Yichen closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
Taking a deep breath, Baili Ce calmed his anger, turned his head, and took a sip of water with a faint expression.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qingyan then asked another question, "Is the Ancestral Gu something from the Star-Picking Temple?"
Huh?! Baili Ce's pupils dilated in shock.
I was so excited I almost stood up!
Wang Qingyan calmly tightened his grip on her hand, saying, "What's the rush, Madam? Isn't the Taoist priest right here?"
Yichen was surprised for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
"May I ask how Patriarch Wang guessed that?"
This is also what Baili Ce wanted to ask.
"Is it difficult? Since she is not the embodiment of the righteous side of Heaven, yet she can truly defy Heavenly Punishment, kill Heaven, and use Gu to control Gu, she can only be relying on the power of this world."
"Only the Star-Picking Temple has this power."
Yichen looked proud. "Not bad."
"From the moment he glimpsed the Dao of Heaven and developed desires, the patriarch tried to correct them."
"After the correction failed, he calculated the heavenly secrets again and found that although the heavenly way would fall to the mortal world as a result, the death trap of all living beings was not resolved."
"The great road will still be abandoned and unused."
"The 49th of the Heavenly Cycle has been completed, and even the last glimmer of hope that was lost has not appeared."
"So the patriarch devoted all his resources to cultivating the ancestral Gu, and then found a pure land to place it, letting it grow naturally."
"At the same time, he ordered Jiang Zhen and other disciples to travel around and train, to avoid anyone being harmed by the Heavenly Dao as much as possible, and also to capture any 'abnormalities' in the world so as to deal with them in advance."
"Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhen was bewitched by the will of Heaven and became an accomplice."
"Bewitched? You make it sound so easy!"
Wang Qingyan was extremely disgusted by Yichen's words, saying, "Among all the disciples throughout the ages, even I am not as gifted as Jiang Zhen."
"Your patriarch regarded him as the sole inheritor of the Zhaixing Temple. How could someone like him be misled?"
"It's nothing more than your ancestors being blind and misjudging human nature, and being biased and protective of their own!"
Yichen was speechless.
Bai Li Ce frowned. This guy was really something. Even though the other person had been dead for so many years, he still harbored such resentment.
Then I heard him say, “Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs.”
"The real meaning is that, in the eyes of Heaven and Earth and sages, there is no difference between all things in the world."
"But what you just said was clearly an attempt to exonerate Jiang Zhen."
“To deny that his mistakes were due to his nature, to distinguish his actions from the way of Heaven, and even to attribute everything to the way of Heaven.”
He never denied his ambition and desires.
"It is clear from this that your path is extremely narrow and absurd."
Yichen was immediately shocked and his face turned pale.
And then he began to doubt himself, "Could it be... could it be that there's something wrong with my path? No! Impossible, impossible..."
Quickly calming himself down and guarding his thoughts, Yichen, who had almost fallen for Wang Qingyan's trick, closed his eyes and stopped talking to him.
"..." Baili Ce was also stunned.
That's impressive! And what they said makes a lot of sense.
Seeing Yichen teetering on the edge of self-doubt, Wang Qingyan stood up and approached, coldly and contemptuously saying, "After cultivating for so many years, you still can't break free from your ego. No wonder the Zhaixing Temple was destroyed by you."
"..." A sudden clap of thunder startled Yichen, who was momentarily stunned.
Then I started trembling all over...
Despite his best efforts to hold back, he collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood.
"When Heaven uses 'sinners' to wreak havoc on the world and seizes the faith of all living beings, it is destined to create a being with a will and means stronger than Him."
"This is the self-balancing principle of the Great Way, unaffected by worldly likes and dislikes. Yet you see it as a greater calamity and interfere recklessly. What is this if not putting the cart before the horse?"
"Jiang Zhen is cooperating with the Heavenly Dao, arbitrarily destroying other people's lives. He seems to have gone astray, but in reality, he wants to take the place of the Heavenly Dao. You haven't figured this out after all these years. What else can you be but ignorant and foolish?"
"I...I..." Yichen was completely caught up in Wang Qingyan's logic, losing all of his previous upright and righteous demeanor.
"Think about why the Star-Picking Temple has fallen into such a state, and think about why all your fellow disciples met such terrible ends."
Wang Qingyan pulled Baili Ce away, leaving Yichen standing there talking to himself, crying and laughing, without even turning his head back.
However, in the instant his sight disappeared, Baili Ce turned back to look—
Then she "saw" Yichen standing there with clear eyes, bowing to her from afar.
Suddenly, a sentence that Yichen had just said flashed through my mind.
Do not feel any guilt.
......
The day after meeting Yichen, Baili Ce woke up to find that his sense of smell had also disappeared.
She could no longer smell anything and had lost all interest in her daily meals.
Perhaps soon, our sense of taste will also disappear, and then we won't be able to hear the five tones or distinguish the five colors...
As for this body... just as Wang Qingyan once said, it's just a shell.
I used to care so much and be so careful, but now it all seems meaningless.
"Today's flowers are orchids, light purple, very beautiful," but Wang Qingyan would still bring her flowers every day.
Bai Lizhe responded symbolically with two sentences: "The orchid's stem is not long, so it may be difficult to fix it."
As usual, I will take the flowers to the window and replace the ones from the previous day.
While fiddling with the bouquet, she said casually, "Yichen is still quite stubborn. We've tried everything, but he still won't change his mind."
"Why is he so stubborn when he's about to die? I don't necessarily want to kill him."
"He may really not know."
Bai Lize was folding paper, looking very serious, but he didn't actually know what he was trying to fold; he was just folding it randomly according to his feel.
He took the red paper from Baili Ce's hand, saying, "He must know."
He then sat down and unfolded the paper sword that was folded in half. "I'll fold you a frog. I've folded a lot of frogs when I was bored before. They're much more fun than swords."
Wang Qingyan's convictions would never be swayed by anyone, so Baili Ce had no desire to argue with him.
However, "Red frogs are probably poisonous, right?"
Although she wasn't entirely sure, that's how it was portrayed in Calabash Brothers.
“…” Wang Qingyan paused in his hand movements, then tore up the origami.
Bai Li Ce casually poured himself a glass of water. "I want to eat fish today."
Wang Qingyan frowned. "Didn't we eat fish yesterday and the day before? Why are we eating it again today? Do you like it that much?"
Did you eat fish yesterday and the day before?
She thought she was eating steamed buns, which were floury and similar to wall plaster.
"There are many ways to cook fish, it tastes good, and it's fresh. Most importantly, it's made by you, so of course I like it."
"Then I'll make you sweet and sour fish today."
"it is good"
"Make two more dishes."
"After dinner, let's go to the yard and swing on the swings. I've been working on them for a long time; I'm sure you'll like them..."
Wang Qingyan kept talking, completely unaware that the bouquet of flowers he had just replaced was gradually changing color from the edges.
