Chapter 140: The Greedy Guest

“That would kill a lot of people.”

When Chu Tai was about to walk out of the mountain gate, Taoist Ruoque's slightly hoarse voice came from behind him.

"so what?"

Chu Tai, who deliberately did not choose to fly away on a cloud, asked a rhetorical question with his back to Taoist Ruoque.

He could feel the struggle in Taoist Ruo Que's heart, and could also feel his aura growing stronger as he struggled. He stood there and waited for a while.

Hearing Chu Tai's question, Taoist Ruoque closed his eyes. When Chu Tai took a step forward again, he took a step forward, came in front of Chu Tai, and waved his hand suddenly. White mist rose, streams of light danced, and turned into a net that covered Chu Tai.

The mist was soft and the light was firm. Although he had no intention of hurting anyone, it completely revealed his desire to stop Chu Tai.

Looking back, the corners of Chu Tai's mouth curled up slightly, and the true energy on his head turned, turning into rising flames. Lines of fire crisscrossed back and forth, forming a net and colliding with Taoist Ruoque's magic, burning in the opposite direction.

“Fellow Daoist, when we were communicating, I said that although Tongtian Method is good, the power of magic and supernatural power is still a little weak.”

"If fellow Daoist's magic is insufficient, what about mine?"

Thunder appeared and shattered the flames. Zhang Tianshi stood up again, surrounded by golden light.

"Master, are you going to faint for a while? That would be better. Why do you always like to make some inappropriate choices?"

Unlike Taoist Ruoque, with whom Chu Tai had been in contact for more than half a month, Chu Tai did not have any good impression of Zhang Tianshi and naturally would not show any mercy.

Facing Chu Tai's sarcasm, Zhang Tianshi showed a bitter expression. He felt that he should have met Chu Tai before the railway people came to repair Tianya.

If I had known in advance that Chu Tai had this kind of personality and this kind of means, how could I have…

Zhang Tianshi thought of this and shook his head again, refuting himself in his heart: "It would be useless even if I knew it in advance. If I hadn't seen this scene, I wouldn't necessarily believe that he could do this, let alone someone from the imperial court..."

Zhang Tianshi, who was somewhat pessimistic, sneered in his heart and made a final struggle.

"Is there no room for relaxation?"

Chu Tai could understand this, but he found it a little ridiculous.

"I don't believe you don't know the character of that group of people, Master. They can make a fuss even if they are unreasonable, and try every means to tear a piece of meat from us."

"In my current situation, if I can't get a final say, they will inevitably bring up my background, and more people will die."

"This situation was doomed by the man in the capital. From the moment the railway man took action, it was irreversible. No matter me, or Fellow Daoist Ruque, or even you, or even the entire Immortal Path, no one can escape."

"I will now kill at the fastest speed and with the most brutal means until no one dares to plot against me and no one dares to care about this matter. This is the only way to truly avoid the killing."

Chu Tai looked in the direction of the capital. He knew that there would be bloodshed and many people would die, but he knew even more clearly that if he could not suppress the other party's greed, he would not be able to make an example of them.

What awaits Chu Tai is endless hunting. Even the imperial court may force Taoist Ruoque, Yun Wei, and all those who have a friendship with Chu Tai, or even just met him, to deal with Chu Tai, in order to force Chu Tai to surrender.

During this process, if Chu Tai showed any kindness to the people, or cared about ordinary people, those people would definitely drive the people to deal with Chu Tai.

At that time, there would only be more people innocently implicated in this battle.

Zhang Tianshi was silent, and Taoist Ruque lowered his head.

The whole audience fell into a temporary silence again.

Chu Tai looked at Taoist Ruo Que, whose aura was unstable and at an extreme level, and probably guessed his situation. He said nothing more and continued to move forward. Zhang Tianshi and Taoist Ruo Que took action at the same time, and the green lotus leaves were stacked layer by layer, trying to block Chu Tai's progress. The golden light of thunder was hidden in them, forming a binding law net.

The true Qi of Fu Xiyao in Nanyan Cave rolled, and he raised his sleeves and waved them. A flame like a flying star turned in the air and turned into a palm as big as an acre. With a casual pinch, the lotus leaves withered, the golden light dimmed, and the thunder dissipated.

Zhang Tianshi took two steps back, while Taoist Ruoque looked calm. He raised his hand lightly, and another clear light came up.

The light was clear, cool like water, and endless. Inside, there was a lotus leaf floating. Even though it was suppressed again and again by the Fu Xi Yao Zhen Qi of Nan Yan Cave, it never collapsed, and even grew more and more.

When Zhang Tianshi saw this, his eyes widened, and a hint of smile appeared in Chu Tai's eyes.

He suppressed his outward emotions and asked, "Qingheyi, no, it should be called Saintyi at this moment, what have you realized that has made this magical power even more powerful?"

Zhang Tianshi and Xiao Tianshi standing by were also a little curious, while Yun Wei, who was practicing the same method, had a red face and tears in his eyes. He saw the highest manifestation of his own Guizhen Dao's magical powers.

Guizhen Dao is the confluence of the three religions, emphasizing red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, and the magical powers of the three religions are integrated into one.

The green lotus leaf refers to the green lotus dress, which represents the Confucian concepts of sincerity, uprightness of mind, self-cultivation, and family harmony. It is also the embodiment of Mingde and even Mingmingde.

Therefore, if one wants to cultivate the Qing He Yi, one has to have extremely high requirements on oneself. Previously, Yun Wei had been unable to get started, and it was not until Chu Tai pointed out some problems in his mind that he was able to break through the confusion and let go of his worries that he was able to achieve some success.

But Yun Wei's Qingheyi is nothing more than being honest with himself, knowing what he wants and what he can do, and having a righteous heart without evil. The subsequent cultivation of body and mind and the cultivation of virtue are nothing more than a means to gradually enhance the power of supernatural powers.

Only by being honest to oneself and others like Taoist Ruoque, can one take this supernatural power a step further and spread it outward, just like infecting the behavior of others with one's own virtues.

Originally, Yun Wei felt that reaching the level of Ruo Que Taoist was already the pinnacle, and he never thought that he could reach this level.

He looked at his master with the same sharp eyes, waiting for his answer.

“Because I understand my greed!”

Taoist Ruo Que raised his head and looked at Chu Tai in the surprised eyes of others, and continued: "In the past, I wanted to become an immortal and ascend to heaven. To put it bluntly, I was greedy for life. Now I am still greedy for life, but I am no longer greedy for my own life."

Chu Tai laughed loudly when he heard this: "The Taiping Jing says: Among the 36,000 heavens and earths, longevity is the best. It also says: Heaven is the one that is most greedy for longevity and always lives. Immortals are also greedy for longevity and life. Those who are greedy for life dare not do wrong, and each considers their own health. It also says: Those who are greedy for life are blessed by heaven, those who are greedy for nourishment are helped by the earth, and those who are greedy for benevolence are loved by everyone..."

"Fellow Daoist, you have realized the principle of greed for life. There is one more greedy person in this world. This is really cause for celebration. This is cause for celebration!"

Chu Tai clapped his hands repeatedly, being very happy, which made the people around him stunned. However, Taoist Ruo Que understood what Chu Tai meant. He looked at Chu Tai again and asked the original question.

This time, Chu Tai gave an affirmative answer.

"At most, after I kill the royal family's direct descendants, there won't be any major chaos. If that doesn't work, I'll stay there for a while and help suppress the chaos to the lowest level."

Hearing this, Yun Wei did not fully understand. The little Taoist priest trembled at the smell of blood. Taoist priest Zhang frowned slightly. The railway man and the bronze monk looked at each other and sighed.

Only Taoist Ruo Que understood Chu Tai's idea after hearing this, and bowed and said, "In this case, I'll leave the matter of the capital to you, Taoist Taining. You don't have to worry about us inside the immortal sect, I will help you deal with it. If you still don't listen to my advice and still attack you, Taoist friend, don't worry about my thoughts and friendship."

After saying that, Ruo Que walked to the side and called Yun Wei. When he was about to leave Bu Tian Cliff, he turned back to look at Zhang Tianshi and asked, "Tianshi, are you coming?"

Zhang Tianshi shook his head and rejected Ruoque's invitation: "Longhu Mountain is a big family with a lot of wealth. We can't afford such a turmoil. Besides, we need someone to help look after Butian Cliff. I'll stay here."

After saying that, Zhang Tianshi turned his head away, not looking at Master Chu Tai and his disciple Ruoque who were leaving on a cloud of light. The young Tianshi next to them stepped forward to comfort them, but was stopped by Zhang Tianshi.

"Toki Ye! Life!"
