No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 158 Seeing the Devil
Taoist Qinggua looked at his weeping disciple and the flag. He wanted to say something but fell silent again.

Finally, he couldn't help himself and said, "Disciple, don't be fooled by him."

"He is a demon!"

"Ah?" Xu Shun was stunned.

Is Chen Xianren a demon?

"Chen Xianren is the devil! I have seen this flag when I was in the fairyland! Wherever the flag covers, we are defeated!"

"The sword energy of most of them is red!"

"So, I can say for sure that Immortal Chen is one of them! They are the Heavenly Demons!"

Taoist Qinggua looked at Xu Shun and said seriously, "It's the demon that drove us down from the fairyland!"

"Huh?" Xu Shun still didn't believe it.

Are they demons?
How can they be demons?
How the hell could they be demons?
"I have met them in the fairy world before!" Taoist Qinggua said, "They always use small favors to win people's hearts, and then let everyone follow their ideas, gather the power of the group, and turn the number of people into combat power."

"Isn't this a good idea?" Xu Shun asked.

"Of course it's not good!" Taoist Qinggua said, "If we all join them, where will the immortals be? How can we be free and at ease?"

If everyone in the world were of one mind and wanted to change the world, where would there be a place for people like them to practice? Where would they be able to achieve the freedom and ease they seek?
The premise of freedom is liberty.

Freedom means being able to do whatever you want, without any constraints! Instead of using collective power to suppress all monsters and demons, they can only tremble under such power!
From the Qinghua Taoist to Lan Ran, everyone in the Qinghua Sect has always pursued this.

[The immortals should be free and unfettered! ]

【But he also sticks to his original intention, does not rely on the majority to bully the minority, does not rely on his success to dominate others, and does not seek trivial matters. He does not regret missing opportunities, nor is he proud of catching up with opportunities. 】

[I do not know how to enjoy life, nor do I know how to hate death; I am not happy to be born, and I do not refuse to die; I leave without restraint, and come back freely. 】

【I have my own persistence and my own way. 】

[Even if there are thousands of people, I will go there. Among the three thousand rivers, I will choose the one I want. ]

Taoist Lan’s words rang in Xu Shun’s ears.

To Xu Shun now, these words sounded like just two words.

Selfish.

Immortals are sophisticated egoists!
The free and easy immortals and the immortals who do whatever it takes may have different actions, but in essence, they all become immortals because of this.

The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. The way of man is to reduce the deficiency and make up for the surplus.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Living for yourself is the way to survive.

Therefore, cultivators and immortals never consider "altruism".

We are not related, but we still have to sacrifice for others?
How can it be?

Individualism and collectivism are mutually incomprehensible.

Therefore, in the eyes of immortals like Qinggua Taoist, they are demons.

Demonic cultivators are people who follow different paths, and the Heavenly Demon is the one who destroys the path of cultivation.

"As long as the devil exists, there will be no us!"

"The devil can easily bewitch a young person like you who is not very experienced in the world, and make you sacrifice your cultivation and life for the so-called ideal." Taoist Qinggua didn't know where his disciple got the poem from, and continued to speak from the bottom of his heart:
"Practice is one's own business. How can one follow the will of others?"

"The devil is good at confusing people. You should think about yourself and don't be like him, sacrificing your life for the sake of a village."

"How pitiful!" Xu Shun was silent. He didn't know what to say.

The cultivation he had once practiced collapsed in his eyes, and the path to immortality he had once pursued also changed.

The death of Chen Wentao and the words of Taoist Qinggua, immortals and demons, self-interest and altruism, everything, made his head feel like a mess.

"My Tiger" roared in his ears, feeling anxious.

"Daolong" kept squeezing him, making him feel a little chest tightness.

After a long while, Xu Shun said in a hoarse voice: "Master, let's go! I need to think about it carefully."

"Alright!"

Taoist Qinggua looked at Xu Shun's distraught look and knew that Xu Shun's Taoism was shaken.

"I'll take you back to Qingyun Market first, you can have a good rest!" said Taoist Qinggua.

So Xu Shun cheered up, said a few words to the villagers, and then went out of the water gate with Qinggua Taoist.

"Master, what should we do with them?" Xu Shun suddenly asked, pointing at Shuimen.

Taoist Qinggua sighed and said, "Just leave it here!"

He went on to say, “I know they have come into contact with the demons, and they may find them in the future.”

"In the future, they may become a force for the demons in the world of immortal cultivation."

"But if you ask me to kill them now, I am not a beast and I cannot do it!"

Although he is selfish and pursues freedom, he cannot bear to attack unarmed mortals.

So he said he was not a beast.

From this perspective, he is indeed different from those banished immortals!
"Master is a good man!" Xu Shun said with relief. He knew that Taoist Qinggua had no reason to lie to him.

When Taoist Qinggua heard Xu Shun say this, he laughed out loud: "If the demon comes to the world of immortal cultivation one day, we will fight each other. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. There is nothing to say!"

"Asking me to attack a mortal, I cannot do this!"

He also has his own bottom line.

"Let's go!" Taoist Cucumber raised his hand, and a flying boat like clouds and mist lifted them both up. He wanted to send Xu Shun back.

"Master, let's continue!" On the flying boat, Xu Shun suddenly said, "I want to know how many people are around our Qinghua Sect!"

The grandfather and grandson took a flying boat and flew around the Qinghua Sect for a few days. What they saw was shocking and made their scalps tingle!

There was no crowing of roosters for a thousand miles, and all the houses were empty. Due to the banished immortal's efficient slaughter, no one was seen alive in the countless villages and towns he passed by in the past few days.

In some small cities, all the people in the city have been refined!

Only in a few large cities are there people because of the presence of monks.

But in the mortal world, towns also need to be supported by villages and towns. Without people in the countryside to grow food, how can so many people in the city survive?

Taoist Cucumber was so angry that he couldn't help but curse at those locusts!

He never imagined that those bastard banished immortals would massacre mortals wantonly after coming to the world of immortal cultivation.

Do mortals have a grudge against them?
Damn it!
He hurried back to Qinghua Sect with Xu Shun to report. Something really big had happened.

It's like this around Qinghua Sect, what about other places?
No one knows whether the catastrophe of the immortal world has come, but the mortals in the immortal world are the first to face the catastrophe!

If there are no mortals in the entire world of immortal cultivation, there will be big problems!
