Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 135 Unsheathing
Scholar and monk, you must never act like you used to.

Bai Suzhen continued to vent her anger.

"Do you know that it wasn't hell that chose Guo Bei, but Guo Bei who chose hell?"

"This place is not a good place, and this person is not a good person."

He pointed to the numerous phantom images of evil spirits that were still gathering.

"Those who sow discord, slander and harm others, sow discord among family members, incite fathers and sons, engage in prostitution, theft and robbery, bully the weak and bully the good, make false accusations and slander, enrich themselves at the expense of the public, offer or accept bribes, steal chickens and dogs, rob money and property, and commit arson."

"The evil karma created by so many evil people is something that even Ruoxu could not bear or overcome."

"If you enter the city, you will surely be burdened by karma. When all the laws of the underworld descend, your soul will become a ghost immortal, and you will find it difficult to attain sainthood even after countless eons!"

His tone was very serious, and he even clenched his fists.

If this person insists on going his own way, he is not worthy to be a fellow Daoist.

Xu Xuan was rebuked
It's really heartwarming; this girl is quite responsible.

I roughly understand what the other person is trying to say, and I also understand that what they just said was the thought of a logically sound practitioner.

But he's not normal.

This is a collision of two ideas about time and space.

It is also a clash between a thousand years of cultivation and a year of cultivation.

It is also a clash between the righteous path and the demonic path.

Perhaps Xu Xuan will be able to accept this idea a thousand years from now, or perhaps Bai Suzhen will be able to understand his choice a year from now.

But at this moment, the two have a very clear divergence in their paths.

Xu Xuan gazed at the convergence of cause and effect within the city, a sight that would make any cultivator tremble.
Far from being afraid, sparks slowly ignited in his eyes.

In the midst of a killing calamity, the soul will involuntarily draw closer to the most authentic and primal thoughts in one's heart.

The memories in the mind of the person who voluntarily entered the abduction are churning.

"Do you know that my early education was not completed in Qiantang?"

No one knows why this man would bring this up at such a critical moment.

"I once told Zao a story in which the person used very angry words to shout out against the darkness in human nature."

"At that time, China was in turmoil, the world was in chaos, lives were lost, and people's hearts were filled with evil."

"Guo Bei? What was Guo Bei in that era!"

"But countless people still voluntarily enter the calamity, not because they are blinded by the calamity, but because they want to recreate the world."

"One after another, they rushed forward, paving the way with their lives."

"So that future generations can see the mountains ablaze with autumn colors and witness the bustling river races!"

"I don't know if I, Xu Hanwen, will still have this mindset a hundred years from now, but at this moment, my students are still waiting for me!"

Xu Xuan didn't know what he would become if the timeline were extended.

However, he will have to step away from the righteous path represented by Bai Suzhen for a while.

If deviating from the norm is what makes someone a demon, then let's become demons first.

Xiaoqing trembled again. Xu Xuanhe and her sister made her freeze, wishing she could just go into hibernation.

Especially for scholars and monks, if you keep talking, you'll be smashed into a pancake.

Bai Suzhen, seeing the other party's unrepentant gaze, resigned herself to the situation.

Forget it, why should I get angry with someone like that?

A monk who doesn't even agree that one should first help others before helping oneself—whether he's truly compassionate or a true demon is up to you to decide.

Anyway, going in means certain death, so this is a good way to end the emotional entanglement.

Even with extraordinary talent and boundless luck, such a mindset will not lead to enlightenment.

Go ahead, go ahead, if I stop you again I'm a stupid snake.

He directly transmitted the method of astral projection.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Bai."

Xu Xuan immediately stood still and began to meditate, remaining silent and immersing himself in his body.

His spirit resided in the Heavenly Court, the abode of all gods and the spiritual platform of all Buddhas. Ordinary cultivators need to create and evolve their own, but Xu Xuan already had his own world before even entering the Dao, and he even came to stroll around every day.

I'll go out for a walk today.

He gazed softly at the image of the White Lotus Holy Father before him and spoke.

"Only after Sun Wukong stormed the underworld and wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace did he earn the title of Great Sage."

"Is it too much for me, Xu Hanwen, to learn from my idol today?"

"That young lady is a good snake, but she still doesn't understand our capabilities."

"Everyone usually says that the White Lotus is the biggest threat to the human world, let's see if you can still be a big threat in the underworld."

As his soul and physical form merged, Xu Xuan's perspective was elevated, allowing him to see the ever-evolving Pure Land and the end times in the void.

Then, nonchalantly, he stepped down from the thirty-sixth lotus platform, left the realm of the divine soul, and walked out of the true human microcosm.

The feeling of mountains and rivers being shattered and the earth sinking suddenly arose, as if taking this step would mean certain death and annihilation.

It takes great courage and perseverance to break through this barrier between life and death.

The white lotus spirit was naturally fearless and took a light step forward.

The physical body relinquishes its power, sits in the lotus position, and has a dignified and solemn appearance.

Another Xu Xuan stepped out, handsome and dashing, with stars in his eyes, and a white monk's robe with faint lotus patterns.

Stepping into the void, I felt empty and hollow; a faint breeze passed through my body without leaving any trace.

This posture bears a resemblance to Ruoxu's, and one can faintly hear the chanting of Buddhist hymns; he is clearly a truly virtuous and eminent monk.

Only Bai Suzhen sensed something was wrong; the soul was too solid, unlike the foundation of someone who had just entered the Dao.

This Buddhist spirit refers not only to Pure Land or Ksitigarbha, but to a more special essence.

Could it be that this person still has a chance?
Ah, those who don't know how to cherish.

Xu Xuan stayed in place for a while to adjust to his divine soul body and felt that there was no difference.

Isn't it said that the first time you leave your body, you'll feel like you're floating on air and be overwhelmed by all sorts of illusions?
So all the inner demons were suppressed by Bai Lian? How boring, how boring. Guo Bei is much more interesting.

The human body is a precious raft for navigating the world, but it is also a constraint.

Having detached himself from his physical body, Xu Xuan is now even more unrestrained, and his true nature, which was previously suppressed by Buddhist teachings, is constantly influencing him.

The restless mind wreaks havoc in the heavenly palace, the willful horse transforms into a white dragon.

He stared boldly at the girl in white.

"If the underworld descends, then destroy me and Guo Bei together."

"If you come back alive, we'll talk."

It's a bit of a shame that the promise to get married as soon as I get back won't be able to be raised anymore.

He turned to look at Xiaoqing.

"After I die, take the valuables out of the pot and do with them as you please."

Xiaoqing had only taken two steps forward when she was frozen in place by the moisture and could not move.

This wasn't the usual demon-slaying; it was going against the rules of a realm. Bai Suzhen couldn't possibly send her sister to her death.

Xu Xuan nodded to Miss Bai, then turned and slowly walked towards the north gate of Guobei City.

Beneath the black city gate, a monk in white robes stood alone.

A stylish hand gesture.

Clang! ! !
A sharp and incomparable sword aura flew out of the pot and landed at the waist, the killing intent boiling over the sky, and a sword mark split the two characters "Guo Bei" on the door in the middle.

Seven Stars Big Dipper Sword!
Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. I cannot have both, so I would rather sacrifice life for righteousness.

When Xu Xuan made the decision to enter the city to save people, this sword reached the peak of its destiny.

Early morning classmate, your words of "don't come" have forced me to come.

Since you call me Master Xu, I will protect you!
With another wave of his hand, a red ribbon flew out from his sleeve, tying himself to his body like a fiery cloud.

Sacrificing one's life to save others—this compassionate robe must be accepted whether one chooses to accept it or not.
