Great Talisman Seal Script Master

Chapter 685 The old man in the purple bamboo forest

The old man was sitting on a small wooden stool, scratching here and there in an incomprehensible manner. He almost didn't take off his shoes to pick at his feet. Anyway, he just felt comfortable.

"Extraterrestrial demons are strange creatures from another dimension. They are originally incorporeal and harmless."

The old man spoke in a relaxed tone, as if telling a story.

"You may be wondering, how can beings from other dimensions who have no body or cause any harm become the biggest source of evil in the world?"

"This involves all kinds of negative emotions in the world."

The old man sighed and said: "People have seven emotions and six desires and various emotions. Among these emotions, there is a positive side; there is also a dark and depraved side."

"And what these extraterrestrial demons like most are all kinds of negative emotions in the world."

"They were not originally immortal things, and they could not even exist in this world for too long."

"After all, the living environment is completely different. Under normal circumstances, there is no place for them to survive in the human world."

"But all kinds of negative emotions in the world can provide sufficient nutrients for these creatures."

"For example, anger, irritability, bloodthirsty, darkness...all kinds of negative emotions are their favorite delicacies."

At this time, Xiao Gu said from the side: "In that case, it's not a big deal that they exist in this world, right?"

The old man said: "Yes, in the beginning, they were very weak and did not attract people's attention. The world is so big and full of surprises. The emergence of a group of creatures that swallow up negative emotions is not a big deal, and it is even a good thing."

Li Yingdao: "Yes, if they can really eat all the negative things in the world, wouldn't the rest be positive?"

"At the beginning, many people thought so, and no one paid much attention to it." The old man smiled bitterly: "Later I realized how naive this idea was. Not to mention whether all the negative emotions in the world will really disappear completely. Even if it is possible... But will these extraterrestrial demons who have tasted the benefits be willing to watch the world become a pure land? "

"It is impossible to disappear completely." Bai Muye said from the side: "It doesn't need to be a large group. Among a hundred people, there may be some depraved people with dark minds. Looking at the entire human world, there are countless creatures. If you want to completely eliminate the negative Emotions, it’s impossible.”

"Yes, it is impossible in itself. Coupled with the deliberate cultivation of the demon from outside the territory, it is naturally even more impossible." The old man sighed quietly.

"They change into various forms and enter the human world, becoming hypocritical and showing a gentle appearance. Through various ways, they gain a higher status in human society. Then, through war, Plague, poverty...all these methods make people become more and more selfish, depraved and irritable."

The old man looked at Bai Muye and said, "Those degenerates will soon become demons!"

"When the gods and Buddhas discovered that there was a problem in the human world, they tried to eliminate these extraterrestrial demons."

"But it was too late. By that time, the extraterrestrial demons had completely taken root in the world."

"It's already too difficult to really get rid of them."

"Then at this time, some powerful extraterrestrial demons began to be dissatisfied with the status quo at that time. They thought they could fight for more resources."

"So, those ancient extraterrestrial demons took the initiative to provoke a war."

"They understand human nature through their control of the human world, and wantonly slander and smear the gods and Buddhas who have been working hard to save the human world..."

"Sadly, more than 80% of the living beings... believe their words."

The old man looked at Bai Muye and chuckled: "Do you know what it feels like when you really want to save someone, but that person is not only ungrateful at all, but actually wants to kill you with a knife..."

Although the old man was laughing, there was no joy in the laughter. Instead, it was full of sadness.

Bai Muye, Lin Zijin and Xiao Gu were all silent.

"But even so, the gods and Buddhas still have not given up on this world. After all, the gods and Buddhas are almost all creatures who came out of the human world. They know that their homeland is not perfect, and they know that although there are evil and bad people in the world, there are more Most of them are kind-hearted people. They are trying their best to kill those extraterrestrial demons with their magic. To do this, they even do not hesitate to die together with those extraterrestrial demons!"

"There are also Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have made all kinds of great wishes. In order to save the world, what they bet on... is entirely their own future."

"The ancestors of the Taoist sect use various means just to awaken all sentient beings in the world."

The old man said this and smiled slightly: "But it failed."

Xiaobai, Zijin, and Xiaogu all became extremely silent.

They knew the old man was telling the truth.

Because even today, the situation the old man mentioned still exists.

But it is better than the era when the gods and Buddhas were disappointed.

The old man looked at Bai Muye and said in a deep voice, "Don't you think it's ironic?"

Xiaobai said nothing.

Lin Zijin said: "Although there are all kinds of negative things in the world today, in general, I think it is still very good."

"The bright world, the colorful world, of course is good." The old man nodded and glanced at the water tank over there: "Why else would those fish desperately want to go to the human world? But why is it better? Do you know?"

Lin Zijin thought for a while: "Is it because of the heavy losses in that battle with the demons outside the territory?"

The old man nodded: "Even though the world became like that, the saints never really gave up and still tried to save it. For this, the ancient heaven was destroyed and countless people died! Some of the gods and Buddhas also fell. And you... aren't you one of them?"

"At that time, the extraterritorial demons in the world were indeed almost cleared out..." The old man said lightly: "For this, the gods and Buddhas used too many means and spent too much effort! Among the mythological stories you have heard, almost nine out of ten are real things that happened in that era. The purpose is to eliminate those extraterritorial demons that are omnipresent and lingering."

"Until later, there were bigger problems in the outer world, and the gods and Buddhas had no choice but to leave the world to fill the bigger hole."

"It's funny," the old man shook his head slightly , "When the gods and Buddhas protected us before, the people in the world didn't buy it. Even many kind-hearted creatures thought that everything was justified."

"They enjoyed the protection of the gods and Buddhas with peace of mind, and watched them fall indifferently... Including your fall, how many people cried for you?"

The old man said lightly: "I don't know what you felt when you died in the battle. It seems that you didn't awaken your memories of the past. I guessed casually that when you died in the battle, you should have thought that the world was not worth it and didn't want to wake up."

Lin Zijin shook his head, leaned on Bai Muye's shoulder, and whispered: "It doesn't matter whether the world is worth it or not, I have him enough."

Xiao Gu was caught off guard and forced to eat a mouthful of dog food. He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything and counted the ants on the ground.

There are ants in hell?

He stared at the ant.

The ant raised his head: "What are you looking at?"

Xiao Gu: "..."

Didn't they say that ants are creatures living in a two-dimensional world?

Why can it see me?

After the ant finished speaking, it ignored Xiao Gu and crawled away.

Xiao Gu was left in the wind.

The old man laughed: "I forgot that Bai Shuai and Fairy Lin were originally a pair of immortal lovers."

Bai Muye looked at the old man and said: "In other words, before the gods and Buddhas left, they were almost going to completely clean up the extraterritorial demons in the human world? But because something bigger happened in the outer world, they had no choice but to leave?"

The old man said: "It may also be that they are disappointed with the human world."

"You too?" Lin Zijin looked at the old man and asked.

The old man was slightly startled, thought about it, and did not deny it. He nodded and said, "This hell is actually quite good. The name sounds scary, but after being separated from the six reincarnations, it has become a world of its own."

"After so many years, an independent set of rules has already been formed here. And because the creatures in hell almost gather all the evil in the world."

"So, those extraterritorial demons want to come here to make trouble, and it is impossible to succeed."

"So they won't come here either."

"It's quiet. Since it's quiet, it's good like this."

"Then I don't understand a little bit. Since the creatures in hell gather all the evil in the world, those extraterritorial demons come and absorb the negative emotions directly. Is there any need to do anything?" Xiao Gu looked at the old man and asked.

The old man smiled faintly and said, "Do you really think that anyone can come to this hell? They like it and have come to me to cooperate, but no matter how much I don't want to get involved in worldly affairs, I can't get involved with that group of things. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of those ancient heroes who died for this in the past?"

Bai Muye looked at the old man and asked, "According to you, as long as the dark and negative things in the world don't disappear completely, the extraterritorial demons... will not die out, right?"

The old man looked at Bai Muye: "If that's the case, will you still insist?"

"Yes." Bai Muye answered very straightforwardly.

"Nonsense!" The old man stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said lightly: "If you can persist, you would have crawled out of the grave and continued to fight. Why do you need others to wake you up?"

Bai Muye shook his head: "If you can't persist, we can't let others wake you up."

The old man was slightly startled, looking at Bai Muye, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and nodded: "If others say this, I still have to doubt it, but what you said... Well, I admit that you can do it."

"So the senior is not going to leave the mountain?" Lin Zijin looked at the old man and asked.

"Me? Why should I leave the mountain? You want to be great, that's your business. I'm an old man, and I'm used to staying in this cold and gloomy place. I'll catch two cunning fish and make some fish soup. I'll live a carefree life. I won't go out!" The old man answered without hesitation.

Lin Zijin smiled, and had the urge to take a knife, but held back.

He stood up and looked at Bai Muye and said, "Brother, we have learned about the origin of the extraterritorial demons. This trip is not in vain. Let's go."

Bai Muye nodded gently, then looked at the old man and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions and choices. You have your way, and we have ours."

The old man laughed and said, "General Bai is really free and easy. As the saying goes, people with different paths cannot work together. I am here. I wish General Bai can successfully rebuild the six reincarnations, eliminate the evil in the world, and return a piece of pure land to the world!"

Bai Muye smiled and said, "Well, by then, I am afraid that I will have to borrow hell for use."

The old man continued to pat his body a few times, his face sank, and he sneered: "Don't even think about it."

Bai Muye said: "When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be up to you."

The old man chuckled and said, "What? Does Bai Shuai think he can beat me?"

Bai Muye shook his head: "It should be close now."

The old man sneered: "If you say that, I shouldn't let you go!"

"Otherwise, you can just stay here. It just so happens that the three high priests of hell died in your hands. Three of you came here today. Although one of them is very bad, it doesn't matter. We have plenty of time."

"You just stay here and become the new three great priests!"

Xiao Gu took out his bow on the spot. Even if he couldn't beat him at all, he wouldn't give in at this moment.

However, it was discovered that Brother Lin, who had a hot temper, did not make any move.

The old man glanced at Xiao Gu and said with a smile: "You are the weakest, but you dare to show your weapon in front of me. You are so brave!"

Bai Muye said: "Senior, have you finished the test?"

The old man said: "What is the test? Do you think I am joking with you?"

"Shuai Bai, take back what you just said. In this hell, I can't possibly lend it out!"

"You want to rebuild your six paths of reincarnation, become a saint in this world where the laws of heaven and earth have completely changed, and advance to the level of mortal immortal. That is your business and your way."

"I wish you the best, but I can't borrow hell. I will not interfere at all in the battle between you and the demons outside the territory. So, please come back."

Bai Muye smiled, and then said to Lin Zijin: "Let's go, let's take Xiao Gu's father back to the world."

"Wait a minute," the old man looked at Bai Muye with a serious look on his face and twisted his body, "I won't argue with you about killing the three high priests, but you can't continue to take care of the creatures in hell. No one can leave."

Xiao Gu became anxious on the spot. For him, the ultimate purpose of coming to hell was to take his father back.

But Bai Muye laughed: "Everything is negotiable. You are just a mortal, and you are not that kind of stingy person. Do you think this is good? One day, if hell is robbed, I can help you for free."

"What a joke! Who can break through hell?" The old man said with a look of disdain: "Is it just the divine master who is stranded in the world by the demon outside the realm? It can't do it either, it doesn't dare to provoke me!"

"Who is the Lord of God? Is he the biggest demon left in the world?" Bai Muye asked.

The old man no longer answered his question, but rushed out with an impatient look: "Let's go, I've answered a lot of questions for you, don't bother me here anymore. Besides, I'm not joking with you." , you are not allowed to take away any of the creatures in hell!”

The old man changed his mind faster than turning the pages of a book, and instantly became extremely ruthless.

Bai Muye looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, we understand."

With that said, he pulled up Lin Zijin, who was silent, and then glanced at Xiao Gu: "Let's go!"

Xiao Gu was unwilling to give up. He thought that this time he came to hell to bring his father back and be reborn in the human world.

When I met this old man, we had a pleasant conversation at first, and the whole thing seemed very clear to him.

Who wants to take a turn for the worse, but all of a sudden the clouds are overcast.

Staying away from the purple bamboo forest, when the three of them turned back, there was chaos behind them.

Obviously, even if he goes back now, he may not see the old man again.

Xiao Gu looked at Bai Muye and had a lot to say, but before he could say anything, Bai Muye smiled and said, "Let's go pick up your father."

"Huh? This..." Xiao Gu is no longer the young man he was back then.

He almost spent a hundred years as the emperor of the world!

If he hadn't been with Bai Muye, he would never have behaved like a young man.

Ask those childish questions and say those childish words.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand, it’s that he enjoys this feeling!

There were never enough days back then where I had the sky above my head and didn’t have to worry about anything.

Now that he finally found a chance again, he was just reliving the feeling he had back then.

Lin Zijin glanced at him and said with a smile: "After being the emperor for so many years, the city has nothing to do with it? Didn't you see that he did it on purpose?"

"Why is this happening?" Xiao Gu suspected that there was something wrong with the old man's sudden change, but he couldn't figure out why.

Lin Zijin smiled: "I can't say this."

Xiao Gu looked at Bai Muye with a puzzled look.

Bai Muye also said seriously: "I really can't say."

"You two..." Xiao Gu's nose almost became angry.

However, looking at the determined expressions on their faces, the hearts that had been hanging just a moment ago could not help but relax a little.

In that purple bamboo forest.

Not long after Xiaobai and the others left, a dark figure seemed to appear out of thin air and appeared in front of the old man.

At this moment, the old man was picking up the big golden carp.

It's scratching the fish scales.

Several big carps were complaining crazily.

"That's too much, old man. We didn't come here just to give you food."

"That's right, you are not particular about what you do. If you eat us, we will have to be reborn in that lake. We will not be free at all. Just ask, how many times have you eaten us in these years?"

"It must have happened a hundred and eight thousand times..."

"We are here for Bai Shuai this time. If he eats us, he can naturally take us out. Why do you stop him?"

The old man drooped his eyelids and sneered: "You are just a few mature fish, and you scare people as soon as you open your mouth. Who will eat you?"

"Nonsense, is Shuai Bai the kind of person who is timid and afraid of getting into trouble?"

"It's obviously you who's causing trouble!"

"Immortal!"

"Old thing!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

With four screams, four big fat carp were directly knocked to death by the old man.

"Noisy."

After the old man knocked the fish to death, he muttered something, and then without looking back he said to the dark figure behind him: "How is it, are you satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied!" The dark figure roared in a low voice: "He borrowed hell from you, why don't you want to borrow it?"

"Hey, what you said is really funny. My hell, I can borrow it if I want to, and I can't if I don't want to. When will it be your turn to make the decision for me?" The old man had already caught all four big fish. After cleaning it up, he waved his hand and a stove appeared next to him, with a big black pot sitting on the stove.

Light the fire, add oil, add seasonings...

The old man transformed into a chef and performed a series of quick and easy movements.

Put a few big fish into the pot, and take out the top spring water from them, which exudes endless cold air, and add it to the pot.

"Hey, those little guys are not happy with their taste. I don't know that the taste of this fish is unparalleled in the world!"

He muttered to himself, ignoring the dark figure behind him.

"If you do this, our Lord will come one day..."

"Okay, are you bothered? If I don't help each other, it's enough to give you the face of the God Lord. What are you doing here? Do you want me to stew you together? If you have nothing to do, get out of here!" The old man said irritably.

"very good……"

"roll!"

"OK."

The dark figure disappeared here in a swish.

The old man took out a large pot lid, slammed it on the iron pot, looked up at the chaotic void above his head, and murmured: "The odds are not good, we still have to survive in death, I hope you can survive this disaster... safely Let’s go!”

As he spoke, an endless terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the old man's body.

Wow!

With the explosion of this aura, countless divine chains of order appeared on his body!

These divine chains actually all passed through his body, pinning him here!

"Damn it!" The old man took a deep breath, and the terrifying aura on his body disappeared, and the divine chains of order also disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, the old man's steps became a little staggering. He walked towards the big iron pot and took two steps. A large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.

Spray the lid of the pot.
