"Alas~"
"who!"
"it's me."
"Longxian, you are finally willing to show up. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me once? I promise I will never do this again."
In a flash of white light, Bailong Aojin appeared in front of Zhang Qiaonian. He waved his hand and Zhang Qiaonian stood up.
Bailong Aojin said, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've suffered a loss in this before. Anyway, there's nothing wrong now, so I'll tell you what happened before."
Zhang Qionian nodded, picked up a bottle of AD calcium from the altar table and handed it to him.
Bailong Aojin took a sip. He slowly told his story.
Many years ago, there was a blue oval dragon egg covered with patterns under a submarine reef deep in the Bohai Sea.
Because it is stuck in the gap under the reef, no large fish can get in. Even if some small fish occasionally pass by, they just look at it curiously and leave, because this dragon egg looks like a piece of green algae. cobblestone.
Only the small fish and shrimps that feed on algae will notice this egg.
"Crack" The sound of the dragon egg suddenly cracking scared away the surrounding fish and shrimps, and a white dragon emerged from the egg shell.
Without any curiosity about the surrounding environment, perhaps out of instinct, after the dragon ate all the shells of the dragon egg, many memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
This is the unique memory inheritance of the Dragon Clan.
Through memory, he learned that his name was Ao Jin, and in addition, he also had methods of practice.
It didn't know how long it had been at the bottom of the sea. It only remembered that when it left the sea, no one in the sea could threaten him.
From then on, he began a life of traveling around the world, because in his memory, traveling around the world was also a way of spiritual practice.
He vaguely remembered that when he first came to the world, corpses were everywhere, and war had swept across the entire land of China.
"Hakki Night Parade" is no longer enough to describe the scene at that time.
Demons and ghosts were even more unscrupulous and harmed the people at that time.
In line with Ao Jin's belief in punishing evil and promoting good, as long as he found evil things that harmed the people, no one was spared, and he swallowed them all.
As time went by, his strength became stronger and stronger, until one day he encountered an organized evil.
He vaguely remembered that this organization was called Tianli Sect.
The Tenri Sect was founded by a person who practiced evil arts, and its members also practiced evil arts such as refining ghosts and exorcising demons.
At that time, the evil beings sent by the Tianli Sect were massacring a village, but Ao Jin discovered them and killed most of them.
The rest all fled one after another, and Ao Jin, who was careful, discovered that these evil creatures all fled in one direction.
He decided to go and have a look. As a result, at this glance, it was discovered that it was the people of the Tianli Sect who were driving these evil things to cause trouble.
After countless raids, Ao Jin finally destroyed all the members of the Tianli Sect, and even the strongest leader died in his hands.
If things ended here, it would be a happy ending. Unfortunately this is not the story.
Because there are thousands of Tianli Sect members, and there are countless evil creatures under their control.
The resentment of these people and evil things before their death alarmed the heavens. God sent down punishment, but Ao Jin luckily survived the punishment.
But he has also been sealed by God for thousands of years, and even now he is still guilty.
During the thousand years of being sealed, he began to reflect on everything he had done, but even on the day he was unsealed, he still didn't understand where he had gone wrong.
Until the seal was lifted, an old man with gray hair and a childlike face descended from the sky riding a deer.
"Ao Jin, do you know what crimes you have committed during these thousand years?"
Ao Jin shook his head blankly.
"Since you don't know, just follow me to a certain space. You will know it when you get there."
In this way, the old man took Ao Jin and flew in the sky for a long time until he saw a space blocked by thunder and lightning in the distance.
The old man waved his hand, and Leiden automatically made way for a passage.
When they flew past the lightning blockade, their eyes suddenly opened up.
This is an endless space, with gray and golden light groups in the sky complementing each other.
From time to time, two-color air currents float up from below and merge with the light group in the sky.
"Do you know what these two light groups are?"
Ao Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The old man explained, "The gray light group is the sin caused by the living beings in this world, and the golden light group is the merit accumulated by the living beings in this world."
Ao Jin asked doubtfully, "Don't merits and sins follow the creature itself from life to life? I remember there is a saying in the world that says, "Nothing can be taken away, only karma remains with you." Is this wrong?"
The old man smiled and said, "This is just what people call gods to lie to them. The reason why they say this is to make people in the world commit less sins and accumulate more merits."
Ao Jin wondered, "In that case, the sins I have committed will not have any impact on me, and the accumulated merits will not be of any benefit to me. Can I understand this?"
The old man explained, "Although there is nothing wrong with saying this, it is not entirely correct. For example, when a person is born, a companion god will be born with him. This companion god will record everything you do during your lifetime. Until After this person dies, the Companion God will decide what species the person will be reincarnated into in the next life based on everything the person has done in life. This is called the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the human world. If this person has committed too many sins during his lifetime, the Companion God will do something to this person. Curse. If you accumulate too much merit, the companion god will also pray for this person. This is called worldly retribution in the human world. However, this kind of retribution in this world rarely happens. "
Ao Jin asked, "So all the sins and merits produced by the creatures in the world will come here, right? But what will happen if the space here is filled with sins?"
The old man said seriously, "Then this world will perish. Not only the living creatures in the world, but also you and me will disappear. Although my power now far exceeds that of the so-called gods in the world, I am still very small in front of heaven."
"What is the way of heaven?"
The old man said, "The Dao of Heaven is nothing. The Dao of Heaven is a law, the law of the movement of all things in time. All living things cannot be above the Dao of Heaven. I guess this space is the way of measurement that was opened by the Dao of Heaven to detect whether there are still living things in the world." .”
"I think you understand."
The old man smiled and said, "What do you understand?"
Ao Jin said, "The reason I was punished was because the people I killed had too much resentment. Because they were strong, they had more resentment. Their resentment caused the place to lose its original balance. .”
The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the Dragon Clan is indeed the only race that has been handed down from ancient times, and its understanding is indeed extraordinary. Now that you know where you went wrong, then you should find a way to find someone to accumulate merit and let this place continue to recover. Balance it.”
Ao Jin asked, "This is not a problem, but if you are so powerful, why don't you go to the world in person to teach people so that they will no longer commit sins. In this way, this place will be filled with merits and sins will not be able to enter."
The old man shook his head, "Impossible. In today's world, the species that produces the most merits and sins is humans. Humans can be said to be the leaders of the world today. They are very smart, but they also have certain bad qualities. Greedy, selfish , jealousy, and all negative emotions will invite them to do some sinful things. So wherever there are people, there will be sins. Now I can think of the best way to counterbalance the world with merits and sins. "
Ao Jin nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand. I haven't asked you yet, okay?"
The old man scratched his head in confusion, "It's been too long, and I can't remember it. I only serve the way of heaven, but I can't bear to see the destruction of all living beings in the world now. The title is no longer important to me. This time, too." I just want you to understand your mistake. We may not have a chance to see each other again in the future. Well, let’s stop talking to you. It’s up to you how to go in the future. You must remember that although you You have been released now, but you will still be a guilty person during your lifetime, so you must be careful in your words and deeds in the future."
"The old man disappeared after saying this."
After Bailong Aojin finished telling his story, he looked at Zhang Qionian to see if he could understand some truth in his story.
"So who is that old man?"
Bailong Aojin obviously didn't expect that Zhang Qionian would ask such a question after hearing his story.
"I still don't know who he is, and it's been hundreds of years since I've seen him. But after I've told you so much, you want to ask me who he is?"
Zhang Qionian shook his head, "Of course not. I'm just curious about his identity, but I also have a question."
"What do you think."
Zhang Qionian thought for a while and said, "According to what you and I said, the sins we have done and the merits we have accumulated are all in that space. Wouldn't those who do good deeds suffer a lot?"
"Why did you say that?"
Zhang Qiongnian said, "Look, according to what you just said, if you haven't done anything outrageous or have extremely strong merits, the Companion God will not care about you. It will only record everything you do and wait until you die." To settle the matter, but I still have to drink Meng Po soup before reincarnation. I have completely forgotten everything. Even if I am punished in the underworld, how can I remember it? What's more, there are no substantial benefits for people who accumulate virtue. , the perpetrators of crimes have not been substantially punished. If they die and are liquidated, how can they give people a chance to reform? This is inconsistent. The wealth obtained by the perpetrators is not shared with me, but the crimes they committed But you want the world to share it equally, what’s the point?”
Bailong Aojin quickly interrupted him, "Forget it, I can't help you. If you have a chance to see that old man in the future, maybe he will give you a perfect answer. I can't understand it at all in my current state. I and I The reason why you say so much is that I want to tell you that the reason why I don’t take action is because I am already a guilty person. If I am targeted by Heaven again, I don’t know how long I will be sealed, so I will try not to do anything in the future. Let me take action, I don’t want to be sealed again.”
Zhang Qionian asked, "Then what role do you play in my court?"
Bailong Aojin said, "You are stupid, I am the facade, but I am the dragon, your totem passed down from China for five thousand years. How many halls have dragons sitting in command? You should feel honored."
Although Bailong Aojin was still angry with him before, looking at his arrogant state, he has obviously forgiven him. Zhang Qionian could only nod helplessly.
Although Bailong Aojin was not satisfied with his current attitude, he didn't become aggressive anymore when he looked at the snacks on the table.
"Okay, I'm going back first. Remember you still owe me a lot of snacks, don't forget to pay me back. You should also go back early. The woman who died in the battle with Hongchen Inn that day is also waiting outside."
As soon as Zhang Qiaonian heard that Yuwen Yunxin was outside, he asked, "Sister Yuwen? Can I go see her?"
