"Crazy, really crazy!"
This was the first feeling everyone present had when they heard Gu Qingyang's laughter, but while they felt Gu Qingyang was crazy, they were also inexplicably sad.
They really couldn't understand Gu Qingyang, and they didn't know why Gu Qingyang was like this. But they can’t help but think of themselves.
Among the crowd, only people like Shijia who have a perfect life will not fall into sadness.
Sakyamuni has been associated with ancient Western religions since he was born, so he really has nothing to regret in his life.
Western ancient religions handle all matters very thoughtfully, so thoughtfully that after being initiated into Buddhism, Sakyamuni can focus solely on cultivation.
But not everyone has the most powerful life bone, and not everyone has the great compassion bone. How many people are there in the world who can be like Sakyamuni?
Even if the world is really changed and the scene of a prosperous age is manifested, at most only a very small number of people can do this.
Shakya is able to do this because of the Great Compassion Bone. There have only been ten kinds of life bones like this throughout the ages, and they may not all appear at the same time.
And not all owners of the most powerful life bones can be blessed with great luck. For example, Gu Qingying, she is the real owner of the eternal demon bone.
I wonder, is she lucky?
The greatest luck of Gu Qingying's life is that her brother is Gu Qingyang. Other than that, nothing lucky ever happened to her.
Maybe being able to join the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect was considered a special kind of luck, but what those people in the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect wanted was nothing more than her bones.
After a great escape, he finally made it to the Central Continent Prairie alive, and died shortly after at the age of eighteen.
Her biggest wish in this life is to stay with her brother forever.
But even such a wish is a future that is difficult for her to grasp.
So who can live without regrets? Whose life can be truly perfect? Even Shijia would hesitate because he wanted to kill Gu Qingyang.
It seems that truly perfect people do not exist in this world at all. This world is cold, and countless people have experienced this coldness.
It's just that on ordinary days, those people don't think of these things. But now, they have to recall this coldness.
Gu Qingyang's Taoist will is really too strong.
In fact, if we really come down to it and find a reason at the root, then this is probably the only reason.
As early as before, when Gu Qingyang understood the true names and true meanings of the first nine original shackles, they had already been affected by Gu Qingyang's laughter.
Otherwise, the marks of sin would not appear on their bodies at all, and various emotions would not emerge in their hearts.
But now, their emotions are once again affected by Gu Qingyang, just because their Taoism is not as strong as Gu Qingyang's.
Of all the people affected, Shijia's reaction was the smallest. But Shijia is the one who understands Gu Qingyang the best among all people.
When Shijia felt the sadness deep in Gu Qingyang's heart, Shijia's eyes towards Gu Qingyang changed unprecedentedly.
"Maybe... he is just a mortal."
This is really Shijia's true thought deep in his heart. Even if it is just a thought, it is also a reflection of his improved impression of Gu Qingyang.
And the reason why Shijia thinks this way is not completely unreasonable. Sakyamuni also traveled among the world of mortals, preaching, chanting sutras and observing all living beings.
He has seen too much suffering and too many tragedies.
But he has also seen too much light, and seen those people fighting against fate.
When encountering setbacks, some people collapse and never get up again. And some people get up again and move on.
In addition, there are many people, and their attitudes when facing setbacks... and even facing fate are also different.
The sadness shown by Gu Qingyang, in Shijia's opinion, was exactly the same as the sadness of all living beings.
Until this moment, he, Gu Qingyang, was considered a human being in the eyes of Shijia, a great Buddhist and Taoist scholar. Although Shijia didn't know whether his feeling was right or not.
However, Shakya was willing to trust his feelings.
However, at this moment, Gu Qingyang's inner world has been shrouded in mist. In his bleak inner world, the mist was gray.
Looking from a distance, his entire inner world was gray. The incarnation of Gu Qingyang's consciousness sat silently in it.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
I don’t know when it started to rain. It was a light rain rather than a heavy rain, and the pattering of rain actually added a bit of peace to his inner world.
"Ying'er, since you left, brother has been to many places. Brother really wants to find you back -"
"Brother met many people, some of whom were very similar to you, and he helped them. But they are not you after all."
"My brother has cultivated the devil for two lifetimes."
"In the end, my old rival used my Tao to shape shackles for me, and the name of this last shackle was actually gentleness, hahahaha——"
…
Once the bitter feeling breaks out, it is as uncontrollable as the world-destroying flood. Gu Qingyang has been completely engulfed by this feeling.
He knows what he should do.
He also knew what he wanted to do.
But now he really doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to be quiet, that's all. He kept repeating those thoughts deep in his inner world.
Those words were his true words, which he had never mentioned to anyone or expressed to anyone.
Even when facing Su Yue, he rarely said such words.
In fact, a large part of Su Yue's understanding of his past came from Gu Qingying. Of course, Gu Qingyang didn't know all these things.
Otherwise, Gu Qingyang wouldn't be so sad. In fact, he could guess that this last shackle would have the true meaning of gentleness.
Relying on his understanding of the Dao and his knowledge of his own way, it is not particularly difficult to guess the results to this level.
But he just doesn’t want to believe it——
He knows very well what kind of person he is. A person like him... from a secular and traditional perspective, he is a heinous person.
Along the way, if we want to talk about decisiveness in killing, if we want to talk about ruthlessness in strategy, who can compare with him?
In this life, he only looks like a quite normal person because of the accumulation from his previous life.
In fact, if his situation were worse than it is now, he might have to do something extremely extreme.
After all, he is only a human being on the surface.
On the surface he can be a real person, but if you look at it on the inside, at the end of the day...he is a chess player.
In the big chess game of this life, everyone is a chess piece in the hands of both him and Tiandao. They are all chess pieces, but they are applied in different ways.
This is the essential truth.
This statement is very ruthless, but it is also the most true statement. The ten shackles that bound him indeed proved his sin.
Since he can clearly see the sins caused by anger, he will not deny them. But for the last crime, he really didn't want to admit it.
His last sin was tenderness.
When was being gentle a sin? He just wanted his sister to be safe, and he just wanted Su Yue to continue to be safe.
He just hopes that brothers and sisters in the world can stay in love with each other and accompany each other all the time. He just hopes that others can reunite father and daughter and enjoy the warmth.
So he gave his gentleness and changed many people's lives in a way that was completely contrary to his spiritual path.
But at the end of the day, is it a sin?
When he realized this fact, Gu Qingyang really wanted to curse. But he also understands that this does seem to be one of his shortcomings.
If he could just choose the ruthless path like in his previous life, then based on his experience in his previous life, it would be impossible to say that he would be above the tenth realm now.
But in this life, he is still obsessed with pursuing perfection. He always felt that he was no different from thousands of people in the world, and always thought that everything should be like that.
In fact... it was precisely because of the knowledge accumulated in his previous life that he knew that all tragedies happened only because of his lack of strength.
If he is strong enough, he can reverse any battle, win the chess game, and make up for all the regrets.
So he is pursuing perfection.
In this life, he could have re-walked the path of his previous life without any obstacles. As long as he was willing to re-enact it, he could be like he was in the Abyss of Demonic Chaos.
In one thought, he reached the sixteenth realm and became the master of the demonic path. From then on, he was regarded as invincible in the world. But what he wants is not just to be invincible!
There is heaven above this world!
The opponent he wants to defeat is the sky. If he doesn't make changes, he is destined to lose. He couldn't accept that ending.
Looking at this life again, he failed to keep his sister and he could not keep himself by Su Yue's side. He just kept moving forward.
Move forward, lose, move forward——
He seemed to be repeating a tragedy. The passage of time seemed to have no meaning in his life.
But in reality? In fact, he felt that the reason why the situation was like this was because he was not strong enough and could not achieve perfection.
If he was strong enough, his sister would not die, and he could openly hold Su Yue's hand and declare to the world that she was his woman.
Even if you want to help others, you don't need to risk your life again and again. But that can only be part of his ideal, not reality.
"Crazy!"
Gu Qingyang had an epiphany. He suddenly understood something. He suddenly understood why this tenth shackle was completely different from the first nine.
Nine thoughts are anger, and the only thought is delusion.
Nine angers and one ignorance show endless greed.
This is the manifestation of Tiandao taking advantage of his three major sins to the extreme, and it is also the fundamental reason why this killing situation is so unsolvable.
Tiandao took advantage of his persistence. If he really wanted to break this situation, he might have to wait. When he stops being attached, it will be fine.
But the question is, can he not be persistent?
Gu Qingyang himself knows the answer to this question best. He won't, and he can't stop being persistent. The road has been chosen and he will not regret it.
He will only hate that he is not strong enough. Other than that...he will not have any unnecessary thoughts. He will only think like this.
"No--"
Suddenly, Gu Qingyang felt a flash of inspiration.
