Poor monk is awesome

Chapter 57
"What does it mean to be my Daoist?"

Jiujie knows that the system has the Daotong function, but it is not currently available to him.

"The host should still remember the servants and boys in the system's cave that he saw when he first got the system?" Ghost said.

"Well, I have a little impression." Of course Jiu Jie remembered that there were two Taoist boys, a man and a woman, saluting to his thoughts at that time.

"Those are the servants and dao boys born in the system, and the dao boys in the system are also transformed from servants after the marrow washing in the marrow washing pool."

Gui Lao waved his right hand, and a picture floated in the system space.

In the picture, there are hundreds of servants standing densely and neatly around the marrow washing pool.

The gray matter in the marrow washing pool churned and emitted gray light, and the gray light became brighter and brighter, gradually shining and covering all the servants in the field.

After a long time, the gray light dissipated, the marrow washing pool returned to calm, and the gray matter stopped churning in the marrow washing pool.

While some of the hundreds of servants looked calm and some looked depressed, only one young man and one woman had joy and excitement on their faces.

A gray ray of light stayed above the heads of the youth and the woman.

The voice of the system resounded like the majesty of the sky, and the expressions of everyone in the field immediately became reverent and awe-inspiring.

"Servant Xiaofeng, he has successfully washed his marrow, and has super fire-type spiritual roots. From today onwards, he will be the host Taoist boy."

"The servant smiled, the marrow was washed successfully, and the gold-type middle-grade spiritual root, from today onwards, will be the host Taoist boy."

The clothes on the two young men and women with gray lights on their heads changed after the system sound sounded.

The young man is wearing a fiery red Taoist robe, and the woman is wearing a golden skirt.

Both of them had expressions of joy on their faces, and they both knelt down on one knee, looking up at the sky and swearing
"Follow the destiny and welcome the Lord. From now on, never disobey the Lord's order, never leave the Lord's presence, and swear to be loyal."

. . .

. . .

This is the end of the picture. After watching these pictures, Jiujie in the system space was shocked and also had many thoughts. He asked the ghost with his hands in his sleeves.

"Ghost, I want to ask you, are these system servants and Taoist boys real people?"

Jiu Jie's tone was a little unsure, because if so, the system would be a little weird.

First, the pet space full of vitality like a world that I have glimpsed.

The servants and Taoist boys I see now are clearly flesh and blood creatures full of emotions, or human race.

So what exactly is this system?
Gui Lao didn't shy away from Jiujie's question, but still answered in that calm tone.
"All servants and dao boys in the system are born from the system space, and in this space, they are also real creatures. Transformed into servants of dao boys, the host can choose to summon them to the host's world after the cave is opened, and they also Will truly exist in the host's world, and will always be loyal to the host."

Jiu Jie still had a feeling of fantasy after listening to these creatures called servants and Taoist boys.

They call the system the sky, and regard themselves as the master, no, it should be said that anyone who becomes the host of the system is the master.

The former one was the young man named Yuan Jianian, and now the host is himself, and maybe someone else after his death.

Jiu Jie continued to ask with an unbelievable tone

"Since they have their own thoughts and emotions, why are they willing to be slaves, or in other words, don't they want to rebel?"

"Because they were born in the system, and the system has no intention of forcing them, all their actions are voluntary." Gui Lao emphasized the word voluntary.

"How could someone be a slave voluntarily." Jiu Jie thought it was absurd.

"Because this is the mission of their birth. Becoming the host Taoist is the only way for them to escape from the mortal body. The host is their everything. These ideas have been deeply engraved into their souls and flesh since their birth. They They can have their own free thoughts, but before they do anything, they will consider for the host, in short, the host's life is paramount to them." The ghost replied, with a natural tone in his tone.

"Is this considered freedom?" Jiu Jie still couldn't understand.

"Host, your thoughts and thinking are different from the previous host." Gui Lao saw Jiu Jie's disapproval, and said
"But there is no absolute freedom in this world. Ordinary people cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death, monks cannot escape heaven's punishment and thunder, monsters are bound to the body, ghosts are confined to evil, and even you, the host, have many troubles and cannot be truly free?"

Jiujie was silent, raised his head for a long time and said

"But I don't like the feeling that their fate is in my hands. I hope everyone related to me can be free."

"Host, you are too naive. In the days to come, you will understand how naive your thoughts are. Also, Dao Tong is a rule of the system, which is beneficial and harmless to you as the host." Gui Lao's voice With impatience.

Although Jiu Jie still disagreed with Gui Lao's words, he couldn't say anything more.

He suddenly remembered the hidden function of the marrow washing pool that Gui Lao said.

Wouldn't Huang Tianci become my Taoist boy!
Jiujie hurriedly asked, "Ghost, the hidden function of the marrow washing pool you mentioned means that people who have washed their spiritual roots in the marrow washing pool will also become my Taoist boys? Then Huang Tianci..."

"Huang Tianci will also become the Taoist boy of the host. From now on, he will retain his own will, but the flesh and blood soul will always hide all the ideas that put the host first." Gui Lao replied.

"No, he is my friend, I want to stop the washing."

Jiu Jie was anxious, he was not even willing to enslave the Taoist boy, let alone let the friend he recognized become his Taoist boy.

Speaking of the Nine Precepts, he must control his physical body and stop helping Huang Tianci wash his marrow.

However, Gui Lao's words made him stop his movements.

"The marrow washing must be carried out from the beginning. Helping people from other worlds to wash the marrow, only success is not allowed to fail. If the host interrupts the marrow washing at this time, either the host's own soul will perish, or Huang Tianci will be wiped out by the system." Gui Lao's voice carried cold.

Is my soul dying?
Jiu Jie's body trembled, was he afraid of death?
Of course I am afraid, a person who thinks this world is beautiful is naturally extremely reluctant to leave this world.

But is it necessary to sacrifice the true freedom of your friends because you are afraid of death?

Even though Huang Tianci still has free consciousness as Gui Lao said, but something has quietly changed.

Even if Huang Tianci couldn't feel it, he would still regard the Nine Commandments as the master of the depths of his consciousness when he couldn't even feel it.

The imprint of the system will penetrate deeply into his flesh and soul, forever!

"I..." Jiu Jie felt that his voice was trembling.

I have three choices
One is to complete the marrow washing by himself, and Huang Tianci becomes his own Taoist boy without realizing it.

The second is to choose the demise of the soul, interrupt the washing of the marrow, and let Huang Tianci live freely, even if he is still a waste spirit root.

The third is to forcibly interrupt the marrow washing, and Huang Tianci was obliterated by the system.

If he didn't think he was smart enough to wash Huang Tianci's marrow without understanding everything, he wouldn't be like this.

Jiu Jie blamed himself in his heart, as if he had made up his mind, he said a word tremblingly
"I...I...I choose to let my soul die in exchange for the freedom given by Huang Tian"

Gui Lao was silent for a while, with surprise in his voice, he shook his head and said
"You are really a strange host, and also the stupidest host, but I don't want you to die, so this administrator rejects your choice. You can't choose to die with your soul. You only have two choices: Huang Tianci dies, or he dies." Be your Daoist."

"Ghost, I≧@×〃α@ぉ you——"

Jiu Jie looked angry, but his swear words were once again blocked by Gui Lao.

In the end, Jiu Jie sat down weakly, and said in a low voice
"You are right, I am indeed not free."

This is the time that Jiu Jie hated ghosts the most since he got the system.

He would not let Huang Tianci die, so he could only choose to make Huang Tianci his Taoist boy.

After the choice, no matter whether you are voluntary or forced by the ghost.

Jiu Jie knew that he had changed, since he made this decision, he began to be changed.

Whether he is willing or not, his mentality and ideas have quietly changed.

Gui Lao intentionally or unintentionally wants to change Jiu Jie's heart.

"I will do whatever it takes to help my friend regain his freedom, even if the chains that bind him are in my hands."

What even Gui Lao didn't realize was that Jiu Jie was already blaming himself like crazy.

Even if he has quietly become able to ignore the freedom of strangers and even system servants and Taoist boys.

He has also silently decided to use his own means to erase the so-called rules of the system.

In Jiujie's eyes, the system is just an artifact that he doesn't understand, and the ghost is just the spirit of the artifact.

A mere weapon, my Nine Precepts will never admit defeat.

Ghost, wait for me!

When I achieve great success in the Daoyuan of the Three Lives, when I master the so-called ultimate avenue, the rules of the system, I will also step on it!
