The Emperor of Heaven stared at him for a long time, finally let out a long sigh, stepped down from the top, and gently pressed his palm on Xie Qiushi's shoulder.

Xie Qiushi slid down on the stool like a ball being pushed down on the ground, deflated, rolled his eyes, and looked up at Qin Lingche.

Qin Lingche squatted down, looked at Taoyuan Jun as they did when they first met, bent his fingers and lightly tapped Xie Qiushi's head: "I won't want you, but I will ask others to do these things."

Xie Qiushi blinked his eyes: "Is there any difference between others doing it and me doing it?"

"You are asking knowingly." The Emperor of Heaven smiled, "They are not as good as you, and they are not as reliable as you. I don't believe them."

Xie Qiushi didn't speak, his eyes lit up slightly, and then quickly dimmed again.

The Emperor of Heaven gently and persuasively said: "They are not as good at kung fu as you, and they are easily killed by ghosts. They are also not as good as you. If they go astray, I have to ask someone to kill them. Such a loss of troops and generals will not benefit me. It's not good for Heaven...do you understand?"

"Understood." Xie Qiushi obediently responded, and grunted in his throat, "Even so, do you still have to kill ghosts?"

"I want every life in the Ghost Dao to be punished." Qin Lingche stood up straight slowly, speaking softly but firmly, "Whether good or evil, right or wrong, the guilty are innocent."

"Why?" Xie Qiushi asked subconsciously, and as soon as he uttered it, he knew that his question was wrong again.

Qin Lingche did not refute as usual: "Since you really want to know, I will tell you."

At the end of the speech, the emperor ordered the little boy to close the doors and windows, cover the gauze curtains, and bring a piece of fairy tea and a refreshment. Seeing that Xie Qiushi had used it, he said slowly: "When you killed Linyao, I told you that the life The soul tree never dies, and the ghost realm never dies."

Xie Qiushi scratched his head, apparently he had forgotten all about it.

"The Tree of Living Soul is similar to the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation saves mortals from becoming immortals, and the Tree of Living Souls helps living beings to fall into ghosts." The Emperor of Heaven recounted tirelessly, "Mortal people and animals are trapped in mortal bodies and are bound by the number of life spans. If you want to live forever and achieve Taoism, you have to follow these two paths: go through a catastrophe and become a fairy, or live a soul and become a ghost."

"I seem to have heard it before." Xie Qiushi's eyes wandered, and he seemed to be distracted.

The Emperor of Heaven smiled helplessly: "These two methods themselves are just two paths for mortals to transcend the body. Originally, there is no distinction between good and evil, but in the end, they always become immortals with great goodness and power, and become ghosts with great treachery. There is a saying that one can become a ghost, at best, by becoming an immortal. Why do you think this is?"

Before Xie Qiushi could respond, he had already answered himself: "Because if you restrain yourself, you can be free from evil and become immortals. But those who indulge in lust, greedy people, and people who want to live forever, they only need to go to the After passing the sky fire, one can cultivate into a ghost."

"Although I'm too lazy to pay attention to other people, I also know that indulging in one's sexual desires may not necessarily harm others." Xie Qiushi interrupted suddenly, "Zhuoquan Yinghe hates and fears me, because I hurt the innocent and don't ask for guilt. You are not a stone, you Order me to do this, order me to kill innocent people indiscriminately, won't you feel disgusted like Zhuoquan and Yinghe?"

"I have a clear conscience, why bother?" Qin Lingche raised his eyebrows, "I want to kill ghosts and leave no one alive, never because they invaded the heavens and harmed the people, nor because their crimes are unforgivable and there is no reason to die. "

Xie Qiushi was stunned: "Why is that?"

Qin Lingche pursed his lips lightly, and for a short moment, he showed a rare look of contempt, as if what he did was a matter of course, but soon turned into a cold smile: "I want to stop the road of the tree of life .”

Xie Qiushi said "ah", and his expression suddenly went blank.

"Qiushi, I sit here in Ziwei Palace, and I never consider whether a person deserves to be punished, or whether a matter is fair. Some of me are generals and officials, and some are people who consider these things for me." The Heavenly Emperor looked at With his pale face, his voice calmed down again, "What I care about is whether the world can reward the good and punish the prostitution, and eliminate the violence. I hope that the order of the world can make the laborers eat and the thieves suffer—if this There is a shortcut in the world, you are greedy, you indulge in lust, you are self-willed and reckless, you never reflect on yourself, and you are expected to ascend to the Tao, so what order can there be, what morality can there be?"

"But even if you kill all the ghosts, as long as the Tree of Life is still there, there will still be people who will go on this road." Xie Qiushi said in a daze, "Could it be that as long as one person cultivates the way of ghosts, you will kill him."

Qin Lingche closed the tea lid, and said calmly: "The world is not benevolent, I can't destroy the tree of living souls, so I can only turn the ghost path into a dead end. Since it is a dead end, fewer people will walk."

Xie Qiushi's ears twitched, as if he didn't hear the second half of the sentence, he only caught the first half and asked, "Can't you destroy the Living Soul Tree?"

Qin Lingche chuckled: "It can't be destroyed, but I know that this tree of living souls has a life acupoint, which is in the center of the trunk. Close relatives never come across such a private place. As time passed, I gradually gave up the idea of ​​destroying it. If you have any ideas, you can..."

Xie Qiushi interrupted abruptly: "I know who the Tree of Life is."

"Huh?" Qin Lingche looked at him with great interest, "You are so smart, so you should have known earlier."

"You and I chatter so much," Xie Qiushi stood up, pacing back and forth like an ant, and his voice became hurried, "Qin Lingche, I'm not a fool, I can tell that you want me to kill you!" Kill him! You want me to kill him!"

"I have no such intention." The Emperor of Heaven showed a pitiful expression, "Qiu Shi, if you care, I will never let you hurt someone you value. If you tell me that you don't want to kill ghosts for me anymore, I won't either." I will force you to deal with the matter of Taoyuanjin tomorrow, and I can dispatch troops and ask Zhou Yingxin to take people to deal with it properly."

Xie Qiushi stopped and turned to look at him: "You said that only I can do this well."

Qin Lingche shook the teacup, but did not deny it.

"If I don't do things that only I can do well, and watch the trash all over the street pull each other's chicken feathers, it will be so boring!" Xie Qiushi said bitterly, he stopped looking at Qin Lingche, turned around and went to pull The door of the compartment.

"Xie Qiushi." Before he pushed open the door, Qin Lingche suddenly said quietly, "If someone regards you as a treasure, they will not hesitate to die for you."

Xie Qiushi paused.

Qin Lingche continued: "If he is unwilling to die for you, then he may not be as special to you as you think—what do you think?"

As he spoke, he flicked his hem, got up leisurely, walked forward slowly, thanked Qiushi first and opened the window screen in one step, and then pushed open the window pane.

I saw a round of sharp moon scars tattooed on the horizon, Yan Xiao was covered in night, like a straight pine tree, standing quietly outside.
