Chapter 76 Vientiane (Part 1)
Destroying this mirage made Tang Jie's mood suddenly brighten.
He truly understood why many powerful people traveled the world and read all aspects of life. Just because this is not only experience, but also participation and change!
In the past, he felt that cultivation is cultivation, and everything is commonplace. If he gets too involved in the world, it will only make his own worldly taste too heavy, making it difficult to transcend. The people have been suffering for a long time, and it is not something he can change. Even if he can change it, it will only be temporary.
But now he knows that he was wrong. If he doesn't clear away the dust in the world, how can he clear away the haze in his heart?
This troubled world is actually a reflection of one's own heart. If you change the world, you will change yourself!
Understanding this truth, Tang Jie was filled with joy. He looked up to the sky and laughed three times. He rolled up a mirage bead left behind by the monster and flew into the air.
Xu Miaoran Yiyi didn't know why he was suddenly so happy, but she hadn't seen Tang Jie smile very often in the past few days. It was always a good thing to see him beaming with joy now. Seeing this, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. Also follow and fly away.
The three of them flew all the way, and after flying over the mountains, they came to a village.
Tang Jie frowned and said: "There is a bloody disaster here, and there must be monsters doing harm here. [Let's go and have a look."
With that said, he flew into the village.
He flew directly into the village, and the villagers shouted and kowtowed when they saw him.
Tang Jie didn't waste any time and asked directly if there were monsters doing evil here. The villagers all said so, but it turned out that it was a nearby mountain demon that often appeared and caused harm to the village. Tang Jie didn't say much after hearing this. He just called Tutu out and let him eliminate the demon by himself. After a while, the rabbit came back with a corpse in its mouth, which belonged to the mountain demon.
When the villagers saw it, they knelt down and worshiped. Tang Jie didn't care, he just relaxed his mind and blended into the world. When he did this, the endless sadness in the world made him want to commit suicide in pain. Although he still felt uncomfortable now, the haze in the sky seemed to have disappeared.
So Tang Jie knew that he had a long way to go.
From that day on, wherever Tang Jie went, he would pay close attention to his surroundings and would take action if there was any injustice.
He usually doesn't search for it deliberately, but just acts according to the guidance in his heart.
Whenever he comes to a place and feels resentment boiling over, he will take action to solve the root cause of the resentment.
This source includes raging monsters, evil cultivators, greedy officials, and local gentry. Anyway, no matter what the Tang Jie is, as long as it is the source of resentment, it will be eliminated.
But if it's not something that's going to happen, Tang Jie will ignore it. Tang Jie knew it well. No evil can be eradicated, and the method of eradication is a delusion. After all, what he can do is not save the world, but only save himself.
To cope with that sadness, to cope with that sorrow and joy, to cope with that pain, to cope with that confusion.
In the process, Tang Jie gradually came to understand himself and found various problems that he had never discovered before.
On this day, Tang Jie came to a river. Feeling his resentment, he knew that there was a water demon in the river who would eat boys and girls every year. The nearby villagers had no choice but to offer sacrifices every year
Now that he knew about such a thing, Tang Jie didn't say anything and ordered to kill him. Ri Yiyi fought with the water monster for half a day and finally got rid of the monster.
Unexpectedly, the resentment here not only did not go away, but actually grew even more.
At this time, even Tang Jie couldn't feel the reason, so he could only go to the village to inquire, and then he found out that before the water monster, this place had been harmed by other monsters, and its life was extremely miserable. On the contrary, after the water monster arrived, it drove away other monsters. Although a boy and a girl are paired up every year, they do the least harm compared to the previous monsters. Given the lesser of two evils, the villagers would rather stay with the water monster.
Now that this demon is dead, the demon that was driven away at the beginning is afraid that it will come back. The fear in my heart and the resentment will naturally increase.
After Tang Jie found out, he was also stunned and speechless, and said for a long time: "In that case, let's leave something for you."
As he spoke, a drop of blood flew out and blended into the nearby soil. The soil automatically turned into a statue.
"There is no harm in having this statue here." Tang Jie said and left. The statue was like a guard, guarding the river every day. Everyone regarded it as an ordinary clay sculpture. He ignored it and his resentment lingered for a long time.
Until one day, the villagers discovered that a huge toad corpse suddenly appeared on the river beach. They knew it was a monster, but they didn't understand why the monster died mysteriously, and they were all panic-stricken. It wasn't until someone discovered that there was a pool of blood on the hand holding the sword on the river statue that they all came to their senses.
Then a temple was built and the statue was invited back to the temple. From then on, there was no more monster trouble in the Hecun area.
Later generations thought it would be indecent to have a temple without a name, and they did not dare to give it a name without permission, so they burned incense and prayed every day. One day, the clay figurine said "Wanxiang", and from then on the temple was named Wanxiang. The Wanxiang God worshiped in the temple was much more majestic and domineering than the Xiaoyao Tianzun.
