Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 36: Being in the Show

When he got to Ye Ling’s small room, he saw Ye Ling lying on the floor at a glance. Her small body seemed to be smoking. She was still holding a small piece of wood in her little hand, which was also scorched at this time. There was a big hole in the roof. The edge of the hole was covered with burnt ash. It could be seen that the black air that went up to the sky just now was indeed emanating from Ye Ling.

Her clothes were also tattered, revealing her delicate and fair skin that was also covered with ashes. The strange thing was that her wings seemed to have become smaller like a child wearing a little devil costume, looking very cute.

Qin Yi quickly stepped forward, looked left and right and saw a coat beside the bed, grabbed it and wrapped it up for Ye Ling, and helped her up.

Seeing that it was Qin Yi, Ye Ling whimpered, “It hurts…”

“What hapenned? You got struck by lightning?”

“I don’t know…” Ye Ling was very confused, “It’s as if a fire burned out from my heart. It was scorched with a boom…”

Qin Yi was very speechless. It might be useless to ask this stupid snake, so he asked Liu Su.

Sure enough, he heard Liu Su say, “The Seven Stars Array breaks the darkness, ignites the beastkin flame, and returns the beastkin aura to heaven. It is very effective against those little beastkins whose instincts and murderous intentions are still uncontrollable. This stupid snake is not bad. She actually survives. If there are other little beastkins hiding in Li Fire City, they are probably dead.”

Qin Yi guessed so as well. It was probably the reason why Ming He didn’t continue to entangle with him. Perhaps after losing the connection with the mahogany sword, she judged that Qin Yi had colluded with the beastkin, so she no longer relied on his cooperation. Instead, she decided to set up a large array to kill all the beastkins in the entire Li Fire City.

Simple, rude, and straightforward.

Ming He’s eyes appeared in his heart, calm and far away, like the Milky Way hanging in the night sky.

Qin Yi sighed slightly. He glanced at the burnt wood in Ye Ling’s hand, “Then what is it? I thought you accidentally triggered something.”

“This is ordinary wood…” Ye Ling choked up, “I just wanted to carve a little monkey and give it to you… I have been listening to your stories and taking your medicine, but I can’t give you anything…”

Qin Yi was startled. He looked at the burnt wood silently.

Originally, he felt a bit of resentment of her ruining his plan, but now it had dissipated without a trace.

“Stupid snake…”

“You’re stupid!” Ye Ling struggled to get up, “Am I exposed? I’m going to run away. Thank you these days…”

After speaking, she turned into a black light and went straight to the hole in the roof.

The next moment, she fell to the ground with a thud and looked up with fear.

Qin Yi was also looking up at the hole. Ming He was hovering above quietly and looking down. contemporary romance

Qin Yi knew that a fight was inevitable, so he simply raised his voice, “Since Taoist Ming He is here, why don’t you come in and talk about it?”

Ming He descended slowly. Her taoist robes fluttered in the wind, looking really like a fairy descending to earth.

In fact, to mortals, an authentic immortal cultivator like her was indeed a fairy.

Ye Ling crawled half a circle on the ground in terror and hid behind Qin Yi. Qin Yi also stood in front of her. He looked straight at Ming He and said, “A person like a taoist fairy should be traveling around the world and enjoying life. Why did you become involved in mundane power struggles and work as a hitman?”

Ming He shook her head slightly, “The power struggle in the mortal world has nothing to do with me. However, the beastkin kills people, and I have to take care of it.”

Qin Yi said, “To be honest, beastkin killing people has nothing to do with you. After reaching your realm, don’t you know that all living beings are equal? ??From your point of view, is there a difference between beastkin killing people and people killing people?”

“There is.” Ming He said lightly, “Mister’s words sound reasonable. Thousands of years ago, there were people who upheld such remarks. However, the consequences were that the beastkins ran rampant in the world, feeding on humans wantonly. This almost turned the entire world into a wasteland. This already goes against the will of heaven. Even if you stay away from the mortal world and pretend not to see it, the breastkins will eventually seize your spiritual mountain and invade your cave house. This is what we call ‘Those who are not of our race have different hearts.'”

“…” Qin Yi couldn’t refute.

He initially thought that this taoist nun had an impure heart, but in fact, what she was thinking from a completely different level.

Ming He said again, “You and I are cultivators. If we only seek immortality, then we can stay behind closed-door, refine elixirs for ourselves and meditate on our own. But we learn the flying sword technique, the five thunder technique, and the killing array, what are those for? It is not for fighting each other, but to subdue and eliminate the beastkins and demons and to protect the world. It is precisely because beastkins and demons dare not run rampant that the world is thriving today and mister can enjoy the prosperity. Speaking in favor of the beastkins is truly a foolish act.”

As she spoke, she looked behind Qin Yi where Ye Ling was nervously tugging on Qin Yi’s clothes to peek at her.

“I have said what I wanted to say. Does Mr. Qin insist on protecting this beastkin?”

Qin Yi could only say, “Can’t there be a good beastkin? If a harmless little rabbit is accidentally enlightened, you also say that it is not the same race as us, so you want to kill it to eliminate a potential threat?”

“I’m of course not an unreasonable person, but did this beastkin never hurt anyone?” Ming He said indifferently, “Who killed the crown prince? You don’t have to argue. You can fool the others, but not me.”

Qin Yi couldn’t really refute her, because after coming out of the mountain, the beastkins he saw really ate people. The determination of eliminating beastkins and defending Tao of her is really not wrong. There may be good beastkins, but Ye Ling did assassinate the crown prince. It was equal to killing people in front of Ming He, how could she be innocent?

Instead, I look more like the one who is bewitched by the beastkin.

But… If you want me to say ‘you are right, kill this girl then’, I can’t do it.

Looking at the charred wood on the ground, Qin Yi knew he couldn’t do it.

At this time, Liu Su took the risk and transmitted a voice, “There is a change in Ye Ling. I suspect that she has lost her beastkin aura at the moment, so Ming He talks so much. Otherwise, she should have already killed her under the guidance of beastkin aura.”

Qin Yi’s heart moved. This is easy. Who doesn’t know how to be shameless? He said, “Who says she is a beastkin? Taoist must prove it with evidence.”

Ming He frowned.

Liu Su got the point. Ming He had been sensing Ye Ling since she entered the courtyard, but she found that the beastkin aura on Ye Ling was so weak that she could hardly feel it. It was completely different from the fierce and slightly murderous aura when the crown prince was assassinated.

Judging from the previous aura, there should be a snake beastkin in this mansion; it seemed to be a flying serpent.

Flying Serpent was cunning and murderous. This kind of beastkin aura was different from the genus of vegetation, which was easy to distinguish.

She took a serious look at Ye Ling. Ye Ling was wrapped in a coat, her small face was blackened by the smoke, and her big eyes look at Ming He in horror, looking pitiful. Not only her beastkin aura was very thin, but the killing intent could no longer be sensed.

She made a vow when she came out of the mountain to only kill beastkin and not hurt anyone, so she would also worry if she made a mistake and accidentally broke the vow. That was why she talked so much with Qin Yi. Otherwise, she would have attacked long ago.

“Although beastkin aura is thin on her, she still has it. If she isn’t beastkin, what is she?”

Qin Yi said, “Her name is Zhou Dongdong, a stupid child.”

Ming He, “…”

Qin Yi knew that Ming He wasn’t fooled by him, but she was just being cautious. He continued to explain, “Taoist, this matter is a bit complicated. It’s not as black and white as you imagined. How about this? There must be a good show in front of the mansion now. You can decide what to do after watching this good show.”

Ming He stared at him for a long while, then she slowly said, “Does mister know that my vow to not hurt people doesn’t apply to everyone?”

Probably, if someone tries to harm or deceive you, you can kill right? Qin Yi said indifferently, “If I’m not mistaken, the Taoist comes to the mortal world for the purpose of seeking Tao. To put it bluntly, it is just to watch the show. It’s meaningless to just focus on killing beastkins…”

Ming He’s heart was slightly moved by these words. She looked into Qin Yi’s eyes, seeing a clear gaze in those eyes.

She suddenly smiled slightly, “Watching the show… mister too?”

“Me?” Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment. He pondered for a moment and sighed, “I was before, but now I’m already in the show.”

TL: Will Ming He get the answer in the show in front of the mansion?
