Chapter 854 Leaving the Inner World
As the evil spirit disappeared, Shen Xueqi did not wake up. Mo Cheng could even sense that there was some kind of power at work, causing Shen Xueqi to fall into a deeper level of memory.
"As expected, the evil spirit is just the transformation of past nightmares. As long as we can't get out of the past nightmares, this dream will not stop."
Mo Cheng sighed. He didn't know what Shen Xueqi had experienced, but with her cold personality, and Master Wang Han once said that Shen Xueqi followed her to the mountains to practice when she was young, plus her lonely and calamity fate...
From various clues, it can be inferred that it must not be a good memory.
It’s a pity that Mo Cheng doesn’t have many solutions to this situation.
Even though his own mental martial arts is called [Zen], it is actually [the confluence of the three religions], but the doctrines filled into it have never been the principles of saving the people.
It was too difficult for Mo Cheng to help Shen Xueqi gain enlightenment and get out of her past nightmare .
Even now, he hasn't come up with a specific solution.
At this time, Shen Xueqi's unconscious body began to turn into points of light and dissipated. Mo Cheng knew that his inner world was about to evolve again. As long as Shen Xueqi could not withstand the break, this place would be a sea of suffering, and she would sink in it forever.
He sighed again. Although he felt that he could escape from Shen Xueqi's dream by turning around, Mo Cheng had no intention of looking back.
"I know that missions are never easy."
Having said this, Mo Cheng took a step forward and walked towards the boundless sea of suffering ahead.
The world was spinning for a while, and when Mo Cheng came to his senses, the surrounding environment had changed drastically.
All the damaged parts of his body were restored, but his appearance looked more like that of the Great Killer Monk, rather than Mo Cheng. Maybe it was because he had just tricked the evil spirit into his body to kill it.
He was wearing tight clothes, had short hair, and a red dot between his eyebrows, but his body still looked like he was eight or nine years old.
But only the appearance had changed. Mo Cheng sensed it and found that his physical strength was only at the level of an ordinary person.
Mo Cheng walked straight forward and entered a village, but there were not many people in the village.
Then Mo Cheng heard some noise and walked towards the source of the noise. He saw many villagers gathered together, holding torches in broad daylight, and no one knew what they were going to do.
"The witch brings disaster, and the calamity is ominous. The blazing holy flame will destroy all evil!"
Mo Cheng climbed up to the roof next to him in a few steps, passed the obstruction of many adults, and saw a wooden frame standing on the high platform surrounded by people. The bottom was full of firewood, and there was a person tied to the wooden frame.
It’s Shen Xueqi!
Before Mo Cheng could figure out the truth of the matter, he heard a shout of "fire" and the torch was accurately thrown into the firewood pile. The firewood pile had already been soaked in grease and was burning fiercely in an instant.
There was no time to understand the cause of the incident. Mo Cheng simply picked up a bamboo pole beside him and jumped into the center of the crowd.
Although this body only has the strength of an eight or nine-year-old, thanks to Mo Cheng's experience, the strength he exerts is not only the same as that of an ordinary person, but is even a few points higher.
"stop!"
With a loud shout, the object in his hand was used as a long stick, and the burning firewood was picked up and flew accurately into an uncovered water tank.
Mo Cheng's sudden appearance attracted everyone's attention, which made him clench his weapon tightly. If the whole village attacked him...
The situation will be very troublesome.
If the villagers had no evil powers, it would be a massacre for Mo Cheng.
If these villagers all have evil powers, then Mo Cheng must think about how to take Shen Xueqi away from this place.
"Who are you and why are you disturbing us?!"
The village chief came out from the crowd with a cane. Only then did he realize that the one who tried to stop them was actually a monk. "Where is the young master practicing?"
"I am very compassionate." Mo Cheng did not waste time talking about his identity. Seeing that the other party was not as uncommunicative as the evil spirit, he directly asked the reason, "May I ask what crime this woman committed? Why does she need to be burned at the stake?"
Speaking of Shen Xueqi, the village chief was very excited, "She is an ominous person, she is a witch, she deserves to die!"
Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes, holding a stick in one hand and standing up with one palm, "Amitabha, can you explain it in detail. What is unknown, and what is a witch?"
"Outsiders shouldn't interfere in the affairs of this village!"
Seeing that the village chief didn't seem to be planning to give an explanation, Mo Cheng's smile grew thicker. "Old man, it's not that I want to meddle in other people's business, but I think you are over 200 years old. Executing someone with such a capital punishment without giving an explanation will probably shorten your life."
As he spoke, he slightly adjusted the amplitude of the long stick in his hand, "Shortening my life is nothing, I am just afraid that after I die, I will fall into the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborn."
While threatening, Mo Cheng also gave the other party a way out, "If the crime is really unforgivable, why torture him by burning at the stake? Please explain the reason clearly, sir."
It was unknown whether it was because of Mo Cheng's identity as a monk, or whether the village chief really had a clear conscience about this matter. The village chief pointed directly at Shen Xueqi who was tied to the wooden frame and said, "This girl is a lonely and robbed person. Her fate is unknown. Both her parents were killed by her fate and suffered from the evil spirits. Her family members were also trapped in disaster. The lonely and robbed person can easily hurt people around them. If we keep her, how can we guarantee the lives of hundreds of people in the village?!"
One cannot accuse this approach of being completely wrong, because the fate of Gu Chen Jie Sha will really work and has the corresponding power.
Mo Cheng sighed. He couldn't blame the villagers for their choice to survive, but he also couldn't let Shen Xueqi be burned at the stake like that.
"Does she have to be burned to death? The destruction of her family at such a young age is already a tragedy, and letting her die in flames is even more..."
Mo Cheng couldn't find any better words to describe it, so he just shook his head.
While shaking his head, his hand had already clenched the long stick, waiting for the negotiation to break down so that he could break out of the encirclement with Shen Xueqi.
"Master wants to save people, but there are ways." The village chief sneered, perhaps because he was angry at Mo Cheng for interfering with the burning or because of the threats he made earlier. "The Lonely Star Robbery Fiend can easily hurt people around her. Her parents are both dead and her family is deserted. That's why we are afraid of being hurt by the Lonely Star Robbery Fiend."
"As long as the young master is willing to be by the side of that Guchen Jiesha, we can take her away and there is no need for us to burn her at the stake."
"But little master, you have to think carefully. If you are affected by the evil spirit of loneliness, all your cultivation will be ruined, and it will be difficult for you to understand the essence of Buddhism. Besides, can a Buddhist disciple talk about marriage? And can he love people?"
Mo Cheng did not answer but glanced around. Although he had not asked the question yet, he knew the answer from the expressions of the crowd.
"Since you are all unwilling, then I am willing."
As he said that, he walked straight to the wooden frame, untied the rope, and carried the almost unconscious Shen Xueqi, step by step away from the crowd.
People seemed reluctant to let Shen Xueqi leave, but they did not try to stop her.
"Where is your home?"
"To the east, Shen's Mansion..."
She looked at Mo Cheng with cold eyes, and it was unknown what thoughts flashed through her eyes. At the same time, after Shen Xueqi told her where she lived, the scene in front of her changed again.
The world changed again, but Mo Cheng could feel that he and Shen Xueqi were leaving this world.
When he came back to his senses, he was sitting next to Shen Xueqi, and he could hear the words of the Six Thieves not far away.
"Brother, that scholar really brought the witch out of Taixu!"
