Chapter 419 Taoyuan Village (36)
Jun Li watched Li Gui grow stronger day by day, and he realized that Li Gui really didn't seem to have the slightest intention of eating the souls of living people.
Even though the days pass so quickly, in fact only half an hour has passed on the original timeline.
Jun Li watched as Li Gui really built his so-called small world step by step. Gradually, a large open space was reclaimed on the barren mountain and the weeds were cleared away.
In his own way, Li Gui, without revealing his original prototype, told those people who were living in hardship or suffering from illness and were not favored by God about his so-called paradise where their wishes could come true.
The barren mountain gradually became more lively, and the smell of fireworks became stronger because of the weirdness.
Li Gui later simply turned it into a small ancestral temple to listen to people's wishes, but the temple was bare and there were no statues of gods inside.
These days, Li Gui always finds some larger stones at night and carves his own stone statue at night.
Jun Li leaned aside and watched it quietly. It was busy like a top all day long. At night, it had to carve stone statues. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you tired? Do you really think you are their god?"
“I don’t know if I’m…”
Li Gui finished carving the face carefully and held the stone statue in front of Jun Li, shaking it and saying with a smile: "Fellow countryman, do you think my stone statue is good-looking?"
Jun Li was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Not like you at all."
"Hehe... I'm so ugly..."
Li Gui bit his cheek and looked at the statue and whispered: "I wish I could look like this..."
"Why don't you just use magic to create a stone statue instead of spending time and energy carving it yourself?"
Li Gui tightened his grip on the statue, scratched his head and whispered, "My fellow countryman... I'm not afraid of you making fun of me..."
"I just think... I also want to have a stone statue that truly belongs to me, just like those gods..."
"No matter how good the illusion is, it's fake... I want a real one..."
Jun Li sighed and stopped looking at it. Li Gui was still carving the stone statue. It was the first time that Jun Li saw it being serious and focused other than helping humans.
"Hey…"
Jun Li paused and suddenly said, "If those villagers worship you, you, as a Ligui, will not be able to absorb the power of faith."
"I know."
Li Gui didn't even look up and replied directly: "I don't need the power of faith. I'm not a real god."
"I just want to help those people and become their support and the God in their hearts..."
"As for the power of faith..."
Li Gui forced a smile and said, "That has nothing to do with an evil spirit like me. I can't absorb it."
Jun Li took a deep look at it and finally just murmured: "What if you absorb it one day..."
"Huh? What?"
"nothing…"
...
Li Gui became busier and busier, and he was always busy all day long. Those people wanted more and more, and after Li Gui satisfied their most basic needs of food and clothing, they finally began to have other material needs.
"God! I want a bigger and more beautiful house!"
“I want designer watches and bags!”
"I want money! I want lots of money!"
"I want…"
They want more and more things, which can no longer be satisfied by money alone.
Li Gui gradually began to feel overwhelmed, because it had never eaten a soul before, and those spirits alone could not meet people's needs.
Finally one day, the people who came to worship said: "It seems that it is not omnipotent. The last wish has not been fulfilled yet."
Li Gui, who was hiding in the dark, was stunned. The big house that person wanted had not yet been realized, but Li Gui simply did not have the ability to conjure up a big house...
The crowd began to have doubts, and the doubts became stronger and stronger...
In the dark, Li Gui stared with his eyes and clenched his fingers...
At night, Li Gui did not continue to refine the stone statue as he did in the past. For the first time, it lay on the ground in an extremely dejected and worried look, making its already ugly and twisted face even more hideous.
"My fellow countryman..."
Li Gui turned his head to look at Jun Li who was not far away. He opened his mouth and whispered: "I want to become stronger..."
"Become stronger and then what?"
Jun Li glanced coldly at the crowd still kneeling not far away: "After becoming stronger, will you satisfy their greed and let them continue to exploit you?"
"I am their god...I should fulfill their wishes..."
"You are not a god, you have no such obligation."
Li Gui's mouth twitched and he turned away in silence. Jun Li finally looked at him and said meaningfully, "Don't forget what you promised me."
“I haven’t forgotten…”
Li Gui panted heavily and suddenly felt a little sad, and grabbed the grass with his fingers: "If I don't fulfill their wishes, they will be disappointed."
"Is it possible that it's because you fed them too much that they have the time to think about these things?"
Jun Li sat on the ground and stared at its back: "When you are well fed and clothed, you will think about sex... Do you know?"
Li Gui remained silent. It was hesitating. Its gray-white pupils looked at the group of people who were devoured by desire. It hesitated when it heard them speak of more and more desires that were suffocating it.
"If I can't fulfill their wishes, will they be disappointed in me?"
Li Gui pursed his lips and looked at Jun Li cautiously. Jun Li frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "They have no right to be disappointed in you."
"If it weren't for you, they wouldn't even have three meals a day. You're not a god, you have no obligation to support them."
“But I want to be their god…”
"You are too weak to become the God in your heart. It is impossible to become a real God. There can be no God in this world."
Jun Li already had concerns in his heart. He was now extremely worried that Li Gui would repeat the same mistake. Li Gui was not a bad person at all. He could not become a false god because of those greedy humans and end up being destroyed...
"If you want to improve yourself, use the right methods."
Jun Li finally softened his heart. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Li Gui's head and said word by word: "Don't go down the crooked path. No matter who you are or what your wish is, you can't do anything that goes against the way of heaven."
"Um…"
Li Gui turned his gaze back to the ancestral hall. The people there had already gradually dispersed, leaving only a thin girl who kowtowed to the stone statue over and over again.
Jun Li had an impression of this girl. Her mother seemed to be the woman who needed to wear a hearing aid. However, she looked very weak, otherwise Li Gui would not have given her the medicine.
Drops of rain suddenly fell on Jun Li's face. Jun Li raised his eyes and gently stretched out his hand: "It's raining..."
The girl was still kneeling there, kowtowed to the statue over and over again, her voice hoarse and crying: "God... my mother is dying..."
"God... please... please save my mother..."
"please…"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, beating mercilessly on the girl's thin body. The girl's clothes were instantly soaked, and her body was still hunched and trembling slightly.
Li Gui was silent for a moment, then gently stretched out his hand to use his Gui Qi to block the rain for the girl, forming a small barrier.
The girl felt the barriers and looked at the statue in confusion and surprise: "Lord God! Are you listening to me?"
"Please...save my mother, please..."
Jun Li frowned slightly as he looked at the girl who kowtowed over and over again: "What disease did her mother have?"
Li Gui shook his head, sighed, and smiled bitterly: "Stomach cancer... cannot be cured..."
"My fellow countryman...I..."
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are all subject to fate."
Jun Li also used a spell to block the rain: "I don't want to attack you, but there is no place in the world without pain and suffering..."
"If they get sick, do you have to find ways to cure them? Can you handle it? Do you have the ability?"
Jun Li looked at Li Gui who had stopped talking and said with a little annoyance: "Even if you are lucky, they usually just get a little sick, and you can cure it."
"Then wait a few decades, and they reach old age and die. If they don't want to die at that time, and they are afraid of death, and they ask you to help them live longer...what will you do?"
The raindrops hit Li Gui's face, but he remained silent and stared at the girl who kept kowtowing.
"I remember you said at the beginning that you wanted them to live a life that others could live, because they had trouble getting three meals a day and couldn't go to the hospital when they were sick."
"You said they just didn't get to enjoy the things that normal people get to enjoy."
Jun Li looked at it with a bit of fatigue: "What they are enjoying now is not just what ordinary people can enjoy. If they really come to you to extend their lifespans because of birth, aging, illness and death, do you think it is fair to others?"
"Isn't your starting point fairness? You think others have what they don't, so you want to provide them with basic material life, but now they want what others don't have..."
“Do you think it’s fair to others?”
Jun Li was silent for a while and then spoke softly: "I have said that there is no absolute fairness in the world, and human desires cannot be satisfied at all."
"Besides, interfering with their normal life, aging, illness and death is against the will of heaven. You promised me not to do anything against the will of heaven!"
"My fellow countryman..."
Li Gui bit his lip, feeling reluctant and extremely conflicted as he looked at the girl who was still kneeling on the ground. His cloudy eyes were filled with painful struggle.
After a long while, it exhaled heavily: "Fellow countryman..."
"If I interfere with their birth, aging, illness and death... I'm violating the laws of nature. As a heavenly master, will you..."
"I will kill you without hesitation."
But I don’t want this...
Li Gui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jun Li's serious and cold face and then smiled gently.
"I wouldn't do such a thing..."
"It better be this way."
