My brother is so cunning.

"I don't think we should do this either!"

Before Wen Rui responded to Princess Long Ji's question, Nezha put down the Ruyi Immortal Soldier jade tablet and stood up to speak.

"Sister Long Ji is right. How can we use mortal souls as a shield to hide our identities and not care about the lives of innocent mortals in order to fulfill the Jade Emperor's will?"

The handsome young man looked upright and spoke righteously with his hands on his hips: "Back then, I was young and ignorant, causing the people of Chentangguan to become homeless. Now I don't want to make the same mistake again and watch innocent people die in vain in front of me."

Wen Rui still had an indifferent look on his face, shrugged and said: "Then according to your opinion, should we knock on the door simply and roughly to defeat the Peng Demon King? Or should you two have a halo of pig feet and be able to escape with your mouth? The Peng Demon King abandoned the darkness and turned to the light?"

"You're so naive, you don't know how high the sky is!"

Wen Rui said without mercy: "What an arrogant person I am. When I formed the Demon Alliance, I didn't dare to face the demon kings of Xiniu Hezhou. Many of those monsters were former disciples of the Jie Jiao, or were extremely powerful among the Jie Jiao. They are even more afraid of the powerful Western teachers standing behind them."

"Just the two of you, two against one, are no match for the Peng Demon King. Moreover, the Peng Demon King can always recruit powerful helpers such as the Lion Demon King and the Elephant Demon King. It is absolutely impossible to achieve a last-minute reversal with a bloody explosion." Performed.”

Long Ji and Nezha looked at each other and said: "In any case, as gods who are worshiped by all people, we have things to do and things we don't do. If we don't give it a try, why don't we know it won't work?"

Nezha also said: "I never took it seriously before. I didn't want to encourage you. I just wanted to do errands. This time I show my true skills. Even if it's to save the lives of all the people, I just have to fight hard. Why? Can’t win?”

Wen Rui tried his best to suppress the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and still sneered with a straight face, saying: "You are very energetic and have a sense of justice. It's a pity that kindness cannot be eaten. In reality, justice may not defeat evil. If you want to defeat evil, you have to Worse than the evil ones.”

He said meaningfully: "What's more, in the eyes of gods, Buddhas and saints, there should be no distinction between good and evil, and human life is just a number. You are still too naive and your Taoism is too shallow."

"I don't understand what you are talking about, but if it doesn't work, it won't work!" Long Ji stood in front of Wen Rui with a determined expression: "If you go to kill people randomly, I will do my best to stop you!"

Nezha actually stood beside her, also in a tense posture, as if he was about to take action if she disagreed.

"Huh, it's not my own business. It's like I'm the only bad guy!"

Wen Rui pouted and said, "Don't forget that we are working for the Jade Emperor. You want to rescue your sisters, but you still stop me?"

"Your Majesty and Queen Mother will not allow you to do this!" Princess Longji frowned and said: "My seven sisters are the most innocent and kind-hearted. If I knew that to save them, thousands of lives would be sacrificed in vain, I would rather suffer."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Wen Rui said in a sarcastic tone: "Taibai Jinxing, the team currently has disagreements and is at a deadlock. What do you think?"

Taibai Jinxing looked embarrassed: "Mr. Wen, is there really no other way?"

"What do you think?" Wen Rui's sarcasm became even stronger: "You know more about the inside story than they do, and you know the details of those demon kings in Hezhou, Xiniu. Don't you also think that we are on the side of justice, and your blood is boiling, and you are shouting two things? With just one slogan, all the difficult problems will be solved, right?”

Taibai Jinxing tried to persuade: "Your Royal Highness, the Third Prince, follow the authority when urgent matters arise. Appropriate sacrifices are also based on the overall situation..."

"Then why don't you sacrifice?" Princess Long Ji was stubborn and immediately scolded: "Wouldn't it be better to use your soul as a certificate of surrender?"

"Your Highness, the Yu Tao King we are pretending to be is the Great Sage to Exorcise Gods, not the Great Sage to Kill Gods. That monster monkey does not have the ability or courage to kill gods. It would be too much to take the spirit of the old minister."

Taibai Jinxing explained the truth patiently: "Wen Dijun's plan is the most reasonable and reasonable. As a vicious great sage of the monster race, if there is no ghost of the wronged soul of the race, he can tell at a glance that it is a fake and capture the souls of all people. It’s the best way to disguise.”

"I've seen it clearly. You two are the same. You will dye your path to immortal officialdom red with the blood of the common people, and step on the bones of all living beings to climb to the divine level!"

Princess Long Ji was furious and took out the Yaochi White Light Sword with a shake of her hand. She raised the sword with one hand and pointed at Wen Rui and Taibai Jinxing.

"This is going to be difficult. Before we even set off for the expedition, the team started fighting among themselves."

Wen Rui pretended to be helpless, spread his hands and said: "Li Xianguan, you are the staff sent by the Jade Emperor. It is your duty to mediate and report in a timely manner. In this stalemate situation, I still need you to go to the Lingxiao Palace. , report the current problem to the Jade Emperor truthfully, and ask him to issue an order. Otherwise, the investigation work will have to be put on hold indefinitely. I will wait for your news at the branch of the Chamber of Commerce in the city, and I will take action when there are results. "

After saying that, Wen Rui used the great magical power of Shuchi, abandoned the three immortals, and disappeared in front of them.

Taibaijin Xingxu pushed her hands and comforted Princess Longji: "Don't be upset, your highness. I will rush back to heaven immediately and ask the Jade Emperor to issue an order. If your majesty vetoes Emperor Wen's plan, we will not sacrifice mortals."

Princess Longji slowly put down her sword, but her face was still clouded with worry, and her worry had not gone away.

She had a strange premonition. She clearly believed that sacrificing innocent people was wrong, but the real big shots might not think so. Right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong were far more complicated than she imagined.

Although Nezha was young, he was not stupid. Seeing Princess Longji worried, he could not help but say, "Sister, His Majesty the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, they will not sit idly by and watch Wen Rui take human lives like this, right?"

"It's hard to say..."

Longji sighed, and his thoughts could not help but fly back to five hundred years ago.

Wen Rui was really right. She was not liked by her parents. She was always criticized for her shallow Taoism and blunt temperament. She was demoted to the mortal world just because she lost etiquette at the Peach Banquet.

In order to return to heaven and win the love of her parents again, she was involved in the Conferred God Tribulation, and married Hong Jin, the defeated general, according to her parents' orders and matchmaker's words.

The result...

Although she returned to heaven, nothing seemed to have changed. She understood her parents' thoughts less and less.

Father, Queen Mother and Queen Mother did not even want her to stay by their side to fulfill her filial piety, and arranged her in the Dou Mansion of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother instead of recalling her to the Yaochi Rui Palace.

Princess Longji watched Taibai Jinxing flying up on the clouds to the holy land of the Heavenly Palace, and she became more and more worried and panicked.

In a vague way, Longji seemed to have an epiphany, and a thought that she didn't want to believe arose in her heart - perhaps the real reason why her parents didn't like her was her extra compassion for mortals.

Do gods really love the world?

Or is Wen Rui, who uses the lives of thousands of people as tools, the ideal deity in the eyes of gods and saints?
