Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 285 Begging for mercy

"Do you really believe that Duan Jiashu is sincere?" Song Wen couldn't help but ask.

Lu Wensheng glanced at him and said, "You don't believe him, but I do."

For some reason, the dark history of being beaten with a stick suddenly came to his mind. Song Wen shut up and said: Look at my broken mouth, why couldn't I hold it back?

Trust the people you employ. Even though Duan Jiashu did not do anything, he is such a useful worker. Those demon cultivators look down on him, but Lu Wensheng does.

Lu Wensheng was not stingy in giving his trust to Duan Jiashu. To him, trust was the cheapest thing and the easiest thing to deliver - he didn't wonder whether it was worth it.

Lu Wensheng thought that if he could make the other person feel something for a moment, it would be worth it.

In this world of intrigue and deception, trust is precious, and he doesn't want to be stingy with this beautiful thing.

People with strong and full hearts never mind sharing their beautiful emotions with others.

To most people, these words were like thunderclaps out of the blue, and the surrounding area suddenly became noisy.

"How can you say such outrageous words?!"

"This Taoist Master Shelu has killed countless demons and monsters. She hates evil as much as she hates evil. Aren't my disciples and she on the same page?"

“They’re not really colluding with the demons, are they? That’s just a show.” Someone with uneasy thoughts spoke up, and people who didn’t know Lu Wensheng immediately cast suspicious glances at him.

Tao Yin had a tense face and was forced to take sides, but he didn't know what to say. Seeing Jun Ning as calm as ever, he closed his eyes and decided to ignore it.

"Oh, what do you think?" The Supreme Elder spoke, and everyone naturally quieted down, with countless eyes focused on Lu Wensheng.

"Duan Jiashu was indeed a planted demon cultivator spy, but he did not do anything during this period. He was of a pure nature. Later, he was affected by his cultivation technique and his cultivation was wasted because he tried to leak information. He is now in the prison tower. I learned Shi Yubai's true identity from his words."

"What if I just showed it to you? It's just to move myself, but in fact it's just for survival." Lin Yanzhi questioned coldly.

"One should trust people when employing them. If he has done this and is still suspected, how desperate would he be? Judging by deeds, not hearts, no one is perfect. What is there to despise about seeking survival? Who doesn't want to live? This is not an unspeakable reason. How can one speculate on the good deeds in front of him because of that unknown mind?"

Lu Wensheng's answers were clear and his attitude was gentle, so Lin Yanzhi didn't say anything too harsh.

"There are countless people whose intentions were not to do so. If someone has good intentions but is forced to kill, and has blood on his hands, should we forgive him and give him a chance? Forgiving him would be unfair to the innocent."

"My disciple still says the same thing, judge by deeds, not by heart - if a person with a bad heart does many good deeds, then there is something in his heart. If his actions are good, he is still a good person. If a person with a good heart has a good heart, but his hands are stained with blood, he is still a bad person and needs to atone for his sins."

"A hypocrite is a hypocrite all his life, so isn't he a good person? He is nobler than most people who just watch from the sidelines."

Lin Yanzhi was slightly stunned, and the sharpness of his brows softened a lot, as if he was thinking.

Lu Wensheng looked around and said in a loud voice: "The difference between demon cultivators and ordinary cultivators is not that great. They just have different ways of cultivation, just like different paths.

Although the methods of demonic cultivation are different from ordinary ones, they cannot necessarily be generalized as evil. Those with perverse personalities and wanton killing should not be called demonic cultivation, but evil cultivation.

In this complicated world, what is Tao? Tao is the foundation of practice and guides the direction of progress. Ordinary practitioners follow the right path, take kindness as the basis, feel the righteousness of heaven and earth, and pursue inner peace.

The magic cultivators take a different approach, looking for the source of power in other directions. Although the road is bumpy, they still have their persistence and pursuit. The path of magic cultivators may be full of challenges and controversies, but it is undeniable that it is also a unique exploration of the Tao.

There is no absolute good or evil in Taoism; it only lies in the heart of the practitioner.

Although the paths of demon cultivators and ordinary cultivators are different, they may reach the same destination through different paths. We should not easily judge good and evil just because of the difference in cultivation methods. We should judge whether they are good or evil based on their actions rather than their paths. "

The young and open-minded cultivators think it makes sense. In the past, demon cultivators were not equated with evil ways. It was only later that many demon cultivators did evil things, and prejudices gradually emerged. How could it be fair that these prejudices were directed at those honest demon cultivators?

But there are also some people who are stubborn and sneer: "Heresy, devil cultivators, devil cultivators, aren't they just cultivators who are like demons, how can they be good or bad?"

Hao Min thought about the Supreme Elder saying that he was irresponsible, paused, and took the initiative to speak: "What do you think? I think that he is just a demon cultivator. Now that his identity is known, it's nothing."

Lin Yanzhi: "This is not just a matter of demon cultivators." It is about the attitude of the cultivation world towards demon cultivators in the future.

Shen Wenxin: "We fought them till the sky collapsed and the earth cracked today, and now you're just doing that?"

Gu Qinghe: "I can tell from the look of it that you didn't understand - they should be called evil cultivators, not to mention devil cultivators. They even implicate some good devil cultivators."

Tao Yin: "...Master Gu, do you really think so?" So you believed it?

Gu Qinghe looked puzzled: "Don't you know that? Don't you think so?"

Tao Yin: "I believe it, I believe it." He knows nothing!

Lin Yanzhi looked at Jun Ning: "Does Ah Ning know?"

Lin Yanzhi and Jun Ning are of the same generation and have a good relationship. Although she has some prejudices against demon cultivators, she is not unreasonable. She feels comfortable listening to Lu Wensheng's words.

If Jun Ning also agrees, the other party's disciple will probably be confident, and she won't embarrass the other party's direct disciple.

Jun Ning was very pleased to see Lu Wensheng, and frowned: "My disciple is stubborn and has been punished. I think it was planned for a long time, not just a one-sided opinion."

Those who knew the situation thought of how Jun Ning had punished Lu Wensheng before, and suddenly they understood - it turned out that Jun Ning had known about it for a long time and was waiting here.

The punishment was over, which showed that Jun Ning had acquiesced to Lu Wensheng's behavior, so it was even harder for others to say anything.

The most rigid one just snorted coldly: "You can make your own arrangements."

The other notoriously old-fashioned people didn't say anything either, which surprised everyone - logically speaking, they should have had the biggest reaction.

What others don’t know is that the opponent knows the opponent best. Although they can’t stand some cultivators not following the rules, they have no opinion on the character of Jun Ning and others. They are just discussing the matter at hand.

Since someone like Jun Ning could agree, there should be no problem, so there was no objection - they were targeting the matter, not individuals, let alone the group.

The teachings of the world of cultivation did not teach them to generalize.
