Chapter 175 I may be young, but my old man is incredibly powerful!! (4000 words)
Of course, that's just talk.
However, Lu Yuan felt no guilt whatsoever.
Lu Yuan did nothing wrong in this matter.
As the orthodox Taoist master outside the Great Wall, this was something Lu Yuan had to do.
Therefore, even though Hu Tutu, a living human, stood on moral high ground to criticize Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan felt no remorse.
Even so, so what?
Is it because the paper tiger and rabbit need to live that they must keep the lamp burning for the evil god?
If the evil god continues to live, then the people outside the pass will suffer.
Therefore, Lu Yuan responded expressionlessly, "That is not a reason for you to continue the lamp of the evil god."
"Can't a deity that's on the verge of collapse be continued?"
"Just like the Flower Lady at Zhenlong Temple, she was still able to continue her lineage, wasn't she?"
"Why would they give a sequel to an evil god?!"
What are the consequences of continuing the lamp of an evil god?
"Don't you know?"
The fire crackled and popped.
The living tiger rabbit stared at the fire, and after listening to Lu Yuan's words, it remained silent.
The firelight cast flickering light on her face.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, "But how many women like Lady Hua are there in the entire area beyond the Great Wall?"
After saying that the living tiger rabbit finished speaking, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, the living tiger rabbit raised its head and looked at Lu Yuan in front of it seriously, saying, "Originally, there weren't many gods like those who were about to dissipate outside the pass."
"Besides, don't you know that even deities on the verge of collapse cannot have their lamps rekindled?"
After the living tiger rabbit finished speaking, Lu Yuan suddenly felt as if he had woken up from a dream.
Yes—that's right!
Lu Yuan had completely forgotten about this matter.
First of all, there are very few wild gods like those in Zhenlong Temple.
They were attracted by the goddess of beauty.
In the entire area outside the Great Wall, there are probably only a few dozen wild gods like that.
However, the continuation of the Denghu family line is not something that can be done by just any deity.
Among all the wild gods in Zhenlong Temple who are about to disperse, only Flower Goddess can continue their lineage.
But the other wild gods cannot—
This involves all sorts of messy things like believers, credentials, etc.
Because there are far too many proper gods, rules, and taboos.
If we follow the rules of the Xu Deng Hu family, those who can continue the lineage of wild spirits are probably few and far between, you could probably count them on one hand.
so----
The Xu Deng Hu family chose an evil god.
That is indeed a difficult problem.
What should we do then?
Lu Yuan thought about it for a moment, then became too lazy to think about it anymore.
Lu Yuan is neither the ruler of the world nor a weightlifting champion, carrying the world on his own shoulders.
Lu Yuan doesn't need to solve every troublesome problem.
As a member of the Taoist school, Lu Yuan naturally believed in the principle of following the natural way.
The paper tiger and rabbit were created by forcibly extending their lives, but they must never harm others' lives in order to extend their own.
Um----
What to do with the paper tiger rabbit is a matter for her father to worry about, not for Lu Yuan.
There's only one thing Lu Yuan needs to do: he can't just keep the lamp burning for the evil god.
only----
Lu Yuan shifted his gaze from the living tiger rabbit and turned to look behind the rock.
The paper tiger and rabbit figures squatted there, their backs to them.
The moonlight shone on her, and on her two crooked little buns.
She kept her head down, meticulously fixing the lamp. She took out a piece of yellow paper from her pocket, tore it into thin strips, and stuffed them one by one into the wick.
Insert one, and the light will turn a little brighter.
Her arms were exposed, and her sleeves had slipped down.
The moonlight shone on her arm, revealing the lines of the paper still visible, creeping from her wrist to her shoulder, one after another, like folded paper unfolding again.
She herself didn't know.
He didn't look down, he just stared at the lamp.
As Lu Yuan watched that figure recede into the distance, he suddenly remembered what she had just said.
"Master Daoist, what are you doing here!"
The sound was crisp and clear, exactly the same as that night at Zhenlong Temple.
She was delighted to see Lu Yuan.
Little did she know that Lu Yuan had come here to stop her.
She didn't know that Lu Yuan's sword strike had not only shattered the black mass, but also shattered ten years of her life.
Lu Yuan turned his gaze back to the fire.
The fire had shrunk, and the glowing embers flickered in the ash.
Lu Yuan has no regrets.
If he were to do it again, he would still seal off the energy, still shatter the shells, and still plunge his sword into the darkness.
Lu Yuan did the right thing.
That's how Taoist celestial masters should act.
Trying to relight the lamp for the evil god simply won't work.
There is no reason why.
Rules are rules.
The Way protects the common people, those who know nothing.
but----
Lu Yuan couldn't help but turn around and glance at that figure again.
The paper tiger and rabbit figures squatted there, with the moon above their heads, round and bright.
Her shadow was on the ground, short and small, huddled at her feet.
She knows nothing.
She didn't know she was a paper doll, didn't know that the lamp was her life, and didn't know that the past ten years were gone.
She squatted there fixing the light, very seriously.
But—Lu Yuan still felt somewhat uneasy—
Lu Yuan shook his head, let out a long breath, and then turned to look at the living tiger rabbit in front of him, changing the subject.
"I always feel like you two are a bit different."
To this, the living tiger rabbit rolled its eyes and said, "I'm a human, she's a paper doll, of course we're different!"
Lu Yuan grinned, then said, "That's not what I meant. I meant—"
Lu Yuan was naturally referring to the two people's personalities.
How to put it—
One of them was more naive, the other more worldly.
No, to be precise, the living tiger rabbit isn't exactly more worldly.
However, the paper tiger and rabbit figures are somewhat too naive and idealistic.
Although they are twins and grew up together, their personalities are completely different.
The living tiger rabbit glanced at Lu Yuan, then turned back to look at the campfire.
"She's never left the house."
Lu Yuan didn't speak.
"My father taught her how to keep the lamp burning, from morning till night, from the end of the year to the beginning of the year."
"After teaching her, let her stay in the room, draw lamp talismans, and practice hand seals."
"Apart from relighting the lamps, we don't let her do anything else."
"She doesn't go out; she just stays inside."
"She learns whatever her father teaches her, and she listens to whatever her father says."
"She only knows what's good because her father taught her."
After saying that, the living tiger rabbit picked up a branch from the ground, didn't throw it away, and held it in its hand.
"I'm different, I have to go out."
"If you need to find the gods scattered around, or if a family needs someone to perform a ritual, I'll go."
"The things I've seen, she's never seen before."
"The things I've been involved in, she hasn't."
"She didn't suffer any of the beatings, humiliation, or losses that I did."
The branch twirled in her hand.
"When her father taught her, he only said the nice things."
"When my father taught me, he told me to say whatever came to mind."
"She didn't know what it was like outside. She thought everyone in the world was a good person, that keeping the lamp lit was just work, and that the lamp itself was a lamp."
"If her father doesn't want her to know, then she won't know."
She threw the branches into the fire.
"that's all."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback.
Lu Yuan understood what the living tiger rabbit was saying.
This matter—
How to put it—
Lu Yuan could completely understand.
In fact, I have a deep understanding of this.
Well, let me put it another way.
Parents who teach their children are undoubtedly the best.
Or rather, teach the right way.
It's like your parents teaching you to be a good person, to know what's right and what's wrong.
Be sincere; do not lie or deceive others.
That's correct, isn't it?
After all, no loving, normal parent would teach their child to steal or lie, right?
But while they teach, sometimes parents can't always do what they say.
Lu Yuan remembered watching a video on Earth before he traveled there.
The blogger was emotionally devastated because her mother had been hit by a car while trying to stage an accident.
When the hat was found by the blogger, the blogger, after learning about his mother's situation, did not pursue the other party's responsibility.
Then her mother scolded her for siding with outsiders and bullying her.
What broke the blogger was—
When Mingming was little, her mother taught her to be honest.
And now, the matter before us—
Regardless of what kind of family Xu Denghu is, or what kind of person Tiger Rabbit's father is.
At the very least, when he was teaching Tiger Rabbit, he definitely treated her like his precious daughter, teaching her the best of everything, teaching her what is right and what is wrong.
This is why, as soon as the paper tiger rabbit heard that the Faceless Lord was the Faceless Evil God, it immediately came to help Lu Yuan and refused to continue the lamp for the Faceless Evil God.
For a moment, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, unsure of what to say.
At the same time, a crisp voice rang out from the side.
"It's fixed!!"
The paper tiger rabbit stood up from behind the stone.
She turned around, holding the eight-hole lamp. The moon was directly above her head, round and bright, illuminating her entire body.
The lamp was shining in her arms, not the dim yellow that was about to go out before, but a bright, golden yellow, like a newly lit lamp.
She ran back to the fire, squatted down, and held the lamp up to Lu Yuan.
"Look, Master! I've fixed it!"
The lamp swayed in her hand, the flame leaping high and illuminating her face.
Her eyes were bright, and the light was bright too; the two lights blended together, making it impossible to tell which was which.
The paper tiger and rabbit looked at the lantern. After a while, they held the lantern up to shine the moonlight.
The bronze lamp, rusted and mottled, glowed with a dark red light when illuminated by the fire.
The wick was newly inserted, made of thin strips of yellow paper, neatly stacked one by one.
She had found the lamp oil somewhere; it was clear and bright, and when she laid it at the bottom of the lamp, it reflected the firelight and looked like a small piece of melted amber.
The living tiger rabbit sat beside them, not saying a word, watching the fire.
The paper tiger and rabbit didn't care; they just held up the lamp and shone it on the moon.
"Look, isn't it bright?"
The living tiger rabbit glanced at it, said "bright," and then turned back to look at the fire.
The paper tiger rabbit sat down, holding the lamp, between the living tiger rabbit and Lu Yuan, and yawned cutely.
Then, with a thud.
The paper tiger and rabbit leaned directly against Lu Yuan's arm, held the lamp in his arms, and slowly closed their eyes.
Then----
Asleep?!
Lu Yuan turned his head in a daze, looking at the little nose leaning against his arm, somewhat astonished.
The living tiger rabbit glanced at him and then looked at Lu Yuan, saying, "Normal."
Then, before Lu Yuan could say anything, the living tiger rabbit suddenly stood up, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "In that case, let's part ways here."
Having said that, the living tiger and rabbit came to Lu Yuan's side, in front of the paper tiger and rabbit.
Blow out the eight-hole lamp and then put it away.
"Give me a hand."
At this moment, the living tiger rabbit was half-squatting in front, carrying a package in one hand.
Look at this living tiger rabbit—
Lu Yuan knew that this meant he had to put the paper tiger-rabbit on the back of the live tiger-rabbit.
The living tiger and rabbit are going to carry the paper tiger and rabbit on their backs.
The two people are about the same height, and they're carrying each other on their backs—
Logically speaking—
Now, both sides should indeed go their separate ways.
Lu Yuan's matter is also settled.
Although I don't know what these two are going to do next, I can't keep following them around —
only----
Looking at the paper tiger-rabbit figure leaning against his arm, suddenly falling into a deep sleep—
Lu Yuan glanced again at the expressionless, living tiger rabbit—
After a long silence, Lu Yuan suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The living tiger rabbit paused for a moment, glanced back at Lu Yuan, and after a few seconds, suddenly said, "Tiger Sheep Sheep."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then asked, "Are you going home?"
Tiger Sheep remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
Lu Yuan, looking at the tiger and sheep in front of him, continued, "Take me back to your home. I want to meet your father—"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, before Tiger Sheep could refute anything, Lu Yuan looked at Tiger Sheep in front of him seriously and said, "Perhaps, it can save Tiger Rabbit."
Tiger Sheep's instinctive reaction to Lu Yuan's words was to refuse.
Lu Yuan is a member of the Daoist sect, while they are members of the Ten Families outside the Great Wall.
How could we possibly meet? There's nothing to talk about anyway.
This is almost impossible, but—
When Lu Yuan said those words, Hu Yangyang was stunned.
But soon, Tiger Sheep snorted and refused, saying, "Even my dad can't help, what makes you think you can?"
That's true.
Looking at Tiger and Rabbit, you can tell how good their father is to his two daughters.
If there had been any other way, his father would have definitely sought it out.
After so many years, there's still no solution, so there must be no way.
Does Lu Yuan have that?
Lu Yuan didn't have it either.
It's not in anything Lu Yuan knows so far, or even in the "Dao" that the system rewarded him with!
Lu Yuan was completely helpless.
only----
Although Lu Yuan didn't know, the old man might!
Let's get to know each other, just in case the old man finds out.
Immediately, Lu Yuan raised his head slightly and said, "Your father is merely one of the ten families outside the Great Wall, while I am a legitimate member of the Daoist lineage!"
"To put it bluntly, the ten families outside the pass are far inferior to the Taoist sect in terms of skill!"
"Otherwise, you'll have the final say on what's outside the Great Wall!"
"I may be young, but my husband is incredibly capable!!"
"What if?!"
at the same time.
Deep in the mountains, an old man walking at night suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.
Then, the old man pinched his nose.
He muttered to himself, "Who's talking about me behind my back!"
