Chapter 383 Killing is easy, saving is difficult
After listening to Luo Budao's suggestion, Zhu Wuyao transmitted his voice:
"It's not that simple."
"If it is foreseen that the two of them will face calamity, even if we forcibly bring them along, the calamity may actually begin from there."
"If there are no major disasters, even if you carry it with you through thick and thin, you might still be able to turn bad luck into good."
Luo Budao was stunned for a moment, then cursed in a low voice:
"Then what's the point of your divination then?
That's not how you should put it.
If one is willing to follow the will of Heaven, a diviner can live a good life.
If you know she has a short lifespan, you can cut your losses and reduce your investment in time, and you will not suffer any loss; if you know she will rise to great heights in the future, you can do more good deeds and build more connections, and you will be able to make a huge profit.
This is the way most practitioners of divination do things.
As I've continued my spiritual practice, many things that I used to not understand or scoff at have gradually become explained.
Like a rumor I'd heard before—
An old Taoist priest foresaw an impending disaster, so he walked the streets in a mad manner, constantly begging passersby for "chopsticks" and "peaches," which together sound like "escape quickly."
But the world only thought he was a madman.
The old Taoist priest died after revealing heavenly secrets, and disaster struck as predicted.
When Zhu Wuyao first heard this story, the veracity of which was unknown, he found it somewhat incomprehensible. If the intention was to warn the world, why not explain things clearly?
Even when he arrived in the world of cultivation, Zhu Wuyao did not understand why he should "be careful to get involved in other people's karma" at the beginning, and he did not know why divination practitioners often stood by and did not take initiative.
The course of nature is constant.
Perhaps forcibly averting a disaster will only lead to an even greater one.
This is very similar to the concept of "great calamity" in the novel *Investiture of the Gods*.
As the causal relationships of the Heavenly Dao continue to branch out, they eventually become a tangled mess, so complicated and complex that even the Heavenly Dao itself cannot unravel or calculate them.
Then a "great calamity" will arrive.
A major disaster can format all living things in the world, reduce the load on the system, prevent system crashes, and restore normal operation.
Therefore, it is also about changing one's fate.
Killing is easy, saving lives is difficult.
In the process of saving lives, many karmic consequences often arise, which may require the participation of many individuals, increasing the burden of karmic entanglements. From the perspective of the natural order, this is no different from a computer virus and needs to be corrected.
Killing someone is like clearing out memory.
Zhu Wuyao is an exception.
She is an outsider. Heaven can detect the changes she has made and take corrective action, but in most cases, it cannot trace her existence or target her for elimination.
Unless she's too energetic or too conspicuous.
After acquiring the purple aura, Zhu Wuyao gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
But she won't tell anyone.
Because she hoped that those who came after her would still be willing to "defy the will of Heaven" in order to find new solutions.
Perhaps this is why Sect Leader Fang, despite knowing so much, never teaches his disciples—
Since we'll find out sooner or later anyway, we might as well wait until later and explore different paths while we're still in the dark.
It's no wonder that the "master-disciple culture" isn't very prevalent in the Star-Picking Tower.
Once this thing is passed down and taught, its path narrows.
Zhu Wuyao looked at Ge Mingsheng, who was waiting for her response.
After a moment's thought, he said:
"Hand me something."
Although Ge Mingsheng was somewhat puzzled, he still took off the hair tie that was binding his hair and handed it to Zhu Wuyao.
The Celestial Observation Technique is activated.
"Orphaned, a disciple of the Juque Sect."
This thought vanished in an instant, dissipating like smoke, as if it had never existed. Zhu Wuyao's consciousness was left with only a blank.
Upon closer inspection, no results were found.
Zhu Wuyao was taken aback for a moment.
Is divination failing?
wrong.
Her eyes lit up instantly—it seemed she had successfully changed her fate!
In this matter, I am at most a kind-hearted bystander; the one who truly seized the opportunity and took initiative was Ge Mingsheng himself.
Zhu Wuyao had seen a similar example before; Ye Xiaozhou had relied on himself to forcibly change his destiny.
Although the underlying principle is unknown, Zhu Wuyao was truly delighted to have found a target this time.
What a promising talent for divination!
Since fate has changed and the connection between Ge Mingsheng and the Juque Sect has been severed, it would be best for him to stay away from the turmoil and calm down for a while.
In that case, perhaps not having them by your side is the best choice.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyao transmitted his voice—
"You have a connection with the Juque Sect, but it seems the cause and effect have changed and the past is uncertain. There are too many troubles around me. It might be a good choice for you to go somewhere else for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Ge Mingsheng looked somewhat surprised.
How could she possibly have any connection with the Juque Sect?
"We will still communicate in the same way as before. If you encounter any trouble, please send a message promptly."
Zhu Wuyao then gifted her some pills and talismans, and sent Ge Mingsheng and her daughter out of Tongzhou.
Then, they headed towards Illusion Butterfly Mountain with Luo Budao.
"That place is nearby, and we should be able to get there by tomorrow. Sigh... If things hadn't gotten so big and we didn't trust the independent cultivators in Tongzhou, it would have been a good idea to just give them some spirit stones and send them back to Zhaixing Tower directly."
"It's a pity that most of my sisters and brothers are demons. They'll only cause trouble if they leave the Tongzhou area."
Luo Budao continued rambling on.
Zhu Wuyao was pondering something else—just how fast could a mule in the Foundation Establishment stage run?
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Three days have passed since the message from the Juque Sect arrived.
Wu Guihong, along with his trusted men, disguised themselves and headed towards the vicinity of Tongzhou.
Most communication talismans can only transmit messages to magical artifacts within a sect.
There are indeed one-way communication symbols that allow you to contact yourself.
Unfortunately, they were all a bunch of idiots.
He was a Golden Core cultivator, after all. He took all his possessions and more than a dozen disciples to his death. Now look what happened, he's lost everything.
Wu Guihong was unaware that the Juque Sect's stronghold had been destroyed.
But I always felt uneasy.
He did not ignore the warning from his spiritual senses, and took out a map from the airship, giving the instructions:
"Stop outside the town ahead, disguise yourself, go inside, and rest for the night."
"Tonight, I'll send a few people to Tongzhou to find out the latest news, contact my sect's disciples, and see how things go before making any further plans."
Wu Guihong was not a careless person.
Since he is adept at taking advantage of others' negligence and carrying out his own calculations, he will naturally not make the same mistake.
If the cultivators in Tongzhou have truly offended a powerful figure, wouldn't entering the city now be like walking into a trap and rushing to their deaths?
"Yes!"
The monk standing beside him received the order and immediately went to deliver the message.
The airship landed silently outside the town.
Wu Guihong changed into merchant attire and took out a carriage he had encountered on the road from his storage bag.
Fortunately, he had the foresight.
When they encountered a merchant caravan on the road, thinking that these goods might be useful, they took the carriages and their cargo.
They even brought horses onto the spirit boat.
It can be used now.
He was somewhat disgusted by the rough and ordinary clothes of ordinary people, but Wu Guihong did not consider himself an arrogant person. As long as he wore a dharma robe underneath, he could wear such mundane things.
