Chapter 358 Good People Don’t Always Get Good Rewards, so Why Should Bad People Enjoy Peace and Happiness?

“…”

The foolish monk listened to Zheng Yu’s words without saying a word, but his eyes were slowly filled with a vague murderous aura, as if touching the bottom line in his heart.

And the foolish monk’s change just proved the correctness of Zheng Yu’s guess.

Zhang Mu and others on the side also listened quietly.

And Zhang Mu also turned on the voice function, and put the conversation between Zheng Yu and the foolish monk directly in the group, so that Xing Yingluan and others could hear it.

Everyone listened quietly.

They felt that this might be the explanation Zheng Yu wanted to give them. Why did he give up? Maybe it was not just because he was worried that the reward was a trap.

There were other reasons.

"The Maitreya Hall records the disasters that occurred in Daming Temple before it became the Demon Temple. What's interesting is that you open the temple gate every year to let refugees in."

"One thing is very strange. My summoned beast found the historical records of that time in the Sutra Library. In the year of famine, even the imperial city had no food, and the emperor had to tighten his belt."

"Where does your temple get food to support so many refugees?"

"Later, I figured it out."

"I'm narrow-minded."

"You can't figure out such a simple question."

"Until you admit that this Demon Temple is your hard work, which means..."

Zheng Yu's voice became low, staring straight at the foolish monk, and said word by word: "It's you who made the Demon Temple like this."

"This is your hard work, and it's also your sin."

"Why do you need to feed them? You don't need food at all, and you don't need to be responsible for the life and death of these refugees. You just want their lives."

"..."

Zheng Yu paused.

He was waiting for Jingming to refute him.

But Jingming didn't say anything.

"..."

Zheng Yu sighed.

"So, is this why you separated the five poisons? Without greed, there will be no attachment."

"Without anger, there will be no self-blame."

"Without arrogance, there will be no guilt."

"Without doubt... you can continue to kill unswervingly."

Killing...

Zheng Yu's words made Zhang Mu's mind flash through this word.

He muttered: "So, the boundless resentment protects the killer, but it is not us who are protected, but this monk Jingming?"

"Yes... so what?"

Jingming did not refute, in fact, he had no reason to refute, he would not take the initiative to talk about his past, but since Zheng Yu guessed it himself, he did not cover it up.

In fact, these are easy to guess.

Jingming said to Zheng Yu without any expression on his face: "They will always die. Even if they don't die here, they will die of famine, disaster, disease, or... poverty."

"Have you seen that demon god?"

"You don't know what kind of existence he is!"

"No one can disobey him."

"He wants to slaughter the whole world, but it's just a thought!"

"All I can do is obey him."

Zheng Yu interrupted Jingming and said relentlessly: "Don't talk so high-soundingly, you just want to survive."

"Is it wrong?"

Jingming asked back.

"You're right. I want eternal life. After seeing the existence of demons outside the world, my desire to survive, which had long disappeared, was revived."

"I did it for myself, but this is the only way!"

"As long as I become a god, all those who have sacrificed their lives for my godhood in Daming Temple will have merit."

"They died for what they deserved!"

What an elegant mental state... Zheng Yu looked at the atrocities of slaughtering refugees, which not only made the logic of his atrocities self-consistent, but also turned sin into a just act.

Zheng Yu did not refute Jingming's words.

Different perspectives, no communication.

But Zheng Yu had to say what he had been holding back, "Those dead disaster victims, after turning into monsters, still believed in you."

"They never believed that it was you, Daming Temple that made them look like that."

"Your disciples, guarding everything in Daming Temple with their lives, just because you are their master, you are the abbot of Daming Temple."

"Does your conscience...really not hurt?"

Facing Zheng Yu's words, Jingming was about to answer, but suddenly realized something, and his eyes became sharp.

"Why are you asking these questions?"

Zheng Yu sighed.

Then he slowly walked out of the main hall.

Summon the King of Hell.

Zheng Yu's actions showed everything.

Jingming calmed down and said to Zheng Yu in a deep voice: "I don't understand why you made such a decision?"

"I can assure you that what I promised you is definitely not a trap."

"You can question my character and the sins I have committed, but now... those things are no longer important."

"You have to see the reality clearly."

"Daming Temple is no longer Daming Temple, but the ladder for me to become a god. I have lost my humanity and paid a lot of price to get it."

"So, I will protect Daming Temple to guarantee my friendship with you."

"I will never deceive you."

"It is definitely not the low reward you think. I will show you my sincerity."

Jingming was a little panicked because he felt Zheng Yu's determination, which was an unwavering attitude.

"You are right."

"You may not have lied to me again. Perhaps if you defeat the anger, it will be over. After all, it is indeed a difficult thing, and it is reasonable."

"But I am a twisted person. I always think that people should have a reason to live."

"My conscience cannot bear it."

Jingming's expression became a little anxious and twisted. "Does this make sense?"

"Yes."

Zheng Yu said firmly.

"..."

Jingming looked at Zheng Yu, and the veins on his forehead bulged. "Do you really want to fight me to the end? You have no chance of winning!"

Zheng Yu did not answer.

Feeling that the other party could no longer be persuaded, Jingming began to think about Zhang Mu and others.

"What about them?"

"Do you want them to be buried with you?"

"If you push me too hard, you will face the devil!"

Jingming planned to threaten with force.

Zheng Yu smiled and said to Zhang Mu and others: "You can make your own judgment now, but remember that this is the last choice. If you really can't choose, you can leave."

This is the last chance Zheng Yu gave them.

"Do I still need to choose? Of course I choose to believe you. How can I let go of the thigh I chose myself?"

The speakers were Zhang Zhan and Chai Fang who arrived at the fastest speed.

In fact, Zhang Zhan and Chai Fang did not say a word from the beginning, because they knew Zheng Yu's character and knew very well what Zheng Yu would do next.

Compromise?

Accept a reward from the Demon Temple?

How is it possible!

So, when others were celebrating, Zhang Zhan and Chai Fang had already rushed to Zheng Yu's side without stopping.

They wanted to be Zheng Yu's first supporter.

The kind of unconditional support.

"Although the special reward is tempting, we have a mission. General Liao Ning asked us to obey your orders."

"We are soldiers, and military orders are above everything else!"

Zhang Mu and Wang Mang stood behind Zheng Yu.

Wen Ren Jin followed closely behind him. He just said to Zheng Yu, "Thank you for taking care of my sister."

Then he stood not far behind Zheng Yu.

Luo Qun and Hu Feng were silent in the group.

They did not expect the situation to turn out like this.

Choose Zheng Yu.

Or choose the special abyss reward...

In fact, there is no need to think about it. Who would give up the reward and choose a result that may lead to a confrontation with the devil?

But they dare not speak first, after all, this abyss was led by Zheng Yu.

They are waiting for Xing Yingluan.

They believe that Xing Yingluan, who has always been against Zheng Yu and attempted to morally blackmail Zheng Yu, will definitely choose the right decision.

As long as Xing Yingluan speaks, they will follow his choice.

At this time, Xing Yingluan sent a message.

"I have made a decision."

"I know you may have some opinions about me, but this does not affect my judgment. If I knew the background of the Demon Temple earlier, I would never be as happy as I was just now."

"I am selfish, but I have my own sense of right and wrong."

"Captain, I believe you."

Unexpectedly, Xing Yingluan did not make the "correct" choice like Luo Qun and the others.

But just when Xing Yingluan sent the first message, the two of them sent messages to choose to accept the reward, and appeared "in time" behind Jingming.

"..."

Although the two were a little embarrassed, they did not regret their choice.

Because they firmly believed that they were right.

In the face of life and death, what is face?

Lv Zhuzhu was the last one who hadn't made a choice. Zheng Yu looked at her, and Lv Zhuzhu said with a relaxed face: "I made the decision a long time ago, when I felt that you didn't want to talk to the fool monk."

"I just want to know why you made this decision."

"Just because of...conscience?"

Facing Lv Zhuzhu's question, Zheng Yu also asked: "Is this question important?"

Lv Zhuzhu nodded, "It's very important to me, and it's also very important to you."

Zheng Yu said: "The reason... is also very simple."

Zheng Yu pointed at Jingming and said: "I just don't want him to hang over my head one day in the future and call himself a god."

"That's disgusting."

"Good people don't necessarily get good rewards, so why should bad people enjoy peace?"

"Become a god?"

"I just want him to die."

"That's my reason."

Ask for a gift, I've been writing until 1 a.m....
