Zhao Tian revealed a bitter smile, "Mo, I can't tell you those things.
Even if I told you, you wouldn't let me do it."
"Why are you determined to do those things?"
Mo Lin didn't know exactly what things, but he was sure it wasn't anything good.
Or rather, some dirty things.
This was Mo Lin's own judgment.
"Some things need someone to do them." Zhao Tian said again, "Alright, Mo, let's not talk about these sad topics anymore.
Let's go inside and eat."
With that said, Zhao Tian led Mo Lin into a very ordinary house.
Inside, there were some dishes prepared, along with wine.
The two drank wine as they ate.
Mo Lin didn't pressure Zhao Tian to drink.
Zhao Tian took a bottle of white wine and finished it directly.
That wasn't enough, so he drank another bottle of white wine.
Mo Lin couldn't drink as much as Zhao Tian; he only drank a few bottles of beer.
Zhao Tian got drunk and leaned on Mo Lin, talking about trivial things.
When they talked about sad topics, Zhao Tian cried.
He hugged Mo Lin, lying on Mo Lin's shoulder, and tears soaked his shoulder.
Mo Lin repeatedly asked him what was on his mind.
What did he want to do?
Zhao Tian didn't say a single word.
They slept in the same room.
The next morning.
Mo Lin and Zhao Tian parted ways.
Mo Lin went to Western Shu to find Cui Xinyun.
Zhao Tian still stayed in Jin County.
...
Seven days later.
Qin Yuyu arrived in Jin County alone.
After getting into a fight with Mo Lin last time, she hadn't left Jin County.
She had been staying in Jin County.
Moreover, she discovered something very important.
Zhao Tian was killing people, not just those controlled by the Evil Buddha.
There were also some ordinary people.
This was why Qin Yuyu came to find Zhao Tian.
Seeing Qin Yuyu's emotional excitement, Zhao Tian said nothing.
Zhao Tian looked expressionlessly at Qin Yuyu, dressed in grey-white clothes.
"Zhao Tian, you've killed so many ordinary people, how is this any different from the Evil Buddha?" Qin Yuyu questioned Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian sat in the chair, silent, just watching Qin Yuyu.
Qin Yuyu added another line, "Does Mo Lin know you're doing this?"
At the mention of Mo Lin, Zhao Tian showed an emotional reaction.
"He doesn't know." Zhao Tian slowly replied.
"Why are you killing so many people? What good does it do you?" Qin Yuyu questioned Zhao Tian.
"So, why did you come to me?" Zhao Tian retorted.
"To stop you from killing people." Qin Yuyu straightforwardly replied to Zhao Tian.
That was her purpose.
"Hahahahaha..."
"You're such a good-hearted person..."
Zhao Tian's eyes suddenly turned cold, speaking coldly to Qin Yuyu.
"The Evil Buddha has a Magical Treasure, called the Fireproof Shield.
This Magical Treasure is meant to deal with Mo.
Once trapped by the Fireproof Shield, Mo's Divine Fire will completely lose its effect, and all his cultivation will be sealed.
At that time, Mo will die."
Qin Yuyu frowned, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"Can you save Mo?"
Zhao Tian questioned Qin Yuyu.
Without waiting for Qin Yuyu to speak, Zhao Tian continued, "Can you save Mo?
If you save Mo, you will definitely die.
Would you save Mo?
You're just ordinary friends with Mo, right?
Would you risk your own life for Mo?"
Qin Yuyu hesitated and didn't say anything.
This action was enough to explain everything.
She might not save Mo Lin.
"Can you save Mo Lin?" Qin Yuyu thought for a moment and asked Zhao Tian.
"Yes, I can save Mo."
Zhao Tian pointed to the pile of corpses in the distance and slowly said, "Use their lives to exchange for Mo's life."
Qin Yuyu's head buzzed.
Even as foolish as she might be, she understood what Zhao Tian's words meant.
Zhao Tian was killing people to save Mo Lin.
The specifics were unclear.
But one thing was certain: he was doing this to have the ability to save Mo Lin when Mo Lin was in crisis.
Zhao Tian had no motive to lie.
Killing so many people was of no benefit to Zhao Tian.
Only disadvantages.
"I'm not as noble as you are, I'm selfish."
Zhao Tian straightforwardly told Qin Yuyu, "I can't save everyone.
I can only save Mo."
"So, to save Mo Lin, you've slaughtered so many ordinary people?" Qin Yuyu questioned Zhao Tian.
"Yes..." Zhao Tian decisively answered, "And I will continue to kill many more."
"Madman." Qin Yuyu cursed and turned away immediately.
Her emotions were as complex as the tides.
Like a stone pressing down in her heart.
Making her unable to breathe.
Her understanding was completely overturned at this moment.
Qin Yuyu wandered aimlessly along the street.
....
Mo Lin followed the map and headed to Western Shu.
The path was all mountain roads.
Though called mountain roads, the paths were actually overgrown with weeds.
There was no path anymore.
Mo Lin braced himself and kept walking.
Rested when tired,
Drank water when thirsty.
He walked for three days like this.
No idea how many mountains he crossed.
Mo Lin finally arrived in Western Shu.
No bustling streets, the place was filled with a corrupt atmosphere.
Dead trees and black liquid everywhere.
"Another outsider who isn't afraid of death has come." A burly man, seeing Mo Lin, showed a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.
"Kid, go back to where you came from, you shouldn't be here." The burly man reminded Mo Lin.
"Brother, was there a woman here some time ago?" Mo Lin asked the burly man.
"Are you her friend?" The burly man asked Mo Lin.
"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.
"Since you're here, take that friend away."
The burly man walked ahead, leading Mo Lin.
Mo Lin nodded, and then followed behind the burly man into the village.
All eyes were on Mo Lin.
Mo Lin then noticed that the people of Shu Region were wearing clothes similar to Tang suits, very different from his attire.
The burly man led Mo Lin into a room.
"Speak quietly, the patient's condition is still unstable, can't get too excited." The burly man said slowly to Mo Lin.
"Patient?"
Upon hearing the word, Mo Lin had a very bad premonition.
Soon the wooden door was pushed open.
Only then did Mo Lin see.
A woman wrapped in white cloth, her right hand supporting a wooden stick, was hobbling, practicing walking.
Not only that, this woman had a conspicuous scar on her body.
A scar on her neck too; her long hair was gone.
Only short hair remained.
Seeing the woman, Mo Lin froze.
This woman was Cui Xinyun.
Mo Lin felt his soul had been heavily struck.
Seeing Mo Lin, Cui Xinyun instinctively wanted to hide, not wanting him to see her in such a miserable state.
But she realized she had nowhere to hide.
"This girl, when she came here, was close to death, got saved by the divine doctor here." The burly man calmly said, arms crossed.
