C73 (1/2)

I shook my head resentfully as I thought about the cruel priest I saw earlier. ”Master, you don't have to care about him. I saw with my own eyes how cruel he was to pull out a child's innards. It's better to just let him live and die.”

”Little Tian, you can't say that. Master has asked around. The offerings that Director Zhou gave to the Six-Armed Demon were bought by him at great expense from other places. He did not personally kill them.”

I still didn't move and said, ”Alright, even if he didn't hurt the innocent, he really was helping the Six-Armed Demon revive. Just based on this point, not killing him immediately is already master's mercy. Why do you still need to treat him?”

”Don't you think that everything that Zhou Dong has done was bewitched by the Six-Armed Demon? Or was it forced?”

I was stunned for a moment. I recalled the earlier situation where the Six-Armed Demon tried to kill me. What Zhou Dong said and did didn't seem like a person who was willing to help the evildoer. Could it be that he was really forced by the Six-Armed Demon?

I can't say for sure right now. If they were really forced, then why didn't Zhou Dong invite some expert to kill the Six-Armed Demon earlier? Not only did he not do so, he even helped the Six-Armed Demon revive.

Even if the offerings that Director Zhou brought were not killed by him, but he bought the corpse to offer to the Six-Armed Demon, was that right? Moreover, during the process of offering sacrifices, he had to personally remove the child's internal organs. Such a cruel and bloody matter was something that he had done personally.

My master patted me on the shoulder and said, ”We are just cultivators. We can kill evil and evil people, but we don't have the right to kill a human. Even if Director Zhou commits a crime, he will be punished.”

Listening to my Master's words, I didn't understand at all. As a cultivator, you have to be righteous, be it an evil demon or an unpardonable human. As long as you meet them, you can eliminate them.

Since ancient times, there has always been a difference between good and evil, but from my master's mouth, it's not like this, as if he was telling me that while I can deal with demons, I can't do it to humans.

I don't understand. In many cases, once humans have evil thoughts, the consequences would be more serious than ordinary evil spirits. Could it be that I can't get rid of them even if I meet them?

”Don't even think about it. Just follow Master's instructions and heal Chairman Zhou first.”

With great doubt, I took Zhou Dong back to his room and watched my master continuously treating him. After a few minutes, my master let out a sigh and said, ”Alright, Director Zhou is fine now, he will wake up tomorrow morning.”

”I have nothing to do with whether he wakes up or not. Disciple will follow master back in a while. I don't want to bother with his matters anymore.”

”No, you can't leave here.”

”Why, Master, didn't you say before that no matter how big of a mistake humanity has committed, there would naturally be people who would control it? What's the use of me staying here?”

Master looked at my face, then turned around and walked out of the door. I thought I had angered Master, so I quickly followed.

Walking out of Zhou Dong's room, Master turned around and looked at me, and said, ”Little Tian, you must remember Master's words. We are cultivators, and it is our duty to behead demons and exterminate devils, but this is only for demons and devils. As for the human race, no matter how many crimes they commit, we don't have the authority to punish them. If they commit the crimes, naturally, the relevant authorities will punish them. ”

I still didn't understand as I shook my head and said, ”I don't think there's any difference. No matter if it's a human or a demon, as long as we commit mistakes that exceed a certain limit, we, as cultivators, should have the right to punish them.”
