Chapter 875 Lei Ming's Decision
Looking at the helpless Lei Ming standing below, Han Xu didn't feel soft-hearted for the first time.
Although he knew that Lei Ming had good intentions and was worried about injuring everyone, it was his good intentions that could not distinguish the situation that made the situation suddenly escalate to a state where it almost got out of control.
If he had listened to Han Xu's instructions and not left the Taoist gate quietly, Zhu Weitong would not have chased him, Han Xu would not have left, and he himself would not have fallen into Zhuge Zhaixing's hands.
If Han Xu had not been transferred away from the mountain, the Taoist world would not have been destroyed, and even Buddhism and the Wugou Sect might not have suffered such heavy losses.
The heart is good, but it is used in the wrong place.
Although Buddha and Leng Zong didn't express any intention to blame him, it was for Han Xu's sake, so they should have some knots in their hearts.
The reason why Han Xu was so harsh was to teach Lei Ming a profound lesson. Although Lei Ming has lived for who knows how many years, he has the mentality of a child. He is such a naughty child. If he doesn't give it a good beating, he may not be able to determine his future. Will it cause trouble?
It was because his thoughts were too simple that he was easily deceived by Zhuge Qing.
Lei Ming lowered his head and said: "Sect Master, I really know that I was wrong. I should listen to you. I am the one who has implicated everyone."
"Lei Ming, I don't know what Zhuge Qing said to you, but you should remember what I said to you. I will not sacrifice those around me to fulfill the interests of the majority of people.
From now on, please don't have any ridiculous thoughts about sacrificing the individual to fulfill the greater self. You should understand now that Zhuge Zhaixing does not want to use your body to repair the Divine Bridge at all, he just does it for his own selfish interests. "
Han Xu said earnestly: "There is no difficulty in this world that cannot be solved. There is not the only way to solve the difficulty. Before doing anything, you must put your own safety first. Think about it, if this time If something happened to you, Senior Phoenix would be so sad, and our friends would be so sad."
"No parent is willing to sacrifice his or her child to save others." After Han Xu finished speaking, Lei Ming finally burst into tears.
Han Xu didn't tell him any big truths, nor did he say how heavy the losses of Dao Sect and other sects were, but every word he said spoke to Lei Ming's heart.
"Sect Master, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong." Lei Ming turned his head and said to Feng, "Father, I was wrong."
The sound of father made Feng Ye burst into tears.
He looked at Han Xu gratefully, and Han Xu nodded slightly to him.
Feng said: "Lei Ming, it is not terrible for a man to do something wrong, but he must know how to make up for the wrong things he has done."
Lei Ming said: "Father, I understand, I will."
After saying that, Lei Ming looked at Han Xu and said, "Sect Master, I heard that you are going to look for the innate spiritual wood outside the territory, please take me with you."
"Take you with me?" Han Xu said in surprise, "Lei Ming, outside the territory is an extremely dangerous place. I am not sure of your safety, so you can't go."
Han Xu decisively refused without thinking. Lei Ming's realm is equivalent to that of a monk who created a human being. In a place like outside the territory, he has no ability to protect himself. He doesn't know how many unknown people he will encounter on this journey. It was dangerous. Han Xu was really not sure about protecting Lei Ming.
"Sect Master, please listen to me first." Lei Ming wiped his tears and said seriously, "I heard my father say that there is not much time left for us to repair the Divine Bridge. The outer territory is vast and boundless, and we want to find the innate spirit tree. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but as long as I’m within a certain distance, I can feel the breath of the innate spiritual tree.”
"I've caused a lot of trouble this time, and I should make up for it. I can't let you bear all the pressure."
Lei Ming held his head high and looked directly at Han Xu. His eyes were firmer and braver than ever before. This change caught Han Xu off guard.
Judging from Lei Ming's appearance, it was not a decision made on the spur of the moment. This experience made his mind mature a lot.
It is said that boys mature overnight after experiencing major changes. There is no step by step, no slow growth. A blow that touches the soul can turn a boy into a man.
Seeing that Han Xu was still hesitating, Feng said: "Sect Master, I know Lei Ming's request is a bit reluctant, but bringing him along can indeed save a lot of time, and our demon clan has always been bold in taking action. Since he made a mistake, he will You should make up for it, otherwise others may not blame him for your sake, but they won’t recognize him in their heart.”
Han Xu knew that what Feng said made sense. He had also heard some rumors from some Taoist disciples criticizing Lei Ming. If Lei Ming wanted to truly gain a foothold in this world in the future, it would not be enough to just live under Han Xu's glory. He must use his actions to gain recognition from others.
After careful consideration, Han Xu still agreed to Lei Ming, mainly because time was too tight and he could not stay outside the territory for too long. With Lei Ming, although the risk factor was greater, it could save a lot of time, at least he would not be like a headless person. Scurrying around like flies.
Seeing that Han Xu agreed, Lei Ming was extremely happy. He said solemnly: "Sect Master, I will not let you down."
"Okay, you should call me brother. The sect leader is out of touch." At this time, Han Xu finally changed back to his previous attitude, and Lei Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking care of Lei Ming's matter, Han Xu came to the place where Zhan Kui was imprisoned.
This is a dungeon. Walking into it reminded Han Xu of his experience of breaking into the dungeon alone in the lower realm.
Yang Qingcang and Ximen Wuhui have been let go, and now only Zhan Kui is left in the dungeon.
Han Xu didn't kill him because he wanted to take advantage of Zhan Kui's familiarity with the outside world.
Opening the cell door, Han Xu saw Zhan Kui. He was not tied up, but had a black iron chain tied to his feet.
The war leader's true essence has been sealed. At this time, he is just a strong ordinary person, and it is impossible to break away from Xuan Tie.
The war chief did not look as embarrassed as he imagined. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the cell with a very calm expression.
"Do you want to live?" Han Xu asked Zhan Kui directly without any nonsense.
Zhan Kui raised his head, saw Han Xu, and said, "If I can live, of course I want to."
"You are very direct." Han Xu originally thought that he would say something to beg for mercy, or that he would rather die than surrender, etc., but it turned out that nothing happened. Zhan Kui was always calm.
He said to Han Xu: "If you want to see me to beg for mercy, you will be disappointed. Although I don't want to die, I am not afraid of death."
"Then what reason do you have for me not to kill you."
"With my own value to you, of course."
