"Lord of the City, you've confused me. Her explanation makes perfect sense. Why isn't she the real Bai Suzhen?"
Nie Feng looked puzzled.
Li Yao laughed and said, "The real Bai Suzhen should have died long ago. The person in front of you, just like Hei Tong, is just a Bai Suzhen who found a woman who looks very much like Bai Suzhen and then created a Bai Suzhen through 'other-life salvation'."
"Oh, I see!"
Nie Feng suddenly realized and immediately remembered what Hei Tong had said about 'crossing over to the next life'.
Hei Tong used the "He Life Crossing" technique to transfer all of Hei Tong's memories into Kong Ci's mind.
Therefore, Black Eyes now occupies Kong Ci's body.
Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "It seems you really know a lot. So, what else do you know?"
"Let me think about it..."
Li Yao smiled and suddenly said, "You are the master of Black Eyes and Snow Daruma, Demon!"
"What? She's a demon?"
"God's wife is actually a demon?"
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were both taken aback.
Bai Suzhen looked at Li Yao with surprise and nodded, saying, "That's right, I am the demon."
Nie Feng asked, puzzled, "You are the wife of a god, so how did you become a demon?"
Although the Bai Suzhen in front of us is not the real Bai Suzhen.
However, she inherited all of Bai Suzhen's memories and was no different from Bai Suzhen.
Therefore, Nie Feng and the others all regarded her as Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen sighed deeply, her gaze suddenly becoming profound, and she said softly, "The reason I willingly became a demon is all because of four words: 'Demons save all living beings.' This is the plan I have pursued throughout my life."
Nie Feng asked curiously, "What exactly is the 'Demon Salvation of All Beings' plan?"
At this moment, Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly became excited, and her tone became more impassioned, "I have been carrying out the 'Demons Saving All Beings' plan at any cost because the ultimate goal is to achieve 'fairness and democracy'!"
Fairness! Democracy!
Li Yaozhen had some doubts about whether Bai Suzhen was a time traveler.
The word 'democracy' is clearly not a word that should exist in this era.
Sure enough, Nie Feng frowned and asked, "Fairness, I know, means everyone is equal, but what does 'democracy' mean?"
Bai Suzhen said excitedly:
"Indeed, the word 'democracy' did not exist in history; it was I who coined this word!"
"Only I dare to defy heaven and earth, defy the emperor and the country, and create this unorthodox word!"
"So-called 'democracy' is actually about putting the 'people' first!"
At this point, Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly turned serious, and she continued:
"Throughout history, the imperial power has always been supreme. The emperor holds the power of life and death over all people, while ordinary people have an extremely low status and live in poverty."
"In truth, whether you're a monarch or a commoner, once you take off your clothes and shed your status, aren't you just an ordinary person?"
"Why are their statuses so different?"
"Those monarchs, secluded in their palaces, surrounded by three thousand concubines, are oblivious to the suffering of their people. The people of this land are truly pitiful..."
Although Nie Feng deeply agreed with Bai Suzhen's words, he still interrupted, saying, "However, there have been wise rulers in China before."
Bai Suzhen sighed and said:
"It's a pity that even a wise ruler can't make up for ten generations of mediocre rulers!"
Ultimately, the world should not be in the hands of one person.
"I believe that only by distributing all of heaven and earth equally among all people, dismantling all imperial and official power, and allowing the people to decide their own path, with the people as the masters, and no longer being controlled by those of high status..."
Bai Suzhen became more and more excited as she spoke.
Unexpectedly, just as she was getting to the most excited part, Li Yao ruthlessly poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
Li Yao said, "I advise you to give up this naive fantasy. Even if you were given another thousand or two thousand years, you still wouldn't be able to achieve your so-called 'fair democracy'!"
Bai Suzhen's ideas were too idealistic!
Even in modern societies with extremely high levels of productivity, true fairness and democracy cannot be achieved.
Moreover, this was especially true in an ancient society with very low productivity.
However, Li Yao's visit to Shaolin Temple to find Bai Suzhen was also related to 'fairness and democracy'.
Bai Suzhen stubbornly replied, "As long as I obtain the terrifying weapon discovered by Bodhidharma, I can achieve 'fair democracy'."
Li Yao smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let's wait and see."
Bai Suzhen looked at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and said, "I have found a way to restore Kong Ci's memories from before she was eight years old, but I need your help."
Nie Feng asked, "How can we help?"
Bai Suzhen said, "That method is hidden inside the Sacred Gate of the Wooden Dummy Alley in Shaolin. As long as you pass through the Wooden Dummy Alley, Kong Ci can find the way to restore his memory from inside the Sacred Gate."
Nie Feng asked, puzzled, "Is that Wooden Dummy Alley really that difficult to navigate? Why do we have to go with Bu Jingyun?"
Bai Suzhen said, "Let's go to the Wooden Dummy Alley first, and then I'll explain to you."
After saying that, she walked inside.
Nie Feng and the others suppressed their curiosity and followed.
At this moment, Nie Feng pointed at the group of 'ghosts' and asked, "What exactly is going on with these 'people'?"
Bai Suzhen stopped, a look of guilt on her face, and said, "Actually, the reason these people have become like this is related to Kong Ci."
"Is it related to Kong Ci?"
Nie Feng frowned and looked at Hei Tong (Kong Ci).
Bai Suzhen nodded and continued:
"I suppose Hei Tong has already told you about Kong Ci's background. Eleven years ago, when Kong Ci was eight years old, her father, Kong Yi, left his hometown to join the World Society, passing through Mount Song."
"At that time, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was 'Bujie,' a mad monk with extremely extreme ideas. He believed that people who made mistakes must be punished, and even killed."
“As the abbot of Shaolin, Bujie naturally knows the secret of Bodhidharma’s heart, and also knows that Kong Ci and Kong Yi can unlock Bodhidharma’s heart.”
"He felt that by killing Kong Ci and Kong Yi, he could act on behalf of Heaven and prevent a great disaster from happening."
"Coincidentally, he learned that Kong Ci and Kong Yi would be passing through Songshan."
"And I have also received information that Bu Jie intends to assassinate Kong Ci and Kong Yi."
"Therefore, I ordered Black Pupil to deliberately create a smokescreen, falsely claiming that the descendants of the Kong family could disguise themselves, in order to ensure everything went smoothly."
"Bu Jie believed it to be true and did not find any trace of Kong Ci."
"I never expected that this villain would stop at nothing to achieve his goal, and actually decided to kill all the eight-year-old children near Mount Song so that Kong Ci would not escape."
"By the time Hei Tong arrived, all the kidnapped children, including Kong Ci, had been poisoned by Bu Jie's poison: the Curse of a Thousand Reincarnations."
“Children who are severely poisoned have skin that becomes dry and withered, like ghosts, just like them.”
“Children who are not severely poisoned may lose their memory even if their skin does not become dry. Kong Ci lost her memories before the age of eight because of this.”
Chapter 251 Yuanji Maha, Wooden Dummy Alley
Upon hearing about Bu Jie's evil deeds, Nie Feng and the others were filled with righteous indignation and cursed Bu Jie as a beast.
Nie Feng asked, "What happened to that villain later?"
Bai Suzhen said:
"The villain was no match for Black Eyes, so he hid inside the Holy Gate behind Wooden Dummy Alley."
"Black Eyes can't get through the Wooden Dummy Alley, but that villain can't get out either."
"In the end, the villain was trapped and died inside the Holy Gate."
"And within the Holy Gate, there is a way to remove the poison of the 'Curse of a Thousand Reincarnations'."
“If we can get through the Wooden Dummy Alley, these people can be saved, and Kong Ci’s memories from when he was eight years old can be restored.”
Nie Feng and the others then realized what was happening.
Nie Feng asked curiously, "Just how powerful is this Wooden Dummy Alley that even you couldn't get through it?"
Bai Suzhen walked ahead and said, "Let's go to Wooden Dummy Alley and I'll explain the situation there to you."
Soon, Li Yao and his group, led by Bai Suzhen, arrived at the entrance of a cave.
On the stone wall at the cave entrance, there are some inscriptions:
To enter the alley of the wooden figures,
You must first kneel three times in my alley.
Nine times, I prostrate myself before all the benevolent deities of heaven.
Only then can one see gods and Buddhas.
Otherwise, they will surely be punished by heaven.
A hint of disdain appeared on Bai Suzhen's face.
Only after kneeling and kowtowing three times can one enter the Wooden Dummy Alley?
joke!
As the Demon Lord, she has always looked down on gods and Buddhas, especially the crimes committed by the monk Bujie, which made her even more disgusted with Buddha.
Asking her to kneel before gods and Buddhas? Absolutely not!
So, without hesitation, she went straight into the Wooden Dummy Alley.
Li Yao smiled and followed suit.
