Chapter 1420: We Cannot Do It

"I certainly know his time is running out, but the Buddha's way is one of compassion. If left to his own devices, he will die in terror and fear; even in death, his Spirit will find no peace."

Liu Ruxi said: "That is why I used the power of the Buddha to bestow a Buddha Seal upon him, with the sole purpose of letting him feel more at ease before he dies, and to do as many good deeds as possible."

"Fine, we cannot do such things," Chen Yu shook his head and said: "I could actually save this person, but he has committed evils in his life, so he planted the seeds of Karma long ago."

"Therefore, this kind of person cannot be saved; it would damage one's hidden virtue," Chen Yu said.

"Are you two normal people?" Li Yunshan watched the two from the side, listening to their conversation, and he felt it was somewhat inconceivable.

He felt that Old Liu's Appearance was that of a certain death; such a person definitely could not be saved.

Yet Liu Ruxi could still redeem a bit of hidden virtue for him, and Chen Yu could even take action to save him.

"We are normal people," Chen Yu nodded, and he smiled slightly: "It is just that we have experienced some things, and some changes have occurred within us, so we can do things that ordinary people cannot."

"Fine, there are countless Dharma Cultivators, but those who can achieve great fortune are few and far between," Li Yunshan could not help but sigh: "You two are definitely not comparable to ordinary people."

"Senior Li is too kind," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Actually, it is nothing compared to what others say; it is just that there are some things others have not experienced."

Liu Ruxi said nothing; she only smiled faintly.

"Fine, but this person will not be able to escape his tribulation tomorrow," Li Yunshan shook his head: "And we cannot take him with us, because he is a burden."

"Tomorrow morning, let him leave on his own; that is all we can do for him," Liu Ruxi said.

"Alright, we will see tomorrow morning," Li Yunshan nodded.

Early the next morning, Chen Yu prepared breakfast, with eggs and milk; it was very sumptuous.

"You have a storage Dharma Artifact on you?" Li Yunshan was even more stunned; when Chen Yu arrived, he had no belongings on him.

But now he could produce things to eat one after another as if performing magic, which meant he must have something like a Mustard Seed Sumeru.

"Senior's eyes are quite sharp, you saw that?" Chen Yu laughed and said: "That's right, I do have such things on me. The space is not large, but it can hold everything that needs to be packed."

"Sigh, your luck is truly good," Li Yunshan was extremely envious; he never imagined that Chen Yu would actually have such a thing.

This is something many Dharma Cultivators dream of.

"Nothing to be done, my luck is just good," Chen Yu smiled.

Old Liu also crowded over to scrounge some food; this guy was now cowering, keeping his posture extremely low.

"Is your boat still there?" Liu Ruxi glanced at him.

"Still there, still there," Old Liu nodded repeatedly.

"After you finish eating, leave on your own," Liu Ruxi said indifferently: "The matter we are going to handle is quite special, so we cannot take you with us."

"I understand, thank you Miss Liu, I will leave on my own," Old Liu said, bowing and scraping.

Chen Yu glanced at this guy, and from his expression, he could tell that this fellow would not leave this place properly at all.

"Let me give you a few words of advice," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Please speak, Mr. Chen, I am listening," Old Liu said hurriedly.

"If it is time to go, then go; this place is truly not a place for you to stay," Chen Yu said: "And our purpose for coming here is not what you think."

"Life is your own, and you only have one; remember that clearly."

Old Liu was stunned; he did not know why Chen Yu would say such a thing, but he immediately nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely keep your words clearly in my heart."

"It would be best if you can remember it," Chen Yu smiled slightly, then said: "Alright, eat your food. Once you are done, leave; do not linger here. This place is not a place for you to stay."

"Alright, I understand, Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely leave this place honestly and will not dare to cause you any more trouble," this guy nodded repeatedly.

Chen Yu then nodded, ate some food, and checked the time; it was already past ten in the morning.

"Senior Li, it is time for us to set off," Chen Yu turned his head to look at Li Yunshan and said.

"Alright then, let's go," Li Yunshan also stood up.

The few of them ignored Old Liu and left directly, while Old Liu watched them leave respectfully.

After their figures disappeared, the humble expression on his face vanished.

He glanced at his palm and saw that the Buddha Seal was still there.

After experiencing the terrifying events of last night, he was no longer that afraid now.

"Damn it, I can't just come here and do nothing," Old Liu muttered: "The lives of the village chief and the others are all placed here; I cannot go back empty-handed."

But thinking of that terrifying scene last night, he still had lingering fears, especially when those inexplicable tentacles reached out; he had almost no power to fight back.

People are just like this; if you don't court death, you won't die. If this guy had left this place normally, perhaps he could have avoided this crisis.

But looking at his appearance, it seemed he did not intend to do so, because he had his own ideas.

He thought for a moment, then followed in the direction Chen Yu and the others had left.

"Fine, you win," Li Yunshan in front gave Chen Yu ten yuan, and Chen Yu took the ten yuan into his hand as a matter of course.

Just now, Chen Yu and Li Yunshan made a bet; he said Old Liu definitely would not leave so readily, and Li Yunshan naturally did not believe it.

So he lost just like that; although they had left, they could clearly see in their consciousness that Old Liu was following in the direction they had left.

"Haha, I understand the human nature of these ordinary people too well," Chen Yu laughed and said: "Alright, let's go. Since this guy is courting death himself, then let him be. It's a pity; he originally had a chance."

"So this is why he has a Death Tribulation on him," Liu Ruxi said: "In a person, there is always greed."

"So the greed in him led him to this step; this is something no one can change."

"Fine, let him be," Li Yunshan shook his head; he had not left the Mountain for decades, and he was no longer clear about the changes in this world.

As for why these people would not even want their lives just to seek so-called treasures, this was something he could not understand.

Knowing that one might lose their life, yet still wanting to take a gamble—is money more important than life?

The few of them ignored this guy; since he was looking for death himself, then let him be in this place and fend for himself.
