Zi Chen stood at the top of the stairs.
Ocon sat in his seat.
The two looked at each other. Four eyes met.
An inexplicable pressure, with the two as the center, surged out.
In the inn, everyone felt an inexplicable pressure, and many people found it difficult to breathe.
The shopkeeper's face was pale, squatting in the corner, too scared to say a word.
The waiters were nowhere to be seen.
On the first floor of the inn, there seemed to be only two people left in an instant.
The atmosphere was strange, and swords were drawn!
There was no need to guess, the one sitting there was the strongest person in this pure land … Ocon.
Ocon stretched out his hand, saying, "Sit."
As soon as this sentence came out, the pressure in the inn disappeared in an instant.
The shopkeeper in the corner was sweating profusely, as if he had just experienced a life and death crisis.
Zi Chen slowly went down the stairs. His expression seemed calm, but his mood was fluctuating greatly.
Just a moment ago, he felt threatened.
This was the first time someone had threatened him since he came here.
Zi Chen sat opposite Ocon, took the initiative to pour himself a cup of wine, and then looked at Ocon, waiting for him to continue.
Ocon said, "I heard that you have good wine on you?"
Zi Chen drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. A light flashed in his hand, and a pot of wine appeared.
After opening it, the fragrance of the wine overflowed.
Ocon laughed, "It is indeed good wine!"
Looking at the other's intoxicated expression, as if he really came to ask for wine.
Zi Chen took the initiative to say, "Sir, you came because of Cody's death?"
Ocon put down the wine cup, "Yes and no."
Zi Chen looked at Ocon, waiting for him to continue.
"Cody provoked you, and you killed him. He deserved it. I believe that if it was anyone else, they would not let him go."
Ocon said, "This kind of brainless idiot is not worthy of my special attention.
In fact, I'm very glad that such an idiot died early. In the future, if he were to poke a hole in the sky because of his own stupidity, then he wouldn't be the one to die. "
Zi Chen nodded and agreed with Ocon.
"I came here mainly to meet you, or rather, to meet the Saint."
"Saint?"
Zi Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning behind these words.
"The people here believe in 'every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost'."
Ocon said, "Ever since we gained consciousness, we have been like this. As long as there is profit, we don't need to consider others.
As for sacrificing oneself for others, we have only heard of such things in legends. We call such people Saints. "
Zi Chen said, "I'm not a saint."
"No, from what I've heard, you are the legendary Saint."
Ocon looked at Zi Chen. "Otherwise, why would you do such a thankless thing?"
She was just a wild girl. She could fend for herself.
But Zi Chen didn't, and brought her to the Pure Land.
Afraid that she would go astray, he personally brought her to experience the dangers of the world.
If Rat Road Street developed according to its original plan, everyone would be able to earn Light of Law, and there would only be more and not less.
But Zi Chen didn't, he chose another path.
Looking at Ocon's serious expression, Zi Chen's expression also became serious. "In any case, we are all earning Light of Law. I just feel that we can earn more this way.
As for sacrificing oneself for others, I have never thought of that. "
"That's absolutely impossible."
Ocon said, "If we are talking about business, the method we choose can maximize the benefits."
Zi Chen smiled and said, "Take Little Bamboo for example. If I didn't bring her here, she would have died long ago and would have no value.
But after coming here, she became a spirit cultivator and has great potential in the future. The Light of Law I invested in, compared to her future gains, is not even a hair from nine oxen. "
Ocon naturally didn't think so. There were too many uncertain factors in this.
He asked, "If you were the master of the Pure Land and faced danger, what would you do?"
Zi Chen didn't even think and said, "Naturally, I would protect the Pure Land well. If I encountered a crisis that I couldn't resolve, I could only try to see if I could protect the Pure Land to the greatest extent."
"For example?" Ocon looked at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen said, "For example, I would leave and leave the Pure Land behind so that the people inside can live!"
Zi Chen had done such things many times.
Ocon said, "Why not just destroy the Pure Land? It's better to die in glory than to live in dishonor?"
Zi Chen smiled and said, "Since it's my Pure Land, it's naturally my home. The people I care about live there, as well as the people who trust me. Directly destroying it would be great."
"Moreover, preserving the Pure Land also preserves the possibility of the future.
One day, when I become strong, I can take back the Pure Land! "
Ocon said, "Are these your true thoughts?"
Zi Chen nodded.
Ocon stood up and said, "After seeing you, I seem to have regained my confidence in this world.
Perhaps, I should also go out for a walk and see the wider world. "
After that, Okang left, but he didn't finish the wine.
Zi Chen didn't know the other party's intentions, but he understood one thing. After Ocon left, no one dared to come to Rat Road Street to cause trouble.
Cody was killed, and the master of the Pure Land went to find Zi Chen.
However, Zi Chen was still unscathed. This was enough to see many problems.
Therefore, no matter how many people were thinking about Rat Road Street before, they had no choice but to give up now.
With Cody's example as an example, no one dared to steal from Rat Street again.
Therefore, the reputation of Rat Road Street was spread back in a very short time.
There were many poor people in the Pure Land. They all lived in places like Rat Road Street.
It was different from the past. After having a few rays of light of law on their bodies, they lived in fear and trepidation.
This time, with Zi Chen's promise, they openly stayed in the inns of Rat Road Street. Once the light of law was lost, they would go find the shopkeeper.
With reputation, there would naturally be business.
In the following days, the thirteen inns of Rat Road Street were filled to the brim every day.
Other than cultivating, Little Bamboo would also patrol this street.
Currently, she was still at the first level of spirit dharma.
Outside the Pure Land, a group of five people came.
The leader of the black-robed man stared ahead. "Are you sure there are no problems here?"
"The latest news we heard is that the master of this Pure Land, Ocon, was severely injured when fighting for the entrance last time."
The person behind said, "Furthermore, in this Pure Land, other than Ocon, there are only two eighth level spirit dharma and two sixth level spirit dharma."
Hearing that, the black-robed man said, "Then there are no problems."
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
The group of five headed towards Ocon's Pure Land.
Walking to the entrance of the Pure Land, the guards saw the five people with unfriendly expressions and tactfully didn't go up to ask for the entrance fee.
After the five people entered the Pure Land, they headed straight for the depths.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura exploded in the depths.
In this area, there was a special group of people. They hunted the master of the Pure Land and plundered the Pure Land for a living.
