Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: Indeed Laden with Heavy Bloodshed
Jiangli led Bai Changfeng into the study. Hearing Bai Changfeng close the door behind him, Jiangli asked directly, “What is it? Just say it.”
Bai Changfeng was extrely embarrassed, but he did have sothing he wanted to ask Jiangli.
After hesitating for a mont, Bai Changfeng took a slight breath and spoke, “Eight hundred years ago, the abbot of Jiaoyang Temple was also nad Jiangli. I want to ask if the abbot shares the sa na—are you the sa person?”
Jiangli didn’t expect Bai Changfeng’s question to be so direct and smiled, “What do you think?”
Bai Changfeng pressed his lips together, “Last ti in D City, I saw your Spiritual Feature… it looked exactly like the recorded appearance of Celestial Maiden Ba. I went to check, and the records from past chairn have many accounts of Celestial Maiden Ba.”
As he said these words, he watched Jiangli’s eyes with so trepidation.
In fact, he didn’t even know if he should be asking about these things.
Jiangli’s smile did not falter, “You’re sharper than Xia Xin, that kid. He also saw my Spiritual Feature, but never thought it through.”
Bai Changfeng: “…”
“So, abbot, does this an… you admit it?”
Jiangli said, “There’s nothing I can’t admit to; I was the person eight hundred years ago and I’m the person now.”
Bai Changfeng’s heart skipped a beat, “Then according to the records, eight hundred years ago, the abbot hard countless fellow disciples, causing setbacks for Xuann—is that true?”
Jiangli narrowed his eyes slightly, “Hard fellow disciples?”
Bai Changfeng hesitated and nodded.
Jiangli placed the teacup on the desk, leaned against it, and asked, “Where did you hear that from?”
Bai Changfeng said, “It’s recorded in the journals of past chairn. Is there such a thing?”
Jiangli snorted, “I indeed bear heavy sins, but harming fellow disciples is sothing I haven’t done.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Changfeng recalled that section in the records, about slaughtering forty thousand people—a grave sin…
His heart constricted, “Abbot, did you kill many people?”
Jiangli glanced at him, neither sad nor joyful, nor angry, “Have you seen such a record?”
Bai Changfeng didn’t speak.
But that was as good as admitting.
Jiangli curved his lips, “Then do you think it’s true?”
Bai Changfeng frowned, “I don’t think… it should be like that. If the abbot really killed so many people, there should be grave sins and damaged karmic virtues, but I see that the abbot has great rit and doesn’t seem like an evil person.”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli chuckled softly, “You are the first to think I don’t seem like an evil person.”
Bai Changfeng was taken aback.
He had not yet reacted.
Jiangli continued, “You feel I have great rit, but to , this rit is a sin, weighing down. I would rather have no such rit.”
Bai Changfeng was bewildered again.
He… didn’t quite understand what Jiangli ant by this.
However, Jiangli waved his hand, with no intention of explaining further, “If that’s all you ca to ask, and you’ve asked it, then head back. I’m feeling tired.”
Seeing her unwillingness to elaborate, Bai Changfeng could only suppress his doubts and took his leave.
Xun Tianhai waited outside for a while. Seeing him co out alone, he took a sip of tea and stood up to ask, “Why are you coming out alone? Where’s the abbot?”
Bai Changfeng said, “The abbot is a bit tired and asked to leave first.”
Xun Tianhai said, “Oh, then shall we head back?”
Bai Changfeng nodded, greeted Qing Yue and Xia Xin, then left first.
As he left, he was still a bit dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about. He glanced back at the study, the door still tightly closed.
What Jiangli told him must have been the truth.
Which ans the records are not to be trusted.
