The lame Taoist said with a smile:
"I'll give you two choices now, you can either kill them and break the formation.
Or I let the rebels kill hundreds of helpless old, weak, sick and disabled people.
They lost their family members and their survival was in doubt. I asked people to send them on their way, which was also a relief for them. "
Xu Xian said:
"What if I choose neither?"
The lame Taoist's face sank, his eyes burned with cold light, and he said coldly:
"Do you believe that I will turn the entire city of Hangzhou into a hell on earth?"
The lame Taoist changed from a submissive coachman to an executioner who used all living beings as a chess piece and wanted to force Xu Xian to surrender. Xu Xian was really not used to it.
Xu Xian didn't know the real strength of the lame Taoist for the time being, and he didn't know whether the other party was making false threats or if he really had that strength.
Xu Xian did not dare to test the lives of sentient beings. He could only express his indifference and appear utilitarian, so that the lame Taoist did not know his true thoughts.
Xu Xian said:
“You go kill people, and I go save people.
Your hands are stained with blood, you are riddled with sins, and you fall into an eternal hell.
I prove the Tao through merit and virtue, and become that carefree god?
Lai Xi, are you going to sacrifice yourself to fulfill me? "
"If you want merit, I will grant it to you."
The lame Taoist sneered:
"There are dozens of women and children hiding in a broken house in the north of the city. I will send people to kill them now. I will see how you can save them."
After finishing speaking, the lame Taoist said to Bao Daoyi:
"Baozi, send someone to kill those women and children.
No, the older ones will be killed, and the younger ones will be distributed among the brothers.
If you follow the Holy Duke to fight, I will definitely not treat you badly. "
"Yes, disciple, I obey!"
Bao Daoyi took the order and left.
The lame Taoist raised his hand, and as spiritual energy surged, a desolate scene appeared in the sky.
In a dilapidated courtyard, there were several young women in ragged clothes and as thin as bamboo poles.
They were digging roots, peeling bark, or picking leaves.
There were a few green fruits on the tree, which were too high for them to pick.
The smell of blood came from the house. In a dilapidated house, a middle-aged man with missing arms and legs was lying on the bed, bandaged slightly, and the blood dyed the gray-white cloth red.
A middle-aged woman was helping the middle-aged man scrub the wounds and replace the blood-stained cloths.
However, she had no medicine and could not stop the bleeding, so everything was in vain.
Beside the bed, two hungry children looked longingly at the middle-aged woman. They were hungry and wanted their mother to find food for them.
The middle-aged woman said:
"Shuang'er, Haizi, please be patient. When dad recovers from his injury, I will go outside to help you find food."
Hearing this, the older child said:
"Shuang'er is not hungry. Shuang'er wants to wait for dad to accompany me to catch fish in the river."
The younger child flattened his mouth and started crying, saying:
"Dad, Mom, Haizi is hungry, Haizi wants to eat fish."
The middle-aged woman touched Haizi's head and said:
"Haizi, be good, we will have fish to eat soon."
In another room in the courtyard, a young woman was taking care of an old man who was sick in bed.
In another room, two dying patients were lying.
…
In the dilapidated courtyard, everyone has his or her own desolation. Their lives are already miserable. As soon as Bao Dao Yi's people arrive, they will bid farewell to this world completely.
If there is no food or medicine, death may be a relief for them.
The lame Taoist said:
"They are already in dire straits. Am I doing good deeds by sending them on their way?
Under Da Chu's cruel rule, too many people were suffering, and they deserved redemption.
It doesn't matter whether you resist or die. Living quietly will only embolden the arrogance of corrupt officials. "
Xu Xian said:
“There are corrupt officials and good officials in Da Chu, but no official dares to blatantly treat human life as nothing.
Their corruption and frame-up are all done in secret. Only you dare to do anything blatantly.
When you rebel, you can rely on the support of the people. When you lose the support of the people, you will have nothing. "
The lame Taoist laughed ferociously and said:
"It's best for those stupid people to deceive. If I kill ten thousand people to establish my authority, and if I do some small favors, won't the people's hearts come back?"
At this moment, the cold mechanical voice of the system sounded:
"The lame Taoist is a person who can influence the situation in the misty world. Whenever the host makes a bet with the lame Taoist, I will do my best to help the host win the bet."
The system has given a guaranteed vote, so Xu Xian must follow the trend and said:
"Since you are so confident, how about we make a bet?"
The lame Taoist laughed wildly and said:
"Pindao has a big appetite. If you want to bet, we'll bet big.
If you lose, worship Pindao as your teacher, swear an oath with Taoism, and do your best to help your teacher become the first person in the three realms. "
Xu Xian said:
"If you lose, then worship me as your teacher, make an oath of heaven, establish the world with benevolence, have a heart to help the world, and learn medicine from me."
Xu Xian's bet was too scary. If he lost, he would lose everything and there would be no possibility of turning around.
Xu Xian dared to bet because he had systematic winning skills and the power of Shushan. He was very confident.
Although the lame Taoist wanted to subdue Xu Xian, he also knew that he needed to take his time. The game he set was enough to turn the Piaomiao World upside down, so there was no need to act impulsively.
The lame Taoist decided to go with the plan. The bet was too risky. It was a stupid thing that a passionate young man like Xu Xian would do.
How can the fate of a life be decided by a single bet, and how can one decide whether to win or lose over the course of hundreds of millions of years?
If you lose the bet, you will never be able to make a comeback.
The layout was cracked by Xu Xian, and he still has endless ideas. They are his works of art, and he hopes to see them blossom and bear fruit.
The Lame Taoist's layout was actually the work of two people, and they chose different ways.
The lame Taoist has the memory of his previous life, and is rejected by the rules of the misty world. His strength has limits. Because he has the memory of the past and controls the Tao of the past, his strength is already terrifying.
Fahai took another path. Fahai did not retain the memory of his previous life, but only had several more opportunities to be reborn. If he could prove the Tao in the Misty World, the rules of the Misty World would not affect him, and his strength would surpass that of the lame Taoist. .
However, Fahai's Taoism was flawed and he could never achieve perfect enlightenment, and his strength was not as good as that of a lame Taoist.
Before his enlightenment, Fa Hai could not awaken the memory of his previous life, and he did not even know what he was doing in the misty world.
Because of his encounter with Xu Xian, he lost three lives inexplicably, his cultivation fell to the bottom, and it took time to recover.
Judging from Fa Hai's failure, underestimating Xu Xian will lead to a disastrous loss.
Therefore, the lame Taoist shook his head and said:
“As I get older, I am not as impulsive as you younger generations.
You can gamble, but it's better to leave a way out.
For example, if you win, I will let you go. "
Xu Xian had many ways to leave, but he just didn't want to expose his strength and wanted to hide it as much as possible.
The lame Taoist's bet was of no use to Xu Xian.
Xu Xian said:
"According to your gambling method, if I lose and stay here for one more breath, can you accept this unreasonable bet?"
The lame Taoist laughed and said:
"I can accept."
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there is no rush. The lame Taoist just wants to know how Xu Xian can beat him.
