"Why don't you wait for him to finish? Are you still afraid of what he said?"
Shen Xichen held the jade pendant tightly in his hand and cast a spell to make the person in the jade pendant fall asleep, because he was on guard at this moment, even though he was facing an immortal cultivator who had been injured and lost the ability to move.
Why he is called an immortal cultivator is because Shen Xichen is not sure who the person in front of him is, but his intuition tells him that this person is by no means simple. His cultivation and ability are definitely not as shallow as he shows, but his skills are so simple. A tiger demon was injured like this, and the last words the tiger demon said were obviously directed at him. It was self-evident that he was so eager to silence him.
But Shen Xichen had no intention to explore these. He didn't care about the grudges between them, and he didn't want to know what kind of person he was. However, Ayu's existence was already obvious. Since he had killed the tiger demon, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not Will take action against Ayu.
But no matter who he is, as long as he takes action, whenever he dares to take action, Shen Xichen doesn't mind being a villain and killing him while he's injured.
"This tiger monster is harming others. When I meet him, he is a cultivator of immortality. When he encounters this, he will not stand idly by just like you saved me. Monsters act cunningly and are good at deceiving people. It is common for them to beat them up when they know they are about to die. If there is something wrong, I just want to kill it because I don’t want it to confuse the public anymore and to do justice for heaven.”
After the man in black finished speaking, he saw that the person in front of him did not relax, so he knew that this person was definitely not a mob, but a person who relied on his own ability to argue right from wrong. However, he did not see any other actions, and he also understood that he actually did not care about the tiger monster. Even if he finds a normal excuse, he won't dig into it. What he cares about now is probably the talking jade pendant.
When the jade pendant made a sound, the man in black realized the existence of other "spirit bodies". Because the jade pendant was covered with the spiritual power belonging to the man in white, he was unable to notice it. However, this monster was strange. , even he had never seen one in such a form. Looking closely at the jade pendant, it turned out to be a very familiar bluish-white color. Although the styles and colors of jade pendants were common, he was convinced that this jade pendant was the one in his memory. Only the touch of green in the center of the jade pendant is different from before. But what interested him most was the existence of this possessed creature. This discovery was truly unprecedented. Although he really wanted to get this jade pendant, he still gave it up in his current state. He was not in a hurry. He knew that the man in front of him would definitely be able to keep the jade pendant.
"Little brother, don't be nervous. You saved me. You are my savior. This monster is really difficult to deal with today. Thank you for your help, brother. Although I can't move now, I don't have to worry about my name. My companions will come to find me later. You Just leave. After saying so much, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Jin Mu, a loose immortal. If we meet again by chance in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water if necessary."
Shen Xichen is a smart man, so he naturally heard the other meaning of these words. He did not mention the jade pendant in the whole process, which means that he will never mention Ayu's existence again after this incident. The inability to move means that he is unable to do anything now. Other things reassure me. In this case, he didn't want to stay here any longer, "Fellow Taoist, take it easy." After saying his name, he picked up his baggage and left without leaving any trace.
Looking at the departing figure, Jin Mu was thoughtful. He is really a conceited person. He is so sure that he does not need help from others. They are all interesting people. He has gained a lot from this trip.
It wasn't until Odamura could be seen in the distance that Shen Xichen relaxed his hand holding the jade pendant and tied it around his waist. Xiaotian Village is located 20 miles southwest of Qingfeng Town. It is a small village affiliated to Qingfeng Town. It has a population of less than 100 households and has been a hard-working people who are good at farming for generations.
When you see Oda Village, you know that it's not far from Qingfeng Mountain.
But the closer we get to Oda Village, the more strange things become. Summer has entered and the wheat seedlings are about to bear ears. At this time, the fields should be weeding and removing insects. It is definitely not like it is now, covered with weeds and no one is working. Shen Xi thought to himself that something was wrong and he quickened his pace. He was afraid that something might happen to Xiaotian Cun.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw men, women, old and young all wearing white scarves to cover their mouths and noses. Many people were sitting on small stools outside the house, fanning medicine stoves with cattail fans. The whole village was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and there were several other households. There were even mourning flags hanging under the eaves. When Shen Xichen saw this scene, he roughly understood what happened, but he didn't know why this disaster happened, and he didn't know if he had a chance to help, so he asked the nearby people. The old woman asked for details.
The old lady's face was full of sorrow. When she heard that people from other villages wanted to help, she hurriedly waved her hand. Although she suffered a serious disaster, fortunately the matter has been resolved now. It turns out that not long ago, a plague broke out in Xiaotian Village, but this plague was weird. It did not kill people directly, but only tortured people severely. One after another, most people in the village fell ill.
Nothing happened in Qingfeng Town and nearby villages, but plague-related matters should never be taken lightly. At first, the town boss was afraid that the plague would spread to the town, so he ordered the town's gates to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. He was reluctant to send doctors to the village. There were so many people in the town, and the doctors were busy preventing the people in the town. People in other villages were even more frightened when they heard it was a plague. This delay lasted several days.
But as time goes by, only a few elderly people with old diseases have not overcome this hurdle. Other diseases may be mild or severe, but most of them linger on the bedside. Because there had been no news of a large number of deaths, the town boss relented and ordered two doctors to enter the village for diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, a good medicine that could effectively treat the disease was found near the village, and Oda Village slowly recovered. come over.
It was so sad that the old lady had to lower her head to cover her face and wipe away her tears. But who could she blame? But who should Xiaotian Village blame? None of them could blame them. She also wanted to thank God for opening his eyes and not destroying Xiaotian Village. Even if it is destroyed, at least there will be someone who can inherit Odamura.
Ayu had woken up before Shen Xi sank into the village. After listening to the old lady's story, Ayu didn't know whether this was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. If it had been a few days earlier, those who died would have had a chance to survive.
Shen Xi met the village chief, confirmed that Xiaotian Village was fine, and then said goodbye to the villagers who were seeing each other off. On the way out of Xiaotian Village, Ayu asked him that the people in Xiaotian Village seemed to have turned into monsters overnight. , did they do something wrong?
Shen Xichen did not answer her question, but told her another story.
Since ancient times, the gods in the sky have performed their own duties. There are gods who specialize in civil affairs, such as the well-known Yue Lao, who specializes in marriage. The four seasons change because there are four gods in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there are fairies responsible for the four gods. The weather changes like clouds, rain, etc. In the morning there is the morning glow fairy, and in the evening there is the sunset fairy. In addition to the civil service, there are also military positions. Some are in charge of the world's wars. Their subordinates are in charge of various weapons. Their main responsibility is to protect the literary immortals, as well as the emperor and officials in the mortal world. The immortals have deep spiritual power, but their mission is to serve the world. Do your best. But immortals are also mortal. The four gods of Yue Lao and others are just job titles. In fact, they have changed several times. To put it further, there is an immortal who specializes in diseases and plagues. But the plague does not fall just now. , some people here must have done something extremely sinful and contrary to the way of heaven, so the immortals will bring down varying degrees of plague according to the severity of the matter, but the road will not end the road for people. At this time, there will be immortals in charge of the elixir. Plant healing herbs, but whether you can find the medicine depends on chance. In the end, those who died because of the plague will be affected by the plague, and immortals will come here to burn soul-purifying incense to remove the evil spirits from their souls. The worldly atmosphere helps them rest in peace.
"Are you saying that the plague in Oda Village was really their fault and that they deserved it?"
"Do you still remember the traveling merchants we met on the road? The rumors they told came from all over the world, and the news is the most widespread." Shen Xichen pointed out.
"Xiaotian Village? The evil people in Xiaotian Village? Qingfeng Town? I only remember that the wealthy businessman who did a lot of dirty things in the capital seemed to have ancestors from Qingfeng Town." Ayu thought carefully about the caravans he met along the way. There aren't many, but after thinking about it, this person is the closest to Odamura.
"His ancestors were originally from Xiaotian Village. They went out after passing the examination. Xiaotian Village is also affiliated with Qingfeng Town. It's nice to say it."
"But it's all said that it was our ancestor. He made a mistake, but the one who suffered was Odamura, who was even more incomparable to him now. Why, it was obviously not them who made the mistake. What about the rich businessman? What punishment should he have? Why?"
Shen Xi sighed deeply as if to say to the self who once wanted to ask why: "Yes, why...that rich businessman also suddenly got a strange disease." But he spent a lot of money and searched for good people. Fang, after all, did not suffer much. After all, the mistake he made was against an ordinary boss. Maybe in the eyes of the immortals, it was not a big mistake. They must also be in trouble.
How should I punish this mistake? The imperial city he is in now? It's too big. The crime is not enough. Qingfeng Town where his ancestors came from? It's still too big, and the crime is not enough. Well, that small village, that small village with less than a hundred households, wasn't just right, and the crime came.
The same is true for immortals. Why bother to blame the town master who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Why blame ordinary people? It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Shen Xichen didn't say these words, as the stupid man couldn't think of so many reasons. This was enough, and she wouldn't be able to understand these things when he was around Shen Xichen.
"He deserves it, but are immortals so ignorant of right and wrong? Odamura was too unjust. They don't even know why they suffered this crime. It is the powerful who do evil, and it is the people who suffer. Not only Odamura, but other people as well. If this is the avenue, then it is a bullshit avenue." Ayu was so angry that she almost pointed at the noses of those immortals and cursed. Unfortunately, she was the least qualified and could only feel deeply sad for the ignorant people.
"You can scold louder. It's just in time. The sun is going down soon. Let those fairies who give out sunsets listen. Then let them call down the damn fairy and let you scold him fiercely. If you need it, I can help you. A handful." After saying that, he threw the jade pendant upwards, but didn't catch it and continued walking forward.
"Shen Xichen! Are you just leaving like this?"
"You can't fly on your own."
"Shen Xichen! It's normal for you to make up lies!"
"If you know it, hurry up and catch up. We have to get to Qingfeng Town before dark."
Summer night is approaching, and the cicadas start chirping at an unknown time. If you listen carefully, you will find that the girl's voice seems to be angry, but the young man's laughter is wanton and hearty.
The weeds in the field are still growing wantonly, sucking the nutrients from the young seedlings, but it’s okay, someone will come tomorrow.
