The next day, the door of Lu Mansion, which had been closed, finally opened.
However, after experiencing the strange phenomenon of the place changing color the night before, none of the nearby people dared to step forward to check. They all gathered around the alley and looked at the open door of Lu Mansion.
It wasn't until the government officials arrived and began to drive away the onlookers that the strange atmosphere gradually dissipated.
But even so, it couldn't stop the people from whispering.
The story that the Lu family had suffered a divine punishment and that only the eldest son of the Lu family and a posthumous son were left alive in such a large family, spread in Changsha County at an alarming speed.
As for one of the initiators of this incident?
Pei Wende was crying and staring at the large empty plate in front of him for a long time without saying anything.
"Are you too good to eat?"
It's not that Pei Wende is stingy, it's just that the little green snake is too edible.
I don’t know if I consumed too much last night, or if I just gave up on myself because I exposed the prototype...
The little green snake hasn't stopped eating since she came out of the Lu Mansion.
At first we just ate some breakfast snacks at roadside stalls, and later we ate at restaurants...
In the end, Pei Wende couldn't stand the way the people around him looked at him like freaks, so he directly found a hotel room and had people bring food to him.
Because the little green snake never showed up, others only saw Pei Wende scanning goods and eating, eating all the way from the east to the west of the city.
Even a person as thick-faced and as dark-hearted as Pei Wende can't bear the pressure of his gaze, so he can only choose this compromise method to avoid the weird looks from others.
"Hey, how long are you going to eat?"
After ordering pork leg for Little Green Snake again, Pei Wende couldn't help but say.
"The old monk didn't give me much money to go down the mountain this time. This pork leg is my last money."
"If you really think it tastes good, let's buy some seasonings and I'll roast the whole pig for you. I guarantee it will taste better than what's here."
Hearing this, the little green snake finally stopped busy destroying the food on the table and turned to look up at Pei Wende next to him.
"hiss!"
Since the root chakra was constructed and opened, the little green snake's physical qualities and abilities have been greatly enhanced in all aspects.
This includes its digestion ability. After eating so much, its body shape has not changed at all, and it looks no different from usual.
However, corresponding to this amazing physical fitness, the little green snake needs to eat a lot to replenish its consumption every time it takes action.
In fact, this is the reason why the little green snake hasn't stopped eating since he came out of the Lu Mansion.
If it is in the mountains and fields, the little green snake can completely satisfy its own consumption by hunting other animals - this is the instinct of the overlord of the mountain forest.
However, in this county town that belongs to humans, the little green snake, who doesn't want to make too much noise, can only choose to use this method to fill his empty space.
Fortunately, the little green snake was not a real beast after all. It stopped after initially filling its hunger, and then kept its eyes on Pei Wende for a long time.
"Uh...actually what I mean is, are you still hungry?"
So facing the death-like gaze of the little green snake, Pei Wende decisively chose to give in and even used the honorific title unconsciously.
"If you're not full yet, we can eat slowly when we go back."
A touch of human disdain flashed in his eyes. The little green snake no longer intimidated Pei Wende with that terrifying gaze, but instead showed a look of curiosity.
"hiss!"
Hearing the neighing sound of the little green snake, Pei Wende was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly as if he understood.
"You want to ask, why didn't I destroy that 'coffin' like I destroyed the beauty's head?"
After experiencing last night's catastrophe, it was naturally impossible for Pei Wende to ignore the key figure who caused this catastrophe - Coffin.
But it is different from the ruthlessness Pei Wende showed before.
When facing the coffin that was curled up and whining in Lu Jun's arms, he did not kill as hard as he did against the red-clothed ghost and the beautiful woman.
In the eyes of the little green snake, this is simply an incredible thing.
You know, when it comes to the level of danger alone, the coffin that was born with the appearance of a ghost is much higher than ordinary ghosts.
Pei Wende was able to kill "beauties" such as the red-clothed ghost and the beautiful woman. No matter how hard he thought, he could not spare the more dangerous coffin subnet.
"Actually, if you really want to ask, the reason is very simple, that is, Coffin hasn't killed anyone yet."
This reason sounds a bit outrageous, but it is indeed the truest thought deep in Pei Wende's heart.
No matter how sad and pitiful the red-clothed ghost and the beautiful girl are, from Pei Wende's point of view, they are already evil ghosts who have committed murderous crimes and are obsessed with it.
On the other hand, although Coffin is far more dangerous than ordinary ghosts in the eyes of outsiders, it was a "victim" from beginning to end in this incident.
"I never think of myself as a judge. I just try my best to save those who can be saved."
With a slight sigh, Pei Wende didn't know whether his choice was correct.
But his education told him that killing someone in advance just because they may "have committed a crime" is itself a kind of violence above the law.
Even the saints once said, "One does not care about one's deeds but one's heart." How much more so for an ordinary person like me who cannot even compare to a saint?
"hiss!"
It seemed to be a mockery, but also seemed to be just a simple question...
The little green snake's neighing sound seems to be asking, if the coffin loses control and kills people later, will you regret it?
After all, once a natural ghost like Coffin loses control, the killing it causes is beyond what ordinary ghosts can match.
"Why do you want to think so far ahead?"
"What do you think you are? For God's sake?"
Spreading his hands in a very bachelor manner, Pei Wende knew that this was an unsolvable problem, just like the equally unsolvable tram problems in his previous life.
"What if Coffin Zi is influenced by Lu Jun's fatherly love?"
"You deny the infinite possibilities just because of one bad possibility. Your thinking itself has deviated from the right path."
In fact, Pei Wende disdains the so-called "good and evil" theory, because he never thinks that he is a decent person, and his behavior style also looks down on those pedantic "protagonists".
I will be afraid, frightened, and have a selfish side...
In Pei Wende's heart, he was just a mortal who accidentally embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and was not qualified to judge what other people did.
It's just that when teaching the little green snake, he always unconsciously instills what he considers to be "correct" ideas into the other person, in order to prevent it from becoming a real monster that brings trouble to the world.
"hiss!"
On the other hand, after listening to Pei Wende's story, the little green snake couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a long time.
At the same time, the little green snake felt as if he had a deeper understanding of the existence of "Pei Wende" - this wonderful human being who always seems to be able to strike a delicate balance between "Vajra's angry eyes" and "my Buddha's compassion".
