Taiping Inn

Before Li Xuandu asked, Yan Feiqing took the initiative to say: "I didn't expect that old man Zang had left a third trick, which was very vicious. Fortunately, it was burned with peach wood. If it was left alone or buried with soil, Niu Er would rise after three days. Although he was not as good as the two corpse girls, he was probably equivalent to a warrior in the Xuanyuan realm. It was still easy to slaughter the people in the town."

Li Xuandu looked at the green flame and said: "No wonder we felt that Niu Er still had a glimmer of life at that time. It turned out that he was surviving from death. If we wanted to save Niu Er because of this glimmer of life, or let him go, we would kill hundreds of people because of a thought of kindness."

Yan Feiqing showed disgust on his face, "Calculating the good of others and doing evil for oneself, this person's heart should be killed."

Li Xuandu exhaled a long breath and said: "Devilish tricks."

Hu Liang gently stroked the "Grand Master" on his waist and said: "Old Man Zang, even if he is placed in the ten evil sects Among them, he can be called a well-deserved villain, and a very pure villain. Qin Zheng, the ‘Heavenly Sword’, commented on him: ‘Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but Zang Lao Ren can be regarded as a tiger that eats its own cubs.’ Looking at him, he does not follow the rules of the martial arts world at all, does not care about the friendship between fellow disciples, despises the seniority and inferiority, has killed his master before, and even kills his subordinates at will. It is said that among Zang Lao Ren’s disciples, there are many who have broken hands and feet, or are blind and deaf, all thanks to him. Before the Great Zhou National Master Xu Wugui helped the Zaoge Sect, the reason why the Zaoge Sect was on the verge of extinction was certainly because of too many enemies in the past, but the leader Zang Lao Ren was also to blame. ”

Li Xuandu said: “Zang Lao Ren can get this evaluation among the ten evil sects that have always acted without scruples, which shows how unbearable he is.”

Yan Feiqing stopped talking, but took out a stack of “evil-breaking talismans” drawn with cinnabar yellow paper from the “Qiankun Bag” and put them into the flames like adding firewood.

The creepy green flame suddenly "soared" up high, the flames flickered, and there was also a violent crackling sound.

Li Xuandu was not moved at all, and continued to "add firewood". The green flame's previous rampage seemed to be the last flash of life, and soon it entered the end of its strength. Its arrogance weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. After Yan Feiqing added twelve talismans in succession, the color of the flame finally changed from green to normal fiery red.

Niu Er, who was not burned at all in the flames, was immediately engulfed by the flames. After about an hour, he turned into a handful of ashes.

After seeing the strange scene before, the people in the town were unwilling to collect the ashes, fearing that they would be contaminated by bad luck or be entangled by some unclean things. In desperation, Yan Feiqing could only agree to draw a talisman for the villagers, which could not only drive away evil spirits and avoid filth, but also prolong life. These people had seen Yan Feiqing's methods before, and naturally believed in the ability of this immortal master. At this time, hearing what the immortal master said, they rushed forward to collect Niu Er's ashes, and finally put them in a half-new earthenware jar, and found a good place at the foot of Dongshan Mountain and buried them hastily.

In fact, the talismans given by Yan Feiqing were just the simplest ones. They had the basic effect of driving away evil spirits, but if they said that they could prolong life, it was completely fictitious, and at most they played a role in reassuring people.

Yan Feiqing has seen this kind of thing many times and is no longer surprised. As the saying goes, the grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. Most people fear power but not virtue. If it involves their own interests, they will not listen to reason with them. However, if they are threatened by tough means, it will be effective. Yan Feiqing, as a righteous person and the head of the Zhengyi Sect, the leader of the righteous way, naturally will not act like the evil people. So at this time, he can only lure them with benefits, which is not much different from the methods of the old man Zang. But then again, there is no right or wrong in the art, it all depends on the person used.

As for why Yan Feiqing did not collect the ashes and bury them himself, it was not because he was proud of his status, but because he had arrangements to make later. After all, he could not stay in Jingzi Town forever, so these arrangements had to be completed by the people of Jingzi Town. If the people here were unwilling to collect Niu Er's ashes, then these arrangements would probably be difficult to implement. On the other hand, since they no longer have any taboos about Niu Er's ashes, they will probably not resist what Yan Feiqing will arrange next.

After burying Niu Er's ashes, the people felt much more at ease after receiving the talisman paper distributed by Yan Feiqing. They also agreed to Yan Feiqing's order to plant a peach forest at the original location of Dongshan Village.

The reason for doing so is that the two large formations laid by the old man Zang have polluted the earth veins of this place to a certain extent. Over time, it is inevitable that some evil places will be formed. The so-called evil places are places where yin and evil spirits gather. If a living person enters them rashly, it is easy to be deprived of his mind. At the least, he will get a serious illness after leaving the evil place, and at the worst, he will die directly in the evil place.

People often say that a certain place is evil and people often die, either by accident or by suicide. People call it "eating people", and such places are usually evil places. If enough people die in an evil place, it is called "eating greedily". The souls of the dead cannot be liberated. Just like a snowball, the evil spirit and resentment will grow bigger and bigger, and the place will become more and more "greedy". If left unchecked, it is likely to bring disaster to one side. At that time, people with sufficient Taoist skills will be needed to come and perform the ritual of salvation.

Yan Feiqing asked the people of Jingzi Town to plant peach trees in advance. Peach trees can ward off evil spirits. This is to prepare for the rainy day and prevent the birth of an evil land.

After listening to Yan Feiqing's explanation, Li Xuandu couldn't help but sigh: "When I was young, I was a hero, just for the sake of momentary pleasure, which often ended up with a difficult outcome. Those bullies who were temporarily subdued by force will continue to do evil after I leave. Those poor people may not live better because of my chivalry. After I leave, they will most likely continue to be bullied by them. In this regard, I am not as good as Brother Xuanji. If I were to do this, I would probably leave after the old man Zang left. As for whether Niu Er would rise from the dead and whether an evil land would be born here, it is something I can't take into account. . ”

Yan Feiqing smiled and said, “Brother Zifu, you are too kind. These are the experiences passed down from generation to generation in our Zhengyi Sect. After dozens of generations of continuous supplementation and improvement, we, the later generations, can be so comprehensive. I guess that when the ancestors walked the world to exorcise demons, most of them had shortcomings, and even suffered great losses in many things. Only in this way can we draw experience on how to deal with it and pass it on to later generations. ”

Hu Liang, who was standing aside, had been silent all the time, his palm habitually stroking the knife head of the "Grand Master", looking at the people who were secretly happy because one person got a talisman, his face was as gloomy as water.

After this incident, his impression of Yan Feiqing was much better. He had to admit that the young head of the Zhengyi Sect deserved the word "Zheng", but the faces of these people also brought back many unpleasant memories for him.

Yan Feiqing just said something, "People fear power but not virtue", he deeply agrees with it. He and Li Xuandu also did some chivalrous things in the past. Of course, they were not the female chivalrous fairies they joked about, but some odd and ends. What he remembered most was that the two of them rescued several scholars with honors from a group of bandits. These scholars who had just kneeled in front of the bandits and begged for mercy with snot and tears, immediately changed their faces after being rescued. Not only did they not thank them, but they also kept asking them why they didn't kill all the bandits.

If Li Xuandu hadn't stopped him at that time, he would have killed all these scholars who had read books into their stomachs.

Why can people be bullied?

Why do the better people suffer more grievances?

These scholars cried bitterly in front of the bandits because they knew that the bandits were evil and would beat them to death. And they put on the airs of scholars in front of Li Xuandu and Hu Liang because they knew that they were good people and would not do anything to them.

Bully the weak and fear the strong, bully the good and fear the evil, what kind of truth is this?

This is also the reason why Hu Liang never thought about being a good person after leaving the Butian Sect.

Such a good person is too aggrieved.
