Chapter 888: The Superior and the Lesser People, Justice and Protection
The girl of the Ye family and the shopkeeper went to the back to deliver the goods, and the two little demons 'Golden Full Box' and 'Grain Full Warehouse' acted as porters, thinking about whether they could get some wine to drink for a while.
And in the store, Xiao Er also told Ziyun and Zhuge Leng about the monsters on Xiaoding Mountain. Only then did Ziyun understand the situation here, although the monsters on this road did not do evil wantonly, but they were not good, at least one of them was the king of the mountain, and there was a sin of robbing a passing merchant traveler.
But now in troubled times, don't talk about monsters, and the strongmen who fall everywhere are also unknown. I don't know if the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, or if it's afraid of causing trouble if it comes out, so it doesn't come down to harm the town.
Ziyun also asked the shopkeeper that the people in this town could really live with these monsters, and the shopkeeper explained with a wry smile.
If it's not my race, how can people be willing to coexist with youkai? But now youkai don't do harm, they just come to make a deal, on the one hand, there is no high-end armed resistance in the town, and on the other hand, they are really afraid of annoying the monster and hurting people, so they endured it.
To be honest, there are monsters on Xiaoding Mountain, and many villagers who live on the mountains dare not enter the mountains, which means that the monsters monopolize the mountain goods and the resources of Xiaoding Mountain. Secondly, because of the robbery of the leopard, many merchants no longer take this road, as the only inn in this town, the business can be imagined. Even so, when the monster comes to do business, he has to welcome him with a smile, and the innkeeper is not aggrieved in his heart?
Ziyun probably understood, this monster is a harm here, but it is not serious, at least the people in this town are just secretly hating, and it has not yet reached the depths of the water. In that case, when you leave tomorrow, you can go up the mountain to get rid of the monsters on the way.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a man and a woman approached the inn outside. Both of them were carrying swords, and they didn't look very old. The clothes worn are also very similar, only some patterns and colors are different.
The man said, "Little second brother!"
"Hey, here, what do you have to say?"
The man said, "Help us prepare some meals and two more rooms." ”
"Okay, are you going to eat on this floor, or do you want to open the guest room first and send it up later?"
The man turned around and asked, "What do you see, junior sister?"
The woman said, "Let's eat first, senior brother, I'm tired, I'll go to the room after eating." ”
The man nodded: "Let's prepare the meal first." The taste is lighter, and my sister doesn't like it to be too salty and spicy. ”
"Okay, you two sit here. ”
When the three of them were talking, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng also noticed this, and Zhuge Leng whispered: "It's from Jinguangmen." ”
Ziyun nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, these two people should be 'Thunder Sword Rain' Xing Jianyuan and 'Flying Spiritual Wind' Gu Chuxin, I didn't expect the two of them to come here." ”
Jinguangmen is also well-known in the southern martial arts, it is a sect that attaches equal importance to cultivation and martial arts, the most famous is the 'Golden Spirit Sixteen Swords' This set of sword tricks, the spell is basically a few sets of thunder spirit and wind spirit spells. It's not so much a monk as a Jianghu man who knows a few tricks.
A few decades ago, it was considered a decent family of some scale in the south, but later there were many disasters and many casualties. Nowadays, there are only more than 60 people in the entire sect, and most of the disciples are still very immature, and they can only walk the rivers and lakes without the company of the elders of the sect.
Therefore, the disciples of the Golden Light Sect who can go out of the mountain alone at this age, that is, a few people such as 'Thunder Sword Rain' Xing Jianyuan and 'Flying Spiritual Wind' Gu Chuxin, it is not surprising that Ziyun guessed from this.
Although I think so, who the two of them are and what they are going to do has nothing to do with Ziyun, occasionally I meet a person from the rivers and lakes, and after tomorrow, they will go their separate ways, so it is not worth paying much attention to.
At the same time, the heart and soul in the pharmacy finally got the medicine. The prescription she prescribed was not complicated, but there were also two flavors of medicine that were used in very small quantities on the market, and the people from the pharmacy went to the back to get them, so it was delayed for some time. After inquiring about the location of the inn, he walked towards the inn with his heart.
And here at the inn, before the dishes of the Jinguangmen brothers and sisters were ready, the innkeeper came out from the back with the Ye family girl, as well as the 'Golden Full Box' and the 'Grain Full Warehouse'.
Senior sister Gu Chuxin shouted: "Monster!" Then he pulled out his sword, flipped the table and stabbed directly at the two little demons.
The sudden change shocked everyone present, and the golden box was stabbed by Gu Chuxin's sword, and immediately pushed away the Ye family girl to dodge, although it was only a little demon, after all, it was an animal change in the mountains, and he was very alert to the crisis. Combat effectiveness may not be good, but there is also a hand in dodging and moving, but if you don't live long, you can't cultivate into a monster.
Although this female wisdom ape came for herself, it would not be good if she accidentally injured Uncle Ye's daughter. So Jin Manshu pushed Miss Ye away first to dodge, and it was precisely because of this decision that he was half a point slower, although he dodged the long sword, he was still scratched by the sword qi on his arm.
The actions at this moment were clearly seen by Ziyun and Zhuge Leng , although the secret path is a monster, it is not a ruthless and unrighteous person.
Seeing that the senior sister made a move, the senior brother Xingjian Yuan also pulled out his long sword: "Senior sister, I'll help you!" After that, he was ready to make a move and block the way out of the two little demons together.
Gu Chuxin shot too fast just now, and the others didn't react, and now the innkeeper finally said: "Two, two guest officers, please stop!" Although these two monsters are demons, they haven't done anything evil, they just came to the shop to sell mountain goods. ”
It's not that the innkeeper is talking for this monster, in fact, he also wants someone to go up the mountain to get rid of the demon, but he doesn't want this battlefield to be in his own inn, on the one hand, he is afraid that the inn will be smashed, on the other hand, he is also worried that the two little demons will die in their own house, in case these two young people throw their hands away, what if the monsters on the mountain are implicated? But whenever they go out of this town, or even out of their own inn door, they can fight as much as they like, don't look at the 'Golden Full Box' and 'Grain Full Warehouse' are also considered regular customers, but the innkeeper has no friendship with them.
Gu Chuxin said: "A demon is a demon, of course you have to get rid of it, you get out of the way quickly, I don't care if it hurts." ”
Compared with the unreasonableness of the junior sister, as the senior brother, Xingjianyuan of course has to show a decent appearance: "We are entrusted by the Marquis of Chu to clean up the evil monsters in the territory, I have long heard that there are monsters on Xiaoding Mountain as a disaster, cut the path to and from the business trip, we are here to get rid of the demons, since we dare to swagger down the mountain, it can be seen what the town under the mountain has been plagued by this monster." ”
Gu Chuxin said bluntly: "Senior brother, you don't have to say much to them, take down these two little demons first, and go up the mountain to destroy the demon cave." With a wave of his sleeves, a strong fan came out. The entire lobby was suddenly in a mess, and the gold box and grain warehouse were slapped on the wall, and the innkeeper and the Ye family girl hid aside, and were bumped by the scattered debris from time to time.
Ziyun's table was also affected, but the master and servant pressed their palms to stabilize the table directly, and the wine and food were not overturned at all.
There was a customer in the store just now, who ran away as early as when Gu Chuxin started, and in the end he didn't even pay for the meal. And now the tables and chairs in the entire lobby are lying sideways, and only Ziyun is left to sit at a table, which is very abrupt.
Ziyun secretly thought, this girl's wind spirit immortal technique, the heat is not enough at all. Don't say that you can't control the enemy in a directional way, if you are in the wild, it will be fine, and fighting in the house will definitely harm others and yourself.
Xing Jianyuan also waved his sword and stepped forward: "Senior sister, one by one, a quick battle!"
Just when the swords of the two were stabbed, a figure suddenly appeared, only to hear two crisp knocks, the attack of the two was instantly resolved, and the senior brother and sister were suddenly startled, so fast.
Of course, the person who shot was Ziyun, he saved the two little demons, in addition to the righteousness of Nian Zai who pushed away the Terran girl just now, but also felt that the pair of senior brothers and sisters did not shoot lightly or heavily, this blow continued, although the monster was dead, but the entire inn had to penetrate half of the wall. If it's really a strong enemy who has to fight, it's not necessary, it's really unnecessary to fight two little demons.
Xing Jianyuan arched his hand and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, why do you want to stop us from exterminating demons?"
Ziyun smiled: "Hezhou, Ziyun." ”
Xing Jian was taken aback: "There are few blue blood swords?"
Ziyun also said politely: "Don't dare to be, the two of them are the 'Thunder Sword Rain' Xingjian Yuan Shaoxia and the 'Flying Spiritual Wind' Gu Chuxin Woman." ”
At the beginning, Ziyun opened a killing ring in Hezhou, because he was avenging his father and echoing the values of the public, and he killed all the Song Army officers who were evil, not only did he have a bad reputation, but he was also praised as 'Blue Blood Annihilation', so the Southern Martial Arts had a nickname of a few blood swords.
"It's the two of us, I don't know why the Blue Blood Sword Shao stopped us from slaying demons and destroying demons?"
Ziyun explained: "I have also heard about the things here, this demon king is not a good type, and I am also going to go up the mountain tomorrow to get rid of it." It's just that these two little demons haven't done anything evil, so why bother killing in vain. Since the two of you are here to eliminate harm for the people, look at the surroundings, what are you protecting?"
The two looked left and right but didn't care, Gu Chuxin spoke first: "That monster is entrenched in the mountains, robbing merchants, and also hurting people's lives, if you don't get rid of it, I don't know what evil things will be done, the master told us, to implement justice, eliminate evil, how many fellow disciples do not hesitate to lose their lives, just a few tables, chairs and dishes, compared to killing demons and demons What is it!?"
As soon as he heard this, Ziyun also sighed, he was most afraid of meeting such a master. Because the location is too high, it is always a little ungrounded. Slaying demons and destroying demons is indeed a righteous move, and it is also to protect ordinary people. But what about the thoughts of ordinary people? If you go up to the mountains and fight, everyone will be happy. But if you run to someone's house to fight, ruin everything and make the other party look grateful, then there is really a ghost. Because they don't care about righteousness, they just want to live a good life.
Although the monsters on Xiaoding Mountain are forced to buy and sell, and rob passers-by, what does this have to do with ordinary people? What they are looking at with their hearts and minds are the pots and pans that these masters have destroyed with their hands and disdain. If the masters are all doing this, then they might as well go for the monsters.
Xingjian Yuan saw that Senior Sister was a little impulsive, so he said, "Senior Sister, don't be so rude. Zi Shaoxia, although my junior sister's words are straightforward, they also make sense. Chu Hou summoned the southern Xuanmen to pacify the demons in the territory, how many Taoist friends forgot to die, if they all took care of these corners, they were afraid that they would let go of the demons at the lightest, and at worst they would affect themselves. Zi Shaoxia is also a straightforward person, so why bother with these. ”
What they said, Ziyun has also heard of it, due to the chaos in the world, there are many monsters out of the mountain to cause trouble, and Chu Di has both stunned and short-term workers to deal with the organization of black work. Of course, there must also be a decent family on the official face. Therefore, at Ye Meidie's suggestion, Chu Hou summoned several Xuanmen sects, including Jinguangmen, and asked them to take action to control the demons in the territory.
The robbers and bandits were handed over to the officials and soldiers, the demons and monsters were handed over to the Xuanmen, and some inconvenient ones were taken care of by the stinging short-term workers, which was the Chudi security system built by Ye Meidie.
Therefore, young chivalrous warriors like Xing Jianyuan and Gu Chuxin traveled all over the south to kill demons and eliminate demons, and the monsters in Xiaoding Mountain robbed business travelers, and naturally some people would report the matter, so it is normal for someone to come over to eliminate demons.
Ziyun said: "Whether it is to eliminate demons or to uphold justice, it is not for the superficial reputation, but for the livelihood of the people." The reason why demons are evil is that they abuse the people. But if you talk about exterminating demons, but the means are also abusing the people, how should the people look forward to it? The innkeeper also stopped you just now, what do you think he is for?"
Xingjian Yuan didn't make a sound, Gu Chuxin said first: "You mean that we have become wicked people!?"
Ziyun said: "I just hope that the two of you can pay attention to the ways and means, if you can, why don't you let it go first, and I will accompany the two of you to go up the mountain to eliminate demons in a while, okay?"
Xing Jianyuan, who had been silent, said: "Zi Shaoxia, I know what you mean, but do you know how many hard battles we have experienced since we came down the mountain, and how many fellow disciples and fellow Daoists have been killed and injured. These people are sad for the little property they can earn back, but they don't know how many young people who should have a great future are buried in a foreign land for their sake? These two little demons are easy to let go, but when they go back, they will be prepared, how many unnecessary difficulties will this cause to me and my junior sister? Maybe the monsters will have a trick, and we will also die here. ”
Ziyun squinted at Xingjian Yuan, what he said was also reasonable, these small people were victimized by monsters, so they begged the monk to take action, and hoped that the monk would take care of his own wealth in addition to taking care of his own wealth, and blame the benefactor if he didn't go well. Over the years, it is not for nothing that the small people who were humble in advance and turned their faces afterwards.
If it is easy for the masters to be ungrounded, then these small people are easy to draw from the camp. To be honest, they all have annoying things about 'high-ranking people' and 'small people'.
Maybe it was Senior Brother's words that poked Gu Chuxin, she said directly: "Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense with him, he is just a person who takes revenge on his family, what qualifications do he have to talk about forgiveness of demons in front of us, we are running for justice, these people are standing behind but they are telling us to tie our hands and feet, you have the ability to get rid of the demon yourself!"
Ziyun also resisted with a sword, Gu Chuxin had two hands, but it was much worse than Ziyun who was crawling and fighting in the rivers and lakes, especially Ziyun's two-thorn ape swordsmanship was a rare fast sword in the world, and Gu Chuxin was naturally not an opponent now.
Xingjian saw that his junior sister made a move, and he didn't want to get involved, but seeing that Gu Chuxin had fallen into the disadvantage, he immediately drew his sword and rushed up: "Senior sister, be careful, I'll help you!"
The people outside the inn had already been watching from afar because of the fight in the store, and their hearts also came to the outside of the store and looked inside: "Wow, it's so lively!?"
As soon as she entered the store, she saw her brother and sister beating Ziyun.
