Shi Tianwei was very happy, the pig demon was captured, and the forces behind him were said to have been uprooted, and what threatened the lives of the villagers no longer existed, so what awaited them next would be a really good day.

In this way, he does not have to be ashamed of the people of Taiping Village.

In order to celebrate, Shi Tianwei mobilized the people of the whole village and set up a grand flowing water banquet, although many people did not understand the cause and effect, but this was launched by their beloved Lizheng, so everyone was very positive.

The banquet was very rich, Shifang and Wu Daozi were very satisfied, and even the pig demon who was tied to Shi Tianwei's house was given two pieces of pork, of course, he didn't eat it, but it can be seen that he was not unhappy.

Shi Tianwei took the old people with a lot of status in the village to toast Wu Daozi and Shifang, explained the reason to those old people, and repeatedly stated that they were the benefactors of the village.

Suddenly, an old man asked, "Then, don't the strong men in the village need to go to the Wuyin Mountain for night duty?" ”

"Of course, you don't have to go to the Fog Hidden Mountain for the night anymore. I believe that after a while, everyone's body will recover. Shifang was in high spirits and replied loudly, the feeling of doing good deeds is cool. He didn't see it, Wu Daozi left there silently with a glass of wine.

"Then, will the mountain god of the Fog Hidden Mountain never bless everyone again?" Another old man asked, as soon as this question came out, the scene was quiet, and dozens of pairs of expectant eyes stared at the ten directions, which was the question they were most concerned about.

Shi Fang felt a little awkward in his heart, and didn't know how to answer this question, and Shi Tianwei next to him was also a little embarrassed and retreated behind the crowd. Shifang did not hide it, and said: "In the Fog Hidden Mountain, there has never been a mountain god. ”

Wu Daozi sighed softly at the gap between the walls.

"No, little master, you definitely don't know, in the past, as long as we were willing to go to Wuyin Mountain to watch at night, Taiping Village would always have good weather and abundant grains." An old man insisted.

"That's it." Everyone responded again and again.

Shifang looked at Shi Tianwei in the crowd, at this time his face was full of shame, this Lizheng, thinking of the more than 3,000 villagers in Taiping Village, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he looked at himself fixedly. For the sake of the villagers, he didn't even tell them all the inside information, but threw this hidden pressure on himself, but I couldn't do anything about it.

"In the past, it was because there were demons who wanted to absorb the yang energy of the strong men of Taiping Village, so they cast spells to satisfy everyone, and now, now, they have been driven away by us......" Shifang's voice became smaller and smaller, he didn't know how to express it, and he couldn't tell everyone that if he and Wu Daozi hadn't come here, within a year, all the living beings in Taiping Village would have been killed by the Corpse King, and they could be said to have saved the lives of the entire village, and there was another point, that is, in order to condense the Corpse King, the people behind the scenes had overdrawn and even destroyed the spiritual veins of Wuyin MountainIn the next few years, the climate in Taiping Village may be even worse than three years ago.

Hey, what about Senior Wu, Shifang looked around, but he didn't see the figure of Senior Wu, and his spiritual sense immediately spread, and he found his lonely figure at the entrance of the village.

"Then let's go and beg that pig demon, he, maybe he will find a way." An old man said.

"Yes, let's go beg him." A group of people flocked to Shi Tianwei's mansion.

Shifang was suddenly a little disheartened, he looked at the crowd passing by him, shook his head, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

In the early spring, there are occasional new green grass on the road quietly probe, as if feeling the call of the spring breeze, the bark of the old man's chapped skin that has been tortured by the north wind for a winter also begins to slowly fall off, a few points of green and yellow from the branches to the sun, a vibrant season is coming, but all this can not make Shifang a little happy, because he knows that this vibrant scene is destined not to include Taiping Village.

Wu Daozi's figure was in front of him, and Shifang walked over quietly and sat down directly beside him.

"Senior ......"

"I know, come, take a sip. A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows. Wu Daozi handed over a wine gourd.

Shifang waved his hand, "No need, I get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, and I wake up sad, senior, I don't understand, it's not our fault, but when I see the eyes of those villagers, I still feel as if I did something wrong." ”

"Then you say, what is wrong with you? Shouldn't you help them kill the Corpse King? Looking at Shifang with a blank face, Wu Daozi sighed again, and said helplessly: "It's still Lord Lizheng's smartness, but it's a pity that he overestimated us, this kind of thing, we really have more than enough heart and not enough power." ”

Shi Fang lowered his head, "Actually, there is no need for him to do this, if he can help, I am still very happy to do this kind of thing that is beneficial to others." ”

Shifang's eyes have no focus, more of that kind of depression that can't be dissolved, this trip to Taiping Village, just to let the old man's soul have no regrets before being reincarnated, I thought it was to capture a little demon, who would have expected that so many things would be involved.

"Little monk, you don't have to take it to heart, there are some things that you really can't ask for." Looking at Shifang's still frustrated expression, Wu Daozi pushed him until he came back to his senses and continued to ask, "Then let me ask you, did you do your best?" ”

"Hmm." Shifang nodded indiscriminately.

"Did you almost die at the hands of the Corpse King?" Wu Daozifu asked again.

"Hmm." Shifang answered again.

"Isn't this over, and after doing everything to obey the destiny of heaven, how can everything go well? But I want to be worthy of my heart. Wu Daozi looked at the ten directions, and felt a little stunned in his heart, my generation of monks, how can they break free from the cage of the Heavenly Dao before they truly become gods?

"But I'm ashamed, if, if I had known this was the outcome, I would have rather not acceded to the ghost's request in the first place."

"You still don't understand, this has nothing to do with you, the Buddha emphasizes cause and effect, maybe this kind of disaster in Taiping Village is the retribution they should suffer, you don't think so."

Shifang was speechless for a while, but after enlightenment, his heart was also more comfortable, "Senior, is your wine strong?" ”

"There's more than a few kinds of wine in my gourd, have you forgotten?"

"I'm a god!" Shifang took the conversation, laughed, and at the same time grabbed the gourd, poured a large sip of wine, and poured the hot stream that tore his throat into his abdomen, and the tears of his cough flowed down, but he didn't stop, and poured a few big mouthfuls.

Wu Daozi took back the wine gourd in distress and said, "The cow chews the peony, and the heavenly things are violent, you still have to worry about it." ”

"Senior, isn't wine just for relieving sorrows? What I drink is not a taste, but a mouthful of liberation, Amitabha. ”

"Are you feeling better, then?"

Shifang shook his head, "Maybe it's too little, why don't I take a few more sips?" ”

"That's it, I have too little experience, I can't see it, it's okay, and it's not necessary to drink." Wu Daozi looked at the little monk in front of him, and secretly admired in his heart, it was very rare to have such a cultivation at such an age. It's a pity that my own experience is a little less, I know that you have been greatly created in the netherworld, but you still can't see through, the heart changes with the environment, and the heart is born from the heart, although I don't know much about the Buddha's way, but the avenue is invisible, but it is also the same way.

Little monk, believe in cause and effect, you will not complain or get carried away, believe in karma, you will not see painful things as eternal, lucky things, think that they are real, at your age, it is good to have such a compassionate heart, but it is a little difficult to impose responsibility on yourself, alas......

"Immortal Chief...... Immortal ...... Fast...... Quick, I can't stop the villagers. Shi Tianwei ran over panting, and said breathlessly.

"What? Are the villagers still going to do something to us? Wu Daozi's face turned cold.

"No, no, the villagers found the pig demon, and even begged bitterly, hoping that he could ensure that the wind and rain in Taiping Village were smooth, but the pig demon said that he couldn't do it, for this reason, the villagers were angry and wanted to cremate the pig demon to sacrifice to the sky!" Shi Tianwei slowed down for a moment, and finally told the truth of the matter.

"The pig demon aided the abuse, and if he died, he would die, and if he could alleviate the anger of the villagers, it would be worth it." After Shifang heard it, he said excitedly, "By the way, didn't he beat you twice, it stands to reason that you are the one who hates him the most." ”

"But he, usually treats us well, and even sent a lot of wild ginseng and He Shou Wu, if you kill him like this, I always feel uneasy on my conscience." Shi Tianwei said with some contradictions.

"Then you put pressure on me in secret just now, and your conscience is justified?"

"For the sake of the 3,000 people in Taiping Village, the little master just asked for Shi's life, and Shi will never frown." Shi Tianwei looked straight into Shifang's eyes and said.

Shifang looked at him for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "I can't control so much, a pig demon, the villagers are free to deal with it." ”

"Nonsense!" Wu Daozi said coldly.

Shifang looked at Wu Daozi in surprise and asked, "Senior, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What's wrong? You're embarrassed to say it. Wu Daozi was obviously a little angry, "What did that pig demon do that hurts the heavens and reason, you indiscriminately allowed the villagers to bury him alive?" Do you agree to quench the anger of the villagers with the death of the pig demon? ”

"Senior, the pig demon is an accomplice, so that the five hundred strong men have lost a lot of yang energy, and they have to live for at least ten years, such a big crime, shouldn't they be severely punished, although killing him is a bit excessive, but it is not unreasonable."

Wu Daozi did not argue, and instead asked Shi Tianwei: "Master Shi, this Wuyin Mountain is dozens of miles away, is there only one village in Taiping Village?" ”

"No, I remember that there were three or four villages to the north and west of Wuyin Mountain, but the situation was similar to that of us, and they were all very poor."

"Do you know what happened to them now?"

Shi Tianwei shook his head and said: "I don't know, firstly, the pig demon does not allow us to go out, and secondly, since we were isolated by the town three years ago, few people in Taiping Village go out, and all the needs are sent by the pig demon. However, I heard from the night watchman that I didn't find anyone from other villages. ”

Wu Daozi's face was a little angry, this is very different from his previous image, Shifang is a little uncomfortable, just a pig demon, as for it?
