Chapter 16: The Boundary Between Good and Evil

"And then? What happened to that Gu Eagle later? Wu Xi asked Xu Xing eagerly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You don't seem to care about the safety of those villagers, you only think about Gu Eagle." Xu Xing suddenly changed his words.

"These people are bound to die a miserable death, and I think the Gu Eagle will definitely not let them go. But they all brought it on themselves, and they deserved it. After Wu Xi finished speaking, he found that Xu Xing looked at himself meaningfully, this look Wu Xi had seen before, when she was kidnapped in Songjian Tower, Xu Xing stared at her with this kind of eyes. Her eyes were full of temptation and curiosity, as if she were a monster in human skin, and he was trying to uncover the mask of hypocrisy on her face.

"How...... What's wrong? I just think that those villagers don't distinguish between right and wrong, so ...... Actually, that's what I said, and I didn't want them to die. Wu Xi suddenly felt the need to explain, but she didn't know what she wanted to explain to Xu Xing.

But fortunately, Xu Xing had returned to normal, and he continued to tell Wu Xi the story.

According to the county annals, the Ming soldiers also came to the valley in pursuit of the deserters, and when they arrived, they found that the valley was littered with human corpses, and a huge strange bird that they had never seen before was sucking the remaining brain marrow on the corpses. What surprised them even more was that there was a living person on the stone bridge next to the stream, but he seemed to have gone crazy, sitting on the railing of the bridge, and only chanting vigorously: "Meet a butterfly, meet a butterfly, haha, meet a butterfly." Seeing this situation, those Ming soldiers quietly withdrew from this place, hurriedly returned and told the matter to the general at that time, General Yuan Chonghuan. General Yuan did not dare to act rashly after hearing such strange things, but found a very famous Taoist priest named Ma Maniac to give him advice.

The Taoist priest told General Yuan that this was a bird and not an ordinary beast, but a demon beast, so ordinary methods had no effect on it. The only way to seal it up was to pour stones over its lair while it was submerged, and the Taoist priest then took out a few charms and told them to stick them on the stones so that they would never suffer again.

General Yuan sent an army to ambush near the Jade Butterfly Bridge for three days and three nights, and finally waited for the Gu Eagle to return to the lair in the water, so they sealed it with a stone with a spell attached to it according to the Taoist priest's method.

"If it's sealed, why did it come out?"

"I checked the newspaper, the city government of D not long ago widened and renovated the Weishui River, I guess, it was this project that broke the seal of the Gu Eagle and allowed it to be reborn. I thought it was eating people because it was hungry, so I didn't want to kill it, and I thought about luring it back into the mountains. But when I learned about the history of the Jade Butterfly Bridge, I realized that its killing of people was out of hatred, and if it was not stopped, the bloodshed would not stop at all, so when I came out of the library that day, I went to find Lu Wu and came back. ”

The horns of the Gu Eagle had already dried, and Wu Xi grabbed it and put it in his pocket.

"What, aren't you afraid?"

"Xu Xing, no matter what you think, I still think it's not wrong, human nature is far darker than what we see. Lu Shiheng, Lu Hanjie, Jia Jicheng and those villagers, these people, they don't deserve to live in this world, they have caused so much pain to others, why can they live so freely? ”

"However, you still choose to forgive him."

Wu Xi didn't expect him to suddenly mention Zhu Yu, and couldn't help but say for a while: "He's ...... He's not like them. ”

"Everyone feels that they have a reason to do evil, but even so, wrong is wrong, and this cannot be argued. But Wu Xi, even if they do wrong, there is no one in this world who can arbitrarily make a judgment on other people's lives. ”

"Xu Xing, you are very strange today because ...... She? ”

The air seemed to be frozen suddenly, Xu Xing and Wu Xi looked at each other and neither of them spoke, and neither of them could say a word. With a "bang", the door of the room was suddenly slammed open, and the two fat monks stood at the door angrily and waved their fists: "Xu Xing, you tell us clearly, why do you want to kill us all." ”
