Hearing the confession of the altar master, Yan Shuqing had been very quiet all the time, but he frowned slightly with a pair of willow eyes in confusion:

"How can such a heinous and cruel act as burning a living person be used to deceive people?"

Shen Gui also frowned after hearing this, and explained to Yan Shuqing:

"Those ordinary believers who were bewitched by Zhang Yuan were originally loyal fans of the 'theory of ghosts and gods' from all walks of life. In their opinion, anyone who was captured by the Demon Suppression Venerable had already been eroded by the 'demonic nature', even if they looked no different from normal people on the outside, they were just a 'painted skin' of the 'demons and monsters'. Therefore, in their eyes, the cruel act of 'burning the living' is not a loss of conscience, but a great merit of eliminating demons and defending the path, and in the hearts of those people, if they can personally participate in a ritual of 'refining souls with fire', they will also become a part of the 'slaying of demons and demons'......

For Zhang Yuan, such hurtful 'performance rituals', in addition to demagoguery, can also strengthen the collective identity of those believers...... Because he knows better than anyone else that doing a hundred good things together is not as effective as doing one bad thing to improve the relationship between the collectives. ”

"But among those believers, there must be people who are half-believers, or people who are simply trying to make some profit?"

Shen Gui listened to Yan Shuqing's words, and kicked the 'Altar Master' who was sitting at his feet with a smile:

This brutal and brutal method is not only intended to confuse the believers, but also to deter those who do not believe in the Chinese Divine Religion or who come for money. Think about it, what it would be like for such cruel methods to fall into the eyes of these people? The master of the sect said that you are a demon, you are a demon, and if he said that he would burn you alive, he would burn you alive! With such terrifying means of intimidation first, coupled with the unhesitant gold and silver offensive later, a big stick in one hand and a radish in the other hand is enough to deter and control these people who are already greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

After dark the next day, Shen Gui, who was disguised as the 'altar master', appeared at the altar of the barn in the north of the village wearing a black robe. And when he performed all kinds of 'incredible' miracles and attracted the attention of everyone present; The four of their own people who were ambushed directly north of the altar in advance took advantage of Shen Gui's 'sword to slay the demon' and replaced a straw man on the volcano with the altar master whose tongue had been cut off......

I don't know if the last roar of this altar master is insulting Shen Gui's words without faith? Or is it really unbearable to endure the severe pain caused by the 'Flame Refining Soul'? Or is he making his final repentance before dying for the sins he has committed in this life......

However, no matter what he wanted to say after losing his tongue, it didn't matter at all. Shen Gui only hated that he didn't have free time, so he just used it to slowly concoct this altar master. In his view, to deal with this kind of moral degradation, there is no way to talk about such a high level of moral quality as 'keeping one's word'.

As Shen Gui was worried about before: it is easy to kill a god stick, but how to deal with the old man who is fighting for the tiger? According to various indications, this old man Ma was not bewitched by the fallacies of the Huashen Sect at all; And all the evil things he has done are just a deal with the 'devil' under extreme sobriety.

Since it is a transaction, the buyer and seller naturally know it; Therefore, the five big words of 'those who don't know are not to blame' cannot be applied to him at all. And if Shen Gui let him go because of his 'love for his son', then who should the nearly 100 innocent souls who died on the official road of Tiger Neck Village go to to get justice?

At this moment, Shen Gui's black robe was hunting by the cold north wind. It wasn't until he didn't say a word and looked at the altar master who was 'atoning for his sins in the fire' and swallowed his last breath that he turned around and looked at the villagers of Tiger Neck Village kneeling on the ground under the altar with complicated expressions......

"Mamuramasa!"

"Hongo...... The little old man is here! ”

After all, Ma Laohan has been the village chief for most of his life, and he is also a 'scene person' who often goes to the city to purchase and hand over the emperor's grain. According to the rules of the Huashen Sect, all formal occasions of worship will be commensurate with each other's positions in the religion. But now that the flames on the 'Huoshen Mountain' have not been extinguished, the owner of this altar has actually called himself an 'official title'......

"The deity has received the will of God, and the 'demon' in your body has also been eradicated. Since you are a human father, go with the plot and see how the deity destroys the demon and defends the way! ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Guiyi threw off his robe, bent his knees slightly, kicked the altar hard, and his body suddenly bounced into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped onto the roof not far away! After only a few takeoffs, they drifted away and were never seen again......

These villagers in the 'three regardless' area, how have they ever seen such a fairy-like mystical body method! They kept kowtowing in the direction of Shen Gui's departure, and they also cast envious and jealous glances at Ma Laohan, who was named by the altar master......

Although he seems to be favored by the altar owner, who has suffering in his heart, who knows best! As soon as Ma Laohan saw that this 'altar master' was riding the wind, but he had to step on the roof to borrow strength, he already knew that this was definitely not a half-immortal body, but a real martial arts person! But the other party is so powerful, if he wants to run now, it must be too late......

That's it! Stretch out your head and cut your head with a knife! The reason why he did those things that hurt nature and reason, in the final analysis, was all for his son's life and to save the lone seedling of the Lao Ma family! As long as the son can survive, even if he dies at the hands of the other party today, he deserves it!

Ma Laohan is now almost old, to be honest, if he didn't have such a hope as Ma Shi, he would have followed his wife a long time ago! Now that he heard that his son's strange illness was cured, he suddenly felt that 'God has eyes', and this life can also be 'successfully curtained'!

This person, once he can give up his life, there will be nothing to fear! It doesn't matter if you are a human or a god, a martial arts master or a secret agent, if you want to cut a knife, you will slash the knife, and if you want to eat meat, you will open your mouth! I've lived to this age, even if I die, I can't be considered dead!

Ma Laohan, who 'gave up his whole body', walked back to his ancestral house with his chest raised his head and walked back to his ancestral house with a high spirit! And even the step of knocking on the door was omitted, just like going home in the old days, he kicked down the door with his toes, and without even saying hello, he crossed the dilapidated threshold......

At this time, all the people who were sitting on the edge of Ma Shi's sickbed heard the sound of the door, and they all heard it......

"Huh! You old immortal bastard thing, you have killed so many people, and now that the ugly thing is exposed, not only does your face not feel guilty, but you are 'shaking'! I said you old immortal ......"

As soon as the little fat man returned to see his 'generous death' appearance, he was angry! This old man is now dying, and he looks as if he is about to receive a 'commendation'! It's really a dog thing that doesn't shed tears when it doesn't see a coffin!

The old man who let go out is already 'just without desire'. He looked at the five 'old acquaintances' in the room and didn't have stage fright! Now in the face of Qi Hui's accusation, he replied calmly:

"This is the ancestral home of my old Ma family! I can come back when I want! You don't care! ”

"Dog thief, you say it well! Close your eyes and die! ”

Qi Hui is an old man with ten years of experience, and due to the particularity of this industry, it is impossible for him to be a fat man who 'respects the old and loves the young'! Qi Hui was stunned by Ma Laohan at first, and then even saved the effort of fighting with him and grinding his teeth, and directly picked up the Spring Rain Sword that Li Le'an put next to the bed, and made a gesture to cut Ma Laohan in two......

"Don't scare him anymore, you see his virtue, he has no intention of going out alive at all! There is no hurry to kill him at this time...... Come to Ma Village, sit ......"

When Shen Gui's big hand was tightly clasped on Qi Hui's sword-wielding wrist, he found that this little fat man who acted slickly had no strength at all.

"Young heroes, little old man, I have already lived to this age, even if I don't die in your hands, how many more days can I live? Just pity my son......"

"Then who will have pity on the innocent people you have killed?"

Li Le'an couldn't hold back the anger in her chest at this time, she gritted her teeth and angrily reprimanded this 'good village masa' who was 'murderous'.

“…… That...... I can't do that much! Since they were born between heaven and earth, of course life and death have their own destiny......"

"What a good sentence, each has a destiny! Do you think you can decide life and death on behalf of God? ”

“……”

I don't know if this old man doesn't want to argue with a daughter's family, or if he was hit by Li Le'an's sharp words, and he felt that he was at a loss. It wasn't until he was silent for a long time that he suddenly reached out and touched the stone of the horse that was lying on the bed and had a dark face......

"Actually, I also thought that the strange disease of the stone may come from that Taoist priest! But what can I do? Even if the stone was really infected with some strange disease, Xiao Lao'er invited all the Langzhong in the vicinity, but no one looked good at all; If it's really a monster to 'nightmare', then I won't catch ghosts and subdue demons, isn't it...... Ay! What other way can I save the little stone than to listen to him? ”

Ma Laohan was not a ruthless Jiangyang thief, but just an ordinary old man who was forced to a dead end. Now his sorrow and pain are not because his life is about to come to an end, but because he sincerely feels guilty for those innocent people who were drugged and numbed. Although they were not burned by his own hands, there was no difference......

However, guilt is guilt, and even if the same choice makes him do it ten thousand more times, the final answer will be the same.

"I said old man...... After all this time, you haven't noticed anything? Your son's strange illness is exactly the same as the effect of the sweat medicine you gave us! ”

As Shen Gui spoke, he tilted his head and took out an ordinary clay pot from his arms and handed it to Ma Laohan......
