Chapter 36 Eliminate the old witch for the people
There is a distance from the water to the Soul Calling Gang, but Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing are both ghost bodies, and it only takes a while to fly up.
During the day, the Soul Gang is a mass grave with thousands of graves and white bones exposed, but at night, it will automatically emerge into the deep courtyard of the Gaomen mansion, with brilliant lights and endless sounds of singing and dancing.
Nie Xiaoqian arrived at the door, the closed vermilion lacquer door was not opened, she entered with her head slightly drooping, and soon arrived at the middle hall.
The red candles were lit up in the hall.
Nie Xiaoqian saw the old witch sitting there, her face full of red light, revealing the satisfied look of the addict who wanted to go back with the wind after eating drugs.
It used to be full of lotus leaves, but now it seems to have been injected with anti-wrinkle injections and botulinum toxin, and he has a two-part face like a full moon, which is at least five years younger than before.
And the old witch is now kind and kind-eyed, and when she saw Nie Xiaoqian, she showed a look of love. is like the old woman in "Journey to the West", if she doesn't have sharp eyes, or she doesn't know the details, at a glance, she looks similar to her own grandmother.
No one would think that this is a thousand-year-old demon with advanced demon laws and feeding on people.
"Grandma." Nie Xiaoqian bowed calmly.
"Xiaoqian is here." The old witch smiled lovingly, "Xiaoqing, don't hurry up and move a stool for Xiaoqian!" ”
Xiaoqing brought Nie Xiaoqian and was about to return to the back of the old witch, as the leader of the women, she never thought that she had received an order from the old witch as soon as she moved, and she actually moved the seat for Nie Xiaoqian, and for a while she thought she had heard it wrong.
The old witch saw that Xiao Aoki was there, her face was constantly changing for a while, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she suddenly shouted in an aggravated tone with a little unhappiness: "Xiaoqing, what is the pestle doing there, isn't it sharp?" ”
Xiaoqing's body trembled suddenly, seeing that her grandmother was going to be unhappy, she hurriedly sent a silk embroidered drum stool to Nie Xiaoqian.
Nie Xiaoqian thanked her slightly, and sat calmly on the silk embroidered drum stool, neither happy because of the favor of the old witch, nor afraid of the majesty of the old witch.
Probably because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the old witch doesn't think she is angry when she sees it, but thinks that Nie Xiaoqian has no pride in her achievements, and she has no pampering and coquettishness, and she is proud of her peers and loves to show off. On the other hand, Xiaoqing's temperament is not dignified enough, when he is favored, he is pampered and proud, but he doesn't want to be pampered and arrogant, and he is extremely prosperous and declining.
"Xiaoqian, it seems that grandma did the right thing to let you go free, you did a good job last night, grandma is very satisfied." The old witch said very peacefully.
Those Fuso ninjas are vigorous in blood and blood, and one is the top of ordinary people. That Dongying Jianhao is even more violent, one top ten, the same as the Ten Complete Tonic Pills.
The old witch stayed up for a winter, and refined the magic weapon and consumed a lot of essence, and she almost had a dish, and last night's feast was opened, and she almost didn't burp when she ate, so what is there to dissatisfaction with.
"This is all the credit of Xiaoqing and them, Xiaoqian is just a coincidence." Nie Xiaoqian shook her head slightly and replied.
Seeing this, the old witch's face softened slightly, stared at Nie Xiaoqian for a while, and said, "You have made a great achievement, are you not happy?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian's expression was like the water of Xiaojing Lake, unfazed, and replied, "No." ”
Those Fusang ninjas and Dongying Jianhao wanted to capture her and take it to Cao Yuxuan to invite merit. If it falls into the hands of Cao Yuxuan, when he sees the beauty, he will do everything possible to get it, and in the hands of people who are morally corrupt and lustful, he will be humiliated, I am afraid it is worse than death.
Nie Xiaoqian is not a gentleman, but since she became a ghost, she has been reading "Analects" at night, and knows the truth that a gentleman repays virtue with virtue and repays grievances directly.
If others want to harm her, she has the ability to resist, so she will naturally not sit still.
This time to kill people by demons, it can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.
But after all, so many people died, and these people were sucked by the old witch to absorb the yang qi and flesh, and even the dried corpses would be slowly transformed into zombies by all kinds of yin qi in this extreme yin land, which can be said to be extremely miserable. So she doesn't feel like she's done wrong, but she doesn't feel like there's anything to be happy about.
The old witch said meaningfully: "Xiaoqian, grandma knows that you are kind-hearted and can't bear to harm people's lives. But how many of those who are chasing you are kind? Grandma could see that each of them was full of lust and evil, and he didn't know how many lives he had on hand. Don't you still understand that these heinous people are the source of chaos and evil? If you bring them to Lanruo Temple, aren't you trying to eliminate harm for the people? ”
Nie Xiaoqian replied, "Xiaoqian knows. ”
"Well, Xiaoqing, it's good that you understand. There is a Taoist who has a thought in his heart, and heaven and earth know that if good and evil are not rewarded, there will be selfishness. You are still young, you don't know, grandma is old, you already know this world, the heavenly machine is blinded, the emperor star is shaking, the heavenly reason cannot be revealed, and justice is no longer in the hearts of the people. ”
Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be quite moved, the old witch quoted the scriptures and talked at length.
"When there is no distinction between good and evil, naturally the wicked are in charge, and troubled times will arise. If you can use your heart and make great efforts to lure those wicked people to Lanruo Temple, grandma will punish the evil, and you will promote good, which is a great merit. What's more, ghosts are harmless to people's hearts, and people have ghosts and hurt people. Xiaoqian, you are a ghost, and you are born to be antagonistic to people. You can't bear to hurt people, but if people know that you are a ghost, they will definitely hurt you under the banner of killing demons and eliminating demons. ”
"That kind of hypocrite who is full of benevolence and morality, grandma has seen a lot. When you walk outside, stand your ground and don't let your hypocrisy blind you. ”
Nie Xiaoqian didn't expect that the old witch would put gold on her face in order to convince herself, so she almost shouted a slogan and said, people have great evil, God will not punish them, I will punish them.
But I have to admit that many of these words really sound a bit crooked.
For example, the Dongying swordsman in Wanghu Tower killed several scholars, but he escaped afterwards and was hidden by Cao Yuxuan.
The magistrate of Guobei County is a well-known corrupt official, and an unknown scholar wrote limericks and pasted them on the gate of the yamen to satirize him: "Black patent leather lanterns, fireflies for half a day." The white tiger is painted on the pink wall, and the oolong is written on the yellow paper. The eggplant knocks on the mud chime, and the winter melon hits the wooden bell. Only know money and wine, regardless of righteousness and public. ”
Expecting such an official uniform to punish evil and promote good? Not to mention that the Yamen's arrest can find out who Dongying swordsman is, even if he finds out, knowing where he is hiding, it will be confined to the power behind Cao Yuxuan, and in the end, the big thing will be turned into a small matter, and it will be over.
It is even possible to catch a substitute for the dead, blackmail the money, and close the case indiscriminately.
If you can lure this Dongying swordsman to Lanruo Temple and let the old witch eat him, it can indeed be said that it is to eliminate harm for the people.
However, if the old witch harms all the bad people, it will be fine. But among the people harmed by the old witch, there are not necessarily no good people.
The scholar she saw in front of her that night who was sucked into a dried corpse was just not able to sit still, and she couldn't help but be tempted by lust, although there was a mistake, but the sin was not as good as death, right?
So no matter how clever the old witch is, she is just very respectful and perfunctory on the surface, and she will not really collude with the old witch and act in embarrassment. And for the sake of her own safety, she must not agree.
After all, something like last night is likely to be a non-return.
Because no one knows what the result will be if more than a dozen Fuso ninjas and a swordsman with superb swordsmanship suddenly disappear into the Black Wind Forest, and there will be no one alive or dead.
Cao Yuxuan must have been very angry when he lost so many of his subordinates at once. He was new to the city and didn't know the dangers of the Black Wind Lin Lanruo Temple, but he couldn't never know it.
If one after another of his subordinates continue to disappear, he will definitely investigate thoroughly, and the fact that Lanruo Temple is a ghost temple can't be hidden from him, it is difficult to say that he will not suspect that his subordinates were eaten by demons and monsters as snacks.
If she has suspicions, in order to protect herself, she recruits a real mage, or prepares to slay demons and demons on a whim, then it will be dangerous for her to walk around in Guobei County.
