Chapter 182: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Ren Hantang thought that Luo Yuzhang happily agreed to swear because he was afraid of death, but in fact, he agreed to swear because he didn't want anyone else to know that there was a magical creature like Bai Ze in this world.
After all, if Bai Ze had been in Ren Hantang's hands, then he would still have a chance to take it for himself, but if Bai Ze was targeted by Brother Jindan or even Brother Yuanying, then he really had no chance at all.
Greed made Luo Yuzhang ignore Bai Ze's proud nature of never recognizing the master, he didn't know that Ren Hantang and Bai Yu did not conclude a master-servant contract, and he didn't know that the reason why Bai Yu signed a contract with Ren Hantang was because Bai Yu needed Ren Hantang to provide it with the strength to break out of the shell through the bond of the contract, and on the other hand, because it knew that Ren Hantang was pure in nature and would not abuse its power to burden it with unnecessary cause and effect.
The two of them quickly walked out of the line of sight of Boss Qin and the others, but the perception of those people kept watching them aggressively.
In order not to cause trouble to the innkeeper's family, Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue did not go back immediately.
They walked slowly through the streets of the North End, and every once in a while, one or two ordinary people with hurried expressions would walk cautiously past them, clinging to the wall.
Most of these people were blood relatives or servants of the monks, and they carefully begged for a living in the world that belonged to the monks.
Because of that demon cultivator's indiscriminate killing of innocents, they have been trembling and walking on thin ice recently.
However, there has never been a day when they were so terrified as they are today.
Ren Hantang had the heart to ask someone to inquire, but all the passers-by didn't know why they had become frightened birds, and as soon as Ren Hantang showed his intention to get close to them, they would immediately run away with all their strength as fast as they could in their lives.
For the first time in his life, Ren Hantang was disliked and feared like this, the calm and indifferent expression on his handsome face cracked a few cracks, and a pair of deep and quiet eyes showed a rare hint of frustration and confusion.
Ren Hanyue was originally extremely depressed, but Ren Hantang's expression made the corners of her lips uncontrollable slightly raised.
Since the two reunited after a long absence, Ren Hantang has been trying to show his mature and reliable side, although Ren Hanyue is happy to be idle, but he also feels sorry for his transformation and growth in his heart.
In her memory, the lively and lovely little Zhengtai and the energetic little boy are the Ren Hantang she knows.
As for the young man in front of her, who was as calm as a mountain, although she could feel the reliability of the other party, she inevitably felt strange emotionally.
She didn't want Ren Hantang to become unsmiling because of her disappearance, and she didn't want him to carry too many responsibilities and obligations that shouldn't be borne by him at all.
She will be responsible for her life, and she will ensure her safety.
For Ren Hantang, her only expectation is that the other party can be happy and happy as always.
She raised her head and gave her little brother a bright smile that was enough to dazzle people's eyes, "If you can't ask, don't ask, let's go over and see what happened." ”
Ren Hantang heard his heart beat violently, he nodded, and replied to Ren Hanyue with a "good" in a somewhat fluttering voice.
The two of them then let go of their perception and took Zixi and Bai Yu to the depths of the North District.
Soon, they found the reason that scared those ordinary people.
It turned out that six foundation-building stage monks, including Liu Lin, were torturing a dying late-stage Qi refining monk.
The late-stage Qi refining monk had only one breath left, and in front of him, an old woman with gray hair and a wrinkled face and a young girl with a delicate appearance and a thin body were kowtowing to six foundation building stage monks, including Liu Lin.
They were praying for the six foundation-building monks, including Liu Lin, to spare their sons/brothers, and the two women, who had no spiritual power, had blood on their faces, and their voices were both sad and desperate.
Liu Lin didn't know what was crazy, she kicked away the old woman who was kneeling between her and the tortured late-stage Qi refining cultivator, constantly kowtowing and begging, and the whip in her hand fell on the late-stage Qi refining cultivator at the same time.
The late-stage Qi refining cultivator had already fallen into a deep coma, and even if she was beaten, she only reflexively shrunk her body, while the old woman who was kicked away by her hit the stone wall headlong, and with a muffled snort, her whole body fell directly to the wall.
The young girl with a bloody face rushed to the old woman's side, shouting "Mother" with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Ren Hanyue's anger jumped to the top of his head.
She knew that many monks didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, but the monks relied on their own force to bully ordinary people, and it was the first time she had encountered it when she was so old.
I don't know if it was the concept that the strong should protect the weak that was instilled in her previous life was causing trouble, anyway, she just couldn't look down on Liu Lin's behavior from the bottom of her bones.
After all, Ren Hantang has been with her day and night for more than ten years, and as soon as he saw her black face, Ren Hantang immediately realized that his family Yue'er's mood was not very good.
Although he didn't look down on Liu Lin's attitude, he was outnumbered, and it was obviously unwise to act brutally.
He sent a message to Ren Hanyue, and said a few words like this.
Ren Hanyue took a deep breath and raised her hand to smear it on her face for a while.
Seeing that she was no longer what she looked like before, Ren Hantang took her to pretend to be casual and walked towards Liu Lin and them.
Although they were both monks in the late stage of foundation building, Ren Hanyue and Ren Hantang's cultivation was obviously higher than Liu Lin's five companions, and they walked about ten zhang (more than 30 meters) away from each other, and one of Liu Lin's companions finally discovered their arrival with hindsight.
“...... It turned out that it was the demon cultivator who stirred up the wind and rain and was caught, no wonder those people gathered over there. Although Ren Hantang's voice was low, Liu Lin's companion still heard her words clearly.
He originally planned to stop the two of them and prevent them from continuing to approach this area, but as soon as he heard Ren Hanyue's words, he immediately forgot his original intention.
He eagerly walked a few steps in the direction of Ren Hanyue and Ren Hantang, "This fellow Daoist, what did you just say?
Ren Hanyue's eyes drifted towards him, but the steps under his feet never stopped, "Yes, haven't you heard of this fellow Daoist?"
The man stomped his foot hard at first, but soon he restrained his overflowing anger and killing intent, "Can you bother the two Daoists to tell me what the situation is next?"
Ren Hanyue spread his hands, "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, the companions in Xia and Xia were not at the scene at that time. If we hadn't happened to meet the monks of the Western Demon Eradication Team, we wouldn't have known that the demon cultivator had been killed at the junction of the North and South Districts. ”
