"Because that's what I use!"

Qin Zi said with a smile to the "Land God" who collapsed to the ground.

Yes, the black long snake manipulated by Qin Zi, if you have to say, is fundamentally the power of the land god.

The "land god" struggled to his feet and looked at him with a look of horror.

Of course, he could feel that what Qin Zi used to deal with him was the "power of incense" that he was extremely familiar with!

Therefore, now that he can't win against him at all, it means that he actually lost to a young man who has not cultivated Shinto in the strength of controlling the power of incense!

"Do you think that because you are in the Jindan period, you will definitely be able to win?"

"Actually, I think so too, after all, if you want to really play with a few of us honestly, I still have to use some hole cards to kill you, but why do you want to die yourself?"

He stomped on the body of the "land god" and crushed him to the ground.

Although it was said that he wanted to vent a little pressure, Qin Zi still tried to keep himself within the range of rationality and not let the act of venting affect his mind.

So he knew very well when he should stop, and if he tortured the "land god" to death like this now, then it was clear that he would be well relaxed, but then what?

After relaxing, will he have to find a wicked person next time and torture him to death?

Well, even if this is possible, but after that, if one day, his pressure accumulates again, but at that time he can't find the most heinous person, then what will he do?

Looking for someone who has done evil things, but isn't so damned?

The bottom line of man is slowly destroyed again and again.

These things had even been specially reminded to him by Elder Shen before.

According to them, such a question has actually affected every generation of practitioners.

The vast majority of cultivators will put themselves above mortals after gaining extraordinary powers.

In this way, even if the practitioner himself is not evil, but quite righteous, will he not be able to resist upholding justice for mortals and judging the wicked?

At first, the most heinous people are judged, then the guilty are judged, and in the end, as long as they are unhappy, they can kill at will.

If it goes on for a long time, he will slowly and completely override the life and death of mortals, completely ignoring the life and death of mortals.

At that time, if nothing else, the person's own mind will also be greatly affected, and his spiritual practice will be seriously affected.

Therefore, Elder Shen had told him many methods at that time.

Some people simply put their status above the life and death of mortals, never care about the life and death of mortals, and slaughtering mortals is like pinching ants to death, such people will naturally not be affected by their minds; And some people don't care about it, they simply never go back to care about the life and death of mortals, and live in seclusion in the mountains, far away from the world, such people will not be affected; There are also people who are in the world, but they can be absolute spectators, like a bystander, no matter what happens, they will not waver, which is also a method of honing the mind that many monks admire.

And the last one proposed by Elder Shen was Qin Zi's current condition.

"Boy, I think I know you well, so I know you probably won't choose any of these methods. So I'll tell you the last method, there are such people occasionally, but there are very few people who can go to the end! ”

"The people in front of me, including me, are actually the vast majority of people in the cultivation world. And those of us, even the most sympathetic to mortals, will unconsciously put ourselves above the mortal world, which is our arrogance as cultivators, and there are occasionally some cultivators in this world who really treat mortals equally, the weak, the strong, everything in the world. ”

"If you want to be like that, you must remember to leave a ruler and a line in your heart."

"A ruler is the standard by which you measure things, and it tells you not to look at the world according to your mood, but to always remember to see the world according to the principle marked by the ruler; And a line is the bottom line left for you, no matter what you do, you should not cross this bottom line, remember, this line must include all your behaviors! ”

"If there really is a day when you cross this line, then you have to be careful, because if there is a day, no matter how small a thing you do, it already means that you are no longer the same person you used to be."

"Remember, don't cross that line!"

"Don't cross that line!" Qin Zi whispered what Elder Shen had said, was silent for a while, and then continued to look at the "Land God" with a smile.

"So I don't understand, why are you trying to master powers that don't belong to you?"

"What do you say? You say it doesn't belong to me? The "land god" knew that he was powerless, but now instead of panicking, he said in an incredible tone.

"Why don't those powers belong to me? These untouchables are my people, and whatever I want from them is their honor, so why do you say that they do not belong to me? ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he thought that someone like Qin Zi would definitely understand him.

"Do you know what kind of life they would be living now if it weren't for me? It's me, it's because I'm here that they can live a life of abundance! It's me! It was precisely because I went to the water alone to find the stinky loach theory that they were able to live enough to fish in the Huanglong River, all by me! I'm just a little spiritual, even if I kill them all, it should be their honor to be killed by my own hands! ”

Regarding his words, Qin Zi just looked at it with a smile, and there was no intention to refute it at all.

Qin Zi didn't know what this guy looked like before, but what was certain was that he was definitely the kind of person who completely overrode mortals and overpowered the weak.

"That's right, it's all their fault, everything they have gained, obviously I brought it, so they can't live now, why should they come to blame me? It is because of me that they have been able to live until now, and if it weren't for me, they would have starved to death in the middle of nowhere! He seemed to suddenly grasp something, and continued to shout excitedly.

This was the first time Qin Zi had heard of it, and although he was too lazy to listen to what this guy had and what stories he had, he still wanted to know what was going on behind it.

Therefore, Qin Zi turned his head and looked at Li Zheng and the others who were looking at this side with a complicated expression.

"Alas, in this matter, it is indeed these villagers who have failed Huang Gong."

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Qin Zi asked suspiciously.

"The land around here seems to be quite fertile, but for some reason, the yield is always not up, and the fields that these villagers can get are too small, and they are occupied by all the landlords in the city for two days, so Huang Gong pleaded with Lord Jiangshen and begged the villagers to be allowed to go out of the water to fish."

"Lord Jiangshen saw that Huang Gong was sincere, so he agreed, but later, within a few years of these villagers going out to fish, they abandoned Huang Gong's land temple and went to worship Lord Jiangshen."

"Huang Gong naturally doesn't care much about these things, I once heard him say with my own ears, I just want to make the people happy and healthy, so although I was angry at the time, I didn't say anything, after all, although the incense in the land temple is a lot worse, but it is still barely able to live."

Speaking of this, his eyes were gloomy, as if he had thought of something sad.

"But the good times didn't last long, just some time ago, the imperial court developed a new boat, the draft is much larger than the ordinary fishing boats, the fishing efficiency far exceeds these retail fishermen, the Jiangshen Lord is a little unhappy, thinking that the imperial court has destroyed the Huanglongjiang River water system, and later the imperial court ordered to regulate the river fishermen, must hold the official document issued by the imperial court to fish on the river, if there is no official document, as long as you enter the Huanglongjiang River water system, you will encounter the attack of the demon clan in the water."

"So, the review of official documents of the imperial court is cumbersome, and these people just find the land god to complain because they can't get the official documents?" Qin Zi was a little surprised by the logical ability of these people, why did he blame the land god this time?

saw Li Zheng shake his head and said:

"No, the imperial court has set up a new 'fishing supervisor', although these official documents have some conditions, but they are not so difficult to obtain. However, in order to obtain a 'quasi-fishing order', you must have a family of fishermen and a population of more than three people, which is a policy to restrict those who fish shoe, after all, if it is not regulated, anyone can fish on the river at will. ”

As soon as he said this, Qin Zi instantly understood that the problem was still in the household registration.

Although these people are now fishing by the river, they are all serious farmers, although some people must have turned into fishermen, after all, the court officials do not eat dry rice, but they will definitely not be transferred to the whole family. And just like Qin Zi saw before, although these people all went out to fish, most of them still kept a little land, according to the regulations, as long as the fields were kept, the imperial court could not revoke their status as farmers.

After all, unlike a lowly household like a fisherman, a farmer is a serious household registration, and those who have the status of a farmer are definitely not willing to turn into fishermen at will.

However, farming in this shabby place could not feed them at all, so they could only go out to fish.

This is the price of their clever tricks before, they want to get the rich benefits of fishing, but they don't want to give up the serious identity of farmers, in the past, taking advantage of the incomplete system of the imperial court, they naturally let them do it, but now, once the imperial court strictly investigates this matter, these people will be finished.

Now they are really at the end of their rope, fishing is not allowed, and they can't grow anything in the land, and even if they want to farm, the land in their hands is estimated to have not been taken care of for a long time.

However, the silver they still brought was waiting for the land to improve, and they couldn't even afford to eat, so they came to the "land god" to pray for blessings.

And unfortunately, depending on the level of the land, you may be able to ask him to change the terrain, but it is simply wishful thinking to turn bad land into good land.

"So, most of the people who came to pray at the Land Temple later had resentment, which led to the contamination of the incense and finally caused the land god to fall into the devil?" Qin Zi said curiously, if this is the case, then this land god is really stupid, he can be polluted by the incense with resentment, I am afraid that there will not be a single such talent among the ten thousand Shinto monks.

"Naturally this is not the case, Huang Gong is not stupid, of course he knows that these resentful incense can't be absorbed."

Qin Zi quietly glanced at the land god lying on the ground, thinking that this guy seemed to be really so stupid, he had just absorbed these incense fires.

"In fact, Huang Gong definitely didn't absorb those incense, and you can see the evidence, this Yin Si still saves so much incense, all of which Huang Gong didn't absorb at that time, in fact, those unpolluted incense are actually there, but they have been consumed by us in the past few days."

At this time, Qin Zi glanced at the "Land God" who was constantly struggling, and smiled thoughtfully:

"Since he obviously didn't absorb those incense, how did he get into the devil?"
