Chapter 41: Good and Evil
Three days later, Hyun Woo and the two landed in front of a small town. On the plaque at the entrance of the town, which has been broken into several pieces, you can probably see the three sons of Willow Leaf Town. Looking into the town, the doors of the houses lining the streets were closed. There were a few things scattered along the road, and on closer inspection, they were some tattered household items. A gust of wind blew, and a basket on the ground rolled in front of Hyunwoo. Hyunwoo glanced at the seemingly ordinary basket, and his eyes suddenly contracted. Seeing a little red spot on the basket, Hyunwoo squatted down and sniffed with his nose, his face became more and more ugly. Evil Feng frowned as she watched from the side, she knew what the red on the basket was before Hyunwoo, she had seen too much. The red color is blood, and it is human blood.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and walked silently towards the town. After the archway in front of them, the two of them felt that the surroundings were actually colder than outside. It's just a few steps away, and why it's changing. Hyunwoo is no stranger to this kind of aura, which is the aura of death. The cold was not the cold of the body, but the chill of the heart. Hyunwoo suddenly didn't want to go further north now, because the things he saw along the way had gradually chilled his heart. Two people, one from the village, and then one from the manor. Right now, it's quite possible that someone in a town died in a trance. The further north he went, the colder Hyunwoo's heart became, what was going on in the north. Although it is a bit remote here, it is not prosperous compared to the hinterland of Dongsheng Haotu. But compared to those four places, it can also be regarded as a popular place. But what did Hyun Woo see, one life after another died inexplicably and wonderfully. All this made Hyun Woo think of the evil path and think of another purpose of going down the mountain this time. After walking a hundred steps, Xianyu suddenly turned his head and asked Evil Feng in a deep voice: "What are you doing with your evil ways?" Why so many lives?! Speaking of the back, Hyunwoo's voice raised slightly, his mouth was a little pale, and his face was even more pale.
Evil Feng listened to Xianyu's words and did not stop, she continued to walk forward, and after a while she said: "Our evil path naturally wants to enter the place that originally belonged to us, and the hinterland of the Eastern Sage does not only belong to you. Hearing this, Xianyu's body suddenly slammed for a while, this was the first time he had heard a person in the evil path admit that he had killed so many mortals. Although Evil Phoenix didn't say it explicitly, Hyunwoo naturally thought so.
Hyunwoo's face was as heavy as frost, and the flesh on his face twitched twice. The red sword floated out from behind him at some point, and the light was very dazzling. Evil Phoenix's body trembled and looked back, and at this moment, in her eyes, there was a cloud of sun behind Xianyu. Although this sight made the evil phoenix stunned for a moment, she immediately regained her composure and continued: "I just said that the evil way wants to enter the hinterland of the Eastern Sage, and we did kill some mortals. It's just that these mortals also deserve to die, they have done too many evil things. A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the evil phoenix and said: "Besides, I didn't say that the people in the array were killed by people in the evil way, or can you conclude that this is what our evil way is called?" Taking a step back, even if you have evidence that this is an evil way, it can't be my Evil Spirit Valley. Evil Phoenix's tone grew colder and colder, and the air around her seemed to cool as her tone gradually increased.
The light of the red sword behind Hyunwoo dimmed, and the red sword disappeared. He looked at the enchantress and said lightly: "Maybe I'm too reckless, but the person who does the next thing is definitely not a good type, and if I meet it, I will never let it go easily." After saying that, he was so powerful that he slowly walked towards the depths of the town.
Evil Feng said lightly: "If these things are done by people in your righteous path or a group of bullies, will you kill them too?" ”
Hyunwoo didn't look back and said coldly: "Kill!" “
"I don't think you look like a person in the righteous path, don't you have rules that you can't interfere too much in Hongchen's affairs? If this is really the work of someone in your righteous path, are you not afraid that your teacher will be involved? The meaning of the banter in the evil phoenix's words Xianyu understood it.
Although there is a distinction between good and evil, people in the right path are not necessarily good people. There are also bold people in the evil way, but it is the evil that cannot be judged by one sentence, but by the heart. If a person in the righteous path harbors evil intentions, it is evil, and vice versa. Hyunwoo didn't look at the evil phoenix, his eyes stared straight ahead.
Evil Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "If you say this to your elders, I don't know what the situation will be." Do you admit that you have been wronged by your people for our evil ways? It's really unusual. ”
Xianyu glanced at the evil phoenix and said: "What my master elder said may not be all right, but you must have done something unkind, otherwise how can we be said by the world to be an evil way because of our few words?" You must know that this freezing three feet is not a day's cold. You know better than I do what you have done. Although Xianyu said that he didn't care much about the distinction between good and evil, he thought that there was a reason why the evil path was turned evil, otherwise how could it be empty. Evil Feng listened to Xianyu's words, her lips twitched a few times, but she didn't say anything after all, and she naturally knew better than Xianyu about the things in the evil way. Indeed, as Hyunwoo said, what some people have been doing in the Evil Way is indeed outrageous. Although she has never killed a person who does not deserve to die, she is an evil person after all. This is the same as the general truth that a person gets a chicken dog to ascend to heaven, and a person who does bad things will often lead some people to be infamy.
The two of them stopped talking, but walked forward slowly, quietly looking at everything in front of them, and the surroundings were very quiet, and no sound could be heard. Even if it could, it would be the sound of the wind, the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeat, and nothing else. A slight "squeak" made Hyunwoo stop, and the surroundings were too quiet. This sound, which is almost unnoticeable in normal times, is now so clearly audible. Hyun-woo looked to his left-hand side, and the door of a house shook a few times before it closed. The strangeness of the cultivators is extremely sensitive, and Hyunwoo clearly feels that there is life in that house, which is the breath of a living person.
Hyunwoo hasn't moved yet, but Evil Phoenix has already walked over. She moved slowly, for fear of disturbing the people inside. Hyunwoo felt that the coldness on Evil Phoenix's body dissipated at this moment, and she walked forward like an ordinary woman. Walking to the door, Evil Phoenix knocked lightly on the door and said, "Do you have any of you?" We were passing by and wanted to beg for a bowl of water. After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the door, but the evil phoenix did not give up. She already had that sweet smile on her face and knocked them again, "Is there anyone in there?" We're just walking a little thirsty, and we're not bad people......" just called a few times in a row, but no one answered, and the evil phoenix only frowned at this, and the smile on his face did not disappear because of this, it was still so charming and kind.
The evil phoenix kept shouting into the house, and I don't know how long it took to shout, and there was finally movement in the house. The door creaked open a crack, and the evil phoenix looked inside, and it was an incomparably old face. This was an old woman, and the old woman looked at the evil phoenix in the door, and then said in a hoarse voice, "This girl, what is the matter with you?" The old woman's face softened significantly when she saw the evil phoenix and Hyunwoo behind the evil phoenix, but she was still wary and did not open the door.
Evil Phoenix smiled and said, "Old man, the two of us are passers-by. After walking for a long time, I want to beg for saliva to drink, and I hope that the old man will make it convenient. The tone in which Evil Phoenix spoke at this time was very different from the tone she usually spoke to Hyunwoo, and his voice was very beautiful at the moment. Even Hyun Woo behind her felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, not to mention the old woman in the house. The old woman hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door and let the two of them inside.
When Hyun Woo and the others entered the house, they found that there were still five or six old people sitting in the room, all of whom looked like they were old men who were close to their sixtieth birthday. The two of them were only stunned when they saw this, and then sat down under the guidance of the old man. Evil Phoenix took the water handed over by the old man and asked softly, "Old man, what happened in this town?" Why is my town so desolate? ”
The old man listened to the evil phoenix's question, which was already pale, and suddenly turned a little whiter, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes. Seeing this, the evil phoenix helped the old man to his side and sat down, and then asked, "Don't be afraid, old man, we are all good people. I'm just curious about why this is the case, and I hope the old man will solve his doubts with me. ”
The old woman's expression softened a lot when she heard Evil Phoenix's words, but what she didn't know was that the hand that Evil Phoenix grabbed her was sending a trace of magic into her body. Whether it is magic or true power, it actually has unexpected benefits for mortals, as long as the caster does not have the intent to kill, then it will not harm the ordinary people of the sword. The old man looked at the evil phoenix and said, "One night two months ago, a group of monsters came up in this town, and they caught young men and women, and then put them on their noses and sniffed them, and these young men and women collapsed on the ground and did not move. When the monsters were gone, we who were hiding came out to see the young woman. This touch found ...... I found out that those children were all dead, woo woo...... Woo woo woo ......" the old man said and began to cry, and the other old men in the room also wiped tears from their eyes.
Evil Phoenix frowned, and Hyunwoo's face was even more unsightly. He thought for a moment and tried to soften his tone as much as he could, "Old man, what are those people like?" ”
The old woman wiped her tears when she heard Xianyu's question: "They look no different from ordinary people, but what they did was too shocking, and they killed those children." ”
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything, Hyun Woo and the others stayed in the house for a while and then prepared to get up and leave. Before leaving, Evil Phoenix looked at the old people in the room again, and silently recited a few words of mantra. A stream of red gas emanated from her palm and sprayed onto the old men's bodies, and the next moment, the faces of those old men were much better. Hyunwoo knew that this was Evil Phoenix treating the old man's body, and at this moment he thought, "Good and evil? What is positive? What is evil? ”
