Chapter 13: Atonement

Li Jiuan was silent, and he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing for a while.

If you don't repent, it's easy to do, just draw your sword and sweep it clean.

This is willing to repent, can he decide the life and death of others with a single word?

"This is also easy to do, you guard this river, cross people day and night, and then when will you save seven hundred and thirty people to atonement for your crimes."

It was still the broken Taoist priest who seemed to see Li Jiu'an's embarrassment and taught him.

"It's fine."

Li Jiuan thought about it for a while, and felt that this method was okay, killing one person and saving ten people could atone for his sins, which was feasible.

"Would you like to?"

This is not to ask them to correct them, but to look at the few people who were arrested, after all, they are the sufferers.

"I don't care."

The young man who rescued the broken Taoist priest shrugged his shoulders, his face full of indifference, after all, he was arrested by himself.

As for the other three people except for the Taoist priest, although many relatives and friends were killed, and there was a lot of resentment in their hearts, they had just come out of the dead, and they didn't want to do much, so they reluctantly agreed.

In this way, Li Zheng also agreed to come down and guard the river day and night until he saved 730 people.

Anyway, they don't need to eat or drink now, and they are very powerful, these things are not difficult.

"By the way, why did you promise the Five Paths God, is it really for immortality?"

After the incident, Li Jiuan came to the side of Li Zheng and asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Immortal, haha."

Rizheng smiled and shook his head again.

"Of course not, I just can't live." Li Zheng looked at the Taoist priest, "The servants of the yamen come every three or five times, and the name is different every time, what wars have to pay taxes, the emperor has to pay taxes when he marries his daughter-in-law, the emperor has to pay taxes when he wants to build a house, and even ... There is a disaster in the south, and we have to pay taxes. ”

"This emperor takes his daughter-in-law and builds a house, what does it matter to us, there is a disaster in the south and we want to provide relief, so what about us? Do we have a few bites? ”

"Dao Chief, how do you say you live these days?"

As he spoke, Li Zheng became a little excited, and the wood grain on his face resurfaced.

"Dao Chief, have you ever been hungry?" didn't let Li Jiuan answer, Li Zheng followed up and continued, "That person eats everything when he is hungry, grass and bark are all good, I heard that in some places, it is eaten by Yizi." ”

"Of course, now that the good days are coming, you don't have to go hungry if you eat soil and bask in the sun, Dao Chief, do you say there is anything better in the whole world?"

Li Jiuan was speechless, he grew up in modern times, although he was an orphan, he was never hungry.

Even though I have learned about those disaster years from textbooks, it is difficult to understand them with empathy.

"You probably won't live long."

The essence of using the immortal water of the Five Paths God is to stimulate their life force, and its evil magic has changed their bodies.

If there is no continuous replenishment, the overdrawn vitality will greatly shorten their lifespan.

Li Zheng waved his hand, his face full of indifference.

"It's good to live a few more years, otherwise you might die the next day."

"These troubled times, eh."

Finally, Rizheng ended with a deep sigh and led the villagers back.

Li Jiu'an was right to think about it, so he didn't say anything more and said goodbye to Li Zheng.

And Sun Wang eventually died, and they were brought back by Li Zheng for burial.

The wound hurt his heart and lungs, if there was the immortal water of the Wutong God, maybe he could still be rescued, but the Wutong God was not already dead, and the bottle of liquid it took out at the end also evaporated under the raging fire.

Then Li Jiu'an walked towards the young man, and at this moment he was standing with the broken Taoist priest, and there was a slight argument.

"I said you, a Taoist priest, don't think that I won't beat people if I have a good heart, you pestering me again, be careful that I beat you."

As he spoke, the young man raised his fist.

"Have you ever seen a fist the size of a punching bag, and now you see it!"

The broken Taoist priest didn't know what to do in his heart, but he said good things on his lips.

"How many people begged to be poor Dao's apprentices, but Poor Dao didn't agree, if it weren't for your chivalrous heart this time, how could you accept you so easily, would..."

"Don't talk big about you, old Taoist, I only worship people who have the ability to be masters."

"Heh, the poor road is clear, and there are still some names in this Huainan Road."

Qingxu Daoist talked about his Dao number, a little proud.

And this young man happened to see Li Jiuan coming over, and his eyes lit up.

"This Dao Leader, have you ever heard of the name of the Qingxu Dao Master?"

"I've never heard of it."

Li Jiuan said truthfully, he is a wild Taoist, how can he know so much?

Now the young man seemed to have corroboration, and suddenly his voice rose high.

"I'll just say that you are a liar, and you want to trick me into being your apprentice, heh, I have seen a lot of people like you at home, and everyone said that they have unique skills, can cure my illness, and teach me great skills, but they have not all been thrown out of my Zhang Nursing Home."

"Besides, if you really have the ability, will you still be arrested? I haven't seen you have any skills in the past few days, and you're not waiting for others to save you like me. ”

Qingxu Daoist was said to be in the sore spot, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while, so he had to mumble.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and rotten wood cannot be carved."

After listening to this for a while, Li Jiuan also figured out that the Taoist priest who claimed to be pure and void wanted to accept this young man as an apprentice, but the young man thought he was a liar and did not agree.

Li Jiuan then looked at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was about forty or fifty years old, with a face full of vicissitudes and unkemptness, with a bun on his head, tied with a branch, his robe was shabby, and his cloth shoes were covered with mud.

The most important thing is that Li Jiu'an sensed the qi of the Taoist priest, the aura in his body was disordered, and his spiritual power was not obvious, even if he had mana, he could only barely draw a dust clearing talisman.

It's really not a good person.

So Li Jiuan stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to the young man.

"You are Zhao Changsheng, your father dragged me to ransom you back."

As he spoke, Li Jiuan took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to him, which Zhao Zhiye used to redeem him, but he didn't use it, so he simply gave it to his son.

"He told you to go back early, and he said he would definitely find the best doctor for you to save you."

Zhao Changsheng took the silver ticket and pouted.

"I'm not going back, if he can find the one who cured me, he will find it a long time ago, and this time I'm going to save myself."

Zhao Changsheng was suffering from an incurable disease, and Li Jiuan also listened to his father, saying what kind of natural fate, but he didn't understand.

But now look at this Zhao Changsheng, he doesn't look sick at all.

"Incurable?"

Qingxu Dao Chang frowned, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Changsheng's wrist.

Zhao Changsheng didn't check for a while, and when he reacted, his wrist was tightly pinched.

The Broken Daoist frowned at first, then stretched out after a moment, and then raised his eyebrows again, revealing a face full of joy.

As if he had discovered a treasure, he had already extinguished his intention to accept him as an apprentice, and he rose up again.

No, I made up my mind to accept him as an apprentice.

"Who said you were incurable?"

"You're a natural cultivation seed!"
