Chapter 241: His Name
"Y-Are you alright?"
Seeing Nan Xian suddenly freeze in place, the weasel said with some trepidation, and at the same time carefully pulled his jade card back from her hand and retracted it into the inner pocket of his clothes.
Nan Xian was brought back to her senses from the shock, she steadied her mind, made her expression look as natural as possible, and asked him, "What is the reward for his promise to save your wife?" ”
"That's what he wants." The weasel spirit sighed, "Same as the previous request—to suck the whole essence of a man for him." ”
Yu Lin couldn't help but sneer lightly when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "Your ancestor's master taught when he was dying, and your family has guarded the treasure for generations, but you plan to give it to others because of your own selfish desires, you really have filial piety." ”
The weasel spirit bowed his head in shame, "So my retribution has come...... The physical bodies that the puppeteer gave us were only temporary, because the owners of the physical bodies were all people who died in vain, and their grievances were extremely heavy, and those grievances were forcibly suppressed by him with spells, and once they lost the nourishment of the human spirit, they would be immediately beaten back to their original form. And as the time we spend in the body increases, so does the resentment, and the amount of energy we need only increases, not decreases.
I asked him what we would do if our act of stealing human spirits was discovered by the Heavenly Dao, and he said that he had his own way and would not let us be discovered, but—"
He clenched his fists hard, stared in the direction of the hut with tears in his eyes, and said word by word: "He has not been at ease from the beginning, and he has deceived me, so that our whole clan is trapped in this half-rotten flesh by the resentment of those who died in vain, and there is no peace all day long, but he has left his own hands." I just figured out why he never took people's spirits himself - because he had no way to escape the punishment of heaven, he just used us as tools to let us do things for him, and in the end, all the debts fell on our heads, but he himself sat back and enjoyed his success and was unharmed! ”
When he said this, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and the appearance of a weasel loomed on his face, twisted and hideous.
Nan Xian looked at him like this, and didn't have much pity in her heart, so she only silently sighed that a poor person must have something to hate, and said lightly:
"You don't have to think like this, the way of heaven is the most just and strict existence in the world, and the evil committed by others will eventually be punished, and now there is no fulfillment, it's just that the time has not yet come."
The weasel spirit was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then showed a sad wry smile.
"Heavenly Dao...... If the way of heaven is really strict, how can such a wicked person be allowed to survive in the world? ”
When Nan Xian heard what he said, for some reason, an unhappiness rose inexplicably in her heart, she subconsciously clenched her fists, stared at the other party's face with squinted eyes, and a thought about violence quickly flashed in her mind.
This change of mood lasted only a few seconds, and she quickly regained her composure and released her clenched fists.
"Heaven has his own reasons for keeping him on earth. What we have to focus on at the moment is not the way of heaven or the way of heaven, and now that the puppeteer has abandoned his body and fled, since he has gone to such great lengths to lure me here, he will definitely not give up easily, and he will definitely appear again. What we need to be clear about is how to deal with him and save his life. ”
Nan Xian's eyes flashed, and she silently added in her heart-
Also, why is the jade plate given to the weasel spirit by the puppeteer engraved with the name of Yunwu.
