Chapter 111: The trade-off between good and evil refines the divine heart
"Immortal please? What immortal family please? Aren't they monsters? ”
A man said with a trembling voice.
Bai Lan didn't pay attention to it, took off the jade flute on his waist casually, and blew lightly to play the flute, echoing outside the deserted village.
After a while, strange sounds sounded all around, and everyone looked around in amazement.
I saw foxes and weasels jumping up on the courtyard and surrounding Bai Lan.
There were also big rats running out of the ground, and even short-legged hedgehogs running on all fours.
Finally, there are fresh and chilling snakes and pythons, there are highly venomous snakes that they once couldn't hide, and rare giant pythons, with no less than 100 snakes at most.
The villagers crowded into a corner, as if being next to each other would give them some courage.
The five genera of animals gathered around Bai Lan and stopped one after another, squatting or standing like people waiting to listen to orders.
Bai Lan stopped his flute and looked at the five great immortals, many of whom had already opened their spirits, and it seemed that the aura here was not bad.
"Can you see evil things here?"
"Goo~"
"Woo~"
"Hiss~"
"Squeak~"
"Dudu~"
The village chief asked with some fear: "Childe, these... What did the immortals say? ”
"They all said they hadn't seen demons or anything like that." Bai Shi frowned and looked at the villagers: "Isn't there someone in your village who specializes in this abduction?" ”
"Impossible!" The village chief said firmly: "When we never moved the village, almost all of our 200 families in Hukou Village lost their children. Moreover, if it is really man-made in our village for ten years, how can there not be a trace of it? ”
Bai Lan said in a deep voice: "Are most of the children missing in the middle of the night? ”
"Not bad. And they are all children under the age of ten, and they disappeared so strangely, no one alive, no corpse dead. The village chief added.
Bai Lan frowned and said softly: "Disappeared in the middle of the night, no one is alive, no body is dead......
He said again, "Where have you found the bones?" ”
"Goo~"
"Woo~"
"Hiss~hiss~"
"Squeak~"
"Dudu~"
"Oh?" Bai Lan snorted lightly, waved his hand to disperse the wisps of white qi that were so weak that they were almost invisible that they flew into the bodies of the beasts, and he only stretched out his hand, and a pure black snake climbed into his hand.
And soon all the beasts were gone.
Bai Lan then said: "Let's go, follow me to see, this may be the last clue." ”
All the villagers nodded respectfully, and even Lao Xiao, the drunken man, followed Bai Lan respectfully.
The group walked and stopped, and the black snake kept guiding the direction with the snake's head, leading everyone around the deserted dead village, and finally stopped in front of a dry well.
Bai Lan looked down at the dry well, which was bottomless and black. And there was a faint yin qi inside, very weak, hidden deep in the ground until it was close, and it was impossible to detect it at all.
"Village chief, what did you use this dry well for?"
The village chief hurriedly replied: "This well has not dried up before, and it is the source of water for our village. What did Childe find? ”
Bai Lan didn't answer, and asked again: "What can you keep in the well?" ”
Everyone thought about it for a while, and Lao Xiao said, "Yes." In order to distinguish whether the water source can be used or not, we raised a turtle in the well, and seeing it alive means that the water in the well is good and can be drunk.
But later, some people in the government advertised that they were unhygienic and so on, so they didn't raise it anymore. But the turtle at the bottom of the well did not know where it was going, and it may have run away from the bottom of the well. ”
Bai Lan shook his head, "It probably didn't run away, but was eaten by the medicine at the bottom of the well." ”
"Huh? Is it really a youkai? ”
The crowd exclaimed.
Bai Lan took a look at the bottom of the well, and sure enough......
He sighed and said, "Be ready. ”
"What preparation?" The crowd was puzzled.
Bai Lan flicked his sleeves, and a strong wind went straight to the bottom of the well, rolling up countless debris at the bottom of the well and flying in front of everyone.
But I saw that there were scattered pieces of white bones, and there were many shabby clothes mixed with sludge, and the unique smell of stinky mud at the bottom of the well.
When everyone looked closely, they could only distinguish the white bones because of the long time, and the clothes and everything were corroded and rotten, and they couldn't tell the difference.
"It's... These are all ......" the old village chief asked in disbelief with a trembling voice.
"Yes, these are the lost children in your village, these bones are obviously not adult skeletons, you should also distinguish them."
A group of men who even dared to fight monsters cried bitterly in front of this pile of white bones. Most of them are fathers who have lost their children.
Bai Lan sighed: "If my guess is correct, that monster is currently lurking in the well in your village, devouring the essence and blood of young children to cultivate. The hidden demon who sucked more than 100 children, no wonder the land god died tragically, and the city god also pretended to be deaf and dumb. I'm afraid that his way is not shallow. ”
"Childe, Immortal Chief, please avenge us!"
"Yes, Immortal Chief, as long as you are willing to take action to subdue demons, I will definitely set up an immortal monument for you, and I will honor you for a lifetime!"
Bai Lan was a little hesitant in his heart, there was a big demon who dared to hide in the world and devour more than 100 children, there was no heavenly calamity, there was no god to subdue the demon, and the city god also ignored it, there must be something greasy in this.
He has no relatives and no reason with these people, and there is no cause and effect, if it is a little demon, he will naturally do it, but if it is a big demon, is it necessary to take this risk?
The trade-off was decided in his heart, and once as a human consciousness told him that he should go, but now his selfishness and cold-bloodedness as a demon and his alienation from humans persuaded him to protect himself wisely and not to provoke dangerous right and wrong.
Bai Lan was silent, the road of refining his heart was really not smooth. Walking in the world and laughing at all living beings is to moisturize things silently and refine the mind, and pay attention to a subtle and subtle.
Entering the WTO and entering the game and experiencing it personally is the refining of the heart of a momentary choice and seeking an immediate sublimation.
The identity between the demon and the human race, the trade-off between selfishness and selflessness, this moment makes Bai Lan in his heart, no matter which one he chooses, he is looking for countless excuses and reasons to persuade himself.
The snake on his arm slowly climbed down, bowed to Bai Lan and left, and the villagers did not dare to stop it, only the pleading king looked at Bai Lan.
Bai Lan raised his eyes to look at the departing Xuan Snake, his heart flickered, and he stretched out his hand to release a Taiyin vitality to nourish his body, which could be regarded as a reward for helping.
The snake has a spirit, and when he looked back, he saw that his hair was tied in white clothes, like an immortal entering the world.
"Let's go."
A clear voice sounded, and the villagers were so excited that they dared to lead the way.
Bai Lan led the horse and a group of villagers into Xinhukou Village.
Thinking that he is his own way, even the Gu Sect of the Seven Gu Sects dares to fight, so why be afraid of this side of the monster?
Bai Lan figured it out, he is a human and a demon, not half a demon and half human, but the ancestor of man and demon, which can be called a god.
He is the king of the southern Yushan Mansion, who holds the five immortals and judges good and evil, this is the path he has set himself, and the mercy of God is not divided by species.
