Humans and demons are not different
Xu Yongzhen finished speaking.
Xu Wugen still knelt on the ground and repented, if he hadn't insisted on asking the man in black at the beginning, the young people in the village wouldn't have been, and his own children wouldn't have suffered such a thing.
He whimpered in pain, but there was no one to comfort him.
If he harmed the people of the same village because of his kindness, but because of his desire, he tried to unite the demons.
This situation is against ethics and morals in Dajin, not to mention that Xu Yaer herself is unwilling.
In Xu Yongzhen's words, the one who caught Shen Ning's attention the most was of course the man in black who could turn people into monsters.
If his kind of elixir could be produced in large quantities, it would be difficult for Shen Ning to imagine that terrifying scene.
He hadn't thought too much about it, but he heard Li Hongye say lightly: "Although you are not a natural demon, but you are messing with demons and mutilating your compatriots is indeed true, so you should be punished as you deserve." ”
Seeing that Li Hongye had moved to kill, Xu Wugen, who was still repenting, reacted at this time.
Kneeling down and came to Li Hongye's face, he wept bitterly and kowtowed, and begged bitterly: "Shangxian, I beg you, let my son go, the old man is just this child, if you want to kill it, just scrape my old man, Yongzhen He is also forced to be helpless!" ”
"It's hard to know what to do, but it's easier said to do." Unexpectedly, Li Hongye's words made Xu Wugen's heart sink to the bottom, "You know that this is against the peace of heaven, but for your own interests, you still do not hesitate to hurt others, and for this reason, many people have paid the price of their lives, I can't forgive you on behalf of those people, Xu Wugen, you are the same, you are not qualified to intercede for your son." ”
When Shen Ning heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at his gentle and lovely senior sister on weekdays, but he didn't expect that she would have such a cold side, which was a little similar to the girl in Shenjing City.
Xu Wugen was like being struck by lightning, his scalp was broken, and the blood stained the stone slab on the ground, and he kept begging: "Please, let my son go, all the sins happened because of me, an old immortal, and all the punishments and all the faults are attributed to me." ”
"Dad, don't beg them."
Xu Yongzhen looked at his humble father, and his heart was inexplicably sour, as a demon, he had actually dealt with cultivators for a long time in these years, and knew that they regarded demons as enemies, and it was impossible to let them go, so instead of being ridiculed and humiliated, it was better to retain the last trace of dignity before dying.
Shen Ning looked at the two fathers and sons, sighed slightly, stopped Li Hongye, who was about to make a move, and sighed: "Senior sister, maybe there is a better solution to this matter." ”
"Little junior brother, just tell me what you have in front of me."
Li Hongye has always been tolerant of Shen Ning, and the leader of this operation is undoubtedly Shen Ning, so he will naturally listen to his opinions.
"As a chess edict, the emperor often gives me the right to look through documents from all over the world, and I often see the four words Yi Zi and eat on it." Shen Ning stood in the cave, and as he spoke, his expression became serious, "So I always wonder, these people who exchange children for food, are they guilty, because if they don't exchange children, they not only have to die, but the children can't live, but if they exchange children, they are not worthy of being people, if they are just an ordinary person, what kind of choice will they make when they encounter this kind of thing in a helpless situation, of course I am willing to die and let the children live, but this is impossible, because I die, Children will be eaten by other victims, so my choice may be the same as those people. ”
Li Hongye frowned slightly, there is actually no clear statement for this kind of thing, after all, he is not in that environment, and he doesn't know other variables, but according to Shen Ning, most people will even make such a choice without other help.
Shen Ning continued: "Actually, what is the difference between Xu Yongzhen's behavior and those parents who eat their children, we can't deny the fact that he used to be a human just because he is a demon now, he just wants to live by doing all this." ”
"So what does little junior brother mean?" Li Hongye asked,
Shen Ning said slowly: "Driven by the desire to survive, it is possible and forgivable to do anything, of course, I am not saying that Xu Yongzhen is innocent, on the contrary, he is guilty, but I think that killing a person who does not have the ambition of a demon beast will not improve the situation in Xujiazhuang, so I am ready to spare his life to check the nearby Baili Mountains, if a new monster appears, then he is our best eyeliner, and he is also responsible for sheltering the people of this side, I think this will be the best way to deal with it." ”
Li Hongye's brows furrowed even tighter, and after a long time, she spoke: "Do you know what this means, the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion secretly release monsters?" Do you know what you have to face when the imperial court knows about this matter, and when the hundred schools of Xianmen know about this matter? ”
Shen Ning smiled and nodded, "Senior sister, I naturally know. ”
"Then you still make such a proposal, I will never allow it."
Li Hongye had no intention of letting go of Xu Wugen, but now listening to Shen Ning say this, it is very likely that Shen Ning will fall into the point of verbal criticism and writing of the hundred schools of the Xianmen, or even to the point of attacking it in groups, you must know that the disciples of the hundred schools of the Xianmen die in the hands of demons every year, that is tens of thousands!
"Senior sister, humans and demons can't fight among themselves anymore." Li Hongye's reaction was expected by Shen Ning, perhaps most of the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion would react in this way when they knew his idea, so he patiently explained: "Senior sister, the current Great Jin has Beimang coming to attack, and there are demons, treacherous mountains, and evil gods inside, and the Tsing Yi Division and the Heavenly Master's Mansion no longer have enough strength to suppress these strengths, for us, if we really want peace in the world." ”
Speaking of this, Shen Ning's eyes froze, "Maybe there is only one way to join forces with the demon clan, not to mention that Li Yongzhen's predecessor was originally a human being, and this kind of behavior can be regarded as a reconciliation signal from us to the demon clan, the demon who is willing to coexist peacefully with the human race will stay, and if he is unwilling, he will kill him!" ”
Li Hongye listened to Shen Ning's sonorous and powerful voice, and knew that the little junior brother was not simply letting go of Li Yongzhen, and the deep meaning behind this made her take a deep look, this little junior brother who has been seriously practicing his goals since he was a child.
After a long time, she finally agreed to Shen Ning's plan.
Now that Li Hongye agreed, Wang Yan no longer objected, and as for Gu Yanwu, he didn't think of interfering in this kind of thing at all.
After Shen Ning and the others decided to let go of their father and son, Xu Yongzhen looked incredulous, but according to Shen Ning's request, in order to prevent him from doing anything harmful to the people in the future, a ban was placed in his body, once he was contaminated with human flesh and blood, the demonic energy in his body would eat him back and die.
"When the matter in my hand is over, I will personally report the situation here to Your Majesty, and get an official reward from the imperial court for you, even if you have achieved the mountain god fruit position of the Baili Mountain Range in Xujiazhuang, you will be one step closer to the position of the master of the incense road, of course, the premise is that in the days when I leave, I want the people of this land to be smooth and free from the invasion of demon beasts, if there is a demon you can't beat, you can send someone to Yangcheng, a hundred miles away from Xujiazhuang, where is the Tsing Yi Division Branch, Where you can get help. ”
Shen Ning's words can be described as a big stick with sugar, but even so, Xu Yongzhen is also willing.
Because he knew in his heart that this was his best ending, and even exceeded his expectations, if he could really get the reward of the imperial court and truly become the mountain god of the Baili Mountains near Xujiazhuang, then he could even be immortal for a thousand years, and immortal for a thousand years after death, which is an immortality that many people can't pursue in their lives.
"As for your ....." Shen Ning glanced at Xu Wugen, who was stunned, and sighed slightly, since Xu Yongzhen was released, then he naturally wouldn't be stupid to punish Xu Wugen anymore, so he said: "Although you have evil thoughts in your heart, fortunately, you haven't made any big mistakes, as long as you come into contact with the marriage contract with Xu Yaer's family, this matter is understood." ”
Xu Wugen was relieved to hear that Shen Ning let go of Li Yongzhen, but when he heard that he was going to contact the marriage contract with Xu Yaer's family, he was naturally reluctant in his heart, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Gu Yanwu's fierce appearance at the right time, so he had to swallow what he was about to say, nodded helplessly, and agreed to this matter.
When they returned to Xujiazhuang, Shen Ning and others sent Xu Wugen back, and nothing happened tonight.
Shen Ning's plan to make Xu Yongzhen a mountain god is still too early for others to find out.
In a short period of time, Xu Yongzhen can hide in the shadows to protect Xujiazhuang as before.
When Shen Ning finishes dealing with the affairs of Henan, when the time comes, Emperor Jing personally asks Xu Yongzhen for a reward, so as to serve as an example for the demons of the world's incense and fire paths, and he can be regarded as able to achieve his goal.
Although Li Hongye and Shen Ning have different opinions on dealing with Xu Yongzhen's matter, he is always tolerant of this little junior brother.
Just don't forget to remind him to be careful, after all, what Shen Ning wants to do, but no one has dared to take action for it in the hundred years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.
told Xu Ya'er and her brother what happened in the cave, and the two of them were very surprised that Xu Yongzhen was the fox fairy in their mouth.
"Brother Xu is a very good person, I often helped our family after my parents passed away, maybe if this incident didn't happen....." Xu Ya'er's words were not without sadness.
Gu Yanwu comforted: "This world is like this, it is always so unreasonable, it is not easy for us to survive." ”
"Well, thank you, Brother Gu."
Xu Ya'er glanced at Gu Yanwu gratefully.
A few people talked for a long time in this room about this.
Not only arranged the period for the Xu family sisters and brothers to go to Shenjing City, but also prepared to continue south to Henan Province.
Three days later, in the early morning, the Xu family sisters and brothers got on the ox cart bought from the village, and drove on the road leisurely, looking at Shen Ning's figure that they were leaving, Xu Yaer and Xu Changgeng waved reluctantly.
"Big brother, big sister, we'll see you in Shenjing City."
"Okay."
Shen Ning and they responded.
This move caused many villagers to look over here, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "The sisters and brothers of the Xu family have taken great luck, they have fallen in love with the immortals, and they want to leave Xujiazhuang, and now the village does not dare to stop them." ”
Thinking about it in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, saying goodbye to the Xu family sisters and brothers, and some of them didn't forget to send some food to make them delicious on the road.
Xu Ya'er accepted it with a smile, and when the carriage drove out of a distance, Xu Changgeng said disdainfully: "Why didn't I see them so kind before, but now it's just that we can go to Shenjing City, I'm afraid that we will retaliate against them in the future." ”
Xu Ya'er, who was driving the ox cart, turned back to her younger brother who was sitting on the wooden board behind, pointed lightly on her forehead, and said angrily: "Anyway, it's also the intention of others, do you really want to take revenge on them?" ”
"Hmph." Xu Changgeng snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I want to be like Brother Shen and Brother Gu, the people who want to do great things in the future, just a few villagers, who will care about them!" ”
"That's right!" Xu Yaer likes Xu Changgeng's open-mindedness very much.
Perhaps because of his sister's praise, Xu Changgeng was a little excited for a while, he actually stood on the carriage, pointed his finger to the sky, and shouted with his left hand on his waist: "I, Xu Changgeng, when I go to Chang'an, I must make a difference, so that the world knows that there is still Xu Changgeng!" ”
"Come down, don't fall."
Xu Yaer didn't care about her brother's rhetoric, she only hoped that her sister and brother could live a good life, as for the rest, it didn't matter, the most important thing now was that the ox cart was shaky, and she was very worried that Xu Changgeng would fall.
"Alright, alright." Xu Changgeng sat down and said with a smile: "I'm a person who wants to be a big hero, I won't be so careless." ”
"You, how old are you, and you're still so naughty." Xu Ya'er glanced at Xu Changgeng with disgust.
The latter smiled indifferently.
Looking at the distant figures of the Xu family's sisters and brothers, Wang Yan scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Since it's okay, then we should also go." ”
"Okay, the next place to go is Weicheng, I heard that where the burning knife wine is a must!" Gu Yanwu looked at the map, these days he stayed in Xujia Village and waited for Xu Ya'er's sister and brother to pack up their things and go to Shenjing City, he could be said to be suffocated, and when he thought that there would be a famous wine in the next town, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Everyone nodded, the time is indeed not early, it is indeed time to rush to Henan Road.
Perhaps except for Shen Ning, no one else noticed that in the direction where Xu Ya'er's sister and brother left, there was a fox demon watching the pair of sisters and brothers like them.
