Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Gambling Contract
Li Zhengdao thought for a while, felt that it made sense, and no longer pursued the matter of dinner, and said: "Actually, those two earth demons don't have much profoundness, if you leave the soil, I can destroy the two of them alone, if you trap them in one place, I can also eliminate one, with the help of two junior sisters, it will not be a problem to destroy them all." β
"However, they only besieged the village, and did not cause killing, most of them were not evil in nature, but they were wronged and unwilling, and we still need to find out the truth, we can't wronged a good creature, and we can't let go of a bad person. β
Bai Miaozhen said: "If you look at it this way, the murderer should be in the village." β
"Directly use illusion to drag the whole village into the dream realm, and conduct a guided investigation, won't you know the truth?"
The three of them all looked at Wang Banxian with idiot expressions, and finally their eyes fell on Ying Wuxin's face.
"Ahem-" Ying Wuxin sat down, straightened his posture, and said with a serious face: "This person has nothing to do with me, but he saved his life when he got rid of the evil spirit, and he has to follow me to repay his kindness." β
"Did I say something wrong?" asked Wang Banxian puzzled.
Li Zhengdao glanced at Ying Wuxin, and then looked at Wang Banxian, thinking that this old man could lead the wind and clouds, he also had an idea in his heart, so he said solemnly: "Illusion is not a panacea to find the truth, on the contrary, casting illusion is far more limited than the formula. β
"One is to apply illusion to most people at the same time, which requires a lot of natural energy, the second is that the more objects in the illusion, the greater the pressure on the consciousness of the controller, the third is that the consciousness enters the illusion, and the ontological defense is empty, the fourth is that it cannot guide the consciousness of many people at the same time, and it needs to come one by one, the fifth is that the guidance is not directly viewed, and it may not be able to know everything, the sixth is that even if the object of guidance admits, it may be an illusion, and it has been manipulated by other cultivators in advance, and the seventh is that it may be attacked in the illusion, and the slightest carelessness will be traumatized, and the light will be a headache for several years, and the heavy will become an idiot, and the eighth isβββ
Seeing that Li Zhengdao was going to continue, Wang Banxian hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered: "Understood, understood, it's the little old man, I'm too naΓ―ve, you just treat me as if I didn't say anything, or just treat my words as a fart, don't pay attention to it, don't pay attention to it." β
This guy looked like he was pushing everything clean, and he could only shake his head helplessly, saying that he was really not familiar with this old man, Li Zhengdao originally wanted to teach him well, but when he saw this, he also knew that the mud was not on the wall, so he simply didn't force it, and returned to the topic just now.
Sun Xiaoman glanced at Ying Wuxin and said, "Didn't you say that you let an evil cult dissipate voluntarily in half a day? How are you going to find out the truth this time!"
"Do you want me to come?" Ying Wuxin's eyes widened in surprise, if he dominates, once the evil spirit dissipates voluntarily, then the natural energy and Dao source that he can get will definitely be the most, this is the rule left by the dragon god, no one can trespass and break the rules.
Therefore, when encountering evil and ferocious evils, the cultivators will generally rush to the top, but it is inevitable that there will be injuries and anger in the scramble, and they will be used instead, so there is a rule left between the cultivators, and those who come first have priority, and if they are unable to do anything, or send out an invitation, the later ones can participate.
Once you participate, the benefits you can get in the end will naturally increase, and even if you can't participate in it, you can still harvest a little 'soup' in the end, which is far greater than the usual cultivation gains.
Therefore, even though he knew that there was already a Taoist in Zhang Village, Ying Wuxin still rushed over and prepared to drink some soup, but he didn't expect Sun Xiaoman to take the initiative to give way, which was an unexpected surprise.
"Of course, but there is a time limit, only half a day. Sun Xiaoman said proudly, she absolutely didn't believe that Ying Wuxin would let an evil dissipate voluntarily in half a day, so she deliberately made a gambling contract, if Ying Wuxin failed, she could humiliate the other party and get back her lost face.
Ying Wuxin thought for a while, "Yes, but it should start after dinner." β
After thinking about it, Sun Xiaoman simply nodded, "Yes, it's a word." β
"It's a deal. β
The two reached an agreement in an instant, and Li Zhengdao and Bai Miaozhen, who were watching, had a black line, but they couldn't stop it, because cultivators were the most jealous of dishonesty, and if they stopped Sun Xiaoman now, it would be equivalent to directly destroying the Daoji, so they were extremely depressed and had to accept it.
Wang Banxian's eyes lit up, although he had never experienced such a thing, but looking at Ying Wuxin's appearance, he knew that he would definitely get a lot of benefits this time.
"Little Daoye, what should we do next?" Wang Banxian once again played the role of a pawn.
Ying Wuxin pondered for a moment and said, "At present, we need to confirm as soon as possible whether those two evil spirits in the soil are the two lost children of the Zhang Liujia." β
Li Zhengdao opened his mouth, "This can tell you directly, I have fought with those two earth demons at close range, and I know what they look like, they are indeed a pair of eight or nine-year-old twin girls, and they should be those two children." We've explored the collapsed dirt slope to the west of the village, and there are no bodies in it, but there are traces of activity in the dirt all the way to the village. β
Wang Banxian said with a face full of regret: "So, the two daughters who disappeared from Zhang Liu have now become the two earth demons who plague Zhang Village. β
"The old village chief is not stupid, most of them have guessed, but even if they know the truth, they can't deal with it, they can only pretend that they don't know. Bai Miaozhen said with a frown.
"Will pretend not to know, may not really do nothing, if I guessed correctly, the old village chief must have secretly investigated, but twenty-eight days, no results?"
Wang Banxian said bitterly: "If this is the case, the truth of the matter must be very hidden, we-"
"If you're afraid, you can also admit defeat now?" Sun Xiaoman sneered.
Ying Wuxin stretched out his hand to stop, "Don't, it's still early, let's have dinner first." β
After a while, the old village chief brought a few women to deliver food, because Zhang Village had only been besieged for less than a month, and the food in the village was still enough, all kinds of dried meat and salted fish, and there was also a rare stewed chicken, that is, there were few green vegetables, only one plate, and there were only a few green vegetable leaves in it.
Wang Banxian beckoned everyone to dine together, and as for the wine sent by the old village chief, it was temporarily put aside by Ying Wuxin.
After dinner, the old village chief and a few heads of the house came to inquire about the situation, what should I do next?
Wang Banxian had already received instructions, and said proudly: "The ins and outs of the matter, my little Daoist already knows everything, and he can get rid of the evil tonight, but this evil is also a poor person before his death, he was brutally persecuted, and his methods are extremely bad, so my little Daoist will arrest this hateful murderer and correct the law on the spot." β
"Okay, so what do we do?" the crowd was overjoyed.
"It's simple, just go home and go to bed early, and when you wake up tomorrow, everything will be over." Wang Banxian said solemnly.
Everyone was full of surprise, but when they thought of the matter of Shijiazhuang, they still nodded one after another, and left without saying goodbye.
Sun Xiaoman watched coldly, and when everyone left, he couldn't help but sneer: "Senior brother just said that it is not feasible to dream into illusions to find out the truth, are you still doing this?"
Ying Wuxin picked his teeth, rolled his eyes and said, "Who said I was going to use illusions, this is just a disguise." β
