Chapter 310: Where to Go?
As soon as the magistrate spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, which made him regain the feeling of being in the spotlight before, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, because the panic caused by the monster massacre also dissipated a lot.
Before Chen Xuanzang could speak, he saw Miss Duan step forward and block in front of him, and snorted coldly: "I don't know if I should talk about it or not, then don't talk about it!"
"......" Zhixian froze there all of a sudden, his face was embarrassed, you don't play cards according to the routine, logically speaking, shouldn't you answer "But it doesn't hurt to say"?
However, in the end, he was a man in the officialdom, his skin was thick enough, and he smiled shyly, but he didn't hear it, and continued to speak: "I thought about it, there are some things that need to be mentioned to Master Xuanzang. β
I've really been an official for a long time, and I still refuse to stop at this time!
Miss Duan's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, how could she not see that this Zhixian was cautious, leading such a group of people, it was clearly the idea of taking advantage of the situation to suppress people, and the golden light flashed on the tip of her right finger, and she was ready to teach him a lesson.
At this moment, Chen Xuanzang stepped forward, grabbed her, turned his head to look at the magistrate, and said, "Lord magistrate, if you have anything to say, it's okay!"
"Master Xuanzang was merciful and saved us all from the mouth of the monster, and we are all very grateful to the master. As soon as they discussed waiting for this disaster to end, they raised funds to build a temple for the master and gilded it with a golden Buddha statue to thank the master for saving his life. Zhixian's face was full of gratitude, and his hands were folded, looking like a devout believer.
Behind him, a group of people also nodded again and again, indicating that they had indeed discussed this matter, and some even began to promise how big the temple would be repaired, and how the golden body would be done.
Chen Xuanzang frowned, he just had a simple personality, he was not a fool, he didn't want to waste any more time, and said straight to the point: "The Buddha said that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and I rescued you, not for any temple golden body." If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Master Gaode, we really admire!"
Zhixian patted his ass wildly, not caring that Chen Xuanzang in front of him was much younger than him, and he didn't blush at all, and then he changed his words, his face changed to a sad expression, and his tone was full of sincerity: "We can also understand the idea that the master wants to save more people, but now Huncheng has been reduced to a demon cave, and there are man-eating monsters everywhere, not to mention tens of thousands." But there are only two people in the master and Miss Duan, and the manpower is limited, and it is impossible to rescue everyone, but it is likely to expose us to the monsters, not only will we not be able to save people, but we will also fall into a place of no return, and in the end, I am afraid that no one will be able to escape!"
Miss Duan's face was already cold, and she wanted to teach him a lesson, but when she heard Zhixian's words, she stopped her movements, because what Zhixian said was also her idea, but she couldn't bear to say it because she was afraid of Chen Xuanzang's feelings, and Zhixian did him a favor by picking out all this.
Zhixian clasped his hands together and continued: "It is already a merit that the master can save so many people, please think about my life and don't save people again!"
The rest of the people naturally understand the truth that the more people there are, the more dangerous they are, not to mention the people who have been with the team for a long time, even the people who were rescued by Chen Xuanzang just now, they also begged together: "Please master stop saving people!"
Chen Xuanzang looked at the group of people in front of him, looking at the pleading look on everyone's face, his expression was full of confusion, he was just instinctively saving people before, and he didn't think too much about it at all, but at this time, when he was mentioned by the magistrate, he thought that he didn't completely save them, and they would become the rations of the monsters again at any time in Huncheng.
But he still didn't understand why these people who had just come out of the sea of suffering, no, people who had just surfaced half of their bodies, had such a unified and ruthless attitude towards the survivors who were still drowning in the sea of suffering, forgetting that just a few minutes earlier, they were in the same situation, hoping that someone would save them.
Seeing that Chen Xuanzang had not spoken, the magistrate was a little anxious, and stepped forward and said: "Master, every second we stay there is one more second, and every one more person is one more danger of exposure, other people's lives are lives, and our lives are also lives, you can't risk our lives in order to save other people's lives!"
&bsp;"Lord Zhixian is right, master, you can't risk the lives of so many of us in order to save a few people!" The rest of the people also agreed, and for a moment the sound was a little noisy, causing a monster not far away to look at him with doubt, and a low roar made them close their mouths tightly in fright.
Chen Xuanzang frowned, there was no irritability in his heart, he knew that there was something wrong with what the county said, but he didn't know how to refute it, he couldn't help but look at Miss Duan on the side, but Miss Duan hadn't even read a book, let alone help him solve his doubts.
"Help! Helpββ!"
There was another shout in the distance, Chen Xuanzang's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to save people, but before he could make a move, he was hugged by the magistrate on his thigh, knelt in front of him with a plop, and said: "Master, don't care about them anymore, is the life of a few people important, or the lives of so many of us!" Let's leave quickly!"
The rest of the people also knelt on the ground with a thud, and surrounded Chen Xuanzang in the center, they were afraid of being discovered by the monsters, so they didn't dare to speak, but they just looked at Chen Xuanzang with a blank look, full of pleading.
Is it wrong for me to save people? Is it necessary to die in order to save people? If Master was here, what would He do?
Chen Xuanzang felt that his head was about to explode, he had never thought that he would miss his master so much now.
&bsp;"Xuanzang, are you okay?" Miss Duan couldn't help but be a little worried as she watched Chen Xuanzang's face change.
I couldn't figure it out, Chen Xuanzang simply didn't think about it anymore, no matter what, he wouldn't die without help, turned his head to Miss Duan and said, "You take them away, I'll save people!" We will meet in the broken temple outside the city!"
"No, let's go together, I will definitely not leave you alone!" Miss Duan categorically refused without thinking about it, the monsters in this Huncheng are not all this kind of little demons wandering on the streets, and there are many big demons with profound cultivation, from the news heard from the monsters, the leading few are the thirteen Taibao of Huaguo Mountain who worshipped Sun Wukong at the beginning, which is also the reason why they are cautious.
Miss Duan has seen Sun Wukong's power, and with her current cultivation, she is probably far from being an opponent, so naturally she will not leave Chen Xuanzang alone, even if she wants to lose them, she should throw them down.
Miss Duan glanced at the crowd kneeling on the ground with disgust, and glared at Zhixian viciously, blaming this bastard for saying a lot of nonsense, otherwise how could there be so many things, she was a cultivator in the Xuan Immortal Realm, her eyes were like a sharp sword, and she was frightened to learn that the county's heart trembled, and she only felt that her whole body was soft, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Chen Xuanzang had something to say, but the crying in the distance became more and more poignant, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and turned into a golden light and flew towards that side.
However, this time, it was not as smooth as before.
&bsp;Boom!
A loud bang shook the heavens and the earth in the distance, and the mana was lit up like fireworks, which looked very conspicuous at night, dozens of houses collapsed, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.
"There's an exorcist, there's an exorcist in the city!
A roar came, all the monsters in the entire Huncheng were alarmed, countless monsters put down the human flesh in their hands, carried a big knife and a short axe, and rushed over there, and for a while the demon wind was whistling, and the bluestone ground was trampled by the monsters and shattered into pieces.
"It's been discovered! It must be Chen Xuanzang who has been discovered! I knew it would be like this, I knew it would be like this! I don't let you save people, but you want to go to the hero, it's over, it's all over!" Zhixian sat on the ground, his face full of despair.
"What should we do? What are we going to do?" The rest of the people are the same, their bodies are trembling like a sieve, and they are all well-known figures in Huncheng on weekdays, but those monsters don't care about this, they want human flesh and blood.
&bsp;"Just shut up for me!" Miss Duan frowned, her right hand was open, and the uncertain flying ring suddenly appeared in her hand, her expression was full of worry, and she wanted to rush over immediately, but she also knew that if she left, these people around her would be torn apart by the monster in an instant.
She doesn't care about the life and death of these people, but Chen Xuanzang cares, and what she cares about the most is Chen Xuanzang.
&bsp;"Live...... Live...... Zhixian kept chattering in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he rushed to Miss Duan's face, shouting: "It's still too late for us to leave now, Chen Xuanzang doesn't know whether he wants to save people, and he just attracts all the monsters, we will go out now, we can definitely get out! As long as you rescue me, I can give you 10,000 taels of silver!"
"Yes, we'll go now, we can't wait any longer! I still have thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, as long as I can get out, I will give you the title deed immediately!"
"My brother is an official in Chang'an, as long as you save me, I can promise you anything!"
......
&bsp;The rest of the people also shouted as if they saw a life-saving straw, they had a lot of contact with the exorcist before, and naturally knew that the exorcist was selling his life for money, and threw all kinds of promises out, just to buy his life.
&bsp; "What are you talking about?" Miss Duan's face was extremely pale, anger flashed in her eyes, and a murderous intent emerged, Chen Xuanzang desperately rescued these people, but when danger came, the first thought of these people was to abandon him.
These people were carried away by death threats, and their previous shrewdness had long been lost, and they didn't realize what Miss Duan was angry about, and they only knew how to increase the remuneration, the title deed, gold, silver, and jewelry, and at the same time, they didn't forget to put all the pots on Chen Xuanzang's head, and kept scolding him for being hypocritical.
The more Miss Duan listened, the more she buzzed, but this time she was not aiming at the monsters, but the group of people in front of her, no, they were no longer worthy of being humans.
Just when she was about to hold back her move, a golden light flew over in the distance, Chen Xuanzang was holding a one-year-old baby in his arms, his face was full of anxiety: "The vitality of the monster over there just now was too tenacious, I couldn't kill it in the first place, so he made a noise, let's leave quickly!
Before the words fell, a black smoke billowed from the sky, obscuring half of the sky, and a fierce and cruel voice came: "Go, where are you going!"
