Chapter 57: Crime

Taoist priests are not popular in this mountain village. In fact, there are very few places where Taoist priests are popular in the world nowadays.

If Whack Qin and He Mu were here, they would definitely dissuade the three Taoist priests from doing anything with Red Silk, because they didn't want Red Silk to be injured or hurt by the three Taoist priests.

The three Taoist priests were [Tianque Mountain] Pan Chang, Kong Qing and Zhao Jue, who were separated from Li Hong and his party not long ago. After they parted ways with Li Hong, they continued to walk westward, and when they came to the vicinity, they heard about the reputation of the Holy Fire Sect and the Red Silk in this area, and they were about to meet this [Red Sword Shura] who traveled thousands of miles for a while, but it happened that they saw the light of the red silk from a distance that night, so they rushed to inquire about the news.

When the mountain people heard that there was a Taoist priest here, they immediately became excited, and without much effort, the torches gathered together, and there were more and more people.

The little man in the lead came to the front one step earlier, and without saying a word, he saluted the red silk first, and then mustered up the courage to shout to Pan Chang: "We don't welcome Taoist priests here, you guys get out of here!"

Pan Chang's face sank: "This is the territory of [Tianque Mountain], and the Taoist priest is the real master here, how can you be so rude?

The man sneered, and he could hear that there was some weakness in his laughter, but because of the red silk beside him, he still mustered up the courage and shouted loudly as much as he could: "The land under heaven belongs to the people of the world! Not the Taoist priests! And you support those landlords and lords, and squeeze our hard work, how many places where the common people can't afford to eat, do you know?"

Pan Chang was stunned, he was born in a wealthy family, and grew up in [Tianque Mountain] since he was a child, and he never knew about the people's suffering. As for the territory being handed over to the lord to take care of, this is something that has been like this since ancient times, it is simply natural and normal, so he doesn't feel anything wrong at all. He looked helplessly at Kong Qing and Zhao Jue behind him, both of whom had the same expressions.

"Land...... It was taken back by the Taoist priest from the demon clan, without the Taoist gate, the world would not be the world of human beings, do you know this?" Pan Chang admitted his death and told the historical facts he knew.

However, the villagers only live for a few decades, and they don't care about the history that is so long, and they don't care about the historical basis. Especially people who have read a little bit of books and understand some truths are afraid that they will be deceived, so they are even more reluctant to tell the 'truth' in other people's mouths. The little mountain man laughed wildly when he heard this: "How long will you Taoist priests deceive the people of the world with the lies they have made up?" Speaking of demon extermination, three years ago, your Taoist priest killed the demon here, and the demon was killed by you, but do you know how many mortals died in that battle?"

Pan Chang naturally didn't know. Taoist demon removal is demon removal, if mortals die because of this, it is a helpless trivial matter in the eyes of Taoist priests. Especially since ten years ago, many youkai in the southwestern wilderness suddenly wandered into the world, and this kind of thing has happened very commonly.

"That's not all!" A slightly older black-faced man shouted, "Our village is called Monkey Head Village, because five hundred years ago, that ...... That Taoist priest eliminated the demon and killed a monkey demon,...... As a result, hundreds of people were killed casually, and my grandfather's brother died at that time!"

Zhao Jue couldn't help but correct: "Five hundred years ago, at that time, your grandfather's brother was probably not born yet!"

It was normal for the farmer to speak clearly, and the villagers did not lower their trust in him because Zhao Jue pointed out the mistake of the black-faced man, and more people shouted: "That's right! That's right! Taoist priests killed more people than monsters!"

"We are here in the territory of the Holy Fire Sect, Daoist get out of here!"

"Get out of here!"

Pan Chang was helpless, remembering the incident of the mountain people attacking the temple and robbing the mortal priests he had encountered before, and knew that reasoning would not work, so he used a spell and shouted: "Look at it, it was the [Holy Fire Sect] law enforcement you trusted who killed the old mother of this family!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and released a ball of fire, illuminating the scene.

Only then did people see the eldest of the Chen family, the uncle of the Chen family, and the aunt of the Chen family who was lying in a pool of blood, but the second eldest of the Chen family and the newly bought daughter-in-law were missing.

"This ...... What's going on?"

Only then did some people remember that they had come here because they had heard the screams of the Chen family.

Many villagers turned their attention to the red silk, which had been silent.

Red Silk said coldly: "It's right that I killed people! Because they violated the teachings of the Divine Religion!"

"Oh, I see!" The people breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that the Chen family had been punished for violating the teachings, and everyone's hearts were much better.

The eldest of the Chen family, who was crying with snot and tears, shouted in a rough voice: "We didn't violate the doctrine, it's just because I bought a daughter-in-law...... Which of you didn't buy it? Wang Ergou, your daughter-in-law, did you buy it? Chai Sandun, what about you?"

The crowd fell silent, but there was a stirring in the dark.

Hongsilk sneered: "Not only did he buy a daughter-in-law, but he also kept saying that he wanted to betray the Divine Sect! Any of you also want to betray the Divine Sect?"

Someone in the crowd trembled and asked, "Is it a crime to buy a daughter-in-law?"

"Our village has been like this since ancient times!"

......

"It used to be so, but not now!" said Red Silk in a tone that could not be denied, "the first doctrine of the Doctrine of God: All men are equal, and there is no human traffic!

The crowd fell silent, and no one spoke, acquiescing.

The villagers believe in the Holy Fire Sect, but if the Holy Fire Sect wants to reform their own lives, this is not possible! Not to mention that they are not allowed to buy and sell their daughters-in-law, what should the men of the whole village do? However, in the face of the tough red silk, they have temporarily chosen to retreat, but they will never change.

Pan Chang shook his head: "If you suppress them with such strong means, they won't change!"

Hongxian also shook his head: "You losers, you don't have to preach to the winners! If they don't change, I will come back every day to supervise them and kill them until they change! If this generation can't change, then leave the next generation to change!" As he spoke, his murderous aura filled his body. Compared with the three Taoist priests in front of them, the villagers were obviously more afraid of red silk.

Pan Chang disagreed, but he knew that he still had no chance to win the hearts of the villagers, not to mention that the evil behavior of these villagers in buying and selling human beings was indeed intolerable. With the behavior of Taoist priests, when encountering this kind of thing, most of them will leave it alone, the so-called out of sight and out of mind, Taoist priests do not want to be affected by the world to affect their state of mind.

It didn't take much effort, the second child of the Chen family and the daughter-in-law bought by their family were brought back. Chen Lao Er fell to his knees and watched his eldest brother cry silently, while a young woman with a disheveled hair next to him cried and asked for red silk to save her life. (To be continued.) )
