Chapter 35 Public Opinion

Xu Xian was surrounded by ghosts and came to the square.

In the center of the square is a high platform, made of bluestone, and the stairs go up in succession, up to several thousands. Behind the high platform is a magnificent building, such as a palace, a temple, and a yamen. It's right in the heart of the city.

The ghosts sang and danced around the high platform, which seemed to be some kind of celebratory ceremony, and laughter and laughter were endless. It's just that there is a lot of noise mixed in with this laughter - screams.

Xu Xian took a look, only to see Zhao Caizi being tied up on a long table, and the ghost next to him could hold a knife and cut it carefully, Zhao Caizi didn't even have the strength to cry his father and call his mother, and he screamed twice weakly when the knife fell. Although Xu Xian had heard the cruelty of this Great Moon King, he still found it difficult to accept it when he saw it with his own eyes. Although Zhao Caizi is hateful, he is not guilty.

The ghosts offered Xu Xian and Wu Bo at the bottom of the steps, and after praying, they retreated one after another and joined the group of ghosts singing and dancing.

Xu Xian stepped forward to save Zhao Caizi first, but he was already delirious. The ghost of the execution made a gesture that he had to resist first, and was gently pushed by Xu Xian, and he slowly fell into a ball, groaning and unable to stand up. The guards next to him did not squint, as if they were waiting for the order of the Great Moon King.

The Great Moon King, who sat on the throne, asked in an indifferent voice, "Who are you? "With his eyes, he only saw a golden light and fire, and he knew that Xu Xian was not easy to deal with.

Xu Xian frowned, and instead of answering, he asked, "Who are you? ”

The King of the Great Moon said: "I am the King of the Great Moon, and I have saved all the people from fire and water. Now the law is strict to set an example, and it is for the well-being of the whole city. I think you are also in the midst of cultivation, so why don't you know right from wrong? For the sake of you not being a resident of this city, leave quickly!" After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Take away the dead ghost under your feet!"

Xu Xian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and said, "The people are happy." ”

With a wave of his sleeves, he pointed to the ghosts in the audience and asked, "Do you think they are happy?"

The ghosts were attracted by the conversation between the two, and they had long forgotten to sing and dance, and they were suddenly pointed at by Xu Xian, and their hearts were all terrified. It is inevitable that there will be some complaints, "You just talk to her, why bother with us." But I also hope that someone can really put an end to the current situation.

The Great Moon King's eyes swept away, and all the ghosts said in unison: "Anle, Anle." As he spoke, he nodded his head, making a look of being extremely satisfied with his current life, and some even refuted Xu Xianlai loudly.

Xu Xian was really helpless against this group of ghosts, but he could also understand that the common people throughout the ages were not like this? It is conceivable that if they win, of course they would be grateful to themselves, but if they were defeated, they would definitely be criticized and treated as rebellious ministers and thieves.

And in this process, the smart one will never take any responsibility, and will always be the face of the victim, the evil ghost is rampant and domineering, the evil ghost is not good, and the king of the big moon is strict and the law is in his heart to resent the king of the big moon, and when he beats away the king of the big moon, if it doesn't go well, he will have to complain about the initiator Xu Xian.

Uncle Wu, who had been silent all along, suddenly jumped up and roared hoarsely: "You group of dead ghosts, how long will you have to endure it, if you are alive, and if you die, will you still have to endure it? This son next to me has strong mana, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Great Moon King and let us live a comfortable life. "He also worked hard in the rivers and lakes during his lifetime, and he has more blood and courage than ordinary ghosts. This kind of talk has long been enough.

However, perhaps because he understood that he was not Xu Xian's opponent, the Great Moon King just looked at this rebel indifferently, without any reaction, the more angry he was at this time, the easier it was to fall behind, and if he made a rash move, there would obviously be no good consequences. Xu Xian also took his thoughts, and while guarding against the Great Moon King's attack on Uncle Wu, he waited for the development of things.

At this time, a person walked out of the crowd: "Uncle Wu, I say that I respect you as an elder, how can you talk like this, these two people are unknown, and what do you say to let us live a comfortable life." Although this Great Moon City is a little inconvenient, it is better than going to hell to suffer. And if it weren't for the Great Moon King, there would still be evil ghosts rampant here, and we wouldn't know what it would be!

This person is the person who politely persuaded Xu Xian to come to the square, he is young but he dresses up for show, he must have been a scholar when he was born, and he spoke in a clear manner. Compared to Uncle Wu's roar, it seemed to be more convincing, and he was well-known in the city, and all the ghosts nodded when they heard it.

Wu Bo said angrily: "Li Xiucai, I usually say that I am a scholar, so I respect you for three points, it turns out that it is an eggless thing." Oh, I see, since the Great Moon King, you only persuaded others to be beaten, but you have never been beaten yourself, no wonder you talk like this. And your "upright gentleman" face is used to wearing it, so naturally you only feel a little inconvenience. Phew, doglegs. He suppressed a lot of words, and let go all of a sudden, and King Dayue couldn't take care of it, how could he be afraid of a Li Xiucai.

Li Xiucai's face turned red suddenly, pointed at Uncle Wu, and scolded angrily: "Oh, old horseman, Hugh's nonsense." When the evil spirits were rampant, you were one of the evil spirits, and the king was benevolent, so he did not destroy you together, and now he has left behind the seed of evil. No wonder you are bent on breaking the current peace, without the Great Moon King, what kind of son are you following, it is natural for the surname to bully us. ”

The two of them were arguing, and Li Xiucai's words were hidden in the cotton, with guns and sticks, and even ruthless. Uncle Wu often greeted his ancestors for eighteen generations and greeted his old mother, with pleasure in vulgarity. Swearing is also a felony in Dayue City, he hasn't spoken like this for a long time, no matter what the result is this time, the surname Suo will scold well.

The ghosts felt justified when they heard that, and they felt happy when they heard this, and their hearts were also struggling.

Seeing that the situation had become uncontrollable, the Great Moon King suddenly spoke: "Boy, do you dare to gamble with me?"

Xu Xian frowned and said, "How to gamble?"

King Dayue said: "The people's hearts are their own hearts, why not let them themselves, you insist on saying that they are unhappy, why not let them decide for themselves." I believe that you are standing in the east, believe that I am standing in the west, it is best to compare the numbers, if they all choose you, you don't need to fight, I will naturally abdicate and make way for Xian. Otherwise, please leave quickly!"

This is the method of the superiors, Xu Xian originally came for Zhao Caizi, and now he is facing the Great Moon King to find an explanation for the ghosts. And the Great Moon King envoy is a strategy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, "The people you are running for don't need you as much as you think." "He's very clever in this way, but it seems to be very fair. calculated the psychology of Xu Xian and the psychology of the ghosts in the city. I thought that if I didn't use the sword soldiers, I could force Xu Xian to leave.

Xu Xian said: "Okay, I'll take a look at it with you." It's not that he can't see the Great Moon King's thoughts, it's just that if this group of people doesn't even have the courage to oppose it, they just want to be rescued without taking any risks.

Why should he bother to break their "happy" life? And he really can't promise them that defeating the Great Moon King will give them a so-called better life.

Thinking of this, a golden flame flew out of his hand and landed on a stone beast on the side of the square, burning and melting. He said to the demons, "If you believe me, I have a way to get you out of trouble." ”

Although the flame was seen from a distance, it had already made the Great Moon King feel frightened, he was knowledgeable, his pupils shrank, and said, "The sun is really hot!" I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in the choice just now, and I didn't make a move with Xu Xian. He had seen this kind of flame for a long time, and the power of that flame still palpitated when he thought about it now.

Here Uncle Wu ran loudly, and here Li Xiucai also recounted the benefits of today. Xu Xiansuo sat on the steps, waiting for the results to come out. But after a while, the results came out, and there were very few people who supported Xu Xian.

Because everyone is very smart and supports the Great Moon King, no matter what the result is, they will not suffer, after all, Xu Xian does not look like a person who tortures indiscriminately. And if you support Xu Xian, if Xu Xian is defeated, it will be bad luck, and the methods of the Great Moon King are not for fun.

Wu Bo was so anxious that his face was red, but no matter how he appealed, he could not get the support of all the ghosts. Xu Xian just shook his head helplessly, and was about to leave. At this time, Zhao Caizi came to his senses, looked at Xu Xian in surprise and said, "You, what kind of doctor are you?"

Xu Xian nodded and said: "If you don't listen to me, you shouldn't have come to save you, if it weren't for the fact that you are the only son in the family, you would have been left here to suffer a thousand knives." "He is actually about the same age as Zhao Caizi, but he has been a man in two lives, and he has experienced many things in the world, so he has a bit of an elder reprimanding the younger generation.

If Zhao Caizi heard others say this, he had to point his nose and scold, "What kind of thing are you, dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this." But after experiencing half a day in this gloomy and depressing ghost town, and suffering so much, I suddenly heard Xu Xian say this, and it was really like seeing the clouds, and he said with surprise: "You, you mean, I can still live?"

Xu Xian nodded, Zhao Caizi was overjoyed, his lips trembled but he couldn't speak, it was just that he was born with a strong seed, and he had never said anything soft in his life. only knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Xian three times, and called "brother".

Bai Suzhen had been standing outside the circle, but when she saw that the matter had come to this, she couldn't help sighing, and went to Xu Xian's side and said, "Hanwen, let's go!"

Zhao Caizi hurriedly visited his sister-in-law again, but he was ashamed of Bai Suzhen. Xu Xian said: "Not married yet, don't talk nonsense." ”

The Great Moon King couldn't help but ask, "What does Your Majesty think?"

Xu Xian could only say to Bai Suzhen: "Sister, let's go!"

Although Zhao Caizi was very curious about the relationship between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, he knelt down and refused to leave at this moment, pointing to the Great Moon King on the high platform and said, "The younger brother only asks my brother to avenge me." "He has suffered so much since he was a child. Now seeing that the Great Moon King is very afraid of Xu Xian, how can he not think of revenge.

Xu Xian said: "I have a gambling contract with him in advance, how can I not believe in my words, go with me quickly." ”

Zhao Caizi stretched his limbs, lying on the ground and refused to get up, Xu Xian frowned and said: "If you don't get up again, I'll leave, where do you love to die!"

Zhao Caizi said: "The surname is a small matter, but revenge is a big matter." I'd rather die with the king, just to get out of this breath. Big brother, you have a big fist, what kind of reason do you talk to this bastard, you can fight if you want, why embarrass the surname of the younger brother?"

Xu Xian was about to kick him twice, but his heart moved, "Yes, didn't I want to beat him? Grandpa's, I was almost surrounded by this old boy." Looking at the Great Moon King on the high platform, the Great Moon King was shocked in his heart, and said inwardly: "What do you want to do, do you want to keep your promise?"

Xu Xian sighed and said: "It's not about the gambling contract, they love Taiping and then live well." But there's one thing this kid doesn't mention, I almost forgot. ”

King Dayue said: "What?" but there was an ominous premonition in his heart.

Xu Xian clenched his fists and said viciously: "Lao Tzu sees that you are unhappy, and he wants to beat you hard." As he spoke, he walked up the steps, and King Dayue hurriedly said, "Escort, escort." ”

The guards under the high platform rushed up one after another, but they were waved by Bai Suzhen, and they rolled away, and then fell to the ground one by one, refusing to get up. As he spoke, Xu Xian had already ascended the high platform, and the Great Moon King turned into a cloud of black mist and wanted to escape, Xu Xian reached out and grabbed the front of the Great Moon King.

Under the watchful eye of the public, on the high platform. King Dayue's face was full of horror, and Zhao Caizi was full of joy. Xu Xianhu punched the Great Moon King in the face, and Ping Tianguan fell to the ground and rolled down the steps. was stretched out by Zhao Caizi and stepped on it.

The ghosts couldn't help but let out an "ah", they didn't know what it was like in their hearts, they just slowly moved their steps and turned to the camp that supported Xu Xian.

Xu Xian only felt that his heart was happy, and his thoughts were also a lot clearer. What is the love of the ghosts in this city, and what does it have to do with themselves? As long as he does not violate his conscience, the eldest husband can indulge in his own actions, so why bother to talk about any reasoning and what is wrong.

The people's hearts are not my hearts, and I would rather learn to be crazy than to learn the wishes of the country. Why bother to reluctantly represent others, what is the will of God, I only represent myself. No matter what others think, let's talk about it first. One punch comes and one punch comes again, and the punch is full of joy.

Although the Great Moon King is called the king, he is only the apex of the Yin God, and he is not at the same level as the Yang God Xu Xian. The difference is like the difference between a heavyweight and a lightweight champion. Xu Xian didn't talk about any rules and regulations, he only used the king's eight punches, and he didn't beat the king of the big moon.

Uncle Wu looked at it happily, but suddenly remembered something and reminded: "Childe, boy, his eyes." ”

At this moment, the moon has tilted, but it is still sprinkled with a gentle and cold white light. However, a cloud of light suddenly burst out on the high platform, brighter and colder than this moonlight, but this light came from the eyes of the Great Moon King, and it passed into Xu Xian's eyes along the line of sight.
