By this time, a road leading to an island in the middle of the lake had also been completely paved.

Standing on the shore, looking at the paved road, Aguqiyu said happily, "Great, the road to heaven has been paved, and they can finally come over." ”

After a while, I saw Youming and Huang Fan, walking over on the white path covered with salt on both sides.

As soon as You Ming walked ashore, he hurriedly grabbed Yi Dan's hand and shouted happily: "Senior sister, I'm here, we're all here." ”

"Senior brother, are you okay?

"It's okay, Senior Huang and I have come over safely. Youming said.

"Well, that's good. Senior brother, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer in the past few days in Bohai. Yi Dan said.

"I'm fine, you're really suffering, you've worked so hard for me, but I can't help you, it's a shame to think about it. Youming said thoughtfully.

"Senior brother, don't say that, we are like sister and brother, why do you want to say such things to the outside?" Yi Dan said.

"Senior Sister is right, oh yes, have you already subdued that demon in Huang Yuetian?" asked Youming.

"Of course. Zuo Xuantian grabbed Huang Yuetian, who was tied up, and said.

"Zuo Daxia, please escort this person to Uncle Huang and let him send it down personally. Yi Dan said.

"Good. Come over to me. Zuo Xuantian took Huang Yuetian and came to Huang Xun together.

At this time, Huang Fan dragged his beard and hair unkempt and walked over from the island.

Aguqi dragged Huang Xun, who was full of tears, and slowly stepped forward, carefully examining Huang Fan's face: "Fan'er, is it you?" asked Huang Xun in an old and hoarse voice.

Huang Fan recognized his father from Huang Xun's old and white face, which had been absent for 20 years.

"Dad, I'm mortal. Huang Fan said.

Father and son looked at each other and wept. I didn't say a word for a long time.

Father Huang Xun slowly touched Huang Fan's face with a trembling hand. Huang Fan turned his head to the side in embarrassment, and then Huang Xun cried and shouted, "Son, are you my Fan'er?"

Huang Fan knelt on the ground with a pounce and replied crying: "Dad, it's me." I'm a mortal. Dad, you're getting older. ”

"Fan'er, my father thinks about you day and night, can you not be old? I think back then, when we were separated, you were only eighteen years old. I didn't think about it for twenty years, no, you've been tortured like this. Huang Xun cried and said.

"Dad, you've suffered a lot over the years, haven't you?" asked Huang Fan.

"Daddy is fine. Dad is fine, Dad is just concerned about your safety. Dad thought he would never see you again in this life and this life. Huang Xun hugged Huang Fan's head and cried.

"Dad, the child also thought that he would never see your old man again in this life, but I didn't expect us to finally meet again. Huang Fan said.

"Son, get up quickly, let Daddy take a good look at you. Huang Xun helped his son up. Huang Fan slowly got up with great difficulty, and finally barely straightened up.

"Fan'er. What's the matter with you?" asked Huang Xun.

At this time, You Ming came over and said, "Huang Yuetian has put cartilage powder in the meal for a long time, so that Huang Senior's bones become soft, and he can't use martial arts, and he can't stand or kneel for a long time. ”

"How can this be justified, this brute torments my mortal child so much. See if I don't break him into pieces. Huang Xun said angrily.

At this time, Zuo Xuantian escorted Huang Yuetian over and knocked him to his knees in front of Huang Xun with one kick.

"You, you are so vicious, treat your own brother like this. I regret giving birth to you in the first place. Huang Xun accused.

"How to deal with it, please also ask Uncle Huang to speak. Yi Dan said.

At this time, the villagers on the side shouted one after another: "Throw him into eight pieces", "Throw him into the lake to feed the locusts", "Divide his five horses into corpses".

Zuo Xuantian said to Huang Yuetian: "Do you want to dismantle eight pieces or divide the corpses of five horses?" ”

Huang Yuetian begged for mercy again and again: "Heroes, spare me." I'm also a ghost, so I did these ridiculous things, please spare my life, I won't dare to do it again. ”

Aguchi said: "You've done all the bad things, and it's too late to beg for mercy now?"

At this time, Li Bo also escorted dozens of women from the drinking paradise over: "Quick, kneel down for me." ”

These women were all beautiful, brushed in a row, and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Li Bodao: "Heroes, these women are the playthings of Huang Yuetian and those Dharma protectors, they are bullying others, and they are fake tigers. How to deal with it, please tell the heroes. ”

Huang Xun asked, "Are they all bewitched?"

"No, they didn't fall into the Gu, they were caught up the mountain. But they serve Huang Yuetian and a few Dharma protectors wholeheartedly, they are not ashamed, but proud, and often oppress the weak, dogs and people, how to deal with it, please let a few heroes fall. Li Bo said.

At this time, Yi Dan opened his mouth and said: "I see that these women are also taken by Huang Yuetian's obscenity, and they don't dare to resist, so they make such a helpless choice." We still have to be merciful and forgiving, let them go. Give them a chance to mend their ways, don't you think?"

Aguqi said: "Hey, forget it, in the end, they are all victims of the Great Virtue Sect, so let's give them a way to live." ”

Lin Xiao, who was on crutches on the side, said: "Yes, although I chose a different path from them, I understand their situation at that time. Please heroes, villagers, open the net and bypass these poor women, right?"

Li Bo's father said: "These women can be released, but Huang Yuetian's bastard must be broken into thousands of pieces in order to dispel the pain that the Great Virtue Sect has inflicted on our hearts over the years." ”

"That's right, you must break Huang Yuetian's corpse into ten thousand pieces. The crowd agreed.

Zuo Xuantian said: "Okay, then Zuo will do the right thing for Tianxing today and slaughter this bastard." Zuo Dian picked up the Qinglong Broadsword, wanting to slash at Huang Yuetian's head.

Huang Yuetian knew that he was in a catastrophe, but he wanted to do his best to save his life, so he knelt at Huang Xun's feet, hugged Huang Xun's legs tightly and cried: "Dad, Dad, save me, I don't want to die." Daddy, I'm also your son, you save me... I won't dare to do anything wrong in the future, please save me. ”

Huang Xun said angrily: "You didn't know that you were wrong until you died? Look at the things in this lake, these are all sins you have created, how can you be worthy of this land that gave birth to you? How can you be worthy of the fathers and villagers who provided you with support in this Taibai Mountain? Your crime is 1,000 years and 10,000 years." I can't redeem it. ”

Huang Yuetian cried and begged: "Dad, the child knows that he is wrong, I will never dare to do it in the future, please beg Dad not to kill me, I will correct it, I will correct it in the future, Dad?"

Huang Xun said: "If you can really repent, tell them how to destroy all the things in this lake." ”

"Min Zhu Mushroom, with the Min Zhu Mushroom on the shore of Meituo Lake, you can completely destroy these Gu worms. Huang Yuetian said.

At this time, Huang Fan on the side said: "It turns out that you have long known that the Min Zhu Mushroom can kill these Gu worms. Then when I was on the shore of Meituo Lake, why couldn't I find the Minzhu mushroom? Did you secretly do it?"

Huang Yuetian said: "Yes, I knew that you went to the shore of Meituo Lake to find Namin Zhu Mushroom to deal with the Gu worm I just cultivated. So I secretly sent someone to destroy all those mushrooms. ”

"No wonder I searched for two months, but I couldn't find any trace of the mushroom, it turned out that it was really you who made trouble. Huang Fan said.

"I'm sorry brother, I knew that Na Min Zhu Mushroom was the nemesis of the black evil locust, so I sent people to patrol the shores of Meituo Lake day and night. Don't let him grow out. Huang Yuetian said.

"I really didn't expect such a careful thought. My eldest brother would be such a person. Then you landed on this step of the field today, did you ever think of it?" asked Huang Fan.

"I thought maybe one day. But..."Huang Yuetian wanted to speak and stopped.

"But why do you insist on going your own way and keep making mistakes?" asked Huang Fan.

Huang Yuetian also said frankly: "Because the temptation of power is too great. You don't know that the feeling of that response is so fascinating to me. I already have blood on my hands. I knew there was no turning back, so I had to make a desperate bet and keep making mistakes. But I'm wrong now, I really know it's wrong, so please give me a chance. Huang Yuetian said.

"You also really assisted Bohai in fighting the Khitan. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this. Blame the beast of power, no one has the ability to put it in a cage, blame only human nature for its evil, and human nature is vulnerable in the face of desire. Huang Xun said.

"Yes, Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please spare the child's life. Huang Yuetian hugged Huang Xun's calf and begged.

At this time, Uncle Li said: "No, we must not let go of this demon, how many innocent lives he has killed, if we don't break his body into thousands of pieces, we will be sorry for those innocent and tragic undead." ”

Huang Yuetian begged: "Dad, dad and the child know that they are wrong, you can help me and beg them to spare my life, I am willing to repay everyone by being a cow and a horse." ”

Huang Xun listened to Huang Yuetian's words, and asked softly, "Are you really willing to repent?"

"Truly willing to repent and never lie to you. Huang Yuetian said.

"Okay then, I'll trust you again, who made me your own father. If the son does not teach the father, let me bear all the guilt. Huang Xun said.

Huang Yuetian: "Thank you dad for your success, thank you dad for sparing his life." ”

Huang Xun turned his head and said loudly to the crowd: "Fellow villagers, all heroes, the old man knows that my son Huang Ping is guilty of a lot of sins, and it is difficult to write, but please read that I am old and work hard to save everyone, and also read that my son Huang Ping has already known that he is wrong, so let him live, and in the future, I will atone for your fathers and fellow villagers as cattle and horses, I don't know if you are willing?"

Uncle Li said: "No, this demon has ruined our family, separated our wife, and has been trembling for decades to live under his obscenity, and the pain that has brought us to the people of Taibai Mountain over the years can never be resolved in a few words." ”

Another villager also chimed in: "That's right, Uncle Huang, you can't favor him just because he is your son." This Huang Yuetian's heart is like a snake and scorpion, and he kills like hemp, it is impossible to have any intention of repenting at all, if he is kept, wouldn't he raise a tiger to bring about his own destruction?"

The villagers shouted in unison: "That's right, kill him, kill him..."

Seeing that the people hated Huang Yuetian to the core, Huang Xun said helplessly: "Hey, you have done too much evil, and I can't save you, you should apologize for your sins and bow down to the law, I hope you can be a good person in the next life." ”

Who is Huang Yuetian? Where is he willing to die like this? He suddenly snatched the shovel from the hand of a disciple next to him. On Huang Xun's neck. Everyone was stunned by this move.

"If you don't let me go, I'll kill him and you, and you'll all perish together. Huang Yuetian roared angrily.

"You brute, he's your own father, he was still helping you intercede just now, and you're going to take revenge in the blink of an eye?" Yi Dan scolded loudly.

"What about my father. He can't save me, so he might as well borrow his life to help me get out of here. If you know each other, let me go quickly, or I'll be welcome. Huang Yuetian said.

Huang Fan yelled: "You brute, are you crazy? I'm going to fight with you today." After that, Huang Fan wanted to rush straight over, but was pulled by Aguqi on the side and said: "Brother Huang Fan, don't be impulsive, now your father is in his hands." This man has long been a demon, he is no longer your big brother, he can do anything now. ”

"Then what should my father do?" Huang Fan asked anxiously.

"You calm down first, let's think about it. Aguchiyu said.

At this time, Huang Yuetian held this Huang Xun hostage and slowly retreated in the direction of the cave. ”

Huang Xun cursed loudly: "You brute, don't you have a little bit of humanity?"

Huang Yuetian said proudly: "I did have a little remorse just now, but you also saw it, no matter what I said. Nothing to do, they will not believe. They won't let me go at all. Instead of putting down the butcher's knife and letting others slaughter it, it is better to fight to the death, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Huang Xun said: "It's time to come, you still haven't repented, and you're still playing tricks and scheming." How easy it is for you to want me to die, I only hate that I gave birth to you in this life but did not teach you well. It brought you to the point where you will never recover. ”

After that, Huang Xun looked up to the sky again and shouted sadly: "Heavens... It's my adopted son Huang Xun who doesn't teach, ashamed of his father and the people, ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, if you want to blame. Let me bear all the blame alone. With that, Huang Xun grabbed the shovel around his neck with both hands, pressed his throat against the sharp shovel, cut his throat with all his might, and fell in a pool of blood.

"Daddy..."

"Uncle Huang..."

Everyone was shocked, but Huang Xun's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't hear anymore, and he didn't blink an eye when he died. He firmly believed that it was his own mistakes that made Huang Yuetian embark on the wrong path, so he used this method of self-suicide to atone for Huang Yuetian's sins, and also hoped that his death would awaken Huang Ping's conscience and make him change his ways.

But how could a person like Huang Yuetian suddenly repent? When he saw that his father was dead, he didn't have any hostages he was hostage, and he immediately wanted to run away.

At this time, Lin Xiao rushed up, picked up the iron birch staff in his hand, and hit Huang Yuetian's legs fiercely, Huang Yuetian's legs broke into two and collapsed to the ground.

"Hmph, this is what you owe me, and I want you to pay it back twice. Lin Xiao shouted loudly.

Yi Dan was furious, she used her strength to lift her spirit, used her blade palm, and slashed it with a fierce palm, cutting off Huang Yuetian's two legs, and Huang Yuetian fell to the ground with half of his body. Aguqi rushed up and hit Huang Yuetian's heart all the time, knocking him to the rocks by the lake and lying on his stomach, dragging blood all over the ground.

At this time, all the people picked up hoes, shovels, and hammers, and rushed up one after another, wanting to chop Huang Yuetian into meat sauce.

Although Huang Yuetian lost his legs, he still didn't want to die like this, so he crawled to the lake with the strength of his hands in a hurry.

Everyone didn't know what Huang Yuetian wanted to do, and at this time, he was cornered, looking ahead in despair. Suddenly, I saw a man in black standing on the hill in front of me. The man in black stared at Huang Yuetian's eyes and nodded lightly at him.

Huang Yuetian understood the meaning of the man in black, so his mouth was full of blood, and he said: "I didn't expect that I, Huang Yuetian, would die in the hands of you pariahs. Hmph, I'm not going to let you get away with it. With that, he jumped into the bright red Gu Lake.

After a while, a white skeleton mixed with blood floated up.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. The people cheered, and Uncle Li said happily: "Great, we have finally got rid of this demon." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Huang Yuetian to harm others and end up harming himself, and finally died in his own Gu Lake. Hmph, this is called evil retribution, brewing bitter fruit by oneself and tasting it yourself. Uncle Liu also said happily.

Zuo Daotian said: "It's a pity that before he died, he didn't realize his mistake." How can he be forgiven for his sins?"

Sheng Luniu also echoed: "That's right, when he was indiscriminately killing innocents, did he ever think that there would be today?"

Aguchidron heard this. After thinking about it, he said: "In my opinion, the reason why Huang Yuetian is so evil may be forced by himself and the people around him. ”

Yi Dan asked, "Brother Agu, how do you say this?"

Aguqi said: "Think about it, Huang Yuetian is just a cult leader in the rivers and lakes after all. At the beginning, he was also dedicated to the Bohai Sea and was loyal to the country. It's just that the temptation of power is too great. Step by step, he lost himself. In addition, to maintain and stabilize power, it is necessary to have effective assistants and minions. He is desperately trying to curry favor with his assistants and let them maintain a deformed network of power for him, and he himself is in the middle of the net, and he trembles in the face of the threat of all forces in the rivers and lakes and in the sect, so he must use more vicious tricks to maintain the tyrannical rule that he knows cannot last long. This is the vicious circle. It is also a difficult choice for Huang Yuetian to ride a tiger. ”

Yi Dan listened to Agu's analysis and felt that it was very reasonable, but after thinking about it, he asked rhetorically: "Then according to Brother Agu, all the bad people in the world have their last resort?

Aguqi said: "Actually, many things in the world are paradoxes, didn't Huang Yuetian also say it just now? He wanted to change his ways, but no one would forgive him. Imagine an executioner putting down a butcher's knife. Hundreds of people will eat him alive, and he will always hold the butcher's knife in his hand. Because that's the only thing that can bring him safety. ”

Yi Dan said: "It's a pity that if he holds a butcher's knife, others won't be able to live." ”

It is precisely because of this that we should give those who have made mistakes more opportunities to mend their ways, to be more tolerant, and perhaps the world will not be reduced to the killing of violence against violence. Aguchiyu said.

"You're saying we're not tolerant enough?" Yi Dan asked.

"All these years. I have also traveled to many places, hoping to ask the Buddha to ask questions to solve the doubts in my heart. Aguchiyu said.

"Brother Agu, dare to ask what doubts you have in your heart?" Yi Dan asked.

"I wonder if human nature is inherently good or evil? And also. There are so many people in the world who want to change the world and make the world run according to their own ideas. But has the world ever changed because of whom? This question has always haunted me, and it has become a difficult question that will never be solved. Aguchiyu said.

Yi Dan listened to Aguqi's profound words, took his words and said: "Brother Agu, I used to believe what Master Confucius said, human nature is inherently good. But after going through all kinds of things, I realized that human nature is actually evil. Even Uncle Huang just now thinks so, I think maybe human nature is really evil. ”

"Maybe you're right, human nature is evil. And most of us spend our lives fighting evil with evil. Aguchiyu said.

"Brother Agu, I didn't expect you to have such a deep and broad opinion on this issue, I really didn't expect it. Yi Dan said.

"It's been awarded, it's just that the things I've experienced over the years have made me feel something, and I can't talk about how deep and broad it is. Aguchiyu said.

"Listening to your words, I have benefited a lot. Yi Dan said.

"Sister, you are knowledgeable and well-informed. At a young age, I traveled the rivers and lakes to meet the heroes of the world, and I have my own unique opinions on everything, no one is the same, and this alone has already lost a big cut of you. Aguchiyu praised.

"Brother Agu has won the award, let's discuss how to deal with the next things, right?"

"Well, let's dismiss everyone first, and then let's bury them. Aguchiyu said.

"Okay, I'll ask you again if I have time another day. After that, he turned his head and said to the people: "Folks, this time to get rid of Huang Yuetian, it all depends on the concerted efforts of everyone, not afraid of tyranny, all the folks and elders have worked hard." Now that the big thing has been decided, Huang Yuetian is also in the law, please go down the mountain first, we still have things to deal with, and I won't accompany you next. ”

After a while, after all the people rushed to thank Yi Dan, they took their family members who had lifted the Gu poison and left one after another. (To be continued.) )
