Mrs. Yin responded with a smile: "There are no monsters. Those ignorant and numb people will demonize existences that they cannot understand. My son does not need to care."
"Madam, kid, let's go back." Looking at the empty street, Li Jing said quickly before Nezha could ask further questions.
"I haven't had enough fun yet." Nezha said reluctantly.
Li Jing touched his head: "Look, it's empty here. There's not even anyone else there. What else is there to do? Go back. Your mother and I will play with you when we go back."
Shao Qing, carrying Nezha on his neck, stepped into the mansion with Mrs. Yin. The sky dimmed and the bright moon illuminated the world...
Early next morning.
The housekeeper of the Li family stood outside the mansion with a follower, looking towards the long street. After waiting for a full cup of tea, the music group that had been scheduled was nowhere to be seen. He had promised to come to celebrate the centenary of the third young master.
Tian's folks were also missing, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness began to grow wildly in the housekeeper's heart.
"Gou Sheng, go check and find out what's going on." After waiting for a long time, the housekeeper finally lost his temper and turned around and said.
"Uncle Geng, here we come, people are here."
Gou Sheng was about to respond when he saw a large group of people almost occupying the street and quickly heading towards the mansion.
"No, it doesn't feel right." Looking at the people who were carrying farm tools instead of gifts, the housekeeper's expression changed, and he immediately said: "Gou Sheng, go and invite the master over."
Gou Sheng nodded and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he came from the gate to the front of the main hall and shouted: "Master, something bad has happened. The common people are coming with their farm tools."
"What does carrying farm tools mean?" Nezha, who was wearing new clothes, asked in the main hall.
Li Jing's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "I'll go take a look."
"I'll go too, Nezha. You and Mrs. Yin will wait here." Qin Yao stood up from the guest seat and said in a deep voice.
Nezha blinked and looked at his father and master leaving with a confused look on his face. He turned around and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
Mrs. Yin smiled reluctantly and said softly: "Maybe the people encountered some trouble in the fields and came to your father for help..."
Not long after, Li Jing stepped out of the door, looked at the people who were surrounding his mansion in a semicircle, and said with cupped hands: "Are you fellow villagers here to attend my son's Hundred Days Banquet?"
"Yes and no."
At the front of the crowd, an old man with white beard and hair, full of old age, stooped body, and holding a mahogany stick in his right hand responded.
"How do you say this?" Li Jing asked.
The old man raised his eyes to look at the other party and said: "General Li, may I ask who the child who stayed with you and your wife yesterday... is?"
Li Jing said with a smile: "That child is my third son, Nezha."
"Isn't Nezha only a hundred days old? According to common sense, he should still be a baby in swaddling clothes. Why does he look like he is three or four years old?" the old man asked.
Li Jing explained: "My son is extremely talented."
The old man said quietly: "Is it because he is gifted, or is there something else going on?"
"Old man, stop beating around the bush, what do you mean?" Qin Yao came to Li Jing's side and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Who are you?" the old man asked.
Qin Yao sneered: "I am Nezha's master, and I am qualified to ask."
The old man said: "In other words, you taught Nezha martial arts?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Yao said.
The old man suddenly paused his mahogany staff and shouted: "How can you teach your disciples only martial arts and not virtue? Do you know that Nezha relied on force to show off his cruelty yesterday and almost beat six children to death in the street? He was so fierce and powerful.
Did you teach this all?"
Qin Yao's face was full of surprise, and he turned to look at Li Jing: "Is there such a thing?"
Li Jing smiled bitterly: "It was those six children who were bullying an old man. Nezha couldn't stand it, so he beat them."
"Bullying?" The old man shook his head and said, "Bring that old gentleman here!"
The crowd immediately moved out of the way, and a tall and thick-set man walked over, supporting an old man, and appeared in front of the crowd.
"Liu Yong, did a group of children bully you yesterday?" the old man asked.
Mr. Liu lowered his head and his voice trembled: "No...no..."
Li Jing frowned and asked, "Old sir, did someone force you to say that?"
Mr. Liu didn't even raise his head, and said repeatedly: "No, no."
The old man asked: "What does Mr. Li mean? Do you think it is us who are forcing Liu Yong to lie?"
Li Jing felt deeply powerless and said: "I saw with my own eyes yesterday that the six children were bullying this old man."
"Is there any other witness?" the old man asked.
Li Jing was speechless.
Even if he summons his wife and children, how can his wife and children become witnesses?
"Okay, okay, are you playing like this?" Qin Yao asked with a smile.
"Who gave you a chance to play?" the old man said, "We came to Mr. Li very seriously to ask for an explanation."
"Langui, get on Liu Yong's body." Qin Yao's soul held the bracelet and said through the voice.
A red light that was imperceptible to the naked eye suddenly crossed the void and possessed Mr. Liu.
"Don't you all believe me?" At this time, Li Jing asked loudly.
The crowd was silent, and invisible pressure suddenly hit their faces.
Originally, in their minds, Mr. Li was a good official who loved his people as his own son. But after hearing that he had a little monster in his home, their impression changed drastically.
"It's useless." Qin Yao said to Li Jing: "In your position, if you love the people like a son, they will be grateful to you, but they will also think that this is what you should do. Even if you have done a hundred good things
, as long as you do one wrong thing and it doesn’t harm their interests, it’s fine. Once you harm their interests, then you will be enemies to life and death.”
Li Jing: "..."
"Old man, what's your surname?" Qin Yao suddenly turned to look at the old man and asked in a solemn voice.
"Why are you always talking about this? There is no point in delaying time." The old man said.
"You said I was stalling for time?" Qin Yao laughed angrily and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go straight to the topic according to your ideas."
As he said that, he turned to look in the direction of Liu Yong and asked, "Mr. Liu, let me ask you one last time, have you ever been coerced?"
Liu Yong was silent. After a long time, he suddenly reached out and pointed to the old man who was taking the lead: "Yes, he is the one who coerced me."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
"You fart." The old man was very angry and scolded: "When did I threaten you?"
"Are you in a hurry?"
Qin Yao said with a smile but not a smile: "Don't worry, listen to me first. Old man, Liu Yong said that the group of children did not bully him because he was old and weak, so you summoned this large group of people to cause trouble. Now Liu Yong has retracted his confession, and you have
Say he farts. Why, can this become a fact only if you follow your thoughts?"
The old man pointed his crutch at Qin Yao: "You are so messy."
Qin Yao's face turned cold: "Are I messing around or are you messing around? Tell me, why are you targeting Mr. Li, and what is your purpose?"
The old man took a deep look at Liu Yong and then said: "No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Nezha grew to three or four years old in a hundred days, right? As far as I know, only monsters can do this
growth rate."
"You know shit."
Qin Yao scolded: "Have you ever seen a monster? Do you know the growth cycle of a monster? Do you understand the life wheel of a monster? You haven't seen it, you don't know, you don't understand, you are just talking nonsense based on your own assumptions.
.
Let me tell you, if Nezha is a monster, then he will never grow so fast, but will grow very slowly, because the life span of monsters is different from that of humans.
Monsters that are dozens of years old may just be babies, and monsters that are hundreds of years old are just adults, understand, you idiot."
Li Jing: "..."
Old man: "..."
The people who followed the old man looked at each other in shock.
"You, you, you..." The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over and was out of breath.
"You, you, you don't understand anything, you are nothing, why are you trying to show off? You are so old that you don't want to live your old life at home, so you run out and embarrass yourself. If you are not ashamed, I will blush for you."
Qin Yao said.
The old man's face turned red when he scolded him, and he fainted without even taking a breath.
"Trash." Qin Yao spat lightly and said to a man next to the old man: "Who is he and what is his family background?"
"His name is Chen Wei, and he is the elder of the Chen family in Chentangguan." the man responded.
"You don't want to deal with the Chen family?" Qin Yao turned to look at Li Jing.
Li Jing shook his head: "No, there has never been any conflict before..."
Qin Yao made a quick decision: "Let's go to the Chen family."
"Are the two of us going?" Li Jing asked.
Qin Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at the people gathered around him: "Follow me. Don't think about spreading the news. I can see every one of you."
Half an hour later.
Qin Yao forcibly brought the group of people to the Chen family's mansion, and the guards guarding the gate quickly stopped them.
"Ding, Ding, Ding..." Qin Yao cast spells repeatedly to immobilize all these people, and immediately led the people who were eating melons filed in and entered the manor.
"Who are you?" A lady wearing silk satin was frightened when she suddenly saw so many people.
Qin Yao opened his Dharma eyes, looked at the entire mansion, and then said to the people behind him: "Follow me."
The lady stayed where she was, staring blankly at them as they walked through the front yard and entered the back house, feeling at a loss what to do.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yao led the crowd to a room. With his discerning eyes like a torch, he stared at the human-skin centipede in the bedroom and said: "Beasts, get out!"
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walked out of the room and asked in a solemn voice.
Qin Yao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He clasped his hands together and the Buddha's light shone, covering the entire backyard.
"ah!!!"
Stimulated by the Buddha's light, the middle-aged man suddenly screamed, and then his flesh cracked, and a dark brown centipede crawled out of his body.
"Monster!" The people who saw this scene panicked and rushed to the gate.
"Certainly."
Qin Yao used his method to restrain their bodies, and then summoned the magic sword, splitting the centipede that was trying to escape into two pieces with one strike.
The two bodies twitched and crawled on the ground, still trying to escape, until a stream of magic fire burst out from the magic sword and burned through the centipede's body.
"Don't you want to see monsters? Do you see them? This is a monster." Qin Yao lifted the restraint on these people and said coldly.
"Meet the Immortal." One person suddenly fell to his knees and shouted loudly.
"Meet the Immortal."
This sound instantly woke up the others. Except for Li Jing, everyone present shouted and knelt down to worship.
"Get up."
Qin Yao said angrily: "Li Jing and his wife have killed countless demons over the years to guard Chentangguan. Humans have relatives and friends, but demons don't? Humans know revenge, and demons naturally know it too."
This incident is a typical example. The demon is trying to use you to force Li Jing to leave. Once Li Jing leaves, you will only become the demon's food without your guardian angel. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded, looking at the burning centipede body with fear.
Qin Yao breathed out softly and said: "As for why Nezha grows up so fast, I can tell you clearly that he is the reincarnation of Shenwan and came to the human world to practice. It is for this reason that Pindao taught him
After a hundred days, he will be able to fly in the air."
"Wow..." Everyone exclaimed at this.
Qin Yao was very satisfied with their performance and pointed out the way: "Now, I will give you half a quarter of an hour to go back and prepare gifts, and then go to Li Mansion to attend Nezha's 100-day banquet."
Hearing this, the crowd immediately ran away and disappeared in an instant.
Li Fuzhong.
Mrs. Yin waited impatiently. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, but she couldn't help but think about it.
When she thought about it, the worst outcome would be for her husband to be accused by thousands of people. The couple took Nezha and left Chentangguan to avoid all storms.
This result seemed good, but the struggle she and her husband had spent over the years had been in vain, and in the end, she became a wanderer.
From being a general soldier to being a homeless person, I don't know if Tao Dao can bear this huge gap.
"Madam, Nezha." Just as her mind was gradually filled with messy thoughts, Li Jing strode into the central hall and greeted with a smile.
"Solved?" Looking at the smile on his face, Mrs. Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Jing saluted Qin Yao, who followed him through the door, cupping his fists and saying, "It all depends on Daoist Master Shen's help. Otherwise, I may not be able to keep my position as chief soldier."
Mrs. Yin stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Taoist Master."
Qin Yao waved his hand: "Let's add some tables in the courtyard. Many people may come later..."
A quarter of an hour later.
People flocked in and filled the entire Li Mansion, but this time no one came with farm tools or weapons. Some were carrying gift boxes, while others were carrying chickens, ducks, and even some eggs. In short, no one came empty-handed.
The musicians also arrived, playing and playing under the big locust tree in the yard to liven up the atmosphere.
Nezha loves the excitement the most, running between countless desks and desks with a smile on his face.
Whenever he ran to a place, the people there would reach out frantically and touch his head and face, as if they wanted to soak up the immortal energy.
Now that the news that Nezha is the reincarnation of Shenwan has spread, it is difficult for other people to say, but the people present almost firmly believe it.
“It smells so good and so lively!”
While the banquet was in progress, a fat immortal in a blue robe came to the door of Li's Mansion with a little doll carved in pink and jade. Looking at the flowing mat inside, he couldn't help but feel a glint of light at the corner of his mouth.
