Chapter 699: Cannibals are monsters and should be punished
…
After leaving Yuejia Town, Yue Xiang, who was a little sad before, instantly turned into a bird escaping from his cage and became excited.
"Grandmaster, where should we go next?"
"Disciples have always heard that Kaifeng, the capital of the Song Dynasty, is a prosperous and prosperous place with a wealth of natural treasures. It has a population of tens of millions. Why don't we go there?"
Xu Junming nodded slightly.
The place he wanted to go to was also Kaifeng Mansion.
"Let's go, this place is still thousands of miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, and we can just experience the scenery of the Song Dynasty along the way."
Yue Xiang couldn't help but show a look of anticipation on his face.
The grandfather and grandson took steps forward, one hundred meters at a time, getting further and further away from Yuejia Town.
…
He looked at the city in front of him that covered an area of nearly a hundred miles and was built entirely with blue boulders. The city walls were thick and ten feet high, and were equipped with formations.
"Master, is this Dongchuan Fucheng?"
Xu Junming looked at it for a moment and nodded slightly.
"The largest city within a thousand miles is right here. It should be right. Besides, don't you see it written there?"
Yue Xiang didn't pay attention at first, because the dozen or so heads hanging there were really an eyesore.
Xu Junming has experienced four worlds and is used to seeing life and death, so he no longer cares about it.
"Let's go and take a look inside. If there are any demons, kill them. If there are no demons, just stay for a day and then leave."
"Master, don't you go to Uncle Han's house of Golden Tiger Escort Agency?"
"Did I forget about Han Bacheng? That's fine. Now that we're here, let's go take a look."
After the two entered the door, they made some inquiries and soon found the location of the Golden Tiger Escort Agency.
Although the Golden Tiger Escort Agency is not considered a big force in Dongchuan City, it is still considered a powerful and wealthy class.
The Escort Bureau is located in a mansion with a green tile roof, black pillars as beams, stone lions guarding both sides, and a red door with golden nails.
I briefly took a look at the four-character gold book "Golden Tiger Escort Agency" hanging above the courtyard door with yellow edges and green background.
"Master, I'm going to call the door."
Yue Xiang volunteered and ran to the front.
Two guards guarding the gate quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"stop."
"Two eldest brothers, I am the son of Yue He, Yuejia Town, Landing County, four hundred miles away. My father is an old friend of your General Bodyguard Han. My ancestor, Taoist Master Chongshan, is also related to your General Bodyguard.
A life-saving grace.”
"I passed by Dongchuan today and came here to pay my respects. I would like to ask the two eldest brothers to send a message."
The tall escort looked him up and down.
"Are you really the son of a member of the Yue Family Town?"
"I am Yue Xiang, my father's eldest son."
Apparently the escort also went to Yuejia Town with Han Bacheng.
"Sure enough, he is somewhat similar to Yue Yuanwai. Just wait a moment, I will go and inform you right away."
"Good work."
It didn't take long, and the rapid footsteps inside got closer and closer.
"Where is my nephew-in-law?"
As he spoke, Han Bacheng, who was wearing a purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown, walked out in a hurry.
At a glance, he saw a young man standing on the steps in front of the door, wearing a green Taoist robe, with arms and waist, holding a bamboo stick, and a yellow gourd hanging from his waist.
"Oh my dear nephew, it is indeed you."
After Yue Xiang was born, Han Bacheng passed by as his escort and met him several times.
Although the two have not seen each other for two years, their general appearance is unmistakable.
In particular, Yue Xiang and Yue He were 70% to 80% similar, so Han Bacheng recognized them at a glance.
"My nephew meets Uncle Han."
"Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite. Your father and I are close friends of life and death. When you come to my place, you are at home."
"Thank you Uncle Han for your kindness."
"You child, you have become more restrained as you grow older. By the way, your father came with you? Where is he? Take me to see him quickly."
"My father is not here. I traveled here with my master and came here to pay a visit to Uncle Han."
Han Bacheng looked overjoyed.
"You mean Taoist Master Chongshan is here?"
Yue Xiang nodded.
"Where are you? Take me to see you quickly." Han Bacheng said impatiently.
Before Yue Xiang could speak, Xu Junming's figure had already arrived beside the two of them as the light flickered.
"Jushi Han, you are well!"
Han Bacheng quickly bowed and saluted.
"Taoist Master, twelve years have passed, and Han Bacheng has never been able to thank Taoist Master for his life-saving grace. Today, Jade Toe is coming, so I must stay a few more days to fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Although he later received a letter from Yue He and learned that Xu Junming was still alive, he dared to go to Yuejia Town to see him. However, Xu Junming was left in seclusion to refine the demonic energy of the Golden-winged Dapeng's corpse and could not see him in person.
I passed by several times later and it was the same.
Therefore, strictly speaking, this is the first time the two have met since they separated at Yue's family fifteen years ago.
"You are so polite, Master Han. I am a Taoist who knows how to appreciate people and never asks for anything in return. Xiang'er and I traveled here today and will stay with you for a day or two before we continue our journey."
"Taoist priest, my dear nephew, let's not talk about this for now. Please come in quickly, and we will talk after we get in."
Han Bacheng warmly welcomed the two of them to the living room in the front yard. The servants served them tea, and before the three of them could chat for a while.
The roar of the salute came from afar.
Along with the wind comes the festive sound of playing, playing and singing.
"Uncle Han, whose family is getting married here? It's such a big fanfare." Yue Xiang asked curiously.
Han Bacheng sighed.
"This is the wedding of the local city god."
"City God. City God?"
Yue Xiang understood instantly and frowned.
"Uncle Han, the City God is the god of the underworld, why would the marriage take place in this world?"
"Speaking of it, it is also a local custom. Every year on the third day of April, the city gods of Dongchuan Prefecture will get married, and they will take seven days to get married. Today is the seventh day."
"From Uncle Han's tone, the woman chosen by the City God is from the Yang Dynasty?"
"Exactly."
"Damn it! There is such an evil god in the world who cares so little about human life."
Yue Xiang's sword eyebrows stood up, his face full of anger.
He stood up with a 'shua' and said, "Master, let me kill that evil god and eliminate a great harm to the world."
Han Bacheng was startled and quickly stood up to stop him.
"A good nephew, don't make mistakes. That City God is a righteous god who possesses the power of the Yuan Shen and has been officially consecrated by the Immortal Court. If you offend him, you will be killed."
He looked at Yue Xiang with a tense face, saying nothing, quietly waiting for Xu Junming's order.
Han Bacheng turned around quickly.
"Taoist Master, you must advise Xiang'er that there are some things that are beyond our control and some people that we cannot provoke."
Xu Junming smiled and nodded to him, waving his hand to signal him to be calm.
Turn your head.
He looked at Yue Xiang calmly.
"Xiang'er, although this Dongchuan Prefecture City God takes a living person as his wife, he provides generous financial resources to his father-in-law's family, only if the other party is satisfied. He never robbed, let alone bullied others. In fact, countless poor families would not like it.
Get married to him and you can become rich overnight and get rid of poverty."
"Moreover, in order to achieve the improvement of wealth and status, countless poor people left behind baby girls who should have drowned. Therefore, by marrying the city god, it can be considered that there are countless living people and a lot of merit."
"Overall, his merits outweigh his faults."
"If you kill it, of course no more girls will be killed; but there will be too many babies drowned by poor families who cannot feed them or are unwilling to raise their baby girls."
"Save one person and sacrifice thousands."
"Now, are you still willing to kill the City God?"
"I?"
Yue Xiang looked struggling.
The murderous intent on his face turned into hesitation.
He is just a fledgling, although he has great talent and good cultivation.
But I have never experienced the cunning of the human heart, the helplessness of worldly affairs, and when encountering difficult things, I don’t know how to deal with them for a while.
Xu Junming turned around.
"Jushi Han, can you prepare a room for us?"
"Of course."
Han Bacheng hoped that Yue Xiang could calm down and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, he would have no shame in seeing his sworn brother.
"Taoist Master, please come with me."
He personally led the way and took the two of them to the left courtyard of Jinhu Escort Agency.
This was originally a place to receive distinguished guests, so it seemed very quiet.
Take the two of them to the best yard.
"Taoist Master, how is it here?"
I looked around.
"This is it."
"As long as Taoist Master is satisfied, I will ask my servant to bring the bedding later."
"Thank you, layman."
"Taoist Master, you are polite. This is what you should do." He took a step forward and lowered his voice, "I hope Taoist Master will definitely dissuade Xiang'er from interfering with the City God's marriage, otherwise, if something goes wrong,
How can I explain to Kunzhu in the future?"
Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, layman, he won't do anything random."
"That's good, that's good... The Taoist priest has come all the way and must have worked hard. Let's rest here first. Food and bedding will be delivered soon."
"Good work."
After nodding with a smile, he glanced at Yue Xiang worriedly, and then went out with a heavy heart.
After he left, Xu Junming looked at Yue Xiang whose expression changed, sometimes full of murderous look, sometimes full of contradictions.
I know that at this moment, he is thinking fiercely about countermeasures.
Xu Junming smiled lightly and did not bother.
This is something that every fledgling monk will experience.
It is also a necessary process for the growth of mind.
Time passed little by little, and perhaps out of worry, Han Bacheng came over every half an hour. After seeing that Yue Xiang was still here, he said a few words to Xu Junming, and then stood up to leave.
Night gradually enveloped the room, and the dim candlelight dispelled the darkness in the room.
"Bang, bang!"
The table and chairs were overturned, and the already cold dinner was spilled all over the floor.
Yue Xiang stood up suddenly and rushed to Xu Junming with a determined expression.
"Master, I thought of it."
Xu Junming, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, had already opened his eyes at this moment.
"Tell me."
"Then Dongchuan City God should be killed!"
"Why should we kill!"
"Master often said: Cannibals are monsters and should be punished! In the past, my disciples were stupid and only understood the meaning of the words. But today, when they met the Dongchuan City God, they lost their sense of proportion, hesitated, and had nothing to do. It was really unfair.
Should."
"After thinking hard all afternoon, I finally understood the meaning of Master's past teachings."
"A man-eater is a demon."
"Although the Dongchuan City God gave back a lot of money to his father-in-law's family, which seemed fair, it was actually a helpless act. If it weren't for the fact that the Song Dynasty was ruling the world and the law was strict and could not let him act according to his nature, I'm afraid he would have let go
, eat up all the common people in this city."
"As for keeping thousands of baby girls alive, it was not his original intention. How can this merit be attributed to him?!"
"Therefore, cannibals are demons."
"Behead!"
In an instant, Yue Xiang's body was filled with evil energy, and his energy and blood were soaring to the sky.
Xu Junming nodded with satisfaction.
"Since you have thought clearly and the information is clear, then go ahead."
"Disciple, go now."
Yue Xiang's expression was shocked, and he turned into a stream of light and disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the black night sky.
Looking at his leaving figure, Xu Junming smiled and nodded.
