Villager of Destiny

Chapter 102 You Should Kill, You Should Save
The moment I saw her appearance clearly, I took a step back subconsciously.

It wasn't until she walked in front of me slowly and looked up at me that the tension in my heart slowly subsided.

"Big brother."

"Can you take me home?"

I was silent for a while before nodding my head erratically.

"it is good."

She reached out and took my hand, I didn't feel any touch, only a trace of coldness.

She was none other than Xu Er's daughter, the child who was still restless after death.

I 'held' her hand, and went back to the house that was still burning with raging fire. She looked at the house, but she didn't have any big emotional fluctuations, she just looked up at me.

"Big brother."

"I am home."

"I want to go to my parents."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards the fire before I could react.

She is just a soul, but when she stepped into the fire, her body also began to become illusory, and disappeared from my sight in just a moment, as if she had never appeared before.

And the fire is still burning.

Looking at this scene, I was completely stunned. It took me a while to feel some soreness in the corners of my eyes. I admit that this is the first time I have the urge to cry.

I seem to understand a little bit what Li Bowen taught me.

Whether it is the first class or the second class.

In fact, there are only two words.

mercy.

It can also be said that there is only one word.

Shou.

I don't have to admit that I am a villager.

You can also reject this identity in your heart.

But I can't stop caring about those who have helped me and cared about me.

I can be indifferent to the world, but I also have to distinguish between good and evil, and be compassionate.

If all I think about is myself, what's the difference between me and the walking dead?
Just like the City God.

Everything he did disgusted me from the bottom of my heart.

How could I be like him?

After figuring this out, I suddenly felt that the previous depression dissipated in an instant. After paying respects to Xu Er's family, I turned around and left.

At the same time, footsteps sounded.

It was the villagers from Xiawei Village who came here.

Even though the villagers of Xiawei Village had a lot of opinions about Xu Er's family because of Xu Er's daughter, but at this moment, they came as well.

Isn't this compassion?
It was already early morning when we returned to the ghost building.

I thought Li Bowen wasn't here, but when I walked into the haunted building, I saw him sitting on a chair in the dark, as if he was waiting for something.

Seeing me coming back, he said lightly, "Have you figured it out?"

I nodded and knelt down towards him.

This time I didn't have any other thoughts in my mind, I just thought that I owed him this kneeling.

Because in the past, even if I recognized him as a master, I just thought he taught me something, and it would not be shameful for me to call him master.

I kowtowed heavily and shouted from the bottom of my heart, "Master!"

However, Li Bowen didn't have any emotional changes because of my voice, he just looked at me calmly and said, "What do you understand?"

I thought for a while and said, "Mercy."

"I shouldn't be so selfish."

Li Bowen stared at me.

"Then I asked you, how did you feel when I killed that city god for my teacher?"

I froze for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "He should be killed."

"Since you also think he should be killed, how can you be merciful?" Li Bowen looked at me with a sneer.

I fell silent.

Li Bowen stood up and walked towards me.

"Mercy? That's just a ridiculous reason that a group of sanctimonious people found for themselves."

I froze again.

Li Bowen suddenly pointed at me with hatred and cursed: "I only teach you eight characters!"

"Kill what should be killed, what should be saved!"

"do you understand?"

After speaking, Li Bowen shook his sleeves angrily and went up to the second floor.

"Kneel there and reflect on yourself."

"When did I understand?"

"When will you go upstairs again?"

It wasn't until his figure disappeared from my sight that I came back to my senses, and it took me a while to smile wryly, he always seemed so unreliable.

But I also understood it all at once.

It is true that I think too much.

It should be killed.

It should be saved.

that's enough!
It is wrong to only kill but not save, and it is also wrong to only save but not kill.

After I figured it out, I didn't kneel on the ground anymore, and walked directly towards the third floor.

When passing the second floor, Li Bowen's voice came again.

"Have you thought about it so soon?"

I smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid."

"I think you are quite stupid." Li Bowen's voice was somewhat disgusted.

I couldn't help but twitched the corner of my mouth slightly and said: "What to say next time, just say it directly, there is no need to be so wordy."

"Get serious."

"It's terrifying."

After finishing speaking, I ignored Li Bowen and went directly to the third floor.

I didn't read any more books, but lay directly on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

After waking up the next day, I followed Li Bowen's instructions and went to find Liu Shan.

Liu Shan was very surprised that I asked him to move to Xiawei Village, but after I explained to him that this matter was not easy for Liu Shan, Liu Shan readily accepted it.

After solving this matter, I continued to return to the ghost building.

For the next few days, everything was quiet.

Li Bowen didn't take me anywhere other than teaching me how to draw talismans from time to time. He often went out, but he came back soon after every time he went out.

Maybe it's because I didn't have as many things as in the first few days, but I have completely calmed down in the past few days, and I have mastered one-third of the entire book of talismans.

I have been able to draw the most commonly used talismans with ease.

Although it is still not as good as Li Bowen's ability to fabricate talismans out of thin air, it is still a big improvement for me.

It's just that Li Bowen never taught me the Taoism from the beginning to the end.

Even if it was the Taoism that he saw him use before, he only asked me to remember the Golden Light Mantra. As for the others, he said that it would be bad to learn too much.

Until the seventh day, he asked me to stop drawing the talismans and asked me to take out "Tongshen".

He said my heart has calmed down.

I can learn the skill that suits me best.

And the most suitable one is naturally the secret technique belonging to the villagers, "Tongshen"

Li Bowen said that "Tongshen" is actually a secret technique created by a living earth fairy for the village guards, and the invitation to the gods was not bestowed by the city god.

Being able to control the invitation to the gods is the threshold for becoming a living earth fairy.

And if you can cultivate "Tongshen", you will definitely become a living immortal.

This secret technique has disappeared for a long time.

The most recent appearance was obtained by the living immortal a hundred years ago.

And I'm second.
