Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 18 Listening to the Corner

"For my own life, in order not to be cast aside by the people, and for my so-called official name, I personally sent my son and daughter to hell."

"Benefactor Wei Xu, is the little monk right?"

"Everyone is praising Mr. Wei's official status and his willingness to sacrifice his own children for the sake of the people of Jingshui. But they don't know that all of this is false. It is just a big lie told by an executioner who cherishes his life, reputation and face. That's all."

silence······
The flames burned in the brazier. Wei Xu lowered his head and stared at the flames with red eyes. The scene from five years ago flashed in his mind. This was the resentment that had accumulated in his heart.

Two young and pretty faces seemed to flash across the flames, and they burst into tears instantly.

The painful cries echoed far away in the darkness.

After half a quarter of an hour, Wei Xu raised his head.

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in his cloudy eyes.

"The young master is right. Five years ago, as the young master said, it was Lao Chen who personally buried his son and daughter. This secret has been accumulated in Lao Chen's heart for five years. During these five years, although Lao Chen has I'm still alive, but I'm living in pain. Every time I hear someone talking about what happened back then, my heart feels like a knife. But now that the little master has spoken about it, I feel much better."

Xu Zisu looked at the old face in front of him that was smiling again, and couldn't help but shook his head.

Not knowing the slightest repentance is a waste of life.

"Donor Wei, does he know where his heartache came from?"

"Naturally know!"

Xu Zisu frowned and looked at the old man in front of him. He actually knew?
"Haha, are you surprised, little master?"

"Five years, a full five years have passed, and it's been enough for me to figure out a lot of things."

"Now that he knows it, is it possible that the donor doesn't have any intention of regretting and changing his ways?"

Facing Xu Zisu's questioning, Wei Xu still looked calm, and a smile seemed to hang on his face.

"Remorse? Change?"

"The two sons and daughters of the old man have fallen into the belly of the demon. What can they do if they regret it? Can reforming change the facts?"

"Rather than that, let them taste the pain of losing their children."

they?

The people of Jingshui County.

As he spoke, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

Xu Zisu looked at the scene in front of him and sighed secretly.

This person has become possessed. In his previous life, he would have been a fucking lunatic. You buried your own children by yourself, and you still want other people's children to be buried with you. What's the point?
Poor people must be hateful, and their words are true.

"People's greed is endless. I believe that as long as this precedent is set, Jingshui County will inevitably sacrifice alive to pray for rain whenever there is a severe drought in the future."

"What do you think, little master?"

"Yes, if this precedent is set, based on human nature, it will indeed be like this every time there is a severe drought in the future."

"Yes, people's hearts are inherently evil."

"Don't you, Donor Wei, be afraid that the young monk will go to the county government to report you?" Xu Zisu looked at Wei Xuxiao and asked.

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice, and everything can't be caught up. If the young master makes a big fuss to pray for rain tomorrow, think about whether the county magistrate believes in me or you? There are tens of thousands of people in Jingshui County, you Can’t stop it.”

"Ha ha!"

Xu Zisu suddenly smiled.

A smile also flashed across Wei Xu's face.

"If the two donors have heard enough of Qiangen, you can come in."

Wei Xu's smile faltered and his expression changed slightly.

The temple door was pushed open, and Zhang Dunqian and Xiang Zizhan strode in, followed by a government servant with a knife.

The two of them glanced at Wei Xuman with cold eyes.

I never thought that this once famous county magistrate of Jingshui would turn out to be such a villain.

Wei Xu first glanced at Xu Zisu, and then looked at Xiang Zizhan again. Although he didn't know the person next to him, he must be a court official, otherwise he would not let the county magistrate accompany him, and then smiled sadly.

"I never imagined that it would all end in vain."

"Take this thief away and put him in jail." Xiang Zizhan said coldly with a livid face.Thinking of what he said at the county government office today, his face couldn't help but feel hot. It was in vain for him to trust the former county magistrate so much, but he didn't expect it to be all faked. It's really unpredictable.

Wei Xu seemed to know that he was doomed, and let the yamen servants put him in chains and iron shackles.

When passing by Xu Zisu, he couldn't help but pause: "If it doesn't get what it wants tomorrow, it will definitely become angry and the consequences may be even worse than now."

"This is nothing the donor should worry about."

"Hahaha, with all the people of Jingshui accompanying me, I am not alone on the road to the underworld."

Then he was taken away by the yamen and disappeared into the night.

Zhang Dunqian looked at Xu Zisu in confusion: "Little master, what do the words of this villain mean?"

Xu Zisu looked at the huge statue in front of him: "There is a monster in the Jing River. It was the monster that asked Wei Xu to hold a living sacrifice in a dream in the past. Wei Xu's heart disease was just a small trick done by the monster. "

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be so wicked that it would try to make another living sacrifice."

When the two heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

"Do you really mean what you say, young master? Is there really a demon in this Jingshui?"

"Haha, little monk never lies."

The faces of the two suddenly darkened.

Monsters, when they reach their status, are more or less knowledgeable. Even in the capital, some high-ranking officials even raise monsters under their sects.

Moreover, during the Jin Dynasty, countless humans died at the hands of monsters every year.

If there really is a demon in the Jingshui, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The people of Jingshui are in danger!

"Now it's too late to ask the state government for help. I wonder if the little master has a good plan?"

"Haha, it's just a demon. Kill it and you can solve it."

The two looked at each other, with a flash of horror in their eyes.

Zhang Dunqian looked at Xu Zisu hesitantly and asked, "Is the young master a Buddhist cultivator?"

Xu Zi smiled and nodded.

"good."

After Zhang Dunqian heard this, he smiled helplessly. No wonder, it turned out to be a Buddhist cultivator.

There is a kind of people in the world, called monks, who seize the aura of heaven and earth, cultivate Taoism (Buddha) and live forever,

Their methods are inhuman, they have the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and they also have the power to subdue demons and eliminate demons. What's more, some of them can live for a long time and watch the rise and fall of dynasties in the world.

With such ability, it is reasonable to refuse him an official position.

"Then I'll have to trouble the young master tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter, the poor monk is here just to get rid of demons and save people."

"Little master, be merciful."
-
The next day,

As the sun rose, a lively sound slowly reached my ears.

Xu Zisu opened his eyes from the temple,

That's right, he didn't leave yesterday.

After a few breaths, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Zisu stepped forward and opened the door.

When the visitor saw that he was a young monk, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Little Master, is Wei Ji here?"

"Donor, Wei Sacrifice has something important to deal with, and has given full authority over the sacrificial affairs to the young monk."

When the visitor saw this, he obviously didn't believe it. There was a flicker of doubt in his eyes. Just as he was about to ask, a voice came from behind: "I can testify to this. The priest Wei did hand over the matter of sacrifice to this young man." Master, he also said that the young master is more suitable to pray for rain than he is."

"I believe that as long as you can ask for rain, you probably don't care who the priest is."
