Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 280 Lightning Strikes Unfilial
This man named Shi Shi was originally a well-known rascal in the nearby villages. He had nothing to do on weekdays. When I returned home, I was supported by my mother at home.

At the beginning, the old mother relied on her diligence to do some women's work, and she could still subsidize one or two.

But after a long time, no help came.

Now the family is not only impoverished, but also owes a lot of foreign debts. It is almost thirty stones and there is no wife.

No family in the local village is willing to marry their daughter to such a bad person.

But usually evil turns evil, but he didn't commit any major crimes, but today, because of a few healthy horses in the yard, the stone with no spare money in his hand became malicious.

If he can do this, he will have everything if he sells four healthy horses.

But what Shitou didn't expect was that the dead old woman who couldn't give a fart on weekdays would be so difficult to deal with, she kept yelling, for fear that others would not know what she was going to do now.

Angry, Shitou raised the hatchet in his hand to the dead old woman who was so bored with him on weekdays.

Just when it was about to strike down, suddenly there was a thunder in the sky.

"Boom~!"

The sound of thunder shook the sky, as if it was about to shatter the sky.

The sky over the village became even more cloudy for a while, and a series of deep rumbling sounds came out of the dark clouds, as if the wrath of God was gathering in the clouds, and it might erupt at any time to kill this unfilial villain.

The huge thunder startled Shi Shi, and made him tremble subconsciously. The hatchet in his hand flew out of his hand for a moment, and landed beside him.

"Damn it, it's such a big thunder, I'm scared, old woman, just wait, I'll send you on your way right now."

Shi Shi suddenly started cursing, picked up the hatchet on the ground again, his face became ferocious, and wanted to do evil again.

But just picked it up.

"Boom~!"

A ray of thunder flew out from the clouds, and instantly landed on the stone, intending to kill it on the spot.

"Don't chop my son to death." The old woman next to her didn't know where the warning came from, she cried and hugged the stone all at once.

At the moment when the thunder that was about to smash the stone came to the top of his head, it suddenly turned away and landed on the ground in the courtyard next to it with a bang, exploding a piece of scorched soil, which made people's ears buzz. Buzzing.

Shi Shi looked at the pitch-black pit at the foot beside him, with hot green smoke rising from it, his face turned pale immediately, his body trembled, and he felt limp and weak all over.

It was the first time he encountered such a wicked thing.

He was almost killed by lightning.

The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky while crying and shouting: "God, please let my son go, he is just confused for a while, old man, please let him go."

"Boom~!"

What answered her was a thunder that wandered indefinitely in the dark clouds. The thunder shuttled like a thin snake, and it wanted to fall, but it never fell.

Shi Shi, who had a wicked face before, hugged his old mother and trembled at this moment.Crying and shouting; "Old woman, no, mother, save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to be struck to death by lightning."

"Don't be afraid of Shitou, mother is here, mother is here." The old man hugged his son tightly, crying and pleading to the old man, hoping to let his unfilial son go.

There were bursts of thunder, but there was no intention of calming down. Instead, it continued to brew, and it seemed that it would not stop until it reached its goal.

"Being a child, being unfilial is already an unforgivable sin. If you want to kill your own mother, it is the worst sin among the sins. People like you will not even have the chance to be reincarnated. You are destined to suffer forever. "At this time, a calm and somewhat indifferent voice sounded.

But under the light of the thunder, a tall and straight young man stood at the door of the backyard for some reason, looking at the old woman, mother and son.

"The divine thunder in the sky is already in place, even if you repent, it's already too late."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the pale, frightened stone shivering in his mother's arms, and pointed to the thunder and lightning in the sky.

"Young master, Shi Shi was just confused for a while, he was just young and ignorant, please save him, I am just such a son, if he dies, how will I live in the future."

The old woman cried bitterly and covered the stone in her arms to prevent him from being struck by lightning.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "I can't save him, and I won't save him. His evil has been beyond the tolerance of the heavens. If I let him go today, I will tell the world that the wicked son who killed his mother can be forgiven." Yes, let me ask, if such a great evil can be forgiven, is there such a thing as goodness in this world? How can those unfilial people deeply understand the importance of filial piety? In this way, the word filial piety, will be despised by the world, and there will be countless poor parents in the world."

"A villain who kills will not be forgiven by the court because of the love of his parents, and a villain who kills his mother will not be let go by God because of the love of his parents. The love of parents for their children cannot be compared with the filial piety of women for their parents. Balance out, because those are two different things."

Li Xiuyuan bowed his hands to the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, please be mentally prepared to let your unfilial son go on the road. After he dies, I will pay for his burial and support you for him."

His repayment to this mother-in-law is not because of her love for her children, but because she is an upright and reasonable mother.

She cried out before and stopped this idler named Shi Shi from doing evil, so it was worth his reward.

Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, Li Xiuyuan believes in this.

"Mother, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I will change, I will be filial to you, please ask God to let him not hit me." Shitou hid in the old woman's arms, trembling and crying, I dare not show my face.

Because the thunder above the sky is still rolling, it seems to be looking for an opportunity to fall the divine thunder.

"Mother is here, mother will protect you, you will be fine with the stone." The old woman also hugged her child and did not let go, she just sat on the ground and cried, not wanting to see her child being hacked to death.

Li Xiuyuan just stood there motionless, watching all this silently.

Seeing the old woman so heartbroken and weeping bitterly, his heart was also touched.

No matter how bad this stone was to her mother, no matter how much she beat and scolded her, no matter how mean she was, at this moment of life and death, the old woman still firmly protected her child from being hacked to death.

But because of this, can this evil son who wants to kill his mother be forgiven?
What Li Xiuyuan said before has clearly expressed his meaning.

cannot be forgiven.

If such a person can be forgiven, there is no justice or kindness in this world.

Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened them suddenly, looked up at the sky, and shouted: "If you don't send this mother-killing villain on the road now, when will you have to wait?"

As his voice fell.

A white thunder from the sky fell quickly, then penetrated into the nearby forest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Touch~!"

The next moment, there was a shock, and a small opening suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, and a white light flew out, heading straight for the stone.

"Mother, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." Shitou yelled when he heard the thunder, and hid in the old woman's arms while crying.

But when he was struggling, his head was exposed, and before the old woman could protect him, the white light flashed past, sank into the temple of the stone, and pierced out from the other end. A finger-thick hole was left on the old woman's clothes, which finally sank into the soil, leaving behind a puff of sulfurous white smoke.

The sound of Shitou's crying stopped abruptly, and his body was tightly curled up, with a look of fear on his face, and he had lost his breath and breath.

The hole in the temple that was pierced by lightning became his fatal wound.

"My son." Seeing this, the old woman burst into tears, holding the body of her son who was struck to death by lightning, heartbroken.

At this moment, the thunder extinguished, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed.

The bright moonlight also fell into the village again, dispelling the darkness and illuminating everything.
