Hell Emperor

"Invulnerable to all poisons?"

Li Feimo was stunned. Although she was usually very willful, she was definitely not stupid. She immediately understood the meaning of Ye Jie's words.

She turned around cautiously, her slightly narrowed eyes showing a bit of caution.

The chef held a sharp boning knife in his hand and enthusiastically cut the roasted lamb into pieces and handed it to everyone. The townspeople wandering in the distance were silent, and their eyes that occasionally glanced at them showed a bit of indifference.

"It seems that Qingge didn't choose a good place." Ye Jie sighed.

Looking at the food on the plate, Li Feimo felt a chill in her heart. If it weren't for Ye Jie's reminder, she would have eaten all the food.

"What's going on... Could it be that the people here are motivated by wealth and are planning to assassinate us?"

Li Feimo lowered her voice, still unable to believe that as a descendant of Xuannv and also the most outstanding practitioner, she was almost harmed by these ordinary people with low strength.

Ye Jie just shook his head: "For a little money, ordinary people would never have the courage to murder an important person. Apart from love, the only thing that can make ordinary people fearless is hate."

However, Li Feimo was still a little confused: "Brother Jie, could it be that you guessed wrong? Maybe the people here don't have any malicious intentions. How did you tell that they had poisoned the food?"

Before Ye Jie could answer, Luo Dong came over. Seeing that Li Feimo had not moved at all, he asked with concern: "Girl, why don't you eat? Is the food we prepared not to your liking? Do you want to eat it?" What, I’ll have someone prepare it for you now.”

Luo Dong is just an ordinary person. He can't see the disembodied soul, so naturally he can't see Ye Jie. However, Ye Jie clearly saw Luo Dong's appearance, and he was indeed very similar to the person in his memory.

When Luo Dong called him, Li Feimo glanced at Ye Jie and laughed: "Some people say you poisoned the food. I dare not eat it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Wei Zheng's face straightened. Xia Wei also put down the half-eaten leg of lamb and looked over in surprise.

"What...what are these words? Is this girl crazy? How dare I poison and murder an official of the imperial court?" Luo Dong tried his best to defend himself with sweat beads on his forehead, "The townspeople are preparing a banquet with good intentions, but you are here If you frame a good person, is there any conscience in this world?”

Being stared at by everyone, Li Feimo was entering the world for the first time and had little experience. Not only was he a little embarrassed on the outside, but after hearing Luo Dong's explanation, he lost confidence in his heart and had to turn his eyes for help to Ye Jie who was standing aside.

"Master?"

Xia Wei was surprised for a while. According to her understanding, although Li Feimo had a quick temper, he was definitely not someone who was looking for trouble. When she said this, someone must be guiding him behind his back.

Could it be Master, saying something to her?

Ye Jie did not hide anything, and revealed his findings: "The surname Luo is not common. I have been a ghost for so many years, and I have only met a few people with the surname Luo. One of them is named Luo Bei. She is the wife of the Hengshan Bandit." Wife... If I guess correctly, this Luo Dong should be the brother-in-law of the Hengshan Bandit. "

"What?"

Xia Wei's delicate body trembled. She had always believed in her master's words, and the sharp light in her eyes surged, releasing the pressure like a tiger that wanted to choose people and devour them, frightening the nearby townspeople.

Luo Dong didn't understand what was happening, and was still trying to defend himself: "These dishes are carefully prepared by the townspeople, how could they be poisonous? If you don't believe it, just look..."

As he said this, he took a plate of chopped mutton and started to eat it.

At this moment, an invisible force knocked over the plate in his hand and broke it to the ground. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, stunned and speechless.

Xia Wei responded. She stood up and lifted the table with all her strength. With a crackling sound, the dishes that were so mouth-watering just now were now spilled on the floor, and it seemed that she could no longer eat them.

Ye Jie slowly stopped his hand, looked at the overturned dishes, and sighed deeply: "It is not good to waste food."

After listening to Ye Jie's explanation, Li Feimo understood everything this time, and said indifferently: "I know, it turns out you are the brother-in-law of the Hengshan bandit! No wonder you want to poison us, you must be for Hengshan The thief takes revenge!"

His identity was exposed, Luo Dong's heart trembled, and he finally took off his disguise. Knowing that he was outmatched, he still said angrily: "Thieves who steal the country, take human life lightly, kill babies, and die unjustly. I am just doing justice for God! Now my life is at an end, I just wish I didn’t kill a few more thieves before I died!”

Hearing this, Li Feimo couldn't help but take another look at Ye Jie, with a different look in his eyes.

Things turned out just as Ye Jie expected. She didn't understand the dangers of the world and was almost plotted by ordinary people. If she really ate those poisonous foods, she would be miserable for a long time even if she didn't die.

Li Feimo raised her finger, and the white fingertips were filled with electric light, and was about to kill Luo Dong, who was intent on poisoning everyone, but at this moment, Xia Wei stopped her.

"What?" Li Feimo was puzzled, showing confusion in his eyes.

According to Xia Wei's jealous temper, she should be the first to kill the poisoned thief when something like this happens. Why is she stopping him now?

Xia Wei just replied: "I have a few questions to ask him."

"Okay...what else can I say? I can only listen to you." Li Feimo waved his hand helplessly.

Xia Wei came to Luo Dong and asked sharply: "You said someone who steals the country, what do you mean?"

Luo Dong snorted coldly. After the poison was exposed, he, who was only at the peak of the first level, also gave up escaping: "Isn't it obvious? The Great Sui Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the world. The people in Li Tang took advantage of the chaos to steal the country and seize the world. What are they but thieves? These evil thieves of the country should be punished by everyone!"

Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, but then she heard Wei Zheng say: "It's ridiculous. The evil dragon Yang Guang went on a rampage. In order to conquer the Dongsheng Divine Continent, he sent an unknown number of troops to die at the hands of the demon. In the end, he caused public resentment and backlash. He brought it all on himself. Li The founding of the Tang Dynasty is what the people want.”

Luo Dong glared at him: "What does the people want? It is no longer the case! From the day you massacred the infants, the country was destined to be destroyed. My youngest sister and her newborn child were all killed by you." If you die, even if you kill me, I will never let you go!"

Everyone was silent, Luo Dong looked up to the sky and roared: "Did you hear the dragon roar just now? That is the voice of the Lord of Sui. He is calling us, summoning us! He can return from the underworld because he heard us The voice! He will lead us to clear away the injustice in the world and bring justice to the world!"

At the end of the sentence, Luodong was furious and gritted his teeth.

Sometimes, people are not even afraid of death, they just want justice in their hearts.

Wei Zheng took a deep breath and slowly raised his sword: "Those who treason should be punished with death..."

"Wait a minute." Xia Wei suddenly stopped in front of Luo Dong, "Why do I think what he said is reasonable?"

"What?" Wei Zheng stared at her, "Do you know what you are saying? You'd better take back that sentence."

"Otherwise?" Xia Wei bared her teeth and said, "I can even kill the judge, so why not you! I only help the side of justice and fairness. Now it seems that the dragon's roar is not all bad. Maybe it will be a big deal. Sui Guangfu is a good thing for the people of the world! "

"You...how could you say such a thing!" Wei Zheng was trembling with anger at her.

Seeing that the situation became tense at once, it was Ye Jie who came forward to ease the atmosphere: "Okay, don't argue anymore. Xia Wei, remember not to be impulsive when things happen, and think twice before doing anything."

Under Ye Jie's persuasion, Xia Wei dispersed the spiritual power gathered in her body, turned her head and said unconvinced: "Isn't it true? Master, if you follow what he said, the Sui Dynasty is clearly the orthodoxy of the world, and Li Tang is the one who steals the country. man of."

Ye Jie smiled and said to her: "How can there be any orthodoxy or unorthodoxy? According to this, the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, where all the immortals gathered in the past, were the orthodoxy of the world, but where are they now? Going forward, there is also Xia As for the dynasty, your surname is also Xia. From this point of view, you are also the orthodox in the world. The so-called orthodoxy is just a banner. In my opinion, the most important thing in a dynasty is the well-being of the people. As long as it can take care of the people, there is no need to be orthodox. Why not?”

Xia Wei opened her clear eyes and looked at Ye Jie, thinking carefully about these words: "But... under the current rule of Li Tang, so many babies have died, so maybe a change of dynasty is not a bad thing."

Ye Jie raised his eyes and looked: "Maybe one day, there will be a change of dynasties, but it should not be now. The one who replaces Li Tang should not be the Sui Dynasty of the past. All things have proved that if the Sui Dynasty is restored, things will only change. Worse."

Xia Wei pouted: "But... I only heard that Yang Guang is warlike. He won't kill babies just for prophecy, right?"

Ye Jie didn't think so: "You are wrong... From the beginning to the end, the Lord of Guangwang Palace knew the truth of the prophecy. He knew where the Monkey King was suppressed, but he did not reveal any information. Instead, he only added fuel to the flames, causing people to make mistakes again and again. , I don’t know how many families were broken up, which ultimately caused public resentment to help him take back the world."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued: "What's more, although Li Tang was deceived, it was ultimately to resolve the catastrophe of the demon king's coming to the world, and the starting point was good. Now that the master of the Guangwang Palace has given an order, the evil soldiers and ghost soldiers are rampant. In the human world, people are slaughtered everywhere and their souls are enslaved just to satisfy their own selfish desires. Do you really think that restoring the Sui Dynasty is a good thing? "

Under Ye Jie's persuasion, Xia Wei clenched her fists several times and loosened them weakly.

Wei Zheng also sighed: "Miss Xia Wei, this is a last resort. The imperial court has given money as compensation to those families who have lost their babies..."

On the side, Luo Dong said sadly: "Money? I will give you the money back, and you will give me the lives of my sister and her child!"

Xia Wei felt weak all over, her eyes were blank, her thoughts were confused, and it was difficult to concentrate. The more she thought about it, the more painful she felt in her heart. In the end, she could only look at Ye Jie with tearful eyes:

"Did those babies die in vain? No one will remember them, and no one will be responsible for this. Neither the King of Tang nor the Emperor of Sui cared about their lives, but regarded them as victims. This Is there any justice and justice in the world?"

Ye Jie gently stroked her head: "The so-called justice only exists in the hearts of people. Justice does not rely on charity from others, but is something people get back themselves. The choice is in your hands. Although I don't want to see innocent people involved in the crime. You will enter the conflict, but no matter what choice you make, I will face it with you."

"Master..." Xia Wei gritted her silver teeth, forcing herself not to shed tears. She couldn't help but throw herself into Ye Jie's arms, her trembling body unable to calm down for a long time.

Ye Jie patted her back gently. After a while, she calmed down, wiped her tears and said:

"Master is right... The matter has reached this point and cannot be undone. Continuing to pursue the case will only involve more people in misfortune... I can forgive King Tang's method of saving the world, but I cannot forgive Emperor Sui's conspiracy. If If he had revealed the information about Monkey King earlier, so many families would not have been involved in misfortune.”

At the end, Xia Wei smiled miserably and could no longer hold back her tears: "Now that Emperor Sui has returned, even if we don't release the Monkey King, the King of Tang may stop infanticide to save the world in order to stabilize people's hearts... So, we have been busy for so long, but what have we done in the end? We have accomplished nothing. On the contrary, we have released the King of Demons and allowed him to wreak havoc on the Three Realms again and bring about a disaster. We are the big ones. Bad guy, right..."

Ye Jie stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xia Weiqiao's face: "You can't say that. One day, you ate nine bowls of rice and your stomach was still not full. It wasn't until you ate the tenth bowl of rice that you finally felt full. So you ask, why don’t I eat the tenth bowl of rice from the beginning? Why should I eat the first nine bowls of rice? If I eat the tenth bowl of rice from the beginning, wouldn’t I be full immediately?”

"Master..."

Xia Wei burst into tears and laughed, then heard Ye Jie say: "So, every step we leave has its own meaning. No one can eat the tenth bowl of rice directly, not even an immortal."

Xia Wei stopped asking. She hugged Ye Jie, closed her eyes tightly, and pressed her head against Ye Jie's generous chest, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Under Ye Jie's guidance, Xia Wei untied her heart, and warmth spread between the two. When she embraced Ye Jie, her face was filled with only attachment and happiness.

After a while, she spoke softly: "Perhaps... the experiences Master and I have experienced along the way are the so-called impermanence of things in the world."

"Everything in the world is impermanent? Could it be..."

Ye Jie was stunned and opened his mouth wide, followed by deep surprise.

Spiritual power like the vast sea converged on Xia Wei's delicate body from all directions, and majestic air waves burst out along Xia Wei's body. Wherever the air waves passed, everyone was shocked.

Li Feimo opened his mouth wide, unable to understand what was happening in front of him no matter what: "Xia Wei... has broken through the realm again! As a result, she has reached the late fourth level, and she is only one small realm away from catching up with her master. Wow...how is this possible?"

Shen Qingge, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing martial arts outside the town, also noticed the unusual aura, and there was a hint of surprise in his cold eyes.

Everyone was shocked by Xia Wei's breakthrough. Only Nan Linghe was looking at Xia Wei curiously: "Can Xia Wei really eat ten bowls of rice? I'm full after just one bowl..."
