A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World
Chapter 295 Double Standards
The weather in Wuling County suddenly changed.
A perfectly clear sky suddenly becomes overcast.
The monster was trapped in the light of the yellow paper and could not escape. It was humiliated by the yamen runners and the crowd. It roared, howled, and was helpless. In the end, it became disheartened and desperate.
The green eyes gleamed as it looked at Wang Sheng, and as it listened to Wang Sheng's shouts of violence, it couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
Wang Sheng took a step back: "What...what are you laughing at?"
The monster stared into his eyes and said, "Wang Sheng, did I provoke you when you met me?"
Wang Sheng remained silent, his eyes darting around.
The monster continued, "But you provoked me first. Seeing that I was good-looking, you deliberately created an opportunity to seduce me at the lantern festival, didn't you?"
Feeling guilty, Wang Sheng retorted, "Nonsense."
The monster laughed loudly: "You don't even have the courage to admit the truth? Do you dare to swear before the heavens? If you are lying, may you be struck by lightning."
Wang Sheng glanced at the overcast sky and gritted his teeth: "Why should I swear? I didn't say anything wrong."
Seemingly having witnessed Wang Sheng's shamelessness, the monster stopped asking for answers and simply said, "Before I married you, you were just a page in a wealthy family, lucky enough to know a few words. After I married you, I used my connections to help you get out of your social status and assisted you in your studies, allowing you to enter an academy."
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise; this was indeed a big surprise!
They all hoped the monster would finish its story and that the constables wouldn't arrest it so soon, so they gradually gathered around.
Wang Sheng wanted to hide back in his own courtyard, close the door, and not dare to listen.
But surrounded by the crowd, he couldn't back down.
Upon seeing this, the monster burst into laughter: "My husband, you've spent a fortune on your studies all these years. Where did you, a mere page, get so much money? It's all thanks to me."
Wang Sheng retorted stubbornly, "You...you're a demon, so of course you're spouting nonsense. Scatter them all, why don't you take it away..." He even yelled at the yamen runners.
The head constable had already regained his senses and looked at Wang Sheng, saying, "These words are related to the case, so feel free to speak."
She also couldn't stand Wang Sheng's past self-righteousness as a scholar and his smug, petty manner.
The monster laughed triumphantly: "I may be a monster, but in all these years, have I ever harmed you? Have I ever harmed a single servant in my household? Have I ever harmed a single neighbor or commoner?"
Wang Sheng remained stubborn: "I've never harmed anyone before, but you're a monster. Who knows, you might harm people in the future too. How can a monster be morally equivalent to a human? I've read the books of sages..."
"Pooh!"
The monster couldn't hold back any longer.
“You read the books of sages, and I’m a monster, yet you still want to make love to me every day, haha, aren’t you very happy? Don’t you still call me darling?”
Everyone:...
Yamen runner: ...
Wang Sheng's face turned deathly pale. As if recalling some scene, he suddenly turned his head and spat out a mouthful of liquid.
"Haha, now you know what disgusting is?"
Everyone was both shocked and delighted: it really was a huge bombshell!
In the future, the events of today will surely be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years among teahouses, taverns, and neighbors... Just thinking about how I was a participant and experienced it firsthand fills me with excitement.
Several women, in particular, were trembling with excitement, like leaves on a leaf.
With a little processing, this kind of material... wow...
Wang Sheng's face turned even paler: "I...I was deceived by you, you monster, that's why...that's why...If I had known you were a monster, I would have wanted to kill you..."
"Kill me?"
The monster laughed loudly, and the more it laughed, the more desolate its voice became.
"Don't tell me you don't know where my money comes from. You clearly know, and you even secretly watched how I obtained it, but... you just pretend to be deaf and dumb. What you love is this money, but you can't see that this money was dug out of the ground."
"shut up……"
"Feeling guilty?" the monster laughed. "You love my beautiful appearance, but you can't see my true face beneath. Is it that you don't want to find out? No... you're waiting."
Wang Sheng was already panting weakly, and he weakly called out, "Shut up—"
The monster roared at him, "You borrowed my money to bribe officials and were about to obtain a title of 'filial piety and incorruptibility,' about to pave the way to becoming an official. Now you despise me? You despise the money I found in the ground for causing you trouble, so you went to find a Taoist priest?"
Upon hearing this, the bailiff felt he couldn't listen any longer.
I want to lock down this monster.
But the people around shouted, "We want to hear it!"
One person shouted it out, and everyone else joined in, causing the constables to hesitate. Taking the lock was bad, but not taking it was even worse.
The head constable said, "Fellow villagers, we are only acting under orders to capture the monster. The matter of Wang Sheng is a decision made by the imperial court, and we must not conduct a private trial."
Everyone was silent.
The monster suddenly roared, "Heaven is so unjust! Why must we, the aliens, suffer such injustice? Why, why, why?"
After three angry roars, the light of the talisman floating in the air suddenly dimmed.
Everyone was shocked and took a step back.
Even the yamen runners panicked and took a step back; no one dared to step forward.
The head constable quickly ordered his men, "Go and fetch the Taoist priest right away! Hurry, be quick!"
One of the yamen runners quickly ran towards the Taoist medical clinic in the east.
At this moment, the light from the yellow paper suddenly faded, leaving it suspended alone in the air.
As soon as the light faded, the monster seemed to break free of its cage, suddenly standing up on its own. It was a colossal creature, as tall as a two-story building, with its blue face and fangs becoming even more ferocious.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, everyone scattered in a flurry.
The constables were also panicked and scattered in all directions.
It's all work that only pays two strings of cash a month, who would work so hard?
Wang Sheng was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, watching as the monster's large hand reached out towards him. Suddenly, he felt a heat in his lower body, and a fishy, foul smell filled the air.
Scared to the point of peeing.
The monster grabbed Wang Sheng by the neck with one hand, slowly lifted him up, and watched him kick wildly in the air, his face pale, his tongue sticking out.
"Husband, do you think I look good now?"
The enormous monster spoke as if it were a delicate and beautiful woman.
Wang was so angry he could hardly breathe, and he stammered, "So...beautiful...really...beautiful..."
"Ha ha--"
The monster laughed heartily: "What a fine Wang Sheng! What a fine scholar! What a fine intellectual..."
As the monster laughed, tears streamed down its face.
"It's all fake, all hypocrisy and greed. You're not a scholar, you're a villain!"
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking.
Wang Sheng's neck lolled to the side, his eyes widened, and then a stench emanated from his trousers. He was completely dead.
Suddenly, the monster opened its gaping maw and bit off Wang Sheng's head.
"click" "click"
Before long, Wang Sheng's flesh and blood were all inside the monster's belly.
Everyone kept their distance, not daring to approach, and some even hid inside the house.
The monster laughed loudly, turned around, and ran out of the city.
However, as it ran, the talisman suddenly disappeared from the sky.
The monster ran very fast and disappeared from the city in full view of everyone. After leaving the city, it ran for four or five miles before stopping in a forest at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, a talisman appeared above his head, and a beam of light enveloped it.
"who!"
The trapped monster looked around and shouted loudly.
After walking around for a while, they found a Taoist priest standing under a big tree.
"it's me!"
The monster saw Zhang Zhengdao and became wary, shouting, "Taoist, why are you stopping me instead of healing the sick? I haven't robbed you, I haven't taken down your roof tiles, and I haven't eaten your rice. Mind your own business..."
Zhang Zhengdao laughed heartily: "You monster, you always like to make excuses. I'm a Taoist priest, so exorcising demons and monsters is my specialty. That's why I stopped you—it was to subdue you!"
The monster chuckled: "I thought you were different from others, so I let you go. Turns out you're just like all those hypocritical people in this world."
Zhang Zhengdao said, "If you do something wrong, you should pay the price."
The monster roared, "I'm not wrong, the wrong ones are those hypocrites."
Zhang Zhengdao chuckled: "You're not wrong? Before I came to capture you, I did the math. You cultivated into a demon and ate a total of 1,367 people. Also, the human skin you just used belonged to one of those women."
The monster immediately fell silent.
"You also dug up more than 500 graves and stole countless gold and silver items that were buried with the dead."
"Meeting Wang Sheng didn't mean you wanted to reform, but rather that you wanted to use him to enter officialdom and then plan something bigger, right? Too bad Wang Sheng looks down on you, haha..."
Zhang Zhengdao was doing the accounting like an accountant.
The monster sneered: "So what if I am? I am a monster, and I am meant to eat people."
Zhang Zhengdao clicked his tongue and said, "Look, this is double standards. You're a damn hypocrite."
The monster glared at Zhang Zhengdao: "What do you intend to do?"
I'll destroy you!
Zhang Zhengdao snapped his fingers nonchalantly.
Suddenly, the talisman flashed with light and landed on the monster. Instantly, a great fire engulfed the monster, and in just a few breaths, it vanished into nothingness.
Their souls were scattered and they couldn't even be reincarnated.
After the fire was finished, Zhang Zhengdao looked at the distance and said, "Come out. I've been watching for so long, and seeing that you're a cultivator, I won't hold it against you!"
