Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The village chief was stunned and said with some emotion: "Changsheng's mother is kind-hearted. This is what good people get rewarded for!"

As she spoke, she waved at the dazed Changsheng mother and daughter, "Come over and kowtow to your benefactor!"

Song Xuan waved his hand, "No need to kowtow... The porridge we had last night was pretty good. If possible, could you please make some more? After dinner, we'll set off!"

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Changsheng's mother was a simple village woman who was not good at speaking. When she heard that Song Xuan liked to drink porridge, her face immediately became much happier. She took little Changsheng home and hurriedly made porridge.

After it walked away, the village chief whispered, "Master, tell me the truth, is that fish monster coming specifically for our village?"

"Correct!"

Song Xuan explained, "If no one intervenes, your entire village will die, especially Xiao Changsheng, who is someone the fish demon must kill!"

"Why is this happening?" the village chief was shocked. "We are honest fishermen and have never provoked any monsters!"

Song Xuan said calmly: "I have never offended a monster, but I have hurt people!"

The village chief was shocked, "Master, where did you get this from?"

"Think for yourself, this matter is related to immortality, what have you done?"

The village chief was still confused when the dark-faced old cow among the onlookers suddenly spoke up, "Village chief, don't you remember? Last year, Changsheng was almost taken away by human traffickers. We beat the traffickers to death and threw the body into the river!"

The village chief was stunned and frowned, "Master, is this the reason for the trouble?

That fish demon was transformed from a human trafficker after his death, and is here to seek revenge on us?"

"Indeed!" Song Xuan nodded and said, "This person's resentment persisted after his death, and he transformed into a fish demon, coming here to seek revenge on you!"

"He still harbors resentment!" The village chief was a little angry. "He was a human trafficker, doing something that was against the will of heaven and earth. Even if he was beaten to death, he deserved it. How could he have the nerve to seek revenge?"

The smile on Song Xuan's face faded, and his voice turned cold, "Are you sure he is the human trafficker?"

The village chief was startled and looked at Lao Niu and others.

Lao Niu hesitated for a moment and whispered, "That day when we returned from fishing, we saw Changsheng being held by a strange man by the river. Without thinking much, we thought he was a human trafficker, so we rushed over and beat him up.

Maybe someone hit him too hard, and when they stopped, they found he was already dead."

The village chief's throat moved and cold sweat began to flow on his forehead.

By this time, many people had a rough idea in their minds that they might have really wronged someone.

"Master, the person holding Changsheng at that time was really not a human trafficker?"

Song Xuan nodded. "Changsheng was drowning and was saved by that man. But you indiscriminately beat him to death, treating him as a human trafficker. After his death, his body was thrown into the river and not buried. Who wouldn't feel resentful?"

Chapter 654 Today, I will show you a clear path!

As soon as Song Xuan said this, the village chief's body went limp and he sat down on the ground.

If this is true, then their village deserves this disaster!

Not only did they deserve it, but if things go wrong, the villagers who killed people might have to face a murder lawsuit.

As expected, Captain Xing, who had been watching the show and had not left yet, now held the long knife at his waist with one hand, separated the crowd and walked directly to the village chief.

"Old Li, someone from your village is involved in a murder case. Hand him over and come with me!"

After Constable Xing finished speaking, he cautiously clasped his fists and bowed to Song Xuan, "Sir, is it okay for me to do this?"

Song Xuan looked him up and down. "When a death occurs among the people, the imperial laws will handle it. Do you still need to ask me what to do?"

Captain Xing chuckled awkwardly.

Can I not ask you?

You snap your fingers and such a big fish monster will set off fireworks. What if you snap your fingers at me because you are not satisfied?

I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and I don’t want to be set off by fireworks!

"Mr. Song!"

After Chen Xuanzang understood the whole story, he looked at him indignantly, "Since you knew the reason behind this, why did you just kill the fish monster?

It also has its own difficulties, it is just for revenge. Young master, you are a man with great supernatural powers, why not capture it and educate it to awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in its heart?

"A demon is also alive. Even if it is a demon, it is still a life. You can obviously save it, so why do you have to kill it?"

Song Xuan chuckled, "Why, are you teaching me how to do things?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a solemn and murderous atmosphere filled the air. Even the villagers who were involved in the murder case and were kowtowing and begging for mercy lay still on the spot, not daring to move.

"Why did they start arguing out of the blue?"

Miss Duan quickly stepped forward to separate the two, and gently advised, "We are all exorcists, and we may have different philosophies on exorcism. It is normal to have disputes, but we must still value peace and not damage the harmony."

She reached out and pushed Chen Xuanzang back, "No matter what, Master Song saved you just now, otherwise you would have been in the fish monster's belly now.

Someone has done you a favor, and you turn around and blame them. How can that be justified? "

Chen Xuanzang's expression changed several times, and he finally bowed to Song Xuan and said, "I will repay you for saving my life someday. But I still say that I don't agree with your exorcism philosophy.

We're not on the same page, so let's just say goodbye!"

As he spoke, he clutched the tattered book of 300 nursery rhymes in his hand and angrily pushed through the crowd and walked out.

Song Xuan stared at the other person's back.

He remembered that in the story of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, Chen Xuanzang had a master.

He is a chubby man who looks like Maitreya Buddha when he smiles.

Song Xuan was thinking, if he struck Chen Xuanzang now, would the mysterious master of the other party show up?

After a moment of hesitation, he gave up the idea.

No need!

There is no hatred.

He hasn't even entered the Heavenly Man Realm yet, so there's no need for him to rashly offend the Buddhist forces in this world.

Even if you really have some ideas, it’s not too late to talk about everything after you become a martial arts master.

...

Miss Duan seems to be very interested in Song Xuan.

When they were drinking porridge at Changsheng's house, she followed them over and asked some questions about exorcism while drinking porridge.

But Song Xuan had no interest in talking at all. He drank the porridge silently, said goodbye to Changsheng and his daughter, and walked out with his sister and wife.

At the entrance of the village, Captain Xing was escorting five or six men along the official road.

"These people were involved in a murder case. According to the laws of the dynasty, although it was not intentional killing and the incident was justified, the least they should be sentenced to is exile."

Miss Duan sighed, "How pitiful! Without the man who heads the family, their whole family will have a hard time in the future!"

Song Qian has disliked her for a long time. Sister Qingxue maintains her image as the mistress of the Song family, so it is difficult for her to say anything directly, but Song Qian does not indulge her.

"They are pitiful, but aren't the wives and children of those they beat to death pitiful?"

"You dared to beat someone to death without asking any questions. You think the law doesn't hold everyone responsible, so it's okay to beat someone to death!"

Miss Duan was still a little unconvinced. "It's all karma. Didn't that person turn into a fish monster after his death and harm people? Aren't those villagers who were eaten innocent too?"

Song Erni chuckled, "So my brother has already physically liberated it!"

As she spoke, she raised her head slightly and said proudly: "People must always be responsible for what they have done!

If you don't want to be responsible, then you have to show the ability to turn the table over at any time!

Just like you..."

Victoria Song looked Miss Duan up and down and said seriously, "You don't have enough strength, but you just want to be an exorcist. You are destined to be someone else's pawn and a grindstone for others!"

Miss Duan's expression changed. "What did you say? How come I'm just a pawn?"

Victoria Song waved her hand. "My cultivation is limited. I can only see that your fate has been tampered with. I can only say that your future will probably be very..."

Before she could finish her words, Yao Yue pulled her aside and whispered, "Be careful with your words. There's no need to provoke karma for no reason!"

Victoria Song gave a wry smile and admitted her mistake, "I'm sorry, brother. Things have been going so smoothly lately that I got a little carried away."

It is indeed taboo to interfere with other people's fate if you are not even a martial arts master.

She also knows her own problems. When her brother is around, she will indeed feel proud unconsciously. Subconsciously, she still believes that her brother is invincible and she, Song Erni, does not have to worry about anything!

In response to Song Qian's sincere apology, Song Xuan just nodded.

“Be careful next time!”

Having said that, without caring whether Miss Duan looked confused or not, the three of them flew up and flew away.

"Mr. Song!"

Miss Duan also soared through the air, shouting as she chased, "Don't speak half-heartedly! At least explain clearly, if I were a chess piece, how would I turn the tables?"

High in the sky, Song Xuan stopped and turned to look at the woman rushing towards him, "Other people are stubborn and will never believe anything that is not in their favor.

You are quite good. Although you are stubborn in words, you actually believe it in your heart, and you are still stubborn and want to get to the bottom of it.

Since my sister rarely gives advice, I will show you a way forward."

Miss Duan took a deep breath, clasped her fists and bowed, "I hope you can teach me!"

She is proud and never speaks kindly to any man in the world. She doesn't care about what ordinary people say and doesn't even take it to heart.

But she had a feeling that if she missed today's guidance from Young Master Song and the other two, she would miss her only chance of survival.

This feeling was very strange, hard to describe, but it really emerged in her mind.

Chapter 655: Is someone interfering with the prosperity of Buddhism?

"Sir, please speak!" Miss Duan clasped her fists and bowed.

"One is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulating good deeds, and five is reading..."

Song Xuan said in a deep voice, "Fate is beyond the control of ordinary people. If Miss Duan wants to change her fate, she can try other methods, such as accumulating good karma and gathering good fortune, or studying for a good academic record."

Miss Duan was stunned. After a moment of contemplation, she asked in surprise, "Sir, do you mean to become an official?"

Song Xuan laughed heartily. "I've said everything I need to say. How you interpret it is up to you. We just met by chance, so let's say goodbye today!"

After he finished speaking, Song Xuan stopped talking nonsense and his figure turned into a long rainbow. In a moment, the three of them disappeared into the vast sky.

Miss Duan felt confused.

She had lived for so many years and had never thought that one day she would consider becoming an official.

Subconsciously, she felt that what Mr. Song said was right. Being an official could indeed change one's fate to a certain extent.

But for some reason, whenever she thought about becoming an official, she would feel a tingling sensation deep in her soul, as if her entire body, mind, and even soul were rejecting it.

Rubbing her brows, she was so upset that she lost interest in continuing to exorcise demons. She needed to go home and think carefully about what path to take in the future!

...

On a mountain peak, Song Xuan and the other two stopped for a while.

Yao Yue whispered, "My dear, Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan are probably pawns of Buddhism. If we rashly get involved, will we get into trouble?"

"maybe!"

Song Xuan didn't care much, "If it really doesn't work, then I can only ask Wang Lin for help!"

His mentality now is different from when he first came to the Wanling Continent. Now that he has a backer, his whole mentality is different.

In his opinion, the path of spiritual practice is essentially divided into two states: finding a backer and being a backer for others.

Nowadays, Song Xuan handles small matters by himself, and doesn’t need to be pretentious about big matters. He just calls Wang Lao Mo to handle them.

If something happens that even Old Demon Wang can't solve, then there's nothing he can do. Lord Song will have to smash the dishes and overturn the table!

If you don’t let me play, then no one else can play. Summon the body of the main god from the previous life and let’s ascend to heaven together!

Having a backer and the ability to overturn the table at any time is the reason why Song Xuan dared to give advice to Miss Duan.

Looking around, Song Xuan said, “Let’s deal with the Jianghe County matter as soon as possible.

To save time, let's split up and visit all the rivers in this county as soon as possible. After we investigate thoroughly, I'll make the final decision on how to deal with these so-called river gods!"
