Chapter 240 Am I Wrong

Wang Shimo smelled the aroma of wine and meat in the air, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Are these the things they eat and drink?"

"Yes, the other guests enjoyed their meal very much."

"I want to be like them."

"Okay, no problem. Please wait a moment, sir."

Hu Si Niang entered the kitchen and soon brought out two pots of wine and two dishes, placing them in front of Wei Yangzi and Wang Shimo. "Sir, please enjoy your meal. If you haven't had enough, we can refill your wine and dishes for free."

The men at other tables heard this and shouted to Hu Si Niang to get more wine and food.

Hu Si Niang responded in a sweet voice, "Okay," and went to the kitchen to add more wine and food to each table so that they could enjoy their meal to their heart's content.

Wang Shimo had been craving for food for a long time. He touched the chopsticks on the table and was about to pick up some food, but Wei Yangzi stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."

Wang Shimo was anxious. "If you're not hungry, don't eat. I'm starving to death."

With his other hand, he quickly grabbed a jug of wine and began to drink from the bottle. He drank it in one gulp, revealing a look of enjoyment: "Good wine, good wine!"

Hu Si Niang looked at Wang Shimo who was drinking with gusto and asked Wei Yangzi, "Master, why don't you drink? Such good wine and such delicious food."

Wei Yangzi had already stood up and stared at Hu Siniang fiercely: "I don't think you look like a human being!"

Hu Si Niang asked with a smile: "Then what do you think I look like?"

"Like a monster!" After saying that, Wei Yangzi drew out his sword and slashed at Hu Siniang.

Hu Siniang suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.

Just as Wei Yangzi was vigilantly observing the environment with his sword in hand, the tavern suddenly disappeared, and the guests inside were sitting on the graves.

A grave is a table.

The men at the five tables were all horrified, and the next scene made them even more horrified.

The wine they drank with gusto was actually sewage, and the delicious side dishes they ate were actually earthworms!

The so-called tavern was actually a mass grave.

After the illusion disappeared, everyone's mouths were filled with the taste of feces and they all started vomiting violently.

Wang Shimo's mouth was also full of bad smell, and he vomited yellow bile.

Only Wei Yangzi was watching his surroundings vigilantly, and said sternly, "Which evildoer is harming people here? Reveal your true form!"

At this time, night had fallen and a cold wind suddenly blew up, causing sand and dust to fly.

Amidst the flying dust and smoke, Hu Si Niang's white robe fluttered in the wind, and her long hair also fluttered in the wind. She walked barefoot, with a pair of bells on her snow-white ankles, which made pleasant tinkling sounds as she walked.

"That lame Taoist priest, I won't make things difficult for you. Leave that blind man behind, and I'll let you go."

At this moment, Wang Shimo finally remembered Hu Si Niang's voice, and a look of horror appeared on his face. "Fox demon, is that you? You're not dead?"

"Are you disappointed that I didn't die?" Hu Si Niang's voice was like the cold wind, chilling to the bone. "You went to the capital to take the imperial examination, your money was gone, and you were also ill. I hired a doctor to cure you and gave you money to go back to the capital. When you left, you thanked me profusely, saying that even working like an ox or a horse for the rest of your life would not be enough to repay my kindness. However, after you entered the court, to please the emperor and gain promotion and wealth, you took advantage of my weakness after cultivating the Nine-Tailed Fox and led your troops to take my fox heart to prolong the emperor's life. You also wanted to take my fox fur to celebrate the emperor's birthday. I narrowly escaped death and spent years recuperating and practicing, just to avenge that day."

Wang Shimo felt his way towards Wei Yangzi, hugged him fearfully, and shouted, "Master, save me! That fox demon is the best at deceiving people. She's full of nonsense, don't listen to her. She specializes in eating people's hearts and is extremely vicious."

Wei Yangzi protected Wang Shimo behind him and pointed at Hu Si Niang, saying, "Humans and demons are on different paths and have nothing to do with each other. I advise you to leave immediately and stop causing trouble for the world."

"Damn Taoist priest, do you really have to protect that heartless man?"

"If you harm anyone, I will kill you."

Hu Siniang wanted to kill Wang Shimo for revenge. Wei Yangzi naturally would not watch people being killed by monsters, so he fought with Hu Siniang.

The two men fought, sand and rocks flew, and the sun and moon changed color.

Wei Yangzi protected Wang Shimo, but the group of men were killed by Hu Siniang's magic.

"Monster! You kill innocent people indiscriminately. I will definitely kill you to eliminate the monster and defend the way!" Wei Yangzi drew out his sword and pointed it at Hu Siniang angrily.

Hu Si Niang laughed and said, "You stinky Taoist priest, what kind of Taoism are you defending?"

"Naturally, that's the right way!"

"What is right and what is wrong?"

"Monster, you are harming the world, you are evil!" Wei Yangzi said righteously.

Hu Si Niang burst into laughter again. "Humans are born righteous, and demons are born evil? Ridiculous! Ridiculous! The wine, food, and drinks just now were all tainted with the five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt. The more evil a person has committed, the more delicious it smells and the more addictive it becomes."

Hu Si Niang pointed at the bodies on the ground and said, "They were bandits who killed and robbed people nearby. Their hands are stained with blood. Do you think they are righteous? You stinking Taoist priest, you keep saying you are righteous, but can you tell the difference between good and evil?"

Wei Yangzi suddenly fell silent, but Hu Siniang wanted to kill Wang Shimo, so Wei Yangzi still stood in front of Wang Shimo and fought with Hu Siniang.

Hu Si Niang was furious and said, "You insist on protecting him, don't you? Then I'll show you whether you are protecting the good or the evil!"

Hu Siniang suddenly disappeared and her whereabouts disappeared.

After Wei Yangzi escorted Wang Shimo back to the capital, Wang Shimo's eyes were healed. He presented Wei Yangzi with a large sum of silver and knelt down to thank him, tears of gratitude, and vowed that Wei Yangzi was his second parent. Wei Yangzi refused to accept the silver and kneeled down, and prepared to leave the capital.

Unexpectedly, Hu Siniang set up a magic circle, trapped the capital, and forced Wei Yangzi to kill Wang Shimo and take his head.

Wei Yangzi naturally refused and fought with Hu Siniang again. But this time, Hu Siniang used the magic pearl as the center of the formation, and Wei Yangzi had a very hard time resisting.

"Is the life of the entire capital more important, or is Wang Shimo's life more important, stinky Taoist priest, make your own choice." Hu Siniang forced Wei Yangzi to kill Wang Shimo at the risk of the lives of everyone in the city.

Wei Yangzi was about to unite the entire capital to resist Hu Siniang, believing that as long as the entire city was united, they could use the power of their will to break the formation. However, he saw that after the capital was besieged, various factions in the court took the opportunity to fight for power.

The Ninth Prince, harboring ulterior motives, took advantage of a natural disaster to force the Emperor to abdicate and give way to a virtuous person. To maintain his throne, the Emperor, believing slanderous words, captured boys and girls in the city and offered them as blood sacrifices to prolong his life.

The upper class was busy fighting, causing chaos in order, and the evil people below were burning, killing and looting, and the entire capital was like hell on earth.

Wei Yangzi traveled extensively, persuading those in power to put aside their struggles and dedicate themselves to eliminating the demons and breaking the formation. The emperor demanded that Wei Yangzi kill the Ninth Prince before he would comply, but the Ninth Prince, in turn, demanded that Wei Yangzi persuade the emperor to abdicate. They both believed that internal troubles should be eliminated first, followed by external ones.

Wei Yangzi went to the common people and persuaded them not to do evil. However, the evildoers said that they all had their own difficulties. Why were some born rich and some born poor? If corrupt businessmen and corrupt officials could rob people openly, why couldn't they rob people openly?

The monster has not killed anyone yet, but people have already killed each other and the blood has flowed like a river.

Finally, Wei Yangzi was forced to sacrifice his life to cast a spell to break the formation and force Hu Si Niang to reveal her true form.

Hu Si Niang's original form is a giant demon that has cultivated into nine tails. When her original form appears, she is hundreds of feet tall, as majestic as a mountain, and full of oppression.

Her face is extremely beautiful, and there is no woman in the world who can compare with her beauty, but her beauty also reveals an extraordinary fierceness.

Her nine fox tails were like nine tornadoes, strangling Wei Yangzi from all directions.

Wei Yangzi once again sacrificed his life and blood to ask the Jade Emperor to possess him. They fought till the sky was dark and the earth was pitch black, and only then was Hu Si Niang killed.

Hu Si Niang looked at the sword that had pierced her chest, and as she lay dying, the blood on her lips was a delicate and poignant sight. She looked at the bleeding Wei Yangzi with pity in her eyes.

"Humans have their own nature, demons have their own nature. We are both living beings under the law of heaven. Why do you think your human nature is right, while my demon nature is unreasonable? It's about repaying kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge. Where did I go wrong? Lame Taoist priest, no wonder you suffer the five disadvantages and three shortcomings. You say you are exorcising demons, but in fact you are protecting the evil. Heaven can't stand you, so this is the punishment you have been given!"

"Do demons kill more people, or do humans kill more people? And what is the righteous path you are protecting?"

Hu Si Niang finally disappeared between heaven and earth, and the magic pearl fell into Wei Yangzi's hands.

Wei Yangzi won, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. He held the divine pearl in his hand, his face filled with confusion.

Wang Shimo, who was hiding nearby, stared greedily at the magic pearl. If he got this magic pearl, he would have boundless magic power, and from then on, he would be the best among the people!

Wang Shimo pretended to be seriously injured and approached the defenseless and seriously injured Wei Yangzi. In order to snatch the magic pearl, Wang Shimo blinded one of Wei Yangzi's eyes.

In the end, when Wei Yangzi took back the magic pearl, he accidentally killed Wang Shimo.

He held the magic pearl with a sad look on his face.

"I can eliminate demons, but I cannot eliminate the evil in human nature. I can conquer devils, but I cannot conquer human greed. Am I wrong? What is right and what is wrong?"
