Chapter 21 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
The dark clouds rolled deeper and deeper, becoming increasingly oppressive.
There were bursts of thunder.
An indescribable pressure spread out again, and the air became cold and thin. Even the villagers of Zhaojia Village were frightened by this scene and fell silent. They all knelt down.
Even though Brother Yuan... no, even though the immortal had compassion for all living beings last night and solved the crisis of hunger and disease caused by the flood for mortals.
However, the actions of the Zhao family and the county magistrate completely touched Yuan Ge'er's bottom line.
Killing one's own parents is an unforgivable crime.
The county magistrate's lips turned pale, and he knelt down, terrified and anxious, "Immortal, I didn't know you were an immortal." He suddenly turned and pointed at Zhao Pingshun, his eyes red, "Yes, it was this pariah who said you were a disaster and a monster, I just wanted to catch the monster to share your burden..."
Everyone was quiet, not daring to make a sound.
Zhao Pingshun's body trembled, and a huge sense of panic came over him.
He truly realized that Brother Yuan in front of him was no longer the stepping stone he could manipulate and use at will.
He will die!
Zhao Pingshun knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cui Niang, "Second brother, sister-in-law, please save me. I will never appear in front of you again."
As he said this, he hurriedly helped Zhao Fu, who had been ignored for a long time, up, "Dad, please help me plead with my brother and sister-in-law."
The other members of the Zhao family were trembling with fear and buried their heads, fearing that everyone would remember them.
Zhao Fu vomited blood again, raised his head, and held a glimmer of hope in his heart: "Ping An, Cui Niang, Dad was wrong——"
He did this not to excuse Zhao Pingshun, but because he did not want to completely sever his connection with the immortal world.
Zhao Ping'an's face was cold, "Dad, have you forgotten that we have signed the severance agreement?"
Zhao Fu's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked as if he had aged by dozens of years. His spirit was completely gone.
He didn't even want to take care of the boss's family anymore.
"Dad, Dad, please help me." Zhao Pingshun became even more panicked. He kept shaking Zhao Fu and hurriedly pulled Zhao Pozi: "Mom, please say something!"
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pushed Zhao Pingshun away, fearing that the immortal would be angry if she was a little late.
Zhao Pingshun had been favored by his parents all his life, and he simply could not accept what was happening before him. Love turned into hatred and strong dissatisfaction, and he began to blame everyone around him like a madman.
It was his parents' biased and unfairness that made him so bold. It was Lin'er who was not well-behaved since childhood and pushed Yuan'er aside. And Tian Xiaowan, as a woman, was not virtuous.
Always blame others.
Bai Yuan gradually became impatient as he listened. It just so happened that the true identities of the county magistrate and the Zhao family were already known to everyone, so the belated punishment could be implemented.
"Those who kill gods will be punished by heaven."
Bai Yuan didn't want his immortal identity to be too perfect and harmless. He needed to use the county magistrate as an example to scare others so that no one would dare to do anything bad to him and his original parents.
The words fell.
The thunder from the sky seemed to have received permission from an immortal, and it could not wait to strike down at the county magistrate and others, including the Zhao family and the villagers from that year.
No one was spared.
"Ah—help."
"it hurts."
These people were struck accurately and rolled on the ground in pain. Tiny flashes of lightning flashed and soon their skin was covered with wounds that penetrated deep into their bones. The remaining lightning also burned a large area of the surrounding grass.
This scene happened extremely quickly.
Everyone was so frightened that they took a few steps back, only then did they realize that these thunders would not affect innocent people.
Bai Yuan said coldly: "The thunder will travel through your flesh, blood and bones all the time until you die."
Everyone listened with awe and fear.
The county magistrate and others who were punished by God fell into complete despair, crying out for mercy, "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again," etc.
They really regretted it.
But what made them despair was that the thunder was still there.
The villagers and the people around were terrified, and had a clearer sense of the immortal's wrath, and they were even more in awe of him.
Bai Yuan walked to Zhao Ping'an and Lin Cui Niang, the brilliance on his body faded, leaving only the white-haired and white-eyed child wearing simple and patched clothes. He asked with concern, "Are you scared?"
The sudden contrast between the before and after made everyone feel envious. They wondered what good deeds this couple had done in their previous life to become the parents of an immortal in this life.
The couple, who were envied by everyone, felt a little uncomfortable, but tried hard to remain calm. They didn't want anyone to look down on them and thus embarrass Yuan Ge'er.
"It's okay. Your father and I are fine."
Bai Yuan nodded slightly, and turned his head slightly to look at the people around him: "You all can go away."
The villagers and others kowtowed quickly and subconsciously said "Farewell to the Immortal".
Look up again.
The surrounding immortal beasts bowed their heads one after another, then roughly rolled up the people struck by lightning and flew away, throwing them casually outside the village, and then their entire bodies slowly disappeared.
Bai Yuan stood where he was, signaling with his eyes that these people could leave.
Everyone came to their senses, embarrassed and hurried away.
The village chief hesitated for a few seconds, and deliberately stayed to ask Bai Yuan: "Immortal, those immortal grains..."
When he said this, his face suddenly turned red.
He actually didn't take Yuan Ge'er's words to heart yesterday, and even thought that Yuan Ge'er knew nothing about immortals. Who could have thought... Yuan Ge'er kindly reminded him only for the sake of Zhao Ping'an and his wife.
Bai Yuan said without hesitation: "Rice is good for the body. You can save some of it as appropriate. There is no need to worry about someone forcing you to buy it, otherwise the rice will lose all its benefits."
Just now, Bai Yuan thought of a better way.
He can slightly modify the energy in these fairy rivers and fairy rice. As long as he senses the slightest negative emotion related to pain, reluctance, etc., he will instantly send a warning to his main body.
Bai Yuan only needs to devote a small part of his thoughts to roughly determine the current situation. If it is a forced sale, he will take away the energy in the river water or food and never give anyone a chance to take advantage.
This also helps the public to form a consensus.
God is inviolable.
The worry on the village chief's face disappeared, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow in gratitude, but just as he was about to kneel down, he felt a gust of wind pulling his knees, and he could not kneel any further.
When the village chief hesitated and didn't know what to do, Bai Yuan talked about another important matter: "More mortals will come here in the future. I will take my parents and Liu Ermei's mother and daughter away, and I will not rent this house anymore."
He is now speaking human languages more and more fluently.
In addition to the special lessons provided by the system, part of it is also related to the increase in energy absorbed by oneself.
When the village chief heard this, he felt very reluctant to let her go.
This is an immortal.
But their village did not leave a good impression on Yuan Ge'er. In addition, he still remembered what the immortal said about the turmoil in various parts of the dynasty, and the evil demons took the opportunity to break the seal and cause cholera in the world.
How could he keep the immortal family here?
The village chief bowed deeply and said, "I'll remember this."
Bai Yuan’s current ability is only able to absorb emotional energy of a maximum size of a city, but he can continuously produce small energy balls, which will float around like dandelions.
That’s not all.
These energy groups can act as transit stations to absorb the emotions generated by the surroundings, whether positive or negative, and can also be responsible for monitoring whether there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, and provide feedback to the main body as soon as possible.
Immortals are omniscient and omnipotent.
He can't ruin his character.
These three words were mentioned when we were explaining how the gods preached and absorbed faith. It said that the most important thing for gods is not to collapse their personalities, otherwise all the faith accumulated before will collapse.
Bai Yuan kept it in mind.
Lin Cui Niang looked at the packed things in the house and tried to comfort Liu Ermei, who was in a trance and had not recovered yet.
Liu Ermei suddenly grabbed Lin Cuiniang's sleeve and said in a nervous and uneasy tone: "Can my younger sister and I really follow you?"
She always felt that everything was unreal like a dream, and she felt that she was not worthy of following the immortal parents.
How could she have deserved this?
"Just think of it as accompanying us. Besides, can you bear to see my little sister waste her life in the village?"
Mentioning my daughter.
Liu Ermei finally made up her mind, and suddenly pulled her younger sister to kneel down, kowtowed to Bai Yuan, and swore: "From now on, my younger sister and I will listen to you and will never betray you."
Bai Yuan originally wanted to stop the other party.
But then I remembered that the information provided by the system mentioned that when mortals who have nothing want to express gratitude, the only thing they can give is their life and kneeling down to kowtow.
If he refused, Liu Ermei would only become more uneasy.
Lin Cui Niang pulled up Liu Ermei and hugged Zhao Xiaomei: "We will all be fine in the future."
Liu Ermei nodded with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Pingan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was busy moving all kinds of packed things and asked his son, "Brother Yuan, where are we going next?"
Bai Yuan showed a thoughtful expression.
In addition to wanting to see the outside world, he also wanted to find the son of luck mentioned by the system, that is, the protagonist and supporting characters, so as to obtain the main storyline.
He was very curious about what the son of destiny looked like.
"Let's go to the nearest city first."
…
After everyone left the foot of the mountain, they could no longer contain their excitement and started chatting with the people around them. Some couldn't believe that an immortal would actually live in the Zhao family as a child, and when they carefully asked the villagers, their feelings became even more complicated.
This Zhao family... is so unlucky.
I watched helplessly as the immortal opportunity slipped away from my hands.
Some people shuddered as they watched from afar the miserable plight of those who were condemned by heaven. Others were curious about the Monster King and asked the surrounding villagers about it.
The villagers were also very curious about this.
Before, they didn’t dare to mention the Monster King too much, but now it’s different. Brother Yuan... Oh, no, it’s obvious that the immortal has a very good relationship with the Monster King, which means that the monster is definitely a good monster, and they don’t need to worry about the Monster King harming people.
So I told him everything that had happened recently.
More and more people gathered around. After hearing the whole story, they exclaimed, shook their heads and sighed. They felt that the Zhao family was more and more stupid. Most people in the village also regretted not being able to make friends with Yuan Ge'er's family.
Upon hearing this, the village chief scolded: "The immortals have blessed us with freedom from hunger and disease. Do you want more?"
These words immediately woke up all the villagers.
Since they chose to stand by and watch, not helping the Zhao family or Yuan Ge'er, and now that the other party has let bygones be bygones, how can they expect more?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the village chief said, "Just now the immortal told me that no one can force the sale of immortal grain from our villages, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
He turned around and looked at the people in the surrounding villages: "The immortal said that you'd better keep the immortal food and don't sell it, so that you can pass it down to your descendants."
He wanted to discuss this matter with other village heads in private.
But in this way, there is no guarantee that powerful people from other villages will do something to harm the villagers because they covet the immortal food. It is better to spread the matter when there are many people around.
It also saves you from having anyone come to bother you again.
He looked around at the different expressions on everyone's faces and said, "Of course, if someone wants to sell food for money, that's fine, but it has to be a voluntary transaction between both parties."
After finishing his business, the village chief waved his hand and left.
The rest of the people looked at each other, whether they were guards or wealthy businessmen, they each found the villagers in the surrounding villages and asked if they were willing to sell the immortal food.
Some people who were not short of money were anxious, fearing that they would fall behind and then the villagers would not sell any more after selling a part of them. They gritted their teeth and said, "There are so many immortal grains in the fields. It doesn't matter if you sell me some. I can buy them at a high price."
Many villagers were tempted by the high price and decided to sell one kilogram and save the rest for future use.
Soon, some people left satisfied.
The villagers also got the money they wanted, which they can use to compensate for the losses in their homes caused by the floods. Their families can also buy some meat and food, so that the coming year will not be so difficult.
In fact, there is not that much energy in these magical foods. A person with a weak body must eat these foods with every meal for at least a few months before there will be obvious improvement.
Bai Yuan's energy is not yet at the point where he can squander it recklessly.
…
When shop owners from the county, people from other walks of life, and even wealthy businessmen and dignitaries arrived in Zhaojia Village, they were inevitably shocked by the shining river.
When they heard people around them talking about what happened in Zhaojia Village last night and today, they all opened their mouths wide.
If they had not seen the immortal and the evil demon with their own eyes last night, and if this river had not been used as evidence, they would hardly have believed that the immortal had lived in the Zhao family as a mortal child for so long.
The villagers mistook the immortal for a disaster star because of his white hair and white eyes, and he was nearly drowned by a group of villagers who joined forces to cause trouble.
These people took a deep breath after hearing this, and some couldn't help wondering, "Why didn't the immortal teach those villagers and the Zhao family a lesson before?"
Someone thought about it and said, "Maybe it's just like what's said in the storybook. Immortals have to live as mortals to go through tribulations, so they have had a hard time these years. But who knows that there are always people outside making trouble and rebelling, which leads to chaos in the world and unrest in the human world. The evil monsters want to break through the seal and wreak havoc on the human world, so the immortals have to restore their identities to kill the monsters and quell the rebellion."
This speculation is reasonable and well-founded.
"It's also because the current emperor is weak and sickly. He fell ill before he could appoint a queen or give birth to a prince. This is why the regent took control of the government..."
"Shh, don't worry about your life."
Bai Yuan used the energy ball to listen to the conversation between these people and decided to go to the capital to contact these two people next.
&
In just a few days.
More and more people come to Zhaojia Village to do business, to trade, and some even see Zhaojia Village as a treasure land and want to buy houses at high prices.
But all the villagers refused.
The Zhao family and those villagers had a very hard life. They were covered in injuries and had to endure the lightning strikes every day and nightmares at night. They could not bear it anymore.
The idea of finding a master or a Taoist priest to catch demons was completely shattered.
The Zhao family wanted to leave the village, but unlike other villagers, they did not have the fairy rice to sell for money. The only valuable things in their home were their house and land.
Bai Yuan couldn't possibly let these people get the money.
They can only guard the house and continue to live a hard life in this life. Whenever rich and powerful people want to buy the house, they will urge the surrounding trees to transform into tree monsters and whip them.
The buyer was terrified when he saw this.
Anyone can see that it was done by the monster king. He doesn't want these people to have a good life, not to mention that he is a good friend of the immortal.
The buyers apologized profusely and then quickly left.
The Zhao family and the villagers showed despair on their faces. They couldn't help rolling around in pain again, and the regret in their hearts grew day by day.
The story about immortals and evil spirits spread quickly.
Some people were panicked, some became greedy for Zhaojia Village, and some were worried whether it would affect their rebellion.
After all, he is a god.
The evil demon tried to break the seal because of the turmoil in the human world, which caused many people to panic, fearing that the gods would come to visit them.
But what they fear more is that evil spirits will appear in their territory.
Occasionally, when there is a sudden flood or drought in a certain place, people would unconsciously think that there might be an evil spirit at work. Unfortunately, they have not found any trace of the immortal until now.
Yes.
Some people plucked up the courage to go to the foot of the mountain in Zhaojia Village, but they found that the place where the immortal had temporarily lived was already deserted.
They returned disappointed and became even more anxious.
It is really hard for people to believe in the stories about evil spirits and immortals unless they see with their own eyes the immortal signs in Zhaojia Village and the thunder disasters that befell the Zhao family and those villagers.
…
At this moment, Bai Yuan and his party were on their way to the capital.
The horses and carriages look ordinary, but they are actually made of energy balls and are extremely safe. The packed things are placed in the space made of energy balls.
This was the inspiration he got from the information about magical methods provided by the system.
When he used these two methods, Lin Cui Niang's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but praise him again: "How can Brother Yuan be so powerful?"
Liu Ermei also nodded.
Zhao Xiaomei's eyes sparkled, and she became much braver during this period.
It took them less than a few hours to reach the provincial capital, where they rested for a few days before continuing their journey to the capital.
Bai Yuan didn't just take in the scenery.
When he saw some refugees who could not even afford enough food and clothing on the road, he would use his means to treat these people. When he met people who were starving to death due to drought, he would use his ability of harvesting a bumper harvest to create ordinary rice fields.
So that they won’t starve to death this year.
Along the way, he never concealed the features of his white hair and white eyes, and was initially regarded as a monster by people until he used his skills and revealed the special effects of being surrounded by ice.
For a moment, they were reminded of the rumor from some time ago.
Evil demons are wreaking havoc on the world, and immortals have emerged to eliminate the demons and quell the chaos.
They were skeptical about the fairy rice that was born that night and the fairy river that could cure various infectious diseases after drinking it. However, when they saw the white-haired child perform these methods with their own eyes, they couldn't help but burst into tears and knelt down to kowtow.
"Thank you, Immortal. Thank you, Immortal."
The more Bai Yuan looked, the more he felt that the lives of ordinary people in the world were very miserable. They were all cannon fodder just like their original self.
The difference is.
These people were caused by the regent and his attempt to rebel.
Bai Yuan was in deep thought.
Is there no way to stop these people from harming the people?
He looked through the information about the gods and monsters provided by the system and soon had a general idea.
He wanted to make a big one.
He wanted to be the national teacher, and act out plays as gods and monsters, so that people would associate the turmoil and war in the world with evil monsters.
He can leave a ball of energy in various places and absorb the emotional power of the people around him, good or bad.
Once the bad becomes excessive, it will transform into evil demons to disturb the human world.
Once it is well, the energy can be used to stabilize natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.
That's right.
He can also use energy to connect with the official seals of local officials. Once the local people have too many negative emotions, the official will be punished by heaven, thus curbing the phenomenon of corrupt officials.
So on the way.
Bai Yuan constantly appears to display his god-level abilities, and occasionally he transforms into an evil demon to cause trouble and intimidate local corrupt officials and bandits. He then appears as an immortal to deal with the evil demon.
The two waves of energy were absorbed smoothly.
Then, he created another ball of energy and threw it into the ground before continuing on his journey.
Capital city.
As the Regent listened to the information conveyed by the secret guards, his expression gradually became ugly.
He still refused to believe that there were evil spirits and gods in this world, and even... the evil spirits and various natural disasters were caused by him plotting to make the emperor sick and taking the opportunity to monopolize power.
Doesn’t this mean that if he really succeeded in his rebellion, he would become emperor?
There will be all kinds of natural and man-made disasters happening all around, and even evil monsters causing trouble to the world?
How can a mere mortal resist all this?
He didn't want to believe it!
The existence of that god must be fake!
Bai Yuan was about to arrive in the capital city. The dignitaries and common people in the capital city had also heard the rumors about the immortals performing divine functions. Some people even determined from this information that an immortal was about to come to the capital city!
All the people were suddenly excited and panicked.
I was excited because I could see the immortals, but I was also nervous because I was afraid that some evil monster had appeared here.
After all, there is a regent in the capital.
