"Spare my life? What would I do with your lives? Your lives are worthless to me, you stink so badly even a dog wouldn't eat you."
As if to verify Xi Louyue's words, the Howling Dog spat out the man's arm and gagged twice.
The Howling Spirit Dog has extremely strong canines; it can bite off a mortal's arm in one bite.
But it is kind by nature and will not easily hurt people.
Although the villager had a hole in his arm, the howling dog didn't actually use much force.
It was practically equivalent to holding the villager's arm in one's mouth.
This guy probably just went to the toilet, because he did have a foul odor. The howling dog was the victim.
It's a smart dog and doesn't like to eat poop.
Seeing Xi Louyue's unreasonable behavior, the villagers who had previously been so arrogant as to smash Buddha statues now huddled together like a group of weak and powerless poultry.
How could I not be afraid?
They could deliver a powerful blow to Master Huiyuan, but they could only remain silent like chickens in the face of truly evil people.
The best way to deal with these troublemakers is to instill fear in them.
Without deterrence, the better you treat them, the more disastrous it will be.
Xi Louyue originally intended to leave and let the villagers fend for themselves; he didn't have the compassion to save anyone.
All beings suffer; when all beings die, there will naturally be no more suffering.
Why risk your life to save a rotten person?
But when he thought of Master Huiyuan's life, he felt pity for him.
Even in his final moments, Master Huiyuan died to protect these ignorant villagers.
His death was not the suicide he was accused of, as the villagers had rumored, and the villagers' eye injuries were not caused by the relic.
The culprit was the black sheep they ate.
This black sheep was no ordinary poultry; otherwise, why would Huiyuan, a sixth-level high monk, insist on keeping it by his side?
It was originally discarded waste by the demon sheep herd.
After leaving their tribe, the demon sheep had been eating people for hundreds of years, and on the day they met Huiyuan, they happened to have their eyes on the people of this village.
The dense forests of Liangxi Mountain provide the perfect hiding place.
The demon sheep hid in the forest, waiting for nightfall to unleash its carnage.
However, it was very unfortunate to encounter Master Huiyuan, or perhaps it was very fortunate to encounter Master Huiyuan.
"You beast, you are too bloodthirsty and will not have a peaceful end. Come and cultivate with me."
The demon sheep hadn't expected the bald monk to let it go, and felt no gratitude, only contempt.
How dare they presume to tame demons? Foolish and laughable.
The demon sheep knew how to conceal its abilities and bide its time. In order to survive, it pretended to accept education.
They are much smarter than those villagers.
But it was secretly looking for an opportunity to devour Master Huiyuan.
This old monk was like easy prey delivered right to its doorstep.
If I swallow him, I'll be close to transforming into human form.
Once it takes human form, it can cultivate in human form. At that time, apart from cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels, no one will be able to see its true form.
There is a place for it in this world.
A place where no one drives it away.
Over the course of more than a hundred years, the demon sheep attacked Master Huiyuan more than 36,000 times.
...
Even the demon sheep are sheep; they're all incredibly stubborn.
You have to try everything. If you can win, you win; if you can't, just pretend you want to stick together.
Anyway, monks are compassionate and won't do anything to it.
At first, the demon sheep genuinely wanted to kill the old monk Huiyuan, but later it turned into wanting some of his cultivation, and then it was to fight him and increase its own cultivation.
A year ago, when the demon sheep saw the rare spiritual fruit on the mountain, it had already thought of bringing one to the old monk.
Lotte Temple is not large, but it can accommodate it.
In recent years, floods have frequently occurred at the foot of the mountain, and people occasionally go up the mountain.
It's fine when the meat isn't right in front of your mouth, but once it's brought to your mouth, it becomes a bit difficult to resist.
The demon sheep suffered all day long, but due to the old monk's oppressive aura, it just kept eating grass and did not harm a single person.
This time, he even volunteered to offer his own body to relieve the villagers' urgent needs.
As long as its demonic soul remains, Master Huiyuan will guide the demonic soul to the living bone, and within seven days, flesh and blood will grow back on the bone.
It believed that the old monk would surely resurrect it, so it did not resist when the villagers' knives fell.
Offering up this body of flesh and blood is my way of atonement.
Didn't Buddha also cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle?
It has given up its entire body; surely that can make up for anything.
When the old monk becomes a Buddha, it will be enough if he remembers that he raised this black sheep.
However, this dedication ultimately took an unexpected turn.
The villagers hurled insults and abuse at Master Huiyuan, attacked him with knives and axes, and finally buried him alive.
That small temple was used to bury Master Huiyuan.
This place once sheltered them from the wind and rain.
The demonic sheep was furious: "Old monk! Hurry up and restore my flesh and blood, I'm going to eat those bastards!"
Master Huiyuan knew that the demon sheep had already become ferocious, so naturally he refused.
"They were innocent victims too, and they needed an outlet for their anger. This little bit of harm is nothing to me, so let it go."
The demon sheep refused, but knew that Huiyuan was kind-hearted and that going against him head-on was definitely not an option!
Wait a few more days, until Huiyuan thinks it has let go of its grudges, then settle accounts with that group of ignorant people.
On the seventh day, the demon sheep was reborn.
The newly grown muscles and flesh are stronger than before.
Taking advantage of Huiyuan's unpreparedness, the demon sheep quietly descended the mountain.
It sneaked into a house where the man had just lost his wife and children.
The man cursed and swore, hurling vulgar insults at Huiyuan.
"Damn it! I finally managed to snag a wife from outside and she's dead. What bad luck! That bald monk, he killed my wife and son, he deserves to be buried!"
"Who are you calling deserving of this?" The demon sheep's eerie voice startled the man.
The man turned around and saw that it was a black sheep talking. He was so frightened that he fell off the stool.
The demon sheep's appearance and pupils are different from those of ordinary sheep.
So the man immediately recognized that this was the same sheep they had eaten.
The dead sheep reappeared before the people and even spoke.
Moreover, after the man fell off the stool, his line of sight was exactly parallel to the black sheep.
Those eerie, sinister green eyes, with their flat pupils, made the man's hair stand on end, and a puddle of foul-smelling liquid instantly appeared beneath his buttocks.
What a good-for-nothing.
The demon sheep hadn't eaten anyone in a long time, and now it was even more hesitant.
I feel like if I were to take a bite of this thing, I would spit it out the next moment.
The people it had encountered before were terrified and ran away in terror; it had never felt so disgusted before.
They probably haven't had meat in a long time, and the thought of eating meat makes them feel nauseous and disgusted.
As the demon sheep hesitated, the man darted to the wall and touched the sickle in the house.
He swung his hand and chopped down on the demon sheep's head.
The smell of blood and the sight of injuries caused the demon sheep to lose its mind in an instant.
By the time it realized it, the man's neck had already been bitten through.
Master Huiyuan rushed over and witnessed this scene.
When faced with Master Huiyuan's disappointed expression, Demon Sheep's first reaction was to explain.
However, it didn't know what to explain.
It really did want to kill these villagers to vent its anger.
