Having lived together for a hundred years, the man and the sheep suddenly started fighting.
Of course, Master Huiyuan promptly set up a protective barrier to prevent damage to people's homes and avoid causing panic.
Therefore, the villagers were unaware of this fight.
The demon sheep was still no match for Master Huiyuan, and Master Huiyuan showed no mercy this time either.
Only now did the demon sheep realize that their century-long struggle was nothing more than child's play to Master Huiyuan.
When the old monk was serious, it didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Even on its deathbed, the demon sheep showed no regrets:
"Old monk, I have eaten many people, so it is my own fault that I am eaten as well. This must be what you call karma."
You saved me, and you killed me. We're even now.
However, these ungrateful people must die!
In its final moments, the demonic sheep sacrificed its demonic soul to utterly destroy this land!
This energy was so immense that even the barrier set up by Master Huiyuan trembled.
Once the power of the demon soul breaks through the barrier, not only will the village be completely destroyed, but even the demon sheep will be scattered and never reincarnated again.
Master Huiyuan could not bear to see the demon sheep's soul scattered, nor could he stand by and watch the village perish. He chose to ignite the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and burn himself, using his golden body to dispel the demon sheep's resentment.
He himself destroyed his spiritual cultivation and physical body, and fell back into the cycle of reincarnation.
He redeemed the villagers, but also the demon sheep.
Back to reality
Xi Louyue gleaned the reason for the matter from the relic and sighed.
Is there anyone in charge of this village?
The villagers fell silent, unsure of what Xilouyue wanted to do with the person in charge. They figured it wouldn't be anything good, so no one dared to speak.
Xi Louyue said, "If there aren't any, then kill them all."
!!
The villagers were horrified, and some even began to cry.
"Please spare us, immortals! We'll never do it again!"
"My sage, the child is innocent! Please have mercy and spare their lives!"
The villagers only knew how to kowtow and beg for mercy.
There are no leaders here, only troublemakers!
Do we need an organization to fight? Can't we just give a shout and it's done?
Without organization, there is naturally no discipline.
If villagers' behavior is not restrained, it will gradually deteriorate.
The bolder villager stepped forward again: "Immortal, we were wrong! These bastards should all be chopped up and fed to the dogs, but they all have children and parents at home, and many of them are blind. If you want to kill, kill me instead, give them a chance to live."
When someone stood up for them, the villagers' cries subsided.
There was relief, but also regret.
The man who stepped forward was named Hoy. He was kind and righteous.
He neither joined in the humiliation of Master Huiyuan nor stopped it.
Every day when I return home, I am filled with guilt.
But this guilt was useless; his strength alone was too weak to change the situation.
Seeing that this person had some backbone, Xi Louyue's expression relaxed considerably.
Perhaps this village is not yet beyond redemption.
"What if they don't cherish this opportunity?"
Hoy lowered his head and thought for a moment: "My lord, I don't understand grand principles. But I do know that people can't always act recklessly! If they do something outrageous again, they're asking for death! Even if they're skinned alive, they deserve it!"
The kneeling villagers echoed, "We'll never dare to do it again. Please, immortal, give us another chance."
Xi Louyue waved her hand and implanted a rune into Hoy's forehead.
Hoy had prepared himself to die, but he never expected to be unharmed.
Whether it was an illusion or not, his body seemed to have become exceptionally light and full of strength, able to plow two miles without an ox.
Xi Louyue said, "The rune on your forehead can make your bones and muscles a hundred times stronger than ordinary people. Even if the whole village gathered together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat you."
Since you're not afraid of death, you might as well make good use of your life.
If anyone misbehaves again, you should skin them alive.
If you fail to do so, the rune will explode, turning your brains into mush.
Hoy never expected that not only would he not lose his life, but he would also be given such a task by the immortal.
Isn't this the kind of thing only those officials in the city can do?
He's not good at this.
But if he says he won't do it, and that angers the immortal, then none of us will have a good outcome!
Huo Yi gritted his teeth, straightened his knees, and kowtowed to Xi Louyue.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Immortal!"
Seeing this, the villagers followed suit.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Immortal!"
But when they looked up, Xi Louyue had already disappeared.
The villagers, who had just escaped death, were limp and sat on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.
He regretted the foolish things he had done.
"This immortal is truly kind! He clearly wanted to kill us, yet he was willing to let us go! What a good person!"
"Yeah, it was gone in a flash, that's awesome!"
The farmer who saved the snake will be bitten to death.
But the farmer breaking off the snake's fangs beforehand to save it is a heartwarming story.
After that, under Hoy's leadership, the villagers rebuilt Letian Temple on the mountain.
They worship devoutly every day, burning incense and cleaning the area, never daring to be negligent.
Forty-nine days later, the villagers who had been blinded by the relics gradually regained their sight. Although they had not fully recovered, they were able to work normally.
The villagers were overjoyed and served the Buddhist temple even more diligently.
As their lives improved, Hoy began to invite teachers from the city to educate the villagers.
Humans have always cherished freedom and abhorred constraints.
Indoctrination has always been uncomfortable and goes against human nature.
