Chapter 374: The Boldness of a Dog
The third boss suddenly woke up from his dream and realized that Ye Xiaoman had played a trick. He screamed and begged, "Why did you do this to me!"
"You said it was cause and effect." Ye Xiaoman answered good-temperedly, and asked the Scorpion Man to bury several executioners who often assisted in skinning people in the pit and execute them together.
"Third Master, you died because of your most proud skill. You can be considered a martyr. How magnificent!"
Ye Xiaoman waved her hand and urged the younger brothers who were standing beside her in a daze to quickly chisel open the skull and irrigate it with mercury.
Things change, and this time it is the turn of the third in command and other evil sinners to wail and scream.
Buhui and her mother didn't expect that the retribution for the evildoers would come so quickly, and they stood there in a daze.
Ye Xiaoman walked up to Buhui, patted her shoulder gently, pointed to the stone table filled with torture instruments, and said to Buhui's mother, "You can choose one of the tools and avenge your family with your own hands."
The unrepentant mother gritted her teeth, grabbed a small iron awl and a chisel, moved the snake's tail in front of the Third In command, and cut the Baihui acupoint in the center of the Third In command's head. The Third In command screamed sharply and a puff of blood spurted out.
Bu Hui shuddered, hugged Ye Xiaoman's legs and buried his face in her.
"Stop." Jiaying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
The brothers who were preparing to execute the sentence stopped.
The Third Master's face was covered in blood, and he took the opportunity to ask for help: "Master Jiaying, you have a kind heart, please save me, please save me!"
Ye Xiaoman turned and faced Jiaying. Given her current mental state, Jiaying's blatant dissent made her very impatient. "Why should we let it go?"
Jiaying, dressed in snow-white, stood on the blood-soaked sand, like a compassionate deity. "If you want to execute them, you can, but you don't have to resort to such cruel means."
The Third Master and the executioners knew they had no chance of survival and only wished for a quick death, and they quickly echoed, "Holy Son, have mercy!"
Ye Xiaoman felt as if she had just heard a huge joke. "Huh? They've done so many bad things, and you want me to send them off in the least painful way possible? There's no such thing as a cheap deal."
Jiaying had his own rational considerations: "You are cultivating the righteous path, not the evil path. Acting in an extreme way and pretending to be harmonious with nature will reduce your blessings and leave bad consequences, which will be detrimental to your future cultivation."
If Ye Xiaoman had normal thinking, she would easily have judged that Jiaying's earnest advice was purely out of consideration for her.
Cultivators who follow the path of humanity cultivate righteousness and maintain a pure heart, and are judged by the cause and effect of heaven. Cultivators who are burdened with sins and grudges often suffer backlash, or have bad luck and a short life, or when they are about to achieve the fruit of the Tao, they cannot withstand the test of heavenly thunder and die.
In other words, the leaders of the Guizhu bandit camp were guilty of many crimes and deserved to die in Ye Xiaoman's hands. However, when Ye Xiaoman could have killed them with one blow, she chose to torture the captives in cruel ways. Then, the way of heaven would produce new causes and effects based on Ye Xiaoman's behavior. For example, because of today's attempt, she awakened her hobby of torturing people, became cruel and bloodthirsty, and gradually fell into the path of evil. This was the cause and effect initiated by her "extra behavior".
This is why those who practice Taoism do not interfere, do not kill indiscriminately, try to act impartially and peacefully, and try to avoid creating too many causal relationships with others.
Jiaying had good intentions, but unfortunately Ye Xiaoman's mind was completely polluted by the ghost spirit, and she was unable to accept Jiaying's kindness.
Ye Xiaoman sneered at Jiaying.
She raised her voice and asked the survivors present: "Do you also support Jiaying's statement?"
The monks of Tianxin Sect were the first to stand up. One of their brothers was tragically killed by the third in command, and they wanted to kill all the Scorpion people as soon as possible.
Several monks wiped their tears and shouted, "Repaying evil with kindness is not a way to repay kindness. This kind of demon must be killed in the same way. Only in this way can we comfort the victim's relatives and friends and serve as a warning to future criminals!"
The survivors echoed the sentiment, their voices of approval overwhelming the sporadic opposition.
Ye Xiaoman finally asked: "Buhui, what do you think?"
Bu Hui exchanged glances with her mother, who nodded. She cried, "Daddy kept saying it was very painful before he died. Bu Hui also wants the bad guys to die in great pain."
Ye Xiaoman nodded and looked at Jiaying with a smile again, "Sir, I think we should just obey the majority."
She ordered again, "Do it."
The younger brothers began to prepare for skinning, and horrifying screams were heard again in the cave.
Ye Xiaoman took out a few photo balls and threw them to the Tianxin Sect cultivators. "Record the process. I want the entire Ghost Prison to witness my methods and let everyone know that those who obey me will prosper, while those who disobey me will perish."
The monks of Tianxin Sect responded respectfully. Their initial impression of Ye Xiaoman changed completely. They didn't expect that such an honest man could have such powerful means.
But think about it, even rabbits will bite when they are cornered, and honest people often do more extreme things than ordinary people when they are provoked.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoman refused to listen to his advice, Jiaying stopped talking. He was about to chant the mantra, bypassing Ye Xiaoman and directly saving the Third Master and other villains.
Ye Xiaoman had been paying attention to Jiaying's actions. An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Dear Master Fozi, what are you going to do?"
Jiaying wanted to chant a spell, but he suddenly realized that his fingers could not move.
Ye Xiaoman asked softly, "Are you going to disobey my orders?"
She took out a piece of red paper cut into the shape of a human from her clenched palm. There was a piece of red paper with a particularly dark color. It was the blood from Jiaying's heart that she had taken by deliberately breaking his fingertips.
The Paper Man Technique is a basic magic of the immortal sect, which originated from a witchcraft technique. It mainly involves obtaining the opponent's name, birth date and blood, and then making a substitute doll to temporarily control the opponent's actions.
Jiaying's eyes were cold. Being controlled by someone of a lower status was a very rare experience for him. It was the first time in the world that this had happened.
Even he himself couldn't explain why he was easily fooled by Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman said, "I've always been worried. Although we're a small team working together, Master Jiaying's abilities far surpass mine. What if one day you and I part ways?"
"You are so powerful, I really can't bear to give up your ability."
"So I used a little trick to keep you here. If you had just left, it would have been too difficult for me to unify the Ghost Prison alone."
Jiaying found that no matter how absurd and willful Ye Xiaoman was, he couldn't be angry with her.
She stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes that drooped at the corners, sighing and speaking helplessly, like a helpless little animal, using pitiful means to protect itself - she was such a jerk, why did he still make excuses for her?
The atmosphere around Ye Xiaoman stagnated, and several monks from the Tianxin Sect tactfully moved further away from Ye Xiaoman.
