Chapter 71 Do good people get rewarded?
After several people reached a cooperation, the four-person team set off.
Ma Jian found that since he paid the spirit stones, the treatment was indeed much better than before.
At least Gao Huohuo would have told him in advance before whipping him, so that he wouldn't hit his head against the ground.
"Attention all units, there are monsters ahead, please be on guard. Fellow Daoist Ma, please hide behind me."
This is the first time that Ma Jian has lived such a stable life since he separated from his senior brother, and he is in a very happy mood.
Next time I go out, I must bring more spiritual pills. Who would have thought that this place would consume so much spiritual energy?
Fortunately, I met Bai Qiang and the others. Although they are relatively poor and a bit greedy for money, they are still reliable in doing things as long as you pay them with spirit stones.
Ma Jian was still hiding behind Gao Huohuo, thinking about his future life, when Gao Huohuo whipped him and the monster appeared in front of him.
It is indeed not the monster mentioned before. Could it be that they all came to Ziwu Peak to catch monsters?
Is he the only one who came to Ziwu Peak seriously to appreciate the misty purple mist on the top of the mountain?
"Still want to run? Didn't you say you're not a bad person? Then why are you running?"
“Ah… well…”
"Write it down on paper. Who can understand what you are saying?"
After Gao Huohuo finished speaking, he struck the monster with his spiritual power and signaled Lou Chongxiao and the others to stop.
The monster pretended to take the paper and tried to run away when they were not paying attention. Unfortunately, this time he only ran a few steps before he found that he could not escape no matter how hard he tried.
Gao Huohuo and the other two looked at him jokingly. "Don't you like running? Run now!"
Only Ma Jian thought that the monster was blocked by something, and he even ran over to feel around, but there was nothing.
So what is he performing without props?
Ma Jian asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Bai Qiang, what's wrong with him?"
"It's not because we're worried you'll be bored, but we're giving you a vivid demonstration of what it means to be unable to escape even with wings."
It is indeed quite vivid, but it looks a bit funny. Why?
Seeing that he really couldn't escape this time, the monster stopped struggling and sat down on the ground.
"Now take us away from Purple Mist Peak and I will help you find the person who harmed you."
Upon hearing that they were going to leave Purple Mist Peak, the monster reacted violently and stood up, shaking its head and waving its hands anxiously.
Gao Huohuo pretended to be angry and asked, "Don't you want to take us out?"
The monster shook his head again, then took out a piece of paper, wrote something on it, and handed it to them to read.
"You can't get out now. There will be an exit only when the moon is full."
Full moon? It seemed like it was a full moon last night, but it's hard to say about today.
In this Purple Mist Peak, even the moon cannot be seen. I wonder how they made the judgment?
"Tell me why you became like this?"
The monster had an ugly face. Although Gao Huohuo could not see his expression, he could still see his hesitation.
She quickly imitated her master's previous behavior, with an expression that everything was under her control, and said seriously, "I only listen to the truth."
Everyone was a little uncomfortable with Gao Huohuo's sudden change in expression.
But you know what, I was really a little fooled by her pretense.
Because the monster had already started writing very quickly, fearing that if he wrote too slowly, he would arouse her suspicion.
Lou Chongxiao and Ye Lingyu both said that they had learned something new. The junior sister was indeed very good at bluffing people.
He quickly finished one sheet of paper and started writing the second one. It seemed like it would be another long story.
The monster stopped only after he finished writing on ten sheets of paper. Gao Huohuo was afraid that he didn't have enough paper, so he almost took out the talisman paper and gave it to him.
As soon as he stopped writing, the four of them rushed over to see what a tortuous and bizarre story it was.
After reading the ten pieces of paper, the four of them fell into an unusual silence. Even Lou Chongxiao, who loved to talk the most, felt a little depressed.
It's not a very tortuous or bizarre story, but it is a story of ingratitude, good people not being rewarded, and it makes people feel depressed.
It makes people feel that the values they have always believed in have been shaken.
The monster was originally a doctor from a nearby town named Li Kaide. Since he started to treat illnesses and save lives, he could not say that he was saving the world, but he could be said to have rescued people from the hands of the King of Hell.
He was always kind and generous. For patients who had no money to buy medicine and no one to take care of them at home, he would go to the mountains to collect herbs himself.
Help the patient to make medicine until he is completely cured.
He was well-known in this town. Even in the dilapidated temple where Gao Huohuo and the others had stayed before, there was a golden statue of him.
However, the last time he went to Ziwu Peak to collect herbs, he was infected by something unknown and turned into this half-human, half-ghost appearance, unable to even speak.
At the beginning, he hid in the house and secretly treated himself, but unfortunately he couldn't even figure out the cause of the disease and couldn't cure it at all.
Until someone came to see him again and found him in this state, the news spread everywhere, and people spread rumors that his disease was contagious.
So the people in the town unanimously agreed to drive him out, most of whom had received his kindness.
But when he needed understanding and care the most, he was betrayed one by one by the people he had helped.
Then, not long after, news of missing persons began to spread, and the people in the town suspected he was responsible.
In a fit of rage, he smashed the golden statue of him in the temple. The small temple, which was originally a popular place for worshippers, eventually became an abandoned temple with no one to take care of it.
A year has passed since he was infected, and only one person has escaped from the monster.
It was also through that person that the news of the monster injuring people was spread.
When the news reached the Lu family, they first sent their own cultivators to check it out, but once the Jindan cultivator entered Ziwu Peak, he never left again.
Although there are Nascent Soul cultivators, they are rare talents for a family like the Lu family, so they issued a bounty to attract other cultivators.
Since being driven out, Li Kaide has been hiding around the town.
Recently, he found that there were more monks in the town, and he was afraid that he would be beaten to death, so he hid in Ziwu Peak.
But after he went in, he found that he couldn't get out, but he still had to eat every day, so he picked some ordinary fruits to eat.
After eating the fruit, Li Kaide found that his body had changed, and the mist seemed to be beneficial to him.
Because he felt that he seemed to have some strange power, but he didn't know what the function of this power was.
It was not until last night that he found that he could see the way out clearly, so he hurriedly left here and wanted to go home to look through medical books to find out what was going on with him.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he met Gao Huohuo and the other two in the ruined temple.
Li Kaide thought that these three people were here to capture him, so he released his power on them.
As a result, two people were caught in the trap. After hearing Gao Huohuo's words, they realized that this kind of power is called illusion.
Then he heard them say that there was a treasure that could restrain his power, so Li Kaide wanted to steal the thing so that no one could catch him.
But he didn't know that it was Gao Huohuo's plan, and she took the opportunity to catch him. Fortunately, he escaped quickly.
