Chapter 119: Your kindness almost caused me to be killed
Jinghe County.
This county town is a notoriously evil place in Northern Yuzhou. It was not like this in the past, but since more than 30 years ago, a group of evil men who came from nowhere bought the position of the former county magistrate and became the new county magistrate, they began to carry out a bloody rule in Jinghe County.
For the local people, it was truly unbearable suffering.
Those who can run run.
But how many people can run?
After all, the situation outside is probably more dangerous than here.
If you endure it, you can survive. But if you get outside, you won’t know how you will die.
Dai Mansion.
This is the residence of the local county magistrate. It is luxurious and magnificent, and every brick and tile is extremely luxurious, and all of these were built with the blood and sweat of the local people.
In a spacious dining hall, the arrangement of the dining table is different from that in other dining halls. His dining table is long, forming a U-shape, with a gap at the entrance to facilitate the servants to pass the dishes.
At this time, the room was full of people.
Splendid clothes, silks and satins, these are clothes that ordinary people would never dare to dream of wearing in their entire lives.
They were old, looking sixty-seven.
I'm in very good spirits.
Among this group of elderly people, there are also young people who seem to be out of tune with the people around them, but each of them appears to be relaxed and natural.
An old man is sitting in the main seat in the U-shaped character.
The old man had a kind look on his face and always had a smile on his face. He was in a very happy mood looking at the delicious food on the table in front of him.
At this time, an elderly man stood up, holding a wine glass, and said: "Today is our big brother's 70th birthday. Fellow brothers and juniors, let us raise our glasses together to wish big brother good fortune and a long life."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
Dai Yu also raised his glass, smiled, nodded to his brothers, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The old man who had just taken the lead continued, "We were penniless in the beginning, living on the edge of a knife, but under the leadership of Big Brother Dai, we have stood up and become the masters of our own destiny. We can get whatever we want in Jinghe County, all thanks to Big Brother's care."
Everyone echoed.
That's true.
They were nothing at the beginning, but since they followed their eldest brother to accumulate wealth and his eldest brother bought the position of county magistrate here, their lives have changed dramatically and all the people in the city are their slaves.
Food, drink, and daily necessities.
All of it was obtained from this group of cattle and horses.
Now they are old and not as motivated as before, but no matter what, this wealth will be passed on to future generations, allowing them to become the new masters and continue to enjoy the wealth they have fought for.
Dai Yu stood up and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your kindness, brothers. We, the eighty-eight heroes, have come a long way from nothing. It was extremely difficult. Now some of you have left us, but their efforts have not been in vain. Their descendants are still enjoying the wealth and glory they brought us."
After saying this, he looked at some young people sitting on the periphery.
Those are the descendants of the dead old brothers.
Under Dai Yu's gaze, those young men stood up, holding their wine glasses and toasting respectfully. Don't think they are ignorant because of their youth, but everyone knows that the old guys here were once ruthless people.
Killing people is like killing chickens.
As for now, for this group of young people, these old guys don’t like fighting and killing very much, and now they like to play insidious games.
"I wish Uncle Dai good fortune as vast as the East Sea."
"I wish Uncle Dai endless blessings in the future."
Young people send their blessings.
Dai Yu laughed, looked at them with cloudy but bright eyes, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It wasn't easy for us to build this kingdom. If we want to keep it going, we must work together and not have any dissenting thoughts. Otherwise, it will be bad for the brothers who have been with us all the way."
There is something interesting in Dai Yu's words.
Once people become stable, they start to think about all kinds of things.
He was the county magistrate here, so naturally he had to take the lion's share, which was what he deserved. However, some of his brothers began to feel dissatisfied, wondering why he got more and they got less.
As he said this, the old guys at the scene all lowered their heads, each with their own thoughts, and they always felt that the eldest brother's words were directed at them.
But they would not show it. Instead, they listened with smiles on their faces, expressed their loyalty one after another, and threatened that if anyone showed any dissenting thoughts, their eldest brother would take action and they would personally scatter his ashes.
The pleasant and relaxed atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
The old man who used to be Dai Yu's right-hand man said, "Brother, the matter between Hao'er and the girl from the Zheng family should be settled soon, right?"
Change the subject and talk about something else.
Obviously, this is what Dai Yu cares about the most. "Well, it's basically settled. It's a pity that he is not a direct descendant of the Zheng family. But it doesn't matter. As long as he can climb on the big ship of the Zheng family, he will be safe even if all of us old brothers are gone in the future."
He transformed from a vicious bandit to a county magistrate, and then from a county magistrate to the fifth rank, this was the rhythm of gradually moving from the lowest class to the upper class.
It would be a lie for everyone present to say they weren't envious.
But there was no way. Apart from Brother Dai, no one else present was qualified to have any relationship with the Zheng family, not even to meet them.
"Brother is right, but I heard recently that something is wrong in the outside world. The Cui family, one of the Five Famous Clan, was uprooted by a demon named Xuan Dian. Will this affect us?"
"Yes, I heard he was very brutal and killed many people."
Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of his old brothers, Dai Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "What is there to worry about? To put it bluntly, in the eyes of ordinary people, we are unattainable, but in the eyes of those practitioners, we are just like ants. They won't pay attention to us. Why did the demon Taoist want to cause trouble for the Five Hopes? Isn't it to form a deterrent and oppression, so that the remaining Four Hopes will recognize his existence. In the final analysis, he is the same as us."
Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that what the eldest brother said made sense.
I feel that's the case.
No more chatting about this.
Dai Yu looked at a young man and said, "Xiao Ma, I heard that you have been in a lot of trouble recently. Your father was lustful and forced more than ten concubines to marry him, but in the end, he was given a legitimate status. What's wrong with you? Why did you break into someone's house at night and defile their daughter in front of their parents? You even killed them afterwards. Do you know that because of what you did, the people in the whole city are becoming more and more resistant to us?"
Everyone looked at the young man named Ma.
I feel like he and his father are cut from the same cloth.
"Uncle Dai, they are just a bunch of low-class people, so just kill them." Ma Zhan didn't take it seriously, but when he noticed that there was something wrong with the change in Uncle Dai's eyes, he quickly said, "Uncle Dai is teaching me a lesson. I won't dare to do it again in the future. If it happens again, I will definitely give them a name."
Dai Yu took a deep look at him, then laughed, looking like a kind old man who cares for the younger generation, but the group of old and smart people at the scene knew that this kid's road was over.
What my eldest brother hates most is someone disobeying him.
But no one said it.
At this time, outside the city.
Lin Fan carried the locust tree demon and strode towards the city gate. Two soldiers with knives were sitting lazily at the gate.
When they saw Lin Fan.
They stood up one by one and looked at it in shock.
I have no idea what happened.
"Hey, what is that?"
“I don’t know.”
Just when they were puzzled, Lin Fan, who was carrying the locust tree demon, had already walked to the city gate. The locust tree was too tall, so he could only carry it on his shoulders and move forward. He passed by the two people who were standing there in a daze.
Lin Fan glanced around casually, kicked one man in the abdomen with his left leg, and slapped another man in the face with his right palm.
Bang! Bang! The two of them slammed into the wall, which exploded instantly, raising a cloud of blood.
"What the hell, you're pretending to be stupid in front of me, trying to escape my eyes." Lin Fan was very disdainful, and then said: "Locust tree monster, see, only revenge can get out of the dilemma in your heart. Imprisoning yourself in a small world is the behavior of the weak. Your heart is wailing, and their hearts are crying too."
Walk into the city gate.
"Miao Miao, close the door."
Mao Miaomiao quickly closed the city gate. Lin Fan pointed and a Taoist spirit emerged from the Ten Thousand People Umbrella. "Guard the gate for me. Don't let even a fly out."
The Taoist spirit that appeared attached itself to the city gate.
Unless a practitioner at the second level of Qi Refining takes action, there is no way of opening the door.
He was never afraid of being wanted because he had never seen a wanted poster on the wall at the city gate, because only by posting it could it serve as a warning and let those evil people know that there is a Taoist priest named Xuan Dian in the world who will really kill you.
At this time, the people on the street looked at the stranger carrying the locust tree. The other party was too tall, looked too ferocious, and the aura he exuded was too terrifying.
But their hearts are like stagnant water and will not be disturbed by this.
Lin Fan also looked at the people around him. They were dressed in rags, like beggars, with words branded on the back of their hands. Looking at them one by one, the words were all different.
'Wear'
'horse'
'List'
…
He stopped a commoner and asked, "You, and what do the words on the back of their hands mean?"
The people who were stopped were afraid and did not dare to answer. They wanted to leave, but Lin Fan's hands were pressing on their shoulders and they could not move. He could see that this group of people seemed to have been living in endless fear.
There was a pleading look in the eyes of this commoner as he looked at Lin Fan.
Hope to let him go.
Lin Fan's eyes flashed with a mysterious light, and he activated the soul-stealing technique, swallowing up the opponent's soul. A series of images appeared in his mind.
Although these images are frozen.
But with his strong ability to understand, he understood the situation.
There are dozens of evil families in Jinghe County. These evil families are the culprits who destroyed the village. They took root and developed here, ruthlessly and bloodily suppressed the local people, squeezed out all the value from them, and enriched their own lives.
On one hand, they are living in poverty, and on the other hand, they enjoy delicious food and fish.
而这手背上的字，代表着这些百姓属于哪家管理，如同奴隶一般，所创造的财富大部分都被他们掠夺。
曾经有百姓们不甘如此，想要密谋反抗，但被人出卖，从而被杀的干干净净，尸体悬挂菜市口，威慑众人。
得知一切，他将魂魄放出回到对方体内，搀扶着，直到对方回过神后，才缓缓松开手。
“放心，别怕，老子来了，你们所害怕的八十八家恶户，今日之后，都将烟消云散，从此不会存在。”
说完，扛着槐树妖朝着前方走去。
被摄魂的百姓呆呆望着那远去的背影，久久未能回神。
脑海里浮现的是刚刚对方所说的话。
但他有些不懂。
对方这话说的到底是什么意思？当回过神的那一刻，那位扛着槐树的壮硕大汉已经消失在视线里。
菜市口。
百姓们在吆喝着，卖力推销着产品，希望能将东西卖出去，换取微薄的钱财，随着林凡的出现，现场百姓们惊愣。
紧接着，就有收到惊吓的百姓们收起摊子，连忙逃离。
他们最怕出现在菜市口的林凡是八十八家恶户之一。
原本喧闹的菜市口安静了，满地狼藉，到处洒落着蔬菜。
不过，现场还有一位百姓，那是一位妇女，手里握着一根竹子，单手整理着面前铺在地面的蔬菜，眼睛看不见，只有耳朵能听到周围惊慌的吵闹声。
她不知发生了什么事情，但觉得肯定没什么好事发生。
扛着槐树妖的他走到妇女面前，蹲下，注意着树梢，以防打到妇女。
“别怕，莫慌。”林凡帮忙收拾着，注意到妇女的手背有字，突然，一道稚嫩的声音传来。
“娘。”
林凡起身，看向声音来源，就见一位脏兮兮拿着破风筝的孩童，猛地将风筝扔到地上，然后嗷嗷的朝着林凡冲来。
“不准欺负我娘。”
孩童也就六七岁，身高也就到正常人的腰部而已，但在林凡面前，可能也就膝盖高吧。
孩童很害怕，从未见过如此高大威猛的人，但还是很勇敢的冲到林凡面前，举起小小的拳头捶打着林凡的膝盖。
力道不错，还蛮舒服的。
“娃儿。”瞎眼妇人不知何事，听到自家孩子声音的时候，她内心是紧张的。
孩童来到母亲面前，张开双臂，害怕而又勇敢的跟林凡对视着。
“呵呵。”林凡咧嘴微笑，“小娃娃，你看老子像是坏人吗？”
一开口就吓得孩童脸色煞白，四肢哆嗦厉害。
妇人求饶着，“孩子还小，放过他吧，要打要骂冲着我来就好。”
“别怕，老子不是坏人，这次过来便是来解决祸害此地的八十八家恶户。”林凡说着，然后看向两女，意思很明确，老子的模样太有威慑性，你们来解决吧。
随后，他走到菜市口的中心位置，双手握着槐树妖，将其放到地面，在触碰到地面的那一刻，树根疯狂生长，朝着地底涌去。
“感受到没有，你的仇人就生活在这里。”林凡说道。
槐树妖很激动，树叶哗啦啦响彻，枝条在扭动着，无边的愤怒从深处爆发出来，可却有一种深深的无力感，修为太弱，哪怕得知在此，也无能为力。
“魔，我什么都做不了。”
又是魔的称呼。
真是让人糟糕的称呼，但他明白，槐树妖不是故意的，只是稍微对他有点不了解而已。
“槐树妖，魔的称呼并不适合老子，你可以称呼游侠，大侠，亦或者是玄颠道长，明白吗？”
他极力的稳住声音所透露出的情绪，温和，友善。
但刻意的伪装，总是会将想表现的情感，变得扭曲。
感受到仇人的槐树妖显得暴躁，显然没有感受到道长的语气实则是有些不太满意的。
“我什么都做不了啊。”
无助与不甘。
“不，你能做的了，有老子在，你什么都能做，现在就好好借助老子的力量，有仇报仇，有怨报怨吧。”
话音刚落，林凡双手抓住槐树妖。
体内种种可怕的气息疯狂涌入到槐树妖的体内，在这股气息的加持下，槐树妖似乎被注入无穷的力量般。
扎根在地底的根系在膨胀着，生长着，地面震动，凸起一片又一片，似地龙在翻滚着。
“吸收，狠狠地吸收，承受住老子的力量，答应过你的事情就不会食言，说让你亲自动手，便亲自动手，记住不该杀的人不要碰，你……不是恶妖。”
随着最后一声的怒吼，无尽的紫色道气将槐树妖撑的快要爆裂开。
放出万民伞的道灵，让那些道灵随着槐树妖的根系而去。
此刻的荆河县如魔域般的恐怖。
百姓们躲避家中不敢露头，不知发生了何事。
如果有人在地底就会发现，有无数汹涌的根系击穿泥土，朝着四面八方蔓延着。
陈府，从戴府回来的陈老头来到客厅，立马就有奴仆端茶倒水前来服侍。
陈老头的心情很凝重。
戴羽说的那些话，他牢记在心，就是在敲打他们。
“爹，那戴羽怎么说的？”一位男子走进来。
他就是陈老头的儿子。
“还能怎么说，就是敲打我们这些老兄弟，曾经那些老兄弟老的老，死的死，他戴羽给后辈铺路，还想着压着咱们。”
“爹，我已经托人给皇城韩显贵送礼，想着在荆河县弄个监察司，到时候我当首领，手里再……”
话还没说完，就觉得地面在震动。
“怎么回事？”
父子两人惊讶，砰的一声，脚下的地砖碎裂，树条从地底窜出，如同一条条灵活的蟒蛇似的，瞬间将两人捆绑起来。
陈老头挣扎着，可是被捆绑的太严实，无法动弹。
他瞪眼，不知这些树条是从哪里来的。
但很快，他的视线里出现画面，只是他对这画面的村庄很陌生，不是他的记忆里不好，而是年轻的时候，跟随着戴羽灭的村庄太多。
哪里记得这是哪？“别杀我，都是戴羽带我们干的，要杀就杀他啊。”陈老头喊叫着，就在他准备继续开口的时候，那树条如触手从他的口中涌入到体内。
“额额额……”
陈老头发出痛苦的低沉声。
槐树妖没给他们任何机会，密密麻麻的枝条从他体内刺破身躯，将其扎成刺猬。
这一刻，陈家到处都是哀嚎惨叫声。
唯独那些被吓傻的奴仆们瘫坐在地，没有受到任何伤害，但早已经被所发生的一切给吓得大脑一片空白。
陈家的情况不是唯一。
全城八十八家的恶户们，都面临了这样的事情，他们从戴府回来，屁股还没坐热，脚下的地面突然裂开，窜出密密麻麻的树条，封锁了他们的去路。
别看他们年轻的时候，能舞刀弄枪，但现在他们已经年迈，莫说提刀，就算多跑点路程都能气喘吁吁。
府内有养的护卫，可是在被玄颠加持过的槐树妖面前，完全不值一提。
戴府。
戴羽在花园里闲逛着，看着花花草草，身边跟随着七八岁的男孩，这是他的孙儿，现在的生活让他颇为满意。
此时，不远处的地面裂开，无数枝条从地面涌出，似一条条毒蛇在地面爬行着。
戴羽仿佛感受到什么一样，朝着不远处看去。
看了几眼并未发现有任何动静。
就在他回过头的瞬息间，戴羽拎着孙儿朝着练武场跑去，边跑边喊，紧接着，大量护卫涌出，不知老爷遇到什么事情。
来到演武场的戴羽抓起武器架上的兵器，紧紧握在手中，目光有神的盯着。
他时刻保持着警惕，但凡让他觉得有不对劲，就不会怀疑犹豫，而是将其当做真正的有问题。
这是他的警惕，也是他一直以来活到现在的原因。
“谁，出来。”戴羽怒声吼道。
护卫们拔出明晃晃的刀，形成保护圈。
大量的枝条从入口处涌出，扒拉着墙壁，延伸着，将所有的墙壁覆盖，此等情况已经吓坏了在场的护卫们。
他们何时见过这样的情况。
忍不住的向后退了半步。
同时看向戴老爷。
“怕什么？今日只要灭了这妖，所有人得金锭百两。”
有钱能让鬼推磨，也能让人卖命。
此话一出，护卫们就跟打了鸡血似的，一个个都不怕了。
6◇9◇书◇吧
砰！地面裂开，粗壮灵活的枝条席卷而出，护卫们挥刀砍去，不断有护卫被击飞，有的被枝条缠绕着，身躯被撕碎。
惨叫声不断。
干劲的地面染着血，到处都是残肢断臂与内脏器官。
戴羽活到现在何曾怕过什么。
但现在，他的手在颤，他真的怕了。
片刻后，现场仅有戴羽与他孙子。
“你是什么人？戴某何曾招惹过你。”戴羽询问道，至少在他的印象里，就从未跟妖魔鬼怪有过任何的矛盾。
如今出现的必然是妖，只是这妖为何要对他动手。
“清水村。”
低沉愤怒的声音传来，一道虚幻的身影出现，老妪红着眼死死盯着戴羽。
清水村？戴羽疯狂回想着，但真没有回想到有关的内容，太陌生，完全没有记忆。
“你想的起来吗？”老妪吼道。
戴羽道：“想不起来，也记不起来，戴某从未与妖族有过任何矛盾，咱们之间是否有什么误会，如果有误会不妨直说出来，戴某必然改正。”
“哈哈哈……”老妪笑着，双眼流着血水，“记不住来了啊，那现在呢。”
有画面出现。
戴羽看到骑在马上的汉子时，表情微变，那是他年轻时的模样，他带着兄弟们正在屠戮村庄，从老到小，没有放过一个。
陡然，他被村口的那槐树吸引。
“你是那槐树？”
“没错，就是那槐树。”
戴羽道：“你身为妖，却想着给那群村民报仇？”
他不懂。
妖给人报仇，这是什么情况，完全看不懂。
如果当初知道那槐树成精，肯定一把火将槐树烧的干干净净，如何给她报仇的机会。
“安宁祥和的村子，被你们给灭了，该死，你该死。”老妪暴动着，来自林凡的气息彻底沸腾。
感受到恐怖气息的戴羽连连后退，脸色一凝，“等等，我儿已经跟郑家联姻，你如果敢对我动手，郑家是不会放过你的。”
槐树妖没有犹豫，直接出手，枝条铺天盖地的袭去，戴羽挥刀抵挡，好端端的刀刃眨眼间便布满缺口。
槐树妖没有让他死的痛快，而是将他折磨的浑身是伤痕，枝条刺穿他的腿，刺穿他的手臂。
戴羽狂吼着，咆哮着。
身体越发虚弱，连握着刀的力气都没有。
戴羽知道自己活不了，单膝跪地，以刀撑着地，开心老妪，“我死没事，放过我的孙子。”
说完，他以刀抹向脖子，脖子出现血痕。
“血债血还，放过我孙。”
话落。
戴羽垂下脑袋，悄无声息，一动不动。
老妪看向站在那里的孩童，孩童没有哭，没有闹，只是脸色有些白而已。
此时那些挪动的枝条对准孩童，久久没有落下，老妪的心在挣扎着，看到这孩童的时候，她想到了曾经村中的孩子们。
“你在犹豫什么？”一道声音传来。
老妪回头，就见玄颠道长站在围墙上，双臂怀抱的望着。
“不忍心吗？”林凡问道，在功德之眼的观察下，孩童头顶浮现0.1，而且周身的怨魂不在少数，明显也是心狠手辣的主。
年纪轻轻，就有点武道实力。
功夫是磨练出来的。
心性是杀出来的。
林凡从围墙上跳下落地，一步步走到孩童面前，面对如此庞大身躯与凶戾眼神的孩童忍不住的后退一步，眼里浮现出恐慌之色。
林凡弯腰，面对面盯着孩童，咧嘴发出低沉的笑声。
“小子，老子从你眼神里看到了不属于孩童的凶残，你是不是杀过很多人？”
炙热的雾气喷吐在孩童脸上。
孩童摇着头，“没，没有。”
“是吗？但老子可从未看错过任何人，你能不能跟老子说说，当时第一次杀人的时候，你是什么感觉，又是什么想法，是不是觉得很兴奋，很激动？”林凡问道。
“没有，我还是个孩子。”孩童害怕道。
“槐树妖你的修行还不够啊，灭掉村庄的人，双手沾满血液，用无辜百姓的东西换来身份地位，又将全城的百姓当做奴隶，压榨他们的价值，将得到的东西用来培养自己的后代，而你明明身怀仇恨，为何会犹豫呢？”双手怀抱，弯腰的他扭过头看向老妪。
就在老妪要开口的那一刻。
铿锵一声。
一柄匕首从孩童袖里落到掌中，横抹林凡的脖子，在匕首接触到颈脖的那一刻，孩童眼里浮现疯狂之色。
只是接下来的一幕，却让孩童彻底傻眼了。
明明锋利的匕首，却连皮都没有划破。
“哈哈哈哈……”林凡挺直身躯，昂着脑袋大笑着，笑声透露着亢奋与激动，“看到没有，你的仁慈蒙蔽了你的双眼啊，慈悲不是用在这些人身上的，你的肉眼是平凡的，无法看透，所以你唯一能做的就是斩草除根。”
老妪望着玄颠道长，她发现道长的表情好狰狞，眼里浮现着邪光，所说的话似有一种魔力似的，不断冲击着她的心灵。
啪嗒！
笑声停止，林凡伸手笼罩住对方的脑袋，将其提起来。
孩童双手胡乱挥动着，挣扎着，踢着腿，但太短小，完全够不着。
噗嗤！
捏爆脑袋，无头的尸体落到地面。
甩掉沾在手上的血迹，转身走到槐树妖面前，“如果不是老子脖子够硬，刚刚你的仁慈便害了助你报仇的老子。”
说完，他离开此地，至于后面的槐树妖是否能想明白，这已经不重要了。
她所做的，那都是她该做的。
八十八家的恶户，哪怕有了身份地位，也从未做过一件好事。
老妪呆愣在原地，片刻后，虚幻的身影消散，似乎明了，狂暴的枝条彻底暴动，开始清理着现场。
林凡回到菜市口，站在槐树本体前，伸出手掌贴着，感受着传递回来的信息，不知多久，流淌在槐树妖体内的气息逐渐平息。
他将紫色道气吸收回来，槐树妖的本体逐渐恢复，当恢复到原样的时候，表面出现不少的裂纹。
这就是报仇的代价。
槐树妖脆弱的身躯如何能容得下如此纯正的浩然道气。
“是不是舒爽许多？”林凡问道。
“谢谢道长。”槐树妖感激道，的确放下了很多。
林凡笑着，肉身恢复到原本模样，凶戾的气息消散，逐渐柔和。
槐树妖感受到道长气息变化。
心里有很多话想说。
但一时间竟然不知该说些什么。
“小灰鼠。”
“道长，我在。”
林凡笑着道：“你跟随在贫道身边修行，贫道自然不能不让你进步，此地八十八家恶户死绝，尸体都在各自的府邸，你去吸了他们的精气神，算是开启修行的第一步。”
“啊？”灰鼠妖愣神。
“还不快点，那些道灵可是已经在吸食了，他们可是会跟你抢夺的。”
听闻此话，灰鼠妖想都没想，拔腿就跑，前去吸食。
身为妖的他，知道吸食精气神是能够加快修行的，但从未杀过生的他，还从未感受过那味道到底如何。
如今得到道长的许可。
怎么能不去好好的尝试一下。
此时的街道依旧冷冷清清，那对母子经过两女的解释，情绪很稳定。
林凡调动法力，开口道：“父老乡亲们，贫道玄颠，作乱荆河县的八十八恶户，皆已经伏诛，往后你们安全了，无需担心受到压迫，出来吧，都出来吧。”
声音蕴含着法力，浩浩荡荡的扩散出去，在城内传递着。
全城的百姓们都听到了。
那些观察到城内异象的百姓们，老老实实躲在屋内，如今听到这番话，他们面面相觑，也不知真假，毕竟在他们看来，这话未免也太不可思议了吧。
某家客栈。
一群百姓缩在那里，他们刚刚可是亲眼看到，街道地面鼓起，有粗壮的东西在地底翻滚着，就跟地龙似的。
现在听到这话，他们也不知该不该信。
“你们说这是真是假啊。”
“应该……我也不知道。”
咯吱。
客栈的门开了，众人齐刷刷的看去，一位男子打开门，回头看向众人，“是真是假，一看便知，这样的生活咱们要忍到什么时候，咱们就真的要一辈子成为那八十八家的奴隶吗？”
“全城百姓辛辛苦苦的付出所得到的微薄收获，都要被他们分走一大半。”
“不就是死嘛，我去看。”
说完，走出，关门。
客栈的百姓们对视着。
哪怕话都说到这份上，还是没人鼓起勇气跟随着一起去查看。
不知多久。
街道传来亢奋的欢呼声，“死了，马家的人全死了，那位玄颠道长说的是真的，全都死了，真的全都死了。”
“哈哈哈哈……”
跑着，跑着，男子跪在街道，张开双臂，仰望天空，撕心裂肺的吼道：“真的都死了！！！”
喜悦的声音冲天而起，在空中炸响。
啪！啪！啪！一扇又一扇屋门推开，百姓们从屋内走出来。
他们小心翼翼的张望着，卑微而渺茫，但渐渐的，远方传来了阵阵亢奋的欢呼声，好像都在说谁家都死了的时候。
他们缓缓挺直腰杆，胆子大了起来，没有了先前那般的恐惧。
菜市口。
林凡上空弥漫着紫气道云，随后将村中的残魂放出，“贫道超度他们离去吧，你再好好的看看他们，以残魂留在世间，对他们而言，是一种折磨。”
槐树妖没有说话，明明没风。
树叶却响动着。
林凡施展水火炼度极乐登天法，残魂们被微光包裹着，升到空中，逐渐消散，彻底的消失在世间。
这一刻，他们在世间的痕迹彻底消散。
除了槐树妖记得他们，没有人能够记得他们。
"What are your plans for the future? Actually, I have an idea. You have opened your spiritual intelligence with human popularity, so why not settle down here?" Lin Fan said.
"It's all up to the Taoist priest's orders."
"That's good. I will explain the origin of this place to the people here."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest."
Afterwards, Lin Fan looked at the people around him. They gathered here, and their eyes fell on Lin Fan.
"My fellow villagers, this locust tree has become a spirit and will take root here from now on. You don't need to worry. It will protect you and keep you away from disasters. Do you want it to stay here?" Lin Fan said.
The people were discussing among themselves.
Although I know there are monsters in the world, I have never seen one.
It’s normal to be surprised when you see it for the first time.
"Master, we have all seen people who are scarier than monsters. What do we have to be afraid of monsters that can protect us? I am willing."
yes.
The people understand.
We have seen things that are thousands of times more terrifying than monsters. What else is there to be afraid of?
"willing."
"willing."
The people shouted.
Suddenly.
"Amitabha, why is there such a strong smell of blood here? Who has committed such a sin of killing? Today, I, Jiekong, will slay the demons and eliminate the evil."
A golden figure appeared.
He was wearing a golden robe and holding a golden staff.
Who else could this be except emptiness?
"It's you." Jie Kong recognized Lin Fan the first time he saw him. "Master Xuan Dian, why is it that wherever you are, there is a river of blood? I told you that you have a strong demonic nature, why don't you believe me?"
He walked up to Lin Fan, shook his head and sighed.
"Amitabha, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right away. Taoist Xuandian, please don't disobey my words."
Lin Fan looked at the other party, wow, he got the golden staff again.
As expected, he is a member of the Zheng family.
Financial resources mean abundance.
Lin Fan looked around.
Hu Daji left without making a sound. When she came back, she was already holding a long bench in her hand. She walked up to the Taoist priest and said, "Master, here you go."
Seeing the bench, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Daji really understands me."
Miaomiao, the cat who was watching the show foolishly, saw her sister find a bench for the Taoist priest. She suddenly realized what was going on and then felt extremely regretful.
Damn it.
Opportunities really come to those who are prepared.
At this moment, Jiekong's expression changed slightly, as if a damn memory was impacting his brain, but even so, he still did not retreat, but looked directly at Lin Fan.
"What do you want to say, you little bald guy?" Lin Fan asked.
Jiekong pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Master Xuandian, please don't commit murder. Giving others a chance is giving yourself a chance. Maybe those people have done many evil things, but..."
Bang! Before he could finish his words, Lin Fan swung the bench and smashed it towards Jie Kong's body, "Fuck you, I'm in a good mood, where did you come from?"
Jiekong, who was knocked to the ground, held the staff tightly and shouted, "Master Xuandian, this is because you are too evil. I just said a few words to you, and you couldn't wait to hit me with the stool. You... Ouch."
Lin Fan swung the bench and hit Jiekong with it.
He really didn't know where this guy came from.
The opening remarks were either about putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha immediately, or about being too evil, which really pissed me off.
The people around looked on blankly.
What's going on?
In their minds, the Taoist priest in front of them was very gentle. How could he suddenly pick up a bench and beat a monk who looked like a master to the ground? Fox Daji said: "Fellow villagers, this bald donkey wanted our Taoist priest to give the 88 evil families a chance to reform, so we Taoist priests cannot tolerate it."
As soon as these words came out.
The people suddenly realized what was going on, and at the same time looked at the bald donkey angrily and shouted.
"Master, beat him up hard."
