Aggrieved Fish Sprite

"What happened?"

The smell of blood is very strong, definitely more than one person died.

Mo Li found that there were marks left by swords on the walls of nearby houses, rotten vegetable leaves and some blood-stained stones on the ground.

Meng Qi suddenly said: "There are people here."

As he spoke, he walked to a house with damaged doors and windows, and opened a pile of debris, and there was a person dressed as a servant lying inside.

Mo Li went over to take a look and found that the man was covered in shoe prints and there was blood around his mouth.

"He was hit several times, his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were seriously injured." Mo Li directly poured a spirit energy into this man, and the latter's eyelids moved, followed by coughing up blood again and again.

Meng Qi doesn't know medical skills, but anyone who knows martial arts knows some ways to treat trauma and internal injuries. Looking at the appearance of this young man, it's obvious that he can't do it.

"Who are you, why are you here, what happened to Qinghu Town?"

The ink carp lost another burst of spiritual energy to relieve the opponent's pain.

The boy's face was pale and trembling, and suddenly tears filled his face.

Death is a very mysterious state. Sometimes even if the doctor doesn't say it, I can feel that it is coming.

Nobody wants to die.

The little servant burst into tears, affecting the injury, and the pain made his eyes black.

"...I don't want to come...I even said I can't come..."

He repeated these two sentences over and over again, full of remorse and resentment.

Mo Li winked at Meng Qi, who understood and went to Ziwei Xingjun Temple to check the situation.

At this moment, the boy finally came back to his senses. He grabbed Mo Li's hand and said firmly, "You are not from Qinghu Town!"

Mo Li nodded, and then he heard the little servant talking about what happened just now.

Qinghu Town used to be very lively, it was the largest town nearby, there were many shops, and the people in the town were also very wealthy, but the good times didn't last long. Ten years ago, the government imposed heavy taxes on the merchants here.The businessman found it unprofitable, so he left slowly, leaving only some old shops that his ancestors had lived in Qinghu Town for generations still operating.

Because the tax is too heavy, the things sold in Qinghu Town are always more expensive than other places.

Over time, resentment arises.

The boy couldn't figure it out, it was the government that levied heavy taxes, everyone knew this, and they all watched Qinghu Town decline slowly, why did the townspeople hate them as well as the merchants?Shouldn't things have a source?Why don't these people tell the reason, only see the overcharged money in the shop, but don't think about the whereabouts of the money?

The shopkeeper often sighed, saying that with a new Pingzhou governor, life might be better.

However, they can never wait for the day when things get better.

Two years ago, people from the Holy Lotus Altar came to preach. At first, they just said some gods and gods, and gave some small favors to the townspeople.Suddenly one day, he led the townspeople to smash up all the shops in a street and looted all the goods.

"...the shopkeeper died, so I escaped by luck." The boy said tearfully, "They didn't think it was enough to kill people, so they went to the shopkeeper's house and killed their whole family. Looking for ill-gotten wealth. The shopkeeper has been kind to others all his life, and he has to give alms to beggars. Although there is some surplus money in the family, it was saved by the ancestors in Kaibuzhuang, Qinghu Town. Since the government raised taxes, the goods are expensive. I paid ten copper coins, but the extra tax for a piece of cloth is more than ten coins...the income is much less than before. If it wasn't for the ancestral property, I would have given up this business a long time ago. I didn't expect...I went to the county to report to the official , No one paid attention to it, and then I tried my best to inquire, and only then did an officer of the county government tell me that the incense masters of the holy lotus altar here are very powerful in martial arts, and they can't come to die..."

After he said this long series of words, he was exhausted.

At this time Meng Qi came back and said to Mo Li: "A group of Jiang Hu people entered Qinghu Town to punish rape and eliminate evil, but their strength was weak, and most of them were killed or injured. The people who are still alive are tied up in Ziwei Xingjun Temple Before. The Holy Lotus Altar gathered all the people in the town and prepared to burn them there."

Hearing this, the servant struggled to get up, and Mo Li hurriedly held him down.

"They are not heroes..." the boy gasped and said bitterly, "They don't know where they heard about Qinghu Town... they found me and said they wanted to avenge the shopkeeper...and forced me to come here , don’t listen to what I say at all.”

Thinking that he was about to die, the boy couldn't care less and continued to scold him.

It's just that his voice was getting lower and lower, and seeing that he couldn't catch his breath, black blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was twitching.

The ink carp lowered its eyes, and the palm covering the boy's back slightly trembled.

The boy fell silent immediately.

Mo Li took a broken reed mat from the sundries and covered his body.

The ink carp slowly straightened up, the wind passed through the broken doors and windows, and the room was filled with chills.

"...This is the way of the world today, doctor."

Meng Qi stood behind Mo Li, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes, and a sarcastic smile on his lips, "People who want to live can't live, except for those who make trouble, and there are foolish people who blindly vent their anger, who want to uphold justice but have no brains The hero. Even if the entire Qinghu Town is wiped out, so what, if you want to solve it completely, you can only change the world."

Doctor Mo was silent for a while, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "So you are going to assist Li Yuanze to calm the world and create a prosperous world?"

Meng Qi was stunned when he heard the words, he began to be in a trance, and there seemed to be a rumbling voice in his head.

"Only the people have no worries, the way of the road, and the world is the public, that is the foundation of a prosperous age..."

Who did he say that to?

The face of that person was blurred, but he stood in front of him, and there seemed to be many people around him.

They stood side by side, with the man, and drank to the rising sun.

"Swear to town the frontiers, calm down Xiliang, destroy pirates, eliminate treacherous evil, and restore the world to a bright future!"

"I would like to establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations!"

Meng Qi trembled uncontrollably, his eyes darkened, and he couldn't stand upright, holding onto the wall with one hand.

The fingers were too hard, and they were deeply embedded in the masonry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Li quickly grabbed Meng Qi's wrist, but the latter did not refuse, allowing Mo Li to input spiritual power to adjust the messy internal energy.

Mo Li said that sentence just out of feeling, and he wanted to understand something, but he didn't expect to trigger Meng Qi's illness.

Meng Qi's eyes were red and his mind was broken.

It's just that this time he didn't yell and kill, but muttered something in a low voice.

Doctor Mo leaned closer to listen.

"...'The old and the old and the old, the young and the young and the young of the people, the world can be transported in the palm of your hand'. It's really ridiculous. You are born as human beings. It is a book written by your sages themselves. I believe what they say , to share with you, but in the end, it was nothing but nothing.

"Why should a king talk about profit, there is also benevolence and righteousness... What irony, to establish the imperial power for ten years, rule the world for 15 years, and then have a prosperous world for 15 years, and the world will be peaceful. Li Yuanze only sees the interests of his family and his family, and forgets what he is doing." For benevolence and righteousness.

"If you want to rule the world, in today's world, who else can I have? Haha, who can I have?"

Meng Qi's brows were full of hostility, and his unrestrained breath was like a huge wave in the boundless sea. Mo Li's hand was shaken away abruptly, but fortunately he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed it again.

Only then did Meng Qi "see" the ink carp.

He slowly withdrew his palm that had been stuck into the wall, and the internal force flowing out from his fingertips destroyed a layer of masonry.

"Meng Qi!"

Mo Li tried to wake up the person in front of him, but he couldn't take the Ningshen Pill, so he could only cling to him.

Meng Qi didn't intend to break free, he was in a trance for a long time, his internal breath became more and more disordered, the ink carp was about to be unable to hold him down, and when he was sweating profusely, he suddenly heard Meng Qi whisper:

"I failed to kill him..."

"Meng Qi?"

"... Li Yuanze lied to me. As soon as I left Taijing, he took the opportunity to attack. Jingyuan Hou left me a letter. If the king dies, what will happen to the Chu Dynasty? What will the world do? One only attacks the old officials, Can an emperor who has not changed in the others still be regarded as the wise king of the people? They said, forget it.”

Meng Qi laughed out loud, the laughter was distorted, and the wall broke when he raised his hand.

Mo Li's mind was shaken, he knew what happened later, Qin Lu made it clear when he taught him to read history.

Emperor Chu and Yuan treated the people generously and implemented benevolent policies repeatedly during his 30-year reign.It was originally an anecdote about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. However, when Emperor Chu Yuan was old, he suddenly became obsessed. He was afraid that his power would fall to his side after death, and he killed three princes and nine princes in succession.

After the death of Emperor Chu Yuan, the succeeding Emperor Ling of Chu couldn't suppress the ministers at all, so he promoted young ministers arbitrarily to fight against the original courtiers in the court.

The young courtiers are inexperienced and immature in handling things, so they can only rely on the emperor's partial help.

The more they fight, the more alienated the monarch and his ministers become. Among the young courtiers, there are certainly those who are loyal to the emperor, but more of them are ambitious and greedy villains.

In the end, the fierce struggle between the two factions produced bitter fruit. Emperor Ling of Chu trusted a person who shouldn't be trusted, and continued to give him military power, and promoted him to fight against the old line of Jingyuanhou, that is, the general Lu Zhang.

In a palace change, the corpses of the clan of the Chu Dynasty were scattered all over the place, and the courtiers who refused to surrender were also beheaded, killing Taijing until blood flowed into rivers.

The Qi Dynasty was established on behalf of Chu, and the wealthy families and officials were superficially obedient, but in fact they were obedient and obedient; the three kings of the Chu Dynasty, whose fiefdoms were in the south, set up their own banners to crusade against Lu Zhang, but they did not want to restore the country, but only fought for the name of orthodoxy.

The scene of the prosperous age is gone in a blink of an eye.

"My first mistake was that I didn't kill Li Yuanze, and my second mistake was that I left in a hurry and didn't stay in the court..."

"It's useless for you to kill him. Li Yuanze has already done it! It's useless for you to stay. People's hearts are hard to control. How can one more person or one less person change it?"

Although Mo Li felt that if he was Meng Qi, he would not be able to let go, and was even worse than Meng Qi, but now that Meng Qi's situation was not right, he could only put on a gesture and scold him, hoping that he would wake up.

However, the effect was minimal. Doctor Mo's arm went numb, and he took three steps back. When he stabilized his figure, he could only see Meng Qi's back.

"boom!"

The well at the intersection of the street was destroyed, and water gushed out.

Meng Qi didn't know the direction, and smashed several potholes along the ruins.

"Meng Qi!" Mo Li stopped in front of him, the latter paused, and then was sprayed straight by the water.

"..."

The drowned Meng Qi blinked: "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

Mo Li looked at the water flow that filled the pothole, and suddenly had an idea.

At this time, the incense master of the holy lotus altar was ordering his subordinates to collect firewood and pile it at the feet of those Jianghu people.

"You villains, you will die!" The young man was still scolding, his face covered with blood.

The companions around him were different, not to mention the fainted ones, but the sober ones sneered again and again.

"Luo Bin! In vain do you brag about how good your sword skills are, but you can't even match the Holy Lotus Altar Incense Lord?"

"The person who deceives the world and steals the name!"

The young man named Luo Bin was extremely annoyed when he heard the words, but when he thought that he was indeed defeated in one move, he couldn't help but wonder, is his martial arts really so common?Could it be that the Jianghu swordsmen he defeated before were all in vain?

The incense master of the Holy Lotus Altar was very disdainful when he heard these people scolding each other.He picked up Luo Bin's sword, took a closer look, and laughed darkly: "Jin Fengjian, it turned out to be the successor of the Qingcheng School's Jinjian veteran, it really is a narrow road to enemies."

Luo Bin was stunned, and then saw the mole on Xiangzhu's forehead.

The Holy Lotus Altar Incense Master looks like a white-faced niche, except for the birthmark-like mole on his forehead that is very abrupt.

"You, you are... the blue-faced ghost master of You Tu Clan!" Luo Bin blurted out in shock, "You Tu Clan has been destroyed for many years, so you are hiding here!"

The incense master directly threw the long sword aside, grabbed Luo Bin's hair, and said with a strange smile: "Yes, hide your name and join the holy lotus altar, and just be a small incense master in order not to attract attention. Did a chivalrous man like you come here in a hurry to die when he heard that he was just an incense master?"

After speaking, he slapped Luo Bin's dantian with his palm, and the latter vomited blood.

But Xiangzhu grabbed Luo Bin's wrist, and unscrupulously absorbed the broken internal force.

"You decent disciples from famous schools are really inferior to each other, and your foundations are very frivolous."

The incense master drained Luo Bin's internal strength and threw him on the firewood. As if it wasn't enough, he looked at other people.

The people who came with Luo Bin were all trembling, fearing that the devil would do something to them.

However, Xiangzhu looked down on them, turned around and walked up the steps, and said to the townspeople: "They kill people in the town, and they have to pay back ten times! Those who have had their limbs cut off, cut their limbs into ten sections with a knife, Those who have died can be dismembered. There is a real dragon under Ziwei Xingjun, and the dragon lives in the lake outside the town. This is the blessing of Qinghu Town!"

The townspeople immediately became excited. The Xiangzhu said that Qinghu Town is different.

Dragons belong to water, and water is the source of wealth. Qinghu Town was originally so rich, but it was the government and profiteers who ruined the fortune of this place!

"Kill them, burn them! Get rid of the evil spirits!"

Those townspeople whose families had "died of illness" screamed even louder, with hatred in their eyes.

Lord Xiang waved his hand leisurely, his voice was not high, but everyone could hear it: "Mr. Ziwei Xing is above, those who believe in dragons live, those who disobey dragons die..."

The ground suddenly trembled, he stopped talking vigilantly, and looked around.

The townspeople were excited, but they couldn't find it.

"Incense Lord?" the congregation of the Holy Lotus Altar asked suspiciously.

At this time, a burst of fly ash was raised not far away, mixed with the collapse of bricks and stones, as if someone was demolishing the house.

"What's going on?" Xiangzhu frowned and asked, he quickly thought of the two strange people who appeared in the morning.

Before the congregation of the Holy Lotus Altar had time to check the situation, they saw the whirlwind of flying sand and rocks traveling from east to west at an extremely fast speed, passing half a circle in the field of vision in a blink of an eye.

"My house!" At that moment, some townspeople screamed to go back.

There was a booming sound in my ears, as if there was a rushing water.

Xiangzhu's expression changed drastically, and he jumped up into the sky without saying a word, ready to flee for his life.

He was good at light work, and he reached the edge of the crowd in a blink of an eye. When building this temple, many houses were demolished, and many empty houses were requisitioned around, so that the townspeople could eat and live together.After the epidemic, they were allowed to go home separately. Now these houses are all gone, and the ground has sunk into potholes.

In the smoke and dust, someone vaguely slapped across the air, destroying the house and the ground like a rotten one.

Water gushes out of the pothole.

Xiangzhu didn't dare to look any more, and was about to flee for his life by stepping on the few remaining houses, but met Mo Li head-on.

"Go away!" The incense master was furious.

Mo Li didn't answer, the two of them exchanged palms hastily, Xiangzhu felt the blood surge in his chest, and flew out staggeringly.

There was a strange layer of blue on the ink carp's palm.

Xiangzhu was startled, who is this person, how could he have such profound internal strength?Seeing the strangeness in Mo Li's hands, he immediately laughed out loud, "I'm looking for death! I'll let you taste the bone-eroding poison!"

The ink carp shook his hand, and chased after him as if nothing had happened.

Xiangzhu was terrified, unable to understand what was going on, and hurriedly ran away with his internal injuries, and was caught up by Mo Li after a while.

He threw the hidden weapon, but was avoided by the ink carp.

He pulled out the poison-poisoned dagger and used his housekeeping skills, but within ten rounds, Mo Li twisted his wrist and fell heavily into the ruins.

Mo Li didn't give him another chance to struggle, and directly smashed Xiangzhu's dantian Qihai with his palm, disabling his martial arts.

Master Xiang paused, wrinkles suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked 20 years older.

Mo Li picked up the man and leaped to the roof, avoiding the area where Meng Qi demolished the house and destroyed the ground, and went straight to the front of the temple.

"boom."

Xiangzhu was thrown in front of the crowd, he vomited blood and didn't get up for a long time.

The congregation of the holy lotus altar and the townspeople were first frightened by the surrounding movement, and then saw that the incense master, who was blessed by the star king, was thrown back half dead. Even though they were angry, they couldn't help but retreat in the face of the ink carp falling from the sky step.

They can't leave even if they want to, because the temple is surrounded by potholes, the underground undercurrent has been dug out, and the water level has skyrocketed. Fly, otherwise there is no way to cross.

The townspeople were afraid, but Luo Bin and the others were overjoyed.

"Senior, help!"

"The holy lotus altar cares nothing about human life, and the townspeople here are bewitched by it, and they all deserve to die!"

Luo Bin struggled to get up, pointed at the Lord of Incense, and said with grief and indignation: "This person is a remnant of the Youtu Sect many years ago. He threw himself into the holy lotus altar and continued to harm the common people. "

"Where's the person you brought from Qinghu Town?" Mo Li interrupted him.

Luo Bin was stunned for a moment, looked at his companions, as if he just remembered that boy, and said angrily: "That boy must have run away because of the bad situation, I waited for him to avenge him with good intentions, but he didn't appreciate it! "

Mo Li looked at him steadfastly, and reminded calmly: "Did he tell you that the incense master of the holy lotus altar here is very powerful in martial arts, and the townspeople believe in him, so he can't just come in and die, at least he can't die." Want to investigate?"

Luo Bin and the others froze immediately, and it took a while for someone to say: "He is greedy for life and afraid of death...how can you believe what he says?"

"Then what about you now?" Mo Li didn't let them loose, just looked down and asked.

Luo Bin was already full of resentment because of his crippled martial arts, but now that Mo Li said this, as if the calamity was all his own fault, he suddenly lost his face.

"I am a direct disciple of the Jinjian Daoist sect of the Qingcheng School. I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to punish evil and eliminate violence. Who are you?"

Mo Li looked at him, thoughtful: "Since your martial arts have also been abolished, it's just right."

After speaking, Meng Qi, who also learned to go crazy, raised his palm and poured [-]% of his internal strength, and directly blasted a hole in front of the temple gate.Then he lifted Xiangzhu with one hand and Luo Bin with the other, loosened the ropes of the latter, and threw them all into the cave.

"Let's fight." Mo Li said lightly, as if he would let whoever wins go.

Xiangzhu was still thinking about the origin of the ink carp, but Luo Bin wanted to tear Xiangzhu apart, so he rushed forward with a roar.

Martial arts are abolished, but tricks can still be used.

The two wrestled into a ball, the pothole was narrow and covered in mud, and there was no image.

Mo Li turned to look at the townspeople, their eyes were full of hostility.

Suddenly, the congregation of the Holy Lotus Altar shouted Lord Ziwei Xing for protection, and rushed forward holding Luo Bin's sharp sword, and the townspeople immediately rushed forward with their swords and sticks.

These people are like this, even though they are a little bit afraid, but when they get together and a leader rushes over, they are not afraid of anything at once.It's not that they are not afraid of death, but that they don't believe that they will die at all, and that others can kill them all.

Since you will not die, of course it is someone else who will die.

Mo Li raised his hand and was about to throw them all away, but someone did it for him.

The congregation of the holy lotus altar and the townspeople fell to the ground in a haphazard manner, unable to breathe for a long time.

On the roof of the main hall of the Xingjun Temple stood a person, with long hair blowing in the wind, and a man with a radiant face, like a god.

"It's Ziwei Xingjun, it must be Xingjun!"

"Water is a dragon, and the real dragon is coming!"

Some other townspeople recognized this as the person who appeared in Qinghu Town with Mo Li in the morning, showing hesitation, and just wanted to stop the people around them from cheering——

"boom!"

Meng Qi stepped on the roof, demolished the beams, and pushed down the statue of Mr. Ziwei Xing directly.

"..."

There was a pause in the shouting, and the townspeople were terrified, as if a catastrophe was imminent in the next moment. Some people hugged their heads and howled continuously, and there were countless people who knelt and kowtowed to pray.

But nothing happened, the sky didn't turn dark, the ground didn't collapse, Xingjun didn't wrath and bring disaster.

Meng Qi kicked the statue again, and the statue rolled to the steps in front of the temple, and the townspeople dodged in shock.

"Whoever scolds and tramples on this Ziwei Xingjun once, I will let him go." Meng Qi said lazily, "Swear until you are satisfied, if I am not happy...you may not be afraid of death, I believe that after death you can You are blessed by Ziwei Xingjun, but I will let you die, just like your incense master."

Those Jianghu people who were tied up next to him were overjoyed when they heard the words, and were about to speak.

"By the way, you don't need to scold. You go to dig a grave outside the town. It must be deep enough, and the sides of the grave must be smooth enough. Then cut down a tree to make a coffin. No burrs are allowed. If anyone does not do well , that coffin and grave are his.”
