I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Li Yong came later than Cheng Jin imagined.

"A Cong didn't make roast chicken today, what brought you here?" Cheng Jin looked up at Li Yong and said casually.

Li Yong doesn't like to deal with stupid people, but if people are too smart, they're not that good. For example, now, even if he wants to pretend that nothing happened, it's a bit difficult: "It's really hard to hide anything. What about you, my lord?"

... No, that's obviously because you were too straightforward that day, even if he wanted to pretend to turn a blind eye, it would be very difficult for him.

"If it's an intercession, I advise you not to say that." Although he knew that the possibility was very low, Cheng Jin always preferred to put ugly words up front.

Li Yong's breath was suffocating, and he was a little depressed: "That's not the case. If I really want to save someone, I beg you to forgive me, wouldn't I owe you a favor."

Looking at the Jinhua cat, one can tell that the matter of repaying Cheng Yi'an's kindness can be called difficult.With this perseverance, he might as well rob the prison directly and come faster.

"Oh." Cheng County Magistrate responded flatly, and then said, "It seems that you don't like to repay favors very much."

Li Yong laughed and said: "Of course, no monster likes to repay a favor. A mortal saves a monster from the fire and water, but never asks the monster if he really needs this salvation, and don't you find out, my lord? Repay the favor, It will only push the demon into a bottomless abyss."

Cheng Jin stopped writing the official document, didn't he notice it?Of course he found out.

The monster's repayment is actually more like an insurance mechanism, which can prevent the monster from using the power of mortals to avoid catastrophe as much as possible.As mentioned above, the human race is the darling of the Dao of Heaven, because it is weak enough, so apart from the shackles of its own body, the Dao of Heaven has not imposed any karmic constraints on the human race.

On the contrary, there are many difficulties in the cultivation of the Yaozu, and there may even be a catastrophe. If they suffer from mortal karma, the difficulty will increase.Of course, in Cheng Jin's view, this is like high risk brings high income.

To some extent, humans and demons are in a very delicate balance.

"It seems that you don't dislike it, but hate repaying it."

The word hate has obvious emotional bias, but it is very appropriate to describe the mediocrity at the moment.

Li Yong himself didn't deny it: "That's right, but I don't hate ordinary people, because in the relationship of repaying favors, the people who are repaying favors are not lucky."

"Your words sound pessimistic."

The more bohemian and carefree a person looks on the outside, sometimes the more depressed they are in their hearts.Although Hei Lulu is autistic, his heart is firm, while Li Yong doesn't seem to be doing what he wants, but I'm afraid the ice in his heart is thicker than all the monsters Cheng Jin has ever seen.

"Don't you think so?" Li Yong looked out of the window. At this moment, the spring rain was still pattering down. Looking out from the carved window, he could only see a patch of dark clouds. The man went to drink, "Because I helped a demon casually, so I must become the object of the demon's gratitude. Humans and demons should not be married, but under the bondage of cause and effect, even if this person dies, the demon will follow him. Going to his next life, or the third and fourth lives, you can obviously live a better life, but because of a momentary kindness, you are forced to bear the demon's debt of gratitude, don't you think it is very unfortunate?"

After Cheng Jin listened, he glanced at the gloomy weather outside, sighed and said, "I thought you didn't drink today, so you can talk a little more rationally."

"Are you implying that this officer is very unfortunate?"

When Li Yong heard the words, he didn't deny it.

Looking at Li Yong like this, Cheng Jin suddenly felt that the monster really thinks too much. It is not good to live too long, or this itself is the test given to the monster by the way of heaven. Only with a firm mind and strong strength A demon will not lose himself in a long life.

Although this mechanism is cruel, Cheng Jin feels that it has a rationale for its existence. If you can't even keep your own heart, having strong power will only become a disaster.

"Li Yong, do you know that most of the unfortunate people will feel sorry for themselves, and even envy others why they are so lucky, have a beautiful family background, loving parents, loving brothers, sincere friends, extremely high talents, etc., with dark thoughts Some of them may even cross the bottom line of morality and want to plunder the lucky ones." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he folded his hands on his chest, "Do you think it is reasonable for them to do so?"

Li Yong was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "If the means are right, I think it's reasonable."

"What is plunder with legitimate means? I have never seen it before." Cheng Jin had gone astray before, but life taught him a lot later, "The unfortunate are very unfortunate, so what did the lucky do wrong? Is it because they were born with those things? But when God gave them these things, he didn't ask them if they wanted them. Li Yong, do you understand what I mean?"

Instead of resenting the injustice of fate and being unable to change the facts that have happened, it is better to focus on the present.

Cheng Jin also thought about why he had a strange power that ordinary people don't have. Because of this, he was abandoned, isolated, and excluded. If he didn't have this brute strength, he might be able to live an ordinary life. You will have friends, you will be adopted, and you don't have to worry about hurting others when you fight.

But there is no god in this world who can fulfill the wishes of mortals. It was only when he grew up that he gradually understood that only when a person becomes his own god can he defeat everything.

Li Yong was really surprised by these words, and also shocked by the seriousness in Mr. Cheng's eyes, because he could really feel the other party's emotions when he said these words.

There is resentment and resentment in it, which is very unfair to Cheng Yi'an, but Li Yong thinks that this kind of Mr. Cheng is more real.

Li Yong thought of something, and just about to speak, he suddenly froze. Is Cheng Yian's great strength inborn?If it was born, it would be too... Li Yong couldn't understand the ugliness of human nature.

If a person has only a little talent beyond ordinary people, it is called extraordinary talent.And if it exceeds too much, it will be regarded as a monster.

There was shock in Li Yong's pupils, and he could only lower his head to cover it up: "No wonder, Tao Zaizai asked me to talk to you, Mr. Cheng, you are really amazing."

Li Yong felt that he had been persuaded.

Although he doesn't like Buddhism, there is a saying in Buddhism that is true. All living beings are suffering. The misfortune you think may be the luck of others, and the luck of others in your eyes may be the source of other people's misfortune.

Li Yong is not stupid, he soon realized that Cheng Yian's words were refuting his theory of repaying kindness and misfortune.

"Master Cheng, are you interested in hearing a sad story?"

Li Yong's story is simple and simple, and it is not simple if it is not simple.

The fledgling little fox demon, Liyong, doesn't understand the dangers of the world, and was almost cheated to his death due to some reasons. Fortunately, a ranger helped him out of danger.Later, one person and one fox walked the rivers and lakes together. With the help of the ranger, the little fox demon also learned the ways of the world.

Just like cats now, Li Zaizai was very active in repaying favors back then but had nowhere to repay favors, so he could only follow wherever the Ranger was.

"No wonder Pan Xiaoan angered you so much, you didn't get angry at all."

Li Yong: "...I am very angry."

However, life is short, and rangers grow old soon.Of course Li Yong did not succeed in repaying his favor, but at that time Li Yong didn't know too much, he only promised the dying ranger that he would find the other's reincarnation as soon as possible.

However, without the relationship of the underworld, it is too difficult to find a person's reincarnation based on a trace of cause and effect.

Li Yong searched for a long time, so long that he became a big monster in his own right, only then did he find the reincarnation of Ranger.However, that was just a stranger with the same soul.

From temperament to habit, from occupation to temperament, there is no similarity at all.

Just like what Li Yong said to Pan Xiaoan, why should such a person have the Yu Ze of that person in his previous life?Li Yong is not reconciled.

"I've said it before, people and demons shouldn't get married."

Cheng Jin understood: "That's why you advised me to ask Pan Xiaoan to repay my favor as soon as possible, such as turning into a woman as my wife?"

"That's right, sir, don't you really think about it?"

...No, he would rather go to Hell 007.

Seeing Cheng Yi'an's expression, Li Yong shook his head regretfully: "Aren't you going to ask what happened afterwards?"

"You are still alive, and your mana is not weak, so it can be seen that you have crossed this hurdle."

Li Yong smiled, and finally said expressionlessly: "That's right, I succeeded in repaying my favor." But he didn't cross the hurdle in his heart.

"So, the reincarnation of your benefactor has something to do with Xuandi Temple?"

Li Yong put his hand on his chin and said, "Why do you think so?"

"You can just guess casually as the official."

"My lord's guess is very accurate. In fact, I don't hate him." Li Yong's voice sank obviously, "It was because my words and deeds were so clumsy at that time that in order to get rid of me, he would rather go to Emperor Xuan to contemplate and practice Taoism. You don't want to give me a chance to repay your favor."

This story sounds weird.

"But you still succeeded."

Li Yong nodded: "Yes, that's right, I got a chance to repay his kindness during one of his training sessions. At the same time, I also lost a very important thing."

"Don't your lord ask what it is?"

Cheng Jin: "If I ask you, will you tell me?"

Li Yong shook his head: "No, but adults can guess."

Cheng Jin refused very decisively.

"It's a pity, I still think that if my lord guesses correctly, I will tell my lord." Li Yong said regretfully.

Cheng Jin immediately said back: "It seems that what you lost is your face, I suggest you get it back as soon as possible."

"Then it depends on the adults, whether you will give me this chance."

Cheng Jin suddenly smiled: "Wang Chicheng is in the prison cell of the yamen. Whether you can see him or not is not up to me. Our prison boss in the Tangxi yamen is useless, but we don't give him a chance to visit the prison." Rights, but still have."

Li Yong: ...I was blind to the story I just told.
