Chapter 20: The Truth About Qu Ru (7)

Note: This article has two updates a day, occasionally three to four updates (mostly on weekends), and generally speaking, it will not be lower than this amount.

******************************************************************************

When everyone chased after him until they found that the demon was lying on the rock with his hands and feet. This time, he didn't know how much blood had shed, and he saw that he really couldn't live.

"You actually want to escape!" Although Linglong cursed viciously, it was the first time she saw this tragic situation. She felt a little reluctant and turned around and said, "Xiao Liuzi...you...d better give him some fun!"

The man stared at his eyes as big as a copper bell, and his pupils showed a faint green color, and he smiled bitterly: "You...you... don't need to be fake...false compassion. Now this is the case...I...I have a clear conscience. You guys...have done...what do...you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Minyan had already cut off his head with a sword and frowned and said, "I'm still quibbling when I'm going to die! You've made the people of Wangxian Town so miserable, and you still have a clear conscience!"

When Lu Yanran saw the monster's head bounced on the ground and landed under her feet, she was so scared that she almost jumped up and shouted: "Oh! Why... you... chopped his head!"

Ruoyu stepped forward and lifted the head, pulled out a square cloth to wrap it, and sighed, "It's just for him to have fun. Seeing him like this, maybe there's something hidden behind us that we don't know, forget it."

When everyone saw this attitude, they couldn't say anything. The good mood of winning a beautiful battle, but in the end, they became gloomy inexplicably, as if they had done something wrong.

*********************************************************************

There was nothing to say at the moment, and the six people flew back to Zhaojiazhuang with their swords. Although they told him before leaving that they didn’t have to worry and just sleep, who could sleep? They were all brightly lit and wait for them to come back.

As soon as Zhong Minyan landed, he put his head on the ground and said, "Uncle Zhao, fortunately, I have not been humiliated. We have captured the monster who caused trouble in Haiwan Mountain."

When the old and young people in Zhaojiazhuang heard that they caught the monster, they came out to see it cheerfully. When they saw the extremely bloody and ferocious head, they were all afraid and excited.

Zhong Minyan briefly explained the experience again, and finally said with a smile: "I finally killed this monster. The uncles and ladies can rest assured in the future. We will definitely come back and have a look when we have time."

Everyone sighed again, and finally buried the head in a place, saying that looking for a Taoist priest to post talismans to suppress evil is also a merit. The people here were harassed by Qu Ru for more than three months, and they were all unbearable. Now that the matter has finally been resolved, it can be considered a big stone in their hearts. He also heard that Zhong Minyan and the others were leaving the next day, so they didn't care about the hazy night. All the whole village started preparing for a banquet and rewarded a few young disciples. They made a fuss until noon the next day, and they gradually dispersed.

*********************************************************************

Zhong Minyan and the others were in good spirits. The three men were busy drinking and reminiscing about the past. Linglong and Lu Yanran were busy listening. Occasionally interrupting. Xuan Ji was busy leaning on Linglong and sleeping with a slight breath.

"Miss Lu said yesterday that there are monsters who will gather together. Are you taking this seriously?"

Ruoyu still remembers what Lu Yanran said, and she couldn't help asking questions.

Lu Yanran was pouring a glass of wine on her own. She drank a lot of wine that night, her face flushed. It was really a lotus face, with two willow-leaf eyebrows, and she was extremely charming. When Ruoyu asked, she smiled and said, "Actually, I can't say it, but once I heard from the island owner that there were demons in the wilderness, and they were all in groups, so I used the words to confuse him, but I didn't expect that I could really make it."

Yu Sifeng pondered for a while and said lightly: "There are many strange people in the Great Wilderness. Each country has its own customs. It may not be a demon, but it looks weird and not like an ordinary person."

Linglongqi said: "If you don't look like a human, why can you still be a human?"

Yu Sifeng smiled, "There are many strange stories in the world. Although people in many places don't look like humans, they are not monsters. They have their own customs and habits, which are similar to us."

Linglong changed color and said, "Then... we killed this time... aren't it...?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. If they were killed, they could still say that they could eliminate harm for the people. If they were killed, it would not be very pleasant. Especially Zhong Minyan, who cut off the man's head with his own hands. Thinking that he had chopped off his head, he wanted to throw his sword away.

"He did what he should kill, even if he was a human, he should kill him." A voice suddenly sounded next to him. Everyone turned their heads, but saw Xuan Ji woke up at some time, with a confused look on her face, and she said lightly.

Zhong Minyan frowned and said, "You can't say that. Monsters are different from humans... How can you kill people just because they do bad things..."

"That demon can kill him if he does something bad?" Xuan Ji asked softly, carelessly.

"That... is different..." Zhong Minyan's eloquence, which had always been proud, was now unknown where to go. He knew it was different in his heart, but he couldn't say what was different.

Linglong said: "If you are not a person, your heart will be different! Anyway, you are not a human being, so you are definitely not a good person!"

Xuan Ji said calmly: "There is nothing different. If it is not a human being, it is not a good thing. There are too many people in the world. Whether it is a human being or a demon, or something else, as long as you do what you should kill, you should kill. As long as you do nothing wrong, you should not kill."

"Uh, you..." Zhong Minyan was stunned for a long time before he could speak, "You...how do you know if they should be killed?"

Xuan Ji rubbed her eyes, and said softly with a strong sense of sleepiness: "Of course I know, I know it in my heart."

Zhong Minyan had nothing to say, and finally waved her hand, "It's so outrageous! It's just a matter of persuasion! Just so, I'm sleepy, go to bed. I'm going to rush to the road tomorrow!"

Seeing that the quarrel was about to part with a bad thing, Linglong hurriedly grabbed Xuan Ji's sleeve and whispered: "Sister, are you talking on purpose?"

Xuan Ji shook her head blankly, "No, I'm telling the truth."

Linglong was speechless.

Ruoyu quickly smoothed out the situation and said with a smile: "Why do you have to say these disappointing words? Come and have another glass of wine! Young Master Zhong also comes to have a drink, and go to bed after a break! It's rare that everyone is so happy."

Zhong Minyan was embarrassed to refute his face, so he had to raise his glass with a smile and touch it gently.

******************************************************

After three rounds of wine, a small storm disappeared just now. Yu Sifeng was a little drunk and smiled with a glass of wine, "Minyan, where are you going next?"

Zhong Minyan said: "We plan to walk east all the time, see the customs and culture along the way, and solve some of the things that are caused by demons. Finally, we go to Fuyu Island to visit the owner of the East."

After hearing this, Yu Sifeng pondered silently, Linglong clapped her hands and said, "Si Feng, Ruoyu, Miss Lu, you have come out to experience it anyway, so why don't we go together! Don't act separately, otherwise it will be boring!"

Ruoyu just laughed, but didn't say anything. He turned his head to look at Yu Sifeng, obviously only listening to his opinions. Yu Sifeng thought for a long time and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go together. Ruoyu and I have no destination, so it's more interesting to travel with you."

Seeing that he agreed, Linglong couldn't help but feel happy and pulled Lu Yanran again. The two girls no longer had a quarrel, but felt that they had the same temper and were reluctant to part.

"Yanran should be with us too! It's lively for many people!" Linglong held her hand, obviously saying the truth.

Lu Yanran was a little moved and said softly: "Thank you, Linglong. I have said a lot of unpleasant words to you before, so don't take them to heart. And Xuan Ji... I'm sorry."

Linglong waved her hand very casually, "Why do you say these old words? I forgot about it!"

Lu Yanran smiled slightly, "But I figured out one thing, I decided to go to my fellow disciples, apologize to them, and then go back to Fuyu Island together. So... I can't walk with you anymore."

Everyone was stunned, and Linglong said anxiously: "Why... you are saying you are leaving now?"

Lu Yanran said seriously: "I used to think that others should give in to me. It doesn't matter if I can't do some things well, but now I find that it's a big mistake. I don't want to be a burden to be taken care of. I hope to be a hero like Linglong and Xuanji who is alone and not inferior to men. So I want to go back to apologize to my fellow students and start from scratch. Moreover, the time for me to go down the mountain to experience is almost here. If I find them, I will go back to Fuyu Island. Linglong, don't you go to Fuyu Island too? We will see you again. I'll treat you to the most delicious food on the island."

When Linglong heard her say this, she knew that she had decided, so she stopped forcing her and grabbed her hand and asked with a smile: "Okay, let's see you again on Fuyudao. When will Yanran leave? Where can I find her fellow disciples?"

"I plan to go west first. They should be staying near Taihua Mountain. They happen to be opposite to the east where you are going. The matter here has been resolved now, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Everyone stopped talking and poured wine to drink, just to say goodbye to her.
