"You go and kill someone!" Dugu Jue said to Xiao Shiyi, his tone as calm as ever.

After Xiao Shiyi discovered the secret of carrying water up the mountain, he finally learned the strange footwork. Now that he is not only astonishingly fast, he also doesn’t feel any tiredness. He is really mysterious and has benefited a lot, so time has become more abundant. So after going up the mountain, he goes down the mountain and goes to a small town called "Sunshine" hundreds of miles away to purchase ingredients.

At this moment, the master and apprentice were sitting on the second floor of a small teahouse in the town, with a window overlooking the street view.

Xiao Shiyi was stunned when he heard Dugu Jue's words. He was not afraid of killing people. He was never a ruthless person. He had killed people very early. At that time, Xia Chan'er was kidnapped by human traffickers. He rushed out of the shadow and smashed the man's head into pieces. Blood and brain plasma splattered all over him, and he was like a Shura. In order to protect these younger brothers and sisters around him, he found a place to settle in the county city. He was also cruel. If he really fought his life, it was a daunting thing to tell those people that he was not someone who could deceive him.

Who actually made his master who was as elegant as an immortal, so he became confused. However, since he was the master's order, he did not dare to shirk responsibility, so he nodded and asked, "Well, who should I kill?"

Dugu Jue raised his glass to drink all the tea, turned his head to look up the street, and Xiao Shiyi followed his gaze.

I saw a strong middle-aged man following several servants coming from a distance, but he was walking in the middle of the street, looking majestic. The man was really rough, with a beard and thick chest hair, and he was not angry. When pedestrians on the street saw him coming, they avoided him, even if the carriages and horses were going to move away or detour, they did not dare to block his path.

"This person should be a tyrant in the town!" Xiao Shiyi thought so, then understood what the master said, and asked, "That's it... this person?"

Dugu Jue nodded, then said, "I'll give you ten days, I have something to do, let's go first!" After that, his figure disappeared.

Xiao Shiyi's mouth twitched, thinking, "You are really mysterious," he said, "You are the master."

Then he turned his eyes to the domineering man, one hand on the table, one finger tapping the table rhythmically, and the other hand under the table, and the other hand was holding the light flashed, and a dagger with cold light was held in his hand.

In addition to the master, the others were also quite concerned about the people and gave them many magic weapons. This dagger was given to him by the exotic sister Fuloretia.

As soon as the dagger appeared, the temperature on the second floor of the teahouse dropped sharply. The people who were still drinking tea shivered unconsciously. At first, they thought it was an illusion, but they didn't want to get colder. Even though the sun was shining outside at this moment, they were actually venting white breath, which shows that Xiao Shiyi was unaware of it. From beginning to end, he frowned and thought about the problem. This made a group of people feel bad, and they went downstairs to improve. They all said that the second floor was haunted, and the teahouse owner and servant were about to collapse.

The bully was just an ordinary person. Xiao Shiyi had now mastered that kind of footwork. His body was agile and fast, like a ghost. With the combination of this dagger god, he could take the life of that person without knowing it.

He originally planned to do this, but then he found out the problem.

Ten days? Why do you give him ten days to do what you can do in the blink of an eye? Looking back on these days, the master never does unnecessary things. A word or a thing comes from his own, and then I think that ten days will not be aimless.

"Can you have any hidden information?" Xiao Shiyi said to himself, his fingers stopped tapping, the dagger in his hand disappeared, the cold suddenly retreated, and the bully had already passed the teahouse and headed far away.

Xiao Shiyi came to his senses and found that he was the only one left on the second floor. He frowned slightly. He turned to look at the stairs. The waiter was holding a kitchen knife and leaning out his head, looking panicked, while the shopkeeper followed behind and wanted to push him to the second floor. Xiao Shiyi couldn't help but feel silent. What's going on?

"Waiter, check out!" Xiao Shiyi spoke.

The waiter saw the handsome boy sitting by the window, and finally let go of his heart. Someone was unable to be haunted. Then he turned to the crowd downstairs and glared fiercely, saying, "Don't think of betraying the debt!" After that, he immediately changed his smile and walked up to the second floor, feeling a little nervous, but the second floor had already recovered as usual, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, come on!"

Watching Xiao Shiyi walk out of the teahouse, the waiter wiping the table while casting envious eyes and saying to himself, "This young man is extraordinary. I think he is a disciple of a sect of cultivation. I am really envious..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by his head. When the waiter turned around, he turned out to be the shopkeeper. He was glaring at the moment, "Work hard and don't urinate, do you still want to cultivate your virtue? Our Xizhao Town has more than 2,000 people, but the Wen family's twins have some qualifications, but they are only barely qualified. I have been worshipped by a sect. I don't remember it. It seems that they were using a big knife, but a few days ago, the sect was destroyed. If it weren't for the help of a master, the twins would be broken! The cultivation world is very chaotic. Just be a mortal, be content!"

"Just think about it!" the waiter muttered.

······

There are some differences between mortals in the cultivation world and mortals in the mortal world. One is the attitude towards cultivators. mortals in the mortal world regard cultivators as immortals and respect them closely, but they are not. They may also respect them, but they are not surprised; the other is the ownership. There are emperors in the mortal world, and all the kings are kings. They are the subjects of the emperor and are under the jurisdiction and protection of the court. The mortals in the cultivation world are subordinate to the cultivation sects. Except for a few sects that are floating in the nine heavens or hidden in the deep sea, most of the cultivation sects live within the scope of the cultivation sects. These sects clearly say that they are protecting them, but it is unknown whether it is true or false.

Combined with the master's teachings and inquiries, Xiao Shiyi quickly got to know the town.

This Xizhao Town does not vassal in any sect. A long time ago, only a small family named Wen settled here, and gradually other mortals settled here. As the population grew, it became its current scale. With more people, it naturally needed rules to be constrained. As the Wen family, the first family to settle here and the strongest in the town, naturally became the setter of rules and the manager.

However, human nature is greedy. When the power in your hands becomes greater and greater, you will inevitably be blinded by profit, corrupt and degenerate, and become a villain in the fish countryside.

Yu Xiao Shiyi's opinion, this is the case with the Wen family!

The man Xiao Shiyi met was the contemporary head of the Wen family, called Wen Jihua, and his name was so delicate that it was quite inconsistent with his big and thick appearance.

After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Shiyi chased in the direction Wen Jihua was heading. With his body movements, he was naturally easy. Soon he saw the domineering master and servant. The place they went was a market, a place where all kinds of vendors gathered. Xiao Shiyi was naturally familiar with this place, and the place where he and his master purchased ingredients was convenient.

"What's this bully here for?" Xiao Shiyi couldn't help but wonder.

Then, the next scene made him furious, unconsciously clenched his teeth and his fists.

The originally noisy market became silent because of the arrival of these few guests. The vendors and customers who were still bargaining stopped and immediately decided to settle the price and goods. After that, the vendors were silent and the customers left in a hurry, they were afraid of the tyranny of the master and servants. These people had not made any moves, but just went to that stop.

This is the effect at one stop. I think there are many evil deeds in daily life, and the people must have suffered a lot. They dare to be angry but dare not speak out!

"Why are you bastard still here?" Wen Jihua headed towards a meat stall. The vendor was frightened and trembled, and he became speechless, which sounded like he was begging. However, Wen Jihua ignored him and smashed his scale roughly to the ground. The scale plate suddenly deformed and the scale rod was trampled into two pieces. The meat vendor was still holding a sharp bone knife at this moment. Wen Jihua cast a contemptuous look at him and mocked, "Why, can you still want to kill me?" The meat vendor was so scared that he was clever. The knife in his hand fell down and stabbed his feet. He immediately fell to the ground with a scream, covering his bloody feet and wailed.

Wen Jihua sneered and walked away, no longer looking at him, and then looked at a pair of vegetables and children not far away. The woman lowered her eyes and hugged the child in her arms.

"Why, I thought I wouldn't see you if I didn't look at me. Isn't this a steal? The rent at this stall has been delayed again and again. Why don't you pay it? Don't want to pay it back!" Wen Jihua shouted loudly. The woman shook unconsciously, and took out money from a tightly wrapped small cloth bag. The servant came forward to collect it, and her movements were also rude. The child in the woman's arms was frightened and she burst into tears. Wen Jihua ignored it, turned around and walked away, and patrolled with her hands on her back.

The weather was quite hot at this time. A man was carrying heavy objects and unloading goods. He was naked and his arms were exposed, sweating all over. Suddenly, his feet were floating and his goods were falling to the ground. Naturally, he could not escape Wen Jihua's eyes, and he showed a look of disgust, "Tsk, it's really annoying! Throw him out for me!" The servant behind him immediately rushed over and carried the man out of the market.

"There is no tiger in the mountains and the monkey is called the king!" Xiao Shiyi squeezed out these words from the cracks of his teeth.

Xiao Shiyi stood there and watched these quietly. The life and death aura as the king became stronger and stronger. Within a few feet of his body, no one dared to approach him and detoured them one after another. When they were beggars, they were the group of people at the bottom. They could see enough people's evil in their hearts. There were countless people like Wen Jihua, but they were powerless at that time, but now, he already had this ability.

He wanted to kill this person with one knife, but then the master's words "ten days" lingered in his ears again, and he suppressed the impulse and kept gasping to suppress the murderous intent that was about to gush out.

Soon, Wen Jihua and the servant walked back. The servant's arms were all full of things, so I thought there were some snatches from him.

Xiao Shiyi was dressed in particular and had extraordinary temperament. There was a vacuum area around him, so he was quite conspicuous. Wen Jihua saw him, and the two had a brief contact with each other. Xiao Shiyi's eyes were intimidating at this moment, but he didn't expect Wen Jihua to feel anything. He raised his eyebrows, showed a little doubt and walked away. He still looked arrogant and arrogant, swaying across the market!

"Huh!" Xiao Shiyi let out a long breath and recovered as before. His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, but he was heading towards the direction where Wen Jihua and the others threw people. He wanted to find the man who was carried away, but he didn't want to search around but there was no one. He couldn't help but wonder again. Has he already left?

Xiao Shiyi frowned and walked back, and the market returned to its liveliness.

The meat vendor bandaged his feet and found another scale from somewhere. He limped there to solicit business, but no one was there. In front of the mother and son stall, a little maid in purple was bargaining with her. The woman looked embarrassed and finally decided on the price. The maid paid and directed the servants behind her to move all the vegetables away. The woman carefully put the silver wallet and looked at the child with a gentle look.

"There are all kinds of life..." Xiao Shiyi sighed, thinking about the days of several people, and suddenly felt like a dream, and then said to himself, "Ten days are still long..."

A few days later, Xiao Shiyi would come to the town every day and ask. At first, he wanted to search for evidence of Wen Jihua's evil deeds, but he felt at ease when he had a knife. He didn't want to deepen with the understanding. He would say whether this so-called evil person could still be called a evil person, because the impression of Wen Jihua in his heart became a little strange.

Although he is also a mortal, the Wen family covers the sky with only two thousand people in this small town with only two thousand people, which is quite like the Emperor of the Heavenly Heaven who regards himself as a great family member of the local emperor.

Wen Jihua, the contemporary head of the Wen family, is rough and heroic, and has a strong and heroic style; his wife Liu Jingshu is well-educated and polite, and is well-mannered. He has one son and two daughters, and his eldest son Wen Yixian is romantic and charming, and he is willing to be revenge. The two girls are twins, called Wen Xin, Wen, and tender, and have the qualifications to cultivate. He worshipped a small sect, but the sect was later destroyed and the two girls were saved by masters, which is a blessing in disgrace. The Wen family had five great servants, who were given the surname Wen, named Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, and Xin, and were loyal to the Wen family. On that day, Xiao Shiyi saw Wen Jihua and these five great servants.

If the Wen family is fishing for the people, Xiao Shiyi thinks it is normal, and it is natural for the people to eliminate them and then be quick. However, on the contrary, just like the names of the five servants, the Wen family uses benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust as family precepts, and is a complete family of great goodness. In this world where monks fly to the sky and escape from the earth, they protect the people in the town with insignificant power of mortals.

What Xiao Shiyi saw on that day was also inaccurate. He only saw Wen Jihua's arrogant and domineering behavior, but did not see the truth behind it.

Later he also saw the man who was carried away by the master and servant and "donated away". He was in good health and seemed to have not been destroyed. Xiao Shiyi asked about the past that day. The man was shy by nature and was a little embarrassed to scratch his head. However, he was grateful to Wen Jihua in his words. It was a heartfelt statement, without any false intentions, or surrendering to tyranny and disobeying his conscience.

"That day, I was too busy to eat. In addition, the weather was hot, so I didn't want to faint from heatstroke. Fortunately, the master and servant of the Wen family helped me in time and took me to a cool place to relieve the heat. I also invited a doctor to treat me and finished my unfinished work. I am really a charity!"

After hearing this, Xiao Shiyi was stunned and went to visit the food stall of the mother and son, and indirectly attacked him. The woman was simple and honest and did not think too much, but also told her truthfully that she did not expect that the woman who was a little nervous that day was just a praising word when she talked about this "bully".

"In the past, I did not set up a stall in this market, but in other places, the business was cold and tight. Master Wen said that I would come here, so the business would be better. The rent was to be paid, but the business was difficult to do, so it could be handed over when it was difficult to do it...Mr Wen would collect the rent on the surface, but he would secretly send maids to disguise themselves as servants from other wealthy families to buy vegetables. Not only did he not bargain, but he also raised the price. After the transaction, he not only paid back the rent, but also made a lot of money... Many people like me in this market, who took care of us like this, but he was a great charity!"

Xiao Shiyi asked the butcher whereabouts again, and the butcher did not appear again in a few days.

"Oh, you talk to him. He makes bad money against his conscience and makes trouble on the scale. He is short of weight and lacks weight. Master Wen has already talked about him many times, but he still remains unchanged......"

"Then... why did he pretend to be a bully?" Xiao Shiyi asked in confusion.

"Mr. Wen was also quite kind, but in this way, the people were grateful to him so they wanted to repay him. He was unwilling to accept it, but he really couldn't refuse it. He had to pretend to be a villain and drink to the people. There were naturally fewer people who dared to repay kindness in this way. Master Wen was really a conflicted person. He did good deeds with the appearance of a villain, and the people who were taken care of by him were also conflicted. Even though we were grateful, we had to be afraid of him. He was really...ah!"

Wandering around in the town and listening to the words of hundreds of schools, there are good and bad things, but good accounts for the majority. Those who say bad things are also guilty. They have been punished by Wen Jihua for committing crimes, holding grudges, and they are desperately slandering them. But how can they deceive Xiao Shiyi, the eyes of people who have seen all kinds of life.

He also sneaked into Wenjiazhuang and saw Wen Jihua taking off the mask of a villain. Even though he was rough, he was a man who loved reading and liked to read. He was very interesting. If he had to remove his beard and dressed in a literati, he would have a literary character. He respected his wife as guests, and raised his eyebrows in the same table; he was in harmony with his children, and was happy; his servants respected him very much, and he treated them like relatives. There was a rumor that it was because of the great kindness of the Wen family, Wenxin and Wenqing sect that was slaughtered, a master then helped him, saved the lives of two women in the Wen family, and even set up a formation for Wenjiazhuang to protect them.

Good will be rewarded, and good causes will be rewarded. That’s how it is!

······

It was still the same teahouse, the same table, and the same location. Xiao Shiyi was stunned at the empty seat in front of him, feeling in a conflict.

Doing good deeds without seeking rewards, having compassion, being generous and gentle is benevolent; having shame and disgust, doing strong and righteous acts, and protecting the people is righteous; advancing and retreating are appropriate, being orderly, sympathetic to subordinates, and having rules for dealing with things is ritual; knowing a lot, distinguishing right from wrong, being straightforward, truth from wrong, truth from falsehood, and secretly observing literature and theory is wisdom; the Wen family has been running Xizhao Town for generations, and if you enter the town, you will be protected by it, and you will always make promises, which is faith.

People like benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, and Wen Jihua also have the physique of "returning to the heart". No wonder he and Xiao Shiyi looked at each other with murderous eyes without any feeling.

"Master, why do you want me to kill this person?" Xiao Shiyi said to himself, and then looked out the window. The "evil man" was rushing around again, but the fearful eyes of the people could not hide their respect.

He was so hesitant, entangled, and conflicted. On the tenth day, Xiao Shiyi stood before the gate of Wenjiazhuang for a long time. Seeing the people in and out of Wenjiazhuang, he was in a happy scene. He clenched his fists and loosened them, and clenched them tightly. This repeated, before he knew it, the setting sun had already set, and the afterglow pulled his figure very long, very long.

"Child, have you encountered difficulties?" A voice sounded in my ears. Xiao Shiyi came to his senses. It turned out that it was Wen Jihua who had "for the disaster to the countryside". When he saw Xiao Shiyi, he thought he had encountered trouble and came to Wenjiazhuang for help, so he stopped and came over to ask.

Xiao Shiyi looked at the "evil man" who was close to him, and his face was filled with a friendly and kind expression. The most important thing was that he was unprepared. The five servants behind him, including benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust, were like his own master.

If he suddenly took action, he would instantly die. Xiao Shiyi thought so, clenched his fists and a faint light flashed, but the next moment he let go of his hands, and his tense heartstrings also loosened. He let out a long breath, a smile appeared on his face, warm and gentle, and then said, "Thank you for your concern, boy is fine, just take a rest when you are tired of walking!"

Wen Jihua nodded, patted his shoulder with a smile, then turned around, after walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, and turned around and said, "It's almost time for dinner. If the child doesn't dislike it,...hey, where are the people?"

······

Wen Jihua walked into Wenjiazhuang, but saw his eldest son Wen Yixian coming over in a hurry. He saw that Wen Xin and Wen Qing were holding a girl in a wedding dress and crying red eyes. He couldn't help but frown.

"Dad, I seem to be... getting into trouble..." Wen Yixian said.
