I have a volume of demons

Chapter 173 Snake

Wu Yun chased Lin Yi under the moon, if he caught up, maybe there would be a good story, but unfortunately, Lin Yi ran too fast, and Wu Yun was too tired to catch up.

Lin Yi walked against the wind, running like lightning, and arrived in Lingling County at dawn.

At this time, he checked the status of Mrs. Poison again.

"Wrestle with people, but fail to hurt them a bit, exhausted, and flee in panic."

After fighting for so long, the result finally came to fruition. I don't know which ruthless person fought with her. Judging from the description, the other party's morality should be much higher than that of Mrs. Du.

Although I don't know where that person came from, it would be good if Madam Du can be taught a lesson. At least, Ji Dong's side will be safe.

Don't have to worry about the threat from Mrs. Poison for the time being, Ji Dong began to look for a temporary shelter in Lingling County.

Lingling County is different from Xingsha County. It is mountainous, with dangerous roads and less fertile land. Naturally, it is not as prosperous as Xingsha County. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Transportation is too important for the development of a place.

Fortunately, there are gains and losses. Backers can eat mountains, and hunters can take mountain products to sell in the city, which is also a good income, but there are not many rich people in the city. Compared with other places, the mountain products here are also very cheap.

When Lin Yi was strolling, he smelled the smell and walked to the market. Looking around, those mountain products were three years old, five years old, and ten years old. There are many varieties. There are no animal protection laws in this era. I can't even eat anymore, so of course I eat whatever I can catch.

It's just that Ji Dong looked at the animals trapped in the cage, all of them were pitiful, and he lost his appetite for a while.

No wonder the sage said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Although he would say it smells delicious when he eats meat, he can't bear to watch these fresh lives come to an end.

Ji Dong quickened his pace and was about to leave the market. He also thought about whether to buy them and let them be released, but he thought that this is a world with monsters. Karma really has nothing to do with him?
Forget it, out of sight is out of mind.

When going out of the market, Lin Yi also saw a middle-aged man holding a bamboo basket wrapped in cloth. After he appeared, those hunters who sold mountain goods all looked at him with admiration and envy. Can't help but wonder what's in it.

When he was staring at it, he suddenly heard a sharp sound, and then, the cage that the middle-aged man was holding just now, the cloth was lifted, and a gap was exposed in the lid, and a black and white snake shot rapidly. He went out and went straight to the man's neck.

This accident came unexpectedly, the man had no time to react, the snake was moving too fast, and it was about to bite the man's neck, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and pinched the poisonous snake's head.

Because he was too scared, Ji Dong crushed the snake to death.

Ever since he was a child, Ji Dong has been afraid of snakes the most. He is not afraid of ghosts, but he is afraid of snakes, whether they are poisonous or not.

The reason was still in childhood, when he woke up once and found that the end of his foot was cold, he subconsciously rubbed it with his foot, it was slippery and greasy, and when he was still wondering what it was, he felt a pain in the ankle , and then a yellow and black body hurried away.

At that time, he remembered that after being bitten by a snake in the TV series, he used his mouth to suck out the venom, so he wanted to suck his own feet while crying, but he couldn't suck it. He once felt that he was going to die, and cried anxiously.

It was only later that I found out that it was a non-venomous snake and could not kill anyone, but the wet and slippery touch still became the shadow of Ji Dong's childhood.

Even if he is a cultivator now, with more than 2000 years of Taoism, Ji Dong is still afraid when he sees a snake. Even so, it is still important to save people, so he made a hasty move, but accidentally used too much strength.

At this moment, the poisonous snake has become a poisonous snake sauce.

Ji Dong quickly threw the snake away, and he didn't care whether anyone would appear before him, so he took a picture of a magic talisman, which sent him a thousand waves.

The power of this rune can probably kill an ordinary person, and a practitioner with a relatively low cultivation level would have his hands and feet broken if he was hit, but Ji Dong's defense is high, and it's just right to wash his hands.

After washing, I burned it with fire again, and then I felt much more comfortable in my heart, and I didn't feel hairy anymore.

Ji Dong was too fluent when doing these operations, and others were still in a daze. He had already experienced the two heavens of ice and fire once after throwing the snake.

The middle-aged man also knew that Lin Yi had saved him, so he said with red eyes, "Thank you for saving me."

Ji Dong was stunned for a moment, ah, is it necessary to be so moved?
At this moment, Ji Dong was a little moved. Who said that troublesome people come from poor mountains and rivers? The folk customs in this place are obviously very simple!
Thinking of this in his heart, Ji Dong still comforted him: "It's just a matter of lifting a finger, it's not impossible."

The man couldn't help covering his face, and said in shame: "I am because of my son. In order to pay for his mother's medical treatment, he went to the mountains to catch snakes without telling me. When the snake caught him, he was also bitten to death. This snake It was my child who sacrificed his life for it, but I didn’t like it..."

Ah this...

Ji Dong looked at the snake he had thrown away, and hurried over to pick it up, saying: "Don't cry, look, the snake is still here, but the head is gone."

"..."

The man didn't know how to respond to these words, he just covered his face and cried, but the hunter who was selling pheasants next to him said with a little sympathy: "The price of a live snake is ten gold, and a dead snake is less than a thousand gold. This snake is worthless when it is dead.

It was really a bit of a trick just now, usually the snake will not move when it is covered by light in the basket, and the lid is tightly closed, why did it suddenly jump out? "

Hearing what the people next to him said, Ji Dong almost understood.

This man's snake is very precious, but it is indeed a deadly thing. I saved him just now, but killed his snake. Naturally, it is difficult for him to seek compensation from the savior. It was the sick wife who cried so desperately.

Lin Yi substituted it, and felt that it was really difficult for him.

Most of the suffering in the world comes from poverty.

The hemp rope is specially broken at the fine point, and bad luck often finds poor people. This man died of his son and had no money for his wife's medical treatment.

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, but still patted him on the shoulder, saying, "I killed this snake, and I will pay you for it."

"How does this make it?"

Having said that, the man was still a little moved.

Ji Dong could tell that he actually wanted it, but he was too embarrassed to accept it. He shouldn't have asked for Ji Yi's money, but Lin Yi offered to give it. If he had money, he could save his life. It is also difficult for him to forcefully reject the fate of his own family.

"Ten golds are nothing more than skin to me."

While talking, Ji Dong also complained, this is not superficial, this is my previous [-] months salary!

After the salary of the chief arrester of Dangdai was raised, he ran away before receiving his salary. He bought two houses and had no place to live.

Really miserable.

Well, no matter, anyway, he has long since stopped living on that little salary, and it doesn't matter if it's ten or twenty months.

It's just that he spends so much money outside, He Dong will definitely blame him later.

"Master Immortal, as long as hardware is enough, my mother-in-law's illness can be almost cured by hardware."

Just now, many people saw the part where Ji Dong performed water and fire washing his hands. The man didn't know Ji Dong's identity, so it was always right to call him an immortal master.

He wasn't greedy either, as long as he only wanted half of it, Ji Dong still stuffed all the ten gold into the hands of the man Hei Buliuqiu.

"I have other things to do, let's go first."

Ji Dong kept the money, and didn't want to see others look at him with grateful eyes, so he hurriedly left the scene. By the way, he also wanted to catch the guy behind the scenes.

Trying to run in front of a first-rank powerhouse?

In just a few breaths, Ji Dong came in front of a man in a long gown. The man was holding a piccolo in his hand. The harsh sound just now should have come from this thing.

What surprised Ji Dong was that this was not a demon.

He just thought it was the snake monster making trouble, so he rushed over excitedly. No matter how many years of Taoism he has, he can make money if he brushes it. It's a real person.

"Who are you and why do you want to kill someone?"

Lin Yi's sudden appearance startled the man, and he also recognized that Lin Yi was the immortal master who blocked him. Now that someone came to him, he was naturally terrified, and quickly defended himself: "I I don’t want to harm anyone, I just want to save the snake.”

Ji Dong's eyes suddenly became very strange.

What, do I look like a silly white sweet?
He is more kind to ordinary people, but he has never shown mercy to criminals. Let's understand a witch with a knife?
"Why do you want to save a snake? In order to save a snake, you want to kill a person. Are you a human or a demon?"

As Lin Yi said, he pulled out a knife from the cloud bag, and tried to chop.

"Great Immortal, please forgive me. My name is Xu Yan. I live in Wangshan Town, ten miles outside the city. I am a human, not a demon!"

Xu Yan was worried that Ji Dong would treat him as a monster and kill him. He was just a mortal, so how could he stand up to Ji Yi's scare.

Ji Dong's knife was put away in front of his neck, the matter was not clear, and Ji Dong didn't really want to kill him, but he didn't take back the knife, and continued to question: "Since you are a human, why do you want to fight with others?" enemy?"

"I just feel sorry for those snakes."

Xu Yan was trembling all over, and said stammeringly: "I know that man, Zhang Quan, who specializes in catching snakes. He often sells snakes in the city. Those snakes are so pitiful. He didn't do anything wrong staying in the mountains. He will be caught and eaten. I just wanted to let the snake out, I didn't want to kill him."

"There are reasons and evidence, then tell me, if you are just an ordinary farmer, why do you know how to control snakes? You don't really think I look deceptive, do you? Seeing your plain clothes, you shouldn't be a wealthy family. But the skin is tender and the meat has no traces of hard work.

Come on, let me guess, are you really out of your mind and full of empathy, or have you made a shady deal with something behind your back? "

Hearing this, Xu Yan's face turned pale.

At first, he saw that Lin Yi was so polite to Zhang Quan and paid for it out of his own pocket. He thought that Lin Yi was a practitioner who had just come out of the rivers and lakes. The characteristics of this type of person are simple, chivalrous and generous.

I thought that as long as I said a reasonable reason, I should be able to avoid disaster, but I didn't expect this person to expose his details all at once.

Faced with Ji Dong's questioning, Xu Yan couldn't utter a word. Lin Yi rubbed the back of the knife and said, "I'll give you two choices, one is that I will chop you up right now, and the other is that you take me to see you." Your mastermind behind the scenes."

"Second, I choose the second..."
