Chapter 213 The Upright Li Ye

"Nine out of ten gamblers lose, and if you lose everything you have, you are worse than a pig."

"Don't gamble with your life. One misstep can lead to eternal regret."

"Gambling costs money and damages morality. It is too late to regret once your character is ruined."

"The road to gambling is abyss, and there are traps at every step. Don't wait."

……

At the Caishikou where the county government beheaded criminals, the bailiffs posted warning messages written in black on white paper, like couplets, next to the execution platform.

The streets were noisy and the people gathered in a circle, pointing and watching the fun, while the yamen runners were responsible for maintaining order.

There were two tables on the execution platform.

On one side of the table was the handsome Li Ye, and on the other side were Luo Xiuyong and others who were only left with their underwear.

The county magistrate sat in the middle, acting as referee, his brows furrowed like a bitter gourd.

He never expected that things would end up like this.

He just wanted to ask someone to catch a monster in order to maintain the peace of the people in the county. Who did he offend?

This unprovoked disaster happened for no reason.

After what happened today, Longhu Mountain and Qingyun Sect must have been offended greatly. They are two sects that even the imperial court has to offer tributes to!
He secretly glanced at the enthusiastic Li Ye and complained in his heart, if you had such great ability, you should have told me earlier that I would have reconciled your relationship no matter what I said. Why did you make the situation so awkward like it is now!

Practitioners are so difficult to serve!

After this incident, he might have no choice but to resign and return home to retire!

……

Luo Xiuyong and others did not expect that Li Ye would make such a big fuss.

In fact, they didn't guess every step Li Ye would take.

The Yuanying realm masters pretended to be casual cultivators to play tricks on them and robbed them of their property with violence;
Then he suddenly wanted to gamble with them, perfectly portraying the image of a cynical master.

They thought that Mu Dao Ren would not dare to offend Longhu Mountain and Qingyun Sect, and after giving them a warning, he would find an excuse to return the things to them.

As a result, they were thrown onto the execution platform, and the yamen runners were asked to recruit a large number of onlookers.

Wearing only their underwear and being watched by a group of ant-like mortals, Luo Xiuyong and the others felt so ashamed that their faces turned red, and they simply wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In particular, Mu Dao Ren also made those misleading gambling warnings, as if he was telling the onlookers that it was because of their bad behavior that they had gambled away all the clothes they had on their bodies.

Ugh!
They have brought shame to their sect. How will they deal with themselves after word gets back to them?
"Senior Mu, please give me some space so that we can meet again in the future. We are all practitioners, why do you have to kill us all?" Luo Xiuyong lowered his voice and pleaded with a bitter face.

"Senior Mu, please let us go! We can be shameless, but Junior Sister Shen and the others are girls..." Qi Xingze pleaded in a low voice.

Shen Lanyi and the other person lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Ye or the people around them.

Originally, they were in the backyard of the county government office, so they just took off their clothes. After all, Mu Dao Ren was handsome, and although it was a bit awkward when he took off his clothes, they still felt a different feeling in their hearts.

But now, they were only wearing underwear and were being watched and pointed at by a group of peasants. They felt like they were standing naked in public, and were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to commit suicide to preserve their innocence.

In the current situation, if they commit suicide, they may not leave behind a good reputation, but a bad reputation for gambling.

Evil repair!

Taoist Mu is definitely an evil cultivator!

No matter how good-looking he is, he is still an evil cultivator.

After this matter is done, they will definitely ask their master to kill this beast, so as to alleviate the humiliation of today and the hatred in their hearts.

……

"Doesn't this give you a chance?"

Li Ye smiled at Luo Xiuyong, "Make a bet with me, and if you win, you can get your things back. Is there anything easier than this? This is a step for you! I am a great ancestor of the Nascent Soul Realm, and I am insulted by you little guys without any reason. How can I lose face?"

"..." Luo Xiuyong was speechless.

"You will offend two sects at the same time by doing this." Ding Jie said.

"I'm not afraid." Li Ye raised his eyebrows, "County Magistrate Zhao, let's begin!"

Li Ye didn't care at all about the evil spirits that were endangering Fengling County.

The one with the highest cultivation among these people is Master Gao, and he is only at the Golden Core Stage.

Even a Jindan realm cultivator dares to come and eliminate demons. He possesses spiritual power, divine power, solar star power, and a strong physical body. That little evil spirit can probably be killed by just one finger of his. There is no need to worry at all.

If you have that much free time, you might as well help the dice to increase their magical power and create some derivative skills.

Li Ye's goals are always clear and he never loses his direction.

As for the dice?

It is impossible to publicly promote gambling. That is a small path that is doomed to alienate the people. Preventing and quitting gambling is undoubtedly a bright path that will gain the support of more people.

County Magistrate Zhao sighed and stood up, "My fellow citizens, Taoist Mu is here in Fengling County today to get rid of the demon. He is a great man who cares about the world, but before he became a practitioner, he lost everything in gambling and his wife and children were separated. He hates gamblers the most in his life. So, he came to Fengling County this time to use his own experience as an example to publicize the harm of gambling to the world, and ask the people to take it as a warning."

"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, which flows in all shapes and forms. Below, it is the rivers and mountains; above, it is the sun and stars. In people, it is called Haoran, which is so abundant that it fills the universe..."

Li Ye's voice then rang out, "Everyone, I came to Fengling County and looked through all the files on demons and evil spirits harming people. I found that all the dead were seduced by beauty and were taken advantage of by the demons and evil spirits.

Therefore, if we stick to our original intention, we will be upright and not be invaded by evil spirits. In life, we strive for fame and fortune. Beauty, money, power, and fame are constantly eroding our minds.

Not only demons, but even evil people will take advantage of these things to set traps for you, making you step into the trap step by step, unable to extricate yourself, causing you to lose money at the very least and even your life at the worst.

Nowadays, evil is rampant. I can protect you for a while, but I cannot protect you forever.

Today, I demonstrated to you how gambling harms people. I want to warn you that if you stick to your original intentions, you will not be invaded by evil; if you do not give rise to greed, then righteousness will remain.

The first step to sticking to one’s original intention is not to be greedy. This is also the foundation of the path of cultivation. Otherwise, even a cultivator can be possessed by the inner demon, and eventually the heart of the Tao will be completely destroyed, and the road ahead will be cut off..."

Wow!
The common people originally came to watch the fun, but they didn't expect to have the great principles splashed all over their heads. They were immediately in an uproar, and looked at Luo Xiuyong and others with more contempt.

Although Li Ye did not say it explicitly, they have become negative examples in the eyes of everyone.

Luo Xiuyong and others were so aggrieved that they wanted to cry but had no tears.

How could they not stick to their original intentions? It was obvious that the things on their bodies were stolen by Mu Dao Ren. But at this time, they could not even make an excuse. After all, the people had already formed a preconceived notion.

Of course, they didn't dare to do so and could only swallow the dirty water that was thrown on them.

……

Li Ye sat back at the table, glanced at Luo Xiuyong and the others, and asked, "Who will come first?"

Luo Xiuyong and others looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Master Gao sighed and said, "Let me go first!"

He was a casual cultivator who didn't care about face or seek revenge. He cared more about the magic weapons that were taken away by Li Ye. If he could get one or two back, he would consider himself the winner.

He was now very glad that Li Ye was just joking with them. If he was a true evil cultivator, he would have killed people and taken treasures long ago.

Master Gao clasped his fists and saluted Li Ye: "Senior Mu, if you win once, can you really get a magic weapon back?"

"Of course." Li Ye nodded with a smile, "As long as you win, you can even choose one of these magic clothes."

Master Gao's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed. The magic weapons of the disciples of Longhu Mountain and Qingyun Sect were good, but it would be fine if Li Ye took them. If he took them, he would probably bring endless troubles.

With a sigh, Master Gao sat across the table and said, "Senior Mu, please."

Li Ye took out the dice cup, put it on the table, looked at Master Gao opposite him, and asked, "What is your bet?"

Master Gao was stunned: "I still need to bet?"

"What a joke." Li Ye laughed. "Why should I bet with you if there is no stake? You want to win something from me with nothing? How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

Nima!

Master Gao’s face turned dark.

He was wrong.

The other party is not just making fun of them, they just want to suck the marrow out of them!

They not only coveted the property on them, but also the wealth in their homes.

"Senior Mu, I..." Master Gao looked at Li Ye, hesitated for a moment, stood up again, saluted again with a dark face, and said respectfully, "Senior, I was wrong to offend you just now. If I have offended you, please forgive me.

I will just regard those things as gifts from Gao, Senior. Please spare my life. If I meet you again in the future, Gao will definitely stay away from you."

"You are quite smart." Li Ye smiled, and turned to the people, "It is not too late to stop before it is too late. Even if you have gone astray, turning back in time is not a bad choice."

When Master Gao heard Li Ye say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists to Li Ye again, and turned around to leave.

Sang Feng was stunned for a moment and was about to follow suit.

Sudden.

Beside Li Ye, a flying sword shot up, with the tip of the sword pointed straight at Master Gao, blocking his way.

at the same time.

Li Ye's voice rang out: "Stop, who told you to leave?"

The sword's light flickered, as if it could pierce his skull at any time. The blood on Master Gao's face faded away, and he turned around with difficulty: "Senior Mu, what do you mean by this?"

"If you say you don't want to gamble, then don't gamble. Where is my face?" Li Ye sneered, "You can not gamble, but pay the debt first!"

"..." Master Gao was stunned and asked subconsciously, "When did I owe you a debt?"

"Everyone, this is what gamblers do. After losing, they think they can get away with it by cheating." Li Ye smiled and turned to educate the public about the law. "But once you are at the gambling table, it is not so easy to leave. The dealer will try every means to squeeze every inch of value out of them, even at the cost of their second half of life..."
