Chapter 34: How to Treat Beasts

In the darkness, after Shen Bai listened to the conversation between these people, a picture emerged in his mind.

In the picture, a young woman in plain clothes walks into the village with a medicine box in hand, looking anxious as she prepares to treat the villagers.

But what greeted her were the disgusting faces of the villagers.

The woman in plain clothes fell down, and one strong man after another rose and fell on her body.

The woman in plain clothes, covered in dirt, had a look of despair on her face, and her eyes were as dull as wood.

Afterwards, the elderly village chief Yang pulled up his trousers and waved his hand to let the villagers carry the woman in plain clothes to the locust tree, brutally dismembered her body, and hid it inside the locust tree.

The huge locust tree swayed its branches, absorbing the terrifying resentment.

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows.

"The matter is now clear."

At some point, he subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist.

To be honest, Shen Bai has been in this world for so long and thought that his mental quality was very strong. However, after hearing today's words, he suddenly felt that the evil in this world was far from as simple as he thought.

Next to him, Wuhua clasped his hands together, and the nine scars on his head were particularly conspicuous.

"Donor Shen, my Buddhist heart has been polluted."

Shen Bai frowned, not understanding what it meant.

"Xuanxin Temple cultivates Buddhism and cultivates the mind. If there is dust in the heart, it must be wiped away as soon as possible."

Wuhua said slowly: "I know that Mr. Shen wants to take action, but can you give me a chance? This time, I will consider it as a debt I owe you."

As he spoke, Wuhua's gaze fell on Shen Bai's sword.

Shen Bai's sword was already half unsheathed.

Although he had the calming power of the Heart Purification Mantra, Shen Bai still had the intention to kill.

Being calm is being calm, having murderous intent is having murderous intent, there is no conflict.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "Master, what are your plans?"

Wuhua chanted a Buddhist chant: "Do the deeds of the angry-eyed Vajra."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wuhua's figure disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was already in the ancestral hall.

Seeing this, many villagers immediately looked at Wuhua in astonishment.

Village Chief Yang reacted the fastest and shouted, "We've been discovered. It's too late. Kill them first!"

Originally, Village Chief Yang wanted to use Huai Ling, but now that the truth has been revealed, he has no choice but to take action first.

With Village Chief Yang's words, many villagers rushed towards Wuhua and Shen Bai.

Wuhua rolled up his sleeves, and golden Buddha light emerged from his body, like a furious Vajra, and rushed into the crowd.

Every punch can break bones and tendons of a villager.

In just a few breaths, dozens of villagers were lying on the ground wailing.

Their limbs were broken and they were crawling on the ground in twisted bodies.

There was a murderous aura constantly flowing around Wuhua.

Village chief Yang had a dazed look on his face. He suddenly dropped his walking stick and turned around to run away.

But the next moment, a fist smashed his face into a distorted shape.

"what!"

A scream came from Village Chief Yang's mouth.

Shen Bai retracted his fist and said with interest: "I thought you would be like some stinky monks and use some Buddhist teachings to persuade me."

Wuhua's face was full of solemnity: "The abbot once said that in troubled times, the Buddhist teachings of Xuanxin Temple only save good people."

"What if he is a bad guy?" Shen Bai asked.

Wuhua clasped his hands together and said, "Evil people are not worthy of being saved by the Buddha's teachings. If they are evil people, everyone in Xuanxin Temple should transform into angry Vajra and slay the demons and monsters."

Shen Bai nodded: "Master, you are very much to my taste."

Today, if Wuhua talks about enlightenment, Shen Bai will make Wuhua taste the blood sword dance.

Shen Bai was very satisfied with Wu Hua's actions today. The anger in Wu Hua's eyes was still there. "Besides, the Baiyi Valley is a force that has never fought or competed, and only wants to save the world in troubled times. How could these beasts be so evil?"

"Human evil is infinite." Shen Bai shook his head.

He said no more and stepped on Village Chief Yang's face.

"what!"

Village Chief Yang was still screaming, but Shen Bai's feet continued to exert force.

"Shut up."

When the voice came, Village Chief Yang was frightened and subconsciously closed his mouth.

He was scared.

They took care of all the villagers in just a few breaths. These two people are definitely not ordinary people.

Village chief Yang recalled the scene when he and many villagers defiled the woman and the woman raised her hand and knocked several villagers away.

"Master, spare my life..."

Shen Bai said calmly: "What is a guide? Tell me everything you know, including the woman from Baiyi Valley."

Since things have come to this point, Shen Bai just took this opportunity to find out useful information.

Village Chief Yang swallowed hard and quickly replied, "The thing is, our village has been poor for years. A few months ago, a strange man suddenly came and planted a locust tree on the island in the center of Liuyun Lake."

"That person told us that as long as we have sincerity in our hearts and feed the locust tree with our blood, a locust spirit will be born, bringing prosperity to Huaixi Village."

"We didn't believe it at first, but we didn't expect it to be true. From then on, strange phenomena gradually appeared in Huaixi Village."

"As long as we enter the mountains, we will surely return with great rewards, so... we began to offer sacrifices to Huai Ling..."

Every villager had wounds on their hands. Combined with what Village Chief Yang had just said, Shen Bai knew that these wounds were all caused by offering sacrifices.

"Why do you want to kill the disciples of Baiyi Valley again?" Wuhua clenched his fists.

Village Chief Yang said timidly, "The guide said... if a cultivator takes blood as food, the locust tree spirit can grant us more benefits... so we borrowed a locust tree branch and plotted against her..."

"At the time, we saw she was beautiful, and we had never tasted a woman like her. We were going to die anyway... so..."

Village Chief Yang couldn't finish his words because Shen Bai was stepping on his face again and again.

Every time he stepped on it, Village Chief Yang's flesh and blood would fly.

In just a moment, Village Chief Yang's body was reduced to a blur.

Wuhua just kept watching and didn't stop him.

When Shen Bai withdrew his foot, his expression looked much more relaxed.

"You just vented."

"You don't mind if I vent a little?"

Wuhua was stunned by this question and answered subconsciously: "Of course."

Shen Bai walked past every villager with a long sword in hand.

Every time someone passed by, the long sword in his hand would pierce the blood vessels in their neck.

Every sword strike was understated.

When Shen Bai swung his last sword, the villagers rolled on the ground, feeling the fear and pain of losing their blood bit by bit.

Shen Bai was holding a long sword, and in Wuhua's eyes, he looked like a monster crawling out of hell.

It was more like a reaper who was indifferent to life and watched the villagers die coldly.

After a while, there were only corpses on the ground. No one died peacefully. All of them died in pain and begging for mercy.

Shen Bai turned around and said calmly, "How do you feel?"

Wuhua clasped his hands together and said, "Xuanxin Temple is not a place for pedantic monks. These people have long since fallen into evil ways. What you have done is the right thing."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Let's go."

Wuhua was slightly stunned.

Shen Bai sheathed his sword: "The matter of the locust tree should be concluded."
