Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 281 The Orion Kills the Fox

Seeing the old woman crying and mourning while hugging her unfilial son who was struck by lightning and died, Li Xiuyuan remained silent.

He knew that, for Dayi, the death of this evil son was of great benefit and nothing harmful. It not only allowed the wicked to get the retribution they deserved, but also reminded the world of the importance of being filial to their parents.

However, Li Xiuyuan understood that for this old woman, she had lost a son.

Although this son seemed to others to be a heinous sinner who deserved his death, the old woman certainly didn't think so.

"Young Master, what happened here? There were several thunderclaps just now. Is there another evil spirit haunting the village?" At this time, Ma Dong, Wu Fei, Niu Er, and Xing Shan were woken up. , Seeing the courtyard door wide open, Li Xiuyuan stood here and hurried over.

They were so asleep that they didn't realize what happened just now.

Only Li Xiuyuan, who was in sedation, heard the movement.

When the guards dared to come, they were stunned when they saw the old man crying and hugging a stiff and curled corpse.

"Someone died? It's the mother-in-law's son, how did he die?" Wu Fei asked in confusion, touching his bald head.

Ma Dong and Niu Er had seen each other a lot, and smelled a sulfur smell that hadn't dissipated, and said, "This smell is the same as what happened that night in Hua County that day. It was struck to death by lightning. Look at the wall of the courtyard." , and left a small hole, this is the divine thunder that kills evil spirits in the sky, only this kind of divine thunder flies sideways, because it wants to chase the evil spirits that are trying to escape."

"How do you say that the dead person is a monster?" Wu Fei was taken aback.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "He is called Shitou, not a monster, but the son of this mother-in-law. When Shitou came home at night, he saw a few healthy horses we left in the backyard, so he became malicious, so he wanted to steal it." The horse went out to sell, and the old woman wanted to stop it, so she cried out, because the stone was afraid of being discovered, so the evil was born from the guts, so she wanted to kill her own mother."

"What? He did something so inferior to a beast?" Even the executioner Wu Fei was shocked when he heard about it.

Several other people also had unimaginable expressions on their faces.

"Mother-murder is such a crime that the heavens and the earth cannot tolerate it, so the heavens were enraged just now, and thunder struck and killed this villain who killed the mother." Li Xiuyuan said.

"It's a good death, such a beast deserves to die." Wu Fei took a sip and cursed.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to signal him and said, "He is dead and his crimes have been eradicated, so you should stop scolding. After all, this old woman lost a son and is sad now. Please be considerate. There is no other family in this family." I lost a man, this mother-in-law can't handle the funeral alone, if we meet this time, I will do a favor, and tomorrow you can take care of it and buy him to bury him."

Several people nodded and agreed to this matter.

However, the commotion here was quite loud, with cries and thunder and lightning. Many people from other households in the village were also awakened. At this moment, carrying lanterns and oil lamps, they are all heading here. come together.

There are people in their twenties, young and old.

"Isn't this a fucking stone? What's the matter? What happened? Why are you sitting on the ground and crying?"

"What? The stone is dead, how did he die?"

"It was because he wanted to kill his mother, but was struck to death by lightning."

"Ah, there is such a thing, God really opened his eyes."

The villagers who rushed over were shocked when they heard the words, and then went to look at Shi Shi's body, and found that the temple on the forehead was pierced by something, it was scorched black, and there were traces of lightning strikes on the nearby ground. Knowledgeable villagers expressed that it was Shitou's unfilial deeds that had offended God, and that he had been taken away by God.

There are also quite a few villagers who feel that the stone is dead enough.

If God hadn't opened his eyes, the one who died this time might be his mother Shitou.

The villagers all worried about the old woman and told her not to be so sad.

They are all from the village, and they all know the virtues of this stone. Having such a son dragged by their side would make them suffer instead. Now that they are dead, life will be easier in the future.

As an outsider, Li Xiuyuan didn't care much about such matters. He just secretly funded and let the more respected elders in the village handle the funeral.

There is a saying that if you are poor, you will take care of yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will also benefit the world.

Li Xiuyuan was born in a wealthy family, he is considered a master, so he is willing to help with money matters.

But what happened tonight is destined to become a story that will be circulated for decades.

And those unfilial people who hear this real story, I believe they will become filial to their parents. After all, the old man is watching from the sky. Although your unfilial piety is fine for the time being, once it becomes bad to a certain extent, God will You won't be disappointed, and thunder will be sent down to kill you.

After such a thing happened, Li Xiuyuan was no longer in the mood to meditate and fall asleep.

He was walking quietly on the path in the village alone, with Xing Shan and Wu Fei following him.

Ma Dong and Niu Er were relatively safe in their affairs, and stayed at the old woman's house to take care of them.

"Today's events are enough to show how important the word filial piety is." Li Xiuyuan, who was walking on the trail, said with a little emotion.

Xing Shan and Wu Fei hadn't had time to speak yet.

Suddenly at this time an old man's voice sounded.

"Yes. Yes, filial piety to the elders is the most important thing. Now the old man is your elder. Now it's time for the son-in-law to be filial to me."

On the dark path not far away, an old man with a white beard walked over vigorously with a cane. He grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand with his eyes wide open.

It's Hu Han~!

Sure enough, the thousand-year-old fox fairy had already arrived near Qingshan, waiting for the arrival of himself and others.

Li Xiuyuan said: "What's the matter, my father-in-law?"

"There is something urgent. My daughters and wives, some fox sons and grandchildren are now hiding in a nearby ruined temple and were discovered by a group of hunters. Now I'm afraid it's bad luck. Now that you've arrived Why don’t you hurry up and help me? You know, the old man’s little girl, Qing’e, is also inside.” Hu Han said anxiously, full of urgency.

It was really because of urgency that he came overnight.

"There is such a thing? What are you waiting for, please ask the old man to lead the way." Li Xiuyuan was also surprised.

"Go~!"

Suddenly, Hu Han stretched out his hand, intending to roll up the three people, and flew away, but with a wave of his sleeve, Li Xiuyuan stayed where he was, and Wu Fei and Xing Shan who were beside him didn't know why, and were caught in the sleeve among.

Ok?
Hu Han froze for a moment, a little puzzled.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't you know that Taoism is useless to me?"

"Is there such a thing?" Hu Han asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, old man. I have a horse that can travel thousands of miles a day and cross mountains and mountains. Let me get on the horse and follow my old man." Li Xiuyuan said, and he took out Zhang Sengyou's horse from the ghost king's bag. Dragon horse figure.

A white light flashed on the dragon and horse picture, and a pure white dragon horse jumped out of the picture with a burst of neighing.

"Is this Zhang Sengyao's painting?" Hu Han was a little surprised, and recognized Zhang Sengyao's dragon and horse picture at a glance.

Li Xiuyuan got on his horse and cupped his hands and said, "My father-in-law, please lead the way."

Hu Han didn't talk nonsense, suddenly soared into the sky, stepped on a white cloud and flew towards the distance.

"Follow me." Li Xiuyuan touched Longma's neck and gestured.

"Ang~!"

The dragon horse neighed, jumped into the air, stepped on the roof, flew over the small tree in the field, stepped on the small tree and continued to leap, flew into the forest, and ran on the canopy of the forest, as light as nothing, really a horse God horse.

And this moment.

In a dilapidated temple near Qingshan County.

Here more than a dozen hunters gathered together, piled dry firewood at each entrance and exit of the temple, lit the fire, and blew billowing smoke into the temple.

"Damn it, I really didn't expect that there are dozens of foxes hiding in this rotten temple. I saw it before. Every fox is fat and big. If you peel off the skin, you can definitely sell several of them, especially the blue one. The fox doesn't have any stray fur on its body, and its fur is shiny, so it's probably already mature."

"The red fox that got into it just now is not bad, but it's a little smaller."

"We caught dozens of foxes in one litter, and we're going to distribute them tonight."

These hunters were excited to receive them, each holding a bow and arrow, ready to shoot the foxes that escaped from Xun.

"Squeak~!"

A fox couldn't stand the smoke and ran out of the ruined temple.

"Hey~!"

An arrow flew towards it, accompanied by a whistling sound, the fox groaned, struggled, fell to the ground and died soon.

"This is what I hunted."

A hunter walked over excitedly, took a straw rope, tied the fox's head and tied it around his waist.

There are already several foxes tied around his waist, all from today's harvest.

"Little brother, little brother, he is dead."

In the temple, there was a faint cry of a woman.

A light-bodied woman in a blue skirt is biting her lip at this moment, holding four or five foxes. The foxes in her arms are all her juniors, and now these juniors who have not yet attained enlightenment are shivering in their arms. , whining continuously.

This woman is none other than Li Xiuyuan's concubine, Qing'e.

"Damn these hunters, I went out and killed them."

A hot and enchanting woman next to her angrily took a branch, turned it into a sword, and prepared to fight out with the sword.

A graceful and luxurious woman quickly stopped her: "San'er, no, these hunters have killed countless foxes, and the aura on their bodies has condensed into a vicious aura that can restrain us fox spirits. Our spells can't deal with these hunters anymore. , if you bear it any longer, the master has already gone to invite someone to help."

Third sister Hu wept, "If father didn't care too much about his road to becoming a fairy and refused to cast spells to kill these hunters, how could we have lost so many relatives?"

Hu Han is a fox fairy, and he has lost his fox body. It is not a problem for him to kill these hunters.

If only a dozen or so lives were killed, Hu Han would never gain enlightenment.

"San'er, you can't think like this. The master's morality cannot be broken. If it is broken, there will be no way to deal with that black fox in the future. At that time, our end will be even worse. The black fox is afraid of the master's morality, so You just instigated these mortals to deal with us, didn't you learn the story of killing with a knife?" Mother Fox sobbed.
