Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 30 What is a demon?
"Five, four, three..." The countdown continues.
Lu Qingshan had no choice but to do this. He didn't have time to stay here for long. Although this would make him known to everyone, it was indeed the most efficient way to solve the problem.
However, even if the Golden Snake Granny knew what he had done in the White Flower Snake Village and wanted to settle the score with him, it would definitely take a day or two.
With his speed, he would be far away from here in a day or two. The Three Thousand Mountains were so vast. As long as he didn't show up in other villages, how could Grandma Golden Snake find him in a short time?
Not to mention that after sending Mimi back to Qingqiu, he would leave the Three Thousand Mountains.
So, he had no scruples.
"Two..." Lu Qingshan's voice gradually became colder and harsher.
"Don't count. It was me who tricked the deer demon back, and I was the one who came up with the idea!" An old voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
"It's Mr. Li!" someone exclaimed.
Lu Qingshan also looked in the direction of the sound source. It was an old man about fifty years old, with wrinkles all over his skinny face.
Because of long-term consumption of well water soaked with poisonous spirit flowers, the life span of mortals in the Wuxiu tribe is generally not long, and usually do not live beyond the age of fifty, so this old man is already considered to be very old.
"Chu Mazi, Li Er...all of you come out. What are you hiding for? Everyone is responsible for their own actions. What kind of man are you if you implicate the old and young in your family?" Old Li shouted loudly.
Under Mr. Li's scolding, another thirty or forty villagers stood up with complicated expressions on their faces. Among them were young people in their twenties and middle-aged men in their thirties.
The old man walked in front and led the villagers all the way to the bottom of the platform.
The other villagers silently moved to the sides to make way for them, and these people walked all the way to Lu Qingshan.
"We were the ones who tricked the deer demon back to the village." Old Li looked up at Lu Qingshan on the high platform and said loudly, "Everyone is responsible for their own actions. I hope the wizard will keep his word and not vent his anger on my family."
In the eyes of the villagers, monks are wizards.
Lu Qingshan did not respond, but instead looked at Mimi with an inquiring look.
"Aaaaaah!" Mimi cried twice.
The King of Western Rat nodded to Lu Qingshan .
This means that all the people who lured Mimi back to the village are here, without any omission.
"You are infected with a deadly poison and are incurable. Your lives are hanging by a thread. It was Mimi who saved you from danger, but not only are you ungrateful, you also turn around and frame it, causing it to become like this. You are more hateful than the black-spotted crow!" Lu Qingshan turned his head, looked at Old Li, and said coldly.
"Hateful? What have I done wrong? It's a monster, and we are humans. Monsters and humans cannot coexist, so isn't it natural for humans to kill monsters?" As if knowing that he was going to die, the old man was fearless. His eyes were full of calmness, and he said in a hoarse voice.
The King of the Rat West was so angry that he could not help but stand up, pointed at the old man's nose and yelled, "Should I kill him if he is a demon?"
"Yes! Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Monsters deserve to die. They do all kinds of evil and slaughter us mortals. It is because of these monsters that we humans have to drink poisonous well water every day. Most of the villagers do not live to see their destiny. Don't monsters deserve to die?" Old Li asked.
Mr. Li's words seemed to have aroused the sympathy of many villagers, causing them to start discussing.
"Mr. Li's wife and children died at the hands of monsters." Someone who knew the situation whispered, "No wonder Mr. Li hates monsters so much."
Although the scent of the Poison Spirit Flower will make monsters feel disgusted, it is not omnipotent. Therefore, even if humans drink well water soaked with Poison Spirit Flowers all year round, there are still many who die tragically at the hands of monsters.
"Mr. Li is right. Those monsters have been harming our human race for so many years. They really deserve to die!" A villager supported, his tone full of resentment.
"But... monsters are not necessarily bad. This deer monster is..." Some villagers hesitated.
…
"But Mimi clearly saved your lives. She is your savior!" The King of Western Rat was so angry that he was shaking all over. He questioned directly without any hesitation.
"So what? Does this change the fact that it is a monster?" Looking at the furious King of the Western Rat, Old Li said slowly.
Hearing the old man's ridiculous words, the King of Western Rat was so angry that he didn't know what to say, but Lu Qingshan was not angry at all, and even couldn't help laughing.
"Master Wizard, what are you laughing at?" Mr. Li was puzzled.
"You're right," Lu Qingshan put away his smile, nodded, and said calmly: "If it's a monster, it must be killed."
"Lu Qingshan, you?!" The King of Western Rat pointed at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.
"But, it's not a monster." Lu Qingshan flipped his hand, and a stream of sword energy shot out, instantly cutting off the old man's head, which fell to the ground.
Because the sword energy was so fast, the old man's head rolled on the ground several times before his headless body slowly fell down.
"You are it!" Lu Qingshan looked at Mr. Li's body and said slowly.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were as sharp as knives as he scanned the remaining thirty or forty villagers one by one.
Some people lowered their heads and remained silent, some had resentment on their faces, and some had regretful expressions on their faces. Their expressions were different.
"Today, I will kill a demon." Lu Qingshan murmured.
He raised his right hand and a sword energy shot out from his fingertips again, transforming into countless thin silk threads in the air and passing through the necks of the thirty or forty mortals.
In an instant, another thirty or forty heads fell to the ground, and their headless bodies fell in a pool of blood.
The smell of blood filled the air and the field was covered in blood.
"Let's go." Lu Qingshan cut off the heads and left without looking at other people's reactions, taking Mimi and the King of Western Rat with him.
He wanted to take Mimi back to Qingqiu as soon as possible.
…
"Lu Qingshan, why did that old man refuse to admit his mistake before he died?" The Western Rat King's voice sounded full of doubt.
"Because he really believes that what he did was right."
"But, he is obviously wrong, isn't he?" The King of Western Rat couldn't understand.
"People's three views are different, and changing a person's three views is also the most difficult." Lu Qingshan was very calm.
"Well...Is that so..." The King of Western Rat was very depressed. Obviously he still couldn't get over Mr. Li's behavior.
"But you just need to have a harder fist than him." Lu Qingshan said calmly: "I don't care whether he really knows his mistakes or whether he really feels guilty and remorseful. I only care whether I can punish him."
The King of Western Rat fell silent, as if he had realized something .
Mi Mi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but blink her big eyes when she looked at Lu Qingshan.
It felt that although Lu Qingshan and Grandpa Qingqiu, who saved it, were both good people, they were completely different.
It couldn't tell the difference , but it found that it could learn something very special from Lu Qingshan.
It is something that Grandpa Qingqiu doesn't have, but it is very useful.
…
Lu Qingshan was also a little dazed at this time.
Because he discovered that after killing those dozens of mortals, his sword intent of killing had actually improved a bit.
The killing sword intent from his previous life was just a piece of data to him, so he only knew how to use it. As for how to improve the sword intent, he was also confused.
The unexpected improvement in the killing sword intent was a pleasant surprise for Lu Qingshan, who was still in the stage of feeling his way forward.
