Chapter 93 The Prisoner's Dilemma
Li Yan smiled but said nothing.
However, his mysterious attitude further confirmed Xu Xiuyuan's conjecture.
Without even giving instructions, I hurried to the riverside.
He pinched his fingers and immediately a wave of Cangwa pushed the fish demon corpse back to the shore.
A monster like a fish demon who possesses Taoist seeds, apart from his bloodline, the flesh and blood on his body are also precious.
Xu Xiuyuan was unmoved at all.
"I have a meager cultivation, so I will not interfere with the Taoist fellow practitioners."
He reached out and made a call, and the old Taoist looked at his eyes and nose, looking at his heart, and looked at his attitude that he could let Li Yan deal with it.
"When I go back to the mountain gate, I will definitely give a few good words to my fellow Taoist in front of my master."
Li Yan also smiled and said with a smile when he heard the legend.
After resting for a while, the true qi in Lingtaizhong had recovered a little, and his pale complexion improved a lot. The boy just took off a gray bag of objects from his waist, and his lips moved.
Lancang Jun's demon body, more than a meter long, turned into a stream of light and was put into a bag.
"Since this is the case, fellow Taoist wants to go back to my Qingyang Temple to take a break so that Xu can fulfill his friendship with the landlords."
With Li Yan's guarantee, Xu Xiuyuan showed joy on his face and greeted the boy more eagerly.
Just got a bargain, but Li Yan naturally had no reason to refuse.
He bowed his hand and was about to say something about respect, but he suddenly saw a figure walking towards the village entrance from the corner of his eyes.
With a cold snorting, Li Yan raised his hand to recall the Talisman Sword.
Just a clear sword roar was heard, and Mr. Huang, who was trying to slip away while he was in the chaos, froze, and the talisman sword shining with a faint cold light was inserted tremblingly less than a foot in front of him.
Beads of sweat as big as beans slid down his sideburns from his face.
"If you help the evil and make accomplices for the tiger, do such a big deal, do you still want to survive?"
Li Yan's cold voice penetrated the river breeze and clearly reached Mr. Huang's ears.
Mr. Huang's heart suddenly became terrified, and he clearly could hear the murderous intent in the other party's words.
As a local gentry and powerful man in Yuru Village, Mr. Huang is also a capable person who can bend and stretch. He heard this and then he would kneel down to Li Yan without saying a word.
But I heard Xu Xiuyuan laughing jokingly.
"Even if fellow Taoist let him go today, this guy will not live for three days. How can the benefits of monsters be so easy to get. They will prosper and lose both. It is also because the fish demon has just died, and the spirit of the whole body has not yet dissipated. Otherwise, it will be that if it doesn't last for a moment or three moments, this guy will die and die."
Xu Xiuyuan said something even more. Master Huang was sweating even more.
Just as he was thinking about how to please the two immortals in front of him who killed Lan Cangjun, the next moment, Mr. Huang felt a chill on his neck, and then his vision was a dizzy moment.
Why did Xianchang not give me a chance to argue...
This is the last thought in Mr. Huang’s mind before his consciousness completely dissipated.
"Take people as sacrifices, killing without mercy!"
Li Yan took back the blood-dropping talisman sword, swept across the wailing villagers of Xiahe on the shore, and said word by word.
He actually didn't want Mr. Huang to live a few more days.
"Fellow Taoist really hates evil."
Xu Xiuyuan laughed dryly, and the role he played in this incident was not glorious.
If you really want to compare with Mr. Huang, it is nothing more than the difference between fifty and one hundred steps.
"Then these villagers..."
Xu Xiuyuan looked at the villagers of Xiahe with a nervous look and a pair of boys sleeping soundly on the desk, sought advice from Li Yan.
When he heard that his life was in the hands of the god of killing, the villagers who were injured by the ice needle on the shore felt that their bodies were no longer hurt, and they all got up and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy to Li Yan.
"The Immortal Master is clear, we are all forced by Huang Silang!"
"It's not bad, it's just that he threatens us. If he doesn't sacrifice to Hebo, Huang Silang won't plant the land for us. Without the land, we all have to drink the northwest wind."
"It's all Huang Silang's fault!"
...
For a moment, everyone seemed to have unified their attitudes and they all bite to death. It was Huang Silang who caused the trouble.
If the law does not blame the public, it is a matter of human sacrifice. If everyone clings to each other, according to the temper of this sword immortal, I am afraid that everyone present will have to close the gate of hell.
After all, it is used as sacrifices for boys and girls, but most people in the village are tacitly understood.
"Whose children are these boys and women?"
Sure enough, Li Yan asked the question that scared them the most.
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking about how to make up a life experience.
Li Yan picked out one of the villagers and asked Xu Xiuyuan to take him far away.
"Please take him to a distance and ask him. I will choose a villager to interrogate him. Whoever confesses first will spare his life. If he refuses to say that at that time, it will be considered as the whole village planning together, and it will not be a pity to kill them all."
"Those who sacrifice themselves will die!"
Xu Xiuyuan understood Li Yan's intention.
"Why do you need to make such trouble with fellow Taoists?"
The old Taoist chuckled and suddenly put a talisman on the head of the villagers.
The villagers were caught off guard and screamed in horror. However, they didn't know what Taoism they had used. They could clearly see the person's lips squirming, but no matter what, everyone present could not hear the words in his mouth.
"This is a concentric talisman. No matter what he says, only I can hear it. Similarly, this son can only hear me. The fellow Taoist picks one person and asks again."
The old Taoist smiled and glanced at the villagers of Xiahe Village present with a terrible taste.
"You come out with me."
Li Yan pointed to one of the people in the crowd again.
Of course he was not a random villager. The old Taoist questioned the most, and he wanted to speak several times just now.
As for the one I chose, I was much calmer and was not afraid of being called out of the crowd.
Such people are either born bold or fall into deep in this matter, which seems more like the second type in his opinion.
Sure enough, before Li Yan could even make an attack, the villager who had been given the consonant talisman by Taoist Qingyuan had already said everything in panic.
It turns out that this pair of boys and girls are not descendants of Xiahe Village.
Of course, Mr. Huang would not be so stupid as to offer sacrifices to his children from neighbors and outsiders.
The villagers just vaguely knew that these two children were twins bought by Mr. Huang from human traffickers outside the village at a high price. I heard that they cost a full ten taels of silver.
It doesn't matter to you, just hold on high.
It is related to one's own wealth and not to sacrifice one's descendants, so the villagers turn a blind eye.
As for the masterminds, except for Mr. Huang who was beheaded by Li Yan with a sword, all of them were pushed out of the crowd.
I am not dead and I am a fellow Taoist who has been killed by a few people in exchange for the entire village to survive. Naturally, the remaining villagers who have not been spotted can no longer agree.
Without Li Yan's instructions, he tied up these guys who used to be arrogant and prosperous.
Seeing that there was no hope of survival, those people simply gave up. Anyway, they were dead, so they simply became water ghosts and bit each other.
