Chapter 33 Crossing the City and Shopping
It is not only demons that are terrible in the world, but the human heart is sometimes more terrible than demons.
On the way back, passing through a certain village, the official sent to forcibly take away the grain from the farmer's house, which is called tax grain, the old man knelt on the ground and wept, and the young child with withered hair was frightened and hid behind his back to stare at the grain......
Levy Ding, poor villages do not see young and strong, levy grain, women and children have vegetables, and huge villages do not hear the crowing of chickens and do not see ploughing cattle.
The old man's calloused old hand grabbed the grain bag and was unwilling to let go, the girl cried loudly, the official raised the leather whip and whipped fiercely, and suddenly the coarse cloth clothes were torn and the back was bloodstained and red, the child was distressed that the grandfather pounced on him and resisted the leather whip with his small body, and the villagers stepped forward to intercede, the old man's son did not return for three years, and the daughter-in-law was tired and went early, and that bit of food was the life food of the grandson.
Xu Ling wanted to make a move but was stopped by Yang Mu, as pure yang disciples, they wanted to avoid the suspicion of winning people's hearts, and the provincial and secular imperial power conflicted, Bai Yujun didn't care so much.
The horses neighed, and Naruto stood up.
The officials were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, and when they saw the two Pure Yang monks sitting on the horses next to them, they also saw that it was a young girl who was scaring them.
"Exempt them from the tax on grain. Bai Yujun said lightly.
Originally, it had nothing to do with snakes, but it just didn't like it.
"Immortals, we collect taxes according to the law, and if we can't collect them, the official will punish us and others, and please forgive me." One of the servants replied.
It is not surprising that the little official dares to directly refute Bai Yujun's behavior that looks like a monk of the Pure Yang Palace, everyone knows that the pure Yang monk does not care about the world and cultivates wholeheartedly, as long as he does not practice evil arts and does not do evil, he will not care much, for the sake of reputation, even if you occasionally contradict a few words, it is fine, unlike other sect monks who kill people without saying a word, to put it bluntly, they are all used to it.
Bai Yujun stared at the little official curiously, and found that the little official was not only not afraid, but also looked at it with lustful eyes.
"Two choices, first, I'll kill you, and second, get out of here. ”
The officials were stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the monk didn't have to pay for his life when he killed someone, and immediately stumbled away, Bai Yujun pouted, it seems that the law of the forest is more useful.
The people stepped forward to thank them, but Bai Yujun didn't say anything and rode his horse and left directly.
looked at Yang Mu and Xu Ling, who were a little hesitant.
"In the future, if someone talks about today, they will say that I did it. ”
After a pause, he said again.
"The real demon is not the outside, but the heart. ”
Bai Yujun knows history that the number of people who have really been killed by demons is only a few, on the contrary, the death of millions of people caused by human persecution and even the so-called struggle for world domination is millions and even extermination, and the demons in people's hearts are more terrible than spirits.
However, these have nothing to do with snakes, they are human things.
Returning to the station at night, the senior brother and the others who went out to subdue demons and eliminate demons had not yet returned, Xu Ling yawned and went back to his room to sleep, and Yang Mu seized the time to cultivate as always.
Sometimes Bai Yujun felt that Xu Ling must be a genius in Tianzhong, and he was lazy and stupid every day, and his cultivation was not much worse than that of the diligent Yang Mu.
Bai Yujun is a snake who doesn't have to sleep every day, sitting alone in the backyard under the moonlit night to practice playing the flute, it's a pity that this kind of vassal and elegant work makes the white snake who is good at hunting and killing about to go crazy, grab the flute and smash it......

In the room, Yang Mu shook his head.
"There are three left. ”
............
The next day, the people who went out still did not come back.
After discussing with the two of them, they felt that they would go to the city to go shopping, buy some snacks and watch the juggling, and they said that they would leave, and after saying a word to the temple, they staggered down the mountain.
"Fragrant pear ~ fragrant and sweet fragrant pear ~"
"Baked cakes ~ Freshly cooked cakes ~ Delicious and healing~"
Of course, in addition to leisure, there is also the sound of not having enough to eat.
"Uncle...... Give me some money for food......"
Ducheng is very lively, caravans come and go endlessly, busy commerce has created a prosperous city, in order not to be stared at Bai Yujun and Xu Ling bought gauze to wear on their faces to cover their mouths and noses, at least to reduce the wild bees and butterflies who think they are a beautiful son.
Bai Yujun and Yang Mu Xu Ling looked no more than fifteen years old, especially Bai Yujun's petite figure was only about one meter five, and the two beauties were eating and chatting while holding rock sugar gourds in their hands, and most of the time Xu Ling was talking to himself.
In ancient times, fifteen years old was already one or two years old, and there were not many people who could come out to hang out.
Turning all the way, Bai Yujun didn't have the idea of staying away from Yang Mu and Xu Ling, there are too many monks who have been thinking about subduing demons and eliminating demons all day long, not to mention whether the motive is true or false, once no one takes care of it, it's just that the snake cultivates for himself How to face those monks, after being killed, make dried snakes and sell them as traditional Chinese medicine to patients to dispel wind and drive away evil spirits and rheumatism.
What do you want......
On the street, a young man with a black stick on his back hurried away, holding a compass and turning left and right.
As he walked, he found that the pointer was still, and when he looked up, he found that the pointer was pointing to a girl in a white dress, and then, he perfectly expressed the set of action slogans that a demon slayer should have.
"Well! In broad daylight, the demons dare to enter the city! Stop hurting people's lives! Don't hurry up and surrender the law!"
With a bang, a black iron rod flashed and pointed directly at Bai Yujun.
Bai Yujun was speechless with a sugar gourd in his hand......
I didn't expect that someone would come to the door so soon to subdue demons and eliminate demons, isn't it true that few people can see through the breath?
Seeing that the young man's cultivation was not high, Bai Yujun stopped Yang Mu and Xu Ling, and his eyes rolled and he remembered a bad idea.
The rock sugar gourd fell to the ground, holding her hands on her shoulders and whimpering in horror, like a frightened delicate and weak woman......
The corners of Yang Mu's mouth twitched and stayed away two steps for fear of being considered an accomplice, Xu Ling was sluggish, in her opinion, how could a fierce snake make such a frightened appearance.
The young man was stunned, a little confused.
When did you meet a monster in the past, it wasn't a fierce god and a vicious fight, how did you meet such a coward?
Immediately, the original demon subjugation became a strong man bullying a girl from a good family on the street.
There is never a shortage of righteous people in the world, especially the one who is bullied is a delicate young lady, and immediately, many men and even scholars burst forward with a sense of justice, and even those eldest sisters and aunts also stood in the distance and pointed at the young man.
"What's the matter, if you see someone pretty, you want to bully me, come and bully me!" a strong man didn't like it.
"You also know that in broad daylight, you have met Zhang Tongju, the Yamen, and you will definitely be sent to see the official!" a certain scholar said righteously.
"Too much! Too much! I've seen a lot of people like you! Womanizer!" a merchant shouted.
The situation changed too quickly, and the exorcist, who thought that he could get the support of everyone, obviously did not experience such a scene, and it was not miserable to be surrounded by a group of people and smashed cabbage stones.
"Listen to me...... Ouch...... That's a youkai......"
Onlookers weren't buying it
"What a monster! It's clear that you want to flirt with someone who is beautiful and want to fight!"
No one noticed the chaotic scene, Bai Yujun ran away without a trace, and ran into the distance Bai Yujun and Xu Lingle laughed, and Yang Mu's thousand-year-old iceberg cheeks twitched.
