Dark clouds chased Lin Yi under the moonlight. If he had caught him, he might have made a good story, but unfortunately, Lin Yi ran too fast, and the dark clouds were exhausted and could not catch up.
Lin Yi walked against the wind, running like lightning, and arrived at Lingling County at dawn.
At this time, he checked Madam Poison's status again.
"Fighting with someone, but failing to injure him at all, he was exhausted and fled in panic."
After fighting for so long, the result finally came to an end. I don’t know which ruthless person fought with her. Judging from the description, the other person’s moral character should be much higher than Madam Poison’s.
Although I don’t know where that person came from, it would be nice if I could teach Madam Du a lesson. At least, Ji Yi’s side would be safe.
Not having to worry about the threat from Madam Poison for the time being, Lin Yi began to look for a temporary shelter in Lingling County.
Lingling County is different from Xingsha County. It is mountainous, has dangerous roads, and has less fertile farmland. Naturally, it is not as prosperous as Xingsha County. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Transportation is too important for the development of a place.
Fortunately, there are gains and losses. The backer can eat the mountain, and the hunters can take the mountain products and sell them in the city, which is a good income. However, there are not many rich people in the city. Compared with other places, the mountain products here are also very cheap.
When Lin Yi was walking around, he smelled the smell and walked to the market. Looking around, there were many kinds of wild animals, some were three years old, some were five years old, and some were ten years old. There was no animal protection law in this era. People
I can't even eat anymore, so of course I'll eat whatever I catch.
It's just that Ji Yi looked at the animals trapped in the cages. They were all pitiful and lost their appetite for a while.
No wonder the sage said that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Although he will say how delicious it is when he eats meat, he still feels a little unbearable in his heart when he sees these fresh lives coming to an end.
Lin Yi quickened his pace and was about to leave the market. He also thought about buying them and releasing them, but he thought that this is a world with monsters. What if the animals he released became monsters in the future and he wanted to kill people?
Does cause and effect really have nothing to do with him?
Forget it, out of sight is out of mind.
When leaving the market, Ji Yi also saw a middle-aged man holding a bamboo basket wrapped in cloth. After he appeared, the hunters selling mountain products looked at him with admiration and envy. Ji Yi
I can't help but wonder what's inside.
While he was staring, he suddenly heard a sharp sound, and then, the cloth of the cage that the middle-aged man was holding was lifted, and a crack in the lid was exposed, and a black and white snake ejaculated rapidly.
It came out and went straight towards the man's neck.
This incident happened so unexpectedly that the man had no time to react. The snake was so fast that it was about to bite the man's neck when a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and grabbed the snake's head.
Because he was too scared, Ji Yi squeezed the snake to death.
Ever since he was a child, Ji Yi has been most afraid of snakes. He is not afraid of ghosts, but of snakes, whether they are poisonous or not.
The reason was that when he was a child, he woke up one time and found that the end of his foot was cold. He subconsciously rubbed it with his foot. It was slippery and greasy. When he was still wondering what it was, he felt a pain in his ankle.
, then a yellow and black body swam away in a hurry.
At that time, he remembered that after being bitten by a snake in the TV series, people move their mouths to suck out the venom, so he cried and tried to suck his own feet, but he couldn't suck it in. He felt that he was going to die and cried anxiously.
Later I learned that it was a non-venomous snake and could not bite anyone, but its slippery feel still became a shadow of Ji Yi's childhood.
Even though he was a cultivator and had practiced Taoism for more than 2,000 years, Ji Yi was still afraid of snakes. However, it was still important to save people, so he hurriedly took action, but accidentally used too much force.
At this moment, the poisonous snake has become poisonous snake sauce.
Lin Yi quickly dropped the snake, not caring whether anyone came to show his holiness. He took a picture of the magic talisman and gave himself a thousand waves.
The power of this rune can probably kill an ordinary person. A practitioner with a relatively low level of cultivation will have his hands and feet cut off if he is beaten, but Ji Yi's defense is high and it is just right to wash his hands.
After washing it, I burned it again, and then I felt much better and no longer felt fuzzy.
Lin Yi was too smooth when doing these operations, and others were still confused. He had already experienced both the ice and fire worlds after losing the snake.
The middle-aged man also knew that it was Ji Yi who saved him. He choked with red eyes and said, "Thank you for saving me."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, ah, is it necessary to be so moved?
At this moment, Lin Yi was a little moved. Who said that poor mountains and harsh waters lead to unruly people? The folk customs in this place are obviously very simple!
With this thought in his mind, Lin Yi still comforted him: "It's just a little effort, it won't be a big deal."
The man couldn't help covering his face and said in shame: "I did it for my son. In order to pay for his mother's medical treatment, he went to the mountains to catch snakes without telling me. The snake was caught and he was bitten to death. This snake
My child paid for it with his life, but I didn't take it seriously..."
Ah this...
Lin Yi looked at the snake he had thrown away, and quickly picked it up and said, "Don't cry, look, the snake is still here, but its head is missing."
"..."
The man didn't know what to say. He just covered his face and cried. However, the hunter selling pheasants next to him said with some sympathy: "A live snake costs ten gold, and a dead snake costs less than a thousand gold. It is worthless when it is dead."
It was really a little weird just now. Normally, the snake would not move when it was in the basket and covered with light, and the lid was tightly closed, so how come it suddenly jumped out?"
After hearing what the person next to him said, Ji Yi almost understood.
This man's snake is very valuable, but it is indeed a deadly thing. He just saved him, but killed his snake. Naturally, it is difficult for him to ask the savior for compensation. He also thinks of his son who died trying to catch the snake, and his family.
Only a sick wife would cry so desperately.
Lin Yi stepped in and felt that it was indeed quite difficult for him.
Most of the suffering in the world comes from poverty.
Hemp ropes are specially cut at the thinnest places, and bad luck often seeks out those who are suffering. This man's son died, and he has no money for his wife's medical treatment. I'm afraid he won't be able to get over it when he goes back.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ji Yi sighed inwardly, but patted him on the shoulder and said: "I killed this snake, I will compensate you."
"How did this happen?"
Having said that, the man was still a little moved.
Ji Yi could see that he actually wanted it, but he was embarrassed to accept it. He should not ask for Ji Yi's money due to emotions and reasons, but Lin Yi took the initiative to give money. With money, he could save his life, or
It would be difficult for him to forcefully refuse the life of his own family.
"Ten gold is nothing more than fur to me."
While talking, Ji Yi also complained, this is not superficial, this is my salary for the past twenty months!
After the salary of a contemporary chief arrester increased, he ran away before receiving his salary. He bought two houses and had no place to live.
Really miserable.
Alas, it doesn't matter, since he has long stopped living on that salary, ten or twenty months doesn't matter.
If he spends so much money outside, He Dong will definitely blame him when he looks back.
"Master Immortal, just hardware is enough. My mother-in-law's illness can be cured with just hardware."
Just now, many people saw the part where Ji Lin Yi performed washing hands with water and fire. If a man doesn't know Lin Yi's identity, it is always right to call him an immortal master.
He was not greedy either. He only wanted half of it, but Ji Yi still stuffed all ten gold into the man Hei Buliuqiu's hand.
"I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
Ji Yi left the money and didn't want to see others looking at him with grateful eyes, so he left the scene quickly. By the way, he also wanted to catch the guy behind the scenes.
You're trying to trick someone in front of a first-grade expert and you still want to run away?
In just a few breaths, Ji Yi came to a man wearing a long coat. The man also held a piccolo in his hand. The harsh sound just now should have been made by this thing.
What surprised Ji Yi was that this was not a demon.
He thought it was a snake demon causing trouble just now, so he rushed over excitedly. No matter how many years of Taoism he had, he would earn it if he brushed it. Even if he gave out ten gold, it would not be a loss. Unexpectedly, the demon subduing spectrum did not respond. It was either a demon puppet or a puppet.
It's a real person.
"Who are you and why do you want to harm people?"
The sudden appearance of Lin Yi startled the man. He also recognized Ji Yi as the immortal master who blocked him. Now that someone came to his door, he was naturally frightened and quickly defended himself: "I
I didn’t want to harm anyone, I just wanted to save the snake.”
Ji Yi's eyes suddenly became very strange.
Why, do I look like Silly Baitian?
He is relatively kind to ordinary people, but he has never shown mercy to criminals. How can he understand a witch with one knife?
"Why do you want to save a snake? In order to save a snake, you want to kill a person. Are you a human or a monster?"
Lin Yi said, pulling out a knife from the cloud bag and preparing to chop it.
"Great Immortal, please forgive me. My name is Xu Yan. I live in Wangshan Town, ten miles outside the city. I am a human, not a monster!"
Xu Yan was worried that Ji Yi would treat him as a monster and kill him. He was just a mortal, how could he withstand Ji Yi's fear.
Lin Yi withdrew the knife in front of his neck. The matter was not clear, and Lin Yi did not really want to kill him, but he did not take the knife back and continued to question: "Since we are human beings, why should we fight with others?"
enemy?"
"I just feel sorry for those snakes."
Xu Yan was shaking all over and stuttered: "I know that man, his name is Zhang Quan. He specializes in catching snakes. He often sells snakes in the city. How pitiful those snakes are. He didn't do anything wrong by staying in the mountains.
He was going to be caught and eaten. I just wanted to release the snake, I didn’t want to kill him."
"That's reasonable. Then tell me, if you were just an ordinary farmer, why would you know how to control snakes? You don't really think I look easy to deceive, do you? Judging from your simple clothes, you shouldn't be from a wealthy family.
But the skin is tender and the meat is tender, with no trace of hard work.
Come on, let me guess, are you really mentally ill and overflowing with compassion, or have you made an ulterior deal with something behind your back?"
Hearing this, Xu Yan suddenly turned pale.
At first, when he saw that Lin Yi was so polite to Zhang Quan and even paid for it out of his own pocket, he thought that Lin Yi was a newly minted practitioner. The characteristics of this type of person were simplicity, chivalrous heart, and generosity.
I thought that as long as I gave a reasonable reason, I should be able to escape the disaster, but I didn't expect that this person would reveal his true identity right away.
Facing Lin Yi's questioning, Xu Yan couldn't say a word. Lin Yi rubbed the back of the knife and said, "I'll give you two choices. One, I'll chop you up right now. The second, take me to see you."
