Chapter 30 What is a Demon?
"Five, four, three..." The countdown continues.
Lu Qingshan did this because he had no time to stay here. Although this would make himself 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 Baihua Snake Village and wanted to settle the score with him, it would definitely be a day or two later.
With his speed, he would be far away from here in a day or two. The Three Thousand Mountains are so big. As long as he doesn't show up in other villages, how can Granny Golden Snake find him in a short time?
Not to mention that after sending Ni Mi back to Qingqiu, he would leave Sanqian Mountain.
So, he had no scruples.
"Two..." Lu Qingshan's voice gradually became cold and stern.
"Stop counting, 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 source of the sound. It was an old man about fifty years old, with a skinny face covered with ravines.
Due to long-term consumption of well water soaked in Poison Spirit Flowers, mortals in the Shaman Tribe generally have a short lifespan, and generally do not live to be fifty years old, so this old man is already considered to have a long life.
"Chu Mazi, Li Er... you all come out, what's the point of hiding? What kind of man is it if one person does the work and one person is responsible for it? If the whole family is implicated," Mr. Li shouted loudly.
Under Mr. Li's scolding, another thirty or forty villagers stood up with complex expressions on their faces, including young people in their twenties and middle-aged men in their thirties.
The old man walked at the front and led the villagers all the way to the high platform.
The other villagers silently moved to both sides to make way for them, and these people walked until they were in front of Lu Qingshan.
"We deceived the deer demon back to the village." Mr. Li raised his head and looked up at Lu Qingshan on the high platform, and said loudly: "Everyone is responsible for what he does. I hope that the wizard will keep his word and not anger our family members."
In the eyes of the villagers, monks are wizards.
Lu Qingshan did not answer, but turned his questioning eyes to Mi Mi.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Mi Mi called out twice.
King Xishu nodded to Lu Qingshan.
This means that the people who lured Mi Mi back to the village are all here, and there are no missing persons.
"You are infected with a poison that is difficult to treat with medicine and stone, and your lives are hanging by a thread. It was Mi Mi who saved you from danger. You are ungrateful. You have turned around and framed it to make it become what it is now. You are worse than a fool."
Even more hateful!" Lu Qingshan turned his head, looked at Mr. Li, and said coldly.
"Hateful? What's wrong with me? It's a demon, and we are humans. It's hard to stand up as a human-monster. Isn't it natural for humans to kill demons?" As if he knew his own inevitable end, the old man was fearless, with a full look in his eyes.
He said calmly and hoarsely.
King Xishu was so angry that he couldn't help but stood up, pointed at the old man's nose and yelled: "Should he be killed if he is a monster?"
"Yes! Those who are not of my race must have a different heart. Monsters are meant to die. They do all kinds of evil and massacre us mortals.
It is because of these monsters that we humans have to take highly poisonous well water every day, and most of the villagers will not survive until their destiny. Shouldn’t the monsters die?" Mr. Li asked in return.
Mr. Li's words seemed to arouse the same feelings in the hearts of many villagers, causing them to start talking involuntarily.
"Mr. Li's wife and children died at the hands of monsters." An insider whispered: "No wonder Mr. Li hates monsters so much."
Although the smell of Poison Spirit Flower can disgust monsters, it is not omnipotent. Therefore, even if they drink well water soaked in Poison Spirit Flower all year round, there are still many human beings who have died tragically at the hands of monsters.
"Mr. Li is right, those monsters have harmed our human race for so many years, they deserve to die!" A villager supported, his tone full of resentment.
"But...this deer demon..." Some villagers were hesitant.
…………
"But Mi Mi obviously saved your lives and is your savior!" King Xishu was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he asked directly without any hesitation.
"So what? Does this change the fact that it is a demon?" Mr. Li said calmly, looking at the furious King West Rat.
Hearing the old man's ridiculous words, King Xishu was so angry that he didn't know what to say. However, Lu Qingshan was not angry at all and even couldn't help laughing.
"Master Wizard, why are you laughing?" Mr. Li was puzzled.
"You are right," Lu Qingshan put away his smile, nodded, and said calmly: "If it is a monster, you must kill it."
"Lu Qingshan, you?!" King Xishu pointed at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.
"But, it's not a demon." Lu Qingshan turned his hand, and a sword energy shot out, instantly cutting off the old man's head and falling 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 the one!" Lu Qingshan looked at Mr. Li's body and said slowly.
Lu Qingshan's gaze was like a knife, scanning the remaining thirty or forty villagers one by one.
Some people bowed their heads and remained silent, some had resentment on their faces, and some had regrets on their faces. Their expressions varied.
"Today, I will kill a demon." Lu Qingshan murmured.
He raised his right hand, and a sword energy shot out from his fingertips again, turning into countless thin threads in the air and passing by the necks of those thirty or forty mortals.
In an instant, another thirty or forty heads fell to the ground, and their headless bodies fell into a pool of blood.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the field was bloody.
"Let's go." Lu Qingshan chopped off the heads and left without looking at the reactions of others, taking Mi Mi and King Xishu away.
He wanted to take Ni Mi back to Qingqiu as soon as possible.
…………
"Lu Qingshan, why did that old man refuse to admit his mistakes before he died?" King Xishu said in a confused voice.
"Because he really thought what he did was right."
"But, he is obviously wrong?" King Xishu couldn't understand.
"People's three views are different, and it is the most difficult to change a person's three views." Lu Qingshan was very calm.
"Well...that's it..." King Xishu was very depressed, obviously still unable to let go of Mr. Li's behavior.
"But, you just need to have a harder fist than him." Lu Qingshan said calmly: "I don't care if he really knows his mistake, or if he really feels guilty and reflects on it, I just care whether I can punish him.
.”
King Xishu fell into silence, seeming to realize something.
Ni Mi, who was on the side, looked at Lu Qingshan's big eyes and couldn't help but blink.
It feels that although Lu Qingshan and Grandpa Qingqiu, who saved it, are both good people, they are completely different.
It still couldn't tell the difference between the two, but it found that it could learn something very special from Lu Qingshan.
It's something Grandpa Qingqiu doesn't have, but it's a very useful thing.
Lu Qingshan was also a little dazed at this time.
Because, he discovered that after killing all those dozens of mortals, his killing sword intent had become even better.
The killing sword intent in his previous life was just a piece of data to him, so he only knew how to use it, but he was also confused about how to improve the sword intent.
