Chapter 166 How can the human heart be so vicious?
Originally, he wanted to come to the Taoist Academy to inquire about the crime, but it turned out that he was the man behind the scenes.
This made Xu Ke feel a little absurd in his astonishment.
In Xu Ke's memory, his parents in this life were both honest farmers and very responsible people.
Even if Xu Ke's status brought them a rise in status, it only improved their living conditions, and they wouldn't collude with the magic monks, right?
If you really want to have some spiritual needs, you can find a Taoist monastery at random, and as long as you say it, there will naturally be people to please them, so there is no need to collude with monks of the magic way?
So...the Kunwu Academy was built by my father, but the collusion with the monks of the magic way should not be done by him.
Of course, this is just speculation, and the truth needs to be verified.
After leaving the monastery, Xu Ke drove directly towards the direction of his hometown.
This time, Xu Ke naturally returned to his true colors.
Flying away in a hurry, Xu Ke came to Lingyuan County, Guzhou not long after.
Duan Guang hovered in the air, and Xu Ke looked down at Lingyuan County. The current Lingyuan County is completely different from the Lingyuan County eight years ago.
The city became bigger and more prosperous.
And... Lingyuan County is no longer called Lingyuan County, it has been renamed "Kunwu County".
Xu Ke's hometown in this life, that poor mountain valley, is also very different.
The poor mountain valley was used "mountain-moving magic power" to remove the hills in front and turn it into a fertile wilderness.
Behind is a big mountain, which has been named "Kunwu Mountain".
There is an exquisite and elegant mansion under the mountain, with double eaves and arches, carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, and surrounded by clear water in front.
A plaque is hung high at the gate of the house, with the inscription "Kunwu Mountain Villa".
One person attains enlightenment, chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
What's more, it's not chickens and dogs, but Xu Ke's parents and relatives.
With Xu Ke's current status, he doesn't even need to say anything. Naturally, someone will take care of these things for Xu Ke.
Xu Ke withdrew the invisible sword energy, revealed his figure, and landed in the direction of Kunwu Villa.
"Stop coming!"
On Kunwu Mountain behind Kunwu Villa, a figure flew over and stopped Xu Ke.
"This is the old house of Kunwu Zhenren's former residence. Unless you are not allowed to enter."
This man is wearing the standard Taoist robe of the Cangmang Xianmeng, with a flying sword on his back, and the spiritual power circulating in his body is clearly the Canglang Sword Qi of the Manghe Sword Sect.
Did you send someone to guard the mansion?
People from the Manghe Sword Sect, this should be what Master Youquan meant. His son is my apprentice, he must take good care of this former residence.
It's just... what the **** is the old house? The original old house was not so gorgeous.
Xu Ke smiled, bowed his hands to this person, "Thank you for the care. I am Xu Ke, and I am here... just to go home."
As he spoke, Xu Ke took out the two-sided identity token again. On one side is the order talisman of the Elder of the Cangmang Immortal Alliance, and on the other side is the order talisman of the former elder Keqing of the Manghe Sword Sect.
"Meet the real Kunwu."
Seeing these two tokens, the monk of the Manghe Sword Sect hurriedly bowed to Xu Ke.
Many of the monks of the Manghe Sword Sect had never met Xu Ke. It was normal for this person not to recognize Xu Ke for a while.
"There is no need to be too polite."
Xu Ke also quickly returned a salute, "Please take care of this place and my family. Thank you, Xu Ke."
Other people help you look after the house, so naturally you can't just say thank you.
Xu Ke took out a flying sword magic weapon and gave it as a thank you gift.
This person is also a foundation builder, and a flying sword magic weapon is already a terrifying gift.
This is mainly because...Xu Ke doesn't have anything lower at hand.
This magic weapon of the flying sword is something that was looted after killing fifteen Golden Core monks of the Five Plague Cult.
Xu Ke retrained the flying sword, transformed the five plague aura in the flying sword magic weapon into the water aura, and then took it out as a thank you gift.
"This...thanks to Master Kunwu for the reward."
A water-type flying sword magic weapon is a treasure that cannot be rejected by the sword cultivators of the Manghe Sword Sect.
The man hesitated for a moment, then bowed to thank Xu Ke, and accepted the gift.
Who said it is a hard job to guard Kunwu's ordinary hometown? No, isn't the benefit coming?
"It's time to work."
Xu Ke bowed his hands and saluted, said goodbye to the monk, and continued... to go home.
With such a sword cultivator from the Manghe Sword Sect guarding his hometown, Xu Ke can already confirm that it is impossible for his parents in this life to collude with the monks of the Demonic Dao.
Any magic monk who dares to approach will be killed with a sword.
The figure fell to the gate of the courtyard, Xu Ke reached out and knocked on the courtyard door.
The side door opened, and a middle-aged man in a well-dressed man poked his head out from the door, and said to Xu Ke, "This is Kunwu Villa, please do not enter unless you are. Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The concierge was full of genuine energy, and he was clearly a martial arts master with high martial arts skills.
The gatekeepers are all martial arts masters. This is the status improvement brought about by the rising tide.
"I'm Xu Ke, I'm here to...go home!"
Xu Ke cupped his hands to thank the concierge, "Thank you for taking care of the house for me."
"It turned out that the real Kunwu was in person, please forgive me for not being able to see Mount Tai."
The man hastily bowed and said, "At Xiaguzhou Inspection Department Xuncheng School Captain Wu Shanchuan, I pay my respects to the real Kunwu."
Well, this concierge is staffed and sent by Liang Guo officials.
"There is no need to be too polite, please get up quickly."
Xu Ke stretched out his hand to help the school lieutenant-level concierge, and searched for a while with his spiritual sense in the storage gourd, and found a bottle of healing pills for the Qi training period.
Xu Ke bought this a few years ago, and it has been kept in the storage gourd without cleaning it. Fortunately, I didn't clean it up, otherwise I wouldn't know what to give away.
"This is a bottle of healing pill for Qi training period."
Xu Ke handed the Healing Pill bottle to the concierge school Wei Wu Shanchuan, "Thank you for looking after Gu's house, it's just a small gift, please accept it with a smile."
"Thank you, Master Xu, for your reward."
Wu Shanchuan, the school gatekeeper, trembling with excitement, hastily reached out and took the bottle of elixir.
This is an "elixir"!
The healing elixir for qi training monks is a life-saving elixir for mortal warriors. Not only can it save lives, but it can also greatly increase the martial arts cultivation base, making it easier to break through the realm.
Putting away the elixir, the gatekeeper Wei Wu Shanchuan hurriedly opened the gate, and shouted into the yard: "Master Kunwu is coming home!"
After the shout, there was a sudden silence in the courtyard.
After everyone realized who the real Kunwu was, the whole house was boiling.
The steward, accountant, gardener, coachman, and servants from all walks of life came to the front yard to line up and bowed to Xu Ke.
Immediately, a group of servant girls, big and small, surrounded by Master Xu, Mrs. Xu, Young Master Xu, and Miss Xu, rushed towards the front yard in a hurry.
"Meet your father and mother."
Seeing everyone coming, Xu Ke hurriedly saluted his parents.
"Meet the real Kunwu."
All the maids paid homage to Xu Keshi one after another.
The younger siblings also hurriedly saluted Xu Ke.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Xu Ke walked into the backyard with his parents, siblings, and sat down in the hall.
"Son, you are still the same as before, nothing has changed!"
Mother looked up at Xu Ke, with tears in her eyes.
"My son is now a fairy, what hasn't changed?"
Father laughed, "It used to be so dark and thin, but now it looks like a fairy."
The younger siblings seemed a bit reserved.
No wonder.
When Xu Ke entered Xianmen, they were still young. Now that eight years have passed, it will inevitably seem a little rusty.
"It's just a little cultivation, not a fairy yet."
Xu Ke chatted with his parents with a smile, and said something to his younger siblings. The family quickly restored their original atmosphere, without the sense of alienation brought about by their status.
Under Xu Ke's heavenly eyes, neither his parents nor siblings could feel any aura of spiritual power, let alone any aura of magic.
This shows that...the parents and younger siblings are ordinary people without spiritual roots, and it further proves that the matter of colluding with magic monks and selling virgins should have nothing to do with them.
"Father, I heard that you built a Kunwu Temple near Liangcheng? What's going on?"
After talking with his family for a while, Xu Ke directly asked the reason for this incident.
"Liangcheng...Kunwuguan..."
Father frowned and thought about it, as if he hadn't thought clearly, and asked, "Where is Liangcheng?"
Well, that's not surprising.
He was originally just an honest farmer, but in the past few years, Xu Ke's status has improved, which has brought about changes.
The time is too short, and my father obviously hasn't left the level of knowledge of a farmer in the country.
"Liangcheng is the capital of Liang State."
The second brother next to him took over the conversation and reminded his father.
"Oh, Guodu, I remembered."
Only then did my father recall it, and he said to Xu Ke: "That's what happened. About two or three years ago, an immortal master came to visit. He said he was from your same sect, and his surname seemed to be Wang. "
"This Immortal Master Wang said, you have achieved success in cultivation now, and you are a big shot in Xianmen. In order to show that you are from Liang State, and let Liang State have a backer, you want to use my name to build a Kunwu Temple in the capital."
"When others see this Kunwu Temple, they will not dare to take Liang Guo's idea, and Liang Guo will be stable."
"I was thinking, Liang Guo will not be bullied by others, and everyone will be able to settle down without fighting. That is of course a good thing."
Father looked up at Xu Ke, and asked: "You are asking this question now, is there something wrong with this Kunwu Temple?"
"Nothing, just curiosity, just ask casually."
Xu Ke smiled, changed the subject, and stopped talking about these things with his family.
However, Xu Ke was still thinking about who this monk surnamed Wang was.
Claiming to be from the same sect, and able to pass the approval of the monks of the Manghe Sword Sect guarding this place, it must be true, and must be from the Haoyang School.
Haoyangzong, surnamed Wang, Wang Changqing, deputy head of the Sinong Hall, has now arrived at the Southern Xinjiang Plague Department and is in charge of farming affairs within the territory of the Five Plague Sect.
Is there any fellow surnamed Wang?
Maybe the father didn't hear clearly, or didn't remember clearly, maybe it wasn't Wang.
Huh? Wait, there really is a fellow surnamed Wang.
When I was farming in Hedongfang, there was a senior brother Wang Youren who was greedy for petty gain and timid.
At the beginning, Senior Brother Wang and Gao Zhengzhi encountered a tide of beasts in the gravel field, and it was Xu Ke who rescued them.
Because Wang Youren was getting old, and later retired to his hometown, Xu Ke also asked him to copy some exercises from the Qi training period and the foundation building period, and asked him to take them back to his hometown to start a practice family.
So... this matter has something to do with Wang Youren?
He colluded with evil cultivators and trafficked boys and girls?
Wouldn't it be? Even if he is greedy for petty gain and sells boys and girls, how much money can he make? How could he do such a thing for so little money?
The matter has not yet been concluded, and Xu Ke has not speculated randomly for the time being.
It is also very easy to find out the truth about this kind of thing, just go to Wang Youren's house and take a look.
Afterwards, Xu Ke continued to talk to his family.
It wasn't until after dinner and after each of them rested that Xu Ke drove the invisible sword escape and flew away silently.
Where Wang Youren's hometown is, Xu Ke naturally doesn't know.
However, this kind of matter is easy to solve, as long as you send a message to Zongmen, you will receive the news immediately.
A moment later, Xu Ke received the news that he knew the address of Wang Youren's hometown.
Wang Youren's hometown is called Kezhou, which is located in the western border of Liang State, at the junction with Chen State.
The distance is a bit far. In order to go back quickly, Xu Ke directly used the Lingbao Hunyuan Yiqi Absolute Beginning Rune to drive the invisible sword escape, which exploded at an extremely fast light escape speed.
Soon after, Xu Ke came to Wangjiabao on the border of Kezhou.
This is Wang Youren's hometown.
Hovering in mid-air, Xu Ke looked down at the Wangjiabao below, and then...a demonic aura oozing with scarlet blood lingered in the Wangjiabao, vaguely, it seemed that there were countless resentful souls crying and wailing .
Blood Sea Magic?
Wang Youren is really possessed?
Xu Ke frowned tightly, what is the reason?
Looking at the origin of the blood sea devil energy, Xu Ke flickered, and floated down silently, landing in Wangjiabao.
Following the traces of the magic air flow, Xu Ke came all the way to the back mountain of Wangjiabao, and walked into a cave that was closed by a formation.
The scene in front of him... made Xu Ke's eyes widen, and his anger was soaring.
This is a alchemy house.
On the stone platform in the middle of the cave, stands a tall alchemy cauldron, and the scarlet blood light is tumbling and lingering in the alchemy cauldron.
Around the Danding stone platform, there is a pool of blood.
The churning blood was like a tidal wave. Between the surging blood waves, countless young corpses were exposed.
Thousands of children's corpses, appearing or disappearing in the waves of the pool of blood, their young faces are blue and hideous, as if they are complaining to God for their grievances.
How vicious this is!
How cruel this is!
What evil is this!
Xu Ke's anger was like a volcano that had been backlogged to its limit, and the churning anger surged crazily in his heart.
Man, how can he be so evil?
How can the human heart be so vicious?
Wang Youren, you are dead!
Xu Ke clenched his fist tightly, his joints creaking.
Kunwu Temple... Hehe, what a Kunwu Temple!
What a classmate of the real Kunwu, such a good friend of the real Kunwu.
Such an evil and vicious thing, such a utterly unconscionable thing, is still acting in the name of Lao Tzu?
Do you think you are living too comfortably, and want to taste what it is like to die?
