Chapter 152 The Monster That Eats Greed
Chapter 152 The Monster That Eats Greed
Yi Er listened to the whole story from beginning to end and was quite surprised at the man's sharpness.
"Have you ever done anything evil in the past? Have you ever hurt anyone or killed anyone?"
"When accepting missions from the Wulin League, he extorted money in various ways. Apart from fighting, he never hurt anyone or killed anyone."
Yi Er was even more surprised. He almost suspected that the truth talisman was broken and didn't work. The martial arts world today is not the same as it was a hundred years ago.
At that time, the imperial court was powerful and suppressed the martial arts world severely. Martial artists who injured others would be punished according to the law.
The martial arts world is a mess now. People in the martial arts world use their weapons to break rules at will, and killing people is commonplace. How could this guy named Liu never kill anyone for no reason?
Yi Er didn't quite believe it, so he tried several different ways of questioning, trying to find loopholes in his words.
In the end, I could only admit that the person in front of me was actually a rare moderate.
Apart from deducting some money within a certain range, he turned out not to be the kind of vicious person that Yi Er had imagined.
Tutu and Yi Er didn't know how to deal with this Liu.
Although he is not a bad person, he is indeed greedy for money. In order to occupy the wooden house, he drove the two little girls away from the wooden house.
Although you can say he is a bad person, he is not completely bad. He refused to hand the girl over to that perverted boss, and he also refused to let things develop and bully the two little girls.
If he is bad enough, just do it for him.
But this level is not enough to threaten his life. It seems that the law should be used to punish him for his financial gain.
However, the imperial court's control over the town was basically in name only, and it was the Wulin Alliance that maintained order in the town.
Tutu suggested to Yi Er that he should give him some pills. Tutu sent him one of each pill with strange effects, and passed it on when he had enough points. Fortunately, these pills were not expensive.
Yi Er thought about it and gave the man surnamed Liu a pill that made his whole body turn yellow. It didn't have any other effect except turning yellow, and then causing the skin to peel like sunburn. Taking only one pill wouldn't cause any serious peeling.
Send him back to the bench in the yard of the cabin, remove the truth charm, and erase his short-term memory.
Mr. Liu only remembered that he had eaten and drunk enough, so he went to the yard to relieve himself.
Then he used the dream-weaving talisman to weave dreams for him.
But I found a small piece of gold at my feet. Was it dropped by those two guys?
Hehe, if I pick it up, it’s mine.
Hey? There are some here and there. Is there a gold mine nearby?
He took off his clothes, wrapped up all the gold bars, and carried them on his back. The more he carried, the more gold bars he had. He felt like he couldn't carry it anymore.
Suddenly a voice came from the tree, "Why are you picking up my shit?"
A black animal shaped like a deer, with a tail, horse hooves and a single horn on its head, stood on a branch, tilted its head and looked at him and asked.
"Your shit is gold?" He was very surprised.
"Yes, but I only eat what I like," the little black animal jumped and shook its head.
"Then I'll help you find your favorite food, and give me all the gold you poop, okay?"
The little black creature agreed.
So he went all the way to look for the things it liked to eat, and promised it that he would find it all the food it liked.
He used all means and tactics along the way to seize and rob, and got whatever the black animals wanted to eat.
But the food it required became increasingly difficult to obtain, from green grass to mountain delicacies, from dew to nectar.
He felt more and more exhausted and wanted to leave with the gold he had saved.
The black animal disagreed, "I have cultivated my delicious main dish for so long, how can I just not let it eat it?"
He didn't understand why, so the little black animal came up to him and sniffed.
Suddenly it opened its mouth, which was larger than its body, and tried to swallow him from head to toe.
He struggled and asked, "Why do you want to eat me? I found countless food for you along the way. Why are you so ungrateful?"
The black animal closed its big mouth and pressed a paw on him, "What I ate along the way were just appetizers, and your ever-growing greed is my main course."
Then it will open its mouth wide and swallow him from head to toe.
A faceless man covered in white grabbed his feet and dragged him out of the bloody mouth.
Black animals are afraid of people with white light and dare not approach them.
He saluted the man who saved him, and asked, "Benefactor, why is it afraid of you and dare not approach?"
The man with white light all over his body pointed at the white light on his body and said, "It's not because you are afraid of me, but because of this light of merit."
Tutu couldn't continue her storytelling. She used the dream weaving talisman to control Liu's dream, but her imagination was exhausted.
Yi Er suggested, "Let him turn his body yellow and associate it with the black monster, saying it was the aftereffect of him almost being swallowed whole."
Tutu continued to fill in the gaps.
The man surnamed Liu was talking to a person covered in white light. He was not paying attention and was spit on by the black animal. "Hey, I marked you. I can find you wherever you go."
He was so frightened that he stepped on empty air and fell into the bottomless abyss. Suddenly, Liu woke up from his dream with a start, and he was so scared that he fell off the stool.
When I saw the empty yard and the familiar wooden house in front of me, I breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a dream.
He dragged his legs, weak from fear, back to the cabin, where the two men were still bragging and drinking.
When she heard him open the door and come back, she hurriedly greeted him, her expression gradually becoming horrified, "Brother Liu, you're back. How come I haven't seen you for a while? You look a lot worse, with a yellowish complexion."
Another person was also surprised, "Yes, Brother Liu, are you applying some health secret recipe?"
Liu looked puzzled, "I was just peeing, how could it be..."
He looked down and saw that his outstretched hands had turned yellow. He was shocked. There was no mirror in the cabin, so he ran to the water tank to have a look.
A man with burnt yellow skin appeared in the reflection. His skin color was even yellower than the people who painted yellow paint during temple fair performances.
"How could this be possible? This is not a dream."
Apparently he was thinking of the black animal in his dream that almost swallowed him and spit at him.
I don’t know if this yellowing of the whole body is a sign that the whole person will be turned into gold.
He was so scared that he started shaking all over, fearing that the black animal would break into his dream and take him away.
In a trance, he touched his black purse, and was so frightened that he quickly took it off and threw it aside.
The two people who were at the banquet were frightened by his change and left.
He hid in the wooden house, and when he saw the black shadows of the trees swaying outside through the crack in the door, he was terrified, fearing that a black monster would suddenly jump out.
He lit the wick, looked at the yellow-white light, and thought of the man with white light, the light of merit he talked about.
He was instantly enlightened. If he also had the light of merit, would he be able to escape the pursuit of the black animal?
He crawled over and grabbed his purse. He needed money to do good deeds, so even if he was disgusted by the darkness, he had to get the money back.
He tore off a piece of cloth, wrapped the purse, and prepared to return to town at daybreak.
Yi Er, who was hiding, followed quietly. Ever since he had his marrow cleansing, his skills had improved, and ordinary people in the martial arts world could not detect his tracking.
Then we went to Liu's yard and through system investigation, we found that his house was secretly watched by a group of people.
They called the leader Brother Fang.
