Chapter 37 They are all kind people
As evening approached, the people of Risheng City left their homes one after another. Some set up stalls on the streets, while others picked and chose ornaments on the stalls with their families. Children held their parents' hands and pointed anxiously at the sugar figures on the stalls. The scene looked extremely lively.

A lot of people gathered in front of the Yellow Crane Tower.

Every year during the Fireworks Festival, the Yellow Crane Tower holds a lantern riddle guessing competition, and the generous prizes attract many people.

Li Yanmo and Jian Xin were also among them. In order to avoid being separated by the crowded crowd, Li Yanmo kept holding Jian Xin's right hand and observed Jian Xin's expression with his peripheral vision, trying to judge Jian Xin's interest in those stalls through Jian Xin's micro-expressions and gaze.

The good news was that Li Yanmo was sure that Jian Xin was in a good mood and enjoying himself at the moment, but the bad news was that Li Yanmo couldn't tell at all which stall Jian Xin was in a good mood because of.

When Li Yanmo was worrying, a loud noise was heard and the originally slow flow of people suddenly surged in one direction. Even the people who were preparing to guess riddles in front of the Yellow Crane Tower were attracted over there.

In order to avoid getting separated, Li Yanmo quickly bent down and picked up Jian Xin.

Although she had started to grow, Jian Xin was still petite and delicate compared to the tall and strong Li Yanmo, so he picked Jian Xin up quite easily.

White hair fell from Li Yanmo's face. Although it was only for a moment, Li Yanmo seemed to see Jian Xin smile, which made Li Yanmo even more confused.

Could it be that his apprentice actually likes to be in a lively environment?
Although he didn't understand it, Li Yanmo didn't forget his current situation.

The reason why such a big commotion was caused was most likely the work of Li Qiu and his men.

After walking along the crowd for a while, Li Yanmo indeed heard Li Qiu's greeting.

"Come on! Take a look! Today I'm going to do some charity, open my warehouse and give away some money, and give everyone a chance to win!"

Before seeing anyone, Li Yanmo, as a cultivator, saw the righteous energy of heaven and earth that reached all the way to the sky.

Nowadays, the righteousness of heaven and earth only looks at actions, regardless of what is in one's heart. Opening warehouses and distributing wealth is naturally a good thing, not to mention that Li Qiu was not a good person before.

As the saying goes, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly.

The feedback of the righteousness of heaven and earth was so terrifying. Although Li Qiu's voice was trembling and he sounded extremely collapsed, the righteousness of heaven and earth did not care whether Li Qiu was reluctant or not. Li Qiu did it anyway, and the same situation happened to Li Qiu's accomplices.

The fireworks have not yet been set off, but the flowers of righteousness of heaven and earth have already bloomed on the ground.

At this moment, Jian Xin suddenly lowered his head and whispered in Li Yanmo's ear, "Master, something is wrong with some people."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Li Yanmo knew that those people were most likely Lei arranged by the Demon Immortal Cult.

However, the Demon Fairy Cult will not take action now.

If you want to completely expose the corruption of the people in Risheng City, you must make them realize what benefits they can gain by no longer abiding by the rules and indulging in their desires. The best way to do this is to make a comparison, let everything proceed step by step, accumulate the anxiety in the hearts of others, and then scramble for it.

Unfortunately, those mines did not have a chance to explode.

Seeing more and more people coming, Li Qiu almost fainted.

The more people came, the more money he would lose. But thinking of the sunk costs, Li Qiu could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Just as Li Qiu was about to raise his arm and start distributing his wealth, several constables suddenly flew over and landed next to Li Qiu.

Li Qiu panicked, but soon calmed down.

Not to mention that there are so many banners hanging in his house that were personally distributed by the prefect. He is not committing a crime now, so what can the military office say?
Zuo Buqun, who was hiding in the dark, was also startled, but he felt the same as Li Qiu.

Li Yanmo's idea was perfect. Even if Bingmen knew what they were going to do, it would be useless.

Just when Zuo Buqun was feeling proud, the constable who had stepped on the stage of foundation building unfolded a piece of paper and began to read. What he was reading was the law of Dayu. His foundation building cultivation was enough for everyone to hear what he said.

The followers of the Demon Fairy Cult who were hiding in the crowd were a little confused, but as they listened, they suddenly realized that these laws seemed to be directed at them, and they immediately found it funny.

Would these followers of the Demon Immortal Cult be afraid of having their property confiscated by the military? Would they be afraid of being barred from taking the imperial examinations for three generations? Would they be afraid of being imprisoned?
At this time, another monk came out.

Zuo Buqun was startled, but only for a moment.

I think the military would take some action, most likely because this monk saw through Li Yanmo's plan.

But when it comes to good and evil, corruption, and the evil of human nature, Buddhists will become consumed by internal turmoil, entangled in cause and effect, and ultimately choose to stand by and watch. Even if they know someone is trying to distort right and wrong, they will just let it develop. Nowadays, when they appear, the most they can say is a dry "donor, please stop doing bad things."

Thinking of this, Zuo Buqun folded his arms across his chest and cast a nonchalant and contemptuous look at the kind-looking monk.

The monk spoke slowly.

"Everyone, have you ever heard of the oil pan hell?"

The Fireworks Festival was supposed to be a joyous and lively occasion, but the monk's opening words seemed to throw everything back to the coldest days of early spring. As if unable to see the expressions of the audience, the monk vividly described the scene of the oil pan hell.

Li Yanmo didn't know what level of cultivation Daohai had, but Leng Ningshuang used the term "a monk of this level" to describe Daohai.

Li Yanmo initially thought that it referred to cultivation, but when Daohai spoke seriously, Li Yanmo discovered Daohai's terrifying side. Every word Daohai said carried a strange magical power, which made people feel peaceful and forget about trivial matters. Only Daohai's voice remained in their ears.

Whether you are a Buddha or a devil, there is only one step away.

No wonder those demons can learn Buddhism.

The expressions of the people in the audience changed. They were not fools and they could naturally see that the constable and the monks were working in unison to prevent them from looting.

At this time, Dao Hai emphasized again, "This donor, Li Qiu, not only received the prefectural banner, but also received the righteous energy of heaven and earth. Now he is opening his warehouse to distribute wealth and improve the lives of the people in Risheng City. He is a person of great compassion and mercy rarely seen in a century."

"If you do evil to him, your sin will be multiplied five, six, seven, or eight times!"

"but--"

Dao Hai rolled his eyes and smiled gently again.

"I see that Sunrise City is full of auspiciousness and righteousness. I believe that everyone present here is not such a bad person. I am sorry for doing this."

The people of Risheng City below the stage also began to complain.

"Yes, yes! How could we be that kind of people!"

The followers of the Demon Immortal Cult who were mixed in with the common people all had cold sweats on their foreheads.

The atmosphere was tense. If they suddenly rushed out to loot, they would probably be regarded as fools by the people of Risheng City, and the soldiers and constables standing at the gate would probably arrest them immediately.

Li Yanmo, who was holding Jian Xin, smiled leisurely.

The Demon Fairy Cult's plan was over.

The demon relic is indeed a very powerful trump card, but no matter how powerful it is, it still needs the greedy atmosphere in the Risheng City.

If they could launch it directly, the Demon Immortal Cult wouldn't have to cultivate greed in Sunrise City and risk being caught by the military. Isn't it easy to find animals in the vast world? At worst, wouldn't it be easier to just have the vendors gather the animals in a deserted wilderness?

Therefore, talent is the most critical part of the Demon Fairy Cult's plan.

But this link has been blocked.

As Li Qiu called out in a tearful voice, citizens of Risheng City came up one after another and took the silver bills.

Li Yanmo didn't need that little bit of money, so he didn't go on stage to join in the fun.

Just when Li Yanmo was thinking about finding a place to watch the fireworks, someone suddenly called Li Yanmo from behind.

"Brother Li, it's rare for you to offer us advice. I never thought that the military sect and the Buddhist sect would join forces."

Li Yanmo's expression froze slightly. He turned his head and saw that it was Zuo Buqun who called him.

Zuo Buqun was annoyed and regretful at this moment, but not desperate at all. He even took the initiative to comfort Li Yanmo.

"But don't worry, the demon fairy will not forget your contribution and sincerity. After the task is completed, I will definitely give you a reward."

Li Yanmo's pupils shrank slightly.

Done?

The righteousness of heaven and earth now only considers actions. As long as the people do not commit any evil deeds, they will not disperse from Risheng City. With the righteousness of heaven and earth suppressing them, the spirit of greed and extravagance will not grow at all.

But why was Zuo Buqun able to say that things would be done?

Bunches of fireworks shot up into the sky, and the remaining flames fell, illuminating the monks walking in the air. Even after the fireworks fell, the fire of greed in their eyes became more and more vigorous, and the originally abundant righteousness of heaven and earth began to become unstable.

Monk! ?
Li Yanmo finally realized what he had missed.

He wasn't the only one tempted by the idea of slaying demons to refine his cultivation.
