[Douluo] Demon God's Road to Godhood

On the carriage, the old man was also sighing. He seemed to be talking to himself, or specifically to Feng Tianyu. The old man said: "In today's world, there are all kinds of people. They just want to make money in one sentence." 100 taels of silver, just want to get something for nothing."

Feng Tianyu didn't say anything, because he didn't know what to say. He seemed to be thinking: Although he could afford 100 taels of silver to buy a word from the Taoist priest, a copper plate was still money. Think about this As an old coachman, he works so hard to make money, so why should he trust others and spend money freely and lavishly?

The old man was still holding a breath in his heart, as if he couldn't let go until he said something.The old man added: "When you encounter such a person, it's best to ignore him. If you continue to struggle with him, you will suffer the consequences after all. Alas, if there were fewer such people in the world, it would be much peaceful! What a disaster is coming. , that is simply a pretense to deceive people. If there is a real disaster, then..."

Before the old man finished speaking, there was a sudden shaking and noise, and the horse, carriage and people fell into a large pit about one foot high.How could a huge crater suddenly collapse on a perfectly smooth mountain road?This was obviously a trap dug by someone in advance.The horse was frightened, roared to the sky, and acted extremely manic; the old man seemed to be injured, and finally got up from the ground, but he kept sighing, as if he regretted not listening to what the Taoist priest had to say; Some dilapidated carriages were now completely damaged, with one wheel falling off; Feng Tianyu got out of the broken carriage. He seemed to be fine, but the expression on his face was strange and shocked. , there are also doubts.

Is this the impending disaster that the Taoist priest said?Who designed this trap?Could it be that Taoist priest?If it weren't for him, how could he have said the words "disaster is coming" without warning?

Before Feng Tianyu had time to think carefully, a group of people suddenly rushed out on the road and surrounded the big hole tightly.This group of people looked very much like beggars, with dirty faces and ragged clothes. Some of them were holding poles, some were holding sickles, some were holding hoes and shovels, and even worse, some were holding ropes and ladders. At first glance, they seem to be farmers in poor areas.But if you think about it carefully, you will definitely not think that they are beggars: beggars will never appear in groups in this remote and uninhabited place. Just because there are no people here, they must not be farmers. If there are farmers, they will naturally have farmhouses. If there are no farmhouses here, where are the farmers?

The leader was a middle-aged man, very thin, just like the fake thief Yu Xiaoqi that Feng Tianyu met last night. He snorted coldly, but could not hide the joy in his heart, just like the two people in this pit. As if the horse was already in his pocket, he said happily with a proud expression: "Business is really booming today. We just sent one away and welcomed two more."

Feng Tianyu showed great curiosity and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged thin man said: "Of course we are business people, can't you even see this?" Feng Tianyu really didn't see it, I'm afraid no one could.

Feng Tianyu asked: "Is the person you sent away just now a Taoist priest?"

The middle-aged thin man said: "Yes, he is a Taoist priest." After listening to the middle-aged thin man's words, the old man and Feng Tianyu suddenly realized that this was what the Taoist priests called "the impending disaster".

Feng Tianyu said: "Since he is a Taoist priest, what business can you do with him?"

The middle-aged thin man said: "As long as you are a human being and fall into this pit, we will have business."

If a person falls into this pit, what does it have to do with the business of this group of people?Feng Tianyu was completely confused. He didn't understand it at all, but he asked even more curiously: "What kind of business are you in?"

The middle-aged thin man said: "We rescue people who have fallen into the pit, and then ask for a certain amount of compensation from them. This is our business, that's all."

It turned out that Feng Tianyu finally understood why they were holding things like shovels, ladders and ropes.The business they do is really creative and seems reasonable.However, Feng Tianyu immediately asked in confusion: "But where did this pit come from?"

Yes, on a smooth road, a pit will never appear for no reason.But the thin middle-aged man gave a non-surprising explanation. He said: "Of course we dug this hole. Doing business certainly requires some capital. If we don't dig a hole, how can we do business?" When the young thin man said this, he neither panicked nor blushed, just like a serious businessman doing serious business.

As soon as he heard the middle-aged thin man's words, the old man immediately said angrily: "Dig a hole here in advance, wait for others to fall in, and then rescue them, and you will also be paid. I'm sorry you guys came up with such an idea." , what’s the difference between what you’re doing and bandits?”

There was no trace of shame on the middle-aged thin man's face, but he said slowly: "I don't object to you saying that we are robbers. Even if we are robbers, I have to tell you: we are gentle and reasonable robbers. "

The old man was furious. He really didn't expect that a robber would actually say that he was polite and reasonable. The words "gentle" and "reasonable" were not used to describe robbers at all.The old man asked: "Since you are gentle and reasonable people, how can you become robbers?"

The middle-aged thin man did not show weakness and asked instead: "Who said that robbers must be arrogant and domineering? Who said that gentle and reasonable people cannot be robbers? Can rich people live in this world? Don’t poor people deserve to live in this world?”

There was a reason. The old man no longer knew what to say. He was afraid that if he continued to say more, he would become the robber who was justified and he was unreasonable.Feng Tianyu suddenly clapped his hands, looked at the middle-aged thin man with great admiration, and said repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense! Let's not talk more about empty words and let's talk about how to do this business."

The middle-aged thin man said: "A man who knows the current affairs is a hero, and you know how to deal with others. Since you are so happy now, I will do it more simply: save a person for 50 taels of silver, and save a horse for 100 taels of silver. You guys Two people and one horse, the total is 200 taels of silver."

Feng Tianyu exclaimed: "It only costs 50 taels to save a person, and 100 taels to save a horse. Are humans not as valuable as horses?"

The middle-aged thin man said: "That's not true. It's just because it's easy to save a person, but it's difficult to save a horse. To do a difficult thing, you will naturally have to charge more money."

Feng Tianyu said: "It does make sense. Can you just save the horses and not the people? People, we can come out on our own."

The middle-aged thin man said seriously: "How can we do that? A good person will do it to the end and send Buddha to the West. The same is true in business. How can we do half of it and lose half of it?"

Feng Tianyu said: "It makes sense, it makes so much sense. Why are what you say always so reasonable?"

The middle-aged thin man said: "Because I said that I am a reasonable person."

Feng Tianyu said: "However, I know that doing business must be done voluntarily by both parties. It seems a bit unreasonable for you to buy and sell by force, right?"

The middle-aged thin man seemed a little angry and said displeasedly: "What do you mean? Aren't you willing to do this business with me?"

Feng Tianyu said: "I advise you not to do such a black-hearted business." The middle-aged thin man said sharply with a straight face: "Although I am a gentleman, a gentleman's temper also has its limits. You are the best It's better not to be shameless." Until now, he actually still remembers that he is a gentle man.

Feng Tianyu said: "I am not a polite person, nor am I a reasonable person. It doesn't matter whether I am shameless or not."

The middle-aged thin man said: "So, this business is destined to fail?"

Feng Tianyu said: "Probably, probably, maybe, should, probably can't be done."

The middle-aged thin man said: "Okay, you are a brat who pretends to be crazy and is sharp-tongued. If you can't do it, you can't do it. Brothers, bury these two ungrateful guys. Bury them for a day and a night. I'll take a look at them again." Will you be so ignorant?" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around the middle-aged thin man immediately shoveled up the soil and poured it into the pit, intending to bury the old man and Feng Tianyu alive in the pit.

The old man was immediately nervous and at a loss. Although he was already half buried in the ground, he still had breath left. Faced with such a cruel thing as being buried alive, he still had to be frightened. Feng Tianyu suddenly jumped up and threw several people in the air. The tumbling, clean and handsome movements scared everyone and ran away, but the thin middle-aged man at the head was stunned, as if he was stunned and stunned, motionless.Feng Tianyu took out the broken knife and put it on the middle-aged thin man's neck. He smiled and said softly: "Are you still doing this business?"

The middle-aged thin man suddenly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I won't do it, I won't do it, and I won't do it again."

Feng Tianyu said: "I can put the knife away, and I also hope you can remember what you said today."

The middle-aged thin man said: "What happened today will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. If I dare to do evil again in the future, I will definitely die a good death."

Feng Tianyu said: "Okay, since I said it so swornly, I will spare your life and you can go." Feng Tianyu had already let him go, but the middle-aged thin man was still kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up. Feng Tianyu hesitated to speak, "Why don't you leave? Could it be that your legs are weak from fear and you can't get up?" But its status in the old man's heart is unique and unparalleled. How can it be compensated with just money? of?

Don't worry about some things. The more you worry about them, the more uncomfortable they will be. If you look at them more openly, you will feel calmer.Just like although the carriage is broken down, there is at least one horse. If the same thing is viewed from another angle, it will not be so desperate.The old man was sitting on a horse, and Feng Tianyu was holding the horse and walking slowly. The person sitting on the horse should have been Feng Tianyu, but Feng Tianyu considered that the old man was old, and he also suffered some flesh injuries when he fell into the pit.

The old man seemed to suddenly have a lot of emotions in his heart. He sighed: "Those people may have been forced by life, and we should forgive them. Think about it, who would do such a thing if they were not desperate?"

Feng Tianyu said: "The old gentleman is really kind-hearted and has a heart like a Bodhisattva, but I don't completely agree: even though they are forced by life, they have many arms and legs, and are fully capable of supporting themselves with their hands. There is no There is no reason to do such a thing.”

The old man said: "If you think so, why do you still let them go back?"

Feng Tianyu said: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I am giving them a chance to correct their mistakes."

The old man said: "What if they don't want to repent? You must know that it is easy for a person to change from good to bad, but it is difficult to change from bad to good."

Feng Tianyu said: "Good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded. If they don't change, they will naturally have retribution."

The old man sighed again, but stopped talking. He seemed to have silently accepted Feng Tianyu's point of view.Yes, looking back on our past, who has not made mistakes?

The middle-aged thin man said: "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Feng Tianyu said: "But it doesn't matter."

The middle-aged thin man said: "At a fork in the road not far ahead, a weirdo came from somewhere recently. He has weird martial arts skills and a scary temper. No one dares to mess with him easily. It is said that his name is Evil God, let me give you a warning, I hope you will be careful when passing by."

Although the horse was rescued, the carriage fell apart after all, which made the old man feel distressed. It was literally half his life.But what can be done?Let that middle-aged thin man pay compensation?Although the carriage is dilapidated.

It was already past, but lunch was still unknown. Feng Tianyu led the horse and walked quietly on the mountain road. The conversation between him and the old man had already stopped, as if both of them were too hungry to say anything. Even the horse It also looked listless, and I didn’t know if it was hungry or thirsty, or if it had just been frightened.

A few feet away, a fork in the road could be seen. At this moment, Feng Tianyu suddenly remembered that the middle-aged thin man said that at this fork in the road, there was a fierce god with a weird temper and strange martial arts.Although the middle-aged thin man did not have any martial arts skills, he was still a vicious person. Unexpectedly, the image of the person he called the fierce god left him with such a bad image. This proved that the fierce god was more difficult to deal with than the middle-aged thin man. Feng Tianyu Already starting to be wary.
