Although his companions were all dead, he tried his best and wanted to go back to recover and then seek revenge on the big monster. Besides, there were still more monsters that he needed to destroy.
However, after those desperate people ran to the foot of the mountain, they hid all the good herbs on them, and then traveled light, running back with their axes and forks. "
Xiao Yunyan asked it: "Why did those people turn back? Did they want to save you and your master?"
The python continued in a contemptuous tone: "My master and I could have escaped. But when we saw these people, we thought they were here to rescue us, so we were very moved.
The master advised them not to go back, as they were all out of danger. Although four of their companions had died, five monsters had also been killed. For safety reasons, they hurried down the mountain.
I didn't expect that those people were not here to save me and my master, but to go to the mountain to take out the beast cores from the five monsters.
Beast Pills are treasures that cultivators love very much. The older the age, the higher the price. A beast pill from a 3,000-year-old beast is worth one or two thousand taels of silver.
Also, it is said that the meat of the monster is rich in spiritual energy, so it is a favorite food of cultivators. If you can cut up the meat and carry it to the foot of the mountain, you can sell it for a high price. "
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan were speechless about these herbalists who were willing to sacrifice their lives for money.
If it wasn't for protecting them, the four cultivators wouldn't have died in vain, and the owner of the python wouldn't have been seriously injured.
The python continued, "The master couldn't persuade them. He watched as these people cut open the bodies of the five big monsters, took out the beast cores, and then cut off the monsters' limbs. Each of them carried an arm or a thigh and hurried down the mountain. They had caused a disaster without knowing it.
The python said angrily: "My master knew that the situation was serious when he saw them running down the mountain with the monster's limbs on their backs. Sure enough, the already injured monster smelled the blood of its companion and turned back.
Seeing his companions' bodies being dismembered and their most precious beast elixirs being stolen, the Warcraft went crazy and chased after the people who were almost at the foot of the mountain.
This was the beginning of the real nightmare. These people hid the monster's limbs again. But the smell could not be eliminated, and the smell of monster's blood permeated the whole way.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a temporary tent with more than 20 people inside. They were also other herbalists waiting to go out of the mountain with them and sell the harvest from this trip into the mountain for silver.
The huge monster was like crazy, trying to tear the people apart.
The two groups together numbered forty people, all of whom were strong laborers in their families.
If one or two people come from a family, it means that if 20 to 30 families lose these strong laborers, I am afraid that these 20 to 30 families will lose their backbone. The life of the old and young in every family will be extremely miserable.
My master couldn't bear to see them being mauled to death by the monster, so he used up all his remaining spiritual power to start another fierce battle with the monster. In the end, my master bled too much and passed out, and the monster was also killed.
I was also unconscious at that time. When I woke up again, the master was already dead. Five people became five new graves. "
The python's eyes flashed with extreme sorrow, "Later, I learned that the master knew he couldn't hold on for much longer, so he used up his last bit of strength to seal me and save my life.
His master had sensed his master's death. After flying here, the immortal saw that all five people were dead and couldn't help but feel very sad.
The gods saw me in a sealed state, covered in wounds.
He first rescued me from the seal, treated my wounds, and then asked for details.
The immortal listened to my inner voice and sensed my deep resentment. He also knew that I hated those dozen greedy herbalists even more.
After listening to my story, the immortal calmed me down and explained some truths to me.
He said that everything is determined by cause and effect. My master suffered this because they accidentally killed some innocent lives when they were fighting demons and defending the way.
There are good and bad monsters among them. Some monsters should not die, but they die under the sword of their masters. Therefore, when the masters accumulate merits, they also owe a lot of karmic debts. So there will be this disaster in this life.
At that time, I was very angry and didn't want to listen to the immortal's words. He obviously didn't want me to avenge my master, so I asked the immortal why? The herbalists who had done bad things were not punished, but also exchanged a large amount of silver. The five cultivators who protected them were dedicated to eliminating harm for the people and protecting the safety of the people, but in the end, they lost their lives to protect these dozen bad people. Hundreds of years of cultivation were wasted in vain. What kind of cause and effect is this?
The gods heard me speak angrily, but did not blame me. Instead, they told me that the evil deeds these dozen people had planted would also bring bad consequences. Then the gods told me that these people would naturally receive retribution. However, they were told not to interfere in this matter, otherwise the karma they owed would not be settled, and they would be entangled in the next life.
I was half-believing and half-doubting, but seeing that immortal teaching me patiently, I gradually calmed down. He was right. As long as those dozen bad guys would get their comeuppance, I wouldn't be so angry.
But I turned around and asked the immortals again, although the six monsters had died under the master's knife, they had always been evil monsters, they had always committed many evil deeds, robbing other cultivators and harming their lives, so there was no merit from them, but there were countless evil deeds.
On the contrary, my master and his companions are all people with immeasurable merits and have been protecting the poor people. If it is a karmic debt, how can we use our master's precious life to offset their lives that should have been destroyed? One life for one life, it seems fair, but if it is offset like this, it is extremely unfair. "
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan listened quietly to the python's description of the situation at that time, and felt that his questions were very reasonable, especially the question of one life for one life, which was indeed worth deep thinking.
The python paused for a moment. When he said this, his emotions fluctuated greatly. Xiao Yunyun knew it by looking at him like this. This python had a sense of justice in his heart, so he was willing to follow his master to protect the weak and fight against the monsters. Xiao Yunyan took out a special pill for pythons to restore their physical strength from the space, and gave it to the python, letting it swallow it.
The python's eyes burst with joy, and then he swallowed the pill very realistically. He carefully felt the changes that the pill produced in his body.
Xiao Yunyan asked it: "Then tell me, how did the gods deal with this matter later?"
The python had already felt a huge change in its body. It felt as if every part of its body was filled with spiritual energy. All its fatigue completely disappeared. Hearing Xiao Yunyan's question, it immediately continued to recall what happened at that time.
"The immortal did not say anything about helping his master to avenge his death. He just quietly conjured up five large coffins. After he buried the five people in the five coffins, he chose the location you see and buried five graves side by side.
The descendants of these five people came to worship them every year at first. Some cultivators who were on good terms with them also came to worship them occasionally and even helped fill the soil on the graves.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people came to worship. After two hundred years, no one came to worship anymore.
However, the descendant of one of them was also a cultivator. He did not reincarnate. At first, he came to worship once every few years, and later he moved to this area and built a small courtyard.
But five hundred years later, because he failed to overcome the tribulation, he was reincarnated again.
The descendant of the hero in the valley today is the fifth reincarnation of that person, and he is still practicing here. However, this person rarely lives in the valley permanently. He always goes out for three years and then comes back to live for a while.
However, this person's whereabouts are uncertain and there is no exact time for his return.
The gods asked me to guard these five graves here, and to watch over my master while he meditates and practices.
The fairy told me to protect the box well and wait for the destined person to come.
Today I finally waited for you two to come. I think you are the destined ones who can bring the master back to life. I am begging for your help.
If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you. As long as you can help my master come back to life, I am willing to obey your orders. "
After the python said this, the sadness was released. Although it was still sad, it was not as heavy.
Xiao Yunyan asked: "What happened to those people who were collecting herbs?"
The python said, "They made a lot of money that time, and they never went into the mountains to collect herbs again, probably because they were afraid that the monsters would seek revenge on them.
Those people lived a prosperous life for a while. Perhaps they were guided by someone, or perhaps they suffered some retribution. After a long time, several of them who had made a fortune by collecting herbs came together to pay tribute to my master.
Every time they came, they would bring wine and tributes. After they kowtowed at the grave, they would chant for a long time and then ask the five heroes to bless them with peace and safety. I hid aside and observed their every move, and also heard what they chanted at the grave.
It seemed that they were being hunted in their dreams recently and had almost lost their lives a few times. They thought that it was the evil spirits that the dead monsters turned into on purpose.
Several herbalists have lost their lives due to the pursuit of monsters. Several others have lost their families and even their wives and children.
These people were scared, so they sought help from a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts.
Later, when the Taoists learned about their experience, they ignored it.
Under their repeated questioning, the Taoists all said frankly: "They have done something immoral and owed debts to both parties. The evil spirits came to collect the debts, and the heroes who saved them did not come to collect the debts, and they were unwilling to save them. The Taoists were unwilling to take care of this matter.
These people were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, so they asked the Taoist priest for help.
The Taoist priest told them to offer some sacrifices to the six evil spirits and ask for their forgiveness, and at the same time to pay tribute to the five heroes.
The homes of these people were also disturbed by evil spirits. With no other options, they came here together to worship several times.
I don’t know if they were blessed by the souls of the five heroes, but it is said that those who came to worship lived over the age of sixty, and finally died because they were haunted by ghosts and there was no cure.
I think maybe my master and his companions blessed them for the rest of their lives, because this tombstone was erected by a craftsman when they came to pay homage for the second time.
Because they did not know the names of my master and the other four cultivators, and did not find their descendants at the time, the word "hero" was engraved on the monument. Therefore, when later generations told the story, they also called them heroes."
Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan speculated that perhaps it was because they frequently offered tributes to the evil spirits that they were temporarily forgiven by the evil spirits.
But this debt was not offset, it was only postponed. At the same time, the souls of the five heroes also protected them secretly, so they had the opportunity to live beyond the age of sixty.
However, in the process, they may have incurred more karmic debts. In the end, those few people still could not escape being haunted by ghosts and there was no cure.
As for the debt collection, Xiao Yunyan thought that maybe those evil spirits were collecting debts. Or maybe it was other creditors who were collecting debts. In any case, they died like that, probably because the creditors were collecting debts.
