Nine Turns of Chaos

Chapter 603
Chapter 632
"Why?" Xiao Lingyu asked.

"Because you are not a villager of this village, and even if you are a villager of this village, the village chief will only give you the road map and allow you to travel alone only if you have reached the stage of a god." Yue Ru explained.

"Then what are the requirements to become a villager in this village?" Xiao Lingyu asked after thinking for a while.

Yueru looked at Xiao Lingyu in surprise, and asked back, "Do you want to join our village?"

"Why, can't you?" Xiao Lingyu nodded first, and then asked.

"It's not impossible, but if you want to become a villager in our village, you must meet one condition, that is, you are not a villager in another village, and you must swear that you will not leave until the time of the gods, and you must abide by the rules of the village."

Yueru introduced it, and then said: "Generally speaking, our village only accepts monks who have just ascended to join."

Xiao Lingyu said: "I have never joined other villages, and I am also a person who abides by the rules."

"Hehe..." Yueru just smiled.

Xiao Lingyu could tell from Yueru's smile that this girl probably didn't believe him.

In the past few days, Yueru has been guarding Xiao Lingyu almost every day according to the order of the deputy village head, but she has not really worked hard to heal Xiao Lingyu. She knows that Xiao Lingyu does not need treatment, but after a few days, the matter of Xiao Lingyu joining Lingu Village has not yet been implemented. , but there was a bell that shook the whole valley.

The sound of the drum made Yueru's face change slightly, because she knew that something big was about to happen.

"It's the sound of the drum calling the whole village to the square."

While talking, Yueru got up and walked outside the house.

After Xiao Lingyu thought about it, he was naturally extremely curious, so he immediately followed.

In the center of this valley, that is, in the center of Lingu Village, there is a large square. The whole square is paved with bluestone slabs. From the mottled and ancient traces on the bluestone, it can be seen that this square should be somewhat It's the beginning of the year.

The square does not have a regular shape, but there is a high platform like an altar in the middle. At this time, many villagers from Lingu Village have surrounded the high platform, pointing and talking about the high platform.

Xiao Lingyu followed Yueru to the edge of the square, and did not squeeze into the crowd, but stopped in a corner of the square with a mentality of watching the excitement.

Yue Ru did not stand with Xiao Lingyu, but was closer to the high platform than Xiao Lingyu, just outside the surrounding villagers.

After waiting quietly for another cup of tea, the old village head went up to the high platform, waved for everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "I called you here today for one thing only, and that is to deal with a person who disregards the village rules." Villager, his name is... Kang Ping!"

"Kang Ping? How could it be him?"

"Isn't Kang Ping always very disciplined?"

"You don't know yet, Kang Ping fought with the deputy village chief last time, and even injured someone."

"Kang Ping is finished this time. If he dares to challenge the deputy village chief, no one can protect him."

"Their group of people has always had a bad relationship with the deputy village chief. It's just that the deputy village chief didn't find a suitable opportunity to punish them before."

"I don't know how to deal with it."

"It shouldn't be serious. After all, I haven't committed any serious crimes. The most I can do is admit my mistakes and whip them a few times."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the villagers of Lingu Village began to discuss in low voices in the square. Although Xiao Lingyu stood far away, he could hear clearly.

"Bring Kang Ping up!" The old village chief shouted to the side.

A group of iron-clad monks walked out from a corner of the square, and Kang Ping was among them. It was just that those iron-clad monks were well-dressed and vigorous, but Kang Ping's clothes were torn and his long hair was messy, giving people a sense of decadence and powerlessness.

Looking at it like this, after Kang Ping was imprisoned, he should have suffered somewhat.

Xiao Lingyu also felt that what Kang Ping had committed was not a major crime, and the deputy village head would punish him in public at most, and would not impose a capital punishment, so now he just folded his hands on his chest, with a calm expression on his face.

It's not bad to let Kang Ping suffer a little, at least it can make him understand that sometimes you should bow your head or you have to bow your head. Even if you don't bow your head, you have to learn to use some other methods to deal with the enemy, not head-to-head, let alone hitting a stone with an egg.

Kang Ping was escorted to the stage by a group of armored monks, and then tied to a pillar that suddenly appeared.

Even at this time, Kang Ping still showed a rebellious expression on his face. He held his head high, like a hero in distress who died generously, but he really had a somewhat unyielding spirit.

However, Kang Ping obviously had an expression of indignation, and seemed to have something to say to everyone, but his lips trembled and he couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Lingyu reckoned that Kang Ping was imprisoned for his tongue, skill and cultivation, so he was unable to speak.

In front of the villagers of the whole village, the deputy village chief would definitely not give Kang Ping a chance to speak out, nor would he give him a chance to argue.

"The mistake Kang Ping made was flouting the village rules, refusing to hand over the meat he got outside, and injuring the villagers. According to the village rules, we decided to give two ways to deal with it... one is to make him admit his mistakes in public and promise not to do it again. Make the same mistake, and then give whipping punishment; the second is to burn yourself with fire, and fly ash to annihilate! As for how to deal with it, it will be decided by the villagers in the village according to the village rules, that is, if everyone says how to deal with it, then how Deal with it!" The village chief said with a dignified expression.

In fact, refusing to hand over meat is not a big deal. The key is that Kang Ping hit people and was labeled as flouting the village rules. This crime was obviously magnified.

"Those who choose whipping, please stand to the left, and those who choose fire, please stand to the right." The village chief said with an unchanged expression.

Next, the villagers of the entire Lingu Village went through a heated discussion, and then began to choose to stand in line.

Seeing the situation of standing in line, Xiao Lingyu frowned more and more tightly, because first a group of people went to the right without hesitation, and it actually led many people to the right side of the elevated.

On the right is the choice of burning, that is, choosing to execute Kang Ping!

How could these villagers be so cruel?
Kang Ping's mistake will never kill him!Most importantly, what did Kang Ping do wrong?

Through the previous chat with Yueru, Xiao Lingyu could think of one thing, that is, the deputy village chief had already told his relatives how to choose, and the deputy village chief had a large number of people and was very powerful in Lingu Village. If you are willing to offend them, you will naturally stand on their side.

In this way, this so-called voting seems to be fair, but in fact it can be easily controlled by the deputy village head, and it is absolutely easy to disregard human lives.

Xiao Lingyu saw Yueru, and even though Yueru stood to the left with a helpless face, it was of no avail.

After a hundred breaths of time, the villagers' lineup was over, and only a few poor people stood on the left side, while the villagers on the right side of the high platform were a large black mass, and a casual glance showed that there were thousands of people on the right side.

The result was already obvious, Xiao Lingyu saw a smug smile on the deputy village head's face.

"Since everyone's opinions are so unified, in order to warn future generations not to make the same mistakes, Kang Ping was burned at the stake. I hope you will take this as a warning to make our neighbors in Lingu Village harmonious and the whole village united."

The face of the village chief was still very calm. After he said something righteous, he said to the people around him: "Let's go down, and the execution will be carried out by burning!"

"Wait!"

Xiao Lingyu really couldn't stand it anymore, he yelled when a few people on the stage were about to go down, then made three steps in parallel, walked quickly to the bottom of the stage, and then jumped onto the stage again.

"Your Excellency is still seriously injured, but this movement is very smooth." The deputy village chief said with narrowed eyes.

The whole village is here, so the deputy village chief naturally has no reason to be too polite to Xiao Lingyu.
