Chapter 9: Human Heart and Human Nature
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble for himself, Wang Ping directly took the bodies of the two crocodile-tailed toads into the "Heaven and Earth Shell", and then claimed to the villagers of Jinbei Village that he had severely damaged the monster back to the sea and would not dare to come over to take revenge on the villagers again.
Wang Ping did not tell the villagers about being the orphan in the village, but only said that he happened to pass by the nearby area and came to rescue him after hearing the villagers' call for help.
Years have passed, and when no one deliberately mentioned it, the villagers would never remember that there was an orphan named Wang Ping in the village, and it was even more impossible to associate it with the "Immortal Master" who was above his eyes.
These people were called back from the Laoji Mountain by Wang Ping. After seeing the houses in the village that were knocked down by the crocodile-tailed toad, they felt sorry for the losses of their belongings, and were full of gratitude and awe for Wang Ping from the bottom of their hearts.
Even two powerful monsters can be severely damaged and driven away. They are indeed the legendary immortal master and god who can live forever and have the power to move mountains and fill the sea!
"Mr. Immortal Master, you have no choice but to repay our kindness in Jinbei Village. I beg you to give me a name so that we can set up a temple for the Mr. Immortal Master, and offer incense to pray for the Mr. Immortal Master day and night!"
The current village chief of Jinbei Village, an old man with gray hair, saw the bloodstains left by the crocodile-tailed toad on the ground with his own eyes, immediately knelt on the ground to Wang Ping and bowed to him with awe.
Although Wang Ping's face looks young and immature, given the legend of immortal masters' immortality, the old village chief kneeled without any psychological barriers and did not feel anything wrong at all.
When the respected old village chief in the village knelt down, no other villagers dared to stand. Not only did the adults kneel down, but they also knelt down some children who didn't understand the world.
When Wang Ping saw this scene, his mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
To be honest, after his parents passed away, he was often bullied by other children in the village and was once full of resentment towards these adults in the village.
However, as he later went to Baisha City to study and learn to read and learn to read, as his experience grew, he also understood the thoughts of these villagers, and his resentment gradually disappeared.
Originally, the Wang family was an outsider and had a low status in the village. After Wang Ping's parents passed away, they were already doing their best to help Wang Ping's parents establish a tomb.
Besides, Wang Ping, an orphan who has no father or mother, looks pitiful, but no one of the villagers who can even support their own children will be willing to take the initiative to add another burden to themselves.
As for the fact that their children united to bully Wang Ping, in the eyes of the villagers, it is mostly just a joke between children.
As long as they don’t make too much trouble, of course they will not scold and beat their children for an orphan without their parents’ support.
However, although Wang Ping understood the villagers' actions, it does not mean that he would agree with the villagers' actions.
In fact, if he hadn't had any grudges in his heart, he wouldn't have been going back to Jinbei Village for many years after becoming an immortal cultivator, and he would not have told these villagers about his name and origin.
At this time, I saw the villagers who were indifferent to them back then, kneeling down in front of me and not daring to look up at me.
After watching the old village chief who brought people to help him set up a tomb for his parents, he took some of his valuable assets away from him and divided them down on the ground, and said earnestly that he wanted to help him build a temple and receive incense.
Wang Ping didn't have any pleasure in his heart, only a deep helplessness and sorrow.
This is the world. Not only does the cultivation world advocate the strong as respect, but ordinary ordinary people also respect the strong and despise the weak.
The villagers in Jinbei Village do not have a high living standards, but they would rather spend money from their already tight families to build a temple to receive incense for a cultivator like Wang Ping who passed by by chance, than to take out part of the dried fish that they could not eat at home and share it with an orphan in the village.
Wang Ping didn't know whether he should say that the villagers were ignorant or scold the unfairness of the world.
He looked at the villagers on the ground in a complicated mood. After a while, he waved his hand gently and said, "Let's get up first, there is no need to build a temple and receive incense. We, the immortals, are not willing to do this. If you have that money and thoughts, it is better to use it on the villagers who died in this monster disaster, especially those orphans who have lost their parents!"
After saying that, the old village chief on the ground responded, he immediately changed the subject and continued: "In addition, as far as I know, monsters like crocodile tailed toads will not easily cause trouble during their egg laying ashore, and it is unlikely that they will attack human villages in the daytime. Have anyone caught some abnormal things in your village today or collected some strange flowers and plants?"
He suspected that someone in Jinbei Village had obtained the spiritual objects that the crocodile-tailed toad wanted to eat, which led to the two crocodile-tailed toads attacking the village during the day.
Obviously, compared with what Wang Ping said before, the subsequent events attracted the attention of the villagers.
After hearing Wang Ping's words, the old village chief immediately shouted to the other villagers: "You have heard what Master Immortal Master said. If any family really brought back something unusual today, hand it over to Master Immortal Master immediately. Don't cause trouble in the village because of this!"
As soon as this statement came out, the villagers immediately discussed themselves and carefully recalled the gains they had earned or seen by other villagers today.
Then soon a fisherman shouted: "I understand, I understand. Today, when I saw the couple of Lao Lin's family come back from the sea, they closed the door and hid at home. I don't know what to do. After the two monsters entered the village, they also went to their house first. The two of them died first. The things must be in their house!"
As soon as the fisherman finished speaking, the villagers were in an uproar.
Then the old village chief said with a ugly expression: "Old Lin family? The old Lin family is dead, but their girl is still there, right?"
Speaking of this, his eyes swept through the crowd and soon fell on an eight or nine-year-old girl. He stared at the little girl and asked, "Lin Yatou, tell me quickly, what are your parents doing when they are hiding at home today?"
The little girl had tears that had not been wiped dry on her face. When the old man glared at her, she immediately sat down on the ground and cried.
The old man did not feel pity for this at all, but couldn't help but shout angrily: "Why are you crying? Answer me quickly, what did your parents bring back to seaweed today?"
Seeing this, other villagers also scolded the little girl, and some even wanted to go over and pull it up and answer.
"Enough!"
Wang Ping suddenly shouted angrily, which made all the villagers silent and shut up and dared not speak. The person who wanted to pull the little girl also shook his body and stood there in a daze.
"You, you are all from the same village, and are all elders of this child. Now that the child's parents have just died, you are just treating a child of eight or nine years old like this. Do you still have a little sympathy? Is there a little humanity?"
Wang Ping pointed at the villagers with a pale complexion and scolded him, his chest trembling and undulating.
No one knows why he was so angry that he was so angry just now.
But he was a noble "Immortal Master". Even if he pointed at the nose and scolded him, the old village chief did not dare to be disrespectful. He just lowered his head with confusion and let him scold him.
The villagers' appearance made Wang Ping, who had already said a lot of words to curse, suddenly stopped.
After taking a few deep breaths, he waved his hand tiredly and said, "Forget it, you guys, do whatever you want. I'm tired, let's get rid of it!"
