Chapter 351 Green Snake Extra 5

Following the order from the county magistrate, the ferocious yamen runners immediately sprang into action, quickly grabbing the men and mercilessly pressing them onto the bench, preparing for execution.

For a moment, the scene became extremely chaotic, with the cries of women and the wails of men echoing throughout the county government office.

……

On the other side, Fahai, holding a magic wand and carrying a golden bowl, walked steadily to the big locust tree in Huaishu Lane.

This alley was not very busy to begin with, and now it seemed even more deserted.

Some people went out to work early, while others heard that the county government was trying their neighbors and acquaintances, so they hurried over to watch the fun.

Fahai stood in front of the big locust tree and began to cast spells with a serious expression.

He was seen muttering something and waving the staff in his hand, emitting dazzling rays of light.

These lights are like lively elves, dancing around the big locust tree.

As Fahai's incantations grew louder, the light around the locust tree grew brighter.

The infant spirits that were originally wandering around the big locust tree and crying incessantly seemed to feel Fahai's powerful strength. Their cries gradually became weaker and eventually disappeared completely.

The branches and leaves of the big locust tree swayed gently in the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if expressing gratitude to Fahai.

Then, an old and deep voice came from the tree: "Thank you, Master!"

Fahai smiled slightly and said to the big locust tree, "This is my duty, no need to thank me."

After saying that, he put away his staff and turned to leave.

Huaishu Lane has returned to its former tranquility, with only the big locust tree still standing quietly in its place, witnessing everything that happened here.

"Monk, you didn't tell the people that the big locust tree has become a spirit, do you want to save the big locust tree?" Yu Yin suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water, like a blooming golden lotus, floating lightly on the water.

Fahai nodded slightly and replied calmly, "If these people knew the role of the locust tree, I'm afraid it would cause an uproar and they might even do something extreme."

Yu Yin nodded thoughtfully, "Well, the monk has a point. However, this locust tree is truly pitiful. It was only doing good deeds, but it was unexpectedly attacked by resentment, causing its cultivation to regress significantly."

Fahai said, "The infant's spirit has been liberated, and the locust tree's resentment has been dispelled, so it can be considered liberated. And those people have received the punishment they deserve. Both sides have made mistakes, and the best outcome is peace."

After hearing this, Yu Yin couldn't help but sigh, "Those baby girls are so pitiful. Humans are so cruel that they kill their own children with their own hands. Even monsters know how to cherish their offspring!" A trace of pity and confusion flashed in her eyes.

Fahai looked at Yu Yin and said, "Good and evil in this world are hard to predict, and not everyone has a compassionate heart. But this matter has come to an end. If they can reform themselves in the future, it will be a blessing in disguise."

Yu Yin curled his lips, "Human minds are so complicated."

Fahai lowered his head and chanted a Buddhist name. One thought can make you a Buddha, and one thought can make you a devil, but it all happens in the human heart!

"Monk, do you think that after what happened, will there still be people who would kill their own flesh and blood?" Yu Yin asked worriedly.

Fahai closed his eyes and sighed.

Yu Yin understood and felt sad. Alas, life is so hard for women in this world!

It’s better to be a fairy, there is no preference for boys over girls!

"Hey, I got it!" Yu Yin suddenly shouted excitedly.

Fahai opened his eyes and looked at her, "What?"

"Monk, do you still remember that spider spirit?" Yu Yin swam happily.

Spider spirit?

Fahai pondered for a moment and nodded, "Remember!"

"Then do you still remember the thank-you gift she gave me before we left?" Yu Yin said with a snort.

He seemed a little depressed when he thought of the thank-you gift.

Fahai smiled, "Of course I remember!"

Seeing this, Yu Yin gave him a cold look, what a bad-intentioned monk!

……

That's a rather bizarre story...

When the spider spirit was still very young, it was once caught by some naughty boys who wanted to drown it.

At the critical moment, the young scholar appeared and stopped the naughty boys.

The naughty boy was unwilling, so the young boy took out some candies that his parents rewarded him for studying hard and exchanged them for a small spider.

The little spider was taken home by the boy and placed in the study.

From then on, the little spider made his home in the study.

This wait lasted for fifteen years!

The boy grew up, and during the fifteen years, the little spider also gained intelligence from listening to the boy's reading.

Ever since the spider appeared in his study, the young scholar has never been bothered by mosquitoes again.

Later, the scholar passed the imperial examination and, with the help of his parents and a matchmaker, married a girl from a wealthy family in the county.

The girl was as beautiful as a flower and the scholar liked her very much.

The two of them spent some tender and sweet time together, and the scholar's teacher reminded him not to indulge too much in love between men and women.

Thinking of his teacher's earnest teachings and his parents' sincere expectations, the scholar put his wife aside, picked up his books, studied diligently, and wanted to continue to pass the imperial examinations.

To make the teacher proud, to bring honor to the parents, to buy fine clothes for the wife, and to realize the dream of becoming an official to protect the people.

The scholar's wife initially supported him in continuing to pursue a career, but gradually, as she felt lonely and empty, and alone in the empty room, she began to feel resentful.

The neighbor next door was an idle scoundrel. He was tall and respectable. He had married once, but his wife died in childbirth. He never remarried and just hung out with some widows and promiscuous women.

Ever since the first time he saw the scholar's wife's appearance and figure, the ruffian has been thinking about her.

Now, one was lonely in her room, and the other was trying to seduce her. After a few interactions, it didn't take long before they had a beginning and an end.

In the heat of their love, the two didn't want to be secretive anymore.

Although stealing has its own unique flavor, wouldn’t it be more carefree and happy if you could stay together forever?

So, the two adulterers set up a vicious plan and killed the unsuspecting scholar.

The scholar was dead, and there were no apparent wounds on his body, so the cause of his death could not be determined.

From the scholar's wife's crying, we learned that the scholar had studied hard day and night in order to pass the imperial examination, and he must have died suddenly due to his weak body!

His parents, brothers and sisters cried bitterly and had to pack up and bury the scholar to let him rest in peace.

In the study, the spider, having become a spirit, saw everything clearly and was unwilling to let the scholar die unjustly.

She made a noise in the mourning hall, causing the scholar's family to think that there was a ghost.

Then, Fahai, who was passing by, noticed the evil spirit and came over.

The spider demon thought he was there to get free food and drinks, so she showed up to scare Fahai away.

A spider the size of a millstone did not scare Fahai, but instead frightened Yu Yin who was looking out from the golden bowl.

"What a huge spider!"

"very scary!"

It also scares fish!

Fahai only needed to make a slight move to beat the spider back to its original form, and it could no longer be arrogant.

Just when Fahai was about to exorcise the demon, the spider burst into tears.

"Hey, you cry because you can't beat me. Shame on you!" Yu Yin poked out his fish head and sneered.

Like her, although she couldn't beat Fahai, she never cried!

"What do you know?" the spider cried. "I'm not crying for myself, but for my scholar. He was murdered and I can't get justice. I can't rest in peace!"

"What do you mean he was killed? Who killed him?" Yu Yin asked curiously.

Fahai took a look at the corpse in the mourning hall. If the body was murdered, why were the parents and wife only in pain and not wronged?
