Chapter 30: Ye Erniang, the most evil person in the world!
"Your young master? A young master from some big family, right?" Yun Zhonghe said disdainfully, "I have killed many high-ranking officials and nobles. It's your bad luck that you ran into me today!"
Unlike Yun Zhonghe's arrogance, Ye Erniang looked at Murong Fu carefully.
Seeing that Murong Fu was not afraid of the notoriety of the four evil men, and looked confident, and had an extraordinary temperament, she felt that Murong Fu must be no simple person.
"This young man is very handsome. What should I call him?" Ye Erniang asked with a smile.
Sikong Xuan shouted loudly: "In today's martial arts world, when it comes to heroes, they are just Qiao Feng in the north and Murong in the south! My young master is the famous Nan Murong!"
When these words were spoken, Ye Erniang and the others widened their eyes, and even Yun Zhonghe's lustful intentions were restrained a lot.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
It is no exaggeration to say that the two most popular figures in the martial arts world of this generation are Qiao Feng in the North and Murong in the South.
Comparable to Nan Yihuan and Bei Jingtian of later generations.
Their actual strengths are similar. Although Nan Yihuan is as famous as Bei Jingtian, their resources and works are incomparable.
One is a web drama contestant, and the other can chat and laugh with Zhang Yimou.
Although Murong Fu was as famous as Qiao Feng, Wang Yuyan was stunned after seeing Qiao Feng's Dragon Capturing Skill in the Xingzilin. She wondered how her cousin could be a match for Qiao Feng?
When Xiao Feng's martial arts reached perfection, he felt that he could defeat five or six Duan Yanqings. However, in the later period, Murong Fu's mentality collapsed, his strength declined, and even after joining forces with the four great generals, they were still unable to defeat Duan Yanqing.
However, bundling fame is a good way to hype traffic.
After Murong Fu and Qiao Feng became affiliated, their fame rose rapidly.
The reputation of the two men expanded rapidly, just like the left foot stepping on the right foot.
Especially in the past two years, he has almost become the representative of the Central Plains martial arts world.
A Khitan and a Xianbei, representing the Central Plains martial arts world.
The world is darkly humorous sometimes.
If Murong Fu does something brilliant, Qiao Feng's reputation will be enhanced.
Whenever Qiao Feng does something great, Murong Fu's reputation will also be enhanced.
The two have never fought, and in everyone's mind, Murong Fu and Qiao Feng are evenly matched.
The four evil men all served in the Yipintang of Xixia, and one of the biggest enemies of Yipintang was the Beggars' Sect.
Therefore, although the four evil men had never fought with Murong Fu, they had experienced how powerful Qiao Feng was.
Since Murong Fu is as famous as Qiao Feng, he must be very powerful, right?
The expressions of Ye Erniang and the others became solemn.
However, Yue Lao San was eager to try, and said, "Last time I fought against the Beggars' Sect, I didn't meet Bei Qiao Feng, and I didn't fight with Bei Qiao Feng. It was really a regret in my life. Now that I meet Nan Murong, I want to test Nan Murong's strength!"
Yun Zhonghe said: "The Murong family's reputation of giving someone a taste of their own medicine is really great. I think that you, Mr. Murong, are so young that you may not be able to live up to such a reputation."
Murong Fu sneered and took a step forward.
In addition to Yue Lao San, Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe were all on guard, fearing that Murong Fu would violate martial ethics and launch a sneak attack.
Murong Fu did not take action, but stared at the three people and said coldly:
"I have heard of the notoriety of you four evil men for a long time. Yun Zhonghe, you are a flower thief, but you actually looked at my cousin. You have already received your death! A lecherous thief like you really deserves to be put to death!"
Yun Zhonghe was defeated but not in battle, and said stubbornly: "It depends on whether you have such great ability!" At the same time, he was anxious, wondering why the boss hadn't come yet.
Yun Zhonghe knew that he was most likely no match for Nan Murong, but this time he came to Wanjie Valley to discuss cooperation with Zhong Wanchou. The four evil men traveled as a group, and Duan Yanqing was also in the valley.
Among the four evil men, Duan Yanqing has the highest martial arts skills and is a master of another level.
Even the other three villains combined could not defeat the disabled Duan Yanqing.
The second is Ye Erniang.
Ye Erniang's martial arts were "taught" by Shaolin Abbot Xuanci on the bed. Her meridians are filled with the abbot's profound Buddhist teachings. Under the training of Abbot Xuanci's "Great Weituo Pestle", her internal strength is superb and her moves are also quite impressive. She is the second best among the four evil men.
In the martial arts world, he is also at the peak of the second-rate masters. If he is not a first-rate master, he really cannot beat Ye Erniang.
The second is Yue Laosan.
The last one is Yun Zhonghe.
"Third Yue, your martial arts skills are mediocre, but among the four evil men, you are a pretty good person except for killing innocent people." Murong Fu said, "But killing innocent people is a capital crime. You have also found a way to die!"
Yue Lao San scratched his head: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"
Ye Erniang said with a smile: "Master Murong, what about me? Is there any way for me to die?"
Murong Fu commented, "The worst of the four evil men is you, Ye Erniang. As far as I know, you, Ye Erniang, have been doing evil for at least twenty years. During these twenty years, you have killed a child every day. The youngest ones are still in swaddling clothes, like the one you are holding now. The oldest ones are only two or three years old and ignorant."
"There are 365 days in a year. You kill 365 children in a year. With a 20-year cycle, you have killed 7,300 children."
"Your sins are so numerous that they cannot be listed in words. You are the worst of the four evil men!"
Everyone knew what Ye Erniang had done, but no one had ever carefully counted the number of children she had killed.
Now that Murong Fu made a rough calculation, everyone was shocked.
Killed 7,300 babies? Such a demon is rare in the history of martial arts!
After hearing Murong Fu's words, Yue Lao San couldn't help but curse:
"Second Brother, none of us four evil men are good people, but you are worse than us. You are the worst of all beasts!"
Yue Laosan has this kind of personality, he is bad but very straightforward.
He often scolded Ye Erniang, but he just scolded her and didn't care about anything else because he was not a good person and had no motive to enforce justice.
Ye Erniang did all kinds of bad things, but she was able to get away with it.
Most of the children killed by Ye Erniang were from ordinary families.
For example, when Mu Wanqing was detained by Yue Lao San for six days, she witnessed Ye Er Niang killing six children, all of whom were from nearby farmers' families.
It was because Wuliang Mountain was rather desolate and there were no more children from farming families that Ye Erniang attacked the child of Zuo Zimu, the head of Wuliang Sword.
Seeing that Ye Erniang was very skilled in martial arts, Zuo Zimu only wanted to exchange someone else's child for his own child, and had no intention of punishing evil.
If an ordinary person’s child was taken away by Ye Erniang, he wouldn’t even be able to see Ye Erniang, who was running around high and low, let alone chase her for revenge.
Even if they ran into Ye Erniang, most martial arts masters were no match for Ye Erniang, let alone ordinary people. It would be nothing more than the whole family being killed by Ye Erniang.
Although there are some chivalrous men in the martial arts world, there are almost no people who are willing to really punish Ye Erniang, especially after Ye Erniang has the support of the Four Evil Men and Xixia Yipintang.
However, the person Murong Fu disliked more was Abbot Xuanci.
Abbot Xuanci has almost absolute authority over Ye Erniang.
It can be said that when Xuan Ci asked Ye Erniang to lie down, Ye Erniang did not dare to stick her head out.
For example, during the Battle of Shaoshi Mountain, Ye Erniang originally wanted to seek revenge on Xiao Yuanshan, but when she heard that Xiao Yuanshan was going to expose Xuan Ci's dark history, she immediately let go of her hatred and kowtowed to Xiao Yuanshan and begged for mercy, for fear that Xuan Ci would be ruined.
It can be seen that to Ye Erniang, Xuanci is much more important than her son. As long as Xuanci gives an order, Ye Erniang would not dare to do evil.
Even if Ye Erniang refused to listen, with Xuanci's martial arts, it would be easy to imprison and control Ye Erniang.
But what about Xuanci?
His mistress killed babies outside every day, but he turned a blind eye to it.
As the leader, countless heroes died at the hands of Xiao Yuanshan for him, but he also hid himself in his shell and turned a blind eye to anything. He would never admit that he was the leader until the very last moment.
At most, he would take a few people from the Xuan generation and disguise themselves and go to Mount Wutai to fight against Xiao Feng. That would be really ridiculous.
This shows how hypocritical and irresponsible this person is.
Such a person could become the leader of the Central Plains martial arts world. No wonder the Central Plains martial arts world had to be saved by the Khitans.
However, Murong Fu is also a politician. Although he wants to kill Ye Erniang, he cares more about her value.
Ye Erniang can be controlled first to prevent her from doing evil, and then at the critical moment, Ye Erniang can be used to deal a fatal blow to Xuan Ci.
If Ye Erniang is killed, it will only benefit Xuanci, the hypocritical villain.
Moreover, the bad things that Murong Bo did in the past can also be shifted to Xuan Ci, letting Xuan Ci take the blame.
Ye Erniang and Xu Zhu are a combined force to defeat Xuan Ci. Murong Fu has to plan carefully to make Xuan Ci bear the evil deeds of the Murong family.
"Seven thousand three hundred children?" Duan Yu looked at the children in Ye Erniang's arms, and felt his legs go weak. He said in a lost voice, "How can there be such evil people in this world?"
"That's right." Sikong Xuan said, "During the time when Ye Erniang came to Dali, many children died in Dali, at least dozens! The Duan family of Dali sought help everywhere, and this was also the reason."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, Ye Erniang was not panicked at all. She stroked the cheek of the baby in the cradle and giggled:
"Mr. Murong underestimated me. I have been in the business for 24 years and have killed more than 8,000 children!"
Murong Fu said: "So you already have a way to die! I promise that in the future you will be in so much pain that you will not want to live anymore. Living is worse than death, and death is not worth it!"
Ye Erniang disagreed and said calmly: "It seems that in your eyes, Master Murong, all of us four evil people have a way to die?"
Murong Fu thought for a moment and said, "Not entirely! Duan Yanqing, the leader of the four evil men, has committed so many evil things that he has no right to die. He is actually the least evil of the four evil men. His greatest evil is just protecting the three of you."
At this moment, a green figure flew out from the valley.
The person who landed on the ground was a strange man in a green robe. He looked like an old man with an ugly face and a long beard that hung down to his chest, all of which were pitch black.
When Ye Erniang and the others saw this, they immediately said, "Boss!"
This man, who was walking with a crutch, was none other than Duan Yanqing, the leader of the four evil men and a man of many evil deeds.
Duan Yanqing looked at Murong Fu, and a sound came from his stomach:
"I didn't expect that Nan Murong, who is famous in the Jiangnan martial arts world, would come to Dali. From what Master Murong said, it seems that his view of me is different from that of the world? I have committed many evil deeds and killed people without leaving any family members alive. Master Murong actually said that I have no way to die. Does Master Murong think that I am a good person in killing people?"
PS: In the serialized version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the only person who was truly indignant about Ye Erniang's atrocities and wanted to kill her to eliminate the evil was Murong Fu. In the serialized version, Ye Erniang even ate children's hearts and livers. When Murong Fu heard about it, he saw that Xuan Nan was unwilling to punish her, so he went up to kill Ye Erniang himself.
Unfortunately, in the serialized version, Ding Chunqiu was too strong and stopped Murong Fu.
In the subsequent triple edition and serialized edition, Murong Fu's image has always been belittled, because he is the cousin!
Jin Yong has always whitewashed Ye Erniang. The Sanlian version deleted the setting of eating hearts and livers, and the revised version changed it to Ye Erniang sending the child to another family, which was equivalent to being a human trafficker for free.
However, I decided to compromise and keep the setting of the triptych version.
