Chapter 208: #208 - The Dangers of the World

The fossilized Jiaolong, trapped underground, was polluting the water source. Jiang Wen collected it into his sleeve dimension, which could be considered solving the village's drinking water problem. As for the things Zhang Daoling left behind, he planned to return them to Longhu Mountain when he had time.

After all, they were relics of the founder of Longhu Mountain, and he didn't plan to keep them. As for the 《Dragon Tiger Mystic Secrets》, without the fossilized Jiaolong as a raw material for alchemy, he couldn't refine any pills and it was useless. Besides, tigers are now protected animals, and taking their blood casually would incur legal responsibility.

On the way back, they didn't encounter any trouble, and it was already dawn when they came out of the well.

Some elderly people were already up early, taking a walk in the village, and some were leading cattle and sheep towards the outside of the village.

As long as it wasn't those overly powerful weapons, such as missiles, armor-piercing bullets, etc., attacking head-on.

Jiang Wen was confident that his Four象 Formation was unbreakable. As for ordinary bullets, he could detect the person before they even fired with his divine sense, let alone someone trying to stab him with a knife at close range.

If a dagger or knife could break his defense, he wouldn't dare to call himself a cultivator anymore, it would be too embarrassing for a cultivator.

In Jiang Wen's impression, the countries of Nanyang had always been chaotic and dilapidated. This time, as he traveled along the way, he did indeed see a lot of old and broken things.

They also encountered several robberies on the road. The robbers pointed guns at him and demanded that he hand over Mo Xiang and money. The ending was, of course, predictable.

Those guns were about as useful as firewood sticks in front of Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen could dodge the bullets they fired.

In the end, Jiang Wen gave each of the robbers a life-threatening talisman, sending them painfully to heaven. As long as they were hit by the life-threatening talisman, Yin energy would gather throughout their bodies. They would have nightmares every day and be unable to eat. In the end, they would starve to death in fear and hunger, truly a well-deserved life-threatening talisman.

"Why are they all so bad?" Mo Xiang asked Jiang Wen curiously.

She had been to the present world twice, and after learning about the thoughts and knowledge of the present world through various channels, she always thought that the world should be peaceful. After all, people's minds were liberated, and they claimed that everyone was equal. There should be far fewer bad people than in the old feudal dynasty. But along the way, Mo Xiang had witnessed all kinds of darkness in human nature, and some methods were even more cruel than the landlords and gentry of the Daqian Dynasty.

For example, she didn't understand why some people would stuff things into their stomachs and desperately try to take them across the border. Why would some people like to cut off people's internal organs and then sell them? These were all scenes that Jiang Wen had shown her in the past few days, and some places were comparable to slaughterhouses.

"No matter how society develops or how much civilization improves, there is no perfect thing in the world, there will always be bad people," Jiang Wen said to her. "It's not that everyone can eat enough now, so they won't do bad things. Think about why the landlords and nobles can eat their fill, but still want to embezzle and exploit the common people? It's just the word 'greed' that drives them."

Mo Xiang listened to Jiang Wen's words and nodded thoughtfully. However, her little face was still furrowed. After eating a mouthful of noodles, she asked again: "Then what should we do?"

"What should we do?" Jiang Wen heard this and pondered for a moment before smiling, tapping her forehead. "Naturally, we should maintain our nature and cultivate uprightness. As long as we do what we think is right, we can be free from guilt."

"I'll take you to do something later, and you'll understand then."

Mo Xiang nodded obediently. Jiang Wen took her hand and then gave each of them an invisibility talisman.

This invisibility talisman is useless to cultivators, after all, maintaining the invisibility talisman requires magic power, and this magic power will naturally expose the existence of the cultivator.

However, the invisibility talisman is a spell imagined by the present world, and it is aimed at ordinary people.

Therefore, this kind of talisman has never been valued by Jiang Wen, and it is only used when he needs to avoid ordinary people.

When facing ordinary people, the invisibility talisman is truly a BUG-like existence. When you put on the invisibility talisman, even surveillance cameras can't see you. It's truly a weapon for robbing and doing evil.

Jiang Wen has many such mysterious and useless talismans, such as the wall-penetrating talisman, the puppet talisman, the hundred-day fetus-protecting talisman, and the thousand-day spirit-stabilizing talisman. There are all kinds of miscellaneous talismans, involving all aspects.

It's just that these were originally all false things, but after Jiang Wen used the stone tablet to deduce them, they all became real spells. This is also why Jiang Wen is confident that he doesn't need to borrow any supernatural powers or flying swords, and can quell any trouble with just talismans.

After the two put on the invisibility talismans, they walked openly towards a park. The park was heavily guarded and didn't look like an ordinary park. Jiang Wen pointed to the buildings not far away and said: "Inside are some people who are doing evil or are being held hostage. If it were you, what would you do?"

When Mo Xiang heard this, she looked up at Jiang Wen and said softly: "Then I still want to see it with my own eyes. If it's really like what Brother Jiang said, Mo Xiang will think about what kind of method to use to solve it."

"Okay, then let's go take a look." Jiang Wen led her into the corridor openly.

The guard watching in the corridor heard footsteps and thought he was hallucinating. But when he heard the footsteps passing by him, he found that there was no one there.

The guard's face immediately turned pale. He looked around in horror, and when he heard the footsteps approaching, he suddenly became very emotional, rolled down the stairs, and then ran away screaming.

Jiang Wen and Mo Xiang looked at each other. They didn't expect the guard to be so timid, just hearing their footsteps scared him to pee.

"What a coward," Mo Xiang said with a smile.

Ignoring the terrified guard, the two came to the office area in the building. They saw hundreds of people sitting in front of computers in a large room, constantly making phone calls.

"Do you know what they're doing?" Jiang Wen asked in a calm tone.
