Zhang Xiaofan looked deeply at the middle-aged scribe in front of him who claimed to be "a man of thousands of people". He had a bad feeling in his heart, but at the same time, there was another force deep in his heart that made him ask involuntarily: "
Please give me some advice, sir."
Wanwan looked at him with a profound look and said slowly: "This short black stick is extremely evil. The black light is smooth and restrained. If a person comes close to it, within three feet, the whole body's energy and blood will be forced by this evil energy."
, pour it into your heart and die.”
Zhang Xiaofan was moved in his heart and couldn't help but said: "Yes, when I encountered this thing, I felt heavy from a distance, felt nauseous, and almost fainted."
Ten Thousand People sighed softly, looked at him and said, "Yes, that's it." He seemed to frown slightly and sighed, "It's really strange that you're not dead."
Zhang Xiaofan didn't hear what he said clearly and asked: "What?"
Wanwanchang smiled slightly, but did not answer him. He only pointed at the fire stick and said: "This black short stick is a naturally powerful and evil thing. It is called 'hundred soul', but it is not a thing of the demon sect. For thousands of years,
He has never been born, and there are only some records in the ancient scrolls. Brother Zhang is so blessed that he was able to obtain these two worldly treasures."
"Capture the soul!" Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice with a dull expression on his face.
"Exactly." Wanwancheng's face regained his composure and said, "There is a record in the ancient book "Ten Chapters of Strange Treasures": There is strange iron in the sky, which falls in the Nine Netherworlds, and the ghosts and ghosts burn the souls of the underworld to refine it. It lasts for thousands of years.
Fang Hong, it took thousands of years to take shape, and it took thousands of years to gather the spirit of ghosts, and it took thousands of years to develop the ability to capture souls. In fact, such ferocious things are beyond the control of human beings. I didn’t expect Brother Zhang..."
"Dang..." With a crisp sound, the black fire stick slipped from Zhang Xiaofan's hand and fell to the ground. Zhang Xiaofan's hands and feet were weak. He only felt that his chest was extremely tight. He staggered back a few steps and stared at the person who had been by his side all these years.
He was holding a fire stick and was speechless.
Thousands of people looked at him with a horrified expression, but suddenly a sneer flashed across his face, saying: "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head hard, almost feeling extremely painful even when he spoke, and murmured: "Why, how could this be like this? I am a disciple of the Qingyun sect, how could I use such evil things?" At this time, he also remembered that day under the abyss of death.
, no wonder those ghost spirits are so afraid of his fire stick, I'm afraid it's probably this "soul-taking" that is to blame.
When thousands of people looked at his appearance, they knew that this young man had grown up in the Qingyun Sect and had never seen much of the world. Now that he had suddenly encountered a big change, he was almost at a loss. Just looking at his appearance, there seemed to be no comfort.
Expressed, he simply said: "Evil thing? What do you think is evil?"
Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be a little lost. He pointed at the fire stick on the ground and said, "Here, this thing has harmed countless living beings. Isn't it an evil thing?"
Ten Thousand People sneered: "If you kill a lot of people, does that mean you are an evil thing?"
Zhang Xiaofan said without even thinking, "Yes."
Ten thousand people had sarcastic expressions on their faces, and the menacing aura gradually emerged from their brows. He looked as if he had changed into a different person. However, Zhang Xiaofan was so confused that he didn't notice. He just listened to ten thousand people's words.
He said: "Excuse me, your Excellency, are boars, sows, black pigs and white pigs all pigs?"
Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect that this sentence would suddenly come out from thousands of people. He was startled for a moment and said: "Of course it is."
Thousands of people went to ask again: "Then lions, goats, tigers and rabbits kill each other, but they are all living creatures? Can they be divided into good and evil?"
Zhang Xiaofan vaguely felt what he meant by what he was going to say, but he still didn't understand, so he could only say: "Yes."
Ten thousand people snorted and said: "Then let me ask you, sir, are the so-called righteous ways and evil ways all human beings?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, intending to refute, but when he reached his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say, so he had to say again: "Yes."
Ten thousand people looked at him with solemn expressions, until Zhang Xiaofan felt a little hairy in his heart, and then they heard him say slowly: "Brother Zhang, there is something in your Qingyun Mountain that is famous all over the world and shocked the past and present."
Do you know about the strange treasure - the ancient sword to kill the immortal?"
Zhang Xiaofan's emotions at this time were almost completely swayed by the thousands of people he met for the first time. He nodded unconsciously and said: "Yes."
Ten Thousand People's face suddenly darkened, and he said sternly: "Then do you still know how many creatures and how many lives were destroyed by this Immortal Killing Sword in the battle between good and evil thousands of years ago?
The magic weapon that really kills the most people and has the most evil aura is probably none more than the Ancient Sword of Killing Immortals that you regard as a god!"
There was a loud buzzing in Zhang Xiaofan's head, and he took a step back involuntarily, as if he had been punched in the face. At the same time, he seemed to feel that there was something faintly deep in his heart.
The place that has been sacred and inviolable since childhood, after a faint and clear echo, a small crack appeared for the first time.
※※※
The sun is shining brightly, shining from the top of the big tree, through the dense leaves, and turns into little bits of broken sun, falling on the ground, and with the constant shaking of the leaves, it is like a naughty child, beating gently.
Occasionally, a few rays of sunshine fell on the young man.
Zhang Xiaofan squatted on the ground, and in front of him was the fire stick lying calmly on the ground. In the shadow, it looked ugly and unsightly. What this man said in the past was actually the same as what Baguio said that day in Kongsang Mountain.
There was not much difference in the words, but when he said it, Zhang Xiaofan felt completely different. Deep in his heart, there was a faint figure, sneering lowly: He is right, he is right.
Thousands of people were sitting calmly aside, drinking tea that had already gone cold. In the distance, the elderly tea stall owner glanced here and then turned away. He had no idea that the young man here was feeling like a turbulent wave in his heart.
The angry sea!
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Xiaofan’s expression gradually calmed down from the original anxiety, struggle, and pain. He slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the fire stick on the ground, stood up, and faced the crowd.
He went and said coldly: "Who are you?"
At this moment, Wan Wan Wang returned to his casual style, and the evil spirit between his brows disappeared. He smiled lightly and said, "Me? I am Wan Wang, just an ordinary person who travels around the world."
Zhang Xiaofan stared at him, slowly tightened his hand on the fire stick, and said: "How can an ordinary person know so many things? Are you a demon from the Demon Cult?"
Ten Thousand People didn't react at all. They just looked at him and said calmly: "Is the distinction between good and evil really so important to you?"
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and said heavily: "Yes!"
Thousands of people sneered and said, "In that case, why are you still using this demonic evil thing in your hand?"
Zhang Xiaofan trembled, but his expression was solemn, and he said: "This fire stick may be a demonic thing, but I use it to kill demons and eliminate demons. It is the right way. I have a clear conscience, just like the ancient sword in our sect that kills immortals."
generally."
Wan Wan was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up and looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, as if he had gotten to know this person again, with a smile on his lips and said: "It's rare that you can think of this level by yourself.
It’s rare that just this kind of thought can surpass you Qingyun, no, most people in the world!”
Zhang Xiaofan ignored him, just stared at him and said, "Who are you?"
Thousands of people went there but did not answer him. Instead, he said: "You are going north this time, but do you want to go back to Qingyun Mountain?"
Zhang Xiaofan was slightly startled and said, "What do you mean?"
Wanwan Xiang smiled slightly and said: "You don't know, right? Now the Demon Sect has re-emerged and its power has increased greatly. Recently, it gathered on Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea. Many people from your Qingyun Sect have gone there to join other sects.
I'm afraid there's going to be a big war, why don't you go and see?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and said: "Is there such a thing?" But he immediately raised his head and said: "That's none of my business, I'll ask you again..." He stopped before he could finish his words, and just lost his mind.
In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of people were gone like ghosts. Even the owner of the tea stall in the distance was nowhere to be seen. There was only a lonely tea stall and Zhang Xiaofan alone.
Zhang Xiaofan looked around blankly. In this broad daylight, for some reason, he felt a chill.
He stood there for a long time, and finally saw him stamp his feet, walk out of the big tree, and go east.
Not long after Zhang Xiaofan left, three or two people came out from behind the big tree. The first one was from Ten Thousands of People, the other was the owner of the tea stall, and the other person was the demon sect girl who Zhang Xiaofan must have been shocked to see - Baguio.
.
Wanwan looked towards the east, nodded slightly, and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, saying: "This young man has a stubborn temper and a determined mind. He looks a bit like me back then."
The tea stall owner standing next to him no longer looked like an old man. Instead, he had bright eyes and a powerful expression. He said: "Sect Master, since he has the treasure of our demon sect in his hand, why don't you keep this person?"
.”
Ten Thousand People was very calm about being called the "Sect Master" and simply said: "Somehow, the Blood Devouring Bead and Soul Capturing Bead were fused by this young man with their essence and blood and became a blood-refined thing. Now this magic weapon has no one but this young man."
, since no one can use it anymore, it’s useless for us to grab it.”
Baguio snorted beside him and said, "I told you why I looked at this stick so weird when I was under the Dead Soul Abyss that day. It turns out it has such a big background."
Wanwan turned to look at Baguio, with a gentle look on his face, and said, "Baguio, what do you think of this young man?"
Baguio's face turned red and she said angrily: "Dad, it was my daughter who asked you to come and see how he is doing today!"
Ten Thousand People smiled and said: "This young man is quite good, but he has been too deeply poisoned by the Qingyun Sect since he was a child. If he wants to join our Holy Religion, with his stubborn temperament, it will be extremely difficult."
Baguio's face suddenly darkened and she sighed softly.
Wan Wan reached out his hand, gently stroked his daughter's hair, and said with a smile: "But he can untie the knot in your heart over the years and make our father and daughter reconcile again. We must return this affection."
Baguio's expression changed and she said happily: "Dad, do you have any idea?"
Thousands of people looked up at the sky, and a power slowly spread out, showing that he was a man who had held great power for a long time. However, for some reason, his expression seemed to be a bit sad. He only heard him say slowly: "I want to
Although it is not easy to change a person's temperament, it is not impossible."
Baguio was beaming with joy, and thousands of people turned their heads, looked in their eyes, and smiled slightly. His expression was the same as that of all fathers in the world when they see their daughters happy. Baguio smiled at his father, but noticed the man next to him.
Frowning, he whispered to thousands of people: "Sect Master, that's just an unknown boy from the Qingyun Sect. Is it worth expending so much effort for us?"
Thousands of people shook their heads and said: "That young man has an unprecedented evil magic weapon in his hand, and it looks like he can actually control it freely. He will definitely not be a thing in the pond in the future. If this kind of talent can be harvested, he will definitely dominate me."
It’s very helpful, not to mention he also did our father and daughter a big favor.”
Baguio nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, I told him that day that if he could join my holy religion, my father would definitely value him, but he just didn't listen."
Thousands of people laughed and said, "How could he listen? With his temper, he grew up in Qingyun, and he has always hated our Holy Religion. But, hey, the Blood-devouring Bead and the Soul-Destroying Bead are the most dangerous things in the world.
Although these objects have been inexplicably refined into a blood-refined magic weapon by this young man, and the evil spirit is restrained and not exposed to the outside, how can it have no impact if these two powerful objects are carried around him? In my opinion, this young man has not yet cultivated enough.
Deep in the night, he is with this fierce thing day and night. As time goes by, he is invaded by the evil spirit in this magic weapon, and his temperament will inevitably change, and he will like to kill and devour blood. When the time comes, the right path will not be with him. No matter how little we try, he will not be able to think of it.
It’s difficult to join my holy religion.” After saying this, he burst into laughter.
Baguio was stunned for a moment. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried. He was speechless. He could only look to the east blankly, but he saw that the sun was shining brightly, the sun was in the middle of the day, and on the ancient road, he was long gone.
A young figure.
※※※
Zhang Xiaofan left the tea stall and headed east alone.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining brightly on the earth. After passing the mountainous area of Kongsang Mountain, there was a fertile wilderness, empty and sparsely populated. There was only one ancient road, which had been trampled by many ancient and modern people. On this wilderness, there was a straight line.
Extending forward.
Zhang Xiaofan did not fly in the air, but walked silently on the ancient road alone. The conversation he had with thousands of people just now had a huge impact on him in his heart. Although he spoke with dignity in front of thousands of people,
, but at this moment, when he was alone, he still couldn't help but ask himself: Am I really right?
The black fire stick was still nestled quietly on his waist, and there was a slight coolness coming from the stick.
Walking, walking, walking...
Under the sky, on the ancient road, a young man full of thoughts suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
The day was blue, high up, and it looked so unattainable.
Zhang Xiaofan stared at it blankly, moved the corner of his mouth slightly, frowned together, and said softly toward the sky, as if toward someone's deep heart:
"What is the purpose of people living in this world?"
※※※
Along the way, Zhang Xiaofan slept in the open air. Although he didn't have much money, he caught some wild birds and rabbits in the wild when he was hungry. When he was sleepy, he found a place to spend the night under a tree. Anyway, he used to do bamboo cutting work on Dazhu Peak, and his body was very heavy.
It's pretty strong, but it doesn't feel hard at all.
In fact, if he held up the fire stick and walked in the air, he would naturally go much faster, but for some reason, he had no such plan. He always felt bored and had those troubles lingering in his heart, so he would rather walk slowly, hoping
Think through the questions in your mind.
However, when it comes to this, the question on Zhang Xiaofan's mind at the moment is something that a young man like him can understand. No matter how much he thinks about it, he always feels that the past teachings of his master are naturally sacred, and he is born to be like this.
It's definitely not wrong; but when I think about what ten thousand people said, it seems to have some truth, and I can't make a choice. I'm really confused.
If it were someone else, such as his sixth senior brother Du Bishu, he would have laughed slyly and ignored it. Anyway, I am under the Qingyun sect, so I would naturally listen to the Qingyun sect's words; and if his senior brother Song Daren has a strict temperament, he will never give up.
Fundamentally, I don’t believe in this so-called evil heretic, and I wouldn’t even think about it.
But Zhang Xiaofan was the only one who was more stubborn than anyone else. When he encountered this problem that almost completely challenged his previous beliefs, he wanted to think hard and come up with a solution.
In this way, he thought hard and walked for three whole days, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
On this day, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that there were more and more pedestrians on the road. He looked forward and saw that there was a small town in front of the ancient road. Although it looked small, it might be on this ancient road, but there were not many people there.
few.
Zhang Xiaofan felt happy and temporarily forgot his worries. There had been very few people on the road for the past three days. Seeing such a small town at this time refreshed his spirits.
Walking closer, I saw a stone tablet standing on the roadside at the entrance of the town, with the three words "Xiaochi Town" engraved on it, which I guess was the name of this town.
Zhang Xiaofan strolled in and heard the voices gradually getting louder. The ancient road ran straight through the small town. There were houses with eaves and some shops beside the road, but more of them were directly on both sides of the road.
The vendors setting up stalls walked along the street, and the sound of hawking could be heard all the time. It was really a picture of the world.
Zhang Xiaofan walked among the crowd, a smile gradually appeared on his lips. When he was still living in Caomiao Village when he was young, he vaguely remembered the same appearance. Compared with the years of cultivation on Qingyun Mountain, the fireworks in the world seemed to have a different flavor.
heart.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang..."
Just when Zhang Xiaofan was still immersed in the memories of the past, suddenly a loud sound of gongs came from the street ahead, which startled him. Then he saw the surrounding townspeople speeding up and running forward.
As I went, I occasionally heard a few people walking and talking: "Let's go quickly, the mayor has called for a speech."
"I think that's what happened?"
"Yes, I heard that the mayor, Li Baozhang, Fan Xiucai and others discussed it all night last night. I wonder if they can come up with a solution?"
"I hope there is a way, otherwise it will be impossible to live this life!"
…
Zhang Xiaofan heard this, his curiosity was piqued, and he followed the flow of people forward. He saw people gathering around him. After a while, there were two to three hundred people at a stone platform in the center of the town.
It was surrounded.
Zhang Xiaofan stood in the crowd and looked in the middle. He saw that the stone platform was about half a person high and looked relatively smooth. There were three people standing on it, two old and one young. They must be the mayor whom he heard about just now. With Li Baochang and Fan Xiucai.
Seeing that people were almost here, the oldest of the three people on the stone platform stood up and waved to the townspeople below, and the townspeople gradually became quiet.
When it was completely quiet, the old man looked around and said in a serious tone: "Fellow fellow villagers, we have summoned everyone here today. I believe everyone knows what happened. Since three months ago, the evildoer has been living in the 'Black Stone Cave' ten miles outside the town. Since then, they have been harassing this town non-stop. In the past month, they have intensified, coming night and night, taking away countless cattle, sheep and poultry. What's more, three days ago, the Wang family father and his son killed each other for the last cow in the family. He resisted, but was... alas, and unfortunately died at the hands of that evildoer."
There was a burst of sighs from the surrounding townspeople, and a few even cursed loudly. Zhang Xiaofan understood most of it in his heart, but he still didn't know what the monster was.
At this time, the mayor said again: "As the mayor, I can't keep the town safe. I'm really ashamed. After discussing with Li Baozhang and Fan Xiucai last night, I thought that since this monster is extraordinary, he is not an ordinary person like us." If we can resist it, we might as well put up a notice and ask some Taoist masters to come back and collect the demons. As for the cost, I need your full support."
As soon as he finished speaking, the townspeople in the audience said one after another: "What the mayor said makes sense. He should invite the master to come back and catch the monster."
"If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will be eaten by that monster. Do you still care about the little money?"
"Yep……"
The three people on the stage saw that most of the townspeople agreed, and the mayor seemed relieved and said: "In that case, I also asked Fan Xiucai to write a notice last night, and then posted it." After that, he said to the scholar. The handsome young man nodded, and the scholar responded, took out a piece of white paper from his arms with some writing on it, walked down the stone platform, walked to a brick wall standing next to it, and pasted it on it.
The townspeople immediately rushed over, and Zhang Xiaofan also followed and took a look, only to see the writing on the paper:
Today, there is a demonic three-tailed demon fox living in a black stone cave ten miles outside the town. It hides day and night, harasses the town, robs poultry, cattle and sheep, and even hurts people. However, its demonic magic is powerful. Now I invite an expert to serve the people. To eliminate the harm, Xiaochi Town is willing to thank him with five hundred taels of silver.
Zhang Xiaofan saw that the sign was signed by a citizen of Xiaochi Town, and heard the surrounding residents expressing their approval. He hesitated for a moment, originally intending to do this kind deed, but when he thought of what the townspeople and the mayor said just now, he was afraid that this monster was very powerful. It's tight. My magic power is low. It's a trivial matter not to be able to defeat the monster. If I accidentally lose my life and lose the face of my master, I can't afford it.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a sudden uproar among the surrounding townspeople. He quickly raised his head and was startled. He saw a giant man walking over from outside. Wherever he went, he only touched the crowd with his hands. Then it parted to the side like water.
When the giant man came closer, Zhang Xiaofan could see clearly. He looked like he was not very old, at most around twenty, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and wide ears, which matched his amazing figure. A powerful aura came towards me.
Among the crowd, the tallest one only reached his shoulders, and he really stood out from the crowd.
I saw him striding to the wall, reading the notice carefully, and pulling it down without saying a word.
There was an exclamation in the crowd, and the giant man turned around and glanced at the people around him. The townspeople immediately fell silent. The giant man could only be heard saying in a loud voice: "I am the Lord Dali, the master of the Vajra Gate."
"The only successor is Shitou. I came out to practice under the orders of my master. I am here today and have done this meritorious deed for you."
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and searched his mind, but he had never heard of this Vajra Sect or any other cultivation sect.
Everyone around was staring at him. At this time, the mayor and others also rushed over and walked up to the giant man who called himself Shitou. The mayor said cautiously: "This... strong man, that monster is very powerful, not
, ahem, just being strong doesn’t mean it’s enough, maybe your life is in danger, you have to think about it carefully?”
The giant man nodded, glanced at the mayor, and said in a low voice: "Don't you believe me?"
The mayor was stared at by his huge eyes, and felt a little nervous. He immediately said bravely: "No, no, I just want to remind you."
The giant man turned his head and looked around. After a moment, his eyes fell on the brick wall where the notice was posted.
"Is this wall useful to you?"
The mayor was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "It's not of much use on weekdays. It's just a matter of posting notices."
The giant man named Shitou laughed and suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way."
The sound was like thunder, and Zhang Xiaofan's ears were buzzing. Not to mention the other townsfolk, all their faces turned pale. Within a moment, a large empty space was opened in the field, and only the giant man stood in the middle.
.
He frowned and raised his hands, suddenly stamped his right foot on the ground, formed a seal with one hand, recited a short mantra in a low voice, and shouted loudly:
"rise!"
"Hoo", a gust of wind suddenly came out from around the giant man, whizzing past everyone's ears. It almost made people unable to stand, and everyone turned pale. "Kick, kick, kick" and took a few steps back. Only a golden light was seen.
As soon as he got up, the giant man suddenly sacrificed a huge golden mace, which lay horizontally in the air with a bright golden light. The word "Breaking Evil" was engraved on it, which looked a bit solemn.
Everyone cheered immediately, but Zhang Xiaofan stood in the crowd, but frowned. He had gained universal wisdom and taught the true method of "Brahma Prajna". Although no one taught him these years, he had practiced it secretly and had no knowledge of Buddhism.
I know a little bit about the cultivation methods. The mace offered by the giant man called Shitou in front of me has a solemn golden light. Looking at his spell-casting gestures, it is somewhat similar to the Universal Wisdom of the past. I am afraid that it is probably the same as the Buddhist cultivation method.
It has some origins.
This golden mace with brilliant golden light was extremely huge. It seemed to be even bigger than its owner. At this time, it was held in the air by the stone. The golden light shone brightly. The stone opened its eyes wide and pointed out the magic formula.
The mace whistled in the air and hit his head.
Everyone exclaimed!
"Boom", with the loud noise, dust flew up, and the originally good brick wall turned into powder in a moment under his magic power.
"Wow..." The townspeople present were all dumbfounded, and then they all smiled. Since this giant man has such power, it is naturally easy to get rid of the three-tailed demon fox. The mayor walked out first, laughing non-stop.
, said: "Stone Warrior is very capable, so I'll leave it to you."
Shitou nodded.
The mayor paused for a moment, then a trace of hesitation suddenly flashed across his face, and then he said: "But there is one thing that I hope Stone Warrior can understand."
This strong man named Shitou may have spoken in an angry tone, but he still said the same at this moment: "Old man, please speak."
The mayor said: "As for the rewards, because they are all the hard-earned money of the townspeople, I hope that we can wait until the strong men get rid of the evildoers, and then..."
Unexpectedly, when Shitou heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Before I went out, my master told me that we are righteous people. When encountering evildoers, we should step forward without hesitation. This is to hone our spiritual practice."
As for money or not, there is no need to mention it anymore, you just need to give me a good meal, and I will have the strength to get rid of the demon."
The mayor was overjoyed after hearing this. There is nothing better than such a cheap thing. He immediately said: "Of course, of course. Come with me, strong man. I will definitely satisfy you."
Zhang Xiaofan listened to Shitou's words. For some reason, Zhang Xiaofan felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He felt very ashamed at the moment. He felt that in the past, his master and his wife had also taught fellow disciples like this. How could he become so afraid when things happened? He really had disgraced his master.
s face.
Thinking of this, his blood surged, and he felt that he was from a well-known and upright family. How could he ignore this matter? He thought about it and took a step forward, revealed his identity, and went to eliminate the demon together with the stone.
Unexpectedly, he had only raised his feet three points, and the moment he had just left the ground, he suddenly heard a voice beside him, saying with a bit of anxiety and urgency: "Ah, this little brother, you are covered with dark clouds, and Yintang is hairy."
Black, with a dead look on his face, something is very wrong!"
Zhang Xiaofan was originally full of confidence. When the words reached his throat, he was about to speak out and do something righteous. Unexpectedly, someone said these words in his ear. He was frightened and choked on the words.
When I went back, I accidentally stumbled and stepped on the wrong place, stepping on a pile of dog feces.
This anger was extraordinary. Zhang Xiaofan jumped up, but felt that his feet stunk. Although he was separated by the soles of his shoes, he felt a chill in his heart and felt his whole body tremble. At that moment, he turned around bitterly, wanting to take a look at what he was saying.
Who is the person?
I saw an old man standing next to me. His beard and hair were all white, his face was mediocre, and he looked a bit like a crane-bone fairy. He looked like a master, which made people feel a bit respectful at first glance.
Next to the old man, there was an eight or nine-year-old little girl with two braids that towered over the sky. She was lively and cute. She was holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand and was eating it with relish.
Zhang Xiaofan was momentarily overwhelmed by the old man's grace and could not curse. He was just thinking about what to say when he saw the old man glance at his feet. Not only did he not look apologetic, but he looked even more anxious and said, "Look,
, look, isn’t this a big omen?”
Zhang Xiaofan was surprised and said: "What?"
The old man glanced at him and said earnestly: "Haven't you heard of the saying: if you step on dog poop, bad luck will come to you; nine out of ten people will die, and bad luck will be everywhere?"
Zhang Xiaofan was speechless and said in a daze: "No, I only heard from my senior brothers before that people would say that people would say that they were lucky because they were lucky..."
The old man was stunned for a moment, shook his head repeatedly, and said: "Confused, confused, it's just nonsense."
Zhang Xiaofan said: "What's wrong?"
The old man said: "Now that I have said that, do you usually step on dog poop on purpose?"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled, remembering that day on Dazhu Peak, because he was the youngest, he often had to do some dirty work, and the big dog Da Huang raised by his master Tian Buyi...
Immediately he shook his head.
The old man nodded and said, "Have you ever seen anyone stepping on dog poop on purpose?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said: "How could such a thing happen?"
"That's right!" The old man clapped his hands and said, "If there really is such a thing as shit luck, how can it be that everyone should avoid it? Moreover, shit is an extremely filthy thing in time, and the stench reaches the sky, and everyone
If you step on disgust, isn't it not bad luck, but good luck?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan felt that these words made sense. It seemed that he had indeed been wrong before. When he thought about what the old man said just now, they were really alarmist. He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat and said: "That old man
You just said that I..."
The old man frowned and looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, which made Zhang Xiaofan feel anxious. Then he said: "Well, it seems that you are indeed in danger of something serious. Why don't you please step aside and let me take a look at it for you?"
How about the last photo?"
"Reading a fortune?" Zhang Xiaofan was startled for a moment, and then he noticed that the old man was holding a bamboo pole with a piece of white cloth hanging on it, with four words written on it: Immortal Guidance.
It turned out that he was a fortune teller, but even so, Zhang Xiaofan did not feel contempt in his heart. The reason was that Patriarch Qingyun who founded the Qingyun Sect was also a fortune teller. Of course, no one in the Qingyun Sect knows this profession now.
Yes, but the Qingyun sect has always been very friendly to the fortune tellers. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors?
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, but realized that just as he was talking to the old man, the townspeople had already walked far away surrounded by the giant man named Shitou. He calmed down and thought that he should let the old man take a look first.
Look, it’s okay. Anyway, the mayor just said that he would treat the giant man to a full meal before he can eliminate the demon. It seems there is still time.
Thinking of this, he turned around and said to the old man: "Well, please help me take a look at my face."
The old man laughed, pointed to a big tree by the road, and said, "Then let's go there to talk." After that, he turned around and walked away.
Zhang Xiaofan was about to follow when he suddenly heard a crisp voice beside him: "Big brother."
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned when he saw that it was the little girl who was standing next to the old man eating candied haws just now. She called him for some reason at this moment. Zhang Xiaofan looked at her rosy face, which was extremely cute. He leaned down with a smile and said, "What's the matter?"
Ah, little sister?"
The little girl chewed at the corner of her mouth and spit out a few cores. She looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a half-smile on her face and said, "There is still dog poop under your feet, it stinks!"
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaofan immediately turned red, jumped up, and shook his feet desperately to shake off the dirt on his shoes.
The little girl looked at his embarrassed look, smiled, turned around, and skipped to the old man standing under the tree.
