"?" Zhou Xiaoxian looked confused: "Teacher, you are saying something I don't understand again."
"It's just nothing." Xia Yi smiled and said, "Let's go to Wangjiang Tower."
Zhou Xiaoxian said "Oh" and followed Xia Yi.
Habit is a terrible thing. Since becoming Xia Yi's teacher, she has eaten every dinner at Wangjiang Tower, spending an average of more than thirty taels. In the past, she would not even think about it, but now she still does.
I feel bad about the expense, but I enjoy it very much.
Those medicinal foods were nourishing, and she could clearly feel that her strength was improving faster.
In addition, there is a large house where the two of them live now. It has a main room, a side room, a lower room and even a rain porch. It is luxuriously decorated and has exquisite screens. Naturally, the price is not cheap.
When she first moved in, she was cautious for fear of breaking something, but now she can dance the sword freely in the courtyard, and the habit has become natural. Of course, her stingy character has not changed. For example, she is the sweeper of this big house.
Xia Yi refused to hire anyone to do it. Instead, he did it himself and practiced cultivation.
They walked all the way to Wangjiang Tower and sat in a familiar private room. By chance, the waiter who received them was Chen Guang, who was slightly lame.
"Old man, are you still the same?"
Inquiring, he raised his hand and wiped his face gently, and asked strangely: "Little girl, is there something wrong with me today? Why are you always staring at me?"
"Haha, girl, don't do this, you'll make others look embarrassed."
"No..." Zhou Xiaoxian murmured and looked at Xia Yi, "Aren't you the teacher who was curious about the story behind him in the first place? Why did you come to investigate clearly, but you didn't ask anything?"
After a pause, she couldn't hide her curiosity and asked tentatively: "Uncle Chen, were you a student of the Holy Academy before? Or were you the current senior brother?"
Chen Guang's humble smile faltered, and then he said calmly: "I don't deserve to call you Uncle Chen. Where did you hear about me?"
"Well, it doesn't matter where you heard it from. It's all in the past." Chen Guang shook his head again: "Now I am just a waiter in Wangjiang Tower. In the future, I may become another waiter.
The shopkeeper of a big restaurant? Haha..."
"So you are really..."
"Girl, don't ask people about their sadness in person." Xia Yi interrupted.
Zhou Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment, then quickly stood up and bowed apologetically: "I'm sorry, Uncle Chen."
"Hey, I can't help it." Chen Guang quickly turned sideways to avoid Zhou Xiaoxian's bow, with a humble smile on his face, and said: "There's nothing I can't say. In fact, I wanted to tell you, little girl, a few times ago.
, and I’m afraid it will be too abrupt.”
Zhou Xiaoxian was startled: "How many times earlier?"
Chen Guang nodded and said: "I see that every time the old man pays, little girl, you look very distressed. I think you are a person who knows how to live."
"Just say she is greedy for money." Xia Yi smiled and said, "You're welcome."
"Teacher~"
Chen Guangdao: "It's okay to be greedy for money, but you must... don't let money blind you."
Zhou Xiaoxian was confused, but Xia Yi suddenly said: "The Holy Spirit of the Bad Rat?"
"Yes, the old man is very knowledgeable."
"What is the Holy Soul of the Bad Rat? What is the classification of the Holy Soul? Are there not only three types of Holy Soul: General, Comprehensive, and God-given?" Zhou Xiaoxian asked.
Xia Yi lay back and said slowly with reminiscence: "That was a story from a long time ago. About a thousand years ago, when the human and demon clans were fighting endlessly, human heroes emerged one after another."
"One of the heroes was named Si, and he protected a human race. His name cannot be verified. One time, he was accidentally attacked by a big demon from the rat tribe. His wife and children were all captured by the big demon."
"The big demon used his wife and children as a threat to make him betray the human race. For the sake of the lives of his wife and children, the hero named Si planned to compromise and pretended to cooperate with the big rat demon to find an opportunity to rescue them."
"However……"
"But what happened?" Seeing Xia Yi's long voice, Zhou Xiaoxian asked quickly.
"He succeeded, but also failed." Xia Yi shook his head and said: "He rescued his wife and children, but not long after, he took his wife and children back to the hands of the rat demon, completely betraying the human race!"
"……why?!"
"During his relationship with Rat Yaoxu, he unknowingly realized a three-star holy soul - the demon slave, which made him unable to control his own heart!"
"Demon slave?! Is there such a holy soul?"
"Yes, in the middle of the war between humans and demons, demon slaves are the most difficult enemy to defend against." Xia Yi sighed: "The comrades who fought alongside you one day may take your life the next day!"
"The Demon Slave Holy Soul has become the demon clan's best means of controlling the human race, and because it was first discovered by the rat clan's great demon, it was called the Evil Rat Holy Soul!"
As Xia Yi narrated, a sense of vicissitudes of life infected Zhou Xiaoxian's mind, making her eyes well up with tears. After Xia Yi found out, she quickly adjusted her emotions and continued:
"Later on, the Evil Rat Holy Soul was expanded. Anyone who had a negative effect on the monks was collectively called the Evil Rat Holy Soul. Due to some concerns, the Holy Academy now does not teach students about the Evil Rat Holy Soul before advanced classes.
knowledge."
Xia Yi's face twitched, and he raised an example he had just learned about in a low voice: "You should know the story of the Martial Saint Guan Yu who defeated five tribes and killed six monsters. Things were not that simple back then. During this period, Guan Yu had already branded the Five-Star Bad Rat.
The son-in-law of the Holy Soul Fox King was able to abolish him with his own perseverance, so he was respected as loyal and loyal by future generations."
"So that's it." Chen Guang heard the words and continued, "Back then, I felt that the deeds of Lord Martial Saint were a bit strange. He destroyed the five-star bad rat holy soul with his perseverance. He is worthy of being Lord Martial Saint."
Xia Yi smiled: "It's good to be able to destroy the one-star and two-star bad rat holy souls with perseverance. Those related to money, such as forgetting one's kindness when seeing profit and being blinded by money, are all one- and two-star.
"
Eyes open when seeing money? Zhou Xiaoxian's face was slightly tense.
"Moreover," Xia Yi continued: "It is risky to destroy the Holy Soul by yourself. After all, we have to use the power of the Holy Soul to attack our own soul apertures. If we are not careful, we will cause damage to our three souls."
"In severe cases, you will die on the spot. In mild cases, you will easily lose your spiritual path. Even if your limbs are obviously healthy, you suddenly find that you are speechless, can't move one hand, and one leg... is lame?"
Zhou Xiaoxian's face tightened even more, and he suddenly looked at Chen Guang in surprise.
Chen Guang's humble smile was mixed with a hint of bitterness, and he said: "Old man, you really exposed my scars in front of my face. You guessed it...all right."
"It's a pity that there is almost no hope of treatment for this kind of injury." Xia Yi sighed: "When I shattered my holy soul, if I had a thousand-year-old soul ginseng and some medicinal materials for nourishing the three souls, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
, so girl, you don’t have to be too nervous, I’m here, it doesn’t matter.”
Zhou Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Xia Yi say: "It only costs ten thousand taels of silver."
Ten thousand taels? Oh my God, so expensive?!
Zhou Xiaoxian's eyes widened, and he felt something was wrong. He couldn't feel sorry for the money, he couldn't feel sorry for the money, he had to spend it when he should. Oh, it's still wrong. Why did the teacher say that I seemed to have...
The color on her little face changed all over, as if she had opened a small dyeing shop. Finally, she looked at Xia Yi angrily: "Teacher, you are so bad!"
Xia Yi couldn't stop laughing.
Chen Guang was also a little saddened by the small interaction between master and apprentice, and said: "It's better to avoid it if you can. Even if you spend ten thousand taels of silver to get the soul-protecting holy medicine, there is still a very small chance of damage."
Three Souls are not foolproof."
Xia Yi's smile faded slightly and she looked at Chen Guang.
Chen Guang was startled: "Old man?"
Xia Yi shook his head slightly and said resolutely: "There is no problem with the medicine, it is foolproof!"
Chen Guang hesitated for a while, then smiled emphatically and said: "Hey, the news I heard was wrong. Back then, I couldn't even make ten thousand taels of silver by selling iron. Alas, it's over.
Okay, old man, I’ve been listening to your stories for a long time. It’s time for the master to scold you. You’re still the same, right? I’ll give you the order.”
Xia Yi hummed and watched him go out, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
Outside the private room, as soon as the door was closed, Chen Guang seemed to have had all his strength drained away. He closed his eyes slumpedly and leaned against the door, his face full of pain.
