Chapter 48: Small Towns
Zhang Xiaofan looked deeply at the middle-aged scribe who called himself "Ten Thousand Years Ago" in front of him, and his heart was flooded with bad premonitions, but at the same time, deep down, there was another kind of power, which made him ask uncontrollably, "Please instruct me, sir."
Wan Xiang gave him a meaningful glance and slowly said, "This black short stick is extremely heavy, the black light is moist and inwardly convergent, if a person is close to it, not within three feet, the whole body's qi and blood will definitely be forced by the deadly qi, pouring into the heart and die."
Zhang Xiaofan's heart stirred and he couldn't help but say, "Not bad, when I first encountered this thing, from afar, I felt my body sinking, nausea and wanting to vomit, and I almost fainted."
Wan Yi sighed softly and looked at him, "Not bad, that's it," he said, seemingly frowning slightly and let out a low sigh, "You actually don't die, it's really strange."
Zhang Xiaofan didn't hear what he said afterward and asked after him, "What?"
Ten thousand people towards a slight smile, but do not answer to him, only pointing to the burning stick said: "This black short stick, this is born with a great evil thing, named 'soul regeneration', but not the devil's religion, thousands of years have never been out of the world, only in the ancient scrolls on some records, Zhang small brother lucky fortune is deep, actually can get these two pieces of the world's supreme treasures."
"Soul Regeneration!" Zhang Xiaofan's face was wooden as he recited in a low voice.
"Precisely." Wan Xiang's face regained its calmness and said, "There was a record in the ancient book 'The Ten Articles of Exotic Treasures': there is a strange iron in the sky, which falls in the Nine Hells, and the ghost fire of the Underworld burns Yin Spirit and Knightly Spirit in order to refine it, and it is red for a thousand years, and it is shaped for a thousand years, and it is a thousand years of gathering the ghosts and Knightly Spirit and a thousand years of becoming a Soul Regenerating ability. In fact, this kind of evil things, this is not a living person can grasp, I did not expect Zhang Xiaobo..."
"Clang..." a crunch, the black fire stick from the hands of Zhang Xiaofan slipped down, fell to the ground, Zhang Xiaofan hands and feet are soft, only to feel chest tightness, staggered back a few steps, staring at these years has been accompanied by their own fire stick, actually can not speak.
Wan Xiang looked at his horrified expression, but a cold smile suddenly swept across his face, saying, "Zhang Xiaobo, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head so hard that he almost found it painful to even speak, muttering, "How, how could this be, I'm a member of the Qingyun Sect, how could I have used such an evil thing?" At this time, he also remembered that day under the Dead Spirit Abyss, no wonder those evil spirits would be so afraid of his burning stick, I'm afraid that most of them are this "soul-taking" monster.
Ten thousand people to look at his appearance, we know that this young man has always been in the Qingyun door grew up, never seen anything in the world, and now suddenly encountered a big change, almost at a loss for words, just look at his appearance, but it seems that there is no consolation expressed, only faintly said: "Evil things? What do you think is evil?"
Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be a bit disoriented, pointing at the burning stick on the ground in a daze, "This, this thing has harmed an unknown number of living beings, is it still not an evil thing?"
Ten Thousand Years Past sneered, "Is it an evil thing if it kills a lot of people?"
Zhang Xiaofan almost didn't even think about it and said, "Yes."
Ten thousand people to the face has a sneer color, between the eyebrows of the Wei Shi Qi gradually revealed, the whole person looks as if they have changed into another person in general, but Zhang Xiaofan's heart is chaotic, but did not notice. Only to hear the ten thousand people to say: "May I ask your honor, boar and sow, black pig and white pig, can all be pigs?"
Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect Wan Xiang to suddenly come up with this sentence, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "Naturally."
Wan Xiang added: "Then lions and goats, tigers and rabbits, killing each other, are they all living beings? Can there be a difference between good and evil?"
Zhang Xiaofan vaguely sensed that he was going to say something, but his mind still did not understand the meaning, so he could only say, "Yes."
Wan Xiang hummed and said, "Then may I ask Your Excellency again, your so-called righteous and evil paths, can they all be human?"
Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded for a moment, and had the intention to retort, but when he reached his mouth, he realized that he had no words to say, so he could only say again, "Yes."
Wan Wan Yi had a solemn face and looked at him deeply, until he looked at Zhang Xiaofan's heart was a little hairy, then he heard him slowly say, "Little brother Zhang, your Qing Yun Mountain has a famous and world-famous, ancient mountain treasure - the Ancient Sword Exorcism, do you know about it?"
Zhang Xiaofan's emotions at this point had almost been completely swayed by this first time meeting Wan Xiang, and he unconsciously nodded his head and said, "Yes."
Wan Man Zhi's face suddenly sank, and he said sternly, "Then do you still know how many living beings this Immortal Execution Sword killed and how many lives it destroyed in that battle between the righteous and the devils a thousand years ago? If we talk about the world's magic treasures today, the one that really kills the most people and has the heaviest fury, I'm afraid that there is nothing more than the Immortal Execution Sword that you worship as a god!"
Zhang Xiaofan's head boomed loudly, and he could not help but take a step backward, as if he had been punched in the face.
At the same time, it was as if he felt that, in the deep heart, there was something that was vaguely sacred and inviolable since childhood, yet for the first time, a small crack appeared after a clear echo of a hidden sound.
The sun was shining brightly, shining down from the tops of the big trees, through the dense foliage, turning into a little bit of tiny broken sunshine, falling on the ground, along with the non-stop swaying of the leaves, like a mischievous child, gently jumping in general.
Occasionally, there were a few points of sunlight that fell on the teenager.
Zhang Xiaofan squatted on the ground, and in front of him was the burning stick lying calmly on the ground, in the shadows, it looked unsightly and ugly.
The words spoken by this Man Wan Xiang were actually not too different in meaning from what Baguio said that day in the Empty Mulberry Mountain, but when they came out of his mouth, Zhang Xiaofan felt very different, and deep inside, there was a figure that vaguely sneered in a low voice: He is right, he is right.
Ten thousand people sat calmly on the sidelines, drinking tea that had long since cooled.
In the distance, the older tea stall owner glanced here, and then turned away, completely unaware that the teenager here, just as the rough sea of anger in his heart!
I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Xiaofan's face gradually calmed down from his original anxiety, struggle, and pain, and he slowly stretched out his hand, grasped the burning stick on the ground in his hand, stood up, and turned to Wanxiang, and coldly said, "Who exactly are you?"
Ten Thousand Years ago at this moment, he resumed his casual style, the original fury between his eyebrows disappeared, and faintly smiled, "Me? I am Wan Man Zhui! A mere mortal who travels the world."
Zhang Xiaofan stared at him, his grip on the burning stick slowly tightening as he said, "And how could a mere mortal know so much? Are you a demon from the Devil Sect?"
Wan Wan Yi didn't have much of a reaction, just looked at him and faintly said, "Is the difference between good and evil really that important to you?"
Zhang Xiaofan breathed deeply and said heavily, "Yes!"
Wan Wan Yi suddenly laughed coldly and said, "Since that's the case, why are you still using this devilish evil thing in your hand?"
Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, but his expression was awe-inspiring as he said, "This burning stick may be an evil demonic object, but if I use it to cut down the demons and eliminate the devils, that is the right path, and I will have a clear conscience, just like what you said about the ancient sword Punisher of Immortals in my sect."
Wan Wan Xiang froze for a moment, slowly stood up and looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, as if he had reacquainted himself with this person, and the corner of his mouth actually revealed a smile, saying, "You can actually think of this layer on your own, rare, rare, just this kind of mind, it outshines your Qingyun, no, it's the majority of the people in the world!"
Zhang Xiaofan ignored him and only stared at him, "What exactly are you?"
Wan Xiang did not answer him, but instead said, "You are traveling north this time, but are you going back to your Qing Yun Mountain?"
Zhang Xiaofan was slightly stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"
Wan Xiang smiled faintly and said, "You don't know yet, do you! Nowadays, the devil sect has re-emerged, its power is greatly expanded, recently gathered in the East China Sea on Liu Bo Mountain, your Qing Yun Sect went to a lot of people, and met the other sects there, I'm afraid that there is a big battle, why don't you go and take a look?"
Zhang Xiaofan froze for a moment and said, "There is actually this matter?" But he then looked up, mouth said: "that does not concern me, I ask you again..." words before finishing will be cut off, only this a lapse of concentration work, the ten thousand people to even like a ghost in general no figure, and even in the distance that watch the tea stall boss is no trace, only a lonely tea stall, and Zhang Xiaofan a person.
Zhang Xiaofan looked around in a daze, in this broad daylight, somehow, he felt a chill.
He stood in place for a long time, and finally saw him stomping his feet, walking out of this big tree and heading east.
Zhang Xiaofan walked soon, from behind the tree, turned out three or two people, when the first one is ten thousand people, a person is the tea stall boss, another person, but let Zhang Xiaofan saw must have been surprised by the devil's teachings of the young girl - Baguio.
Ten thousand people to look to the east, slightly nodded, the corner of the mouth side of a smile, said: "This young man stubborn nature, determined, but a few points like me back then."
The tea stall owner standing beside him had long since ceased to look like an old man at this moment, but instead, his eyes were shining brightly and his demeanor was formidable, saying, "Patriarch, since there is a heavy treasure in his hands from our Demon Sect, why don't you leave this person behind?"
Ten Thousand Years ago to be called "Patriarch" to deal with frankly, only faintly said: "Blood devouring bead and regenerate the soul somehow, actually by this young man with the essence of blood fusion, into the blood refining things. Now this magic treasure in addition to this teenager, no one can drive use again, we snatch it is also useless."
Bi Yao grunted from the side and said, "I said how I looked at this rod oddly under the Dead Spirit Abyss that day, it turns out to have such a big origin."
Wan Wan Xiang turned his head to look at Bi Yao, his face was greatly softened, saying, "Bi Yao, what do you think of this teenager?"
Baguio's face flushed red, and snapped, "Father, today was meant for my daughter to let you come and see how he is!"
Wan Xiang laughed and said, "This teenager is still good, but since childhood, he has been poisoned too deeply by the Green Cloud Sect's gateway, if he wants to join our Holy Sect, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to enter the Holy Sect, with his stubborn nature."
Baguio's face suddenly dimmed, low voice sighed softly.
Wan Xiang reached out his hand and gently caressed his daughter's hair, smilingly saying, "But he was able to untie the knot in your heart for many years, allowing us father and daughter to reconcile again, this sentiment, we must return it."
Baguio's complexion moved as she joyfully said, "Father, you have a way?"
Ten thousand people to look at the sky, a force of power slowly emanated, showing that he is a long years of power in the hands of the characters, but somehow, look at his look, but seems to have a few points of pathos, only to hear him slowly said: "To change a person's nature, although not easy, but not without a method."
Bi Yao joyful, ten thousand people turn his head to see in his eyes, slightly smile, that look and all the fathers in this world when they see their daughters rejoice is generally the same.
Baguio smiled at his father, but noticed the man beside him frowning, whispering to Wan Ren Xiang, "Patriarch, that's just a nameless kid from the Qing Yun Sect, is it worth it for us to spend so much effort?"
Wan Man Xiang shook his head and said, "That young man has a great evil magic treasure in his hand that has never existed in the past, and looking at him, he can actually manipulate it freely, in the future, it must not be a pool of things, this kind of talent, if I can collect it, it will definitely be very helpful to my hegemony, not to mention that he also helped our father and daughter a great favor."
Baguio nodded her head and said, "That's right, I said to him that day, if he can join my Holy Sect, father will surely value him, he just won't listen."
Ten Thousand Years lost his smile and said, "How could he listen? That nature of his, growing up in the Green Cloud Sect, he has long since abhorred our Sacred Sect. Only, hey, blood devouring bead and soul taking are the most ferocious things in the world, although nowadays, this teenager has somehow refined into a blood refining magic treasure, and the ferociousness is internalized and not exposed, but these two great ferocious things are brought around, how can they have no effect? In my opinion, this young man's cultivation is not deep, day and night and this great evil together, a long time, by this treasure within the hostility of the invasion, the nature of the inevitable change, good killing blood, when the right way is not allowed to him, and then we are a small trick, he would like not to enter my holy religion is also difficult." Said and laughed.
Baguio stayed for a moment, a moment in the heart can not say is joy or worry, actually can not speak, only to look to the east in a daze, but see the sun is bright, the day just in the middle of the ancient road, but early disappeared that a young man's silhouette.
※※※
Zhang Xiaofan left the tea stall, alone to the east.
At this time is the noon, the sun shines on the earth, after the mountainous area of the empty Sangshan Mountain, is a piece of wilderness, open and few people. There is only an ancient road, I don't know how many ancient and modern people have stepped on it, in this wilderness, extending straight forward.
Zhang Xiaofan did not fly in the air, but instead walked alone and silently on top of the ancient path. The conversation he had just had with Ten Thousand People, the impact on him internally could not be said to be small.
Although he spoke with righteousness in the face of the Ten Thousand People, at this moment, when he was alone, he still could not help but ask himself, "Could it be that I am really right?"
The black burning stick is still quietly nestled in his waist, if anything, from the body of the stick comes the slightest bit of coolness.
Walking, walking, walking...
Under the dome of the sky, on the old road, the young man, full of worries, suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
That day is blue, high up, look so unattainable.
Zhang Xiaofan looked on in a daze, the corners of his mouth moved gently, his brows furrowed together in thought, toward the sky, as if also toward the deep heart of whoever it was, and said softly, "What is it that people live in the world for?"
※※※
This way, Zhang Xiaofan wind food and sleep, the body of silver, although not much, but he was hungry in the wild to catch some wild birds and rabbits, sleepy when he found a tree to cope with the night, anyway, he in the past in the big bamboo peak because of doing the bamboo cutting homework, the body is also quite strong, and does not feel the hard work.
In fact, if he Royal fire stick and air travel, naturally much faster, but somehow, he did not have such an intention, always feel bored, there are always those troubled wrapped up in the mind, would rather slowly, hoping to put their own mind to think of a clear understanding of the doubts.
But Zhang Xiaofan at the moment the heart of the problem, but how is he such a teenager can think of understanding, let him think through the head, always feel that the teacher's past teachings are naturally sacred, born to be so, never wrong; but then think of that ten thousand people said words, but as if there are a few points of truth, trade-offs, really is confused.
If other people, such as his sixth senior brother Du Bishu, will be a thief laughed, throw away regardless of, anyway, I am in the Qingyun door, naturally listen to the words of the Qingyun door; and if his eldest brother, Song Daren, austere, fundamentally do not believe in this so-called evil demons and foreign paths, it is not even think about the idea will not be there.
Only Zhang Xiaofan, who is more stubborn than anyone else, encountered this problem which is almost a total challenge to his past beliefs, and wanted to think about it and come up with an understanding.
So, he buried his head and thought hard, walked for three whole days, but still can not think of a reason.
※※※
This day, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt the road gradually more and more people, staring ahead, the ancient road ahead, but there is a small town, look at the scale although not large, but may be in this ancient road, people are quite a lot.
Zhang Xiaofan heart a burst of joy, but also temporarily forget the trouble, these three days to the road are few people, see such a small town, but also let a person's spirit for a boost.
Walked close, only to see the town entrance roadside, stood a stone monument, engraved on the upper side of the "small pool town" three words, think it is the name of the town.
Zhang Xiaofan faithfully walked in, only to hear the sound of people gradually up, the ancient road from the town straight through and go, the roadside has houses and eaves, there are some stores, but more, but some of the direct stalls in the road on both sides of the vendors, along the street, the sound of selling and selling endless, really a picture of the world.
Zhang Xiaofan walked in the crowd, the corner of his mouth gradually revealed some smile, when he was young and still living in Grass Temple Village, vaguely remembered that it was also such a pattern, the human world, compared to the cultivation years on the Qingyun Mountain, as if there is also a different flavor in the heart.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang..."
Zhang Xiaofan is still immersed in the memories of the past, suddenly the street in front of him, there is a loud sound of a gong, he was startled, and then saw the surrounding townspeople have to speed up the pace, running towards the front of the head of the one, in the middle of a few people can be heard walking and talking: "Quickly go! The mayor has called for a speech."
"I think it's that thing, right?"
"Yes! I heard that last night, the mayor and Li Baochang, Fan Xiucai, they discussed the whole night, I wonder if there is a law out of the discussion?"
"I hope there is a solution! Otherwise, we can't go on living like this!"
⋯
Zhang Xiaofan's curiosity was piqued by what he heard, so he walked forward with the crowd. Seeing the crowd gathering around him, it wasn't long before two to three hundred people gathered around a stone platform in the center of town.
Zhang Xiaofan stood in the crowd, looking toward the center, only to see that the stone platform is more than half a person high, look quite smooth, on the top stood three people, two old and one young, think it is just heard of the mayor of the town and Li Baochang, Fan Xiucai these three people.
See people almost come, the stone platform in the three oldest one, stood out, to the townspeople below beckoned, the townspeople then also gradually quiet down.
Waiting until completely quiet, the old man looked around, tone heavy, said: "all folks, today called everyone over, I think you also know what for. Since three months ago, the demon in the town ten miles outside the 'Black Stone Cave' live, from then on will not stop harassment of the town, to the recent January, it is even more intensified, night and day to come, plundered cattle and sheep poultry countless, what's more, three days ago, the father and son of the Wang family in order to the family's last cow and the resistance, was actually ⋯⋯ alas, even unfortunately died in the hands of the demon. demon's hands."
The surrounding townspeople sighed, a few people even have a broken mouth cursed out of the voice. Zhang Xiaofan understood most of the heart, but still do not know what that demon is actually something.
At this time, he only heard the mayor say again, "As the mayor of the town, I am really ashamed that I can't keep a town safe. Last night and Li Bao long and Fan Xiu Cai after discussion, thought that this demon since the extraordinary, is not my ordinary people can resist, how about posting notices, please some cultivation of high people to come back to collect the demon, as for the cost of it! But also ask for your support."
As soon as he finished speaking, the townspeople under the stage said, "The mayor has a point, it's time to ask the high people to come back to catch the demon."
"If this goes on, I'm afraid people will be eaten by the demon, so what do we care about that little money?"
"Yes, yes..."
Seeing that most of the townspeople agreed, the mayor seemed relieved and said, "Since that's the case, I asked Fan Xiucai to write a notice last night, so I'll post it." After saying that, he nodded to the young man who looked like a Xiu Cai, and that Xiu Cai answered, took out a piece of white paper from his bosom, with some writing on it, and walked down the stone platform, walked to a brick wall that stood next to it, and posted it.
The townspeople immediately crowded over, Zhang Xiaofan also followed over to see, only to see that the paper was written:
〖Today there is a demon three-tailed demon fox, living in the town of ten miles outside the black stone cave, day and night, harassment of the town, looting poultry cattle and sheep, and even hurt people, why its demon law is powerful, this special please have a high person, for the people to get rid of the evils of the town, a small pool of town would like to 500 taels of silver to thank the〗.
Zhang Xiaofan see that the drop is small pool town townspeople, ears listening to the surrounding residents have expressed approval. He hesitated for a moment, had the intention to do this good deed, but thought of the townspeople and mayor's words just now, this demon is afraid to be powerful tight, his own magic power is low, can't beat the demon is a small matter, accidentally lost his life, even more lost the face of the division, that is his own can't afford to take the blame.
He is hesitant, suddenly heard around the townspeople issued a clamor, busy look up, immediately ate a shock, only to see a huge man from the outside walked over, wherever he went, only with a light hand, the crowd will be like water to the side of the general separation of the go.
To be that giant man came close, Zhang Xiaofan see really, only to see that this person looks not too old, at most twenty or so, thick eyebrows, big eyes, square face, broad ears, with his amazing figure, a mighty air to the face.
Among the crowd, the tallest is only up to his shoulders, it is really the momentum of a crane.
Just see him stride to the wall, carefully read the notice once, without saying anything, actually pulled down.
Crowd of a gasp, the giant man turned around, to the surrounding people swept a glance, the townspeople immediately quieted down. Only to hear that giant man urn voice said: "I am 'diamond door' door master 'vigorously venerable' only heir stone, by the order of the teacher out to practice, today to this, for all of you to do this one merit thing. "
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, searching his mind, he had never heard of this Vajra Sect or any other cultivation sect.
The people around him stared at him, this time the mayor and other people also rushed over, walked to this self-proclaimed to be a stone in front of the giant man, the mayor carefully said: "this⋯⋯ strong man, that demon is very powerful, not, ahem, not the strength can be, or maybe there is a danger to life, you want to think about it?"
The giant man nodded, looked at the mayor of the town, urn voice: "You do not believe me?"
The town mayor was stared at by his giant eyes, his heart felt a little hairy, and immediately said stiffly, "No, no, I just want to remind you."
The giant man turned his head to look around, and after a moment, his gaze landed on the brick wall where the notice was posted.
"Is this wall useful to you?"
The mayor froze for a moment and said in surprise, "It's not useful on weekdays, it's just posting a notice."
The giant man called Stone laughed and suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way."
The sound was like thunder, Zhang Xiaofan's ears were actually buzzing, not to mention the other townspeople, each face lost color, in a matter of moments, the field gave way to a large open space, only that giant man stood in the middle.
Just see him staring at the eyebrow across the hand, suddenly his right foot to the ground a heavy stomp, one-handed seal, mouth whispered fast chanting short incantation, a loud shout: "up!"
"Hoo", a gust of wind, Huo Ran from the giant man around the issue, from the ears of the people whistling past, a few people can not stand on their feet, the people lost color, "stirrups" and backward a few steps.
Only to see the golden light, the giant man has sacrificed a huge gold-colored wolf tooth stick, horizontal in mid-air, golden light, engraved with the word "break the brake", look a few points of solemnity.
The crowd immediately cheered, Zhang Xiaofan stood in the crowd, but wrinkled his nose, he had Pu Zhi passed the "Brahma Prajna" true law, although no one to teach over the years, but their own practice in secret, the Buddhist cultivation of the true method of understanding some.
In front of this huge man called stone sacrificed this wolf tooth stick, golden light solemn, and then look at his gestures, and then Pu Zhi has a few similarities, I'm afraid that more than half and Buddhist cultivation lineage has some origins.
This golden brilliant golden wolf tooth stick, huge incomparable, look seems to be bigger than its owner on some, at this time by the stone Royal in the air, the golden light, only see the stone round eyes, the magic trick a finger, the wolf tooth stick in the air whistling, when the head slammed down.
The crowd exclaimed!
"Rumble", loud noise, dust, originally a good brick wall, in a few moments, under his magic power, into pieces.
"Wow..." The townspeople present were all dumbfounded, and then they all smiled, this giant man has such great power, to remove the three-tailed demon fox, naturally, it is easy. The mayor of the town first walked out, laughed non-stop, said: "stone strong man good ability, then please you."
Stone nodded.
The town mayor paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation suddenly flashed across his face, and then said, "However, there is one thing that I still hope Strongman Stone can understand."
This stout man called Stone probably spoke in a tone that was just jarring, and at this moment still said so, "Old man, please speak."
The mayor said: "As for those rewards, because they are the townspeople's hard-earned money, so I hope to be able to wait for the strong man to get rid of the demons, and then..."
When Stone heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Before I left home, my master told me that we are righteous people, and when we encounter a demon, we should stand up for it as a way of honing our cultivation. As for what money or not, no need to mention, you only need to manage me a full meal, I eat enough to have the strength to get rid of the demon on it."
The mayor of the town was overjoyed to hear this, there is such a cheap thing, naturally it couldn't be better. At that moment, he said repeatedly, "This is natural, this is natural, strong man please come with me, will definitely make strong man satisfied."
Zhang Xiaofan in a side heard that stone words, chest somehow, a burst of excitement, at the same time a good shame, only think in the past days master teacher mother also used to be like this to teach fellow teachers and brothers, how come to the end of the day, he was afraid of things up, really disgraced the face of the master.
When he thought of this, his blood surged, he only felt that he is a famous school, how can he not care about this matter, he thought that he was going to take a step forward, open his mouth to show his identity, and that stone together to go to get rid of the demon.
Unexpectedly, his feet only lifted three points, just off the ground at that moment, suddenly only to hear a voice beside him, with a few points of anxiety, a few points of urgency, said: "ah! This little brother, you have dark clouds over your head, darkness in your hall of imprints, and a deadly aura on your face, something bad is happening!"
Zhang Xiaofan was originally full of confidence, words to the edge of the throat, looked to be about to speak out, do some justice, unexpectedly, was spoken in the ear of the words, startled, hard to choke back the words, feet not paying attention, staggered a step, stepped in the wrong place, actually stepped on a pile of dog shit above.
This gas is not trivial, Zhang Xiaofan jumped up, but feel the feet stink, although through the soles of shoes, the heart is a burst of chills, only to feel the body are shaking. At that moment, hate turned his head, wanting to see who this person who spoke?
Only see beside me stood an old man, beard and hair are white, face QingYong, look actually have a few points of the crane bone immortal wind, the appearance of the Taoist masters, so that people this first look will have a few points of respect.
And in the old man side, there is a eight, nine-year-old girl, tied with two sky braids, born is lively and lovely, holding a string of ice candy gourds, is eating with gusto.
Zhang Xiaofan was momentarily subdued by that old man's elegance, but was not able to curse, was thinking of what to say, but only to see that the old man looked at his feet, not only did not apologize for the color, but even more anxious face, said: "Look, look, this is not a great omen?"
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and said, "What?"
The old man glanced at him and said in a serious tone, "Haven't you heard of the saying, 'Stepping on dog shit, bad luck is forced upon you; nine out of ten people die, bad luck fills the sky'?"
Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded and said in a daze, "No ah! In the past, I only heard my brothers say that it was only when a person had good luck that people would say he had bad luck..."
The old man was dumbfounded for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Confused, confused, it's just nonsense."
Zhang Xiaofan said, "What's wrong?"
That old man said, "Since you said that, have you ever intentionally stepped on dog shit on weekdays?"
Zhang Xiaofan was startled, remembering that when he was on the Big Bamboo Peak, because he was the youngest in his generation, he had to do some dirty work from time to time, and the big dog Da Huang, which was raised by his master Tian Yanyu, ⋯⋯.
Immediately shook his head.
The old man nodded and said, "Then, have you ever seen others intentionally stepping on dog shit?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "There's no such thing!"
"Right!" The old man clapped his hands and said, "If there really is such a thing as dog poop luck, how can anyone avoid it; furthermore, dog poop is an extremely filthy thing that stinks to high heaven and is detested by everyone, so once you step on it, is it not bad luck, but rather good?"
Zhang Xiaofan heard, felt that these words make sense, it seems that before is indeed their own wrong, and then think of the old man's words just now, really alarmist, can not help but out of a cold sweat, said: "That old man you just said that I..."
The old man frowned, looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down a bit, straight to see Zhang Xiaofan's heart seven on the bottom, and only then said: "Well, it seems that you really do have a great evil disaster, why not please to the side, to be my for you to read a phase, how?"
"Reading a face?" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and only then did he notice that the old man was still holding a bamboo pole in his hand, with a piece of white cloth hanging from it with four words written on it: Immortal Guiding the Way.
It turned out to be a palm reader and fortune teller, but having said that, Zhang Xiaofan did not have the intention of belittling it in his heart. There is no other reason, when the founding of the Qingyun door of the Qingyun ancestor, will also be a jianghu photographer, of course, now the Qingyun door is no one will be this line, but the Qingyun door has always been very friendly to the photographer, otherwise it would not be deceiving the teacher to destroy the ancestor?
Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, but found that in the moment he and the old man spoke, those townspeople have already surrounded the giant man called stone walked far away, and then fixed his mind, thinking that it is the first to let the old man take a look, it is also not bad, anyway, just now that the mayor also said, to invite the giant man to eat before removing the demon, it seems that there is still time.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to that old man and said: ''Alright then! Please ask the old man to read my face!"
That old man laughed and pointed with his hand under a big tree by the roadside, saying, "Then let's talk there!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Zhang Xiaofan was about to follow, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice beside him saying, "Big brother."
Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded, but he saw that it was the little girl who had just stood beside that old man eating an ice candy gourd, who had called him for some reason at this moment. Zhang Xiaofan looked at her rosy face, which was extremely cute, and smiled as he bent down and said, "What is it! Little sister?"
That little girl chewed at the corner of her mouth and spat out a few kernels, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile on her face, saying, "There's still dog shit underneath your feet, it stinks!"
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaofan instantly turned red and jumped up, desperately shaking his feet to shake the dirt off his shoes.
That little girl looked at his wretched appearance and smiled, turning her body around and bouncing to that old man standing under the tree.
