Chapter 61: Working with Demons

There is a lot of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qiantang County in the Southern Song Dynasty is a bit like Seattle in the United States, where it rains 365 days a year, and it rains for 300 days.

The drizzle weaves a curtain of rain, and the man with glasses is lost.

Soon the man with glasses sensed that something was wrong, and he stopped in the middle of the bluestone road, looking at the rain that was falling. The rain fell, but it surrounded him, and he and the world were like being cut off.

The man with glasses was quite calm, and said lightly: "Come out." ”

Two men dressed as Taoist priests slowly appeared, and the two of them were a little surprised, and said, "The monks of the Bigu Realm are so inspired. ”

The man with glasses recognized these two men at a glance as the demons who escaped that night.

The man with glasses shook his head and said, "If you want to arrest me and avenge your friends, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”

"Oh? Eating you is revenge, how can we be disappointed? ”

The calmness of the glasses man gave the two demons a strange feeling, and this human was not afraid of them, even if there was a huge gap in the cultivation of the two sides.

"It's not me who killed your friends, how can killing me be called revenge?" The man with glasses looked at the two monsters with mocking eyes, looking at them like idiots.

The monster was a little annoyed and said, "Hmph, you are all in a gang, kill you, we will naturally kill your companions." ”

The man with glasses smiled and shook his head, and said, "No, you can't kill them, you will only be sent to death if you go over." ”

"You know better than me how powerful Bai Suzhen's cultivation is, and the cultivation of my partners is also stronger than mine. Besides, do you think they will go it alone? ”

The youkai was silent, and after a few seconds, asked, "Say what you think, I hope you can convince me, otherwise I will eat you don't even have bones left." ”

"It's not a threat at all." The man with glasses shook his head indifferently, suddenly looked at the monster, two fine lights burst out of his eyes, and said, "Perhaps, we can cooperate." ”

Youkai vigilant: "Cooperation? Hmph, you humans are the most cunning. ”

The man with glasses took out a cigarette and lit it, and the monster watched in amazement as the man with glasses smoked a scroll of paper that was sparking, unconscious.

"Cooperation is based on mutual benefit, you are only for revenge, I can help you achieve what you want, but in the same way, you also need to exchange things. In this way, you earn, and I will not lose. ”

The youkai asked, "What do you want?" ”

The man with glasses looked into his eyes, and the smell of conspiracy emanated from his pupils, which made the two youkai take a half step back.

"The little demons in the Qi Refining Bone Realm and the little demons who have just entered the Bigu Realm, two a day."

The monster frowned, stared at him, and said, "What do you want so many little demons for?" ”

The man with glasses spit out a puff of cigarette and said casually: "You don't need to care what I do, I took your things, and I will naturally help you with things, you just need to say what you want." ”

The two monsters discussed in a low voice for a while, and said: "The purpose of asking these little demons is probably for cultivation, I can promise you that I will supply you with two little demons in the Condensing Qi Refining Bone Realm and two little demons in the Bigu Realm every day." However, in addition to luring out the humans who killed my brother for me, you also have to help me capture Bai Suzhen. ”

The man with glasses thought for a while and said, "I can agree to this, but it must be after Bai Suzhen gets married." ”

The monster looked at the man with glasses as if he was nervous, with a touch of anger on his face, and said, "Are you kidding me?" Bai Suzhen is a snake demon, and I don't know what time it will take for her to get married. ”

The man with glasses shook his head and said, "It won't be too long, it's limited to half a year." ”

The monster glanced at each other and continued to discuss in a low voice, and after a few minutes, as if the discussion had been completed, the monster said, "Yes, we promise you, but those two humans, I want it now." ”

The man with glasses nodded, calm and calm on the surface, but his heart was already tense, for fear that these two monsters would suddenly make a move and kill him.

"Wait, there's been a lot of things going on in the restaurant these two days, and I have no reason to call them out."

The monster was furious, and a majestic momentum rushed out, instantly enveloping the glasses man, who was still lukewarm, and said, "It seems that you are not sincerely cooperating." ”

"You are the one who has no sincerity!" The monster said angrily: "You say cooperation, cooperation, how do I know that I will let you go later, will you just hide in that restaurant and never come out?" ”

The man with glasses narrowed his eyes, this monster is not stupid.

"Since it's cooperation, if the two sides don't even have basic trust, what kind of cooperation can we talk about?"

The other monster was much calmer, he silently took out a bamboo tube, poured out a jet-black pill, walked up to the man with glasses, and said, "Eat it." ”

The man with glasses asked, "What is this?" ”

The monster said: "A poison, it will attack once every three days, and each attack is extremely itchy, if you have perseverance, you can survive it with your own perseverance." Look at your right arm, if there is a black line, when the black line extends to the vein, you will die completely. ”

The man with glasses raised his right hand, rolled up his long sleeves, and sure enough, he saw a black line deep into his skin, the black line was at the elbow, only the size of the nail of the little thumb.

The man with glasses looked a little angry, "What does this mean?" ”

In the face of the glasses man's anger, the monster smiled: "I think, from now on, I trust you more." ”

The man with glasses took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay." Then he turned around and left, and the drizzle instantly broke through the spatial limit and sprinkled on his body.

"In three days, meet here, and I'll give you an antidote to restraint."

The man with glasses didn't answer, didn't turn his head, and walked straight away.

"Will he come?"

"Definitely."

……

That night, eight people gathered in one room to share today's harvest.

"It's not a big problem on Bai Suzhen's side." Mayor Zhang shook his head and said with a look on his face.

Li Xiaoyao said: "Xu Jiaorong has no problem over there, come to Fumanlou at noon tomorrow." ”

The fat man praised on the side: "Lao Li's mouth is no worse than Mayor Zhang, don't you see, Lao Li has a mouth, Xu Jiaorong nods except for nodding, oh or um, there is no opinion at all." ”

Chen Chu asked, "The family that talked to Xu Xian about matchmaking?" Got it? ”

The man with glasses said, "No problem. ”

Chen Chu nodded, he was most at ease when the man with glasses was doing things.

After deciding what would happen tomorrow, Chen Chu stayed in the room with the fat man and Meng Shu and chatted for a while, mainly about cultivation. Meng Shu's current cultivation has not yet reached the Bigu realm, which is really not very high, and the fat man proposed to find some little monsters to kill, so that Meng Shu's cultivation can be improved as soon as possible.

Chen Chu has thought about this question, and this is indeed a very good idea. They have no time limit in this world, if they can use this time to greatly improve their cultivation, they will definitely have a greater ability to protect themselves in the mythical world that they will cross in the future.

Their first task now is to match Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, only when the two of them are on the right track, they can rest assured that they can kill the little demon and improve their cultivation.

Chen Chu's cultivation has long passed the Bigu realm, but it will take a while to get rid of the habit of skipping meals all at once. He sleeps for about two hours a day, and spends the rest of his time cultivating Reiki, or practicing martial arts.

Nothing was said all night.

At noon, a group of people came to Fuman Building, Xu Xian stood behind the counter, a little absent-minded, and it seemed that his mood was very low.

Fahai stood at the door as always, he came for several days in a row, but he couldn't see Xu Xian, and today he was lucky, and he saw it as soon as he came.

Fahai walked closer and greeted softly: "Master Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't come unharmed." ”

Xu Xian shook his head, saw that it was Fahai, squeezed out a smile, and said politely: "Hello, Master Fahai." ”

"Lord Xu Shi has a cloud of sorrow on his face, and he wants to be troubled by troubles."

Xu Xian shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "People have seven emotions and six desires, lust confuses people's minds, you can't stay yesterday, you have a lot of worries today, I hope you can seek relief tomorrow." ”

Fahai's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said: "Lord Xu Buddha's root is wise, if you can enter my Buddha's door, it will be a great joy for the people in the world." ”

"Master praise, I'm just an ordinary person, I have seven emotions and six desires, I don't have big ideals and ambitions, I just want to marry a lady and join hands with a white head."

Chen Chu entered the door and saw Fahai standing in front of the counter, talking to Xu Xian, without asking, this monk was fooling Xu Xian to become a monk again, it was really a thief.

"Fahai, came early today?" Chen Chu walked over, took out a cigarette, and threw one away.

Fahai took it quite skillfully, and in the past few days, Fahai has no rejection of cigarettes at all.

"Brother Chen, it's you who are late."

The man with glasses glanced at Chen Chu, and Chen Chu nodded at him in understanding.

Chen Chu walked up, hooked up with Fahai, and said, "Fahai, aren't you going to go through the red dust to refine your heart?" ”

"yes, yes."

"Since you want to refine your heart, you have to put yourself in the red dust with all your heart, do you know what I mean?"

Fahai shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"The meaning is very simple, that is, you should eat, you should drink, and those who come with wine and meat will not refuse."

Fahai was shocked, his heart was beating when he heard it, and he shook his hand again and again: "No, no, no, eating meat and drinking wine is a great disrespect to the Buddha." ”

Chen Chu said: "That's not the case, whether you eat meat or not and whether you respect the Buddha or not are two different things. Let me ask you, do you think that those people who often go to the temple to worship the Buddha do they respect the Buddha? Religious? ”

Fahai nodded.

Chen Chu said: "Then do you think they will stop eating meat because of their worship of Buddha?" ”

Fahai shook his head.

Chen Chu said: "I believe that the moment they enter the temple to bow down, their hearts are absolutely pious and they have absolute respect for the Buddha. But Buddhas are not all of their lives, just a part of them, and in the same way, eating meat and drinking wine are also part of their lives, not all. I say that, can you understand? ”

Fahai shook his head and nodded, obviously being a little confused by Chen Chu's fallacy.

"But ......"

"It's nothing, since you want to refine your heart in the red dust, cut off cause and effect, and don't give up your body to jump off the world, how can you find cause and effect? You can't want to be enlightened, but you can't go through the world and experience the red dust. What's the difference between this and the who stands the torii? ”
