Chapter 22: You Only Have to Gamble

Previous Chapter

Xin Di's story is short.

"I'm an orphan. I am a natural body of resentment, and everyone who is related to me will be killed by me, so from the moment I was born, I was abandoned by my biological parents, and I still don't know who my biological parents are. ”

"Not only did they abandon me, but they also threw me off the cliff in a very cruel and vicious way, as a newborn baby, determined to break me to pulp. ”

"The arhat disciples under the Buddha's seat passed by and couldn't bear it, so they turned into a pair of Dapeng birds, conjured a bird's nest on the cliff, and rescued me. ”

"When I landed in the nest, the Roc birds fed me every day with fruit dew, just like my parents. Then one day when I grew up and wanted to leave the nest, I was driven back by the pair of Roc birds flapping their wings. ”

"At that time I did not understand that I was a human being, and thought that I was a bird that could fly like them, and I did not know that as soon as I jumped off the nest, I would immediately fall to pieces, so I held a grudge against the two Roc birds, and my heart was infinitely angry and irritable, so I found two hard black locust wood branches on the edge of the cliff, sharpened them like needles, and one day killed them one by one when the two Roc birds came to feed me again. ”

"Before he died, the Dapeng bird restored the golden body of an arhat, and conjured up a golden statue of the Buddha in the air, intending to inspire me to abandon evil and follow good. ”

"That Dapeng bird has the grace of nurturing me, just like my parents, killing the Dapeng bird is like killing my parents. I didn't know that I had committed the five heaviest sins of rebellion in the Three Realms: killing my father, killing my mother, killing an arhat, giving birth to the blood of a Buddha, and breaking the monk of harmony. I committed five kinds of sins at the same time, I should have fallen under the living burning stones, burned by the fire of hell karma, and never turned over, but the Buddha remembered that I was abandoned by my biological parents, so I had these five kinds of negative karma, so I had good thoughts in my heart, and allowed me to be a ferryman of the Three Realms, running between the Three Realms every day, suffering from wind, frost, rain, snow, sun, moon, thunder and lightning, and every time I ferryed someone, I accumulated a good karma to offset my bad karma. ”

"It's just that the five sins of rebellion are the heaviest sins in the Three Realms, and even if I have been ferrying for 3,700 years, the good karma I have accumulated is only a drop of water to the sea compared to the bad karma, that is, I have attained eternal life in the Infernal Hells, but I have to bear the eternal bad karma and pay the price for it. ”

Xin Di said this, and smiled bitterly: "Now you should know why I said, 'Eternal life is the greatest calamity'!"

Wei Xiao nodded: "Ferryman, the ferryman is always someone else, but he can never get to the shore." ”

Xin Di's eyes glistened with a little tears: "Maybe one day, he can only watch his boat, gradually sinking in the water, and there is nothing he can do, because he has no shore, either drifting or sinking." ”

He suddenly coughed dryly, smiled, and there was a rare lack of sarcasm on his sharp face: "You see, I am an envoy from the heavenly realm, and I have received the bad karma of hell and the good thoughts of the Buddha, but I have never taken me in anywhere, I have no shore, I can only drift forever?"

Wei Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Your power of meditation was also sealed because of this?"

Xin Di let out a long sigh.

"Falling into the Infernal Hell, I am an immortal soul, I am a natural body of resentment, and the power of meditation is extremely powerful, but once sealed, even you who have lost your divine power can't defeat you. ”

Wei Xiao said: "No wonder the first time I saw you, I felt that you were gloomy, and there was no living spirit on your body." ”

Xin Di suddenly laughed so much that tears flowed out.

After laughing, he said word for word: "I don't have the breath of a living person, because I was born as a living person, only seven years, when I was seven years old, I killed the Dapeng bird and fell into the infernal hell, and now three thousand seven hundred years have passed, I have long forgotten what it is like to be a living person!"

He looked at Wei Xiao: "You say, how do you feel?"

Wei Xiao thought for a while: "I can feel the temperature of the sun, the fragrance of flowers in the four seasons, and the beauty of life." ”

"The temperature of the sun, the fragrance of the flowers of the four seasons, and the ......beauty of being alive," Xin Di muttered and repeated, as if chewing the taste of it, and said slowly: "You're right, I really can't feel the temperature of the sun on my skin, I can't smell the fragrance of the flowers of the four seasons, and I can't appreciate the beauty of being alive, but I can at least feel the sameβ€”β€”"

His voice suddenly changed, and became sharp and short: "That is, you can feel the beauty of money!"

At the same time, his body suddenly jumped and rushed towards Wei Xiao!

Wei Xiao hurriedly made a move to resist, and the two of them scuffled in one place at the bow of the boat in an instant, and the boat, which was originally floating in the air and slowly gliding, suddenly shook violently as if it was drunk.

The two of them made a few moves, and when they arrived, it was completely hand-to-hand combat, tearing in one place, not talking about any moves at all, rolling around on the boat, for a while Xin Di pressed Wei Xiao on his body, and for a while Wei Xiao was a carp again, but pressed Xin Di under him.

The two scuffled for a while, Wei Xiao pressed Xin Di, raised his right fist, and a fist was about to smash into the door in front of him, Xin Di hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

Wei Xiao's fist pressed against the tip of his nose: "Stop what?"

Xin Di struggled for a moment, flipped out from under Wei Xiao and sat up, panting and said, "I'm tired, rest for a while." ”

Wei Xiao was angry and funny: "You are quite good at playing scoundrels." ”

Xin Di snorted coldly: "If I don't know how to be a scoundrel, in the past three thousand seven hundred years, if I encounter a difficult guest, won't I have to burst my nose?"

Wei Xiao nodded: "Makes sense." ”

Xin Di said again: "Actually, it's not a way for us to fight back and forth like this. ”

Wei Xiao raised his eyes: "Do you have a better way?"

Xin Di squinted and smiled: "Actually, we can completely resolve this matter peacefully." Look," he said, "What you want is Qingyin's whereabouts, all I want is the Star Stone, let's exchange them with each other, isn't it over?"

Wei Xiao nodded and said, "What you said is indeed a good way." ”

Xin Di just smiled, and Wei Xiao said again: "But do you tell me Qingyin's whereabouts first?" or will I hand over the Star Destiny Stone to you first?"

Xin Di's face stiffened, and he reluctantly said, "Of course, you handed over the Star Life Stone to me first." ”

Wei Xiao said: "But how do I know that after you take the Star Life Stone, you will definitely tell me the whereabouts of Qingyin?"

Xin Di said: "Her life and death have nothing to do with me, I just need the Star Life Stone." After I get the Star Stone, I will naturally tell you her whereabouts. ”

Wei Xiao said: "But what if you don't actually know her whereabouts, and just use it to deceive me?"

Xin Di's eyes rolled and said, "But I told you her whereabouts, but you didn't give me the star life?"

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Since we can't trust each other, it seems that this deal can't be negotiated." ”

"Or," he stared at Wei Xiao with pity, "You care so much about Qingyin's whereabouts, you can choose to trust me, you hand over the Star Life Stone first." ”

Wei Xiao said: "You are very good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses. ”

Xin Di laughed: "You only have to bet, bet on whether I will tell you her whereabouts after I get the Star Life Stone." ”

Wei Xiao was silent for a moment.

"I choose to bet. ”

His sleeve moved, and the Star Stone rolled out of his sleeve and into the palm of his right hand.

Xin Di's eyes lit up, and he stared at the star stone: "It seems that you lied to me, you didn't hide it under your armpit just now, but in your sleeve." ”

Wei Xiao snorted: "Each other, each other." ”

Xin Di stretched out his hand greedily, and was just about to pick up the star stone from Wei Xiao's palm, when Wei Xiao suddenly closed his palm.

"You swear first. He looked at Xin Di.

Xin Di immediately raised his palm and said: "The Nine Heavens God Buddha is above, if I, Xin Di, take the Star Life Stone and don't tell the whereabouts of the Qingyin girl, I will not die immediately." ”

Wei Xiao shook his head: "You are no longer a living person. ”

Xin Di had no choice but to swear again: "Let me fall forever, burned by the fire of hell, and never end." ”

Wei Xiao nodded at this time and handed the Star Life Stone to Xin Di.

Xin Di smiled, carefully put the Star Life Stone into his arms, put it away, and said with a smile: "The whereabouts of the Qingyin girl, in fact, it is not difficult to find, the low-level teleportation circle on the hollow island, although it is randomly teleported, but it is not too far, the range is only within a hundred miles nearby, and it is ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly burst out, and slapped Wei Xiao with the wooden oars like Mount Tai pressing the top, Wei Xiao was caught off guard, and eagerly shot to resist, and the oars slapped down heavily, causing his body to roll, the hull of the boat was heavy, and the other was tilted, and Wei Xiao's body rolled down the boat!

He grabbed the side of the boat with his left hand, but was caught up by Xin Di, raised his foot and stepped on the palm of his hand, then swung the oar and slapped it, and said fiercely: "Go down!"

Wei Xiao let go of his hand and fell straight from the sky!

Xin Di immediately drove the boat away at a high speed, and his smug laughter came from far in the air: "Wei Xiao, you are so stupid!
