Come to a small town near Laneige Place, which has gradually flourished since the fall of Laneige Place.

A tall man in Taoist costume, with two servants, walked through the two districts from the city gate to a restaurant in the city and stopped.

At this time, it was close to noon, Zhang Lie looked at the two-story restaurant in front of him, and quietly put his hands behind his back, and the person walked in.

The fat and thin two people who followed behind him, thinking that the meal had arrived, squeezed their eyebrows at each other, and their expressions suddenly became vivid and vivid.

At this moment, the business of the restaurant is not bad, as far as the eye can see, most of the tables are full of guests.

After Zhang Lie swept it casually, the person went straight to the counter. At this time, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper was standing there counting the accounts.

Zhang Lie approached the counter, he didn't talk nonsense, his figure shook from side to side, blocking most of the eyes of others, and with a flick of the sleeves of his robe, a piece of jade pendant appeared on the counter silently. This jade pendant is facing up, just burning a 'Zhang' character.

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly when he saw the jade pendant, he glanced Zhang Lie up and down, and quickly put the jade pendant away, and at the same time said in a low voice:

"Please come with me!"

The shopkeeper turned around and took advantage of the fact that the other guests in the restaurant were not paying attention, turned around and left, and entered the side door on the first floor of the restaurant.

Zhang Lie and others also followed up in the entry.

"Huan'er, Huan'er, Zhang Gongzi is here. The little Feng Quan paid a visit to his son. The shopkeeper took Zhang Lie Fang into a secluded room, first called twice to the house, then turned his head and immediately handed back the jade pendant to Zhang Lie, and knelt down and said respectfully.

"Childe! Son! ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman stumbled out of the inner room, but between the corners of her eyes, there were still faint traces of her youthful beauty.

Zhang Lie looked at his maid in the past, and couldn't help but sigh a little for a while: "Huan'er, you are old." ”

"Since it is far from being comparable to Childe and Mrs., but if it weren't for Childe's funding over the years, Feng Quan and I, where would we have lived a hundred and twenty years of life-free illness and disaster-free? I'm afraid that it has already turned into dust, Childe, Huan'er has set up an immortal tablet for you and your wife, and I hope you two can prove the road of immortality, and live with heaven and earth and immortal with the sun and the moon. ”

Huan'er was a more eloquent little girl back then, and now, it is the same as back then.

"These are my two servants, Feng Quan, you take the two of them down to rest first."

"Yes, Childe."

As Feng Quan brought the two guys Fat Tou Tuo and Thin Dao Man down, Zhang Lie opened his mouth and asked about the information that Huan'er had collected over the years.

The restaurant can be regarded as a place where news is distributed, the Zhang family has secretly transported a large amount of spirit stones and elixirs for so many years, forcibly pushing Feng Quan and his wife to the late stage of qi training, consolidating the foundation and raising the yuan, and extending the longevity, of course, the purpose is not just for a maid in the past, even if she is the maid of Zhang Lie's ancestor.

The real purpose of the Zhang family is to establish a secret stronghold, an intelligence collection point.

A stronghold like this that exists in the shadows will exist in every sect and family, more or less.

"I want to know more about Laneige Fang and the destruction of the Xu family, as well as detailed information about Fuyunzi."

"Childe, please come with me."

After Huan'er gave a salute, he took Zhang Lie into the hut, and then opened a wall and led Zhang Lie into a dark pavilion.

In this dark pavilion, bookcases and scrolls are densely placed, and they are all marked by years and months, and it is obvious that Huan'er has not been messing around all these years.

"Childe, since you took your wife south to avoid trouble, it didn't take long for a demon cultivator named Moon Demon to appear near here. Killing people everywhere, destroying people all over the house, but no one can find any trace of him, the Xuanyue Sect has also sent the Purple Mansion and even Jindan Zhenren several times, not only did he find nothing, but when he sent the Purple Mansion monks, he was even attacked and killed by the Moon Demon on his own initiative, and later the Xuanyue Sect Jindan Zhenren took action and personally sat in Lanzhifang, and the Moon Demon was a little hidden. ”

However, about twenty-five years later, he suddenly appeared again, attacked and killed the Xuanyue Sect Jindan Zhenren who was sitting in Lanzhi Fang, and led people to wipe out Lanzhi Fang and all the families related to Lanzhi Fang. During that time, people were panicked, and since then, there has been no clear pattern for the appearance of the Moon Demon, and there are no other characteristics except for murder. ”

"During this time period, there were many monks disguised as Moon Demons who killed people and seized treasures, some of them were caught, and some were not, which made the true identity of the Moon Demon even deeper."

"As for the Fuyunzi you mentioned, Childe, since the death of his disciple Wheel Sword Li Heng, he has announced his retreat, and some people have suspected that he is the Moon Demon, but no matter how he calculates, it seems impossible for him to kill his disciple Li Heng with his own hands."

While taking out a scroll of papers, Huan'er told all the information she had collected over the years, through the convenience of opening a restaurant, even if it was just hearsay, she was enough to know far more and more details than ordinary people.

"The Moon Demon is too heavy to kill, it has far exceeded the level of killing people and looting treasures and looting property, and some monks say that he is embarking on the path of ancient demon cultivation, and wants to purify his mana and break the barrier by surviving the Nine Demon Tribulations."

The Ninefold Demon Tribulation here is just a saying, the Xuanhuang Great World has survived the Ninefold Demon Tribulation since ancient times, and only one Demon Dao Great Power has survived the Ninefold Demon Tribulation, the Purple Mansion Monk can survive the first two Demon Tribulations to the limit, the Jindan Monk can survive two or three times, and the same is true for the Yuanying Monk.

In addition, it is specially explained that after being promoted to the seventh-order god realm, under normal circumstances, regardless of immortals, demons, demons, and ghosts, forcibly residing in this realm is a big crime, and their existence devours the heaven and earth vitality of this world every moment is huge, and the Naying Hidden Form is slightly better, if you dare to attack with all your strength at will, it will trigger the thunder to fall. The Nine Thunder Tribulations, the nine characters here, sometimes refer to the meaning of infinity, of course, this extreme situation does not usually occur.

Although the Xuanyue Sect is declining day by day and weakening day by day, it used to be an extremely powerful sect after all, at its peak, there were seven Yuanying, and the golden pill was half a hundred, even if it was an extraterritorial heavenly demon with an abnormal brain, it would not be easy to find trouble with such a big sect, but that Moon Demon seemed to be against the Xuanyue Sect, the Xuanyue Sect was deep-rooted and powerful, and the Moon Demon came and went without a shadow, and the killing was fierce.

"Childe, the Moon Demon should not be just one person now, but a well-organized Demon Dao organization, if you want to fight against such an organization, you had better join an organization, so that you can have a greater chance of success."

After a little thought, Huan'er said.

"What organization?" Of course, Zhang Lie heard the meaning of Huan'er's words.

"The Moon God Society, the Moon Demon killing is too heavy, and the Xuanyue Sect is becoming more and more powerless here, many people who have a blood feud with the Moon Demon have privately organized the Moon God Society, with the mission of killing the Moon Demon and returning the Southern Wilderness to a peaceful Xuan Realm, if the purpose of Childe's visit this time is also the Moon Demon, join them or be able to get some help."

"Childe, Huan'er is just a low-level Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, and most of the information he can get is just hearsay, and this information is basically all that Huan'er knows."

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman lowered her head a little weakly, and this scene was exactly the same as sixty years ago.

"Haha, Huan'er has done a good job, you are just a Qi Realm cultivator, just look at it here, you know that you have worked weekdays."

Stretched out his hand and patted Huan'er's head. Zhang Lie said comfortingly.

"Huan'er, since you know that I should join the Luna Society, do you know how to let me join?"

"Childe, although we can't touch the Moon God Society, but Chengxi Phantom Yunsuo, his only daughter died in a robbery of the Moon Demon Organization, his wife died early, and he raised the girl alone, even if the daughter is married, the relationship with her father is also very good, and she will inevitably bring her husband to visit her father every New Year's holiday."

"But that couple, now that they are all gone, even with his infant granddaughter, although Phantom Yunsu is also in the realm of Qi cultivation, but this old man is desperate to kill the Moon Demon, you will definitely be able to gain something when you go to him."

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Zhang Lie nodded after thinking for a long time.

…

The old Xu Tou of Phantom Cloud is the illusionist in this Xuanwu City, and his lifelong livelihood is to transform all kinds of clouds and clouds for the people in the city during the festival.

Not everyone cultivates immortals, they all have to pursue the supreme avenue, the avenue is ethereal, and some people have even said that the avenue is a man-eating monster, making countless monks cultivate for thousands of years, and then soar up and be devoured by it.

Even if it wasn't, hundreds of millions of monks, how many of them could participate in the Great Dao?

Isn't it good to enjoy the monk's longevity and marry a beloved beautiful lady to spend her life here?

Lao Xu Tou originally thought that this was very good, but it was not until the child and her mother died of a serious illness, and he couldn't take out the spirit stone and couldn't buy the spirit pill, so he regretted it.

Therefore, in the rest of his life, Lao Xu Tou has always lived with shame, redoubled his love for his daughter, raised her as an adult, and promised her to be a lover.

The happy daughter, the son-in-law who knows the pain and knows the heat of his duty, and the little granddaughter who has just been born, the great satisfaction almost makes Lao Xu Tou feel that his wife will forgive him, until the day he learned that his daughter and son-in-law's family died in the robbery:

There is no strength, no suffering, it's just that the suffering hasn't found you yet, you have the strength, at least you can resist the suffering, so that even if you are defeated, your heart will not be so bitter, so much hatred for your former self.

After all the good things in life are destroyed, Xuanwu City will no longer see the old Xu Tou who has good illusion skills, and there is an extra drunkard in the night market who wants to drink himself to death, which is the normal reaction of an ordinary person when he can't resist the hope.

Carrying the wine jar, swaying and walking on the quiet and uninhabited long street, on this day, Lao Xu Tou always felt that there was something behind him following him, which made the hair on the back of his neck stand up, as if there was an invisible knife stuck there.

He turned his head reluctantly, but there was nothing behind him.

"Grunt" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the night breeze blew Lao Xu Tou inexplicably felt that the wine woke up a little, this is not good, once he is not drunk enough, he will see his daughter and son-in-law standing in front of him covered in blood, so he poured himself a few sips of wine.

It's just that this time when he put down the wine jar again, there was one more person in front of Lao Xu Tou, a young Taoist, and his sudden appearance scared Lao Xu Tou into a thrill and retreated in a panic, but in fact, the distance between the two sides was not shortened.

"You...... Who are you and what do you want to do? ”

"You don't care who I am, you just need to know that I'm the one who is here to help you." Zhang Lie looked at the old man in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart. At the same time, he also has more understanding of his own external calamity.

"Help me? How can you help me? Can you help me kill the Moon Demon? "Old Xu Tou originally wanted to laugh at the person in front of him, the blood feud between him and the Moon Demon, there are not a few people in the entire Xuanwu City, but the existence of the Moon Demon who can kill the Xuanyue Sect's Jindan True Cultivator is really more than most people in this Xuanwu Cultivation Realm.

At this moment, looking at the young Taoist in front of him who was not smiling, looking at his young appearance and a pair of eyes with some vicissitudes of time, the old Xu Tou, who wanted to laugh, suddenly couldn't laugh.

"You, can you really help me kill the Moon Demon?"

"No, I can't help you, you're the only one who can help you. It's just that the two of us have one thing in common, that is, we both want to kill the Moon Demon, and the Buddhists have clouds: when is the time for retribution. But I think that when the enemy is killed, the revenge is over. ”

The true meaning of retribution is that every time a period of negative karma arises, there will be a period of negative karma that will flow until it is offset by the good karma, but this negative karma does not necessarily fall on the person who is evil, but falls randomly and irregularly.

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

What Buddhism advocates is that when all people worship the Buddha for goodness and no longer generate negative karma, then the world is purified. But this kind of thing is impossible in the eyes of Taoists, for example, in front of the old man Xu Xu, who said that when the Buddhists repaid their grievances, he would definitely only be smacked in the face.

The so-called strong refers to those who can taste each dish on the recipe of life, this is the purity of Taoism, and the purity of the heart has no external objects to disturb the heart, which is also the difference between the Buddha's and Taoism.

Of course, there is also the meaning of doing everything in Taoist non-action, which refers to not going against one's own progress, but going with the flow.
