In Mingxin Xuan, Ji Yuan leaned back in the chair with a helpless expression, trying his best not to let his eyes fall on the pills and talismans on that table.

It's just that no matter how he controls it, he still can't help it, to take a final look at these belongings that have been sold.

"The little Taoist has encountered some problems, and it has only been a few days, so he came to our Mingxinxuan again."

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and chuckled, with a teasing look between her eyebrows.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan raised his head and sighed, didn't he just encounter a problem, there was an extra bottomless pit at home, and he needed a lot of silver taels to fill it.

In desperation, he could only sell most of the pills and talismans on his body, leaving only the pills and talismans that could improve his cultivation and were valuable.

It's just that the silver taels obtained from the sale are basically used to buy alchemy materials, as well as many things that can replenish the consumption of qi and blood, and most of them are the flesh and blood of spirit beasts captive by some cultivation sects.

The cultivation of martial arts, compared to the cultivation of qi practitioners, is undoubtedly much simpler, only need enough money, and it is enough to smash the qi and blood, such as the flesh and blood of spirit beasts containing strong qi and blood, as well as various pills that replenish the consumption of qi and blood.

Unlike a qi practitioner, in addition to all kinds of pills, you also need to configure corresponding magic weapons, spiritual objects, and so on according to your own physique and the exercises you are cultivating.

"For the rest, help me exchange them for spirit stones."

Ji Yuan shook his head, and as he spoke, he pushed all the remaining silver taels in front of Liu Ruyan.

These silver taels can probably be exchanged for two or three low-grade spirit stones, after all, although the market price is fifty taels of silver, you can exchange it for a spirit stone, but when you really trade, there will always be a slight premium.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan waved her hand slightly, and a maid behind her stepped forward and put away the snowflake silver on the table.

Then she wiped the sachet from her waist, took out four lower grade spirit stones, and placed them in front of the little Taoist.

Ji Yuan was slightly stunned when he saw this, this was one more spirit stone than the price he estimated, which was fifty taels of silver.

"This silver can roughly be exchanged for three spirit stones, and there is still a surplus, so I will count you for four."

Liu Ruyan poured two cups of fragrant tea with her own hands, and said casually: "After all, I have made so much money from you, so it should be regarded as a small profit." ”

While putting away the spirit stone, he said with a smile: "It's a good thing, it's better to make more concessions in the future." ”

The other party glanced at Ji Yuan angrily, and drank hot tea by himself, but he didn't speak again.

The little Taoist priest noticed that Liu Ruyan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind, but he didn't ask, and waited quietly while drinking tea.

After a long time, Liu Ruyan gently put down the teacup in his hand, and his expression suddenly became a little solemn: "If the little Taoist encounters difficulties, it is better to refine more pills in the view in recent days, and some people can avoid it." ”

After saying that, she changed back to her nonchalant demeanor, her fingertips gently coiling around the mouth of the teacup.

Ji Yuan's face was straight, and he looked deeply at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to see something out of the other party's gaze.

These words sounded fine, but the expression that briefly appeared on the other party's face, as long as he was not a blind person, could see that there was another deep meaning.

"Shopkeeper Liu, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly?"

He played with the purple sand teacup in his hand, and his eyes sank slightly: "Poor Dao qualifications are dull, and some don't understand." ”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, how could she not understand that he was pretending to be stupid here, how could he not understand the deep meaning of her words?

The big shopkeeper of Ming Xinxuan sighed, his eyes suddenly became a little resentful, and he glared at the little Taoist priest in front of him angrily.

After thinking about it, she still said quietly: "Last night, there were demons near Baiyun Temple who committed murder and dug up the hearts and livers of many people, including some gang members. ”

"In the middle of the night, some gangs almost poured out of their nests to avenge their families and find the perpetrators."

"As a result, I don't know whether to say that they were lucky, or if they were a little unlucky, they really met the demon who cut their hearts, but after a fight, the perpetrators swaggered away, leaving behind corpses and seriously injured people."

Liu Ruyan took a sip of tea, although she didn't see the scene of last night with her own eyes, but just after listening to the description of a few words, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

It is said that the demon who committed the murder last night was shrouded in a rich demonic aura, and when he fought with people, he would even take out the heart of his opponent and eat it in three or two bites in front of everyone.

"Speaking of which, last night was really not peaceful, there were demons near Baiyun Temple in front of me, and demons infiltrated the general associations of various gangs, and I don't know how many people were killed."

She let out a sigh of emotion, and then glanced at the little Taoist: "Early in the morning, the door of my Ming Xinxuan was knocked open by those gangs, and the healing pills in the shops were basically snapped up by seven or eight gangs. ”

The maids around had already been retired, but Liu Ruyan still looked at it solemnly, and then spoke in a low voice, telling Ji Yuan that in the past few days, it was best to close the door and concentrate on practicing Dan in the Taoist temple.

Not only do you not know people don't see each other, but even if you have a relationship, it's best to keep them out, and don't have the slightest involvement with the two things last night.

At this point, Ji Yuan finally understood what Liu Ruyan meant before, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

The other party's approach is tantamount to quietly blocking the way for the person who comes to the door for help, and even in a way, this practice is tantamount to making him a person who will not be saved when he dies.

If the words were not said thoroughly, there would still be room for maneuver, but unfortunately he pretended not to understand, so Liu Ruyan could only put these words on the table clearly.

This made him start to make a little difficult.

"How to do it depends on your own choice, if you can really save those who are seriously injured, your prestige among the major gangs in the city will undoubtedly rise to a peak, and there will be an endless stream of people seeking Dan in the future."

Liu Ruyan shrugged her shoulders, looking casual.

It's just that she still hasn't said half of what she has said, that is, once she chooses to come to the rescue, she will be involved in this matter, and it is very likely that she will be targeted by the heart-slashing demon and the demon who committed the murder.

If these two fierce guys really sneak into the small Taoist temple in the middle of the night, the little Taoist priest who is alone is likely to be in danger.

"So Shopkeeper Liu hopes that I can wait for the government to arrest those two murderers, or after the limelight has passed, I will treat those seriously injured?"

Ji Yuan's expression sank, and then he asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan did not answer his question, but only said that two of the other three Dan masters in the city quietly left the city early in the morning, and the guests at home said that they were out to visit friends.

As for the other Danshi, he was invited to a gang last night to be treated, and on the way back, he was attacked by a demon, and it is rumored that he died a very tragic death.

And this is also an important reason why the other two Dan masters hurriedly got out early in the morning.

After a while, Ji Yuan led two big burdens, and walked out of Mingxinxuan in a trance, and the pedestrians he saw along the way all felt that the other party looked strange, as if he would burst out and kill people in the next moment.

When he stepped into the Taoist temple, he let out a heavy breath, threw the two big bags in his hands into the house, and sat on the stone stairs in front of the door with a melancholy face.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized what kind of consequences he and others had caused by yesterday's act of slaying demons and eliminating demons.

There is no doubt that whether it is a demon who cuts out his heart, or a demon who washes the bloodied major gang associations, or even a demon who intercepts and kills the Danshi halfway, he must be the one behind the scenes of the century-old incense of the obscene shrine.

Otherwise, how could it be that the obscene temple was just smashed during the day, and so many things happened one after another that night?

You must know that Qianyu City has always been peaceful, and even vendettas in the rivers and lakes are rare for several years, and the fire between the gangs is also very restrained, and it is rare to really kill people.

"Why did you go out and come back with such a sad face?"

Zhang Zhiya walked out of the house, carried a small bench, and sat under the eaves on the side.

The little Taoist priest smiled bitterly and told his master what happened in the county last night one by one.

Finally, he lay back and fell on the steps in front of the door, staring blankly at the cloudy sky.

What he said to Monk Huixin yesterday, he didn't expect it to happen to him today, he did a good deed to eliminate harm for the people, kill demons and demons, but it caused a bunch of disasters, causing many innocent deaths.

"Are you thinking that at least half of the blame for the people who lost their lives last night fell on you?"

The old Taoist priest tilted his head, and when he saw that the little apprentice was silent, he immediately understood what he was thinking.

He sighed first, and then said earnestly: "Buddhism has a holy word, everything has a cause, everything is a result, monsters and obscenities, heart-cutting demons, and murderous demons, these are all causes, and if there is no you, there will be other fruits." ”

"Even if it were not for what you did yesterday, those who lost their lives last night would have ended up with the same fate one day in the future because of the fruit of this cause."

"And if it weren't for you, you produced this fruit in advance, caused all the hidden dangers, and waited for the day when the real cause and effect were ripe, I can't say that the entire county would be shrouded in bloody rain."

"When that day comes, it's not just a few people who will die, but hundreds, thousands, and thousands of innocent people."

The corners of Ji Yuan's mouth twitched, how could the same thing come out of the mouth of his own master, he, Zhao Yuansong and others have become heroes who saved a city?

However, after listening to Master's remarks, his mood has indeed improved, at least he is not so depressed and aggrieved.

"Go ahead, you will rest in the next few days, whether it is alchemy or cultivation, it is up to you, and the people outside will help you block it."

The old Taoist priest waved the dust in his hand, and said: "The sky is falling, there will be tall people on top, aside from the county government, there are still many seniors in the city, no matter when it happens, it is not your junior's turn to work hard." ”

Ji Yuan nodded, jumped up from the ground with a straight up, patted the dust on his body, turned around and returned to the room to prepare for alchemy.

It's just that the little Taoist priest suddenly poked his head out of the door and said solemnly to the old Taoist priest under the eaves: "Master, your disciples can understand your reasoning, but let's just say, next time, we will give an example to enlighten, can we use our Taoist own truth?" ”

Although the previous remarks were indeed effective, they used the holy words of Buddhism.

The old Taoist priest's face sank, and he waited with anger in his eyes, grabbed something casually and threw it out.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan hurriedly slammed the door of his own room, and then a brand-new cloth shoe smashed on the door panel, and the force was so great that it even shook off the dust on the door.

After half a ring, the old Taoist priest came to the door lightly, picked up the cloth shoes on the steps, carefully drained the dust on them, put them back on his feet and stomped them twice, and then showed a smile.

"Master, do the shoes you bought fit properly, are they still comfortable to wear?"

The door was opened a crack at this time, and Ji Yuan was squeezing his eyebrows through the crack in the door.

Seeing this scene, the old Taoist priest held the dust and made a gesture to fight, 'frightened' Ji Yuan hurriedly closed the door, but through the door panel, which was not thick, there was a faint sound of laughter.

Zhang Zhiya couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know how he picked up such an apprentice and came back.

He sighed, then shook the dust in his hand, and sat back on the bench under the eaves, a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes, full of a smile of relief.

This apprentice...... It's a good pickup!

If he does it again, he will definitely pick it up!
