Chapter 18 [The Art of Deception]

Laotuo Mountain is adjacent to the largest mountain range in the north of Cangzhou - "Beiling Mountain".

The two are separated by a strip of water, only dozens of miles apart, and there are a few scattered villages, and there are also folk geographical chronicles that delineate Laotuo Mountain as an extension of the Beiling Mountain Range.

The Beiling Mountains traverse the east and west, stretching for thousands of miles, blocking most of the cold wind of the "sea of canglans", and the central and southern parts of Baocang Prefecture are as usual all year round.

There are countless large and small peaks in the North Ridge, during which the clouds and haze do not disperse all the year round, and the majestic trees rise and fall with the mountains, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, straight like the forest sea.

Mu Haotian pious thanksgiving direction of a hundred miles away, has passed the Beiling mountain boundary, in the primeval dense forest, the ancient trees are towering and the clouds, the branches are overlapping and knotted, almost to cover the sun and the sky.

The afternoon sun is blazing and hot, but it penetrates the thick forest fog but turns cold and indifferent, like a thin silk covering the canopy of a tree, which is covered by layers of lush leaves, and the sun can be seen all over the ground.

A white shadow wind also passed through the forest, the branches and leaves on both sides of the flowers and plants trembled violently, and thousands of small suns jumped violently, startling birds and insects to flee in all directions.

Suddenly, an object flew on the back of the white shadow, and it fell into the forest meadow with a bang, and the bones rolled out nearly ten zhang, and was bounced off by a large rock that was half buried in the ground, and threw it onto the tree with a "bang", smashing out a humanoid imprint.

It slowly slipped down in the middle of the night.

For a while, the sound of "humming, chirping" under the tree continued.

But the white shadow from before continued to gallop like a gale, and after a while, it turned back like a gale, looked for the man under the tree, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and licked his goodwill.

"Stupid horse, look for a fight!"

The man sat on the ground and supported the old waist, and raised his hand to reward the white horse with a chestnut.

The white horse was so painful that he was in tears, but his posture was even more flattering, and he knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and his red mane rubbed against the man's face.

The man had a white face but was rough, wearing a robe, with a neat bun on his head, and his outfit was not decent.

Ma Quartet scolded and scolded, two fists aimed at Kira's horse's head, and the child beat it indiscriminately as if he was angry, and finally let out a bad breath and stopped panting.

After a while, he suddenly sat cross-legged, frowning and muttering to himself:

"Amitabha...... How did it look like a cannibalistic curse just now, and my heart palpitated! Hurt the dignified white horse layman to fall off the horse? ”

The implication was not that the white horse made a mistake and left him behind, but the white horse took a beating from him, which was really unreasonable.

Soon he was heard saying:

"That's it, it's fair, don't be mediocre."

It seems that after just a moment of thought, he has looked down on life and forgotten his troubles.

Ma Sifang quickly turned his head to look, and when he saw that there was no one in sight, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he took out a two-foot-long jade scroll from his arms.

It's actually another "moon grabbing star map"!

Ma Sifang's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said to the scroll:

"Mu boy, this is obviously what you promised to borrow from your predecessors? But I didn't say it before, whether it's a time or a year, a year or a lifetime, haha! Ha ha! You have to ask when exactly it will be returned? Not...... Wait until the seniors I thoroughly understand the mystery of this picture, and return it from the time! ”

What is said here is solemn and serious, categorical, and then he smiled:

"Senior, I was also thoughtful, and Yinuo gave Mu Boy three commonly used treasures, this matter is not against the will, not against the will, haha! Ha ha! ”

After talking to himself for a long time, he was very proud when he finished speaking, and he lifted the scroll high, and wanted to open it to take a look.

When it was, a joking voice suddenly sounded behind Ma Sifang:

"It's worthy of deception, not only to deceive the smart boy, but also to hide the old fox's own heart."

The voice came without warning, as if the person who spoke was in his ear!

Ma Sifang's surprise was really extraordinary, a lazy donkey rolled on the spot, rolled out more than two feet, and stood up flipped.

A wooden fish mallet was shining with blue light, floating in front of him and on guard.

The Nagilian horse was also frightened, and stumbled behind him, hanging his head, and roaring again and again.

Next to the position where Ma Sifang was sitting before, a person stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Ma Sifang leisurely as if he was facing a great enemy, and a faint sneer rose on his lips.

"Is that you?"

Ma Sifang looked at it for a while, and popped out two words.

He didn't know this arrogant young man with purple hair, a heroic appearance, a clothes embroidered with butterfly petals, and a star cloak on his shoulders that shone brighter than his robe.

But not long after he said goodbye to Mu Xiaozi in the morning, he always felt that there was something behind him, and it was uncomfortable to twist around, and he vaguely guessed that this was followed by some amazing person.

Immediately performed a few more proud of his life's shadow technique, illusion technique, and blinding technique, and drove Kira around the mountains for a long time, and finally lost that weird feeling, so he was relieved, and planned to wander in the dense forest for a while, so he began to study the treasure map.

Who would have thought that not long after entering the dense forest, Dou Suddenly had a palpitation! As a result, he actually fell off his horse and fell into the mud with several dogs in a row.

Thinking of this, Ma Sifang immediately became furious, observing that at this moment, he had already seen some of the details of the other party, and seeing his hateful face of schadenfreude, he suddenly felt that it was tolerable or unbearable?

At the moment, he raised his eyebrows and glared, and said angrily:

"Purple-haired monster! You just came to attack this layman, yes or no? ”

The man was not angry when he heard this, but shook his head and said:

"I've been behind your back, and I've not plotted."

"Fart! Could it be that a dignified white horse layman riding a horse can still fall on his own? It's a fart! Speak up, talk fast! Who are you? What is the intention? ”

Ma Sifang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and he hit his hands together while talking, simulating fart.

The man smiled dumbly, stretched out his arms, and the butterfly flowers embroidered on his clothes seemed to come to life, and in an instant they turned into countless colorful butterflies, flying around his body, colorful.

Among the flowers, he smiled slightly and said:

"My name is Bright Night."

Ma Sifang frowned and said:

"Who cares what your purple-haired monster is called? I'm asking you what you're doing! Tracking this layman, and sneaking up behind his back, what kind of conspiracy is there? Hurry up and recruit from the truth! ”

Seeing him look like this, the handsome face couldn't help but show a stunned expression.

He came from the "Wild Demon Domain", and landed in Kyushu not long ago, indulging unscrupulous along the way, and doing several earth-shattering things.

At this moment, the name of "Demon King Yaoye" has already swept Kyushu like a hurricane, and has been widely publicized by the major families and sects, leading to the public enemy of the human race. Even his figure, appearance, and even the tone of his speech must have been traced with magic tools such as "phantom mirrors" and displayed everywhere.

The land of Kyushu is as vast as a sea of stars, although it is not known to everyone, and everyone is in danger, but there are few high-level monks who have never heard of his name at all.

Yaoye really didn't expect that there would be such a master here, who would dare to speak ill of him without fear, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said lightly:

"At first I followed a masked girl, then I followed the boy again, and instead of harming them, I rescued them once. From the moment you deceived the boy into obtaining the treasure map, I turned into a butterfly flower and attached it to your back. I've been following for a long time, if I really want to do it, how can I let you live until now? ”

Ma Quartet wandered around the world in a daze, neither famous nor met this big demon in the world, he didn't know it, and when he heard him deny it, he was shocked in his heart, and thought about it in a daze.

Suddenly, he was furious and shouted:

"The purple-haired monster still dares to quibble!"

Pinch the wooden fish in your hand! The wooden fish seemed to come to life, and its mouth opened widely, bursting out with a long buzzing sound like a whale bell and a dragon's ding, which was shocking.

The wooden fish mallet floating in front of him spun suddenly, and the blue light flashed wildly! The fallen leaves all over the ground rose into the air, and they were suddenly rolled up by the wooden fish mallet, and gathered like a whirlwind, turning into a blue dragon in an instant, and slammed into the bright night.

Ma Sifang said to do it, the change was done in one go, as fast as a flash of electricity, the two were only three zhang apart, and the moment the blue dragon was formed, a hideous and terrifying dragon head was already approaching the face of the bright night.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yaoye's lips, his legs were slightly apart, and his left hand simply stretched forward, and he pressed the dragon's jaw.

I didn't see how hard he tried, and the mighty blue dragon couldn't get an inch anymore! The dragon's head was set in mid-air, and the dragon's body twisted and twisted wildly, sweeping the surrounding flowers, plants, branches, rain, dew, sand and stones, and the more they twisted, the thicker and thicker they became, but they were only struggling in vain.

Ma Sifang's face was as green as steam, his right hand held a paw on Na Bilong's abdomen, and his left hand kept waving, making Kira retreat far away.

Then he put his hands together and fought hard, and the blue dragon's whirling body froze suddenly, and the storm in his mouth swelled, and he suddenly spit out! Those stumps and leaves were like a whirling blade of blades, rolling into a torrent, rolling and pouring out, drowning Yaoye's body in the blink of an eye.

Yaoye's body trembled slightly, the star cloak on his shoulders trembled slightly, and a circle of multicolored light spread unexpectedly, enveloping his body.

The dense sound of "puff puff" was like a shower hitting the lake, and those branches, leaves, flowers, sand and stone dewdrops really seemed to turn into countless golden iron blades, blue light and rosemary, cold and dizzy.

But the starry light cover was solid, the blue dragon breathed away, the grass, trees, sand and soil on the ground were like a grain pile, but the bright night was safe and sound, and he didn't even move half a step.

Seeing this, Ma Sifang was furious, quickly recited a spell in his mouth, and pinched a finger and poked it on the belly of the blue dragon.

The Xuanqing light flashed in, the blue dragon hissed in pain, and its thick body shook violently, suddenly expanding from the dragon's tail, and rolling forward along the dragon's body one by one.

With each roll and advancement, the blue dragon's body shortened by one section and doubled in size, showing that it was gathering strength.

At this moment, I heard Yaoye laugh and laugh:

"Hah! Dance the dragon in front of your grandfather dragon, enough trouble! ”

After speaking, he didn't see him speak, but Ma Sifang really heard a loud dragon groan.

But seeing the fierceness in Yaoye's eyes, the hand behind the negative instantly changed to the front of him, expanded into a strong claw, and went straight into the dragon's mouth that was ready to attack, and stirred it twice as hard as grinding ink.

The blue dragon's body froze when he landed, and a mouthful of violent dragon breath was held in his throat, expanding like a giant wheel.

As Yaoye grabbed an object and withdrew his hand, the blue dragon's head skull, which had changed drastically and looked like a peacock opening its screen, exploded, and hundreds of millions of points of blue light rushed to all sides like a storm, and the primeval dense forest was wrecked in an instant.

Limang flew all over the sky, and the horses waved their robes in all directions and screamed.

After the storm subsided, all the ordinary plants and trees in the surrounding area of hundreds of feet were flattened and crushed, and the thick ancient trees were also full of holes, visible objects, and a thick layer of broken branches and sawdust on the ground.

A wooden fish mallet flashed wildly, struggling fiercely in Yaoye's hand, but it was dimmed by the light with a flick of his bent fingers, and the whining trembled.

Ma Quartet desperately pinched the trick to guide, and his neck was red with all his strength.

Yaoye moved his fingers together, playing with the mallet in his hand with great interest, and saw that the phantom of a one-horned sword-fin monster dragon flashed on it from time to time, and said with relief:

"No wonder, this spirit was originally refined by the spirit of the 'Fish Dragon of the Swimming River'."

On the other side, Ma Sifang had no choice but to give up casting the spell to recall the wooden fish mallet, and stood in place with his waist crossed, staring at Yaoye angrily.

After a while, his expression suddenly changed solemnly, and he asked:

"How do you know about the art of deception?"

Yaoye smiled:

"I learned by chance, I thought it was only in legends, but today I am fortunate to see it, and it is really worthy of its name."

Ma Sifang's face turned red when he heard this, but he obviously didn't feel weak when he spoke, and said with a straight face:

"Deceive the sky, deceive the sky, deceive the 'sky'!! This layman never deceives people, and what he says is reasonable, and he definitely does not treat that kid badly, so he is naturally worthy of his heart. ”

obviously used clever means to deceive Baotu, but this crooked reason was so eloquent that he laughed at it and didn't argue with him.

Only said:

"If the man who deposited the treasure found out afterwards, he would have killed the young man to vent his anger; If the thing you give to that young man is bumped into by an unscrupulous man, he will be more than lucky with his little ability. ”

These words sounded inexplicable to others, but when they fell on Ma Sifang's ears, they were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he shook his shoulders fiercely, and his ears and brains buzzed.

There is a "true heart theory" in his Dao practice, that is, everything must not be done against the original heart.

If you adhere to the "right path" and vow to punish evil and promote good, then you must not be tainted with cause and effect that are contrary to it, otherwise it is very likely to damage the Dao heart and lead to the destruction of arduous cultivation.

But there are thousands of ways to reach the sky, and naturally there are ways to drill through the void. For example, as long as he finds sufficient and reasonable reasons to convince himself, it is not considered "against his will", and it still belongs to the scope of the mystery of the art of deception.

Of course, the reasons used to convince oneself cannot be fabricated out of thin air, but must be supported by "facts".

Let's just say "borrow the treasure map to take a look".

Ma Sifang first asked Mu Haotian to borrow it in person, but did not say the specific return time, and ordinary people would never notice it, and then he calmly stimulated the divine power of the treasure, captured Mu Haotian's mind, and finally "borrowed" the real picture with a blind method.

And for peace of mind and foolproof, he gave Mu Haotian three treasures that he had promised before.

Of course, in the end, Ma Sifang didn't think about taking the treasure map for himself, and only returned it after the enlightenment, as for the deadline, it would be a big deal.

In this way, as long as he avoids Mu Haotian from now on, even if Mu Haotian does suffer misfortune because of this, he himself closes his ears and listens, knowing nothing, and he will no longer trigger the cause and effect of this matter.

But all this is based on the fact that the "heart" does not know it.

Ma Sifang has been immersed in this way for many years, and he knows all the mathematics, and today's things should be seamless.

However, he met an unpredictable demon king, who watched everything in secret, and the most terrible thing was that he actually knew a lot about this unheard of art of deception.

The two situations that Yao Ye casually said were indeed very likely to happen because of what Ma Sifang did.

Now that the "original heart" had learned about it, he had to set about solving the matter, and even gave up this strange treasure that had a lot to do with his preaching.

All this, Ma Sifang heard Yaoye's two words break the mystery, as if he had been struck by thunder, his body shook for a moment before he calmed down, and said to Yaoye in a cold voice:

"The purple-haired monster is really bold, as a dragon demon clan, he dares to go deep into the hinterland of Kyushu!"

Yaoye laughed and said:

"Each other, you lonely soul and wild ghost, don't you still kill ghosts and evil spirits, and do chivalrous deeds?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Sifang's eyes suddenly flashed blue, and his two fingers grabbed into the mouth of the wooden fish fiercely, almost unable to resist the shot, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

"In that case, how about you and I not violate the river water?"

Yaoye was unaware of his strange appearance, and bowed slightly:

"That's very good."

Ma Sifang's chest rose and fell like a wave, snorting and panting quickly, as if he was still suppressing the urge to strike again, weighing it again and again, rolling his eyes, and hatefully:

"You give me back the gavel first!"

One sentence was full of resentment, Yaoye suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughed heartily, and threw the wooden fish mallet back to Ma Sifang.

Ma Sifang took back the magic weapon, his face softened greatly, and he said indifferently:

"Purple-haired monster, you have worked hard, you won't just want to spoil my Dao heart."

Yaoye shook her head:

"There is no injustice and no hatred, naturally not."

Ma Sifang was surprised:

"Are you here for Mu Boy?"

Yaoye still shook her head:

"If it's not a parent, what's the point?"

Ma Sifang's eyes narrowed, and he asked again:

"Then why did you help him so much?"

Yaoye smiled:

"I'm different from you, I want to help him at this time, I can help him, turn my head and kill him if I want to, it's all based on preference, no need to twist and turn."

Ma Sifang recalled, but Jue Mu Kid is an honest and honest person, although he looks good, but he can't reach the dragon demon himself, but there is a kind of warm appeal in that smile, but other than that, it can be described as plain, and it shouldn't be worth attracting the attention of such a world-famous demon.

Immediately, he looked suspicious, swept over Yaoye's body, and suddenly realized something, brushed the ground and turned around to hold the "Yaoyue Star Map" in his arms!

Screaming:

"Don't even think about it! I won't borrow it! ”

The color is strong, the speech is sick, and the posture is exaggerated, like a wild boar to protect food. After waiting for a moment, but not waiting for Yaoya's response, he only heard Kira's horse neighing and stomping in the distance.

Ma Sifang turned his head to look back suspiciously, and suddenly saw Yaoye's smiling face close to his nose, he was taken aback, and fell backwards under his feet.

Yaoye quickly reached out to hold his waist, and reached out again to touch him in his arms.

These two shots were as fast as lightning, Ma Sifang was stunned by him, stunned to see him smiling like the wind, and said unconsciously in his mouth:

"Thank you ......"

After standing firmly, he was shocked to find that his arms were empty, his heart was half cold, and he scolded:

"Purple-haired monster! This layman said that he would not borrow!! ”

"I didn't say I wanted to borrow it!"

In a blink of an eye, he saw that Yaoye's figure was ten feet away, and laughed,

"I'm robbing!"

The speed is almost like a flying arrow, and a string of afterimages is printed in mid-air, and after a sentence is finished, it has flashed without a trace.

"Purple Haired Monster ~~~~~"

Ma Sifang looked up to the sky and howled sadly, beat his chest, heartbroken, and tried his best to curse in the same place, but he only cried out in vain.

After a while, Ma Sifang slapped his thigh fiercely, and the wooden fish in his hand knocked loudly:

"It's over, it's over, it's over, the treasure map is lost, the cause and effect have been stained, and the purple-haired monster really suffers me!"

On that day, a heart-rending ghost cried wolf howl, echoing for a long time in the dense forest of Beiling Mountain.
