A large circle of people on the street stood vigilantly, looking at each other, and then it was obvious that it was a misunderstanding.

The two warriors were frightened into a cold sweat in vain, annoyed in their hearts, and arrogantly pointed at the big monk and scolded: "Bald donkey, what are you bumping into blindly." If you are in a hurry to see your Buddha in the West, say it, and Lao Tzu will send you there for free. ”

The monk is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, fat belly and fat face, and at first glance he knows that he is a flower monk who does not chant scriptures and likes wine and meat. There is even more intolerable violence, he was scolded for no reason, and his eyes exploded in anger, and he took off one hundred and eight big Buddha beads like iron walnuts on his neck, and scolded: "Hey, there are two little ghosts running in hell, and I can't find the door, so I will send you back to the underworld." "The bald donkey is looking for death." With a roar of rage, the two warriors attacked left and right, and the scimitar drew an arc and slashed at the monk. The monk gritted his teeth and drank, his feet cracked and flew out, and his hands picked up the Buddha beads like an iron curtain to hit the two. Suddenly, sparks flew between the Buddha beads and the steel knife, and they were sonorous.

Xuanyi hid behind the Taoist and said with a smug smile: "Master, don't blame me for this, they want to fight themselves." "I don't blame you, why did you explain it to me." The Taoist twisted his right hand lightly, cast a spiritual spell, and flew up a leaf on the ground, turning into three green rays and hitting the three people who were fighting. Listening to the three "oops", I saw that the fat monk crooked his feet, and the two warriors flashed their waists. The three of them were unstable on their feet, afraid of being hurt by each other, one holding their legs, two holding their waists, and they fled separately.

"Master, how did you do that? Why did you beat the three of them away without making a sound? Xuanyi said in surprise. The monk had an injury to his left foot. The two swordsmen had a hidden disease in their waists, and I hit them with a single blow. "Master, your eyesight is too good, you can also see this." Xuanyi slapped the Taoist's thigh in adoration. "It's because your eyesight is too bad. I only care about getting angry, and I don't look at the dots when I walk. ”

The street returned to calm, and the black-robed old woman who was bumped into by Xuan Yi just now walked slowly step by step with a cane. When she came to the three of them, the old woman raised her head, revealing a yellow skull under the black cloak, with deep sunken eye sockets and mottled teeth, as if she had become a dried corpse. "Ahh Xuanyi and Xuantian screamed in surprise, and then hid behind the Taoist.

"Tsk, the little Taoist priest is a bit of a Taoist, and a single leaf can solve your apprentice's death, which is interesting." The old woman's voice was also like a ghost, and she laughed and laughed. The Taoist reprimanded: "You vicious old ghost, you deliberately framed my apprentice just now, and you dare to come forward to find a fight." The old woman laughed, and the skull's eye sockets suddenly ignited a dark blue ghost fire, and she changed her voice and said: "These two little babies are the devils of heaven and earth, and it is their fate to kill their parents and masters." It's better to sell them to me and solve your calamity, and you can choose from the gold and silver mountains, the elixir holy scroll, and the spiritual artifact and divine treasures. How is it? "Crack!" The Taoist cracked the word, and the old woman screamed like thunder, and her body was split into eight petals, and puffs of black smoke disappeared from the street.

Ertong jumped out happily, and Xuan Yixi said, "Master, what kind of goblin is this skeleton old monster?" Why did you knock her away with one word? "She's a witch, and she's got five hundred years of mana. Just now you rushed into her, and she noticed your fate, and wanted to harm the two of you to become medicine people. I used heaven and earth to say that I abolished her century-old work, which is a small punishment. Xuantian opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a witch, and she still wants to harm us." Why didn't the master beat her to death, so that she wouldn't hurt others. ”

"Even the wicked must understand the evidence before they can be punished. Moreover, although such witches have some greedy and bad intentions, they also know cause and effect, and they have their own rules for taking refuge in their wickedness. Just now, she didn't do it directly with you, but first wanted to cause a bloody incident and involve you in trouble. After I cracked it, she wanted to use heavy profits to lure her teacher to exchange you two, which is the witch's method. They like to take advantage of people's greed to make transactions, and deception is their most common method, and they belong to the category of evil spirits who have fallen into good hearts. They will promise people money, power, and even longevity, youth, and other benefits that the world dreams of, in exchange for the most precious things of people. Once you agree to trade with them, endless pain ensues. I have met many people who have not resisted the temptation to trade with witches, and their fate has hardly been tragic. ”

Xuanyi became interested and asked, "Master, then you tell me carefully, how they traded and how miserable they were?" ”

"When I was walking in the Northland Wasteland, I once met an old man whose name was Yu Yan. When I saw him, his body had turned into a puddle of stinking water, but he was still not dead, and could only lie deep in the dirt and weep helplessly. He told me that a thousand years ago he was the king there, and that he had millions of strong men under his command and controlled a territory of 2,000 miles. He had many wives and concubines, so many children that he could not even recognize by name, and hundreds of millions of people who admired him. The taste of power intoxicated him, death was his worst enemy, and he was always looking for a way to live forever. One day, a witch approached him and promised him a dream of eternal life, in exchange for the sacrifice of his entire land and people. He calculated that if he could live forever, he would have endless time, so it would not be difficult to reunite his people and plunder the land, so he readily agreed. Later, the witch did not break her promise and gave Yu an extended life. But he didn't expect that immortality could not replace pain and aging. Without the protection of the state, he was soon struck down by poverty and old age, and became a beggar on the side of the road. In the end, he was seriously ill and could not even move, so he was hastily buried in a deserted grave. However, no matter how old he was, even if his body was rotting, he could not die, and could only stay like dirt in the dark underground. For a thousand years, pain and loneliness have become his inseparable companions, but immortality has become his most terrible curse. It wasn't until the teacher passed by and heard his call that he relieved his pain and sent his soul to rest. ”

"Ah, immortality is terrible. However, the witch did not lie to him, and he did live forever. Master, if people can have both the abilities of immortality and youth, will such a tragedy be avoided? Xuan Yi pondered.

"Most of them will have this idea, and then take a chance to make a deal with the devil. Yu Yan's story is not over, after I rescued Yu Yan, he told me before he passed away that there was a person who was suffering from immortality thousands of miles away, and he wanted me to save her. And she is Yu Yan's former daughter, and she is also the queen of the country next door, Ji Jia. When Yu Yan's story spread, his daughter Jijia thought that the reason why his father did not end well was that he only cared about immortality and forgot the importance of youth. So, she also found the witch and asked for both immortality and youth. The witch gave her youth and immortality at the cost of all her people and land, as well as all the blessings of her offspring. What Jijia didn't expect was that the witch gave her the means of immortality by turning her body into a piece of colored jade. The body of jade is difficult to wear and tear, and it can also maintain a long period of youth. But with such a body, she couldn't move a bit, and eventually became the laughing stock of the world, falling into long-term pain like Yu Yan. Even, being snatched around by others, has become an ornament for the strong to prove their strength. When I found her, she was being hung on the city gates, suffering from the wind and rain, the cold of winter, and the abuse of the people. Eventually, I freed her from her curse and restored her human body. It's a pity that after losing everything and experiencing thousands of years of suffering, she no longer has the ability to be happy. This is the witch, who offers her all that she cherishes, and she will only sell you endless sorrow. ”

"Ahh It's horrible. This witch is too cunning and vicious. Isn't it a lie to turn people into jade? If I meet such a witch in the future, I will beat her all over the ground to find her teeth. Xuanyi was indignant, clenched his fists and said fiercely.

"There is no limit to the greed of the human heart, and it is precisely in this way that witches, demons, and evil men can take advantage of them. And the evil mana comes from the greed of the human heart, and the devil cannot control the person without greed. In addition to greed, anger, jealousy, laziness, and confusion are also weaknesses that the devil can exploit. If you want to defeat them, in addition to extraordinary wisdom, you also have to cultivate your own merits. "Got it. Master, we are still young, let us enjoy a few years of worldly pleasures. Brother, let's continue to watch and have fun. ”

Xuanyi grinned, and pulled Xuanyi to run away happily.

Come to a sparsely populated corner with scattered stalls. In front of an inconspicuous stall where no one stopped, the three of them stopped. The stall owner is a middle-aged woman with a yellow and thin complexion, white sideburns, hollow eyes, and a linen dress on her head. Next to her sat a little girl of seven or eight years old, lively and lovely, but also with a sallow face and pale lips.

Xuanyi and Xuantian stood and looked at it, the things on the stall were very simple, only a few iron swords commonly used by demon slayers, and some scattered rune paper, copper kettles, veterinary drugs and other loose objects. It doesn't look like it's a special deal, it's like it's dealing with someone's relics.

Qingtian Daoist picked up a fist-sized bronze bead on the stall and asked the stall owner, "Madame, is polite." I don't know where this pearl came from? The woman barely looked up, and complained weakly, "This is left by her deceased husband." In addition to the debts that he couldn't pay off, he also left this pile of rags. If you like to give a few pennies, take it. "This bronze bead is engraved with an ancient magic spell, and its origin is not simple. Do you know where the honorable husband came from? The Taoist asked again. The woman snatched the beads from the Taoist's hand and threw them back to the stall, annoyed, "If you don't buy it, leave, why are you talking nonsense." Fuck off, fuck off. ”

When Xuan saw that his master was choked, he laughed happily. At this time, the girl next to the woman picked up the bronze beads, played with them in her hands, and said with an innocent and lively smile: "This bead was picked up by my father from Tonghu Lake three months ago. On that day, Shilitong Lake suddenly dried up, and a dragon king temple appeared in it, and my father and other demon slayers went to see it, so they picked up this bead at the bottom of the lake. ”
