Chapter 21: Blessings and Misfortunes

The shopkeeper panicked for a moment, and secretly scolded himself for telling a lie just now. There were a few more tendons in his brain, his eyes moved a few times, and he hid his face and cried: "Oh, this is their treachery." This Taoist priest came to sell the boy and me last night when there was no one. I relented for a moment and gave him the money on the spot, not even the deed. I don't want him to steal the children today, so I can catch them. ”

"Whew! We only came here this morning, what the hell did you see last night? In the morning, we entered the town from Nanshan Pass, as evidenced by the collection of taxes and silver by the Shenlan Sect. If you don't believe, go and find out. Old thing, you don't have anything to say now. Xuanyi pointed at the old man and retorted firmly.

The old man covered his face with his sleeve and pretended to cry, all the while lying to him. Heart, this is really a lie and a lie, and the loopholes are even more broken. I didn't expect this little girl to be so difficult. His eyes shook a few times, and he used all his brain power to cry hard: "That's it." Last night, the Taoist priest sold you to me, stole you at night, and deliberately showed up from Nanshan Pass this morning, and then sent the child back, this is the means of your partnership to cheat money. Last night, all the guys in my store were there, and they could testify. ”

"Yes, we testify. They did come last night! ......" The big men in the store hurriedly supported it.

Xuanyi raised his hand angrily and scolded: "Hey, you old monster is really a gluten that can't be hammered and twisted." You can make up nonsense casually, and if you talk to a scum like you, you will lose my face. Master, you're on! Subdue this green-skinned ghost and let him know that he knows that the Taoist priest is powerful! ”

In this way, the Taoist looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, you said that we came last night and asked me to take a thousand taels of silver in public." The guys in the store can see it clearly, right? ”

The shopkeeper's face was serious, and he cried aggrievedly: "Of course! Last night I saw that you were pitiful, so I fell for your wickedness. At that time, all the guys in my store were there, and they were all able to prove it for me. If there is a lie, the sky will thunder and thunder, and I will not die well. "That's right! We prove that they have come! We prove! The big men echoed in unison again.

Seeing the other party's words, the Taoist walked to Ling Cao's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Ling Xiao nodded when he heard this, pointed to the guy in the store, and shouted, "Since you all said that you could see clearly last night, then this will be easy to do." Come on, bring all the guys in this shop to the door. Let them each write down what happened last night, and write clearly what time the three Taoist priests arrived, what they said to the shopkeeper, and finally weigh the silver, yard silver, who is the silver, what pocket is used to hold the silver, when did he leave, and when he left, whether he was carrying the silver, or holding the silver. If you agree on the answers, then the three of them did come last night, and if the answers are different, then they are all lies. You people, like the shopkeepers, are all convicted of child abduction and trafficking, and they will be stoned in the mountains for the rest of their lives. ”

Hearing such a detailed question, everyone panicked. How can the answer be the same for this nonsense. Seeing that everyone's hearts were weak, Ling Cao smashed the wooden cabinet next to him with one palm, and shouted: "If you don't tell the truth, if you dare to lie, the crime will be added to one degree." ”

The crowd hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy, saying that it was the shopkeeper's order, and they did not dare to disobey. The shopkeeper wanted to quibble again, but Ling Cao ordered someone to gag him directly, and then let the minions tell the truth. It turned out that in the morning, the three Taoists were all over the street to buy the Demon Sword, and they happened to be seen by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw that the Taoist was poor and lonely, and the two children beside him were clever and dexterous, so he had evil intentions and made a trap to abduct him. No, Ling Cao broke in and broke his good deeds.

After the details were ascertained, Ling Cao pointed at the shopkeeper and said angrily: "You, the shopkeeper, have tens of millions of dollars, and you actually viciously framed passers-by, which is really hateful. Come to think of it, you will do many such evil things in the past. As the master of the Shaoyang Hall of the Killing Feng Sect, I have the rules to take care of Tongshan Town, and I will punish you severely today. locked up this gang of villains, and all of them were sent to the Killing Blade Sect for strict trial, and I was given all the evil things in the past to find out, and punish them severely. ”

The red-clothed warrior immediately took out a rope and tied up all the people in the shop. Seeing that the matter was revealed, the shopkeeper still did not panic on his face, but became more arrogant, violently pushed away the warriors who restrained him left and right, raised his head, and smiled wildly: "I see who dares to touch me." Lao Tzu has been in Tongshan Town for 20 years, and he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter today, so he is planted in the hands of a broken Taoist priest. However, what if you find out, to tell you the truth, I am the nephew of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Forge Sect. The strength of the Heavenly Forge Sect is far above the other three sects, even if you are the sect master of the Blade Killing Sect, you are not qualified to touch me. Our four major sects are also considered a family, if you don't see it now, we will be safe and sound, and we will have your own benefits in the future. If not, my uncle will condemn him, and I am afraid that none of you will be able to bear it. ”

Hearing such arrogant words, everyone wondered, when did the Sect Master of the Heavenly Forge Sect have such a nephew? Ling Xiao glared angrily, unceremoniously slapped a palm in the air, and the powerful dragon-shaped purple qi crashed into the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was immediately knocked out of the door, fell to the street, vomited blood, and fell to the ground.

Ling Cao flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Vicious old thief, he dares to be rampant when his crimes are exposed, it is really a good atmosphere to corrupt a place." He is the son of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Forge Sect, and I can't spare him today. Take them all! ”

The two children's grievances were revealed, and they were naturally overjoyed. "Big brother, you're so handsome! hit the old toad with one palm and vomited blood, what a big piece of people's hearts! Xuanyi gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile. Ling Cao touched Xuanyi's head and said with a smile: "You are also very smart." Be careful in the future and don't fall for others again. ”

The Taoist took out two spirit runes from his arms, handed them to Ling Cao, and said, "Thank you, Shaoxia for helping." These two spirit runes are considered to be a thank you gift from the Taoist. This is the yin and yang amulet, you and your wife each wear one, in the future, you can turn evil into good fortune and help you be safe. ”

Ling Cao smiled and waved his hand, "Hey, little Taoist, you are wrong. I haven't married a wife yet, so it's useless for you to give me this talisman. Besides, I believe that people's fate is in their own hands, and it is not something that can be controlled by a small paper symbol. You'd better keep it and sell it to others. The Taoist stuffed the rune into Ling Cao's hand, "Those who have a mole on their neck, the blessed noble girl, is your wife." ”

With that, lift your feet and leave. Ling Cao was stunned on the spot when he heard this. Xuan Yi smiled and said: "Big brother, my master is a Shinto, and his talisman can't ask for one even if the emperor can't ask for one, so put it away." After saying that, he jumped up and left.

"Strange! How did he know that my heart had a mole on his neck. Do you know me? Ling Cao stood in place, looking at the spirit talisman in his hand, he was very puzzled. picked up the two demon-subduing swords on the ground and quickly chased them out, "Hey, Xiaodao Chief, you don't want to buy the demon-subduing sword." The old shopkeeper has caused you a crime, and these two demon-slaying swords can be regarded as his compensation for you. Ling Cao handed the sword to him and said with a smile.

The Taoist did not shirk either, and said, "Thank you." Xuanyi, Xuantian, collect the sword. Ertong was really surprised, and immediately happily put away the sword, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, big brother, big brother, you are so handsome." "Little Daoist, do you know me? Otherwise, why did you say what you just said? I don't know if there is any other advice? Ling Cao said with a question. It's yours, and you can't escape. It's not yours, and you can't catch it. That's all the little Taoist priest said. Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, farewell. ”

After speaking, the Taoist brushed the dust, the wind blew, and the sand covered his face. When Ling Cao opened his eyes, the three of them were gone, and he sighed: "It turned out to be a master." I'm afraid this skill is ten times stronger than our sect master, it seems that this is my chance. ”

Holding the demon sword, the two children strode with high spirits, as if they really had the style of a demon slayer. Xuan Yi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Master, although I fell for the evil deeds of the green-robed old monster, I also caught a bunch of harmful spirits and got the demon sword, this deal is not a loss!" It's just that since you gave the eldest brother a spirit talisman, why don't you tell him the details of the future? "Okay. The teacher asks you, what is the secret of heaven that cannot be revealed? ”

Xuan Yi bit his finger and thought for a while, and said: "The so-called heavenly machine is the law of the operation of the heavenly way, including the future fortunes, blessings and misfortunes, birth and death of heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts. Enlightened people may have supernatural beings who can see or predict certain celestial opportunities in advance. If you say it in advance, it can change or even push things in the opposite direction. Therefore, the heavenly machine cannot be said explicitly when it is seen, and it cannot be stopped when encountered, so it must develop naturally. Oh, that's why you can't tell him. ”

"When you ask a question, you have already felt the trajectory of the answer, and in the future, you must first find the answer by yourself, and then ask the teacher if you can't find it. Ling Cao is at a crossroads in his life, and he will know how to do it in the future. We must pay attention to the method of doing things, we must know what is appropriate, and we must know the cause and effect before and after. People in the world always seek supernatural powers, but don't they know that if there is no merit of others, supernatural powers are a major obstacle to cultivation. Therefore, before the master teaches you skills, he must first cultivate your extraordinary merits. Starting tomorrow, you will wake up half an hour early every day and start your morning lessons. ”

"Ahh It's still early to get up! We're up very early now, and I can't sleep enough to be long. It's the same with classes during the day, we have a lot of time anyway. "You can't always envy others for being great and not working hard yourself. Xuanyi wants to become the first person in the Six Realms, so he should make greater efforts. "Good! For the first place in the Six Realms, then I will work hard. Now let's eat roast chicken, I'm hungry! ”

"Sister, there happens to be a restaurant here, let's eat here." Xuanyi pointed to the roadside restaurant and shouted. Xuanyi turned his head and looked, "Mobai Liquor House?" It's another word that doesn't make sense, hey, my belly is hungry, and I don't have the strength to discuss the strange name of this restaurant, so I ate here. Brother, rush, eat roast chicken! ”

Entering the restaurant, as soon as the three of them sat down, they saw that the fat monk who was sitting in the hall was sitting with one hundred and eight large Buddha beads hanging around his neck in the morning. The fat monk was arrogant, and he ordered a table full of good dishes, including fried elbows with sauce, steamed tender duck, and what mandarin fish, roasted wheat, stewed chicken, roasted wax goose, sauced meat, etc., as well as two large jars of wine, eating and drinking happily.

"It's a rice bucket, and I've eaten too much. Master, this is not the fat monk who was beaten by you in the morning. Look at his eating appearance, like a pig grabbing food. Genichi grinned. Don't discuss right and wrong. The Taoist criticized. At this time, Xuantian suddenly pulled Xuanyi again, looked at the door and said, "Hey, sister, look." The two men in black with knives also came in the morning! Xuan Yi looked at them one by one, covered his mouth and smiled: "It's not that the enemies don't get together, and the dead Huangquan is full of debts." These two black-clad masked and flashing imps also came, so the two sides must have a good show to watch when they meet. ”
