The dark clouds over the ancient town are getting heavier and heavier, and it looks like it is about to rain.

Perhaps because the weather made people feel oppressive, Fang Yuan's heart was a little messy. So after walking for a while, he took Xiaoman and Wang Yuchu to find a small restaurant on the grounds that he was hungry, ordered a few Jiangnan side dishes, and stopped to rest.

"Actually, your ability doesn't belong to you, while you're still here, you have to hold on tightly......"

The girl's voice seemed to be a ghost from hell, haunting Fang Yuan's heart. In fact, Fang Yuan didn't care if the current world was his original world, he didn't even care if he belonged to this world or not.

A thin breeze blew through, and Fang Yuan silently opened the Eye of Reality and examined his attributes again. What he cares about is this feeling of being full of power, this way of life that can do whatever he wants, which makes him unbridled and intoxicated.

Those twenty-nine years of life were too depressing, and Fang Yuan only wanted to get unparalleled strength now, because only that real power could bring him the feeling he wanted. Now that he suddenly learned that this ability didn't actually belong to him, Fang Yuan admitted that he was indeed a little panicked at that moment.

This world has brought him too much injustice, poor background, thin body, unremarkable looks, and cowardly character. He finally got such a chance to turn things around, as if he had caught a little light in despair, he must ask for everything that the world owes him little by little!

Since this ability doesn't belong to you, you can only speed it up and make yourself strong enough before it is taken back!

"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan!"

In a trance, Fang Yuan heard Xiao Man seem to be calling himself, so he let out an overwhelmed "ah".

Xiao Man's brows furrowed slightly: "What's wrong with you? You have been restless since the beginning? ”

Seeing Xiao Man, Fang Yuan couldn't help but think of the talisman annotated with "Destroy the World" again. If Xiaoman's talisman annotation is really a "salvation", could it be that he and Xiaoman should actually stand on opposite sides?

No, she must not know about it. Although Fang Yuan felt that the annotation was a bit ridiculous, he still wanted to enjoy life, and it had nothing to do with the destruction of the world at all. But the key is that Xiao Man believes in this thing, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he must not let Xiao Man know what the content of his talisman is.

"Oh......" Fang Yuanmu paused for a while and said, "The weather is not very good, I am wondering what we should do next if it rains for a while!"

Wang Yuchu said: "We still haven't finished more than half of the east of the town, it seems that we really have to speed up the pace, otherwise we may not be able to go to the west of the town today." ”

"But it's very strange!" Xiao Man said thoughtfully, "Those shop vendors are generally locals, why haven't they heard of the fire in Baiji Ancient Town? It stands to reason that the fire that burned down half of the town should not be a trivial matter, and even the local chronicles should have a record!"

Wang Yuchu also nodded, and said, "I also think this is a little strange! As if this incident has never happened to them. ”

Fang Yuan asked, "Could it be that the ancient books in your family's library are recorded incorrectly?"

"No!" Wang Yuchu rarely had such a firm attitude, "I can be sure of this, the record of that ancient book will definitely not be wrong......! Because those ancient books are very important to our family......"

With Wang Yuchu's character, he can be so firm in this matter, which shows that the source of information is still reliable. But the people in this town don't look like they're lying, so what's the problem?

Just as Fang Yuan was about to have a round of brainstorming, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray linen costume sat on the only empty seat at their square table. This uncle's hairstyle and appearance are a bit like Gu Tianle's version of Yang Guo, that is, he has a beard like Huang Rihua's version of Qiao Feng.

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "This buddy, who are you?"

The middle-aged uncle smiled, but he was quite heroic in a martial arts movie, and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, everyone." In Xia Qi Boling, he is a craftsman who walks the streets and alleys. I'll take a small place for you to eat a while, finish it right away, and leave when you're done!"

As he spoke, Qi Boling took out a large steamed bun that had eaten a small half from his arms, and he didn't even need a pickle, and began to gnaw on it in a big gulp.

Fang Yuan originally thought that this uncle was playing cosplay, or the extras around him. I didn't expect to be a really old-fashioned person, and even the food he ate was serious dry food.

Xiao Man watched Qi Boling gnaw on the steamed buns one by one, so he quickly got up and took a cup of tea for him, and said softly: "Uncle, you take a sip of tea, don't choke." Also, we just ordered this dish, so if you don't dislike it, let's eat a little together!"

Qi Boling smiled a little embarrassedly, quickly put down the steamed bun in his hand, rubbed his hands on his clothes vigorously, and then took the teacup handed by Xiaoman, and said: "How embarrassing is this! Thank you so much for this girl, your heart is so kind!"

Xiao Man smiled slightly, opened a new set of tableware and put it in front of Qi Boling, and said, "It's okay, you can eat with us! It must be very hard to walk the streets and alleys, right? Eat more to have the strength to work!"

Qi Boling was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Xiaoman to really invite him to dinner. After a while, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a somewhat solemn tone: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I ate this meal, count me Qi Boling owing you a favor to the girl." ”

Fang Yuan was obviously a little unhappy with this person's incursions, but Xiao Man had already spoken, and he couldn't say anything, but his disgust and disgust were written on his face that he couldn't hide.

Perhaps sensing Fang Yuan's unhappiness, Wang Yuchu wanted to deliberately liven up the atmosphere, so he said, "Uncle, you said that you are a craftsman, I don't know what you do?"

Qi Boling smiled heartily, took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said, "That's what I made." ”

"It's ...... Paper?" Fang Yuan said puzzledly, "Are you ...... Paper-making?"

But when Wang Yuchu saw this thing, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "This is rune paper!"

"Hehe!" Qi Boling smiled, "The little girl is quite knowledgeable! That's right, this is the rune paper." This is the custom in our town, and every house will have a few talismans pasted in its house, which are basically changed once a quarter. ”

Wang Yuchu hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you also know how to write talismans?"

"How can this be said?" Qi Boling thought for a moment, "It's a little bit the same!"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan quietly opened the Eye of Truth and checked Qi Boling's attributes, all of which were at a normal level, slightly higher than the average level of ordinary people, but not much higher.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but sneer, he really wanted to see what this uncle's expression would be if he knew that the girl sitting opposite him was the real heir of the Fu Dao family.

At this time, Xiao Man suddenly asked: "Uncle, do you know that there was a fire in this ancient town of Baiji before? I heard that the fire burned down half of the town!"

Qi Boling's expression paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I grew up here, and I haven't heard of any fires before." I think it is possible that the tourism promoters deliberately made it up to attract tourists in order to increase the legend of the ancient town. ”

As he spoke, Qi Boling had just finished his last bite. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, took out a cinnabar pen from his arms, wrote a vertical row of numbers on the rune paper, got up and saluted the three of them with fists, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, if you have a place to use someone in the future, just open your mouth!"

Fang Yuan looked at the row of numbers on the rune paper and asked with a frown, "How can I contact you?" Could it be...... Have you ordered this rune paper?"

Qi Boling laughed and said, "What are you doing with it? Could it be that if you click on it, I will know that you are looking for me? Little brother, young people can't be superstitious, they must believe in science, how can there be such a mysterious thing in this world? The row of numbers on it is my phone number, just call me if you have something!"

Seeing that Qi Boling had finally walked away, Fang Yuan came to Xiao Man's side and whispered, "Master, I can understand the kindness of your old man's family, but there must be a limit to kindness, right? ”

Xiao Man said disapprerovingly: "Why isn't it an obligation? We who cultivate the truth, isn't the meaning of cultivating the truth to help the weak and defend the common people? Isn't there a sentence that says that, and what is said is very reasonable!"

A few helpless question marks suddenly appeared on Fang Yuan's face, and he faintly asked, "Could it be...... Don't you do what is good?"

"Hey, yes, yes!" said Xiao Man, "That's it!

"Master......" Fang Yuan said, "I really think this sentence is just a ...... that Uncle Liu Huang used to fool people for show."

Fang Yuan said again: "Then Master, let me ask you! If there is a person now, he is the pillar of their family, but he has a very serious illness and needs 100,000 yuan to have any hope of treatment, and it happens that you have 100,000 yuan, will you give it to him?"

Xiao Man thought about it very seriously and said, "I may not have money, but the cultivator has an elixir that can cure diseases, so I can find a way to help him get one to try." ”

"Master, it's off topic!" Fang Yuan said helplessly, "I'll ask you now, if you have this money, will you give it to him?"

Xiao Man nodded without hesitation and said, "Give it!

"You have to think about it, 100,000 yuan is a lot of boxes of convenience, a lot of cups of milk tea, if you really give it to him, you will have nothing, will you give it back?"

Xiao Man still said without hesitation: "Give! Nothing is more important than human life!"

"But his life and death have nothing to do with us? He is very seriously ill, and it is not caused by us, so why should we bother with such an idle matter?"

"But this is not an idle matter, this is a life! Now that we have entered the path of cultivation, we should all the more have the virtue of a good life and a compassionate heart, so that we can be worthy of the talents and talents gifted by God!"

Fang Yuan was really helpless, so he had to take the sword sideways and said, "Okay, then now you give him all your money, but at this time you find out that he is a liar, he is not sick, he is just trying to cheat you out of money, what will you do?"

Xiao Man thought about it, and actually smiled, and said, "Isn't that good? It means that no one is sick, and no family will be sad or even collapsed." ”

"Focus!Master!Grasp the point!" Fang Yuan said, "The point is, all your savings are gone! Your instant noodles, milk tea, and even grilled sausages have all been cheated away!"

Xiao Man thought about it again and said, "Maybe he also has difficulties! Otherwise, who is willing to joke about his life and death? If the 100,000 yuan can help him tide over the difficulties, I am also very happy." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yuan really wanted to give himself a mouthful, he really didn't know for a while whether his cheap master was kind or stupid. If there really is a Virgin Mary in this world, it is probably Xiaoman, right?

But he thought of what happened to Xiaoman in Longshan Guan and Xiujia before, and thought of her forbearance all along, and he couldn't help but increase his hatred for this world. The world is like that, and it is never gentle with those who love it. Only when you become fierce and cruel will you suddenly find that the world has become gentle and submissive.

It's like a monk who has practiced penance for a hundred years, but he may not be able to achieve positive results. But when the wicked put down the butcher's knife, they can turn around and become a Buddha.

While the pair of masters and apprentices were whispering, Wang Yuchu was seriously fiddling with the talisman paper left by Qi Boling. Her hand rubbed against the thin piece of yellow paper, but her expression gradually became frozen.

"This ...... This rune paper...... It should be dedicated to some kind of formation!"
