From time to time, there were golden threads rising and falling in Ding Qiu's eyes, obviously using some kind of magical ability to observe things.

He took a closer look at the little boy in gray, his eyes were indifferent and pitying, and he sighed a few times and stopped talking.

Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ding Qiu put on his clothes and shook his head, his voice was rarely gentle, "Little civet cat, the old monk you have been waiting for will not come back." ”

The pigtailed boy suddenly blushed and roared, "Impossible!" He said that as long as I stay here, he will definitely come back to pick me up. ”

Ding Qiu was not angry, but gave birth to a trace of sadness, and repeated it a few times, "Don't wait, maybe even the ashes will be gone." ”

The innocent gray-clothed boy got up and stuffed the cake into the young man's hand, jumped behind the Buddha statue in two or three steps, and kept shouting, "There is really no good person in the world except the old abbot, you just want to drive me away, just like the people before me." ”

Jiang Huai chewed the dry cake one bite at a time, without saying a word, just staring at the man with his eyes, with some blame.

Ding Qiu didn't feel how he was doing, took a sip of wine, and said calmly: "The story is very simple, there is an old monk who happened to save a little civet cat, the latter was grateful, so he wanted to repay the other party, from taking some green vegetables and copper coins every day, to squatting in front of the old monk every day to listen to it chanting, this could have been said to be a good story, but the life span of the demon clan is too long, lovely..."

Speaking of this, the man paused, picked up a branch and pointed at the young man's chest, his expression was very solemn, "People will always die, no matter how high your ability is, no matter how big your official position is, even if you go to heaven and earth, destroy mountains and seas, there must always be a farewell day." ”

Behind the Buddha statue, he suddenly stretched out a small head, his voice was very miserable, and he couldn't stop choking, "No, he just said that he was a little tired and wanted to go out for a walk, and he would definitely come back to me." ”

Ding Qiu smiled and said nothing, raised his head to drink, and sighed: "Stupid idiot, it usually doesn't end well." ”

Jiang Huai stood up, shook his somewhat dry sleeves, walked to the Buddha statue and stretched out a hand, and the little boy hurriedly hid his figure.

The boy didn't stop his hand, but stood on tiptoe and stretched up a few inches.

The young man with a very delicate appearance stood in a strange posture like this, as if he was undecided, but he still spoke slowly, "My husband said that if people... If you go out, you will become a star in the sky, and although the sky is now full of dark clouds, if you speak to that person with your heart, you can hear it no matter how far away it is. ”

Naively poked out his little head, obviously a little unconvinced.

Jiang Huai smiled again: "It's true, I couldn't afford to eat every day when I was a child, in addition to studying, I would help others do some chores every day, but I still couldn't eat, I made a wish to the stars every day, and the next day I could really eat hot and delicious big buns, you see, I have grown so big now." ”

The gray-clothed boy's eyes suddenly bloomed with excitement, and he ran to the door, looked up at the rainstorm, and shouted: "Master Abbot, can you hear me, I really miss you very much, I miss you very much." ”

A white light lit up in the dark night road, and the gray-clothed boy was even more excited, so much so that he jumped up and said happily, "It's really useful." ”

But the next moment, a huge black shadow stirred up like a black python rolled up a gust of wind and rain, directly smashed the gray-clothed boy into the broken temple, and hit the mud Buddha statue, the earth and ash splashed everywhere, the mud and stone collapsed, and turned into a ruin.

Outside the door, two people walked with umbrellas, and a heroic woman in black withdrew the long whip she threw out, and made a playful voice, "Qi Yuansi, I want to take sixty percent of this official silver." “

A handsome-looking young man in a cyan cloud robe next to him hooked the corners of his mouth a little unwillingly, "It's true that Miss Mu made the first move, but in this matter of eliminating demons, we still have to see who will end up in the end." ”

The woman snorted coldly, strode into the temple, first glanced at the dazzling night pearl, then glanced around the room, and asked, "Who are the two?"

Ding Qiu got up and passed in front of the woman with a wine jug, squatted down at the door, and said lightly: "Come to avoid the rain, you can do whatever you want, this matter has nothing to do with me." ”

At the same time, a familiar voice came from Jiang Huaixinhu, "Boy, I said that I would only take care of your food and lodging, if you want to be a substitute for the dead, just go, of course, you can ask me to help you, and our agreement will be null and void." ”

The woman surnamed Mu looked at the man with the sword on her back with some meaning, but Qi Yuansi was sweating like rain, and the woman didn't care, but the moment the man squatted down just now was clearly a majestic momentum like a sea.

He wiped the droplets on his forehead, I don't know if it was sweat or rain, and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, senior." ”

Ding Qiu only cared about the wind and rain, so naturally he didn't answer.

The gray-clothed boy picked up the mud and stones, looked at the debris all over the ground and was stunned, and then a strong demonic aura permeated his body, his hands were even sharper, his feet moved, and the speed was extremely fast, and he rushed towards the two from above.

The woman in black didn't even look at it, the black whip flicked, and a thunderclap exploded in the air, and the black whip was suddenly as thick as a bucket, like an inverted sea dragon winding up, smashing the gray-clothed boy between the dirt again, and a shallow ditch cracked on the ground.

She retracted her whip and took two steps forward, her eyes full of sneers, "A little demon who is no more than a second realm, even dares to shake his majesty in front of me, and sure enough, even if he turns into a human form, a beast is still a beast." ”

Jiang Huai glanced at the woman, and pressed down the words to his lips, his face was as usual, but his voice was very heavy, "I don't know what the two of you are doing?"

Qi Yuansi laughed, retracted his gaze, and gave a scholarly salute, and the young man only bowed very lamely.

Qi Yuansi said with a smile: "You are also a scholar, as the so-called "slaying demons and eliminating demons, you should not let go", this place has to be stripped off and rebuilt, but because of this little demon's murderous deeds, it has been delayed for ten years, and everyone who comes is even more brutally killed, leaving no flesh and bones, no one took care of it before, but fortunately, Wuping County has a new Qingming official, settle this matter, reward silver, three thousand taels!"

The man's eyes were like fire, staring at the young man tightly, and he said word by word: "Brother Tai, don't do stupid things." ”

The gray-clothed boy jumped out of the shallow ditch, his face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "They don't want to rebuild the temple at all, I have already inquired, someone wants to buy this place as a moon viewing platform, if not, how could I..."

The boy's voice became lower and lower, and finally it was as thin as a mosquito, and he suddenly roared again, "Besides, I never hurt people at all, I just forced them to retreat, I am not wrong!"

The heroic woman couldn't help but snort coldly, "Qi Yuansi, what nonsense are you talking about, take it down first!"

The scholar in Tsing Yi was noncommittal, but was a little surprised when he heard the words, and asked the child, "Are you true?"

The gray-clothed boy nodded, "Of course it's true. ”

Qi Yuansi put his hands on his sleeves and swayed, but he was actually rubbing his hands.

He then breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand at the woman, "Originally, I still had a trace of hesitation, and the righteous path of eliminating demons was not what I should do, but when I heard about it, I had to take care of it, but I didn't think that in the end, it was used as a horse pistol, just don't care." ”

The man ran to Ding Qiu and squatted down as well, and asked respectfully, "Does the senior think it's true?"

The man pursed his lips, very impatient, "You can ask yourself." ”

The young scholar in green clothes really braved the rain and went away, drenched in soup.

The woman in black jumped like thunder and scolded angrily for "useless things", but she became happy instead.

Three thousand taels, it's not too much, it's not too much, it's not too much, but if you want two points, it's really not much.

With a twist of her toes, an aura in her body was like thunder and lightning, thunderclapping, and she was like an atrium.

The black whip floated again, like a big python crawling forward, but the speed was as fast as lightning, and the momentum was amazing.

Although the gray-clothed boy is a monster, he is not a belligerent, and he can barely grasp some scratching thorns and some useless candle-lighting techniques.

In the face of such a heavy blow, there is nothing to be done.

His face was full of grievances, and he slowly closed his eyes.

But until this is the case, he still never thought about blaming anyone, he just felt that one day the abbot came back, would he blame himself if he couldn't see him?

There was a thunderclap from inside the temple, followed by the rumbling of the walls cracking.

The gray-clad boy was completely fine, and he opened his eyes in a panic.

The good young man dressed in white who gave him dry cakes poured out of the house with half of his body, and the flesh and blood on his chest were blurred.

Jiang Huai's chest was full of blood, and he struggled to get up and lean against the moss-covered wall, spurting out mouthfuls of blood and coughing.

The left hand was even softer and boneless, hanging down on the ground.

In an instant, the white clothes turned into bloody clothes.

But the young man was still smiling, and he didn't regret it.

He hadn't seen many people, he hadn't read much, and he didn't have the heart of an immortal Buddha, but... I just feel that if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have the face to see Mr.

If such a good-natured child is going to suffer a tragic death, just because he was born a demon?

It's a bit unreasonable.

Ding Qiu stood up suddenly, and a handprint was pinched out of the door frame.

A mighty true qi like the tide of a great river instantly poured in from above, spreading a rolling torrent in the house, and the woman in black instantly turned to ashes.

Ding Qiu was annoyed, but he still didn't make a move, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Huai, do you want me to make a move." ”

The young man's face remained unchanged, he just shook his head, coughed twice, and said intermittently: "No need, this matter is my wishful thinking, just die, there are not many things that make me nostalgic, but if I don't die today, I will also understand a truth in the future, sometimes there is not much truth, whether it is big enough, it is useless, first of all, people must have the qualification to listen." ”

The gray-clothed boy could no longer hold back his tears, and ran to the young man, crying and crying.

Jiang Huai raised his hand in pain, but put it down again, the blood stain on his hand, such a clean child, couldn't bear it.

But the gray-clothed child, covered in sludge, has no clean appearance.

Jiang Huai comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's good when it's dawn." ”

After hearing this, the child thundered even more, and his snot and tears were mixed together.

Ding Qiu unloaded his momentum, raised his head and poured a large sip of wine, feeling a little helpless.

Originally, I just wanted to test Puyu's heart, but I forgot that the boy is now like a blank piece of paper.

If you let a certain attitude preconceive, it's really self-defeating.

Ding Qiu pursed his lips, "How the hell is this mother's explanation to the surnamed Kong." ”

Jiang Huai took out a piece of white rice paper, looked ahead, took a long time, held back a breath of blood gushing, and said with a smile: "I can only write one word, and I don't know if I can stop you, but as long as you make another move, I will definitely have no reservations." ”

The woman's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of disdain, and she glanced towards the door.

The momentum of the man with the sword on his back just now was so great that the woman didn't move for a long time.

Ding Qiu waved his hand and simply went out.

But at this time, the man who walked into the rain did not get wet with the rain all over his body, and the water droplets broke into powder on the top of the man's head and disappeared directly.

The woman pondered for a while, and had already seen the Tao in this, as long as she didn't make a move on that young man, she should be fine.

She swung her long whip again, like a long snake, and instead of striking, she rolled directly towards the gray-clothed child.

But before the whip arrived, a piece of paper that had just written the word "break" floated around.

Jiang Huai directly threw Xiao Tong aside.

Bursts of air suddenly set off in the temple, surging back and forth, rolling in all directions.

The woman in black was instantly repulsed several feet, stepped on her toes, and staggered a few steps before stopping her figure.

She was stunned and muttered, "How is it possible, it's just a second realm, I have already entered the four realms of qi cultivation, and it can actually make me regress." ”

The next moment, the boy had slowly gotten up, and a piece of rice paper appeared in his hand again, not white but cyan.

He coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said word by word: "I know I can't beat you, but this rice paper will definitely hurt you a little." ”

The woman in black narrowed her eyes and sneered, "I've never seen anyone write a cyan talisman in the Second Realm, are you provoking me?"

Jiang Huai stared at the woman directly, "Don't you think you'll back down." ”

The woman in black instantly looked like frost, and said in a deep voice, "That person just now is your elder?"

The boy shook his head.

"Is it your master?"

The boy still shook his head.

The woman in black surged with blood, and said with a hideous face: "Then you are looking for death!"

But just as the woman was about to step forward, a voice came from outside the house, "Mu Peiping, it's almost okay, you are really not ashamed to be forced to look like this by a junior." ”

Qi Yuansi, who was leaning against the door like a chicken in soup, rubbed his cheeks, his face was full of disdain, looking at the woman's angry eyes, with a wave of his hand, a simple bronze mirror instantly hung above his head, and there were wisps of golden breath rising and falling back and forth in it.

Qi Yuansi smiled: "What, do you want to find me to spread your anger, or do you Qingyun Sect want to come to our Yunlang Academy for trouble." ”

The woman in black had a gloomy face, and her momentum was even more tense, and she sneered: "Qi Yuansi, who are you wearing a high hat for, can you bear the consequences?"

From outside the door, a young county official wearing an official uniform walked in, although he was wearing a paper umbrella, there were some water stains on his body.

He hurriedly took out three large tickets from his arms, "Fairy Mu, forget about this matter, but I will pay the money, you see if it will work." ”

Not long after the young county official went to the countryside, his name was Li Yuanmo, a distant relative of a certain high-ranking official, who was cowardly by nature and extremely timid.

Whether it is this man in Tsing Yi or this immortal figure of the Qingyun Sect, he can't afford to offend.

It's best to rest on the ground.

Mu Peiping gently picked up the three-zhang bill, smiled and walked out of the door, only paused for a moment in front of the man, "Qi Yuansi, this matter is not over!"

But the woman in black opened the paper umbrella and just took a step out, and instantly fell to the ground, covered in sewage, and ate a mouthful of yellow mud.

She raised her head and stared at the sword-backed man who was drinking with his head up outside the door, snorted coldly, got up and stomped away.

The clouds were raining heavily, and the woman was full of anger.

It's all full of meaning.
