Chapter 17 Ideals and Morality
The tanuki fairy was full of frustration in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the hexagram that shook the world and cried ghosts and gods thousands of years ago.
"Is it true, as the master said, that I will never be a successful businessman in my life?"
Seeing that Ah Li was about to go away, the tanuki fairy couldn't sit still, and gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart:
"I still don't believe it, can't I really sell a single thing? As a demon cultivator with ideals and morality, who pursues the world's number one businessman, how can I give up lightly! The most precious quality of a businessman is perseverance!"
The tanuki fairy had made up his mind, and immediately packed up the cloth bag on the ground and quickly caught up with Ah Li.
Ah Li knew that the strength of the tanuki immortal was far above his own, so even after walking away, he didn't dare to run away quickly, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings among the tanuki immortals, after all, it was not a wise move to tear his face with the demon cultivator of this realm.
Sure enough, after the tanuki Daxian caught up with Ah Li, he did not use strong means, but accompanied Ah Li while walking and chatting: "Ahem, Xiaoyou walk slowly, it just so happens that my patrol mission tonight has also been completed, why don't we go together, and there will be a response along the way." ”
Ah Wei thought, "With your cultivation, do you still need me to take care of it?"
But he didn't say anything about it, but just walked forward, intending to start from this moment on, and never respond to anything about this big fool.
The tanuki Daxian chattered endlessly:
"It's the first time for Xiaoyou to come to Qingzhoufang, right? Qingzhoufang is the best market in this radius, with plenty of goods and a wide variety.
Do you have any elixirs, magic weapons, training materials, or other special materials that you want to buy? or souvenirs, souvenirs or souvenirs for your family elders or friends?
There are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing that this great immortal can't get, so why don't you think about it again?"
"If you don't speak, does that mean you're not interested? Two people walk together, and I'm talking alone, it's boring, and it's rude to say it, Xiaoyou, you're so squeaky!"
"Squeak--" Ah Li stopped, glared at the tanuki Daisen, let out a squeak, and continued to walk forward.
The tanuki Daxian blinked his little eyes a few times, and Ah Li really "squeaked", which made him embarrassed.
But as a demon businessman with ideals and morals, what are these setbacks? The tanuki Daxian recovered his composure as quickly as possible, continued to keep up with Ah Li's pace, and said with a long sigh:
"Alas, Xiaoyou, you don't know that the world is difficult, and I have no choice but to work part-time!
The labor intensity is high, overtime is not guaranteed, a night shift is arranged from time to time, and the monthly salary is very low.
I haven't opened for several months, and my family is almost out of rice, so Xiaoyou should pity me and buy something from me, just do good deeds and accumulate virtue. ”
Ah Li quickened his pace, he really didn't want to entangle with the tanuki Daxian.
The tanuki fairy also quickened his pace, rushed directly to the front to intercept Ah Li, gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that if you don't take out a real baby, Xiaoyou won't be tempted!"
After speaking, the tanuki Daxian stretched out a chubby finger and pointed at the emerald green leaves on his head, and in an instant, the whole person disappeared out of thin air in the moonlight.
Ah Li was shocked, what kind of treasure is this, it has such a strong stealth effect, this is definitely an escape weapon. If you have this magic weapon by your side along the way, how can you run into walls everywhere and be so embarrassed.
"Huh~~", the tanuki Daxian appeared in the same place again, seeing Ah Li's stunned appearance, there was finally a product that could make the guests completely moved.
The tanuki fairy laughed proudly: "This magic weapon is amazing!
Ah Li only felt his heart beat faster, and asked in a trembling voice, "What is the name of this magic weapon?"
The tanuki fairy took off the emerald green leaf on the top of his head and held it in the palm of his hand to show Ah Li, looking reluctant:
"This magic weapon is called 'One Leaf Barrier', which is a treasure that has been passed down by my tanuki family for thousands of years, and has helped my family in times of crisis several times, so that the eighteenth generation of my tanuki family can be continued.
If it weren't for the compulsion of life, how could I give up such a baby?
When I think of my elderly mother, my frail wife, and my eight children who are waiting to be fed, I feel ashamed to be a son, a husband, and a father.
Xiaoyou, you are still young and have not experienced this. You don't understand the pain in the heart of a depressed middle-aged man, that's why you hate me and run away from me.
But do you know how painful my heart is when I sell you something with a shy face, and how much courage do I need to keep up with you?
If it weren't for the persistence in my heart, if it wasn't for the responsibility on my shoulders!
On such a cold autumn night, don't I want to accompany my wife, tease my grandchildren, and take care of my days on the hot kang at home?"
When the tanuki fairy talked about the emotion, he was already in tears, and continued almost in a shouting voice:
"When a person can lay down his dignity and do something he thinks is worthwhile for the happiness of his family, his heart is bright!
He doesn't care about other people's cold and disgusted eyes, doesn't care about other people's sneering words, and doesn't care about other people's hidden malicious speculation.
He has transcended his shackles and surpassed himself!
Isn't this kind of innocent heart of pursuing ideals, pursuing success, and paying no attention to it worthy of respect? Isn't it worth supporting?
Why can't you give him a smile, why can't you give him a little applause, why can't you give him some encouragement!!"
Tanuki Daxian clenched his fists, his eyes widened, tears streaming down his face, and he glared at Ah Li angrily, as if he wanted an answer.
Ah Li was moved by the civet cat's sincere speech, and was shocked by his powerful momentum, he couldn't help but stand up, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the two little paws on his front legs slapped a few times.
The tanuki fairy was very satisfied with Ah Li's feedback and continued:
"Then why can't you buy a magic weapon from him? and it's a magic weapon with good quality and absolute value!"
As soon as this sentence came out, it completely destroyed the artistic conception just now, Ah Li also bent down, and thought silently in his heart, so dangerous!
In fact, the beginning of the Tanuki Daxian has deeply touched Ah Li's heart, reminding her of the hardships and perseverance of her life, it turns out that even high-level demon cultivators have had such a difficult time, and Ah Li is full of sympathy.
When the tanuki Daxian's emotions reached a climax, shouting and asking Ah Li for 'a smile, a little applause, and some encouragement', Ah Li's tears were almost about to fall, so he had to open his mouth and promise that the tanuki Daxian would buy him a magic weapon.
As a result, the last sentence took a sharp turn, wasting the previous big paragraph of rhetoric, it turned out that the ultimate goal of the tanuki Daxian was to sell his magic weapon.
Ah Li blinked hard, and forced back the tears that were already rolling in his eyes.
Although she still didn't want to buy the magic weapon of the tanuki fairy at the moment, she decided to comfort the tanuki fairy's fragile heart.
Ah Li just wanted to speak, but Tianhuo splashed another basin of cold water at this time:
"Ah Li, you have been deceived by him, most of what he said is false, with his current cultivation level not lower than the Jindan stage, how can he be over a thousand years old, right? How can there be an elderly mother and a child waiting to be fed, you are so easy to be fooled. ”
Ah Li thought about it seriously and immediately understood the meaning of Tianhuo.
The tanuki immortal is at least a Jindan period of cultivation, if he still has an old mother, then he must be at least more than a thousand years old, the big demon who can live for so long, how can he not be called an old mother, right?
Besides, if there were a double golden pill period monk in the Tanuki Sect, the Immortal Cultivation Family should have been established a long time ago, and wherever it occupies a sphere of influence within a radius of thousands of miles, no one will dare to come out to stop it, how can it be reduced to the point of selling counterfeit and shoddy magic weapons?
Besides, the child's affairs are even more unreliable, and the eighteenth generation of single transmission was said earlier, why are there eight children waiting to be fed in the back?
Besides, as the level of the realm increases, it becomes more and more difficult for monks to inherit their own bloodline.
This is the effect of the power of the Heavenly Dao in the underworld, curbing the bloodline inheritance of high-level monks, avoiding the emergence of a large number of high-bloodline monks, and reducing the destruction and acquisition of cultivation resources by high-level monks, so as to ensure the overall balance of the big world.
The difficulty of finding immortals is the biggest social problem in the entire cultivation world, and the number of senior female monks is really disproportionate compared to the number of senior male monks.
And the high-ranking male friars simply cannot continue the bloodline through mortals. Because the mortal mother cannot withstand the various spiritual and demonic powers naturally generated when the child is conceived, and cannot provide enough nutrients for the child, either the mother dies, or the child stops developing.
Generally, immortals who are more than two great realms apart basically have no hope of giving birth to the next generation of monks, for the same reason.
Even if the realm of immortals is similar and the two are happy, they will miss many opportunities due to exercises, retreats, outlook on life, probability, etc., and they will rarely be able to give birth to the second generation of cultivators.
Therefore, many of the children and grandchildren of high-ranking monks were left behind when they were young, and the tanuki Daxian said that there were eight children who were waiting to be fed, which was purely nonsense.
As for the myths and stories of the world, it may be true that those fairies went down to earth to marry mortals, but the things of 'giving birth to children' are mostly made up by the world and cannot stand scrutiny. (See the ancient text record of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl)
Ah Li was a little angry after being deceived, and asked hatefully: "Daxian, don't talk so much nonsense, just say how much are you going to sell this 'one leaf obscure'?"
The tanuki immortal looked at the Qiankun bag under Ah Li's neck and said, "Such a superb spiritual weapon is not something that can be exchanged for two magic weapons and a few bottles of pills. At least twenty Tsukidans are needed, not one!"
Twenty Tsukidan, Ali gasped and said, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." Forget it, I'd better hurry up. ”
"Don't don't, little friend stays" The tanuki fairy hurriedly stopped Ah Li and said: "It's better like this, you open the Qiankun bag and let this great immortal see if there is anything equivalent to my magic weapon, we can exchange it." ”
How could Ah Li let the tanuki immortal look at his Qiankun bag, but he really wanted this magic weapon, and his heart was entangled.
At this time, Tianhuo said lightly: "Ah Li, you were too excited just now to see clearly." This leaf can indeed make people invisible, but after a person becomes invisible, the leaf itself does not disappear.
You want to suddenly use the leaf magic weapon to become invisible if you are against someone or when you are being hunted down. The man is gone, but there is a green leaf floating in the air abruptly, and he can still run around, do you think the enemy is a fool?"
Ah Li asked with a shocked face: "Tianhuo, is what you said true?"
Tianhuo said, "If you don't believe it, let him demonstrate it again." ”
Ah Li said to the tanuki immortal: "Tanuki immortal, I didn't see it clearly just now, can you show me the power of the magic weapon again?"
Tanuki Daxian smiled and said: "No problem, you don't have to worry about the stealth effect of this magic weapon, it is 100% stealthy, and after stealth, the body is in other spaces, and the enemy can't attack you at all." With this skill alone, this treasure can be classified as the best defensive spiritual weapon. ”
The tanuki fairy confidently pointed at the leaves again, and sure enough, the tanuki daxian disappeared out of thin air in an instant, but a hanging leaf was left in the air.
Ah Li looked up at the leaves, and scratched them under and around the leaves with his paws, but he really didn't touch the body of the tanuki Daxian.
The voice of the tanuki immortal came from the leaves: "Little friend, look, this great immortal didn't deceive you, this magic weapon is definitely worth having." ”
Ah Li finally determined that the function of this magic weapon was purely chicken ribs, and it was clearly another scam of the tanuki Daxian.
Ah Li decisively gave up the idea of buying this treasure, turned around and ran, she was really afraid that the tanuki Daxian would continue to entangle.
Ah Li shouted as he ran: "Tanuki Daxian, you should keep this magic weapon for yourself! I'll go first!"
A leaf in the air, strangely floating four feet above the ground, flew fast close to the ground, and made a voice: "Eh, little friend, wait! What are you running? The price is not suitable, we can discuss again, if you don't buy such a good baby, you will regret it!"
The strange leaves hanging in the air chased out nearly twenty zhang, and turned into a tanuki fairy again.
The tanuki fairy looked at Ah Li's back and shouted: "Little friend, why did you run away?
You have a wound on your body, and you should not run. Especially where you were bitten by a green wolf on your left shoulder, it will soon have a toxic attack?
The wolf venom in Ben Wolf Yuan is very powerful, and if you don't rescue it in time, you will die, and I still have a special medicine for treating wolf venom here, do you want it, little friend?"
Ah Li turned a deaf ear and quickly ran away, and almost fell for the civet cat fairy several times today, and the biggest gain is to understand that "staying away from this big flicker is the king".
The tanuki fairy touched the emerald green leaf on his head and sighed: "Old man, it seems that you are becoming more and more worthless, and no one wants to send you out, it seems that you have to accompany me for a while." ”
In fact, the tanuki Daxian's "one-leaf blind" spiritual weapon is very powerful, but Tianhuo and Ah Li were preconceived and did not find his wonderful use.
If it is classified according to the monk's magic weapon: magic weapon, spiritual weapon, innate spiritual weapon, immortal weapon, artifact, and holy weapon.
"One Leaf Blind" belongs to the best spiritual weapon that has already given birth to a trace of self-awareness, and there is hope for promotion to the innate spiritual weapon over time.
"One leaf obstruction" is really the magic weapon inherited by the tanuki Daxian family, and the tanuki Daxian has worn it since he was a child, and he gets along day and night, and loves it very much.
After the "One Leaf Blind" gave birth to a trace of self-awareness, the tanuki Daxian was even more surprised, and treated him completely like a brother, and his feelings were very good.
On weekdays, "One Leaf Blind" always complains that the tanuki fairy realm is too low, delaying his evolution, but because he has not found a more suitable owner, the brothers have been together for hundreds of years.
Today, Ah Li appeared, and "a leaf obscure" felt a glimmer of opportunity for himself, although he was reluctant to leave the tanuki Daxian, but he still implored the tanuki Daxian to find a way to exchange himself for Ah Li.
As a result, the tanuki Daxian's overly exaggerated acting skills directly scared Ah Li away, although "One Leaf Blind" felt pity, but he couldn't bear to blame the tanuki Daxian, but its disappointed mood was that the tanuki Daxian could also feel it.
The tanuki Daxian appeased the "One Leaf Blind Eye" for a long time, and finally promised to take the "One Leaf Blind Eye" to find Ah Li, and the "One Leaf Blind Eye" was quiet.
The tanuki fairy looked at the direction of Ah Li's departure and muttered to himself:
"Today's young people really don't care about their bodies, and they have to hurry when they are injured like this, is the world outside so bad, and her life is more miserable than mine?
But this Ah Li is not small, first the king of the green wolf secretly let her go, and he is the person I want to protect in my destiny, and even "a leaf obstacle" has to defect to her, interesting.
However, there are really a lot of treasures on them, and in addition to Tsukidan, there are at least two elixirs.
They are so young and have no experience, and it would be a pity if they were taken away by someone who took them by skill.
No, I have to follow and see, as the No. 1 businessman in the demon world, with ideals and morals, honest and trustworthy, even if he just buys an invitation from me, the little fox is eligible to enjoy my full range of high-quality services!"
