Seeing the fierce stool demon jumping and staggering, Xingyan was not willing to sit still, and immediately dodged to the side.

He is now very agile, and he can still jump up and down in this flower hall when the stool demon pounces, dodging left and right. And his consciousness has now become very sensitive, and when he dodges and runs, it is like the long eyes on the soles of his feet, which happen to be able to avoid the many wounds lying on the ground, and do not bring any more pain to these unfortunate people. Now, in Qinghe Lao Dao's eyes, which were already a little blurry, he could only see a figure flashing rapidly in front of him.

It's just that, although Xingyan ran away quickly, for the time being, the manpower was not as good as the demon power, even at his speed, he was caught up by the stool demon in just a moment. Suddenly, everyone who fell to the ground only heard a "tom" sound, and Xingyan was hit by the stool demon on the waist - although he has been running, there is a certain speed buffer, but this waist is the weakness of the human body, and it is really uncomfortable to be hit by the iron elm pimple, and he immediately grinned in pain with Xingyan, stumbled under his feet, and was knocked into a red lacquered pillar next to him, "bang" and hit it, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Now Xingyan only felt that his waist was as if he had just been burned by a fire, and it was hot and painful, and there was only pain left in his body, and he couldn't lift half of his strength. Now he couldn't even stand up, and he wanted to dodge left and right again.

"I only hope that this stool demon can have some spiritual surname, and when he sees that I am injured, he will stop and let me live......"

Now he can only pray in his heart.

Now Xingyan can only hope that the monster will not be killed and let go of himself, according to some Zhiwei novels, it seems that this possibility is quite large.

It's a pity that the energetic stool demon doesn't know what to forgive and forgive, and the elm head really only knows how to keep attacking - after a while, the young man leaning on the foot of the red lacquer pillar helplessly saw that the stool demon who had just succeeded in attacking stopped after moving backwards with his feet staggered backwards for a distance, and then bowed, jumped suddenly, and pounced on this side in the desperate gaze of Xingyan!

"Alas, this monster is really going to be killed......"

Xingyan now only feels that all thoughts are lost. That strange thing didn't allow him to think about it too much, and in an instant, it was only one step away from him! Seeing that the catastrophe was coming, Xingyan was powerless now......

“......”

Just when Xingyan thought that he was in danger, his body, which was in pain, unconsciously had a familiar change. When he relaxed his mind and waited for the evil demon to attack, the "flowing water" in his body, which had only appeared twice, quietly appeared like a fog in the quiet night at such an urgent juncture......

Therefore, if anyone at this time has excellent eyesight and is good enough to discern the changes between lightning and fire, he will see a strange picture suddenly appear in front of him:

First, I saw that the stool demon crashed into the boy very quickly, but the moment it touched the boy's body, it suddenly involuntarily vibrated according to a certain frequency, and from fast to slow, from slow to stop...... In the blink of an eye, the fierce stool demon had stopped in front of the young man.

In fact, no one could see the change, so it all happened in a very small moment. Qinghe Lao Dao, who was trying to open his eyes and watched intently how the stool demon attacked the young man, could only see the menacing stool demon just now, running towards the young man like thunder, but suddenly stopped when he touched Xingyan's body-

Seeing this scene at that time, Lao Dao's instinctive reaction was to sigh:

"Alas, I can't imagine that this monster's control over its strength has reached such a point where it can be sent and received so freely, and it is not wrong to say that I have been defeated by its hands today!"

Feeling this, Lao Dao seemed to think of something again, and immediately became angry:

"Ahem!This demon is also hateful!Why did you just send it when you hit me just now?!ouch~"

Lao Dao was stupid, but he couldn't help but affect the wound on his chest.

And the awakening words who were closing their eyes and waiting for death, although they felt that the flowing water in their bodies had reappeared, they still had no time to react - the words could be described calmly, but in fact, from the abnormality of the body to the monster hitting the body, it was just a blink of an eye. And he had already prepared his mind, and when he felt that a foreign object touched him, he immediately called out "wow"!

"It hurts,"

Before the word "ah" came out, Xingyan suddenly felt that something was wrong—why didn't he feel any pain at all?

Sensing that something was wrong, Xingyan quickly opened his eyes to take a look, but found that the stool demon who was originally menacing was now motionless next to him, like a coquettish puppy, tired of him.

"Strange! Could it be that this stool demon once knew me, and he showed mercy?"

Looking at the strange situation in front of him, he was puzzled. But no matter what, this catastrophe that fell from the sky was inexplicably eliminated at the end of the day.

"Huh, why is it again?"

After thinking about it for a while, Xingyan suddenly realized that there was a round "flowing water" in his body. Xingyan strangely felt that the frequency of this flowing water rippling in his body was getting faster and faster, and from the beginning of the trickle, it was slowly growing bit by bit.

Just when he was surprised that this was the third "water flow", he saw the stool demon next to him in front of him, and strange changes were slowly taking place:

The bright red color of its original reddened stool was slowly fading, and gradually returning to a pale color, a color different from the crystalline and soft whiteness of its beginning, the elm stool demon was now turning pale and pale, as if it were gloomy with a dead air.

And this inexplicable "flowing water" in his body, after the last appearance of Horseshoe Mountain and Poyang Lake, Xingyan has liked this feeling of running and quiet, overflowing and harmonious. It's a pity that as the last wisp of red silk on the stool demon in front of him fades away, the wonderful "flowing water" in the body of Xingyan is like a spring returning to the mountain stream, gradually disappearing without a trace, no matter how unwilling the owner is, it is difficult to grasp the slightest trace of it.

The flowing water receded, and Xingyan was worrying about himself in his heart, but he suddenly found that the miserable white elm stool in front of him was still rubbing himself. Looking at this bleak color, Xingyan immediately got goosebumps all over his body, and almost instinctively swung a punch to knock it away.

"Wow"

Unexpectedly, when he punched down, this elm stool demon, which was originally as hard as iron and extremely tough, was actually knocked away by his casual punch and slammed into the wall next to him; In the end, as the cracks gradually increased and increased, this elm stool demon, which was still rampage and infinitely powerful just now, suddenly made a "bang", and shattered into countless pieces of wood in front of Xingyan's eyes, scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this strange situation, everyone else in the flower hall stopped moaning, and Deng Deng looked at the young man blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

It's just that although the submission process of this stool demon is a bit inexplicable, no matter what, the problem is finally solved;

And the Zhu Yuanwai fell all the way, although he suffered a lot of pain, but seeing that the big trouble in the house was finally solved, it was like opening the blue sky and seeing the moon, and suddenly thank God, and the two of them were extremely enthusiastic about the old way.

It's just that Rao is extremely diligent, Qinghe Lao Dao has just eaten this Hongmen banquet, and now he is so embarrassed, his chest is extremely painful, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed and angry. Seeing that the crisis had passed, Qinghe settled his mind and began to settle accounts after the autumn, and blamed Zhu Yuanwai for not telling him the truth earlier. I just heard the old Taoist babble and said:

"Zhu donor, if Poor Dao knew that you were going to invite me to subdue the wooden bench monster, then I would definitely bring a suitable magic weapon, such as a mountain splitting knife, a demon slaying axe or something—then why should such mustard moss little demons be bothered? I would have chopped into firewood a long time ago!"

After blowing nonsense for a while, Lao Dao began to pretend again, and said angrily:

"Ahem, the young man's surname is in a hurry~ Who told you to break the stool demon so quickly? Otherwise, it would be good to wait for the poor road to take advantage of this gap and surrender it as a follower-hoho, let it follow it alone when you go out in the future, and sit on it to rest when you are tired, how convenient!"

Seeing Lao Dao's bluff, Xingyan was very amused in his heart, but as before, he did not show any strange appearance on the surface; and the Zhu Yuanwai was now sincerely afraid, and he heard Lao Dao's blame, and knew that his actions were not very authentic, so he couldn't help but apologize; and then he was very wise to present a plate of gold and silver, showing his gratitude.

And the old man of Qinghe, although he was really a little resentful, but when he saw the gold and silver, he immediately shut up. Speaking of which, what he did just now is exactly what he wanted. Seeing that the master had already offered the gold and silver, he no longer made soap, and honestly and unceremoniously took the Huang Jin money bag that was tied up by the Zhu Yuanwai himself, Lao Dao changed his solemn face, and admonished the Zhu Yuan Wai Dao seriously:

"I wish the donor, the poor Dao began to say that 'the demon is born from the heart', but he is still not wrong; if the heart is disturbed, the spirit will be scattered, and if the spirit is scattered, the demon will take advantage of it; if the heart is fixed, the god will be complete, and the spirit of the god will not be able to do it. The poor way is still the same sentence, 'If the mind is not right, there will be demons'. I have heard of this, and I wish the boss to do rice business in the future, I am afraid that he will have to be more responsible!"

Speaking of this, he said to the embarrassed wisher:

"In the future, when I wish the donor to educate my son, I should also pay attention to the ways and means!"

Seeing this master and apprentice with his own eyes, if he has the ability to subdue the monster and beat the difficult monster to pieces, so now the old words are like the sound of the fairy for the Zhu Yuan, how dare not listen.

After suffering hardship, now Zhu Yuanwai recalls his unscrupulous actions in the previous big bucket and small bucket, and can't help but sweat coldly. This thrilling is more useful than any preaching, and this wishing the staff has since changed their past mistakes and began to accumulate virtue and do good. Since then, Zhu's rice shop will regularly open porridge sheds several times a season to help the poor people in urban and rural areas. And his actions have won the name of a "good man" for himself, and the rice business is more prosperous than before. After that, not only the poor people, but even the local high-ranking gentry, also admired him, and took care of his business. I don't know if it's really a good retribution, the Zhu Wencai Zhu Gongzi who was often called the head of the elm by the Zhu Yuan, but later he was really successful in reading and became a well-known Confucian in the Poyang area. And the young man said that this time out of this coolie, but not in vain - since then, Lao Zhangtou came to this Zhu's rice shop to buy rice, although the boss Zhu did not say it, but secretly took care of the counter guys, and he would give a few more points every time.

It may be that in these days before the stool demon was subdued, the whole house was disturbed by the elm stool demon, and the whole family was worried about it. Now that the great trouble in his heart has been removed by the master and apprentice, isn't the celebratory of the head of the family ecstatic?

Who knew that these young and old, after all the fright, had become frightened birds at this moment, and they all felt that this house was a place of right and wrong, and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time. As soon as he heard the word "banquet", Qinghe Lao Dao insisted on reluctantly, for fear that something strange would come out of it. Therefore, the old man and the young man spoke in unison and resolutely said goodbye and left. Zhu Yuanwai couldn't keep it in every possible way, so he had to give up, and took the whole family to send the old and young to the gate diligently.

When the two of them returned to the street, they saw the blue sky again, and they immediately felt like they were reincarnated. Now the old road and the young man, I feel that the noisy citizens coming and going on the street in front of me are extraordinarily kind and lovely today!

When he turned a street corner, Xingyan saw that the old Dao Qinghe, who had been walking as usual, suddenly leaned softly against the earthen wall next to him, and his originally solemn and steady face suddenly grinned. I only heard the old Taoist monster shouting:

"Oh yes, it hurts me! Wake up, you can see for me, if my ribs are broken four or five!"

"Uh...... It turns out that you've been sore just now! Look at you like that, like you're nothing. I said, I've been hit by the stool demon and hurt to death, old man, your bones-"

Before the young man finished his teasing words, he was intercepted by Lao Dao:

"Ahem, you stinky boy! At this time, you still have the heart to fight with me-ouch!

"Well, let me see!"

Xingyan said this, but he stood and didn't move, just took his eyes and glanced at the old Taoist body casually, and said:

"Hmm! I took a look, and your ribs are not broken. ”

"Ah, really? I can't see that you stinky boy has a lot of weird doorways, so you can see it at a glance. ”

The old man is serious and praises the young man's good ability.

“...... If you really have broken ribs, can you still walk here calmly? If you want me to help you or carry you back, you can say it clearly!"

"Ahem, sure enough, the old way is not wrong, you are really empathetic - I can't move a step now, and I'm about to bother you to ......"

"Gotta do it, don't you just let me memorize it! Why do you say it so ugly, it's true!"

Fighting and fighting, as he spoke, he helped Lao Dao to his back and staggered towards the good fate with him on his back. As he walked, he said:

"I said, old man, you have to hold on to Luo! With your bones, you can't afford to fall again-huh?

"Boy, you don't know, I have more important things to do with my other hand!"

"What's the matter?"

"Hold on to the money bag given by the celebrants!"

“...... Old way, you're really a money fan. Don't say I didn't warn you, if you can't grasp it firmly and fall down again, you'll really have to break a few ribs!"

"Don't be afraid! Ribs can be broken, and money bags can't be lost!"

The tone was categorical, and it could be seen that this veteran of the Shangqing Palace had strong beliefs.

Walking along the old road for a while, Xingyan felt that there was still a faint pain in his waist, and he couldn't help but think of the thrilling scene in the Zhu Mansion half a day ago, and after a while, he couldn't help but break the silence again:

"I'm old-fashioned, that stool just now...... Son-you say, how can there really be monsters in this world?"

It can be seen that Xingyan still has some lingering palpitations.

"Uh~this、"

This time, Lao Dao did not ridicule Xingyan for being timid, but he said with Xingyan seriously:

"Wake up, in fact, there are many ancient monsters in this world, but we haven't seen them - even if we haven't seen them with our own eyes, we can't easily deny the existence of those absurdities. ”

"For example, the local autumn insects that only live for one summer obviously don't know that there is also winter snow in this world. If the supreme power creates a snowflake for it to see, it will find it very strange. As the saying goes, 'there must be nothing, and there is anything that may be', but in fact, this 'unreasonableness' is just that we mortals don't know it. If there is such a thing in the world, there must be such a reason, and if you do not know it, you often do not know the other reason. It is these unknown things that we cultivators diligently pursue, or the 'Heavenly Dao'. And those seemingly magical Taoist techniques are often the last stream. ”

Seeing that Xingyan didn't say a word, he could listen attentively, and the old Taoist conversation became more interesting, and then said:

"Wake up, take the wooden bench just now to become a demon, in fact, it is not out of righteousness - everything is long, tired of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and it may be a demon for a long time. Or the things in the house, if you have more spirit, you can also be a demon. This principle is easy to understand, and it is not strange. The elm stool in the house should belong to the latter. ”

Lao Dao's words are very different from the teachings of Ji Lao's pedant, Ji Jia's private school, but it sounds reasonable, and he listens to Xingyan as if he is fascinated.

Recalling the old words with relish, Xingyan always felt a little weird, but he couldn't remember what was wrong for a while, so he had to keep his head down and continue to move forward. After a while, he suddenly shouted:

"Old way!"

This cold voice startled the old Dao Qinghe, who was leisurely on the back of the young man.

"What's the matter?"

Taken aback, the old man asked dissatisfiedly.

"I said Qinghe, Dao, and Chang, are you really just an errand boy sent by Shangqing Palace?"

Xingyan's tone didn't seem to be joking, almost word by word, and he said it very seriously.

"Uh...... Hmph!"

"How many times do you want me to say this? I'm a master of the Shangqing Palace who came to enter the world to cultivate. You see how skilled I am at helping people to take hexagrams, asking for water and cleaning houses, and so on!

Lao Dao seemed to have been greatly wronged, and he was blowing his beard and glaring.

"Really?"

The young man asked rhetorically, still full of suspicion.

"That's it! I am a Tong Suo without deception, and I have one thing to say!"

The old truth is straightforward, and when he says this, his face is not red and his heart is not beating.

"Humph!"

When he saw the old Taoist god chattering, he was very dissatisfied and no longer paid attention to him.

The old and the young were silent, and they hurried away, and after turning two more streets, they came to the door of the old road. When he arrived at his own land, Qinghe Lao Dao came down clumsily from his back and let out a long breath:

"Whew~ I'm finally back again! In the future, I will not do this shocking and frightening thing!"

"Well, at least for a year...... Half a year, okay! Just half a month! I have to take a good rest in this half a month. Ho~"

At this time, Lao Dao's eyes were burning and he was staring at the money bag. Obviously, it was the golden yellow brocade purse that made him recuperate and change his time to recuperate.

"Oh, this half is for you!"

It's time to share the spoils again, and Lao Dao is generous this time.

"Huh, didn't you say yes?"

It is obvious that the young man has been used to being exploited by the old way. But the old way is justified:

"Scared! I'm also a sensible person. I'm going to perform in front of people, and that's a technical job, so of course I'm going to have to take the lion's head—— and this time too...... Uh, I was negligent, it seems that it was you who let the two of us escape this time!"

But at this time, Xingyan has forgotten to take a stubble. He looked at the first big income in his life, and couldn't help but care about his eyes!

When he saw Qian Liang's eyes open, after a while, he didn't know what he seemed to think of, and the brilliance in the young man's eyes suddenly dimmed;

"I said old man Qinghe, don't look for me next time there is such a thing. Who knew that the errand work of these two bastards with little money was even in danger of their lives!"

It seems that Xingyan is still far from the realm of the old way of asking for money.

"Ahem...... I said, you are still a young man, and you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, so why is it not as good as me, a bad old man?"

This is Lao Dao casting a spell that is not his own door - the Radical Method. But he heard the young man retort:

"Yes, yes, I'm cowardly, not as brave as you. Anyway, I'm not going to do it anymore. I still have to keep this surname for my father and mother. ”

"Uh...... Since you said so, I won't be reluctant. However, Lao Tao has always not only said one thing, but also a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Today, I say that this matter of wishing the house is to say that you are a life-saving grace to my old way——"

Speaking of this, Lao Dao stopped, muttered a few words there, and didn't know what to say, but it seemed to be a great determination, and the look on his face was solemn and solemn, looking at the posture, it seemed that Lao Dao, who had always been giggling, had gone through a painful struggle in his heart, and then finally made a fateful decision. But Awakening now scoffs at his pretentiousness:

"Hey, I said the old way, don't come to this set again! It's exactly 'once a sugar seller gentleman, from now on I don't believe in sweetness', today you are a tongue lotus, boy, I just don't believe it!"

It's just that in the face of the teenager's ridicule, Lao Dao's reaction this time was a little abnormal. Not only did he ignore the words, but he also looked quietly at the southern sky for a while. was silent for a long time, and then the old Dao Qinghe sighed in the bleak autumn wind:

"O this, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I want something...... This time, if you save me, Lao Dao will make an exception this time and pass on your own town's religious treasures——"

"Huh?!"

The young man who was turning his heart into iron suddenly heard the old Taoist say that he wanted to give him the treasure book of the Shangqing Palace-Xingyan This heart, he suddenly mentioned his throat and eyes, and pricked up his ears to listen to the following. I only heard the old Qinghe of the Shangqing Palace say:

"Today, I will say that I am Qinghe, and I will pass on Zhang Xingyan's treasure book of Shangqing Palace-'Shangqing Sutra'!"

When the old man's sonorous words echoed, a white cloud flew by, suddenly obscuring half of the sun. So the splendid world in front of him seemed to suddenly darken!
