Chapter 4 The Town

Zhang Xiaofan looked deeply at the middle-aged scribe in front of him who called himself "Ten Thousand People", and he had a bad premonition in his heart, but at the same time, deep in his heart, there was another kind of power, which made him ask involuntarily: "Please sir." ”

Ten thousand people glanced at him meaningfully, and said slowly: "This black sè short rod is extremely evil, black and restrained, if a person is close, less than three zhang, the whole body qi and blood will definitely be persecuted by this evil qi, poured into the heart and died." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "Yes, when I first encountered this thing, I felt my body sinking from afar, nausea and vomiting, and I almost fainted." ”

Wan Xiang sighed softly, looked at him and said, "Yes, that's it," he said and seemed to frown slightly, and sighed, "It's really strange that you don't die." ”

Zhang Xiaofan didn't hear his words clearly, and asked, "What?"

Wan Xiang smiled slightly, but did not answer him, only pointed to the burning stick and said: "This black sè short stick, originally a naturally fierce thing, called 'dementor', but not a demon cult thing, has never been born for thousands of years, only some records in the ancient scrolls, Brother Zhang is deeply blessed, and he can actually get these two worldly treasures." ”

"Dementor!" Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice.

"Exactly. "Ten thousand people regained their calmness and said, "There is a record in the ancient book "Ten Chapters of Strange Treasures": There is strange iron in the sky, falling in the nine shadows, and the ghost fire burns the spirit to refine it, the thousand years are red, the thousand years are formed, the thousand years gather the ghosts and the powerful qi, and the thousand years become the ability of the soul. In fact, such a ferocious thing is beyond the control of the living, but I didn't expect Brother Zhang to ......"

"Bell ......" There was a crisp sound, and the black sè burning stick slipped down from Zhang Xiaofan's hand and fell to the ground, Zhang Xiaofan's hands and feet were soft, he only felt extremely tight, staggered back a few steps, staring at the burning stick that had been with him all these years, and he was speechless.

Wan Xiang looked at him in horror, but a sneer suddenly flashed across his face, and said, "Little Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head vigorously, almost feeling extremely painful when he spoke, and muttered: "Why, how can this be the case, I am a subordinate of the Qingyun Sect, how can I use such an evil thing?" At this time, he also remembered that when he was under the abyss of death, it was no wonder that those yīn spirits were so afraid of his burning stick, but he was afraid that most of them were this "dementor".

Tens of thousands of people looked at him, and they knew that this young man had grown up in Qingyunmen all along, and had never seen anything in the world, and now he was almost at a loss when he encountered a sudden change, just looking at him, but he didn't seem to have any comfort, only said lightly: "Evil thing? What do you think is an evil thing?"

Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be a little lost in his soul, and pointed to the burning stick on the ground in a daze: "This, I don't know how many living beings this thing has harmed, isn't it an evil thing?"

Ten thousand people sneered: "If you kill a lot of people, is it an evil thing?"

Zhang Xiaofan almost didn't think about it, and said, "Yes." ”

Ten thousand people looked at each other with sarcasm, and the threatening aura between the eyebrows gradually revealed, and the whole person looked as if they had changed into another person, but Zhang Xiaofan's heart was chaotic, but he didn't notice it. I only listened to the words of 10,000 people: "May I ask Your Excellency, boars and sows, black pigs and white pigs, but they are all pigs?"

Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect this sentence to suddenly pop up in ten thousand people, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Naturally, it is." ”

Ten thousand people went to each other and said: "Then the lion, the goat, the tiger, and the rabbit kill each other, but they are all living beings?

Zhang Xiaofan faintly felt what he was going to say, but he still didn't understand it in his heart, so he had to say, "Yes." ”

Ten thousand people snorted and said, "Then may I ask Your Excellency, are you all human beings in your so-called righteous and evil ways?"

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and had the heart to refute, but when he came to his mouth, he found that there was nothing to say, so he had to say again: "Yes." ”

Wan Xiang looked at him deeply, until he saw that Zhang Xiaofan's heart was a little hairy, and then he said slowly: "Little Brother Zhang, you Qingyun Mountain has a famous Zhenshan treasure that shakes the world and shocks the past and the present-Ancient Sword Immortal, do you know?"

Zhang Xiaofan's feelings at this time were almost completely swayed by the ten thousand people who met for the first time, and nodded unconsciously: "Yes." ”

Ten thousand people's faces suddenly sank, and they said sharply: "Then do you still know how many living beings and how many lives were killed and how many lives were destroyed by this Zhuxian Sword in the Great War of Righteous Demons a thousand years ago?

There was a loud buzz in Zhang Xiaofan's head, and the person involuntarily took a step back, as if he had been punched in the face. At the same time, he seemed to feel that in the depths of his heart, there was something faint, a place that had been sacred and inviolable since childhood, and after a faint crisp echo, a small crack appeared for the first time.

※※※

The sun is shining, shining from the top of the big tree, through the dense leaves, turning into a little bit of broken sun, falling to the ground, with the leaves constantly shaking, like a naughty child, beating gently.

Occasionally, a few bits of sunshine fell on the boy.

Zhang Xiaofan squatted on the ground, and in front of him was the burning stick lying calmly on the ground, which looked ugly and ugly in the shadow of yīn. What this ten thousand people said was actually not much different in meaning from what Baguio said in Kongsang Mountain, but when he said it, Zhang Xiaofan felt very different, and deep in his heart, there was a faint figure, sneering lowly: He was right, he was right.

Thousands of people sat calmly aside, drinking the tea that had already been cold, and in the distance, the elderly tea stall owner glanced here, and then turned his gaze away, completely unaware that the young man here was like a turbulent angry sea in his heart!

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaofan's face gradually calmed down from the original anxiety, struggle, and pain, he slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the burning stick on the ground in his hand, stood up, looked at ten thousand people, and said coldly: "Who are you?"

At this moment, the ten thousand people resumed his casual style, the evil aura between the original eyebrows disappeared, and he smiled faintly: "I, I am ten thousand people, just an ordinary man who has traveled the world." ”

Zhang Xiaofan stared at him, grabbed the hand of the burning stick and slowly clenched it, and said, "How can ordinary people know so many things? Are you a demon of the Demon Sect?"

Ten thousand people didn't react when they fell down, just looked at him, and said lightly: "The distinction between good and evil, for you, is it really so important?"

Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and said heavily: "Yes!"

Ten thousand people sneered and said, "In that case, why do you still use this demon cult evil thing in your hand?"

Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, but his expression was awe-inspiring, and he said: "This burning stick may be an evil thing, but I use it to kill demons and eliminate demons, which is the right way, and I have a clear conscience, just like what you said about the ancient sword in my sect." ”

Wan Wan was stunned for a moment, slowly stood up, looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, as if he had reacquainted this person, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "You can actually think of this layer by yourself, rare, rare, just this thought is better than you Qingyun, no, it is the majority of people in the world!"

Zhang Xiaofan ignored him, just stared at him and said, "Who are you?"

Ten thousand people went but did not answer him, but said: "You are going north this time, but do you want to go back to your Qingyun Mountain?"

Zhang Xiaofan was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Wan Xiang smiled slightly, and said: "You don't know yet, now that the Demon Sect has re-emerged, its power has risen greatly, and it has gathered on Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, and you Qingyunmen have gone to many people, and you will meet other factions there, I'm afraid there will be a big war, why don't you go and take a look?"

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there such a thing?" But he immediately raised his head and said: "That's none of my business, I'll ask you again......" The words were broken before they finished speaking, only this distraction, and thousands of people disappeared like ghosts, and even the boss of the tea stall in the distance was gone, leaving only a lonely tea stall, and Zhang Xiaofan alone.

Zhang Xiaofan looked around in a daze, and under this broad daylight, somehow, he felt a chill.

He stood there for a long time, and at last he saw him stomp his foot, step out of the tree, and go east.

Not long after Zhang Xiaofan left, three or two people came out from behind the big tree, one was ten thousand people, one was the owner of the tea stall, and the other was the demon girl who made Zhang Xiaofan see Baguio, who must have been surprised.

Wan Wan looked to the east, nodded slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "This young man is stubborn and determined, but he looks a little like me back then." ”

The tea stall owner standing beside him was no longer the appearance of the old dragon bell at this moment, but his eyes were shichenjīng light, his expression was mighty, and he said: "Sect Master, since he has our Demon Sect treasure in his hand, why don't you keep this person." ”

Ten thousand people were calm about being called the "sect master", and only said lightly: "Somehow, the blood-devouring bead and the dementor were actually fused by this young man with jīng blood and became a blood refining thing. Now this magic weapon can no longer be used by anyone except this young man, and it is useless for us to grab it. ”

Baguio snorted beside him and said, "I said that when Rì looked at this stick under the necromantic abyss, it turned out to have such a big origin." ”

Ten thousand people turned their heads to look at Baguio, their faces were soft, and said, "Baguio, what do you think of this young man?"

Baguio's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Dad, today my daughter asked you to see how he is!"

Ten thousand people smiled and said: "This young man is still good, but he has been poisoned too deeply by the Qingyunmen portal since he was a child, and he wants him to enter our Holy Sect, with his stubbornness, he is only afraid of a thousand difficulties." ”

Baguio's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed softly.

Wan Shixiang stretched out his hand, gently stroked his daughter's hair, and smiled: "But he can untie the knot in your heart for many years and reconcile our father and daughter, we must return this affection." ”

Baguio moved and said happily: "Dad, do you have a way?"

Ten thousand people looked up at the sky, and a majesty slowly emanated, showing that he was a long-term powerful figure, but somehow, looking at his expression, he seemed to have a little pathos, and only listened to him say slowly: "Although it is not easy to change a person's xìngzi, it is not impossible." ”

Baguio was overjoyed, and thousands of people turned their heads, looked in their eyes, and smiled slightly, the expression was the same as when all fathers in the world saw their daughters happy. Baguio smiled at his father, but noticed that the person next to him frowned, and whispered to ten thousand people: "Sect Master, that's just a nameless boy from Qingyunmen, is it worth spending so much effort?"

Wan Wan shook his head and said: "That young man has an unprecedented magic weapon in his hand, and looking at his appearance, he can still be cāo indulgent, and he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, this kind of talent, if he can collect it, it will definitely be of great help to my hegemony, not to mention that he has also done our father and daughter a great favor." ”

Baguio nodded again and again, and said, "That's it, I told him when I was rì, if I can join my Holy Sect, my father will definitely value him, but he just won't listen." ”

Ten thousand people laughed and said, "How could he listen? His xìng son, who grew up in Qingyun since he was a child, has long hated our Holy Sect. It's just that, hehe, the blood-devouring bead and the soul dementor are the most murderous things in the world, although now this young man has inexplicably refined into a blood refining magic weapon, the evil spirit is introverted, and it is not exposed, but these two fierce things are brought with him, how can they have no effect? In my opinion, this young man's cultivation is not deep, and he is with this great evil thing at night, and when he is invaded by the inner anger of this magic weapon, he will inevitably change, so as to kill and devour blood, and then the righteous path will not allow him, no matter how small we use a strategy, it will be difficult for him to think of entering my holy sect. He laughed.

Baguio was stunned for a while, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried for a while, he couldn't speak, so he had to look to the east in a daze, but when he saw that the sun was shining, he was in the middle of the ancient road, but the figure of the young man had long been gone.

※※※

Zhang Xiaofan left the tea stall and headed east alone.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was shining on the earth, and after the mountainous area of Kongsang Mountain, it was a fertile field, empty and rarely inhabited. There is only one ancient road, which I don't know how many ancients and modern people have stepped on, and it stretches straight forward on this field.

Zhang Xiaofan did not fly in the sky, but walked silently on the ancient road alone. The conversation with 10,000 people just now had a great impact on him in his heart. Although he was righteous and awe-inspiring when he spoke in front of thousands of people, at this moment, when he was alone, he still couldn't help but ask himself: Am I really right?

The black sè's burning stick still nestled quietly at his waist, and there was a slight coolness coming from its body.

Walking, walking, walking......

Under the sky, on the ancient road, the young man who was full of worries suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

It was blue, high above, and it looked so unattainable.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at it in a daze, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, his brows were furrowed together, low, facing the sky, as if he was also looking at someone's deep heart, and said softly:

"What do people live for?"

※※※

Along the way, Zhang Xiaofan slept in the open air, although he didn't have much silver on his body, but when he was hungry, he caught some wild birds and hares in the wild, and when he was sleepy, he found a tree to deal with for a night.

In fact, if he was to fly through the air with a burning stick, he would naturally be much faster, but somehow, he didn't have such a plan, he always felt bored, and there were always those troubles in his heart, so he would rather walk slowly, hoping to think about the doubts in his heart.

However, if it comes to this, how can the question in Zhang Xiaofan's mind at the moment be understood by a teenager like him, let him think about it, he always feels that the teacher's past teachings are naturally sacred, and he should be born like this, and he will never be wrong;

If it was someone else, such as his sixth senior brother Du Bishu, he would laugh and leave it aside, anyway, I am under the Qingyun Gate, so I naturally listen to the words of the Qingyun Gate, and if his senior brother Song Daren is strict, he will not believe in this so-called evil demon outside the Tao at all, and he will not even have the idea of thinking about it.

It's just that only Zhang Xiaofan, who is more stubborn than anyone in his bones, encountered this problem that was almost a complete challenge to his previous beliefs, so he thought about it carefully and came up with an understanding.

In this way, he buried his head in hard thinking, and walked for a whole three years, but he still couldn't think of a reason.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and he stared ahead, in front of the ancient road, there was a small town, although the scale was not large, but it may be on this ancient road, but there were many people.

Zhang Xiaofan was happy in his heart, but he also forgot his troubles for the time being, there were few people on the road to these three rì, and seeing such a small town at this time also made people feel excited.

When I got closer, I saw a stone tablet standing next to the road at the entrance of the town, and the three words "Xiaochi Town" were engraved on it, which I thought was the name of this town.

Zhang Xiaofan walked in, only to listen to the voice of the people gradually getting louder, the ancient road from this town straight through, there are houses and eaves on the side of the road, there are also some shops, but more, it is some vendors who set up stalls directly on both sides of the road, walking along the street, the sound of selling is endless, it is really a picture of the world.

Zhang Xiaofan walked in the crowd, the corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile, when he was still living in Caomiao Village when he was young, he vaguely remembered that it was like this, the fireworks in the world, compared to the cultivation years on Qingyun Mountain, seemed to have a different taste in his heart.

"Bell ......"

Just when Zhang Xiaofan was still immersed in the memories of the past, suddenly there was an earth-shattering gong sound on the street in front of him, which startled him, and then he saw the surrounding townspeople speeding up their pace and running forward, and occasionally heard a few people talking while walking: "Let's go, the mayor has summoned to speak." ”

"I think that's what happened, right?"

"Yes, I heard that the mayor of the town discussed with Li Baochang and Fan Xiucai last night for a whole night, I wonder if there is a way to come out?"

"I hope there is a way, otherwise this rìzi really can't go on!"

......

Zhang Xiaofan heard it in his ears, and his curiosity was aroused, so he also walked forward with the flow of people. I saw that the surrounding crowds had gathered, and after a short time, two or three hundred people surrounded themselves on the edge of a stone platform in the center of the town.

Zhang Xiaofan stood in the crowd, looked at the middle, and saw that the stone platform was more than half a person high, and it looked quite smooth, and there were three people standing on it, two old and one young, thinking that it was the mayor and Li Baochang and Fan Xiucai who I had just heard about.

Seeing that the people were almost coming, the eldest of the three people on the stone platform stood up and beckoned to the townspeople below, and the townspeople gradually quieted down.

When it was completely quiet, the old man looked around, his tone was heavy, and he said, "Fellow villagers, I have summoned everyone here today, and everyone must know what is going on." Since three months ago, the demon lived in the 'Black Stone Cave' ten miles outside the town, and since then he has been disturbing the town, and in the last month, it has intensified, coming night and night, plundering countless cattle, sheep and poultry, and even more, the father and son of the former Wang family rebelled against it for the last cow in the family, and they were ...... Alas, he died at the hands of that demon. ”

There was a sigh among the surrounding townspeople, and a few people even scolded loudly. Zhang Xiaofan understood most of it in his heart, but he still didn't know what that demon was.

At this time, I only heard the mayor of the town say again: "The old man, as the mayor of the town, is really ashamed that he can't keep the town safe." After discussing with Li Baochang and Fan Xiucai last night, I thought that since this demon was extraordinary, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people such as us, so it was better to post a notice and invite some cultivators to come back to collect the demons, and as for the cost, I would like to ask for your full support. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the townspeople in the audience said: "What the mayor said is reasonable, he should invite the master to come back and catch the demon." ”

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid that everyone will be eaten by that demon, do you still care about that little money?"

"Yes, yes......"

The three people on the stage saw that most of the townspeople agreed, and the mayor also seemed to be relieved, and said, "In this case, I also asked Fan Xiucai to write a notice last night, so I will post it." After speaking, he nodded to the young man who looked like Xiucai, and Xiucai answered, took out a piece of white paper from his arms, with some handwriting on it, walked down the stone platform, walked to a brick wall standing next to him, and pasted it.

The townspeople immediately rushed over, and Zhang Xiaofan also followed to take a look, only to see that the paper read:

Today, there is a demon three-tailed demon fox, living in the black stone cave of ten miles outside the town, day and night, sāo disturbs the town, robs poultry, cattle and sheep, and hurts people, but its demon law is powerful, today I specially invite a master of the Tao, for the people to eliminate harm, Xiaochi Town is willing to thank it with five hundred taels of silver.

Zhang Xiaofan saw that the payment was a citizen of Xiaochi Town, and listened to the surrounding residents agree. He hesitated for a moment, he had the intention to do this good deed, but when he thought of the words of the townsman and the mayor just now, this demon was afraid that it was very tight, his mana was low, and it was a trivial matter that he couldn't beat that monster.

He was hesitating, when he heard a sudden uproar among the townspeople around him, and he looked up, and was taken aback, only to see a huge man coming from outside, and everywhere he went, with a flick of his hand, the crowd parted like water.

When the giant man got closer, Zhang Xiaofan saw it clearly, and saw that this person didn't look very old, about twenty at most, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and wide ears, matching his amazing figure, a mighty aura came to him.

Among the crowd, the tallest one was only up to his shoulder, and he really stood out from the crowd.

I saw him stride to the wall, read the notice carefully, and without saying a word, he actually ripped it off.

There was an exclamation from the crowd, and the giant man turned around and glanced at the people around him, and the townspeople immediately fell silent. I only heard the voice of the giant man's urn and said angrily: "I am the only successor stone of the 'King Kong Gate' master, the 'Venerable Force', and I came out to practice at the order of the master. ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, searched his mind, and had never heard of this Vajra Sect or any other cultivation sect.

The people around him were staring at him, and at this time, the mayor and others also rushed over and walked up to the giant man who claimed to be called Stone, and the mayor said cautiously: "This ...... Strongman, that demon is very powerful, no, cough cough, it's not that you have a lot of strength, it's okay, it's not that your life is in danger, you have to think about it?"

The giant man nodded, glanced at the mayor, and said, "Don't you believe me?"

The mayor of the town was stared at by him, and he didn't feel a little hairy in his heart, so he said stiffly: "No, no, I just want to remind you." ”

The giant man turned his head to look around, and after a moment, his eyes fell on the brick wall where the notice was posted.

"Are you useful for this wall?"

The mayor was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's useless in Pingrì, it's just a notice." ”

The giant man called the stone smiled, and suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way." ”

The sound was like thunder, and Zhang Xiaofan's ears were actually buzzing, not to mention the other townspeople, all of them lost their faces, and in a moment, a large open space was opened in the field, and only the giant man stood in the middle.

I saw him frowning and crossing, suddenly stomping his right foot on the ground, sealing with one hand, reciting a short mantra in a low voice, and shouting:

"Up!"

"Whew", a gust of wind, Huo Ran came out from the giant man's body, whistling past everyone's ears, almost untenable, everyone lost their sè, and "pedaled" and took a few steps back. I saw the golden light flashing, and the giant man proudly sacrificed a huge mace with a golden sè body, horizontal in the air, the golden light was shining, and the word "broken" was engraved on it, which looked a little solemn.

Everyone immediately cheered, Zhang Xiaofan stood in the crowd, but frowned, he had passed on the true method of "Dafa Prajna" in Puzhi back then, although no one taught him over the years, but he secretly practiced it, and he also knew some about the cultivation method of Buddhism. The mace sacrificed by the giant man called the stone in front of him is golden and solemn, and looking at his spell-casting gestures, it is somewhat similar to Puzhi back then, but I am afraid that most of them have some relationship with the Buddhist cultivation system.

This golden glee, huge and incomparable, seems to be bigger than its owner, at this time by the stone in the air, the golden light is released, only to see the stone round eyes, a finger of the trick, the mace whistled in the air, and smashed down on the head.

The crowd exclaimed!

"Boom", in the loud noise, the dust flew, and a brick wall that was originally good, in a moment, under his mana, turned into powder.

"Wow......" The townspeople present were all dumbfounded, and then they all smiled, this giant man has such a strong power, it is naturally easy to get rid of the three-tailed demon fox. The mayor walked out first, laughed non-stop, and said, "The stone strong man has good skills, so please leave it to you." ”

Stone nodded.

The mayor paused, a hint of hesitation flashed on his face, and then he said, "But there is one thing, I still hope that the stone strong man can understand." ”

This strong man named Stone may have spoken in a tone that is like the sound of an urn, but he still said at this moment: "Old man, please speak." ”

The mayor said: "As for those rewards, because they are all the hard-earned money of the townspeople, I hope to wait for the strong man to get rid of the demons, and then ......."

Unexpectedly, when Shi Shi heard this, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, before I went out, the master told me that we are righteous people, and when we encounter evil spirits, we should stand up without hesitation, and regard it as honing our own cultivation." As for what money is not money, there is no need to mention it, you just need to take care of me with a full meal, and I will have the strength to eliminate the demon when I am full. ”

The mayor of the town was overjoyed to hear this, and there was such a cheap thing, which naturally couldn't be better. At that moment, he said again and again: "This nature, this nature, the strong man, please come with me, I will definitely satisfy the strong man." ”

Zhang Xiaofan listened to the stone's words on the side, and somehow there was a stirring in his chest, and he was ashamed at the moment, only to feel that the master and the master had also taught the same brothers like this, how could it be that when the matter came, he was afraid of it, and he really lost the face of the master.

Thinking of this, his blood surged, and he only felt that he was a decent family, how could he ignore this matter, thinking that he was going to take a step, open his mouth to identify himself, and go forward with the stone to get rid of the demon.

Unexpectedly, his feet only lifted three points, and the moment he just left the ground, he suddenly heard a voice beside him, with a little anxiety and eagerness, and said: "Ah, this little brother, you are covered with dark clouds, Yintang is black, and your face is dead, something is wrong!"

Zhang Xiaofan was full of confidence, the words reached the side of his throat, and he was about to say it and do something righteous, but he was frightened by someone who said these words in his ear, and he choked back the words, and he didn't pay attention to his feet, staggered a step, stepped on the wrong place, and stepped on a pile of shit.

This anger is not trivial, Zhang Xiaofan jumped up, but felt that his feet stinked, although through the soles of his shoes, his heart was cold, and he only felt that his body trembled. At that moment, he turned his head and wanted to see who the person who spoke was.

I saw an old man standing beside him, his beard was white, his face was mediocre, he looked a little crane bone fairy wind, and the appearance of a master of Taoism made people have a little respect at first sight, and beside the old man, there was an eight- or nine-year-old girl, with two pigtails, born lively and cute, holding a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand, and was eating with relish.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned by the old man's demeanor for a while, but he couldn't scold, and was thinking about what to say, but he saw the old man glance at his feet, not only did he not apologize, but his face was even more urgent, and said: "Look, look, isn't this a big omen?"

Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and said, "What?"

The old man glanced at him and said earnestly: "Haven't you heard the saying that if you step on dog shit, you will be forced by bad luck, and if you step on dog shit, you will be forced by bad luck, and if you are ten people die, you will be full of bad luck?"

Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded, and said in a daze: "No, I just heard from the senior brothers in the past that it was a person who had excellent luck, and people would say that he had taken the shit and brought it......"

The old man was stunned for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said, "Confused, confused, it's just nonsense." ”

Zhang Xiaofan said: "What's wrong?"

The old man said, "Since you said that, did you deliberately step on dog shit?"

Zhang Xiaofan was startled, remembering that when he was on the big bamboo peak, because he was the youngest, he often had to do some dirty work, and the big dog Rhubarb, which was not easy to raise in Master Tian, was ......

Immediately shook his head again and again.

The old man nodded and said, "Then have you seen others deliberately step on dog shit?"

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "How can there be such a thing!"

"That's right!" the old man clapped his hands and said, "If there is such a thing as shit luck, how can anyone avoid it;

When Zhang Xiaofan heard this, he felt that these words made a lot of sense, it seemed that he was indeed wrong before, and then when he thought of the old man's words just now, he was really alarmist, and he couldn't help but let out a cold sweat, and said: "That old man, you just said that I ......."

The old man frowned, looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan's heart up and down, and then said: "Hmm, it seems that you really have a big disaster, why don't you please step aside and wait for me to look at you, how about it?"

"Look?" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the old man was still holding a bamboo pole in his hand, with a white cloth hanging on it, and four words were written: Immortals guide the way.

It turned out to be a fortune teller, but having said that, Zhang Xiaofan did not despise it in his heart, for no other reason, the Qingyun Patriarch who founded Qingyunmen back then was also a Jianghu physiognomy teacher, of course, no one in Qingyunmen will do this now, but Qingyun has always been very friendly to Xiangshi, otherwise wouldn't it be a deception to destroy the ancestors?

Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, but found that at the moment when he was talking to the old man, those townspeople had already walked away around the giant man called Shishi, and immediately settled down, thinking that it was okay to let the old man take a look at it first, anyway, the mayor of the town also said just now, to invite the giant man to eat enough and then get rid of the demon, it seems that there is still time.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to the old man, "Okay, please ask the old man to help me see the picture." ”

The old man smiled, pointed to a big tree by the side of the road, and said, "Then let's go there and talk." With that, he turned and walked away.

Zhang Xiaofan was following up, and suddenly heard a crisp voice beside him: "Big brother." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned, but saw that it was the little girl who was standing next to the old man eating a rock sugar gourd just now, and called him for some reason at this moment. Zhang Xiaofan looked at her ruddy face, extremely cute, leaned down with a smile, and said, "What's the matter, little sister?"

The little girl chewed at the corner of her mouth, spit out a few cores, looked at Zhang Xiaofan, her face seemed to be smiling, and said, "There is dog shit under your feet, it stinks!"

"Ah!" Zhang Xiaofan's face was flushed, he jumped up, and shook his feet desperately to shake off the dirt on his shoes.

The little girl looked at him as a wolf, smiled, turned around, and jumped up and down to the old man standing under the tree.
