Yu Wan Guan's master and apprentice left the beach in dejection. Seeing that there was no one else around, they started communicating again.
Ma Cunyong angrily slapped the stone ridge next to him and cursed:
"I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be so stubborn and trustful of that evil villain, and completely ignored our efforts.
It's nothing more than a commendation, but he also resorted to verbal abuse, which is really chilling! "
Feng Xingping consoled him:
“Disciple, you must know that since ancient times, loyal and virtuous people have not been liked by the superiors.
Although Mr. Yuan Da knows people poorly, we must not give up on ourselves.
Don’t forget, the people of Pingbo Mansion are still waiting for us to save them! "
"Master, what you said makes sense, but this villain is in charge. It's extremely difficult for you and me to act. Lord Yuan doesn't believe us at all!"
When Feng Xingping heard this, he stroked his beard and said:
"Master Yuan was bewitched by a treacherous person, so he does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. As long as this treacherous person is removed, you will understand our good intentions!"
When Ma Cunyong heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said helplessly:
"But this cunning villain is always by Mr. Yuan's side, so there is no right time to strike!"
"There is more than one traitor, we can deal with the other one first..."
...
Miaotong was still very enthusiastic about finding the cat demon, running around the streets and alleys all day long.
However, it may be that Miao Tong couldn't find any clues because he had been detected by using the hair left by the cat demon to find the person.
On the contrary, because of his appearance, he often encounters some rogue people in crowded places.
Although these guys will be dealt with mercilessly by her, they are really annoying.
Miaotong walked out of a dilapidated house again, feeling a little disappointed.
Looking forward, I saw an old man selling candied haws.
The candied haws sold by that man are round and shiny, much prettier than those sold by other vendors.
There were many children around, vying to buy.
When Miao Tong saw it, her eyes were immediately attracted. Seeing that the candied haws were being bought by the children quickly, she felt a little anxious and hurriedly stepped forward.
She was lucky today. There happened to be a bunch left that had not been sold, so she bought it.
Holding the candied haws and jumping happily.
Looking at the beautiful candied haws in my hand, I was a little reluctant to take a bite, and planned to look at it for a while before eating.
Just after leaving the street and continuing to look for the cat demon in an alley, I suddenly saw a ray of light coming from the side.
Fortunately, Miao Tong had been looking around. When he saw this attack, he was startled and hurriedly hid aside.
The brilliance failed and penetrated the wall next to it.
Although Miao Tong was not hit, all the candied haws in her hand flew out one by one.
And this attack is just the beginning, and more than a dozen mana rays will follow.
Miaotong was a little panicked and narrowly escaped.
"Who attacked me!"
Miao Tong steadied her body and looked angrily at the direction of the attack ahead.
Seeing that the attack failed, the attacker no longer hid and rushed out from a pile of hay in the alley.
The person who took action was none other than Ma Cunyong.
After he appeared, he didn't say any nonsense. He flipped his wrist, took out a stylus, used it as a short gun, and directly attacked Miaotong.
When Miao Tong saw this guy, she became angry.
Throw away the candied haws sticks in your hand, take out a whisk with your backhand, and confront it.
The two men fought in a narrow alley.
How could this little Xiangzi withstand the fight between these two people? After several booms, the walls on both sides were shattered.
When the surrounding residents saw this, they were frightened and ran around in a panic.
Seeing a large number of innocent civilians around, Miao Tong frowned, threw a handkerchief into the air, jumped up, and flew high into the sky on the handkerchief.
Seeing this, Ma Cunyong pulled out a piece of rice paper, stepped on the paper, and pursued him.
The two were fighting endlessly in the air, and the fight was brilliant and beautiful.
Miaotong's magic power is just like herself, very active, ever-changing and elusive.
Ma Cunyong's magic power seems rigid and rigid, somewhat lifeless.
Although its magic power changes little, it is powerful because it is directed in one place.
The two of them flew higher and higher, farther and farther away. Someone below looked up and could only see two kinds of brilliance clashing in the air, which was not clear.
Miao Tong didn't understand why the other party wanted to attack her secretly, but she, who had no good impression of Yu Wan Guan's master and disciple, showed no mercy at this time.
Seeing that he couldn't take the opponent down, Miao Tong shook his left hand, and a string of small bells appeared.
Shake the bell gently and there will be a crisp ringing sound.
Ma Cunyong on the opposite side immediately felt that his soul was affected, he felt a little groggy, and his hand movements couldn't help but slow down.
Seeing this, Miaotong's face flashed with joy, and he brushed the dust in his hand and hit Ma Cunyong.
The latter received this blow, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Before Miaotong could seize the opportunity to pursue the victory, he saw Ma Cunyong, who was already injured, suddenly made a Confucian scholar's gesture of salute and shouted:
"Women are not allowed to appear in public!"
Miao Tong was stunned by these words, wondering what the other party was doing.
But the next moment, Miaotong suddenly felt waves of terror coming over him.
At that moment, she seemed to be naked in the bustling city.
Countless onlookers around her saw her appearance, and there were a lot of discussions and countless dirty looks...
Affected by this, Miaotong was immediately frightened and subconsciously hugged her hands and feet, trying to curl up to avoid such accusations.
Because of this, her follow-up attack failed.
Seeing this, Ma Cunyong on the opposite side held the ceremony again and said:
"It's the fault of a thousand people!"
The next moment, Miao Tong seemed to see countless onlookers, and they all began to curse her with the most vicious words. Many of them almost poked her with their outstretched fingers.
This is not an illusion, this is real.
Under the influence of Ma Cunyong's two consecutive words, Miaotong almost lost her ability to resist.
The handkerchief fell from his feet and the whole person fell from the air.
At this moment, Feng Xingping, who had never appeared before, suddenly burst out of an inconspicuous thatched house, rushed upwards, and pointed his finger like a sword, directly at the back of Miaotong's heart.
If it hits him this time, he will definitely be seriously injured even if he doesn't die.
What's even more frightening is that Miaotong hasn't noticed this yet.
She just felt that those who accused her were about to poke her with their fingers.
At this critical moment, a green water hyacinth vine suddenly flew in and wrapped around Miao Tong's soft waist.
With a pull on the water hyacinth vine, Miaotong was pulled away. Feng Xingping prepared a fatal attack for a long time, but it easily failed.
Feng Xingping was greatly surprised when the blow missed. He rushed up a certain distance due to inertia, then stopped and looked at the person who made the move.
Following his gaze, he saw Ye Ming appearing on a white cloud in the distance at some point, standing leisurely.
The end of the water hyacinth vine was being held in his hand, and Miao Tong had also been received beside him.
But Miao Tong didn't wake up for a while. She hugged her hands and feet, huddled up, and was still shivering.
Feng Xingping looked a little ugly when he saw Ye Ming appear:
"You traitor, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Traitor? What a joke. I am a master hired by Master Yuan personally. I also hold the position of left counselor of the Shu Min Pavilion. I am of the same eighth rank. I can be considered a clean official.
You, on the other hand, are just ordinary people with white bodies. When you see me, you don’t know how to salute?
Isn't this confusing the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors? "
Ma Cunyong had just spit out the blood in his throat and his face turned a little pale. He wanted to deal with Ye Ming together with his master, but when he heard this, he was stunned.
According to etiquette, his master and disciple should indeed salute this person.
Seeing that Ma Cunyong was a little shaken, Ye Ming urged again:
"Hurry up, come here and salute me."
Seeing this, Feng Xingping said:
"Etiquette is the right way of heaven and earth. You are an evil sycophant, and everyone will punish you if you find it. You are not worthy of receiving our courtesy!"
When Ma Cunyong next to him heard this, he immediately woke up and couldn't help but be afraid of flattery:
"Master, you are right. Those who confuse superiors and lead people astray should be cut into pieces and do not deserve any courtesy!"
Seeing these two people talking like this, Ye Ming asked again:
"You say I'm a treacherous person, but I don't know what crimes I've committed, and what kind of evil things I've done?"
Feng Xingping said: "It's no need to ask, it's naturally because you rashly provoked the Mullet King and offended such an untouchable being as Guanyin.
In this way, you still don't know how to repent, and you actually want to resist to the end. It is really like a worm shaking a tree, and you are beyond stupid.
Isn’t this act of disregarding the life and death of the people along the coast a heinous crime? "
"Oh, then the only way to save the people is to follow the strategy of the two of you groveling and hanging on for a while?"
"This is nonsense, how can this be called groveling?
This is the best choice after considering the situation. It only requires the sacrifice of a small number of people to achieve long-term stability.
This is the most correct approach at the moment! "
"Really? I wonder if there are two people among those who sacrificed?"
"Of course not included, we are the only inheritors of the way of heaven.
Such supreme principles must never be lost, and naturally we must not give up on ourselves easily. "
Hearing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"You two, this theory is quite flexible. Please remember, don't you insist on consolidating all rules and eliminating all variables?
Why are you still talking so cleverly? Isn't it contrary to the way of stupidity? "
"What does not change is the Great Way of Heaven. The so-called words are all within the Tao."
Feng Xingping said, his eyes full of longing for his so-called great road.
Ma Cunyong did not have so much patience to discuss the truth, but said a little eagerly:
"Master, what are you talking about with these evil thieves?
It would be better to remove them when they are not at full strength, so that Lord Yuan will not be deceived! "
When Feng Xingping heard this, he felt it was reasonable and planned to take action.
In this regard, Ye Ming didn't have any nervous expression at all, and still smiled lightly.
Ma Cunyong was about to take action when he heard Feng Xingping say:
"Wait, there's a scam."
Ma Cunyong was stunned by these words. He looked around and found nothing wrong.
Feng Xingping glanced at the clouds behind Ye Ming, and his expression moved slightly:
"There is definitely an ambush!"
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"It seems that you are not really stupid."
As he said this, he saw a group of evil spirits coming out of the clouds behind him.
In addition to the bad luck, the local city god also came to visit.
When the master and disciple saw this, they both looked unhappy.
Ma Cunyong said to the City God:
"Chenghuang Si, this matter has nothing to do with evil spirits. It is an internal fight among practitioners. I'm afraid it's against the rules for you to interfere?"
Pingbo Prefecture City God said:
"Normally, we shouldn't interfere, but Mr. Ye... Shanyuan is in a special situation, and we have the right to intervene."
The words of the City God made both master and disciple realize that what happened today might be difficult to accomplish.
At this time, they did not see any foolishness or stupidity. Feng Xingping wisely chose to retreat and quickly disappeared into the sky with his apprentice...
Seeing the master and apprentice leaving, Ye Ming smiled and held his hands in front of the City God and the gangsters:
"Thank you for your help."
The City God glanced at Miao Tong, who was still trembling, and said to Ye Ming in a meaningful way:
"Mr. Shanyuan, I, the City God, still have to focus on my duties. It is not advisable to go out for too long, so I will go back now."
After that, he called out to all the underworld servants and returned to the City God's Temple.
Ye Ming just said goodbye to them with a smile, as if he didn't understand the implication.
After the city god and all the evil spirits had left, he took a look at the pitiful Miao Tong and tapped her forehead gently.
Miaotong, who was in panic, suddenly woke up and realized what was going on.
Looking up at Ye Ming who was smiling, he couldn't help but cry loudly. He closed his eyes and hugged her involuntarily.
Then, I felt like I was hugging something soft.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Ye Ming was standing aside at some point.
What he hugged were just the clouds gathered by this guy.
Although the cloud was soft and comfortable to hold, it was obviously not what she wanted.
After understanding that the other party was avoiding it intentionally, I cried even more sadly...
...
