Xuan Yi looked back from a distance, "It's impossible. He looks so fierce and speaks so harshly. How can he be a good person?"
"You just scolded you more fiercely. Are you a good person? You are still young and don't know the changes in people's hearts. It's hard to paint a dragon or a tiger, but you don't know the heart. Those who scold you, those who beat you, those who bully you, They may not really mean to harm you. Those who have a sweet mouth, a flattering smile, and are obedient and respectful to you may not all be good people."
"I don't believe it. It comes from my heart. He doesn't seem to be a good person. Just because he spared us a few taels of silver doesn't mean he is a good person. Maybe he was convinced by my scolding. I, Xuan Yi, will not look away. .”
"Confidence comes from ignorance. I see that there is an evil spirit on your head. You will be deceived at least three times today. By evening, you will know that people's hearts cannot be distinguished by sight."
"Okay, then I will make a bet with the master. If I am really cheated three times today, I will admit my mistake and write "The Right View of Heaven and Earth" ten times. If the master is wrong, he will let me stay in a hotel for ten days and let me stay in a hotel for ten days. How about eating ten-day roasted chicken?" Xuan Yi turned his spiritual eyes and suggested.
"Okay, master agreed."
"Haha, great. Master, you have been fooled. As long as I don't care about good or evil today, and don't quarrel with others, I will naturally not be cheated. When the time comes, I will eat ten days of roasted chicken and live in the house for ten days. It’s an inn.” Xuan Yi was delighted. Xuan Tian also clapped his hands happily: "Sister is so smart."
"Master, I wish you success. One more thing, you were very good at swearing just now. Master, I have never taught you to curse. Go back and copy three chapters of "Su Xin" three times to get rid of the anger in your heart."
"No! I've finished cursing, and I'm not angry anymore. Besides, I learned to curse from my master. Master likes to debate with others. Debate is about finding the other party's mistakes and refuting them. This is almost the same as cursing." Xuan Yi was pleased with himself. A smile.
"It makes sense. It's just that debates are for both sides to eliminate falsehoods and preserve truths, and swearing is simply to humiliate others. If you want to curse others in the future, you must be smarter. Don't use vulgar language such as pigs and dogs. This is just a joke and is too shameful. Your style.”
"I understand, master. As a disciple of a Taoist priest, you must be knowledgeable when you curse others. I don't need to copy the three chapters of Su Xin, right?"
"Just remember it first and see how you behave in the future."
Tongshan Town and Xiaoqing Town have different boundaries. This is the place where sect cultivators buy and sell. When the three of them walked to the street, they felt that the street was wide and the stone houses were magnificent. They were much more beautiful than they looked from a distance. The items sold on the street are even more bizarre and unheard of. They don't sell sundries for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but mostly magic weapons, spiritual weapons, elixirs and elixirs, as well as some spirits caught in the mountains. Weapons for subduing demons include swords, knives, halberds, hammers, pestles, shields, bells, bells, cymbals, drums, ropes, locks, forks, sickles... there are hundreds of kinds. There are dozens of kinds of soul-collecting magic weapons, including soul-containing beads, soul-collecting bags, yin-yang umbrellas, soul-transforming bottles, soul-suppressing posts, soul-engraving jars, soul-catching nails, soul-calling flags, etc. There are even rarer things, such as a demon subduing tower carved in pure gold that is more than ten feet high, a demon-suppressing statue carved from tens of thousands of years of gloomy sacred wood, a pot of elixirs that can hold hundreds of acres of land... There are also many monsters and monsters locked in the magic stone pillar on the street, such as an old zombie that has not died for a thousand years, a five-hundred-year-old rabbit spirit, a lizard monster that can become invisible, an old turtle spirit that is as big as a millstone, etc...
Xuan Yi and Xuan Tian were dazzled by what they saw. They lay down at one stall to get a clear look, and then rushed to that stall to feel it clearly. Jumping up and down, running left and right, it was like finding a happy place. It was breakfast time and I didn’t want to leave. The Taoist took out two pancakes from his bag and asked them to eat them while watching the scenery.
I saw another high platform with four monsters locked in a demon-subduing pillar for sale. The two children stood side by side, with their hands on their sides, watching intently. On the left is a pig spirit, one foot tall, with steel fur like blades all over its body, and four fangs in its mouth. It breathes out foul-smelling gray smoke, and is so angry that it rushes in all directions, blowing the fishy wind and billowing black mist.
Xuan Yi pointed at it and said happily: "Wow, what a big pig spirit. Brother, look at this pig spirit. If it were killed and eaten, it would be enough to feed a thousand people for three days." "Well, it must be enough." Sister, look at this pig sperm selling for 5,000 taels of silver. There are also those two red-skinned, bald-headed, black-eyed vultures with wings as big as door panels and droopy-skinned faces like old women. If they fly, people can definitely catch them. Eat it." Xuan Tian pointed at the two vultures beside him and smiled. Xuan Yi laughed, then pulled the corner of the Taoist's clothes and pointed at the monster in the middle, and asked: "Hey, Master, what kind of monster is this in the middle? Why does it look like a human, with disheveled hair, covered in moss and green hair, and water is still leaking out. "
"This is a water demon, a demon formed by the fall of man. There is a kind of water demon that must borrow the yang energy of a living person to survive. They will attack people crossing the river in the water. However, some people are born with hard life, and the water demon cannot absorb them. The yang energy of the ghost will be swallowed up instead. In this way, the person will obtain the spiritual power of the ghost yin and have some magical powers. However, if he uses his magical powers without restraint, he may even swallow other ghosts or people to increase his power. He The body and mind will mutate, eventually becoming such a water demon that is neither human nor ghost."
Xuan Yi sighed: "Hey, that's it. It's a good thing to have enough Yang Qi, but if you swallow Yin Qi and have supernatural powers, it will be difficult to keep your inaction nature. Then there should be many demons turned into by such people in the world. Right." Xuantian asked: "Master, this pig spirit monster's skin can be used as armor, its bones can be used as weapons, and its meat can be eaten. But after all, the water demon is still a human body. What's the use of buying him? It's still selling for 50,000 yuan. Where are the taels of silver?" The Taoist replied: "If a water demon swallows enough Yin spirits, it will have some unusual abilities. Some water demons can form water pills in their bodies, and if people eat them, they can increase the water spirit for hundreds of years. With the power, you can swim as freely as a fish in the water. Some monks can use the water demon's ability to swim through water and use them to control floods. They can also use them to make medicine, etc., there are many kinds of them, and they are considered hot commodities among the alchemists. "
"It's true that everything is put to its best use. Human beings are really the species that know how to exploit the enemy. Unexpectedly, the water demon can also find a way to control it. The master's magic is so good, can he turn him back into a human?" Xuan Yi asked, looking at the Taoist. "Yes. If you can use the super clear spell to expel the Yin power in his body, and then awaken his will in his previous life, it should be cured. However, this water demon swallowed many lives and created a lot of bad karma during his lifetime. He should be punished by this , it’s self-made cause and effect, I shouldn’t have interfered.” “That’s such a pity. If he had met the master earlier, he wouldn’t have ended up like he did today.”
After wandering on the street for a long time, the Taoist bought his little apprentice a book of Taoist talismans, two soul-collecting bags, and two demon-locking ropes. The two children were holding the newly purchased items, with smiles on their faces as bright as sunflowers under the sun. Unfortunately, the Demon-Conquering Sword is too expensive, the cheapest one costs twenty taels, and the Taoist has no money left to buy it.
After asking more than a dozen shops, there was no cheap Demon-Conquering Sword. Xuan Yi frowned, folded his arms in disappointment, and complained: "The soul-collecting bag and the demon-locking rope only cost a few hundred coins in total, and the Demon-Conquering Sword cost only a few hundred cents." But it's dozens of times more expensive. It's really annoying. It's all my fault, master. If you had listened to me yesterday and took the thank-you gift from Mutong Inn, you could have bought everything today." Taoist: "Hey, how come you still remember yesterday. You can't do everything as you want. If you can't afford it today, you can buy it in a few days. You yourself told the blacksmith grandpa in the morning that whether it is a hardship or a blessing depends on whether you feel uncomfortable. Why do you feel uncomfortable for a while? ”
"The truth is the truth, and the work is the work. This is different!" Xuan Yi puffed up his mouth and said. "If it were different, then this truth would no longer be nonsense. It is better to do what you say, and only by doing it can you get what you want. Otherwise, if you become a fake person in the future, you will not be considered the master's apprentice."
Xuan Yi looked around, suddenly with a look of surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "Master, I have thought of a way to make a lot of money. Master, you are very powerful in magic. If you just draw a few magic talismans, they will be top-notch treasures. If you sell them for a few hundred taels of silver, that's not the case." It's easy to catch." The Taoist reached out and knocked Xuan Yi on the head, and said with a smile: "Don't use your intelligence on these crooked ways. People with magical powers like the master must know the changes in the movement of heaven and earth, and know the beginning and end of cause and effect in the world. , there will be no mistakes in using magical powers like this. If I give spiritual talismans to people casually, it will change the destiny and cause big trouble."
Xuan Yi said in frustration: "Being a Taoist priest is really troublesome. You can't ask for the money given by others. What secrets do you have to consider to make money by drawing talismans? Hey, I deserve to be poor with my master." The Taoist touched Xuan Yi's head and comforted him. : "Don't be anxious. If you ask for something, you will get it. If you don't ask for it, you will be satisfied. If you can let go of your desire, maybe the Demon-Conquering Sword will come to your door."
Xuan Yi said angrily: "Master, you have started chanting nonsense again. If you don't make money by yourself, it will fall from the sky." The Taoist said: "You have a lot of temper all day long. I still have ten taels of silver on me. If you can buy the Demon-Conquering Sword, take it all. If you can't buy it, we'll buy it another day." "Huh. Only ten taels of silver is not enough for one sword. You can't buy it after looking at it like this. It's a waste of trouble. It's better to leave." Xuan Yi held his arms in his arms and walked forward like a grown-up.
Walking with his head lowered, he accidentally bumped into an old woman wrapped in black robe and holding a white jade bone staff in front of him. The old woman let out an ouch, and fell forward like a poplar, just in time to bump into a fat monk in yellow clothes in front of her. The monk had a broad body and was as fat as a yellow-haired buffalo, but his mind was alert and he jumped to the side to dodge. His jump scared two masked warriors in black clothes, wearing bamboo hats and holding scimitars. These two killers, who were both warriors, came to Tongshan Town just to do evil. They had evil intentions in their hearts. After being frightened by the monk, they immediately drew their swords to fight against the enemy. Seeing someone drawing a knife, the crowd around them all jumped aside in fear. Xuan Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that his collision would cause such a big deal, and he hurriedly hid behind the Taoist.
