The shop owner panicked for a moment and secretly cursed himself for telling a big lie just now. His brain turned a few more times, his eyes twitched a few times, and he covered his face and cried: "Oh, this is their treachery. This Taoist priest came to sell the child and me when there was no one last night." I felt soft-hearted and gave him the money on the spot without even keeping the deed. I didn't expect him to want to steal the child today, so I caught them."
"Bah! We just came here this morning. Was it a ghost you saw last night? The town we entered from Nanshankou in the morning has the Shenlan Sect's tax collector as proof. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask for confirmation. Old guy, you have nothing to say now." Xuan Yi pointed at the old man and retorted firmly.
The old man covered his face with his sleeves, pretended to cry, and tried to make up his lies. I thought to myself, this is really lies upon lies, and loopholes upon loopholes. I didn’t expect that this little girl would be so difficult to deal with. His eyes shook a few times, he used all his brainpower, and cried hard: "This is it. The Taoist priest sold you to me last night, stole you again at night, and deliberately showed up from Nanshan Pass this morning, and then took you away Returning the child, this is your method of collaborating to defraud money. Last night, all the clerks in my shop were here, and they can testify."
"Yes, we testify. They did come last night!..." A group of big men in the store hurriedly spoke out in support.
Xuan Yi raised his hand angrily and cursed: "Hey, you old monster is really incapable of hammering or twisting gluten. You can make up nonsense casually. It's useless for a scum like you to waste words. To save my face. Master, come on! Subdue this green ghost and let him know that Taoist priests are powerful!"
In this way, the Taoist looked at the shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, you said that we were here last night and asked me to take away a thousand taels of silver in public. The shopkeepers could all see it clearly, right?"
The shopkeeper looked serious and cried aggrievedly: "Of course! I saw you pitiful last night, so I fell into your trap. At that time, all the clerks in my shop were there, and they can all prove it for me. If there is a lie, there will be thunder and lightning. , I will die badly." "Yes! We prove that they have been here! We prove!" The big men echoed in unison again.
Seeing that everyone was talking about the same thing, the Taoist walked to Ling Zhao's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ling Zhao nodded upon hearing this, pointed at the store clerk, and shouted loudly: "Since you all said that you could see clearly last night, it will be easy to handle. Come here, take all the store clerks outside. Let them go their separate ways. Write down what happened last night. You should write down clearly what time the three Taoist priests arrived, what they said to the shopkeeper, how the silver was finally weighed and marked, who carried the silver, what pocket they used to carry the silver, and when they left. Was he carrying the silver or holding the silver? If your answers are the same, it means that the three of them were indeed here last night. If the answers are different, it is all lies. You people, like the shopkeeper, are all sentenced to child trafficking. For this crime, you will have to chip away at the mountain for the rest of your life."
Everyone panicked after hearing such a detailed question. This nonsense, how can the answer be the same? Seeing that everyone was guilty, Ling Zhao smashed the wooden cabinet next to him with one palm and shouted: "If you don't tell the truth yet, if you dare to lie again, you will be punished by one more level."
The crowd hurriedly knelt down and shouted for mercy, saying that it was the shop owner's order and they did not dare to disobey it. When the shop owner tried to quibble again, Ling Zhao ordered someone to stop his mouth and then asked the minions to tell the truth. It turned out that the three Taoist priests were shopping for demon-conquering swords on the street in the morning, and they happened to be seen by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw that the Taoist was poor and lonely, but the two children beside him were clever and clever, so he became malicious and made a trap to abduct him. Unexpectedly, Ling Zhao came in and ruined his good deeds.
After finding out the details, Ling Zhao pointed at the shopkeeper and said angrily: "You, a shopkeeper with a fortune of tens of millions, viciously frame passers-by. It is really abominable. Come to think of it, you will have done many such evil things in the past. As the young master of the Slayer Sect, I Hall Master Yang, you have a duty to take care of Tongshan Town, and you will be severely punished today. Lock up this gang of villains, and take them all to the Feng Killing Sect for strict interrogation. I will find out all their past evil deeds and punish them severely."
The warriors in red clothes immediately took out ropes and tied up all the people in the store. When the shopkeeper saw what had happened, his face was still not panic, but more arrogant. He pushed away the warriors who were restraining him, raised his head high, and smiled wildly: "Let me see who dares to touch me. I have dominated Tongshan Town for twenty years. I didn’t want to capsize my boat in the gutter today and fall into the hands of a bad Taoist priest. However, so what if you find out. To tell you the truth, I am the nephew of the leader of the Tianzhu Sect. The strength of the Tianzhu Sect is far higher than the other three sects. Even if you, the leader of the Killing Feng Sect, are here, you are not qualified to touch me. Our four major sects are considered one family. If you just pretend that you haven’t seen us now, we will be fine and it will benefit you in the future. If not, my uncle will punish you. Come down, I’m afraid none of you can bear it.”
Hearing such arrogant words, everyone was wondering, when did the leader of Tianzhu Sect have such a nephew? Ling Zhao glared angrily, and slapped a palm from the air without any courtesy. The powerful dragon-shaped purple energy hit the shop owner. The shop owner was immediately kicked out of the door and fell to the street, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
Ling Zhao waved his sleeves and said coldly: "The vicious old thief dares to be rampant when his crimes are exposed. He really ruins the good atmosphere of the place. He is the son of the leader of the Tianzhu Sect. I can't spare him today. Take them all away!"
The two children were naturally overjoyed when their grievances were revealed. "Brother, you are so handsome! You hit that old toad with one palm and vomited blood. You are really a big man!" Xuan Yi gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile. Ling Zhao touched Xuan Yi's head and said with a smile: "You are also very smart. Be careful in the future and don't be fooled by others again."
The Taoist took out two spiritual talismans from his arms, handed them to Ling Zhao, and said, "Thank you so much, young hero, for your help. These two spiritual talismans can be regarded as the Taoist's thanksgiving gift. These are the yin and yang talismans of the same fate. You and your wife can each Wearing one can turn bad luck into good luck in the future and help you stay safe."
Ling Zhao smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, little Taoist priest, you are wrong. I haven't married yet, so it's useless for you to give me this talisman. Besides, I think a person's destiny is in his own hands, not just a piece of paper." The talisman can control it. You should keep this talisman and sell it to others." The Taoist thrust the talisman into Ling Zhao's hand, "Whoever has a mole on his neck, a lucky and noble woman, will be your wife."
After that, he lifted his feet and left. When Ling Zhao heard this, he was shocked like thunder. Xuan Yi smiled and said: "Brother, my master is a Shinto, and his talisman is something even the Emperor of the People can't ask for. Keep it." After saying that, he jumped up and left.
"Strange! How does he know that the person I love has a mole on my neck? Does he know me?" Ling Zhao stood there, looking at the magic talisman in his hand and was very confused. He picked up two Demon-Conquering Swords on the ground and quickly chased them out, "Hey, little Taoist Priest, you don't want to buy Demon-Conquering Swords. The old shopkeeper has caused you a lot of trouble, so these two Demon-Conquering Swords are his compensation for you." Ling Zhao handed the sword to him and smiled.
The Taoist did not refuse, and saluted: "Thank you very much. Xuan Yi, Xuantian, put away your sword." The second child was really surprised, and immediately put away the sword happily, and said repeatedly: "Thank you big brother, big brother, you are so handsome." ." "Little Taoist Priest, do you know me? Otherwise, why did you say what you just said? I wonder if you have any other advice?" Ling Zhao asked with doubts. "It's yours, you can't run away. It's not yours, you can't catch it. This is what the little Taoist said. Immeasurable Blessings, bid farewell."
After finishing speaking, the Taoist lifted up his fly whisk, and the wind blew up, covering his face with sand and dust. When Ling Zhao opened his eyes, the three of them had disappeared, and he sighed: "It turns out to be an expert. This skill is probably ten times stronger than our sect leader. It seems like this is my chance."
Holding the Demon-Conquering Sword, the second boy took high-spirited steps, as if he really had the style of a Demon-Conquering Master. Xuan Yi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Master, although I fell into the trap of the old monster in green robe, I still caught a bunch of harmful people and got the Demon-Conquering Sword. This business is not a loss! But since I gave my elder brother the spiritual talisman, Why don't you tell him the details of the future?" "Okay. I would like to ask you, what is the secret that cannot be revealed?"
Xuan Yi bit his finger and thought for a while, then said: "The so-called secrets are the laws of the operation of heaven, including the future fortune, misfortunes, blessings, life and death of people, gods and ghosts in the world. People who have attained the Tao or spiritual beings with supernatural powers can see it in advance Or predict some secrets. If you tell them in advance, it may change or even push things in the opposite direction. Therefore, if you see the secrets, you cannot express them clearly. If you encounter them, you cannot stop them. You must let them develop naturally. Oh, So that’s why you can’t tell him.”
"When you ask a question, you have already figured out the answer. When you ask questions in the future, you must first look for the answer yourself. If you can't find it, you can ask the teacher again. Ling Zhao is at a crossroads in his life. Let the teacher give him a brief reminder. He You will know how to do it later. You must pay attention to methods when doing things, know when to stop, and know the cause and effect. People in the world always seek supernatural powers, but don’t they know that without extraordinary merit, supernatural powers are a big obstacle to practice. So, the master is teaching Before you develop your skills, you must first cultivate your extraordinary merits. Starting from tomorrow, you will get up half an hour early every day and start morning classes."
"Ah! You're getting up early! We've already gotten up very early. I don't even have enough sleep, so I won't grow taller. Isn't it the same with classes during the day? Anyway, we have a lot of time." "You can't always envy others. He's awesome, but he doesn't work hard. Xuan Yi wants to be the number one in the six realms, so he should work harder." "Okay! In order to be number one in the six realms, I will work hard. Now let's go eat roast chicken Come on, I’m hungry!”
"Sister, there happens to be a restaurant here, let's eat here." Xuan Yi pointed at the restaurant on the roadside and shouted. Xuan Yi turned around and looked at it, "Mobai Restaurant? Another word that doesn't make sense. Hey, I'm so hungry that I don't have the energy to discuss the strange name of this restaurant. I just eat here. Brother, come on, eat. Let’s go roast the chicken!”
Entering the restaurant, as soon as the three of them took their seats, they saw the fat monk sitting in the hall with 108 large Buddha beads hanging around his neck. The fat monk was quite arrogant. He ordered a table full of delicious dishes, including fried pork elbows with soy sauce, steamed tender duck, mandarin fish, siu mai, stewed chicken, roasted wax goose, soy sauce meat, etc. There are also two large jars of wine, and they are eating and drinking happily.
"He is just a loser. He ate too much. Master, this is not the fat monk whose foot was sprained by you this morning. Look at the way he eats, he looks like a pig fighting for food." Xuanyi said with a smile. "Don't discuss right and wrong." The Taoist criticized. At this time, Xuan Tian suddenly pulled Xuan Yi again, looked at the door and said, "Hey, look, sister. The two men in black with knives are here this morning too!" Xuan Yi looked at it, covered his mouth and said with a smile, "No. If enemies don't get together, they will die with debts and sorrows. These two black-clothed and masked brats are also here, so there will definitely be a good show when the two sides meet. "
