As soon as the two swordsmen stepped into the shop, they saw the fat monk eating and drinking happily. They waved to each other in understanding and carefully stepped out of the door.

"Hey, why did they leave? Are they afraid of the monk?" Xuan Tian was shocked. "Such a strong man won't give up easily. He probably wants to use some dirty trick. I'll go take a look." Xuan Yiling quickly ran to the door, hiding and taking a look.

Seeing the two swordsmen exiting the restaurant, they stood in front of the window and plotted. One of them was over thirty years old, with sharp eyes and a cold voice: "Brother Liu, that's the monk who died this morning. Why don't we join forces and kill him while he is eating and drinking." The other one was about the same age, with sinister eyes and a sly smile. : "Brother Tang, don't be impatient. This monk has some skills. If you attack rashly, you may not succeed. Why don't you let me use a little trick to poison him to death." The man then smiled sinisterly: "Brother Tang is indeed thoughtful. Then it depends on your means."

Then the masked swordsman surnamed Tang took out a piece of black talisman paper from his arms, and said a strange saying: "I will seek to uncover the black marsh haojie, and accept the spiritual formation in the east. Spirit." After reading, the black talisman burned and turned into a talisman. There was a poisonous bird that looked like a light mist. The swordsman raised his hand and gently moved it, and the poisonous bird flew into the shop and hovered above the monk's head.

The monk was enjoying his meal, and he wanted to throw himself into the plate, but he didn't know that disaster was coming. Xuan Yi hurriedly ran back to his seat, pulled at the Taoist's robe and whispered: "Master, those two little devils used poison charms to do evil tricks to harm people, please save them quickly." The Taoist waved his hand, and the poisonous talisman above the monk's head The bird immediately turned around and landed on the faces of two thieves who were excited to commit crimes outside the window.

"Ah!" The poison hit their faces, and the two fell to the ground howling in pain and rolling around. Pedestrians on the street and diners in the shop were all attracted and surrounded. The two rolled around on the ground a few times before they remembered to take the antidote and gradually got better.

The fat monk also heard the news and walked out of the store with a duck leg in his mouth. Seeing the miserable faces of the two people, he laughed loudly and said: "Haha, it turns out it's you two brats. Could it be that they do a lot of bad things? Thunder Lord can't bear to look down on him, he must have been struck by lightning during the day." The two looked at each other, thinking that the monk was doing something to harm them, and shouted angrily: "The monk is seeking death!" They raised their swords and chopped them off with both hands. The monk was also a very brave and aggressive person. He immediately threw away the duck leg, picked up the Buddhist beads and shouted, "Good come. I'm in a hurry to eat, so I beat two imps to accompany the wine."

The three powerful men showed off their skills and started fighting in the street, causing dust and clanging. The crowd was all frightened and hid away, watching the show in fear, unable to take their eyes off the show and refusing to move a step. The Taoist came outside the store and shook his head when he saw this. Two of these three people are evil asuras, half of their feet have stepped into the graveyard, and they are still doing evil; the other is a flower monk who has no intention of practicing and wears Buddhist robes all day long to do evil. The three of them were all punished severely. Immediately, they flicked their fingers and a spiritual light passed through the pill points of the three of them. The three people's Dantians were pierced, and all their strength was lost. They all screamed in pain. The two lost their knives, and this one dropped his Buddhist beads. They all covered their stomachs and rolled.

After taking a breath, they felt pain in their lower abdomen. Knowing that an expert was secretly interfering, the two swordsmen hurriedly got up and escaped from Tongshan Town in one breath. The monk got up, scratched his bald head, looked around, and said to himself: "It's weird. Could it be that he is really being targeted by evil spirits? Why is he in such bad health today? His feet sprained in the morning, and now his stomach is twisted. Look. You have to go back to the temple to find an old monk to chant sutras to ward off the disaster."

As if nothing happened, he went back to the hall to eat and drink. The three Taoists also sat down again. Xuan looked at the monk and said with a smile: "What a beautiful monk. He fights, eats meat and drinks a lot. He enjoys the leisure in the mountains and does not abandon the joy of the world. He is really the first-class happiness in the world. Master, today Xichen, let’s order more meat to eat.” The Taoist was confused: “What Xichen?” “Xinxinzhichen.” Xuan Yi said hoarsely. "Since you are happy, why do you want to hurt lives? If you are happy, you should also make the little animals happy. It is better to use the money to buy meat and release it." Taoist. "Ah! I'm not happy now. Master, let's order roast chicken as usual."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw the fat monk coming over, covering his fat belly. He came close, clasped his palms together, and said, "Amitabha, the monk has been polite." The Taoist stood up and returned the gift: "Infinite Lord, the Taoist has returned the gift." The monk grinned broadly. He smiled and said: "Buddhism and Taoism are all the same. We are one family. I ordered too much food today and feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Why don't the little Taoist priest and the little disciples enjoy it together to avoid wasting it."

When the two boys heard this, they were really blessed from heaven. The eight or nine kinds of meat on the monk's table were more delicious than a roast chicken. Without waiting for the Taoist to speak, Xuan Yi stood up hastily and agreed: "Oh, the great monk is really kind-hearted. Let's go, let's eat together. Your table of seven or eight people can't finish the food. If you don't eat, it will be a waste of practice." People's waste will be rewarded by their karma." "The little boy is right, let's go, let's go!" The monk also laughed heartily and led Xuan Yi and Xuantian away, and the Taoist had to follow behind.

At that time, the monks and Taoists were eating together at the same table, and the food they ate was full of good meat. The other diners looked strange and commented: "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. This monk and Taoist priest are not practicing hard in the temple or temple, but they are leaving the world. Come here to eat and drink, it’s really embarrassing for the Buddhist and Taoist leader!”

The great monk had a lot of meat all over his body and sat upright. He didn't say a word after he sat down. He ate so fast that he wished he could even swallow the plate. He didn't feel any discomfort in his stomach at all. Xuan Yi and Xuantian were not mortals either. Seeing that the monk was eating quickly, they raised their cheeks and ate fiercely. Xuan Yi ignored the description and threw himself on the table to grab the food. The Taoist took out his rosary and recited a verse, but ignored it.

In a moment, only the skeletons of the elbow, whole chicken, wax goose, and big fish were left, and the five internal organs were all sacrificed to the roasted wheat and soy sauce meat. Seeing that he had finished eating, the monk suddenly covered his stomach and screamed: "Ouch, my stomach is not feeling well. I have to go to the toilet. You continue to eat, I will be back soon." He covered his stomach and left the store in a hurry.

When Xuan Yi saw the monk leaving and saw the empty plates left on the table, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the grease on his mouth, and said with a smile: "What nonsense did the monk say? He has already eaten all the dishes, so what else can I eat?" Haolai grabbed a full meal. It was such a delicious meal, and it was not in vain that the master saved his life. Although he is a flowery monk, he has a straightforward temper and some kind-heartedness."

After waiting for half a stick of incense, the monk disappeared and reappeared. The waiter came over and said respectfully: "You three ate really cleanly, and you must be satisfied. Three liang of soy sauce elbow, two liang of fresh steamed duck, two liang of spicy mandarin fish, and three liang of Bazhen Shaomai." , wild ginseng stewed chicken two taels, and roasted wax goose three taels, overcooked sauce meat three taels, roasted venison legs three taels, fried tiger spine five taels, two large jars of soju ten taels, a total of thirty-six taels of silver. Please reward me with food."

The two children stared in shock. A roast chicken in Xiaoqing Town cost only one tael, but this meal cost thirty-six taels. Xuan Yi said nonchalantly: "This meal is for the monk. He went to the toilet. When he comes back, he will pay." Hearing this, the waiter immediately put his face down and said gloomily: "I have seen it a long time ago. You guys He was deceived by that monk. He had gone to the toilet and had slipped away a few miles away. Since you have also eaten this meal, you have to pay. Otherwise, I will beat you up and send you to the Yamen for a lawsuit! "

Ertong finally came to his senses, and Xuan Yi said angrily: "Hey, there is really no good person in this world, and the monk is also a liar. Master, you already knew this monk's trick, why didn't you remind me! This money You have to come out." The Taoist said helplessly: "Xuan Yi, when you see the benefit, you rush up and give the master a chance to speak. If I don't let you eat, you will probably blame me for being unreasonable." Xuan Yi hugged me He touched the Taoist's arm and said with a smile: "Master, I know I was wrong, so hurry up and pay. Otherwise, you will be beaten with a stick and you will have to go to jail."

The Taoist took out his purse from his bag and put it on the table, shook his head and said, "I only have ten taels." Seeing that the three of them had no money, the waiter turned around and shouted: "Come here, there are deadbeats here. Quickly arrest them and beat them with a hundred sticks to vent their anger." In response, two men in long blue clothes ran out , a handyman covered in oil, water and vegetable residue. The two of them each took hemp ropes and wooden sticks, and they came with fierce looks.

"Hey! Hey! We didn't say we wouldn't pay, so why are we tied up and beaten again? At worst, we can just find a way to get it for you." Xuan Yi jumped out, stopped the two men and shouted. The waiter said with a straight face: "Okay, I'll let you think of a solution! Anyway, we have plenty of time. If we don't pay all the money for the meal today, it will be nice for you!"

Xuanyi looked at the Taoist again and begged with a smile: "Master, please think of a way quickly? Otherwise, we will really get beaten. We don't care, but if the master has suffered a mouthful of food and has not eaten, we will be implicated in vain." The Taoist did not. He liked to talk a lot and said: "You are smart in everything, master listens to you." "Hey, you are making things difficult for me, right? Okay, I'll figure it out myself!"

Turning his head, he raised the Demon-Conquering Sword in his hand and said proudly: "Look, we just got these two Demon-Conquering Swords. There are at least 20 taels each on the street. Even if I pay you for the meal today, you still want to turn to us." Four liang!"

The waiter took the sword, opened it, looked at it, shook his head and said contemptuously: "Well, he is a real guy, one sword can be worth thirty taels of silver. So, you still owe us twenty taels!" "Ah! You don't know how to settle accounts. ? This sword sells for twenty taels a piece, how can you count it as thirty taels? This is a black shop!" Xuan Yi jumped to the stool and stopped, angrily saying.

The waiter threw the Demon-Conquering Sword back and said with disdain: "This sword is all over the streets. If an outsider comes to buy it, it will cost twenty taels of silver. But if you want to sell it on the street or go to a pawn shop to mortgage it, it will only cost three taels at most." If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." "Hey, just try it, no one is afraid of you." Xuan Yi jumped off the stool, took the sword and walked out. The waiter ordered a handyman to follow him, while he stayed to keep an eye on the Taoist.

The Taoist sat in the shop and chanted sutras peacefully. After waiting for half an hour, Xuan Yi and Xuantian came back dejectedly holding the Demon-Conquering Sword.

"Well, no one wants it. Looking at you, I'm afraid you haven't sold even a few taels..." the waiter joked upon seeing this. Xuan Yi angrily threw the Demon-Conquering Sword to the ground and said angrily: "It's unreasonable! We worked so hard to buy swords, twenty taels a sword, but we can't sell them for three taels of silver. What a broken place and a broken person!" "This is the rule of doing business here. Those who sell cannot be bought, and those who buy cannot be sold. But don't worry, we don't beat the children, we only beat your master. After the beating, we will send you to the Yamen together for punishment! Come on, Tie them up." The waiter, with a more sinister look on his face, ordered the busboy.
