"Celestial Master Zhang Daoling stood in the square at the head of the village, holding a peach wood sword that exuded a faint golden light. He stared at the snake demon Qinglin who had transformed into a beautiful girl. He knew that this fight was not trivial, and Qinglin's demonic power was profound. Unexpectedly, once she was allowed to escape, there would be endless troubles. Soon after, the green-scaled figure was seen shaking, turning into a green shadow and flying towards the outside of the village. Zhang Daoling had been on guard for a long time, his figure was like lightning, He quickly caught up with him, his whole body was filled with Tao Qi, his true energy was condensed on the peach wood sword, and he pierced the air with one sword."

At this wonderful moment, the storyteller suddenly stopped talking, and then Xingmu slammed the table and said: "I can predict what will happen next, and I will listen to the explanation next time." After that, the storyteller went to pack up. . Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience stood up and left one after another, but a young man ran to the stage carrying a teapot, filled the tea bowl in front of the storyteller, and said to the storyteller with a smile: "Mr."

After hearing this, the storyteller raised his eyelids slightly and saw the handsome young man in front of him. Knowing that he was helping the teahouse, he said, "It turns out to be Shouguang."

This young man's name was Xu Shouguang, and he had a hard life. He was abandoned since he was a child and was raised by an old beggar. The old beggar's name was Xu Zhishu. He was originally a scholar, but the world was difficult and the imperial examinations were not prepared for poor families. After repeatedly failing in the exams, he gradually became a beggar. It was said that there was a test report for returning to his hometown. Xu Zhishu scanned the list at the gate of the Chief Secretary's Office several times, but he still could not see his name. Xu Zhishu went home dejected. When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a swaddled baby boy. Asleep. Xu Zhishu wondered which family had abandoned the child. He hurriedly looked up and looked around, but saw no one. Then he looked at the infant child in front of him. He was very cute. He bent down to pick up the child and said to the little face in front of him: " It doesn’t matter, since you and I are both abandoned and miserable people, you can follow me from now on.”

After that, Xu Zhishu brought up Xu Shouguang and taught him how to read and write. Seeing that the son he picked up was about to become an adult, the old beggar could also enjoy happiness. But who knew that a tuberculosis disease two years ago would completely kill him? The old beggar's life. Before he died, Xu Zhishu gave Xu Shouguang a jade pendant and said: "My child, this jade pendant was carried in your infancy. I think it is related to your life experience. No matter how poor I am, I am not willing to sell it. I am leaving." , you put this away yourself, and you will be on your own from now on..." As soon as he finished speaking, he took his last breath. Later, Xu Shouguang buried the old beggar and found a job in the teahouse to make ends meet.

When Xu Shouguang saw his husband talking to him, he pestered the storyteller and said, "Sir, what happened next?"

The storyteller was stunned for a moment, then stroked the goatee on his chin and said with a smile: "Haha, wait until tomorrow, you will know tomorrow." After that, he left with the eye-catching box. Xu Shouguang looked at the storyteller's retreating figure, muttered a small sigh in his mouth, then curled his lips, drank all the tea in the newly filled tea bowl, and went back to his business.

In the afternoon, Xu Shouguang tossed a copper plate while walking in the alley. This was today's wages he had just received. He was still thinking about the continuation of Mr. Storyteller's story, and didn't pay attention to the situation ahead. The copper plate suddenly thrown in the air was caught by a fat hand, and then a foot was placed heavily on Xu Shouguang's chest. Go up and kick Xu Shouguang to the ground.

Xu Shouguang sat down on the ground, rubbed his chest, and looked up, and saw a tall, fat boy standing in front of him with his hands folded on his chest and holding his belly. There was also a lean little man standing next to him.

"Who do you think they are? It turns out they are my brothers Dachao and Xiaochao." Xu Shouguang got up, dusted the dirt on his body, and said with a smile.

"Bah! You stinking beggar, how can you deserve to be brothers with us!" Da Chao spat on the ground, and then said viciously: "You defrauded my brother of ten cents. If you get rid of this, you still have less money. When will we pay back our nine cents?" After saying that, Dachao deliberately pressed his finger bones loudly.

"Brother Dachao, it's not nice for us neighbors to talk about cheating! That money was the money Xiaochao used to buy the dog from me."

"You fart, I didn't even get that bitch!" Xiaochao shouted hurriedly.

"Hey, you are so unconscionable. That day I took the money and sent the dog to your arms, but you didn't hold it and let it run away. Could it be that you lost something at home and wanted to Blame it on others!”

"You stinky beggar, if you hadn't whistled that day, that dog would have started to get angry after hearing it..." Xiao Chao said aggrievedly.

After Xu Shouguang heard this, he whistled again. The two brothers, Big Chao and Little Chao, looked at each other strangely. At this time Xu Shouguang said: "I also whistled just now, and you two didn't do anything. It can be seen that this has nothing to do with the dog's fierceness."

Hearing that there was something wrong with Xu Shouguang's words, Dachao raised his thick hands and said angrily: "You dare to call us dogs, you stinky beggar, you are a clever talker, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

When Xu Shouguang saw that Dachao was really going to take action, he quickly said: "Brother Dachao, don't be violent yet. I, Xu Shouguang, am the most honest to my friends. I can't do anything with you anymore, but I am extremely wealthy. I don't know. Brothers, please dare to go get it."

After hearing this, Da Chao stopped his falling hand and was about to speak, but Xiao Chao said before him: "We won't do beheading!"

"Bah, bah, bah! Brother Xiaochao, who do you think I, Xu Shouguang, am? Although I, Xu Shouguang, come from a poor family, I serve the country loyally, honor my parents, love my neighbors, and care for my fellow villagers! How could I do those bad things! That's it, today I heard a guest in a teahouse tell his tablemate that he accidentally discovered a lot of treasures hidden in the Earth Temple outside Xicheng City. He suspected that this was where the snitches had stolen their stolen goods. He was afraid of being discovered and did not dare to take more, so he only took one piece. After returning home, I took the glass vase to the pawn shop and exchanged it for hundreds of pennies. The money for the tea table that day was also paid by this customer."

"Then the Earth Temple outside the West City is the one where there are rumors of monsters? It is said that the monsters there are very fierce!" Xiaochao seemed a little scared.

"Hey, brother, if the snitch hides his stolen goods there, there will naturally be some ghostly legends spread to make people afraid to get close. Anyway, I told you the news. It's up to you whether you have the guts to get it."

"Damn, people say that wealth can only be found in danger. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cub, so just give it a try and do it!" The superman is tall and bold.

"As expected, my brother Dachao is the brave one, so let's make an appointment to meet at the Earth Temple outside Xicheng tonight at Youshi!"

"Damn it, couldn't it have been earlier? We have to wait until dark!" Da Chao cursed.

"This snitch usually goes to people's homes at night to steal, and rests near the stolen property during the day. Why don't we get caught by the snitch if we go early? We have to give him a pot of food after he goes out!"

At Youshi, it was already dark. Outside the gate of Tutu Temple outside the west city, Xu Shouguang saw Dachao squatting in the grass on the roadside from a distance. He went up and patted Dachao's shoulder lightly, which shocked Dachao.

"Smelly beggar, why are you here?" Dachao said angrily.

"There's no one with nothing when it comes to treasure hunting. It took me some time to prepare some tricks." After saying that, Xu Shouguang took out two small hoes from his waist and handed them to the brothers. As he handed them over, he asked: "What's inside this earth temple?" How's the situation?"

"We have been observing for a while, but we didn't find anything moving in the Earth Temple." Xiaochao answered.

"Then let's go in now and look for the wealth that is pouring out of the sky!" Xu Shouguang said.

A few people took advantage of the moonlight and slowly entered the earth temple. This Earth Temple has been abandoned for a long time. The red paint on the door has long been mottled and peeled off, giving people a heavy sense of vicissitudes. Half of the roof has collapsed. Broken bricks and tiles are scattered on the floor of the Earth Temple. The moonlight shines directly from the collapsed roof. The middle light showed that the incense burner on the altar was turned sideways and empty. The paint on the statue of Tu Tu Gong had also fallen off, and a few withered weeds sprouted from the surrounding corners. The air in the temple has a stale smell, mixed with a fishy smell, like the smell of dead mice.

Several people rummaged through the small earth temple, only to find broken bricks and tiles, but not a single valuable item. Da Chao asked angrily: "Smelly beggar, didn't you say you have some incredible wealth?"

"Isn't this what we are looking for..." Xu Shouguang said as he used a rusty hoe to open up a pile of rubble and rummaged through it. Suddenly, the hoe hit something unknown and made a ding sound. This sound was different from the sound of hitting stone bricks, but more like hitting some metal. Xu Shouguang was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to touch it, but he pulled out a jade ring from the broken bricks and tiles.

Xu Shouguang wiped the dust on the jade ring with his sleeve and looked at it carefully under the moonlight. He saw that the jade finger was dark green in color and surrounded by a gold rim. He must have hit the gold rim with his hoe just now.

Xu Shouguang was overjoyed. It seemed that he had really found a treasure. He lowered his voice excitedly and shouted: "Big Chao, Xiao Chao, come here quickly and see what I found!"

But after a while, there was no response from the two brothers. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the two brothers, Big Chao and Little Chao. Through the moonlight squeezed from the damaged roof, Xu Shouguang saw the two brothers standing motionless against the wall. Their eyes seemed to be looking at him with a funny expression, so he smiled and asked: "I What's wrong with you two? Come and see what treasure I found..."

At this time, there was a noise behind Xu Shouguang. The noise suddenly caused a layer of sweat to break out from Xu Shouguang's back. Xu Shouguang quickly turned around and looked behind him. He saw a tall figure slowly walking towards the mottled place in the pitch black darkness. Under the moonlight, Xu Shouguang saw that this figure was about one foot tall, with long body and short legs, and his whole body was covered with gray hair. This figure had extremely long arms and a long dark blue face with a pair of yellow eyes shining brightly. Under the eyes, a blood-filled mouth was half open, revealing two rows of sharp fangs.

"Monster!" Da Chao yelled in surprise, then grabbed Xiao Chao's arm and ran towards the door. Xiao Chao was pulled so hard by Da Chao that he fell down before he could stand firmly. But before he could hit the ground, Da Chao dragged him out of the Earth Temple.

"I said you two wait for me..." Before Xu Shouguang could finish his words, he saw that Big Chao had already dragged Little Chao away and disappeared.

"You really don't have loyalty!" Xu Shouguang cursed secretly and was about to rush out the door, but he saw the tall monster suddenly flashed in front of him and blocked the exit of the temple door. The monster grinned and bent down to bring the long dark blue face close to Xu Shouguang. He carefully observed the prey in front of him. He was probably comparing it to Da Chao just now. Xu Shouguang looked as thin as a chicken. , the monster's face seemed to show a look of disappointment, but it still stretched out its long arm to grab Xu Shouguang.

Maybe the monster moved too much just now and hit a pillar in the earth temple. The pillar shook the beams, and another tile slid down from the broken roof, hitting the monster's heavenly cap squarely. The tiles shattered with a clang, and the monster subconsciously rubbed the smashed Tianling Cap with his hands. Xu Shouguang quickly seized the opportunity and ran away. But the temple door was blocked by monsters and he couldn't escape. Xu Shouguang had no choice but to hide behind the Tudigong statue. Seeing Xu Shouguang running away, the monster couldn't let the cooked duck fly away, so he stretched out his long arm and fished behind the statue of the Earth God, and he actually caught Xu Shouguang's sleeve.

The monster grabbed Xu Shouguang's sleeves and pulled him away. Xu Shouguang tried his best to shrink back behind the Tudigong statue. However, ordinary people's strength could not compare with the monster. Xu Shouguang felt that he was being dragged out bit by bit. In desperation, Xu Shouguang clenched the hoe with his right hand and swung it hard at the monster's big hand. The rusty hoe penetrated deeply into the back of the monster's hand. The monster felt pain and quickly let go of Xu Shouguang and retracted his hand.

The monster pulled out the hoe embedded in the back of his hand, threw it aside, and carefully licked the wound with his smelly tongue. Maybe it was the sweetness of the blood that stimulated it, or maybe it was angered by Xu Shouguang's blow just now. The monster let out a low roar from its throat, and the muscles in its upper body instantly bulged. It stretched out its hands to grab the side of the Tudigong statue, and swung it hard. It actually threw the Tudigong statue to the ground a few feet away, and smashed the Tudigong statue. On the ground, there was a heavy sound, and then it shattered.

The statue of the Earth God he relied on was torn away, and Xu Shouguang was alone against the wall. Looking at the ferocious monster in front of him, Xu Shouguang suddenly felt desperate. Seeing Xu Shouguang's disappointed look, the monster grinned like a human, its sharp fangs looking particularly scary in the moonlight.

At this time, the altar in front of the Tutu God statue suddenly made a banging sound, and two fists were smashed out from under the altar. Although the Tutu Temple had been abandoned for a long time, and although the altar was old and decayed, this thick Two holes were punched out of the wooden board. Then there was another bang. This time, a person broke out of the "earth" directly from under the altar and stretched his body. In the moonlight, I could see that this man was unkempt, with a two-inch long goatee on his face, a dirty Taoist robe covering his body, and a sword on his back, making him look like a sloppy Taoist priest.

"Hey, I actually met an expert! I'm saved this time!" Xu Shouguang was secretly happy.

"Who disturbed my dream..." The sloppy Taoist priest said lazily, while rubbing his sleepy eyes, he slowly crawled out of the broken altar, and then he couldn't hold on with one hand and fell with a clang. Turn it over in front of the altar. Seeing this scene, Xu Shouguang and the monster couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands. How could this be so noble?

The sloppy Taoist didn't feel embarrassed. He stood up and rubbed his butt that hurt from the fall, and then checked whether his Taoist robe was scratched by broken wood.

"Taoist Master, be careful!" Xu Shouguang called against the wall. The sloppy Taoist looked up and saw Xu Shouguang pointing behind him.

"What did you say?" The sloppy Taoist stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears. At this moment, he saw behind him that the tall monster had already raised his fists with both hands and smashed it down on the head of the sloppy Taoist. The power of this punch was carried by the strong wind, and it seemed to have a huge force. If you were hit by this punch, you would inevitably end up with a broken skull and split brain. But just when the punch was about to hit the sloppy Taoist Tianling Gai, the sloppy Taoist actually leaned slightly and avoided it easily. It was a pity that the altar behind the sloppy Taoist was hit by this punch, and it was instantly shattered into pieces, with sawdust flying everywhere.

"Good skills!" Xu Shouguang couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his mind when he saw this sloppy Taoist's flexible body and skills.

The monster smashed the altar and saw that the sloppy Taoist was still in front of him, not far away, so he simply opened his big mouth and bit the sloppy Taoist. However, the sloppy Taoist bent down and just escaped. . Immediately afterwards, the sloppy Taoist ducked to the other side of the monster, stood up straight, and dug out a piece of earwax the size of half a pinky finger from his ear. His face suddenly became much more relaxed.

Seeing that two consecutive attacks failed, the monster knew that the man in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he jumped back a step and distanced himself from the sloppy Taoist. The sloppy Taoist gently flicked the earwax off his little finger with his thumb, lowered his head and said, "You evil beast, why don't you leave quickly..."

The monster seemed to be calmed by the sloppy Taoist in front of him. He took two steps to the side. When he raised his eyes, he happened to see Xu Shouguang leaning against the wall. This monster held a grudge. Xu Shouguang had just injured it with a hoe. The monster glanced at the back of his hand. There was still blood oozing from the wound, and his eyes suddenly became fierce. He rushed towards Xu Shouguang, stretched out his claws and stabbed Xu Shouguang's head. Normally, all the monsters in the mountains would shy away from him when they saw the sloppy Taoist's abilities. Who would have thought that this monster would be so vengeful today and would risk his life to avenge him. The blow was so quick and sudden that the sloppy Taoist didn't expect it. Seeing that the young man was about to fall into the hands of the monster, Xu Shouguang suddenly followed the example of the sloppy Taoist and slanted his body slightly to avoid this fatal blow. The monster's claws pierced the wall behind Xu Shouguang, and a hole was dented in the hard brick wall.

The sloppy Taoist's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "This kid's understanding is so good, he can understand this movement technique just by looking at it once..." He turned to look at the rolling and crawling on the ground with admiration, and fled in panic. Xu Shouguang came over.

"Taoist! Help!" Xu Shouguang shouted as he ran away. The cry for help brought the sloppy Taoist back to reality. The sloppy Taoist took a step forward, blocked Xu Shouguang behind him, then pulled out the sword from the scabbard behind his back, pointed it at the monster in front of him, and drank: "People say that the mandrill will retaliate, and it is true. If you are left in the world, this little brother will be harmed." Life!" After saying that, the sloppy Taoist stood up and jumped, and in just a moment, he appeared behind the mandrill like thunder, then stopped his moves and neatly put the sword back into its sheath. And at the moment when the sword was sheathed, a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out from the mandrill's chest. The mandrill looked horrified, fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, and then fell down again.

Xu Shouguang looked at the sloppy Taoist's sword like flowing water, and his envious eyes seemed to have two gold stars beating. Xu Shouguang jogged a few steps, knelt down in front of the sloppy Taoist with a thud, and leaned down to bow: "Taoist master, good skills. I beg the Taoist Master to accept me as his disciple!"

The sloppy Taoist glanced sideways at Xu Shouguang and said to himself: "If it were anyone else, shouldn't he be here to thank me for saving my life? But this kid came to beg me to accept him as my disciple..." Then his face turned serious. , asked: "What's the use of learning my methods?"

"Be a hero!" Xu Shouguang said without thinking.

"Be a hero?"

"Well, I always heard Mr. Shu telling stories about heroes in the teahouse. Today I saw Taoist Master Wei Feng again. I want to learn the skills to become a hero. How impressive!"

"Hahaha! That's it, but do you know that the way of chivalry is not just for glory. A hero should hoe the strong, support the weak, and uphold justice. He dares to be killed for the way of chivalry."

Xu Shouguang had never heard these words before. Seeing Xu Shouguang stunned for a moment, the sloppy Taoist asked: "Do you have any wine?"

Only then did Xu Shouguang come back to his senses. He hurriedly took out a pigskin wine bag from his arms and handed it to the sloppy Taoist with both hands. This wine was originally prepared by him to pray for the blessing of the Lord of the Land today, but unexpectedly it was handed over here. use.

The sloppy Taoist took the wine bag, pulled out the cork, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and then said: "Well, today is the fate between you and me. Since I drank your wine, I will show you my hands."

After saying that, the sloppy Taoist jumped to the open space outside the temple and shouted to Xu Shouguang: "This movement is called the 'Exiled Immortal Step'. I will only perform it once, so please watch carefully!"

After Xu Shouguang heard this, he immediately stared at the sloppy Taoist with wide eyes, not daring to blink at all. I saw that this sloppy Taoist's footsteps were light and powerful. Every step seemed to be stepping on cotton, but it also seemed to be stuck in the soil. His pace is flexible and changeable. Sometimes he runs fast, sometimes he walks slowly, sometimes he takes a step across, and sometimes he jumps.

"The key to this body technique is to follow nature and move with the flow!" The Taoist explained while demonstrating the steps. His posture was elegant and strong, and his body swayed with the changes of steps, as if he was dancing. His movements are coordinated and smooth, without any unnecessary swing or stiffness, as if all parts of his body are moving harmoniously at the same rhythm.

Xu Shouguang's eyes widened when he saw it. While he was watching, he also tried to step on his own feet. After the sloppy Taoist completed a set of movements, Xu Shouguang also learned seven or eight points after following.

"Boy, you have a good understanding!" The sloppy Taoist saw that Xu Shouguang also performed the "immortal step" in a decent manner, and he was not stingy in praising him. Afterwards, the sloppy Taoist took off his sword from his body and said to Xu Shouguang: "This sword technique is called 'Green Lotus Sword Technique'. It was created by the poet Li Bai. Take a closer look."

"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return."

The sloppy Taoist sang loudly. After singing, he flicked the scabbard of his sword with his left hand, and the scabbard flew into the sky, knocking down many leaves in the middle of the forest. Then he was seen holding the sword and drawing a half circle in front of him. The sword wind carried the fallen leaves forward like a torrential river.

"Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening."

Then the tip of the sloppy Taoist's sword danced in a circle in front of him, and the shaken leaves in the forest just now were cut into many small pieces, and they fell one after another, really like goose feathers and heavy snow.

"If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden cup stand empty against the moon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sloppy Taoist put away the sword in his right hand, put the sword behind his back, half clenched his left hand into a fist, and rushed forward. The wind of the fist was so strong that the leaves that had just been rolled into pieces suddenly spread out.

"I am born with talent that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent."

Then the sloppy Taoist changed his fist into a claw, grabbed a handful in the air and pulled it in front of him, and then suddenly leaned his left shoulder forward.

"If you enjoy cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep, you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time."

As soon as this sentence came out, the sloppy Taoist turned the sword in his right hand again, and jumped forward in a circle, striking several times in succession. The sword force was strong and continuous.

"Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink wine, but don't stop drinking."

Then the sloppy Taoist used a golden rooster to stand alone, and thrust the sword forward with his right hand. The sword thrust very fast, and it took a moment for the sword wind to be brought up.

"Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me."

Then he saw the sloppy Taoist turning in a circle, and the sword wind swept downwards in a spiral. When the sword wind stopped, he saw the sloppy Taoist already sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time."

The sloppy Taoist stood up from the ground and turned around. Just when he was about to stand upright, he suddenly bowed his feet slightly and knelt down on the ground. He leaned back and quickly touched the ground. He supported the ground with one hand while stabbing his head with a sword in the other hand. go.

"In ancient times, all the sages were lonely, but only the drinkers left their names."

I saw the sloppy Taoist wielding his sword among the flowers on the ground. In an instant, the dew among the flowers was lifted into the air. Then the sword in the sloppy Taoist's hand moved left and right like a snake, and the dew droplets flew to both sides. Although it was light, under the fierce force of the sword, it hit the trees on both sides with a crackling sound.

"In the old days, King Chen had a banquet and had a great time drinking and drinking."

The sloppy Taoist dashed left and right, taking seven steps forward in succession, each step with a sword. The sword light danced like a tiger in the moonlight, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

"What does the master say about the lack of money? It's up to you to decide what to sell."

At this time, the sloppy Taoist took out his left hand with orchid fingers. Unexpectedly, there was a small stone sandwiched between his fingertips. He flicked it towards the big tree in front of him, and the stone immediately sank into the trunk of the tree.

"The five-flowered horse and the golden fur will be exchanged for fine wine."

After saying that, the sloppy Taoist held the sword in his right hand and swung it back and forth, taking turns knocking all the stones and soil on the ground forward.

"I will share my eternal sorrow with you."

The sloppy Taoist drew his sword to his side, channeled his inner strength into the sword body, and then made a fierce horizontal slash. He actually swept out an arc-shaped sword energy. Wherever the sword energy passed, the leaves withered and the branches fell. When dropped, the power is even astonishing.

After finishing a sword dance, the sloppy Taoist put his sword back into its sheath and asked Xu Shouguang: "Boy, how much have you learned?"

Xu Shouguang stood there blankly, still immersed in the Qinglian sword technique just now. He just came back to his senses when he heard the sloppy Taoist's questions. He hesitantly stretched out three fingers. After thinking for a while, he retracted one finger and said tentatively: "About 20%."

After hearing this, the sloppy Taoist couldn't help laughing and said: "Twenty percent is already good. Nothing can be achieved overnight. If you practice more in the future, you will definitely achieve something!"

After hearing this, Xu Shouguang hurriedly leaned over and thanked him: "Thank you so much, master! Please bow to me as a disciple!"

Unexpectedly, the sloppy Taoist held him up and said with a smile: "Oh, I drank your wine, and the Immortal Steps and Qinglian Sword Technique just now were just to pay for the wine. I am not your master. You are not my disciple either."

Xu Shouguang was about to say something more, but the slovenly Taoist helped Xu Shouguang up, and then said: "Boy, I look at your face and know that you may have troubles in recent days. If you follow my words in the future, you might as well go east , maybe there will be a turning point.”

After Xu Shouguang heard this, he hurriedly asked: "If there is any problem, Taoist priest, why don't you tell me directly and teach me how to resolve it."

But the sloppy Taoist just smiled and said, "The secret must not be revealed. You will know it when the time comes."

"The secret must not be leaked. My whole matter has been revealed?" Xu Shouguang lowered his head and thought. Just when he wanted to ask something more, he looked up and saw no more people in front of him. Xu Shouguang called the Taoist priest and looked around, but he never saw the sloppy Taoist again. At this time, there was a night owl crying in the forest. The sound frightened Xu Shouguang. Looking at the corpse of the mandrill lying upside down in the earth temple, Xu Shouguang did not dare to stay any longer and went back home. .
