"Why did you change to selling soy milk instead of catching demons?" Siyang followed Shi'er down the hill.
He watched him pick up the stall that had fallen to the ground.
He crossed his arms and watched from the side.
He teased him a little.
Shi 'er pursed his lips, "I burned down Cui Hongjian's house, so I've already done him wrong. Even though I gave him a place to stay, I've already done him wrong.
Even though I gave him a house, that person is really stupid. I don't know why he's obsessed with painting again these few days. We live together and have to eat, so we agreed.
We'll take turns selling soy milk once a day. "
"It's really something that you guys can do." He turned his head and chuckled.
Siyang raised his hand and poked Shi'er. "I can understand why Cui Hung-chien sells soy milk.
You followed him just to eat. Shouldn't you catch demons for a living? "
He helped the stall up.
Shi'er carefully checked the belongings that he and Cui Hung-chien used to eat.
After confirming that there was no damage,
He heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he rolled his eyes at Siyang. "Do you think it's so easy to meet demons?"
"Didn't you meet two of them when you were selling soy milk?" Siyang pointed at the top of the hill.
That toad.
The toad spirit's corpse was still lying on top of it.
Shi'er was instantly stuck.
He was unable to refute.
But when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
In the past, he had followed his master around the world.
He had only met some little ghosts. It was rare to meet demons that had become demons. Once those demons could take human form, they were all people with great magic power. Ordinary mortals could not do anything to them. Mortals cultivated the Dao and cultivated magic power. In the end, they were still mortals. They would be at a disadvantage if they fought with demons.
Moreover, if demons hid among many mortals, it would not be easy to find them.
How could he be so lucky to meet demons again and again, especially this one in front of him. He could not do anything to him.
Thinking up to this point, Shi 'er glared at Si Yang hatefully. He shouldered the burden and said, "The matter just now is over. Let's go our separate ways. The next time we meet, I'll still take care of you."
Towards Shi 'er's shameless words, Si Yang didn't care at all, "I'm your savior, you want to lay your hands on me? It seems that you humans are nothing more than that. You keep talking about killing demons and being benevolent, righteous, and moral. In the end, you're still repaying kindness with ingratitude. You're a hypocrite... "
Hearing these words full of mockery, Shi 'er was not happy and turned around abruptly.
This turn was a bit too sudden. The burden on his shoulders swayed and almost fell onto Si Yang, which made her even more dissatisfied. "What, you want to make a move now?"
"You demon, you don't know what's good for you. That toad trapped you in the formation, but I saved you. Instead, you …"
Si Yang kicked the end of the pole that was swaying non-stop. Seeing that Shi 'er's feet were unstable due to the swaying, Si Yang smiled with satisfaction. "Just now, I was preparing to subdue that toad spirit. Instead, you suddenly ran out and disrupted my plans. If I didn't save you, you would have been swallowed and digested in its stomach."
He wanted to retort, but after careful consideration, he felt that what she said … did make some sense. That pebble he threw out, and then he remembered that it was also a Greater Demon. Feeling guilty, he shut his mouth.
"Even if you saved me, I won't thank you. Humans and demons walk different paths. We are born to be on opposite sides." Shi'er pursed his lips and steadied the load. He turned around and walked back to the mountain path. He had spilled the soy milk, so he could not sell it in town. He had to go back first.
Siyang didn't stop him. Humans and demons walk different paths?
Shi'er was picked up by Yan Chixia. He had a father, but … he was really pitiful. He lived a poor life with his master and was raised by him. Generally speaking, the concept of humans and demons walking different paths was taught to him by Yan Chixia. She didn't care about it. Anyway, this guy couldn't hurt her. Moreover … he was obviously tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
After watching Shi'er leave, Siyang searched around the area. She found the nest of the toad, the toad, and the Fortune Temple on the mountain.
The toad, the toad, was a wild demon. It didn't have a decent job but was full of evil tricks. It pretended to be a Taoist priest and cheated people in the world. It even got itself a concubine. When Siyang arrived, she directly told the concubine that the toad was dead.
The concubine was not a good girl. After confirming that the toad was dead, she ran into the room and took out all the money Wang Daoling had accumulated over the years. She packed her bag and was about to leave, afraid that Siyang would give her half of the money.
Siyang shook her head and refused, "Take it. But I advise you to do good with the money and accumulate some merits for yourself." Using ill-gotten money would shorten your life.
"Thank you, Miss."
There was nothing in the Fortune Temple that Siyang wanted. She came here because she wanted to absorb Wang Daoling's monster bolus.
Yes, she wanted to absorb his monster bolus.
There were two ways for monsters to increase their cultivation. One was to practice hard, like Bai Suzhen. Another way was to have evil thoughts and do evil in the mortal world, absorbing the Yang and Yin Qi of humans to increase their cultivation.
The other way was to absorb the monster bolus of the same kind.
However, this method was not safe. The Reiki in the monster bolus was mixed and violent. When absorbing it, one might accidentally go crazy and cause one's own Reiki to run amok, which could lead to self-explosion. Therefore, most people who got the monster bolus would use it as an external force to fight against the enemy.
However, Siyang was not afraid. She could use her innate strength to refine all the mixed Reiki in the monster bolus and turn it into the purest Reiki. This would definitely increase her cultivation faster.
Wang Daoling's six hundred years of cultivation was not enough. After refining a portion, Siyang's cultivation increased by three hundred years. Now, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a thousand-year-old monster.
After she came down the mountain from the Fortune Temple, she heard that Xu Xian of the Pao'an Hall in Suzhou had become the head of the Association of Three Sovereigns. On the day he took office, he used the four family heirlooms to steal the limelight.
Siyang heard this and shook her head. In the end, Bai Suzhen did not listen to her. She still let Xiaoqing steal the treasure. The only one who suffered was her husband.
"Benefactor."
"Hmm?"
Hearing the call, Siyang turned around and saw Bai Suzhen running towards her.
Siyang looked at Bai Suzhen in shock, as well as Xiaoqing in her arms, who was vomiting blood and breathing weakly. "You two …"
"Benefactor, I don't have time to explain to you. Please take my sister, Xiao Qing, to the Cool Breeze Cave on Mount Emei. There is a monk chasing after us. I will distract him first. I will not let benefactor suffer." Bai Suzhen hurriedly said. She anxiously looked behind her. She did not give Siyang a chance to refuse. She pushed Xiaoqing into her arms. "I'll go deal with that monk right now."
A monk chasing after them? It couldn't be Fa Hai, right? Didn't he come out a little too quickly?
Now was not the time to think about this. Looking at the unconscious Xiaoqing, Siyang took her and fled.
"Concubine Bai asked you to take Tsing Pao to Cool Breeze Cave. Miss Benefactor, where are you going?" As they walked, five people suddenly jumped out in front of them.
Siyang looked at the five ghosts with pale faces and the corner of her mouth twitched. "There's a Fortune Temple up ahead. Let's go there first. I have a way to save your Tsing Pao."
The five ghosts looked at each other and could only follow Siyang.
After arriving at the Fortune Temple, Xiaoqing could not maintain her human form and turned into a chopstick-sized snake. Siyang saw that her breathing was weak and seemed to be on the verge of death. The injuries on her body were also from Buddhism. Presumably, it was Fa Hai's doing.
"What exactly happened?" Siyang injected a stream of spiritual energy into Xiaoqing and gave her a pill refined from a cinnabar fruit. After stabilizing her injuries, she asked the five ghosts who followed her.
The five ghosts were Xiaoqing's underlings. After Xiaoqing followed Bai Suzhen, the five of them served as servants in the house. One of the ghosts turned into Bai Fu and walked out from the other ghosts. He said to Siyang gratefully, "Benefactor, to be honest, a few days ago, my master became the head of the Association of Three Sovereigns. The position was very shabby. Concubine Bai wanted to conjure a few strange objects to show off, but Tsing Pao went to Lin'an Prefecture's Liang Palace without permission and stole four treasures from the palace."
"And then she was discovered?"
Bai Fu sighed and shook his head, "Tsing Pao's magic was very good. She was not discovered by the people of Liang Palace. However, on her way back, she was pestered by a Taoist priest. She managed to shake off the Taoist priest with great difficulty, but the Taoist priest chased her here."
Siyang was deep in thought, "A Taoist priest? Xiaoqing was injured by that Taoist priest? "
Speaking of Taoist priests, the first person she thought of was Yan Chixia.
"Not really." Bai Fu shook his head again, "It was a monk called Fa Hai. His magic was very strong. He beat Tsing Pao to this state and even took Concubine Bai as his disciple. Fortunately, benefactor came, otherwise we would not have been able to escape."
A monk and a Taoist priest. This was going to be lively.
Bai Suzhen had gone to deal with Fa Hai. Siyang was not worried about her. Right now, she was pregnant with the Wenqu Star. That was a golden token that could save her from death. The magical instruments of the immortals could not harm her. For the sake of the Wenqu Star's safe birth, all the immortals had to protect her. Guanyin Bodhisattva would definitely watch over her.
"What a strong demonic aura."
Raising his head, he swept his gaze over the plaque of the Temple of Fortune and sniffed the surroundings. Yan Chixia's gaze gradually became serious. He had originally followed the demonic aura. A few days ago, he had been defeated at the hands of a thousand-year-old demon, but he had not given up. He had been lingering outside Suzhou all this time. Today, he had found an opportunity. The two snake demons were in trouble. One was tied down by a monk, and the other green snake was heavily injured. This was a great opportunity for him to eliminate the demons.
"Taking advantage of someone's precarious situation is not what the Righteous Path does."
The door of the Taoist temple was opened from the inside. Siyang leaned against the door and said to Yan Chixia in a kind voice, "Taoist priest, you should return to where you came from."
"You …" Yan Chixia saw Siyang and was startled. This unfamiliar face made him unable to react for a moment. Immediately after, he suddenly felt something and took a large step back. Pointing at her, he said, "You are the demon that escaped that night."
He was talking about the night Siyang had met him.
She didn't like hearing these words. Siyang put her hand on the door. "I just don't want to have any dealings with a demon hunter like you. If you talk about escaping, you're belittling the demons too much."
Yan Chixia didn't care about this. His hand was already gripping the sword on his back. "You're also in cahoots with the snake demons."
Siyang blinked and shook her head. "That's not the case."
Yan Chixia said, "Regardless of whether you are or not, evildoers should be killed by everyone."
