That fierce spirit's body ghost energy, also gradually became indistinct but his huge eyes, were staring at the darkness deep inside the cave. Suddenly, he gave a thunderous roar towards the deepest part of the darkness. That wild roar was like a tidal wave that could topple mountains and overturn the seas. Even the piercingly cold Yin wind actually flowed backwards. The extremely hard rock walls rumbled, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting!
In that wild roar, the fierce spirit's huge body, slowly disappeared into the darkness …
Just that, at the same time the evil spirit disappeared, he did not notice, outside the Subdue Devil ancient cave, behind that deity statue, a black figure indistinctly flashed, it was Hei Mu who instigated the southern border five tribes' internal strife, snatched back the five tribes' sacred weapons, and revived the Beast Deity.
The black and baggy long robe, as usual, enveloped Hei Mu's entire body, emitting a cold and gloomy aura. However, within his eyes, there was an extremely complicated expression flickering as he stared at the depths of the Subduing Devil Ancient Cave. When that fierce spirit, who was once his big brother, disappeared, he then slowly retracted his gaze, again, landed on that LingLong shaman lady statue beside him.
In the rustling Yin wind, he seemed to be muttering, "Lady …"
At the same time, far away from the scorched black mountain peak where the Subdue Devil Ancient Cave was, under that vast black forest, a group of several people slowly walked out. The one in front, was a beautiful lady dressed in white like snow, in her hand a blue TianYa celestial sword, her face like frost, her eyes seemed to have some indescribable sorrow and vicissitudes, silently, gazing at the distant scorched black mountain peak …
Central Plains, thirty miles outside HeYang City.
On the main road, after such a long time, most of the refugees had already returned to their southern hometown, this place was not far from the foot of Qing Yun Hill, but from time to time, ragged commoners could be seen trudging with difficulty. But in between, there were already more small merchants and peddlers, compared to a few months ago when the calamity happened, it was already much better.
"Celestial guidance, look at your half life …" suddenly, a loud shout rang out on the main road, breaking the silence here, it was extremely ear-piercing.
"Fortune, official fate, marriage, whereabouts; geomancy, physiognomy, fortune telling, bone feeling, everything, come come come, one only costs five silvers! It's too cheap … "
Tanis Ka, with the signboard of "Immortal Guide" in his hand, walked over in big strides, shouting along the way, attracting the attention of passersby.
Wild Dog Taoist following behind him did not speak, as usual he carried all the luggage.
Instead Xiao Huan behind him seemed to be taken aback, she raised her head from a black book with wordless cover which she had been reading along the way, somewhat stunned said, "Grandpa, what did you say just now, how many taels of silver per person?"
Tanis Ka turned his head, laughed, looked like an immortal descending from the sky, stretched out five fingers, and solemnly said: "Five silvers."
Xiao Huan frowned and said, "But yesterday you called for three taels of silver! Also, what's going on with you these past few days? Three days ago, we were still fine as usual, charging five silver coins per customer. But look at you. These past few days, you've been jumping up and up. From five silver coins to one tael, one day later, it became two taels. The day before, it became three taels. Today, you've just directly asked for five taels … "
Xiao Huan walked to Zhou YiXian's side, carefully assessed Zhou YiXian from head to toe, Zhou YiXian felt goosebumps from her stare, took a step back, coughed dryly and said, "You little girl, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Huan ignored him, stretched out her hand towards Zhou YiXian's forehead, Zhou YiXian was startled, stepped back again, said: "Why are you being so mysterious?"
Xiao Huan spat and said, "You are the one who is mysterious! I am checking if you are feverish, your brain is burnt and muddled! "
Speaking, she turned her head and asked Wild Dog Taoist who was following behind, "Priest, do you think my grandfather has been muddle-headed recently?"
Because it was daytime, Wild Dog Taoist, as usual, had a cloth wrapped around his face but his eyes were glistening, very bright, right now being asked by Xiao Huan, he laughed twice and then immediately nodded and said, "He, uh, I mean senior is old, inevitably a little …"
"Bullshit!"
Tanis Ka jumped up in front, raged.
Xiao Huan rolled her eyes at him, said, "Grandpa, why are you so agitated, I feel what Taoist priest said is very reasonable, looking at you these few days, I'm afraid you are really muddled."
Tanis Ka seemed to especially hate hearing the words' muddled ', became even angrier, angrily said, "What do you two know, how old are you two, how much do you know about the ways of the world, I am still …"
Xiao Huan interrupted, "Is that so, then tell us, why are you trying so hard to raise the price?"
Tanis Ka snorted, waved the bamboo pole in his hand, pointed to the sparse passers-by, said, "Look at these people, and those we met along the way, are they all refugees?"
Xiao Huan nodded, said, "That's right, everyone is! Including us too. "
Tanis Ka paused, his old face slightly blushed, then pretended not to hear.
Xiao Huan continued, "Since they are all refugees, far away from their homes, I think not many of them are thinking about physiognomy, I was still thinking if I should reduce the price, but grandpa you are good, desperately raising the price."
Tanis Ka clasped his hands behind, placed the bamboo pole behind him, sneered and said, "According to what you said, I am wrong, but look at these few days, the number of people looking for fortune-telling is less or more?"
Xiao Huan was startled, frowned, Wild Dog Taoist interrupted, said, "Speaking of which, it seems that these few days the number of people looking for fortune-telling is really more!"
Tanis Ka snorted again, a proud look on his face, said to Xiao Huan, "You are so young, what do you know? Let me tell you, in a calamity, everyone has to leave their homes, there may not be any intention of fortune-telling. But this time it is very different, the calamity is so great, rarely seen in ten thousand years, the world is in misery, everyone is in danger, who knows if they will still be alive tomorrow? Under this strange phenomenon, with me as a celestial to guide them, won't everyone rush like a flock of ducks? "
Xiao Huan lowered her head and pondered, after a long time, slowly shook her head and sighed, a trace of confusion on her face.
Wild Dog Taoist was still puzzled, couldn't help but said, "Then why do you keep raising the price of fortune-telling?"
Tanis Ka rolled his eyes, said, "This kind of profound knowledge, how can I teach you!"
Wild Dog Taoist was rebuffed, mumbled and shrank back, Xiao Huan beside him sighed and said, "This I more or less understand now."
Both Wild Dog Taoist and Tanis Ka were shocked, Tanis Ka said, "Oh, why don't you say it?"
Xiao Huan shrugged her shoulders, indifferently said, "Nothing more than you have predicted that the people of the world are in a state of panic, unable to care about their own lives, how many would care about their worldly possessions? On the contrary, the higher you raise the price, the more the common people would think that this person's cultivation is profound, extraordinary... I initially did not believe all these, thought this kind of little trick, even an idiot would be able to see through it, unexpectedly, unexpectedly there are still so many people who could not see through it. "
Tanis Ka shook his head, said, "You are wrong, Xiao Huan."
Xiao Huan was stunned, said, "What?"
Tanis Ka said, "What you said before is right, only the last sentence, it is not that they could not see through it, it is just that they themselves could not see through it."
Wild Dog Taoist was confused, said, "What could not see through it?"
Tanis Ka glanced at the people who were staggering around, said, "The common people of the world, how can they all be stupid, just that at the juncture of life and death, not knowing how many people are not willing to believe in themselves, would rather listen to the comfort of others. I pointed out the right path for them, what I said, most of them were talking about the later half of their lives, will be much better than today's situation. With these words, they will be at ease after paying the money. "
Xiao Huan suddenly said, "Grandpa, did you really said it from physiognomy, or are you talking nonsense to them?"
Tanis Ka smiled, said, "I am talking nonsense."
Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
Tanis Ka looked up at the sky, looked at the distant firmament, gazed for a long time, leisurely said, "Such a catastrophe, can only happen once but not twice, or else Heaven Dao will not tolerate it."
Speaking till here, he turned back and smiled, "Since it is so, the future days will naturally be much better than the present days of not knowing life and death, I am not a liar right? On the contrary, along the way, I have comforted and advised countless of people who were homeless and miserable, and countless of them, under my words, were reborn, the dead embers were rekindled, this merit, how can those monks and Taoists who stay in the temple all day chanting sutras achieve it? "
He stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Huan's head, his face was celestial, righteous, full of the old man's feelings of bemoaning the state of the universe and saving the world, going down to hell alone to save the common people. Even if he took this much shining white silver, it was also a righteous cause, if he did not take it, he would not be able to save the people, if he took it, it was the righteous vicissitudes of great mercy and great sorrow.
He then sighed and said, "Life, is really lonely …"
…
For a moment, there was no sound, all was silent.
Tanis Ka frowned, retracted his gaze from the high firmament, lowered his head and looked around.
…
"Hey, you two, why are you walking so fast …"
