Beauty Man: All Heavens and Immortals

Chapter 228

"what are you doing?"

Seeing that Owen destroyed the magic weapon her grandfather gave her, Xia Bing stood up angrily. Just about to question her, Xia Bing suddenly realized, pointed at Owen in surprise and said, "Do you know magic?"

Owen smiled and said, "Taoist priests know magic, is there anything wrong?"

"Daoist, since you know magic, you should know that what I said is true, and please show mercy and wipe out the goblins in my house."

Pei Rong said anxiously.

"Is there really a monster in this world?"

Pang Yong looked at Owen in a daze. He thought his martial arts were good, but he only reached the level of "hitting ten". Only characters in myths and legends can do this kind of method of extracting objects from space.

"Don't worry, there are no goblins in this city. Don't expand the inner house's rivalry to the outside. If I were you, I would think about how to win back my husband's heart instead of inviting an old lover to attack a rival. This will only make matters worse." made it worse."

Owen glanced at Pei Rong lightly, and after pointing a few words, he looked at Xia Bing who looked uncertain: "Go back, this world is like this, even a monk like your grandfather is no match for a goblin, let alone you who have the slightest Ordinary people who are not good at magic and martial arts, if they force themselves, they will only harm others and themselves, and they will not survive one episode."

"Since you are so powerful, you can teach me spells and make me a real demon faller."

Xia Bing refused to accept it.

"Cultivating the Tao is not so simple. You don't have the bones of the Tao at all. You will only be a mortal in this life."

Owen took a look at Xia Bing, and then changed his voice: "However, if you can enter the palace, you will surely soar into the sky. With three thousand favors added to your body, the world of motherhood is just around the corner."

After finishing speaking, before the three of them could react, the figure had disappeared.

"Daoist?"

Seeing Owen leave, Pei Rong was extremely disappointed, and Pang Yong had seen Owen's methods, and he no longer believed in the goblin in Pei Rong's mouth. After that, he left the city and disappeared without a trace.

Xia Bing searched the city several times, but there was no trace of Owen, and the fox tail and magic wand were gone. After thinking about Owen's warning, he sighed, prayed to the sky, and returned to Jiangdu.

A month later.

"I won."

Xiao Wei, a painted fox in a woman's attire, said to Owen who appeared with mixed feelings.

"Yes, you won, aren't you happy? Although you are only Wang Sheng's concubine now, but he sleeps with you every night, almost forgetting the real wife, even though Pei Rong has the title of wife so what?"

Owen said indifferently: "Not to mention that in a few years, Pei Rong's face will get older, but your face will never change. Wang Sheng, who has stepped on the line in his heart, will never have to go back and forth with Liu Bei after Kongming. Just like benevolence and righteousness, his person and heart are yours."

"Yes."

Xiao Wei's hoarse voice sounded, but she didn't mean much joy, she nodded slightly and said: "I did get Wang Sheng's heart, but I didn't have the joy I imagined. The sound of crying came, and I suddenly felt dull..."

"This is the world."

Owen smiled and said, "I've fulfilled my agreement, and it's time for you to fulfill yours too."

"Give you."

Xiao Wei spit out the demon pill and threw it to Owen. Her mana was greatly reduced and she could no longer control it, revealing her true nature as a demon fox.

"You are this?"

The bottle of Dingyan Pill that Owen traded was also thrown over with the Yao Pill, Owen said thoughtfully.

"I do not need it anymore."

Xiao Wei smiled sweetly. In front of Owen, she pulled back the gauze skirt, stroked the delicate painted skin for a while, and then tore it apart with her hands. A white light shot out, but it was a little fox that had returned to its original shape. Looking up with Owen.

"Forget it, let me give you a ride."

Owen waved his hand and sucked the little fox over, sacrificed his flying sword, and flew out of the city. He found a place with ample aura and no natural enemies of the fox, put the little fox down, and said with a smile: "I hope that when you transform again, Don't wear a painted skin anymore, it's really embarrassing for a vixen..."

The little fox nodded to Owen, ran into the forest, and disappeared.

path of life

Dreams are like long roads

Lu Li Fengshuang
Dry face with wind and frost

In the world of mortals

How many directions do dreams have

Looking for love in Chi Chi Dream Center
The road is endless

……

Guobei County.

A frail white-clothed scholar, with a basket on his back, traveled across mountains and ridges, and rushed here just to check the books and collect debts.

But I didn't want to see the heavy rain on the road, and met the vendettas of the rivers and lakes. I was frightened and rushed on the road in the rain. The heavy rain wet the white cloth back basket, and the black and white words inside had already become a mess, so I couldn't see clearly.

The scholar was a bit witty. Seeing that the situation was not good, he closed the account book and said with a smile, "Boss, can I have a look at your stub? This is a new rule!"

"New rules? Take a look!"

But he didn't want the cunning and cunning innkeeper to have already scanned it from the corner of his eye. He grabbed the account book in the scholar's hand, turned it over a few times, and said with a sneer, "What kind of account is this? It's so dark, it's a mess, how do you collect it?" ?”

The scholar held the account book in his arms, his face darkened, he turned his head to look at the ground, and whispered weakly: "If the account is not received, I will have no money to go back, please help..."

There was a hint of begging and shame in his gentle voice, obviously if he hadn't had to, he wouldn't have begged so humbly.

Farmers and businessmen!

In this day and age, a scholar who engages in such a cheap job because of his poor family is already underestimated by others and feels inferior to himself. Now he has to put down his face and beg a businessman. The scholar's heart is full of mixed feelings!
"Since there is no account for me in the account book, then I don't owe you any money."

The innkeeper had already seen through the cowardice of the scholar, walked out of the counter proudly, grabbed the scholar and sneered.

"You want to play tricks, if you don't leave, I'll have someone arrest you! Don't let me see you again!"

The inn owner pushed the scholar out violently, and the waiter in the inn also cooperated and threw the scholar's pannier out. After threatening the scholar, he ignored the scholar who fell in the mud and was in a mess.

Whether it was the tipping guests or the passers-by outside the inn, all of them looked numb and turned a blind eye.

In desperation, the scholar stood up, picked up the basket, and looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was dusk, he had to find a place to spend the night, so he grabbed a stall owner beside him and asked with a smile: "Boss , Where can I stay for one night for free?"

The stall owner was a little impatient. He glanced at the scholar, his heart moved, and he said maliciously: "If you want free accommodation, then go to Lanruo Temple!"

As soon as the words "Lanruo Temple" came out, the bustling market immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at him in unison, even the stall owner who said these words stared at the scholar.

Being stared directly at by so many Chiguoguo, the scholar looked around uncomfortably. As soon as his gaze came, everyone avoided him immediately, not daring to look directly at him. Even the stall owner shuddered all over. I regret that I have a cheap mouth, why did I mention this unlucky place.

"Excuse me, where is Lanruo Temple?"

The scholar didn't know why, but at the moment he was penniless and urgently needed a shelter, so he could only continue to ask.

Seeing that the scholar was really going to Lanruo Temple, everyone on the street looked over in unison, and the stall owner replied stiffly: "Lan, Lanruo Temple, walk three and a half miles east from here, there is a very It’s just a gloomy ancient temple.”

Everyone whispered behind the scholar and started discussing silently. Seeing the scholar making some moves, they immediately stopped and looked at the scholar in unison again, with extremely strange eyes.

"I'm sorry, let me, let me!"

It was approaching night, time was running out, and the scholar didn't have time to think about it. After learning the location of Lanruo Temple, he immediately walked towards the east, but before he could walk out of the market, a man suddenly appeared, took a ruler and began to measure his size.

"What are you doing?" the scholar asked puzzled.

"I not only sell paper money, but also coffins, measure it now, and then it will be useful." The man opened his mouth and said.

The scholar pushed the man away, thinking: "Could it be that he has encountered a mental illness..."

"Hey, hey, I would like to remind you that there are wild wolves in the woods ahead. They have been hungry for a long time, and they will come out as soon as it gets dark. You will definitely meet them."

The coffin seller threatened.

"Thank you."

The scholar cupped his hands, quickened his pace and left the market.

Although I was scared, it was better than sleeping on the street. In this weather, there will be heavy rain at any time. If you sleep outside, even if you don’t freeze to death, you will still catch a cold. With empty pockets, he doesn’t even have money for meals. , let alone ask for medical medicine.

Although three and a half miles is not far away, it is still quite difficult for a frail scholar who has been exhausted all day. By the time the scholar braced his exhausted body and rushed to the woods mentioned by the population, the sky was already dark. of.

He took out a lantern from his back basket and lit it. The scholar held the lantern and walked in the woods frightenedly, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, for fear that a hungry wolf would pounce on him at any time.

oooooooo!
Afraid of what to come, a few wolf howls sounded, and the scholar caught a glimpse of the hungry wolf by the faint light of the lantern. Frightened, a force surged out of his tired body, and he ran forward suddenly.

The three hungry wolves immediately followed and chased the scholar. He was about to be overtaken by the hungry wolves. Suddenly, a stone tablet appeared in front of him, and the word "Lanruo Temple" was engraved on the stone tablet.

The scholar was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran in along the stone road. When he was running, he turned his head and saw the hungry wolf with green eyes stopped there and stopped chasing him. Although he was surprised, he still didn't dare to slow down. After walking for a while, he leaned on a stone tablet to rest panting, and murmured: "Strange, strange!"

"What's so strange about that?"

A gentle laugh sounded in the scholar's ear.

"Ghost!"

The scholar yelled, ran towards the temple, and ran wildly, praying while running.

"I'm just a scholar staying overnight. I have no grievances or enmities with you. Don't come to harm me!"

"Brother, you don't talk in a strange way, but you are a scholar, so you are so timid?"

That gentle male voice followed like a shadow, but what he said made the scholar startled and stopped in his tracks.

"Yeah, I'm a disciple of a sage, how can I be so timid. Besides, even if it's a ghost, it must be a good ghost who loves humanity and enlightenment. He will definitely not persecute me."

Thinking of this, the scholar trembled and turned around to look. Under the dim moonlight, a dozen steps behind him, a young man in white stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile on his mouth.

Looking at his temperament, he is gentle and elegant, and his righteousness is brilliant. Where is there any ghost spirit?
Even so, the scholar still tremblingly said: "Brother, are you a human, not a ghost?"

"Naturally. Owen, a Taoist priest from Mount Shu, happened to travel here today. He heard that there is an ancient temple, Lanruo Temple. He came here for a visit. When he saw his brother being chased by hungry wolves, he went straight to the temple. He said hello, not wanting to be shocked. Brother, it’s really rude, don’t blame it, don’t blame it!”

Owen clasped his fists and laughed.

"So it's Daoist Ou!"

Shu let out a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and bowed his hands in return: "Xiaosheng Ning Caichen, I have met the Taoist priest!"

Owen clasped his fists and said, "So it's Brother Ning!"

"Daoist, it's so late, you said you came to visit the ancient temple Lanruo Temple?"

The scholar Ning Caichen said in surprise, "This is not a good time."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

With a smile on the corner of Owen's mouth, he said meaningfully: "Some scenery, if you don't come here at this time, you can't see its beauty."

Ning Caichen didn't understand what he meant, but he also admired Owen's elegant and calm demeanor, and sighed: "I admire, I admire, the Taoist priest is unrestrained and happy, I really envy my younger brother. Today's world is dangerous, and the Taoist priest can wander around the rivers and lakes alone , must have a unique skill, presumably the one who drove away the hungry wolf and saved the younger brother just now was the Taoist priest? Thank you, thank you!"

Owen shook his head and said, "Brother Ning, I'm overwhelmed. Although I wanted to help you just now, I didn't take action. It wasn't me who drove away the hungry wolves, but this ancient temple!"

"This ancient temple?"

Ning Caichen was stunned, and looked around. Under the dim moonlight, the ancient temple was dilapidated, decayed and decayed, and there was no one left. How can we deter the hungry wolves?

When the cold wind blows, a penetrating chill hits my heart, and I shiver unconsciously. Thinking of the strange behavior of everyone in Guobei County before, I can't help but hug the soaked basket tightly, scan around, always Feeling a dark and terrifying atmosphere shrouded in here, I couldn't help but stepped forward a few steps, approached Owen, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Dao, what do you mean by this?"

"Huh~"

Owen pretended to be surprised, and said with a light sigh: "This ancient temple is unusual, brother Ning, have you forgotten that I am a Taoist priest..."

"Daoist, what do you mean..."

Ning Caichen trembled all over, swallowed and said, "There really are ghosts in this Lanruo Temple..."

Owen didn't answer and asked instead: "Brother Ning is also a scholar. Haven't you read a few books of strange stories? In this ancient temple in the mountains, after a scholar's night's stay, most of the beautiful women come here alone, recommend themselves as pillow mats, and become a romantic legend. Brother Ning Haven't you ever had such daydreams and longed for it?"

The words aroused Ning Caichen's mind, and made him slightly lost in thought.

In other words, in this era, orthodox scholars are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and are determined to achieve great fame. They have never been ashamed to regard such strange scripts as crooked ways!
But there are tens of thousands of scholars in the world, and how many of them can leap to the dragon's gate, most of them have wasted their lives and are poor.

For this kind of scholars, although the fame and fame are far away, they still hold the scrolls tirelessly, dreaming that one day they will be named on the gold list.

In the cold night in the shabby room, there is only one shadow, how many of these scholars do not have daydreams?
At this time, the book of YY, which records the gifted scholars and beauties, and adventures, is naturally the treasure for these scholars to spend the long night.

Although the body is exhausted, the mind is freed, benefiting but not costing, why not do it.

This principle is not only applicable to this era, but it is also applicable even after hundreds of thousands of years.

For example, thousands of years later, at a certain point, all kinds of YY novels became popular, allowing many nerds to enjoy all kinds of life, enjoy themselves, and pass the boring and difficult life, which is also considered a merit!

Thinking of those legendary stories that he dreamed back at midnight, the corners of Ning Caichen's mouth could not help but twitched, and he was a little lost, but then he realized that there was someone beside him, and immediately came back to his senses, blushing and denying: "The Taoist is joking!" Yes, just kidding..."
