Eight hundred and seventieth chapters the road does not allow the devil
"It's the two of them!" A surprise and angry scream came from a nearby ship, "I'm so bold, I dare to stay in Xizhao Lake!"
The shopkeeper of Xizhao Tower led a group of friends to chase him on a boat. There were several large and small ships in the distance. When they heard the screams here, they turned the bow of the ship one after another. A figure flew into the air, faster, looking like a casual cultivator.
Mr. Qin's story was interrupted like this. He was still sitting on the cross board at the bow of the boat, without saying a word, and had no intention of escaping. He really handed over the responsibility of "protection" to Mu Xingqiu.
Mu Xingqiu put down the oars, stood up and turned to face the chaser. The first decision he made in his mind was to escape, because such a way of dealing with it was the easiest, and even more because he could do it. In this world, few people could catch up with him. As for why these people were chasing him, it was not important at all.
After a change of thought, Mu Xingqiu changed his mind. He remembered what Mr. Qin had just said, power will change a person's personality, at least change his behavioral habits. When the choices increase, people will always tend to be the simplest and most direct way, so the demon soul combined with the demon species will fight the Taoist tyrant, and Mu Xingqiu, who has strong magic power, can run away as soon as he wants.
Mu Xingqiu stood on the boat without casting any spells, not to prove that he was not affected by the power, but to experience again what ordinary people would do in this situation, which helps to figure out why the demon soul is fascinated by reincarnation.
"We are here." Mu Xingqiu said loudly, "Why do you guys chase after me? Do we owe money to drink?"
Several ships stopped and arranged in fan shapes. The one who answered the question was not the shopkeeper of Xizhaolou, but a middle-aged man floating in the air. "Hey, who is the sacred place? After learning a little spell, you dare to be so arrogant in Duanliu City? Don't you know that the head of Hong Xiuhui is here?"
Mu Xingqiu looked back at Mr. Qin. He really didn't know that there was a "Hong Xiuhui Organizer" in Duanliu City, and he had never even heard of the "Hong Xiuhui" organization. Mr. Qin still said nothing, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
"I did learn a little magic, but I don't know where to start with the word "Zhang Yang"?"
The casual cultivator in the air snorted disdainfully. The shopkeeper of Xizhaolou, who was standing on the boat, knew it was time to go on stage. He raised his arms and held some stones and iron blocks in his hands. "You use these things to pretend to be gold and silver, and eat and drink in Xizhaolou. Here is the evidence. Do you still admit it?"
Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised. Most of his gold and silver came from Xin Youtao. He was definitely real gold and silver. He had used it before and had never had any problems. If these gold and silver were really fake, it would be impossible for him to see it with his eyes.
Using the illusion of the mind to directly explore the shopkeeper's memory, you can immediately find out the truth. Mu Xingqiu resisted this small temptation and shook his head and said, "Of course I don't recognize it. Who found out that the gold and silver were fake?"
"Who else can find out? Shortly after you left, the pile of gold and silver turned into iron stone." The shopkeeper said angrily, attracting a lot of echoes. "At a glance, you are old men, who use fake gold and silver to cheat food and drink, and also called two popular singers."
The casual cultivator in the air stared at Mu Xingqiu, while Mu Xingqiu only looked at the shopkeeper. After everyone's echoes, he said, "Is there anyone from the government here?"
The middle-aged wandering cultivator said coldly: "Hong Xiuhui is the government. If you want to defend yourself, tell me."
Mu Xingqiu shook his head again, "The government should make a case impartial. You have already concluded that I am a liar, how can I be impartial?"
The middle-aged wandering cultivator's expression changed, and it seemed that he was about to attack. He could barely hold it back and slowly fell down. He stood on the water between Mu Xingqiu and the shopkeeper, and said hard: "Okay, let's do it once. The shopkeeper of Xizhaolou accused you of pretending to be gold and silver with iron and stone, handing over all the gold and silver you left, and let me verify it on the spot."
"The gold and silver have been spent, and the last point is used to hire a ship. Is the ship owner also getting iron and stone?"
The owner of the ship was not among the chasers, and the shopkeeper shouted: "It's not surprising that hiring a boat only costs more money? It's not surprising that you cheated Xizhaolou. You said that the honeysuckle was spent, and it was even more cheating. The bag around your waist was filled with fake gold and silver, do you think we couldn't see it?"
More than 40 people on five ships were staring at Mu Xingqiu's treasure bag, and even the middle-aged casual cultivator glanced quickly.
Without illusions or inquiries, Mu Xingqiu also understood what was going on. His gold and silver were not "taken" from the treasure bag, but summoned them out. In order not to make his behavior too strange, he would gently pat the bag with his hands every time he summoned gold and silver in Xizhao Building. In the eyes of outsiders, the treasure bag became an inexhaustible bag of gold and silver.
This is a group of greedy mortals, and a greedy wandering cultivator.
Mu Xingqiu waited for a while, sighed lightly, took off the treasure bag on his waist, and held it in his hand, "Since you don't believe it, then check it out, but I have to know your name first."
"Wen Huifeng, a Jindan monk from Hong Xiuhuihui." The middle-aged casual cultivator said proudly, and his eyes finally opened and stared at the treasure bag.
"The gold and silver are indeed exhausted, but there are a lot of things inside. Is their safety guaranteed?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
"Hong Xiuhui Society is the orthodox monk in the world. You are a small casual cultivator who has just mastered magic. What do you have to grab for us?" Wen Huifeng's voice was a little impatient.
That's what Mu Xingqiu actually thought. It was probably not the gold and silver that touched Wen Huifeng, but the treasure bag itself, but he still threw the bag over.
Wen Huifeng caught it, looked at the left and right sides seriously, then slowly opened the bag, and made several gestures with his fingers.
Mu Xingqiu recognized the other party's method, which was the natural Tao spell he spread back then.
Natural Taoist magic is simple and easy to learn. As long as it can be condensed into inner elixirs, even if it is a casual cultivator, it can be learned.
Wen Huifeng was checking the origin of the treasure bag, but he didn't see anything. The bag looked extremely ordinary, made of thick leather, and it was already very old, and there were not many things inside. He reached into the bag and fumbled for a long time before he took out something.
A three-foot-long demon bone flashed with a slight green light under the moonlight. The people on the five ships opposite exclaimed in unison, and the shopkeeper shouted: "Look, this is also evidence. If these two people can stuff such a big bone into a small bag, they can naturally turn iron and stone into gold and silver."
Everyone agreed again, but Wen Huifeng did not speak, but was surprised. This demon bone was of very high quality and was a rare thing. How could an ordinary cultivator have such a treasure? He glanced at Mu Xingqiu quickly, not as underestimated as he was at the beginning.
The things in the treasure bag were taken out, and all kinds of monsters and magic weapons could cause exclamation. The shopkeeper on the boat's eyes shone, and it was not his own business to seize the guests' property. Therefore, the more good things he saw, the happier he was, especially when he found the golden and silver souls, he couldn't help swallowing, and really wanted to rush over to share the spoils with the monks immediately.
Others' surprise was Wen Huifeng's panic. He placed everything in the air in front of him, and the speed of taking things was getting slower and slower, as if there were poisonous insects or mechanisms waiting for him in the bag.
After taking out at least thirty items, Wen Huifeng came out of his bag empty-handed and took out nothing. The shopkeeper said anxiously: "Is there nothing? It must be more than this little thing, but gold and silver? Old Wen, don't be alone..."
"Shut up!" Wen Huifeng shouted sternly, trying to put the things in front of him back into the treasure bag. He quietly cast several spells but did not take effect. He had to turn to Mu Xingqiu. The muscles on his face moved awkwardly, and said stiffly: "No problem, it may be that Manager Sun made a mistake, you can leave."
"What are you talking about? Old Wen..." The shopkeeper of Xizhaolou was anxious, but when Wen Huifeng's stern eyes came, he had to shut up obediently.
Wen Huifeng slowly rose into the air, "Please enjoy the lake view with all your heart. If anyone else can disturb me, just mention Wen Huifeng's name. Sorry... this..."
The monk turned around and flew into the city. The speed was very fast. Everyone who followed him was stunned and could only return one after another. Manager Sun stayed for a while, looking at the treasure bags and the rows of treasures, reluctant to leave. Finally, he was persuaded to leave by his friend. His complaint came from the dark night: "Wen Huifeng is planning to take it alone, I can guarantee that he will come later..."
Even though he knew this, Manager Sun would not dare to come back. Xizhaolou could not afford to offend Hong Xiuhui.
Mu Xingqiu waved his hand, and the demon bones and other objects automatically entered the treasure bag and flew back to his waist.
"If you solve one problem, you will cause more problems." Mr. Qin pressed his knees with his hands, like a pure old man, slowly stood up. "The temptation of power is everywhere, and ordinary humans and demons are the same, but their power is ultimately limiting, and the temptation is not burning strongly. No matter how greedy the shopkeeper is, he can only leave in disappointment when facing a powerful competitor, and he dares not touch the treasure. Wen Huifeng, if the spell is stronger, he will dare to take action in person. Now, he is going to find a helper."
The boat under her feet quickly sailed towards the darkness. Mu Xingqiu was silent for a long time and said, "Is humans and demons really worth saving?"
More than one strong man said something similar to him, but Mu Xingqiu never took it seriously, but now he has to consider it seriously.
"Are you saving the entire humans and the demon race?" Mr. Qin asked back.
Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while, "What I want to save the most is myself, and those relatives and friends I care about."
"So your problem does not exist at all. You have conflicts with Tao and demons because your path is different, and it has nothing to do with whether all living beings are worth saving. The temptation of power is like a beautiful woman. Men in the world know that they are beautiful, but men in the world want to monopolize them and cannot share them. The same is true for power. Mu Xingqiu, Tao does not tolerate demons, and demons cannot tolerate Tao, because both sides pursue the same power, and you are not tolerated because you are approaching this power."
Mu Xingqiu's heart moved, "What is the power of the demonic disaster? It is worth the Taoist dynasty to eliminate the entire Mind Heart Department?"
Mr. Qin was about to speak when a cold voice came from the air, "For more than 130,000 years, we have searched all corners of the world, demon souls, why have you been hiding?"
