Old age meets love [Rebirth]

Ren Xingyi glanced at him, and snorted softly: "Huh—how about money can make ghosts turn mills?"

The purpose of making deals with the monsters I raised was to earn more money; there should be quite a few people in the town who participated, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would be given to the ancestral tree.

If this result does not appear now, it will happen in the future. The ancestral tree has already developed spiritual wisdom. As long as it can survive, it will do everything.

The ancestral tree is in the center of the town. There is a sea of ​​flowers that is bigger than the outside of the town. Most of the lush jasmines are taller than people. Every year, the jasmines of the ancestral tree are sold at auction. The surrounding flower seas can be bought at will. For sale, but the wild ones may not be as good as the ones carefully raised by farmers.

Ren Xingyi and his party pretended to sit in the inn until the merchants came down to eat, and after making sure that nothing happened, they packed up their things and left. They would leave after dealing with the ancestral tree. This town was so uncomfortable.

There are quite a lot of people picking flowers around the ancestral tree, and many of them are obviously outsiders.

It happened that Ren Xingyi was also carrying a bamboo basket, and the guards thought he was also a merchant who came to pick flowers, so they let people in without looking at him. After walking for a while, Ren Xingyi suddenly remembered, and said to Zhou Ranzhi: "Second apprentice, I suddenly remembered something as a teacher."

"What?" Zhou Ranzhi grabbed a handful of Jasmine in a short time, and responded while putting it away with a handkerchief.

"Do you think the people in Fu'an Town will still lie to people to go to the teleportation formation these days?" Ren Xingyi frowned. When he rescued Zhou Ranzhi, he didn't know that the teleportation formation was actually used to grind meat. Yes, thinking about it now, the people who went in at that time probably went to see the Buddha.

When Zhou Ran heard this, he quickly said: "How about this, Master, I will go and destroy the teleportation array?"

Ren Xingyi hesitated for a while, and gritted his teeth: "Okay, you go and destroy the formation, and then find a way to lure all the people in Fu'an Town here, I can't delay any longer, I'll go discuss it with those flower demons. "

After finishing speaking, Ren Xingyi put down the bamboo basket, took off the golden bell from Ren Gaizhi's neck, and Ren Gaizhi grabbed the golden bell with his small hand.

"My dear apprentice, can I lend you the golden bell?" Ren Xingyi tried to coax Ren Gaizhi to let go, while at the same time he gave Ren Gaizhi his finger.

With fingers grabbing, Ren Gaizhi let go of the golden bell as expected.

Ren Xingyi put the golden bell into Zhou Ranzhi's hands, and explained in detail: "The golden bell is for your life-saving. In short, it has been shaking since you destroyed the teleportation array. With the golden bell around, it is not easy to die. , By the way, destroying all three at the same time, as a teacher, I always feel that it is impossible to have only one formation."

Zhou Ranyi responded one by one, and then watched as Ren Xingyi took out all kinds of strange things for him.

"This is an explosion talisman, this is an earth flame talisman, this is..." Ren Xingyi first explained to Zhou Ranzhi what the talismans are, and finally took out some bottles, "These are all poisonous powder, throw them out It works, you don't have to worry about what it is, just throw it away, and..."

There were hundreds of items added up, Zhou Ranzhi packed them up and carried them on his back, said hello to Ren Xingyi and left.

Ren Xingyi was still very worried, he always felt that Zhou Ranzhi was stupid, what if he was killed halfway!

But with Jinling around, surviving shouldn't be a problem; Ren Xingyi continued to walk towards the ancestor tree with worries about the second apprentice, and he had already written a prescription for Zhou Ranzhi to heal his wounds in his heart.

Surrounded by a large number of people, the ancestral tree is very gloomy, with a sense of oppressive weight. Red silk and satin for prayers are hung on the tree, which is black and red under the shade of the tree, which looks ghostly.

Ren Xingyi looked around, but found no one, chuckled lightly: "The people in this town are also strange, there are many guards outside, and there is no one in Zushu."

"Because they trust us." The flower demon came out slowly from under the ancestral tree, and stopped in front of Ren Xingyi, wearing a dim white dress, not like the spirit of the evening, "Why is little master here?"

"Ah, it's like this. The old monk suddenly remembered that the formation in Fu'an Town seemed to be sending people in, so the old monk's apprentice went to deal with it. People from the town will probably come over tonight. Can you come tonight in advance? ?" Ren Xingyi discussed with her in a friendly voice, after all, neither he nor Zhou Ranzhi could do anything to the people in the town, so the flower demons became the best choice.

After hearing this, the flower demon nodded, but with some hesitation on her face: "Yes, yes, but little master, you must ensure that they come here before the hour, and our actions are restricted before the hour."

This Ren Xingyi understood that souls attached to other things must act at night, and their magic power will become stronger when there is moonlight, so he said: "Yes, that's right, leave as soon as you finish your revenge, you ancestral tree ...is not a good thing."

The flower demon froze for a moment, then smiled, with a charming face: "Thank you little master for reminding us, we know, see you later."

"See you later." Ren Xingyi nodded to the flower demon, watching her hide in the shade of the tree.

Ren Xingyi weighed Ren Gaizhi, hugged him up, and looked up at the sky: "I'll just wait for tonight, I hope it's okay."

Ren Gaizhi spat out a bubble expressionlessly to show his disdain.

The sound of the golden bell can be heard far away. Just after noon, Ren Xingyi heard the rapid sound of the golden bell, and hurriedly stood up to identify the direction from which the golden bell came.

Ren Xingyi gave Zhou Ranzhi a teleportation talisman just now. If something happened, Zhou Ranzhi should use the teleportation talisman. He just needs to wait for the wine.

The sound of Jinling didn't stop until the sun was about to set in the afternoon, and then Zhou Ranzhi appeared next to Ren Xingyi. Jinling handed it to Ren Xingyi and said, "Master, this disciple destroyed all three formations. , no injuries."

"Good boy!" Ren Xingyi lightly hammered Zhou Ranzhi's shoulder, "It's good that you're not injured, and everyone has been attracted?"

"They should all come here. Tuer led them around a long way before they came here." Zhou Ranzhi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "No, I don't seem to have seen them from the shopkeeper and some..."

Zhou Ranzhi couldn't tell who they were, but they were probably the kind of people who vaguely knew what was going on in the town but didn't participate.

Ren Xingyi understood as soon as he heard it. He said, "It doesn't matter if those people come or not. How to deal with the dead depends on the dead. We think they are innocent, but the people under the tree don't think they are innocent."

From the perspective of the victim, when the incident happened, no one present was innocent, and watching with a cold eye was an accomplice.

Many people from Fu'an Town gathered in Huahai Sea. The scary thing is that there are many women among them. They hold murder weapons with the men who plan these things. If they see Zhou Ranzhi, they will probably give him a few axes.

Ren Xingyi took off the Sky Eye Talisman, sighed faintly, and handed it to Zhou Ranzhi: "Sometimes, the human heart is really the most terrifying thing in this world. You will never know that the one who gave you the knife is the enemy." Still the dearest relative."

Zhou Ranzhi didn't speak for a long time after listening to Ren Xingyi's words, because they all saw the mother of the flower demon flower Jashuali from the sky eye talisman. female.

There were also some young women in the crowd, and the excitement on their faces was utterly irrepressible—even happier than the men.

"Master, I don't understand, those women..." Zhou Ranzhi took off the Eye of the Sky Talisman, hesitant to speak, his quality did not allow him to gossip about others behind his back, but he panicked again.

Ren Xingyi took back the Sky Eye Talisman and carried the bamboo basket on his back: "I don't understand as a teacher, but we can ask Huali."

As it was getting late, some of the souls under the tree could come out. Among them were the two sisters, Huali, who were almost identical, except that Huamo was a little smaller, like a child who hadn't grown up.

"Hello, two female benefactors." Ren Xingyi stepped forward, twirling the beads, clasped his palms together and made a Buddhist salute, "I have a question, I wonder if the girl can answer it?"

Huali nodded and said with a smile, "Little Master, please."

Ren Xingyi paused for a while as he twirled the Buddha beads, as if he was afraid of touching the mind of the two ghosts, he asked cautiously: "The old monk just seemed to see your mother and some other women outside Huahai, they... don't know huh? Looks very happy."

"..." Huali was stunned for a moment, and she spoke after a while, "A person from a family can take a section of the ancestral tree back to plant. The branches of the ancestral tree will grow when they touch the soil, and the flowers that bloom , [-]% similar to the ancestral tree."

If this is the reason, then it is not surprising that the people in the town are giving people to the ancestral tree like crazy.

After all, most of the people who are the masters of the family are men, and those who don't have a man in the family have long been used by the mayor as the first batch of nourishment for the ancestral tree in the name of the ancestral tree.

Wine reddens people's faces, and money touches people's hearts. (Note: From "Zeng Guang Xian Wen")

Everyone wants something that is lucrative, and if you have it, you will want more. People's hearts can't be satisfied.

The last ray of light from the sun disappeared, and because of the sea of ​​flowers, people in the town did not dare to come in, they could only surround it. They firmly believed that the flower demon of the ancestral tree would eat everyone inside, as long as they didn't let people run out.

Today is not the fifteenth day, and the moon is not full, but the moonlight illuminates the flowers and leaves clearly. Tomorrow must be a fine day.

After worshiping the moon, the souls leave the ancestral tree one by one and fly to the people overseas.

The two sisters Hua Li walked to Ren Xingyi holding hands and said goodbye to them: "Little Master, we are leaving. If we meet in the next life, please send us a jasmine flower."

"Okay." Ren Xingyi solemnly agreed.

The two sisters turned into streamers and flew out in order to fulfill their last wish; many years later, Ren Xingyi really met the pair of sisters again, and they had a better fate at that time, and their lives would be worry-free.

Ren Xingyi remembered to bring them a bouquet of jasmine flowers to mark all the pain in the previous life.

God has eyes, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that there will be no retribution, the time has not yet come.

The hustle and bustle of Huahaihai gradually disappeared, and the shining souls dispersed little by little. The ancestral tree behind the three of Ren Renxingyi suddenly became smaller under the moonlight, and turned into a woman, who was exactly like Huali.

Ren Xingyi felt that there was someone behind him, looked back, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Does the benefactor think this old man is easy to deceive?"

Zu Shu was stunned for a moment, and didn't move forward: "No... I just..."

"Master, be careful!" Zhou Ranzhi stepped forward to block Ren Xingyi, staring at the ancestor tree vigilantly.

Zhou Ranzhi was taller than Ren Xingyi, and this block covered him completely.

Ren Xingyi poked his head out and asked the ancestor tree: "This benefactor, if you have any last words, hurry up and tell them, because you won't be able to say them later."

Zu Shu's face sank, and red light flashed in his eyes: "Human flesh is not what I want to eat, why accept me? Besides, they almost killed me, so those souls can be counted as retribution, why? Can't I?"

"This one?" Ren Xingyi pushed Zhou Ranzhi away, walked out from behind him, and took off the red threaded flower rope, "I'm here to tell you that every goblin's hit is destined to be robbed, and it was picked by the people of Fu'an Town." Dying is your calamity, you can complain but not resist, just like you can only resist the thunder calamity, if you resist the above, the number of thunder will increase."

Whether it eats people or not, the red thread looks like an ordinary red thread, without any aura, and no one will take it seriously.

The ancestor tree is the same, it has eaten too many people, its heart has long been out of order, and it looks like it wants to talk to Ren Xingyi on the surface, but it has already released a hidden weapon to kill the three of them.

Ren Xingyi's hand kept flipping the flower rope, and the red thread spread out to block the flying flower branches, sucking back the life of the operator.

"You—" Zu Shu's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately discarded those flower branches, but he was still sucked away by the red thread.

"That's it. You can only say that it's your fate. You met a town with evil intentions, and you met some people who are worse than animals." Ren Xingyi smiled and turned out the shape of a flower. Fly to the ancestral tree.

Ancestor Shu wanted to run, but when he turned around, he saw red lines in all directions, but just now it was not obvious under the night light, at this time all the red lines were glowing red, like a net.

Ren Xingyi watched the red thread tighten the ancestral tree little by little, sucking it into a dead branch, flying his fingers, and pulling out a tower: "I'm really sorry, there is a spirit for the tower, if you want the tower to fall, you have to bear the burden." fallen responsibility."

The red thread slowly retracted and turned into a thin and short red thread again and hung back on Ren Xingyi's wrist.

Only then did Zhou Ranzhi know why his master dared to go out alone without any mana. The red thread golden bell has become a spirit, right?Artifact!

Ren Xingyi looked at Zhou Ranzhi's stupefied look, smiled and shook his head, and went to pick up the dead branches left by the ancestral tree. If there is no life, it is a medicinal material, which is just right for Ren Gaizhi to transform into shape, and save Ren Xingyi A panacea.

"Master, master, your spirit weapon is so powerful!" Zhou Ran rushed to Ren Xingyi, his eyes glowed like stars.

"You will also have such a spiritual weapon in the future." Ren Xingyi gently touched Zhou Ranzhi's head, it was a pity, "If the master hadn't lost his mana, he could have made a divine weapon for you two brothers , now I can only give you the materials.”

The corners of Zhou Ranzhi's mouth suddenly bent down, he was afraid that he would talk about something unhappy about his master, Ren Xingyi must be very sad because he has no magic power, thinking of this, he also felt uncomfortable.

After Ren Xingyi put away the dead branches, he found that Zhou Ranzhi's mood was suddenly depressed, and he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? I'll tell you as a teacher, the spiritual weapon is actually the best one I made myself, more obedient, like a teacher These two have been getting along for a long time."

"No, master..." Zhou Ranzhi glanced at Ren Xingyi, looking like a child who made a mistake, "I'm afraid that you will be unhappy..."

"Hahahaha——" Ren Xingyi laughed, and gave Zhou Ranzhi a slap on the head, "No, I am very happy to be a teacher after I have no mana. Being a teacher is the happiest thing in my life.”

These words shocked not only Zhou Ranzhi in front of him, but also Ren Gaizhi in the bamboo basket.

Ren Gaizhi didn't know why Ren Xingyi said that. It was he who caused Ren Xingyi to lose his qualification to be the proud son of heaven. He was afraid of letting Ren Xingyi know everything, and he was afraid that Ren Xingyi would deny him and even leave him if he found out. he.

Ren Xingyi has always shown that he has no complaints about the loss of mana. Ren Gaizhi thinks that Ren Xingyi is not sad, but that the scars must still remain after a long time, but Ren Xingyi actually thinks so.

Zhou Ranzhi didn't expect Ren Xingyi to say that, as a cultivator, losing mana is an extremely unacceptable thing, if he loses mana and has no chance to come back, he would rather be reincarnated.

"Master, can I ask why?" Zhou Ranzhi asked in a low voice, this is what Ren Gaizhi wanted to know, and both of them quietly pricked up their ears.

Ren Xingyi patted Zhou Ranzhi on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to be so careful, it's really not sad to be a teacher. If you want to say why, it's just that you have nothing to do. Sometimes the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I don't want to be a teacher. Take up the responsibility, just want to idle clouds, wild cranes, green lanterns and ancient Buddhas."

Zhou Ranzhi raised his head: "Master, I don't understand." Everyone wants to live a better life for themselves. Many people in this world have no chance to practice. How can anyone think that losing mana will be easy?

"Second apprentice," Ren Xingyi raised his head and looked at the still bright moon with a light expression, "There are some people in the world who have worked hard to survive, and who can live in peace and stability are simply the chosen ones. It's very unfortunate , Master is such a person, as long as he can live in this world, whether he has mana is just a... icing on the cake."

Afterwards Zhou Ranzhi didn't ask again, he thought he understood what Ren Xingyi meant, he should be happy for his easy life and happy for meeting Ren Xingyi.

And Ren Gaizhi in the bamboo basket suddenly figured it out. Maybe in Ren Xingyi's eyes, not having the body of a god, being able to reincarnate, and not having to practice desperately every day is the best thing. He has a lot of time to squander, and the worst thing is to come back in the next life .

To be free and free is better than everything in the world.

The three walked out of the sea of ​​flowers. There was no bloody scene outside, just a group of people lying on the ground. If you didn't check their pulses, you would think they were just asleep.

There are still people left in the town, such as some farmers and a few inns on the edge of the town. Of course, all the merchants are still alive.

Ren Xingyi led Zhou Ranzhi out of the town, and every time he passed by, all the jasmine flowers he saw withered, not even the branches were left. When he walked all the way outside the town, Zhou Ranzhi reached out and touched a jasmine beside him—— Instantly scattered into ashes.

The two masters and apprentices looked back at Fu'an Town, and there was a dead silence inside, without the strange sea of ​​flowers and the fragrance of jasmine, this is just an ordinary town, nothing special.

"Master, where are we going?" Zhou Ranzhi blew the dust off his hands, then turned to ask Ren Xingyi.

Ren Xingyi looked up at the sky, then identified the direction, and said, "Go to Qingshui Town next door. Teacher, I remember that there is a large teleportation array, and there are mounts for sale. If we can't catch up with the teleportation array, we can also rent mounts." Go to another city."

Of course, Zhou Ranzhi was right in everything the master said. He had never been to the south, so he didn't know anything.

The three masters and apprentices continued on the road, stepping on the moonlight, step by step to the next place, there is no more jasmine in Fu'an Town behind them, and all the people with bad intentions go down to accompany the people they killed. I think they can be safe for a long time .

Qingshui Town is named after Water, but it is a town in the forest. It is built in a forest, and the houses are built on pillars. The whole town is full of small buildings, leaning against towering trees.

It was the first time for Zhou Ranzhi to see such a town, and he found everything strange: "Hey, master, master, look, their houses are so strange, why did they build them?"

Ren Xingyi held the lantern, and carefully found a clean place to set his feet. When he heard Zhou Ranzhi call him to stop, he replied, "This is a forest. There are all kinds of animals and bugs underneath, and it's very wet. You can't walk on the ground all year round. A sick room will also rot—don’t step on it, we can’t enter the house if your shoes are wet!”

"Ah?" Zhou Ranzhi was dumbfounded. He was very excited when he came to this kind of place for the first time. He just accidentally stepped on a shallow puddle and suddenly wanted to cry, "This, why is this?" Ah master?"

"..." Ren Xingyi shook his head helplessly, "Blame me, blame me, I forgot to tell you."

This Qingshui town is full of wooden houses, without bricks or tiles, so people who enter the house must be clean and refreshed. They cannot bring any water, and they cannot take a bath, eat or wash their face in the house. As long as they are wet, they cannot do anything. .

Usually merchants and tourists who come to Qingshui Town, if they want to stay in an inn, they must clean themselves in a room outside the town before entering the inn, otherwise the inn will not accept you as a guest.

When it rains, no one can go out, nor can they open the windows and doors.

Ren Xingyi paused at this point: "Well... there are not many legends about Qingshui Town, and there are no records about what will happen if the water enters the house. This is a town that was only built in the last hundred years, and there are really few records."

Because Zhou Ranzhi wet the soles of his shoes, the two of them could only wait outside the town for outsiders to dry their bodies.

Zhou Ranzhi leaned over to the fire and roasted his shoes and clothes: "But Master, don't the people from Qingshui Town come out? If they come out, they will definitely wet themselves."

"It's because they have a way to keep themselves from getting wet that people passing by are willing to come here to dry off before going in." Ren Xingyi said while adding fuel to the fire while hugging Ren Gaiyi.

The author has something to say: [End of this chapter]
