The next morning, Xu Xian walked out of his house, and before he could close the door, he saw Fahai standing at the end of the road.
"Xu Xian, humans and demons are destined to be apart..."
"Alright, alright, I know what you want to say, but you shouldn't have asked me about this." Xu Xian sighed with a headache, then suddenly saw Si Zang appear out of the corner of his eye and immediately understood.
Fahai turned his head and saw Sizang appear. Anger immediately rose in his heart: "You are a member of the Taoist sect. Why do you do such a thing that goes against the principles of Heaven?"
"Fahai, you're wrong about that. What do you mean by 'unforgivable by Heaven'?"
"Is it you who can't tolerate it, or me?"
"I haven't even seen anything wrong with the heavens, why are you jumping out first?"
Si Zang leaned against the wall with his hands hanging down. After waving for Xu Xian to come over, he took out a piece of pastry from his hand and handed it to him: "If you have the ability, make the heavens call out. If the heavens say you're wrong, I will definitely stand on your side."
"you!!!"
Fahai almost blurted out a curse.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about something practical. You mean humans and demons shouldn't be together, right?" Si Zang smiled and took out another piece of pastry, offering it to Fa Hai. When the other refused, he took a bite himself.
"Yes!" Fahai clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
"So you mean this is wrong?" Shizang asked again.
"Yes," Fahai answered without hesitation.
Si Zang swallowed the pastry and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you good monk, back then when Yu the Great was controlling the floods, he met the nine-tailed fox Tu Shan Shi on the way, married her, and established the Xia Dynasty. Are you saying he was wrong too?"
Hiss... Fahai's mind jolted.
Si Zang kept saying, "Don't even mention that demons are divided into good demons and bad demons. You don't say anything and you just want to destroy them. So you mean that all the demons who haven't achieved enlightenment are wrong?"
hiss!
“Fahai, I’ve heard that many bodhisattvas are actually demons, and there are quite a few demon gods in the Heavenly Court. Do you mean that being a demon is wrong? Or that not cultivating Buddhism is wrong?” Si Zang smiled and handed Xu Xian another warm pastry. Xu Xian took it obediently, held it in his hand, pricked up his ears, and carefully took a bite.
"Is Buddhism really so autocratic and tyrannical these days?" Si Zang sighed. "Does Buddhism really have the final say on everything, big or small, in the world?"
Before he could finish speaking, Fahai finally realized something was amiss and, without giving Sizang a chance to continue, immediately turned and walked out.
"Don't go, let's talk about this properly today."
Si Zang shouted from behind, then turned around and winked at Xu Xian with a smile: "Don't be afraid of this little bald guy. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to touch you."
Little bald guy...hehehe...
Xu Xian suppressed a laugh. His wife had repeatedly warned him last night that it didn't matter how much these people scolded or beat him, but he shouldn't get involved: "Thank you, Daoist Master."
"Alright, alright, go to work... cough cough, hurry up and go to the shop." Si Zang urged, and then disappeared from Xu Xian's sight.
The morning passed quickly, and the blood rain that had been dispersed by the gods yesterday became the subject of people's after-dinner conversation, slowly flowing through the towns filled with the aroma of food.
Bai Suzhen, who had prepared the meal early, escorted Xu Xian to the shop, tidied the table, and ate with him.
"How wonderful! If I could find someone like Lady White Snake, this life would be enough." Si Zang sat at a noodle stall on the street corner, leaning on his arm, looking down and stirring the noodles in his bowl with his chopsticks, extremely envious.
"Then why don't you just go and exchange one?" Tang Hong sat up straight, leaning against the wall, staring intently at his surroundings.
Si Zang shook his head: "How can that be the same? Like-minded people are hard to come by. Even if you really exchange for the person you're looking for, you still miss out on the surprise of meeting them."
"Have you ever been in a relationship?" Lin Feng asked, sipping his noodle soup. His eyes missed the rim of the bowl and looked at Si Zang.
"Hahaha, he did talk about it. On his very first day in the sect, he told his master that he couldn't bear to leave his three wives at home." Tang Hong's lips curved into the widest smile.
Three?
"From the neighbors, from school, and from my hometown," Tang Hong counted them one by one.
Lin Feng was surprised: "How old is he?"
"11 years old." Tang Hong couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You're in love, childhood sweethearts, and she even took the initiative to come to me. If I hadn't joined this sect, I might be a father by now." Si Zang said with disdain, "Have you ever been in a relationship in all this time?"
"No," Tang Hong replied matter-of-factly.
"Tch." Si Zang turned his head away.
Just then, Lin Feng and Tang Hong turned around at the same time. A figure in green robes walked from a distance, carrying a cold aura, and headed towards Xu Xian's shop.
"Look behind her."
At the sound of a warning, the four of them looked over at the same time and saw that Xiaoqing was accompanied by two female participants who were radiating murderous intent towards them from a distance.
The participant carrying the sword and Shi Wei, who used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.
"Walk."
Lin Feng stood up and walked towards the shop first.
Si Zang got up, threw down the silver, and immediately chased after them.
"Sister!" Xiaoqing stepped into the shop, her cool face immediately changing to a smile, and she took a few steps closer to Bai Suzhen: "Look, this is my new friend."
"Her name is Shi Wei, and she is a sword cultivator from the Qingyun Sect."
"Her name is Guiying, and she is a swordsmanship practitioner from overseas."
The two approached upon hearing the sound and bowed to Bai Suzhen.
"Greetings, you two..." Bai Suzhen glanced helplessly at Xiaoqing, about to say something, when Xu Xian suddenly stood up: "Wife, I just remembered something, you two talk first."
"good..."
As soon as Xu Xian walked into the shop and disappeared, Xiaoqing immediately pulled Bai Suzhen and said, "Sister, the monks from the Buddhist sect have discovered us. They are gathering high-ranking monks from all the temples in Zhejiang and Jiangsu to deal with us."
"Let's go, this will only hurt you."
Bai Suzhen's heart tightened; all the high-ranking monks in the temples of Zhejiang and Jiangsu...
"Sister! If we don't leave now, it will be too late. Xu Xian has already opened a shop and is able to help people. If you stay, you will not only fail to repay his kindness but also harm him!" Xiaoqing grabbed Bai Suzhen tightly, her worry in her eyes seemed genuine.
Bai Suzhen didn't answer for a long time until she saw the unfinished food on the table and thought of the conversation last night. Her heart warmed: "You go first, I want to stay with him."
"Sister!" Xiaoqing was suddenly filled with anger: "Are you just going to throw away a thousand years of cultivation like this? Staying here will only harm him. Come with me, that's the only way to truly save him!"
"Lady White Snake, humans and demons are different. If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid you will not only harm Master Xu." Shi Wei said, "He is human and his lifespan is no more than a hundred years. It would be enough to leave behind a beautiful memory."
Gui Ying continued, "Life is but a hundred years. You two can't live like this for a hundred or a thousand years. Why not give up on this idea sooner and let both of you reach a conclusion?"
After the two finished speaking, Bai Suzhen hesitated. Yes, wasn't the future exactly what they were talking about?
She might really need to think about it...
"How long until those monks come here?"
"The earliest is tonight, the latest is tomorrow morning," Xiaoqing replied quickly.
"You go and pack first, I'll talk to... my husband." Bai Suzhen felt a pang in her heart, having made a choice, yet it also seemed as if she hadn't made a choice at all.
