Within Heyang City.
When the Ghost King deluded everyone to attack the mountain, he had bewitched the minds of all the residents near the Green Cloud Mountain range. Heyang City was a place where people gathered. Naturally, it was unavoidable. All the people in the city were not spared. Their minds were all bewitched. It was not until the Ghost King died that the people of the city were able to return.
Now that Heyang City was in ruins, the commoners hurriedly took care of their shops and prepared to resume their old business. There were countless people coming and going from the north to the south, and everyone wanted to go home safely. This made their profession, fortune-telling, very busy.
On the side of the street, there was an old wooden table with a bamboo pole beside it. On it was a canvas with the words "Immortal Shows the Way" written on it. A white-bearded, plain-looking old man, who looked like an immortal with the bones of a crane, was shouting loudly,"You can predict the future for 50 years and can predict 300 years of luck. You have an iron-mouthed divine face and can judge Yin and Yang with your brush. If you want to know the future, take a look!”
Beside him, there was a drowsy young woman. She was quite pretty and was lying on the table with a helpless expression.
Behind the two of them stood a middle-aged man. He was holding all the bags and had a strange appearance. His body was taller than the two of them by more than a head, but his face was like a wild dog, and he looked disgusted.
These three people were Zhou Yixian, Little Huan, and Daoist Wild Dog.
Zhou Yixian was gloating over his misfortune, as the fortune-tellers had been talking non-stop about his recent fortune. Under Zhou Yixian's guidance, they left as if they had been pardoned.
Zhou Yixian held ten taels of silver in her hand, the joy on her face still lingering. The amount of money she had earned in the past few days was comparable to the amount they had earned in the past few months. Just as Zhou Yixian was about to put the gold into her pocket, something flew over and snatched the ten taels of silver from Zhou Yixian's hand before jumping onto the wooden table. Zhou Yixian was just about to speak when she saw a monkey with three eyes. Xiao Huan perked up when she saw the monkey and called out,""Xiao Hui." When the monkey heard the call, it jumped into Xiao Huan's arms and gave the money it had just snatched to Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan took the money and smiled, then began to tease Xiao Hui.
Zhou Yixian, on the other hand, cursed,"Wild monkey, how dare you rob me! You're really lawless!" I'll lock you up in a cage for 20 to 30 years.”
Daoist Wild Dog thought to himself, Was there any use in reasoning with a monkey? If the monkey listened to you, then wouldn't you be the monkey king?
If Xiao Hui was here, then what about him?
Xiao Huan looked around. Sure enough, she saw a man dressed in black at the end of a street. He was slightly tall, and his face was filled with helplessness. His hair was already white, and he was holding a 'fire stick' in his hand. Xiao Huan smiled sweetly when she saw this man. This man was the Vice Sect Leader of the Ghost King Sect, Gui Li, whom she had been looking forward to. He was now Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan walked up to Zhou Yixian and said,""Senior."
Zhou Yixian laughed and said,""Isn't this Gui Li? How should I address you now? Should I call you sect master? Or should I call you the new Ghost King?"
"What do you mean, Senior?"
"Now that the Ghost King is dead, the position of sect master is vacant. Naturally, you, the vice sect master with the highest reputation, will take over.”Zhou Yixian smiled and said to Zhang Xiaofan,""Aren't you busy in the Ghost King Sect now? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're asking me to predict the Ghost King Sect's fate for you.”
Zhang Xiaofan smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't want to go back to the Ghost King Sect. Even if he went back, he would be lucky if he didn't get stabbed to death by the Ghost King Sect's people, let alone become the sect master. "I don't want to get involved in any more fights, and I don't want to inherit the Sect Master's position either."”
Zhou Yixian stroked his white beard, looking like an accomplished master."Righteous path, although demonic path has good and evil, there is no distinction between good and evil. Although the Ghost King Sect was a demonic sect, as long as their sect master was kind, the entire sect would be kind. If their sect leader was evil, then the entire sect would be evil. If you lead the Ghost King Sect well, it's not impossible for the Ghost King Sect to be recognized by the world.”
Zhang Xiaofan thought for a moment and sighed.""I have nothing to do with the Ghost King Sect.”
Zhou Yixian's face stiffened, and she smiled.""It seems that you are really open-minded, unlike those people who are greedy for fame and profit.”
Zhang Xiaofan wondered if Zhou Yixian had been possessed by some evil spirit today, as she kept praising others.
Zhou Yixian's smile didn't fade as she extended her right hand and said,""Give it to me."
Zhang Xiaofan was now a 12-foot-tall monk, and he couldn't figure it out. "I wonder what Senior wants."”
"Money!" "You've been wandering the world for many years, so you should know this, right?" Zhou Yixian shouted.”
Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say. He was a well-known and shrewd person, but he had been 'slandered' by someone here.
Zhou Yixian looked at Zhang Xiaofan and explained,""This is how we make a living. I just enlightened you. Under this immortal's guidance, you can see through everything. Then this immortal can be considered to have succeeded. It's time to collect money. Also, please return the ten taels that your monkey stole. It's a total of twenty taels of silver. Haha, since you've already seen through everything, you won't renege on your debt for worldly possessions, right?”
Zhang Xiaofan didn't expect Zhou Yixian to be so shameless, so he couldn't refute her. He searched his clothes, but after a long time, he only found five taels of silver."I only have this much. I will return the rest in the future.”
Zhou Yixian took the silver and said unhappily,""That's all. Bring more money before the next divination. It's caused me to waste so much time.”Zhou Yixian had already swindled the taels of silver, so she naturally didn't want to waste any more time on him. She turned her gaze elsewhere and saw a young man in embroidered clothes."Ah, sir, I see that your glabella is black and your face is filled with the aura of death…"
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, so he walked up to Zhou Yixian and said,""Senior, I still have something to ask."
The young man in embroidered clothes, who was reading his fortune, heard the voice and looked at Zhang Xiaofan. He was shocked. It was no wonder that the young man in embroidered clothes was shocked. Zhang Xiaofan was dressed in black, and his expression was cold. The 'fire stick' in his hand was glowing with a faint black light. It was obvious that he was not a benevolent person.
Zhou Yixian glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and said to the young master,""Don't worry about him. He was a nobody more than ten years ago. I couldn't bear it and leaked the secret to help him once. Now, he was below one person and above tens of thousands of people. His cultivation was even less comparable. These few days, he asked me to help him again, but if he divulges the secrets of heaven again, he will be punished by heaven. Therefore, he is unwilling, so we don't have to care about him.”The young man was relieved to see that Zhang Xiaofan was very respectful to Zhou Yixian despite his murderous aura. He continued to read Zhou Yixian's fortune.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to be rebuffed, and he didn't expect Zhou Yixian to be so greedy for the Heavenly Merit. He couldn't help but admire Zhou Yixian's shamelessness.
Xiao Huan hugged Xiao Hui and walked over, lowering her head."Young Master Guili."
Zhang Xiaofan turned around and said,""Miss Xiao Huan, you can call me Zhang Xiaofan from now on.”
Daoist Wild Dog also walked over. Although he did not say anything, his expression was very bad.
Xiao Huan lowered her head and replied, still standing there, as if she had used a lot of courage to slowly say,"Young Master Zhang, since you have nothing to do with the Ghost King Sect, what are your plans for the future?”
The expression on Daoist Wild Dog's face was very obvious. Envy, jealousy, hostility, hatred, and many other expressions flashed across his face. He stared at Zhang Xiaofan and prayed to the heavens that Zhang Xiaofan wouldn't follow them.
Zhang Xiaofan asked himself," What should I do in the future?
Zhang Xiaofan had planned to spend the rest of his life in Grass Temple Village, but the appearance of Biyao's soul had disrupted his life and given him a glimmer of hope. But would this glimmer of hope succeed?
Zhang Xiaofan was in a daze about the future. He lowered his head and saw that Xiao Huan was still waiting for him to answer. He casually said,"I haven't decided yet."
Was this considered an answer? Xiao Huan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with this answer. She said,"Since you don't have any plans, why don't you stay with us?”
At this moment, Daoist Wild Dog's expression was extremely ugly. It was really like a dog's face, scaring the people around him so much that they moved three meters away and took a detour. The originally noisy street became much quieter in a moment. They all gave them a large space, afraid that he would suddenly turn into a wild dog and run over to bite them.
Even the embroidered-robed young master, who was reading his fortune, turned his gaze over, prepared to escape at any moment. "Don't worry," Zhou Yixian quickly smiled."I'm here. Nothing will happen."”
The young man in embroidered clothes quickly looked at him with a questioning gaze. Zhou Yixian slowly said,""Don't panic, he's just a wild dog. I adopted him later, and because he grew up beside me, he obtained immortal energy and began to cultivate. Although he was in human form, he had the nature of a dog. He was only showing his face to get some fresh air and would not hurt anyone.”"Master, you're really an immortal. Please enlighten me on the riddle."”Zhou Yixian continued to read his fortune while the other side was quiet.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't answer. Xiao Huan and Daoist Wild Dog were focused on Zhang Xiaofan and didn't notice the changes around them. If Daoist Wild Dog had heard Zhou Yixian call him 'just a wild dog' in front of Little Huan and the others, he would have vomited blood and died on the spot.
Why was the wait so long?
Even Xiao Hui, who was in Xiao Huan's arms, scratched his head impatiently.
Finally, Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and said,""I'm only here to ask for advice.”
"Is that so?" Xiao Huan said softly. She turned around and walked into a corner. Her body was trembling slightly, and there were faint sobs. Daoist Wild Dog followed them, and the smile on his face froze. He looked at Xiao Huan crying and didn't know how to comfort her. He could only stand there foolishly.
