I am your natural enemy

The sofa man picked up the weight he threw over, with some envy in his eyes.

He originally wanted to go to Nanwu County to find Wen Yan. He wanted to meet Wen Yan in person, and it would be best to observe him for a while.

But halfway, he saw the gray-robed Taoist. He knew the gray-robed Taoist, and even knew that someone wanted to use the gray-robed Taoist's name to reorganize Taiyi Temple and put up the banner of Taiyi Temple to do things.

The Taiyi Temple was dead and injured, and the mountain gate was burned clean.

Among the remaining people, some old Taoists were completely disheartened and found a place to retreat and practice in seclusion, while many of the younger ones had gone their separate ways and went down the mountain to seek a way to survive.

There were only two or three people who could show off and reorganize the name of Taiyi Temple, and among these two or three, only the gray-robed Taoist was not too old and still had the energy to toss.

Unfortunately, the gray-robed Taoist was more determined. The altar was broken and he abandoned his own path. No one paid attention to him at all.

When the sofa man passed by, he recognized the gray-robed Taoist priest who looked at least ten years older.

However, his temperament and eyes were completely different from before.

The sofa man followed him for nearly a day and was very sure that the rumors were true. The other party had abandoned his path to Taoism. Now his spiritual platform was covered with dust and he was just an ordinary person.

He followed him silently for a day, watching his experience, his actions, and various small details. He even saw a woman who seemed to be poor in her family by her clothes. She caught up with the Taoist priest by bus and handed him a pack of homemade thousand-layer cakes and two cans of chili sauce.

The woman also said that the chili sauce was made of beans that she had dried herself and peanuts were added. It was very fragrant and delicious.

At this point, the Taoist priest accepted these kindnesses. Finally, when he left, the Taoist priest secretly stuffed some money into his pocket.

The sofa man didn't know what happened a few days ago, but he could see that the slightly stubborn and reserved woman was very grateful to the Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest was completely different from the Taoist priest in Taiyi Temple in his impression. The Taoist priest was not arrogant or complacent, and never said that he was from Taiyi Temple. He only said that he was a wild Taoist priest without a talisman.

Although he had abandoned his path to Taoism, he seemed to have gotten rid of the burden, and his spirit was very clear. He ate a cake with some hot sauce, and while he was slurping his mouth because of the spiciness, he was happy like a child who had just learned to eat spicy food. The spicier it was, the more he wanted to eat.

The sofa man followed her for a day, and when he entered the tunnel, he couldn't help but take action and saved her.

He took the initiative to tell her the information, just to see what the result would be.

He didn't expect the other party to change on the spot, and he was ready to block the evil thing.

But the result was more explosive than he thought. A drop of blood from the Taoist priest, the sudden burst of yang energy, could directly knock the evil thing away, and the force was stronger than the weight he threw at it.

This means that the Taoist only heard the news and knew the three words "cultivator", and he could seamlessly enter the threshold.

Most importantly, this Taoist's path to Taoism is now abandoned, and he can no longer open the altar to perform rituals. He can only be regarded as an ordinary person, and he does not even need to change his job.

Before the sofa man witnessed all this with his own eyes, he was actually a little uncertain.

He felt that the scorching sun shining on him might not be a big deal. The scorching sun shining on him was just a premise. This new profession with a low entry threshold was the real focus.

Is it possible that people who do not agree with Wen Yan in their hearts, who have targeted Wen Yan, or Wen Yan's enemies, cannot enter?

But now, people from Taiyi Temple can step over the threshold in one step, so what else is there to say.

Wen Yan is completely different from the former Lieyang and all the Lieyangs in the legend.

Wen Yan definitely did not target any of them.

The more he was sure of this, the more confused he felt in his heart, and the more he did not understand why Wen Yan did this.

He picked up the weight and looked at the Taoist priest who was a little dazed. There was blood oozing from his chest, and the blood was bursting with hot yang energy. He did not disturb the other party. He was going to deal with the evil creature first.

When he stretched out his hand, the weight was about to fly out, and the Taoist priest stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm.

"Show mercy."

The sofa man turned around and was stunned.

"Are you soft-hearted and repaying evil with kindness? Even if you are willing to let him go, such an evil creature will be a great disaster if you keep it."

The gray-robed Taoist priest looked at the demon who fell in the distance with a horrified face and said.

"He has no blood and no evil spirit in his eyes. He should have never harmed anyone before, otherwise I would not have been deceived.

Moreover, looking at his figure, it is obvious that this is not the first day he appeared."

At this point, the gray-robed Taoist priest looked at the passing vehicles in the tunnel, and his meaning was very clear.

It's not that he let the evil spirit go, but if the evil spirit was purely for harming and eating people, there wouldn't be too many people passing by here every day, and there would be no need to wait until now.

The sofa man looked carefully, nodded, and agreed with this sentence.

He could see this, and he could also see that the evil spirit was not unable to get off the road.

He held the weight in his hand, thought about it, and still didn't offend the Taoist priest. He didn't intervene again, and let the Taoist priest do it first.

The Taoist priest walked out step by step and came to the evil spirit. The face of the evil spirit was like a mask that fell off, constantly breaking, revealing its true face, an ordinary middle-aged man's face.

The evil spirit didn't dare to run, nor did he dare to stand up, but just stretched out his arms to cover his face and huddled up.

"You didn't harm anyone before, why do you want to harm me today?" The Taoist priest asked his doubts.

Yaoxie shrank in fear, but when he glanced behind the Taoist, he saw the man on the sofa holding a weight with a red light in one hand, with a look on his face that he would beat you to death if you dared to make the slightest move.

"I...I feel like I can leave here by borrowing your flesh and blood."

"Only my flesh and blood is useful to you? Not other passing vehicles?"

Yaoxie was startled, hesitated, and said.

"I died here in a car accident and was trapped here after my death. I saw several people stopping their cars that day, and some people went to the tunnel entrance to warn the cars behind me.

Several people stopped and tried to get me out, and one person was burned.

I have a daughter and he also has a daughter. I saw his daughter crying very sadly that day.

Every time I think I can leave this tunnel by gaining flesh and blood, I think of this and I can't bear it. "

The sofa man following behind heard this and couldn't help laughing.

"Then when I attacked the Taoist priest just now, why didn't I see that you couldn't bear it? He also transformed into someone else. It was obviously premeditated."

Yaoxie did not deny that he did have a premeditated plan because he couldn't help it anymore.

The gray-robed Taoist priest smiled and said.

"You can't suppress your instinct anymore?"

"It's a bit. Moreover, my daughter is getting married. She told me when she came here to worship me that day, but I don't think that man is a good person. He looks like a polite and animal dog. I want to leave here. I want to Go check it out.”

The gray-robed Taoist priest laughed, and the men on the sofa laughed out loud.

"How can any father-in-law in this world be pleased with the son-in-law whom his daughter has brought back for the first time?"

The gray-robed Taoist priest thought for a moment and touched his chest, feeling the strength in his chest.

He was attacked, but he didn't actually feel angry. He could calmly observe the surrounding environment and capture some details.

If he was serious about harming people and evil spirits, he would not stop the sofa man from taking action.

But these days he has walked thousands of miles and encountered many things. He has developed the habit of exploring the root of things and trying to solve problems fundamentally, rather than simply and crudely slaying demons.

He stretched out a hand and pulled Yaoxie to stand up, then pulled him and walked out of the tunnel.

Yaoxie did not dare to resist, and when he was pulled to the entrance of the tunnel, he did not dare to go forward.

The Taoist turned his head and consoled him sincerely.

"Trust me, you can just walk out. You don't need my, or even anyone else's, flesh and blood."

Yaoxie hesitated for a moment, then slowly took a step forward. His arm stuck out of the tunnel. The moment it was exposed to the sun, he couldn't help but shrink back. There were large burn marks on his arm.

The Taoist walked out of the tunnel, basked in the sun, and looked at the sky. This time, he could feel that when he was basking in the sun, the feeling of being blessed by the blazing sun became more intense.

"It should be that the Yang Qi is too strong at this time. Try again later."

After the Taoist said these words, he really stopped leaving and sat in the tunnel waiting.

Yaoxie looked at the burning marks on his arm, with a hint of joy on his face. He had been exposed to the sun once before, and his skin became scorched black. After the severe pain, he immediately lost consciousness. That was the sensation on his arm. All were burned.

Today, I was only burned. It was indeed different.

These two people looked very weird just sitting in the tunnel like this.

The sofa man also sat there, waiting quietly. Two days ago, he would not have understood this behavior.

But now, he has some understanding, and the anger in his heart is much less than before.

"Taoist Priest, how do you feel? Have you ever turned into a cultivator?" Sofa Man wanted to confirm. Moreover, he also wanted to know what it felt like to become a cultivator.

The Taoist saw the man on the sofa looking forward to it, but he didn't have anything to hide.

"I don't know, I just felt that Yang Qi was growing in my chest.

In an instant, it was like reliving the first half of his life, recognizing himself more clearly and realizing something.

I think one should be clear-minded, not flinch, face it calmly, and know what you want.

At that moment, I felt Yang energy emerging from my chest, and the power slowly spread from my chest to my limbs.

I don’t quite understand, but I think it’s not a bad thing to let it spread naturally. "

"Thank you." The man on the sofa straightened his face and bowed to express his gratitude.

He can feel the sun shining brightly, but he has never entered the realm of cultivators. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

Seeing that the Taoist was already sitting on the ground meditating, his breath was gentle, and he had obviously started practicing, he stopped disturbing him.

A few hours later, the Taoist woke up from his trance. He took out a plastic bag from his backpack, took out three cakes and a bottle of chili sauce.

"Want something to eat to cushion your stomach?"

The sofa man was not polite. In fact, when he secretly saw it before, he wanted to taste it to see what the difference was.

The pancakes were well baked and the chili sauce was indeed very fragrant, but he really didn't find anything special about it.

Yaoxie on the side was also given a piece of cake by the Taoist. Then the Taoist took out an incense stick from the bag, lit it, and put it on the cake.

"Try it, it tastes good, the cake tastes like pancake, and the chili sauce tastes like chili sauce."

Demons can be understood instantly. In Nanwu County, this statement is highly praised.

Yaoxie hesitated for a moment and stood up.

"I'll get you two bottles of water. I have mineral water stored there."

Seeing the Taoist nodding, Yaoxie immediately went to get it.

The sofa man watched the evil spirit go away. After thinking about it, he still didn't ask, "Are you afraid of it running away?"

The evil spirits are the best at deceiving people. Sofa Man believes in the gray-robed Taoist, but he doesn't really believe in the evil spirits' words, even if the evil spirits may have been human during their lifetime.

After waiting for a few minutes, no evil spirit came back. The Taoist's expression remained as usual, but the sofa man couldn't help but raise his head and look deeper into the tunnel.

"Wouldn't it be better if what he said was false? That means no one would be harmed. As long as he gives up harming others, it would be fine." The Taoist advised.

"In the past, I would have thought that eradicating this evil would be fair to everyone else. Now I'm not so sure."

"If just killing can solve the problem, things will be simpler. Unfortunately, not everything can be solved like this. This is just a helpless choice." After the Taoist finished speaking, he asked again: "Why are you unsure?"

“I wanted to get rid of Contemporary Fierce Sun before. I felt that this was the greatest fairness to other people, and I firmly believed in this.

After yesterday, I discovered that I can only do subtraction and divide cakes, and I am stuck in it and can't extricate myself.

Suddenly I discovered that I could also do addition and multiplication.

And it’s far fairer than my previous narrow-minded thinking.

Like the sun in the sky, he is the greatest fairness.

I can't blame the sun just because the trees block the sunlight from the shrubs below.

I don’t quite understand it, and there are still a lot of things I don’t understand. I want to visit Nanwu County. "

The Taoist smiled and said nothing more. He felt that this needed to be understood personally.

While the two were talking, they saw Yaoxie walking over with a few bottles of water in his arms. After putting the water down, Yaoxie was quite embarrassed.

"There is some dust and I can't find anything clean to wipe it with..."

"Thank you." The Taoist thanked him and opened the purified water.

Several people ate, and when the sun was about to set, the Taoist stretched out his hand, pulled Yaoxie, and walked out of the tunnel again.

He stood outside the tunnel, pulling Yaoxie and giving him an encouraging look. The yang energy in his chest also spread. When Yaoxie mustered up the courage to take a step, it followed his arm and slowly penetrated. On the evil spirits.

After Yaoxie walked out, he immediately seemed to be in pain. His skin was not burned, it just seemed to be a little red. He endured the severe pain and walked out slowly.

After the severe pain, there seemed to be a trace of warmth, growing out of the pain, and most of the pain slowly dissipated.

"Taoist Master, can I really come out?!" After Yaoxie came out, the aura on his body began to slowly change. The trace of evil energy turned into steam from the top of his head and slowly dissipated.

His figure also began to gradually transform into A Piao's appearance.

The Taoist smiled and was very satisfied.

"I said, you can walk out without harming anyone. If you can walk out at sunset today and be exposed to the scorching sun, then one day, you can even appear at noon. I said, you are not a monster. ”

The man immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice to express his thanks, his voice choked with sobs.

"Thank you, Taoist Master, for your advice."

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank, just thank Wen Yan. He gave you a new choice. The most I can do is tell you that you have this choice."

"Who is Wen Yan?" the man asked quickly.

"He, let me tell you slowly later."

The Taoist priest looked at the sofa man in the tunnel.

"Fellow Taoist, it's getting dark, do you want to go together?"

"It's what I asked for." The sofa man followed.

Ah Piao, who had shed her evil body, also followed the gray-robed Taoist and walked along the road.

After traveling for less than an hour, I saw a town ahead. The sofa man took the initiative to ask for a room to let the Taoist wash up after a long journey.

Entering the town, you will see snacks selling on the street, and there are many hawkers of all kinds.

The sofa man looked at a fruit shop on the roadside, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked the chief.

"Taoist priest, what do you think of those traders who are short of money?"

"Call the City Supervision Bureau."

"..."

With just one sentence, the sofa man was silenced.

Seeing the man on the sofa being silent, the Taoist priest smiled and said.

"In the past, I would have felt that no one would be disrespectful to me. Even if some small traders do this, it may be due to the pressure of life, too much pressure, etc. Now, I will call the Municipal Supervision Bureau."

"Does the Taoist believe in retribution?"

"If they are fined or given a yellow card, isn't that retribution?"

The sofa man was silent for a moment and said.

"I still don't think it's enough. It's not fair that the people who were deceived and deceived have their losses not compensated."

While the two were talking, they saw a customer coming to the fruit shop. The boss gave the customer a box and asked him to choose. After choosing, when they were weighing and paying, the sofa man had already walked up to him. He glanced at the boss's face. praise.

"Doing business is a matter of mutual consent, no matter the price, but at least the price is the bottom line. Aren't you afraid of losing your fortune by doing this?"

"Chixian, what do you mean?" The boss was furious on the spot.

"One or two taels less will reduce your fortune, two taels less will damage your salary, and three taels less will shorten your life."

The boss was furious, and instead of proving himself, he rushed out and was about to push the sofa man.

The couch man was pushed and didn't fight back. He looked back at the Taoist. The Taoist said nothing, so the couch man took out a weight, fished it out of his sleeve, and pulled out an old-fashioned steel scale covered with pulp. .

He hung the weight on the scale and wiped it with his hand, and saw that the bag of fruit was hung on the hook.

The sofa man moved the weight, and when the scale bar was stable and motionless, he said in a deep voice.

"Two taels less."

As he finished speaking, something seemed to fly out of the fruit shop owner's body and fell on the old-fashioned beam scale, and two dots lit up on the beam.

The sofa man put down the fruit, turned around and left without saying a word.

He wiped the beam, and saw that the two dots that lit up dissipated, turned into an aura that ordinary people could not see, and fell on the customer just now.

The sofa man and the Taoist priest ignored the cursing boss, and they left together. After walking a few steps, the sofa man looked at the Taoist priest and asked.

"Taoist priest, do you think I did the right thing?"
