Chapter 4
When Xu Muyang woke up, the sky was already full of stars.
There was a bonfire not far from him, and under the light of the fire, a young man was sitting beside him.
He was about to sit up, but the young man held him down: "Don't move, I just took the medicine."
medicine?
What medicine?
Xu Muyang was about to ask, but saw the medicine bottle in the boy's hand.
"Bai Yu San?" Xu Muyang exclaimed, looking at the shape of the bottle, it was clearly his own medicine.
It was only then that he realized that the drug emotion in his body had been collected by the young man, but it was placed at his feet.
"Who are you, how dare you tamper with my things?" Xu Muyang was extremely angry.
The items that monks carry with them are often related to their lives and should not be moved lightly.
His storage bag was destroyed in the last battle, so his belongings could only be kept with him. Unexpectedly, he was turned upside down by a mortal boy.
At this moment, he sat up and grabbed the air with his right hand, and a simple and heavy bronze mirror in the distance flew into his palm. Because of the use of spiritual energy, the blood in his body surged, and he spit out a big mouthful of blood, but Xu Muyang put away the copper mirror first, and then grabbed the jade slip next to him, but this time he didn't use the remote control again. The method of capturing objects in the air.
The young man replied: "I also know it's not good to rummaging through other people's things, but you and I are both injured, and if we don't take medicine, we will die."
It was only then that Xu Muyang realized that his wound had been covered with a thick layer of white jade powder, and the feeling was that the young man was changing the dressing for him.
Not only him, even the young man's back was also painted, this white jade powder is a rare thing, in fact, only a little is enough, the way the young man used it like this is simply a waste of money.
Xu Muyang's tone softened a lot: "So that's the case, but you are too bold, do you know that although the Immortal family has elixir, if you don't use it in the right way, you will not benefit from it, but will suffer from it You will die if you don’t use the medicine, and you will die if you use the wrong medicine!”
"En." Unexpectedly, the young man nodded: "I know, so I opened your wound and looked at it. I think there should be medicine on your wound. The white jade powder you mentioned, I and your wound The medicine has been checked repeatedly, so it should be right.”
Xu Muyang was completely speechless.
This boy of emotion only used the medicine after testing his own wounds. No wonder he chose the right Baiyu powder among so many medicines.
If it weren't for this white jade powder, he might not have woken up so soon.
Xu Muyang said: "The injury I suffered was trauma on the surface, but in reality it was domineering energy entering my body and disrupting my meridians. Baiyu powder can help me stabilize my spiritual energy and restore my meridians. I deliberately didn't let it heal, just to Seeing blood will take effect faster. But it is overkill to treat your trauma, and the medicine is not suitable for the disease, you should use the intermittent ointment next to it."
"So that's the case. I'm still wondering why this elixir from the fairy family can't even heal a skin wound." I felt a chill on my back, and even the pain was a little less.
He didn't ask the owner what he meant when he took the things, Xu Muyang wanted to stop him, but thinking that the other party saved him anyway, it would be stingy to stop him, so he had no choice but to give up.
The young man sat back beside him, and said, "My name is Tang Jie, the catastrophic Jie, how about you?"
In fact, last time he heard the golden-armored god calling the opponent's name, but at this moment he pretended not to know.
"...Xu Muyang." Xu Muyang replied with some reluctance.
Hearing this answer, Tang Jie smiled.
This answer means that Xu Muyang didn't find himself in the last battle.
Of course, it is also possible that they found out and didn't care. In the eyes of immortals, mortals like themselves should be like ants.
Who cares more about ants?
That being the case, then the next thing is much easier to handle.
"Tang Jie?" Xu Muyang chewed on the name and frowned: "This name is too murderous, it's unlucky!"
Tang Jie laughed and said: "When I was born, it happened to coincide with the change of the dark clouds in the Middle Earth, and the calamity of the Jinxia swallowing the moon. Some fortune tellers said that the vision in the sky is a bad omen.
It is said that I was born in response to catastrophe, and my life will bring three disasters and nine disasters. Misfortune will be suffered by the common people. I will overcome my father, my mother, my friends, my wife, all the people close to me, and even the sky, the earth, all things, and the way of heaven. I am omnipotent, so It is suggested that my parents name me Tang Jie, and the name should first respond to a calamity, or it may turn a calamity into auspiciousness. "
"Ridiculous!" Xu Muyang exclaimed: "Under the way of heaven, all things rotate, even saints and immortals can only look up, and even the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, how dare they speak out against it? This fortune teller is disobedient and speaks outrageous words. Beat to death!"
"It's not true that you can be beaten to death with a stick, but you can be beaten with a stick. Even so, my parents finally chose this name for me. Two years ago, I was in a catastrophe. Both my parents died, but I was born after death... Maybe it's because of this calamity." Tang Jie said casually.
Whether Tang Jie met Tang Jie's death and came back to life, or Tang Jie crossed over to Tang Jie, to be honest, Tang Jie himself was a little confused.
But no matter what, in this life, he is Tang Jie!
After thinking about it, Xu Muyang asked: "Are you from Xiaohe Village?"
Tang Jie shook his head: "I was just passing by, and I happened to see you pass out after killing a group of thieves."
When he said this, he patted the package that had been prepared by his side, and then handled the medicine on the ground on his own, using the medicine to hide his inner tension.
He was nervous, not because he lied, but because he lied to a fairy!
This is his first time facing a fairy!
But when they first met, they deceived the immortals, which can be described as extremely daring.
But he couldn't help it!
When Tang Jie saw this fairy in white appearing, he knew that the opportunity of his life had arrived.
The gate of immortality is hard to find, and the road to immortality is slim. Many mortals seek to become immortals, but few can achieve it.
Although he searched hard before, but he found it, it doesn't mean that the immortal will accept him.
It's just that Tang Jie knows how important it is to embark on the road of cultivating immortals in this world, so even if it's only a one in ten thousand chance, he will fight for it once.
Although he saved Xu Muyang, Xu Muyang also saved him by beheading the horse thief with his sword. Speaking of which, Xu Muyang didn't owe him anything. On the contrary, without this battle, Xu Muyang wouldn't relapse. It was he who owed the other party more.
It is precisely because of this that he cannot admit that he is from Xiaohe Village.
He wants this immortal to owe him a favor, only in this way can he possibly obtain that ray of immortal fate.
For this possibility, he can pursue and seek, he can sacrifice his life, and naturally he can also deceive.
Fortunately, when he came out, Xu Muyang was already in a coma, and it was impossible to find him, and from what he said just now, Tang Jie also judged that Xu Muyang hadn't noticed him in the last battle, so he said that he Is passing by, totally works.
The only thing he couldn't confirm was whether Xu Muyang, as an immortal, could detect his lies.
This is a gamble, gambling with ulterior motives, even immortals may not have the ability to discern people's hearts.
At least not everyone has it!
Tang Jie resolutely decided to gamble!
If he won the bet, he made a fairy owe him a favor.
Losing the bet is nothing more than a small deception, and it should not be a capital punishment.
Since this immortal is beheading demons and evil spirits, he will not behead himself just because of a lie.
Besides, so what if it was really beheaded?
If you don't become a fairy, you will become a benevolent person!
The experience of the villagers in Xiaohe Village has made Tang Jie clearly see how miserable the fate of being a low-level ant is, and Tang Jie will do everything possible to change this fate.
Sure enough, at this moment when Tang Jie said that he was not from Xiaohe Village, Xu Muyang was obviously taken aback: "You are not from Xiaohe Village? Then what happened to the injury on your back?"
"The man you beat away rode his horse and ran wildly. I couldn't dodge in time and was cut by him." Tang Jie replied calmly.
Compared with the panic in the first sentence, Tang Jie's second answer was much calmer.
The lie was not exposed at the beginning, which means that Tang Jie has won the two most important key points.
Xu Muyang was already stunned, he was stunned for a moment before he said: "So that's the case, thank you little brother for saving me."
"Immortal masters act with righteousness and kill horse thieves with righteousness. It's nothing for me to do."
"After all, it was still a step too late and failed to save the villagers of Xiaohe Village."
"I believe they will be grateful if I can avenge them." Tang Jie replied calmly, as if the villagers of Xiaohe Village really had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this expression, Xu Muyang no longer had any doubts, he could only sigh, thinking how he was involved in this heavy karma.
The Xian family emphasizes cause and effect, and if there is unresolved cause and effect, it will often leave a crack in the bottom of my heart.
This rift might not seem like a big deal at ordinary times, but one of the fourteenth ranks of the Five Realms of Immortal Cultivation is the heart demon rank.
If there are gaps in the heart, demons will arise. If there are tens of thousands of gaps, the demons will be endless. At that time, even if your cultivation level reaches the heavens and the earth, it will be impossible for gods to save you. Therefore, every ascetic needs to be careful.
It should be noted that this demon has nothing to do with morality. It does not mean that if you saved me, I must repay you, and it does not mean that everything has a cause and must have an effect. It is only related to personal character and belief.
If Tang Jie's gang is a demon who believes in the weak and the strong to repay kindness and revenge, then even if the other party gets up and beheads Tang Jie immediately, there will be no demons, because that is the way he believes in.
If he cut it, it would be in accordance with his own way. If he didn't cut it, he might have a demon in his heart.
Therefore, there is no distinction between good and evil, but just the conscious counterattack caused by the actions that the practitioners have done in the process of cultivating immortality.
It is precisely because of this that monks often have firm beliefs. Once they believe in a certain idea, behavior, or viewpoint, they will not change easily.
If there is a change in belief halfway, it is likely that you will regret what you have done, and then it will be the time when demons breed.
The original heart is hard to deceive, even if it is something you have forgotten, the original heart will still be kept in mind, and the inner demons will arise by themselves.
Xu Muyang was born in a family, although he is not a perfect saint, he still has the concept of repaying all kindness.
Now that someone "helps" him, he has to pay it back no matter what.
At this moment, he took out a bottle of elixir and stuffed it into Tang Jie's hands: "This bottle of Lingrun Dan has the effect of nourishing the soul, channeling spirits and strengthening Qi. Even if ordinary people take it, it can also strengthen the body and cure diseases. You helped me , I will give you this medicine, and you can also take the other bottle of intermittent ointment."
Cause and effect must be understood, but what happened is a matter of knowledge.
A monk has a long life, with countless events in his life, and all kinds of causes and effects are entangled in him. If everything is serious, he really can't do anything else.
Therefore, all the monks have their own ways to solve the problem. The easiest way is to use a bottle of elixir to solve everything like now.
Don't worry about whether it's enough or not, the demons come from your heart. As long as you feel that the reward is enough and you have a clear heart, then there is no problem.
Because of this, methods such as selective ignorance, self-deception, and self-comfort have become necessary homework for monks. However, if such methods are discovered and cracked, it is likely to provoke the opponent's heart and demons in a few words. defeat.
In the battle between immortals, every time someone can defeat the enemy with words, the key lies in this. For the same reason, monks mostly kept secrets about their own experiences, so as not to be caught.
Xu Muyang's self-deception method is obviously not enough, so the shot is a bottle of good Lingrun Dan, for those with thick skin and black hearts, I will give you the little white jade powder you use as a reward.
Tang Jie was considered the best among them. He cheated before cultivating immortality, but he had no guilt in his heart. He actually looked down on this panacea, put it back and said calmly: "I don't want it."
He doesn't understand demons, but he knows human feelings. To a certain extent, the two are the same thing.
Xu Muyang wanted to repay favors with a bottle of pills, that was absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing that he didn't want it, Xu Muyang hurriedly said: "If you think it's not enough, I..."
Tang Jie had already stood up: "Helping is just a matter of convenience, so don't worry about it. By the way, I think you are coming from the east, and you must be going to Anyang Mansion. I happen to be going there too. Why don't you go with me all the way? The teacher is injured, I am afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience on the way, maybe I can take care of it."
Of course Tang Jie didn't know where Xu Muyang was going, but all the way forward from here was Anyang Mansion, so it must be right to say that he was going to Anyang Mansion first.
As long as he stays with this person, Tang Jie is not in a hurry about cultivating immortals.
Years of official career made him understand that if you want to hug your thigh, you must first make that thigh like you.
On Xu Muyang's side, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
You said you just said the first few sentences were easy to do, you don’t have to worry about it, Xu Muyang thick-skinned, maybe he comforted himself and said that this is what he didn’t want me to repay, considering that the other party has not suffered any damage or sacrifice, cause and effect That's it.
I didn't expect him to pick up another sentence, let's go together all the way, but it was a bit troublesome.
The other party just helped me, if I refused, it would be too unkind and against my heart.
Cultivators do everything, but don't do things that go against their heart!
In fact, it's not impossible for him to leave now, the inner demon born of such a trivial matter may not be able to do anything to him.
After all, the calamity of the heart demon is accumulated through a lifetime of actions.
It's just a matter of cause and effect, and it is a habit that every monk has formed over the years to act in accordance with his original intention. This is like opening the door to do business. Regardless of the size of the business, every transaction must be done carefully.
At this moment Xu Muyang was thinking about it, he could only accept his companion first.
In his opinion, the other party is just a 12-year-old boy, and there will always be times when he needs his help, and then he will be free to end the cause and effect.
Knowing that Xu Muyang was willing to go with him, Tang Jie smiled happily.
The door of opportunity is open, and the next thing to do is to seize it.
Since God sent me to this world but didn't give me a golden finger.
Then create it yourself!
