Cai Jinjian was walking backwards at the time. In fact, when she stepped on it, she had already realized that things were not going well.
The most unbearable thing than stepping on dog shit is, of course, stepping on it and being seen by others. What is more tragic than this is undoubtedly that the people who saw it also told you that you really stepped on dog shit.
Cai Jinjian is not a shallow woman, nor is she a delicate daughter who can't bear hardships. As one of the many descendants of the owner of Yunxia Mountain, she was able to stand out and win the final quota, which is very telling. Yunxia Mountain has a total of 18 peaks, large and small, and is surrounded by smoke all year round. The Yungen Stone produced in abundance is an important material for the Taoist Danding School to refine external pills. It is known in the world for its "flawless and spotless" and unique. Therefore, people on Yunxia Mountain must pay attention to cleanliness and elegance. Most of them have mysophobia, and Cai Jinjian is no exception. If the town had not been so implicated, Cai Jinjian would never have set foot in the town in her life, let alone walking in the Niping Lane full of chicken manure and dog shit. The most embarrassing thing was that after coming here, these immortals who were originally high and mighty, like small fish thrown ashore, suddenly lost all their support. The family that occupied a certain cave paradise, the profound cultivation that could move mountains and seas and control the wind and sky, and the mysterious magic weapons that could subdue demons and control gods and ghosts, were all gone.
Then, there was the scene of Cai Jinjian stepping on dog shit.
Fu Nanhua originally thought it was interesting that the spotless Fairy Cai of Yunxia Mountain had a boot full of sticky smelly dog shit. Who would dare to believe it if he told others about it?
But the next moment, Fu Nanhua shouted in a deep voice: "Cai Jinjian, stop!"
Standing on the mud wall, Ye Dan's pupils shrank slightly, and he clenched the dragon-carved green pendant in his palm.
In the alley, Cai Jinjian seemed to have stepped in front of Wang Gu'an in one step. Her slender hand, as crystal-clear as mutton-fat jade, slapped the top of the boy's head in straw sandals. When Fu Nanhua behind her stopped her, she suddenly stopped her palm, and finally gently lifted it up and slapped it softly. After doing this intimate action that seemed like an elder doting on a younger person, she bent down and stared into the boy's eyes, which were like a clear spring. Cai Jinjian could almost see her own face from there. It was a pity that she was in a very bad mood at the moment. She smiled and said, "Little guy, I know you deliberately slowed down when you spoke."
Fu Nanhua breathed a sigh of relief. If Cai Jinjian really dared to kill people here, she would most likely be expelled from the town, and the entire Yunxia Mountain would become a laughing stock.
His face was gloomy, and he reminded her in orthodox Mandarin: "Cai Jinjian, please think twice before you act. If you are still so impulsive next time, I think it is necessary to give up the covenant. I don't want you to make everything go to waste."
Cai Jinjian, who had his back to the young master of Old Dragon City, quickly recited in a low voice: "The upper class sees the Buddha quickly, the lower class sees the Buddha slowly... There is indeed a pure land, there is indeed a lotus pond..."
She quickly turned her head and smiled apologetically at Fu Nanhua, "I lost my composure, I promise that such a thing will never happen again."
Fu Nanhua sneered: "Are you sure?"
Cai Jinjian smiled and ignored it. Without making any solemn promises to Fu Nanhua, he lowered his head and looked at the young man in straw sandals again, and said to himself in the official language that prevailed in the continent: "My Yunxia Mountain originated from one of the five sects of Buddhism. The most important thing is to subdue the mind and restrain the will. But before I came here, I couldn't even figure out what the mind and will are. The elders of the family never wanted to force the issue, but just let me explore on my own. I never thought that today in your Niping Lane, I stepped on a pile of dog shit, which made me notice a clue..."
Wang Gu'an reminded, "Sister, you stepped on dog shit for a long time, why don't you scrape it off quickly?"
The immortal woman originally felt that she had entered a Buddhist Pure Land state of mind, but after hearing this, she immediately broke down and fell back into the secular world. Her face was livid, but Fu Nanhua's warning was still echoing in her ears. She had to vent her anger and stretched out a finger to poke the straw sandal boy's forehead heavily. She glared and said, "You are so young, didn't anyone teach you that a perverse temper is a sign of early death, and a sarcastic and mean person is a person who loses his fortune?!"
Wang Gu'an was thick-skinned and didn't care. He just looked at Ye Dan not far away and didn't say anything.
The latter jumped up and cursed: "Wang Gu'an, why are you looking at me? It's unlucky!"
Fu Nanhua was surprised to find that he had not even stepped into Ye Dan's yard. He looked unhappy and did not hide his sarcasm: "Cai Jinjian! It's really interesting that there are still people in the world who delay the path of immortality for a piece of dog shit."
Cai Jinjian was not angry for the first time. She looked deeply at the skinny boy with an unremarkable appearance and turned away.
Suddenly, the boy behind her said in a low voice: "Sister, your eyelashes are very long."
How dare a vulgar and secular ant tease the goddess of the fairy family?
Cai Jinjian was furious and turned his head suddenly.
They were determined to teach this seemingly honest but actually cunning country boy a lesson, even if it would cost them some luck. Although Cai Jinjian and his companions were like prisoners imprisoned in a cage, with their hands and feet restricted and running into obstacles everywhere, and they were temporarily unable to use any magic or tools, the benefits of practicing since childhood, such as being able to feed back to the body after entering the room, seemed to be tempering muscles and bones all the time. Although the effect was not significant and far inferior to that of martial artists who focused on this, with this foundation, it was easy for them to deal with a young man who was struggling in the mud of the city. With a casual palm, they could tamper with some important acupoints to make him suffer from illness and shorten his life.
But in the slightly dim alley, she only saw a dark face and a pair of bright eyes.
The moon rises over the sea.
Cai Jinjian's eyes first lit up, and then she felt a natural pity for him. Finally, the pity faded away little by little in her phoenix eyes. She smiled more and more brilliantly, and suddenly realized.
It is a chance to kill the inner demon.
It should be known that the Yunxia Mountain lineage, which is close to Buddha and far away from the road, has always advocated a point of view since the founder Yunxia Old Immortal: every time a cause and effect arises and perishes, it is a tribulation.
Of course, there is no theorem, constant number or pattern for this tribulation. Everything needs to be solved by the authorities.
For example, Cai Jinjian at the moment.
She felt that she had found the heart and mind that needed to be suppressed and subdued, and it was the boy who seemed innocent but was actually an obstacle.
So she raised a palm again, covered the boy's heart, and pressed it gently. All these actions were smooth and fast like thunder. Even if the boy consciously took a half step back, he still couldn't resist the attack of the tall woman.
Fu Nanhua stared at the charming and graceful back, and there was no ripple of love in his heart. Instead, he was murderous and almost condensed into a heart of stone. He deliberately concealed his murderous intention and shouted angrily: "You flicked the boy's forehead with your finger before, causing him to suffer from long-term illness. This punishment is enough! Why do you still want to, Cai Jinjian, are you crazy? Do you really want to ignore the opportunity of the great way for a lowly creature?!"
Cai Jinjian turned a deaf ear to him. Fu Nanhua lowered his voice and restored the graceful demeanor of a child from a noble family. He laughed and said: "The dignified Cai Jinjian of Yunxia Mountain is arguing with a street boy. If it gets out, won't you feel ashamed?"
Cai Jinjian turned around and said with a smile: "This alley is really meant to be to me. I never thought that I could get a chance here. Although it's not big, every little bit counts. It's a good sign. I have more confidence in that young man named Gu Can!"
Fu Nanhua was stunned.
Could it be that this woman really had an epiphany?
Cai Jinjian raised one foot and saw the disgusting filth that was unbearable to look at. She smiled and said: "I'm really lucky."
Ye Dan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and it was impossible to tell what was going on in his mind.
Shi Hui, the maid who was ignored by everyone, stood there in silence. At a certain moment, two pairs of light golden pupils appeared in her eyes, one pair of pupils.
Fu Nanhua felt a vague feeling in his heart. He turned his head suddenly and looked around quickly, but did not notice anything unusual. Finally, he looked the maid up and down and found nothing wrong. He had no choice but to regard this feeling of discomfort as Cai Jinjian's doing, which attracted the gaze of the sage in the town.
Cai Jinjian was in a good mood, and all the stagnant thoughts that had accumulated before came rushing down like a flood.
It was more than just a small opportunity?
If Yunxia Mountain, which was hollow inside, really needed a "heavy weapon of the immortal family" of sufficient weight to suppress the fortune of the mountain gate that was constantly leaking out, she also needed it to establish her position as the next mountain master. Otherwise, Cai Jinjian would have wanted to leave this place immediately and return to Yunxia Mountain to retreat for ten or twenty years.
Cai Jinjian walked towards the maid in the alley of Fu Nanhua.
The young man behind him asked, "Did you do anything to me?"
Cai Jinjian didn't even turn his head, "Little guy, you think too much."
The young man remained silent.
Cai Jinjian looked back and smiled, "You will die in at most half a year."
The young man was stunned for a moment.
She smiled softly, "You really believe it, sister lied to you!"
Wang Gu'an grinned.
Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua, the immortal couple, had an idea in their minds almost at the same time.
A frog in a well is like an ant under a mountain.
Ye Dan, who was squatting on the wall watching the show, rubbed his temples with both hands, and his face was extremely serious.
Even though Shi Hui had taken the eccentric sister to find the slug Gu Can, the young guy who spent a lot of money to be a sucker for a disagreement also walked into his yard.
Ye Dan, who was smart, was still squatting there in a daze. In the sight of the outstanding young man, there was a thin young man standing in Niping Lane. He looked at the tall woman's back for a while, and soon retracted his sight and walked towards his own gate, but the wooden gate was not opened for a long time.
Ye Dan hated this feeling very much. There was a guy who usually didn't show his strength, but at some times, he was like a stone in a toilet. If he didn't move, he would be an eyesore, and if he moved away, he would be disgusting.
So much so that the young man didn't hear clearly what Fu Nanhua said behind him.
The young master of Old Dragon City had to repeat, "Ye Dan, do you know that there is a kind of people in this world who are very different from you?"
Ye Dan finally came to his senses, turned around and continued to squat, looking down at Fu Nanhua, who was wearing a tall hat and gorgeous clothes, and said calmly: "I know."
Fu Nanhua had to swallow the words that had already come to his mouth, but he was still a little unwilling, and asked with a smile: "Do you really know?"
The young man from the small town with a mysterious life experience, with cold eyes, sneered: "Are you trying to say that they can save the dead, turn bones into flesh, live forever, and have boundless Taoism?!"
Fu Nanhua nodded and said with relief: "We can be considered half Taoist friends."
Ye Dan glanced at the gate of the next door from the corner of his eye, a little absent-minded and inappropriate.
Fu Nanhua said frankly: "Then I will speak frankly. No matter what you have, as long as you are willing to name a price, I will sell everything I have to buy it!"
Ye Dan asked in confusion: "I can see that your family background and status are superior to that woman. Since she can treat the guy next door like that, why are you willing to treat me like this..."
Fu Nanhua took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Equal?"
Ye Dan nodded and praised: "You are quite a person, and it is not difficult to talk to you."
Fu Nanhua did not care about the boy's condescending attitude, whether it was his position or his arrogant tone of speech.
Unlike Cai Jinjian who regarded the boy in straw sandals as a humble ant, Fu Nanhua not only felt close to Ye Dan, but also always had awe for the area of Niping Lane, which was hard to explain.
So Fu Nanhua really regarded the boy in front of him as a fellow traveler.
On this road, the further you go, the more noble and humble your status, the difference between men and women, and the size of your age are all false and meaningless.
Ye Dan jumped off the wall and whispered, "Let's talk inside."
Fu Nanhua nodded and said, "Okay."
When Ye Dan stepped over the threshold, he asked casually, "Just asking, what is your relationship with that sister who looks like a good childbearer?"
Fu Nanhua said without hesitation, "We are in the same group for now, but we are not on the same path."
Ye Dan said, "Oh," and said something inexplicable, "Then you are too slow in doing things, not at all smooth. I heard that the world outside is full of gods, demons, and monsters, but as long as you are a cultivator, if you have grievances, shouldn't you cut the grass and root it out forever?"
The eldest son of the Fu family is, after all, a descendant of the immortal family who grew up in Laolong City. He has seen a lot of storms and waves. After hearing these words, his face did not show any emotion.
He asked with a smile: "Do you have a grudge against each other?"
The young man opened his eyes wide and pretended to be surprised: "What are you talking about?"
It seemed that he found that the man in front of him did not believe him at all, so Ye Dan restrained the exaggerated and artificial expression on his face, took the lead in sitting on the chair in the lobby, stretched out his hand to signal Fu Nanhua to sit down, and then said seriously: "I have been neighbors with Wang Gu'an, who lost his parents when he was very young, for so many years, and we have never quarreled. Believe it or not."
Fu Nanhua instantly understood the boy's implicit meaning.
The boy next door is helpless and rootless.
If he dies, he dies, and no one will investigate the matter.
The young master of Laolong City was at a loss for words, and suddenly realized that the turmoil in this alley was a bit absurd and funny.
It can be said that the poor boy next door deliberately concealed the address of Ye Dan and his servant, which caused a sudden disaster and caused him to die.
Just now, this young man from the Ye family, who seemed to be born in a wealthy family, wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
One knife is not enough, so try another one.
Fu Nanhua could not help but feel full of emotion. No wonder it was said in "Shi Zi": The offspring of tigers and leopards, although not yet fully grown, already have the energy to eat cows.
————
In the courtyard of Gu Can's house, the child had been locked in the inner room by his mother, and the woman and the old man who called himself "True Lord" sat opposite each other.
The old man put away his palms with crisscross lines on his palms and smiled, "The overall situation has been decided."
The woman asked in confusion, "May I ask what the immortal master did just now to make Wang Gu'an..."
At this point, she found that the old man's eyes suddenly shone with a sharp edge, and she was so scared that she quickly shut up.
The old man looked toward the gate, flicked his sleeves lightly, and brought a breeze that swirled around the courtyard. The old man then said, "People of my status, if they set foot in this place, will be trapped in a helpless situation like a clay Buddha crossing a river. Although they cannot save themselves at present, the longer they go, the more... well, as Ye Dan, the young man, said, it is called dragging mud and water, and can only end up with a lot of karma. Fortunately, that person, even if he has taken a big step back, still lost his integrity in his later years and could not escape the disaster. It's a pity that the situation that was originally expected to enjoy the incense for thousands of years has taken a sharp turn for the worse, which is horrible to watch... Taking this opportunity, I can make some plans for your son, to see if I can not only end the life of that young man, but also cut off the clues of some saints and immortal masters in the future, so as to avoid the worries of settling accounts later, so that my new disciple can take the power of wind and thunder on the road to immortality in the future and finally turn into a dragon..."
The woman sat aside, listening intermittently, sweating profusely.
The old man asked with a smile: "Isn't it strange? You are obviously a person who lives in seclusion and doesn't care about worldly affairs. Why do you devote yourself to practicing Taoism? After practicing, it seems that you have only cultivated such a vicious temper? You are not much better than an ignorant village woman with shallow eye sockets like you?"
The woman hurriedly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not think so!"
The old man smiled and waited quietly for Cai Jinjian of Yunxia Mountain to knock on the door.
On the road of cultivation, there are boundless magic and infinite supernatural powers. There are big and small principles, and there are high and low ways.
Cai Jinjian regards you as ants, and doesn't this true lord regard her and Fu Nanhua as ants?
What's the point of talking to ants under your feet?
