19|The Bodhisattva’s View of the Skepticism of the Half-Moon Pass

Xie Ren said, “What’s wrong?”

Miroku sat, with a splayed hand, and echoed, “What’s wrong?”

Fuyao frowned and said, “What are you?”

Xie Ren said, “It’s a friend of mine. Do you guys know each other?”

Saburo was full of innocence and said, “Brother, what are these two?”

Hearing him call out to his brother, the corners of Nan Feng’s mouth twitched, and Fu Yao’s eyebrows quivered. Xie Ren raised his hand to Sanlang, “It’s fine, don’t be nervous.” Nan Feng then droned, “Don’t talk to him!”

Xie Ren said, “Why, do you know each other?”

“……”

Fuyao said coldly, “I don’t recognize it.”

Xie Ren said, “Do not know that you do what so ……” The words did not fall, he suddenly felt that there is something on both sides of the luminous, inadvertently turned back to look at the two were actually at the same time in the right hand to gather a white light, a sense of foreboding came to life, busy: “Stop stop stop. You guys don’t be impulsive!”

The two masses of white light that sprang out of thin air Zira Zira Zira looked dangerous, definitely not something that could come out of an ordinary person’s hands. Sanlang clapped his hands twice and politely cupped his hands, “Magical, magical.” These two lines of praise were truly insincere. Xie Ren easily held onto the two men’s arms, and Nan Feng looked back at him, saying angrily, “Where did you meet this man? What’s his name? Where does he live? Where does he come from? Why is he with you?”

Xie Ren said, “The one I met on the road is called Sanlang, I don’t know anything about it, and since there was nowhere else to go, I let him stay with me. You guys don’t be impulsive for now, okay.”

“You ……” Nan Feng held his breath as if he wanted to curse, forced himself to swallow and questioned, “You don’t know a thing you dare to let him in? In case he has bad intentions what should I do?!”

Xie Ren thought to himself, “Why does Nan Feng sound like his father? If it were a different Magus, or a different person, hearing a person younger than himself talking like this, would have been unhappy. But on the one hand, Xie Ren had long since become completely indifferent to all kinds of rebukes and taunts, and on the other hand, he knew that these two people were ultimately well-intentioned, so he didn’t care. At this time, Sanlang said, “Brother, are these two your servants?”

Xie Ren warmly said, “Servant is not the right word, to be exact, it should be assistant.”

Miroku smiled and said, “Really?”

He stood up, grabbed something with his hand, and threw it toward Fuyuki, saying, “A favor then?”

Fuyao grabbed something like that without even looking at it, got it in his hand, looked down, and all of a sudden, black gas washed over him.

The teenager had actually thrown a broom at him!!!!

With that look on his face, as if he wanted to split this broom and that teenager together into powder on the spot, Xie Ren hurriedly took the broom over with his hand and said, “Calm down, calm down, I only have this one.” Who knows, before the words fell, the mass of white light in Fuyang’s hand was released. He shouted sternly, “Show yourself quickly!”

Sanlang simply did not focus on dodging, still maintain the posture of sitting with arms folded, only a slight bias, the dazzling white light hit the foot of the table, the table was askew, crackling, cups and plates and bowls fell to the ground in white flowers. Xie Ren micro a forehead, think can’t go on like this, a wave of the hand, if the evil swiftly out, will be the south wind and Fu shao two arms bound. Two people struggled twice did not break away, Nan Feng angrily said: “What are you doing!”

Xie Ren compared a pause gesture and said, “Go out and talk about it, go out and talk about it.” With another wave of his hand, Ruo Xie tugged the two of them and flew out. Xie Ren turned back to Sanlang and said, “Be right back.” Closing the door with his backhand, he came to the front of the view. He first collected Ruo Xie, then took the sign that was in front of the door and placed it in front of the two of them, saying to them, “Please read it once and tell me what it is.”

Fu Yao read to the sign, “This Guan’s dangerous house is sincerely seeking good people to donate money to repair it and accumulate merit.” He looked up, “Dangerous house asking for donations? You wrote that? You’re at least an ascended Magus, how can you write such a thing? Where’s the dignity?”

Xie Ren nodded, “Yes. I wrote it. If you guys continue to fight inside, then I will be begging to build a house instead of repairing it, and then I will have even less dignity.”

Nanfeng pointed at Bodhisattva Guan and said, “Don’t you think that teenager is odd?”

Xie Ren said, “Of course I feel that.”

Nan Feng said, “Then how dare you put him around when you know he’s dangerous?”

Seeing that they had no intention of donating, Xie Ren put the sign back again and said, ”Nanfeng, that’s not right. There are thousands of temperaments and strange encounters in the world, and eccentricity does not equate to danger. It must be known that in the eyes of the onlookers, I definitely look eccentric as well, but do you guys think I’m dangerous?”

“……”

This is really can not be refuted. This person clearly looks like an immortal style and elegant appearance, but on the contrary, all day in the collection of rags, is not eccentric to the home!

Fuyao said, “Aren’t you afraid that he has something up his sleeve?”

Xie Ren asked, “What do you guys think I have to plot?”

As soon as this sentence came out, Nan Feng and Fu Yao were both immediately speechless.

This is a very reasonable question to ask. If a person was being plotted against, it was usually because they were harboring something. But the sad thing was, thinking about it carefully, I couldn’t think of anything worth scheming for in Xie Ren nowadays. To have no money and no treasure, it’s hard not to figure out the few rags he collects every day?

Xie Ren added, “Besides, it’s not like I haven’t tested him.”

The two of them stared and said, “How was it tried?” “How did it turn out?”

Xie Ren then said all those times, saying, “It was fruitless. Having already done this, if he’s not a mortal, then there’s only one possibility left.”

Absolute!

Fuyao sneered, “Maybe it’s really Jedi?”

Xie Ren said, “Do you guys think that other Jedi Ghost Kings are as idle as we are? Go to a village and accompany me to collect rags.”

“We’re not idle!”

“Yes yes yes ……”

On the hill, all three people outside the Bodhi Chestnut Guan heard only the sound of that teenager walking slowly around the house, sounding cozy as if he wasn’t worried about anything at all. Nan Feng said in a deep voice: “No. Still have to think of a way to try to see if he is Jedi.”

Xie Ren rubbed his brow and said, ”Then you guys try. But don’t make too much of a scene, he might really just be a runaway little dude? I’m quite attached to this little friend, so be friendly and don’t bully him.”

Hearing the phrase “don’t bully him”, Nanfeng looked puzzled, while Fuyao’s white eyes simply rolled to the back of his head. After instructing them, he opened the door again and saw that Sanlang was lowering his head, seemingly inspecting the legs of the offering table. Xie Ren coughed lightly and said, “Are you alright?”

Saburo laughed, “I’m fine. Was looking at the table to see if it’s still in good repair.”

Xie Ren said in a warm voice, “It was just a misunderstanding, don’t mind.”

Saburo laughed, “Now that you mention it, why would I mind? Perhaps they see me as familiar.”

Fuyao coolly said, “Yes. It looks a bit familiar, so I might have misread it just now.”

Miroku smiled and said, “Oh. Coincidentally, I see these two look a bit familiar as well.”

“……”

Although those two were still wary, they didn’t act any more aggressively. Nan Feng said in a muffled voice, “Make a space for me to draw the ‘Thousand Miles of Shrinking Earth’ formation.”

“Shrinking the earth by a thousand miles” was the art of shrinking the earth, as the name implied, shrinking a thousand miles of mountains and rivers into a single step. In addition to consuming a lot of mana every time you use it, it’s incredibly convenient. Xie Ren collected the mat on the ground and said, “Draw here.”

Just now Fuyang came in without taking a close look at the furnishings inside the view, and now after standing for a while in this crooked little shabby house, he looked around with an uncomfortable look and frowned, “Is this the kind of place you live in?”

Xie Ren brought him a stool and said, “I’ve always lived in places like this.”

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng’s movements lurched, and in a moment, he continued to draw the formation. Fuyang did not sit down, and his complexion also slightly condensed for a moment, it was impossible to say what kind of expression he had on his face, there were nine points of stunned, and one point, like gloating.

But he quickly put away the strange look and added, “Where’s the bed?”

Xie Ren hugged the mat and said, “This one is.”

Nan Feng looked up at the mat and lowered his head again. Fuyao glanced at Sanlang on the side and said, “You sleep with him?”

Xie Ren said, “What’s the problem?”

After a long time, those two didn’t hold back another word, so it seemed like there was no problem. Xie Ren then turned his head and asked, ”Sanlang ah, just now you were interrupted in the middle of your speech. What is that Half Moon Demon Road? Continue?”

Sanlang was staring at them with a thoughtful look, his gaze dark and black, and when he heard Xie Ren ask him, he came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and said, “Good.”

After a pause, he said, “That Half Moon Demon Dao is the State Master of the Half Moon Ancient Kingdom. He is one of the dual masters of the Demon Dao.”

Xie Ren said, “The Demon Road Dual Masters are bound to be two, so who is the other one?”

Sanlang answered when asked, saying, “It has nothing to do with the Half Moon Kingdom, it’s a demonic Taoist from the Central Plains called the Fang Xin Guo Shi.”

Xie Ren’s eyes widened slightly as she continued to listen.

Originally, the half-moon people have great strength, and ferocious and aggressive temperament, and is located in a strange situation, pinched the Central Plains and the Western Regions of the road between one of the important barrier, the two countries in the border land from time to time conflict, friction, the size of the numerous battles. Their master of the country know evil magic, half-moon soldiers are very convincing to it, die to follow.

However, two hundred years ago, a dynasty in the Central Plains finally sent troops to attack and flatten the Half Moon Kingdom.

Although the Half Moon Country was destroyed, the grudges of the masters and soldiers were not dispersed and stayed behind to haunt the country. The Half Moon Country was originally an oasis, but after it was destroyed and turned into the Half Moon Pass, it was as if it had been eroded by evil spirits, and the oasis was gradually swallowed up by the surrounding Gobi. It is said that at night, people often see tall Half Moon soldiers with wolf-tooth sticks wandering around the Gobi, patrolling and hunting. There were originally tens of thousands of inhabitants, but they gradually became unable to survive and moved away. At the same time, there is also a “every time you cross the border, the missing half” legend gradually spread: as long as the people from the Central Plains from here, have to leave half of the “road money” – human life! The legend has spread!

Fuyang smiled skinlessly and said, “This gentleman, you know a lot.”

Miroku laughed, “No where. You guys just know less.”

“……”

Xie Ren couldn’t help but think that this little friend was really sharp-tongued. He also heard Sanlang lazily say, ”It’s just some wild history and the sayings in the ancient books. Who knows if there really is such a national master? There may not even be a Half Moon Kingdom.”
