Chapter 653 Xiaodou
"This bastard!!"
Even Ye Fan couldn't help being furious after his whole body was searched. Qiongqi on the side even screamed: "Did you steal something from me??!! Did you eat gentian?" ?”
"It should be right in front, let's chase after him quickly." He turned over and mounted Qiongqi, one person and one beast galloping towards the direction where Kongwu left.
Kongwu was obviously well prepared. When he noticed Ye Fan and the others, he quickly fled and changed his body shape, and merged into the crowd in a short time.
Instead, Ye Fan and Qiongqi were confused, and such a unique Qiongqi attracted a large group of island residents who exclaimed, and soon they surrounded them.
"That bitch is hiding." Qiongqi scolded: "He is good at deception!!"
"He stole more from me." Ye Fan replied, his eyes searching the field with a cold light.
He now understands the reason why Yang Xu is so angry. Kong Wu's transformation and deception technique is so top-notch that it cannot be detected with the naked eye. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into the trap.
I really took him as a money-grubbing Buddhist master.
"In the vast sea of people, his camouflage skills are so top-notch, how can I find him?" Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Ye Fan was a little troubled.
"I should be able to help you." When he was at a loss, Bai Ze's voice sounded.
"Can you help me?" Ye Fan was a little pleased: "Can you see through his disguise?"
"No." Bai Ze replied: "Although that guy's appearance is difficult to identify, I have already memorized his energy when we came into close contact."
"You can follow the Qi to track him." Hearing this, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "I never thought that Senior Bai Ze would have such a skill."
"One of my abilities is to recognize people's aura. This is why I can find a wise and virtuous king, and it is also why I can distinguish between good and evil, loyal and traitorous." Bai Ze replied.
"That's it." Ye Fan nodded, thinking of Qiongqi: "Can't you also know whether people are good or bad?"
"I can tell people's smells, so I can't trace them." On the side, Qiongqi also heard Bai Ze's words, and said in a strange way: "I can recognize things by smell, so why are they so like dogs among beasts?"
"You fart." Bai Ze shot back: "This is the ability only auspicious beasts have."
"It's your Rui beast thing again. We are all colleagues now, so what's the status?" Qiongqi curled his lips: "I just said that you look a bit like a dog, why are you so anxious? Generally speaking, people who are not ugly will be criticized by others. Ugly people don’t get angry. They only become anxious when they are poked in a painful spot. As the saying goes, those who don’t know are not afraid of being ugly, and those who don’t know how to be ugly are not afraid of being ugly. Those who are not dogs are also not afraid of being criticized.”
"Why are you so impatient? Could it be that you were still a dog before becoming a ferocious beast? What's going on? Did you and the Tengu come from the same source?"
"...I'm too lazy to argue with you. You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. You only take advantage of your words." It seemed that he couldn't quarrel with Qiongqi. Bai Ze did not get entangled with it and said to Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, you follow me. Go in the direction you said, and I can guide you.”
…
Snap.
In the busy city, there are alleys between the shops. At the end of the alley, there is a lonely old house. The old house is empty. There is only a boy who looks about fourteen or fifteen years old sitting on a wicker chair in a daze. His eyes are empty, like blind.
"Xiaodou, look what I brought you." At a certain moment, the door of the old house was pushed open, and an old man with white hair walked in, threw two books on the table.
"Buddhist Bible to ward off evil and overcome adversity, super magical talisman!"
"These two techniques are truly the best in the world!"
"Huh?" Xiaodou stood up, looked at the technique, and was slightly surprised: "Old Mu, did you steal something again?"
"Hey, how can a scholar's affairs be called stealing, borrowing, borrowing?" Sakuragi replied, and hurriedly picked up the book: "Let's see if these two books can help you."
When the book came to him, Xiaodou glanced at it and shook his head: "Old Mu, I am already dead. The technique will prevent me from rebirth."
"Nonsense, you are obviously living well." Sakuragi was a little angry, "You obviously can't understand. Come on, first bring the baby teeth of this ancient ferocious beast. It can dispel evil spirits."
"I'll read it to you."
As he spoke, Sakuragi opened the book and squatted next to the wicker chair without sitting down, and began to read the scriptures.
The Sutra of Fighting Calamity is in Sanskrit, but Sakuragi read it without any difficulty. While reading, he explained the meaning of the sutra to Xiaodou.
Adzuki didn't say anything, but just looked at Sakuragi quietly. After all, it was a thaumaturgy method, and some things were obscure and difficult to understand. Sakuragi didn't know how to explain it, and he even started to sweat anxiously.
"Old Mu, do you really want me to come back to life?" Looking at Sakuragi's appearance, Xiaodou suddenly asked.
"Of course." Sakuragi looked at the scriptures attentively and nodded, "You are only fifteen years old. You haven't read or gone to school yet. You haven't married a wife and have children. Of course you have to survive."
"But I am already forty-five years old this year." Xiaodou replied with a childish voice: "We have been in Fuguang Island for thirty years."
"Nonsense." Sakuragi shook his head: "You haven't survived, how can you be considered forty-five years old?"
"Of course your age in the mortal world must be calculated by your age in the mortal world. Half of your feet are in the realm of death, and these thirty years cannot be counted."
"Okay." Seeing Sakuragi's persistence, Xiaodou nodded and said nothing more. He just watched Sakuragi study the scriptures quietly. Occasionally, there would be some different kind of light in his empty eyes, and he would touch it unconsciously. There was a horrific scar on the arm.
Thirty years have passed in a flash, and the scars from the thunder tribulation he blocked for Sakuragi are still painful.
He is Sakuragi's youngest apprentice, and also his most beloved apprentice. Sakuragi, who is a fraudster, is really heavy with him. Since he accepted him in his old age, he has always brought him with him and taught him to practice as if he were his own son.
The old and the young, swindling everywhere, are quite enjoyable. But such time became hurried as Sakuragi encountered a crisis when he ascended to the throne, and the thunder tribulation that he could not survive was borne by Xiaodou.
Sakuragi brought Xiaodou to Fukumitsu Island and saved his mortal body, but the erosion of the dead world made Xiaodou look more and more like a corpse. In order to let Xiaodou pass away, Sakuragi has been cheating everywhere over the years, finding all kinds of strange and strange skills, trying to get Xiaodou out of the pull of the dead world and become a real living person.
"But it's not that easy for a dead person to come back to life."
Xiaodou sighed inaudibly, looked at Sakuragi who was still obsessed with the scriptures, and shook his head.
Thirty years have passed. He knows what Sakuragi is obsessed with. That guilt will trap him for life until he dies.
"Old Mu, take a break." After a while, Xiaodou spoke up when he saw Sakuragi still immersed in the difficult problem of the scriptures.
Sakuragi did not answer. At this moment, he was just obsessed with solving the problem.
Pa Pa Pa.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xiaodou looked at the door and saw that Sakuragi did not respond, so he stood up.
Creak.
The door opened, and in front of him was Qiongqi and Ye Fan, who looked angry.
"Are you here to find Old Mu?" Faced with such a man and a beast, Xiaodou asked calmly: "Did he steal your things?"
"Of course!" Qiongqi naturally saw his tooth necklace at a glance, and without saying a word, he grabbed it.
Xiaodou was not afraid either, and let Qiongqi take it away.
"You kid." Ye Fan, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong and looked Xiaodou up and down: "Are you dead?"
"Yes." Xiaodou nodded and replied calmly: "I've been dead for a long time. I can only survive on Fukumitsu Island."
The childish words made Ye Fan's heart waver slightly. He looked past Xiaodou and saw that Sakuragi was concentrating on his skills inside the house and didn't seem to notice the arrival of a man and a beast.
"Did Sakuragi come to Fukumitsu Island because of you?" Ye Fan thought for a while and asked: "Are you his grandson or his grandson?"
"I'm his apprentice." Xiaodou answered obediently, turned his head to look at Sakuragi, and then bowed to Ye Fan: "Sakuragi stole your things in order to let me pass away. I will ask him to return them to you later."
"Don't hit him. If you want to compensate, I can compensate you."
