Lu Xuan had no expression on his face and said to Xia Chen: "Fellow Daoist Chen, although there are rules in Wuling, monks are not allowed to fight at will, but as a witness of the bet, since Shan Yuxin dares not to abide by the result of the bet, I will follow his heart."
I vowed to kill him in front of everyone."
Xia Chen quickly returned the gift: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for taking the initiative."
He bowed to the monks who had just taken action, and thanked everyone in turn. He did not dare to lose his courtesy, but he was quite confused in his heart.
This doubt comes from the poisonous oath of the inner demon.
There is no doubt that the inner demon's poisonous oath is binding. For countless years, none of the supernatural monks who violated the inner demon's poisonous oath can escape the consequences of the backlash.
But where does this binding force come from? From the beginning to the end, no one knows. They only know that the binding force comes from the underworld, from the restraint of heaven's vows on people.
But this is actually an illusory explanation. The way of heaven is impermanent, and people have their own actions. If the way of heaven has no consciousness, how can it restrict it.
It seemed that Shan Yuxin was killed because of the backlash after violating the inner demon's poisonous oath, but Lu Xuan attacked him just to fulfill the inner demon's poisonous oath.
So, did the demon's poisonous oath take advantage of Lu Xuan's hand to backfire on Shan Yuxin, or did Lu Xuan kill Shan Yuxin in order to uphold the demon's poisonous oath?
If Lu Xuan doesn't take action, will Shan Yuxin die from the backlash of the inner demon's poisonous oath?
Xia Chen couldn't understand, but he vaguely felt a connection. It seemed that the world was covered by an invisible hand of fate. All actions and words were affected by this hand of fate.
arrangement.
He felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help but look to the sky a few times. It seemed that he could see the invisible hand of fate through the endless sky.
Of course Xia Chen didn't see anything.
But he suddenly thought of another question, this world has a sky, so if I am successful in cultivation, can I fly to the sky? Looking from the sky, this other world is also a planet like the earth, and it is also
Are there many other similar planets?
For a moment, Xia Chen felt that his thoughts were confused. He quickly sorted out his thoughts. This was not the time to think about all these things.
Although Shan Yuxin and Mr. Zhang and his wife are dead, there is still Wei Hong who has not yet been solved.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to Wei Hong: "Mr. Wei, I don't know whether I should feel sorry for you or rejoice for you. It's a pity that you lost. It's a pity that you didn't gamble your life with me, otherwise
You have already met the same fate as the two of them."
Hearing this, the squeamish girl couldn't help but turn pale and tremble all over. She had witnessed the murder of Shan Yuxin and Shopkeeper Zhang and his wife, and she had long been frightened to death. How could she dare to be more presumptuous?
Wei Hong knew what he meant, so he silently took out the storage bag, threw it over, and pretended to be calm: "This is all my wealth, and it belongs to you. As a member of the Wei family, I will naturally keep my promise."
.”
Xia Chen took the storage bag and said calmly: "Thank you very much, Master Wei. I'll take my leave."
"Wait a minute." Wei Hong said, "I have something to say to you."
Xia Chen frowned: "What, Mr. Wei still wants to ridicule the second ring stone he bought? Is it a waste stone?"
Wei Hong's face turned red. Anger appeared, but he still said calmly: "Of course not, I want you to return to me the bottle of Yuanshi marrow diluted with Yueling water."
"Why?" Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, "You want to regret it?"
"I don't want to regret it." Wei Hong said. "I have given you the storage bag, which means that I have abided by my gambling promise and no longer need to suffer the backlash of the inner demon's poisonous oath. You can give me the bottle of diluted Yuanshi Marrow again."
I, Wei Hongcheng, treat you as a favor."
He looked at Xia Chen and added: "Anyway, you have cut three pieces of marrow, and you have already obtained a lot of real marrow. It is of little use to ask for the diluted marrow. This bottle of diluted marrow
I have important uses for the Yuan Stone Marrow, so I must get it back."
Xia Chen shook his head: "Mr. Wei, since you have lost, all your things belong to me, and to be honest, what I like in your storage bag is the bottle of diluted Yuanshi Marrow.
, I really don’t like the rest. You asked me to return it to you with just one sentence, and you only intend to accept my personal favor. To put it bluntly, your favor is too big, so it is difficult to comply with this request. "
Everyone laughed and said, "The Wei family is a marrow-appraisal family, so of course they have a lot of face. A child of the Wei family with a second level of supernatural power can exchange a bottle of diluted Yuanshi marrow for just one favor. It's really a huge favor."
Wei Hong's face turned red. Although he was young and energetic, he knew that his demands were indeed too much.
However, this bottle of Yuelingyuan stone marrow was given to him personally by the head of the Wei family, and was to be given to an important person. Moreover, his father repeatedly told him before leaving that he must keep it well and make sure nothing goes wrong.
As a result, he was so excited that he actually lost all his wealth to Xia Chen. How could he complete the task assigned by his father? What else would he give to others?
Is it a gift of goose feathers? Is it a matter of courtesy but affection? Then he has really lived enough.
He gritted his teeth: "Chen Xia, I know my request is a bit excessive, but don't forget that I am from the Wei family. Although you are a casual cultivator from other places, you should have heard of the Wei family's name. If you
If you don't return the stone marrow to me, it will be like offending my guard.
Family, this consequence is not something that a small casual cultivator like you can afford. If you return it to me, although I can’t give you anything, I owe you a favor. I guarantee that everything you do in Wuling will be much more convenient. Where to go?
Just think about it."
There was a threat in these words. Not to mention Xia Chen, even the faces of the spectators could not help but turn cold.
Lu Xuan frowned and said: "Mr. Wei, although the Wei family is very important near Wuling, I am afraid that you alone cannot represent the name of the Wei family. You cannot make a difference in everything. If you lose, you can use the name of the Wei family to give the name to Chen Daoyou."
Pressure, asking him to hand over Yuanshi Marrow, would be too overbearing and would not be good for the reputation of the Wei family."
"Yes, although you are a member of the Wei family, you are willing to admit defeat. Why do you want someone to hand over such a valuable thing for a favor? Can you, the Wei family, use your power to overwhelm others?" Others also followed suit.
echoed.
Originally, Wei Hong was a member of the Wei family and took advantage of the landlords around Wuling. However, first he lost people's hearts with his strong words in the gambling game, and then he tried to use his power to rob others, which aroused everyone's sympathy.
, all accused him.
Wei Hong had never been in such a predicament before, and his face turned red. The wisest thing to do at this time was to retreat and secretly ask Xia Chen for help.
But the bottle of Yuan Stone Marrow is too important to Wei Hong, and the territory around Wuling is so large. If Xia Chen finds a chance to escape, it will be difficult to find it again, and he can't use the power of his family.
Otherwise, as long as someone knows about it, he will be miserable.
Thinking of this, Wei Hong also risked his life and glared at Xia Chen with red eyes: "Chen Xia. I'm going to put this aside today. If you don't give me Yuanshi Marrow, you can't even think about leaving."
As he spoke, the aura of his divine mind burst out unconsciously, as if he was preparing to rob it in public.
Xia Chen looked at him and shook his head helplessly: "Master Wei, you have lost your temper. If you plan to steal my Yuan Stone Marrow, then you will not only put yourself, but also the Wei family into a very disadvantageous situation.
situation, please think twice."
Everyone looked at Wei Hong coldly. Many people showed hostility unabashedly. Lu Xuan and several other powerful magical monks even leaned towards Xia Chen, obviously wanting to protect Xia Chen.
When Xia Chen saw it, his heart couldn't help but move.
Since practicing Taoism, the monks he has seen are either wise and self-protective, or they are only thinking about their own interests. Very few of them stand up for others, and more often they take advantage of others and add insult to injury.
As for being a chivalrous person and doing justice for heaven, most people have no idea of this at all.
Unexpectedly, the monks in Wuling were different. Although they were facing powerful members of the Wei family, they did not protect themselves wisely and remained indifferent. Instead, they stood up for him, an unrelated non-local cultivator.
Apart from anything else, this kind of atmosphere made Xia Chen feel quite warm in his heart. Compared with the Alliance and Tianlan Sect, they were two extremes.
Wei Hong gritted his teeth and really didn't know what to do. If he just retreated, he would certainly not be willing to do so. But if he really took action rashly, no one would agree, let alone whether he could control Xia Chen.
Lu Xuan shouted: "Master Wei Hongwei, considering that you are a member of the Wei family, we will not embarrass you, but please leave quickly and stop harassing Daoist Chen."
Wei Hong didn't seem to hear anything, but looked at Xia Chen intently. After a while, his tone finally softened: "This bottle of Yuan Stone Marrow is really useful to me. Please...Brother Chen, give it back to me, you
If you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them."
Xia Chen smiled faintly: "Have you finally learned to speak properly? No more threatening me? In fact, I have the real Yuanshi Marrow. The diluted marrow fluid of yours is indeed of little use, and I am not an unreasonable person.
, but one code equals another, if you want to use the Wei family to suppress me and threaten me, then I can’t give it to you even if I destroy this bottle of Yuan Stone Marrow.”
Wei Hong was very upset. If he had known this, why would he be so poor? He thought he could suppress the opponent. He didn't expect to meet a master who would accept softness but not hardness. Why bother?
He gritted his teeth and said: "What Fellow Daoist Chen is blaming is that my cousin Meng Lang and I were the first to keep you company here. I also asked Master Daoyou Chen to return this bottle of Yuanshi Marrow to me in large quantities. I am now penniless."
Wen, I can't compensate you accordingly, but if there are any conditions, Chen Daoyou can propose them. If I, Wei Hong, have the ability, I will definitely repay you in the future."
Everyone heard that his tone softened and their expressions softened, and they couldn't help but look at Xia Chen.
After all, Yuan Stone Marrow now belongs to Xia Chen, and it is his own business to return it. Moreover, the Wei family is indeed very important. As a casual cultivator, Xia Chen naturally has to think about it.
Shui Xia pouted and said: "If I didn't return the Yuan Stone Marrow that I spent so much money on, why would I return it to that Young Master Wei so easily? Who made him willing to gamble in the first place?
That’s what you deserve.”
"That's right." Minghe clearly agreed.
Rongrong smiled slightly: "There is a saying that you should spare others when you are willing to spare them. Chen Xia and the Wei family do not have a life-and-death conflict. This bottle of diluted Yuanshi marrow is indeed of no use to him now. So let's borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.
Wouldn't it be better if the Wei family owes him a huge favor? Why bother making enemies everywhere and offending everyone, that would be unwise."
Sure enough, Xia Chen said: "I can give you the Yuan Stone Marrow. I know that you don't have the ability to return it to me now, so I can only borrow it from you. You must return it to me in the future. And as you just said, your Wei family needs to
