When Yan Chixia heard this, she immediately stood in awe and quickly called her "Senior". How can someone who can call her master a brother or brother be a simple person? Maybe the true face of the young man in front of her is a person who has no knowledge of cultivation.

He has long heard of "old monsters" like Fan Ji. Many people with advanced cultivation and successful appearance may be hundreds of years old, but from the outside they look like just a handsome young man.

"Haha, apprentice, you have misunderstood. He is about the same age as you. You all have your own opinions." Xuanyangzi said with a smile.

If his apprentice calls him Senior Yi An, wouldn't it be a mess?

Yan Chixia called Sheng Yi brother again, but she didn't feel any contempt for him. Instead, she admired him even more.

Being valued by the master is enough to prove Yi An's extraordinary qualities.

He was an orphan with unknown relatives. He came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang with his parents from Qin when he was young, but he had a bad fate. His parents died of famine. Fortunately, he met Xuanyangzi later.

Since then, he has been adopted by Xuanyangzi. The master not only raised him, but also taught him all he has learned in his life. This kind of kindness cannot be repaid in this life. He can only do his best to

Fulfill the master's wish, take it as your own duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, and eradicate injustices in the world.

"You just said, what's your name?" Yi An couldn't help but be startled when he heard the other person's name. Yan Chixia, this name sounds familiar.

"Brother Yi, my name is Yan Chixia, the brave and loyal Chi, the shining Xia." Yan Chixia showed a simple and honest expression. His appearance is relatively rough, even compared to Li Zhihe, it is a bit rougher.

Yan Chixia...

Yi An pondered for a long time, constantly searching his deep memories, and finally remembered this familiar name. Where had he heard it? At the same time, this also revealed another dusty memory of his. Once, he was just an ordinary person.

When she was a human, wasn't Yan Chixia a key figure in the world of Liaozhai?

But he didn't know whether this Yan Chixia was the same Yan Chixia.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

The world is full of wonders, and the collision of two people's names is nothing strange.

However, Yi An still compared the Yan Chixia in front of him with what he understood in his memory.

First of all, the appearance of the two is strikingly similar.

Secondly, the responsibilities of both are Taoist priests who eliminate demons and defend the Tao.

"Is it true that he is just Yan Chixia who hasn't grown up yet?" Yi An couldn't help but guess.

If it is true, then the mystery of this world can be initially unveiled.

Although it is still just the tip of the iceberg, it is a crucial step.

"Brother Yi, what's wrong?" Yan Chixia asked strangely.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some past events and I was a little distracted." Yi An no longer dwells on this problem. As time goes by, this mystery will always be solved.

"So that's it. By the way, I almost forgot about the business. Master, the victim has been waiting for a long time. He is in the guest room." Yan Chixia suddenly remembered something and said seriously.

"Business matters, let's take me to see the scholar first. The monster is in the dark and we are in the light. This situation is very unfavorable for us. We should ask him first to see if we can get any useful information.

"Okay." Xuanyangzi looked solemn, and when dealing with evil spirits, even if he knew that the opponent was not strong enough, he still could not be careless.

Yaoxie is good at the heretical arts. If you don't really confront him, you will never understand Yaoxie's difficulty.

Arriving at the guest room, they soon met the scholar.

Judging from the other party's attire, he should also be a student who took part in this provincial examination.

The moment the scholar saw Xuanyangzi, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found his backbone, and he said excitedly: "Taoist Master, you are finally back."

"So it's you. How is your mother doing lately?" Xuan Yangzi asked.

He knew this scholar, to be precise, he knew his mother.

The scholar lives outside the city of Hangzhou. There is only one old woman in the family. Her mother does not believe in Buddhism. She believes in Taoism, which is rarely discussed by outsiders. In the words of the other party, Taoism is the local culture of Yanbei. It is also profound, sincere and natural.

, I used to go to Yuxu Temple to pray for blessings. However, in recent years, the old woman has grown older and only went to the mountain a few times, and she only came accompanied by scholars.

It was precisely because of this that Xuanyangzi had several encounters with him.

When he mentioned his mother, the scholar's originally warm eyes were suddenly filled with sadness. Everything happened in just a moment. Xuan Yangzi immediately realized that he might have said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, I heard the scholar say in a lonely voice: "My mother passed away at the beginning of the year. Her only regret was that she could not see me shine, marry and have children. Fortunately, she was not disappointed.

This rural examination has begun to bear fruit."

"Please bear with me and accept the change. Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature. Your mother is a person with profound virtues. A family that has accumulated good deeds will definitely be happy." Xuanyangzi consoled her.

What he said was not nonsense, he actually did the old woman's numerology calculations.

The so-called Yin virtue means being dedicated to good deeds, doing good deeds without publicity, and not coveting fame and fortune.

Doing good deeds with all your heart and not seeking fame is the most valuable thing.

Yang De is like some people who do good deeds in order to gain a good reputation and let everyone know how good I am and how many good things I have done. This is called Yang De.

However, Yang virtue is called merit, while Yin virtue is called merit.

Merit will disappear after you enjoy it, but merit has infinite energy, just like a drop of water dissolved into the sea, which will never dry up. People with strong merit will benefit their descendants, and future generations will benefit from it.

When it comes to merit, it is mysterious, invisible and intangible, but it has countless benefits.

The scholar thanked him, but he still didn't get over his sadness.

"Let's talk about your experience first." Xuanyangzi asked.

The scholar nodded and began to tell his story.

"After the results of the provincial examination were released, I couldn't wait to leave. I wanted to let my mother know the good news as soon as possible."

"But, not long after I left Hangzhou, I met a beautiful woman on the road."

"According to what she said, she was the daughter of a wealthy family in a neighboring city. She came to Hangzhou with her father to do business. However, something unexpected happened and she encountered gangsters on the way. Her father and servants were unfortunately killed trying to protect her.

She was the only one who managed to escape."
