Time flies, and two hundred years later... Our story starts from Cangqing Mountain again.

Cangqing Mountain is located in the southwest of China Shenzhou. The mountains are towering and majestic, and are stretched for hundreds of miles. The main peak, Yusun Peak, is a wall that stands thousands of feet high, standing proudly among the mountains. Although the surrounding peaks are dangerous and steep, they are closely surrounding this peak, as if worshipping. There is a vast river in the south of the mountain, reaching the sky. The mountain is covered with strange flowers and auspicious grass, and bamboos and pine trees. From time to time, tigers roaring from time to time in the forest. From time to time, the cry of apes comes from the mountain stream. From time to time, clouds and clouds are lingering all year round, appearing and looming, like a fairyland on earth.

There is a town on the north bank of the river on the southern foot of Cangqing Mountain, called Shimen Town. This town is quite large in scale, with tourists from north to south gathering here for many clouds, so there are many merchants and wealthy people in the town. Jiangdi Street and Hualou Street are two main streets in the town. Jiangdi Street in Qian Street are mainly shops and workshops. On weekdays, it is also a place where hawkers and common people are active, so there are all kinds of people who are amateurs and fortune tellers. Back Street Hualou Street is mostly high-end restaurants, theaters, and brothels, which are places where high-end officials and nobles find fragrance and pick up greenery. Therefore, looking at Shimen Town from afar, you can say that there are houses lined up and archways.

On this day, the sky is clear and the wind brings warmth. Boats and boats come and go on the river, the shore is red and the willows are green. The street market in Jiangti is full of tourists and is very lively.

I saw a young scholar in the crowd wearing an indigo blue lantern shirt, a turban, a handsome and elegant face, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and a clear smile on his face, slowly walking towards him.

"Please stay, please stay." Suddenly someone stopped the scholar beside him.

The scholar turned his head slightly and saw an old man wearing a gray robe with three long beards under his chin. His eyes were white and less black. His eyes were flashing. He held a bamboo pole in his right hand, and there was a square flag hanging on it, with the words "Preparing things like gods". He immediately understood in his heart that this was a fortune teller who was a fortune teller, so he simply kept silent and waited for the following text.

"I see the young master's eyebrows are bright and the sky pavilion is plump. I will be in high school in the future." After the Master said that, his eyes flashed, but he saw that the scholar did not answer, and then continued: "However, the young master has a faint black air at the moment. In my opinion, the young master will have disasters coming in the near future."

Upon hearing this, the scholar smiled slightly and said, "Sir, how should we avoid misfortune?"

Seeing the scholar talking like this, the old man's eyes rolled and he said a little happy: "Your Madam needs to present the birth date and horoscope for me to carefully calculate it."

The scholar reached out to ask for paper and pen, and the old man hurriedly took out a thin pen and a piece of rice paper from his bag.

The scholar then picked up his pen and wrote it out in a daze. Unexpectedly, he found someone walking by from time to time from time to time. Looking up, he found that the crowd on Jiangti Street suddenly gathered in front of a jewelry store.

The scholar stopped his pen and looked at the jewelry store not far away. After a moment of contemplation, he handed the pen and paper back to the old man and said, "It seems that there are so many inconveniences today. There are some things here that need to be taken down to see." After that, he didn't wait for the old man to answer, and he had already stepped out.

The old man took the paper and pen, and before he could look closely, he was afraid that the scholar would leave, so he hurriedly said, "Young master has been in bad luck recently, so don't meddle in other people's business."

When the scholar heard this, he stopped, turned around, raised his lips slightly, and said softly with a smile: "Why not combine the eight characters and make a conclusion?" After that, he took a step and walked towards the gathering crowd.

Hearing this, the old man looked very confused. He lowered his head and opened the rice paper, but saw the words "It is not suitable to be close to water" on it. He was puzzled and showed disdain. He snorted in his nose, kneaded the rice paper into a ball, threw it to the side of the road, held the bamboo pole and square flag in his hand, walked forward, and shouted as he walked: "Dividing fortune tellers, and telling the mistress. Observing the complexion, determining the good and bad luck of the year; criticizing the eight characters, determining the prosperity and prosperity of a lifetime."

The old man shouted and walked up the ferry without realizing it. When he looked up, he saw a group of guests coming down from the trestle. The old man turned his eyes and quickly stepped forward to meet him. Unexpectedly, when he was less than meter away from the group of guests, the wooden board on the trestle suddenly broke. The old man "thumped" and fell down. Fortunately, he hugged the bridge in time. When everyone pulled it up, he was soaked in the river water like a chicken falling from the river, which was very ridiculous and pitiful.

After the scholar left the old man, he walked to the jewelry store and looked up at the crowd. He saw a few men in a cardigan, surrounded a girl who looked like a twelve or 3 years old. The man in the lead had dark skin, a bunch of hair on his chest like a hedgehog, and a pair of triangular eyes and a face full of flesh. He looked terrifying and disgusting. At this time, he saw him pinching the girl's wrist with one hand and holding a jade bracelet with two pieces in the other hand, revealing yellow teeth, and shouting loudly: "If you don't have any money to pay, then sell you to Xunxianglou, the back street." As soon as he finished speaking, the men around him burst into laughter.

The scholar looked at the girl carefully and saw that she was wearing an ice-blue silk skirt, her hair was combed with a flat bun, with beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes, and she was looking at the talking man hatefully, and said aggrievedly: "Your bracelet is originally bad, you are deliberately framed!"

Hearing this, the black man glared and held the broken bracelet to show it to the crowd, and then said loudly: "This child broke our bracelet. He didn't want to lose money, and he would also wrongly accuse the good people. Please understand and make a judgment. This is a newly broken crack!"

The onlookers also began to talk, some said that it was broken by the girl, and some said that it was a black shop that often extorted money.

When the young scholar saw this, he nodded slightly, pushed the crowd away and walked forward, "Brothers, why bother to make things difficult for a child?" Although the voice was not loud, everyone present heard it and everyone calmed down involuntarily.

After hearing this, the black man in the leader turned around, raised his triangle eyes and looked up and down. Seeing that it was a weak scholar, he shook the jade bracelet in his hand again, and said with a flamboyant expression: "Bullying a child? Do you know that this is the treasure of our store. If you sell her to pay the bill, we will lose money!"

When the scholar heard this, his eyes flashed with inspiration, he smiled slightly, and said, "I wonder how much silver this brother's so-called treasure for the store is worth?"

The black man looked up and down at the scholar again, tilted his mouth and said, "How much silver? Humph, it will cost at least one hundred taels of gold!"

As soon as this was said, a big stir in the crowd around them all started to talk in a low voice. This was obviously a blackmail, one hundred taels of gold, but who can get it?

After the black man finished speaking, he looked at the scholar despisedly and ignored him. He seemed to be saying in his heart that you are a poor scholar, I am afraid you have never seen gold in your life.

"His bracelet is fake. I broke my hand as soon as I received it." The girl said angrily with grievance.

"Fake it, don't talk nonsense. This bracelet was passed down by my ancestors." The black man hurriedly explained to the surrounding people.

"Okay, brother, you don't have to be so noisy. Just pay for this kid in the next generation." The scholar said as he put his hand into his sleeve.

Upon hearing this, everyone, including the Black Man, stared at the scholar's hands that reached into his sleeves with curious eyes, as if he was watching a magic trick. He felt it was difficult to believe it, but he was looking forward to the appearance of a miracle.

I saw a slight smile on the corner of the scholar's mouth. He shook his hand and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve. He held it in his hand. It was shining with a yellow light in the sun, and the crowd around him began to stir up again.

"Oh, it's really a gold ingot."

"It's such a big ingot."

"This is about one hundred taels."

………………………………………

The black man stared at the golden ingot in the scholar's hand, raised his hand as if he was about to snatch it, swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you take what you just said seriously?"

"You will do what you say." The scholar stretched out his hand forward and handed the golden ingot over.

The black man was both surprised and happy when he saw this, and seemed to be a little skeptical, so he reached out to answer. Suddenly, he grinned and raised the other hand that was originally holding the girl. He saw two rows of tooth marks clearly on it. It turned out that the girl took the opportunity to bite him.

"I don't want you to care!" The girl said to the scholar angrily, and separated the crowd and ran away.

The black man did not chase after him, but stepped forward and snatched the gold ingot from the scholar's hand, held it in his hand, weighed it, then bit it with his teeth, turned around and whispered to the other accomplices: "It's true."

The scholar smiled slightly and said, "Since my brother has confirmed it, I'm leaving." He said this, but his feet did not move, and he was still standing there.

"She also bit me! It's a loss." The black man shook his head, raised his bitten hand, and showed the light tooth marks on it.

Such a rogue-rogue appearance suddenly caused a commotion around him, but people just cursed in a low voice, and no one dared to come forward to uphold justice.

The scholar seemed to shake his head helplessly, but still said with a smile: "Okay, is this enough to pay for you?" As he said that, he took out a ingot of gold ingot from his sleeve and sent it to the black man.

The black man opened his mouth wide, his eyes laughed into a crack. While taking the ingot, he said, "Enough, enough." He said, and turned around and winked at the other accomplices.

The other few people immediately understood and all stepped forward, holding their own words:

"I was stomped by her."

"I was kicked by her."

"I was taken by her."

……………………

The scholar looked at it with a smile, and then changed his tricks. He took out a few ingots of gold ingots from his sleeves one by one and paid them one by one to everyone.

After the men received the gold ingots, they were so happy that they were full of joy. They first held it in their hands and looked carefully for a while, then began to disperse the crowd, then ran back to the store, and closed the store and were very lucky.

The scholar stood aside and looked at it with a smile for a while. As soon as the crowd left the jewelry store and walked towards the direction of Cangqing Mountain outside the town, he did not walk fast, but people only felt his figure swaying for a few times and disappeared, and were surprised.

After the people dispersed, they had a cup of tea, and the miserable wailing sounds came from the jewelry store, which was shocking. Then the door panel of the store was also broken, and several big men fell out, fell on the street, covering their foreheads and moaning in pain.

Passers-by stopped and couldn't help but laugh, and then they couldn't help laughing happily. It turned out that the golden ingots given by the scholar were now growing on the foreheads of the big men, like horns. What's even more funny is that everyone else had one, but the black man in the head had two, and he looked very funny.

The big men searched outside the store, but when they could not see the scholar, they kowtowed and bowed, begging the passers-by around them to find the scholar's whereabouts. After asking for a while, the charitable man finally pointed out the direction of the scholar's departure. When the big men heard this, they did not dare to delay for a moment and rolled and crawled to chase after him.

Outside the town, the mountain road leading to Cangqing Mountain is not wide, just because the Shimen Town is built with the mountains and waters, and the main transportation routes are all on the ferry crossings in the south of the town and the official road along the river. Therefore, on weekdays, in addition to chopping wood and collecting herbs, few people in the town go up the mountain. Moreover, the decisive battle between the immortals and demons two hundred years ago took place in the depths of the Cangqing Mountain. Although Shimen Town did not affect it at that time, the situation in the past has been passed down by generations and added fuel to the fire, and it has long been unrecognizable and exaggerated thousands of times.

At this time, I saw the setting sun as blood, dyeing the clouds in the sky red.

On the side of the ancient road, facing the Shimen Town, the scholar stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes floating gently with the wind, staring at the rarely visited green mountains, as if he was admiring the colorful clouds, and as if he was looking for the battle between the immortals and demons back then.

"God, help me."

"Great immortal, please stay."

"Hello, wait"

………………………………………

From the direction of Shimen Town, there were loud shouts. The scholar slowly turned around and saw the stumbled and funny big men with a smile on their lips.

In a moment, the few people rushed to the scholar, gasped heavily, knelt down one after another, and began to beg:

"God, we know we are wrong. Please take back these gold ingots."

"Hero, give us a chance."

"We will never dare to do it again."

Seeing this, the scholar was as deep as water and said seriously: "You are bullying good and have committed evil for many years, but your crimes are really difficult to forgive."

Hearing this, the black man in the leader knelt on the ground with a look of praying, and kept bowing and saying, "Great Immortal, we know that we are wrong. From now on, we will definitely change our past mistakes and accumulate virtue and be kind." Everyone behind us also agreed.

The scholar thought for a moment and said lightly: "Nian'er and others are just cheating people for money and have not hurt their lives. I will give you a chance."

When several big men heard this, they didn't care about the pain in their foreheads and kowtowed to thank them.

"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is hard to spare. From now on, you must do one good deed every day. If you do one thousand things, the gold ingots on your forehead will naturally become smaller and fall off. Otherwise, the gold ingots can enter your brain within a hundred days to take your lives." The scholar showed his majesty and said slowly.

When several great men heard this, they were extremely frightened and kowtowed and expressed their compliance.

Later, the leader of the black man kowtowed, knelt on the ground and bowed, "We will follow our teachings from now on, and if not, we will be punished."

The scholar glanced at everyone, nodded slightly and said, "I have told you all the way to crack it. Let's go."

The leader of the black man hesitated for a moment and said, "You are brave enough to ask the name of the immortal. If you are destined to see you again in the future, it will be very commendable."

The scholar smiled slightly, but did not answer. His figure flashed in the afterglow of the setting sun and disappeared.

Several big men lowered their heads and waited for a while without any movement. When they looked up again, they realized that the immortal had left, so they kowtowed again and said goodbye to say goodbye.
