【Xue Xiao】Desolate City Crossing

Chapter 24 Imbalance

Xiao Xingchen took it for granted that some righteous men came to investigate the tomb robber's crime of seizing the house. He was about to step forward to ask for clarification, but he felt a slight pull on his arm. It was Xue Yang who gathered spiritual power in his hand, pulling him to hide behind a tree.

"Don't worry, Daoist, let's have a look first."

Xue Yang didn't know why he followed him all the way. At this moment, he immediately understood who Xiao Xingchen was chasing, and like Xiao Xingchen, he hid behind a tree to observe.

There were five people who caught the tomb robber, all with their backs to them, and the leader was triumphant: "How about it, can't you run away now? Do you know how busy we are recently, and let us waste energy to catch you."

As he spoke, he kicked the tomb robber.

The tomb robber hummed and curled up in the net pocket, unable to see his expression, the man continued: "Okay, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, someone else bought this body of yours at a high price, and now it is occupied by you, we will return it to you." I have to work hard to prepare another one for others. As for you, there are only two ways now."

"First, pay three times the price to buy this body, and we will let you go. You can still come to us if you need it in the future."

"Second, we ruined this body, and today we will make you ashes and ashes. Choose yourself!"

"Bah!" The grave robber scolded coldly without even thinking about it, "I was killed by this robber in the first place, and he deserved his crime for being taken away by me. I will not pay for his life!"

The person who asked the question was not angry, and slowly said: "Stinky boy, think about it carefully, you are not paying for his life, it's just a life, do you think we value it? What we value is this body, you are taking it away Those who are reborn, you should know that a normal living person needs special processing to allow ordinary people like you with little cultivation to succeed in seizing homes. The money we collect is the hard work of processing living people, not to mention, in your current situation , even if you spend money to buy your own life, what else is there to be reluctant to do? You can earn money if you lose your money, but if you lose your soul, you can never get it back?"

Hearing his repeated description of the living beings as tools that can be processed and profited at will, Xiao Xingchen suddenly became angry.

It seems that these are probably members of the "Seize the House Organization". I don't know how many people have been harmed by this tone. On the contrary, the tomb robbers have a reason for taking the house. If what is said is true, then there is no need to pursue the crime of taking the house up.

The tomb robber rubbed restlessly in the net bag for a long time, and finally sat up with his back arched reluctantly.

"Even if I want to buy it, I won't pay three times the price, I have no money!"

"Hey?!" The leader of the Duoshe organization asked in a funny way: "You want to bargain when the disaster is imminent?"

Just at this moment, Xue Yang wanted to find a more comfortable peeking angle, relying on the fact that he was a ghost and no one else could see him, he jumped onto the tree facing the grave robber.

Obviously he didn't make any sound, but the tomb robber seemed to look up and saw him, his face was happy, and he shouted at the place under the tree where he was: "Xiaoxingchen Immortal! Help me!"

Xue Yang murmured "Not good", and before he got down from the tree, Xiao Xingchen rushed out with his sword in hand, and jumped in front of the tomb robbers, facing five people who were at war with their swords.

At this time, the sun was just right, Xiao Xingchen carefully identified and found that the five people had double shadows on their bodies, and they were all the ones who took the house.

Everyone else backed away slightly, only the leader squinted his eyes and smiled crookedly: "I don't know who you are, why do you want to meddle in your own business?"

Xiao Xingchen said sternly: "Unfortunately, I have some friendship with this person, and I am also investigating the Seizing Organization. Today, I will never let you do anything wrong!"

"Okay, then we're not going to be polite!"

The leader smiled calmly and raised his hand.

Xiao Xingchen drew his sword in front of him, ready to defend.

With a wave of his hand, the man threw down a piece of talisman, formed a fine and dense golden net in front of Xiao Xingchen, and ordered loudly:

"withdraw!"

Xiao Xingchen was stunned, he didn't expect his opponent to show such a confident attitude that he would retreat if he didn't fight, he was just so stunned, he broke through the net blocking his way and line of sight and chased after them, those people had disappeared like ghosts .

There was a cold snort from the grave robber behind him.

"Elder Immortal, don't be surprised. Everyone in this organization is like this. Everything they do is for profit. They are all greedy for life and afraid of death. Immortal Elder can see that they are very powerful. If it is not necessary, they will not take risks." fought you."

Xue Yang got down from the tree angrily, and said to the man: "Shut up, you, who told you to shout! So you can see me? Why do you pretend you can't see me in Xifu Town?"

The tomb robber smiled ingratiatingly: "Brother ghost, don't be angry, I didn't dare to expose it at that time, and I'm not sure that this fairy can see ghosts, of course it's hard to say..."

Xiao Xingchen was also a little confused: "Can anyone who is reborn be able to see ghosts?"

The tomb robber shook his head: "I don't know the details. I have only been reborn for less than a year, and I don't dare to reveal my identity. Anyway, I can see it. So, did the immortal head also reborn after taking the house?"

"Is it none of your business, don't inquire!"

Xue Yang aggressively blocked the man's question back. Xiao Xingchen wanted to ask more questions, but Xue Yang stood in front of him and stretched out his hand to him.

"Master Dao, how much did you exchange for the paper talisman, take it out and let me see, we can go have a big meal! You can also stay in the hotel! I haven't slept in a bed for a long time, this time I think..."

Only halfway through the sentence, Xue Yang couldn't continue.Because Xiao Xingchen only took out a bank note with a very small denomination.

"That's all?" Xue Yang asked.

"That's all." Xiao Xingchen replied, "You really lied to me before" all over his face.

Xue Yang raised his forehead and shouted: "Master Dao! Why did you change so much? You were cheated by a profiteer!!!"

Xiao Xingchen saw Xue Yang walking back and forth anxiously in front of him, and felt very heartbroken for him. Thinking of the shop owner's blind eyes, he believed Xue Yang again.

He may have really been scammed by a profiteer.

But Xiao Xingchen didn't care at all, he put away the silver ticket and said, "It's okay, the money is enough to spend for a while, if it's not enough, I'll make some more amulets."

Xue Yang stopped and looked in the direction of Lanling City.

That Xue Yang, who always wanted revenge, reappeared with a gloomy expression on his face.

No need to think about it, Xiao Xingchen knew what Xue Yang was planning.

"Xue Yang, you are not allowed to trouble that shopkeeper."

"I won't hurt his life, just..."

"That's not OK!"

If Xue Yang were to go, the shopkeeper might become crippled if not dead.Xiao Xingchen had no choice but to stop it firmly.

But Xue Yang refused to let it go.

"Xiao Xingchen! Are you a fool? Why don't you let me go after I promised not to kill him? Shouldn't this kind of person teach him a lesson? Why do you always let yourself suffer? Drawing a blood talisman! This is not wasteful. Are you energetic? Do you know that the profiteer can sell your amulet at ten times the price if he changes hands?"

A series of angry questions also aroused Xiao Xingchen's temper.

"The things I make myself can be sold as I want, and you don't need to say more."

Xue Yang rolled his eyes towards the sky: "Xiao Xingchen! It's impossible for you to walk in the world like this! If you suffer yourself and be generous to others, do you think those who have caused you will remember your kindness and thank you? No. You are fueling their arrogance to do evil, and after you leave, they don't know what kind of ugly face they will use to laugh at you!"

Xue Yang said that he was doing good for Xiao Xingchen, but Xiao Xingchen had no credibility in hearing it. He was already unhappy about being deceived by a profiteer, but Xue Yang's words hit a secret pain point again. Dust board raised his face and said coldly:

"Really? Deception and ridicule, isn't that what you have done? What qualifications do you have to teach others for me?"

Xue Yang was stunned for a moment, then yelled back at him as if he had suffered a great injustice: "I didn't!"

This roar was extremely loud, and it really aroused Xiao Xingchen's anger. The past is really deadlocked, just a touch will break the fragile balance between them.

How could Xue Yang have the confidence to say "no" so confidently?With such a firm tone, people who don't know may really think that he wronged Xue Yang after hearing it. Who did he commit suicide ten years ago because of?Did Xue Yang think that he lost his memory after being reborn?

"Nothing? You said again that you didn't lie to me?!"

As if he was afraid that he couldn't hear clearly, Xue Yang said loudly again: "I never laughed at you!"

"……what?"

"Xiao Xingchen, I lied to you, but I never really laughed at your kindness to me! On the contrary, I kept it all in my heart. In the past ten years, I have never forgotten it! The last one you gave me Sugar, I'll keep it until I die!"

Xiao Xingchen was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

The expression and tone of the ghost on the other side were very fierce, and the volume was even louder than every sentence, but what he said caught him off guard and he became quiet.

I only know that Xue Yang lied to him to humiliate him, remembered his kindness like this, and kept the candy he gave him for eight years, but I have never heard of it.

He stared carefully at those eyes that belonged to Xue Yang's soul, those angry eyes, trying to see how real they were.Why are people and things in this world so hard to tell which is real and which is fake?Why can't people just tell the truth?Why did Xue Yang show a remorseful attitude after doing countless evil things, easily making him feel pity?

He hated Xue Yang like this, and he also hated himself like this.Xiao Xingchen was speechless for a while.

At this time, taking advantage of the moment of silence among the tit-for-tat humans and ghosts, the tomb robber who was still in the net bag next to him raised a hand with difficulty from the net.

"Immortal Elder, Brother Ghost, I can help you get back the difference in losses, so, can you... let me out first?"
