【Xue Xiao】Desolate City Crossing

The name of the tomb robber is Chen Xibao. He is a businessman after all. He often resells goods on weekdays. He is best at exaggerating and haggling. When he returned to Lanling, he brought the three amulets remade by Xiao Xingchen into the pawnshop alone. Returned with a stack of banknotes.

When Xiao Xingchen took the banknote, Xue Yang leaned aside and stared at him, fearing that he would be cheated again. After seeing the amount, he gave Chen Xibao a glance. Without saying anything, Xiao Xingchen knew that the money exchanged this time was definitely not much. At least, he probably made up for the loss he was cheated last time.

Xue Yang still didn't let out a breath, looking very depressed.Ever since he was teased at the age of seven, Xue Yang once had an unforgettable pain. He had vowed never to be bullied by any small people again. Let Xiao Xingchen fall into the trap of a villain, and he can't take revenge.At this moment, he was playing with the dagger in his hand, and he had already lingered at the pawnshop owner hundreds of times in his heart.

Xue Yang couldn't empathize with Xiao Xingchen's hatred for the villain in the market, not to mention that the loss had already been made up, so he only thought that he couldn't indulge Xue Yang's character of always repaying every penny, and then hurt others.But out of the emotion of a candy being preserved for eight years, Xiao Xingchen still wanted to take the initiative to treat Xue Yang kindly once.

"Don't you want to eat? Now that you have enough money, you can eat whatever you want..."

Xue Yang didn't appreciate it, he turned his back and said angrily, "I'm full of gas! Don't eat!"

Xiao Xingchen was helpless, knowing that he would not be able to speak properly for a while, so he turned his head to chat with the tomb robber Chen Xibao, the two found a tea shed, Xiao Xingchen was about to go there to call Xiaoer to pay for some tea and snacks , Xue Yang was unhappy again, and walked between him and Chen Xibao with big strides.

"Daoist! This is the money you exchanged for the blood talisman, why invite others to eat and drink casually!"

I hadn't met many people before, so I didn't feel it. Now Xiao Xingchen realized that Xue Yang was extremely domineering. He was obviously a ghost, but he wanted to control things. With his words, Xiao Xingchen could only treat Xue Yang to eat and drink. , but you can't please others.

Xiao Xingchen said succinctly: "Since it's my money, it's up to me to make the decision. Besides, Brother Chen just helped us, so it's only natural to express our gratitude."

In fact, it is true that Chen Xibao helped them, but Xiao Xingchen also saved Chen Xibao's life before, but he is generous and never remembers his kindness to others, as if helping others is a matter of course and does not ask for anything in return of.

Xue Yang disliked him the most, and didn't want to have another dispute after the quarrel, so he didn't say much, and turned around to face Chen Xibao instead.

The black-clothed ghost with a severed arm blocked the fairy elder in white behind him, as if he didn't allow anyone to approach him, let alone take advantage of him. Chen Xibao shuddered.

After all, he was also a person who grew up in the market place. With Xue Yang's sharp eyes, Chen Xibao could understand it at a glance. Even if it was an individual, staring at him with such cold eyes was scary enough, let alone the other party was a ghost.As the name suggests, Chen Xibao usually cherishes his treasure the most, but at this time he hastily took out his purse from his bosom.

"I ask, I invite, this fairy elder saved me today, even if I ask for ten or eight meals, it should be, let alone a mere cup of tea."

After all, he greeted Xiaoer very wisely and went to order tea.

Xiao Xingchen felt helpless and embarrassed, and had no choice but to find a table in the corner and sit down silently.

Not long after, Chen Xibao came back and carefully sat opposite Xiao Xingchen under Xue Yang's unkind gaze.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Xingchen figured out the ins and outs of the tomb robber Chen Xibao's rebirth.

This family is near Xuzhou, and the villagers in the small village belong to the same family. Because of the poverty in the village, many people have gone out to rob tombs since the previous generation, and brought some supplies back to the village to maintain the family's livelihood.A year ago, on his way from his hometown to Lanling to sell goods, he was robbed and killed by three bandits.Because I often dealt with corpses in the cemetery during my lifetime, I also had some superficial cultivation and some sorcery. After missing the chance of reincarnation seven days after death, I could still keep my soul awake and wander around the road where I was killed, thinking about finding the killer. His robbers took revenge.

The hard work paid off, and after waiting for less than a month, I ran into the robber committing the crime again on the same road where he was killed. Unexpectedly, the two people stopped by the robber this time looked ordinary, and they didn't even have weapons. However, he is a Taoist who knows kung fu. The three robbers were killed, but when they came to Chen Xibao's enemy, the two stopped. After a closer look, they agreed that this person was healthy and good-looking. A good "container" for looting.

Hearing the word "seize the house", Chen Xibao was aroused curiosity. It stands to reason that weak people are more likely to be seized by ghosts, and the ghosts who can seize the house must have a good level of cultivation in life, like Chen Xibao In this way, even if you know the method of seizing the house, but your cultivation base is not enough, it is absolutely impossible to seize the house if you want to.If it was for others, Chen Xibao would not have the heart to take possession of them. He only seeks money in his life and never kills, but it is a different matter for the murderer who killed him.

Chen Xibao has been following the three people not far or near. On the way back to Lanling, the two would bleed the robber a little every day, then set up a formation, and use a special kind of incense to fumigate him for two hours. At first, that person was still a normal person, but then gradually he seemed to be out of his body, in a daze, he could eat when asked to eat, walk when asked to walk, he didn’t even need to be tied up, half a month later, Chen Xibao had Once, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, he successfully completed the house snatching, occupied the robber's body, and became what he is now.

It was not easy to find and make a suitable "container". Since then, people from the Duoshe gang have been hunting him down, and he has to live in hiding.

After hearing this, Xue Yang asked, "So, you were the one who handed over the note in Xifu Town to expose this organization?"

Chen Xibao smiled resentfully, and did not deny it.

Xue Yang asked again: "Then you pay three times the price they want to buy a cheap life?"

Chen Xibao said in disbelief: "Brother Gui doesn't know. The original price they want is equivalent to my five-year income from tomb robbery. I really can't afford to pay three times the price."

Xue Yang said disgustedly: "Tsk, tomb robbers are still so poor and worthless!"

Xiao Xingchen also understood in his heart that with Chen Xibao's cultivation, he was indeed incapable of fighting against the Duoshe organization, but——

"This place is not within the management area of ​​the Xianmen Jin family, why don't you go to them for help?"

Before Chen Xibao could answer, Xue Yang answered for him: "It's not because he is also a person who seizes homes. Those immortal sects are very rigid in their work. If you don't know, you don't care. If you want to take care of it, it's absolutely fine. The Patriarch of the Jin family hates the reputation of sorcery, and when the time comes to ask for the list of house seizures, he will not care who seizes the house for what reason. After tracing it, the whole world will issue a sea arrest notice. Although the house seizure organization can be eliminated by then, he still cannot escape. The fate of being hunted down."

Chen Xibao flattered him: "It's true that you can't hide anything from Brother Gui, that's true."

Xiao Xingchen asked again: "Then you went to Xifu Town while avoiding the pursuit?"

Chen Xibao said: "That's right, my home is near Xuzhou, but because I was hunted down, I was afraid of hurting my relatives and friends, so I didn't dare to go back, so I had to flee in the opposite direction, where I met the immortal chief to investigate the case of Yue's family, and felt that the immortal The leader is both capable and kind, so he told you about the existence of the Duoshe organization."

Xiao Xingchen said: "Since you know that the home of the Duoshe organization is in Lanling, why did you take the risk to come back?"

"This..." Chen Xibao revealed a trace of regret, "One is that I have no money, and I hope to go to the pawnshop in Lanling to exchange the treasures obtained from the tomb robbery for some money. Lanling's lair, who knows that not all of them have been wiped out, and some are still tracking down my whereabouts."

Before Chen Xibao met Xiao Xingchen at the Taoist pawn shop, he was more or less worried that Xiao Xingchen would pursue him for the crime of seizing the house, and refused to listen to his defense, so he could only run away. .Xiao Xingchen believed his experience after hearing his confrontation with the house-robbing organization, and did not plan to pursue his crime of house-robbing, and shifted his focus:

"Oh? Someone destroyed the Seizing House organization?"

"That's right, before seeking help from the Immortal Elder, I also sought help from another person in a similarly anonymous manner. This person must have been heard of by the Immortal Elder."

"who is it?"

"Yiling patriarch, Wei Wuxian."

Xue Yang sneered: "You are lucky enough to find someone. You have the ability and mood to meddle in this business, and you won't classify all those who seized their homes into one category and beat them to death indiscriminately. The whole world can't do that." Not many."

Chen Xibao himself was very sad: "Brother Gui is really joking, if I was really lucky, I would not have encountered such a thing. I died once and was finally reborn, but I have a home and can't go back. I don't know how long I will be wandering... "

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingchen became enthusiastic again: "Didn't you say that Mr. Wei has already destroyed the Duoshe organization? How many remaining crimes are left to be cleaned up? After it's cleaned up, you can go home, right?"

"I don't know the specifics. I have to ask Mr. Wei to find out."

Xiao Xingchen suddenly thought of another thing.

"Young Master Wei is currently in Lanling City?"

"Should be there, I saw him from a distance on the street yesterday."

"Is there a black-clothed swordsman beside him?"

"No, there is only a young man in white with Mr. Wei, who is also a very famous person in Taoism. His name is Lan Wangji, and the world respectfully calls him Lord Hanguang."

So maybe Zichen hasn't found Wei Wuxian yet.

Xiao Xingchen couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.After that, feeling a little guilty again, he glanced at Xue Yang beside him. He was stepping on the bench with one leg curled up and knocking on the table with a dagger. Unaware of the tension.

Xiao Xingchen calmed down, turned his gaze back to Chen Xibao, and was about to speak, when Chen Xibao suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to him.

"Immortal Master Xiao Xingchen, since you can not pursue the crime of the villain taking the house, the villain dares to ask for one more thing!"

Xiao Xingchen thought for a while, and said, "You want me to escort you home?"

"Yes."

"Yes, yes, but... aren't you afraid to go home?"

"I would like to ask the head of the fairy to escort me for a while. If there are too many people chasing and killing me, I will not go back; if there are not many people, I hope the head of the fairy can help clear it up; if there is no chase, it can be seen that the remnant of the organization should be my own." I don’t care about running for my life, I wandered outside for a year, afraid of being followed, I dare not even send a letter, my family doesn’t know if I’m alive or dead, I... really want to go home and see.”

"It's easy to say, I promise you, Brother Chen, you don't need to be too polite."

Ever since Chen Xibao saluted, Xue Yang's face became more and more grim. When he heard that, as he expected, Xiao Xingchen wanted to carry forward the spirit of benevolence again, he complained with great impatience:

"Master Daoist, why are you so meddling? Do you know whether this person is good or evil? Is what he said true or false? Even if you have to escort him, is it for nothing?"

Xiao Xingchen is used to being a chivalrous hero. He has already practiced the art of bigu, and he often sleeps out in the open without a fixed place. He doesn't value money very much. What's more, he already has a silver ticket in exchange for an amulet, so he doesn't want to accept it. Chen Xibao got the money by robbing the tomb to take back to his poor hometown.In his opinion, Xue Yang was meddling in other people's business, but Chen Xibao was generous, and immediately added:

"Brother Gui reminded me that I was negligent, and I promise that I will never let Xian Changbai go."

Xue Yang was still not satisfied, so he asked again: "Be clear, how much will you pay if you don't make a trip in vain? This fairy is precious for a long time, if..."

"Xue Yang! Shut up!"

Xiao Xingchen interrupted coldly.
