"In this Xuzhou City, I am naturally the most reasonable person."

"No, you are not."

"presumptuous!!"

"No problem, no problem."

Wang Taiyu waved at the indignant guards on both sides.

Then, he calmly asked Chen Huangpi: "Little kid, you said I am not, then who is the most reasonable in Xuzhou City?"

"Far away, yet so close."

Chen Huangpi puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I came to Xuzhou City, so I am naturally the most reasonable. Although you are also reasonable, you are definitely not as reasonable as me."

"Why?"

"Because you don't have a sword."

Chen Huangpi raised the sword made of a dry branch in his hand and said seriously: "My Third Master said that the truth must be practiced with the sword. Although you have the truth, how can you practice it without a sword in your hand?"

“This is perverse.”

Wang Taiyu laughed and said, "People are afraid of your sword, not your principles."

“Why should I ask them to agree with me?”

Chen Huangpi said as a matter of course: "My sword is a sword that follows my principles. If they are afraid, it means that my principles are right. If they are not afraid, it doesn't matter. I still have another sword."

“What if your theory is wrong?”

"Then let me be the standard."

Hear this.

Wang Taiyu was completely stunned.

Looking at the serious-looking young man in front of me, it seemed strange no matter how I looked at him.

He is so young, yet his cultivation is extraordinary.

He is full of nonsense and he has three masters.

How did those three masters teach?

A good piece of uncut jade is being taught like an evil cultivator.

Wang Taiyu became interested and said, "You are a wild cultivator in the mountains and you don't know the rules of the outside world. People and things in this world are all bound by rules. If everyone is like you, wouldn't it be a mess?"

"Therefore, the reasoning behind your sword practice is wrong."

"Then tell me what's wrong specifically."

"Naturally..."

Wang Taiyu frowned: "Of course..."

"What is it?"

Chen Huangpi said disdainfully: "Look, you say my reasoning is wrong, but you can't tell what's wrong. You must be a fool."

The word "fool" had just come out.

The guards present could no longer bear it.

Everyone glared at Chen Huangpi.

However, Wang Taiyu shook his head and said, "This is probably the first time for a mountain cultivator to go out. Please don't make things difficult for him."

"Besides, what he said does make some sense."

Wang Taiyu said in a strange tone: "Only with a sword in hand can one practice the truth with sword. Without a sword in hand, even if one breaks the sky, he will only be able to speak with words."

"The truth needs a sword."

"Well, swordsmanship..."

Wang Taiyu chewed over the word "Jianxing" carefully, and after thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't think of any faults or flaws.

And the more I think about it, the more wonderful it seems.

The more I think about it, the more it seems right.

The truth needs to be put into practice.

But you also need a sword.

If I had a sword in my hand, even if it was in front of His Majesty, I would have the confidence to reason with him.

But I am His Majesty's running dog.

There is only reason, but when heard from His Majesty it just sounds like a barking.

How to practice your own principles?
Thinking of this, Wang Taiyu beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing and saying, "Reading on paper is always shallow. You must practice it yourself. I have read too many books of saints and learned too many truths, but in the end I am a fool."

Chen Huangpi said: "It's good that you know."

After saying that, Chen Huangpi turned around and was about to leave.

This Wang Taiyu is a fool.

I don't play with fools.

"and many more……"

Wang Taiyu saw Chen Huangpi was about to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "It's already past noon. You live in the mountains, why are you staying in this city instead of going home?"

If you don’t leave Xuzhou City before nightfall.

By then, the city god of that state will turn into an evil being, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to.

Although I have no relatives or friends.

But Wang Taiyu could no longer save those people.

But Chen Huangpi is not from Xuzhou City.

Wang Taiyu urged them to leave at this moment, and no one could find any fault with it.

Chen Huangpi shook his head and said, "I will go back in the evening, but I still have things to do."

"what's up?"

"My master asked me to buy spices, but the spices in this city are too expensive. I can't afford them."

"Come here, give him one hundred taels of silver."

Wang Taiyu had just finished speaking when he quickly changed his words and pointed at a guard and said, "Zuo Weilang, go buy some for him. Buy a pound of all kinds of things."

"Yes, Master Taifu."

Before Wang Mingdao left, he looked at Chen Huangpi strangely.

I don't know if it was his imagination.

I always feel that this boy in front of me is a little familiar.

It seems like I have seen it somewhere.

It doesn't take a while.

Wang Mingdao came over with a bag of seeds and handed it to Chen Huangpi: "The spices you want are all in it. Just put your mind into it, and I will be able to take out the things inside and give them to you."

"I do not want."

Chen Huangpi shook his head and said, "Although I am short of money, this is just charity."

Wang Taiyu said, "Then write me an IOU and pay me back when you have money."

"You did remind me."

Chen Huangpi suddenly realized and said, "Bring me a pen. I'll write you a note."

Someone handed over a pen and paper.

Chen Huangpi finished writing it quickly and handed it to Wang Taiyu.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"See you again later."

Chen Huangpi said this, patted his butt, and ran away with the fox mountain god.

Only Wang Taiyu and others were left standing there. "Master Taifu..."

Wang Mingdao said in a gloomy voice, "I used my money to buy the spices, and the bags that contained the spices also belonged to me. Should I give this IOU to you?"

"Take it."

Wang Taiyu threw the IOU to his son.

Then he got into the ox cart and said loudly, "Hurry up and set off. I want to go back to the capital to forge swords."

The team continued to move forward.

Wang Mingdao looked at the IOU on the paper and felt a little confused.

Because it wasn't an IOU.

It was written that he should go to the bank to withdraw money as repayment.

"This Chen Huangpi can't even afford to buy spices, how can he deposit money in a bank?"

Wang Mingdao murmured, "It's just this man's name, Chen Huangpi..."

……

inside the carriage.

Wang Taiyu placed his hands flat on his legs and made a gripping motion.

It was as if there was really a sword in his hand.

"Chen Huangpi, if I remember correctly, Song Jiu, who was sent by Song Tiangang earlier, was going to kill him, right?"

"Exactly."

Shadow thought strangely, "But later Song Jiu died in the God Burial Tomb. Although Ming Dao and I escaped with our lives, all the related memories were erased."

"Just like the immigrants who were sent back to Xuzhou City earlier."

Wang Taiyu said seriously: "This Chen Huangpi is very extraordinary. The dog he is leading..."

"It's a fox."

Shadow said strangely, "And it's a god, but there's not a trace of incense on that god. Instead, there's an indescribable, inexplicable aura that makes me feel very uneasy."

"It should be the god who protects the way."

"No, that's not the fox. There's something else in his shadow."

“Perhaps that is his guardian god.”

Wang Taiyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of existence is it?"

The shadow shook his head evilly and said in great fear: "I dare not look, let alone touch it. The reason why I know is because my body has melted into the shadow."

"In short, that existence is terrifying."

“It’s like it doesn’t belong to this world.”

……

the other side.

In a restaurant in Xuzhou City.

Chen Huangpi sat by the window.

At this moment, a ray of fire invisible to mortals whooshed into the brass oil lamp hanging on his waist.

That fire is a lamp.

The light of a brass oil lamp.

"Chen Huangpi, guess what I saw?"

"I won't guess."

Chen Huangpi said lazily, "I was just about to ask someone if anyone had seen the Guangmu God and the evil man. I don't have the energy to speculate with you. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly."

"There's an evil creature following Wang Taiyu."

"Evil?"

"Yes, just as evil as the four monsters with nails in their heads."

The brass oil lamp sneered and said, "And you know that evil one."

Chen Huangpi said, "You are talking nonsense again. This is Xuzhou City. The evil spirits I know are all in the Shiwan Mountains. How could they be here?"

"The God's Burial Tomb."

The brass lamp said, "Last time when we were at the God Burial Tomb, you forgot that many evil spirits had signed contracts to sell themselves to you, including that evil spirit. It was a shadow. Do you remember it?"

"It seems to have made an impression."

Chen Huangpi took out the Book of Souls and turned to one of its pages.

The signature on this page is Shadow Evil.

And the handwriting is extremely neat.

I still remember Chen Huangpi clearly.

"So it is this one. Why is it next to Wang Taiyu?"

"I guess they are Wang Taiyu's men."

"But none of this matters. What matters is that the evil one said there is an extremely terrifying being hidden in your shadow."

The brass oil lamp's tone was fearful.

It had previously thought that there was an evil being hidden in Wang Taiyu's shadow, so it sent a beam of light to watch out from the side.

With its means, neither Wang Taiyu nor the evil shadow would be able to detect anything.

Therefore, the other party has no reason and no need to lie.

But the problem is...

The brass oil lamp did not notice anything wrong in Chen Huangpi's shadow.

Chen Huangpi looked down at his own shadow.

He didn't see the problem either.

People rarely pay attention to their own shadows.

Because where there is light there is shadow, this is the easiest thing to overlook.

Chen Huangpi said thoughtfully, "Master, could it be that you are trying to put something into my shadow again?"

The brass oil lamp shook his head and said, "Not like that."

"If the master of the temple takes action, the evil shadow will definitely not be able to detect it."

"I suspect the thing in your shadow is a recent phenomenon."

"recent……"

Chen Huangpi pondered and said, "I went to the Tomb of the Gods recently and met Yi Qingzhou. If Yi Qingzhou did something to me, he would definitely tell me. It shouldn't be him."

"Where is the Yellow Springs Yintu?"

"That's even less likely."

Chen Huangpi said, "The ferryman looked at me as if he had seen a ghost. He certainly wouldn't dare to attack me. Besides, if he did, wouldn't you have noticed?"

"That's true."

The brass oil lamp considered.

Then, it discovered that if there was someone in this Yellow Springs Yintu who did something to Chen Huangpi but it could not discover it, it seemed that there was only one Yin Tianzi.

"Yin Tianzi is dead."

Chen Huangpi said: "It was a tragic death, and we ran away before dark, so it didn't have time to do anything to me."

"That would be strange."

The brass oil lamp was puzzled: "It's neither this nor that. What on earth is that in your shadow?"

"How should I know? It can't be that headless Yama."
