He Wuyou's eyes became increasingly cold as he looked at Dou Po, like a wolf testing its opponent. Although it was extremely ferocious, it was also afraid of its prey. Once it discovered that its opponent was not as strong as it had imagined, it would immediately pounce on her and tear her into pieces.
The smiling Dou Po looked at He Wuyou as if she was looking at a puppy tied to a rope and still barking.
He Wuyou stared at Dou Po for a long while before saying, "Old Huangdou, do you really want to be an enemy of the He family of Xuanjing Division?"
Dou Po asked irrelevantly: "Is your last name He?"
"You..." He Wuyou, who was already on the verge of a rage, suddenly narrowed his eyes and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
My eyes were fixed on He Wuyou, and I had no idea what method Dou Po used to scare him so much that he could not speak. When I turned around, Dou Po had already said, "I'll ask you one last time, is your last name He?"
"My surname is not He!" After He Wuyou said these words, his face turned purple.
But Dou Po still had no intention of letting the other person go: "Then tell me, what's your last name?"
"I... I..." He Wuyou said the word "I" several times before whispering, "My last name is Huang... No no... My last name is Dou!"
Grandma Dou sneered and said, "Go back and change my name to 'He Ludou'. Tell He Yunxiao that if there is no one named He Ludou in his family tree, I will burn down the He family ancestral hall. Get out of here!"
After He Wuyou and his men left in a hurry, Grandma Dou took a handful of pills and fed us a few each: "One pill costs 50,000 yuan. Remember to pay after you finish eating. Don't throw your memory away with shit!"
I was so amused by Dou Po that I couldn't help myself. She was like that. Sometimes she was clearly caring about you and protecting you, but her words were really unpleasant to listen to.
We took a long breath before we stood up one by one. Grandma Dou came over holding a dying fox and said, "This fox is dying. She has something to tell you."
"Grandma? Is that you?" Although I have never seen the real Grandma Dong, when I saw the fox for the first time, I thought it was Grandma Dong.
The fox didn't move her lips, but she spoke like Old Lady Dong in her throat: "My child, Grandma is dying. I still can't escape this disaster. Grandma promised to give you benefits, but now all the sisters are gone, and there is nothing I can give you."
I whispered, "Grandma, don't worry. We've known each other for a while. If you have anything to explain, I can help you."
Old Lady Dong raised her paw and said, "Old Chang and his three brothers and sisters are the only ones left in the mountains. Although they are old, they can still be of use. You can take them away. Perhaps they can help you in the future."
"Their fate has not come yet. When it comes, if you can help them, give them a hand. If you can't, just leave it to fate!"
I whispered, "Don't worry, Grandma. I will do whatever I can to achieve it."
"Good boy!" said Old Lady Dong, "Are you still missing a few ghosts in your ghost eye money? Grandma, I am dying, but I don't want to go to hell like this, so please leave some space for me in the ghost money!"
I took out a ghost coin and placed it in front of Old Lady Dong, who smiled calmly and closed her eyes.
I didn't see Old Lady Dong's soul leaving her body, but the ghost money in my hand jumped twice - Old Lady Dong had entered the ghost money.
I stood up and said, "Ye Jin, Monk, pack up and let's go."
Actually, there was nothing to clean up here, just take Lao Chang and the others into the car. Lao Chang's true form was a white snake, and the other two immortals were a newly formed yellow immortal and an owl that was about to face a disaster.
I promised Mrs. Dong that I would take care of them, but when the time came I didn't know what to do, so I could only take them back home first.
It was not until I got in the car that I looked at Mrs. Dou: "Old Huangdou, have you been here a long time ago?"
Dou Po said ambiguously: "I came at about the same time."
Monk Shi was immediately furious and asked, "What do you mean by come at about the right time? You watched us get beaten to a pulp, and you didn't even come out to help?"
Grandma Dou narrowed her eyes and said, "You guys are all over a hundred years old, and you're still waiting for me to feed you! I tell you, I just want to watch the show, what's wrong with that?"
Dou Po made Monk Shi so angry that he was screaming and yelling, but I didn't mean to blame her at all.
The relationship between Dou Po and us is extremely delicate. She is our partner, but she does not cooperate with us in business. She has already shown her loyalty by helping us stop He Wuyou. No matter how many other things happen, I really cannot blame her for anything.
Moreover, as Dou Po said, we are already sorcerers who have made our debut in the martial arts world. When it comes to drawing swords and seeing blood, no background or backing will be enough, because the background is always a foil, not the dominant force in the picture. If you want to be successful in the martial arts world, you have to rely on yourself.
I changed the subject and asked, "Po Dou, what exactly is the Xuan Jing Division doing?"
Grandma Dou said, "Let me put it this way! No matter what you do in this world, you have to rank high and low. Even if you open a tofu workshop, you have to rank the size and taste of it. To be clear, you are just a bunch of small sorcerers who are on the edge of the art of magic and drink the leftover broth from others. You have not touched the core of the art of magic."
"The real overlord of the current art is the One Saint and Four Sects. The Xuanjing Division is one of the four sects, and it has many masters under its command. They have never paid any attention to your business of looking at feng shui, fortune-telling, and catching little ghosts. The smallest business they take on is also starting with big ghosts, and even directly touching demons and monsters. With your current strength, can you do it?"
I shook my head and said, “I can’t do that.”
"That's it!" said Dou Po. "When a normal sorcerer hears the words 'Xuan Jing Si', he would at least act politely. But you guys killed their candidate disciple right away. If you hadn't handled it properly later and brought out the Killing Hall of Xuan Jing Si, which is specifically set up to deal with sorcerers, you wouldn't even be able to cry."
Dou Po's words were unpleasant to hear, but every word made sense. If she hadn't helped us stop the He family this time, we would have been beheaded long ago.
Monk Shi couldn't help but ask, "What is the other three gates of saints?"
Dou Po almost spit on Monk Shi's face: "I'm telling you, you're still planning to go to the mountain to pay respect? It's not too late to find out about those things when you have the ability."
Monk Shi was choked by Grandma Dou and rolled his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about her.
I changed the subject again and said, "Po Dou, you have been watching from the side, right? Is it really because of Lao Hou's invitation that Xuan Jingsi came here this time?"
"That was just an excuse." Dou Po said, "The Xuan Jing Division came out this time just to hunt down Jin Bufei."
Dou Po frowned and said, "Although I don't know what Jin Bufei did to make Xuan Jingsi dispatch a large number of troops, but I did hear some meaning from the conversation between He Wuyou and the others."
"The Xuan Jing Division should have guessed Jin Bufei's plan a long time ago, but they never took action to capture him. The reason they took action only now is probably because they wanted to see if he could successfully change his fate."
I couldn't help but ask, "But, it seems to me that He Wuyou doesn't know Jin Bufei's location at all?"
Dou Po shook her head and said, "This is where the Xuan Jing Division is so smart. If the Xuan Jing Division had made some moves from the beginning, someone as cunning as Jin Bufei would have definitely noticed something fishy. However, if they did nothing, Jin Bufei would have thought he had escaped the pursuit and would have been able to complete his plan to change his life with peace of mind."
"The Xuan Jing Division has a secret method that can roughly calculate the location of the person they are tracking. Now that we know the general location, we can just send more people to look for it. The Xuan Jing Division happens to have no shortage of manpower."
"So that's how it is." I couldn't help but have a bad feeling in my heart. Did the Xuan Jing Division take Jin Bufei away to interrogate him about the secret technique of usurping life? Would Jin Bufei betray me and Lu Xiaoying
Ye Jin couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with that old Hou? Why did he bring two groups of people together at once? And where is he?"
Ye Jin was talking about Jie Jingwen and Lu Xiaoying. They did not belong to the same group. Logically speaking, Lao Hou should not have handed over the business to two groups of people at the same time.
Lu Xiaoying spoke first: "Old Hou handed the business to Jie Jingwen, I just came here to accompany Jie Jingwen from a personal perspective."
Dou Po took over Lu Xiaoying's words and said, "Ying girl, you should really thank Wu Zhao this time. It's not an exaggeration to say that you owe Wu Zhao your life. Do you know who Xie Jingwen is?"
Lu Xiaoying was stunned and asked, "Isn't he the sorcerer from the Xuanjing Division?"
"He has another identity, that is, the successor of the Nianhua School." Dou Po said disdainfully, "Picking a flower and smiling is originally a wonderful method of Zen Buddhism, and it can also be extended to mean mutual understanding and communication. When it comes to the Nianhua School, it has completely changed its meaning. The real meaning of the Nianhua School is: Pick up the flower in your hand and use it for your own benefit."
Grandma Dou said, "Let me put it this way! The descendants of the Nianhua Sect seem to be talented in both literature and martial arts, but in fact they are just average people with neither literary nor martial arts skills. What is really scary is the extraordinary women they hold the flower in their hands. The Nianhua Sect has been rising in the art of magic for hundreds of years, and no one dares to mess with it, all because they took advantage of the talents of those women who were deceived."
"Xie Jingwen had just started his training, and there were no outstanding women around him. He set his sights on Ying Yatou, hoping that she would become his behind-the-scenes helper. However, the boy's kung fu was not yet fully developed, and Ying Yatou was good at calculations, so he was unable to succeed."
"Otherwise, even if Ying knew that she had been deceived and betrayed by him, and was cruelly abandoned, she would still be like a possessed person, and would fight Wu Zhao without risking her life just for his words. So, Ying, you really have to thank Wu Zhao."
After Dou Po finished speaking, she said to me very seriously: "Wu Zhao, you didn't kill Jie Jingwen this time. You can say it's right, but you can also say it's wrong. You should be careful next time!"
