The hand that had thrust out the sword stopped half an inch from the Taoist priest's chest, as if an invisible hand was holding my wrist, making my hand holding the sword unable to move at all.

I pulled my arm back to signal that I wanted to stop, and then the invisible force disappeared. Turning around and looking into the crowd, sure enough, a Taoist boy wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist crown walked out of the crowd. Although he looks like a child, it can still be seen from his face that this Taoist boy has a calm attitude that has been through the world.

Lin Feng and Chong Xi and I hurriedly stepped forward and held our hands, and I said: "Master Tian, I'm really sorry, we have no choice but to do so." The little Heavenly Master waved his dust whisk, smiled and said: "I already know this, but I still want to Thank you, Mr. Shi Yan, for your mercy." I also smiled, but my face could not hide my discomfort with the way this little Heavenly Master spoke. After all, a child who looks like he is only a teenager speaks in a casual tone like an old man, which is really hard to get used to.

Zhang Tianshi naturally didn't care about the expression on my face, and turned to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest who was standing aside. At this time, the Taoist priest was dumbfounded and didn't know how to react at all. He just stood there in a daze. To be honest, if it were me, I would probably be stupid. Just imagine, if my father's master also appeared in this image, I might not be stupid, but crazy!

The Heavenly Master looked at him, but did not speak to him, but turned and left. A group of us just watched as Zhang Tianshi walked into the crowd again and disappeared from our sight.

The elder sister tilted her head and walked up to me and asked, "Who is this little brat?" I exhaled, "Zhang Tianshi." The elder sister opened her mouth and said "Ah!" I explained: "There is more than one Heavenly Master Zhang, but it has been passed down from generation to generation. This one is probably the most virtuous and respected one after the first generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling." The old lady nodded in disbelief, turned to look at the dumbfounded Taoist priest and said "Are you convinced now?" The Taoist priest was shocked, and then he came to his senses and immediately fell to the ground.

At this time, Chongxi walked up from under the courtyard wall, stood under the three peach trees again, and asked, "Tell me what's going on?" The three peach blossom spirits appeared again, and knelt down on the ground again. The language begins to tell. Chong Xi was so confused that she spun around and waved her hands repeatedly: "Tell me one by one!"

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest stood up at this time, came behind Chong Xi and said, "I'll ask." After saying that, he looked at the three peach tree spirits and said, "The people in this family have already contacted the demolition team. Negotiations have been held, and the demolition funds have been allocated. Just because of your troubles, the project has not been completed yet. What are your intentions?"

Xiao Baihua and I stood aside, each lit a cigarette and started smoking, looking at Chong Xi. The elder sister lay on top of my head and asked: "Where did these three peach tree spirits come from? Are they worthy of us going to such a big fight that even Zhang Tianshi is alarmed?" Xiao Baihua was obviously interested in this question and turned to look I'm ready to hear my explanation.

I laughed and said, "It's very simple. These three peach trees were actually planted here by the three of us." The old lady, Xiao Baihua and Yuanyuan said "Ah!?" at the same time. Lin Feng smiled and said: "The three of us traveled back in time to ancient times, and by chance we collected these three peach tree spirits. Later, we considered that Chongxi had no magic weapon to defend himself, so we let the three peach tree spirits serve as Chongxi. self-defense. But after all, we will not stay in ancient times forever, and we will always come back. But we have no way to bring the three of them back to the present, so before coming back, Chongxi planted these three peach trees Here, let them wait for us for three hundred years."

The elder sister opened her eyes wide and asked, "So, these three peach tree spirits are all better than me?!" I shook my head and said, "Theoretically speaking, the three of them combined are not as good as you." The elder sister was even more surprised: "How is that possible!" I took a puff of smoke and said, "The transformation of plants into spirits is different from the transformation of animals into spirits. If they want to cultivate to your level, I'm afraid it will take more than a thousand years." The elder sister said this Then he nodded to show his understanding.

At this time, Chongxi and Xiaoyu were there. The three peach blossom spirits knelt on the ground and lowered their heads. Tao Lao said: "The independent people planted us here for more than three hundred years." Tao Lao Er said: "A hundred years ago, a village was established here. We, the three sisters, The place where people stand has also become the courtyard of a family." Tao Laosan looked at the old man in the short house who was looking out and said: "The three of us sisters have watched that child grow up, and will be passed down to future generations. Although he agreed to demolish the house, he was not happy because he could get the money." Boss Tao continued: "One day, the three of us entrusted a dream to the child and asked him if he was really willing to demolish this ancestral home... . ... "

Chong Xi interrupted her and said, "Then the old man said that he actually didn't want to, but he couldn't be the master of his children, right?" The three peach blossom spirits nodded in unison. Chong Xi looked back at the Taoist priest and said, "Do you understand now?"

The Taoist priest smiled helplessly and nodded, he hesitated to speak, he really didn't know what to say. I walked up to Chong Xi with a smile and said to the three peach tree spirits: "You three, please return to your positions. We will handle the rest." Then, I looked at Chong Xi and raised my chin at him. Chong Xi also nodded to me, then took out a rubber band from his pocket and threw it out.

The three peach tree spirits also stood up at the same time, two of them held the two ends of the rubber band on both sides, and the other stood up and hugged the legs of the two people above them, forming a Y shape. When it fell into Chong Xi's hands, it turned into a slingshot.

That's right, when we conquered these three monsters, we transformed them into Chongxi's slingshots. In this way, Chongxi truly had his own magic weapon.

The moment the slingshot fell into Chong Xi's hand, noisy sounds suddenly sounded around, and time began to flow again. Everyone's face was full of confusion, not knowing what exactly happened, as if the fight we just experienced and the visit of Zhang Tianshi just happened in a moment.

Lin Feng and Chong Xi looked at each other and smiled at each other. Then I took the lead and turned around and walked towards the small house. The old man in the house saw someone coming and came up to him with a cane. Because he didn't know what our purpose was, the old man's face was full of worry. I smiled at the old man and said: "Old man, we all know the matter. Do you think this is a good idea? Since you are unwilling to move, then we will let the developer build this place for you again. You can still live here after the construction is completed." Do you think it’s OK here?”

The old man had a look of confusion on his face and subconsciously looked towards the yard. When the old man's eyes swept over the place where the peach trees once stood, I clearly saw a look of surprise in the old man's eyes. I smiled and said, "You don't have to look for it, the three of them are here." With that, Chong Xi took the slingshot off her waist in cooperation. The moment the old man saw the slingshot, he burst into tears. Then only the voices of the three peach tree spirits were heard: "Child, don't cry. I have already waited for the person I am waiting for, and I am afraid I can't continue to accompany you in the future. But don't worry, our master will make the decision for you."

The old man wiped his tears and nodded, and I smiled at the old man and said, "You don't have to be sad..." Before I could finish my words, the old man waved his hand and interrupted me and said, "I. .. ... I know. These three peach trees have been planted in this yard since they were planted very early. I have never seen fruits growing on these three trees. When I was childish, I asked my family Sir, why does this peach tree not grow peaches? Sir, I don’t know why. Later, one day I was playing in this yard. I was so tired from playing that I fell asleep under the peach tree. I dreamed Now, these three peach trees told me that they are waiting for people here. When people are waiting, peaches will grow..." The old man's voice was unclear, maybe because of his age. for the sake of.

At this point, the old man did not continue talking, but returned to the house alone with a cane. The old man looks so lonely, his children have not returned, and the only ones who can accompany him are Tao Boss and the three sisters. We took the peach tree spirit away at this time, and the last trace of color in the old man's life was taken away by us, the people who should have waited.

Thinking of this, I can't bear it. Little Baihua standing next to me frowned and said nothing, but Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu behind her were not as strong as her and were already sobbing.
