Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

Chapter 122: Meeting an Old Friend Again

It’s an ordinary day at the market. The population is bustling. They seem to have no idea what tiredness is. They gather in the market and immerse themselves in the hustle and bustle.

At this time, an old man with a white beard was walking on the road holding a flag.

He stroked his beard gently, found a place to set up a stall, put the chess pieces behind him, sat there, looked at the bustling crowd around him, and felt as if he had integrated into it.

'Feng Shui master, who can deceive the world and spy on the secrets of heaven, can ask for marriage, career, building Feng Shui, etc., and charges according to circumstances.'

This is written on the chess piece.

The old man was Chen Baoan, who dressed himself simply to avoid any trouble.

"Master, how do you ask for this?"

A beautiful ringing sound was heard.

Chen Baoan slowly raised his head and saw a girl with a sweet smile, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as silk, and seemed to reveal a faint blush.

Her eyes were like bright stars, twinkling with gentle light, and her lips were rosy, plump and slightly upturned.

What caught his attention most was the divine fire mark on the forehead of the girl in front of him, which was the same as Dongfang Huaizhu's.

He has been here for a month and knows a lot. In addition to the eldest daughter of Shenhuoshan Villa, Dongfang Huaizhu, there is also a second daughter named Dongfang Qinlan.

I guess it’s the girl in front of me.

"Ok?"

Chen Baoan noticed the young man wearing a blue scarf next to Dongfang Qinlan. He stood tall and seemed to blend into the surrounding air.

His face was half covered by a scarf, but the exposed eyes were as cold as stars, emitting a chill that made people dare not look directly at them.

He stood there quietly, like an iceberg, emitting a chill that made people dare not look directly at him.

This murderous intent that was about to become reality made Chen Baoan's eyes freeze.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be very familiar with Dongfang Qinlan.

And there was an aura about him that was familiar to Chen Baoan.

"A monster..."

Chen Baoan murmured to himself.

Shenhuoshan Villa is famous for exorcising monsters. Now its second young lady is actually with a monster. He has never heard of Shenhuoshan Villa having any dealings with monsters.

"Lady donor, what do you want to ask for?"

Chen Baoan did not reveal his true colors and continued to speak quietly and steadily.

"Emm, then show me your destiny!"

Dongfang Qinlan said after thinking for a moment.

"it is good."

Chen Baoan replied. Qin Lan stretched out her hand and he slowly grabbed it. When he was about to read her palm, a huge force came from his hand.

The young man held the old man's hand, his brows slightly frowned and his eyes were cold.

"So fast! I couldn't even react!"

Chen Baoan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Brother Lan?"

Qin Lan was puzzled by the young man's behavior.

"Feel sorry."

The young man seemed to realize the rudeness of his behavior, and quickly let go and apologized.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, benefactor. I won't move."

Chen Baoan had no choice but to reassure this person, but he secretly took note of this person in his heart.

He had to pay more attention to the strong man from Shenhuoshan Villa whom he had never seen before.

"Haha, young lady, your marriage line is very good. Your ideal husband may have appeared when you were a child, or he has always been by your side."

Chen Baoan stroked his beard and spoke in a deep voice.

He actually doesn't know how to read palms, but he is very popular.

"Ah... oh, so that's how it is."

Qin Lan withdrew her hand, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Judging from the look and tone of the girl in front of him, she kept glancing at the young man next to her from time to time, and she must be attracted to him.

Therefore, what Chen Baoan said was just to reassure her.

Chen Baoan didn't receive much business this month, so he used this method to give his customers confidence.

The moment Chen Baoan finished speaking, Dongfang Qinlan couldn't wait to glance at the young man next to him.

Seeing that he was unmoved, she sighed secretly.

Chen Baoan saw all of this.

"Donor, how about I help you with your fortune?"

Chen Baoan extended an invitation to the young man, hoping to test his true strength.

"I don't believe this."

It was quickly rejected.

Chen Baoan was not angry. After all, fortune-telling was originally a mixture of truth and falsehood. There were believers and naturally there were non-believers.

The young man named Lan waved his hand and left.

"Eh?"

Qin Lan looked at his departing back, and felt even more depressed.

"Hahaha, don't worry, my lady donor. As long as I'm by your side, it must be fate. Time will tell you the answer."

Chen Baoan looked deep in the eyes as he comforted Dongfang Qinlan.

"It seems that Huaizhu's sister is deeply involved."

Chen Baoan muttered.

"Thank you, Master. How much do you charge here? Is this enough?"

Qin Lan took out a silver ingot.

"Haha, no need. It's fate, so why bother talking about money?"

Chen Baoan waved his hands. The person in front of him was Huaizhu's sister. How could he accept her money?

"Ok?"

This made Qin Lan confused. No money? Then you are still alive and not starved to death. You are really lucky.

She watched Lan walk further and further away, not caring too much and yelled, "Sorry."

So he chased after him.

Chen Baoan looked at the two people's backs as they left, and gently put away the yellow flag. He already had things to do.

The identity of that monster is a mystery, so it’s better to find it as soon as possible.

He took off the hat on his head, and the six scars on it revealed his identity as a Buddhist.

"Amitabha……"

All living beings are suffering, I will help them to overcome it, Chen Baoan murmured to himself.

He slowly took off his fake beard and bowed deeply to the two men's backs.

"Now may not be the right time to see her, because so many things have changed."

Chen Baoan explained himself.

He immediately returned to his residence to pack his things, planning to go up the mountain to visit Shenhuoshan Villa on another day.

That monster was too mysterious and might be the source of the chaos in Shenhuoshan Villa. He had to find out.

For the past month, he has been living in the tavern's residence. The prices in this place are naturally not as good as those in the capital, so the money he has can support him for a long time.

After tidying up the things in the room, he put on his Buddhist beads and took out the small cloth bag.

There was some silver inside, which gave off waves of warmth.

As soon as he saw the silver, his thoughts were pulled back to many years ago.

It has been more than ten years since we parted. I wonder what it will be like when we meet again.

. . . . . .

The next day, as the sun rose slightly, Chen Baoan said goodbye to the store and set foot on the stairs to Shenhuoshan Villa.

The stairs were very long, with no end in sight. Chen Baoan's small figure seemed particularly insignificant on the long stairs, but he climbed up step by step with determination.

Every step he took was filled with his thoughts of that person. Although his steps were slow, they were full of power.

As he moved forward, the stairs seemed to transcend the past and the future, and a huge manor slowly emerged.

Unlike the prosperity he had imagined, there were actually some hideous knife edges on the stone pillars at the door.

The crimson flames shot up into the sky like a giant dragon, illuminating the entire cloud layer, as if tearing the sky apart.

In the midst of the raging fire, the sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out, crisp and harsh.

Every collision is like the collision of two stars, splashing sparks and shocking people.

It seems that I came at the right time. The so-called chaos has already begun!

Chen Baoan slowly took the Buddhist beads from his neck, placed them on his left hand, chanted a mantra, and held a Zen stick in his right hand, as if he was repenting.

Because he understood that what was about to happen was absolutely a taboo for Buddhists.

But today, he had to break this taboo for one person!

……

"If you show up, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize you..."

"If you show up, you'll stand in front of me..."

"If you show up..."

But this is just her wishful thinking. After years of waiting, it will all be in vain...

Just when Dongfang Huaizhu was feeling desperate, something unexpected happened!

‘Clang! ’

‘Clang! ’

‘Clang! ’

The sound of the Zen stick hitting the ground echoed throughout the entire mountain range, and the gate of Shenhuoshan Villa broke under the weight.

"Dear donors, I am sorry to bother you."

He bowed and apologized.

It was Chen Baoan. He stepped into the gate of Shenhuoshan Villa step by step and saw clearly the roaring fire dragon in the sky.

That was a human being, no, to be more precise, a beast.

Kneeling on one knee, the seriously injured Dongfang Huaizhu heard the sound and quickly looked up.

Even though time had passed and his appearance had changed, she still recognized him at first sight.

"Enemy attack!"

"Surround him!"

The disciples of Shenhuoshan Villa held swords in their hands, with pure yang flames burning above them, and surrounded the intruding monk.

"Who breaks into my Shenhuoshan Villa?!"

"Take him!"

"on!"

When countless disciples saw someone breaking down the gate, they knew it was an enemy.

They understand that everything they are doing now is rebellion!

If this were to get out, they would surely be despised by the people of the world, but the benefits of the Shenhuoshan Villa's treasures were right before their eyes, and they didn't want to give up!

And this stranger who broke into Shenhuoshan Villa must not be allowed to stay!

"Hey~ I'm sorry."

He sighed and slowly put down the Buddhist beads.

The Zen stick was constantly waving in his hand, each punch hitting the flesh, his body was as hard as steel, and his fists were as powerful as thunder!

Even the precious sword could not hurt them at all. Although flesh and blood were flying everywhere, the fallen disciples were still breathing, so he did not kill them.

It just made them lose the ability to resist.

“Uh uh ah~”

Just when Chen Baoan had dealt with all the attacking enemies, the man in the sky was already impatient to tear him into pieces!

"Humph! Your martial arts skills are not bad, but unfortunately... they are only good!"

Jin Renfeng threw the fireball in his hand directly at him.

The scorching breath made Chen Baoan frown, and then he raised his Zen stick and used all his strength!

'boom! ’

When the flames died down, the staff was naturally burned, and his clothes became tattered.

There were horrible scars on it, similar to marks of whipping and beating with a stick.

In fact, these are the scars left behind many years ago when fighting against the inner demons, that is, the obsession in the heart.

Chen Baoan slowly walked to Huaizhu who was kneeling on the ground and knelt on one knee.

"Baoan..."

"Huaizhu, I'm sorry, I'm late..."

I helped her wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth and the dust from her face. After fifteen years, I touched her cheek again. It was still the same as I remembered...

He really overestimated himself. His so-called powerful martial arts were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of magic power.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are just a mortal. How can you compare to a cultivator?

unless……

There is only one way to break the impasse!

"Xiaopei, are you there..."

This was the weakest time that Chen Baoan called out to Xiaopei in countless times, and perhaps also the last time.

I think he had endless sighs in his heart. If he were buried here with the person he loved, he would have no regrets.

"Master, I am here!"

A female voice rang out, and the corners of Chen Baoan's mouth curved up. He finally heard it. After so many years, he finally!
