PFC Chapter 167
Chapter 167
In the past, a child faced with this kind of thing would have definitely run away, but things are different now. She doesn't want to lose her stable life, so she can't just act on her own will and can only go on with it.
The door of the room in the middle was closed. As soon as she knocked, someone rushed over and opened the door. Zhang Fengci's face appeared in front of the child.
"It's finally here!"
The child handed over the food box: "Hello, Zhang Fengci, here's your meal."
"Don't worry about that," he didn't answer, but opened the door and waved at her, "Come in."
The child took the food box back, gripped the handle tightly, and stood still, rooted to the ground, and said cautiously:
"Does Zhang Fengci have any other instructions?"
He narrowed his eyes and said, "You little brat, why are you so defensive? I asked you to come in because I have something nice to say to you. If you don't want to, you can say it here. But it won't be polite to say it here."
Child: ...What a mess?
"What do you want?"
Seeing that she really didn't understand, Zhang Fengci reminded her: "There's a saying that goes, 'It's only natural to pay back a debt.' Have you heard of that?"
The child nodded: "I have heard of it, but I don't owe you any money."
"Hmph, what do you mean by not owing? Do you think those spirit stones were blown by the wind? You should know how much you spent the day before yesterday. I won't ask for more from you. Either pay me back with spirit stones or give me one thousand taels of silver, and we'll forget it.
Oh, by the way, there's also my dog. You made it look like a bald head. I don't know if it will ever grow hair again. I have to ask a doctor to check it out. You can't refuse to pay me. I'll give it twenty taels.
The total is one thousand and twenty taels. I am not trying to cheat you. If you don’t believe me, go ask An Changshi. He can’t tell me a second price either.
No matter where you go, you can't get away with this debt."
Child:……
Child:……
Child:……
Child:!
It was as if there was a clock in her head, buzzing and knocking her head back into chaos.
There were thunder and lightning in the sky, with rumbling sounds, as if foreshadowing misfortune. The child looked up and saw the sudden rain falling on her face, which made her heart cold. She looked blankly at Zhang Fengci who was asking for money, and muttered to herself: What kind of fate is this for me?
He said, "I have no money, so just kill me."
The child turned around and sat down on the doorstep, opened the lunch box, grabbed the soup and stuffed it into his mouth.
Soup...
Can that be caught?
After taking a bite, my fingers were bleeding, and I could still vaguely taste a little bit of the fresh and fragrant flavor.
It's chicken soup.
The child is a vegetarian.
There was nothing else in the food box. She took the bowl and looked at it, then raised her hand and poured out a straight line, pouring the meat and soup onto the ground.
I offered a sacrifice to myself.
I thought to myself: It’s better to have something than nothing!
Zhang Fengci was standing behind her, stunned. He subconsciously added, "This soup also costs money."
With a snap, the child smashed the bowl into pieces. He picked up a piece, turned around and handed it to him, saying the same thing: "If you don't have money, you can kill me!"
Zhang Fengci looked at the sharp porcelain fragment and said, "Kid, if you look at it now, it seems like you want to kill me."
They were about to poke him. Who would kill whom? If he hadn't retreated quickly, they would have stabbed him by now.
Are the brains of extraordinary people also different from those of ordinary people?
The child was stunned: "That's not good, right?"
She spoke hesitantly, as if mumbling.
The little boy urged, "What's wrong with that? It doesn't matter who kills who. It doesn't matter who makes the move. Go ahead. You don't like him anyway."
Child: "But I'm the one who owes the money!"
The child was very conflicted, and Zhang Fengci stepped back cautiously.
Oh my God, who is she talking to?
I almost forgot about her madness.
"Well, kid, it doesn't matter if you don't have money."
The child's eyes rolled blankly and fell on him.
Zhang Fengci put on a kind smile and said, "You can pay it back with something else, like what we agreed on."
we agreed?
"Spirit stones?" The child nodded, remembering what he had just said. "That's a good idea. I know where I can find some. I'll go steal them."
"Come back! What do I need spirit stones for!" Zhang Fengci said excitedly, "I'm talking about spiritual power. Spiritual power, give me your spiritual power back!"
Child: Oh, so that’s how it is.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me so much that I almost killed you!"
The child dropped the porcelain shard with a sigh of relief and turned to look at the two servants who were slowly approaching her: "What's up?"
The two gatekeepers lowered their eyes to the ground, then slowly raised them and shook their heads in unison.
"No, well, you guys... chat slowly."
They laughed stiffly twice and ran away tumbling. The child looked at the ground in confusion and found that she was too scared and somehow used her spiritual power when throwing stones, so... the porcelain piece was embedded in the ground, with only a sharp point sticking out.
How dangerous this is.
The child looked around, picked up a stone from the corner where the flowers were planted, and smashed the pointed end with a snap. He then smoothed it out bit by bit, jumped on it twice, and felt that it was fine and didn't prick his feet at all. Only then did he feel relieved.
He looked at Zhang Fengci and said, "It's no problem to give you spiritual power, but I haven't learned how to use it yet. Can you wait for a few more days? Once I learn it, I will come to you immediately."
Zhang Fengci wanted to say no, but she had worn holes into the floor tiles: ...
"Don't worry, take your time and don't forget it."
Little Child: "He is really reasonable."
Child: "You are such a good person! Don't worry, I will study hard and come to see you soon."
If he hadn't seen that she didn't have murderous intent, Zhang Fengci would have heard her words as—You're such a bastard! Don't worry, I'll learn it well and will come to take your life soon!
Forced a smile.
Child: “What else do you want?”
Zhang Fengci asked tentatively, "Are you willing to swear an oath to your inner demons?"
Zhang Fengci was really worried about letting her go like this. Losing face was a small matter, but what if she changed her mind?
Even though they can practice at any time, these strange people are stingy and have a high opinion of themselves. They are unwilling to do business with him even if he is paid. If this child is like that, he will lose spirit stones and be embarrassed.
Child: “I seem to have heard someone say that, but I don’t know how to say it.”
"It's okay, I know!"
As long as you are willing.
Zhang Fengci was overjoyed. Even though he felt she was a bit dangerous, he still moved closer with a smile on his face and said to her, "It's just a few words. It's not difficult. I told you to just follow and learn. By the way, what's your name? Child or baby?"
"My name is Xiao...Tong."
The child, for some unknown reason, placed extra emphasis on the word "child".
From what Zhang Fengci heard, she was just dissatisfied that he didn't even remember her name. It's okay, she's just a child, just coax her, and she won't be crazy if you coax her.
"Xiao Tong, huh? What a nice name! Come here and I'll tell you how to do it.
With my inner demon as witness, I, the little boy, swear an oath here today..."
The child raised three fingers, suppressing his guilty conscience, and said sincerely, "As witness to my inner demon, I swear today..."
The child leaned against the door and squinted at her. "You're so funny? Is this something a monk would do? You swear not on yourself but on your own delusions? You know, I am you."
Child: I’ve never felt that way.
According to Zhang Fengci, when the inner demon takes the oath, the child will feel it.
But she felt nothing.
It can be seen that this trick... works!
He walked out briskly with a lunch box on his shoulder, and the child comforted the little boy:
Don’t be angry, can’t I call you Xiaowai next time?
-
A little common sense in the world of cultivation—the oath to the inner demon.
A widely used and extremely vicious thing, usually used in conjunction with heavenly thunder, so anyone who swore this oath was essentially gambling with his or her life and path to immortality.
For example, someone from the east house stole a melon from the west house and didn’t want to admit it, so he made a great oath:
"I swear by my inner demon that I never stole a single melon from him. If I break this oath, I will be punished by heaven!"
Xijia looked at the melon seeds at the corner of his mouth, blinked, and said nothing, letting Dongjia walk away angrily.
Years later, the Dong family had become a powerful figure, about to ascend to heaven. Under the gaze of the crowd, he slowly rose to mid-air. Suddenly, a voice emerged from his mind: "You liar, you thief, have you forgotten the melon from the Xi family? With someone like you, do you think you are worthy of becoming an immortal?"
"What melon?" Just as the boss was wondering, a bolt of lightning struck him. Without any sense of enlightenment, the charcoal grilled boss fell to the ground with a cry of pain. Before he died, he was still asking unwillingly, "What... melon? What... melon is it?"
Xi Jia held a large watermelon in his hand and kindly broke it open in front of him, stuffing it into his mouth. As he ate, he said, "This is the watermelon. It has a thin skin, sweet flesh, and is so juicy. It's the big watermelon you loved the most!"
Suddenly, the host recalled the boy who stole the melon under the moonlight... Foolish young man, put down the melon!!!
This is just one situation. It is also possible that he was struck by lightning the moment he swore the inner demon oath. This thing is like a sword hanging over his head, which will fall sooner or later.
If you don't want to die in such a vague way, you can also say that you will die without a burial place, without a complete corpse, die suddenly on the spot, lose both your life and your wealth, and your cultivation will regress instead of improving. However, you should be careful when swearing. The oath to the inner demon can only curse yourself and should not involve others. If it is a great oath to the heaven, there is no such restriction. You can swear by your closest relatives, but the wronged souls of your closest relatives may also haunt you, and the heavenly punishment may not let you go. If you don't care, just do it.
But seriously, aren’t people who swear not to reveal their true identity a scammer?
From this perspective, the inner demon oath is better. Unfortunately, the world is in decline and people's hearts are no longer the same. Nowadays, people don't even use their own names when swearing. After making a solemn oath, it is no different from farting. Instead of believing in any oath, it is better to make sure that you have the strength to make the other party dare not break the oath!
Right, a certain temple?
(Please note that inner demons can be overcome, but inner demons cannot. Do not confuse the two. For the former, you only need to fight against yourself. As long as you can convince yourself, you can overcome the inner demons. Whether the heavenly punishment still has a score to settle with you is another matter.
But the latter, called the inner demon, is actually fighting against the way of heaven. Can human power defeat heaven? Anyway, so far, no one who has sworn the inner demon oath has escaped, whether you can forget this matter or not.)
