Chapter 183: Every drink and every peck has its cause and effect

~12 min read 2,365 words

After leaving the carriage and parting with Aunt Liu at the intersection, Xiao Yu did not return to the Roaring Shanzhuang immediately.

She went to the Xianyun Temple, intending to find the Dog Meat Taoist to ask about her future.

"Woof woof woof" Outside the Xianyun Temple, Xiao Qiang stopped and barked: "Master, when making divine blood buns earlier, the look that thief Taoist gave me was like looking at a fragrant roasted bun.

How about I go back to the villa first? I know the way."

Xiao Yu glanced at it and said lightly: "Today I came to the Xianyun Temple to find Daoist Yunqing, one of the purposes is to let him diagnose you to see if you are going to become a demon and harm people."

Xiao Qiang jumped and barked, saying: "Master, I am an honest dog, I never harm people, you know this!"

"You gnawed on a human head in public today, which was extremely cruel and scared the people, not like an honest dog." Xiao Yu said.

"Master, don't you feel guilty saying this?" Xiao Qiang shouted excitedly: "I was just greedy and thirsty, so I licked two mouthfuls of divine blood to quench my thirst, but the rolling heads and severed limbs on the ground were all cut by you sword by sword!

I only stole two mouthfuls of divine blood and it counts as extremely cruel and scaring the people, then aren't you a butcher and devil king?"

Xiao Yu looked at the dog with calm eyes, didn't move, and didn't speak.

Xiao Qiang shrank its dog head and said with a smile: "Master, I was impulsive, that was not my sincere words just now.

I probably stayed with you for a long time, and I also have a bit of a brain wind... uh, I mean, I am not only honest but also very useful.

I can help you look after the house, I can run seven or eight miles with a basket hanging around my neck early in the morning to help you buy sweet tofu brain at the entrance of the village, I also..."

Xiao Qiang racked its brains and tried its best to think of its usefulness, "By the way, I am also very vigilant.

Look, I said I was uneasy before entering the city, and sure enough, a group of Heavenly Gods descended to the mortal world to ambush you."

"I don't eat dog meat in my life, but you are fat and strong, which makes me want to break the rule. Being able to make me eat happily, and by the way, opening a dog meat hot pot banquet to entertain Daoist Yunqing, is your greatest use." Xiao Yu said lightly.

"Don't, don't!" Xiao Qiang's thoughts turned rapidly, and suddenly its eyes rolled, it stuck out its long tongue and said: "My meat is smelly! Because I especially like to eat poop, just now, I ate another hot one, look, is my tongue a bit yellow? Is the taste still a bit—"

Xiao Yu's face turned green, and she kicked it on the butt.

"Awoo~~~" Xiao Qiang was kicked flying four or five meters, ran away happily, and only the barking sound came from the street corner, "Master, I'll go back first, you must come back early!"

At this time, the Dog Meat Taoist was not in the Xianyun Temple.

However, the story of Yu Fengxian "the will of heaven is with me" had already spread to the Xianyun Temple.

The Taoists in the temple all regarded her as a god-man and kept their distance: they sent a little Taoist to take Xiao Yu out at the first time and led her to find the Dog Meat Taoist at Squire Chen's house.

But Xiao Yu didn't want to run around.

What if she went to Squire Chen's house, and the Dog Meat Taoist went to Squire Li's, Squire Zhang's house?

"I'll wait for him in the backyard, I'll leave when he comes." Xiao Yu said.

After waiting for more than an hour, until the sunset glow spilled on her face, turning her face into a piece of red, the Dog Meat Taoist walked in with a wine pot in his left hand and a braised dog leg with crispy skin and rotten meat in his right hand, drinking and laughing drunkenly.

"So leisurely and comfortable, it seems my matter is really over?" Xiao Yu smiled.

Seeing that there was not a trace of anxiety on her face, but rather peace and quiet, a trace of appreciation flashed in the Dog Meat Taoist's turbid eyes, and he asked: "What matter of yours? My matter is what is called over."

"What matter do you have? Fooling the squire with human blood buns?" Xiao Yu had a bottom line in her heart, and her expression became more relaxed.

"If it were really human blood buns, it would indeed be fooling people, not only unable to save people but also damaging Yin merit. But divine blood is really different."

The Dog Meat Taoist glanced at her, "You have killed the living Zhu Tong, and also killed the Heavenly God Zhu Tong, the feeling of the sharp sword cutting meat, can you not know?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and she said: "This afternoon I met Master Chi Jiuluo at the government office, he said Heavenly Soldiers are Pure Yang bodies."

"Hehe, you actually met him, did he..."

The Dog Meat Taoist gave a strange smile, shook his head again, changed the topic halfway, and said: "I heard that the Heavenly Palace has a Transformation Pool, which contains Pure Yang Immortal Qi, and the soul entering it can condense a Pure Yang body."

"Same as a Pure Yang True Immortal?" Xiao Yu asked.

"You are not simple, you actually know about Pure Yang True Immortals." The Dog Meat Taoist was surprised in his words, but his eyes were very calm.

Xiao Yu deliberately showed a hesitant and tangled expression, lowered her voice and said: "The Prince of Qinghe County taught me half of the 'Jade Pendant Golden Dang Taiji Golden Book'..."

"Is it Li Manman's Immortal Scripture?" The Dog Meat Taoist was really surprised this time.

"Li Manman, the Five-Sword Beauty Li Manman? Why is it her Immortal Scripture?" Xiao Yu asked strangely.

The Dog Meat Taoist said: "Her immortal fate! She opened the immortal ruins, and she also took the risk to get the immortal scripture, of course it is hers.

You are quite lucky, you didn't do anything, and got the scripture for nothing.

But as far as I know, even Li Manman hasn't practiced the Taiji Golden Book."

"Isn't Li Manman the number one courtesan in Shu Kingdom? Why do you say it like she is a cultivator who travels around seeking immortals?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Don't you also run around and cause trouble in the Red Sleeve Workshop?" The Dog Meat Taoist said.

"I am different from her, I am passively involved in all kinds of rotten things.

If it weren't for Ge Qing definitely not letting me go, I would definitely be in Xiaojingxuan now." Xiao Yu said.

The Dog Meat Taoist hesitated: "Li Manman also came from the Teaching Division, and now she has become the foster daughter of the County Prince, still hanging the title of 'Number One Courtesan', it seems to be for the convenience of entering the red dust to temper her heart.

However, she has been in the Luodu area all year round, and I have only seen her from afar once, so I don't know much about her affairs."

"She participates in secret realm adventures, exploring immortal relics, you are also a person in cultivation, don't you look for immortal fate everywhere?" Xiao Yu asked.

Just like in the novel, a certain secret realm opens, and nearby cultivators move upon hearing the news, staging a big drama of exploring the secret realm and killing people to seize treasures.

"I am practicing now." He took a fierce bite of the dog leg meat and chewed it loudly.

Xiao Yu's mouth twitched and said: "Your practice is just eating dog meat?"

"Didn't I give you guidance today? I spent five copper coins to buy ten steamed buns today, helping seven children with weak innate Qi change their tendons and bones, strengthening their internal organs, which is almost defying heaven and changing fate." The Dog Meat Taoist said quite proudly.

Xiao Yu sighed: "Perhaps Pure Yang divine blood really has magical effects, but the demonstration effect is too bad.

Today you helped seven children change their tendons and bones, and the world mistakenly thinks that heart blood has such magical effects.

One passes to ten, ten passes to a hundred, sooner or later, there will be those who love their children too much and take risks, killing people to take blood.

By then, the sin might have to be shared by you."

The Dog Meat Taoist was stunned, muttering: "But I also learned it from others..."

Before him, human blood buns had long become a common "prescription" among the people.

Without him today, there would be other people making divine blood buns.

"Sigh, grasp it yourself, I am still counting on you to give me guidance again!" Xiao Yu said.

The Dog Meat Taoist was made depressed by her, and even lost the interest in eating meat and drinking wine.

He glanced at her forehead and said: "You are very good at causing trouble, a good immortal blessing was made into a catastrophe by yourself.

It's not that the catastrophe cannot be passed, but you continue to make trouble, turning a small ordinary catastrophe into a ten-death-no-life Great Tribulation.

Your life is really hard, you can actually resist such a Great Tribulation.

Sigh, do you know, I was scared to pee my pants today?

For a moment, I even had the realization of turning into ashes with the million people in Tianmen Town."

Xiao Yu smiled: "This shows that your awareness is still too low, you underestimated the selfless, majestic, and virtuous Heavenly Emperor. You want to make progress, but low awareness won't work."

The Dog Meat Taoist covered his ears and shook his head repeatedly, "Don't say it, I can't hear it~~"

"Am I completely fine?" Xiao Yu smiled and said.

The Dog Meat Taoist looked at her again and shook his head: "Currently you are honest and dutiful, probably fine, in the future... I can only give you eight words—follow the will of heaven, worship when you meet a stream."

"I understand following the will of heaven, what does worship when you meet a stream mean?" Xiao Yu asked.

The Dog Meat Taoist shook his head and said: "I don't understand either, I am only responsible for calculation, whether there is a result or no result, I tell the truth.

Anyway, you worship five times when you encounter a stream in the future, it's always right."

"Sigh, also a stupid person without blessing!"

High in the sky, Taibai Star Lord, who had parted ways with the Gongcao Gods, shook his head, rushed straight to the sky, and left the human world completely.

"Stream..." Xiao Yu was confused.

"How long is 'the future'?" She asked again.

"Not clear..." The Dog Meat Taoist used his oily fingers to pick at his hair bun full of hair oil, helplessly saying: "It seems that the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth is about to start again, and the innate Yishu hasn't been very effective recently."

Xiao Yu's heart moved, "What does the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth refer to?"

"Probably related to Nanzhan Zhonghua, not very clear."

—Why are you not clear about anything, and can only say half of it vaguely?

Xiao Yu wanted to complain.

"At least for the last few years, everyone doesn't have to avoid me like I'm a plague god, right?

You explain it to everyone: Heaven's will is with me, the matter is settled, and we can live our little lives as ordinary people just like before."

The Dog-Meat Daoist nodded and said, "There's really no need to avoid you, because it's too late.

Before the fire singed your eyebrows, you could still avoid it, but now that the fire has burned away your life, what's there to avoid?

There's nothing left to burn."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu stared at him and asked.

The Dog-Meat Daoist sighed, "Don't view everyone as being the same as you; we really can't compare to you.

Your life is incredibly tough, but we are just ordinary people.

You've been tossing and turning until now, and your tough life has only suffered slight wear and tear; you can still continue to live and kick for many years.

But our group of ordinary people exhausted our blessings and luck in the collateral damage long ago.

We have nothing left to lose, so there's no need to avoid you."

"What do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Xiao Yu didn't quite understand, but her Kunpeng wisdom was vaguely touched by the Dog-Meat Daoist's words.

Perhaps this guy was right again.

"If you don't understand, just pretend you didn't hear anything. I, too, suffered from the collateral damage.

From now on, I must be cautious in my words and deeds, and live out the rest of my life carefully!

It's just a pity for the common people of Tianmen Town; I don't know how much suffering they will have to endure next.

Sigh, you can't be blamed either; this is all fate.

You originally cultivated a dragon vein that would swallow the Shu Kingdom; the Western Sha destroying Shu was a certainty, it was Heaven's will.

Now the Great Dragon of the sand dunes has been slaughtered, and you, a noble 'Heaven-born Saint,' are imprisoned in Western Shu as a slave.

How could such a great cause and effect that defies Heaven's will disappear easily?

Daoist Qingsong of the Upper State has already paid the price, and next, it should be the turn of the Shu Kingdom and the Li family.

Every drink and every peck has its cause and effect!" the Dog-Meat Daoist said with a bitter smile.
