Volume One: Mountain Ghost Rumor, Chapter 60: When the time comes and you don't act, you will suffer the consequences

Xie Wan pushed open the window of her boudoir and looked far away at the wilderness outside Youju Town.

Demons exploded strangely batch after batch, and the essence of blood, flesh, and bones flowed toward the private school in the town.

If she didn't know who Pan Xi was now, she would really be stupid beyond measure.

Playing with the pressing-clothes knife in her hand, she pondered for half a stick of incense, washed up hastily, changed into exquisite clothes, went downstairs leisurely, walked out of the Xizhao Inn, turned her head to look at this "cage" that had trapped her for eight years, smiled, walked through Taoli Lane, stepped on the field ridges, and walked toward the private school.

She happened to see Wang Huan running out of the private school in a hurry and leaving from Daguan Lane. He should have gone to Nongsui Lane to find that Demon Slayer of the County Division.

Lifting her skirt, Xie Wan displayed her soft and charming side to the fullest, smiling sweetly: "Is Sir in?"

"So it's you." Mr. Pan looked at her with a faint smile. "Not bad."

Xie Wan deliberately puffed out her proud chest: "I didn't disturb you, Sir, did I?"

He shook his head: "There is still some time."

"Sir, I am here to ask for advice this time."

"You, you are too anxious, why not wait."

"I can't wait." Xie Wan smiled charmingly, glancing at the bamboo planted in the private school courtyard. "I am these bamboo now. If the wind blows a little harder, I will be uprooted."

"What about your senior brother?"

"He went to find Xiaoshui. Xiaoshui has a junior sister named Tang Yi, who is one of the two Thousand-Household Officials of the Ze County Demon Slayer Division, with the cultivation of the Lower-grade Knowing Fate Realm."

"Her, she should be at the end of her lifespan."

"Sir's prediction is not wrong at all."

"The Demon Slayer Division has pills for extending lifespan, and the name is very direct, called Life-Extending Pill, which is divided into three grades like the realm. Lower-grade extends ten years, Mid-grade thirty years, and Upper-grade sixty years. At the beginning, I did a big thing for the Lingzhou City Demon Slayer Division, and they gave me a Mid-grade Life-Extending Pill. The taste was very good, like eating mountain fruit. Since Thousand-Household Tang came to Youju Town, she must have used tricky means to make a contribution, letting the Goucha Court know, and had no choice but to defect here. Xiaoshui should be her fellow apprentice or relative."

Xie Wan was shocked: "Sir is really a god."

Immediately, she borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and told the conspiracy of A Ping, Xiaoshui, and Tang Yi without any reservation.

After listening, Mr. Pan laughed loudly and asked: "What do you want?"

"Sir, I am indeed here to ask for advice. May I ask if there is a young man in Youju Town who is on good terms with me? Can I take him away?"

"This kind of advice." Mr. Pan said straightly, "It's not that you are not qualified, it's that none of you are qualified."

"..." Xie Wan was puzzled. "The student doesn't understand what you mean, Sir."

"If you don't understand, you don't understand. The less you know, the safer you are. The more you know, the more you will be in danger of your life," he said.

Xie Wan bit her red lower lip. "The student understands."

Mr. Pan said, "Since you call me Sir, naturally I can't let you call me in vain. Did the Xuanwei Sect lose a Low-grade Spirit Artifact?"

Her eyes lit up: "Exactly, the sect lost an imitation Demon-Illuminating Mirror sixty years ago, which sealed a Three-Tailed Demon Fox."

"Coincidentally, I got this imitation Demon-Illuminating Mirror forty-eight years ago by killing and robbing. Since it is something lost by the Xuanwei Sect, let it return to its original owner."

Xie Wan bowed down regardless of her demeanor: "The student will never forget Sir's great kindness! The Xuanwei Sect will keep Sir's high righteousness in mind! After returning to the sect, the student will definitely tell the Sect Master and all the elders about Sir's kindness in detail."

"By the way, I remember that A Ping of the Xuanwei Sect died here, right?"

"Ah?!" Xie Wan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Senior Brother A Ping encountered the Demon Slayer Division traitor Tang Yi. Senior Brother killed Tang Yi to eliminate harm for the people, but was also seriously injured and accidentally died."

Mr. Pan smiled: "Will the Xuanwei Sect believe it?"

"They have to believe it even if they don't." Xie Wan's expression was terrified, biting her teeth, and said decisively.

Mr. Pan said: "It doesn't matter if they don't believe it. If no one says it, the Xuanwei Sect won't know how A Ping died."

Just a moment ago, he was speaking kindly and wanted to give her the imitation Demon-Illuminating Mirror, but in an instant, he wanted to cut the weeds and remove the roots, leaving no future trouble.

Xie Wan said anxiously: "Sir, I... I will keep my mouth shut and will never say it. Please believe me."

"I am a wild cultivator, I have deceived many people, and I don't know how many promises I have made..."

"I... I swear to heaven."

"Useless." Mr. Pan shook his head. "Is it okay if I take a strand of your heart blood?"

Xie Wan's apricot eyes widened, and after a long time, she nodded: "Okay."

Mr. Pan reached out and grabbed a handful from her heavy chest in the air, opened his palm, and a drop of scarlet fresh blood floated. "Have you heard of the Blood Curse Technique?"

"I have heard of it."

"I will apply a blood curse to this drop of heart blood. As long as you are cautious in your words and actions, you will be unharmed. Otherwise, you will not die well." Mr. Pan said lightly. "Don't worry, I won't do any small tricks in secret. You can check it later."

He closed his eyes, recited words, and after only three or four breaths, returned the heart blood to Xie Wan: "Check it yourself."

Xie Wan held the fresh blood with both hands and immediately realized that the curse applied by Mr. Pan only made her cover up all his words and deeds.

"After checking that it is correct, swallow the heart blood back."

Without hesitation, Xie Wan swallowed the drop of heart blood as ordered.

"This is the Low-grade Spirit Artifact Demon-Illuminating Mirror." Mr. Pan took the imitation Demon-Illuminating Mirror from his storage bag and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Sir, for your mercy, thank you, Sir, for your mercy..."

"Heh, I am a little curious, why did you suddenly find me?"

"The student thought carefully about the cause and effect and found that this place is a cage set by you, Sir. We outsider cultivators are all stupid things cleverly attracted by you, Sir. You must have a backhand to close the cage and catch turtles in a jar. Since that's the case, it's better to take the initiative to surrender, perhaps you will be merciful and spare my life."

Mr. Pan laughed: "Smarter than your senior brother."

"He is a complete hypocrite, flowery words, no profit, no early rising, and his heart is dark and sinister..."

Xie Wan paused suddenly, and in an instant, she realized that Mr. Pan gave her the imitation Demon-Illuminating Mirror, wasn't it because he had already seen through A Ping's purpose?

Immediately asked in a low voice, "Sir already knew our identities in advance?"

Mr. Pan smiled: "I was taught techniques by a master, and I refined the luck of this place and several big mountains. Now, I am Youju Town, and Youju Town is me. If you want to kill me, first crush all the commoners here and those big mountains. Hmph, the Middle Five Realms disciples of Baoyu Studio and Hengwu Pavilion don't know the truth that there are people outside people and heaven outside heaven, and they actually want to kill me? Wishful thinking!"

"That master is simply a god-like figure, and Sir's methods are also superb."

He waved his hand: "It's not that simple. I haven't refined the luck for long. Although I could have taken action long ago, sigh, I have to finish the master's entrustment."

"The master is..."

"Before, you saw him every day."

"Ah?"

"Your senior brother is here, stay here or go back to the Xizhao Inn?"

Xie Wan hurriedly said: "I won't disturb your big event, Sir, I'd better go back to the inn."

Mr. Pan nodded, patted her on the shoulder, and the world spun. After calming down, Xie Wan was already in her boudoir.

She murmured: "Not a god, but better than a god. This method of refining luck is unheard of."

Bai Yuqing was indifferent, as if letting Mr. Pan act recklessly.

Seeing that the Pacification Envoy of the Demon Slayer Division was calm and composed, Huangfu Changqiu and Xun Lan stood by and watched with the mentality of watching the fun. They didn't know where Bai Yuqing's confidence came from. Curiosity is curiosity, but they decided not to take action. If they didn't take action, they didn't take action. At worst, all the commoners in Youju Town would die in front of Bai Yuqing, and when the Goucha Court of the Demon Slayer Division asked for accountability, she would rack her brains to find a reason.

Zhao Chan looked up at the stream of demon flesh and blood condensing toward the private school, and the last trace of doubt about Mr. Pan in his heart was pulled away.

The Hundred Treasure Zhen Pan Xi was the teacher of the Youju Town private school.

Hundred-Household Kong looked at Bai Yuqing, looked at Huangfu Changqiu and Xun Lan, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and mentioned some words, stopping talking.

Bai Yuqing glanced at him: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Yes, Bai Pacification Envoy. This subordinate is incompetent. In order to kill the old Jiao of Wangqing River, I took the Anger Origin Spirit Ascension Pill, and my body suffered sequelae. Now I cannot slay demons."

"Hmm, I know."

"Bai Pacification Envoy, are we not going to do something?" Kong Yanxing asked anxiously.

Bai Yuqing asked back: "Do what?"

"Such a scene, the visitor is not good!"

"You only see the surface, you don't recognize the inside, so you naturally feel that the visitor is not good."

"Please enlighten me, Bai Pacification Envoy."

She sighed: "If my guess is correct, the many demons in Fei Mountain are all livestock raised by Pan Xi."

Kong Yanxing was horrified.

Zhao Chan looked calmly at the direction of the private school, pursing his lips.

Bai Youjun reached out, wanting to hold Zhao Chan, but shrank back.

Zhao Chan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Bai Pacification Envoy, I want to find Mr. Pan."

"What for?"

"Ask him a question," Zhao Chan said.

Bai Yuqing shook her head: "You don't need to find him, he will take the initiative to appear in front of us. After all, the Pacification Envoy of the Demon Slayer Division is here. If he doesn't explain things clearly, even if he lives a second life, he will definitely not last long."

By now, the three of Bai Yuqing had already understood Pan Xi's methods.

Pan Xi sitting here is a fishing line, a fishing hook, fishing for those goods who covet treasures, just willing to take the bait. The cave abode hiding many treasures is just a blindfold, a carefully compiled story.

It was precisely this blindfold, this story, that even Bai Yuqing was tricked by.

But it doesn't mean Bai Yuqing is not as good as Pan Xi. Once she understood his methods, she could kill him.

It just needs to sweep away the luck of this place and then crush a few big mountains. For Bai Yuqing, it is not difficult.

"This wild cultivator who calls himself Hundred Treasure Zhen really has some means," Huangfu Changqiu smiled.

Xun Lan nodded: "Refining the luck of this place and becoming a strange existence between the City God and the Mountain God, and then reshaping the flesh and stripping away the luck to live a second life. This subtle technique is the first time I have seen it. It is no wonder we couldn't kill him."

She paused.

Xun Lan said slowly and extremely seriously: "It can be called an immortal art."

"This kind of method is only allowed once, not twice. It will be envied by heaven. I don't know who taught him." Huangfu Changqiu was surprised. The key is who taught Pan Xi. She absolutely doesn't believe that a mere wild cultivator could get such a subtle technique.

Wang Huan ran over panting, first looking at Bai Yuqing and Bai Youjun, whom he had been looking for for a long time, and then looking at Huangfu Changqiu and Xun Lan.

Kong Yanxing said: "Hurry and pay respects to the Bai Pacification Envoy."

"Ah?!" Wang Huan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why are you standing there like a fool? Hurry and pay respects to the Bai Pacification Envoy!!" Kong Yanxing emphasized his tone.

"Oh, okay, okay." Wang Huan paid respects to Bai Yuqing at a loss. "Wang Huan, a Warrior of the Youju Town Demon Slayer Division, pays respects to the Bai Pacification Envoy."

Bai Yuqing nodded. In her eyes, Wang Huan, this Demon Slayer Warrior, was derelict in his duty.

Wang Huan hurriedly reported the miserable state of the demons outside Youju Town and the conversation with Pan Xi after chasing to the private school to her.

"Today is like the New Year for Pan Xi. Since it is the New Year, of course, he has to slaughter the livestock he raised to eat meat."

"Bai Pacification Envoy, this... do you want to find Pan Xi?"

Wang Huan was not only shocked but also confused. The meaning of the Bai Pacification Envoy was that the demon disaster that happened in the past few days was all caused by the demons raised by Pan Xi.

Bai Yuqing asked Zhao Chan: "What do you think should be done?"

"Bai Pacification Envoy, can Mr. Pan control demons?"

"No."

"May I ask the Bai Pacification Envoy again, did Mr. Pan deliberately let the demons down the mountain?"

"Yes."

"There should be punishment from the Demon Slayer Division."

"Reason?"

"The demon disaster was raised by him, and he deliberately let the demons down the mountain to do evil, so he should be punished."

Bai Yuqing raised her eyebrows and didn't answer.

Kong Yanxing glanced at Wang Huan and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The things that happened in Youju Town, in the final analysis, were because Wang Huan didn't report in time. After so many years, he was actually blind. If it followed the process of the Demon Slayer Division, the Prefecture Division would have already sent someone to solve this matter. How could there be this mess now?

But it can't be completely blamed on him. Who knows what means Pan Xi used to bewitch the minds of Wang Huan and others? Besides, there were so many outsider cultivators in Youju Town, most of whom were in the Qi Gathering Realm, and they had many means to confuse them.

Huangfu Changqiu smiled: "Young master, the Demon Slayer Division is also full of human feelings. You are a Demon Slayer, don't be too upright."

"Pan Xi is out," Xun Lan said softly.

Everyone walked to the lane and happened to see Pan Xi passing by.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Chan, smiling: "How many of the principles I taught you have you remembered?"

"What you taught, Sir, the student dare not forget."

"Haha... tell me which principles you like?"

"Do your best and leave the rest to heaven."

"Not bad, this sentence is what I let you remember firmly. What else?"

The young man passed several people and walked toward Pan Xi step by step.

Bai Youjun shouted anxiously: "Young master! Don't go! It's dangerous!"

She was about to pull Zhao Chan, but was stopped by Bai Yuqing. "Don't worry, he is not in danger."

"Sister..." Bai Youjun said in a very low voice, "Is the young master really safe?"

"Hmm." Bai Yuqing transmitted her voice to her. "Zhao Chan's protector is him."

"Sir once taught us, know when to stop and then have stability, stability and then can be quiet, quiet and then can be peaceful, peaceful and then can think, think and then can get."

"Good, good, good. You can remember this sentence, my heart is very comforted. Compared to a Demon Slayer, you are more suitable to be a scholar."

Zhao Chan reached Pan Xi's side and asked: "Sir, why did it come to this?"

"'Why did it come to this'?" Pan Xi's smile gradually calmed down.

A Ping and Tang Yi appeared outside the town.

He pointed to the two: "My lifespan is exhausted, but my desires are not. In order to live, I set up this game of chess. You see, they are all chess pieces that have entered the chessboard.

Just wait a moment, I will kill them, and then talk to you."

Pan Xi turned to look into Zhao Chan's eyes: "Let me teach you another principle: 'If heaven gives and you don't take it, you will suffer the consequences; if the time comes and you don't act, you will suffer the consequences.'" ===== CHAPTER 61 =====

Pan Xi turned to look into Zhao Chan's eyes: "Let me teach you another piece of wisdom: 'If Heaven gives, but one does not take, one will instead suffer the blame; if the time arrives, but one does not act, one will instead suffer the calamity.'"
