Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 468: The Difficulties of Calamity Light

After the short fight, the gambling house was in a mess. The gamblers cowered in the corner, not even daring to breathe. The monks guarding the place were beaten black and blue, and were imprisoned in the corner.

Zhang Miao opened the formation in the chip room and took away all the spiritual stones in the chip room.

This place is not big, and there are not many spiritual stones in the chip room. The total is only a little over 30,000 spiritual stones. Zhang Miao looked at these spiritual stones and said with some disappointment: "Why do you have so many spiritual stones? You are a gambling house here!"

In fact, this is the cash reserve of a normal gambling house. Although gamblers want to exchange their winning chips for spiritual stones, there are also many gamblers who use spiritual stones to exchange for chips. The incoming and outgoing can cancel each other out. In fact, you don't need to prepare a lot of cash to maintain the normal operation of a gambling house.

Zhang Miao didn't quite understand this. He just subconsciously thought that the gambling house was rich, and then he came to buy some spiritual stones. Empiricism kills people.

The beaten Jindanqi guard looked at him coldly. He had never seen such a gangster in his life, but he was not afraid. Although the gambling house was small, not everyone could move it.

Zhang Miao took the spirit stone but did not kill these people. He just walked away. Although thirty thousand spirit stones are not much, it is enough for him to use for a period of time.

After Zhang Miao left, the gamblers started booing. They took their chips to the exchange office and asked to exchange them. This group of gamblers seems to be adding insult to injury. The golden elixir stage monk also stood up at this time and said: "You are all our old customers here. You also know more or less what the backend of our gambling house is. Are you still afraid that we have no money to exchange for you? ? Just wait a moment and someone will come with the money immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three monks hurriedly walked in. One of the monks just wore a smock casually, without taking off the uniform of the city patrol officer underneath.

Captain Zeng quickly took out something like a wat tablet. He clicked on it, and a portrait appeared in front of the golden elixir monk.

In the City Patrol Department, there is a Taoist weapon called the "Supervisory Sky Mirror". This treasure can illuminate the void of the five aggregates and break through the fog of illusion. No person under this mirror can escape. There are numerous imitations of this Taoist artifact. These imitations can connect with the real master, borrow the power of the real master, and also help the monks detect falsehoods. This thing was also widely distributed to the monks of the City Patrol Department. However, if you want to use the power of this righteous master, you need to make a report.

However, the Divine Law Enforcement Bureau has a shortcoming, that is, this agency does not have combat power above the Hedao realm. After all, the highest level of a god is only the cultivation level in the late stage of becoming a god. The lower limit of this organization is high, but the upper limit is limited.

As soon as he said this, these gamblers also knew that there was no profit in this. They laughed and said a few words, and then dispersed.

Zhongzhou City is very large, spanning hundreds of miles in length and breadth, with a population of hundreds of millions. Of course, such a huge city cannot have only one law enforcement agency. There are several law enforcement agencies here, and the Divine Law Enforcement Bureau is just one of them. The Divine Law Enforcement Bureau is a law enforcement unit composed entirely of gods. This organization is very powerful because the gods are at the lowest level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

After the gambler left, Captain Zeng's face finally darkened. He asked the golden elixir monk: "What is going on? Why do people come to steal our spiritual stones? Don't they know whose gambling house this is?"

A person next to him quickly said: "It seems that he is talking about a person with strength in the foundation building stage."

The two people on his left and right nodded, then took out their wat tablets and walked away.

Captain Zeng provides a lot of benefits to the superiors every year, so he can still mobilize this treasure if he wants.
-
Zhang Miao returned to the inn where he was staying with more than 30,000 spirit stones. Rana and Chang'e who went shopping have not come back yet. Zhang Miao sat cross-legged on the inn bed and began to think deeply.

"is it him?"

The Jindan monk also had a depressed look on his face, and he said: "The person who came here looks unfamiliar, like a stupid young man. But he is very powerful, he... He looks like he has the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, but I can't get past him. One move. I have never met such a person.”

Unlike the Divine Law Enforcement Bureau, the City Patrol Department is more responsible for patrols and public security in the city, and deals more with the low-level monks. However, the immediate boss of this organization is a major cultivator in the Hedao realm, and this organization directly belongs to the city lord. The city lord of Zhongzhou City is a super monk who has transcended the seven realms of tribulation, and his strength is one of the best in Zhongzhou City.

"It doesn't look like...it doesn't look like...it's hard to say..." Brother Jindan looked at it carefully. He felt that the person in the wanted notice did not look like the person who robbed him, but the descriptions of the two were somewhat similar, and they were superficial. Foundation building strength, but the true strength is unknown.

He said to his left and right: "Tell the brothers later to check the outsiders carefully." He pondered for a moment and said: "If it doesn't work, just mobilize the Sky Monitoring Mirror. I will go and apply with the boss."

Captain Zeng had several such gambling dens. He doesn't have the ability to run a large casino, but he can get involved in small casinos like this. Although these gambling houses are inconspicuous, they give him very generous income every year. After excluding the cost of up and down management, he can still keep a lot. This money is the capital for his promotion to the gods. Now that someone wants to touch his capital and ruin his future, how can he bear it?

The man named 'Big Brother' said 'Hmm', and then looked at the group of people crowded in front of the exchange office. He smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I have already gone to raise money, and I will be there soon." There will be spiritual stones coming.”

"Foundation-building monk..." Captain Zeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said to the people around him: "Didn't the Law Enforcement Bureau issue a city-wide announcement? What did it say?"

When these people saw him, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. A gambler was now awake. He said nonchalantly: "We didn't mean that. It's okay to keep the chips in our hands. Captain Zeng was joking."

The man named Captain Zeng said with a smile: "It would be great if you could understand us. Life is already very difficult, why do we have to make things difficult for each other? Well, let's continue to play today if we want to. If you don’t want to play, you can keep your chips. If you are really in a hurry to get money, go to the tea shop in front and exchange it. I promise to pay you every penny.”

Captain Zeng sneered and said: "The appearance can be changed, but this stupid young man cannot be changed." He glanced at the messy gambling house, shook his head and said, "Clean it up and open it again. . It’s not like we can’t afford to lose more than 30,000 spirit stones.”

When the Jindan monk saw the person coming, he lowered his head and walked over and said, "Brother, you guys are here..."

There's something strange about him these days!
He brazenly killed two gods and robbed a gambling house today, which was inconsistent with his usual behavior. Although he is not a good person, he will not do bad things. He would never have thought about robbing a gambling house before. But today, he thought of it immediately and put it into practice.

This is different from what he used to do!
Everything happens for a reason. A person will not change drastically without any reason, not to mention that he is not an ordinary person. After he robbed the gambling house today, he felt something was wrong.

Now that he has returned and reflected carefully, he has come to a conclusion.

He was affected by 'Jie Guang'! This is not the first time he has come into contact with the Tribulation Light thing. Normally, this thing is something that only monks above the Tribulation Realm can perceive and utilize. In fact, this thing is somewhat similar to Buddhist 'cause and effect'.

Once you reach a certain level of practice, many things are connected. Buddhism believes that only when there is a cause, there will be an effect. The Taoist sect has difficulties only when there are calamities. If you are not tainted by cause and effect, cause and effect will not haunt you. In the same way, if you are not contaminated by the light of calamity, calamity will not come to you.

Although the tribulation light will haunt you, the tribulation light will not directly kill you. It will affect your destiny in some way and make you have to encounter some troubles. Even if the tribulation light is too strong, it will affect your self-behavior and make you do things to seek death.

For example, if you are plagued by calamity, even if you take a bath at the beach, you will anger the Third Prince of the Dragon King in the sea. Then either the Third Prince will kill you, or you will kill the Third Prince. In any case, this disaster will occur. If you can get through it, then everything will be fine; if you can't get through it, everything will be in ashes.

Then you would say, can I not go to the beach to take a bath? That's okay, you can go to the mountain spring to take a bath, but you might meet the Seven Fairies who also come to take a bath. No matter if you see them or not, you can't escape the charge of being disrespectful. Maybe you will find love, but you will eventually die at the hands of an angry uncle.

The calamity light is like this, it will make reasonable use of everything around it to give you strength, and you won't even think it's a calamity at first. Then wait for you to fall into disaster step by step, and eventually be beyond redemption.

Zhang Miao was practicing in Xuanjie Mountain and had been entangled by many tribulation lights. He is so powerful that the Tribulation Light can't do anything to him in the early stage, but the Tribulation Light will lead him step by step into deeper disasters.

Outside Zhongzhou City, he could have used other means to drive away the gods, but instead he killed him brazenly. Then he will get into trouble with the Divine Law Enforcement Bureau.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he messes with him. If he walks away, can the gods still cross Zhongzhou to hunt him down? The gods cannot leave their residence, the Divine Mansion, too far, and the gods of the Divine Law Enforcement Bureau are also suppressed by various big bosses in Zhongzhou City.

But if Zhang Miao wanted to find Heng Shiqi, he had to go to the city. After entering the city, he failed to find Heng Shiqi to quickly end his trip. He had to stay here before he got into financial difficulties, and then he was influenced by the 'little bit' of light that led him to choose the faster path to money.

The path to making money quickly is also the most punishing path. Now that he has gotten into trouble with the City Patrol Division again, the difficulty has gone to another level...

Although Zhang Miao also thought of this at this time, he did not immediately stay away from this place of right and wrong. He had to wait a while because he still wanted the Yama Demon Pill. If this goal was not achieved, then he did not come in vain. It’s Zhongzhou City.

It's okay if you come here in vain, but if you get into trouble and come in vain, this is a loss of blood...

As a human being, you can't suffer such losses.

When Zhang Miao had this idea, he was actually plotted by Jie Guang again. Of all the calculations, the human heart is the hardest to calculate.

Just when Zhang Miao was deep in thought, the door was opened. Chang'e walked into the room angrily, while Rana kept shouting from behind: "Chang'e, walk slower, be careful not to fall!"

Chang'e sat at the table angrily and said nothing, while Rana accompanied her with a smile, served her tea and water, and patiently comforted her.

Zhang Miao listened for a while and gradually understood what happened. It's not a strange plot, it's just that when Chang'e went to buy rouge and gouache, she was treated differently and ridiculed.

The counter girl who sells rouge and gouache is only a mere foundation-builder, but she has her eyes set higher than her head. He ignored Chang'e, an outsider. Chang'e could tolerate all this, but when the counter sister took out a box of gouache that she claimed had been sold out to the locals, Chang'e finally broke out.

She came here to buy rouge and gouache. The counter sister looked down on her. Although she was unhappy, she could bear it. Anyway, the two of them will not see each other in the future, and it is only right to buy the rouge and gouache that they have longed for.

So, she asked the counter lady why she didn't give her the latest gouache and said it was sold out. As soon as the locals came, she would change hands and take out new goods. Is there such a way to discriminate against customers? Do you really think she can't afford it?

Chang'e's quarrel almost attracted the people from the city patrol department, but the counter girl stopped pretending and said directly: "You just can't afford it, you poor outsider, where can you get the latest gouache?" Affordable? These are reserved for the best customers!”

Chang'e's neck almost grew when she said this, and she immediately wanted to spend money to buy gouache. But the counter girl smiled coldly and said, "You can buy it if you want. You have to arrange the goods. This gouache is not just for sale!"

Once the goods were finally distributed, Chang'e had to spend more than three times the price to buy the gouache, because the goods were all things she didn't like or didn't need. Now she really doesn't have enough money!
Her poverty made her look extremely ugly at that time, while Rana, a stingy man, pretended to be deaf and dumb. Because the price is not a small burden for him. If it was something really useful, he would probably have gritted his teeth and bought it, and Bo Jiaren just smiled.

However, many items in the distribution are defective products, which are used to rip off customers. Linwa feels that he cannot be taken advantage of.

Suddenly, Chang'e was despised by others on the outside and 'betrayed' on the inside. She seemed to fall into a situation of betrayal and separation, which made her almost cry.

She hid her face and ran away, with Rana chasing after her. The two of them passed by several monks from the city patrol department perfectly. The monks from the patrol department looked at them strangely, then entered the gouache shop and asked, "Someone just reported that someone was making trouble here?"

The counter girl curled her lips and said with a sense of superiority: "Let's go, I can't afford to lose face, I was scared away! I said that outsiders are not qualified to use these new gouache, some old ones can be used That’s right. Even if they have money, they just have a few stinky bucks, and they don’t take pictures of themselves!”

The cabinet girl was cursing triumphantly, while the monks from the city patrol department keenly heard the word 'outsider'. They looked at each other and said nothing.

　Recently, the flow of Feng Shui has increased, the activity of spiritual energy is abnormal, and the energy of external evils is strong. I am weak and weak. Unfortunately, external evils enter my body. I occasionally feel wind and cold, and I am almost bedridden.

　　I also ask fellow Taoists to pay attention to the changes in spiritual energy, add more defensive robes, and practice more to strengthen your body to prevent external evils from entering the body and causing many inconveniences.
