White Snake: I am a Swordsman

Chapter 57 Where did this stinky monk come from?

How brave! Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes were filled with evil.

A faint green light flashed from her fingertips, and she chopped the red nails with her bare hands. Then she stepped hard, and her body attacked the black shadow like a green snake spitting out its tongue.

"Hey!" The black shadow was startled.

He turned around in panic and tried to escape.

But Xiaoqing was much faster than him. In just a moment, Xiaoqing grabbed his shoulder and threw him into the alley.

At this time, three red nails fell to the ground one after another, making crisp sounds.

"Ouch!" The black shadow rolled on the ground in pain.

Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be an old Taoist priest with shifty looks!
Li Gongfu realized it later. He turned around, took a look at the red nails on the ground, and immediately realized what had happened.

"who?"

"What a courage!"

He was filled with shock and anger, and drew his sword, putting it against the old Taoist's neck.

The old Taoist's eyes rolled around. He looked at Li Gongfu, then at Xiaoqing, and suddenly grinned.

"hey-hey!"

The laughter was shrill and unpleasant to the ear.

"Shut up!" Li Gongfu yelled, "How dare you use a hidden weapon to hurt someone in broad daylight? Come with me to the government office!"

At this moment, the old Taoist's head suddenly swelled.

Gray hair emerged from under the skin, the mouth protruded forward, and the beard extended to the sides. In the blink of an eye, the human head turned into an ugly rat head!

"Monster!" Li Gongfu was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Xiaoqing looked stern, but Xiaobai held her wrist tightly.

The old Taoist priest opened his mouth and spat out a fishy smell.

It leaped up and onto the roof, and disappeared in a few jumps.

"Brother-in-law, are you okay?" Xu Xian pretended to be panicked. He supported Li Gongfu, but actually he was checking Li Gongfu's pulse.

Strong and powerful, no trouble.

"Brother-in-law, did you see that?" Li Gongfu said incredulously, "That was a monster just now!"

Xu Xian nodded.

"No, sister-in-law!" Li Gongfu looked at Xiaoqing, "You are so skilled that you can actually throw the monster to the ground?"

"This is just the beginning." Xiaoqing raised her chin, with pride in her eyes.

She thought to herself, that guy smells like a rat. If my sister hadn’t stopped me, I would have stabbed it to death with one sword!
"Brother-in-law, the monster came in a strange way, maybe it is related to this epidemic." Xiaobai reminded.

Li Gongfu calmed down and said with deep conviction: "That's right, this monster didn't come earlier or later, but came when my brother-in-law gave me the prescription. It must be related to this pandemic!"

"I'll report this to Dayin right away!"

He turned his head to look at Xu Xian, and said with concern: "Brother-in-law, don't go to remote places, be sure to pay attention to safety!"

"Yeah." Xu Xian nodded slightly, "I know."

He thought that it was probably just as Xiaobai said, that monster was the source of the plague in the city.

My brother-in-law reported this matter and provided the prescription, achieving two great feats in one go, which will definitely impress the prefect.

"I'm leaving first!" Li Gongfu said goodbye to Xu Xian and ran towards the government office.

"Sir, the monster may come back."

Xiaobai held Xu Xian's hand and said worriedly, "Xiaoqing and I will accompany you. We will go home together later."

The Baoan Hall was crowded with people.

The mountains of medicine packs were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon they were all used up.

When Xu Xian and his two companions walked into Heizhuer Lane, the neighbors in the lane all gave them friendly looks.

"Is Doctor Xu back?"

"Thank you, Dr. Xu, for curing my wife!"

"Doctor Xu, these freshly picked oranges are very sweet. Take some home and have a taste!"

"Eat a persimmon, Doctor Xu!" "Doctor Xu, your medical skills are amazing!"

Xu Xian calmly dealt with the neighbors in the alley, and before he reached the door of his house, he had several bags of fresh fruits in his hands.

Xu Xian is so popular that Xiaobai and Xiaoqing are no longer surprised by it.

"what!"

"Why is the door open?" Xiaoqing was peeling an orange and suddenly looked surprised.

Xu Xian and Xiaobai raised their heads.

From a distance, I saw the gate of the courtyard was wide open and the lock on the door was missing!

Xu Xian and Xiaobai looked at each other.

"Sir, your house won't be robbed, right?" Xiaobai frowned.

She thought, this is my husband and I’s wedding room, and the wedding characters have not been removed yet.

Xu Xian was also a little surprised: "I don't know."

Given his popularity in Heizhuer Lane, if someone picked the lock of his house, they would probably be driven away by the neighbors.

"I'll go and take a look!" Xiaoqing stuffed the peeled orange into Xiaobai's hand, then quickened her pace and walked towards the yard alone.

She came to the gate of the courtyard and looked inside.

"Where did this stinky monk come from?"

She raised her eyebrows and said nastily, "Who let you into our house? Where's the lock on the door?"

Monk? Xiaobai's expression changed.

She had a bad feeling, so she took Xu Xian's hand and quickened her pace.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a hunchbacked old monk sitting in the yard. He was holding Buddhist beads in his hands and wearing a simple yellow robe.

I made myself some tea and was sipping it leisurely.

Even when Xiaoqing scolded him, he did not react.

Xiaobai looked solemn.

She thought to herself, this day has finally come.
Fahai!

She didn't sense any fluctuations in magical power from the old monk, but when she saw a monk who could remain so calm after breaking into someone else's house, she could only think of Fahai.

Xiaoqing also thought of this. She snorted coldly and said hostilely, "Old monk, you are not chanting in the temple, but you come to our house to open the door and pick the lock!"

"If your Buddha knew about this, I'm afraid he would expel you from Buddhism, right?"

The old monk sipped his tea and smiled without saying a word.

Xiaobai looked at the old monk with vigilance in his eyes.

As far as she knew, Fahai was an accomplished monk who hated demons and evil spirits. He must have come here to capture her and Xiaoqing!
"Old monk, do you want to go out by yourself, or do you want me to ask you to go out?" Xiaoqing's voice became cold. Although she had survived the dragon disaster, her eyes were still full of wildness, like a giant python that was choosing its prey.

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.

Xiaobai calmly stood in front of Xu Xian, mentally prepared to take action.

At this time, Xu Xian called out, "Senior Brother?"

The old monk put down the teacup, looked at Xu Xian carefully, and then said kindly, "Junior brother."

The word "junior brother" dissipated the tense atmosphere.

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing looked at each other.

Xiaobai was the first to react. She breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that this old monk was not Fahai.

It’s okay if it’s not!

He was neither Fahai nor did she detect any fluctuation of magical power from the old monk, which meant that the old monk was a mortal!
Isn't it easy to fool a mortal monk?
"Junior brother, I can't wait for you, so come in and sit down first. You don't mind, right?" The old monk smiled. His smile was so friendly that even Xiaoqing's hostility towards him disappeared unconsciously.

"Of course I don't mind!" Xu Xian looked happy.

At this time, Xiaoqing remembered the invitation card that Xu Xian had burned. She asked curiously, "Old monk, your name is Duobao?"

The old monk nodded, his expression calm.

"It is the old monk."
