Chapter 773 Du Bishu's Fate
Although Du Bishu is a compulsive gambler, he still knows what is important and what is not.

Seeing that the people from the Ghost King Sect had also moved into Shanhai Garden, he was so scared that he quickly ran back to Dong Garden and reported the situation to Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er.

"Junior Brother, Junior Sister, now that the Ghost King Sect has appeared, we don't know where the people from the Blood Refining Hall are. How about we move to another place?"

Du Bishu only has the fourth level of Jade Purity Realm cultivation and doesn’t even have a magic weapon.

If the people from the Ghost King Sect or other evil sects want to cause trouble, he will be a complete loser in battle!

"Sixth Senior Brother, there's no need to change. This is Heyang City, the territory of our Qingyun Sect!"

Su Mingzhe gently waved his hand, signaling Sixth Senior Brother not to panic and to calm him down, then he smiled and said:
"Let's not talk about the fact that the Ghost King Sect's people are just average in strength, they are just a little stronger than you. Even if there really are masters coming, we can still mobilize people!"

As the leader of the righteous path, Qingyun Sect has over a thousand disciples, including more than twenty masters in the Shangqing realm.

The flying speed of the masters in the Shangqing Realm is still very fast. They can reach the destination within an hour with a straight-line distance of 300 miles!
Therefore, Su Mingzhe reminded Du Bishu that he didn't need to be afraid.

"That's right, Sixth Brother, even if we need to change hotels, they should do it!"

Tian Ling'er grew up with Tian Buyi and his wife. She didn't learn much else, but she was particularly good at exorcising demons and monsters.

If she wasn't so weak, she would have rushed in immediately and killed all the people from the Ghost King Sect on the spot!

"Junior brother, are they really not strong?"

Du Bishu felt that the other party's strength was unfathomable, so he began to panic.

But if the other party’s strength is really only slightly higher than his and his junior sister’s, then what is he afraid of?

Thinking of this, he immediately felt more confident.

Thinking about what happened just now, he actually wanted to retreat without fighting. His face turned red. His performance just now was too embarrassing for Dazhu Peak.

"The strongest among them is probably at the sixth or seventh level of Jade Purity Realm."

Su Mingzhe explained his estimated situation and then said with a smile:

"Don't worry. I predict that they entered Heyang City to temporarily avoid the Blood Refining Hall's search and arrest. They would never dare to cause trouble or stir up any incident."

Su Mingzhe's guess was correct.

After the Ghost King Sect's men entered Shanhai Garden, they ordered some food and wine, then immediately locked the gate, not daring to show their faces again for fear of attracting their enemies.

When the wine and food came, the sleepy Bi Yao was awakened by her mother. After eating something, everyone's tense mood was slightly relieved.

The maidservant beside him saw Hu Xiaochi put down his chopsticks after taking two bites, and hurriedly comforted him:
"Madam, we have already sent out a distress signal. I believe that the master will be able to bring people here soon!"

"You don't need to comfort me. The Blood Refining Hall dared to attack Fox Mountain this time. They must have calculated that the Sect Master would not be able to spare any time to rescue them."

Hu Xiaochi's delicate face was filled with sorrow, and he sighed as he spoke:

"At this moment, I'm afraid the Sect Master is in a more dangerous situation than us!"

Seeing that her mistress was so smart and had anticipated everything, the maidservant did not dare to say anything more.

"Okay, you guys should eat something and get some rest early. We'll leave here tomorrow!"

Although Hu Xiaochi led everyone into Heyang City, it did not mean that Heyang City was a safe area for them.

At that time, they were completely following the figure of Su Mingzhe himself.

If their address is exposed, even if the people from the Blood Refining Hall don't come looking for them, other enemies from the Ghost King Sect may show up.

For example, Qingyun Sect!
Therefore, Hu Xiaochi tried hard to regulate his breathing, trying to recover his strength as soon as possible, and then escape with his daughter.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Hu Xiaochi felt that the vitality in his body had almost recovered, so without hesitation, he led his people to check out and leave.

"Really gone?"

Ever since the people from the Ghost King Sect showed up last night, Du Bishu has been keeping a close eye on them and hasn't dared to rest.

Seeing the people from the Ghost King Sect leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to East Garden to report the good news to Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er.

"Okay, Sixth Brother, you worked hard last night, get some sleep, Seventh Brother and I will go out for a walk and bring you some delicious food when we come back."

Tian Ling'er still trusts Su Mingzhe more.

Since Su Mingzhe said there was no danger, she believed that she was safe.

So she rested well last night and now looks full of energy.

"Well, you guys go out for a walk first, I'm going to stay and catch up on some sleep."

Du Bishu rolled his eyes a few times, yawned, and walked towards the bedroom.

Su Mingzhe didn't bother to pay attention to Du Bishu's thoughts, and walked towards the street outside with Tian Ling'er.

In the dimension of "Zhu Xian", there is no suppression from the dynasty capital, and the commercial economy is particularly developed.

Heyang City has a permanent population of 200,000 to 300,000, and one-tenth of them are engaged in commercial activities.

Su Mingzhe took Tian Ling'er out to play for a day.

Tian Ling'er found everything curious and bought a lot of food, drinks, clothes and daily necessities.

Su Mingzhe walked along the way, but he neither found any beautiful women nor found any treasures.

A day wasted in vain.

While they were shopping, they also met many disciples of Qingyun Sect.

These people didn't know Su Mingzhe very well, but they were very familiar with Tian Ling'er.

After all, Tian Ling'er is the only daughter of Tian Buyi, the abbot of Dazhu Peak, and all the disciples of Qingyun Sect know a little about her.

With the greetings and guidance of these Qingyun Sect disciples, the two of them avoided a lot of unnecessary detours when they were shopping. They played until the evening, and when the curfew began, the two of them returned to Shanhai Garden.

After washing and bathing.

Su Mingzhe ordered another meal of delicacies from land and sea, preparing to slowly enjoy the food with Tian Ling'er.

Who would have thought that Tian Ling'er, looking at the table full of delicious food, could not help but not move her chopsticks. Instead, she looked at her senior brother eagerly and said with a somewhat sincere tone:
"Seventh Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother has slept for a whole day. He should be awake by now. Shall we go and call him to eat together?"

"Sixth Senior Brother is not in the guest room. He has gone out to play as well."

Su Mingzhe was also afraid that there might be remnants of the Blood Refining Hall and the Ghost King Sect in Heyang City, which might pose a danger to Du Bishu, so he had been keeping an eye on Du Bishu with his spiritual sense.

At this time, Tian Ling'er wanted to ask Du Bishu to have dinner, and Su Mingzhe explained:
"Sixth Senior Brother is still losing money in the gambling house. Let's not disturb his fun."

Su Mingzhe took Tian Ling'er to have a candlelight dinner, and then they went to rest.

The next morning.

Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er finished their meditation and saw Du Bishu coming back from outside with swollen eyes and yawning.

"Sixth Brother, you smell weird?"

Before Du Bishu came close, Tian Ling'er smelled a strange odor on him, and quickly covered her nose and moved aside.

"Sixth Senior Brother is possessed by the spirit of bad luck, Junior Sister, let's stay away from him."

Su Mingzhe also noticed that there was something wrong with Du Bishu's aura, so he distanced himself from him.

Du Bishu turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the words directed at him by the two men. He just walked into the yard, sat on a stone bench with a dull look in his eyes, and began to wonder why he had been gambling for a whole day and night but did not win a single bet.

"Seventh Senior Brother, what does 'possession by the spirit of bad luck' mean?"

Tian Ling'er is young and asks questions when she doesn't understand something.

Su Mingzhe did not hide anything and directly explained to his junior sister what the 'God of Misfortune' was:
"The God of Misfortune is a broom star in the sky. If he touches someone, that person will fall down when walking, get food stuck in their teeth when eating, and choke when drinking water! In a word, nothing will go smoothly for that person."

"There is a record of this incident in the biography left by our Qingyun Sect's founder Qingyunzi. Haven't you read it?"

"no!"

Tian Ling'er was still young. When she was at Dazhu Peak, her daily tasks, apart from practicing Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, were mainly about playing.

Studying and the like are things that adults should do, so it has nothing to do with Tian Ling'er.

As Su Mingzhe and Tian Ling'er chatted, Du Bishu finally came to his senses. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he hurried to Su Mingzhe's side, with a bit of flattery in his eyes, and said in a flattering way:

"Seventh Brother, you just said that I was possessed by some 'bad luck spirit'. How do I get rid of this thing?"

"If you can't break it, you can only replace it!"

Seeing that Du Bishu had lost for a whole day and night but was still not devastated enough, Su Mingzhe was impressed by him.

"How to change?"

Du Bishu was a little surprised, and then asked:

"What to exchange for?"

Su Mingzhe showed a playful expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Sixth Brother, do you know why you have the luck of being possessed by the God of Misfortune?"

"why?"

Du Bishu was indeed very surprised by this matter.

He has loved gambling since he was a child, but for some reason, he always loses nine times out of ten.

Some things that are sure to succeed will be reversed in the end.

Even in the past ten years, after he became Qingyun's disciple, he lost all the gambling games he gambled and never won a single bet.

This is strange!

This "possession by the god of bad luck" is too powerful, isn't it?

"Sixth Senior Brother, as the saying goes, there is gain and loss, and there is loss and gain!"

After Su Mingzhe said a few words, he explained to him:
"'Possessed by the God of Misfortune' is actually a kind of aptitude. After you became my disciple, this aptitude automatically evolved into the aptitude for cultivation. In other words, since you became my disciple, as your cultivation becomes stronger, your 'Possessed by the God of Misfortune' physique will also become stronger!"

"Where in the world is there such a talent for cultivation?"

The corner of Du Bishu's mouth twitched:
"Seventh Brother, stop messing around, I'm talking to you seriously!"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Su Mingzhe flipped his hand, took out a scroll of bamboo slips, spread it out, pointed to a passage, and asked Du Bishu to read it himself:

"Sixth Senior Brother, take a look for yourself. This is the physiognomy book that Fourth Senior Brother hid. It clearly states that your 'possession by the spirit of bad luck' is also called 'five deficiencies and three disadvantages'!"

Du Bishu took the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully.

He originally thought that Su Mingzhe's words were meant to scare him, but when he actually flipped through the physiognomy book, his face suddenly turned green!

"'Possessed by the god of bad luck', also known as 'Five drawbacks and three deficiencies in destiny'! To break this kind of destiny, one must destroy one's five sense organs, seven orifices, four limbs, and meridians..."

Du Bishu looked back and forth three or four times, his face turning green and then pale!
After a long time, he finally walked back to his bedroom in despair.

"Seventh Senior Brother, will Sixth Senior Brother be okay?"

It was the first time that Tian Ling'er saw her sixth senior brother, who had always been lively, so distraught and dejected.

"It's okay. He hasn't slept for two days and two nights. He just needs a day's rest."

Su Mingzhe didn't care about Du Bishu's situation at all. He waved his hand to put away the bamboo slips, then asked Tian Ling'er to prepare for dinner. The two of them had to continue shopping later.
