The old monk turned around, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said, "These scars are the marks left by the sufferings I experienced many years ago."

His voice was calm and gentle, as if the scars had become part of his life.

Jia Xu couldn't help but frown and asked with concern: "Master, what have you ever experienced?"

The old monk slowly walked to the window, looked at the bright moon outside the window, pondered for a moment, and said, "Everything in the world has its own causes and conditions. All the things I experienced are also part of my life."

The room was silent, and only the moonlight was quietly spreading on the ground.

The old monk turned around, looked at Jia Xu, and smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, these scars have become the past. Now, I pay more attention to my current practice."

Jia Xu nodded silently, full of admiration for the old monk.

At this moment, the breeze outside the window blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

Jia Xu frowned slightly, thinking to himself: "No, the wound on the old monk's back does not look like it was left many years ago, but it seems to be a new addition. Why did he hide the truth?"

He was full of doubts and concerns.

After a while, the old monk turned over and went to bed again.

Jia Xu was confused in his heart: "Do you want to expose the old monk? What is the hidden secret he has? Maybe I should observe it again..."

He lay quietly on the bed, his thoughts surging like a tide.

In the end, Jia Xu decided not to expose the old monk for the time being.

He thought to himself: "When the time is right, I will find another suitable opportunity to ask him. Maybe there is any difficulties in it, and I can't act rashly."

Jia Xu gradually fell asleep.

After a while, a figure appeared outside the door, as if it had merged into the night.

The man approached the window carefully, holding a slender tube in his hand.

At this moment, the man broke the window paper and blew it inside.

A strange fragrance spread instantly, Jia Xu and the old monk were stunned at the last moment, and their bodies gradually collapsed.

Seeing that they had lost consciousness, the man gently pushed open the door and stepped into the house. She was wearing a black night-mounted dress, her face was hidden in the shadows, and only a trace of cold light flashed in her eyes.

The candlelight in the house swayed gently with the breeze, as if adding a hint of mysterious color to the tense atmosphere.

This person is a witch.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

"He is still alive..." The witch looked at Jia Xu and murmured to herself, with an incredible tone in her voice.

The witch stood in front of the old monk, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, and was about to cast spells against him.

At this moment, the old monk suddenly opened his eyes and quickly reached out and grabbed the witch's hand.

The old monk raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "I'm not afraid of your little tricks at all. I'd expected you to come."

The witch stared at the old monk fiercely, her voice sharp and harsh: "You old guy, are so cunning."

The two of them were in a stalemate, and no one was willing to give in.

The old monk held the witch's hand tightly, and his strength gradually increased.

The old monk whispered: "You can't escape, today is your end." His voice was calm and firm.

The witch struggled desperately, and she shouted angrily: "Let me go! You hateful old monk!"

Her face was full of anger and reluctance.

Suddenly, the witch's body began to tremble violently, and her face turned extremely pale.

Seeing this, the old monk laughed: "You monster, you can't beat me after all."

Soon, the old monk easily dismantled the witch.

The witch fell weakly to the ground, and she wondered in her heart: "Why has Lei Tiangui not returned? I haven't sucked blood for a long time, and now my strength has been greatly reduced..."

Her eyes were full of doubt and worry.

The old monk stepped on the witch hard under his feet.

He glared and insulted: "You are such a stupid fool! In this case, it is ridiculous to dare to come to me!"

The witch fell to the ground, a trace of blood spilled out of the corner of her mouth.

She stared at the old monk viciously and said with a voice: "I have ended up in such a field today, and it is unrelated to you, the old monk! Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!"

At this moment, there was a strong smell of blood.

Finally, the old monk raised his foot and stepped on the witch's chest hard, ending her life.

The old monk looked at the witch's corpse and said coldly: "You evil monster, today is your death."

Then, he slowly returned to the bed, closed his eyes, and continued to fall asleep.

Until the morning of the next day, the first ray of sunshine shone in, illuminating the old monk's face.

After a while, Jia Xu slowly woke up. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision gradually became clear, but was scared by the scene in front of him and almost jumped up from the bed.

A corpse was lying across the ground, and a strong smell of blood filled the room.

Jia Xu's heart beating violently, and fine beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.

He calmed down and looked at the corpse, and found that it was a witch.

An inexplicable fear surged in my heart.

Jia Xu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He looked at the witch on the ground, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

The old monk felt a little strange when he saw Jia Xu's reaction.

He asked softly, "Jia Xu, do you know this witch?"

Jia Xu nodded quickly.

The old monk looked at Jia Xu with a pale face and asked softly: "What's going on? Why do you know this witch?"

Jia Xu told the relevant situation.

The old monk frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "This witch has always made a living by sucking the blood of talented people to gain their wisdom and energy. And it is really a strange thing that you can escape from her."

After hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel nervous.

He looked down at the witch on the ground, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'm leaving too. Thank you very much for the donor."

Jia Xu asked anxiously: "Master, how should the witch's body be disposed of?"

The old monk was slightly stunned and said slowly: "Leave it to me, I will deal with it properly."

Jia Xu nodded and looked at the old monk holding the witch's body, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

The old monk came to the shop with his body on his back.

The shop owner happened to be standing at the door. When he saw the old monk carrying a corpse, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and he asked quickly: "Master, what's going on? Why do you come with a corpse on your back?"

The old monk clasped his hands together and said softly: "This is a cause and condition. The fate of this witch is up and down. I need to find a suitable destination for it."

The owner frowned and said with some concern: "Master, will this cause us trouble?"

The old monk smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is determined. I believe this is also her destiny."

After the old monk left, the shop owner looked at his far away back, thinking about something.

After a while, he turned to look at Jia Xu and asked in confusion: "Old Jia, what's going on? How could this old monk and the corpse appear here together?"

Jia Xu sighed and said slowly, "Oh, it's a long story. I have received the favor of the old monk before, so he lived in my room last night. As for how the witch came in, I really don't know."

The shop owner looked at Jia Xu with a serious face, with a reproach in his tone.

"Don't bring such people here again in the future. Forget it this time, fortunately the old monk took the body away, otherwise I don't know what trouble it would cause!"

Jia Xu lowered his head and said helplessly: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Boss, I will pay attention to it in the future."

The owner continued, "Also, your room has already appeared and is unclean. You must find a Taoist priest to clean it up later, so as not to attract any unclean things."

Jia Xu frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Is this... necessary?"

The owner glared at him and said, "Why is it unnecessary? This is related to the peace of our store! The money you need to find a Taoist priest will be deducted from your wages."

Jia Xu sighed helplessly:

The owner is really stingy!

If you admit it, just deduct it from your own wages.
