Li Xiao didn't mean to talk nonsense with Xu Xuan, so he said straight to the point.

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Xu Xuan pointed to himself and said with a confused look: "Guanzhu Li, you want me to help you get rid of the demon?"

Xu Xuan couldn't believe it.

Although Xu Xuan had to climb cliffs and dangerous places because of picking herbs among these mountains, he also developed strong and sharp skills.

But asking him to slay demons, are you sure this is not a joke?

Seeing the confusion in Xu Xuan's eyes, Li Xiao already smiled and said without waiting for the other party to ask: "Don't get me wrong, I am not asking you to go into battle with a sword to kill monsters, but I am asking you to go to the underground palace under the ruins of Xuanqing Temple to help

Arrange a Taoist mechanism, which happens to require the use of Taoist mysticisms such as Qi Men Dun Jia and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Isn't this exactly your strength?"

The reason why Li Xiao came to Snake Catching Village was not for nothing, but to recruit Xu Xuan for his use.

"I'm sorry, I've only learned a little bit about this metaphysics, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help." Xu Xuan showed hesitation: "Besides, all creatures in the world have their own value, even among monsters.

There are those who make trouble, but most of them are ordinary demon spirits."

In Xu Xuan's view, there are many two-legged evil people in the world, and those monsters and monsters may not all be bad, so there is no need to exterminate them all.

This is why Xu Xuanyuan would rather pick herbs to save people than go with the flow and catch snakes. He also deeply hates Taiyin Zhenjun who encourages the snake-hunting villagers to catch snakes.

I would rather save people than kill.

"Really don't think about it anymore?"

"Thank you Guanzhu Li for seeing it. Life is full of hardships but not happy. Ah Xuan just wants to be a quiet villager in the mountains and does not want to get involved in the dispute between humans and monsters."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xuan declined politely.

Seeing Xu Xuan's expression, Li Xiao couldn't help but shake his head.

Xu Xuan is Xu Xian’s previous life.

In The Legend of White Snake, Xu Xian is a dull and cowardly scholar. This image is really hard to like. The reason why everyone likes the story of The Legend of White Snake is largely because of Bai Suzhen.

Compared with the dull and cowardly Xu Xian, Xu Xuan's three flowers are still there, full of energy, full of spirit and energy, so he is agile, smart and brave. Compared with Xu Xian, he is really much better.

.

But in Li Xiao's opinion, Xu Xuan is still too simple and kind, in other words, too much of a holy mother.

But having said that, this is indeed in line with Xu Xuan's character design, or the protagonists in many film and television dramas are more or less like virgins.

It seems that if he wants to persuade Xu Xuan to work for him, he has to use some appropriate means.

Thoughts were surging in his mind. Li Xiao changed his mind and asked again: "Since you also have compassion for monsters, then I will give you two choices. Between saving monsters and destroying monsters, which one will you choose?"

Which one to choose?”

"What does Guanzhu Li mean?"

Xu Xuan's eyes showed confusion.

Li Xiao smiled indifferently and did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he looked at the yellow dog bellyband that was lying on the ground with listless eyelids.

As Li Xiao looked at him, Dudou couldn't help but tremble. For some reason, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He jumped up from the ground, moved his limbs, turned around and ran away.

At this moment, a mysterious magic formula turned into a vague light, popped out from Li Xiao's fingertips, and disappeared into Dudou's body in a flash.

"Woo."

Seeing that magic trick coming, Dudou seemed to have accepted his fate, closed his eyes, and couldn't help but let out a cry of sorrow.

"What did you do to Dudou... Dudou, Dudou, are you okay?"

Seeing this situation, Xu Xuan was horrified. He quickly protected his bellyband in his arms and turned over and over to check the condition of his bellyband. His face was full of worry.

To Xu Xuan's surprise, the bellyband was in good condition, there were no wounds on the body, and the muscles, bones, and organs in the body were not seriously injured, and they did not look like they were injured.

The next moment, under Xu Xuan's surprised gaze, the dog's mouth in the bellyband moved a few times, and he actually said human words: "Axuan, I'm fine... Hey, why can I speak? How is it possible? ,How is this going?

The bellyband actually uttered human words, and towards the end, I became more and more surprised.

Xu Xuan and Dudou looked at each other, dumbfounded, and then looked at Li Xiao in unison.

"I didn't expect that Dudou could talk. It seems that Dudou is a monster."

Facing the hot gazes of Xu Xuan and Dudou, Li Xiao showed a harmless smile and pretended to be surprised: "What's going on? Dudou can actually speak. Could it be a monster? You know, among animals Among them, only the demon spirits can speak."

Xu Xuan shook his head and retorted: "This is obviously because you cast a spell just now."

"But those villagers and officials only believed what they saw in front of them. Just imagine how they would react if they learned that Dudou could spit out human words?"

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth raised a slight arc, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Xu Xuan's expression dimmed and he frowned unconsciously.

If the villagers and officials know this, there is no doubt that Dududu, who speaks human words, will be regarded as a monster and then eradicated or cooked. In short, Duduou will not escape disaster.

Li Xiao put his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment and then said: "Pindao gives you two choices. One is to help me arrange Taoist institutions in the underground palace and build a demon-suppressing magic circle. The other is to watch Dudou die without saving me. "

As the words fell, Xu Xuan fell into silence.

Two options were before him.

One is a monster that he has nothing to do with, while the other has been with him for several years, like a close friend.

Destroy the demon or save Dudou.

Whichever choice you make, the consequences couldn't be clearer.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Xuan finally chose to compromise and nodded in agreement.

"It would be great if we could do this earlier, so as not to waste time."

Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Instead of persuading earnestly, it is more effective to use coercion and inducement, at least it can save those boring and complicated lobbying processes!

Human beings have weaknesses.

As long as you identify the opponent's weakness and use some tricks, anyone who is not a hard-hearted person will change your mind. Li Xiao has tried this trick repeatedly.

Then Li Xiao put away the magic formula and tried it on the other side of the bellyband. Sure enough, no more human words came out and it returned to its original state. Seeing this, Xu Xuan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Although being coerced by someone made Xu Xuan feel a little angry.

But at the same time, he is also a person who keeps his promises. Since he has promised, he will definitely fulfill it. Moreover, he also knows very well that if he goes back on his word midway, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.

This can already be seen from the methods Li Xiao used just now.

At the same time, Xu Xuan was curious about what kind of secrets were hidden in the underground palace under the ruins of Xuanqing Temple.
