Chapter 64: The Walking Head
The tavern business is very cold, and at the moment it is just eating, but there is only one table of customers, I really don't know how to maintain this business. Looking at the degree of tacit understanding between Dongfang Yichen and this couple, he is like an old friend for many years, and he obviously often comes to take care of their business.
Dongfang Yichen got up and walked to Tao Chan's side, took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his arms, put it in his hand, and said, "This medicine is found by the eldest brother, you try it first, he said that the scroll of rouge lips appeared in the hands of a foot-washing maid in our house." โ
"What?" The man clenched the medicine bottle, trembling all over, and suddenly held Yichen's hands tightly, and said excitedly: "The eldest young master really said that?"
"Yes. So, don't give up on yourself, you can always find a way. Dongfang Yichen looked at the man firmly.
"I know, thank you for me, young master. Tao Chan let go of Dongfang Yichen's hand, opened the medicine bottle tremblingly, poured the medicine powder into his mouth, Dongfang Yichen poured him a glass of water, put it in his hand, the man picked up the water cup, drank a few sips, the medicine powder quickly worked, I saw that his breathing gradually became even, and the cough stopped.
"How long can this medicine inhibit poisonous Gu?" the man asked calmly, his waist straightened, and the person immediately looked much more energetic. In fact, he is still very young, only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is also very handsome, but he has been tortured by illness all the year round, and he is extremely haggard.
"Nineteen days, the most effective medicine I can get so far, this is it. Yichen looked at Tao Chan and said, "So, our time is getting tighter and shorter. You are twenty-nine years old this year, and there is less than a year left to escape the last episode of Gu poison, and we still have no clues about the Magic Doctor Pavilion. โ
"There's some clues. Tao Chan just wanted to say something, but suddenly looked at Ruoxi, Ruoxi saw this, and hurriedly said goodbye to Dongfang Yichen, and said, "Second young master, I'll go out first." โ
"There's no need to shy away. Dongfang Yichen said to the man: "He is my personal follower, my own person." You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. โ
Tao Chan relaxed his vigilance and continued: "I suspect that Jin Gemen has a lot to do with the Demon Doctor Pavilion, and their people have come to me, and I am limited to hand over the secret book of the Oral Sutra handed down by my ancestors within three days, this scripture is divided into three volumes, the last volume is in the hands of the Demon Doctor, that is, the Jade Foot Sutra, and the remaining two volumes are in the Tao family, you just said that this scripture appeared in the hands of the maid in your house, what does this mean?"
"Impossible? Changqing has been in Washington for five years, and she is a very good person, she said that this item came from an ancient tomb and was bought from an antique stall in the bazaar. Dongfang Yichen said.
"Young Master, do you think so too?" Tao Chan said: "Today is the deadline they gave me, so we closed the door to thank the guests, the second young master came just in time, and Tao Chan would not give them the secret book of rouge lips." Tao Chan took out two human skin scriptures from his arms, suddenly knelt on the ground, presented them to Dongfang Yichen with both hands, and said: "Please second young master, transfer this thing to the eldest young master, Tao Chan has been cared for for many years, and today's limit has come. โ
"Hurry up, Tao Chan, we have been friends for many years, how can it be worth it for you to ignore the danger, you can go with me. Dongfang Yichen pulled up Tao Chan and said, "Go and call Ye Hu, let's go immediately." โ
"Second young master, do you really want to wade into this troubled water? offend Jin Gemen?" Tao Chan got up, his eyes were full of tears, and said: "We can't get involved in Dongfang Huafu, as long as we can survive tonight, we plan to take refuge in the vinegar factory, and the eldest young master has allowed it, but Jin Gemen is full of eyeliner, and we can't fly with wings." โ
At this time, I saw Ye Hu rushing into the house, closed the door in horror, and said, "The master, they are here, Second Young Master, you should go through the back door, this dinner will not be finished." โ
Dongfang Yichen smiled and said, "Are you ready?"
Ye Yan was stunned and said: "Pheasant stewed mushrooms, smoked hare, has been prepared, side dishes are ready-made, there are sauced beef, smoked dry, braised eggs, peanuts, pickled cucumbers." โ
"Serve the food quickly, and get two more jars of good wine. We ate together. Dongfang Yichen actually sat back in his seat, looked at Ruoxi and said, "You don't mind, fight foxes for a day, and hunt a few more eagle dogs, right?"
Ruoxi shook his head and said: "Not at all, as long as the second young master likes it, no matter what he hunts, the villain will accompany him to the end." The two of them were light-hearted, and they didn't think much of the dangerous murder in front of them.
Ye Yan had a smile on his face and said, "I'll serve the second master for dinner." As soon as she walked out of the back door, she heard a rush of footsteps outside, and five brown-clothed men broke into the door, holding bright steel knives in their hands, and shouted loudly as soon as they entered the door: "Sick seedling, have you thought about it?" Today is the last day, do you want the human skin that cannot be eaten or drunk to be carried into the coffin? Or do you want to watch us take your wife away?"
Tao Chan sat beside Dongfang Yichen and Ruoruo, pouring tea, he calmly poured tea, served tea to Dongfang Yichen, and said: "This is the orchid Tieguanyin fried by Ye Yucheng himself, please taste it from the second master." It was as if I hadn't heard the brown-clad men speak, and I hadn't seen them.
"Damn, you use Lao Tzu as air," the brown-clothed man glared at Tao Chan with angry eyes, and shook the steel knife in his hand, and was about to pounce.
Another brown-clothed man pointed at Dongfang Yichen and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, don't you have long eyes?
Ruoxi heard that they were disrespectful to Dongfang Yichen, and got up and said, "Whose mad dog is not leashed properly, and runs out and barks?" Second Young Master, can the little one be driven out for you?"
Dongfang Yichen smiled: "It's a little noisy, let's send it away." โ
"Yes, Second Master. Ruoxi stretched out his hand to touch the bow and arrows, looked at the man in brown and said coldly: "If you go out now, you may be able to save your life." โ
"Just you?" The five strong men in brown jumped like thunder, surrounded Ruoxi, and laughed wildly: "You arrogant boy with no hair on your mouth, Uncle cut out your tongue today and fed it to the dog." โ
"Hey, even if you are full of slaughter and bloody hands, it is still a life. Ruoxi's eyes flashed with a trace of compassion, and she said lightly: "Who has not been the beloved son in the mother's arms, soaked in the sweet fragrance of mother's milk, as pure as the lake, rippling the mother's heart." Isn't it sad to see this hideous appearance now?" she whispered softly, as if singing, and her expression was not like speaking to anyone else, but to herself.
It's just that her words, the words are clear, falling on everyone's ears, like a spell, the brown man was stunned when he heard it, his heart was shocked, his nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and he was angered by reality in an instant, only to see a person roaring and pounced on Ruoxi, and said: "I'll kill you now and let you be reincarnated and breastfed." โ
Ruoxi sighed lightly and said, "If this is the case, it is also a blessing." I saw her dodge the brown-clothed man who pounced up, the wind brushed his clothes and slid past, and then leaned back, when the body was infinitely close to the ground, like a rotating fan, between the whirls, five arrows were fired in a row, one rolled up, jumped to Dongfang Yichen's side, only to hear the brown-clothed man wail constantly, the five people were instantly pierced through the calf by arrows, blood flowed, their knives were still in their hands, the horror in their eyes was no different from seeing a ghost in the daytime, kneeling and hugging their legs, and the ghost cried wolf. The smell of blood fills the room.
Dongfang Yichen also gasped, and said in his heart, this Ruoruo's kung fu is so powerful. It can be seen that he is better than me, and it is no accident. If he didn't have the Nine Shadows Sword in his hand, he might be his opponent?
"The little boy spares his life. The man in brown looked at Ruoxi, begging for mercy repeatedly, and said in his heart, if it weren't for the mercy of his subordinates, this arrow would have pierced the heart, but would he still have his life?
"Why don't you leave quickly?" Ruoxi said lightly: "So as not to affect the second young master's meal." โ
"Let's go, let's go. The brown-clothed man cried out in despair, and ran out of the house with a crawl, and as soon as he came out of the alley, he heard a scream, and the five men somehow fell down one after another, and their bodies made several loud explosions, and the flesh and blood of the explosion flew sideways.
Dongfang Yichen looked at this thunder, and suddenly flashed in his mind the scene when the old man fell from the building, the protagonist of this thunder, Sun Qi, is dead, is it? Dongfang Yichen flashed a trace of ominous in his heart, and saw a black shadow floating in like a ghost, and the man sneered: "Today is really a good day, and the Nine Shadows Sword is also here." โ
"Youยทยทยทยทยท Are you really Gongsun Qi?" Dongfang Yichen's pupils contracted, his face turned pale, he had seen the dead come back to life, but he was still frightened by this face.
Ruoxi was also shocked, she knew that Gongsun Qi was the murderer of Wanyu and Guo Ziqian, and had been killed by Dongfang Yichen, and now that this person was resurrected, could it be the means of the Magic Doctor Pavilion?
"If Lao Tzu is so easy to die, what else can he do as the first disciple of the Jin Ge Sect Master?" Gongsun Qi's laughter was sharp and weird, his body was much thinner than when he was drunk in Shengge, his waist was straight, his black clothes looked very empty, and a black sheath long sword was tied to his belt, and the hilt and sword of the carved double dragon were shining.
His pale hand clenched the hilt of his sword, stared at Dongfang Yichen, and said, "You may not be able to get out of this door alive today, but I have more important things, and I will take your head another day." Saying that, he floated by like a ghost, picked up Tao Chan and left.
Dongfang Yichen said coldly and said, "To come up with this door, you have to ask the Nine Shadows Sword first." As he spoke, the sword was unsheathed, and the cold light flashed, piercing into Gongsun Qi's heart, and he shot as fast as lightning. However, as soon as Dongfang Yichen's sword stabbed into Gongsun Qi's heart, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly drew his sword, but there was not even a drop of blood, when he stabbed it, it felt like stabbing into a ball of air, could it be that he had no body in his clothes at all?
Gongsun Qi laughed wildly: "Come and stab me in the heart, I'm looking forward to it." Saying that, the long sword in his hand was pulled out in the air, and it was already in the imminence of Dongfang Yichen, Dongfang Yichen leaned back, dodged Gongsun Qi's sword edge, and swept his waist with a sword, the sword blade cut the black robe, and it was nothing, Gongsun Qi laughed even more arrogantly, and shouted: "Come on, come and cut me." โ
Tao Chan was so shocked that his face was colorless, Dongfang Yichen had never met such an opponent, cold sweat rolled down his forehead and cheeks, Ruoxi could see it clearly, while Dongfang Yichen was fighting, he lit a fire fold and threw it into Gongsun Qi's torn black robe, the flames were whirring and burning, Gongsun Qi was shocked, staring at Ruoxi with a pair of eyes, and said fiercely: "Boy, you wait, grandpa will have to skin you alive next time." As he spoke, he saw Gongsun Qi's head suddenly jump out of the flames and fly away like a meteor, and the black robe burned into ashes.
