Chapter 34: Lord of the Baoyan Pavilion
...... this—this idol!?
Jiang Yao was shocked, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell, but fortunately he was held by the white pheasant.
"Something is wrong with you, you need to be treated right away!"
The white pheasant looked at Jiang Yao, who was covered in cold sweat, and suddenly couldn't care so much, turned around and shouted to the empty hall: "Mr. Bi Fang, are you still there? Please help him!
"Don't ...... Don't call him anymore...... Take me with you...... Get me out of here......" The pale-faced Jiang Yao stopped the white pheasant's call for help, pulling her to stumble through the exit door and rushing, he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the treacherous idol, at this moment, the scenery in front of him had begun to distort, and the sea of energy in his chest was also driven by the chill in his body, and began to gradually lose control.
"Bang ——!"
Without warning, a crystal shelf beside Jiang Yao shattered, and the white pheasant looked at Jiang Yao beside him in surprise, but found that at this time, his body was gradually shining with ominous black-purple light.
"......Hmm!!" Jiang Yao clutched his chest and fell to the ground in pain, frightening the white pheasant.
"Jiang Yao! you...... What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
"It's too late...... Go, get out of my ......!Don't come near me!!"
Jiang Yao roared and used his last strength to push away the white pheasant, and at the same time, the uncontrolled boiling energy in Jiang Yao's body exploded in an instant!
"Rumble——!!
The black-purple light swept along Jiang Yao's body with a storm of energy, and in the electric light and crackling sound, the crystal shelves and those goods were shattered, and the white pheasant was also affected by this storm, and had to open the demonic enchantment to cover himself.
"Bang...... Whoa——!
The explosion in her ears was deafening, and the white pheasant curled up behind the pillar with her eyes closed, even with the cover of the demonic power enchantment, she still felt as if her body was about to be torn apart, and she could only stick to the pillar and not move.
Gradually, the black and purple energy storm slowly subsided, and the white pheasant opened its eyes, cautiously poked its head out from behind the pillar, and looked around.
The entire rich and elegant hall, with all the exhibits, was completely reduced to a ruin at this time, and in the center of the ruin, kneeling sat the man in the aqua blue dark pattern Hanfu, with his back to the white pheasant, motionless.
"Ginger, ginger ......?"
The white pheasant stood up tremblingly, subconsciously reached out and brushed the diamond stud earring on his left ear, wanting to step forward but didn't dare, he could only watch the man slowly turn his face from a distance and look at himself expressionlessly.
It was a pair of hollow and indifferent blood-red eyes.
The moment she saw those bloody eyes, the white pheasant couldn't help but shudder, she found that the aura of the man in front of her had changed suddenly, and the aura of anger and danger exuded by her body was similar to the gentle and humble appearance before, which made the white pheasant almost have the urge to turn into its original form and flee here.
The white pheasant stared at the man tremblingly, watching him stagger up and walk towards her, instinctively wanting to run away, but her feet were as if they were filled with lead, and she even felt that she was dead, but soon she caught a glimpse of a water-blue glimmer on the man's chest, and with the overflow of that glimmer, she found that the dark lines on the man's face gradually faded, and the blood-red eyes slowly faded away.
The white pheasant was stunned as Jiang Yao covered his head in pain, lowered his head and leaned down, and when he raised his head again, she saw that Jiang Yao's eyes had regained their clarity, and the previous dangerous aura was gone.
“…… I...... It didn't hurt you, did it?"
Jiang Yao, who had regained his senses, saw the white pheasant with a complicated expression frozen not far away, and knew that his previous loss of control was afraid of frightening the other party, so he didn't dare to approach rashly for a while, and after standing for a long time, the white pheasant finally relieved himself from the previous shock, took two steps forward tentatively, and said carefully:
"Jiang Yao, you...... Are you alright?"
"Hmm...... The fever seems to have receded, too. Jiang Yao nodded, the heat that had surged in his body had subsided after the outbreak, and the biting chill brought by the lake water was also flowing through his body, blending with the previous energy storm, and finally merging into the ocean of energy in his body. Jiang Yao, who had survived the catastrophe, not only did not have any discomfort at the moment, but felt extremely comfortable around him, and his body became much lighter as if it had been washed and purified, which he didn't expect.
Just now...... What is going on? How could my power suddenly get out of control?
Jiang Yao looked at the hall around him that was in a state of ruins, still palpitating, he stroked the slightly hot aqua blue bead in his arms, and thanks to this "Xuanwu Pearl" Jiang Yao was able to wake up in time and did not continue to cause a catastrophe, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
However, Jiang Yao's happiness did not last long, and soon, a noisy sound suddenly sounded from all directions, and then, a cyan six-star light prison fell from the sky, firmly blocking Jiang Yao, who could not dodge.
"I really didn't expect that not long after I left, you were about to demolish our pavilion. ”
A familiar voice sounded from the air above the hall, and surrounded by the black-clothed guards who fell from the sky, Jiang Yao saw a man in green clothes appear at the staircase on the second floor, looking down at him coldly.
"Hehe, 'Beast Power'...... It seems that I underestimated you, it turns out that you are still a 'colorless attribute' person, but since you have chosen to wreak havoc in my pavilion, then I can only let you stay. Hold on!"
After speaking, Bi Fang made a gesture, and the black-clothed guards stepped forward together, approaching Jiang Yao and the white pheasant step by step.
"Wait a minute, Lord Bi Fang......!"
A guard shouted, hurried from outside the hall, walked to Bi Fang's side and whispered a few words, and the latter suddenly frowned slightly.
"Pavilion Master, ...... she?" Bi Fang whispered, seemingly puzzled, but finally nodded, and then looked at Jiang Yao and the two again.
"It seems that you really didn't come in vain this time......" Bi Fang looked down at Jiang Yao and said coldly.
"The cabinet wants to see you. ”
-----------------------------
There was darkness in the line of sight, only the sound of squirming footsteps echoed in his ears, Jiang Yao lowered his head, pushed by the guards behind him, and walked towards the unknown ahead.
There was a tingling pain in the hands that were bound behind him, and Jiang Yao understood that it was the touch brought by the enchantment rope, and at the moment when he was strictly guarded, he had no possibility of escaping. Of course, in the case of a catastrophe, Jiang Yao also knew that he couldn't escape, but what he didn't expect was that because of his relationship, even the white pheasant was implicated as an accomplice, which made him very unhappy.
I don't know what this 'Baoyan Pavilion' Pavilion Master will do to us...... But no matter what, you must not take the white pheasant with you.
Jiang Yao thought about it, determined to take all the responsibilities at that time, and at this moment, the long escort journey seemed to have finally reached the end.
The elegant sandalwood gently crossed the nose, and with the removal of the black cover on his face, Jiang Yao's eyes finally returned to light, and at this moment, what appeared in front of him was a delicate and elegant quaint hall, with carved beams and paintings on the red porch, golden lotus lamps floating on both sides of the central aisle, and a crystal bead curtain hanging at the end of the aisle, the closer he got forward, the more an indescribable sense of awe arose from his heart, making people dare not look directly.
Jiang Yao and the white pheasant were taken to an open space in front of the bead curtain by the black-clothed guards, and the latter then spread out to both sides, neatly waiting on both sides, while Bi Fang stepped forward and saluted respectfully in the direction of the bead curtain.
"Pavilion master, someone brought it. ”
Jiang Yao looked up at the crystal bead curtain in front of him, and saw a feminine figure flashing faintly behind the bead curtain, giving people a sense of contradiction that "really exists" but "is uncertain".
"You, the one who ruined the pavilion of your choice?"
The peaceful female voice that was not angry and self-righteous penetrated from behind the crystal bead curtain, the voice was not loud, but it was as clear as if it sounded directly in the brain, Jiang Yao was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted, he raised his head, met the scrutinizing gaze behind the curtain, and nodded lightly.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Jiang Yao paused, glanced at the white pheasant beside him, and then spoke again. "This accident is all due to the loss of control of my power, all the responsibility lies with me, and it has nothing to do with others, and I also ask the pavilion master that you can open the net and let go of the people who were innocently implicated by me. ”
"You are quite responsible, but it is not you who decide whether to release or not. The woman's voice remained calm, but there was no intention of backing down.
But she ...... H......mm!" Jiang Yao still wanted to defend the white pheasant, but suddenly there was a tingling pain in his body, and when he looked down, he found that the cyan net-like enchantment around him was bursting with electric sparks, and Bi Fang beside him was shaking a feather fan and staring at him.
"When the pavilion master is speaking, he is not allowed to interject. Bi Fang's tone was cold, but the pavilion master behind the curtain didn't seem to care about it, only heard the other party smile lightly and said:
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. If you really want me to let her go, you can do that, but there is one condition. ”
"On what terms?"
Jiang Yao looked nervously at the figure behind the curtain, but the figure suddenly didn't speak again, but Jiang Yao could still feel the other party's gaze stay on his neck, as if he was thinking about something, until half an hour later, the voice of the pavilion master came from behind the curtain again.
"Well, let's have a gamble. ”
The pavilion master's answer was unexpected, and even Jiang Yao didn't know how to answer.
"...... the game?"
"Yes. There was something meaningful in the Pavilion Master's voice. "As long as you can win the bet, not only can I release the pheasant, but I can also write off the collections you have destroyed. ”
!?
Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted again, and asked carefully:
"That'...... What if I lose?" Jiang Yao looked at the figure behind the bead curtain and did not take it lightly.
"If you lose, not only will you have to pay for the ruined collections, but even the white pheasant will be to blame, and you will have to pay the price of the [bet]......"
The figure behind the bead curtain said, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao only felt a flash of light around his neck, and looked down, only to find that the black necklace that the "Demon Old Woman" gave him that had lost the "electric light stone" was floating gently around his neck.
"I want you to give me this necklace. ”
