Chapter 8: Woe Comes from the Mouth
The two young men in dark clothes left the store, looked around, and entered a hidden cul-de-sac. One of them said, "Mao Da, do you see it? β
Another said: "I saw the two swords, one of which was the third master and the eighth master. They have been missing for more than half a year, Jingjiang, do you think it was the Dao Chang who killed our three masters and eight masters, so the weapons will fall into his hands. β
Jing Jiang shook his head and said: "I don't know if we ask him how to get the weapon, maybe he will know the whole story, but I am afraid that we will be scared, so we still go back to the cottage to report that our big boss is important." β
Mao said worriedly: "Then the mission ...... this time"
Jingjiang said categorically: "Don't worry about it, such a trivial matter, the life of the third or eighth master." Go back to the village! I'll keep an eye on them. After saying that, they went their separate ways, and Jingjiang returned to the store, and the store was no longer full. He went up the stairs and returned to his seat, and when he saw that the drunkard had occupied his seat, he did not dislike it, and sat down.
The drunkard fell asleep on the table, and two more people came downstairs, dressed in gold and purple, and staggered upstairs. On the other table, the gold-inlaid purple-clothed man glanced at the two people who went upstairs, and the two people who came up were Ziwei Palace disciples Yan Sha and Xiangyang, and they were at a loss when they came up, so they had to sit with Jing Shao and Wei Yan.
Jing Shao approached Yan Sha and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here too?"
Yu Sha also whispered, "I only found out that you two are here." If there are many people who are suspicious, if I wait just now, it will make people even more suspicious, so ......"
Wei Yan nudged Senior Brother Yan Sha, motioning for him to pay attention to the dark-clothed man at the table, who occasionally glanced at the sword on the key's table, and the Eagle Falcon Wolf looked at it.
At this time, the narrow back streets are filled with many men, all shouting noisily at a flower boat on the lake that parades around the lake once a year. But the drunkard awoke, perhaps noisy, and stood up with the jar of wine, and fell crookedly to the window, and sat on the edge of the window, looking at it in a methodical manner.
I saw that the prostitute on the ship, the female was as beautiful as a fairy, and he drank a few sips of wine after a few glances, unlike other people who stretched out their necks. No one in the upstairs diners dared to say anything about him. Wei Yan whispered to Senior Brother Yan Sha: "Senior Brother, is this person really the prince you want to protect?
"No, the prince's temperament is like this, he indulges in wine all day long. I heard that he didn't drink at first, and he immersed himself in studying the scriptures and history, and his reputation was very high. For some reason, after the two prostitutes and women came from exile, his temperament changed greatly, and then he touched flowers and grass during the day, and slept with flowers and willows at night. Self-practice cannot be stopped. Yan Sha whispered.
After hearing the word 'prostitute-female', the fledgling eighteen-year-old Wei Yan had a few shy peach blossoms on his face, and he couldn't help but be silent.
After the flower boat, the sound of admiration in the market gradually subsided. There were also some disciples who whistled sharply while trotting side by side with the flower boat, pursuing the beautiful prostitutes who seduced the soul on the boat. He sat on the edge of the window and drank all the wine, and star-eyed dimly poured the jar a few times, and looked at the trickle of wine with gray-eyed eyes.
Drunk, he swayed back and forth a few steps, and others thought he would sit back in his original position and sleep, but he stumbled towards the table of the key. The sound of the wine horn on the table will make the children who eat noodles stunned, and the water in the bowl on the table jumps out of the bowl and splashes on the table. The four people who were eating on the left side were shocked and anxious, afraid that he would cause some trouble, and the other party was a fellow disciple and couldn't be provoked.
He propped up the table with his left hand and said to Cheng Ruping, "Little lady, how about having a few drinks with your master!" The children looked at him blankly, as if complaining that Fang Cai's alcohol had interrupted their noodle eating.
He screamed a few more times, but Cheng Ruping still ignored it, just stopped eating and glared at him with strange eyes, as if he was tired of him as a person, and even disgusted with the smell of bad rice. He approached Cheng Ruping's seat, and smiled evilly and leisurely hooked Ru Ping's chin with his hand. The people who were watching from the side were in a hurry, and if the other party got angry and drew his true anger to the neck, the little life would be whimpered. Without thinking too much about it, Yan Sha stood up and walked as fast as a fly, stepped forward and grabbed his light movements with one hand, and reprimanded: "Don't be rude." His eyes turned impatient, signaling him to stop.
Xiangyang, Jing Shao and Weiyan also left the table and rushed over, Cheng Ruping was quite angry by his move, maybe he was young, and he had never stepped into the rivers and lakes, and he was naturally less courageous with less experience. The four of them apologized to the key and politely counted the money for the noodles on the table. The key said that the nobleman was just drunk and stirred up, and he would not be surprised. The two sides were polite a few more times, and they carried the drunkard prince downstairs.
It is said that this drunkard prince was a hero among the people at the beginning, why is he so stubborn now, wandering around the wine shop in the drunken land all day long, and visiting the (ε½³δΊ’δΊ) who is looking for the fragrance of dreams at night? Just because there is only one thing in his mind that is unhappy, that is, he is against the Daomen, not only that, but also against all the cultivators, he just wanted to let the people of the Ziwei Palace have a conflict with the Taoist, so that he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Even if it doesn't work, it can vent the raging anger that has been buried in my heart for many years.
The people of the Han realm know that he is a prince with no real power, just because this is an era of monarchy and divine power. If you have a noble bloodline, if you can't be proportional to yourself without cultivation, then it's also a shame. What worries him the most is not this, but whether the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, so for him, the righteous path cannot exist, and the devil's way cannot exist. However, the behavior of cultivating immortals in the country to visit the Tao is frequent, and he resists like poison. He knew one thing very well, every time the righteous path fought against the evil demons, it would kill endless innocent beings, and it was an inevitable endgame that he could not bear to see for the future lord of the country. The former Luodu was the latter.
The words were relieved, and the prince was carried back to the city lord's mansion, and Yan Sha and Xiangyang guarded the door of the courtyard room. That Jing Shao and Wei Yan were tracking the six of them.
After the others finished eating, they went back to the house to rest. Because there are not many entanglements, they have to be used sparingly, and the four children are in the same room as Cheng Ruping. It wasn't until dawn broke the next day that I set off in a fun way. Facing the east wind of his dependents, he stepped on the dust and won the horse all the way, and the servants paced on the ancient road. One old, one young and four young, walking extremely slowly.
Passing through the grass, I saw a ruined temple, and when I was tired of walking, I rested in the ruined temple. As soon as he put down his burden, Qiao Keyzi said calmly: "They are coming." Immediately, with a wave of his hand, before the four children and Cheng Ruping could react, their bodies were scattered by the white true qi emitted by the key. The five of them only felt that their whole bodies were as light as breath, and they could see the temple objects as far as their eyes, and then they looked at themselves, and they disappeared at once. I can't shout if I want to, but I feel that I have my eyes left, and I can go up and down, left and right, but I can't get out of the temple gate.
At this time, two people broke in at the gate of the temple, it was Jing Shao and Weiyan of Ziwei Palace.
"Hey, they're there, I'm not going to leave so soon when I saw them come into this temple, right?"
Jing Shao searched the temple for a long time, but there was no trace. He wondered: "How can this be, can it be that Wei Yan has lost his eyes?"
The whisper behind him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Impossible!" He lost his temper and twisted Jing Shao's elbow and complained: "It's all your fault for walking slowly, otherwise we would have followed them a long time ago." Now that you've been dumped, I'll see how you explain to the city lord. β
The painful Jing Shao brushed her slender hand away in disgust, and said angrily: "Don't keep doing it, no matter how you say it, I'm also your senior brother." Can you respect me a little?"
Wei Yan straightened her beautiful red nose, pointed her pretty chin and said, "Hmph, what senior brother, you just entered Ziwei Palace earlier than me." This girl is two years older than you, why don't you call me sister?"
While the two were arguing, suddenly several colored distorted rays of light appeared in the distant sky, pressing against the forest in the blue sky, and were galloping in the direction of the broken temple.
Jing Shaogang found the glorious line and thought it was the place of the person he was tracking, and wanted to step out of the door. Seeing that the direction of the thing was wrong, he dragged Weiyan to hide behind the golden Buddha with traces of silk, and whispered before the light came to the temple: "Quick, hurry up and seal the true qi in the acupoint, otherwise it will be over if they find out." β
The two hidden people each lit the acupuncture point, and listened to the movement in front of the golden Buddha suspiciously.
When he was young, five blue lights made a "hissing" sound in the air, and they entered the temple gate like a shuttle. The blue light shot into five human forms, respectively the drunkard prince, and his eyes were blazing and dignified at this time.
is not like a drunkard prince who sells alcohol on the street and flirts with good girls, he is neatly dressed and his face is shining. The four were crippled beggars who were playing and singing in the restaurant to amuse the diners, and they were still wearing begging clothes.
The four beggars saluted and bowed to the prince, and the prince hurriedly and kindly clasped them up and helped them up. The prince asked, "How is the work going, has the pill gallbladder been refined?"
The staring beggar arched his hands, bowed slightly, and said, "Prince Yu! According to the grass people, there are only five pages of this medicine spectrum in the world. We currently only have one page in our hands, and the pills we have developed are not pure and do not work well. Coupled with the fact that the area we have chosen is not very favorable to the time and place, yesterday I sniffed the things I made, and the true qi in my body was not dissipated at all. β
The prince sighed deeply, and his eyes were gloomy. Said: "The time and place are favorable, I will actively inquire about ancient ancient books to see if I can find anything." Also, every few days, I will definitely go to Lingyun Pavilion to ask for those two pages of the last two pages, and those two pages remain. Outside of work, I hope you will find it soon. Be careful. β
The lame beggar stepped forward and saluted and asked, "What if Lingyun Pavilion refuses to give it to the crown prince?"
The prince comforted: "You are young, but you are very thoughtful in doing things and thinking about problems. Then he turned to the blind beggar, "It seems that your father didn't mention to you my friendship with the Pavilion Master of Lingyun Pavilion?" It's not too early, we should go back too, so as not to be discovered by those two Ziwei Palace disciples. After speaking, the bodies of the four beggars turned blue, and they took advantage of the situation to carry the prince to the sky. As if they hadn't been to this broken temple.
"This dead prince Zhaoming actually wants to use poison to destroy the true qi that we have worked so hard to cultivate, what else do we have to protect him for, it is bad and disgusting. Wei Yan unsealed the acupoint of true anger, and came out of the temple gate angrily and insulted. At this time, she is like a shrew scolding the street.
Jing Shao's eyes were colorless, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't pay attention to the whispering language. Thinking was accompanied by the "hissing" sound of stepping on the dry straw in the temple under his feet. Wei Yan saw that he ignored him, and his anger did not subside, so he shouted: "I scolded him just now, why don't you follow the scolding." β
"I'm not that bored. Jing Shao said tiredly.
"Let's go, tell Senior Brother Qiu if he knows. We don't have to protect the ungrateful prince. Wei Yan still said with residual air.
"No, if you tell him, it's over. He whispered. "Don't tell anyone what you've heard today. β
"Why. Wei Yan asked.
"Today's incident is related to the safety of the world and the national fortune of the Han Realm, if once the secret is leaked, it will be doomed. "Jing Shaozheng said.
Wei Yan asked him again why he said this. Jing Shao took the trouble to explain: "I also heard it from the mouths of the predecessors of the previous generation of cultivators, but the story is intermittent and incomplete, and it may be extremely old, and the official history and barnyard history of the Han Realm Heavenly Kingdom are not visible. I didn't believe what they said just now, but then I remembered something - the "Danshu Qi Refining" that my predecessors often mentioned to me, this book has chapters that we must cultivate, and almost no one knows that five pages on the back have been torn off.
Later, the seniors said that there was a generation of country lords in my realm who had a great conflict with our cultivators, and that country lord was full of desire to annihilate the cultivators in the world, and he made a large-scale war, and the evil king who defended the royal power did not care about countless deaths and injuries. The same is true for cultivators who are kind and unwilling to kill, and in the end, the evil king of the Han Realm was defeated, and he is not known.
There is also a secret in this story, that is, this ordinary "Danshu Qi Refining" fell into the hands of the lord of the country after the book was written, and in order to protect the secret, the compiler of the book Seven Divine Tuo could not be extinguished, just because the Seven Divine Tuo had told many cultivators about the entry of the refining pill gall, but he did not spit out the secret recipe.
In this way, both sides were contained, and it was not until after the death of the Seven Divine Sects that the Lord of the Kingdom saw that the various sects of immortal cultivation in the territory were getting stronger and stronger, which would cause him to fight against the cultivators, and the next five pages of the book might be scattered to other sides.
So, no matter whether it's true or not, don't tell anyone, even if it's the elder brother Yansha or the master. I really don't want our Han realm to be on the verge of the end of the world when the devil is called the world. β
"Why. Wei Yan asked.
"Because the Lord of the Han Realm is not at all the opponent of us cultivators, if the people of the world know that the prince is studying this thing, the righteous people will have to have murderous intent, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, no one has ever succeeded in refining the 'Juyuan Dan' made in "Danshu Qi Refining", perhaps because the book is misleading in some way. Jing Shaodao.
"Well, this girl will grant you, but you have to grant me two small requests. "Whispering leisurely and mischievous. Jing Shao asked her what she wanted, only to see that she made Jing Shao turn to the temple door, and when she bowed her body, she pounced on it in one breath. It turned out that the order was to carry her to the person they were looking for.
After Jing Shao and Wei Yan left, several segments of white light were born from the air, and gradually took shape into Lu Keyzi, Cheng Ruping, and the four children. Cheng Ruping was very happy when she had a physical examination for the first time and felt transformed by true qi, as did the four children. After resting in the temple for a while, he will go east again. On the way, the four little monkeys knew that it was fun, and cried and pestered the key to teach them.
Lu Keyzi said: "You are still young and have no foundation, so you can't learn this law." In the future, if you are practicing in Heavenly Tiger City, you must remember that self-cultivation is important. True qi is refined, and those who can experience it are secondary. Only Cheng Ruping remembered the precepts, and those children seemed to know whether they knew how to learn or not, and others barely bowed their heads.
It takes a long time to rush until noon. The sky is cloudless, and the sun is always sweating in the hot summer. Fortunately, all the way they went, there were white clouds in the forest to cover the blazing sun, and it was a kind of test for those who had not suffered and calves.
The shade in the woods is the best place and time to rest and breathe, and with the footsteps, the thoughts of the children are solemn. He couldn't bear the grandeur in his heart, a spirit abandoned the knife on the road, immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hands to hold the key with both hands, tears welled up, knelt down and pleaded: "Old man, you must teach me martial arts! You must teach me martial arts! I want to avenge my brother!"
"Let's get up first, whether it's learning martial arts or taking revenge, it's not a temporary success. One day, if you learn martial arts, if you don't improve it, and want to take revenge, it's not easy to talk about it. To tell you the truth, although you have the heart to take revenge, your talent is among the worst among you. The key helped him up.
When he heard this, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were blank. It was as if hope was just around the corner and was pulled away by something, so far away that the lightless eyes could not see. Becoming stubborn, he abandoned the key, ran back behind him alone, picked up the knife he had just dropped, and said angrily in front of the key: "Half a year ago, I killed a bad woman and a bad man, saved everyone, and captured this knife. β
He gestured to the sword that one of the children was holding in his arms. "And this sword, why do you still say that my qualifications are not as good as theirs!" At this moment, he was still with a little anger. His eyes were blazing and he questioned the person in front of him, saying that these deeds were nothing more than wanting to be affirmed by the key.
When the words fell, the key wanted to smile slightly, after all, the child was too young and naΓ―ve. Cheng Ruping was also busy grabbing his little arm with his hand, which naturally hindered him from moving forward, knowing that he would not care about the old man. The childishness has not dissipated, but it has to be followed. After Cheng Ruping comforted him a few times, the six of them found a cool place in the forest to rest, and each drank the water in the gourd they brought to their waists to quench their thirst.
When it was time for Shen, the sunlight was no longer so strong, so he walked out of the forest and still rushed to Tianhu City.
Trouble comes from the mouth, not from the sideways. Jing Jiang has been lurking behind them, and he also knows that the other party is a master, and he is very careful and distant from behind. At that time, the follower was in a hurry, only carrying a knife, and forgot to carry dry food. When he had a plan, he went around to the key and went into the woods to see if he could catch a bird and roast a rabbit to satisfy his hunger.
In this way, the two do not delay the business. When he was ambushing to catch birds and beasts, he didn't know that he had caught one of them, but he heard the news that the third and eighth masters were all killed by the child. When they were far away, he pulled out a cupola from his chest that was bigger than his fingers. When it is pulled, it is like an eagle striking the sky, from the starfire with a faint smoke tail, and the end of the sky-high signal firecracker crossbow blooms in the air with a wonderful number. This is the unique code of the Snake Mountain Cottage.
