Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Poison of Flowers
Zhang Lieyan was slightly startled, and said, "Yuqing wrote it?" Lin Xi said: "It's a teacher...... Did your daughter write it?" Nie Liang read the letter word by word, nodded slowly, and said, "This word was undoubtedly written by Yuqing." Who is that man, and why did you send this letter?"
Yun Youyou said: "Isn't it your daughter who wants to invite my master to go?" Suddenly I thought again, isn't the person Jiang Qingyan rescued called Nie Yuqing? and Nie Liang have the same surname, could it be that the woman is Nie Liang's daughter?
Nie Liang shook his head, but did not speak. Zhang Lieyan said: "Yuqing and my nephew Chu Gengyu have disappeared since the last time they were in the country, how can they be in Luoyang this time? If this letter is really written by her...... That ......" Nie Liang said: "It was indeed written by her." ”
Zhang Lieyan said: "If she wrote it, who is she in at this time? Could it be that the person who met is Chu Gengyu?" No matter how they pondered, they couldn't figure out the reason.
Lin Xi said: "You read what was written in the letter, so I came to visit a friend in the old city, and I heard that the old friend had passed away. Who is that old friend?" Zhang Lieyan said: "Wang Xian'er!" Lin Xi said: "If it weren't for Wang Xian'er, who would it be?"
Zhang Lieyan said: "I'm afraid that it is also a person from the All-Heaven Sect, if the rain falls on their hands...... Nie Liang slowly raised his head and said: "Tomorrow afternoon, Xiaoxi Pavilion ...... Hmph, I'm going to see if it's Chu Gengyu's ghost!" Zhang Lieyan said: "At that time, we will go together, if the people of the all-day sect are not afraid of him." ”
Nie Liang said: "You can't go, you and Bai Yun stay here and watch He Tianwolf." Since he only invited me and Jiang Gongzi in his letter, the two of us will go. ”
Jiang Qingyan said: "If that letter was written by Nie Yuqing, then she would also be in Luoyang City." ”
Nie Liang suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes! Since this letter was written by Yuqing, then she must also be in Luoyang City." That being the case, let's go into the city tonight. Zhang Lieyan said: "Luoyang is so big, where are you going to find it?"
Jiang Qingyan said: "Peony Building." Nie Liang said: "Exactly, that person's letter said that he came to find an old friend, and this old friend is likely to be He Tianwolf, Wang Xian'er and others, and it is most likely to be hidden in the Peony Building." That night, the five of them dressed lightly in civilian clothes, climbed over the wall and entered the building at night, and searched around, and found the bedroom of the dignitaries from the cook's residence, but they did not find Nie Yuqing. I had to leave the building, Nie Liang shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid I'm not in the Peony Building." ”
Lin Xi said: "Luoyang is so big, it's not easy to find someone." His eyes suddenly squinted at a person in the corner of the wall in front of him, and said, "You wait for me here first." "Walk lightly. Behind the man, he reached out and patted the man on the shoulder.
The man looked back in surprise and said, "It was you." Lin Xi saw that the man was dressed in white, his face was sad, and he was very sad to cry and cry, if he didn't cry often, who would he be?
often cried: "I'm here to hook people, but the lights of that house haven't been extinguished, and I can't hook them." I can only wait for his lights to go out. Lin Xi saw that the place he was looking at was a window, and the lights inside were indeed not extinguished. asked: "Who are you hooking?" Chang cried: "Zhang Da, he picked up a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains a few months ago, and the King of Chujiang gave him a dream, saying that his life was at the end of his life, but he occasionally got Ganoderma lucidum, and he was willing to give him ten years of life in exchange." Zhang Da didn't believe it, insulted the king of Chujiang, and committed a heinous crime. Therefore, the king of Chujiang sent someone to take him. The man was my friend, and when something was wrong, I came to fetch him on his behalf. ”
Lin Xi said: "I see that this light can't be extinguished for a while, so it's better for you to do me a favor first." Chang cried: "What's the help?" Lin Xi said: "You help me find someone in the city." ”
Chang cried: "Looking for someone, why don't you go?" Lin Xi said: "I can't get out, I can't go." You go fast and go deep. Help me find a woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old. Chang cried: "This kind of woman, Luoyang City has not a thousand but eight hundred." Do you have a name?"
Lin Xi said: "Yes." Her name is Nie Yuqing. I often cried and opened the book of heaven and checked a few pages. Lin Xi said: "Is there such a person in Luoyang City?"
Chang cried: "Yes, it is in the third old house in the west of the city." But...... I'm afraid I can't go. Lin Xi was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "It turns out that Yuqing is really here, did she really wake up? Who took her that night?" and said, "Oh! But why can't you go?" often cried: "There is a yin qi in that old house, I am afraid that there are evil ghosts lurking." ”
Lin Xi smiled: "Evil ghosts are not afraid. Chang cried: "I'm just afraid that there will be some trouble." You are also a ghost envoy, why can't you find it?" Lin Xi said secretly: "My book of heaven was brought from the previous life, if it is not revealed, how can I tell you if I can't find the people of the Tang Dynasty?" said: "My book of heaven is lost." ”
Chang cried "oh", blew his breath, extinguished the light in the window, and sobbed: "The wind blew out the light, it seems that you are destined to leave." "Fly to that window.
Lin Xi returned to Nie Liang and said, "I found Nie Yuqing, and she is in the third old mansion in the west of the city, but that old mansion is afraid of evil ghosts." ”
Nie Liang said happily: "But what is so terrible about ghosts? Ruo Yuqing is really there...... Let's go, let's go. The five of them rushed all the way to the old house in the west of the city, when the clouds covered the half moon, and the moonlight fell darkly. It is shining on the swaying half of the door of the old house.
Nie Liang stepped forward and pushed the door open and walked in. Lin Xi and the others also followed. The grass in the house is waist-high, and only the sound of the wind can be heard in the darkness, and the silence is terrible. The wind is like a knife to interpret words, and the night is like a tender hand. If it weren't for the fact that these five people were all first-class masters in the world, they wouldn't dare to go deep without scaring them away.
When I walked to the hall in the house, I saw that the tables and chairs were freshly lit, and there were indeed traces of people living there. I heard a "bang" in the room on the left, and something seemed to have fallen. Nie Liang said, "Who?" rushed in, and a yin wind erupted from inside, blowing out the two life fires on Nie Liang's shoulders.
Nie Liang was startled, flew backwards, pulled out his long sword, and protected his body. I saw a thick black smoke rolling out of the darkness, and there were heads and eyes, hands and feet in the black smoke, and it was a demon. The demon cried out, "Who wants to hurt me?"
Nie Liang said, "Who are you, why are you making a mistake here?" The evil ghost raised his head to the sky and cried out, "I am Lishan Fei Wei Dao'er, who caught me here? Who caught me here?" shouted a few times and rushed towards Nie Liang. Nie Liang raised his sword to block, but was slapped by his palm, flew back seven or eight steps, and hit a stone pillar. Zhang Lieyan and Bai Yun were shocked, stepped forward with their swords, and drew a spell with flying talismans.
That Wei Dao'er turned around and slapped away the spell, Zhang Lieyan and Bai Yun couldn't resist him and were slapped dozens of feet away with one palm. Xiang Gu was shocked, he didn't expect this ghost to be so powerful.
Lin Xi flew out of the black dragon chain and tied Wei Dao'er under the chain. As soon as Wei Dao'er turned around, he jumped out of the chain and shouted, "Why am I here?"
Jiang Qingyan took out the Chengying Sword, reflected the light and stabbed at Wei Dao'er. Wei Dao'er's body appeared, and he threw himself into Jiang Qingyan's arms, knocking him out of the way. Zhang Lieyan shouted, "Little ghost, look!" took out the fire bead from his arms, put it in his mouth, and spewed out a fire to burn towards Wei Dao'er.
Wei Dao'er opened his mouth and spewed out the yin wind, which blew back and burned on Zhang Lieyan's body. Zhang Lieyan was burned by the fire, screaming in a hurry, rolling on the ground and turning over. Nie Liang stepped forward with his sword, and Wei Dao'er grabbed Nie Liang's hand sideways, threw him backwards, and hit the wall. Bai Yun was shocked in his heart and said, "This ghost is amazing!" took out the legal net and sprinkled it, Wei Dao'er tore the legal net with both hands, but was scalded by the broken net and screamed.
Lin Xifei stepped forward and rode on Wei Dao'er's neck. That Wei Dao'er was extremely tall when he was alive, and after being killed, he turned into a powerful ghost, and his body was several feet taller. Lin Xi rode on his head like a three-year-old child. Wei Dao'er grabbed his legs with both hands and was about to fall.
Lin Xi shouted, "Kneel!" The black dragon chain flew out, tied Wei Dao'er from top to bottom, and pressed him to kneel. Leaning over, he took the long sword that Zhang Flame had fallen and stabbed it into his head. Wei Dao'er screamed in pain, grabbed Lin Xi and threw him out, and knocked Jiang Qingyan away.
Seeing that he was infinitely powerful, and when he was crazy, he was not afraid of pain, and he was in a vertical and horizontal direction, and the five masters combined could not deal with him. At this time, an iron chain suddenly flew out outside, tied Wei Dao'er again, jumped up, slapped a palm on Wei Dao'er's skull, and shouted: "Nie Liang, Fu!"
Nie Liang hurriedly took the talisman and pressed Wei Dao'er down. Bai Yun stepped forward with his sword and stabbed into Wei Dao'er's dantian. The man opened the bag, took Wei Dao'er in, flew down, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This Wei Dao'er can be regarded as caught." ”
Nie Liang saw that the human body was weak and light, but it was a ghost envoy. Although he caught ghosts and monsters, he didn't dare to offend the ghost envoy, and said, "The ghost envoy also came to arrest him?"
The demon envoy weeps all the time. often cried: "This ghost was an enemy of Li Yuan before his death and was killed by Li Yuan. After turning into a ghost, he didn't enter the underworld, and the king of Hades had people capture him many times, but he never succeeded, and he finally caught it today. Thank you, three Taoists. Nie Liang said: "I see." ”
Chang cried "um" and said, "The person the Taoist is looking for is inside, and I'm leaving." Crying and crying, he flew away to the west. Lin Xi helped Zhang Lieyan extinguish the flames on his body, and saw that a large piece of his beard and hair had been burned, and he glared at him, which was very funny. I couldn't help but smile and said, "The Dao Leader is really like a flame. ”
Zhang Lieyan said: "I have always hurt people with fire for half my life, but I didn't expect to be burned in the end, and the taste of this fire is really uncomfortable." ”
Nie Liang pondered what he said and said, "Who am I looking for?" Suddenly rushed towards the inner room, and heard a small sound in the room, Nie Liang hurriedly dodged sideways, and a short knife was driven into the ground. Someone sighed softly in the darkness and said, "Master Nie, you have found this, why are you in a hurry?" Nie Liang shouted: "Who is it?" There was no one to see in the darkness, and there was no sound to respond. He stepped forward slowly with his sword, felt an oil lamp by the window, lit it and lit it to illuminate the room. But I saw that the mattresses in the room were all new, but I didn't see anyone.
Lin Xi said: "The people have already left. Nie Liang said: "I can't go far." "I saw the window open, and the window flew by. But he saw that the street was divided into four strips, and he did not know in which direction the man was going. The five of them looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing where to find it. I could only hear the rooster crow in the night, and it was already dawn.
Jiang Qingyan said: "In the afternoon, I will go to the creek pavilion with the Taoist chief to find out." ”
The night has passed, and there is no darkness in Luoyang City, only light. Nie Liang said: "It's useless to wait, why don't we go to Xiaoxi Pavilion first." Lin Xi said: "Not bad." Nie Liang said: "Two junior brothers, you stay in the city and watch He Tianwolf earnestly." "Zhang Lieyan and Bai Yun should leave.
Nie Liang and the three of them rushed to the south of the city, and saw that a high pavilion had been built near the mountain and the water, facing the wind and facing the sky, and the clear stream was next to it. Sure enough, it's a good pavilion. The three of them crouched in the grass behind the pavilion, waiting for someone to come. But after waiting all morning, no one came, but only the sound of birds chirping and chirping. When the sun went down in the afternoon, only a woodcutter cutting wood passed by.
Nie Liang stood up and said, "We are only afraid of being deceived, and no one wants to come at all." Lin Xi said: "Go back to the inn first." The three of them returned to the inn and met Zhang Lieyan and the others. After dinner, a child went to the inn to find Nie Liang and said, "Nie Liang, can you call Nie Liang?"
Nie nodded and said, "It's me." The little boy said: "Someone asked me to tell you that he was the one who invited people, but asked the head of Nie to wait in the Xiaoxi Pavilion, and he will not be invited today, and he will still come as scheduled tomorrow afternoon." Nie Liang stretched out his hand to hold the child's wrist and said sharply, "Who brought you here, take me to him!"
The child was in pain, and immediately cried loudly, saying, "I don't know, he gave me two rock sugar gourds for me to talk about." Nie Liang let go of the child's wrist, apologized, touched two copper plates from his arms and gave them to him, and said, "Don't cry, take it to buy rock sugar gourds." The child took the copper plate, turned his cry into laughter, and walked away with a smile.
Lin Xi said: "That person deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so that we could not find it, there is a big problem." Nie Liang sneered and was silent. After a night, and after noon, it was still the little boy who came to the inn, found Nie Liang and said: "Mr. Nie, someone asked me to tell you that the head of Nie came to the cold house last night, but he was ashamed of the etiquette and did not dare to meet, which is very regrettable." Today, a tea banquet was held in Xiaoxi Pavilion, and Mr. Nie, Mr. Jiang and the boy were invited to come together. ”
Nie Liang said: "Then let's go!" The little boy said: "That person also said, please Zhang Daochang and Bai Daochang also come together." Nie Liang was afraid that he would fall for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and said, "No need. ”
Yun Youyou said, "Master, are you going to drink tea?" Jiang Qingyan was about to refuse, Yun Youyou took his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't leave me all the time, I'm really afraid that one day you won't want me after you leave me." ”
Jiang Qingyan only felt that her heart softened, and said, "I won't want you, if you want to go with me, you can go together, but you must listen to me." He and Nie Liang followed the little boy.
Lin Xi said: "Li'er, let's go too, wait for them halfway." Mo said pitifully: "Okay." "Then catch up.
Jiang Qingyan arrived at the Xiaoxi Pavilion and saw that there were two maidservants waiting outside the pavilion in the morning. The jade screen in the pavilion is opened, and the tea is good. A servant girl boiled water and poured it slowly into the teapot.
There was a man in a fancy costume sitting in the middle, and said with a smile: "The tea is just right, Jiang Gongzi, the head of Nie is here, it's really a coincidence." Please. Jiang Qingyan, Yun Youyou, and Nie Liang went to the pavilion and sat down. I saw that the boy in gorgeous clothes was about twenty-five or six years old, and his face was very beautiful, and he was a handsome son.
Nie Liang said: "Your Excellency invited us to drink tea?" The prince in the Chinese costume ordered the maidservant to give the child a few copper plates and sent it away, rushed away the four cups of tea, and said, "It's down." Please. Nie Liang didn't drink tea either, and said, "Who is Your Excellency?"
The young man in the costume smiled: "Under the surname of Hua." After hearing the names of Nie and Jiang Gongzi for a long time, he dared to invite them to see him. Invite Nie to tea. ”
Nie Liang snorted coldly, stood up, glared at the playboy, and said, "You don't have to drink tea! Who are you? Yuqing can be in your hands?"
The playboy sighed lightly and said, "Why is Master Nie in a hurry? In that case, Xiaoling, invite Miss Nie here." The woman on the right exited the pavilion, and when she got to the grass, she asked a woman to come out. When the woman saw Nie Liang, she immediately threw herself into his arms and shouted, "Dad!" and began to cry.
When Nie Liang saw this person at first glance, he was really like being struck by lightning, he couldn't move for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Yuqing......" This person in front of him, wearing a yellow shirt and a pale face, is it not Nie Yuqing?
Nie Liang said: "You are really here ......" Nie Yuqing fell into Nie Liang's arms and cried. The playboy said: "I passed by a deserted village that day, and I was very surprised to see Miss Nie walking on the road in a daze. He stepped forward to ask her, and learned that she was the daughter of the head of Nie, so he always took her with him. On that day, I happened to know that the head of Nie came to Luoyang City, so I asked him to see him. It turned out that Nie Yuqing's injuries had healed that day, and when she woke up, she saw that she was in the wilderness, and she was walking around in a daze, but Lin Xi couldn't find her, and was taken back by the playboy.
Nie Liang said: "Thank you dude." Most of the wariness in my heart disappeared. The dude laughed, "No. "Sit down again for tea. Although Nie Liang was pleased, the playboy didn't know who it was, and he was afraid that the tea would be poisonous, so he dared to drink it after seeing that the playboy had drunk it. The playboy said: "I have heard the name of Jiang Gongzi for a long time, and Jiang Gongzi is also invited." ”
Jiang Qingyan said: "How do you know my name?" The playboy was stunned for a moment and said: "This ......" Jiang Qingyan said: "I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I don't come out much." Few people recognize me. ”
The playboy said: "That day, I saw Jiang Gongzi and Yuchan talking about the piano and poetry in Biqing Pond, and I really admired him." ”
After a few cups of tea, the conversation was almost over. Nie Liang said: "Thank you so much for saving my daughter, if something happens to the boy in the future, Nie Liang will do his best to help." The playboy shook his head and smiled, "No, Master Nie." I'm just saving your daughter, and I don't need to be like this. But there is one thing......"
Nie Liang saw that he wanted to speak but stopped, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The playboy said: "Don't hide it from the head of Nie, the reason why I know that the head of Nie came to Luoyang City was told by a person." That person admired the martial arts fame of Nie Zhangmen, and wanted to invite Nie Zhangmen to enter the court. ”
Nie Liang changed color slightly, and said: "What is the dynasty?Who is that person?" The playboy said: "That person is the monarch of the world, and he is an official when he enters the dynasty." He is willing to let the head of Nie be in charge of the post of observing the heavens and be a great teacher. Nie Liang sneered slightly and said, "The monarch of the world...... Which monarch of the world is it?" In fact, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were many people who called the emperor and the king.
The playboy said: "Wang Shichong, the lord of Zheng State." At this time, he was in the Luoyang Palace. When he heard the name of the head of Nie, he sent him to ......"
Nie Liang stood up, waved his sleeves and said, "No need! Poor Dao doesn't like restraint, he has always been like a wild crane floating in the clouds, and he can't be a great teacher." The playboy saved my daughter, and he was very grateful, and he would do his best to help him if he had something else to do in the future. ”
The playboy smiled slightly and said, "I know that the head of Nie is unwilling, please take a seat, and I will explain to my lord when I go back." Nie Liang sat down.
The playboy said: "Master Nie, there is another matter...... I don't know if the head agrees or not. ”
Nie Liang said: "As long as it's not a matter of entering the court, the playboy just said." The playboy opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and said with a smile, "I fell in love with Miss Nie at first sight, and my soul can't be guarded, and I can't go back." I only hope that the head of Nie will marry Miss Nie to me. ”
Nie Yuqing screamed "ah" and said, "Dude...... This...... I'll ......" Nie Liang said, "This matter...... It's okay, but let's talk about it in the future, Poor Dao still has a lot to say to Yuqing, so take her away first. Pull up Nie Yuqing and leave.
Jiang Qingyan also clenched his fists slightly, and walked back with Yun Youyou. The playboy said: "Master Nie...... Your daughter will always marry me. Haha laughed.
Nie Liang felt more and more that this person was presumptuous, snorted, and walked away from Nie Yuqing.
Yun Youyou said, "Master, did you smell a fragrance just now? Jiang Qingyan said: "Fragrance? What kind of fragrance?" Yun Youyou said: "Didn't you smell it?"
