Chapter 22: The Night of the Full Moon
I heard the master say that this night demon has only recently appeared, and it comes out at night, and it is a man who picks a shot, not only sucking people's essence but also drinking blood, and the action is extremely fast, and they have never seen the front, only from the back, it should be a young woman.
On the night of the full moon, the yin qi is extremely heavy, and the night demon will not be able to suppress the restlessness of the blood in the body and go crazy.
The surroundings of Chunhualou have already been filled with spiritual runes for the people of the Tianque faction, and there are real people in the array, presumably the night demon is difficult to fly today.
Tao Muqing was just a mortal, and she would inevitably be injured in the fight, so Zhu Rongguang pulled her back to the door next to her.
Originally, Zhu Rongguang wanted to say that he would go back to the house first, but he couldn't rest assured that his son stayed.
When he was bored and waiting, Zhu Rongguang simply talked to Tao Muqing about his son Zhu Changfeng.
Zhu Changfeng is the outer disciple of Zhang Zhenren of the Tianque faction, and he was officially selected through the recruitment of children of the Tianque faction, although his status and ability are not as good as Wei Qiran, but he is also the best among the group of people back then.
Speaking of this, Tao Muqing saw that Zhu Rongguang's face was full of pride.
However, seeing that the common people were so respectful to these immortal cultivators, they knew that if there was someone in a family who could enter their cultivation, it would really be a glorious thing to honor their ancestors.
Unfortunately, three days later, it was the jade refining conference, and he still wanted to let Zhu Changfeng go back to his house to live for a few days, firstly, to give his half-brother Zhu Kewen some pointers in the competition, and secondly, to let him accompany him to visit Beiyun City.
Seeing that Zhu Changfeng had such an attitude towards himself, the master also asked him to accompany him to familiarize himself with Beiyun City, isn't this intended to embarrass them, thinking of this, Tao Muqing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, speaking of this jade refining conference, Tao Muqing suddenly rose with curiosity.
It is said that this jade refining conference is the custom of Beiyun City, held once every three years, this conference is held in the Yunyu Hall in the city, whether it is the people of the city or outsiders, all capable people can participate, the judge is the four major jade refiners and the two major jade connoisseurs of Beiyun City.
However, this year, there are more medical concubines from the palace, speaking of this medical concubine, Tao Muqing was a little uneasy, and asked casually: "Master, is this medical concubine really so magical?"
"Not only magical, but also mysterious!" Zhu Rongguang snapped and held the jade fan, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you can refine jade without a furnace, only those who cultivate to reach the jade god have this ability, and she uses jade recitation to heal incurable diseases, refine jade and gather spirits, and raise jade with spirit is really breathtaking, this is a jade that cultivators can't ask for." ”
Is it really her?
Tao Muqing couldn't hear any useful news, and continued to ask, "Then why is it mysterious?"
"She is the daughter of the Queen Mother's old friend, and she is also the daughter of Wen Shicang, the daughter of the jade refining family, Wenfu, who also moved into the city later, and then she was named a medical concubine and appeared in the palace overnight, which was deeply used by the emperor. The mystery is that she has always covered her face with a scarf, and no one has seen her true face, I heard that she looks like a country and a city!"
If that's the case, then it's not Tao Ya'e.
Thankfully, fortunately.
Tao Muqing's uneasy heart was instantly relieved and secretly relieved.
"The lunar eclipse is coming, and the disciples of the Tianque Sect are on guard!"
With Wei Qiran's order, the sky that was originally vaguely moonlit was gradually engulfed in the night.
Some timid women were so frightened that they exclaimed, and they leaned close to the women they had befriended to comfort each other, while some were so frightened that they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling, and said with words in their mouths: "Heaven and earth, it's none of my business, don't come and suck my blood......"
Is this an exorcism or an exorcism? Tao Muqing teased silently, and in the dark night, by the dim candlelight, he saw that only the bustard mother and Lilac were standing next to each other, not like her trembling and hugging each other, and Lilac's eyebrows twisted lightly, and the two pairs of good-looking phoenix eyes were on guard.
She can be so calm, which makes Tao Muqing admire, if it weren't for the fact that she had a master by her side, I am afraid that she would be a little panicked, and I don't know what to do.
When Tao Muqing was secretly looking, suddenly the door behind him was shattered with a bang, and a cold air quickly approached.
Everyone was shocked, and Zhu Rongguang, who was closest to Tao Muqing, was also taken aback by his sudden situation, but he quickly reacted, pushing Tao Muqing aside with a push of his palm, and jumping to the other side one by one.
I saw a red figure pounce in the air, and as soon as his toes touched the ground, he jumped up and rotated his body again, and his right hand continued to sweep towards Tao Muqing.
The long hair fluttered enchantingly in the air, and Tao Muqing saw the woman's appearance in a blur.
It was really a young woman, she was dressed in red, her exposed arms were snow-white and colorless, her ten fingers were stained with blood, and her face was pale, but her lips were bright red with blood, and her eyes were like torches.
Upon closer inspection, her outstretched five-finger nails were embedded with something dark yellow, and suddenly a gray-haired hunchbacked old woman came to mind, and her figure overlapped with it.
Looking at the five fingers that were close at hand, Tao Muqing exclaimed, "Are you the old woman?"
The red-clothed woman's pupils shrank suddenly, but her hand did not stop, and when she was about to be caught, a purple figure galloped over and grabbed her waist with one hand.
Tao Muqing only felt that his body was light, and the whole person was taken into his arms, leaned back, turned his head in surprise, and a pair of staring eyes came into view, it turned out to be Wei Qiran.
Wei Qiran grabbed Tao Muqing's waist with his left hand, and his right hand luckily pushed out to block the arm of the woman in red, and then pushed back inward, and the move was neat and sharp.
"Arrogant Night Demon!"
Zhu Changfeng and the others came back to their senses, and they all drew their long swords and stepped forward.
The woman in red snorted coldly and stepped lightly under the locust tree, a light wind rustled through the leaves, and her soft red clothes and long shawl hair flowed in the air.
"Little apprentice, are you okay!" Zhu Rongguang said, checking left and right to see if she was injured, and only after observing it did he breathe a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this night demon is really treacherous and sinister, and he is hiding in the firewood room." ”
"Master, I'm fine. After Tao Muqing was relieved, he gently broke free of Wei Qiran's hand holding his waist, "Thank you Wei Zhenren for saving your life." ”
Wei Qiran glanced at the empty hand, silently withdrew it, and asked, "What did you just call her?"
Tao Muqing looked at the woman in red, in the same position, with different shapes, seeing that her appearance was similar, he replied: "In addition to these women in the Chunhua Building, there is also a white-haired old woman who sweeps the floor and is somewhat similar to her, but she is old and hunchbacked with white hair, but she is a young woman with fluttering black hair. The old woman was also snow-white and colorless, her fingers dark yellow as if embedded in the soil, and her lips were bloody. ”
"That's not dirt, that's minced meat. Zhu Rongguang's face sank, he glanced at the sky, and said with his eyebrows: "Although the night of the full moon is when the night demon appears, it is also ten times more than the usual demon law, and it is not easy to capture her." ”
