Chapter 53: The Wind Rises

The scorching sun is in the sky, and the blue sky occasionally floats through the wisps of clouds, dotting the sky, and the dry wind gently blows through the cool air. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Treasure Appreciation Ceremony takes place at noon, before which all guests arriving at Tiger Roaring Village are ushered to a pre-prepared place in the village, where tables and chairs are neatly arranged. The maid and the servant shuttled back and forth.

Because.

The invitation to Tiger Roaring Village is not something that all people in the rivers and lakes will receive.

Some of the respected masters all sat in the place prepared for them with the light in their eyes, closing their eyes and resting their minds. Who knows if it's going to be a tough battle next.

The younger juniors get together in twos and threes to chat, but inadvertently show that they are different from others. Xie Zhao and Lou Luan sat in the corner, because of their appearance, they were also regarded as fledgling juniors in the rivers and lakes. Xie Zhao listened with interest to the young man in front of him talking about some strange things, but the hand under the table was tightly linked with Lou Luan's ten fingers.

"So I just broke into that place, where the sky was gloomy and lead-gray, and the earth was scorched, and occasionally I could see some bare bones and some strange-looking beasts running by......" As if tired, the young man took a sip of tea.

"Oh, you're pretty good." Xie Zhao said with a light smile to the young man in front of him, she was very familiar with the place that the young man said, but it sounded like the young man should just be wandering on the edge of the Demon Domain, and if he went deeper into some places, he would not see a beast running by him.

Such a place is where you have stayed for the past hundred years, unconsciously, he clenched his hand. Sensing the pain coming from his hand, Xie Zhao turned his head to look at Lou Luan, revealing a shallow smile, and there was wordless comfort in his eyes.

In a quarter of an hour, the treasure tasting session will begin.

The wait is anxious and long.

The young man's expression was a mixture of excitement and anticipation, and it was the first time he had participated in such a grand event, his hands clenched into fists, and his palms were already oozing with sweat. Counting the heartbeats one by one, I never felt that a quarter of an hour was so difficult. The old man beside him noticed the strangeness of the young man beside him, but he raised his eyelids slightly, and then continued to close his eyes to recuperate.

The wind blew softly, the leaves rustled, and occasionally a few playful leaves fluttered down from the trees, whirling.

Little by little, the time was approaching, and the sounds of people talking to each other were buzzing.

"After talking about it for so long, I still don't know what your name is? What sect are you? The young man looked at Xie Zhao and Lou Luan in front of him, and suddenly spoke.

Xie Zhao waved his hand. "It's just a nobody, but you seem to be the heir of Liuhemen." The young man was dressed in a green coat, which was embroidered with green bamboo and Liuhe patterns.

"I am the thirty-seventh generation disciple of Liuhemen, Lu Cheng."

"I have admired the prestige of the Liuhe faction for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really a righteous atmosphere."

"Falsely praised."

While speaking, Xiao Ziyi and Steward Xiao walked out slowly.

"Looks like it's time." Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Ziyi's slowly approaching figure.

"Meow~" A cat made a faint meow. Suddenly, it jumped into Xie Zhao's arms and rubbed it.

He lowered his head and stroked its head with his hand, but it was an exchange of glances. However, after staying in Xie Zhao's arms for a while, the black cat jumped away from Xie Zhao, turned into black mist under the table, and reappeared beside Yue Luo in an instant.

Xiao Ziyi looked at the many people sitting in front of him, and he couldn't help but clear his throat softly. "Ahem. In Xiao Ziyi, the owner of Xiahu Roaring Village, everyone is reasonable. As he spoke, he arched his hand to the crowd. You have come from afar to my Tiger Roaring Village, and I have prepared a little wine and delicacies, please don't dislike it. After I have eaten and drunk, I should show you this treasure that I have obtained. With that, he clapped his hands, and the maid shuttled through the crowd with dishes and wine, and the smell of wine overflowed, and she was already drunk before she even ate.

Lu Cheng took a deep breath, revealing an intoxicated look. "Good wine."

"Good wine indeed." Another young man beside Lu Cheng echoed, and his face was also intoxicated. Even the old man who had been closing his eyes couldn't help but open his eyes when he smelled the aroma of wine, and there was a look of intoxication on his face.

Xiao Ziyi had a smug look in his eyes, and after looking around at everyone's expressions, he slowly spoke. "This wine is called a dream, a smell is a dream, a sip is a long drunk and not awake, and it is just right to give it to you on the road." After speaking, Xiao Ziyi snapped his fingers, and Shi Hu in the village moved slowly. The person who was not yet fully immersed in the dream looked at the change in horror, and wanted to lift the sword but found that the sword in his hand was already a thousand gold.

Xiao Ziyi looked at everyone's frightened expressions, with a smile on his face, a strange smile. "I forgot to mention, I also added some soft tendons to this wine, please enjoy it all." As he spoke, his voice had become low and hoarse, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters.

Shi Hu approached the people who were paralyzed on the table little by little, and began a one-sided bite. For a while, Tiger Roaring Village was filled with tiger roars and people's desperate voices, Lou Luan was like drawing a sword when everyone fell, but she was stopped by Xie Zhao, she shook her head at Lou Luan and signaled not to make a move. Then he gently wrote a few words with his fingers on Lou Luan's palm.

This is something that has happened in the past, and if we don't find it, it won't be long before we move on to the next round.

Lou Luan nodded slightly, signaling that he would not act rashly.

Xiao Ziyi looked at everything in front of him and let out a loud laugh. His slow stride was in the crowd, and there was a strange look on his face. "Let's all become sacrifices to the god of flowers." As he spoke, he opened the box that the butler had been holding. The seeds in the box were removed and thrown on the ground. The seeds rolled down the ground a few times, sticking to the blood, and then began to take root and sprout, growing rapidly. In a short time, it has grown into a towering tree.

Lou Luan took out the charm from his arms, as if he was silently chanting, and after a while, an enchantment appeared and enveloped him and Xie Zhao.

In the enchantment, Lou Luan finally spoke. "What's next?"

"Where is the eye, I have been looking for days but I have not found it. If we can't find it, we'll go through it again. ”

"Meow~" The black cat meowed, and then turned into a human form, a star soul wearing a blue-purple robe, and then the white bones on his neck slowly emerged black mist, and the moon spirit also appeared.

"Your Excellency."

Lou Luan frowned and looked at the black cat in front of him and transformed into a human form. "It's your ......"

Looking at the two demons in front of him, Xie Zhao asked. "Did you find anything?"

Star Soul and Moon Spirit shook their heads. "It's basically the same as what we have."

"Ah......" Xie Zhao rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought.

At this time, there was a shock from the barrier, and he looked at the wall of the barrier vigilantly, and after a while, the barrier was shattered.

Xiao Ziyi stood on the tree that grew in the courtyard and looked at the four people in front of him. A sneer was revealed. "No one wants to leave here today." Saying that, his body began to twist, struggling to slowly fade out of his back, looking down at the lower half of his body still wearing it, he seemed to be entangled for a moment, and completely ripped off the skin on his body. Throw it aside, as if you had discarded some garbage.

"Hiss......" Star Soul couldn't help but shudder the moment he looked at Xiao Ziyi's skin in front of him. Emma, that's scary. ”

The moon next to him twisted him fiercely, and his face showed displeasure.

"My lord, can I kill this guy?" Yue Luo looked at Xiao Ziyi in front of her and asked for battle, but perhaps it would be more appropriate to call the guy in front of her a black monster. I saw that his body was in uncoordinated proportions, his upper body was huge, his claws were sharp, his facial features were blurred, and only his eyes could see it clearly, and his lower body was legs that were more slender than normal people, but he had a pair of big feet.

"What kind of monster is this, how come I've never seen one?" Star Soul said that his hands had turned into sharp claws.

"You two be careful, this is not a monster, it's just an eroded human."

"Hmm." Moonlight nodded, her hand grabbing in the air, and a huge fork appeared in her hand. "Let's go, Star Soul."

At the end of the words, two black afterimages swept towards Xiao Ziyi.

"You're really different from everyone else...... Giggle...... Still, it's still going to die. Moving his body, Xiao Ziyi split his mouth, revealing his white teeth.

"It's so ugly, I can't bear it anymore." Yue Luo forked the huge fork in his hand towards Xiao Ziyi.

The star soul blinked, and then reacted, Yueluo is a monster made of white bones, and her appearance was painted by Bailichi with human skin drawing paper, and it is strange to see Xiao Ziyi peeling off her skin so not angry.

"A woman with strange powers." muttered in a low voice, the star soul cooperated with the moon spirit to attack Xiao Ziyi.

"Where the hell will the Eye of the Array be?" Xie Zhao closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, thinking desperately. I have in my mind the images I have seen in the past few days. Where is the person who takes the next line, where is it, where is it......

Xiao Ziyi watched in disbelief, and Yuelu's fork pierced into his heart like this. His bloodshot eyes were full of disbelief.

"How so? I'm invincible, how can I be ...... by a mere human"

"Excuse me, I'm not human." Moonspirit's voice was cold. looked at Xiao Ziyi with a mixture of mockery and pity in his eyes.

"It's this kind of look again, hateful." Xiao Ziyi's voice became sharp, and he couldn't help but roar at the sky. There was a little more darkness on his body. Barbs grow on the arms of the upper body. He shook the moon's fork open.

"Hey, I'm in trouble." The star soul complained, and the claws in his hands grabbed Xiao Ziyi with residual light.

After being blocked from the attack, the Star Soul's figure easily dodged Xiao Ziyi's attack and retreated.

At this time, Yueluo's fork once again charged up to complete the fork towards Xiao Ziyi.

With the shouting of the fork to Xiao Ziyi and Yueluo. "I'm different from humans like you who are infected by darkness, I'm a demon." In a moment, Xiao Ziyi seemed to see a beautiful woman with a huge fork turned into a pile of white bones coming towards him.

However, how could the same move be fooled a second time. Xiao Ziyi dodged Yuelu's fork.

But then came the claws of the Star Soul. The sharp and venom-laden claws mercilessly scratched Xiao Ziyi's skin.

This little injury, Xiao Ziyi sneered, and raised his hand to grab it at the star soul, but his hand stopped in midair.

How can it be?

"When did I say I only had one fork." I saw that the second fork in Yueluo's hand happened to be inserted into the hand that Xiao Ziyi raised.

At the moment when Xiao Ziyi was stunned, the third and fourth forks came one after another. The fork was on his body, but it cleverly avoided the fatality.

Looking at Xiao Ziyi's eyes, the star soul asked in a low voice, and the voice was long and gentle. "Where's the Eye?"

Xiao Ziyi couldn't resist the control of the star soul, and gradually his eyes returned to black, his eyes were dull, and his voice was flat. "I don't know."

"Isn't it not this guy?" Star Soul retracted his claws and scratched his head.

The sudden change was abrupt, and I saw that Xiao Ziyi's body suddenly began to shrink, and gradually returned to the size of a normal person, but he was a blur of flesh and blood when he lost his skin.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Yue Luo recited a mantra, and the skin bag that was thrown aside by Xiao Ziyi covered his body again.

Struggling to cough twice, Xiao Ziyi laughed.

"How could I fail, no, I didn't fail, I won't fail." The more he spoke, the less clear his mind became. His voice grew quieter and quieter, knowing that he had finally lost his breath. To his death, his eyes showed the joy of imminent success. He had fallen into madness.

Looking at Xiao Ziyi, the four of them fell silent.
