Chapter 186: Heavenly Gate Demon Scorpion
This night, Nian Xiaojiao had insomnia until late at night, tossing and turning between Shang Hong's angular and slightly cold face. Whether it is cold or warm, it finally dissolves into a raging fire, twisted and deformed, until it dissipates completely.
Rubbing the iris petal lines on the jade pendant, as if caressing the once familiar side face, her gaze was as gentle as honey.
A whisper echoed through the room.
"Do you know what this jade pendant represents? Is it really just a symbol of how we were once together? ”
The only thing that answered Nian Xiaojiao was the cold wind blowing outside the window, and the cicadas singing in spring and summer.
The chaotic and obsessive thoughts can't be sorted out no matter how they are, just like knotted hair, and it hurts to pull the flesh. Nian Xiaojiao fell asleep in such cranky thoughts, so that she slept extremely unsteadily all night, in late spring and early summer, a cold quilt covered her forehead with fine sweat.
On the second day, Nian Xiaojiao unexpectedly wore a pair of national treasure faces, even if she tossed a lot last night, she still got up early in the morning, and she was waiting for someone.
When Nian Xiaojiao finished eating a plate of pastries and drinking a pot of tea, the person waiting finally came.
An old man who likes to wear white clothes, his expression is still energetic, and his steps are still windy. He is a quiet bedding in front of the house who can know the affairs of the world.
No one knows He Buwen's real name, and if he doesn't ask, he is synonymous with him, he doesn't ask anything and doesn't say anything, but his heart is like a mirror. He used to be the number one spy in Lin Li's hands, and he had pretended to be thousands of identities, but he had never revealed his stuffing. Later, under the entrustment of General Lin Li, the "spy hall" of Panyue Country was built, which became the eyes of Emperor Xi.
It's just that He Buwen never regarded the high-ranking emperor as his master, and there was only one person in his eyes, and that was General Lin Li, who had saved his life.
In the end, Emperor Xi's soldiers came to the city, Gushu was trapped, and General Lin Li, a generation of heroes, died tragically, and the people who couldn't pass that hurdle were thinking about the head above Emperor Xi's neck, except for Lin Keping's brothers, Nian Xiaojiao, and the master of the spy hall, He Buwen.
"It's coming!" Nian Xiaojiao's slap face was so clean that it was like a white lotus in the lotus pond in the morning, since she showed her face in front of Xian Wuji, her peach blossom mask was placed on the shelf and vacuumed.
He Buwen nodded at the plain girl: "Go in and say." ”
The two sat down at the table, and Nian Xiaojiao pushed the refreshments in front of her forward: "Has Uncle He eaten?" Would you like to have some? ”
He Buwen waved his hand at Nian Xiaojiao, an unruly white hair was draped over his shoulders at will, and a wisp of mischievous got into his mouth, and when the hand was withdrawn, he neatly lifted the long strand and flew behind him.
Maybe it's because over the years, dressed up as all kinds of characters, laughing and angry have a bit of performance, so once he returns to his original figure, He Buwen is so casual and uninhibited, with wide robes and wide sleeves, and long hair in a bun.
"Girl, where did you get that painting?"
"Last night, I caught two of his subordinates near the courtyard of Xianwuji, and according to their descriptions, they drew this picture. I heard that Immortal Wuji stayed in Bai Yuan City just for this thing, but Uncle He found out something. ”
For some reason, Nian Xiaojiao didn't tell Uncle He the truth about her possession of this jade pendant. Although I don't know the true intention of Ziyu Pei, it is not difficult to see from Immortal Wuji's actions that there must be some effect.
He Buwen lowered his head, he couldn't see his expression, his hand unconsciously played with the teacup in front of him, watching the tea rippling, the brown tea rose and fell, and his thoughts drifted away with the tea leaves.
"Girl, this jade pendant has a lot of origins, have you ever heard of the demon scorpion?" As soon as He Buwen spoke, he waved his hand again: "You must have never heard of it at your age." This is still a matter of our previous generation, when I was still young, there was a teenager on the rivers and lakes, I don't know where I came from, I don't know who my surname is, and I call myself a demon scorpion to the outside world.
He is simply a natural martial arts wizard, fighting with people, but he can learn the opponent's moves on the spot, and then suppress the opponent in turn. Unless the opponent has absolute strength to crush, he can win quickly. As long as you give him time, you will definitely lose.
After 10 years of tempering, there are no less than 10 sects that have been served by the demon scorpion, and the people of the entire rivers and lakes are panicked and extremely jealous of him, so some people encourage him to be the master of the mainland. I heard that this demon scorpion was boring in fighting, and he felt that the establishment of a faction was extremely fresh and fun, so he established a sect and named it as arrogant as himself - called Tianmen. In another 10 years, Tianmen leapt to the top and became the strongest in the mainland, and his disciples were all over the continent. ”
Nian Xiaojiao couldn't help but ask, "Is it stronger than the Sky Pavilion?" ”
Speaking of dry mouth, He Buwen took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "The most powerful person challenged by the Demon Scorpion is Shang Ruthless's father Shang Qiu, Shang Ruthless's father Shang Qiu has become his most powerful right-hand man since he was defeated by Capricorn. Otherwise, how could Capricorn become the first faction in the mainland within 10 years, precisely because the Sky Pavilion was willing to be the second, and he also wholeheartedly assisted the demon scorpion. ”
Nian Xiaojiao opened a pair of extremely flawless eyes, supported her chin with both hands, and listened with relish, she always thought that the Sky Pavilion had few scenery, and it was the strongest king in this continent, and it turned out that a mountain was higher than a mountain.
"Later."
Later, the scorpion suddenly disappeared, and the people of Tianmen searched like crazy, but they couldn't find him. Along with the scorpion, there is also the head token of Tianmen, who is in the high position of Tianmen, they are the mainstays of the various sects, except for the demon scorpion, no one obeys anyone, so the heavenly gate collapsed with the disappearance of the demon scorpion. But they never stopped looking for the demon scorpion, that person, who once became a spiritual pillar that everyone could touch, was a god-like existence. ”
"Did you find it at last?"
He shook his head.
"The thing you draw in your hand is the token of the head of the Heavenly Gate."
"What?" Nian Xiaojiao jumped three feet high, and knocked over the tea bowl in front of her, and fell wet.
"You said Immortal Wuji is looking for this token? Well, understandable. His ambition is obvious, he is to become the ruler of the entire continent, and if he comes out with the Tianmen token, he is afraid that he will respond to the call and take advantage of the trend. ”
"I always feel that it is not as simple as it seems, Immortal Wuji has the Golden Holy Sword in his hand, and the twelve earthly branches to destroy the heavens and the earth, and the current strength and power, there are also many small sects and small factions to follow, why bother to find a token that has passed the gas and delay the current formation."
"Unless, there is something right now that you have to ask for this Tianmen token......
"What could that be?"
"He's busy."
"The Golden Holy Sword, the Heaven and Earth Destroying Array, and the Heavenly Gate Token. Could it be that this seemingly unrelated thing is actually secretly related? Nian Xiaojiao paced slowly step by step, her brain turned quickly, and she took a good look at the people and things related to Immortal Wuji recently: "Every location of the formation is a dragon ruin, and the golden holy sword is also made of the backbone of the golden winged dragon king. The point in the world where Immortal Wuji activated the formation, it was neither early nor too late, just after getting the Golden Holy Sword, Uncle He, do you know this formation? ”
He Buwen frowned and pondered: "What you said is not unreasonable, it can be a direction to understand, formation, holy sword, Tianmen head order, I check, check ......"
He Buwen checked again and again, caught in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, his body had habitually moved forward, until the moment before he disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, he was still chattering about Chacha like a demon, and He Buqing, who was in a state of work, was so wholeheartedly.
Nian Xiaojiao shouted at the direction He Buwen went: "Uncle He, pay attention to safety!" ”
Because of talking about important things with Uncle He, Nian Xiaojiao had already retreated, and there was a huge backyard, empty, but Nian Xiaojiao clearly heard a slight sound of swaying, and this change occurred after He Buwen left.
"If you still think you are a person, come out, hide and hide and see the light, that is the behavior of a mouse."
"The little girl's family, such sharp teeth, it's really not cute." Above the roof, a figure floated down: "Just arrived, can I still hide, your Wanqitang is good, but there are more wine bags and rice barrels, I have been here for so long and no one has found out." Little girl, do you want me to lend you a few subordinates, I guarantee that it is better than your wine bag rice bucket. ”
"Is that you?"
Nian Xiaojiao saw the person who came clearly, the burly figure, full of horizontal flesh, was clearly the Netherworld Butcher himself---- the Red Netherworld.
"It's you?"
"Ahem, I came to the girl to ask for two people, and the guan is also closed, and I have asked, if you can, the girl will say something, I really don't want to fight with you."
"The Netherworld senior just said that I have a wine bag and rice bucket in this courtyard, how can it be dropped? Your subordinates were caught by the wine bag rice barrel? Nian Xiaojiao smiled narrowly, and the Nether Butcher lifted a stone and smashed it through his foot.
"Hahaha! It's a little interesting, worthy of being her daughter, the same sharp teeth, smart and witty. However, don't play tricks, I'm going to decide this person today. ”
Hearing the Nether Butcher mention his mother, Nian Xiaojiao couldn't help but ask, "Everyone says that I am Xiao's mother, is it true?" Have you seen it before? ”
Although she felt that it was inappropriate, Nian Xiaojiao couldn't help but ask, but the people on her side were silent, and if she asked too much, she was either silent or shook her head, otherwise, how could she catch one of her friends or foes, and open her mouth to ask.
"Your mother...... There are many people who know her, and I know her. If you don't look very similar, you have at least seven or eight points. It's just that your mother is more ......."
"What's more?"
The Nether Butcher glanced at Nian Xiaojiao fiercely and did not reply again. Yuan Cheng is a round of bright moon in his heart, and no one can compete for glory.
"I have a bit of a relationship with your mother, and I have some friendship. If you need my help in the future, you can come to me. ”
"Including killing Immortal Wuji?"
"You!"
"If you can't do it, don't say it, right, Netherworld."
"When I didn't say anything, it was impossible to kill Immortal Venerable."
A smile rose in Nian Xiaojiao's eyes, and she looked at the Netherworld Butcher and said: "I have a fate with Chiyan, the son of my predecessors, and I have a good relationship with my predecessors. ”
