CHAPTER XVI
Dongpo Academy left Yuzu sitting there alone, she thought about it, and felt that this gold medal might cause big trouble. The so-called people are not fighting with officials, and now he still has a Hou Ye, and that Hou Ye's father is still the big demon king in the world. Yuzu wanted to be angry, but at the same time, he was also lost in money, but he didn't expect to encounter this, it was really troublesome. Yuzu couldn't sit still now, she stood up, stretched, and walked out of the academy. Perhaps, she wants to go for a break now.
After leaving the academy, Yuzu did not go in the direction of Yanliu Village, but walked in the direction of Miaoyao Mountain in the south.
While swaying listlessly, she muttered to herself: "I don't know if it's too late to escape now, it is rumored that Shan Mu was hit by a poisoned arrow in Nanyao back then, so the old illness relapsed." Then if they fled to Nanyao, it should be impossible for them to find it. What's more, Nanyao hates single herding the most, right! Yuzu seemed to have suddenly found hope, and continued with a firm look in his eyes: "If there is anything that a single family can't manage, then it must be Nanyao, and even those who sing there will scold Shan Mu for being a brute!" What a paradise! Yuzu said as if she really wanted to escape to Nanyao.
But Yuzu suddenly thought of something: "I heard that the road to Miaoyao Mountain has collapsed, and even Nanyao rats can't find their way home, can I only go around Xinguo Road?" Yuzu sighed, and felt again: "That's even worse, Shan Mu himself is in Xincheng, and it will definitely be the end of going there, the other party is so powerful." Yuzu stopped where she was, looked up at the sky and shouted, "Oh my God! Can anyone help me! ”
Yuzu lowered her head helplessly, and said helplessly: "It seems that I can only hope that those Nanyao rats are fools and haven't found a way home." Yuzu continued to walk listlessly, and from time to time she couldn't help but look at the flowers on the side of the road.
In March in Ximiao, thousands of flowers are blooming, and it is so beautiful that it hooks people's souls, but now how can the grapefruit still be in the mood to appreciate it.
……
Hongcheng official mansion.
After Shan Guyue helped the arrester to escort all the Nanyao prisoners back to the prison, he was about to leave, when the fat and thin catcher ran out, "Eh! Master Hou, stay and eat together! Let's go after eating! "Skinny Catcher said quickly.
"That's it! Master Hou, you see that we didn't eat at noon, and you must be hungry. "Fat Catcher will continue to retain.
Shan Guyue said with a smile: "No need, I want to go to the famous Xiu Cuisine Building in Ximiao today and taste the delicious food there, which was planned from the beginning." ”
Xiu Cuisine House is the most famous interlocking restaurant in Ximiao, according to legend, the delicious food in it can make people remember the taste, never forget it for a lifetime, but the consumption is very high. Fat and thin Catcher could only stop, and Thin Catcher immediately replied: "I see, it's a pity that Fat Catcher and I are still working hours now, otherwise I must lead Hou Ye over and lead Hou Ye to feel the wine and food of Ximiao." ”
Suddenly, Shan Guyue took out two gold bars from his waist, threw them to the fat and thin people, and said, "Take the flowers!" You've worked hard too," and turned away.
After receiving it, he was flattered, and immediately knelt down and thanked: "Hou Ye is mighty, Hou Ye is domineering, Hou Ye is Mu Chunguang in my heart!" ”
Fat Catcher Kuai whispered to Thin Catcher: "Master Hou, he gave one piece to each of us, but gave two pieces to the female thief from Yanliu Village, it's really heavy." ”
Skinny Catcher patted Fat Catcher's head: "Why are you still worried about your waist bag?" Suddenly, Thin Catcher seemed to think of something, and shouted Shan Guyue, but Shan Guyue had already disappeared.
Fat Catcher quickly asked: "What are you calling Hou Ye for?" ”
Thin Catcher quickly replied: "I just want to ask Hou Ye if there are any gold bars on his body, he has taken out four of them today, and you don't know the things in Xiuyulou." ”
"Are you stupid, if the Hou Ye touches the belt and says no, will it be your piece or mine?" Fat Catcher is suddenly very clever.
Thin Catcher thought about it for a while, and felt that what Fat Catcher said was very right, and then the two of them accepted the gold bars and entered the official mansion.
At the door of the Xiu Cai Building in Hongcheng, Mr. Storyteller and his wife bought a large bag of things and piled them up at the door.
The gentleman wiped his sweat and said, "Let's find a place to stay in a moment!" It looks like there's no going back today. ”
Madame wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Eh, I didn't expect so many things." You know, he should have brought the wooden cake a long time ago, and he could do it as a young man. Today's horses and carts have also been rented, and it seems that Hongcheng is also very busy today. ”
"Of course, didn't I see it posted on the city gate just now, saying that there are many demons in Miaoyao Mountain, and they want to send troops over, and those cars have been requisitioned to pull grain and grass."
Madame couldn't figure it out, and said in a puzzled tone: "But if there are demons and monsters, don't they all ask some spirit rune masters to solve them?" What are you calling the army for? ”
"I heard that the demons there seem to have appeared after the collapse of Miaoyao Mountain, so many people think that Nanyao's unjust soul is causing trouble, no, the army of the single family just happened to appear here, so the adults in the upper echelons of Ximiao want to let the army go better, after all, the army of the single family has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the courage on the battlefield is also afraid." As he spoke, the storyteller sat at the door of the Xiucai Building to rest.
At this time, a junior just came out and saw it and said, "Huh? Sir, don't pile things up here, we're still going to do business! ”
The gentleman immediately stood up and apologized, "I'm really sorry, we'll move away in a while." ”
At this time, a middle-aged fat man with a kind face walked out and said, "What's the matter?" Then he saw Mr. Storyteller, and suddenly saluted very respectfully, and said, "Yo, this is not Mr. Tachibana?" Mrs. Orange? As he spoke, he walked down, helped the storyteller, and said, "Let's go, come in and sit down." ”
Mr. Tachibana was embarrassed, and refused with a smile: "No need, no need, my wife and I have eaten." ”
"Eh~ What's the matter, I don't take your money, even if the emperor comes to the Xiucai Building, you have to settle the bill, but you don't have to. Anyway, you saved me in the first place! Otherwise, I would have starved to death. This fat man turned out to be the owner of Xiu Cai Restaurant, and after speaking, he almost dragged Mr. Tangerine's hand and pulled Mr. Storyteller in.
Madame Tachibana looked at the pile of things in the doorway and said, "But what about these things?" ”
The boss turned around and instructed the stunned Xiao Er: "Just keep an eye on the luggage, and let others take care of the things inside." ”
Xiao Er is still afraid of offending Mr. Storyteller, he doesn't know what kind of respectable person Mr. Storyteller is.
The boss dragged the old couple into the restaurant, and after a few people sat down, the boss asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Mr. Tachibana was still a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I've really eaten it before, if you don't eat it, just drink some tea." ”
"Oh, you're welcome." The boss turned and shouted at a fellow, "Bring this some good wine and meat!" ”
Mr. Tangerine hurriedly stood up: "Lao Li, don't be so troublesome. ”
"Yes, yes. You're here, and I have to entertain you. Boss Li said politely.
Mrs. Tangerine also hurriedly stood up and said, "I really don't need to, we have already eaten before, just serve some tea." ”
Boss Li saw that the two of them were very resolute, and it was estimated that they had only eaten for a short time, and they couldn't eat it, so he followed Mr. and said, "Is this good, serve two dishes and some tea." That's it, I'll explain, I'll be busy in a while, Mr. Tachibana, don't be polite. ”
Hearing what Boss Li said, Mr. Tangerine couldn't refrain anymore, so he had to accept it with a smile and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”
Boss Li nodded happily, stood up, and said, "You wait here for a while, and I'll call someone to serve you food." With that, he left.
Mrs. Tangerine quietly quipped to Mr. Tangerine: "Lao Li is really good, I still remember that incident for so many years, and everyone is so successful now." ”
Mr. Tachibana said, "It's going to be troubled times, and it's good to survive." ”
……
As they spoke, Mr. and Mrs. Tachibana talked about some old things.
At this time, Shan Guyue also came to Xiuyulou.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the delicacies of this restaurant, and he couldn't wait to find a place to sit down, called Xiao Er, and ordered a few side dishes. Although there are many people in the restaurant, he is quiet and happy, all the time, no matter where he is, there will always be people around him to follow, and it is the first time that such a person stays in the moment.
"It feels so comfortable." Thinking of this, he sighed pleasantly in his heart.
Just as he was enjoying the rare time alone, he heard someone at the back table talking about Miao Yao Mountain.
"Eh, why did you go to Miaoyao Mountain?" The drinker asked.
"I am a spirit rune master who came to Ximiao to practice, when the mountain collapsed that night, there was a thick demonic aura on the mountain, that demonic aura was complex and weird, I think there was definitely more than one kind of demon there." An elderly talisman master at the table said.
"You mean a lot of demons out there?" The drinkers were surprised.
The spirit rune master said lightly: "Yes, after I got there, I found that many demons had died from the explosion of the demon breaking rune, and some of the remaining demons were seriously injured, and they didn't even need the spirit rune master to take action, and some would be killed by ordinary people." ”
"So you're back?"
"There are also a few ruthless characters in the demons there, although they are injured, but the degree of injury is different, I was not fully prepared last time, and I can't have the upper hand in fighting them, so I will temporarily return and get some magic weapons, and I will go back again after eating." It sounded like the old man was a very powerful talisman master.
Shan Guyue couldn't sit still, he walked to the position of the spirit rune master, sat down, and then said to the spirit rune master: "Master, the junior has heard of the demon breaking rune you said, do you mean that just by sticking the talisman on the demon's body, it can produce a powerful force and blast it to death?" ”
(There is no explosives in this world.) )
The spirit rune master didn't care about Shan Guyue's sudden appearance, he nodded, and then explained: "The demon breaking rune is a must-have for every powerful spirit rune master, but to use the demon breaking rune to subdue the demon, the threshold is also very high, and if the spirit rune master doesn't have enough spiritual power, he can't start it at all." If it is a big monster on the opposite side, maybe how to stick the demon breaking talisman on the demon is a difficult problem. In addition, the Demon Breaking Talisman is not only based on the spiritual power of the spirit rune master itself to determine how strong the detonation power is, but also according to the power of the demon qi. Of course, not every demon is afraid of the Demon Breaker. The spirit rune master took a few sips of tea and added: "But the demon breaking talisman is something that even the powerful spirit rune master will not dare to use it indiscriminately." ”
"Why?" The drinker asked. "If it's such a powerful weapon, why are you afraid to use it?"
"It's just that it's too powerful, and it may also cause damage to the surrounding area, so it won't be used indiscriminately."
Shan Guyue suddenly thought of the collapse of Miaoyao Mountain, and asked, "That... Master, what do you think of the collapse of Miaoyao Mountain......"
"It's because of the Demon Breaker." The rune master said with certainty.
Shan Guyue was still a little puzzled, and he wanted to confirm again and again: "But don't you also say that there are many demons in Miaoyao Mountain, if this is pasted with a broken demon talisman, isn't it impossible to stick it on every demon?" ”
"I have already asked some spirit rune masters who practiced in Ximiao before, and they said that the demonic qi on Miaoyao Mountain was not always there, but on the night when Miaoyao Mountain collapsed, a large strong demonic qi suddenly appeared. But after a loud bang, it suddenly became weaker than before, but it was still very heavy. ”
Shan Guyue was a little shocked, and he continued to ask: "Could it be that those monsters came to Ximiao and met the masters and were annihilated in one fell swoop?" ”
After hearing this, the spirit rune master laughed and said: "Little brother, this is impossible, there is only one possibility that is closest to reality, that is, that group of monsters have already been caught, and then there is a group of spirit rune masters with superior spiritual power who deliberately detonated them here." ”
"Then how do you detonate it all at once?" Shan Guyue asked the point.
The spirit rune master thought for a while, sighed and said, "It is estimated that it is the soul lock that only a spirit rune master with high spiritual power can make." ”
"I've heard about the Soul Lock, but I don't know what it does."
The spirit rune master suddenly looked at Shan Guyue, looked at him again curiously, and said, "It seems that there should be people with good spiritual power around the little brother, right?" This trapped soul lock is unknown to many spirit rune masters. ”
"This ......" Shan Guyue was inconvenient to expose too much, and she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, the spirit rune master said, "You don't have to answer, I'll explain this trapped soul lock." This Soul Trap is a Soul Trap Talisman endowed with powerful spiritual powers, and the Soul Rune Master can trap a group of demons in it, and it will lock the demonic energy. If you want to detonate, you must have a very strong spiritual power, otherwise you can't suppress the demon qi and there is no way to detonate it, even if the trapped soul lock restricts the demon qi, but to activate the demon breaking talisman that can blast down the mountain, ordinary spirit rune masters can't do it. Moreover, after the Demon Breaking Talisman is used, this Soul Trapping Talisman will also become invalid, just like today's Miao Yao Mountain. Little brother understands? ”
