Chapter 53: Birthday Celebration of the Night Flute
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
"Do we really want to say nothing?" Qiu Lianhua of the Shangshan Sect is relatively fat, and he always raises his hand from time to time to wipe the sweat that does not exist on his forehead, and after saying his questions, he smiled at Hu Guiyang again: "I don't mean anything else, it's just ...... Just ......"
"I just think it's too strange for the Vulcan Sect to launch an outsider." Hu Guiyang continued for him.
"It's a little weird." Qiu Lianhua smiled, and raised his hand to wipe his forehead, "The Vulcan Sect has mentioned you, and I have no doubt about their statement, but ...... After all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so it sounds like an accident, and even you don't admit that you're a descendant of the god of fire, right? ”
"I don't admit it, I even suspect that the so-called Vulcan Sect, as well as the sects of everyone here, are all made up lies, and even your distrust of me is a premeditated performance." Hu Guiyang was telling the truth, he had been holding back his laughter, but he didn't take these people's words too seriously in his heart.
"You're saying we're acting together just to trick you into taking the bait?" Although questioned, Qiu Lianhua smiled even brighter.
Hu Guiyang shrugged, "Who knows, maybe I'm just a part of the scam, and the real big fish hasn't appeared yet." In short, you don't believe me, and I don't believe you. Whatever you want to say, you can say whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, anyway, I'm just listening. ”
Qiu Lianhua didn't know what to say, he raised his hand to wipe it vigorously, and said with a wry smile: "Why have we all become liars?" ”
Shen Qianyuan, who was very honest, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Excellency doesn't believe what I said?" ”
"You said that the demon fox may have infiltrated the palace, I have no way to judge the truth or falsehood, you say that you are a double swordsman, this is simple, you invite the little peony, I can confirm the truth by asking a few words."
Shen Qianyuan was silent for a moment, "She's not here." ”
"I see." Hu Guiyang's smile was originally unpleasant, but at this time it was more like a straightforward mockery.
Shen Qianyuan's face sank slightly, "I went to Zhao's house that night with no intention of saving people, but I just wanted to check the situation. ”
"You didn't know Little Peony before?"
"I don't know, she took me north, and after getting rid of your pursuit, she said that her name was Xiao Peony, and she was the maid of Zhao Mansion, and she really couldn't stay until she had to escape. After thanking me, she said goodbye to me. ”
"You didn't keep it?"
"She's a woman, how can I keep her for no reason?"
"You can save people for no reason, but you can't keep people for no reason?"
Shen Qianyuan said proudly: "For you, this is an unbelievable move, for us who are not very Taoist, it is an ancestral training to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven, and there is no need for a reason." ”
"Didn't you suspect that she was a demon fox? Or the demon fox's helper? ”
"At that time, I thought that the demon fox must be one of the righteous sons of the Zhao family, and Xiao Peony's martial arts were not strong enough to be able to kill people at will." Shen Qianyuan paused slightly, "Of course, if it were now, I would ask a few more questions." ”
Hu Guiyang smiled, looked down at the half-empty wine glass, and suddenly raised his head again, "Do you like to wear white robes very much?" That night, I was able to chase from the alley of Guanyin Temple to the vicinity of Dongchang, just because your white robe was so conspicuous that it was difficult to lose it. ”
"It's very white, so I wear a white robe." Shen Qianyuan said coldly.
Hu Guiyang turned to Hao Baiying, who was diagonally opposite, "It's very Dao Shangbai, what about your Taibai Sect?" ”
The fierceness on Hao Baiying's face is less than that of Shen Qianyuan, but the whole person is more robust, "Taibai Sect is still white and red." ”
Red should belong to the Vulcan Sect, and if he continues to ask, he is afraid that it will become more and more chaotic, Hu Guiyang smiled: "Let's talk about the demon fox, what evidence is there that the demon fox has mixed into the palace?" ”
Qiu Lianhua of the Shangshan Sect stood up with a smile on his face, "My question has not been answered yet, we really have to accept the nonsense of the Vulcan Sect, in front of this 'Vulcan Descendant', do we know everything and say everything?" ”
The more kind he looked, the more unkind he spoke, Qiu Lianhua glanced at it, but skipped Hu Guiyang, "In this case, we might as well simply surrender to the government, maybe we can still have a reputation for Zhao'an." ”
Bai Sheng of the Shenmu Sect had defended the Vulcan Sect before, and at this time he spoke, "The Five Elements Sect is the same as the Qi Branch, the Vulcan Sect believes that Hu Guiyang is the descendant of the Fire God, so we have to believe it, if we don't approve of the Vulcan God's choice if we feel strange, then what kind of believers are we?" What is the difference between it and the Jedi Lieutenant who does not respect ghosts and gods? ”
"He's one of the Captains of the Absolute Son!" Qiu Lianhua loudly reminded everyone that this was the most difficult point for him to accept.
"God wills so." Bai Sheng replied.
The two argued, and several other people joined in, but no one could convince anyone.
Hu Guiyang didn't participate, listened for a while, and simply walked out of the room.
It was already completely dark, the relatives of the Shen family and the neighbors had already said goodbye, only the two tables of guests in the courtyard were still there, and it was a little cold at night.
The eldest and second eldest of the Shen family persuaded their father to rest early, and their own families also closed the door, turned off the lights and put on the kang, and did not allow their wives and children to go out.
He Million and the young elder drank heartyly, their faces were flushed, and they got up together to greet them, He Million asked, "How is it, there is a result?" ”
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "They don't believe me. ”
The young elder's face sank, "It's Qiu Lianhua, this dead fat man loves to muddy the water, I'll go find him......"
Hu Guiyang stopped the door, "No need, let's not talk about others first, do you believe me?" ”
He Million said in surprise: "Of course I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have brought Hu Gongzi here, let alone let Hu Gongzi participate in the Five Sects Meeting." ”
Hu Guiyang looked at the young elder.
"I believe in the god of fire." The young elder replied a little reluctantly, and immediately added, "Therefore, I believe in you too." ”
"I don't even know your name."
"Deng Haisheng, the rising rising." The young elder didn't hesitate this time, "I know how to make candles, and I'm better at making firecrackers, and the explosion in Zhao's house that night, I hope it didn't scare you." ”
"I fainted at the time, even if the sky fell, it wouldn't scare me, and you sent me to the backyard Buddha hall?"
Deng Haisheng glanced at He Million and shook his head, "We only buried gunpowder, and we didn't send anyone to Zhao's house that night, and the captain of the Jezi Colonel was very heavily defended, and we couldn't get in." ”
"If you bury the gunpowder, you won't be afraid that even me will be blown up?"
"You are a descendant of the God of Fire, how can you be killed by the God of Fire?" Deng Haisheng asked rhetorically, "After that incident, I no longer have the slightest doubt about the choice of the Fire God. ”
Hu Guiyang was speechless, and only after a while did he say: "I understand, the more you believe in the god of fire, the less you care about my safety—I will die at your hands sooner or later." ”
He Million smiled and said, "If Hu Gongzi believed in the god of fire like us, he would not have such an idea. ”
Hu Guiyang sneered, "Forget it, I'll eat something with you, although there is a table of wine and food inside, no one will touch chopsticks at all." Let them argue, I'll fill my stomach. ”
He Million asked sideways, Hu Guiyang walked to the table, sat on the bench, and Deng Haisheng found clean dishes and chopsticks.
The dishes were all cold, only the wine was still hot, Hu Guiyang ate and drank, and after he was half full, he looked up at the other people at the same table, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's me, I was a demon fox a few days ago, and suddenly became a descendant of the god of fire, and then I was ordered to investigate the case, and now I am sitting here drinking at the same table with you." Maybe it's God's destiny, maybe it's an accident, in short, it's fate. Come, I salute you with a bowl of wine, regardless of whether there are gods or not, ghosts and ghosts, anyway, the hot wine is in the intestines and the whole body is comfortable, this is true. ”
The whole table had been staring at the strange guests for a while, Hu Guiyang picked up the bowl, first did it as a respect, and the others drank one after another, and when the bowl was put back on the table, the atmosphere changed and resumed the previous liveliness.
Some people are curious about how Hu Guiyang became the descendant of the God of Fire, some people ask about the inside story of the captain of the Jeezi, and some people unabashedly claim that they still think that Hu Guiyang is a demon fox, but he has not yet revealed his "original form".
Hu Guiyang didn't care at all, others said that he was a demon fox, so he picked up the bowl, "It is said that monsters will show their tails when they are drunk, you try to get me drunk." ”
Everyone laughed, the wine was even more enjoyable, and even the guests at the other table ran over, squeezed if there was a place on the stool, and stood when there was no place, taking turns to toast and get the "demon fox" drunk.
Several people in the house have not been able to fight for results, and Hu Guiyang has drunk heartily outside.
Nearly three watches, Hu Guiyang was drunk and staggering, but his mind was still clear, standing on the stool, raising his glass and shouting: "I wish the old man of the Shen family a long life and a longevity than Nanshan!" ”
Everyone shouted in unison, and no one in the Shen family dared to show up.
In the midst of the noise, a few flutes suddenly sounded outside.
"It's so late, and there are people singing to cheer up, it's really good." Hu Guiyang was still standing on the stool, stretching his neck to look around.
The flute sounded again, melodious and tactful, but there was no sense of festivity, a little melancholy, a little longing, and a little free.
"This man is in the wrong place." Hu Guiyang said.
Immediately, a few people walked outside the gate to check the situation, and after a while, they retreated back into the courtyard one after another, walking nervously, as if they had seen a monster.
A donkey with a pack walked in and stopped in the middle of the yard, chewing lightly in its mouth.
"Where is Your Excellency sacred?" Shen Qianyuan said loudly and walked out with the other four people.
A person walked in from outside the courtyard, wearing a gray robe, holding a flute in his left hand, leaning on his chest, walking slowly, his eyes turned, and finally looked at Hu Guiyang on the stool, "Very good, there are a lot of people from the Five Elements Sect, and there are also people from the Extraordinary Dao, and there is also a sacrifice to the Divine Peak, and there is a sacrifice to the Divine Peak, and there is a great harvest tonight." ”
Shen Qianyuan strode forward, and at some point there were two more knives in his hand, "Hey, Your Excellency has thrown yourself into the net, and we have saved a lot of trouble, which one of the Wen family is Your Excellency?" ”
"Line seven, I can't smell it."
Shen Qianyuan was slightly stunned, but Hu Guiyang, who was standing on the stool, couldn't help but smile: "Then you should go and treat your nose." ”
"Not necessarily." Before the words fell, he couldn't hear the move, and a sword flew out of his right sleeve, and the person who was closest to him in the middle, who didn't have time to dodge, screamed, and fell on his back.
Shen Qianyuan shouted loudly, rushed forward with two knives, and made several moves in a whirlwind.
I can't hear it, but I don't accept it, and my body is floating around in the courtyard like a ghost, and if I occasionally take out a sword, I will hit one person.
Hu Guiyang could see clearly that Shen Qianyuan was indeed the man with two knives that night, and Wen Xiucai, who was arrested in the Fire God Temple, must be a family.
After the five people fell one after another, the people of the Five Elements Sect could no longer bear it, and they pulled out their weapons one after another and stepped forward to besiege them.
I can't smell the body fluttering faster, as if entering a no-man's land, I still come and go freely.
Without warning, he suddenly rushed in front of Hu Guiyang from more than a dozen steps away, and there was only a table apart.
The sword was drawn.
Hu Guiyang's martial arts are average, and he only had time to move slightly, and his lower abdomen was already hit by the sword, and he fell backwards with a bang.
