9. Ichthyosaurus Dance [1/100]
"Hey, hey."
In the alley outside the Yanyu Building, hearing Shen Qiu's thanks, the sloppy Taoist priest smiled and showed a smug look on his face.
He pretended to shake the bald hair in his hand and whisk the dust, trying to make a fairy wind bone, but with a flick of his wrist, dirty water flew out.
It embarrassed him a little.
He twisted his beard, which was soaked in water and clumped together, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Today, the Taoist master failed to eliminate the demon and lost a big face, but it is still a merit to be able to save a person from that Shura hell.
You're a yellow-mouthed kid, but you have a bit of eyesight and know real people.
Hmph, it's not like those stupid people who are bent on jumping into the fire. ”
He slandered, glared at Yanyulou viciously, and then grinned, revealing a strange smile towards Shen Qiu.
He waved his hand and said:
"That's it, Dao Ye is not here to save you, but he has no intention of inserting willows, you can go by yourself, Dao Ye will be very busy, and he will save the common people."
After saying that, the sloppy Taoist priest picked up the wooden box on his back and staggered to the alley.
"Don't worry, Dao Chief."
Shen Qiu looked back, and said to the embarrassed Dao Chief:
"Naturally, I don't dare to disturb the Dao Chief's demon subjugation, but the Dao Chief's misfortune has just occurred.
This must be cold, why don't you go with me to rest for a while, wait for me to prepare wine and dinner, and entertain the Taoist, which can be regarded as thanking the Taoist for saving his life, okay? ”
Shen Qiu didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, the swaying Taoist priest in front of him shuddered.
He himself frowned, raised his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed, the stench embarrassed the crazy Taoist priest's face.
He looked back at Shen Qiu, who had a sincere face, touched his stomach again, thought about it, and said:
"If you have a heart, then... Dao Ye will go with you?
But don't have any crooked thoughts, don't look at Daoye's pity for innocent lives, and you can't clean up the demon girl, but if you want to clean up a rookie, it's still not a problem. ”
Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't care about the stench on the Taoist priest's body, and reached out to support him.
Fortunately, the newly opened branch of the Li family pharmacy is not very far from this city.
The two walked out a few streets, Shen Qiu borrowed two horses from the Li family's pharmacy, rode one himself, and the other to carry the staggering and always looked drowsy, confused Taoist, and went back to the Lujia Dart Bureau.
After returning home, Shen Qiu sent Qingqing, who looked bored and had not yet slept, to buy some wine and meat on the back street.
He boiled the water again, gave the strange Taoist priest a bath, and prepared a set of his own clothes for him.
As for the things that the sloppy Taoist priest was carrying, Shen Qiu didn't touch them.
Especially the wooden box.
Since it is a good relationship, then the rules are good.
lest you bump into this eccentric Taoist priest and get into trouble instead.
After a while, Qingqing returned to the dart game with a few oiled paper bags, still carrying a few dimes of wine in his hand, and the Taoist priest also finished freshening up, wearing Shen Qiu's clothes, his hair was scattered, and he staggered to the table.
He was not polite, opened the oil paper bag, grabbed half of the roast chicken and gnawed it deliciously.
Shen Qiu added wine to him on the side, and didn't say a word of superfluous words.
Qingqing sat on the other side of the table, lit a pillar of fire in the front hall, supported her chin with both hands, and watched curiously at the Taoist priest in front of her gobbling up.
She had a question mark in her mind.
Didn't Senior Brother go to meet with everyone Shen?
She thought that her senior brother would be happy in Yanyulou tonight, but she didn't expect to come back so soon, and bring back a sloppy Taoist priest.
The man seemed to have been hungry for a long time.
After half a roast chicken was eaten, the Taoist priest who was full of oil wiped his mouth with his sleeve, patted his stomach, and let out a satisfied moan.
He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth.
This time, the speed of eating slowed down, and while chewing, he looked at Shen Qiu, and then at Qingqing, a hint of surprise appeared in his cloudy eyes.
After a few breaths, he took out a chicken bone from his mouth and said vaguely:
"Who are you waiting for? Where am I, Dao Ye? Why are you inviting me to dinner? ”
Qingqing immediately looked at his senior brother, while Shen Qiu pursed his lips.
"That's right..."
He briefly told the confused Taoist what had happened before, and the Taoist priest nodded while eating the meat, waiting for Shen Qiu to finish speaking.
He shook his head and said:
"Well, this seems to be something that this Taoist master can do, but forget it, forget it, this person is in the world, everything is suffering, like walking a long way, forget it and be at ease."
He picked up the wine glass, squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine, and looked at Qingqing with a smile, the girl had been looking at this Taoist priest since she was arrogant.
"You little girl, you are full of aura, you are really a piece of jade."
The confused Taoist priest lit the bowl with chopsticks and said to Qingqing:
"Do you want to follow the Taoist master to practice?"
"Don't, don't!"
Qingqing turned her face away, she said:
"I haven't played enough, so I don't want to be a sister-in-law."
"Hehe, the little girl has an idea."
The Taoist priest was not annoyed, he smiled and said: TV updates are the fastest //
"This Taoist master actually has a disciple, like you, full of aura, is a good seedling of cultivation, younger than your girl, he...
Hey, what's his name? ”
As he spoke, he lifted his oil-stained hand and rubbed his head, looking puzzled.
After a moment, he looked at Shen Qiu again, and he said:
"Who are you? Has Ben Dao Ye seen you? ”
Shen Qiumu grimaced.
He really didn't want to describe the incident of Yanyu Building again.
He took the initiative to speak, glanced at the wooden box that the Taoist priest had placed in his hand, changed the subject, and said to the Taoist priest, who seemed to be suffering from amnesia:
"I don't know where to place a pending order? Why did you come to Suzhou this time? ”
"Master Dao is from Mount Tai."
The Taoist priest didn't seem to care about his state, and even enjoyed it a little.
As he ate, he answered all his questions:
"Hurry up and hurry along the way, and finally come to this prosperous Suzhou.
It's just that although this city is gorgeous, it is full of demonic spirits, and there will be great calamities, and I don't know if the companion who sent me a letter to inform me has not yet arrived.
Originally, I didn't believe what he said, but now I see it with my own eyes, such a state of affairs, relying only on the Taoist master and me, I am afraid that I will not be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and defend the common people. ”
Speaking of which, this confused Taoist priest was a little worried.
He snatched the wine jug in Shen Qiu's hand, raised his head like that, and drank a pot of wine tons by tons.
Shen Qiu looked empty-handed and was speechless for a while.
The action of this Taoist priest snatching the wine jug was even a few minutes faster than the speed at which the Shen family moved and flashed, and the action was as fast as lightning.
Shen Qiu saw the wine jug being taken away first, and then felt a lightness in his hand.
The man's movements were faster than the nerve responses...
"Hey, the piece of jade you hid in your sleeve is familiar to the eye, I'm afraid it's not the old man's thing?"
The Taoist priest finished drinking the wine and asked Qingqing to pour another pot for him, he turned his head and looked at Shen Qiu, and finally his gaze fell on the sword jade on Shen Qiu's left arm.
The thing had been hidden in the wide sleeves, which would have shimmered with a halo through the candle flame.
This foolish Taoist's eyes widened, and he hooked his finger at Shen Qiu and said:
"Come, show your piece of jade to the Taoist master."
Shen Qiu hesitated.
He took off the sword jade in his hand and handed it to the Taoist priest.
The latter was held in his hand and played with it for a while, and Shen Qiu clearly saw that a light purple true qi overflowed along the Daoist's fingers, but it did not dissipate, but was wrapped between the Daoist's fingers.
He tried to pour Kendama with his true qi.
But after trying for a while, I found that it didn't work.
Then he closed his eyes again, put the sword jade on his forehead, and said something in his mouth.
Shen Qiu listened attentively and found that what the Taoist priest was reading was an obscure Taoist scripture, and he seemed to be communicating with Jian Yu in this way.
But I saw that he had words, but Kenyu didn't react.
After tossing half a pillar of incense like this, the man seemed to have lost interest.
He glanced at the sword jade in his hand regretfully, then threw it back to Shen Qiu, he carried the wine jug, and poured the wine into his tattered Huayuan gourd.
He said to Shen Qiu:
"Immortal fate is hard to find, it seems that Dao Ye and I are really unblessed."
"Smack"
Before Shen Qiu could ask, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his head, and he said:
"Ah, I remember."
He looked at Shen Qiu again, and finally at Qingqing, and he said:
"Take your junior sister and leave Suzhou."
The Taoist priest filled most of the gourd, he staggered to his feet, put the old wooden box on his shoulder, grabbed his bald hair and dusted it, patted the oil stains on his body, and grabbed the two oiled paper bags on the table.
Without looking back, he walked out of the front hall, walked into the street where no one was under the moon, and then turned back to Shen Qiu, who saw him off, and said:
"A few days later, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Haven't asked Dao Chang Gao's name yet?"
Shen Qiu asked with a fist clenched.
But no one responded.
When he looked up again, the street was empty.
Shen Qiu looked up, and in the moonlight space in front of him, the confused Taoist priest had jumped into the air, the corners of his tattered clothes fluttering, and he disappeared into the night with a rise and fall.
In the moonlight, it was like a silver veil.
And the confused Taoist priest taps his toes, carries a gourd, carries a sword box on his back, swaying his hair and beard, and resists the wind, really like a fairy among the gods.
"The old man, Taishan, the reckless man, Huang is invincible...
It's time to see, it's time to ask, Lord of Sword and Jade, let's meet again. ”
"Senior brother, look! Look! You picked up a living strange man, alas! ”
Shen Qiu didn't say anything about this, and the Qingqing girl seemed to have seen some rare sight, grabbed Shen Qiu's hand, and pointed in the direction where the Taoist priest left, with a look of surprise.
"Qingqing, don't be in a hurry to rejoice, senior brother asks you something."
Shen Qiu was at the door and asked the little junior sister:
"I remember that the palace master of the Taishan Jade Emperor Palace, surnamed Huang? Is it called Huang Wuving? ”
"That crape myrtle is a real person, and her name is Huang Wumiao."
Qingqing yawned and corrected:
"I haven't seen the Jade Emperor Palace Master again, and I know what you're thinking, Senior Brother, but it should just be similar in name."
"No misery..."
This name made Shen Qiu embarrassed for a moment, and he complained:
"What parent would give their child that name."
"Is there anything strange about that?"
Qingqing's eyes widened, looking at her senior brother suspiciously, she said:
"'When you say goodbye, you will not be miserable'. There is also 'Hao Ge follows the East Boat, don't be miserable'.
These are all poems of the previous dynasty, and people who have never read books can't come up with such a meaningful name, right?
Why are you bothering about this? ”
Shen Qiu waved his hand and did not answer.
He turned around to clean up the table, the names Huang Wudi and Huang Wumiao were so similar, it really made him can't help but have gratuitous associations.
"You go to sleep, tomorrow we will go to Tianji Pavilion."
Shen Qiu said to Qingqing, who was still looking at the door:
"I ordered something for you there, and after picking it up, we left Suzhou."
"Fortunately, Sister Yaoqin went to Liangguang a few days earlier."
Qingqing said with some concern:
"At the moment, this Suzhou form is really worrying."
"Hmm."
Shen Qiu nodded, and he said:
"That's it, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
He asked Qingqing to rest, but he first practiced a set of knife techniques in the yard.
Shen Qiu couldn't be at peace in his heart, even when he met Ren Hao, Shen Lan and Huang Wuving, coupled with their warnings, a pressure lingered in Shen Qiu's heart, making him feel that the mountain rain was coming.
But this martial arts training is not something that can be achieved overnight, and with his current size, it is impossible to stir up the storm.
It's like being thrown into a whirlpool, and it's hard to even protect yourself.
This made Shen Qiu feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and every time he swung the knife at this time, he brought a sense of hardship like a fish in a net.
The sense of distress that has existed since the beginning of this era has not subsided.
Tonight, it became more and more prominent.
Before, the feeling of being forced by Shen Lan with a dagger was really bad.
If your life is in the hands of others, how can you talk about being at ease and happy with your revenge? In the land of Xiaoxiang, I am determined to work hard, and I have been practicing every day and night.
I have seen a glimmer of hope.
It's been a year to get into the house, and all he needs is more time...
"Those things make you feel uncomfortable, but you can't resist it.
Not only does it make you feel scared...
It makes you feel even more ashamed..."
Shen Qiu's Hongming knife in his hand swung out a wisp of autumn wind, splitting the root stake in front of him into three, he took a deep breath, put the knife back into its sheath, and sat cross-legged in place.
Hold the sword jade tightly and return to the dream.
In front of him, Shen Lan, Ren Hao, and Huang Wuving's phantom were impressively listed.
He finally figured out what was in Huang Wuving's tattered wooden box.
It was a sword.
A sword that was held in Huang Wuyi's hand, purple qi flowed and buzzed endlessly.
Just by looking at the appearance, you can know that this thing, Absolutely, Shaking Light, and Chengying, is a level of divine weapon, and it has been awakened.
It's not as silent as Chengying, and it's not as rebellious as shaking light.
Shen Qiu looked at the phantoms in front of him, and did not step forward to challenge, but sat down cross-legged and continued to study his own set of sacrifices.
Rushing up now is also needless to die, and he will get nothing but experience death.
But one day, he will have power.
One day, he won't have to be so passive anymore.
One day, he won't need to be a fox and a tiger again.
In the middle of the night, Shen Qiu's desire to become stronger had never been so strong.
It's like a cold wind blowing, causing ignited sparks to dance away.
He also wanted to sweep through the lonely city at night like a fairy among the gods.
He also wanted to see with his own eyes that in the city of Suzhou, the battle between dragons and tigers.
Just like under the surging river, a thin carp saw the dragon swimming around the sky, and the little fish also saw the waterfall in the distance.
I want to cross the dragon gate, turn a fish into a dragon, and travel in the sky openly, becoming the dragon who is not angry and self-righteous, and dominates the clouds and rain.
Faith flourishes.
In Suzhou this night, fish and dragons danced together.
