Chapter 9: The Peach Stealer
Chapter 9: The Peach Stealer
Tianxian Tower has a total of six floors, standing on the sixth floor, you can see all the lakes in Jiangzhou from afar, and even the flowing Qinglan River can be seen, and above this sixth floor, you can see the scenery of the entire Jiangzhou City, from the Julu Academy with the sound of books to the noisy alleys.
But not everyone is qualified to go up to the sixth layer, even if you are on the rich side. The fourth and fifth layers need to have a certain status, even if they are adults from Kyoto this time, they can only go to the fifth layer, and there are only a few people who can go to the sixth layer in this Jiangzhou City.
It is rumored that there is still a layer above the Heavenly Immortal Tower, but this layer is just a legend for ordinary mortals, and they can't see the location of the seventh layer at all. Because this seventh layer is only for martial cultivators, and it is a powerful martial cultivator.
"The seventh floor.." Standing in front of the crowded Tianxian Tower, Ye Luo took a deep breath and walked in. For the seventh layer, he naturally knew very well, it was just covered by a formation for a while, so ordinary people couldn't see it, in his previous life, he had climbed once after reaching the manifestation realm. It's just standing on a higher position.
"I wonder what tricks you want to see?"
"Steal peaches, steal peaches....."
Ye Luo had just stepped into the Tianxian Building when he was shocked by the sound of layer after layer, and Ye Luo's eyes moved only to find that the entire lobby on the first floor of the Tianxian Building was almost full of people, leaving only a large blank space in the middle. Looking upwards, from the first floor to the fifth floor, almost all guests are watching the lobby.
"I guess that's an adult from Kyoto. ”
In the center of the fifth floor, several men in gorgeous robes quietly stared downstairs, and one of them, who was clearly standing in front of the crowd, had his hands behind his back and his eyes were calm. It seemed that anything big would not shake him, Ye Luo was sure at a glance that the identity of this person was that adult, and the other extreme was the accompanying official sent by the city lord of Jiangzhou.
"Hurry up, we're going to see the acrobatics of stealing peaches!"
Above the lobby, the surrounding crowd was obviously impatient and shouted loudly. It's just that the man in the blue robe in the middle really didn't make the slightest movement.
"Let's perform acrobatics of stealing peaches"
A calm voice echoed through the lobby, and everyone noticed that it was the Kyoto lord above them. They all fell silent.
"It's not innate, it's skilled, but it's just a martial arts master. Ye Luo raised his eyebrows. The voice coming from the fifth floor was still so calm and full of power, it must have some ability. But after all, it didn't break away from mortals.
"This place is full of people, where to pick peaches," said a child in a belly pocket who struggled out of the crowd. At the same time, the man in Tsing Yi showed a look of embarrassment. It really can't seem to be done.
"Alright, you don't play these tricks anymore, hurry up and send the rope to the sky. ”
"yes, yes, you have to do these tricks every time, so let's hurry up and perform them. ”
Before the adults upstairs could speak, the crowd in the lobby had already begun to make an uproar. Ye Luo is calm face always stared at the man in Tsing Yi standing in the middle, since entering the Tianxian Tower, Ye Luo has found that this man in Tsing Yi is different, although Ye Luo can't see anything, but Ye Luo can be sure that this Tsing Yi man is definitely not a Jianghu artist.
"Since you officials want to watch it, then I have to reluctantly perform it. The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head slightly. Then there was a look of embarrassment on his face again. After speaking, the entire lobby became quiet, and their eyes were deeply fixed on the people in Tsing Yi, as if everyone wanted to see every movement of the people in Tsing Yi, including the guests on each floor.
"Alas. In such a situation, where are there peaches in the world, only the four seasons are peaches in the back garden of the gods in the sky, so we have to go to heaven to steal them. ”
The child in the belly pocket immediately said, "The sky is so high, how can you go up without a ladder?" The man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly, "There is a way", and as he spoke, there was an extra ball of rope in his hand.
"Wow, look at that rope again, how did he conjure it, his clothes can't hide such a long rope at all"
"yes, yes, it's weird every time I see it. This acrobatic skill is really magical. ”
When a large ball of rope suddenly appeared in the hands of the people in Tsing Yi, the quiet crowd around them fell into an uproar again. But then it was quiet again, holding my breath and waiting for the next magical scene.
"Huh? Void Bag. This artist turned out to be a martial arts cultivator, but he couldn't tell what realm a martial artist was, but if he could have a void bag, this person's strength should not be underestimated. ”
When the ball of rope appeared in the hands of the people in Tsing Yi, Ye Luo put away his contempt for the people in Tsing Yi, others may not be able to see anything, but as a peerless master who once seized the Nine Heavens, a wave of true qi just burst out, but it was very small. Ye Luo, who had vicious eyes, noticed a small cloth bag hanging from the waist of the man in Tsing Yi. I saw that it was a void bag.
The Void Bag, as the name suggests, is something that has a certain amount of space, used to store some things, the large Void Bag can even be as big as a house, and the space contained in the small Void Bag may only be the size of an adult, but for every martial artist, the Void Bag is an essential thing.
Moreover, the Void Bag can only be opened and taken out with divine sense, mortals have knowledge, that is, thoughts and thoughts, and martial cultivators have even more powerful divine sense. This is also one of the biggest differences between mortals and martial cultivators. Therefore, after Ye Luo saw the void bag on the waist of the Tsing Yi man, he determined that the Tsing Yi man was a martial arts cultivator.
In the middle of the lobby, the man in Tsing Yi grabbed the rope and threw it in the air, only to see that the rope head was like hanging in the sky and went straight to the top of the entire Tianxian Building. "Huh? Interesting. The lord on the fifth floor couldn't help but praise when he saw the rope hanging in front of his eyes.
"Lord Wang, this is just a little trick. A middle-aged man behind him, also dressed in a gorgeous robe, said. The other few also said in a voice, because they were officials in Jiangzhou City, so they had already seen the tricks of the Tsing Yi people many times, so naturally they were not surprised, so they said so.
"This Tsing Yi man is not simple. Lord Wang said softly, and then his eyes moved downstairs again.
The rope in the hands of the people in Tsing Yi is getting less and less, but the ropes in the air are constantly rising, knowing that when they disappear in everyone's sight, there is only one rope left in the hands of the people in Tsing Yi. The man in Tsing Yi beckoned the child and said. "I've been in some bad health lately, so come up and go up. The man in Tsing Yi handed the rope to the child.
The child was embarrassed and said: "You are really confused, you want me to go to heaven with this string, in case it is torn, you won't break me." The people in Tsing Yi still kept urging the children to go up. "Since I have already agreed, I can't go back, don't be afraid, as long as you can steal the fairy peach, reward you with 100 gold, and then marry you a beautiful daughter-in-law. ”
The child then pulled the rope, moved his hands and feet, and gradually rose like a spider crawling silk, and even crawled in front of Lord Wang until he disappeared without a trace.
At this time, among the crowd around Ye Luo, there were quite a few women and female students of the academy covering their eyes, as if they were very afraid of what was going on. The men, on the other hand, had their eyes wide open, staring at the sky.
After a while, a bowl of peaches suddenly fell from the sky. The people in Tsing Yi laughed a few times, picked up the peaches and threw them upstairs, no more, no less, the peaches were falling into the hands of Lord Wang.
A look of surprise flashed in Lord Wang's eyes, and he looked at the peach that fell into his hand, and his eyes showed shock again. "This peach is a real peach, this person, by no means very human. ”
The crowd in the lobby was silent, the men were still staring at the sky, and the women were covering their eyes. After a few more moments, the rope suddenly fell to the ground. The man in Tsing Yi's face changed and shouted: "Oh no, no, the gods cut the rope, and my son is dead!"
While speaking, a bloody thing suddenly fell from the sky, and fell on the lobby with a "bang", and the man in Tsing Yi hurriedly checked that it was the head of the child wearing a belly pocket. The surrounding crowd of women still covered their eyes, but there were a few girls in their teens who secretly watched through the gaps in their fingers.
Upstairs, Lord Wang's gaze has become extremely solemn, looking at the magical scene downstairs. The shock in my heart became even greater. "Could it be that this person is a martial arts cultivator!"
The man in Tsing Yi held the child's head and cried loudly. "My son is so miserable! I must have been discovered by the god who watched the peach, and my son was finished." Immediately after, the feet, limbs and half of the corpse were dropped, and the man in Tsing Yi wailed and cried, and while crying, he took out a wooden box, picked up the remains of the child one by one into the box, and closed the lid of the box. Turning upstairs, he bent down and cried.
"I'm just such a son, follow me around to perform arts, and now the magistrates are forcing me to steal peaches. Let my son die a tragic death, and you will have to give some money for the burial. ”
"Hey, why can't I see through it every time, why the hell is that rope that suddenly comes out and leads to the sky, and the child can come back to life. ”
"Yes, yes, I've watched it many times, but I haven't found the slightest, I really don't know how this artist did it. ”
There was a commotion among the surrounding crowd, and then countless copper coins, gold and silver were thrown to the people in Tsing Yi, especially those young students, who threw down the money and things as if they were angry, and walked out, the expression on their faces seemed to tell the people in Tsing Yi. "I'll be able to see through your trick next time!"
"It turned out to be an out-of-body realm martial arts cultivator!"
From the time the man in Tsing Yi threw the rope into the sky to the child's body falling, Ye Luo took a deep breath and finally confirmed that the Tsing Yi artist in front of him was officially an out-of-body realm martial arts cultivator!
