Chapter 36: Mission
A thick cloud moved slowly, silently obscuring the sun's rays. The sun, which originally dominated the sky, began to recede, only sporadic golden light sprinkled down, illuminating a certain place, and also leaving patches of black shadows. Light and shadow intertwine, alternating day and night, draw a blurred dividing line in the sky.
In the evening sunset, Baihu Park is also dressed in this layer of light and shadow, and the little-known small park is integrated with nature, which is also a little more beautiful. Yan Xi stood in the sunset with his sword in his hand, blocking all the light behind him, leaving only a vague black shadow, as if he was living in the sunset. Zhang Yue carried the camera and put this rather intentional picture into the lens.
"That's it! That's all for today. Zhang Yue put away the camera and handed a bottle of hot coffee to the sullen man who had been holding a wooden knife, "Thank you today, do you want to go to dinner together?" I'm in for a treat. β
The man glanced at Zhang Yue, then swept over directly, and did not take Zhang Yue's coffee, but stared at Yan Xi who was holding hot milk tea to keep warm. Zhang Yue felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't have a seizure, but coughed lightly, pulled the man's attention back, and said, "You are actually very strong, really." β
"But I lost."
"No one will always win, and no one will always lose. Looking forward to your next challenge, but the next time you say something like that, she might not just point to your throat. Don't forget your roots, China is very strong! β
The man was stunned, didn't say much, and wanted to leave with the wooden knife.
Zhang Yue took the hot coffee, shook her head helplessly, opened the lid and took a sip by herself, dispelling the cold in her body. Yan Xi hugged the "Sword of Throne", came up, trembled his teeth, and said, "Hurry up, I'm cold." After speaking, a cold wind blew, blowing Yan Xi's Taoist robe hunting, the cold ignored the clothes, all the obstacles on the body surface, and stabbed into Yan Xi's body brutally.
"Ahhh It's so cold! β
Zhang Yue took off her coat, draped it on Yan Xi, and asked, "How about eating Malatang?" β
"I can't eat spicy food!"
"It's okay if it's not spicy, the current Malatang is very humane."
"Oh...... Whatever, you're in for a treat. β

β¦β¦
In the Zhixin Gym, young people in Taoist uniforms stepped on clogs, or covered their bleeding wounds, or limped...... With all kinds of injuries, he staggered out of the door of the gym. In the hall, a middle-aged man, sitting on a precarious seat, with a wooden knife on his lap, looked coldly at the disciple in front of him who was struggling to get up.
"You've got thirty seconds left." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, speaking a somewhat lame Chinese.
The disciple's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his right leg was twisted at a terrifying angle, and it was obvious that his leg had been broken. With such a serious injury, it is almost impossible to stand up on your own. In the end, this disciple did not stand up, but fainted in front of the middle-aged man, his face bloodless.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You are no longer qualified to ask me about the sacred bushido. Straight concentric flow, no waste required. β
The words fell, and from the dark corner, two tall figures walked out. This disciple was brutally driven, and his injured leg was still shaking in mid-air, and there was a faint sound of bones rubbing, which made people feel creepy.
Bang!
The disciple was smashed at the door of the hall, stirring up a puff of dust. The other departing disciples didn't dare to look at it, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace, and they couldn't care about their injuries.
Not far away, a man holding a wooden knife saw this scene in his eyes, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest. He walked slowly, passing the disciple who had been awakened by pain, with a cold face, without looking, and walked straight over. The disciple reached out and tried to grab the hem of the man's clothes and beg him to save himself, but in the end, all he caught was dusty air.
"Teacher." The man has a beautiful face, and he looks gentler than anyone else, but his heart is also colder than anyone else. He was the most powerful disciple of this Daoist Pavilion, and the most proud protΓ©gΓ© of that middle-aged man, his name was Jianya.
Jian Ya put his legs together and knelt in front of the middle-aged man, respectful, but the coldness on his face did not decrease in the slightest. The man was very satisfied, and he only smiled at the sword fang, "Coming?" How are you doing? β
Jianya lowered his head and said, "I met a woman today, she used ancient Chinese swordsmanship to defeat me, and only used one sword. β
ββ¦β¦ You repeat. β
"I'm defeated!"
Bang!
The wooden knife swung horizontally, colliding with the air, and the heavy air explosion sound, there was only one sound, but it was like thunder and lightning roaring, shaking people into a trance, which is not at all something that human beings can do. The wooden knife stopped at the ear of the sword, but it was only the sound of Fang Cai's qi explosion, which had already shocked him to the point of bleeding, and if the knife was swung down, his head would explode to shreds on the spot.
"You say, she used the ancient Chinese swordsmanship to block the sword I taught you?" The middle-aged man asked.
Jianya shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, master, it's me who is not good at kilometers, I will definitely challenge that woman again and regain the dignity of bushido that belongs to me." β
"As a samurai, you can't accept defeat, not even once. But you're not really a failure, because you still have a chance, and you still have room to grow. I'll give you a month, and next time, I'll hear from you! Can it be done? The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, his voice booming, with inexplicable magic.
Sword Fang nodded and said, "Yes!" "The waist is straight, and the muscular chest can be felt clearly even through the clothes, but this young chest burns with a polluted flame, which is not pure.
β¦β¦
An unknown Malatang in a certain street and alley, on the night of the New Year's Day holiday, still sticks to its post, exuding a strong fragrance in a timely manner, attracting passing guests to visit. Among them, a man and a woman stand out. The man is wearing a long black trench coat, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of black boots, which is still a normal trendy style. But the woman was wearing black hair, a yellow robe, and a long sword hanging from her waist. This dress, people who don't know it think it's a Taoist aunt who has just come down the mountain.
In fact, the proprietress of Malatang is struggling with whether to find a little Taoist aunt to count the hexagrams. The man and woman are Zhang Yue and Yan Xi, who have just finished filming.
Yan Xi had a small basket in his left hand and a clamp in his right hand, and while stomping his feet, he tried his best to put vegetables into the basket. Fish balls, beef balls, fish fillet, fatty beef, crab fillet, sausage, chicken wings...... Varied, but all have one common feature, and they are all meat. As for the green vegetables, she didn't bother to glance at them.
Zhang Yue watched from the side and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to eat some green vegetables?" Aren't you trying to lose weight? β
Yan Xi didn't speak, and responded to Zhang Yue with a heavy kick. Although she didn't wear high heels this time, this kick also made Zhang Yue stumble, and almost fell to the ground with no one and vegetables. Zhang Yue shook her head and sighed helplessly.
Finally, two baskets were placed in front of the hostess. One was full of meat, and the other was only half full, and it was half vegetable, half meat. The proprietress once thought that the two were serving vegetables to each other, until she saw Yan Xi feasting on the table, she was a little jealous, why did she usually pay attention to this and that, but she was still a bucket waist, and this girl ate so much, and there was a small waist?
The world has never been fair.
Zhang Yue picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in the sauce he had concocted, and was about to deliver it to his mouth. Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks came out of the air and snatched the piece of meat with lightning speed. When Zhang Yue reacted, the fat and tender beef had already fallen into Yan Xi's mouth.
"Your beef is a little special." Yan Xi licked her lips and said with a smile.
Zhang Yue pushed her bowl in front of Yan Xi and said, "Leave some for me." β
"Okay, no problem."
In just half a minute, the meat in Zhang Yue's bowl was emptied, some were being chewed by Yan Xi's silver teeth, and some were lying quietly in Yan Xi's bowl. Zhang Yue looked at the bowl that was pushed back, only a few slices of lettuce remained, and some mushrooms were floating in the red spicy soup, and sighed: "This is to leave some for me?" β
Yan Xi chewed the chicken wings that had just been snatched from Zhang Yue's bowl, and said vaguely: "That's right! Is there a problem? Didn't you keep the greens? β
Zhang Yue stroked his forehead, he had nothing to do with Yan Xi, so he could only admit it obediently. After a full meal, Yan Xi touched her stomach with satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief, as if she had vomited all the fatigue of the day.
"It's not early, let's find a hotel to stay in." Zhang Yue said.
Yan Xi was stunned and said, "Go back to your house?" Why stay in a guesthouse? β
Zhang Yue shook her phone and said, "My mother said that the lock was changed at home, and she couldn't come back to her relatives' house for the time being." β
"This ...... We didn't even have a change of clothes, so we really served your mother. Yan Xi held her forehead, unspeakably helpless, this look still rarely patronized her face, Zhang Yue couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"Look at it! Look, hurry up and find a way to solve it, otherwise do you want to take a shower and sleep with me naked* tonight? I don't mind, can you handle it? Yan Xi said coldly.
Zhang Yue pouted: "It's not that I haven't seen it." β
ββ¦β¦ You're definitely not a man. I'm going to tear your clothes tonight," Yan Xi scolded.
Zhang Yue didn't care about the question of whether to run naked or not, he cared more about the word task, "Task? What task? What about the promised three-day off? β
Yan Xi glared at Zhang Yue and said, "Today's beautiful man with the second middle school disease, you really can't see the clues?" Or do you see it and don't want to pay attention to it? β
"......" Zhang Yue was silent for a while before she said, "I just want to enjoy my vacation." β
"Zhang Yue, remember, you are an alien spirit, belonging to the Spirit Dao Alliance, and your duty is to eliminate demons."
