Chapter Eighty-Six: Immortals
The little mahjong led Ping Yan to the hall and left as usual. The eyes of the two met slightly, but there was a subtlety that they knew.
As soon as Huo Sanye saw her, he couldn't bear it, and threatened vigorously: "Can you tell the whereabouts of the bronze box now?" If you dare to play any tricks again, I promise you will not live or die. ”
Ping Yan smiled slightly, he actually had the attitude of a battle-hardened general, neither humble nor arrogant, and even had a few traces of counterattack and defensive posture, "Looking at your poor spirits, you must not be able to get the bronze box, so you can't sleep peacefully, right?" ”
Huo Sanye slammed the table and stood up, shaking the teacup to her feet.
"You are a prisoner, don't know what to do! I want you to die, it's easier than pinching an ant to death! ”
Ping Yan's expression was cold, she bent down to pick up the porcelain cup on the ground, her fingers as white as Hsinchu slowly rubbed the lines of the golden flowers and auspicious clouds on the cup, and her words were sarcastic and provocative, "If I'm not mistaken, this cup was fired in the kiln of the former Qing Dynasty. As for you, you should be the most bearable after serving others for half your life, but now that the world has changed, your temper is becoming more and more like a master, isn't it? Father-in-law? ”
Huo Sanye was so angry that he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, so he directly drew a gun from the waist of his own disciple and put it on Ping Yan's head in the air.
Ping Yan stepped forward head-on, without fear, "What, Huo Sanye is willing not to want the bronze box?" ”
If it were possible, he would now be eager to dig out her heart and liver with his bare hands and step on it to a pulp in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
But the contents of the bronze box are undoubtedly the way for him to make a comeback one day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
He gritted his teeth, squeezed out a trace of calmness, and slowly put down the gun, "Okay, I won't kill you." ”
Anyway, as long as she gets the bronze box, her life is not at her fingertips.
......
The alchemy room is located underground, except for some warlocks who study the side door all day long, they are kept secret from the outside world, and they are closely guarded, if it is not for Huo Sanye's personal confidants, it is difficult to approach.
Xiao Ma chose the right time, made a drunken look, and staggered up.
Several guards immediately came over to push him away, put a big knife on his body, and shouted coldly: "Where did you come from, drunkard, this kind of place is not where you should come, get out of here!" ”
Xiao Ma smiled drunkenly, revealing a confused expression, "This brother...... I am a subordinate of the deputy gang leader Bai Gu, because of my meritorious service, I have rewarded me with a lot of oceans, and when I am happy, I drink too much...... This, where is this? ”
When the doorman heard the name of the white bone, he naturally didn't dare to embarrass him too much, looked at each other, made up his mind, and waved his hand to beckon the two of them over, and ordered Xiao Ma to be sent away.
Xiao Ma was carried out and walked out, and a glimmer of light gradually flashed in his eyes.
He quietly opened his clothes, and suddenly dozens of hundred-yuan bills hidden in his chest were sprinkled out and fell to the ground.
Like a drunken and delirious drunkard, he swayed and glanced at the ground, and said strangely: "Who threw the paper?" With that, he walked away.
The two big men who helped him glanced at his back, and then looked at the money all over the ground, and the word wealth was the head, and they didn't care about anything, so they immediately picked it up with both hands.
The other guards naturally saw this scene, and they all threw away their weapons and rushed up.
Taking advantage of the noisy scramble, Xiao Ma's figure turned, and he unconsciously turned his direction, as fast as the wind, and went straight to the underground stairs not far away.
The long staircase continues to extend downward, and it is an endless, silent road, with immortal Buddha statues painted on the walls, and the face that should be kind and compassionate is crossed by yin qi, more like an evil ghost wearing human skin and an ugly face.
Xiao Ma while trying to explore the terrain, while walking in, it seems that he has walked for a long time, the narrow road suddenly widened, in front of him is a piece of red wall and golden tile, the palace is magnificent, the door hall is heavy, the eaves copper beast, like another small, unknown feudal dynasty.
Seeing a lot of knowledge, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Just as he was amazed, there was a sound of footsteps from the verandah, and Xiao Ma quickly hid behind the wall.
There are four people who come, some talking and laughing, all wearing flowing wide-sleeved gauze robes, with white hair, hanging straight down to the waist, loosely curling, seeing through the spirit, but the real fairy wind bones, like the immortals who ride the auspicious clouds and step on the mortal dust.
They stepped onto the jade ladder hand in hand, discussing today's alchemy.
Xiao Ma secretly followed behind him, tiptoed into the palace gate, his eyes saw the splendor, jade pillar dragon climbing, the style is like the Genting Heavenly Palace, can not be described half a point.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Huo Sanye really wanted to be an immortal and wanted to go crazy.
But a person's weakness is the hole of death, he looked at the two yellow pieces of paper wrapped in his arms, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
The ground is heavily guarded, because Huo Sanye thinks that the underground palace is a place to worship immortal Taoist priests, and it must be clean and peaceful, except for a few Taoist boys and some servants who serve daily life, there is no one else in the Nuoda palace, but it is extremely convenient.
Xiao Ma followed the group of Taoist priests, and shook off one of the packets of yellow paper as he walked, and the white phosphorus in the yellow paper fell fluttering along the road.
After stepping through one hall after another, the Taoist priest stopped his steps, tidied up his solemn clothes, and pushed the door in.
Xiao Ma tiptoed close to the window lattice, peeking in, only to see the smoke inside, the incense of tribute, through the shadow of the veil, vaguely visible three huge statues of gods, squarely placed on the offering table, look at the outline, like the Taoist Sanqing headed by the Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Each of the four Taoist leaders pinched up three sticks of incense, lit them on the tip of the candle, inserted them into the incense burner reverently and respectfully, knelt on the futon and bowed three times before getting up.
One of the oldest Taoist masters walked to the statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun, said that the disciple was disturbed, moved away from the fruit, there was a dark grid on the sandalwood table under the plate, he pressed it to the bottom with his fingers, only to hear a loud opening and closing, a narrow small door appeared on the wall behind the statue, and the four of them entered one after another.
When silence returned, Xiao Ma slipped in, looked around hastily, and locked his eyes to the bronze gilt incense burner on the offering table,
He took out another paper packet and sprinkled the powdered Sichuan grass in the incense burner, and sprinkled the remaining white phosphorus into it.
When the few incense sticks on the stove are burned, the hot incense ash floats into the incense burner, and the white phosphorus inside will be heated and ignited with a silver dazzling cloud of fire.
Xiao Ma took a few bites of the fruit on the plate, made a loud noise, and quickly opened the door and left.
After a while, the sound of Suo Suo came from inside the wall, and the Taoist priests rushed to hear the sound.
Looking at the empty room, the four of them looked at each other, and were about to leave, but they heard a cracking beep, like a fried belly in a pot, and then, the incense burner suddenly shot silver light, overflowing and blooming, so bright that people could not open their eyes, accompanied by the rising clouds, the silver fire fluttered, like a fire butterfly competing to spread its wings, falling everywhere.
The Taoist priests' eyes widened one by one, unable to believe the grand scene in front of them.
Until a Taoist priest knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and chanted loudly with excitement, "Manifested, manifested, such a spectacle, it is the gods who have appeared!" ”
At the same time, Fang Cai Xiaoma sprinkled the white phosphorus powder along the road and the air contact for too long, and the silver light was bright, like a winding silver dragon, circling horizontally around the palace, attracting the boy servants to watch and kowtow constantly.
Xiao Ma calculated the right time, pretended to be a servant who came to report, and knocked on the door and shouted, "Dao chiefs, it's lively outside, the gods have appeared!" ”
"What's going on?"
When he got a response, he ran in, and when he saw the scenery in the hall, he pretended to be dumbfounded, looked up with respect, and immediately knelt down and shouted, "It's really the gods coming!" He turned his head to the Taoist priests again, "Great immortals, there is also such a scene on the road outside, the silver fire is flying, attracting many boy servants to worship." ”
The sparks in the hall gradually extinguished, the clouds and mist slowly dispersed, and only the incense burner still had a thin layer of silver light. The Taoist priest who was the first to kneel on the ground stood up, walked to the arch table in a few steps, and happened to see a few bites of a few fruits on the plate.
But this offering was just offered this morning, and besides, no one came in or out of here except a few of them.
So who exactly eats it?
He suddenly thought of something, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and held a notched apple in both hands, which he regarded as a treasure, and showed it to the others, and said incoherently excitedly, "Look...... The fruit was eaten, it was the gods, and the Sanqing immortals came down to earth! ”
