Chapter Eighty-Seven: Scheming

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! ”

Chapter 87

It's just that this so-called immortal was invited by Ping Yan to punish evil and promote good.

Xiao Ma wiped a trace of success in his eyes, his head clanged, and he said loudly with conviction: "Welcome to the immortals, welcome to the immortals!" ”

When several other Taoist priests saw this situation, they did not doubt him, thinking that their pious beliefs over the years had touched the Sanqing immortals, so they got a phone call and knelt on the futon one after another, and were grateful.

Xiao Ma saw that they were almost nostalgic, and stepped forward to help the oldest Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was overjoyed, and his skinny body almost couldn't stand.

"It's really God's eyes, the disciple is summoned by the Heavenly Masters today, even if he dies, it's worth it."

Xiao Ma took the opportunity to say: "Don't say that, big immortals, the immortals came down to lighten up, presumably it is to teach the method of immortal cultivation." ”

The other Taoist priests also got up and said one after another: "Yes, yes, the Sanqing masters are in the Heavenly Palace, and they have to go down to the mortal world for a free trip, and they must teach us the immortal law." ”

Xiao Ma's eyes moved, ran to the offering table, pointed to the incense burner on it, and pretended to be curious, "As soon as I came in, I saw the silver fire in this incense burner, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, wouldn't the immortal method taught by the immortals be here?" ”

He was right that an incredible change came from the censer.

Several Taoist priests frowned and pondered.

Xiao Ma looked excited, and said: "It is said that the immortals enjoy the tribute incense, and the incense ash can reach the heavens and the earth. ”

The Taoist priests looked at each other in pairs, and they all cast their blazing eyes on the incense burner.

"Great, in this way, our helper's lifelong wish will be fulfilled!" Xiao Ma clapped his hands and praised.

Such a good thing is at your fingertips, where are a few Taoist priests willing to share it with others, solemnly drove away Xiao Ma, and ordered him not to talk nonsense.

But how can he hide it, the white phosphorus that he sprinkled all the way outside the palace, the phosphorus powder burned, the flames danced with the wind, and they had already floated to the ground.

The sweet white porcelain cup is clustered with blue and white flowers, and a few pieces of tea leaves float leisurely on the clear and clear tea soup, like swaying duckweed.

Dong Guosheng pointed his fingers, rubbed the rim of the cup carelessly, and glanced at Ping Yan who was standing beside Huo Sanye from time to time.

She looked serene and uneventful, even though she was caught in the middle of a gun raised by a rod around her.

Huo Sanye said: "What? Commander Dong won back the military defense rights of Qingyuan Town, and he will soon go to the front line to supervise the battle, and now he should be the most proud person in the entire Qingzhou, why does he look worried? ”

Dong Guosheng smiled, met his eyes, and said: "Third master, I set up a banquet in Cuiming Building in the evening, and prepared a thin gift that is not a respect, and I specially came to invite you to go to Lehele together, thank you for your kindness to the Lingnan Army this time." ”

Saying that, he glanced at Ping Yan on the side, with a look of disdain, and a bit of old-faced and skinless anger, "This cheap woman has ruined the reputation of my Dong family, and she is pregnant with someone else's seed in her stomach, what is the third master still keeping her for, it's better to kill it as soon as possible!" ”

Huo Sanye tacitly hooked his lips and drank tea, "That day, Wang Sleeve came to me and said that he saw a big secret on Mulan Mountain, he picked up a handkerchief in the cave, and there were a few points of virgin blood on the handkerchief, and Lin Lixue's new-style woman would not use such an old-fashioned handkerchief, and later he found out that the handkerchief was hers after several investigations, and he completely understood why Shen Yuchen would never forget the night in the cave, it turned out that it was your good daughter-in-law who was with him in the cave that night. He couldn't help but laugh.

Ping Yan suddenly realized that all these twists and turns were caused by Wang Sleeve.

She has always seen Wang Sleeve's intentions for Lin Lixue, but she still can't bear the blow of loving another marriage, and she is jealous of hatred, so she gave Shen Yuchen a fatal blow.

Dong Guosheng's face was pale, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Huo Sanye floated the tea foam, and turned his face a little coldly, "This means a lot." In order to repay Shen Yuchen's hatred for taking his wife, Wang Sleeve teamed up with us to make a farce and mess up the wedding, what he promised me was that after the matter was completed, Shen Yuchen's life would be controlled by me, but don't forget what you promised me? But the life of your daughter-in-law, you said that you would kill or chop it, so you left it with me. ”

He slowly put the teacup on the table, raised a pair of bright and sharp eyes, and said with a smile: "Looking at the way Ling Gongzi desperately protected her at the wedding, you know that he has a deep affection for your daughter-in-law, if she dies, Ling Gongzi doesn't know how sad she is, let her breathe for two more days, let me calculate the general account." Besides, this Qingyun gang wolf pool tiger's den, even if someone is reluctant to let her die and wants to save her, I have to prepare in advance, right? Annihilate her in one fell swoop while she is alive, and save her from the fact that someone will come to me for revenge after her death. ”

Dong Guosheng couldn't help but hear the mystery in his words, and immediately his face stiffened, and he echoed the casual evil words: "That's natural, it's just that such a water-based poplar woman can't stay for a long time." ”

As he was talking, Bai Gu hurriedly walked from outside the door, leaned over to his ear, and whispered a few words to Huo Sanye.

"Is that true?" Huo Sanye straightened up, his face full of red light.

Bai Gu said: "I went to see it in person, but the scene will disappear when I go, but it is no different from what Xiao Ma described." ”

Huo Sanye threw his cane and said in response: "Great, great, my body can be saved." ”

As he spoke, he limped out, passed Dong Guosheng, and sent off the guests with a few words, "Commander Dong, I still have something to do, so I won't send it far away, oh, by the way, I will go to the banquet in the evening." ”

Dong Guosheng looked at his back in a hurry and couldn't help but be surprised.

Ping Yan guessed that Xiao Ma had succeeded, and secretly put her mind at ease.

Although she has a blood feud with Dong Guosheng, she somehow wanted to ask Dong Changlin about his current situation at this time, but she actually opened her mouth in a ghostly manner, "How is Changlin?" Even she was shocked.

Dong Guosheng turned his head with contempt and contempt, glanced at her, and remembered that a well-behaved and obedient child like Changlin actually knelt in the snow for half the night for her to disobey his father's order and not want his life, and suddenly became angry, and his tone was sarcastic, "Do you still have the face to ask about Changlin?" Let's take care of yourself first. ”

As he spoke, he threw up his sleeves and turned around, his military boots heavy.

Ping Yan looked at his back, and suddenly felt that his behavior and deeds today were indescribably strange.

However, none of this is very important, the important thing is that by tomorrow at the latest, she will wait for Huo Sanye's death.

Now, she wants to tell Bai Heng the good news.

The moon is cold in winter, and the snow is impermanent. The lead clouds piled up, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be covered in a glass bottle full of sand barrier ink marks, which weighed down people and made people breathless. But Ping Yan was very cheerful and relaxed, she was detained and walked, and the snow particles fell all over her head, like a fragrant white plum.

And the snow fell even more, but in Lin Lixue's eyes, it was depressing and dull.

The snow that fell from the sky was more like a white banner of filial piety, taking her father's life.

Her eyes were hazy with tears, the snowflakes were falling all over her head, and it was extremely cold, but she still didn't feel anything, as if she could accompany her father for a longer journey.

The maid who was guarding behind her saw Wang Sleeve coming and was about to speak, but Wang Sleeve made a silent gesture, waved her hand, and the maid hurriedly walked away.

Wang Sleeve took a crane feather and approached her slowly, his eyes full of pity, and gently draped it on her shoulders.

Lin Lixue was like a frightened deer, she bounced away in fright, and when she saw that it was Lin Heng, her face was full of vigilance, she raised the fruit knife that she had been holding in her hand for self-defense, aimed at the king's sleeve, and said coldly: "You get out, don't get close to me!" It's all you, killed Dad, I will never forgive you, you'd better let me go right away, or one day, I'll kill you! ”

Wang Sleeve's eyes were sad, and he approached as if he were blind, facing the chaotic snow, and Lin Lixue hesitantly covered his retreat.

He stopped, bent down to pick up the big snow in the snow, and carefully patted the snow with delicate movements, and his heart throbbed, "Miss, do you remember this dress?" ”

Lin Lixue didn't look at it, and roared: "You get out!" I don't want to see you again! ”

He took a deep breath and hugged the warm big in his arms, as if he was greedy for the temperature he once had.

In the wind and snowflakes in confusion, he raised his face with tears in his eyes, as if through the changes of the world, he touched the affection of the bamboo horse and the green plum back then.

"Every winter when it snows, I practice martial arts and training in the heavy snow, you are afraid that I will freeze, so you will hide it from the overseers and send me this big piece of fire, but I know that you will not send it to me again this year, because Shen Yuchen came, and he took everything that should have belonged to me without much effort."

He walked steadily, grabbed the knife in her hand with his bare hands, snatched it, and threw it into the snow, the blade passing through the flesh of his palm, and the blood was filled.

He used his blood-stained hand to clasp Lin Lixue's two hands tightly, and the other hand stretched out and wrapped it tightly around her, "Whether you want to or not, every winter in the future, I will put it on for you." ”

Lin Lixue glared at him viciously.

He was stabbed by the look of his enemy, but he still smiled softly, and his fingers slowly rubbed against her cheek, "I'm going to avenge the Overseers tonight, so that you can stop hating me?" ”
