Chapter 485: In troubled times, demons will come out
Sound and light, gunsmoke, men, women and children lying on the ground, don't get me wrong, this is not a corpse strewn all over the field after the war, just a scene where everyone is drunk after the festival. Small ⊙
I have to say that all this was very unexpected to Ling Xiao, the usually gentle and easy-going villagers were so wild when they carnivaled!
The carnival of the sea god is not all singing and dancing, this festival actually has a layer of meaning that men and women confess to each other. And this festival seems to have a special meaning for the villagers, and I don't know how many couples of men and women are vying to make a lifelong decision in this festival.
Ling Xiao was destined to not understand the fanaticism in the hearts of these people, and all he could do was to be a quiet bystander. But sometimes just because you don't cause trouble doesn't mean you won't find yourself in trouble.
"Brother Ling, while everyone is happy, why don't you and Sister Xue do the happy event with everyone!" Hua Ping smiled with a blushing face as he held the wine bowl, and his voice was loud enough to attract everyone's attention.
Ling Xiao just swallowed half of the chicken leg in his stomach and choked out again, looking at Hua Ping with a resentful expression, "I just said that minors can't drink bars!" It's really going to be a bear child! ”
Yanagi Yukihime, who was eating quietly on the side, was also frozen there with a strange face, and a bean sprout on the chopsticks in his hand stopped in the air to eat it, and it was not not not to eat.
This is the case with lying, once you have the first lie, you have to use countless lies to fulfill that lie!
Facing everyone's kind eyes, Ling Xiao coughed lightly and said: "Naturally, parents should be in charge of marriage matters, although Xue'er's parents do not approve, but they still have to ask their parents!" ”
"Cher?" Yanagi Yukihime's eyes were full of inexplicable smiles as she looked at Ling Xiao. I could see him in a cold sweat.
Hong Antong smiled and affirmed when he heard this: "What the little brother said makes sense. Marriage is not a child's play. It should be blessed by parents! ”
Ling Xiao said happily when he heard this: "What the patriarch said is right, I respect you for this bowl!" Saying a bowl of wine, he made a few snorts.
This means that everyone has practiced martial arts, otherwise such a drinking method would really be like an ordinary person lying on the ground with a loss of shape!
Seeing that there was no excitement, Hua Ping was not disappointed and went to fight with others while holding the wine jar, and after seeing everyone's attention shifted, Ling Xiao quietly wiped his sweat, and Yanagi Xue Ji laughed when he saw this: "I seem to have heard that your parents have already passed away!" ”
Ling Xiao picked up the wine jug and filled Liu Sheng Xueji's wine glass with no care, "You don't have to say that you are so elegant, they all died unexpectedly. I don't remember anything about it, though. So there's nothing to be sad about. ”
Yanagi Yukihime obviously misunderstood, and bowed her head for a while and said "I'm sorry".
Seeing this, Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't be so sad about the big festival. With your Fuso's intelligence ability, you must have investigated me a long time ago, but I really didn't care about it. ”
Yanagi Yukihime nodded and said, "Then have you ever thought about revenge?" ”
"On the surface, Cai Xiang asked someone to do this, but now that Cai Xiang has been killed, then this matter will end here. As for who Cai Xiang is behind it, I'm not interested in knowing. Ling Xiao pursed his lips, indicating that the young master didn't care at all.
Yanagi Xue Ji looked at Ling Xiao deeply, took the wine glass and drank it all, and was silent for a long time.
The two of them were obviously a little embarrassed by this topic, and there was a good sentence. Talking in a shallow way is often the most hurtful.
However, this time Liu Sheng Xueji really misunderstood, the reason why Ling Xiao was not interested was because he already knew which family Cai Xiang was raising the dog! But what if you know? He couldn't find the other party's hiding place at all. It's not his character to go crazy all over the world for two people who have no impression at all, even if he avenges his predecessor, it will only be a matter of convenience.
Perhaps thinking that the atmosphere between the two was a little bad, Ling Xiao took the initiative to change the topic and said, "The patriarch once looked for me before the banquet began. ”
"What's the matter?" Yanagi Yukihime asked strangely.
"It's about the two of us leaving, the patriarch said that there will be a caravan set off for Fusang the day after tomorrow, if we are really in a hurry, we can go to Fusang first and then reverse the ship to the Central Plains!" Ling Xiao casually raised his eyes to look at her, but saw that her brows were slightly furrowed and her eyes looked at her a little strange.
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Yanagi Yukihime shook her head and muttered for a while: "I said before that there was no boat to go back, but now I said that I could reverse the boat and go back to the Central Plains. ”
Ling Xiao nodded and said nonchalantly: "Although Hong Antong doesn't go out of the village all year round, you can see how far away he is from the world in his words and deeds!" And who can become a grandmaster can be underestimated, maybe they see your flaws, or they really want to drive us away! ”
"My flaws? Is there anything I'm showing my feet? Yanagi Yukihime asked in some surprise.
Ling Xiao rolled her eyes and smiled: "If you are a person who is familiar with Fusang customs, you can see that something is wrong with you at first glance, for example, your straight back is a habit formed by kneeling and sitting often, although the back of a Ming woman is also mostly straight, but there is still a clear difference from your habit of kneeling and sitting." Just take a closer look and you'll find out! In addition......"
Yanagi Yukihime was surprised: "And? I've been very restrained, taking care not to show my habits in Fuso. ”
Ling Xiao continued: "Forget about the previous one, if Hong Antong wasn't particularly familiar with Fusang, he might not have found out, but if you look at the attitude of the people in the village towards the Fusang people, do you think they don't understand?" In fact, your biggest flaw is your socks. ”
"Socks?"
"Yes, your Fuso should be called a foot bag, which is very different from our Daming style. Although you changed it later, you didn't hide it from the villagers. Ling Xiao explained.
"I'm really negligent, but if they really see it, then why don't they expose it? Is there really any intention as you say? Yukihime Yagyu said with some concern.
"That's because they also see that I'm not from Fuso."
"How?"
Ling Xiao took a sip of wine and said: "The difference between Fusang men and Central Plains men is more obvious, not only the underwear habits, but also the changes in foot shapes due to wearing clogs all year round are the most obvious evidence. The reason why they don't expose you. The main thing is to see that I am a genuine Central Plains person. ”
"Does it matter?" Yanagi Yukihime puzzled.
Ling smiled and glanced at Yanagi Yukihime playfully. "Whether it's the Central Plains, Miaojiang, or your Fusang, or other places. The name of women is extremely important. If we are not husband and wife and we live in the same room every night, then you don't have to think about getting married in the future! It is precisely because of this that our lie of elopement has not been exposed, and the old patriarch probably thinks that I abducted you from Fuso! And judging from your temperament and clothing, you are a young lady from a big family, so you must have a certain amount of power in Fuso. At that time, I rejected the suggestion to reverse the ship and return to the Central Plains, which confirmed our identity even more! ”
Liu Sheng Xue Ji chuckled lightly, looking at Ling Xiao with a playful look, "That's all that I said. So you've already refused! ”
"Well, this is also for our safety, in case the old patriarch turns his face and asks us to add food to the monster, it won't be a loss!" Ling Xiao scratched her cheeks a little embarrassed, but she didn't notice Yanagi Xueji's slightly flushed face against the firelight.
"If you're in a hurry to get home, I can also talk to the patriarch." Ling Xiao's words came slowly, but Yanagi Xue Ji had already looked at the men and women who were drinking happily by the fire, and a word that could not be described as an emotion floated into Ling Xiao's ears.
"What are you going to do? You don't care and the people who care about you aren't there......"
"You're leaving? Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Wu Di looked at Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun in some surprise, after the two were brought back by Lin Xian'er, they were like frosted eggplants, and they had no energy to do anything. But fortunately, Ghost Li's medical skills are magical. The injuries of the two were not serious, and most of them were due to excessive loss of true qi, so they quickly recovered their physical condition. It's just that the two of them were in a hurry to leave as soon as they got better.
"There's nothing left to worry about, what are you doing here?" Wu Xingyun still had that bullish temper, and said with a cold face.
Wu Di has long been accustomed to her attitude, from a certain point of view, he and Lin Xian'er have both benefited from the Carefree Sect, and they can endure these two seniors, "Uh, okay, since the two seniors have already decided, the juniors don't have to keep much, so do you think Wang Yuyan doesn't need to send it?" ”
In fact, this sentence is the point, how Zhao Yuelu says it is also the status of a princess, if a big beauty suddenly lives in the family, her face is not good-looking, even if Wu Di is Wang Yuyan's elder above the seniority, but Zhao Yuelu represents the face of the royal family after all.
As for Ling Xiao's side, it is even more troublesome, ruthless is now the default Ling family in the entire capital, if there is another Wang Yuyan, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the master!
Wu Di couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought of this, and the master didn't know what he had in mind and agreed to let Wang Yuyan come over!
I only heard Li Qiushui say to Wu Xingyun with a lonely face as if he hadn't heard it: "Senior sister, now that you and I have no way out, I don't know if I mind if I go to your vulture palace to taste the wine?" ”
Wu Xingyun showed a rare hint of innocent smile and said: "Senior sister, why should you be so polite, my jar of wine has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
Seeing the two of them looking at each other and smiling, everything was silent, the corners of Wu Di's mouth twitched slightly, did I say what I said before in vain?
The two of them are grandmasters and masters, and they are also the existence of leaving, so they simply said hello to the rest of the people and flew away.
"Cut! Are all masters of this virtue? If you don't go through the door, you have to go over the wall! Zero Zero pouted disdainfully.
Knock knock!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and everyone was surprised, could it be that they forgot to bring something?
Zero suspiciously opened the door, but saw three women standing outside the door, the first two women wearing blue cloaks, delicate appearance, well-proportioned figures, are already rare beauties, but it is a big difference from the last woman. I saw that the last woman looked beautiful and refined, wearing a white skirt and covering her body, with a fairy aura set off all over her body, and she was stunned for a while!
However, he is a well-known good man, and after a moment of distraction, he asked, "The three girls want to see a doctor?" Then please come in! ”
As soon as these words came out, the three girls were suddenly embarrassed. They are going to enter the house, but when you say that, don't you say that we are sick?
"That...... May I ask if this is Lord Ling Xiaoling's home? A woman suddenly asked.
Oddly surprised, "Looking for my apprentice?" He can't cure the disease, even the eldest aunt can't cure it! I'm the best at it! ”
Third Daughter: "......"
"It's Sister Wang. Come on in! Lin Xian'er couldn't stand it at all. Seeing Wang Yuyan at the door, she shouted embarrassed and didn't know how to react.
Wu Di heard this and hurriedly looked over. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, Li Qiushui had just left this Wang Yuyan as soon as he left, could it be that he had already calculated it!
Hearing this, he looked Wang Yuyan up and down, nodded and said, "It turns out that you are Wang Yuyan, well, you are also a beautiful little girl." It's not a shame for me to protect the dragon clan if you take it out! ”
"Go! What does this have to do with you? Shi Niang glanced at her angrily, stretched out her hand to pull Wang Yuyan into the courtyard, and enthusiastically introduced everyone to her.
"The one with a bitter face is Wu Di. Standing behind him is his daughter-in-law, but she is the princess of the dynasty! Shi Niang introduced Zhao Yuelu, Wang Yuyan is a person who knows etiquette, and hurriedly gave a gift to the princess.
Zhao Yuelu didn't care about it, but felt that the master was thinking too much, and she didn't need to be a little third, but she believed that Wu Di's personality was at least much more reliable than his master!
Then the master introduced ruthlessly and said: "This is Ling Xiao's woman, from the perspective of seniority, she is the same generation as your grandmother, you must respect it!" ”
This is a bit of a knock, it is to tell you not to beat Ling Xiao's idea, otherwise we are all welcome!
But Wang Yuyan never meant that. Naturally, I couldn't hear the warning in the mouth of the teacher, but I just gave a junior ceremony. Ruthless did not refute Shi Niang's words. He wasn't even shy, but when he mentioned Ling Xiao, there was a trace of sorrow in his eyes.
After introducing a circle, the two Vulture Palace disciples who sent Wang Yuyan here saw that everyone ignored them, so they had to say a few words and left.
Lin Xian'er naturally knew something about Wang Yuyan after following Ling Xiao all the way, knowing that she didn't mean anything to her master and senior brother, she was not as hostile as her master, and asked with a smile: "I don't know how Brother Xiao Feng is doing?" ”
Wang Yuyan saw that Lin Xian'er's elf was as beautiful as a flower, and she had a good impression when she first saw it, "Brother Xiao is now Dali's concubine, and he and Sister Azhu are very happy." As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and his originally indifferent expression dimmed again.
Wu Di naturally heard about her grievances and entanglements with Murong Fu, and knew that she remembered the negative person again, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said to Lin Xian'er: "Xiao Feng is the master's sworn brother, we want to call the master!" ”
"Got it!" Lin Xian'er rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Wu Di asked again: "By the way, is it okay to walk this way?" Let's go to the house and rest. ”
Wang Yuyan shook her head and thanked: "Thanks to your concern, people are kind under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and there are no surprises along the way." But Dali is not very peaceful! ”
"Huh? How can Dali not be peaceful, hasn't there been a war there for many years? I heard that the people are also quite rich. Zero Zero interjected curiously.
Wang Yuyan thought of this, but her face turned pale, and she even became short of breath for a moment, and when she saw this, she suddenly became interested, and hurriedly said, "What the hell are you?" Let's talk about it, what kind of law is not peaceful! ”
The atmosphere in the hospital has been very dull these days, and finally there is a topic, but everyone is quite curious, and they should listen to the gossip.
I saw Wang Yuyan silent for a long time and said: "When I passed through the territory of Dali, my grandmother sent hundreds of people to protect me!" It's because Dali has been making trouble with blood recently! ”
"What is a Blood Fiend?" Wu Di said in surprise when he heard this.
"It all started a year ago." Wang Yuyan paused for a moment and continued: "Things first started in Miao Jiang, when there was a village on the edge that suddenly lost contact with the town to which it belonged. By the time the mayor found out about the anomaly, more than half a month had passed, and when he led the troops to the village, he found that all the villagers were left with human skins! ”
"Shhh Human skin? Everyone gasped and exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, it's human skin! There were no wounds on his body, but the flesh and blood on his body had been drained. This incident caused a sensation in the entire Miao Jiang at that time, and even the high priest personally inquired about it, and the Five Poisons Sect was all dispatched. It is said that the person who did evil was found in a poisonous barrier, but that person was strong and the people of the Five Poisons Sect were not opponents. In the end, it was the High Priest and King Miao who personally defeated him, but it seemed to have a special way to escape, and he escaped from the siege of the two masters, and the name of the Blood Demon came from this! Wang Yuyan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her face was full of solemnity.
"How do you know so clearly? Could it be that this blood demon ran to Dali? Lin Xian'er asked curiously.
Wang Yuyan was stunned when she heard this, and said with a somewhat sullen face: "This blood demon has indeed entered the territory of Dali, and many villages have already been affected by the seedlings when I came out!" And the cousin ...... I mean, Murong Fu was appointed by the King of Zhennan as an evil general, specializing in dealing with blood demons! ”
"Oh! I see, does this Zhennan King have a grudge against your cousin? Wu Di suddenly said with some amusement.
"Why do you say that?" Odd Rush asked.
"I once met with King Miao and the High Priest, those are two unfathomable masters, in my perception, that King Miao has at least once hit the Great Perfection Realm!" Wu Di said with a solemn face.
"So fierce? What about the high priest? Lin Xian'er asked, the last time her support arrived, King Miao and the two had already left.
Wu Di thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I don't know much about Xuan Xiu, but as far as I can perceive, this high priest should be weaker than King Miao, but it is by no means easy to match. Even they couldn't keep the Blood Demon, so wouldn't Murong Fu be more than lucky? ”
Zero Zero-hair nodded and said, "Yes, a strong man who can draw flesh and blood with or without wounds must be very powerful!" ”
"That's what you're paying attention to!" Shi Niang couldn't cry or laugh.
Seeing that Wang Yuyan's eyes were full of worry, Wu Di thought for a while and said, "According to my observation, Murong Fu is the most shrewd, and he should be able to avoid evil!" ”
Wang Yuyan was very grateful to Wu Di for his comfort, but still shook her head and said, "Brother Wu doesn't have to worry about me, Murong Fu has nothing to do with me!" ”(
