Chapter 30: The Disaster of Innocence

Before listening to the post station messenger said, the person in charge of the Yizhuang here is a broken old road, and with two little apprentices, usually in addition to taking care of the post station, he also does some exorcism and ghost hunting to pray for blessings and cure diseases, the robbers of the first two days have scavenged the surrounding food, and the old road took a pair of apprentices to the villages and towns in the south to make money. The two of them checked and found no living people, except for the three main houses on the east side, there were coffins in the other rooms, and they didn't know if there were any corpses in them, anyway, the smell was very strange and a little disgusting.

Zheng Yan pulled Yu Xiuxian, who wanted to go in and check, and went into the kitchen first, eating is important, and the pheasant is a little laborious to make. This woman gossiped a lot of gossip all the way, and she became more and more self-indulgent, which was completely unrelated to the surprise when she first met in the afternoon, so that Zheng Yan couldn't help but say "How good it would be if life was only as it was when I first saw it".

There is no salt or seasoning in the kitchen, not even kitchen knives and spatula, do these robbers want to live at home? Fortunately, I asked for some from the post office, and I have a deep memory of eating the blandly stewed fish a few days ago. Zheng Yan asked Yu Xiuxian to boil water, and went to the firewood room outside to get some hay, and slept in the kitchen tonight, and the two rooms next door can accommodate people, but after all, the owner is not there, so don't go to the door to pick the lock, and when you take the hay, you actually found a few potatoes.

Seeing Zheng Yan skillfully removing chickens, Yu Xiuxian's beautiful eyes widened, as if he had discovered something new,

"Your eyes are slender, but they are not small, so they look good", Zheng Yan couldn't help but say,

Yu Xiuxian didn't think he was rude, and said with a smile, "If you agree, you can tell our door master to bring me over."

Zheng Yan asked curiously, "What do you think?" I'll tell you, I will definitely not accept your master's plan, but I won't say anything to An Guogong or the imperial court, so you don't have to follow me,

Yu Xiuxian chuckled and said, "What women are best at is to subtly overcome rigidity with softness, how do you know that you will always refuse?",

Zheng Yan thought about it seriously and found that it seemed to be the case, and then felt that it seemed a bit nondescript to talk about this topic, so he stopped talking, cleaned up the two pheasants, and cut them into small pieces with a dagger.

Although he felt sorry for his sister's magic weapon, Yu Xiuxian was not polite when the meal was cooked, and the two of them finally had a full meal in the middle of the night, and then they each lay on the haystack and did not speak. It was very quiet outside, occasionally there were a few night owl calls, Yu Xiuxian struggled or moved to Zheng Yan's side, Zheng Yan felt a little uncomfortable, the black light blinded me somehow touched a chicken bone, laughed at himself and threw it out of the hole in the window, followed by the sound of bones rolling down the steps clearly, and finally made a slightly muffled sound, which should have completely fallen into the soil under the steps.

"Your Highness, is your heart surging?", Yu Xiuxian's soft voice came from his ears, pleasant and a little hoarse, it sounded a little ambiguous, a bit like Ru Hui Hongmu's usual flirtation of her own style at the beginning, and the key was that there was some orchid,

Zheng Yan said strangely, "Miss Yu's talent is better than Hua Ziyan, it is impossible for Xiandumen to take it out for sacrifice, or is it that the disciples with talent like the girl in Xiandumen are now worthless like cabbage?"

Yu Xiuxian chuckled and said, "That's not enough, thanks to His Royal Highness's praise, but my talent really can't be on the table, twenty-five years old is still the first level of refining gods and transforming voids, and the sword ruler junior sisters are already at the peak of refining gods and transforming voids in their early twenties, the exercises of Xiandumen, if you can't enter the realm of tunnels before the age of thirty, your achievements in this life will not be very high, I am almost hopeless, so it's not strange to be taken out and given away",

The voice in the darkness was very low and soft, it seemed to have some taste of resignation, Zheng Yan couldn't see that people were depressed, and tried his best to make his tone appear serious, "With your talent, if you enter the cultivation yamen set up by the imperial court, it should be no problem to enter the authentic realm within five years, the attachment of the Xiandu Gate to the imperial court is indeed an opportunity for you, but you also have to think clearly about the trade-offs between these two parties, the realm of the disciples of the sect is actually very subtle, I think you know better than me",

Yu Xiuxian chuckled and said, "Of course, I was taken away from my parents by the master when I was eight years old, saying that I was apprenticed to learn art, in fact, I know that it is a betrayal, whether it is etiquette or morality, I am a person from Xiandumen in this life, and I am a ghost of Xiandumen when I die, if I betray the whole world, I will never recover, and the devil will not accept me, at most I will be a lonely ghost and hide in the corner to survive, so I can only hope that the sect will take the initiative to send me out",

Somehow, as she spoke, the woman in the dark was already leaning on her shoulder, realizing this problem Zheng Yan was suddenly startled, and then a figure broke through the door, and there was an angry shout, "Adulterer, adulterer, woman!", in a hurry, he could only slap the person who came, and his whole arm hurt, knowing that this person's cultivation was a lot higher than himself, a dark red light flashed, and a muffled snort came from the darkness, and the person quickly flashed out, Zheng Yan took out his long sword and rushed out with a dagger.

As soon as I went out, I saw the figure in the courtyard who seemed to be preparing some spell, and there were words, and there was an anxious reminder behind him, "Be careful, retreat", but it was too late, a thunderbolt slashed down, and the black shadow rushed over again, and a figure flew out of the kitchen behind him, followed by the sound of two swords clashing, one white and one blue, gorgeous and urgent.

", are you worthy of me?!", the man drank as he fought,

Yu Xiuxian hurriedly said, "We didn't do anything, Your Highness is still just a teenager, aren't you ashamed to be so careful?!",

Zheng Yan was paralyzed and couldn't move, and his attention was always unable to concentrate.

"Nothing! What else do you want to do? Do you know how many women he played with? You think he's a teenager, he thinks you're a toy, get out of here, I'm going to kill him",

"You're crazy, he's the prince, if you kill him, the entire Wulei Gate and our Xiandu Gate will be buried together!",

"Get out of here!",

When he was speaking, Yu Xiuxian had already been slapped away with a palm, and he could only struggle in vain when he fell to the ground, and the angry man rushed towards Zheng Yan quickly, the long sword with electric light, and the scalp of the person was numb.

Zheng Yan finally recovered, while squatting down to pick up the fallen long sword and throwing out the dagger, it was already close at hand, the man couldn't dodge and was pierced in the middle abdomen by the dagger, but the speed did not decrease and the sword was chopped down, Zheng Yan only had time to raise the sword to block and at the same time lean back, and he was numb all over, and a strong force attacked, and his body rolled backwards into the kitchen,

"Deng Xingjian, stop!", Yu Xiuxian shouted urgently, and at the same time flew towards the man, and the two fought again.

The corners of Zheng Yan's mouth were bleeding, and he walked out of the kitchen tremblingly, looking at the two people fighting in the courtyard and smiling helplessly, it was really a disaster, did the people who practice the Lei Fa really have such a burst of temperament? I am really a little child, although I am tall and well-proportioned, but my face can also be seen, right? In other words, this guy is at least refining the peak of the gods, and the degree of solidity is far from being comparable to the sword ruler, and they really can't beat it, wait, there is always some hope for two people to fight one, right? Or he would really die here today.

Soon the courtyard became two to one, or one to two.

The man named Deng Xingjian was very angry, as if he was getting more and more angry and almost out of control, no matter how Yu Xiuxian explained that he was going to kill Zheng Yan, in the end, even Yu Xiuxian was seriously injured, Zheng Yan didn't know how much blood he had vomited, he could only exert a mental focus on himself, try to ignore the pain in his body and soul and fight the enemy wholeheartedly, this thunder method is really too tricky, he is still some kind of innate thunder body, it seems that he has a certain immunity and absorption of the thunder law, Yu Xiuxian is even worse, and he can still entangle this guy who has fallen into madness, it can only be said that this man does not want to kill his fiancée。

Kicked away again, Zheng Yan lay on the steps and saw clearly that there was another person in the courtyard by the blue and white light released by the two people who were fighting, a teenager younger than himself, who was indifferently watching the battle in the courtyard, and somehow saw that this young man was a little frightened for no reason, and then felt something strange under his hand, and looked down to find that the blood flowing from the wound in his hand was soaking into the soil in a strange shape, no, this is blood sucking, and some chicken bones thrown out before not far away are also slowly sinking.

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Zheng Yan was shocked, his eyes changed again, and he found that the blood dripping from the fight between the three of them was seeping into the ground, as well as the sputtering true vitality machine, there seemed to be something deep and gloomy in the ground slowly waking up, and there was a throbbing in his heart, just thinking about fleeing quickly, and he was trying to see clearly, when suddenly a delicate body smashed towards him, Zheng Yan subconsciously hugged and retreated, and retreated into the kitchen in the blink of an eye, at this time even he was surprised by the speed.

"Something is wrong! This place is wrong! There seems to be something down there, the kitchen is a raw door, let me see, the back, yes, we have to break the back wall", Zheng Yan looked around anxiously, and finally stood under the back wall and slapped it with a palm,

Yu Xiuxian, who was originally standing at the door to guard against Deng Xingjian, had a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, and quickly retreated to the back wall with the package of the two, Deng Xingjian in the courtyard was dealing with the wound in his abdomen, he lost control of his emotions just now and didn't think about the luck to heal his wounds, he was bleeding a lot, and he was still scolding while dealing with it, and he didn't notice the white bones with dark red light sticking out of the ground under his feet.

"Senior brother, your feet!", the young man not far away exclaimed,

Deng Xingjian looked down and was startled at first, and the next moment a sword was nailed into the ground, the sword body was full of lightning, the ground of the entire courtyard seemed to shrink suddenly, and then it seemed to be provoked to give birth to white bones all over the ground, a skeleton crawled out of the ground with a dark red light, and there was an exclamation from the young man next to him, Deng Xingjian drew his sword and swept back, quickly approached the young man, grabbed the collar and raised his hand to throw the young man to the courtyard wall, he was about to jump up, and was suddenly caught by a white bone.

Here, Zheng Yan and Yu Xiuxian broke through the back wall of the kitchen and entered a sandwich road, as long as they jumped on the courtyard wall next to them, they could escape, Yu Xiuxian suddenly stopped, and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, you go first, I have to go back, if he is in danger, my conscience is not at ease, and I can't explain to the master, I have caused trouble to His Highness today, and I have the opportunity to return it in the future", said and flashed back to the kitchen,

Zheng Yan sighed helplessly, endured serious injuries and jumped on the courtyard wall and jumped on the roof with strength, checking the scene in the courtyard while recovering his luck to prepare for accidents.

I saw that Yu Xiuxian had begun to help Deng Xingjian parry the encirclement of the skeletons, but every time these skeletons were cut over or cut apart, they could regroup and stand up again to continue to attack, Deng Xingjian's long sword still had electric light, probably because of this, the skeletons that had been cut down could not stand up again, but they sank into the ground one after another.

Yu Xiuxian shouted at him to retreat, Deng Xingjian's mood had calmed down a little at this time, and while swinging his sword, he cooperated with Yu Xiuxian to retreat towards the courtyard wall, Zheng Yan stood on the roof as far as his eye could see, and saw that the remaining skeletons in the courtyard were connected by dark red light bands sticking out from the ground, obviously controlled by the thing below.

Somehow, Deng Xingjian, who had already retreated, suddenly rushed back to the courtyard again, Yu Xiuxian's face was full of anxiety and helplessness, so he had to keep up with the guard, only to see Deng Xingjian chanting words while stepping on his feet, the wind in the courtyard was rising, and there was faint thunder, just when the skeletons came up, several thunderbolts began to fall in the air, smashing the skeletons one by one.

Zheng Yan couldn't help but marvel at the power of Lei Fa to break thousands of evil methods, but when he looked at it again, he found that the white bone fragments that were originally all over the ground had all seeped into the ground, and he was about to see the mystery of the underground, when suddenly his eyes returned to normal, it was really a critical moment to drop the chain, so he had to remind the two of them to leave quickly, there was indeed something underground,

Deng Xingjian Xunsheng saw Zheng Yan on the roof, he was furious again, and manipulated the thunder and lightning to slash at Zheng Yan's head, Zheng Yan only had time to insert the long sword into the roof, and then there was a burst of pain, and his consciousness fell into a blank,

Yu Xiuxian was completely angry, grabbed Deng Xingjian and asked in a cold voice, "Are you finished!",

Deng Xingjian's eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped away the woman who grabbed her hand and was about to rush over to slash the "adulterer" on the roof.

At this moment, the courtyard suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence, and a skeleton emitting a dim white light slowly rose from the ground, first twisted its neck, then moved its shoulder and wrist, and a dark red flew into the skeleton's hand, it was the dagger that Zheng Yan had dropped before, I saw the skeleton looking at it, and the next moment a light blue flame rose from the palm of the white bone, and the flame enveloped the dagger.

Deng Xingjian, who was closest to him, whispered to Yu Xiuxian to retreat quickly, Yu Xiuxian was still a little hesitant, Deng Xingjian put the sword in front of his chest, made a sword finger with one hand and slowly slashed across the sword body, his lips moved slightly, and the wind and thunder gathered again with him as the center, Yu Xiuxian's teeth bited lightly, his face seemed to begin to become pure and quiet, and the long sword in his hand released a faint blue light, like a water curtain rippling, and soon filled the entire courtyard.

Zheng Yan barely had some consciousness, sat on the roof, and looked at the men and women in the courtyard who looked like immortals at this time, with helpless faces, aren't you quite a good match? How do you usually get along? And obviously I don't have anything to do with you, I will actually be jealous, this mind is too bad, right? Well, it was indeed a little ambiguous in the eyes of others at that time, it shouldn't have been, it was my own carelessness.

Just when Zheng Yan was full of self-blame, the two people in the courtyard had already finished casting the spell, only to see the skeleton staggering under the slow tearing and washing of the light blue water curtain, and the blue flame wrapped in the dagger began to weaken;

The skeleton suddenly let out a roar that seemed to be able to tear apart the soul, and the young man who had been standing on the wall fell directly outward and did not move, the two people in the courtyard were full of pain, and they couldn't help but fall down slowly with a blank face, Zheng Yan was not happy, and just as he was about to pass out, the New Year's money on his chest released a light cyan shield.

The thunder snake that lingered on the skeleton continued to bite the dark red light, making the dark red more and more reduced, and the bleak white light emitted by the skeleton also weakened, Zheng Yan did not hesitate, quickly swept off the roof and rushed to Yu Xiuxian, who fell to the ground, the skeleton raised his hand and slowly pulled out the long sword that pierced into the chest, Zheng Yan picked up Yu Xiuxian and was about to carry Deng Xingjian, and found the skeleton's movement, the ghost made a god to throw Deng Xingjian behind, and went straight to the skeleton with his strength, and kicked back the long sword that was about to be pulled out。

Just as he was about to take a breath, Yu Xiuxian beside him hurriedly reminded that the dagger that had fallen to the side had bounced up and shot towards him, and he didn't have time to think about it and retreat quickly, seeing that the dagger with blue fire was about to pierce into the center of his eyebrows, Yu Xiuxian raised his hand and released a light blue light shield, the dagger was slightly delayed, and suddenly flew back to the skeleton.

"Run! It's the Xuanyin Bone King."
