Volume 1 Flowers, Birds, Fish, and Insects Chapter 23 The Smell of Zhongli's Wine

As soon as the hammer was struck, it was about to smash the dog's paws on his shoulder, and a gentle inner breath came, and Tie Lingshuang was like two demons in the air, unable to move.

stared at the people around him viciously, gritted his teeth, and said coldly,

"Let go of me!"

The boss was bullied, and Qi Chen, who had the foresight, naturally couldn't let go of that person, regardless of Hong Lian's hand to stop him, he rushed forward, and with a shake of his long sword, he stabbed the man's arm on Tie Lingshuang's shoulder.

"Huh"

The man laughed and said nothing, Zhang Tie flashed out, stretched out his hand to hold the long sword, shook his head as if he smiled bitterly, and said softly,

"Don't put away the sword yet. ”

didn't dare to be presumptuous, knowing that he had offended the high-ranking officials in the hidden guard, he quickly put away his sword and bowed his head, followed Zhang Tie, walked behind Tie Lingshuang and stood still, peeking at the man.

More than seven feet tall, well-proportioned figure, cloud-white coarse cloth robe, a palm-sized jade wine jug hanging from his waist, warm and white, with a touch of gold, a faint aroma of wine, osmanthus wine?

Slandering in his heart, his eyes swept to the other side, and there was a three-foot long sword on his waist on that side, the scabbard was dark, and the hilt was also black, and there seemed to be some lines on it, blurred, Qi Chen frowned slightly, glanced at the long knife on Tie Lingshuang's waist, and muttered in his heart, this looks like a pair.

Suppressing his doubts, he raised his head slightly, and was about to take a closer look, when a pair of eyes broke in.

Since I was a child, I have listened to my uncle's repeated comments on people's faces, from the thief's eyebrows, mouse eyes, garlic nose, willow leaves, curved eyebrows, cherry mouths, and dragon eyes and phoenix eyes.

It's over, he patted himself on the shoulder, nodded, and said, yes, yes, Xiaobao, you have a tiger-eyed lion's nose and a fierce face, it's best to cut people with a knife, otherwise you will be cut, listen to your uncle, you still learn martial arts, what sage books to read.

The more I listened, the more I naturally understood.

If a person has a pair of slender phoenix eyes, slightly raised, then if this person has to be in power, looking forward to it, the spirit is flying, the majesty is faint; if it is too fierce, it is like the tigress next to it, the cold light flickers, making people feel cold all over the body.

The person in front of him is a pair of dragon eyes, the corners of the eyes are round like beads, the tails of the eyes are slender, black and white, flowing and fluctuating, similar to the spring day in March, far away like the autumn water of the cold pool, the divine light is faint, with a hint of smile, looking at himself.

The dragon and tiger matched, Qi Chenhu's eyes widened, and he forgot to be afraid, raised his eyes, frowned slightly, and looked like a tigress.

A pair of sword feather eyebrows are warmer than Tie Lingshuang's oblique eyebrows, and they are slightly like swords, and they are three points more heroic in their laziness.

The dragon's nose is plump, straight into the center of the eyebrows, reflecting the slightly convex dragon horn bones on both sides of the forehead, and the antique crown is awe-inspiring.

A few strands of long hair on his sideburns fluttered, and suddenly brought a touch of vicissitudes, the corners of Wen Run's mouth rose, and he nodded at Qi Chen.

came back to his senses, quickly lowered the tiger's head, and secretly wondered, this person must be a child of a family, looking at a kind of leisurely laziness of Wei and Jin celebrities, is it a prince?

But this person is so strange, he looks like he is in his thirties, and he seems to be older, that touch of vicissitudes, there are no decades of red dust bumps, there is absolutely no such feeling.

Retracted his gaze, and also withdrew the left hand that was patted on Tie Lingshuang's shoulder, accustomed to seeing the phoenix's eyes like a sword ruthlessly cutting, and he didn't care, the man turned his head to look at a pair of sword-lifting people and jade holders who seemed to be black and white.

The dragon's eyes fluctuated, looking at the black and white impermanence beside him, and smiled,

"The stars are like paintings on a cold night. ”

The voice is like a person, warm as water, the listener's heart is warm, especially want to bed, a wave of sleepiness hits, Qi Chen suppressed the yawn he wanted to make, quite puzzled, the cold night stars are like paintings? Is this reciting poems? Just wondering to himself, there was a sound of water in his ears again,

"The five immortal sects have been inherited endlessly, the thirty-seventh generation master of the Penglai Immortal Sect, or is it called Peng Xinglai?"

After saying to the air, as if he was thirsty, he picked up the jade wine jug and poured it into a big sip, which was not warm at all, and he was a drunkard.

The thick aroma of wine dispersed, and the black and white figure was five feet beside him, the light and shadow fluctuated, and a figure flashed out, his neck and face were blurred, as if he was covered by water mist, and his hands were also in the clouds.

Dressed in white, the water clouds and cranes perched on the pattern, the green watercolor clouds, the yellow crane and the sycamore, like a living thing, slightly fluctuating.

As soon as this person appeared, a chill rose in Qi Chen's heart, not as cold as Sanjiu, but like the heavy darkness in the secluded hell, he wanted to capture people's souls, shivered, and his sleepiness was gone, so he was on guard.

"The commander of the hidden guard, Zhong Lijiu, has been known for a long time. ”

Men and women, young and old, sometimes hoarse, sometimes clear, plus a blurred face, there is not a trace to be found. Although Tie Lingshuang couldn't move, his mouth could still speak, and it was his anger that sneered,

"People who become immortals, are they all so hide-in-cheek and show their tails, neither men nor women?"

After that, he looked at the person with the jade on his body and smiled contemptuously,

"A jade holder, a dog slave. ”

People with vicious words are often the most hated, and sure enough, immortals are also angry, and the jade bearer did not dare to get angry, but just lowered his head, and the cold eyes of the snake flashed.

It seems that the immortal whose cultivation is Peng Xinglai is a little higher, and he doesn't move in his body, and he asks hoarsely towards the smiling and drinking people,

"You guards don't have rules like this?"

After a sip of wine, he was full of comfort, and Mr. Jiu, who was called a strange name, laughed, put down the wine jug, picked up the long sword at his waist, withdrew his smile, and said lightly,

"It's your business. ”

Looking at the immortal who fluctuated slightly in the water crane cloud suit, he stopped talking nonsense,

"It just so happens that the jade sword is here, so you all stay here. ”

As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly froze, the thunder sounded in the nine heavens, and the clear dragon chant resounded at the foot of Zhong Mountain, Mr. Nine let go, the long sword hung in front of him, his hands were behind him, and the dragon's eyes flashed, looking at Peng Xinglai.

"Hahaha"

Looking up to the sky and smiling, the man raised his hand and made a move, and the half-empty black Jiao Blood Lotus, with dull eyes and no control at all, flew in front of him,

"There is no killing intent, you hidden guard masters have left the capital, only a few of you, it is not good to get out alive. ”

"This immortal will ascend again, mortal people, wait for it. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and the blood lotus turned into a prototype, like the black jiao, there was no sense in his eyes, and a sluggish black jiao and blood lotus rose into the air, the person stood on top of the blood lotus's head, and the person with the sword and jade rode the black jiao, wandering towards the air, and it was really like an immortal.

Staring at his eyes, Tie Lingshuang watched the two black shadows in the sky disappear in an instant, and looked fiercely at Zhong Lijiu, the commander of the hidden guard,

"Coward, let go of me!"

Ignoring him, he reached out and grabbed the long sword in front of him, and the commander of the hidden guard left walked forward, as if wandering, looking at Master Hong Lin standing in the ruins of Yinian Temple, and nodded slightly,

"Zen Master Hong Lone, the matter of the disciples, nine have already known, and please mourn. ”

Master Hong Lin withdrew his magic power, the demon pestle dissipated in a flash, and the tiger lines in the center of his eyebrows flashed, and he also subsided, and saluted Zhongli Jiuheten,

"Amitabha, the old man has no way to do it, and the donor will not pursue it, and the old man is deeply ashamed. ”

Nodding, he stopped talking, turned around, walked slowly along the bluestone path, and watched the turtles in the pool scramble to suddenly crawl to the shore, stretching out their heads and swaying at themselves, smiling slightly.

Turning his head to look at the small pool, there was only an ordinary lotus left, sighed, stretched out his hand, the lotus flew up, floated to his hand, and his fingers tapped the lotus,

"It's not easy to practice, since you still have a trace of spiritual sense, let's continue to cultivate in this pool of thoughts. ”

A trace of water flashed between his fingers, and the petals of the half lotus flower trembled for a while, and the petals that had withered a lot were fuller, and the left commander smiled slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, the lotus flower gently floated into the pool, shook twice, and fell silent again.

As if he had returned home, he glanced around, raised his hand and waved his hand, and the Canglong Crying Blood Spear that was inserted in front of the ruins swept into his hand, looking at the Canglong Crying Blood in his hand, Zhong Lijiu smiled slightly, walked in front of Tie Lingshuang, and saw that her arms were crisscrossed with wounds, the corners of her mouth were bloodstained, a pair of cold phoenix eyes, and a Wandao Murder Sword, after looking at it for several years, it was still fresh,

"See the tiger?"

glared at Zhong Lijiu fiercely,

"Let go of me!"

Haha laughed, the restrictions on Tie Lingshuang's body were released instantly, and just as he wanted to smash it with a hammer, the bastard in front of him flicked his fingers, and a wisp of strong wind swept by, Tie Lingshuang was already suffering from internal and external injuries, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.

Before he fell, the whole person stopped, slowly floated up, floated in mid-air, and floated behind Zhongli Jiu, as if lying on the water, up and down slightly.

Seeing this magical power, Qi Chen was stunned, only to see Zhong Lijiu stretch out his hand, and a bone bird flew over and stopped on his shoulder.

Zhong Lijiu glanced sideways, then turned his head to look at Qi Chen, and smiled slightly,

"How is Jinling City compared to Hangzhou Mansion?"

I didn't know where to put my hands, so I could only scratch my head, pull my mouth, and whisper,

"There are more youkai. ”

Haha smiled, Zhong Lijiu seemed to have seen the good food with wine, raised his head and took a sip of wine, patted Qi Chen's shoulder, and walked out slowly.

There was still a little fire flashing in front of the temple, and Master Hong Lin watched everyone disappear, turned his head to look at the law under his feet, bowed his head and folded his eyebrows, as if he was chanting.

As soon as he came out of the Linggu Heart Temple, a big dog ran over, shook his head and waged his tail at Zhongli Jiu, his teeth were about to fly out, his tongue was sticking out, and he looked flattering.

patted the big dog's head, looked at Zhang Tie, and asked softly,

"Since the creation of the hidden guard, how many magic traces are there within two hundred miles of Jinling?"

Zhang Tie frowned slightly, thought for a moment, nodded back,

"According to the records, a total of 32 demon cards were released, and there were 17 demon traces, and we eliminated eight of them. ”

Nodding, he walked forward slowly, with Tie Lingshuang floating behind him, Zhang Tie followed closely behind, Qi Chen and the big dog followed slowly five feet behind him.

"Other entire provinces, it's just like that, Jinling City, there are so many, eleven, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than 40 years, plus the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty for decades, or there may be more than 30 cases. ”

Whispering, he turned his head to look at Zhang Tie and asked softly,

"More than thirty blood demons, how big of a mountain do you think you can carry?"

Glancing back at Zhong Shan, Zhang Tie shook his head and said softly,

"There are not hundreds, don't want to move Zhongshan, dozens of them, carry a big stone with a radius of twenty zhang, maybe you can. ”

After that, he shook his head slightly,

"After the Thunder Tribulation, although the skill has risen greatly, the general monsters are only the Buddha's Arhats, the highest level of the Daomen Haoran Realm, even if some will have great strength, but it is impossible to fly all the time, to take turns to replace, but also to hunt monsters to feed, without fifty, it is impossible. ”

Smiling lightly, Zhongli Jiu looked sideways at the top of Zhongshan Mountain,

"Twenty zhang, is it worthy of an immortal?"

Wiping the handle of the knife, Zhang Tie raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

The three of them turned out of the foot of the mountain and came to the main road, Zhong Lijiu stopped and said softly,

"Go back and put all the information in Jinling, the magic traces, the demon traces, and the geography of mountains and rivers in my study, let the rouge retreat a little farther, and summon the Suzaku back. ”

Zhang Tie nodded, Zhong Lijiu turned to look at Qi Chen behind him, looking at him carrying a scripture book in his hand, carefully shaking the water, looking anxious, shaking his head slightly,

"Don't worry, the true scripture is not afraid of fire and water, it's late today, you go back first, tomorrow afternoon, come to the Jiming Temple, there is something to tell you." ”

Qi Chen was bending down and nodding, raising his head, and the two of them had disappeared with Tie Lingshuang floating in the air.

With a long breath, he stuffed the "Dizang Sutra" that was still dripping with water into his arms, looked at the big yellow dog staring at him next to him, and wanted to reach out and pat its head, but he didn't want it to turn his head and avoid it, so he couldn't help but curse secretly, even the dog in Jinling couldn't look down on himself, it was really unreasonable.

Turning his head to look at the black Zhong Mountain, it was worthy of being a dragon pan, and there were too many monsters, so he scolded fiercely, and turned his head and walked towards the Qinhuai River.

The big yellow dog couldn't find its owner, so he could only follow behind Qi Chen slowly, one person and one dog, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
