"What the hell is going on?"

When Tao Xiaozhi, Amu, Iron Bucket and Little Squirrel were gathered together, Amu couldn't help but ask.

"That's 。。。。。。。 It's as sour as this orange。。。。。。。。 "The iron bucket gnawed on oranges, which was meaningful.

Everyone looked at him like a child, like a child around an old man with a lot of exciting stories, and couldn't wait to hear it.

Because the orange was too sour, he had to put it down, and then sighed and said: "As Xiao Zhi said, I am not suitable for this kind of 'flying eaves and walking on the wall to steal chickens and dogs'。。。。。。。。 Tonight's failure is the best example of this。。。。。。。。 ”

"When I climbed in through the window of that room, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my toes。。。。。。。。 Fingers. It was eerie, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the bottom of my heart。。。。。。。。 I almost got incontinent!Then I thought about being trapped in this haunted house。。。。。。。。 Then, I don't know which dead cat meowed, and thought it was a terrible ghost's howl, so I jumped several times, and wandered in the darkness for a long time, knocking over almost all the chairs, trying to find the one window in which I had entered, but I opened the other window。。。。。。。。

"When the soft moonlight came in, my heart immediately warmed - I saw a plate of apples on the table!

So, I grabbed one and stuffed it into my mouth。。。。。。 That feeling (someone kicks him awake and doesn't forget to stay away from the subject)。。。。。。。。 Then I put a plate of apples in my mouth (God knows how big his mouth was), who knows。。。。。。。。 Unexpectedly, the switch was turned on, and a 'tiger's mouth' suddenly appeared on the ground。。。。。。。。。。

So, he cleaned up the overturned chair, closed the window (to avoid suspicion), and slipped inside。。。。。。。。 ”

"How did you get through the gatekeeper obstacle?" Tao Xiaozhi really couldn't figure it out.

Iron bucket smiled and took out a slender small bamboo pipe: "Just use this!"

"You knocked them out with bamboo?!" Amu exclaimed, unable to believe it.

"Of course not, it's the incense," said the bucket, "I blew the incense into it with this bamboo, and they fell asleep。。。。。。。。。 ”

This kind of bamboo pipe, commonly used by thieves and assassins, has a small hole on it, puts incense, ignites it, blows at one end of the pipe, and the smoke of incense comes out at the other end, which can be put down inadvertently in an instant.

Maybe the concentration of the incense was not enough, so when Tao Xiaozhi entered, the two guards had already woken up.

The iron bucket was to inquire about the old man who forgot his feelings, and when necessary, the incense tube was still quite effective, so he brought it with him.

"So, I slipped in quietly, and then heard a secret that I shouldn't have heard。。。。。。。。。 ”

"What's the secret?" Amu exclaimed.

"It's about the uprising. "Iron Bucket said, "They plan to revolt and overthrow the Demon Dynasty, I don't know when it will be, but it sounds amazing enough! Led by the owner of the village, Bu Feiyun, he gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, including the lord of the thirty-two towns。。。。。。。。 In what town and what county revolted first, etc., the specific situation is not very clear, but it sounds like they have the strength to defeat several counties in one fell swoop!"

"And then?"

And then 。。。。。。。。 The bucket smiled and touched his stomach and said, "Then, my stomach rang and they found me and grabbed me。。。。。。。。。 ”

His stomach roared like thunder, even the deaf could hear it, and it was very difficult not to be discovered!

"Why don't you listen to your stomach at this time?" Amu laughed and let out a howl like a fart.

Iron Bucket smiled bitterly: "This is all the result of not eating supper。。。。。。。。。 ”

Just then, their porter rang.

"Who?" Tao Xiaozhi shouted outward, watching vigilantly.

"A person who invites you to a late-night snack - the person who has come is of course the owner's wife, or the former owner's wife, because after tonight, she may not be in the waterfall villa.

She brought with her a maid, one with some soft baggage, the other with a large plate of peanuts and beef, and a jar of wine.

She told the maid to put down her things and wait outside the door, while she sat down with them. Her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried, but she had a smile on her face—a smile on her face.

Several people gathered around and didn't speak for a long time, only to hear the occasional "rumble" of the iron bucket's belly.

Then, she filled everyone's glasses with wine, raised her glass and smiled, "Let me be the host of the last round, and I will do it for you!" she said and poured a glass of wine into her mouth.

They had a drink with her, and then she had two more, and it looked like she was going to get herself drunk tonight!

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Are you really leaving?"

She said lightly: "You have to go." ”

"I'm sorry。。。。。。。。 Looking at her, the iron bucket was also very uncomfortable, and even his instinctive appetite was gone, "It's us who have caused you。。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Don't say anything like that!" she laughed, "it's not your fault, you just want to get what belongs to you." Besides, without me by his side, the living blood will make him unsettled, and he will even give up the uprising and get me back。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Anyway, thank you for saving us, please accept us!"

Saying that, Tao Xiaozhi was about to salute, but she immediately stopped: "Don't do this! I'm just you, it's all for your own consideration!"

What good did she do if she saved them? They really couldn't figure it out, but they were too embarrassed to ask.

She continued, "If you want to thank you, just finish this cup with me!"

"Dry !!"

They drank it all.

After a few glasses of wine, they completely put aside the restraints they had just had, and spat out everything that should be said and what should not be said! This is the miraculous effect of alcohol! The first thing to say is the lady of the farmer: "Before I get drunk, I have something to ask you—" Her cheeks had turned crimson, her eyes had become misty, and she could barely grasp the glass, but it was certain that she was not drunk.

The iron bucket patted his chest and said: "What's the matter, even if you tell us, no matter if you go up the knife mountain or go down to the sea of fire, we will go all out!"

She smiled and said, "What I want you to do, it could be dangerous—"

"We owe you our lives, and we'll do it no matter how dangerous it is, but it's okay to say it!"

She drank another glass of wine and whispered, "I want you to steal the Excalibur and fly away, the farther away from the Waterfall Villa, the better!"

Tao Xiaozhi and the others looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed out loud!

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Isn't the purpose of our trip exactly for this?"

"Shh~~~" She looked around vigilantly and said, "The wall has ears, let people hear, you will never get that sword!" Her vigilance showed that she was really not drunk.

Tao Xiaozhi touched his chin and suddenly said, "Why do you want us to steal that sword?"

She didn't answer directly, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Don't you know what kind of sword it is?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I only know that it is called Qilin Fire. ”

"Yes, it's called Qilin Fire, and it's the sword that the Qilin Knight laughs at. Her face suddenly turned blue after drinking, "It is a divine sword, and legend has it that the 'Ghost Iron Craftsman' Oniban was extracted from the fire of the fire of the fire unicorn, calcined steel, and finely beaten, and it lasted almost ten years! Moreover, before it was baked, it was cursed by the onibana, and it became a sword with a soul like the soul of the fire unicorn! At that time, when it was just born, it was given the title of 'Ghost Sword', and its name was scary enough, and its power was even more earth-shattering! But its first owner was not a smile, but the world-famous 'Blood Demon' Evil Yang at that time, and that was about sixty years old。。。。。。。。。 ”

"How does killing the soul compare to the evil sun?" Tao Xiaozhi thought, if you want to control the Qilin Fire, it should be as difficult as driving the Fire Qilin, then this person's martial arts must be very high and unfathomable!

"That's just a little witch ant than an elephant!" said the owner's wife, "Evil Yang is a big devil, the king of demons, even a hundred soul killers are no match for him! The sword of Oni Spot, which was made for him (although it may be under the power of power)! He was already so powerful that the ghosts and gods were crying, and the ghost sword was even more powerful in his hands! At that time, people thought that there was nothing in this world that he could not do, because the world had fallen into his hands— He established the Demon Empire, spanning several great powers: the Demon Domain, the Holy Spirit Source, the Giant Country, and even the Ice Pole, etc., he was the Demon King of the Demon Realm! However, the Demon Empire was only a flash in the pan. His mind doesn't care about such a thing as political power at all, the government is in ruins, internal and external troubles, embattled on all sides, and the newly established Demon Empire immediately collapses, and his mind is only on one thing, and he is happy to do it - hunting!"

"Hunting?!" everyone exclaimed, hunting can also make people indulge?

The owner's wife said: "The object of his hunting is not tigers, deer, white rabbits, wild boars or anything, but mythical beasts, such as fire dragons and fire unicorns!"

Everyone was shocked again, and their minds were completely emptied!

"Of course, he hunted that not to conquer them, to be some kind of bullshit knight. The owner's wife continued, "And purely for the satisfaction and pleasure brought by hunting! So at that time, there were already more than a dozen divine beasts that died under his sword! And those knights of the divine beasts, he did not kill them just to humiliate them! But when he went to kill the fire qilin, he encountered great obstacles: first, the fire qilin had been sleeping for many years at that time, and the knight who had not yet reigned, and he did not know how to summon it; second, the fire qilin was so fierce and abnormal, he didn't know if he had a chance of winning! But whether he killed or was killed, the strong vanity in his heart finally drove him to cut off the head of the fire qilin!

In the case of searching everywhere to no avail, he inadvertently heard that the Fire Qilin would go down to the Flame Mountain every ten years to collect fire, and that year, it was just the tenth year! Finally, he met the Fire Qilin in the Flame Mountain, and a fierce battle between the demon and the divine beast began!

"It is said that the battle came to an end after three days and three nights, and the Fire Qilin almost died under the ghost sword of the evil sun—this sounds quite ironic, a sword with the soul of the Fire Qilin attached to it, actually almost killed the Fire Qilin!

"Xiao Yiyou is already a very powerful character, but there is still a distance between him and the evil sun! However, his righteous spirit, chivalrous spirit, fraternity and tolerance, and a detached state of life are unparalleled! This is what convinces him. He didn't convince the Great Devil Evil Sun, but he convinced the Fire Qilin! The first time they joined forces to deal with the Evil Sun! Their encounter sparked a spark, which made their cooperation very tacit and seamless, which made them defeat the Evil Sun, but did not kill him—it was not the Fire Qilin that killed him, not a smile, but the ghost sword, which betrayed him, 'Righteous Destruction of Relatives'!

"From then on, the fire unicorn and the unicorn fire followed the laughter, and he naturally became the Qilin Knight, and the title also changed from 'Laughing Ranger' to 'Laughing Knight', and began his knightly legend。。。。。。。。。 This is the story of the unicorn fire. ”

Hearing this story made Tao Xiaozhi's blood boil, but when he thought of that sword, he had something to respect and fear—what he was most afraid of was not dying at its hands, but thinking that he didn't deserve it—it was the sword of the great Qilin Knight!

"Now you understand, why did I want you to steal the Qilin Fire?" continued.

Tao Xiaozhi nodded and shook his head again.

The owner's wife said: "Although the Qilin Fire is a terrible sword, it has a soul, and its power is comparable to that of no other weapon! Therefore, since the death of Xiao Yiyou, there are not a few people in the rivers and lakes who covet this sword, and even the current Demon Emperor wants to get it! If it suddenly appears on the rivers and lakes, what kind of effect will it cause? People are in various purposes (want to become a Qilin knight, dominate the martial arts, etc.) in order to compete for it, it will definitely cause a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes。。。。。。。。 If the news of the Qilin Fire hiding in the Waterfall Villa spreads, then the Waterfall Mountain Villa will become the target of public criticism, and how many people will die at that time? Besides, they are planning an uprising, and even this matter will be exposed, and this Waterfall Mountain Villa is very likely to be razed to the ground along with the mountain! That's why I asked you to steal the Qilin Fire, and I know that you came up the mountain for it!"

Her worries were not unfounded, if she left the sword here for too long, it would spread out one day, and then it would be too late to remedy it!

"Who the hell are you, why do you know so much?" Tao Xiaozhi suddenly asked.

A woman in her twenties who lives in the mountains of a waterfall knows so much about Qilin Fire, she is by no means an ordinary person! And how did she know very little about old rivers and lakes like Soul Breaker and Ghost Master? She may not even be born yet, and she is already dead after laughing!

The owner's wife just smiled faintly and said, "I also heard what people said。。。。。。。。。 ”

"Who?" Tao Xiaozhi chased after him, as if someone else owed him a debt!

"It doesn't matter。。。。。。。 ”

"If you want us to steal the Qilin Fire, you have to tell us!"

Faced with Tao Xiaozhi's tough attitude, she suddenly laughed and said, "I'm just a woman, not what you imagined。。。。。。。 ”

"I don't look like it!" Tao Xiaozhi said as he stared at her.

"And what do you think I look like?"

"I think you must have an extraordinary relationship with Ye Tianya-" Tao Xiaozhi said lightly, "Otherwise, how can you do your best to stop this uprising?"

That's right, when she was in the secret cave, she once said, "No one knows Ye Tian Ya better than me", she has nothing to do with Ye Tian Ya, that's a lie!

"I'm not for the night, but my husband!" said the owner's wife, visibly a little angry.

This obviously touched her sensitive nerves, which made people very embarrassed, especially the things that embarrassed the beauties, Tao Xiaozhi never did it, so he didn't ask any questions.

It took a long time for her to calm down and say, "You really want to know who I am?"

"Yes, but you don't have to say-" Tao Xiaozhi said, "I'll take that sword with me too." ”

She sighed and said lightly: "My name is Ye Tianrong, and I am Ye Tianya's sister!"

The excitement present was shocked again, and the thoughts were hollowed out again!

This is simply impossible! After all, Ye Tianya is already a middle-aged person in her fifties, how can she have a sister in her twenties?! And Ye Tianya is a demon, and she looks like an ordinary person no matter how she looks left or right, but she has demon blood flowing on her body!

"But we are half-siblings. Ye Tianrong hurriedly explained.

This becomes very interesting, especially for Ye Tianya: his brother-in-law actually led an army against the rule of the Demon Dynasty!

Ye Tianrong wants to stop this uprising, and there is a valid reason, she may just not want her husband and brother to fight.

"Don't get me wrong-" Ye Tianrong said, "I don't have a good relationship with Ye Tianya, like a stranger, if I can, I really want to kill him with my own hands! And it doesn't matter if his teammates don't have such a sister, except for a little blood connection, we can't be called brothers and sisters at all!"

The relationship between these three people is not complicated, but there are many entanglements between each other, and the mistakes are complicated, and it seems that it is difficult to figure out for a while.

Tao Xiaozhi tried to change the topic and asked some questions that he was curious about: "What is the uprising all about?"

Ye Tianrong's face immediately became very embarrassed, and he said coldly: "The less you know about this matter, the better, even if you know, you have to pretend that you don't understand anything - tonight's incident is as if it never happened! If you go outside and say half a word, they won't let you go!"

"We won't say it, we're afraid of death!" Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile, "Besides, we are serious offenders in the imperial court, and no one may believe it if we say it!"

"That's the best!"

They went through another round of wine.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I have another question: Why do you know that there are so many Qilin Fires?"

Ye Tianrong said: "My father is a dream of the night, and he is a good friend with a smile, all of which are from my father." ”

"It's not too early, and it's time for you to go—and so should I. Ye Tianrong put a piece of paper on the table and said, "This is the mechanism cracking diagram of the secret room, the Qilin Fire is there, you go and steal it now, and then never return to the Waterfall Villa!"

She raised her glass and said, "I wish you all success!"

They also returned their glasses and said, "I wish you a smooth journey!"
