Chapter 91: Killing Evil Spirits in the Silent Night
Of course, Zhao Huang knew that after he came to the Jinding Division, he was afraid that he had fallen into all kinds of open and secret battles, but he didn't expect that he would be assassinated, and he would actually be involved in the arrest department to sweep the ghost market.
The carriage galloped out of town until it was dark and stopped near a deserted town.
"This is it?" Zhao Xiao stepped out of the carriage and released three paper cranes into the sky, and found that there was a river crossing not far away, and several lanterns were hanging high and swinging lightly.
"You're here?"
Jiang Ru didn't answer yet, and in the street stall on the side, the young-looking Liang Tao changed into a brocade robe and arrow sleeves, not the fairy style of the purple robe and jade crown in the past, but like the son of the beautiful world. I saw Liang Tao sitting on a stool, holding a pottery bowl and shaking it gently, looking at the corner of his mouth with a smile.
"Don't stand, the boat hasn't arrived yet, sit down and have a couple of bowls of bar." Liang Tao's tone was not sharp.
Zhao Xiao's movements stiffened, and he saw Jiang Ru sitting at the table very well-behaved, so he stepped forward and didn't sit down, and he didn't know what to say.
"What do the two guest officers want?" At this time, the stall owner stepped forward and asked.
"Just like him." Zhao Xiao replied casually, and then took out a piece of broken silver: "No need to look for it." ”
The stall owner whispered his thanks, and after a while, he brought two bowls of warm sweet wine, and Zhao Xiao sat opposite Liang Tao without saying a word.
"Drink it while it's hot, the flavor of Jiangmi in this area is unique, and the mash made can be called jade liquor." Liang Tao said.
Zhao Xiao secretly pinched the trick, gathered his voice, and said: "Does Liang Guoshi also like this kind of market snack?" I also thought that the respect of the national teacher would not eat pears without fire dates, and I would not drink if it was not made with elixir. ”
Jiang Ru glanced up at Zhao Xiao and did not speak. Liang Tao put down the pottery bowl and said with a smile: "Who do you think of me?" Even if you are successful in cultivating immortals and eating gas, it is not that you can't taste ordinary delicacies. ”
Zhao Xiao looked down at the wine, it was turbid and the rice dregs were floating, he took a sip and chewed it.
"How?" Liang Tao asked.
"It's unremarkable." Zhao Xiao replied.
Liang Tao shook his head and said, "How long have you been in Dongshengdu?" Got the taste out of it so quickly? ”
Zhao Xiao asked rhetorically: "It's just ordinary food, do you want me to praise it against my will?" ”
"You are a very clever person, and you are very shallow where you are shallow." Liang Tao commented.
"This doesn't bother the national teacher." Zhao Huang asked: "It's just that I don't understand, why can the national teacher determine that the Ghost City Demon Evil Society will pass here?" ”
"The Daming Treasure Mirror Cave shines on the demonic atmosphere, and this generation naturally has nothing to hide." Liang Tao is confident and calm.
Zhao Xiao nodded slightly, and then said, "In this case, Liang Guoshi must have known that there was a ghost market near Dongsheng Capital where demons and evil gathered?" ”
"Not bad."
"Then why didn't you expose the sweep sooner?" Zhao Xiao asked.
Liang Tao gently shook the pottery bowl, the bowl was turbid, and then pointed to the bowl of wine in front of Jiang Ru that was calm and clear: "Can you see it?" ”
"The national teacher might as well speak more clearly." Zhao Xiao said with a straight face.
Liang Tao was not angry: "A place like the ghost market is indeed easy to provoke the gathering of demons and evils, but if you sweep it rashly, it is just a dirty place, and the demons and evil in it will flee when they hear the wind, and it will be difficult to find them in all directions, which will only be more disadvantageous." It is better to stay in the ghost market and have a fixed destination, so that it is convenient to grasp the every move of these demons. ”
"I see, isn't it just a manure pit in the countryside?" Zhao Xiao said coldly: "In order to prevent the manure from flowing turbulently, we must dig a pit and dispose of it. ”
Jiang Ru couldn't help frowning when she heard this, but Liang Tao laughed: "Zhao Xiao, do you have to use this metaphor?" ”
Zhao Xiao sighed softly: "No, the collection of manure and water in the countryside is still useful for fertile soil and growing grains and vegetables, and the ghost market and evil spirits have all kinds of harm but no benefit." What can be done by the National Teacher, do you have to wait until the situation is difficult to clean up? ”
"The difference between interests and disadvantages depends on where you stand. For the same thing, different positions have different interests and disadvantages. Liang Tao said: "You should also give up that childish thought, I let the ghost market exist, naturally I have my intentions." ”
"Yes, big people always have their own ideas, and I can't guess." Zhao Xiao said.
Liang Tao didn't argue, and said as if expected: "They are about to land." ”
Zhao Xiao closed his eyes and looked down on the river with paper cranes in the sky, but he didn't see any foreign ships. The paper crane cruised for a long time, but saw a faint navigation track on the surface of the river, but did not see the boat.
"They used illusions to cover up the ships so that mortals could not see them, so that they could leave Dongshengdu." Liang Tao reminded: "This town has a place for them to stay. ”
Zhao Xiao opened his eyes and asked, "Isn't the National Teacher going to make a move?" ”
"You prepared early, so why should I interfere?" Liang Tao said in one word.
Zhao Xiao stood up, stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the ferry outside the town. Jiang Ru watched Zhao Huang leave, and asked in a low voice: "Shouzao, will you let him go alone?" ”
"You want to help?" Liang Tao asked indifferently.
Jiang Ru hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I just think that the first seat seems to value Zhao Xiao, and if he is slightly injured, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
"Even if it's a little damaged, it doesn't matter." Liang Tao was calm: "Not only Qing Luoyi, but also you look down on Zhao Xiao." Now that he has condensed the Xuanzhu, if it comes to cultivating mana, few of those rats in the ghost city are his opponents. ”
Jiang Ru was slightly shocked when he heard this, and Liang Tao continued: "It's a pity that Zhao Xiao was tamed by Zhang Duanjing so that he had no opinions and lacked fire, so I might as well add a handful of firewood." ”
……
The Qingluo Yishe boat landed on the shore, and there was a sound of beating in the town in the distance, and there were no pedestrians near the ferry.
"What a mess!" Qingluo Yihua added a little annoyance to her face: "Not to mention the revelation of the matter, I have to give up the industry that I have been operating for many years!" ”
The Lan Musk girl beside her said: "Sister, don't be angry, this time we missed and let Zhao Xiao escape." ”
"It's not that I missed, but that I was deceived!" Qing Luoyi's willow eyebrows were angry: "Jiang Ru, that cheap maid, lied that Zhao Xiao's cultivation was shallow, but in the face of the siege of so many of you, not only can you escape from the Jackpot Pavilion, but there are also people outside to respond!" If all this is pure coincidence, I categorically do not believe it. ”
Lan Musk said: "This time, the reaction of the Huaxu Imperial Court was too fast, and the Arrest Division rushed into Longzangpu that night and searched on a large scale, and several leading stores in the ghost market were destroyed. Didn't you come for us? ”
"It's hard to say." Qing Luoyi reminded: "Let's take a short rest here first, and after avoiding the limelight, continue to the south, and return to Jiuli Country is the best policy!" ”
"Someone!"
At this moment, the wolf-headed monster who had just landed on the shore let out a low cry, he was wearing a cloak to hide his face, but his hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife, looking at a vague figure that was gradually approaching.
Qing Luoyi reminded: "Don't make a noise, maybe it's just a passerby." ”
"Not a passerby!" The wolf-headed monster's dark green eyes stared at the entrance of the street, and he saw Zhao Huang slowly stepping out, his figure illuminated by the lantern at the ferry, and his expression was cold.
"Zhao Xiao!" Lan Musk exclaimed, "Why is he here?" ”
Qing Luoyi was very suspicious, but dealing with all kinds of demons and evil all the year round made her practice a superb ability to deal with people, and immediately stepped forward to bow down:
"The little woman is delicate, and she never wanted to meet Deacon Zhao here. Offended the honorable driver before, and begged Deacon Zhao to give the little girl a chance to prove her innocence. ”
Zhao Xiao glanced at Qing Luoyi and said, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to set up a bureau to kill me?" ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm going to wander around the rivers and lakes, and in order to make a living, it is inevitable that we will commit adultery." Qing Luoyi explained: "Previously, Zheng Tunan found the little girl, saying that he wanted to take revenge on Deacon Zhao, and he did not hesitate to invite masters. When the little woman saw that her eyes were open, she was confused for a while, and she accepted it without thinking. ”
"Zheng Tunan paid you to help?" Zhao Huang asked: "But why did he die in Longzangpu?" ”
Qing Luoyi sighed lightly: "When we see that the situation is not successful, we know that we have caused a monstrous disaster." Zheng Tunan was incompetent and forcibly chased and killed, but the little woman couldn't bear it anymore and took this person's life. ”
"Then why are you running away?" Zhao Huang asked again: "Zhuzhu Tower, Jibao Pavilion, so many industries, you just gave it up?" ”
"Deacon Zhao laughed, how can we not escape?" Qing Luoyi bowed down and bowed: "The little woman knows that she has made a big mistake, and she doesn't ask Deacon Zhao to forgive me, but she is willing to be a slave and a maid from now on, and be loyal to Deacon Zhao." ”
"Oh, that's it......"
While Zhao Xiao was pondering, Qing Luoyi seized the opportunity, got up and raised his hand to raise a flying needle, all of which hit Zhao Xiao's head and face.
Just when Qing Luoyi was happy, he saw Zhao Xiao's body turn into a golden light and disintegrate and drift away, the fine needle fell to the ground silently, the tiger roared in the air, and a black tiger rushed out of the shadows.
"Cunning!" Qing Luoyi raised his eyebrows lightly, raised his hand and sent out countless flying needles.
But the flying needle collided with the true form of the Divine Tiger, like a drop of rain, blowing up a little Venus, and it could not stop its offensive in the slightest. The true form of the Divine Tiger was as fast as the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Qing Luoyi, took a big mouth, and directly bit her shoulder.
The sharp teeth were like swords, but there was no blood light bursting out, Qingluo's body twisted, and the whole person took off his light clothes without slipping. When he landed again, he saw Qing Luoyi wearing a close-fitting snake-patterned soft armor, holding a crescent dagger in each hand, and under the dim light, it seemed like a bewitching poisonous snake turning into a human form.
"The basilisk?" Zhao Xiao's voice came out of the darkness, and he was nowhere to be seen.
Qing Luoyi didn't answer, and asked the wolf-headed monster who pulled out a broad-bladed long knife to the side, "Can you find him?" ”
The wolf-headed monster twitched his nose, licked his teeth with his tongue, and said in a low voice: "I smell it, a smell of pills!" ”
"Everyone's spirited!" Qing Luoyi shouted to his subordinates on the left and right: "Only by killing Zhao Huang can we escape." Just take his head and return to China to ask for credit! ”
Zhao Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, saw that Qing Luoyi had changed into a brothel Oiran and was weak and generous, and at this moment she turned out to be a female general who was about to transfer troops, and listening to what she said, she was obviously not from Hua Xu Kingdom.
When Zhao Huang was thinking, several monks immediately shot out one after another, summoning vines from the ground to entangle the true form of the Divine Tiger, and the wolf-headed monster dragged a long knife in his hand, lifted his cloak, and ran wildly with his legs, like a wild wolf hunting in the mountains and forests, and rushed straight to Zhao Huang.
The wolf-headed monster can not only smell his own scent, but also be able to see things at night, Zhao Xiao looked at him with four eyes, watching him fly and jump, and the broad-bladed long knife slashed down angrily with the momentum of opening the mountain!
"Have you ever thought about ......"
Zhao Xiao opened his mouth to speak expressionlessly, and at this moment, the long knife slashed heavily on his shoulder, stirring up dust on the ground.
But the wolf-headed monster saw that Zhao Huang did not move at all, which was enough to kill the rhino elephant and cut the iron and stone with a knife, but he didn't even split the fabric of the other party's clothes, and was blocked by a layer of five-colored brilliance.
“…… Did I deliberately lure you closer? ”
Zhao Xiao said the second half of the sentence, and the wolf-headed monster was very afraid in his heart, and the electric light flickered around his feet, and then a dense electric light covered the wolf-headed monster like a net. The power of thunder invaded the seven meridians, causing the strange man's eyes to burst and his body to be bruised.
"It's a tough body." Zhao Xiao glanced at the wolf-headed monster, he was still alive, but he fainted and knelt on the ground, so he made up a forbidden charm.
In the distance, Qing Luoyi was about to follow the wolf-headed monster to kill, but when he saw him defeated in an instant, he was horrified, but he couldn't care too much, and took a few of his subordinates to attack Zhao Xiao.
Lan Musk waved his fan to attract a large smoke miasma as a cover, and Zhao Xiao threw out a clay pot with his hand, directly exploding a water mist with rippling spiritual light, forcing the stinging smoke miasma away.
"Jiuli Kingdom's miasma? I expected it a long time ago. Before Zhao Xiao's words were finished, he shook out the void point of the Qingxuan pen, and the mist in the air immediately turned into frost arrows and ice cubes, shooting everywhere.
Qing Luoyi and the others landed one after another, either dodging or casting spells to resist. However, more than a dozen spells on the ground that were covered by the thin soil were instantly activated, and the gold and earth were mixed and surging, condensing into sharp stalagmites, dense like a forest, and suddenly breaking through the ground and stabbing out!
Most of these demon monks couldn't react, and they were instantly pierced through their bodies by stalagmites, and they were hung up like meat skewers, letting out terrifying screams.
Qing Luoyi's cultivation is slightly higher, and his body is ghostly, although he avoided the stalagmites that broke the ground, he saw that his companions were severely injured and died, his face changed drastically, and he no longer had the will to fight in his heart, so he immediately chose to turn around and flee.
"Definitely!"
Zhao Xiao raised his palm and drank, and Qing Luoyi was bound by qi prohibition and fell to the ground. She was about to get out of trouble, and several slender silk threads flew out from between Zhao Xiao's fingers, wrapping around her hands and feet. The silk thread is very tough, and Qing Luoyi has been unable to break it when he has activated his true qi mana several times.
Then Qing Luoyi felt a foot on the back of his head, uu reading The power is so great that it is like ramming a foundation, and his head is almost crushed by this foot, and the delicate flowers are buried in the dust, and it is difficult to breathe.
With the help of mighty power, Zhao Xiao easily stepped on Qing Luoyi's head, he looked at a few monks in the distance, facing the true body of the Divine Tiger, all kinds of magic and sword soldiers were completely useless, and he was buried under the fangs and sharp teeth in the blink of an eye.
The fierce battle was over, and in the silence of the night, there was only the faint sound of the lanterns swaying at the ferry, and the low wailing of the stalagmites hanging from them.
Zhao Xiao took a deep breath, and there was a bloody filth around him, he ignored it, and then leaned over and grabbed Qing Luoyi's head, and said: "I, Zhao Xiao, consciously can be regarded as being kind to others, if you really admit your mistakes sincerely, I may be planning to let you go." ”
Qing Luoyi no longer had the previous bearing, and his expression was flustered: "Zhao, Deacon Zhao, I just want to let the little girl live, I am willing to swear with my soul and always be loyal to you." ”
Zhao Xiao shook his head: "No need, since you are related to Jiuli Kingdom, then you will be handed over to Yousi for disposal." ”
After saying this, Zhao Xiao stunned Qing Luoyi with a heavy palm, and then took out a spell to seal the magic power of divine energy.
