Qixia Street, Xunyang Houfu.

Zhao Yan is painting.

It was as if he had fallen into some kind of demonic obstacle.

My mind is full of Aya Shirakawa's figure.

Jiang Wang approached silently.

Looking at the face of Aya Shirakawa on the paper, he said softly, "If a beautiful woman comes uninvited, you can steal the fun." ”

Zhao Yan crumpled the drawing paper into a ball and said: "If you think about it carefully, I really need to thank her, because of her appearance, I boast of my talent and practice painting hard, so that I can achieve today's achievements." ”

Although Jiang Wang once belittled Zhao Yan's paintings, in fact, his paintings were not bad, maybe they were bad before, but because he was not famous and did not want to sell them cheaply, he ended up uncared for.

Zhao Yan may not be a genius, but he is a very hard worker.

Jiang Wang didn't bother Zhao Yan anymore.

What he cared about most at the moment was still the stone statue.

He had to find a suitable target as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is no more suitable one than Shirakawa Aya in Huncheng at present.

For this reason, Jiang Wang had a headache.

He suddenly missed Cai Tanggu a little.

I really hope that Cai Tanggu will take revenge with stronger helpers again.

And Cai Tanggu, who is two thousand miles away, also has a headache.

They followed Miss Pei around in circles, and sometimes even walked the same road several times, and every time they asked, Miss Pei said that the people of the mountains and rivers were cautious and could not let go of any clues.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all monks, it would have been easy to travel thousands of miles a day, otherwise they would have died long ago.

Dong Chongyang opened his mouth and said: "I have also heard in the rivers and lakes that the Shanze tribes, they have always been elusive, and no one has really seen the faces of the important members of Shanze, so the search may have no effect." ”

Cai Tanggu also said: "The people of Shanze are wandering around the world, grabbing resources, causing trouble everywhere, as if they don't take the court in their eyes, those who are gradually leaving still have a bottom line, and the people of Shanze are all crazy, and they must not be treated with common sense, we are going to Huncheng, and there is a lot of delay, why don't we put the affairs of the Shanze people first?" ”

He felt that Miss Pei should have a hard time agreeing, and was ready to compromise.

But I didn't expect Miss Pei to answer very naturally: "That's fine." ”

Cai Tanggu's face was full of astonishment.

I always feel like something weird?

Miss Pei agreed to go to Huncheng, which was a good thing, Cai Tanggu was worried that she would change her mind again, so she rushed ahead as soon as possible and headed in the direction of Huncheng.

......

Chunyi Pavilion.

Shirakawa Aya pillowed his head on his arm, lying on the table, thinking back to the picture of Zhao Yan leaving in grief and anger, although he used the identity of the demon as an excuse, but thinking of the scene where Zhao Yan tore the talisman, he should have known that he was a demon a long time ago.

What went wrong?

Am I not pretty enough?

But it should be difficult to find a more handsome girl than me in Huncheng.

Aya Shirakawa is confident.

There was a knock on the door.

The maid's voice came from outside the door, "Lady, the scholar is here again." ”

Shirakawa Aya ignored it, thinking that the maid would be able to send people away with her own understanding.

There was no movement outside the door.

But soon the maid's voice sounded again, "Lady, there is a one-armed painter who has no silver, so he has to break into the third floor and ask to see you by name, and someone in the museum has already carried a stick to beat him." ”

She also wanted to join in the fun.

As a result, the door was slammed open, only to feel a black shadow flash, and the maid was stunned in place.

In front of the stairs leading to the three-story building, Zhao Yan had a dark face.

said that Jiang Wang wanted to help him pay for the music to listen to the music, but something happened halfway, so naturally he didn't pay the bill.

Zhao Yan went and returned, making people arrested, his savings were directly emptied, and if he wanted to go up to three floors, he needed to pay more money, which made it difficult for him.

The scholar who wanted to help Shirakawa Aya redeem himself was instead persuading Zhao Yan, "Brother Tai, don't make trouble in the Chunyi Pavilion, people are backed by Tao Tianshi, and Tao Tianshi is the life-saving benefactor of the town guard, and he annoys the Chunyi Pavilion but can't eat and walk around." ”

Seeing that the people from the Chunyi Pavilion had already come with sticks, he hurriedly said: "I can't hide it, I have scraped together enough money to redeem the white girl, and the white girl is in love with me, she is very eager for me to help her redeem herself, and she can't wait to marry me." ”

He smiled and patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder, and said, "Therefore, brother Tai should not covet the white girl again, and find another beauty." ”

Zhao Yan looked at him blankly.

When I looked up, I saw that Shirakawa Aya was about to jump directly from the third floor, but in fact, her body was already in mid-air, but she quickly fell back to the stairs and walked down.

The scholar also noticed Shirakawa Aya closely, but he didn't see the picture of him vacating the air, he was just very happy, and worried: "You are not feeling well, why did you come downstairs?" ”

Because the maid refused on the pretext, he was about to ask Lang Zhong to redeem the white girl and take care of him at home, but even though he endured the discomfort, the white girl was still eager to see him.

But Shirakawa Aya didn't even look at him, and walked straight to Zhao Yan.

even did not hesitate to show a trace of demonic spirit, so that the person who had to carry the stick was stunned for a moment and retreated respectfully.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yan realized the problem, he rubbed his hands and said, "This is too powerful." ”

Shirakawa Aya was a little nervous, but Zhao Yan's reaction was unexpected, she suddenly felt ashamed, and said softly: "Childe, please upstairs." ”

Zhao Yan nodded silently and swaggered upstairs.

The scholar froze in place.

Seeing that Shirakawa Aya was about to go upstairs, he hurriedly said, "White girl, I have scraped together enough money......

Aya Shirakawa said casually, "You keep the flowers." ”

Seeing Shirakawa Aya gently and sweetly supporting Zhao Yan and disappearing around the corner, the reader's face turned pale.

Someone in the seat next to me was talking about something.

"How come that girl has never seen it? In terms of appearance and temperament, it is far better than Oiran, is it a newcomer? ”

"Don't look at any girl, the earthquake at three o'clock is by no means ordinary, the result given by the town guard is obviously just an excuse, why is there no earthquake elsewhere, but only Chunyi Pavilion?"

"Speaking of which, I do remember one thing."

"There is a handsome boy who threatened to come to Chunyi Pavilion to kill demons, and it didn't take long for Chunyi Pavilion to have an accident, there won't really be a demon here, right?"

"Don't scare me, I don't dare to stay here all night!"

"The girl is precious, and the price of life is higher, after eating this meal, let's leave."

"If it is a peak and valley, both can be thrown, you are cowards, if there is really a demon, the town guard mansion has already closed the Chunyi Pavilion, today I am in charge, no return!"

The scholar looked at the people who spoke, and he had heard about the accident in the Chunyi Pavilion, but because he was making up money, when he learned about it, the matter had already subsided, but this was not the point.

He said with a pale face: "The white girl has always been in the Chunyi Pavilion, how could you not have seen it?" ”

......

Chunyi Pavilion, in a three-story building.

Shirakawa Aya is very reserved and keeps a certain distance from Zhao Yan.

But her eyes are not reserved at all, which can be described as charming.

Zhao Yan looked like a righteous gentleman, poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "My arm died because of you, and my skill flourished because of you, the two offset each other, and that's it." ”

Shirakawa Aya said abruptly: "You want to get rid of me?" ”

Zhao Yan said: "No, I came this time because I was suddenly inspired to paint a picture for the girl. ”

Aya Shirakawa was puzzled, "Drawing? ”

Zhao Yan said: "I have seen the change of the Oiran in the Chunyi Pavilion, such as a flash in the pan, it is difficult to last long, although there are small fish better than the Oiran I have seen, but she is young, and finally lacks some meaning, and I saw Miss Shu, very fierce...... I have to see the white girl today, and I have a relationship, the most important thing is a touch of white moonlight in my heart, and I think the girl will definitely not refuse. ”

Shirakawa Aya's face changed slightly, and she said, "You came to me just to paint a portrait of me?" ”

Zhao Yan said sincerely: "The girl has been with me for a long time, and I know best that I am obsessed with painting, and that story is really difficult for me to accept for a while, but I am broad-minded, and I will never put it in my heart when I encounter problems, but I only paint, which is really itchy." ”

Shirakawa Aya forced a smile and said, "Are you worried about my demon identity?" Or, even if I'm not a youkai, you don't look down on me? ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "I can see it, I can naturally look at it, otherwise how can I want to paint a portrait of you, after all, you know very well, I am very demanding." ”

The previous sentence made Shirakawa Aya very happy, but as soon as the latter words came out, her expression suddenly froze.

She stared at Zhao Yan with a resentful face.

Zhao Yan exclaimed: "The girl's expression is absolutely beautiful! Please hold on, I'm painting soon! ”

He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone directly from his arms, spread the paper on the table, and studied the ink frantically.

Aya Shirakawa: (ó_ò.) )

Zhao Yan said eagerly: "Girl, hold on, I'll be fast!" ”

Due to the accident, although there are still guests stranded in the Chunyi Pavilion, they are relatively quiet, and the three floors are covered by a gauze curtain with talismans, but they are not soundproof.

Zhao Yan's voice was very clear.

The expressions of the like-minded people are strange.

The reader's face turned pale.

......

It's late at night.

In Xicheng Lane.

Tao Tianshi was fascinated by the study of "The Complete Array of Talismans", and had witnessed Xiao Shinian's performance, but when he really understood the tip of the iceberg, he was even more shocked.

The "Encyclopedia of Array Talismans" given by Xiao Shinian recorded the knowledge to reconstruct his worldview.

He didn't expect the talisman to be so useful?

In fact, the content inside, the talisman is only an auxiliary, and the most important thing is the array.

The entire courtyard was full of broken rune paper, which were all failures, but Tao Tianshi vaguely felt that he would soon be able to get a first glimpse of the door.

While he was engrossed in continuing to draw the talisman, there was a knock on the door.

He was so frightened that he almost went into cardiac arrest.

"Which one was cut a thousand times!"

Tao Tianshi had a monstrous anger.

He slammed the door open.

In front of him was a man dressed in a black robe, as if hidden in the darkness.

Tao Tianshi was in a trance because of this.

The black-robed man walked straight into the courtyard, looked at the scene in front of him, and chuckled, "You are indeed working hard as always. ”

Tao Tianshi reacted, hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the "Array Talisman Daquan" into his arms, then turned to look at the black-robed man, frowned and said, "Why are you here again?" ”

The black-robed man smiled, "What are you hiding?" ”

Tao Tianshi said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you. ”

The black-robed man didn't care, thinking that the surname Tao could have any treasures, even if there were, in his vision, it was at most an ordinary thing.

"I am fortunate to see the true face of Master Zhang, I have a great opportunity, over time, I will definitely be able to achieve something, and even serve in the Qingxuan Bureau, when you and I studied the talisman together, I also intended to promote you, why are you so hostile to me?"

Tao Tianshi said in a deep voice: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, you are no longer the same person you used to be, and I am not the same person I used to be, I can only understand your kindness, and I will never want to be with you in the future." ”

The black-robed man looked at the hall and chuckled, "I refuse, but what about the spirits in the house?" Demons are a scourge in the world, using their lives to strengthen their bodies, the same is justice, is it so difficult to admit that people are the same as me? ”

Tao Tianshi said ashamedly: "On the way to pursue the Fu Dao, I have indeed gone astray. ”

When the words fell, his expression became serious, "But I have decided to find another way, and I have never harmed the demon life, and the so-called justice in your mouth regards human life as a mustard, and extreme justice is evil, you use the people to verify the talisman and make them miserable, what kind of justice is this!" ”

The black-robed man shrugged his shoulders and said, "They are already terminally ill, or they are tired of life, I help them to liberate, and I can use this to perfect the talisman, it can be said that everyone is happy, I have not forced a person, how can this not be justice?" ”

Tao Tianshi looked at him and said: "Except in front of me, you are afraid that you will not dare to say these words at will, if Zhang Lao Tianshi knows about this, what you get is not chance, deceive the world, and deceive yourself, the surname Fan, you are really ridiculous." ”

The black-robed man frowned and said: "But I am far superior to you in the way of drawing talismans, you and I have the same ideals, I have become a real heavenly master, and you are still crawling outside the threshold, this is the truth." ”

Tao Tianshi sneered, "Is that really the case? If you have the ability, compare it with me. ”

The black-robed man said unexpectedly, "Do you want to compete with me?" Brother Tao, Brother Tao, when did you become so impulsive? I know it's impossible to win against me, so why bother. ”

Tao Tianshi said: "I have a talisman that can break the boundary between heaven and man, no matter what you do, I can follow it." ”

The black-robed man raised his eyebrows and said, "I went to Huncheng ten and a half years ago, and I took the time to see you at that time, and you were very reluctant to deal with the most ordinary dragons, where did you get your confidence?" Don't be pretentious, you have to make me laugh at you afterwards. ”

Tao Tianshi said lightly: "If you lose, you are my grandson." ”

Man in the black robe: "......"

So if I lose, it's your grandson, or if you lose, I'm your grandson?

Isn't that what that means?

The popularity of the black robe was rapidly ruined.

He looked at Tao Tianshi coldly and said, "It seems that you are going to go your own way, or okay, if I lose, I will never step into Huncheng half a step again, and fulfill your idea of parting ways with me, but if you lose......"

Tao Tianshi said: "I can't lose. ”

The black-robed man choked for a moment, the Tao Heavenly Master at this time was indeed different from the past, but just thinking that his brain was bad and he only knew a little bit of fur, he wanted to be better than the real beginner Heavenly Master, it was simply wishful thinking!

Without saying any more nonsense, the black-robed man waved his hand and threw out a talisman.

The whole courtyard is full of light.

The spirits in the hall screamed.

Tao Tianshi took out a talisman from his bosom and said at the same time: "You have to use all your abilities, otherwise you will have no chance." ”

The black-robed man said in a deep voice: "Why do you need to be like this to win! ”

Tao Tianshi smiled slightly, pinched the talisman lightly, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the Qi between heaven and earth instantly condensed in the talisman, and the talisman of the black-robed man directly turned into powder, and the screams of the dragon monster also stopped.

"What......!?" The black-robed man was shocked, and he threw the talisman again in a panic, but it was all thunder and rain, and in the face of Tao Tianshi's talisman, it was useless, and it was all waste paper.

Tao Tianshi received the talisman in time, and because of the existence of the formation pattern, the wall-breaking rune that could only be used once could be used repeatedly before the formation pattern dissipated.

A talisman with a similar effect is also only a Liujia Divine Rune, which can resist the full force of the peak monks of the Cave Netherworld Realm six times, and this talisman can only be drawn by Zhang Tianshi in the Sui Kingdom.

"How so?!" The black-robed man gasped for breath quickly, unable to believe the scene in front of him.

Tao Tianshi said: "To draw talismans, you need to be quiet, meditate, to pay full attention, get rid of distracting thoughts, but also to be sincere, you are in a hurry, your mind is complicated, even if you are lucky to find the way out, but it is only inferior." ”

"My generation respects Zhang Tianshi, I want you to see the true face of the Heavenly Master, but I never believe that the Heavenly Master will give you a chance, because I know you best, and there are many lies, and people like you are a shame in the Heavenly Master world."

"Xing is that you can see the Heavenly Master from afar, but the Heavenly Master can't see you, just take the shit luck, meet the face of the Heavenly Master, and have an epiphany, but such good luck, I'm afraid it is only once in a lifetime."

The black-robed man's face was extremely ugly.

It was true that he had only met with Zhang Tianshi, and in fact, he couldn't be sure if Zhang Tianshi had noticed him.

But Zhang Tianshi is the pinnacle of the way of drawing talismans, and he has an extraordinary temperament, even if it is just imitation and learning, it is enough for a novice who has not yet entered the path to use it for a lifetime.

He admits that he relied on luck, but he firmly believes that he is a late bloomer, and he has made unimaginable efforts for this, how could he lose to the Waste Wood Tao Heavenly Master!

What's more, he did have another chance, but it didn't come from Zhang Tianshi.

"Wall-Breaking Rune......" The black-robed man had a gloomy face and said sharply: "How can you draw a Wall-Breaking Rune!" ”

Tao Tianshi would never admit that this talisman was given by someone, looking at the performance of the black-robed man at the moment, he only felt very happy, and sneered: "Only a person like me, who is sincere and diligent in drawing talismans, can comprehend the superior talisman." ”

The black-robed man clenched his cuffs, he had an epiphany because he saw Zhang Tianshi's respectful face, he really got started, but it was only an entry, it was nothing more than being more comfortable with the simplest talismans, and he was not yet qualified to draw powerful talismans.

But due to some kind of chance, he hid several runes in his cuffs, but he had already wasted a few, even if he had the intention to take them out and hit Tao Tianshi's face at this moment, he didn't want to abuse them again.

He could only endure his grievances, thinking that he would wait a little longer, until he caught that monster, and when he figured out the way of the rune, he would not fall into the dilemma of using one less rune.

"Looks like I'm underestimating you." The black-robed man said: "I am willing to lose the bet, and when I finish my work, I will not step into Huncheng again!" ”

In fact, he didn't think about keeping his promise at all, it was just a delaying tactic, he wanted to show his superiority in front of Tao Tianshi, but he was shown back, and this tone naturally had to be returned.
