Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 135 The road is narrow
The crowd was in an uproar.
The official kicked the white ape in the back, kicked it to the ground, and said vividly: "This demon Dao colluded with the gibbon saint in a vain attempt to secretly poison and poison the people in the city, and was subdued by the sword immortal friends of the second son of Pan who traveled thousands of miles to subdue, and together with the men of the ape demon, they pressed the government to punish the crime, and I didn't thank the second son of the Pan family!"
The onlookers immediately stared at each other with big eyes and discussions.
The white ape suddenly laughed wildly, and his red eyes oozed bloody tears: "To tell you the truth, my ape saint grandfather is at the time of breaking through the realm, no matter whether the Pan family child goes to assassinate or not, you people are destined to be captured and eaten alive and used for alchemy."
As soon as the words fell, the people watching at the gate of the Ya Ya Mansion in Night City all felt a chill in their hearts.
The crowd rushed up, punched and kicked, and repeated the previous greeting to Pan Gu on Yuan En.
If it weren't for the timely interception of those officials, I'm afraid that even the Taoist who fainted would have died on the spot. The white ape was beaten, buried his face in the ground, and laughed silently. This is Xia Ze's last order to him, if you want to live, do as he says.
A martial artist of the Three Realms, as long as he transports pure true qi, the ordinary people are beaten in turn, no matter how many you have, it is tantamount to a mosquito bite. Now that it has fallen into the hands of others, there is no other way but to be at the mercy of them, and to live for a few days.
However, if he can survive until the end of the war, Yuan En really wants to see who can have the last laugh in his own ancestors and Night City.
Pan Gu looked at the crazy crowd under his nose, walked up to the official, and whispered softly, "What did that young man say after handing over the subdued demon path and ape demon to you?"
"Oh, look at my memory." The official head patted his head, he was really a little carried away, and then replied softly, "Back to my lord, the young man said that he has done what the master ordered, and I hope the adult can also keep his promise."
Pan Gu's expression was a little complicated, and he nodded, letting the official retreat.
How smart the young man was, he must have guessed the fact that Pan Gu had seen through his identity early on.
From the day he was studying, he was taught to "be loyal and righteous, and die to repay the kindness of the country." To this day, he can still say frankly that he is not loyal to glory and wealth, not to steal a living, but to the family and country, and to the people.
Therefore, it is really helpless to make this deal with this young man, it is his parents who are incompetent, and it is he, a martial artist in the four realms, who is powerless.
Pan Gu cleared his throat and folded his sleeves and handed over: "Fellow villagers, the elders of the country, the official has no way to discipline his younger brother, and this is the catastrophe, Pan knows that he is ashamed of his love for the people. But this official has to say that in the past twenty or thirty years, the gibbon saint has repeatedly descended the mountain to capture the women of the people of our city, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, causing the people here to suffer greatly, and if he is here, the people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, so this official has made up his mind to completely eradicate these monsters."
The whispers are endless.
"So far, I won't hide it from you, it is the autumn of the survival of Suye City, this official has already issued a collection order, imploring the great sects on the mountains in the territory of Daqi to come and defend the city together, if they succeed in killing those three demons, the people within a radius of a hundred miles will no longer use those days of fear in the future! There will be no more women who will be separated from their families and lovers!"
This generous statement, in the ears of that group of people, was like the Nine Heavens Xuanthunder, deafening, and many people immediately knelt down and burst into tears.
"Pan is ashamed of you, but please rest assured, after this battle, if you can't win, Pan will never be greedy for life and afraid of death, and will never leave the battlefield alive!"
"If you want to take refuge in the city, Pan will not stop you, but I am afraid that the ape demon will be scheming and set up an ambush in the middle of the road......
"I am willing to die with Lord Pan!"
"Lord Qingtian Shengming!"
"Lord Qingtian Shengming!"
The people bowed down one after another, and they all burst into tears.
On the other side, Xia Ze came to the wine shop alone, and was about to speak, but he didn't want the little second to come up first, but he was a little uneasy.
He smiled and said, "Guest, there was a girl just now,
Said that it was your friend, and said that you should drink your pot of warm wine if you say anything, but the small one is really unbearable, so I have to bring the pot of wine, but the guest officer can rest assured, the small one has already warmed up another pot of wine, so as not to delay the guest officer's important affairs."
Xia Ze smiled, this little two will come to trouble, so he casually handed over the two copper plates, and said, "I'm tired, that girl is the friend I want to see, I don't want to stop and go all the way, so I staggered with her."
Xiao Er took the reward and thanked him repeatedly, in fact, the two pieces of money left by the guest officer, not to mention just drinking three or four pots of wine, even all kinds of big fish and meat can be eaten for two days. However, the reward given by this uncle is not more, no less, and it is in line with the rules, so Xiao Er also enjoys it.
In addition, he was a little curious, what is the relationship between this son and the flying girl, the young man who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, and the girl who has just fallen in love, if it weren't for their similar age to himself, he couldn't help but fantasize about the lingering and fragrant story.
"I'm tired of the shop, and I'll serve a delicious meal." Xia Ze walked into the private room.
Pushing open the door, there was already a drunken girl sitting next to the wine table, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, like a light veil of moon cages, beautiful and incomprehensible.
"You're here." She raised her head and smiled slightly, and when her eyes glanced at the young man's pale face, tears fell down her cheeks.
Xia Ze was a little apprehensive in his heart, but his eyebrows and eyes were upright, and he said, "Miss Lin, it's been a long time."
In fact, next to Lin Luqing, there was another one, that is, the fat ghost who was sent by Xia Ze to get back the incense and aura for Chen Dianxiang, he did his job, so he followed Xia Ze's breath and waited for Xia Ze in this wine shop, not wanting to wait for him to open the door curtain, only to find that there was already a woman sitting here.
She had a bitter face, cup after glass, as if she wanted to borrow wine to drown her sorrows, but when a pot of wine went down, the tears kept falling.
"I think it's the romantic debt owed by the son on the rivers and lakes, I don't know if this person is following his feet, or going for the best plan!
He was just about to run away, but he was scared to the ground by a cold eye from the woman for no reason.
"You are also waiting for him, don't speak, don't make extra movements, or ......."
"It's too late." Lin Luqing wiped away the tears on her face, touched the little and warm wine jug, and smiled awkwardly, "This wine is spicy."
Xia Ze saw that she was covering up, so he also echoed: "The wine here is too muddy, and it is easy to choke people's throats when drinking, Miss Lin should drink slowly."
Lin Luqing pretended to be calm, took a sip of food and a sip of wine, and said, "You talk about you first, don't worry about me, I'll talk about it later."
The ghost was a little unsure of the girl's moody temperament, and asked Xia Ze with his eyes, and the latter nodded.
"Childe didn't know, just now I followed the yin qi emitted by the night city, all the way to the ghost cave in the city, and really let me find the female ghost who stole the little girl's incense, the female ghost united with the ghost of a cave, denied it desperately, and refused to admit that he stole the incense, and the little one used the young master to borrow my flying sword, and even threatened and intimidated, so that they could return it obediently, but when the little one returned to the City God Temple, he found out that ......" The ghost spoke slightly.
Xia Ze's face changed suddenly: "I just found something!"
The ghost was silent: "The little one returned to the City God Temple, and wanted to return the incense aura to the little female ghost, but unexpectedly, a female monk said earlier that it was to resist the siege of the gibbon saint, and said that he would take away the golden body of the city god to improve his cultivation."
"The little boy didn't let him, and was seriously injured by the female monk with Taoism, and he had to use the little girl's soul as a threat, and in the end, the little boy had to exchange the fragments of Shen Yun that he had cultivated himself in exchange to be able to protect the golden body. The little one returned the incense aura to the little girl, and thought of coming to inform the child, but unexpectedly, the little boy thought that we were in the same group as the woman, and drove me out.....
Xia Ze silently picked up the wine glass, poured the cup into his mouth, snapped, crushed the wine glass in his hand, and the powder slipped from the palm of his hand.
The ghost was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he found that under Xia Ze's eyes, there were two red runes shaped like fangs, slowly emerging, and his own momentum was gloomy like a desolate beast in the sea of corpses and blood.
Lin Luqing, put down the chopsticks and wine glass, carefully studied Xia Ze's expression, and stretched out his hand with burning eyes, wanting to touch Xia Ze's face.
Unexpectedly, Xia Ze suddenly raised his head, dissipated his anger, and even the red runes on his face dissipated into invisibility, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, I lost my temper."
Lin Luqing had to hastily withdraw the slender jade finger that stretched out and shook his head.
The ghost reported the cause and effect before and after, got Xia Ze's command, and fled back to the shelter talisman paper, such an occasion, although it was not tense, but if something really happened, it must be a fight between the gods and a disaster.
Xia Ze straightened his mind, lost his previous anger and decadence, picked up the wine glass again, and poured wine into the glass.
"I'm going to apologize to Miss Lin first and punish myself!" Xia Ze looked a little cramped, and even the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and when this cup was drunk, he choked and coughed again and again.
The girl on the opposite side did not speak, holding her cheeks with both hands. The young man in front of her was a little similar to what she remembered, but it didn't seem to be quite like it anymore. Xia Ze doesn't seem to be so dark, and she has lost a lot of weight, she intentionally or unintentionally inspected Xia Ze's qi mansion with the method of inward-looking, and when she saw the mess, she raised her eyebrows.
But he is really good-looking, Lin Luqing's eyes gradually had a smile, and the grievances that were originally inexplicably cut off from the marriage line and came all the way to see him disappeared without a trace. What about the proud woman? Did you marry him later? and the slap he hit him in order to save the girl, which made her linger for a long time......
It's a pity that she's only seen this twice, so she doesn't know much about this fateful person, and after she left, she didn't know what Xia Ze had experienced. Only then did I realize that the original country boy was now a majestic martial artist.
"I'm ashamed, Miss Lin, we've only met twice in total." Xia Ze scratched his head and sighed, "Without discussing with the girl, I privately cut off the marriage line between you and me, it's my fault, and I don't know if Miss Lin will be unhappy.....
Lin Luqing stretched out his hand to the wine glass, paused slightly, and then smiled easily: "It shouldn't be, you can rest assured."
If it was as she said, then why did she weep before?
Xia Ze was not relieved, poured a glass of wine into the glass again, swallowed it in one gulp, his face turned red, but his tone gradually became firm: "Miss Lin is a good girl, so I don't want to chill Miss Lin's heart, I only leave a small part of the luck on the marriage line to myself, and leave all the rest to Miss Lin."
When Xia Ze said the first sentence, Lin Luqing couldn't listen to it, and said angrily: "Do you know that it is because you cut off this marriage line privately that you will encounter great disasters and be smashed by others. I, Lin Luqing, am not a stingy person, you are just greedy, and you leave most of your luck, and I won't blame you. I'm afraid that the hardships you will suffer in the future will only be more, don't you regret it?"
"No regrets." Xia Ze replied firmly.
Lin Lu slapped the table with a clear face, her face flushed, and the young man opposite had a clear conscience, which made it even more difficult for her to calm down.
"It's for the girl who fought me in Yunxi Town?"
Xia Ze was stunned, and then his tone was rare and tough, with only four words: "No comment."
Lin Luqing rolled her eyes, no matter how well he hid it, the tenderness in her eyes at that moment couldn't be hidden, so she changed her tone and asked, "Love in the world, is it really so good?" It's worth it that you can give up even the great opportunity, do you know, if the marriage line between you and me is not broken, over time, your achievements will be at least Taiyi Realm."
Xia Ze, who was on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as if he had finally unloaded his burden, which made Lin Luqing a little angry, and he was even more confused.
"Miss Lin, now I can finally be sure that you and I can't get along," Xia Ze smiled brightly, "What the girl is looking for is the Great Dao, and people say that the Great Dao runs, and the sun and the moon run. The girl doesn't like me if she thinks about it, will it be that no matter who it is, as long as the marriage line is in line with Miss Lin's avenue, then Miss Lin will not complain?"
These words sounded a little harsh, and Lin Lu cleared his face
couldn't help but float a layer of frost on it, staring at Xia Ze's eyes and smiling, "So what?"
Xia Ze didn't evade it at all, and suddenly smiled, "But I don't want to, what Miss Lin wants, will it be just a Taoist companion who will go to the avenue with you?"
The woman opposite was momentarily angry and speechless.
When he finished pouring the last bit of wine in the wine jug, there was no longer Lin Luqing in his eyes, as if he was looking at the distant mountains and the sea: "I once told that girl, if this marriage line is not the woman I really like in Xia Ze's heart, I don't care what God does, a match made in heaven, even if Lord Ma takes a ghost head knife and puts it on my neck to coerce me, I don't want it; If one day I really meet a woman I like, and she happens to be a so-called heavenly gift, then it will be great."
The woman looked a little lost, and she suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
Xia Ze stood up, a red line flew out of his fingertips, and landed in front of Lin Luqing, it was the Eight Desolation Sword from the Fire, looking at Xia Ze with some grievances.
"This sword from the fire is Miss Lin's sword, and it happened to be returned to Miss Lin today, I wish Miss Lin a safe and smooth sailing journey in the future."
Lin Luqing slapped the fire sword upside down and flew back to Xia Ze's side: "The sword stronger than him, I have more of it, since she gave it to you, you can take it well, get away, don't come to my eyes."
"Also, who said I was leaving?" Lin Luqing clasped her hands to her chest and snorted coldly, "This girl has come all the way here, and you don't feel distressed at all? Why don't you arrange a place for me to live and show me around?"
"This .....," Xia Ze looked embarrassed.
"Afraid that your sweetheart will be angry?" Lin Luqing asked with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll let Xiao Er find a room for Miss Lin here."
"The beauty of thought! I will follow you, where you go, I will go." Lin Luqing smiled slyly.
Lin Luqing waved his hand: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here not only to break off grievances with you, but also to take advantage of this to observe the Tao and sharpen my Dao heart."
Xia Ze thought for a long time, and had to nod helplessly.
Soon, however, his bowels turned green with repentance.
This Lin Luqing seemed to look at his embarrassed look in particular, and when he returned together, he always wanted to touch his hand intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his face, so Xia Ze almost ran away from her along the way.
Back in Pan's Mansion, Xu Xiuzhu saw the woman next to Xia Ze at a glance, and smiled crookedly, could this be Xia Ze's sweetheart?
But the next moment, his smile was like the river in the wax moon, frozen on his face.
Lin Luqing looked around and sighed, "Just these few wine bags and rice bags can also help you fight the enemy's gibbon saint?"
Bai Lu glanced at her, and lightning burst out in his hand.
Ayu sneered, and claws grew from her fingertips, and then she was grabbed by He Xu and whispered in her ear. He Xu had seen her once in Yunxi Town, and he probably knew the ins and outs. Although Ayu didn't immediately rush forward to fight Lin Luqing, the sharp claws on his fingertips were still not recovered, and he glared angrily.
Xia Ze turned his head and said angrily, "Miss Lin, these are all my friends, so you can be polite."
Lin Luqing snorted lightly and found a step to sit down.
Xu Xiuzhu came to Xia Ze's side and whispered, "Aze, this girl is the one you have in mind? It's really bad to look at the temper, and you will have to bear it in the future."
"Of course not!"
At this time, a small official trotted into the courtyard and said, "Immortal masters! The gods and goddesses on the mountains have arrived one after another, and Lord Pan asked me to invite a few people to move to the council hall to discuss the strategy of defending the city."
"Okay, we'll be there later." Xia Ze said.
Seeing that Xia Ze agreed, the little official went elsewhere to inform the others.
Xia Ze slowly walked to a well, and with a thought, the phantom of the white robe flashed away, and three thousands of points of light fell into the well one by one.
I inquired before, and all the disciples of all the sects who came in the past two days are all there
If the Taoist is telling the truth and only half the dose of the powder is used, then within an hour, the poison in the water of the well will be removed by his divine will. Five
The crowd moved to the council chamber and took their seats.
Pan Gu saw Xia Ze and the others coming, and nodded with a smile.
Xia Ze looked around and found two familiar faces.
The children of various sects greeted each other politely, and the man who talked and laughed with Pan Gu was not Nie Yueming who had experienced the battle of the horse crying grave? Xia Ze noticed the woman on the side, her face was dull, like a puppet.
"Su Fiber?"
Xia Ze suddenly turned his head suddenly, and a man and a woman walked in from outside the door, with a big knife hanging on the man's back, which was the same two he met in the City God Temple.
"This smell..... Xia Ze smelled a familiar smell from the woman.
A smell of doped blood and incense.
