Chapter 15: Zhang Qingsheng
She is not a bodhisattva saint, but if she leaves him alone and runs away, she will live in self-blame and pain for the rest of her life.
She was born in the royal family, and what she did was always the choice that everyone expected. She wants to live for her father, for the people, and for the world.
But this time, she wanted to live for herself.
Zhao Yuanling calmly stood in place and waited for the death sentence to be announced.
Seeing that the demon was about to walk in front of her, the black white pupils constricted, and in the next moment, he used the power of the desolation to break free from the vines.
However, there were still dozens or hundreds of vines, frantically and rapidly surging up.
Like weeds, they heal quickly and grow new branches. He dodged left and right, leaving blood marks on the ground.
He went crazy and cut off all the vines in front of him, but he was a step too late.
"Princess!"
Zhao Yuanling's mouth opened in pain, and she gathered her five fingers to break the hand on her neck.
A puff of white smoke rose from the moment his fingers touched the demon's skin, and a foul smell of burning came from the air.
It hurts...... I want to die happily!
His eyes were fixed on the demon in front of him, and his mouth did not utter a word begging for mercy.
Her eyes were scarlet and hideous, and her eyes were already black because she was suffocating.
It hurts......
It's so uncomfortable...... Why haven't you died yet......
Just as she was about to faint, she saw the beating heart on the demon's chest.
The crumpled flesh was like shrunken and sun-dried bark, and every beat of his heart was enormous, as if it was about to break through his flesh.
There was a faint blue glow, and it looked like something was blooming inside.
It was a flower, snow-white, blooming alone.
"White ...... Peony. Zhao Yuanling subconsciously said these two words.
Suddenly, her body fell to the ground.
Regaining her air, she coughed violently, and it wasn't until she could catch her breath that she looked up in shock.
"White... Peony ...... "The killing color faded in the demon's eyes, and was replaced by a confusion.
He muttered the word "white peony" in his mouth, looking crazy.
A thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Yuanling's mind, and he asked tentatively, "Who is Bai Shao?" Her voice was hoarse as if it had been smoked, and every word she uttered was difficult.
"Yes...... Wife. His voice was sharp and piercing like a sharp blade cutting through metal.
Wife... White peony ......
It's as if something is connected in the head.
"I'm coming! I'm here with helpers! At this moment, the armadillo's voice came out from a distance, and there were only a dozen people behind her. Take a closer look, these are demons in human form.
With hoes and shovels in their hands, they watched the demon in front of them warily.
"Big sister, go quickly, he'll be handed over to us!" One of the demons said.
The armadillo's heart sank when he saw Zhao Yuanling, who was dying, and then saw Mo Bai, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Although she rushed down the mountain at the speed of a meteor to catch the moon, when she arrived at the official yamen to tell them, as soon as those officers and soldiers heard that there were demons in Zifeng Mountain and all the people who went up the mountain were killed, the county leader was so frightened that he hurriedly packed up his baggage and abandoned the town.
For a moment, people were panicked, and the people in the town fled, and everyone had no way to protect themselves, and they didn't care about the lives of others.
Fortunately, a group of demons suddenly sprang out and said that they would follow her up the mountain.
"Quick, save Mobai first!"
Mo Bai and Zhao Yuanling were both protected by them.
With the armadillo's support, she struggled to her feet, her throat burned, and it took great courage to say every word.
I saw a group of demons standing in front of her show their weapons one after another, and after glancing at each other.
"Brothers, let's go!" At the sound of the order, they all rushed forward in tacit understanding.
"Poof!" In an instant, dozens of knives and guns were all submerged in his body.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to take it lightly.
They glanced at each other, and each of them poked their sharp weapons harder at the demon's body.
The blade cut through his skin and burst out, not a trace of blood in sight.
A pair of eyes looked at them as if they were dead, but only one heart was still beating wildly.
It was silent, even the wind was still. Only the strange heartbeat sounded like a beating drum, beating on their eardrums one by one.
Weirdly scary.
In a moment, the demon finally moved.
His body shook, and the knives and guns piercing him flew out in an instant.
The eyes returned to bloodthirsty violence, and the dark eyes seemed to devour them all.
The demons all fell to the ground, and in the face of the absolute crushing of the demons, their blood prevailed.
"You go first, we won't believe it, and the brothers won't be able to subdue him!" The black bear spirit led by him spat a mouthful of blood foam and stood up arrogantly.
"Beat him up!"
"Beat him up, beat him up!"
“……”
For a moment, Zhao Yuanling's heart was mixed.
Bloodthirsty, brutal, inhumane, greedy...... All kinds of darkest words are used to describe demons in her eyes.
This time, it seemed as if something was subverting her perception.
She was stunned and said, "Why...... Why do you want to do this? ”
"So what's the why? We volunteered to help, so how could we run away halfway through? ”
"No, although I'm stupid, they say I'm the most righteous."
"We are not greedy for life and afraid of death like you human race!"
word by word, beating Zhao Yuanling's heart.
She was puzzled, but she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.
With a bang, countless vines rose from the ground.
Hua Sheng saw the vines and subconsciously recalled the appearance of those people who were all dead through her body.
He subconsciously shouted, "Run!" It was too late, and the vines attacked them in an instant, and everyone jumped up and down to avoid the vines' attacks.
The demons moved swiftly and quickly dodged their attacks. Although they couldn't defeat the demons, the vines were barely enough for them.
In a few moments, the ground was full of vine stumps, and the spilled black-purple liquid corroded the earth, leaving burning marks.
"Big brothers, you're amazing!" Hanama cheered and cheered, but a vine was quietly approaching behind him.
"Ahh Hanamori's body suddenly took off, and he screamed in fright. The vines wrapped around his body, and the more he struggled, the tighter he wound around.
The vines lifted his body high and shook him from side to side as if dancing. In an instant, his eyes were full of stars.
"Help......
"Let him go! What is the ability to bully children! The armadillo roared angrily.
The demon listened but did not hear, and the vines tightened.
"Ahh Hanama let out a painful roar.
"Let him go!" Zhao Yuanling covered his vocal cords and shouted with difficulty: "Zhang Qingsheng." ”
The fluttering vines in the sky froze for a moment, and everything around seemed to be frozen.
Zhang ...... Birthday ......" There was a momentary blankness in the demon's eyes, and then it was full of coldness.
The change in that moment just now was captured by Zhao Yuanling, and she had already determined in her heart that this person was Zhang Qingsheng who they had been looking for.
"Put the person down, I'll take you to Bai Shao."
"White peony...... Bai Shao ......" The demon muttered these two words in his mouth, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
It seems to be joyful, and it is like pain.
The vines were all retracted in an instant, and the entangled demons were successfully put down.
Zhao Yuanling struck while the iron was hot, and said step by step: "Bai Shao is waiting for you, she has been waiting for you." ”
"I'll take you to her."
The dark clouds overhead had inadvertently dissipated, and the thick dead silence that permeated the air gradually dissipated.
The pupils faded from the thick layer of pure black, revealing eyes as clear as well water.
The eyebrows and eyes are upright, and there is an inviolable atmosphere.
Zhao Yuanling had never seen him, but her intuition told her that Zhang Qingsheng was General Wude, who had been missing for fifty years.
His face now looks no more than thirty years old.
Zhao Yuanling brought Zhang Qingsheng to the gate of the Song Mansion, and when he saw the white peony in that place, his expression trembled.
At this time, the door happened to open, and I saw the doorman holding a yellow talisman paper and pressing it against the eaves with a stone.
Zhang Qingsheng immediately took a few steps back.
"A few of you are here to find the master, let me report first."
Zhao Yuanling stopped the person and asked, "What is this rune paper?" ”
"This talisman paper was begged by our master when he went to the Master of the Heavenly Cicada Temple, saying that it can drive away evil spirits from the town's house. In the past two days, the money happened to be blown away by the wind, and I went to ask for a copy again. ”
"I can't get in with it."
Zhang Qingsheng opened his mouth, and the doorman noticed that there was still such a person.
When he saw his bare skin, he was so frightened that he hurriedly fled behind the door: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts!" ”
"Don't ...... Misunderstand. Zhao Yuanling's throat hurt, and he motioned for the armadillo to explain it clearly to the doorman.
The armadillo nodded and kicked the door open directly, "What the hell, don't you old lady Song just want to see ghosts?" Hurry up and report to your master. ”
Come on, the misunderstanding is even bigger now.
The doorman was so frightened that he ran back, and the armadillo jumped up and took off the talisman paper pressed against the eaves.
Without the confinement of the rune paper, the stunned feeling in Zhang Qingsheng's heart disappeared, and his whole body relaxed.
It turned out that he couldn't find Bai Shao because of the protection of the rune paper.
Master Song walked out quickly, and when he saw Zhang Qingsheng, he also took a big jump.
How could there be such a terrifying person, his skin was wrinkled like a dried corpse, but that face unexpectedly made people feel a righteous awe-inspiring aura.
His expression quickly returned to normal.
Zhao Yuanling introduced him and said: "This is Zhang Qingsheng, the person that Mrs. Song has been looking for." ”
"This ......" Master Song carefully looked at the man in front of him. The appearance of no one or a ghost looks like he is only in his thirties, and his mother has already married into the Song Mansion at that time.
It can't be, right?
"My mother is now in her prime, this ...... I'm afraid it's not the person he's looking for. ”
The armadillo interrupted him impatiently: "If it's the person she is looking for, you can let Mrs. Song come and see." ”
I haven't found anyone who has been looking for several years, and now they don't believe it when they bring it to them, these people are really grinding and chirping.
Master Song hesitated again and again, and finally led the person in.
