Chapter 6: The Four Demon Kings
The shadow of the moon is hazy, and the dark fragrance floats.
Outside the window, a tall magnolia tree is full of flowers, and leaning against the window is a clean bed, simple and elegant.
After the wind and frost changed clothes, as soon as the bed was touched, the sleepy insect crawled into the brain, yawned and fell asleep.
In this compartment, Fu Tianji finished bathing, changed into an apricot white robe and put it on, opened the door, and walked to the backyard.
The middle-aged man had already set up a table of good tea, the cold smell of tea came with the wind, Fu Tianji sat down opposite, tapped the cup with his fingertips, and asked, "Is there any wine?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, "It's been a long time since you drank alcohol, why do you want to drink today?" ”
Fu Tianji didn't answer, he spread out his left hand and looked down, there was a wound about three inches long in the palm of his hand, although the bleeding stopped, he could still see that the wound was a little deep.
The middle-aged man was surprised: "Are you injured?" ”
"I was a little injured in the fight with the wolf demon." Fu Tianji stretched his slender fingers, moved his muscles and bones, and said lightly, "In the end, there is still a sword missing, a little reluctantly." ”
The middle-aged man sighed. A boy next to him withdrew the tea and replaced the two with wine, the wine was fragrant, and the middle-aged man saw that Fu Tianji was about to raise a glass, so he persuaded: "You haven't drunk it for many years, drink less." ”
Fu Tianji shook his wine glass, "Although I call you Uncle Long, don't forget, in terms of age, I am actually much older than you." ”
Uncle Long smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed: "You have been cultivating since you were twenty years old, and your face has not changed since then, even the head of the year said that you are a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years." It's a pity that I didn't achieve a little until I was about forty years old. In terms of seniority, I have to call you 'Uncle Shi'. ”
"You don't have to worry about seniority." Fu Tianji took a sip of wine, and the long-lost aroma of wine reminded him of the past years.
"By the way, who is that girl?" Uncle Long said curiously, "I'm so old, I've never seen such a good-looking little girl." ”
Fu Tianji gently shook the wine glass in his hand and did not speak.
**
Wind Frost rolled over, and her eyelashes were full of teardrops.
She had a dream about the year she was thirteen.
On that day, my father got up very early and bought fresh sea bass from the market, and my mother, who is good at herbal medicine, went to her own field to pick up fresh purple lemon grass, and with a special boiling method, she made a fresh purple lemon steamed fish, which was fragrant.
Unfortunately, she didn't get a taste of the fish.
When it was almost lunchtime, the village suddenly became chaotic, and a demon broke into the village and devoured people on sight. The mother stuffed her under the stove, and the father took a broom and rushed out, and then ......
What happened afterwards was a lifelong fear and blow to her at a young age.
Outside the window, the shadows of the trees fluttered and moved, wafting in the fragrance of magnolia flowers, she covered her eyes, silently recited: one, two, three.....
When she counted to ten, she stopped crying. Over the years, every time she felt sad, she used this method to tell herself: Don't cry anymore.
Tears often make people vulnerable, and only looking at the benchmark in front of you and running straight without distractions is the most realistic.
The tears stopped, but she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply put on her clothes.
The wing turned out to be a back staircase, and not wanting to break the silence of the night, she went up the stairs barefoot.
The moonlight drove her forward, and came to a stone path lined with jasmine, and there was a smell of wine wafting in front of her, and she looked at the end of the path, only to see that at the end of the path, it seemed to be a lump of stinky ice...... Drinking with someone?
She quickly flashed into the flowers beside her, pricking up her ears to eavesdrop.
"It's just a scoundrel." Fu Tianji answered Uncle Long's question, raised his head, and drank the wine in his hand.
The rich aroma of wine wafted in the wind, and the wind condensation frost hiding in the flowers suddenly became addicted to alcohol, only to hear Fu Tianji continue: "I can't drive away, I have to take her back to Shumen." ”
Uncle Long laughed: "Young man, it's rare to have such a firm ambition, son, you can take her for a ride." ”
Feng Ningshuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged this uncle a hundred times in his heart - this is a good person, much more reasonable than the lump of ice.
This lump of "ice cubes" really replied unreasonably: "It's not appropriate." Tomorrow I will go to the Spirit Sword Villa, and they have a lot to do with this wolf demon. One of the two disciples who had disappeared in the gate was holding the Shumen token in his hand, and I suspect that the token is now in their villa. ”
Uncle Long let out a cool breath and said, "I thought that their disappearance was only related to the wolf demon, but I didn't expect the Spirit Sword Villa to be involved. The stakes are high and must be retrieved. However, this is obvious, and I'm afraid they won't admit it. ”
Fu Tianji didn't speak, picked up the wine cup and took another big sip, at this time a jar of wine had been drunk half, Uncle Long was overwhelmed with wine, said goodbye to Fu Tianji, and went back to the room to rest.
The night was deeper, and the moonlight covered the earth like a light veil.
Fu Tianji tilted his head sideways, and suddenly said, "Come out, when do you want to hide?" ”
The flowers squirmed, and a 100,000 embarrassed wind condensation frost was drilled, and the index finger was pointed at the index finger, and said, "That...... I didn't mean to eavesdrop. ”
Fu Tianji took an empty wine cup, filled it, and pushed it forward, Feng Ningshuang immediately reacted, jumped forward and sat down like a rabbit, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine.
It is a good osmanthus wine, very rich, and the palpitations caused by the nightmare seem to have been alleviated a lot.
Seeing that Fu Tianji was still drinking by himself, the venue was a little cold, Feng Ningshuang remembered what he had overheard just now, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything I can do to help?" ”
Fu Tianji glanced at her and didn't speak.
Feng Ningshuang patted his chest and volunteered: "The token of your Shumen fell in the Spirit Sword Villa, if you go to get it, they will not admit it." And your identity is here, a dignified person in Shumen, you may not be able to search people's villas strongly, right? ”
"I'm different. And, I've come up with a way to help you! Wind Frost leaned over and made a trumpet shape with one hand.
Fu Tianji didn't say anything, rubbing the wine glass in his hand, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Feng Ningshuang thought that he had been impressed, and threw out the key point while the iron was hot: "If I can retrieve that token for you, you will take me back to Shushan." What do you think? ”
Fu Tianji said coldly: "You probably don't know what you're going to face. The Great Zhou Kingdom is no longer what it used to be, and one of the four demon kings has appeared. You are a mortal, you don't have to get involved in this fight. Go back and live your life well. ”
Feng Ningshuang was stunned, "The Four Great Demon Kings? ”
Fu Tianji: "The wolf demon I got rid of is one of the four demon kings. Well, no need to say any more, you go back and rest. Tomorrow at dawn, Uncle Long will send you out of the city, where you go back and forth from. ”
Again, you want to send her away?
Xu drank a little wine, the wind condensation frost was a little angry, and he didn't want to pretend anymore, so he put the wine glass on the table, stared at him, and said word by word: "I came here with great difficulty, just to go to Shushan to learn magic and avenge my father." You're not in charge, so what's the right to stop me repeatedly? People like you have had a smooth life and have never lost any important people, so they are so cold and arrogant and have no empathy ability! ”
Thinking of the scene of her parents' tragic death in front of her eyes, her throat seemed to be blocked, and she no longer cared about the common rule of asking people to lower her eyebrows and ears, but felt a breath in her chest, and her heart was panicked.
