CHAPTER XVII
Li Xiaocao tilted his head and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, he seemed to have met someone with this kind of body, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
There are not many people who can hide their bodies like this, but there doesn't seem to be a single person who uses a sword, Li Xiaoyu simply opened his eyes and asked Cheng Jiujiu: "Can you recognize this person?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu nodded lightly and said expressionlessly: "The sword in his hand is called Yingxue, you should know whose sword it is." ”
Li Xiaocao suddenly realized, but there was a trace of puzzlement: "Why is Zhang Zhenren's sword in his hand?" As far as I know, Zhang Zhenren has no descendants. ”
Cheng Jiujiu said: "There are indeed no serious heirs, but there are many illegitimate children, and this person is one of them." ”
"I don't believe Zhang Zhenren will give him the sword."
Cheng Jiujiu turned sideways and teased Li Xiaocao: "It seems that you have been out of the rivers and lakes for too long, of course Zhang Zhenren will not give this Wudang secret treasure to an illegitimate son with no identity, so he died, and was pierced through the heart from behind by his son who he thought was no threat." ”
Li Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, Zhang Zhenren dominated the world for a lifetime, but he ended up in such a bag, Shen Ying was stunned when he listened: "Wasn't Tianbao Daoist killed by Yan Ting?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu made a silent movement, only to hear the butcher Wang downstairs shouting and scolding: "The one who should have come hasn't come yet, but the useless one arrived so early, let Lao Tzu wait here hungry!" ”
"If you bark again, I'll pull out your teeth."
Wang Butcher snorted coldly, tilted his head to look at the other side of the street, and a young woman slowly walked in the darkness of the street, wearing a purple tight robe, and a small red snake spitting out letters wrapped around her willow waist.
Tears, scars, and countless cuts were carved into every exposed flesh, and the whole face looked so horrible and hateful.
Shen Ying only glanced at it and hurriedly turned his head, he was afraid that if he looked at it again, he couldn't help but ask what kind of ordeal this woman had suffered, Li Xiaowu couldn't help frowning, and asked Chengjiujiu on the side: "Which weirdo is this?" ”
Cheng Jiu said: "Tang Lanxin, the new elder of the Tang Sect Shadow Sect. ”
Li Xiaocao asked, "Who made her look like this?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu said: "It's herself." ”
Li Xiaowu gasped, Shen Ying almost screamed on the side, and hurriedly covered her mouth, but Cheng Jiujiu said lightly: "She fell in love with a man who could never be obtained, and she cut her body into this appearance by herself, because she loved him too deeply and hated him too deeply." ”
Li Xiaocao asked, "If you can't get that person, punish yourself?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu said: "She once made a poisonous oath that she would kill that man when she saw him again, but every time she couldn't do it, she could only seek comfort in this cruel way." ”
Li Xiaoyan was a little moved, there is such an infatuated woman in the world, I don't know whether to say that she is pitiful or stupid.
Cheng Jiujiu glanced at his expression, and said with a somewhat mysterious smile: "You don't have to feel sorry for her, her methods of dealing with men are beyond your imagination, none of the men who fell into her hands were completely lying in the coffin." ”
"Who is the man she is in love with?"
"Her father."
There were already four people at the door of the inn, counting the women who had just arrived, but they were still standing here and didn't push the door open, could they still be waiting? What kind of master will that be?
Chengjiu and the others were a little boring, but Li Xiaoyu kept looking around with interest, Zangjiao Pavilion didn't wait, but caught these weird masters, he was even more curious about who would come next.
"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"
A slight bell sound came from a distance, and the four people who were waiting turned their heads to look at it at the same time, and Butcher Wang grinned excitedly: "It's finally here." ”
The bell was getting louder and louder, and Li Xiaoyu cheered up and stared at the approaching person closely, and after he took a closer look, his face suddenly stiffened, and he looked at Cheng Jiujiu with very strange eyes.
Shen Ying's face also became a little complicated, they didn't recognize the girl with the bell tied to her body, but both of them recognized the long sword tied to the girl's waist.
Fish swallows lotus, a sword passed down from generation to generation in the Dugu family.
Dugu Xiaorong didn't walk fast, holding a beautifully carved dice in her hand, and kept throwing it in the air, and the dice always fell on her hand at a strange angle, Dugu Xiaorong walked into the center of the four people unhurriedly, suddenly showed a smile, and asked: "If I don't come, you won't dare to go in?" ”
Butcher Wang snorted coldly and didn't speak, being speechless at the moment is sure, Dugu Xiaorong shook her head a little helplessly, and asked Tang Lanxin on the side: "Your letter says that my sixteenth sister is here." ”
"Not bad."
"The legendary swordsman is here, too?"
"Not bad."
Dugu Xiaorong sneered: "If what your people say is true, I'm afraid that we are all fat on the chopping board for the two of us to slaughter, ah no, it's you, not me." With that, he walked over to the inn and kicked the door open.
Several people's eyes looked into the room at the same time, the hazy moonlight spilled into the lobby, the room was empty, the tables and chairs were neatly placed, there seemed to be a trace of wine, and the silver needles scattered on the ground were shining.
Dugu Xiaorong took the lead in walking in, walked to the center of the lobby, closed her eyes and carefully felt the breath in the room, and then smiled at a few people outside the door: "We're late, there's no one here." ”
Several people walked into the inn slowly this time, only the fat man drove the carriage to the door, clinging to the coffin and didn't seem to dare to stay away for a moment, Dugu Xiaorong looked at a silver needle at her feet, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers in the air, and the silver needle on the ground flew into her fingers mysteriously.
Dugu Xiaorong pinched the silver needle in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and then lowered her head to look at the other silver needles on the ground, her handsome face became a little red, she turned her head to Tang Lanxin and asked, "Your people said that my sixteenth sister only used a sword?" ”
Tang Lanxin nodded, and Dugu Xiaorong said with some mockery: "Could it be that your people are in a hurry and misunderstood?" ”
Tang Lan said in his heart: "One person may be wrong, but twelve people will not. ”
Dugu Xiaorong sighed deeply, handed the silver needle in her hand to Tang Xinlan, and sighed: "It's not wrong that this is the pear flower sword cut off, but dozens of bee tail bone piercing needles are cut off with one sword, even my father is absolutely difficult to use such a sword, and I am afraid that only that swordsman in the world can do it." ”
Tang Lanxin didn't take it, but said seriously: "It must be the sword used by Dugu Xiaoying, there will never be a mistake." ”
Dugu Xiaorong flicked the needle out and smiled at a few people: "I'm not interested in the Yan Ting in your mouth, since the sixteenth sister is not here, I will leave." ”
A few people did not stop them, and after Dugu Xiaorong left, the Wang butcher took a sip and scolded: "The old ghost of Oolong is hiding by himself, but let a few of us come to wipe his belly, one Yan Ting is already difficult to deal with, and now there are two more difficult to deal with." ”
The man in black didn't speak, but Tang Lanxin showed an intriguing smile and said, "I forgot to tell you that Yan Ting here is not true. ”
"Oh?" Butcher Wang looked at Tang Lanxin, and the man in black also looked at her sideways, Tang Lanxin said unhurriedly: "I have received a message from the flying pigeon, Yan Ting appeared at the post station on the edge of Luoyang today. ”
Hu Gua Zi said: "Then he must take the boat by water, we have already missed it." ”
Tang Lanxin's smile began to be a little weird: "If the gourd seeds die, they won't be able to take that boat and can only pass through here, and my people won't let them come quickly." ”
"Them?"
"Yes, Mu Jinghong is coming here with him."
Mu Jinghong......
The king butcher and the man in black glanced at each other, and both of them looked a little surprised, and on the roof above their heads, Cheng Jiujiu opened a small piece of tile, and heard the name through the crack.
In the hearts of several of them, Mu Jinghong is not only a madman who steals everything, but also a person who has always been out of the world, and will never participate in the purge.
"It's weird!" Butcher Wang patted his head, a little puzzled, and the man in black finally opened his mouth at this time: "Mu Jinghong, I will deal with it, you just need to focus on Yan Ting." ”
Butcher Wang sneered: "Can you deal with it?" ”
The man in black didn't speak, just clenched the sword in his hand, and the fat man outside the door patted the coffin, yawned, and asked Tang Lanxin, "How long will they arrive?" ”
Tang Lan said in his heart: "Mu Jinghong only needs one day, but it takes at least two days to be parallel with Yan Ting. ”
The fat man smiled and shouted to the three people in the room: "I will come back in two days, I hope you have solved Yan Ting by then, otherwise I can only release the contents of the coffin." With that, he shouted and drove away in the carriage.
Butcher Wang pursed his lips, it stands to reason that several of them should unite, but when he thought of the thing in the coffin, even if he was murderous, he couldn't help but feel palpitations, he would rather face Yan Ting alone than see that thing again, and was about to speak, but there was no trace of the man in black in the room.
Butcher Wang's eyes widened, and he said to Tang Lanxin, "He just left us like this?" ”
Tang Lanxin casually slumped on the table and smiled at Butcher Wang: "Didn't you listen to what he just said? Mu Jinghong is dealt with by him, presumably he can't hold it anymore. ”
The woman's laughter was a little tempting, and the butcher Wang heard that his body was a little hot, so he walked up to the woman and pressed her shoulder, and said with a wicked smile: "He can't hold it, and Lao Tzu is also very impatient." ”
Tang Lanxin burst into laughter, pulled the king butcher to the ground, rode on his waist and said with a smile: "Don't forget what you promised me, otherwise I will make your death very uncomfortable." ”
The king butcher grabbed the woman's hair, poked his head out and licked the woman's face, and said with a smile: "I will, I will help you kill that person." ”
The two met here, and the Chengjiu wine on the roof pulled the tiles, and then shook his head helplessly.
Yan Ting was actually with Mu Jinghong, and they didn't seem to realize how dangerous it would be here, Cheng Jiujiu touched the pear blossom on her waist and became worried, she was hesitating to break her promise to kill these two.
Shen Ying leaned her head over at this time and asked Cheng Jiujiu, "The last girl is your nineteenth sister Dugu Xiaorong, don't you plan to recognize her?" ”
Cheng Jiujiu came back to her senses, and she thought of this question, how could the daughter of the Dugu family be involved with these outlaws? Listening to Dugu Xiaorong's words, it seems that he has always been in contact with them, and wants to find Dugu Xiaoying through them, but now that the day of Dugu Sword Saint's funeral is approaching, shouldn't she be in Jinling?
Li Xiaocao saw what Cheng Jiujiu was thinking, and smiled at Shen Ying: "You don't have to worry about other people's family affairs, you should be happy, that Yan Ting may not be able to survive in the face of these people." ”
A silvery white lightning flashed in the sky, and the rumbling thunder followed the explosion, and the rain began to show some majestic signs.
The three of them were sheltering from the rain in a farmer's miscellaneous house at this time, Li Xiaocao handed over the only remaining broken silver to the farmer, they refused the farmer's kindness and did not enter the farmer's main house, Cheng Jiujiu wiped the wet hair in front of him at this time, and suddenly asked Shen Ying: "Where did you lead my donkey?" ”
Shen Ying said: "There is a ruined temple north of here, and I hid the donkey in the temple. ”
Cheng Jiujiu nodded, got up with his sword and said, "I'll go and bring the donkey, you guys are waiting for me here." With that, he opened the gate and rushed out in the pouring rain.
"Now?" Shen Ying was stunned for a moment, and was about to go out with her, Li Xiaoyan hurriedly grabbed Shen Ying and said with a smile: "She can't rest assured that little donkey, why did you go out?" ”
Shen Ying watched the back of Chengjiujiu get farther and farther away, until it completely disappeared into the night, Li Xiaowu closed the door, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about anything, she is much more measured than you." ”
