Chapter 251: Brothers Fight
A short time before the carriage left Maofeng Mountain, a long stretch of gloomy marshland appeared in front of it, set off by the evening sky, with several uneven and treacherous hills in the middle, and the road was flanked by wet moss and a thick-foliage sheep's tooth plant, and in the setting sun, bronze ferns and mottled blackberries glistened.
Xu Ruoping and Jun Wushang glanced at each other, urging the demon cultivator who was driving the car to leave this place quickly.
The coachman answered, and with a wave of his whip, the carriage went on without touching the ground, and after crossing a small bridge made of granite, it continued along a rushing rapid.
Xu Ruoping opened her eyes suddenly, staring blankly at the river, she felt that she should be very familiar with this place at a certain time.
Rushing water, foam splashing, roaring through the grey rocks, the road winds its way up a canyon of dwarf oak trees.
After a while, their carriage reached the top of the slope, and a vast swamp came into view, with strange rocks and graves scattered everywhere.
Gradually, it became darker and darker, and the wind blew, causing the bushes on both sides to sway and sway in the night wind, which was blowing louder and stronger.
The broken clouds rushed to each other, revealing a semi-circular moon between the clouds, and in the dim moonlight, the broken rocks were craggy and undulating.
Suddenly, from the swamp came a long, low, mournful roar, indescribably terrifying. The sound reverberated through the sky, and it was impossible to tell which direction it had come from, at first it was deep, it grew stronger into a wild roar, then it fell back into a mournful trill, and then it was heavy and light.
The demon cultivator who was driving the car was frightened, muttered in a low voice, and unconsciously sped up.
Jun Wushang frowned, pondered for a moment, and did not speak.
Xu Ruoping felt that this voice was so familiar that she fell asleep when she listened to it, and in her sleep she heard a voice shouting weakly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, save me, I can't stand it anymore!"
It seemed that the person who made this sound was suffering from some kind of torture, Xu Ruoping was startled, touched her back, and soaked her back with cold sweat.
When I woke up, the carriage had left the swamp, the car turned around, and slowly stopped in front of a quiet and long, willow-shaded alley, in the middle of this alley, there was a mansion, in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, a pair of stone lions stood majestically on both sides, the door was a dozen stone steps, the stone steps were full of people, there were lanterns in hand, there were also maids standing with their hands down, among them were three graceful and luxurious men in civilian clothes, standing at the gate, smiling slightly and looking this way.
Xu Ruoping only glanced at it, and couldn't help but press the net bottle in her arms to warn someone not to come out and cause trouble.
On the opposite side from left to right are Que Yu, Nanli and Qing Lingzi.
Xu Ruoping swept several faces deeply, she hadn't seen her for hundreds of years, and the appearance of the 'Five Junsheng in Beijing' didn't look old at all, but she was herself, and she became a mature old girl who couldn't get rid of the boss.
I was a little carried away for a while, and a sour taste surged in my heart.
When the old people met, both parties were unconsciously relatively silent for a moment, and Nanli took the lead in greeting Jun Wushang warmly.
Que Yu, as before, was still tepid, and took the initiative to introduce Xu Ruoping: "Xiaoyue, oh, you should change your words to Ruoping, this is our residence in the mountain and sea world, come, please come in." β
After speaking, he took the lead in leading her to the back room.
Although this place is not as magnificent as the palace of the former Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, it is also a large mansion with pavilions and rockeries.
The entrance is a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. Next to it are small two or three rooms, one bright and two dark, and there are beds and chairs made of floor tiles. There is a small door from the inside room, and out there is the backyard, where there are large pear blossoms and plantains. There are also two small houses. A gap suddenly opens under the wall of the backyard, the clear spring is a faction, the ditch is only a few feet, poured into the wall, around the edge of the house to the front yard, circling under the bamboo.
Que Yu and the others led Jun Wushang and Xu Ruoping to turn eastward, through an east-west hall, after the south hall, the courtyard in the Yimen, everyone walked into a large hall above, and the wings on both sides of the deer top ear room drill mountain, extending in all directions, magnificent.
Everyone reunited after a long absence, there are endless words to complain to each other, and the wine that can not be drunk should be drunk, in the main hall, a large table of wine and food has already been prepared, everyone will sit down as soon as they arrive, the servants serve tea and water, busy in and out, everyone at the table is nothing more than a greeting and polite gratitude.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Ruoping saw that it was getting late, and the conversation was almost the same, it was time to cut to the topic, so she said: "I don't know how His Royal Highness the Twelfth got Qingluan's numerology feather? β
Jun Wushang has been drinking and laughing, and when he heard this, he didn't squeak when he landed, and looked at Que Yu silently.
Que Yu raised his glass in one hand, lowered his eyes, and slowly took a sip of wine: "More than four hundred years ago, in the battle of Heifeng Town, Licang beat Qingluan to a serious injury, and after returning to China, he suffered a national disaster. β
Xu Ruoping froze for a moment, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head, and she was slightly angry in her heart: Second uncle and grandmother, we rushed here, and you didn't have any news of Qingluan.
So she asked mercilessly: "Then why do you have Qingluan's numerology feather, what does it mean to show us?"
Qing Lingzi, who had been silent for a long time next to him, finally opened his mouth at this time: "Otherwise, how could you come to the banquet in a hurry." β
Xu Ruoping turned her head sharply and stared at the other party's calm face: "It turns out that you set up a Hongmen banquet for us this time." β
Jun Wushang got up and pointed at Nanli's nose with his finger: "Nanli, do you want to harm me too?"
Nan Li's mood was a little complicated for a while, his expression flickered for a moment, and he arched his hand at him: "Wushang, our brothers, how can we harm you?"
Xu Ruoping clasped her arms in front of her chest and laughed out loud: "That's Luo who came at me." β
Nan Li nodded approvingly, and immediately shook his head again: "No, that, if you don't protect him, we won't embarrass you." β
Xu Ruoping was shocked: "Who are you protecting?"
Qing Lingzi said coldly: "The one in your arms, our great enemy, Venerable Zeling. β
Que Yu's cheeks tensed: "The net bottle is the holy object of our demon clan, he is hiding inside, from the moment you stepped into the realm of mountains and seas, we received the news, new hatred and old grudges, he is difficult to fly today." β
Xu Ruoping and Jun Wushang were suddenly lightheaded and short of breath.
Jun Wushang trembled his hands, pointed at Que Yu and said, "Twelve, in the past, I respected you as a person who valued love and righteousness, but I didn't expect you to use such a cruel method today. β
Qing Lingzi was upset, smiled at him, and said: "Jun Wushang, you are still embarrassed to say the four words 'love and righteousness', these four words came out of your mouth, I feel disgusted!"
How the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom was destroyed, how Bai Luyuan died, you know better than all of us, but what about you, for so many years, not only did you avenge the Ten Thousand Demon Country, but hated Bai Luyuan, but you were also willing to die for Hu Gou. Let me tell you, one of the things I regret most in my life is that I made a mistake with a wolf-hearted friend like you. β
In the end, Qing Lingzi almost clenched his gums, his eyes breathed fire, and he stared at each other motionlessly.
Jun Wushang was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Hmph, Li Canggang is self-serving, violent and suspicious, this kind of person is the emperor, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later, and Bai Luyuan's death is caused by Xiang Cheng Cheng's frame." Xiang Cheng Cheng has long been divided into the wilderness by my five horses, what does this have to do with Venerable Zeling. β
Qing Lingzi slapped his palm on the dining table, and the force was so strong that all the ladles and dishes on the table were shattered: "Jun Wushang, Jun Wushang, are you blinded by lard or have your head kicked by a donkey? If it wasn't for him, how could our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom be destroyed? If it wasn't for his deception, how could Lu Yuan be imprisoned by Licang? Lu Yuan was not imprisoned, and if Xiang Cheng Cheng had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how could he kill him?"
Jun Wushang shook his head: "Qing Lingzi, haven't you seen the ground yet?" The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has a monarch like Licang, even if there is no Zeling Venerable, there will be other Venerable Ones who will appear and replace the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. The war between countries and the use of intrigues and tricks are inevitable, how can Bai Luyuan's death be blamed on Venerable Zeling?"
Que Yu interjected and sneered on the side: "I'm ashamed, we are just rough people, we don't understand the so-called righteousness in your mouth, today we can still read the feelings of the past, as long as you leave the clean bottle, let you go, we don't want to listen to other nonsense." β
Xu Ruoping rubbed her eyebrows vigorously and shook her mushy head: "What if I don't want to?"
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Que Yu gave an order, and dozens of strong men in black rushed in outside the door, all holding scimitars, shining blue.
When Hu Yihui heard the movement outside, he wanted to rush out for a long time, but Xu Ruoping had to let the unicorn seal in the net bottle in advance, and he couldn't get out no matter how crazy he rushed.
Nan Li's eyebrows moved slightly, with an indescribable sad expression on his face, and he said softly to Xu Ruoping: "Ruoping, there is no grass at the end of the world, why hang yourself on a tree." This dog usually does a lot of evil, and we are just doing the right thing for heaven todayβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
"Shut up!" Xu Ruoping interrupted the other party angrily, "When did he do evil, didn't he destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, wars between countries in the heart of the earth, it is common for the king to lose the king, you can't just just put a plate of evil on someone's head because you can't beat others." β
Qing Lingzi broke off: "What else do you have to say to her, take it." β
A group of black-clothed people lined up to step forward, Jun Wushang took two steps forward, and pulled out his sword with a bang: "Whoever dares to touch her, I will kill whom." β
Before he finished speaking, he stumbled, his body went limp, and with a bang, the sword and the whole person fell to the ground at the same time.
