Chapter 67: Sifan
"Xuanyuan?" The man's body did not move, his mind was racing rapidly, and he didn't know what he meant.
was thinking about it, but he heard the noise of the soldiers, and then saw a team of soldiers with knives breaking through the door and surrounding the Yuan Qing group.
"The last general is negligent, and please punish the city lord!" the leader of the general rushed to the front, clenched his fists and bowed his head, and said respectfully.
The man put the sword into the sheath, waved his hand and took a few steps forward, and looked at it carefully, but he saw that the young man was dressed in a white robe, and the sword soldier was close to him and his face did not change, his temperament was ethereal, and his bearing was leisurely, not like a mortal figure.
After pondering for a moment, he turned slightly sideways and said to the general behind him, "Go and ask the horse chief to come." ”
"Yes. ”
The general bowed down and took the order, and then returned, followed by a middle-aged Taoist, with a crescent crown on his head and a cloud crane robe, Shi Shiran stepped into the room.
The Taoist didn't care about the situation in the house, and walked straight to the man and said, "Brother Shen, what's the alarm, Poor Dao is about to open the furnace for alchemy." ”
The man smiled slightly and replied: "Disturbing Brother Ma's alchemy, Shen is guilty, but this young man claims to be from Xuanyuan, and his behavior is quite extraordinary, the younger brother doesn't know what it means, and it is difficult to decide for a while, so he has no choice but to invite Brother Dao to come and get an idea." ”
The Taoist was shocked when he heard the word "Xuanyuan", hurriedly turned around, looked Yuan Qing up and down, and at the same time released his divine sense and leaned towards him.
Yuan Qing knew that when the Taoist entered, he was only in the realm of practicing qi, and at this moment, his mind and body were in his mind, and the young man did not stop him, so he stood quietly, and his exercises flowed naturally, allowing him to be explored.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Taoist's expression changed greatly, and he bowed to the end, and said respectfully: "Loose cultivation horse tour, meet the seniors." ”
Seeing this, the man immediately retreated from the soldiers, and then bowed down and saluted: "Shen Wenxin doesn't know that the immortal is in front of him, and he is offended, and he hopes that the immortal will forgive his sins." ”
Yuan Qing waved his sleeves to help the two of them up, and then said: "It was Yuan who was reckless, and the city lord should be like this." ”
Shen Wenxin shook his head again and again when he heard this, saying "I don't dare", and suddenly had a good impression of Yuan Qing in his heart; Ma Youzhi stood aside with his hands tied, and said secretly in his heart: "He is worthy of being a disciple of a great sect, and he does have the demeanor of an immortal family." ”
After some pushing, the three of them sat down as the guest of honor, Yuan Qing was in the main position, but it was Shen and Ma who insisted on doing so, and then Shen Wenxin asked: "I don't know where the immortals came from this time?"
Yuan Qing replied lightly: "Wandering in the mountains, I don't know the direction, I want to take a look at the city lord's map." In addition, about the attack of demon beasts, Yuan also wanted to know a thing or two. ”
Before Shen Wenxin could speak, Ma Youzhi took the lead in asking: "The juniors dare to ask the seniors if they want to return to Xuanyuan in the battle of Beiliang?"
Yuan Qing nodded and replied, "Not bad." ”
Ma Youzhi immediately said: "That is the case, the junior here's a map, which is from the hand of the Jingtian Sect, although it is not exhaustive, but it also roughly marks the location of the mountain gate of the large and small sects here, I hope it will be helpful to the seniors." ”
As he spoke, a white light flashed in his hand, and a roll of animal skin appeared, and he respectfully handed it over.
Yuan Qing took the animal skin, shook his hand and opened it, it was indeed as Ma You said, although it only covered the territory of thousands of miles around Liangguo, but it was enough to solve the current predicament.
After a cursory glance, the young man put the animal skin together, put it aside, and then said lightly: "This picture is indeed of great use to Yuan, what do you want, you might as well say it bluntly." ”
Ma Youzhi replied with a smile: "The seniors are transparent, and the juniors are obedient." There is indeed one thing, and this matter is also closely related to the siege of the demon beast. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Shen Wenxin, who immediately understood, and said: "So that the immortals know that there are thirteen monsters in this beast chaos, and they are more than zhang tall, all of them are wolves, and the demon wolf is three zhang high, and the strength is infinite and invulnerable. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Qing chuckled and asked, "Are you planning to let Yuan send away this group of demon beasts?"
Ma Youzhi's smile was even greater, and he said flatteringly: "The predecessors are profound, and some little demons are not ready to be captured, and there are soldiers and soldiers who are even more ......."
Halfway through his words, he saw Yuan Qing suddenly get up, brushed his sleeves away, ignored the map on the table, and didn't even look at it again.
Shen Wenxin was in a hurry, hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "Thinking of all the people in the city, I implore my seniors to help!"
Ma Youzhi was also anxious, and took a few steps forward and shouted loudly: "The seniors stay behind, and the juniors still have a bottle of elixir in their hands, which has been passed down from ancient times, and after the matter is completed, it will be ......."
Speaking of this, he stopped abruptly, but listened to the sound of the sword, the young man suddenly turned sideways, his body was shining with silver light, and Sen Ran's sword intent came out of his body, like a sharp blade hanging on the top, stabbing the two of them in the brain palace painfully.
With another clear sound, the brilliance was exhausted, and the young man turned around with his sleeves brushed up, and disappeared in a flash, leaving the two of them looking at each other at a loss.
After a while, Shen Wenxin shook his head, his face was bitter, and he sighed; Ma Youzhi was still in shock, and kept reviewing in his heart, not knowing which sentence made this senior so unhappy.
West of the city, blacksmith shop.
Yuan Qing left the city lord's mansion and went straight to the west of the city according to what the pillar said. Standing outside the shop at the moment, watching this honest man busy with all his joy, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Pillar, I've come to you for a drink. Yuan Qinglang shouted.
When the pillar heard the sound, he immediately put down his work, came to the outer room, and bowed down to Yuanqing in the same way as Zhang Jian, and shouted "Shangxian".
Yuan Qing didn't wait for him to bow down and helped him up, and then said: "I'm here to ask you for a drink, where are you coming from such vulgar etiquette, and the name of the immortal is not allowed to be mentioned again, you call me Brother Yuan." ”
The pillar blinked and asked, "Up... Brother Yuan, you look like you're in your early twenties, and I'm in my thirties, why do you still want me to call you big brother?"
After speaking, he suddenly patted his head, then stepped forward, and whispered mysteriously: "I know, you immortals are all immortal, and they look young, but they are actually old immortals who have lived for a long time!"
Yuan Qing laughed, and then also lowered his voice and said: "You are right, I can't hide it, in fact, I am over 100 years old!"
Zhuzi was taken aback when he heard this, and replied with wide eyes: "Then I should call your ancestor!"
"Hahaha!" the boy laughed loudly, and the laughter was hearty and overflowing.
Seeing this, the pillar was a little dazed, and muttered to himself, "I said it wrong?
"Ahem," Yuan Qing smiled and coughed lightly, no longer entangled with him about the title of this generation, and asked after a while, "Zhuzi, where is your good wine?"
As soon as the pillar heard the wine, he instantly forgot everything, and said with a smile: "I have been ready for a long time, just waiting for you to come!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Yuan Qing's wrist and walked to the shop, but he suddenly let go without taking two steps, his face was scornful, his big hand was rubbing on his body, and when he looked back, he saw that the young man's sleeves were as clean as new, and he was amazed.
When he arrived in the backyard, the pillar rushed into the back room, and while moving the tables and stools outside, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Son, the fairy I told you is here, quickly take out the pot of burning knives I hid, and cook a few more good dishes, I want to invite the gods to eat wine today!"
When the table was set and I sat down, I saw a woman walking out of the room with a small vermilion altar in her hand, followed by a big fat boy with a tiger head.
The woman put down the wine and turned to go back to the house, not daring to look up at Yuan Qing all the time, but the fat boy was quite bold, and his little eyes were rolling straight up, and he kept looking up and down.
Seeing this, Yuan Qing couldn't help sighing: "With a flick of your fingers, I didn't expect you to even have a family." ”
Zhu Zi smiled and replied: "I met my mother-in-law on the way to escape, and I saw that she was a strange and pitiful person, so I helped, and then fled to Qingzhou Mansion together." I only got married two years ago, and it didn't take long for me to give birth to a big fat boy. ”
The wine was already full as he spoke, and the pillar picked up the porcelain bowl and said loudly: "Brother Yuan, no matter what you say, you have saved the lives of all the officers and soldiers in Xin'an City, I respect you!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank a fine drink.
Yuan Qing saw that he was bold, so he naturally didn't twist it, and he also raised his head and drank it all.
As the name suggests, the wine is spicy and piercing the throat, like a burning knife through the abdomen, and the fire pierces the intestines, but it is steaming for the melting heat in a moment, and it rushes out to the top.
"Good wine!" Yuan Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, praised in a deep voice, and after speaking, he filled another bowl and dried it up again.
After a bowl of belly, Zhuzi's face was already red, his eyes were drunk, and when he saw Yuan Qing drinking again, he was stubborn, not to be outdone, and drank another bowl
If it is three bowls, the man will be unsustainable in the end, and with a "bang", he will be drunk on the table, unconscious.
When the fat boy heard the sound, he ran out, shook his father, and screamed twice, but without any reaction, he turned to Yuan Qing, and was not afraid of life, and asked crisply: "Old fairy, what's wrong with my father?"
"Your father was drunk and fell asleep. Yuan Qing replied with a smile.
"Oh," the little fat man nodded, and then asked, "Then when will he wake up, my mother said that there will be dinner in a while." ”
"Tomorrow morning he will wake up. Yuan Qing replied while pouring wine.
"Oh," the little fat man tilted his head and stared at the wine in Yuanqing's bowl, motionless.
After a while, he finally couldn't hold it back, he took two steps forward, blinked, and asked curiously, "Old fairy, is this delicious?"
Yuan Qing smiled slightly: "It's delicious." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the fat boy actually picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip, but the next moment he was so spicy that he cried, and he sat on the ground with a few tears, his little face was red, and he swayed, and after a while, he fell asleep.
The woman hurried out when she heard the cry, and saw that the big and the young were all drunk like mud, and couldn't help but get angry, but because of Yuan Qing's presence, she pressed down, picked up the child and turned around, leaving the pillar, the sky was the quilt, the ground was the seat, and the snoring was like thunder.
Yuan Qing shook his head with a smile, drank the last bowl, and then took the invisibility trick, summoned the Water Breaking Sword, and the sword went straight to the Qing Ming.
At the beginning of the night, the evening breeze was slow, the young man's clothes were flying, and the lights under his feet were thousands.
"It was a green lantern that didn't return, but because of the turbid wine and the dust, it's just that, that's it. ”
......
Next.
Approaching noon, the pillar snorted, woke up leisurely, looked around, and Yuan Qing was no longer visible, and he was lying in the backyard, covered with a thin quilt.
I rolled up the quilt and went into the back room, but I didn't see my wife and children, nor did I see any food, only a bowl of gruel on the dining table.
The man scratched his head, didn't care about anything else, picked up the porridge bowl and poured it into his mouth indiscriminately, and then didn't clean it up, so he went straight to the shop.
Pushing open the shop door, I suddenly found that the tailor shop opposite had changed to a bookstore at some point, with tea and cigarettes.
There is a plaque hanging on the door screen, with a red edge and an ink background, and three gilded characters of "Shujian Ju" are written on it.
In the bookstore, the boy hung his wrist and held a pen, waving arbitrarily.
