Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Taoist Leader Helps
The breeze is refreshing, the willows on the shore are still clinging, the morning sun shines in the rushing stream, and the water surface is shining.
Yun Xuan and Fang Mo walked to the granite bridge in the creek in front of the village, and turned around to see the people behind them, including Zhao Peng's brothers and sisters, as well as Yun Xuan's mother and Xiao Yunxi.
In the distance, you can see Zhao Er, who is standing on the fence and looking this way, and Ah Xiang who is standing at the entrance of the village.
"Mother, just send it here, I'll take care of myself. ”
Yun Xuan looked at his mother, and he was so reluctant to fill his heart, just sending you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell in the end, he barely held back the emotions in his heart, and smiled faintly at his mother, making the atmosphere as relaxed as possible.
"Yun Xuan, don't be strong when you go outside, you must come back. Mother said.
Yun Xi stood aside, handed Xiao Bai in his arms to Yun Xuan, and said, "Brother, Xiao Bai will give it to you." You have to take care of it, Xiaobai likes to eat chicken legs, you have to buy chicken legs for it. ”
"Hmm. Yun Xuan touched Yun Xi's red face and took Xiao Bai.
"You remember to wash your hands before eating. Yunxi said.
"Remember to buy me lanterns when you come back. ”
Yun Xuan bent down and lowered his head against Yun Xi's forehead and said, "Well, my brother must remember." I'm not at home, you have to listen to my mother. ”
Yun Xuan is most at ease is his sister Yun Xi, since he was a child, Yun Xi grew up by his side, and he can take care of some big and small things by his side, but now that he is gone, there will be a lot less care and care around his sister.
"My brother will be back soon. Yun Xuan looked at Yun Xi with a doting smile on his face.
Zhao Peng's family had gone back, Yun Xuan walked across the stone bridge, looking back at the other end of the small bridge, Yun Xi was holding his mother's arms with both hands, looking back at Yun Xuan, who was waving to him.
"I'll be back soon. Yun Xuan waved his hand to his mother, turned around, cleared the sadness in his heart, and walked into the forest in front of him with Zhao Peng.
After walking for a while, Yun Xuan felt as if someone was following behind, he looked back and didn't see anyone behind.
He kept an eye on it, and continued to walk forward, listening to the footsteps of himself and Zhao Peng, in addition to the footsteps of the two, there was clearly another cautious noise.
As soon as Yun Xuan turned around, he saw a figure more than ten meters behind him quickly shrinking into the bushes on the side of the road.
"Zhao Er, I saw you, come out quickly. Yun Xuan shouted.
Zhao Er walked out of the roadside Shi Shiran, stood aside, looked sideways at the sky, crooked his mouth and held a dogtail in his mouth, and his hands were crossed on his waist.
"Zhao Er, why are you following us?" Zhao Peng frowned and looked at Zhao Er, he had a lot of small fights with Zhao Er on weekdays, and when he saw him coming out after him, he thought that this Zhao Er must have bad intentions.
Zhao Er squinted at Zhao Peng and Yun Xuan, and said, "Who said that I followed you, I went out to apprentice." ”
Zhao Peng didn't believe Zhao Er's words, and said, "Apprentice, whose teacher, did you sneak after us just now, did you want to steal our things while we weren't paying attention?"
Zhao Er crossed his waist, twisted his steps, sighed proudly, and said, "Ha, stealing your things? Who doesn't know that I, Zhao Er, am famous for not stealing things from people in my village." Besides, I don't like the bit of broken copper and iron on your body. ”
Yun Xuan didn't like Zhao Er either, so naturally he didn't like Zhao Er to follow, but the two were from the same village, if Zhao Er followed them outside and something happened, the two of them would be blamed by the villagers.
So he said, "Then what do you want to do? Zhao Peng and I are going to Yu Xuanzong on this trip, the road is far away, and the time for Yu Xuanzong to screen disciples has passed. You'd better go back. ”
Zhao Er said: "I said I was going to apprentice." What is Yu Xuanzong, there are a lot of gangs outside that are more powerful than Yu Zong. Oh, you are allowed to learn martial arts, but I am not allowed to learn it?"
"Then which sect do you want to join?" Yun Xuan asked, he was a little curious if Zhao Er also worshipped under which sect.
Zhao Er pursed his lips and said, "You can't control that sect? Anyway, I will be able to enter when the time comes." ”
"That's okay, Zhao Peng, let's go. ”
Yun Xuan listened to Zhao Er's words, and knew that he really couldn't control the other party, and walked ahead with Zhao Peng quickly for a while, and slowly for a while.
Zhao Er followed behind them, and walked slowly and quickly for a while.
Zhao Peng turned around and said, "Zhao Er, why are you still with us?"
"Hey, you didn't drive this road, I can go as far as I like?" Zhao Er replied in the back.
Zhao Peng was held back and looked at Yun Xuan.
Yun Xuan patted Zhao Peng's shoulder and said, "Whatever he wants, let's go ours." ”
The three of them continued to walk forward, and when they reached a three-way intersection in the mountains and forests, Yun Xuan faintly heard a strange hissing sound, and he suddenly stopped and said to Zhao Peng: "Wait a minute, did you hear anything, it seems that something is following us." ”
Zhao Peng looked at Zhao Er. said, "Didn't Zhao Er follow behind?"
The vitality in Yun Xuan's body was already equivalent to the sixth layer of the Condensation Realm, and his soul had reached the middle stage of the Mortal Soul Realm after being practiced once by the Qing Ming's Soul Refining Flame, and his sense of the surrounding environment was much sharper than Zhao Peng's.
He looked around suspiciously, and said, "It's not Zhao Er, it's another voice." ”
Yun Xuan's heart was very sure, he could still distinguish Zhao Er's voice, and what he heard was like the sound of something shuttling through the forest.
Yun Xuan looked around vigilantly.
"Help me. Suddenly, Zhao Er's cry for help came from behind,
As soon as Yun Xuan turned around, he saw that Zhao Er was tied to his waist by two vines, struggling to hang himself from the tree.
He was shocked and wanted to save him.
"Hahaha. A strange laugh came from the forest in all directions, "The kid is quite careful. ”
"Who's it? Yun Xuan shouted.
Xiaobai screamed twice towards the forest on the side.
Yun Xuan held the iron rod in his hand and looked around vigilantly with Zhao Peng.
"Your pet is so spiritual that he can find my whereabouts. Voices came from all sides again.
Xiao Bai shouted twice to the side just now, and Yun Xuan looked in the direction of Xiao Bai's call: "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Boy, we've actually met. The voice fell, and out of the forest came a demonic white-faced middle-aged man wearing a brown robe, holding a green bun, and the long ends of his hair hanging down on both sides.
Yun Xuan looked at the middle-aged man with a bewitching smile in front of him and asked, "Why don't I know you?" ”
"Help me. At this time, Zhao Er shouted hanging on the tree.
Yun Xuan and Zhao Peng didn't move for a while, the man in front of them looked very strange and needed to be careful.
As he walked, the man glanced at Zhao Er on the tree, brushed the hair on both sides with his hands, and said with a smile: "It's not surprising that I don't know me, it's enough for me to know you." ”
"You also saw that your friend was tied to a tree by me, and it only needs you to answer me one answer. I let him go. ”
"Answer, what answer?" Yun Xuan saw the man coming over and slowly retreated.
"You just have to tell me where that lotus flower went?" said the man in a weird manner, the fingers of his right hand were half-pinched, and his index finger nodded towards Yun Xuan.
"Lotus, I don't know what lotus?" Yun Xuan said, he really didn't know what lotus was, he hadn't even heard of it before.
The man looked at Yun Xuan sideways, and chuckled a little disdainfully: "Hmph, don't pretend to be confused." A few days ago, you were the only one who lived in the small courtyard outside Fallen Leaf City, and the lotus flower disappeared after you left. ”
"Say, where did that lotus flower go? Or are you hiding it and trying to use it for yourself?"
Yun Xuan heard the man say about the courtyard outside the fallen leaf city, and immediately thought of the lotus viewing small building, lotus flower? Could it be that the man was referring to Qingli. Qing Li is on him, and he must not let the man in front of him know.
"Senior, you have found the wrong person, I really don't know what you are talking about Lotus. Yun Xuan said calmly.
"I won't be wrong, boy, you don't eat toast, eat and drink. I wanted to speak politely, but now it seems that if you don't use any means, you won't say it. The man glared at Yun Xuan angrily, his fingers formed claws, and his arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed Yun Xuan.
Yun Xuan saw the moody demon man in front of him stretching out his hand and grabbing it, his heart was shocked, and he was about to defend.
Suddenly, there was a loud laugh in the woods.
"Hahaha, the old demon of the green vine is annoyed and ashamed!"
The man hurriedly withdrew his hand that was grabbing Yun Xuan, and turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from: "Who is it that dares to laugh at me?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a white-bearded old Taoist priest flew out of the forest on the trunk of a tree with his left hand on the Buddha dust, and landed on the side of the road opposite the white-faced man.
"Hahaha, it turned out to be you, the old Taoist priest of Qinghua Mountain, I thought you didn't want that lotus flower, but I didn't expect to chase it. ”
Yun Xuan was shocked when he heard that the man in front of him was a green vine old demon, pulled Zhao Peng, and took three steps back.
The old demon of the green vine actually looks like this, and he is specially tracking him, the old demon of the green vine is notorious, how is it good now.
When he saw that the person who appeared was an old Taoist, he was relieved at first, and this time he was saved, but he heard the old demon of the green vine say that this old Taoist priest was also here for Qingli, and his heart was even more shocked.
Qingli's two opponents are here.
When Yun Xuan's heart was turbulent, the yin and yang strange voice of the old demon of the green vine came again: "Since you are also here for the lotus, why don't we join forces?" I see that this kid knows where the lotus flower is going. ”
After the demonic man finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Xuan with a sly smile.
The white-bearded old Taoist priest glanced at the scene, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, since our goal is all lotus, it's okay to unite temporarily." ”
Yun Xuan's heart sank even more when he heard the words of the Taoist priest, he originally still had a glimmer of hope for the old Taoist priest, hoping that even if the old Taoist priest came to find the lotus, he could at least eliminate the demon and defend the Dao and deal with the vine demon, but now he joined forces with the old demon of the green vine.
Are all the stories of the Demon Eradication Guardian Deception?
"Senior, this green vine old demon has sucked the blood of many people and killed many people. Please get rid of it, and I'll tell you the secret. Yun Xuan's heart turned sharply, now he has to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, see if he can provoke it.
"Boy, you should quickly tell the hiding place of that lotus, as long as you say it, for the sake of you and I are both human races, I can promise not to embarrass you and your friends. ”
The old Taoist priest of Qinghua Mountain said as he walked towards the old demon of the green vine.
Just when he was about to get close to the old demon of green vine, suddenly he swept away the dust of the Buddha, and a yellow light shot out from the dust of the Buddha, rushing towards the old demon of green vine.
At this time, the vine demon just opened its mouth and spit out a green light, hitting the white-bearded old Taoist priest, and the two rays of light collided in the air.
"Boom"
The air was agitated, the wind rose suddenly, Yun Xuan was rushed back four steps, but Zhao Peng was rushed back seven steps in a row, and fell to the ground.
After Yun Xuan stood firm, he hurriedly used his hands to protect himself, as well as Xiao Bai on his shoulder, and after the wind subsided, he looked at the vine demon and the Taoist priest.
When the old Taoist priest and the green vine old demon collided with each other, they each jumped backwards three times and looked at each other.
"Hahaha. The old demon of the green vine laughed wildly, "Old Taoist priest Wang Xuzi, if you don't change your actions back then, do you think you can fool me with just a few words? If I were so easy to calculate, I wouldn't be able to live now." ”
The old Taoist priest Wang Xuzi squinted, stroked his white beard, and said, "Green vine old demon, let's be with each other, aren't you also thinking about plotting against me?"
The old demon of the green vine raised his head slightly, looked down at Yun Xuan and the others, and then looked at the old Taoist priest, and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense, the secret is on that kid." You and I might as well let go of the estrangement and get the whereabouts of the lotus flower from that kid. ”
Wang Xuzi's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "Green vine old demon, I didn't hurt you just now, and when it comes to this, I might as well say it directly." That kid was right. How many people's lives have you carried over the years, and how many people's essence and blood are contained in your flesh and blood now?"
"So, you don't want to join forces with me? You may not be the opponent of the lotus. The old demon of the green vine frowned and said.
Wang Xuzi laughed and said, "United? I can deal with this kid alone, and I can also clean up the lotus, wouldn't it be beautiful for me to enjoy it alone, why do I need to unite with you? However, if you want to unite, you can also do it." You should have a vine heart in you, give me a little first, and then how about we join forces?"
The old demon of the green vine listened to the words of the old Taoist priest, and was dissatisfied in his heart: "You want my vine heart? ”
"Hahaha, ahahaha. ”
The old demon suddenly laughed.
"Hiss. He suddenly stretched out his long tongue and licked half of his face: "I haven't tasted monk's blood for a long time, and I still can't forget that taste." Today I will taste your blood. ”
