Chapter 404: Red Heart Grass
Huang Fengyan told Xu Dong that in fact, he also knew about the demon beast's revenge on the monk, because that incident was once rumored, but he didn't expect that Xing senior was living in seclusion in Taishou Mountain, otherwise he would have visited him a long time ago.
Xu Dong suddenly remembered something, "I seem to have heard Senior Xing mention the matter of the demon hunting team, and he also knows that Taishou Mountain has a professional team of eight people, but the two of you have not had a chance to meet so far." ”
Huang Fengyan shook his head and said, "There are too many people living in seclusion in Taishou Mountain, since they are in seclusion, they will hide their true identity, maybe I have seen the person you said, but I don't know that he is Xing Yu, the 'gate' master of the previous Taiyue 'gate'." ”
Xu Dong led Huang Fengyan to see Xing Yu, and as soon as the two met, they immediately greeted each other, and it could be seen that Xing Yu was a little lukewarm to Huang Fengyan, and he was not as enthusiastic as he saw an old acquaintance.
Xing Yu called Huang Fengyan "Death", but Huang Fengyan called Xing Yu "Strange Old Man", saying that Xing Yu was "weird" because he had been wandering around the mountains all year round, but he had never seen him set up a formation to hunt demons, but it seemed that he was the protector of demon beasts.
Huang Fengyan arched his hand towards Xing Yu, "As soon as I heard that Senior Xing was living in seclusion in Taishou Mountain, I thought that it was you 'strange old man', and when the meeting was confirmed, Senior Xing, you won't blame me for visiting abruptly." ”
Xing Yu said coldly, "Since you are here, I don't have any reason to let you eat the 'door' soup, but I will say it to the end, the two of us can talk however we want, but there will be no cooperation between the two." ”
Huang Fengyan said, "Senior Xing, I heard that you have a plan to 'trap' and kill demon beasts, and I came here this time to discuss cooperation with you, but I don't understand why my predecessor said this." ”
Xing Yu said resolutely, "Huang Fengyan, do you know why you have the nickname of 'Grim Reaper', and what do you want me to say more, don't you use your own brain to think about it, I won't cooperate with your 'Grim Reaper'." ”
Xu Dong was taken aback, he didn't expect Xing Yu to have such a deep prejudice against Huang Fengyan, it seems that he shouldn't have the idea of promoting tripartite cooperation at all, and he shouldn't have brought Huang Fengyan to see Xing Yu.
Huang Fengyan is still working hard, "Master Xing', you may have misunderstood me Huang in some things, you are my Huang's predecessor in terms of age, I can say Xing's senior, can you allow me to make some excuses as a junior." ”
Xing Yu said, "How many loyal ministers and good generals have you caught when you were an eagle dog in the court of Longcheng Kingdom before, so that all decent people are afraid to see you, and secretly call you 'Death', didn't the souls of those people come to settle accounts with you." ”
Huang Fengyan was about to defend himself, when the bald monk who had been standing outside the 'door' suddenly came in and clasped his fists at Xing Yu, "Senior Xing, I don't need my master to speak now, I'll make some explanations for my master." ”
He continued, "When my master was in front of a small county magistrate, he showed a genius for judging cases, but in fact, he had no intention of entering the imperial court to become a big official, he just wanted to keep one side peaceful, and at the same time transfer his 'essence' to cultivation. ”
"But the emperor took a fancy to him and transferred him to the court as the minister of the criminal department, but in fact, he used his previous name of integrity to be a butcher's knife for the court to kill, so he had the nickname of 'Death'. ”
Xing Yu said sharply, "If he Huang Fengyan is a foolish official, it's fine, but the hateful thing is that he is sober and does foolish things, shouldn't he be even more scornful of this kind of person who is willing to be an eagle dog for the imperial court." ”
The bald monk said, "My master is also forced to do so, because his family is in the hands of the emperor, and if he doesn't do it according to the will of the court, his family will have 'sexual' life worries." ”
"When my master was an official in the imperial court, he endured the torment in his heart every day, so he resigned from the official position and was willing to go to Taishou Mountain to hunt demons, and regularly 'handed' the number of demon pills to the emperor, so as to ensure the safety of his family. ”
The bald monk's words touched Xing Yu a little, but he didn't soften his tone at all, "What you say may only be believed by you and your master, and there is a third person who believes it." ”
At this time, all the members of the demon hunting team came in from outside the 'door' and said good things to Huang Fengyan, "Senior Xing, what the leper monk said is indeed true, and we can all testify." ”
"Senior Xing, you just agree to cooperate with us, if you can't 'hand' over twenty demon pills to the court within seven days, the court will use this as a reason to convict Senior Huang, Senior Huang can escape by himself, but his family will be all finished. ”
"Also, Senior Xing, you can also figure out that the emperor is just dissatisfied with Senior Huang, and he is bent on giving Senior Huang a trumped-up charge, and this time he may have to seize the opportunity. ”
Huang Fengyan arched his hand to Xing Yu again, "Senior Xing, I am a junior in front of you, and these people are also juniors in front of me, I have no reason to lie in front of my seniors and juniors, please listen to my last sentence." ”
"To be honest, I also know who these subordinates are, they were all sent by the imperial court to spy on me, and since they are willing to stand up and speak for me, it proves that my personality is not so bad. ”
Xu Dong said, "Senior Xing, don't you have a plan to hunt demon beasts, saying that you want to arrange three big arrays separately to exterminate these three demon beast families in one fell swoop, I, wouldn't it be better for you and Senior Huang to cooperate with each other and implement this plan as soon as possible." ”
Xing Yu obviously loosened, he waved his hand at everyone, "You all quit for the time being, let me think about it for the next two days, and listen to my reply the day after tomorrow." ”
Although they were a little helpless, they had to listen to Xing Yu, and everyone withdrew from Xing Yu's thatched house, found a mountain 'hole' halfway up the mountain to live, and patiently waited for the two days to pass.
The bald monk said, "Master, is this 'strange old man' reliable, in case he refuses to cooperate with us, haven't we waited in vain in the past two days, I think, we might as well go out and set up a formation, and maybe we can 'get' a few demon pills." ”
Huang Fengyan thought for a while and said, "No, if we go out to set up a formation, Senior Xing will blame us for not trusting him enough, and he knows that we are counting on him, so he will make up his mind to help us." ”
Xu Dong is also thinking about making two preparations, he wants to find another person to replace Huang Fengyan, so that he will not hang himself on a tree, in case Xing Yu does not agree to cooperate with Huang Fengyan two days later, he can also have a way to help Huang Fengyan.
He searched in his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, because there were very few people who could set up large formations, which were not something ordinary people could do, and even those who specialized in formation could only set up some medium and small formations.
After working for a while, he finally gave up this idea, and thought of persuading Xing Yu again, he came to Xing Yu's thatched house, and only Xing Yu's wife Wen Xiaoyue met him.
Xu Dong asked, "Senior Wen, where has the master of Xing's 'Gate' gone?" ”
Wen Xiaoyue pointed to the cliff above her head and said, "He went up the mountain early in the morning to collect 'medicine', in fact, there are a lot of 'medicines' at home, and for some reason, he said that he would pick some fresh 'medicine' herbs and come back." ”
Xu Dong also felt strange, didn't Xing Yu say that he had thought about it at home for the past two days, and then decided not to cooperate with Huang Fengyan, but he went to the mountains to collect 'medicine', where did he come from such leisure.
returned to the mountain 'cave' and spent the night, and the next day he came to the thatched house to look for Xing Yu, but Xing Yu was still not there, Wen Xiaoyue said that he was the same as yesterday, and he went up the mountain at dawn.
Wen Xiaoyue said, "The old man is really a bit strange in the past two days, he didn't pick a single 'medicine' all day yesterday, and today he went out early in the morning, what kind of spiritual 'medicine' is so important, it has to be picked in these two days." ”
Xu Dong also felt that Xing Yu was a little weird, he went out early and returned late for two days in a row, and he didn't know what to do, he couldn't guess Xing Yu's thoughts, and he didn't know if he had any intention of cooperating with Huang Fengyan.
In order to 'figure out', he used his magic technique to go to a mountain, opened the sea of knowledge to check, searched one peak after another, and finally found Xing Yu's figure on a cliff.
Xing Yu climbed a wisteria in one hand and hung his body to the cliff, and with the other hand he held a 'medicine' shovel digging up a kind of spiritual 'medicine', and every time he dug up a spiritual 'medicine', he put the spiritual 'medicine' into a box.
Xu Dong looked at Xing Yu's careful appearance of putting the 'medicine' into the box, and knew that this kind of spiritual 'medicine' must be very valuable, or extremely rare, and he couldn't guess why Xing Yu was in a hurry to find this spiritual 'medicine' in the past two days.
On the third day, everyone came to Xing Yu's thatched house early, Wen Xiaoyue said that Xing Yu was still sleeping, and asked them to wait for the old man to wake up before going to see him, so everyone had to stand outside the 'door' and wait for Xing Yu to wake up.
Unexpectedly, Xing Yu slept very deeply this night, and he didn't wake up until the sun reached the top, and everyone continued to endure the 'sex' and wait, and when the sun was setting in the west, Xing Yu woke up and 'rubbed' his eyes.
Xu Dong and Huang Fengyan hurriedly walked into the house, but when they came to Xing Yu's 'bed' couch, they found that Xing Yu didn't really wake up just now, but just turned over and went to sleep, snoring evenly from his mouth and nose.
This is bitter for the ten people who are waiting for him to wake up, Xing Yu has opened a valley by himself so that he can not eat and drink, but everyone has not eaten a mouthful of food all day, and their stomachs are so hungry that their front 'chest' is attached to their backs, and they have to wait endlessly.
Hunger can still be endured, waiting for Xing Yu's reply was about to collapse, someone whispered, "This 'strange old man' is weird, if you can't give us a reply, you will have to wait for us to die." ”
Huang Fengyan hurriedly stopped this person and told everyone to keep their mouths shut, not to let Senior Xing and his wife see their impetuousness, no matter how long Senior Xing slept, they had to wait for him to wake up without complaint.
When the sun went down, Xing Yu finally woke up yawning, he walked out vigorously, glanced at everyone and said, "You have been waiting for me all day, you are hungry, tell Mrs. to hurry up and start eating." ”
I don't know when, Wen Xiaoyue prepared a table of sumptuous meals, and everyone couldn't help but swallow a few saliva as they looked at the steaming meal.
Huang Fengyan didn't forget his own business, he asked Xing Yu anxiously, "Senior Xing, junior is waiting for your reply, can I do that." ”
Xing Yu said, "You let them eat and drink enough first, sleep well tonight, and follow me up the mountain tomorrow after raising the 'spirit' spirit, I have everything ready, just wait to take out the demon pill after hunting the demon beast." ”
