Chapter 89, the first meeting of the old man

[February 14, 10th year of Daqian Jingyi, Chenshi, Xu Mansion Back Garden]

Xu Ke was practicing his sword, and suddenly saw a person stabbing at him with a sword, he immediately didn't think twice, the sword was on the body, and he greeted it with a move "Break the gold and cut off the water!" The dry branch in his hand made a "snort" sound of breaking the air under the agitation of the sword qi, and a long sword in the opponent's hand was actually swept away by his sword qi. The man called out the word "good" again, pulled out his foot and flashed right, avoiding Xu Ke's fierce sword qi, the long sword drew a semicircle, the tip of the sword trembled lightly left and right, and handed it to Xu Ke's upper body......

Although Xu Ke had a withered branch in his hand, he was not afraid at all, and his backhand was another trick to "open the wood and swing the fire". I saw that the sword qi was swaying all over the sky, like rain and fire, and forced the opponent's long sword made of fine iron to slide aside. He didn't wait for the opponent's sword to be used, and then "Tear the earth and break the gold!" and strike out again......

In this way, Xu Ke only relied on a withered branch in his hand, and he attacked himself, forcing the other party to defend himself with a sword, and constantly dodging, so that he could avoid his fierce sword aura. In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought for more than 20 moves in a row, and the person opposite Xu Ke, no matter how the long sword in his hand changed, he was never able to reverse the defensive position. At this time, if there is someone watching the battle next to him, compared with the blades in the hands of the two, it is obvious that the person has lost.

The man suddenly volleyed a backward leap in the air, and as soon as his feet were established, he clasped his fists and saluted Xu Ke, laughing loudly:

"Little brother, I haven't seen you for many years, I can't imagine that your swordsmanship has been perfected! Sure enough, you are a hero from ancient times, congratulations, hahaha!"

Xu Ke also abandoned the dead branches, and hurriedly bowed to the man and said, "Brother Junxian, I haven't seen you for many years, but you want to kill me!"

With that, the two hugged each other and laughed.

The person who came was Li Junxian, who was the former official worshipping Zuo Wuwei Grand Prize Army and Wulian Township Gong. Xu Ke recognized the other party when Li Junxian took out his sword. When he saw that Brother Jun Xian was fighting with his sword, he couldn't bear to sweep away the other party's interest. Therefore, he accompanied Li Junxian to compare more than 20 moves, until the other party jumped out of the battle circle, and then he came forward to recognize him.

In fact, before Xu Ke crossed over, he and Li Junxian had only been separated for a month. However, he didn't know how long he had been in the Divine King Pavilion, and besides, he really missed this big brother in his heart. Now that the two of them are reunited, they really feel like they have been separated for a long time......

"Little brother, you are very good, very remarkable!" Li Junxian hugged Xu Ke's shoulder, and for some reason, his eyes were already slightly moist......

"Brother Junxian, let's go sit in the pavilion, I have a lot to say to you!" Xu Ke hurriedly pulled Li Junxian, and the two of them went to Wenyu Pavilion to sit down.

Xu Ke brought two bowls of hot water, which were regarded as two cups of tea.

Xu Ke looked at the eldest brother in front of him, and saw that his phoenix eyes were burning like meteors, his two long eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, the bridge of his nose was like a mountain, and his broad forehead was like a plain. On his square face, except for inadvertently revealing the vicissitudes of the years, he could hardly find any excess fat...... Even if he has been in the demonized world for ten years, Li Junxian at this time is still so handsome and handsome, and he is a beautiful man!

"I didn't expect that the guest that Brother He Mao said was actually you, Brother Junxian!" Xu Ke took a sip of hot water and said with a smile.

"Oh, I'm here today, has anyone already calculated it in advance? Who is this 'Brother He Mao'?" Li Junxian asked with a smile after drinking several sips of hot water.

Xu Ke said: "Speaking of this benevolent brother, he is really a strange person, his name is He Mao Zhongxing, he is a person from the Sang country in the east of the sea, in the Sang country, he is known as the 'first onmyoji'. ”

Li Junxian couldn't help but praise: "Speaking of which, I just arrived in Chang'an today, and when I passed by Liquanfang, I suddenly wanted to come in to see my little brother." I didn't expect that my impromptu move could be expected by him in advance, this person is really a strange person!"

Xu Ke asked: "Brother Junxian, I heard that you and Daochang Li have been sitting in Suzhou. How have you been doing in the past 10 years? Have you all come to Chang'an today?"

Li Junxian nodded and said, "Brother Li Dao and I have been staying in Suzhou. The conditions in Suzhou are better than those in Xuchang City. In the past 10 years, thanks to God's blessing, we have finally survived! In addition to not being able to eat fresh melons, fruits, vegetables, and vegetables, we have eaten all kinds of animal meat! Now that the world has just regained its vitality, Brother Li Dao is anxious to rush back to Chang'an to rebuild the Xuandu Temple. Today, I'll come back with Brother Dao......"

"That'...... What about Daochang Li?" asked Xu Ke.

"He's not going to come, he's about to come to Xuandu Temple at this moment, right?" Li Junxian said.

"I heard that Daoist Li has a lot of opinions about me? I don't know why?" Xu Ke asked. He remembered that when he was in Xuchang Tucheng before, Murong Yan had told him that Li Chunfeng in this world was extremely disgusted with him Xu Ke, and when he saw him, he not only scolded him, but even spit on him......

"Brother Dao, he ...... I have some prejudices about the previous 'you'......" Li Junxian said apologetically: "I told Brother Dao just now that the little brother at this time is no longer the little brother of this world, but Brother Li Dao still doesn't want to come over......"

Xu Keqi said: "Brother Junxian, do you also know that I came from ten years ago?"

Li Junxian smiled and said: "Of course I know! The 'you' of this world have talked to me many times, saying that 'you' can go back in the Divine King Pavilion and wear it to the future...... With your experiences in the Divine King Pavilion, I would have known it for a long time!"

Xu Ke immediately asked again: "So...... Brother Junxian, do you know where that 'me' is ten years later?"

"Ahem!" Li Junxian suddenly sighed, his face turned solemn, and he said slowly: "The 'you' of this world...... He is no longer alive. ”

"I know, he went to Heavenly Court...... Xu Ke then asked: "However, what I can't figure out is why he came to Heavenly Court and never returned to the mortal world?

At this time, Xu Ke was thinking in his heart, according to my nature, if there are such four women waiting for me in the world, even if I am given the position of Jade Emperor, I will not go to the rare, not to mention, it is just an ordinary immortal position?

Li Junxian glanced at Xu Ke, the words came to his lips, but he stopped again, he immediately got up, patted the dust on his body, and said indifferently:

"Little brother, thank you for your tea today, it's not too early now, I'm leaving!

Xu Ke saw that Li Junxian wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly felt something different. He suddenly remembered what He Mao Zhongxing said three days ago, hurriedly grabbed Li Junxian's clothes, and said urgently:

"Jun Xian

Big brother, where did the 'me' of this world go? How is he doing at this time? I hope Brother Jun Xian will tell you the truth!"

"This ...... I don't know!" Li Junxian touched his nose and hesitated.

Xu Ke still clung to Li Junxian's shirt and said to himself: "Brother Junxian, since you have arrived here, why do you have to hide it? If Big Brother doesn't tell the truth today, I won't let you go!"

Li Junxian smiled bitterly and said: "Little brother, why are you playing a scoundrel with me? You are a passer-by who has crossed over, I advise you not to worry about those idle things, stay for a few more days, or return to your original world as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Li Junxian still turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and wanted to stride away......

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke rushed out and grabbed Li Junxian's arm, no matter how he broke free, he just refused to let him leave.

At the end, Li Junxian said helplessly: "Little brother, when I first met you ten years ago, you weren't like this! Why are you like a resentful woman today, refusing to let me go out?!"

Xu Ke was also a scoundrel to the end, he grabbed Li Junxian's right arm and said, "Brother Junxian, ten years ago, you were an honest gentleman who could say anything. How can you be like a negative gentleman today, talking and spitting, and still wanting to talk?"

Li Junxian almost cried: "Little brother, I can't talk about you in terms of eloquence, in the end...... What do you want to know?"

"Where is the 'I' in this world? Why did he refuse to return to Chang'an? Why did he go to Heaven at that time, could it be...... Is it really just to be an immortal?" Xu Ke asked.

"Ahem, why do you know this? These things have nothing to do with you in the first place...... Li Junxian replied.

"I want to know!" Xu Ke said earnestly.

"Little brother, listen to Brother Fool's words, you better activate the Cloud Shadow Bead as early as possible and go back to your God King Pavilion as soon as possible! Everything that happens in this world is caused and effected, every drink and peck, all are the leading edges, every grass and tree, all are determined by heaven! After you know it, you can't change it, and in the end, it will only increase your sadness...... "Li Junxian said in a hurry.

"Brother Junxian, just say it happily!" Xu Ke said.

"Ahem, little brother, I really regret it, I knew you were so difficult, I shouldn't have come to your house today!" Li Junxian couldn't help but sigh.

"But you're already here!" Xu Ke said.

"Okay, little brother, I've also convinced you! No wonder Brother Li Dao didn't let me come to your house today, it turned out that he had already calculated that if I came in, I would definitely be relied on by you...... cough! This is probably my cause and effect!" Li Junxian sighed, so he had to turn around, and sat down in the Wenyu Pavilion again, telling all the answers that Xu Ke had been seeking in his heart.

......

......

Almost at the same time, Hu Yiyi had also entered the gate of Xu's house and walked towards the back garden......

Prior to this, Hu Yiyi, Yiqing, and Yao Zibei had already walked out of the gate of Tianbao Pavilion and walked all the way back to Xu's house. The three women walked slowly, smiling and smiling, and the smiles on their faces were like a hundred flowers blooming.

Early this morning, as soon as the three women arrived at the gate of Tianbao Pavilion, Dongshan, who was guarding the door, saw that Xu Ke did not come, and immediately welcomed all three of her into the mansion.

At this time, in the Tianbao Pavilion, there was a busy scene everywhere, and Dongshan took three women, turning left and right all the way, and came to a courtyard that had just been repaired. As soon as the three girls stepped into the courtyard gate, they saw Murong Yan sitting on a stone bench with a worried face.

"Third sister, so you're here!" Yao Zibei reacted the fastest, and when he saw this, he was the first to pounce and hugged Murong Yan's body. When the four sisters saw each other in a different place, they immediately hugged each other and smashed each other, and they were inexplicably happy.

Dongshan poured four bowls of warm water for the women, and then retreated.

After the four sisters got together, they shushed each other for a while, and talked non-stop. Later, the three sisters naturally asked Murong Yan why they didn't let them in to see each other for three days in a row?

Murong Yan also looked quite aggrieved, and immediately explained the reason. It turned out that my brother Murong Huan somehow refused to let her meet Xu Ke again. He instructed the people in the entire mansion to shirk if Xu Ke came. She has been accustomed to obeying her second brother since she was a child, and she has no choice but to obey it these days......

After Yiqing heard this, he was immediately angry, complaining that Murong Huan was too domineering and domineering. Hu Yiyi only smiled bitterly twice, and said that since the Lord of Murong Pavilion ordered so, he must have his reasons, and the third sister will be patient for the past few days, and after a while, she will ask the reason clearly, and then it will not be too late to make a calculation......

While the four women were talking, a slender and well-groomed woman walked in outside the door. After Hu Yiyi, Yiqing and Yao Zibei saw each other, they didn't feel very familiar. I only heard the woman salute Murong Yan and said, "Miss, the housekeeper asked me to ask, what do you want to eat at noon?"

"It's just like yesterday!" Murong Yan said with a smile.

The woman turned around and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Murong Yan, who smiled and introduced to the sisters: "Xiao Yu, these are my sisters, you come and get to know them!"

"Xiao Yu has seen Sister Lien!" the woman saluted Hu Yiyi and the others again.

"Xiao Yu?" All the girls couldn't help but exclaim together: "You are the little jade girl that night?!"

"That night? When was it ?......" At this moment, it was the turn of this "Xiaoyu" to be confused, she looked at Hu Yiyi and the others, with a blank expression, and said in her heart, I have never seen you?

Murong Yan smiled, pulled Xiao Yu to her side, and said to the sisters, "Miss Xiao Yu is now my godsister. Zibei, in terms of seniority, she should call you 'Fourth Sister'!"

Yao Zibei clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I finally have a sister!"

Xiao Yu bowed his head and said, "Miss, I'm just your maid, how dare I ...... with Miss?"

Murong Yan immediately waved her hand and said, "Xiao Yu, you are not allowed to call me 'Miss' in the future, you have to call me sister!"

Xiao Yu had no choice but to comply: "Yes, sister!"

"Good sister, come, I'll introduce you, this is your eldest sister, her name is 'Hu Yiyi', this is the second sister, her name is 'Yiqing'......" At that moment, Murong Yan introduced the sisters to Xiao Yu one by one. Xiao Yu also bowed down to the three sisters one by one, and the three of them immediately returned the salute, each affectionately calling her "fifth sister".

The five sisters exchanged greetings for a while, and Xiao Yu said goodbye and went out. When Murong Yan was leaving, she said to herself: "Sister, in the future, you are not allowed to call me 'Miss' anymore! Today, you are not only my sister, but also the fifth sister of many sisters here!"

"Yes!" sister...... "Xiao Yu."

He saluted the rest of the sisters and said, "Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, the younger sister will retire first!" After saying her words and saluting, she slowly went out and went busy.

"Third sister, how did you find the fifth sister?" When Xiao Yu had just gone out, Yiqing asked first, only because of this, she had clearly recognized the 'fifth sister' in front of her.

"Just the day before yesterday, my second brother saw that I was bored in the house, so he took my second sister-in-law and Xiaobai to accompany me to take a walk in Balinyuan in the west of the city. Not long after we left the West Gate, we saw a group of ruffians surrounding a woman, with frivolous words and rude behavior, trying to bully her in a different way...... "At that moment, Murong Yan told how she found the fifth sister.

It turned out that on the twelfth day of February, Murong Huan's family went out to the west and went to Balinyuan for a stroll, but on the way, they saw several rogue men surrounding a girl, laughing endlessly, and doing something to her. Murong Huan immediately made a move and scared away the scoundrels.

As soon as Murong Yan saw the woman at that time, she felt very familiar, and after careful questioning, she knew that this woman's surname was Zhao Mingyu, and she was a maid in the Qiuming Rite Mansion of the Household Department. After the world was demonized, Qiu Mingli unfortunately died, but she survived with difficulty in the troubled times. No, the world has just returned to light, but she has been besieged and teased by a group of local scoundrels......

Murong Yan saw that Zhao Yu had a pitiful background, so she begged her second brother to take her back to the mansion, so that this lonely and helpless girl would stay by her side from then on. Murong Huan did not allow his sister, except for seeing Xu Ke, of course, everything else.

After returning home, Murong Yan thought about it repeatedly in her heart, and finally remembered who Zhao Yu was. She remembered Zhao Yu's life-saving grace to them that night, and she was so excited that she recognized Zhao Yu as her godsister at that time.

"So, the fifth sister is really the 'Red Flame Demon King'?!" Yiqing couldn't help but exclaim again. She looked at each other a few times with Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei, although she had long suspected it, but after it was really confirmed at this time, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart......

Everyone clearly remembers that just over a month ago, when the world was still demonized, Xuchang Tubao was raided by the White Rat Demon King with a large number of demon soldiers. Just when everyone was exhausted, fortunately, the Red Flame Demon King made a move, which repelled the White Rat Demon King and allowed them to flee to Chang'an. Although it was the middle of the night, there was already a raging fire in Xuchang City, and everyone could see it clearly by the light of the fire, the Red Flame Demon King's face was blue, his face was full of thick green tendons, and his hair was straight up. Although her face is very vicious, there is still a bit of beauty between her eyebrows, and she is vaguely the appearance of today's "little jade girl".

"......Shhhhh Right now, only a few of us know this secret!I'm afraid, even Xiao Yu himself can't remember it!" Murong Yan said softly.

"She can't remember herself, what the hell is going on?" Yiqing asked rhetorically.

"Yes, she only remembered that she was a maid in Lord Qiu's mansion, and she didn't seem to remember anything else! I asked how she had come over in the past ten years, where did she live, who else was around, she just shook her head, completely unaware of ......," Murong Yan replied.

Hu Yiyi thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that the fifth sister and the Red Flame Demon King must share the same body. When the world was demonized, the fifth sister was the Red Flame Demon King, and after the world returned to normal, the Red Flame Demon King became the fifth sister. ”

"......No wonder," Yao Zibei suddenly said: "Brother Xu was repeatedly chanting about 'Little Jade Girl' and 'How Little Jade Girl Became a Devil'...... It turns out that there are really two people living in the body of the fifth sister!"

"That'...... Can she recognize Xiao Wu's illness?" Hu Yiyi asked again.

"Of course!" Murong Yan said with a smile: "The fifth sister and the disease-free brother have not only known each other for a long time, but they seem to be very familiar with each other! I heard the fifth sister say that she was once arrested and put in prison by Tsing Yi Wei and tortured, but the disease-free brother took action and rescued her!"

"No wonder......" Yiqing also nodded, and said, "That night, we were surrounded by demon soldiers, and we were about to die at the hands of that white rat demon. As the number one master of the Demon Race, she Chiyan Demon King will take the initiative to help us escape......! She is grateful to Brother Xu for saving her life!"

"However......" Yiqing added, "If the two of them share the same body, their divine consciousness should belong to each other and be different. Brother Xu saved the fifth sister, how could the Red Flame Demon King know?"

Hu Yiyi said: "I'm afraid only the two of them know the reason for this." ”

Yao Zibei stroked his palms and smiled: "Sisters, since the third sister is fine, let's go home quickly! I think he may be even happier after telling Brother Xu about this!"

At the moment, although Murong Yan insisted on keeping them in the house for lunch, the three women still insisted on going home quickly. As Yao Zibei said, they also wanted Xu Ke to feel at ease earlier, and at the same time felt the happiness of having one more "fifth sister" in them......

After the three daughters left the Tianbao Pavilion, they were talking and laughing all the way, and suddenly saw a large number of pedestrians on the road, all walking towards the east together. Everyone was surprised in their hearts, and after asking, they knew that at noon today, the emperor was going to personally supervise the beheading at Dongshikou, and the "prisoners" beheaded were actually the famous "Demon King" and "Tsing Yi Demon King".

"Isn't the Tsing Yi Demon King dead?" Yiqing asked.

"If you die, you can cut it again!" replied the passerby.

After Yao Zibei heard this, he suddenly became interested and decided to go to watch it too. Just because the so-called "Demon Lord" who is famous among people and demons, who is the real person and what does he look like? She didn't know anything, and today she heard that the emperor was going to publicly behead the demon. How could she miss such a lively event?

Yiqing, under the instigation of Yao Zibei, immediately followed her. Hu Yiyi was alone, but she never liked to be lively, she shook her head, and had to go home.

Yao Zibei and Yiqing came to Dongshikou, which was already crowded with people at this time. Emperor Li Ci sat on a makeshift high platform, unable to see clearly from a distance.

When the crowd arrived at noon, they only heard the prison officer shouting, "The hour has come, execution!"

The executioner had already pushed out two "prisoners", one of whom was paralyzed, and was obviously the "Tsing Yi Demon King" who had been dead for a long time. The other "prisoner" wore a hideous mask on his head and face.

The executioner's hand rose and fell, and the hideous mask fell to the ground with the human head for a hundred years, and rolled not far in front of Yao Zibei.

"Zhao Xiaogang?!" Yao Zibei couldn't help but exclaim.

I saw that on the head of the person at this time, the mask had fallen off, but a blind face was revealed, and that person was Zhao Xiaogang.
