Volume 1: Reading is not a Confucian sour Chapter 37 Listen to the rainy night talk
Ying Tianchang was distracted by a thunderclap, and he stood up, unwilling to think about anything more.
Although the thunder passed, the rain still did not stop. Ying Tianchang put his hand into the rain, feeling the humidity that had finally descended on this dry world.
So far, Ying Tianchang's impression of the Hundred Beast Mountain and the Hundred Beast Demon King is not bad, but the Hundred Beast Mountain is one of the sources of the Northwest Demon Tribulation after all...... Ying Tianchang withdrew his palm and shook off the water droplets remaining on his skin, it should not be him who made the decision on the matter of the Hundred Beast Mountain, but Qinghuang and Qingshan.
And whether the ultimate source of the demon plague in the northwest is whether these demon kings in the northwest are not, Ying Tianchang is too lazy to think about it and doesn't want to think about it, thinking about these things, there are already those high-ranking officials of the imperial court who sent the supervision envoy to Weiming City and Xu Lu, who let him come here from the academy, he doesn't need to bother at all. Besides, even if he got some eyebrows, what could he do? Although he had learned how to use a spirit treasure from Xu Lu now, he was only weak, not very strong.
Iron also needs to be hard. Ying Tianchang himself is still a little far behind.
After one last glance at the rain curtain, Ying Tianchang left the railing by the window and came to his bed.
He took out the special tranquility incense of Xinzhai from the package, and then took out a clear charm from his bosom, and put the two together in the incense burner to light it. Pale cyan smoke wafted out of the incense burner, Ying Tianchang took a deep breath, returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, exhaling and absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.
As a mountain occupied by a demon king, the aura of heaven and earth is naturally abundant, but the demon aura is very heavy, even with the assistance of Ning Shen Xiang and Ming Jing Fu, Ying Tianchang does not dare to completely let go of his mind and practice as he did in the academy.
The old drunkard said that there are four conditions for determining the rank of the talisman of the talisman drawn by the talisman drawn by him, one is the rank of the talisman itself, and then the technique of drawing the talisman, the third is how much heaven and earth aura can be poured into it by the person who draws the talisman, and the last is the material for making the talisman.
At present, the talismans drawn by Ying Tianchang, except for the secret method of drawing talismans from Longhu Mountain, are the lowest rank things.
Baozi watched Ying Tianchang enter the cultivation, stretched out his little claws and wiped his mouth very humanely, there are so many monsters here, he is really hungry, especially the beast demon king, I don't know how comfortable it should be to eat him.
But these can only be thought about, and Baozi climbed on Ying Tianchang's legs and began to sleep.
For him, there are only two things in the world, eating and sleeping.
About dusk, Qinghuang came to the small building where Ying Tianchang lived, and the rain still did not stop at this time.
Ying Tianchang finished his practice, gently picked up the bun from his lap and put it on the bed, not to wake it up.
Ying Tianchang came to the first floor and sat with Qinghuang at the threshold of the small building. Ying Tianchang didn't know why, when he and Qinghuang were together, the two of them seemed to have never made a chair.
The small building looked at the past, and after crossing the winding river, it was the cave where Qinghuang and Qingshan lived.
"Don't wipe it?" asked Ying Tianchang.
Qinghuang was so wet at the moment that it seemed as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Qinghuang shook his head and said, "It rarely rains in the northwest, so I finally came back once, and it was good to get drenched." ”
"Where's Aoyama?"
"Maybe you're still wrestling with someone or drinking, don't care about him. ”
Qinghuang exhaled, and he took out a small package from his arms, which contained a pile of food. Ying Tianchang remembered the picture of Qinghuang finding himself after remembering the incident in Qingfufang.
Qinghuang said: "The one I was protecting in my arms should not be drenched." Thinking that you might not be used to eating and drinking with youkai, I brought you something to eat. ”
Qinghuang listened to the resonance of the sound of the water and the sound of the river, as if listening to a person's crying. He said: "Don't talk about you, I'm afraid of the way they eat, all of them have big mouths and fangs." ”
Ying Tianchang picked up a piece of jerky, and he didn't know what kind of meat it was, after all, this mountain is full of monsters, so is it a beast or a human? Ying Tianchang smiled and took a bite.
The buns suddenly came out of between Ying Tianchang and Qinghuang, and threw themselves into the package containing the food, feasting on it.
"Don't worry, it's not human flesh. Qinghuang smiled: "Beasts or monsters, everyone has to eat and be eaten, tigers eat cattle and sheep, flying eagles eat rabbits, cows, sheep and rabbits eat grass, it should be so, but it has become a monster, not just eating raw meat." ”
"So what kind of meat is this?" Ying Tianchang didn't want to ask.
"People. Qinghuang said.
Ying Tian paused for a moment and laughed with Qinghuang.
This topic will stop here, whether it is human flesh or not, it doesn't really matter.
Qinghuang could see that Ying Tianchang could nibble on a piece of meat and eat it before he could speak.
Qinghuang said, "Please do me a favor, it may not be good for you." ”
Ying Tianchang bit down another piece of jerky and chewed it in his mouth. He turned his head to look at the green yellow of his hair still dripping.
Qinghuang said: "Gu Beilu will find trouble with all the demon kings in the northwest, I talked to the old guy, instead of letting him lose in the hands of Gu Beilu, a tidewatcher in the South China Sea, it is better to lose in the hands of your Mr. Ying Si." ”
"I can't beat the old demon king. Ying Tianchang said.
"Gu Beilu may not be able to win against the old guy. Qinghuang said with his head down.
At this moment, Ying Tianchang seemed to understand something, he kept chewing the jerky in his mouth without swallowing: "You mean that the old demon king wants to lose on purpose?"
Ying Tianchang asked, "For what?"
When he asked this sentence, Ying Tianchang regretted it, because he seemed to know the answer, he didn't know if he guessed right, but he knew very well that he didn't need this answer, and he shouldn't ask Qinghuang this question.
Qinghuang has already made a decision.
So he shook his head, so that Qinghuang, who had opened half his mouth, didn't have to speak.
After thinking about it for a long time, slowly straightening out the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ying Tianchang said, "What does the old demon king plan to do in the future?"
Qinghuang didn't answer, just shook his head. Ying Tianchang knows in his heart, and he is worthy of being the old demon king who will send Qinghuang and Qingshan into his heart. In fact, Ying Tianchang thought of one thing, when the Hundred Beast Demon King sent Qinghuang Qingshan to the academy, wouldn't it be for the current move?
With the name of Qinghuang and Qingshan Xinzhai students, the big and small monsters of the Hundred Beasts Mountain are protected by Xinzhai?
Ying Tianchang swallowed the jerky that had already been chewed in his mouth, and continued: "I won the old demon king, and I will have a lot of fame in the northwest. After the Northwest is over, the entire Tang Dynasty and even other places will know my name Ying Tianchang. ”
Qinghuang grinned: "Now that Ying Tianchang's name has long been famous in the world, how can the four disciples of Zhang Shengren not be famous? ”
Chen Yi, Xu Er, Li San, Ying Four?
"It's actually fake. Ying Tianchang also grinned, "I can't beat the old demon king at all, and I can't compare with a proud son of heaven like Gu Beilu." ”
"These fame are the old guy's compensation for you. Qinghuang said, "I just said that it is actually not good for you to help you with this, and now no one knows that Xinzhai has been involved in this northwest demon, especially the fourth disciple of you, the sage Zhang Yuanchun, among them." Once you win the old guy, the entire Northwest will know about it, and compared to Gu Beilu, who only injured the Demon King, who couldn't get on the stage and was only a mismatch for Mrs. Mingyue, you would become the target of the demons. ”
"The old demon king is so powerful?" Ying Tianchang was a little surprised.
"Among the seven demon kings, not counting the 'black king' Qin Guan who is the real demon of the Northwest, although the remaining six have their own merits, everyone knows how Mrs. Mingyue made a fortune, in your words, it is nothing more than relying on contacting people's hearts and feelings, doing something similar to Qinglou in the Northwest Demon World, and Mrs. Mingyue is her most widely connected and most advantageous among the six demon kings. And the reason why Mrs. Mingyue was able to become a half-immortal demon king was because a big monster in the north was entangled with her and helped her in all aspects such as cultivation. It is estimated that if Baiyun Mountain and Mrs. Mingyue have an accident this time, the big monster will also come to the northwest. Fortunately, his target was that Gu Beilu. And the other four have more or less fought with the old guy, and they all know the old guy's skills. ”
Qinghuang raised his head and said with a smile: "There is no 'Black King' Qin Guan in the northwest, the old guy should be able to be counted as the first and second demon king." ”
Ying Tianchang heard it for a while: "So Gu Beilu injured Mrs. Mingyue, even if there is no demon king covenant, just with the face of that big demon, these demon kings in the northwest will go to Baiyun Mountain to show their faces so as not to be targeted by that big demon?"
"So in Baiyun Mountain, except for the Red Sun King, who has always had thoughts about Lady Mingyue, trying his best to keep that Gu Beilu, the others are just symbolic appearances, just appearances. ”
The rain was a little heavier, and it crackled on the ground.
Qinghuang said: "Once the old guy loses, all the demon kings, including the 'black king' Qin Guan, will be vigilant, instead of watching from the wall like Mrs. Mingyue. They're all going to come against you, even if they actually join forces with other people. After all, anyone who can defeat the old guy is a big threat to them, and even a threat that a demon king can't take down. So your situation will be very dangerous, even more dangerous than the current Gu Beilu. Of course, this is what the big demon from the north said before he came to the northwest. ”
"Can't the name of my saint disciple scare them?" Ying Tianchang knew that he was joking.
"Usually it can be scary, but for the three gentlemen Chen Lin'an, Xu Lu, and Li Qinglian, the names of the saint's disciples are actually not as scary as their own names, and you are a little worse. What's more, you've all come to the northwest to kill these demon kings, and you won't let them kill you? Qinghuang said.
Ying Tianchang thought that he was just a little worse. He scratched his head and said, "Forget it, you arrange." ”
This time it was Qinghuang's turn to be surprised, he was a little incredulous, and asked, "Did you agree?"
"Otherwise?" Ying Tianchang stood up and stretched.
"But as far as I'm concerned, I don't really want that fame, otherwise I'll be tired. ”
Ying Tianchang's sentence is half a lie.
Qinghuang was silent, although this was the last thing to do to the Hundred Beast Mountain, he still hoped that Ying Tianchang would refuse.
Ying Tianchang looked at Qinghuang and showed a smile, how could he refuse. Because Ying Tianchang can see that from the time they met to the present, all the sadness contained in all Qinghuang's smiles was not noticed by Qinghuang himself.
Ying Tianchang no longer looked at Qinghuang, and poked out half of his head to look at the gloomy sky, and the rain was pouring down.
There is a white line in the sky, like a heavenly river.
It must be night, he thought.
