Chapter 113, Three-legged Raven
This result was really beyond the expectations of everyone in the audience, but when everyone thought of the current situation of the mortal realms, they all felt that the reward of five hundred copper coins and a jade plate of good people was normal.
A mortal who had committed a serious crime and was very likely to be sentenced to capital punishment was not only not convicted because of the intervention of a cultivator, but instead became a good citizen who was rewarded. Although the actual reward received was a little less, it did not affect the fact that it proved that the cultivator had a transcendent status in the mortal world.
Both the Qingtian Law and the Yunhai Palace Rules have general rules and regulations that explicitly prohibit those who have cultivated the true path from interfering in the affairs of the mortal realm, whether it is a sect monk or a casual cultivator. After all, cultivators are the most top-level existence in this world, and their influence is everywhere, even the existence of the Qi cultivation period that is just getting started is not something ordinary mortals can provoke.
Moreover, in this world where cultivation is respected, all mortals who can have a relationship with the cultivators are all mixed up, and the court officials who can have a relationship with the cultivators are even more unscrupulous. In this context, a cultivator asks an official in the mortal realm to make it easier for him to do something within the scope of his authority, even if the official knows that this is against all kinds of rules, does he dare not do it? Can he not do it? It is too late for him to be happy, if he does not do it, he will be a fool, and a fool will not be able to be an official for long.
Therefore, it is normal for Liu San'er to be able to get away with the crime and receive a symbolic reward.
This is the end of Liu San'er's experience, and no one asks him how he apprenticed, what is his enlightenment teacher's surname, and his background is cultivation. Given that their current master, Ding Nian, might be present at any time, it would be extremely unwise and advisable to discuss such a topic, and it would also be extremely easy to get into trouble.
No one is stupid, so no one would ask such a sensitive topic at this juncture.
So, invariably, everyone turned their attention to Bao Xiaojie. Because he was the only one who hadn't talked about it, there was no need for Cao Yangshan to waste any more mana and time to stimulate the non-heart ball.
Bao Xiaojie is the kind of person who is not easy to be seen through, and Liu San'er also caught a trace of danger from his body similar to the one captured on Tan Tian. When he laughed, Liu San'er felt that he was deliberately pretending, and when he was not laughing, Liu San'er felt that he was brewing some conspiracy.
Anyway, from the bottom of his heart, Liu San'er doesn't like people like Bao Xiaojie, and he is even more reluctant to get too close to such people. Fortunately, according to his understanding of Ding Nian, there should not be many opportunities for their so-called "senior brothers and sisters" to meet in the future, which made him feel slightly relieved.
Bao Xiaojie's experience is that he has three grand wedding scenes, each of which can be said for half an hour, and his description of various luxurious scenes of the wedding is comparable to that of a storyteller.
When talking about the first wedding, Bao Xiaojie didn't say that there was a second time, and several people who listened to the audience who had not yet had a Taoist couple were a little apperetal. Especially Huang Xinran, who is a female cultivator, listened carefully and was intoxicated.
But when Bao Xiaojie talked about his second wedding without foreshadowing, everyone's faces turned green. Huang Xinran was even more cold-eyebrowed, and wanted to interrupt several times, but he was witty and resolved. When he talked about the third wedding, everyone couldn't listen to the description of the wedding, and they were all curious about why he had to marry again and again, and where the previous one went.
The waiting process can often feel long and boring, even anxious and frustrating.
Others are okay to say, as the only female cultivator in the field, Huang Xinran seems to be extremely unwilling to see the half-heartedness of the men, the first few times he didn't really interrupt Bao Xiaojie has already given this guy enough face, this time it is unbearable, and he must not let this guy talk nonsense anymore. She stood up open-mindedly and looked at Bao Xiaojie with a rare expressionless expression.
Bao Xiaojie was silent when he arrived, and Ben also talked about Xingtou's third marriage. He immediately realized why it was and quickly explained.
It turned out that the women Bao Xiaojie married three times were later found to have a background in the ghost robe brotherhood, although they were all extraordinary, but because of the impure purpose in Shenhua Gate, they were quickly seen through by the high-level in the door under the suspicious appearance, and then they were dealt with.
Brother Pao will painstakingly infiltrate Shenhua Gate, there must be some purpose, but why do so many people not choose Bao Xiaojie? Could it be that Shenhua Gate is the only one he can see?
Liu San'er couldn't figure this out, and so did others.
However, the question was quickly answered.
Bao Xiaojie said that he is a relative of the Yan family, the grandson of the previous generation of heads, in the eyes of the average people in Shenhuamen, his identity is very close to the high-level of the rising star, the key training object in the door, and the popular candidate for the future deputy master. With his identity, it is not surprising that he can be targeted by the robe brother again and again, and send women over again and again.
"Hmph..."Huang Xinran laughed, and finally returned to his seat: "According to the senior brother's statement, those women are really not suitable as Taoist couples, but the old saying often says that a husband and wife in one day are a hundred days of grace, and a husband and wife in a hundred days are fake and true." I don't know what the junior brother felt when those women were taken away..."
"Well... Of course, I was sorry for regret and hatred at the time, but in hindsight, there was nothing bad about it, at least I experienced something that others had not experienced, and this kinship was worth it!" Bao Xiaojie thought about it and said.
"Hmph... It's not, how can an ordinary man have the blessing of being a junior brother, he has been married three times at a young age, and..."
The next moment, everyone in the hall stood up and stared at a three-legged crow that had broken in at some point.
The crow was a second-order ancient bird comparable to the middle stage of Qi cultivation, several circles larger than an ordinary crow, and it was about the same as a domestic goose raised by a peasant household in the ordinary world. Its beak is as golden as gold, and its feathers are not pure black. There is a finger-wide white on the back, stretching from the back of the head to the tail, and the yellowed compound eyes flicker from time to time, and they walk silently and there seems to be a black gas wrapped around the body, which makes people feel very bad to see.
And from the moment the crow appeared, the iron-backed centipede in Liu San'er's spirit beast bag, which was still sleeping, suddenly woke up all at once, restless and messing around inside, like ants in a hot pot. He tried his best to control the spirit beast bag, but it still had little effect, so he had to hold it tightly with one hand.
This was not obvious enough to attract the attention of the crowd who were being attracted by the crows. But the natural sharpness of the ancient bird is not a rumor, the three-legged crow looked at Liu San'er long before Liu San'er made a move, and the look in his compound eyes was full of aggression.
Being looked at like this, Liu San'er only felt a chill all over his body, and shivered unconsciously.
At this stall, the three-legged crow suddenly spread its wings and flew up like a frightening leap. It first made a quick circle around the room, and then swooped down and snatched the spirit beast bag containing the ironback centipede.
All of this was done in a breath or two, which was not very fast, but it was still too unexpected for everyone, especially Liu San'er.
As a half-sword expert, Liu San'er had the time and certainty to stop the three-legged crow's attack. But he didn't do anything, and let the spirit beast bag be snatched away. In fact, with a few more breaths, he would still be able to deal with it.
Can an ancient bird with a cultivation comparable to the mid-stage cultivation of Qi cultivation be able to unknowingly break into the magic circle arranged by the foundation building cultivator that can resist the existence of the foundation building?
I'm afraid not!
What's more, as soon as this ancient bird came in, it caused a strong reaction from the originally sleeping iron-backed centipede, and it was definitely not an ordinary thing. The other party is aiming at the spirit beast bag, and eighty percent will not threaten himself, so he will give it first.
Moreover, Liu San'er didn't want anyone present to know his means. He didn't think any of these guys were genuinely ready to be brothers with him. It's a very passive thing to show the means first in such a group of people, no matter how you look at it, let's just let them think that they are the imperial spirit worms.
The three-legged crow is only how big it is, even if it can open the spirit beast bag and fight the iron-backed centipede, it is estimated that it will not be able to eat half of it!
However, Liu San'er immediately found out that he was wrong, very wrong!
I saw that the three-legged crow flew to the wide chair of the main seat of the room with the tumbling spirit beast bag in its mouth, and only lowered its head and pecked it lightly and seemingly casually, and a hole was suddenly broken on it.
This crow's mouth is too powerful, even a second-order mid-grade magic weapon can't burst through the spirit beast bag that is known for its flexibility at once!
The next moment, I saw that the iron-backed centipedes were scrambling to drill out of the spirit beast bag, but they were swallowed by the three-legged crow before they could climb out of half a foot, and they didn't chew it at all.
"My centipede!" Seeing that the centipedes in the spirit beast bag were rapidly decreasing, but the three-legged crow did not look like it was full at all, Liu San'er finally cried out in distress.
At this time, a beautiful figure floated in from outside the room, and before he could see the figure, he said first: "I'll accompany you when I turn back!"
This figure, this voice is all too familiar. Coupled with the suddenness of the incident, Liu San'er was stunned. When he reacted, he found that everyone was respectfully kneeling down towards the main seat, and then he suddenly realized who was coming, and he hurriedly followed.
"You all get up, I said a long time ago that it doesn't take so much etiquette to be my apprentice, I need real respect from the heart!"
"Yes!"
The person who came was Ding Nian, Elder Ding in the eyes of the cultivators of the Great Liang Gate. She was still wrapped in a black robe, revealing only one face, but there was no huge female black shadow behind her.
However, this did not affect the powerful aura that emanated from her body. It's only been a long time since I've seen her, and her cultivation has actually advanced from the peak of the early stage of foundation building to the middle realm of the fourth layer of foundation building.
But this was not what shocked Liu San'er the most, but the face that looked much younger than last time suddenly made him a little distracted. Not only him, but everyone couldn't stop looking at the woman in front of them from the corner of their eyes.
Presumably present. No one had seen Ding Nian's true face for the first time, but presumably no one would be uninterested in her suddenly youthful face.
Ding Nian is an extremely beautiful woman, and her previous appearance can only be described as radiant. Her current appearance is more like a combination of the slightly older Dou Ning and Tian Mizhen, not only men can't help but take a few more looks, even Huang Xinran, who is a woman, is not exempt from vulgarity.
Ding Nian gently held the three-legged crow in his hand, then sat down on the main seat in a very comfortable position, smiled lightly at Liu San'er, and said: "San'er, this three-legged crow has something to do with the three-legged golden crow, it is really wise that you didn't act rashly just now, otherwise you will suffer!"
"Hehe... The disciple is not good at learning, not to mention that as soon as this divine bird came in, I thought that it might be the master's spiritual pet, how dare I make a mistake!" Liu San'er said with a panicked expression.
Ding Nian nodded with an unchanged smile: "You don't have to be modest, I know a little about the method of looking at qi, although I can't see your methods very clearly, but I can feel the strong smell of blood on your body... If you only talk about competition, I guess you will definitely rank in the top three among your brothers!"
"Master has won the prize!" Liu San'er continued to say in fear, but there were 10,000 galloping horses galloping in his heart. This woman clearly wanted to kill herself, and she was actually able to penetrate her newly practiced qi collection method "True Qi Cultivation Sense Chapter", so she had to stop her from continuing, so she glanced at the three-legged crow, and then said: "This divine bird has such an amazing appetite, the iron-backed centipede in my spirit beast bag is about to be eaten by it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes really shifted to the three-legged crow, and they were all dumbfounded.
In just a few words, the bird swallowed forty or fifty iron-backed centipedes. As for the size of the iron-backed centipede, those of you who have not seen it with their own eyes, but they have also heard of it. It is not easy for ordinary birds to eat one, and it is unheard of to eat dozens of birds.
"What's the matter?, do you feel sorry for your centipede?" Ding Nian's eyes flashed, and he asked half-jokingly.
Matching that gaze, Liu San'er only felt tight, and hurriedly denied it: "Disciple doesn't dare! Those centipedes are also in the way of me here, they can be eaten by Master's divine bird, that is their honor, it's too late for me to be happy for them!"
This sycophant, Liu San'er himself almost doesn't know himself. He even wondered how the words came out of his own mouth.
Everyone was also surprised, and they didn't expect that this honest-looking guy was actually a fart master.
"You kid, you have a good eloquence!" For Liu San'er, the last disciple to get started, although he was the closest, Ding Nian felt that this person was the most difficult to see through among all the disciples, much more difficult than that Bao Xiaojie. Even if you use the method of looking at qi, you can only know one or two dimly. Now that he actually patted himself on the back, does it mean that he already knows something? The so-called long dreams in the night, let's be serious first, so she smiled on her face and said in a deep voice: "But then again, this time I summoned you here just for this three-legged crow!"
