Chapter Twenty-Three: The Road to Rivalry Is Narrow and Can't Be Coaxed
After getting the answer he wanted from the strange fish, Xianmi no longer had to get lost and detour along the Yingshui River. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It turns out that the so-called fox demon country is hiding itself through the huge Qingqiu Mountain. The fox demon is cunning by nature, and deliberately sets up a lot of fog on the outside of Qingqiu Mountain to mislead everyone who enters Qingqiu, so that the people who come can retreat on their own. If you want to see where the country of fox demons is, you must drink the water of the Yingshui River. Although the water looks no different from ordinary rivers, the water temperature is very cold but can remain unfrozen, and mortals cannot touch it at all. Even if the fairy rice is a lynx spirit, he must use a spell to force it out of his body as soon as possible, otherwise he will be greatly damaged. The Qingqiu Demon Fox also tried his best to prevent outsiders from setting foot on this land.
After drinking the water, although he felt that there was a cold air in his body, his eyes suddenly brightened up a lot, and the endless Qingqiu Mountain disappeared in an instant, and a gorgeous palace hundreds of feet high appeared in front of him. If it weren't for Qingqiu, people would really suspect that this was the palace of the Emperor of the Nine Heavens. The life of these demon foxes is really extravagant.
The carved beams and painted buildings, the green tiles are flying, and even the floor is paved with jade. It seems that the wealth of this Qingqiu may not even be comparable to that of the Emperor of the Nine Heavens. A group of dead foxes also learned that the emperor of the world is coming, and they are built more magnificently than the palace. Xianmi looked around the corridor, but there was no one to see. She wandered nonchalantly, noticing a figure following her, and she pretended not to see it.
After following for about half an hour, the figure behind him became a little impatient and simply appeared. "Girl, stop. ”
Xianmi didn't have to look back to know that this kind of Su and charming voice was only available to fox demons. I used to hear in Changyang Mountain that the fox demons are all very beautiful, so beautiful that even the gods in the sky can't stand it and forget to return. It's just that what will a male fox demon with such a seductive voice look like?
She turned around and was about to make fun of the man, but her brain blurted out uncontrollably: "So handsome!"
"Yes, thank you for the compliment," the strange boy smiled crookedly.
From birth to the present, Xianmi has always thought that there are only two people who can reach the level of a handsome guy in her heart, one is her brother Xianmo, and the other is her ex-fiancé who is now killing her father's enemy. She has seen a lot of men in the demon world and men in the mortal world, and basically none of them can beat these two. However, when she saw the teenager in front of her today, she began to know that there was really no upper limit to such a thing as a handsome guy. Because of this young man's face, people can't take their eyes off for a moment.
The men of the fairy world, the men of the demon world, and the men of the mortal world, if the biggest difference is the difference in temperament. Men in the fairy world have seven emotions and six desires, although there are also those who are extremely outstanding, often due to illness or age, and it is difficult to last; because the men in the demon world are beasts, they have strong desires, strong competitiveness, and are more proactive in all aspects, but at the same time, they have the wisdom of mortal men, and they are not like the attitude of men in the fairy world who reject people, so they often make the women of the Three Realms fall into it and find it difficult to extricate themselves。 There are more beautiful men in the demon world, which will never change.
The fox demon is charming. But the young man in front of Xianmi is different. Although he is a fox demon, he does not have the charm of a fox demon. A pair of peach blossom eyes are as bright as stars, the eyebrow bones and the bridge of the nose are just right, and the lips are not thin or thick. The skin is like white jade, which makes women breathtaking. He is eight feet long and has black hair like a waterfall. He was dressed in blue, with gold thread on the collar and cuffs, and a white jade pendant hanging around his waist.
From just now to now, he has been looking at Xianmi with a smile.
God, there really are such good-looking people in the world. Xianmi was stunned, forgetting the purpose of her trip. She didn't feel that it was rude for her to stare at others all the time, she just felt that the guy in front of her was too good-looking.
"Huh?" the beautiful boy in front of him smiled lightly.
"You just called me a girl, but I don't think you're any different from me. You should also be an adult fox demon. ”
"You're Xian Mo's sister, right?" the beautiful boy took two steps forward and said with a smile.
He didn't seem hostile, and he spoke his brother's name in a relaxed tone. Xianmi breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart throbbed slightly. Maybe you can get some news from him, after all, he doesn't look like a bad guy either. Even she didn't realize that her bad impression of the fox demon was changing because of the boy in front of her.
"Please tell me where Xian Mo is. She asked cautiously.
"To tell you the truth, your brother is a guest in my Qingqiu country. He knows that you have come to the territory of Qingqiu, so he specially asked me to pick you up. The beautiful boy stretched out an arm towards Xianmi, and the palm of his hand went up as if he wanted to lead her along.
Xianmi also smiled and stretched out his hand, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to launch a flame spell and hit the young man's arm. In an instant, the young man was swallowed up by a sea of fire hundreds of feet high, and Xianmi had already retreated a hundred meters away.
"If I hadn't learned from the strange fish that my brother is currently imprisoned here, I would have thought you were going to treat us as guests. She sneered at the people in front of her who were surrounded in the sea of fire. Even if you can't burn him, you can still damage his three successes.
A dazzling beam of light bloomed in the center of the sea of fire and shot straight into the sky, piercing the top of the corridor and breaking away the sea of fire. A light shield appeared around the young man's body, and the sea of fire mixed with flames immediately turned into countless fireworks and bloomed like iron trees and silver flowers when they touched the light mask. The pyromancy did not cause the slightest damage to the boy. "You are indeed smarter than your brother. But he can't escape captivity. He smiled.
"The stinky fox is pretty good. I don't know if my brother's pyromancy burned off your tail hair, so you can do it with me now. ”
"Really?" the young man sneered and stretched out his right arm towards Xianmi, and the billowing black smoke sprang out from his palm, extending forward in a vortex, and the black mist instantly turned into a dozen golden-scaled pythons roaring towards Xianmi.
Once again, Xianmi used her flame magic to resist these giant pythons, and although her body was no longer able to bear it, she might die here if she stopped like this. She still has to pick herbs and bring them back to save Hu Xiao, she can't just die. The flames were facing the golden-scaled python, which burned into black smoke after being surrounded by flames. She breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, the giant python that was burned into black smoke immediately condensed into black dragons, roaring and swallowing the flames and turning into fire dragons and rushing towards Xianmi.
What! What kind of demon is this guy, who can defuse the other party's tricks. Xianmi had to quickly dodge the fire dragon's attack, and used all his strength to freeze all the more than a dozen fire dragons with the ice technique. The Flame Technique had already damaged her vitality, and now that she had used the Ice Technique, she was almost devoured by the Ice Technique and died with those black dragons. Xianmi barely supported herself and stood there and continued to confront the boy. However, the blood veins around her body were already retrograde, and the cold qi that she had received before also began to swim in her internal organs, and his two arms began to drip blood, and if she continued to fight like this, she would really die.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that your temper is too bad, otherwise what other way can you stop resisting. The boy laughed.
He snapped his fingers, and his surroundings turned into a sea of sunflowers. Xianmi couldn't hold it anymore, she fell down in pain, fell to the ground, looked at the orange and yellow around her, and couldn't tell whether this was an illusion or a real Qingqiu.
There seemed to be some powder scattered in the air, golden and crystal clear, like ...... Xianmi looked up at the sky, her eyelids slowly numb, and her brain began to lag...... The pain in her body seemed to have eased somewhat, and she really wanted to sleep......

Since Li Qingming left Ping'an Town, he has been rushing to Yan non-stop day and night. It stands to reason that he can't know the whereabouts of Xianmi and Hu Xiao, but fortunately, Hu Xiao is not the only one in this town, and some of them are still very strong in finding people although they are not good at fortune telling. There was a magic stick that pointed out to him that he should go all the way east and find the legendary fairy mountain goose without returning to find the two. So, I don't know if it was to get rid of Ping'an Town forever, or to see Xianmi earlier, Li Qingming didn't relax for a moment and kept hurrying, until his horse was exhausted to death by him.
At this point, he could not continue his journey, so he had to go to a nearby city to find an inn to stay in, sleep well, and then buy a horse to continue his journey. Soon after he found an inn and settled down, Shangguan Yongsheng and Feng Lin also followed. Coincidentally, their horses were also exhausted, so they had to stop their journey for a while. What's even more coincidental is that the inn they chose happened to be the same as Li Qingming. What's even more coincidental is that since they entered the store one after another, the rooms arranged by the shopkeeper happened to be three adjacent rooms.
All three of them were exhausted from the night, so they all stayed in the room and did not go out. None of them even remembered that tonight was Tanabata.
At night, the streets begin to come alive. The sky is full of Kong Ming lanterns, the river is full of lotus lanterns, young men and women go out into the streets to meet their partners, and the whole town is filled with a sense of happiness, the streets are brightly lit, and children are huddled in the crowd laughing and playing.
Only the inn where these three people stayed, it was almost frozen in the cold, as if it did not belong to this town.
A thunderous snoring came from inside the dawn room, a flaw he had always wanted to be aware of, that is, he would snore once he was asleep. Unfortunately, the sound insulation of this inn is not very good, and Shangguan Yongsheng, who was lying next door, immediately sat up from the bed after hearing this familiar snoring.
The corners of Shangguan Yongsheng's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and no one knew better than him who this snoring sound was coming from. It's really effortless, and after a long time, who is that bastard next door, God help me. The tiredness of the day vanished suddenly, his mind cleared up, and he quickly got dressed and quietly jumped out of the window.
At night, Li Qingming slept more deeply. Shangguan Yongsheng had already returned from outside, and there was a big bag behind him, and he didn't know what it contained. However, he did not go back to his room, but quietly sneaked into Li Qingming's room. Half an hour later, he returned to his room, and the bag was gone.
In the dark, Li Qingming slept dimly, he inadvertently turned over, and then felt something pressed under his body, and it was soft to hold something. The muffled sound of "quack, quack" kept coming to his ears. Impatiently, he reached for the thing beneath him, only to find a sticky hand of inexplicable liquid. He suddenly woke up in fright, and what he was holding in his hand was a frog! It seemed that something had gotten into his pants, cool and slippery, and he immediately became alert and quickly took off his pants and jumped out of bed.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he still heard the "hiss" of the snake spitting out the letter, and he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat. What's going on with this inn and why is there so much dangerous stuff. He hurriedly went to the table, touched the candle and lit it, took his sword and cut the snake, and was about to put on his clothes and go downstairs to find the shopkeeper to theorize. As a result, he had just put on his pants when a goose came out from under the chair and bit him on the thigh. "Quack, quack" The goose was as angry as if he had eaten gunpowder, and he bit him, Li Qingming was driven to the window by the goose, and he couldn't even get the sword, he planned to jump on the table, find a candlestick and knock the goose out and then go to get the sword. Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped on the table, he found that the entire table had been smeared with a layer of oil, so the soles of his feet slipped and he smashed through the window and fell down.
So, in the bustling street, a naked man fell from the window of an inn. The girls in the crowd screamed, covered their eyes, and fled. Shangguan Yongsheng poked his head out of the window of the next room at the right time and grimaced at Li Qingming, and then shouted at the crowd: "This person is a flower thief, he wants to attack the girls, everyone hurry up and report to the official to arrest him!"
"Shangguan, you bastard!" Li Qingming roared angrily. But it was too late, and the angry people did not listen to his explanation, and came up and beat him up and took him to the yamen.
