Chapter Twenty-Three: The Road Meets the Golden Scale Eagle

So Chong Hezi said to Lin Lingsu: "Han Jiangliu and Princess Linglong were originally figures in the fairy world, you can't kill them, so since this is the case, what you did is not wrong, just find a way not to let Han Jiangliu and Lin Lingsu meet again." ”

"Obey the teacher's orders. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Chong Kazuko said, "Don't delay your practice." Then he left the Demon Tower.

Lin Lingsu went to the Demon Town Tower of the Taigong Palace to continue practicing.

In the palace, Zhao Heng was losing his temper, because Yang Jian did not have the slightest courtesy in front of him, as if he didn't take him as a prince in his eyes.

This morning, the prince called Yang Jian and asked, "Whose responsibility is it for the fox spirit to make trouble?"

Yang Jian said: "Back to the prince, of course it is the responsibility of the fox spirit, she shouldn't come to make trouble." ”

"But, whose responsibility is it that the vixen has run away?"

"If you run away, the palace will be peaceful. Yang Jian replied.

"What if she comes back? I ask you, let go of the fox spirit, what should Lin Lingsu do?"

"This - the crown prince, Lin Zhenren is compassionate and thinks of living beings. ”

"You mean, I can't pursue Lin Lingsu?"

"Prince, you can't. ”

"Why not?"

"Because the emperor said no. ”

"Bastard, you dare to talk back to me. ”

"Don't dare. Yang Jian said this, and without waiting for Zhao Heng to speak, he bowed and retreated. He really didn't take the prince seriously.

Zhao Heng said hatefully: "Yang Jian, sooner or later, one day, I have to kill you!"

But Yang Jian still went his own way, because the emperor trusted him very much.

Zhao Heng wanted to find trouble with Lin Lingsu, but he couldn't do it yet, and that fox spirit would never make trouble in the palace again, at this moment, he was on his way to the capital to Flame Island, ready to find an appropriate time to kill Han Jiangliu.

It's just that we haven't found such a suitable opportunity yet.

Besides, Han Jiangliu and the captain Huaizhong left Kaiyuan Island, took advantage of the darkness of the night, waded through the Kaiyuan River that had been frozen, and continued to the south without hesitation, from summer to autumn.

The mood of the two of them naturally has a sense of leisure in the midst of urgency.

Han Jiangliu rode a red horse, Huaizhong rode a black horse, the two horses stood side by side, Han Jiangliu said: "The maple leaf in front is really beautiful. ”

Huaizhong said, "Yes, such a beautiful scenery is really a bit unforgettable. ”

Han Jiangliu said: "Appreciating the maple leaves in autumn and the snow in winter are really two happy things in life. Speaking of which, thinking of Princess Linglong, I secretly thought that if it was not Huaizhong who was standing side by side with me at this time, but Princess Linglong, I don't know what it would be like.

When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a strange wind blowing, rolling the maple leaves into one place, and flying towards the sky in a whirl.

"I'm afraid it's not a good wind!" Huai asserted.

Han Jiangliu nodded: "Let's be careful." The two dismounted, tied their horses to the maple tree, and then found a sheltered place not far from the wind, and sat on the ground.

Han Jiangliu took out the wine jug, handed it to Huaizhong, and said, "Brother Huai, drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

Huaizhong took the flask, took a big sip of "Gu Dong Dong", and handed it to Han Jiangliu, who also drank it.

The two of them sat and neither of them spoke, and they felt that as long as they spoke, they were very depressed and uncomfortable, dizzy and nauseous.

"What the. Huaizhong said.

"Don't talk! Look there. This time, it was Han Jiangliu's sharp eyes, and Huaizhong, known as clairvoyant, didn't pay attention.

On top of the maple tree, where two horses were tethered, there was a very strange bird.

The bird was about a foot long, with two very large wings and black feathers, and except for the two wings, the other parts were not feathers, but scales. The bird's head was small and long, with a sharp beak sticking out, one by one, and the tongue peeking out of the beak, which was a blood-red color.

Only then did Huaizhong notice that such a big bird made the maple tree crumble.

Huaizhong whispered to Han Jiangliu: "Let's pay attention to one point, if it comes to us, it will not be easy to deal with it." ”

Han Jiangliu nodded, dueling with birds and beasts, although it is not as painstaking as fighting with people, but because there is no way to reason with them, it is often more dangerous, and between life and death, there is a line between life and death.

Both of them shook the weapons in their hands, not daring to be careless.

And the big bird, who didn't seem to have much interest in these two men, but was quite interested in the two horses below him, one yellow and one black, staring at the two big round eyes, watching the two horses' every move.

The two horses seemed to sense that they were in danger, and that a strange creature was watching them, and that they might fly down and eat them at any time, so that they moved their hooves and could not bother to gnaw on the grass on the ground.

Huaizhong said, "General, that guy is going to eat our horse." ”

"Don't worry, it doesn't dare!

In the eagle sorrowful stream, thousands of waves fly and spray broken jade, and a stream of water roars in the breeze, which is the place where the white horse of Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West" was eaten by the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Han Jiangliu felt that their current situation was somewhat similar to that of Tang monks and apprentices.

"General, he's moving. Huaizhong shouted in a low voice.

Sure enough, the huge strange bird clung to the branch with both feet, its claws moving uncontrollably, its huge beak closed one by one, and stared intently at the black horse.

Han Jiangliu said, "Look at me." He put down his sword, and took the bow and arrow beside him, and set it on the string.

Han Jiangliu's bow and arrow kung fu is not as high as sword kung fu, but it is already extraordinary. He aimed at the bird's head, and then slowly shifted the target to the body. Han Jiangliu did not have a hundred shots and a hundred steps through the poplar itself, the head of the strange bird was slightly smaller, if a blow missed, it would anger the strange bird, it was better to shoot its huge body, the giant bird was injured, but it might fall into the wilderness and escape, then the two people, two horses, will be safe.

Han Jiangliu thought: This is a safe approach.

With a "bang", an arrow was shot and hit the chest of the strange bird.

"Huh?" Huaizhong and Han Jiangliu were shocked at the same time, and the arrow was like hitting a diamond boulder, and it bounced back and fell far to the ground.

This strange bird is able to fly invulnerable!

Huaizhong knew that the power of the arrow was huge, and if it was within the effective range, it would not be difficult to pass through a few thick iron sheets. This bird, this scale, the flesh is harder than iron.

There was also a bit of fear in the surprise, since it was unscathed, it was frightened, and it was afraid that it was about to attack itself. Therefore, Huaizhong held the arrow in his hand at the same time.

Han Jiangliu was not convinced, and once again took the front string and shot another arrow, this time, Han Jiangliu did not shoot the body of the strange bird, but shot directly at the eyes of the strange bird. I thought: In the world, only the eyes are the most precious and the most fragile, and this strange bird must be no exception.

Seeing that this arrow was only a few inches away from the eyes of the strange bird, the strange bird did not move, only tilted its head, and easily dodged the attack, and at the same time, the wings on the other side rolled up, and the arrow was broken into two with a "click", and its wings were as dexterous as human hands, which was incredible.

Han Jiangliu shot three arrows in a row with "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", but they were all broken by the strange bird.

The strange bird seemed to be angry, and it moved its gaze to Han Jiangliu's side.

Huaizhong shouted, "General, be careful. ”

Before the words were finished, the strange bird spread its wings and swooped towards Han Jiangliu, whirring and wind, and in a blink of an eye, it was really fast as thunder and lightning fast. Han Jiangliu couldn't dodge, and was pounced on by the strange bird, and the huge wind enveloped Han Jiangliu and took him a few feet away.

Huaizhong saw that General Han was under the threat of a strange bird, and he was not in a hurry to save him, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Han Jiangliu looked at the long neck of the strange bird dangling in front of his eyes, and he couldn't get out and stand up for a while, thinking: "It's over, my life is over!" had to close his eyes and let it be arranged by heaven's will.

At this time, suddenly there was a clear whistling sound from afar, like an ape's cry, like a crane's chirping, agitated and melodious, and it was good.

When the strange bird heard this voice, it seemed to be stunned for a moment.

In a moment's moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind the strange bird.

The speed of this figure is unbelievable. Not to mention that Han Jiangliu didn't see it clearly, even Huaizhong only saw that it was a slender shadow in red, as for whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, they were all at a loss.

I saw the red-clothed figure say, "Don't hurt anyone!" was a man's voice.

Next, I saw him quickly jump onto the strange bird.

The strange bird shook and wanted to drop the red-clothed figure down, but this figure was like a ghost, always attached to the strange bird and refused to move for half a minute, causing the strange bird to scream and jump violently, jumping again and again, and had already forgotten the meaning of eating Han Jiangliu.

Huaizhong and Han Jiangliu both noticed the changes that had occurred in front of them, and the strange bird was a man dressed in red.

I saw that he was thin and tall, like a bamboo pole, wearing a groom's red clothes, but the big red flower on his chest was already scattered and did not look good. In retrospect, it turned out that he was running very fast just now, and the red flowers had been blown off by the wind.

Look at the face again, the eyebrows are colorful, and the eyes are like Lang Xing: the eight-character eyebrows are serious, and the eyes are like stars. Small nose, big mouth, slightly mustache in the middle and under the chin.

It's not particularly ugly, but it's far from being good-looking.

I didn't expect that a thin man who was so unremarkable and seemed to be about to fall when the wind blew could be able to deal with strange birds for so long, which is really unseemly.

I saw the thin man on the strange bird, his legs firmly clamped and did not move, but his hands were not idle, he grabbed the scales on the bird's neck hard, tore off a piece, threw away a piece, and the scales fell to the ground one by one, making a sound of gold and stone.
