Reunion

Zuo Zi'an laughed at the words of those Jianghu people, and without hesitation, he reached out again to pick up the bowl in Ling Qingyan's hand, but Mo Weifeng suddenly came out of the crowd, walked in front of Ling Qingyan, and said calmly: "Give it to me." ”

Ling Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the crowd around him who still didn't move, "You should have heard their words, aren't you afraid of being poisoned by me?" Or drink something that makes you feel disgusting?"

Mo Weifeng sniffed the bowl of scarlet blood and said with a smile: "To be honest, this is already quite disgusting. ”

"Then why do you dare to drink it?" Ling Qingyan frowned, and shouted angrily, Mo Weifeng said with a straight face: "It is better to be disgusted to death than to be a turtle with a shrunken head!" Besides, since my good brother chooses to believe you, even if it is a real poison, I can only drink it with him!"

Ling Qingyan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "You are very righteous! Since you are a friend of my good friend, then you are also my friend of Ling Qingyan." It's all yours!" She slapped the remaining porcelain jar of snake blood on the table, "If you don't drink it, you're not a real man!"

Zuo Zi'an saw that there were still several large bowls in the porcelain jar, and was about to stop it, but Ling Qingyan walked around the other side of the stone table to stop him, and said softly: "Good friend, what are you afraid of? This brother of yours has a pale face, his steps are vain, and he has obvious symptoms of lack of qi and blood and cold qi around his body. If he is really righteous enough and can drink the blood of my Five Immortal Sect, he will naturally be able to go to this illness, lest he will be old in the future and will not even be able to walk. ”

Zuo Zi'an suddenly understood that Mo Weifeng was bleeding too much after being seriously injured that day, and he jumped into the river to escape for his life. In Shuzhong in this season, the river water is already cold to the bone, so although he barely saved his life, if he does not recover well, he is afraid that he will really leave some sequelae. Zuo Zi'an pursed his thin lips and said sincerely: "I thanked Lord Ling Zhuang for his life-saving grace." ”

"What is the owner of Ling Zhuang who is not the owner of the village, we Miao family women, don't talk about the rules and politeness of your Han people!

Seeing that she was impatient with these politenesses, Zuo Zi'an remembered that such Miao women in the Five Immortals Sect had limited knowledge of the words of the Han people, but they liked to be praised by others for their youth and beauty. Originally, I wanted to follow Ling Hu Chong on a whim and call "good girl", but I thought about it and swallowed it back, cough cough, it was indeed frivolous. In modern society, he knows that this brother and sister are the most unclear. "If you call me 'good friend', then I'll call you that, okay?"

Ling Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, good friend!" and turned to the crowd: "A group of cowards! This snake was raised by my Five Immortals Sect with ginseng, deer antler velvet, and countless miraculous medicines, and it would take ten years to cultivate a snake. Drinking this blood can not only ward off poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, but also help you resist the pain of smoke miasma and the cold of the snow mountains. There are only a few of them in the whole church. Since you don't have long eyes, you can only give them to my good friends!"

When I heard that this snake blood had such an effect, all the people present were high-rollers from the rivers and lakes who traveled north and south, and there were no longer a few relatives who were bitten to death by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and there were even more people who lived in the lofty mountains and were plagued by smoke miasma, although they still had relatives to the Five Immortals Sect, they couldn't help but be moved. But seeing that the blood had been drunk, he could only scratch his ears and cheeks, and I don't know who shouted: "Master Lingzhuang, no, we roasted the snake, it's good to eat meat without drinking the blood!"

Ling Qingyan waved his hand, signaling them to be casual. Everyone was excited, and they wanted to roast the giant snake, but they didn't dare to move lightly, and looked at Shen Chenyan sitting on the stone chair.

Shen Chenyan was watching this good show, he was still unsatisfied, and he was funny in his heart, but his face was silent, he just nodded, Qunhao suddenly cheered and indulged, hurriedly opened the iron cage, and more than a dozen people carried the giant snake out, although the giant snake had lost all its blood and died no longer dead, but its ugly and hideous face was still better than before death.

Zuo Zi'an saw that the surroundings were in turmoil again, and his vision was disturbed, and he lost Shen Chenyan's figure almost instantly. couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, he worked hard, and he didn't hesitate to take the burden of Mo Weifeng to come to Qionglai to pick up Tianling, just to see Shen Chenyan again. Who knew that he only saw her from a distance, but he couldn't even say a word.

In the midst of extreme annoyance, the familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Why did you come here?" The voice was fresh and soft, but with a hint of coldness. I saw Shen Chenyan with his hands behind his back, his white shirt dragging to the ground, and he walked over step by step, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"I'm coming to see you!" After Zuo Zi'an blurted out, he felt that something was wrong, was he considered a "trespass on a private house" before? And spying on other people's letters? Which one is enough to be sentenced! Sure enough, Shen Chenyan's face changed, and his eyes suddenly became cold, "You already know my identity?"

Zuo Zi'an finally decided, to tell the truth, and confessed leniently: "At the beginning, I really didn't know that you would actually be the valley master of the 'Styx River Valley'. Later, when I was leaving, I went...... I didn't mean to go to your house! I didn't expect the mechanism to open at the touch of a button, and then I saw someone else's prayer post. The more he spoke, the more weak he became, and he couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look at Shen Chenyan's face.

Shen Chenyan knew as soon as she heard that this was not a lie, the stone gate of the cave in the mountain had no mechanism, and the worship post was indeed thrown on the table by her at will, as long as she knew that Zuo Zi'an didn't know her identity as the valley owner of the "Styx River Valley" when she knew her, nothing else mattered. "Then why did you go there when you left, and why did you come to see me?"

Hearing her question, he didn't seem to be angry, Zuo Zi'an raised his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "I can't tell myself." However, I always feel that if I have the opportunity to see you and I don't go, I will definitely regret it. ”

Shen Chenyan's eyebrows raised slightly, and an indescribable strange emotion lingered in his heart. In fact, when she heard Zuo Zi'an's words, she knew that he was also worried about herself, and she was also happy in her heart, and she turned her face slightly and smiled, like a red lotus rising to the surface in the firelight, radiant.

The two of them were a little speechless, and the second Qin of Qinjiazhai stood still in front of Shen Chenyan from a distance, and said respectfully: "May I ask the senior of the valley master, when will the golden statue be burned and recast?"

"Melting, recasting, why?" Zuo Zi'an saw that the statue was ingenious, and in terms of artistic value, it could be called a national treasure, and if it was melted, the believers who believed in the great god of "Brahma" would not have to finish it!

When Qin Lao Er saw Zuo Zi'an standing beside Shen Chenyan, he did not shy away from it, but was quite close. Although he didn't know Zuo Zi'an before, he also knew that the "Gu Master's predecessors" must have trusted him very much, and he didn't dare to slack off, "This son, if it is not burned and reforged, how can the brothers use it?" That god statue is worth a thousand gold, and it is difficult to move the knife and axe, so it can't be dispersed to the brothers at all!"

Zuo Zi'an's forehead jumped straight, it turned out that this gang of bandits had taken a fancy to this god statue made of pure gold! It was simply a tyrannical thing! It was illegal to destroy cultural relics! Qin Lao Er continued: "It is said that this is still the 'evil god' statue on the other side of Tianzhu, and no one in our Ming Dynasty dares to worship it, and there is no way to make a move." Although the brothers rolled over on the tip of the knife, this evil thing has been in the cottage for a long time, and the women and children are also afraid!"

Zuo Zi'an frowned and said, "Lord Qinzhai, can you tell me where this idol came from?"

Seeing that Shen Chenyan did not object, Qin Lao Er explained the origin of the statue in 1510. It turned out that a group of believers in this "evil god" in Tianzhu were framed by their officials and monks, smashed their idols, burned their scriptures, and drove them all to death. In order to keep a little incense, the only remaining group of pagans decided to take this most valuable ancestral idol to the Ming Dynasty to temporarily hide, who knows that the general Mu in Yunnan got the news from somewhere, knowing that the idol is worth a thousand gold, and sent killers to kill everyone and take away the idol when they were most exhausted. At the same time, the news of the flow of the god statue into the territory of Daming also fell into the ears of the nearby green foresters, large and small, and many people wanted to have a yellow finch behind. Qinjiazhai set up an ambush on the most dangerous ancient road in Qionglai Mountain, and seized the dart of the "Zhongzhou Dart Bureau".

Zuo Zi'an smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Lord Qinzhai, this is not an 'evil god', in the eyes of some Tianzhu people, this is the god who created the whole world. However, this creator god is not among the three thousand bodhisattvas of Buddhism, so it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with Buddhist disciples. This idol should be the treasure of the Tianzhu Kingdom, if you rob it, if it is destroyed, I am afraid that there will be many loyal believers of 'Brahma' who will kill you in the future!"

"Hey, am I, Qin Er, still afraid of those rabbit cubs?"

Shen Chenyan heard him say this lot, and she already knew in her heart that he was reluctant to destroy this beautiful statue, and she said disapprovingly: "Do you like this statue? If you like it, let Qin Lao Er give it to you!"

Qin Laoer's face changed instantly, but he didn't dare to say a word "no" in front of the "Stygian River Valley", and he couldn't help but feel jealous and hateful towards Zuo Zi'an. He worked hard, lay in ambush for three days and three nights on the desperate road of Xuefeng Peak, and sacrificed the priceless treasures that several brothers had only snatched, and he thought that his brothers could rest for a year and a half, but now he actually wanted to give it to others! Why? Could it be that he drank Ling Qingyan's snake blood with this little white face? But he also knew that without the permission of the "Stygian River Valley," it would be to kill himself by robbing darts on the ancient road of poison in his body!

"I'm useless! It's just a pity that such a delicate statue is ruined. Zuo Zi'an looked at Qin Laoer's face, and knew that at this moment, his heart was only afraid of dripping blood, and he didn't plan to grab a bodhisattva to go back to offer. "Lord Qinzhai, I'll give you a suggestion. If you take this road, you should have Tianzhu's connections, and you should find someone to go to Tianzhu to inquire and inquire, and ensure that if someone hears that the 'Brahma Statue' is in your hands, they will pay several times the price to redeem it! When the time comes, you can sell a lot of face to the nobles of Tianzhu, and you will not make less money, no more than if you melt this idol yourself and offend countless 'Brahma' believers?"

"Really...... Really?" Qin Lao Er never dreamed that Zuo Zi'an would directly refuse the opportunity to get this idol, after all, everyone knew the value of this idol.

Seeing that he still suspected that he wanted to forcibly seize the statue, Zuo Zi'an sneered, "If the lord of Qin Zhai doesn't believe it, then if you want to smash it or burn it, please do it." ”

Qin Lao Er confirmed that Zuo Zi'an really did not mean to rob his treasures, and his heart was relieved, and he was afraid of offending Shen Chenyan, so he hurriedly said: "Believe! Believe it......!

Shen Chenyan said coldly: "Zuo Gongzi has said 'please', do you want to burn or sell, what does it matter to me?"

Qin Lao Er had the heart to say a few more words, but he was afraid of making Shen Chenyan unhappy again, so he had to bow deeply and retreat in embarrassment.

At this moment at the mouth of the valley, there is a noble man in a brocade and blue shirt standing upright, with an extraordinary bearing, and a big man in black behind him holds up an umbrella for him to block the occasional snowflakes falling in the sky. "It's hilarious! Let's go in and have a look!"

As soon as Ling Qingyanfu saw the brocade-robed boy, his expression changed, and then he returned to normal, and walked quickly to the brocade-robed boy, his voice was almost inaudible: "Sect Master......"
