Chapter 23 Save Zhu Shitian at night

More than a month later, Li Jiu and Zilan came to the border of Hengzhou with a smile and stayed overnight in an inn outside Hengyang City. At dinner time, the two were eating in the lobby, and the most famous food in Hengzhou was sweet and sour silver scale fish, white steamed pig's feet, white duck, and soy goose legs. Li Jiu is accustomed to walking the rivers and lakes, so he naturally knows everything about it, and even if he orders Xiao Erdu to come to these signature dishes. Zilan smiled when she ate. Suddenly, I heard a table of guests in the distance saying while eating: "It's a pity that this Zhu Mansion family didn't even run out, and the huge Zhu Mansion was burned to the ground." Someone asked, "But it's gone?" The man on the first seat said: "Who knows? Some people say that on the night of that day, a gang of wicked people rushed into Zhu's mansion and burned it to death, but then this person changed his story and said that he had seen it wrong that day, and who knows what is strange here." Li Jiu called Xiao Er and asked, "Dare to ask the little second brother, what they are talking about is Zhu Shitian's Mansion?" After saying that, he didn't leave, and walked around, Li Jiu smiled and said: "It takes a lot of time to pass on the word, and it is also appropriate to buy jar wine to moisten the tongue." He took out a piece of loose silver from his arms and quietly stuffed it into him, and the little two immediately smiled all over his face. picked up the wine jug and poured wine for the two, and said, "Where is there a second Zhu Mansion in Hengzhou, isn't it Zhu Shitian Zhu's mansion." If you want to say that this old man Zhu is really the richest man in our Hengzhou, he is said to be a big family, but other people's big families, that is, the old man, the lady and the lady wear silk and satin, but this Zhu Mansion, even the horseman who feeds the horses is wearing a black silk robe, can this be compared? Li Jiuqi said: "What's strange about Zhu Shitian?" The little two smiled and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, right? That is, when you meet a villain, you may not be able to explain it if you change to someone else, if you want to say that this Hengzhou is a big monster, it is that Zhu Shitian is rich and does not pass on to the world!" Li Jiudao: "This Zhu family was really burned to the ground by the fire, and it can't be passed on to the next generation, but who said this rumor, it is really iron-clad." The little second said: "But it's not like this, who dares to rumor that the Zhu family is not good?" but that Zhu Shitian Zhu is extremely rich but does not marry a wife, does not take concubines, and has no heirs, guest officer, do you say it is strange?" Li Jiudao: "Sure enough, it is not logical, it is very strange." The little two sighed and said, "It's a pity that those gold and silver jewels were burned to ashes in vain." Alas. It would be better to reward the villain if he knew this. Li Jiu asked again: "This fire is so strange, there must be a lot of people who want to come to the big families of Zhu Mansion to patrol the night, why can this fire burn?" Xiao Er said: "In the evening that day, the sound of fighting suddenly came from Zhu Mansion, some people thought that the bandits had looted Zhu Mansion, so they flew to assassinate Shi Mansion, and the old man of Assassin Shi lit the city guards to quell the rebellion, but who knew that the fire had already burned when it arrived. I didn't see any bandits, and then it was gone. For some reason, the policeman changed his story and said that he was drunk and had seen the wrong thing, and that there had been no bandits. Alas, this old man Zhu, who trembled when he stomped his feet in Hengyang City, was actually burned to ashes in the fire. This thing seems very strange. Li Jiu couldn't ask anything when he saw it, and waved his hand to let Xiao Er leave, but Xiao Er was chattering, still chattering and nagging for a while before leaving.

Zilan guarded the table full of delicacies, eating with relish, seeing Li Jiu frowning and thinking hard, she said: "Senior brother, we don't know any Zhu Shitian, why do you have to think about this matter." Li Jiudao: "Senior sister, let's go down the mountain this time, not only to hone our experience in the rivers and lakes, but also to investigate the world for the Tianshan faction, this matter is strange, in case there is anything to do with the rivers and lakes, we must know." ”

After dinner, it was not early, although the two had already been in love, but after all, they had not yet married, so they had to be courteous to each other, and opened two upper rooms in the inn to rest separately.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a very thin whistle in the distance outside the window, and then there was a sound of Xixisuo in the next room, and someone murmured: "I have come here from afar, and I haven't even fallen asleep, so I am going to ......." The other person shouted in a low voice: "You criticize the Dharma Protector behind your back, don't die!" Li Jiu's internal strength is both high and naturally outstanding, and he secretly thought to himself at the moment: "What kind of Dharma protector does this person say, is it the Immortal Crane Sect in the north?" The two got dressed, gently pushed open the window, and seeing that there was no one around, they jumped down from the window and ran to the southwest.

Seeing the two leave, Li Jiu immediately got up and followed. After running for more than half an hour in the dark night, the two came to a bamboo forest and saw a bonfire burning in the glade, and many people whispered around the bonfire. Another person was tied to a thick bamboo with five flowers. After a while, there was a melodious flute sound in the distance, and with the sound of the flute, a young man in a white robe, holding a jade flute, stepped on the leaves from the bamboo forest. The steps are extremely light and elegant, like a fairy volley. Li Jiu said secretly: "This person is so light-hearted. I just don't know how martial arts are. ”

The man was very handsome. It's just that his expression is extremely arrogant.

When everyone saw it, they immediately danced and worshiped on the ground, and shouted in unison: "The Crane Divine Sect, the sun and the moon shine together, and the heaven and earth live together." Shenguangzi protector, wise Shenwu, we will obey. ”

The Divine Photon Protector raised his head and snorted coldly, "The little ones are doing their best, and I will explain it to the sect leader in the future." Everyone shouted in unison: "Thank you for protecting the Dharma." ”

Li Jiu thought to himself that it was really the Immortal Crane Divine Sect gathering here, but this so-called Divine Light Son didn't know where he was, he had never seen this person in the rivers and lakes before, and this person could serve as a protector in the sect, and it seemed that his cultivation was not shallow.

The god light son pointed to the man tied to Nanzhu: "Is this that Zhu Shitian?" Li Jiu was shocked when he heard this, and when he heard Xiao Er in the inn say that this person was burned to death in the fire, he didn't believe it in his heart, how could this Zhu Shitian die so easily, presumably it was just through this fire to hide from his death, but he didn't know what had happened. Seeing that Zhu Shitian was tied in front of him, but he was originally pampered and well-treated, but now his clothes were broken, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his expression was languishing. If it weren't for the divine light, I would almost not recognize it.

A man in an earthy yellow cloth shirt hurriedly trotted two steps forward, and said: "If you return to the god photon protector, this person is that Zhu Shitian, this guy is dressed up as a beggar and hid in the land temple, if he is not fat and white, the little ones may not recognize him, and when the little ones see the flaws, they will start to take him, but I didn't expect this guy's martial arts to be really good, and even injured several of our good players." In the end, he used cartilage powder, and only when his muscles and bones were soft and numb did he take him down. ”

Li Jiu said curiously in his heart: "This cartilage powder is a poison used by the descendants of the Guangjun in the Tubo area, how can this group of people know how to use it, isn't this group of people having some relationship with the Guangjun?"

The light army is the Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo's descendant army, the combat effectiveness is extremely powerful, according to legend, the light army's martial arts teaching is a monk from Tianzhu, all kinds of martial arts and methods are completely different from the Central Plains factions. After the death of Songtsen Gampo, the Guangjun was disbanded, and those monks settled in Shanzhou, Hezhou, and Kuozhou on the border of Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, and promoted Buddhism and taught martial arts around Qinghai Lake. Over time, the Qinghai faction was formed, but this Qinghai faction was located in a corner near Qinghai and rarely set foot in the Central Plains. Therefore, although the Central Plains martial arts are classified as evil sects because of their martial arts that are different from common sense, they are at peace with each other.

The Divine Photon snorted coldly: "Now that we are all members of the Immortal Crane God Sect, the sect leader has given the name of the Western Bliss Great Pill, don't you know? The man was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, the sleeves of Shenguangzi's robe waved, and the bonfire shrank violently, and after an instant, it exploded, and the fire was several times larger, and the color was no longer red and yellow just now but blue-green, and it was extremely strange to reflect the blue and green on the human face. The heat of this fire ball was extremely violent, forcing everyone to retreat incessantly. He still shouted in his mouth: "The divine power of the Divine Photon Protector is beyond the world." ”

Li Jiu secretly laughed to himself: "This divine photon is making a fool of himself, just now he must have thrown the Flame Pill and other combustion-boosting drugs into the fire. Although the technique is ingenious, this pharmaceutical skill seems to be quite inferior to that of Miao Jiang and Hainan. ”

The divine photon flicked his finger at the fire, and the spark flew out at three o'clock and landed on the man, and the sound of "snort" sounded,

A scorching smell permeated, and the man seemed to be quite hard, but at the moment he was rolling on the ground in pain. The men on the rivers and lakes will not hurt like this even if they cut people three times, presumably the sparks contain toxins. Shen Guangzi said: "Shen Fengzi, you have done your best for this sect in the past few years, but your memory is not good, and this seat will punish you for a long time, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation in the future." You can heal your wounds." The ghost cried wolf in pain, but he didn't forget to thank him: "Thank you Shen Guangzi Dharma Protector teachings! Thank you Shen Guangzi Dharma Protector teachings!" Struggling to get up, his feet were forked, his hands crossed from under his crotch, he grabbed his heels, and slowly breathed on the ground with his head on the ground. Although this posture is weird, it looks extremely effective, and the kamikaze was trembling with pain just now, and soon his face was pale.
