Chapter 25: Ambiguity [First Update]
The Taoxi faction ranks fifty-nine among the one hundred and twenty-two vassal sects of the Fire Emblem War Sect, which is neither big nor small, with an elegant environment and no quarrel with the world, but it is quite favored by grassroots monks.
However, there are no rules, no circle, and no matter how indisputable the sect is, it also has its rules and regulations, and the Taoxi faction is no exception.
"Peach Creek Phantom Punishment" is a punishment technique created by the ancestor of the Taoxi faction, Phantom Creek Zhenren, used to punish the stubborn disciples who violate the rules of the door, the power of its spell is light or heavy, all determined by the mind of the caster, the light one closes the five senses, thinks for a few days, and the heavy one is trapped in the illusion and tortured by the harsh illusion!
Zhou Kang's state at this time was obviously a heavy punishment! It looked like he was in a nightmare, but in fact, the pain he suffered at this time was far more than a nightmare!
"Senior Brother Zhou should be more rational when he gets this punishment..."
Zhuang He calmed down for a while, and said apologetically to Yi Qian, who was still on guard: "One penny... Fellow Daoist, Senior Brother Zhou, he was just confused for a while, and now he has been punished by my father's Taoxi Illusion Punishment Technique, and I hope you don't worry about it..."
Yi Qian looked at Zhou Kang carefully, his true power fluctuated endlessly, but it was disorganized, obviously to the point where he was delirious and unable to control himself!
The Peach Creek faction has such a strange technique... Don't stay long!
"Yi still has trivial matters, and it is inconvenient to thank the head of your faction, and I hope that Miss Zhuang will be accommodating. ”
Seeing that he was determined to leave, Zhuang He sighed lightly in his heart, and he couldn't say anything about keeping him anymore, so he had to wait for Yi Qian to retrieve the storage bag and other things, and then send him out of the Taoxi faction.
The peach blossom trees are endless, and the sea of peach pink petals seems to have no end, so beautiful that people feel like they are in a fantasy world, but Yi Qian has no leisure to appreciate it.
Zhou Kang, who was on the second floor of Jindan, had no resistance and was in the "Peach Creek Illusion Punishment Technique", without even a hint of warning! If the other party was interested, I am afraid that Yi Qian's life and death would be kneaded at will!
Yi Qian is like a mang on his back, Xiao Wu is like a big enemy, a person and a mouse tense up with Zhuang He forward, and when the long peach grove comes to the end, the eyes suddenly open up!
Dead wood, wilderness, and a lonely village in the distance, only a hundred zhang away, but the landscape outside is very different from the pleasant environment in the Taoxi Pie!
A thin layer of pale pink light curtain separates the inside and outside, like two worlds!
Not far away, you can see more than a dozen disciples of the Taoxi Sect receiving a group of people outside the light curtain, and at a glance, the black pressure is full of people, among which there are many wealthy merchants dressed luxuriously and monks with high cultivation.
"Due to the preservation of the [Spring Peach Liangyi Array], the perennial climate in my Taoxi faction is pleasant, and many people and monks from other villages and towns will come to spend the winter, and every winter, it is the most lively time for the Taoxi faction~"
Zhuang He bit his lower lip and asked, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you go and take a look at the market over there before leaving?" Many snacks and delicacies that are rare on weekdays are only available at this time..."
Seeing the hope in her eyes, Yi Qian couldn't bear it in his heart, and nodded after hesitating for a moment.
"In this case, Miss Lao Zhuang has led the way. ”
“... Really?!" Zhuang He didn't expect him to really agree, and he was immediately overjoyed, and pulled Yi Qian to run to the market where the crowd gathered in the distance.
"Let's go eat sugar leaf buns, they taste good!"
Letting this soft little hand pull, Yi Qian suddenly felt a little strange.
"Girl... It's not as dangerous as the master said..."
In the peach blossom forest, the figures of teenagers and girls disappeared at the end of a red patch.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The bustling crowd and noisy market make it feel like returning to the Bailing Market in Shangyang City, but the scenery here is too much better.
Buildings of different styles are interspersed among the peach forests, connecting into a large market for several miles, and the scale is like a small city.
The people who had just entered the [Spring Peach Liangyi Array] took off their thick winter clothes one after another, walked into the market wearing only small coats and sweatshirts, and immediately diverted to all directions, looking for the accommodation they had rented here before.
Zhuang He pulled Yi Qian around in the market, and everyone who saw it looked sideways!
"Isn't that Miss Zhuang? When did she find a Taoist companion?"
"This kid looks at the face of the student! I don't know which young talent it is..."
"How can a young talent wear leather armor? Isn't it the beast cultivator who dresses like this?"
"Shhhh
......
Along the way, Yi Qian's face was feverish, and Zhuang He, who led the way in front, was even more red-faced, but the little hand still pulled Yi Qian tightly, looking fearless of rumors, and falling in the eyes of passers-by was undoubtedly an affirmation of Yi Qian's "identity".
The disciples of the Taoxi faction, who were responsible for maintaining order in the market, looked at each other when they saw this, who in the sect did not know that the head disciple Zhou Kang was Miss Zhuang He's most powerful suitor? Now that Miss Zhuang He appeared in front of the public with a strange man, this behavior was too ambiguous...
"Shall we go and tell the master?" a younger Taoxi disciple cautiously asked the senior brother beside him.
"Tell me, I'm afraid the head of the sect already knew about this!" The senior brother looked like he had seen through the inside story, and said in a low voice: "How can you and I speculate about the master's supernatural powers? We shouldn't have seen it!"
The young disciple's face was abrupt: "What Senior Brother said is true!"
......
Sitting by the window on the second floor of a small restaurant, Yi Qian sat like pins and needles.
He can be regarded as having seen Zhuang He's status in the Taoxi faction, originally the second floor was full of guests, but as soon as the two of them sat down, those people left their food money and quietly went downstairs, not out of fear of Zhuang He, but as if they couldn't bear to disturb...
"We're like this... Isn't there something wrong?" the pure Yi Qian was slightly apprehensive in his heart.
"You are my savior, what's wrong with me entertaining you?" Zhuang He, who has always been weak, was quite tough at this time, but the blush on his cheeks that had not faded was clearly visible, proving that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
After a while, the two Xiao Er walked upstairs with all kinds of side dishes, placed them on the table of Yi Qian and the two of them with quick movements, bowed respectfully, and then retreated without saying a word.
Four dishes and one soup, all of them are fragrant, the most eye-catching, is the purple leaf bamboo cage in the center, inside which are nine small buns on the purple bamboo leaves, golden and round, full of color, smell but not too heavy taste.
"This is the famous sugar leaf bun~ Only sold during this time, you can try it while it's hot~"
Zhuang He urged, but he didn't do it first, but looked at Yi Qian eagerly like a little girl who was offering treasures.
"Okay!" Yi Qian didn't shirk, he hadn't eaten for a few days, he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, so he immediately picked up a bun and handed it to Xiao Wu on his shoulder, and then he buried his head and ate it violently.
Noticing Yi Qian's move, Zhuang He looked at Xiao Wu who was holding the bun and gnawing wildly.
"Your relationship is really good~"
"Hmm... Oh, yes... Hmm..."Yi Qian responded vaguely, and suddenly he made a move!
In Zhuang He's scream, several strong winds hit the back of Yi Qian's head!
......
