Chapter 190 Shadow in the courtyard, sorrow under the moon
The moonlight fills the sky, and silver flows to the ground. There is an instant silence in the guest room, and you can hear a needle drop.
Yang Chaoxi suddenly felt a surge of blood surge from the lower Dantian. It passed through the Middle Dantian, went straight to the Upper Dantian, and then turned down along the path of Xiao Zhoutian.
After the blood energy passed through the Jingming point, it suddenly stagnated! Then two streams of heat flowed out along the nostrils...
Nosebleed!
Yang Zhaoxi was greatly embarrassed. When he was about to wipe it, he saw a catkin hand waved in front of his eyes. The two nosebleeds actually changed direction, flew towards the wooden basin, and poured into the well water. The well water turned blood red again.
, that round place naturally disappeared into the turbid blood water.
After a few breaths, Yang Zhaoxi's nosebleeds had stopped, and her head felt dizzy! The flushed color on Xiaoman's face had completely faded, and the blood in the basin became clear again. Only the bottom of the basin was covered with a thin layer of pink.
The dust and mud are the dregs after the toxins in her body have been digested by the "blood of pure Yang".
Xiaoman opened his eyes and saw Liu Xiaomu sitting on the crescent stool with his legs crossed for the first time. He was so shocked that he knelt down on one knee: "Welcome..."
"No need to be polite! Your parents and I are old acquaintances, you should just call me aunt!" Liu Xiaomu interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said first.
Xiaoman glanced at Yang Chaoxi, who was six feet away, and thought to himself: The holy aunts must not want to expose each other's identity, so they restrained themselves from calling each other "holy aunt". She must have her reasons for doing this, I just need to cooperate
Just treat her well and don't show any flaws.
So Xiaoman nodded respectfully: "Auntie, okay! Do you know Yang Shaoxia too?"
Liu Xiaomu nodded and said with a smile: "While traveling in the mountains, we met by chance. He is a new Taoist friend of mine. Xiaoman, the aphrodisiac poison has been removed from your body. It is not advisable to soak in cold water to avoid catching the cold."
"A sneeze! A sneeze..." As if in response to Liu Xiaomu's words, Xiao Man suddenly felt a chill on his back, his face stiffened, and he sneezed three times in succession.
Liu Xiaomu frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Yang Chaoxi, and said with a faint smile: "Why are you still here? You haven't seen enough, have you? Xiaoman has to change clothes..."
Yang Chaoxi wanted to ask about the "Chaoyin Bell", but Liu Xiaomu asked him a question in return, holding back his words. He had no choice but to blush and run away. A burst of chuckles sounded from the screen.
After a long time, the whispers inside the screen gradually subsided. Although Yang Chaoxi was sitting alone in the small courtyard of the hotel, he was always paying attention to the movements in the guest room, within the reach of his ears.
Perhaps there was some formation carved by Liu Xiaomu that made the conversation between the two people blurry. Yang Zhaoxi listened for a long time and found nothing, so he simply raised his head and looked at the incomplete shadow of Toad Palace in the middle of the moon in a daze.
"Creak-" sounded, Liu Xiaomu's feet were silent, and he walked lightly: "Xiao Man is asleep. The little Taoist is really good at choosing a hotel! The guest rooms here are quiet and quiet, in the noisy Luoyang city.
, extremely rare.”
After Liu Xiaomu finished speaking, he took out four small sapphire gemstones with cattail patterns from his arms, placed them in his hands with his palms together, and recited a mantra:
Heaven, earth, heaven and earth, all energy is the root. Yin and Yang and the five elements manifest the gods. The four directions are the eyes, and the sapphire is the formation. Turn a blind eye, but not hear...
Yang Zhaoxi stood up from the stone pier, looked at the beautiful shadows under the moon, and asked curiously: "Aunt Xiaomu, what are you doing?"
Liu Xiaomu ignored him. After reciting the incantation, Qing scolded: "Sick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four sapphire gems shot out!
"Ding ding ding ding", there were four crisp sounds in a row, and the four jade pendants actually stood firmly in the four directions of east, west, north and south. They fluctuated strangely and instantly propped up an invisible barrier. Around the narrow courtyard, the original "Qi Qi" signs were The loud chirping of insects suddenly died down.
Yang Chaoxi couldn't help but praise: "What a wonderful sound-blocking method! Could it be that the one you used in the room just now is..."
Yang Zhaoxi got carried away for a moment and blurted out the words and hurriedly covered his mouth. However, it was too late.
Liu Xiaomu's willow eyebrows stood up, and her soft jade hands were as fast as light and lightning, shooting out from her silk sleeves and directly twisting his ears: "You little Taoist priest! You are really eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of us! It seems that I won't give you a good beating. This problem of peeping and eavesdropping cannot be eradicated..."
Yang Chaoxi felt severe pain at the base of his ears, and felt like he was about to be pulled down by this unruly demon cultivator. He hurriedly begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts! Let me go quickly! I won't dare to do it next time... I have only practiced in the Taoist path for more than ten years, and my eyesight and ears are both strong." He is very sensitive. It is even harder to pretend not to hear...
For example, in the guest room of "Tianzi No. 3" in the north, I want to stop listening to the murmuring voices of a man and two women, but I can't."
Liu Xiaomu let go of his hand, a blush appeared on his face, and spat: "Where are these bitches and women! Bah! They disturb people's purity!"
After saying that, with a flash of red light, like a ghost, Liu Xiaomu had already rushed in through the screen window of the guest room of 'Tianzi No. 3'. Within two breaths, the breathing and cooing in the room suddenly stopped. It was obvious that she had tampered with it. .
In an instant, Liu Xiaomu flashed back to the courtyard, clapped his hands and said, "It's much cleaner now. Little Taoist priest, I just saw you in the room but hesitated to speak, but what questions do you want to ask?"
Yang Zhaoxi swallowed her saliva, but her mood had not yet calmed down from her sudden attack. After doing some drafting, she slowly said: "Auntie, when I was looking after little girl tonight, I found a tidal wave in her shirt and skirt. The sound bell is almost exactly the same as yours. So I am very curious about what is the relationship between you and Miss Xiaoman?"
Liu Xiaomu seemed to be deep in thought, and then said calmly: "Xiaoman and I have known each other more than ten years ago. She was the daughter of a merchant in Tianzhu country. She was only four years old at the time, and she went to the Dashi Country with her parents to sell spices. Unexpectedly, they encountered sand bandits on the way, and the caravan was slaughtered. The bandit leader saw that she was a beauty, and wanted to offer her to the royal family of Shule and Suiye in exchange for a few gold coins, so he spared her life.
However, there are also talented strangers in the Western Regions who look at each other. By chance, they saw Xiaoman with a straw mark on her head in the market. He immediately saw something extraordinary about her and paid a lot of money to buy her back. Then he taught Hu Yinhan She taught her the customs of both Hu and Han, and raised her until she was an adult, then asked her to follow the camel team and come to the Central Plains to make a living. I know her adoptive father and have taught her some skills. In terms of relationship, she can be regarded as her aunt. "
Yang Zhaoxi was silent for a moment, never thinking that such a bright and intelligent woman could have such a troubled life experience. Although he lost his father when he was young, he was much luckier than her.
After a long while, Yang Chaoxi said: "So you gave her a 'Chaoyin Bell' so that she can ask you for help when she is in danger?"
"That's true. However, although she has a rough life, she is very independent and rarely uses this 'Chaoyin Bell' to come to me... unlike some little Taoist priest who, whenever she encounters trouble as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, she hugs Tao Xun and blows it on For a while, he expected me to help him clear all the obstacles." Liu Xiaomu readily acknowledged it and did not forget to insult him at the end.
Yang Chaoxi's cheeks were suddenly on fire after being insulted by her pointed words, and she wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl into.
Seeing that he remained silent, Liu Xiaomu thought he was sulking, so he changed the subject and said, "Is your left hand injured?"
"Well, a little skin injury...don't bother my aunt." Yang Zhaoxi replied calmly.
Liu Xiaomu smiled and grabbed his left hand. A stream of Yin energy poured into his palm, wrapping the wound and giving rise to a slight cooling sensation. Within ten breaths, the pain in the wound on his palm had disappeared.
Yang Zhaoxi pulled apart the silk gauze and saw that her left hand was intact as before. She wanted to thank her in her heart, but when her words came to her mouth, her taste changed: "I didn't ask you to treat me, so why are you pretending to be a good person?"
Liu Xiaomu curled his lips and couldn't help but muttered, "A dog gets on a sedan chair—it doesn't know how to lift it." Then he thought of another thing: "Little Taoist priest! Do you know what is extraordinary about Xiaoman? There will be a reward for guessing correctly!"
"What's so extraordinary? Isn't it because of her stunning appearance? Could it be..." Yang Zhaoxi's curiosity was aroused, and immediately a surprising answer flashed in her mind, and he asked, "Could it be that she is also the 'Chosen One'?
"
"You guessed it! The little Taoist priest is indeed quite quick-witted. I decided to give you a 'Chaoyin Bell' so that you don't have to envy Xiaoman and then have bad thoughts." Liu Xiaomu said with a smile, but at the same time he did not forget.
Make a joke.
"When have I ever had bad thoughts? Aunt Xiaomu, how could you make such malicious assumptions about me!" Yang Zhaoxi suddenly became furious.
Since Liu Xiaomu arrived tonight, he either teased him intentionally or made sarcastic remarks, which made him extremely embarrassed several times. Ni Bodhisattva still had a fire nature, and when she made another insinuation, he immediately became furious.
"Hey! The little Taoist priest has such a bad temper. Geez! Then I won't give you the 'Chaoyin Bell', I guess you don't care about it either." Liu Xiaomu had taken out the "Chaoyin Bell" from his arms and said
He didn't give it, but he already held the "Chaoyin Bell" in his beautiful hand and teased him in every possible way.
"Pa!" Yang Zhaoxi suddenly waved his arms and hands, grabbing the "Chaoyin Bell" and trying to take it with brute force. However, he found that the "Chaoyin Bell" was like taking root, firmly fixed on the weak and boneless body.
In Yu's hand, no matter how hard he pulled it, it still didn't move at all.
"Tsk, tsk! If you can't talk to others, you will lose your temper; if others refuse to give you, you will ruthlessly take away things. Is this what your mother taught you?" Liu Xiaomu was not angry at all, smiling playfully.
"I...my mother said, tell me to stay away from the witch!" Yang Zhaoxi was already out of anger. When she mentioned her mother, it was as if salt was rubbed into the wound. She suddenly became furious and appeared like this for no reason.
A sentence without beginning or end.
When Liu Xiaomu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes dimmed. But after half a breath, he returned to normal, and said with a sweet smile: "Oh? Since you respect your relatives, and Yang Shaoxia is a filial son, then I, a witch, can
Take the first step!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiaomu's smile faded, and together with his figure, he disappeared into thin air.
The surrounding invisible barriers disappeared in an instant, and four sapphire gems shot up, forming a stream of blue light that chased a red light in the air. In less than a breath, it disappeared without a trace.
Yang Zhaoxi's anger quickly dissipated, and she seemed to have lost all strength, and she sat slumped on the ground. Only then did her heart gradually calm down, and she couldn't help blaming herself in every possible way:
Yang Chaoxi, Yang Chaoxi! It was you who summoned Aunt Xiaomu to come over to remove the poison, and now you are motivating her away with a few words. Even though she has a weird temperament, she is still a Taoist friend that you recognize. As the saying goes, "Evil words hurt people in the coldest month of June." You said
She was unscrupulous and got angry, but she felt relieved. But she was a demon cultivator. As soon as you blew the pottery xun, she would come to you as soon as you called her, and she would leave in a hurry just because of your words. Compare her feelings to others.
, how does she feel in her heart at this moment, and how much do you take it into consideration?
He propped his elbows on the stone pier he had just been sitting on, and wanted to stand up. However, he heard a "bang" sound. His elbow seemed to push something down, and something rolled to the ground, making a crisp sound. He took a closer look.
Look, it's the "Chaoyin Bell" that he just snatched.
The night fog was gradually rising, and the moon was hazy. He held the "Chaoyin Bell" in his hands and stood there for a long time, feeling extremely guilty...
