The locust trees block out the sun and provide shade, and the garden is filled with the fragrance of wormwood.
Looking at the iron ring and iron cover in the pit, the Fire Crossbow guards jumped for joy and hurriedly urged Hong Zhiye to open it quickly, as if a dusty secret was about to be revealed.
Hong Zhiye had been busy for a long time and was so tired that he was out of breath. He stood in the pit with his hand on the iron shovel and complained that his back hurt.
Seeing that he was useless, the Fire Crossbow Guards had no choice but to pull him away from the pit. Immediately, they all volunteered, stretched out their arms, each holding an iron ring, shouted in unison, and exerted their strength together.
There was a loud "buzz" sound, and the iron cover finally lifted off the ground and was thrown aside by everyone, revealing a dark pit, but it didn't look like a box full of gold and silver?
At this moment, a figure unexpectedly jumped into the pit and disappeared without a trace. Everyone saw clearly that it was Hong Zhiye who had just become weak!
By the time the Fire Crossbow Guards reacted and clamored to jump down and give chase, Zhu Yanli had already rushed here with a sullen face, stopped everyone and said: "This old fox! He has tricked all our brothers. However, the situation below is unknown, and there may be some trap." If you are laying an ambush, don't risk your life. As for whether it is a secret room or a secret passage, you might as well light up some fireworks and test it out."
The Fire Crossbow Guards immediately responded and quickly found dead grass and dead wood and piled them beside the pit. When the firewood was ignited and thick smoke came out, everyone immediately wielded their iron shovels and swords, pushed the firewood into the pit, and then retrieved it again. An iron cover seals the pit.
Ten breaths later, a line of thick smoke was seen rising outside the wall of Xishifang and slanting into the sky. It was their masterpiece!
Outside Xuanyuan Temple of Taiwei Palace, ancient ginkgo trees tower into the sky, and the trees are full of new leaves rustling in the breeze.
In the Ginkgo Courtyard, a whirlpool of yellow hair suddenly flew over, blowing the two maids who were watering the flowers and sweeping the leaves so dizzy that they fainted to the ground.
The dragon whirled away, revealing two slightly embarrassed figures: one was groggy, with a gray face, it was Wang Jin, who was almost shaken by Liu Xiaomu's "Nine Shao Eight Sounds Technique". The other was dragging a double-headed Xuanhua Ax, his lower abdomen was bleeding, but it was Huo Xiantong, the "Holy Lord of Yanshan" who brought him back.
Wang Jin glanced at the maid who fell aside, and wanted to call someone over to treat their injuries. However, Huo Xiantong waved his hand to stop him: "Mr. Qi, this sage's skin injury can heal on its own without the need for decoction. I have tried my best to help you with today's matter; as for the matters mentioned before, I hope Duke Qi will give you an accurate answer."
Wang Jin endured the pain in his left hand and grunted loudly: "Holy Lord! Today, not only have the monsters not been eliminated, but I have also lost two important treasures, the 'Chengying Sword' and the 'Nirvana Pagoda'. Can this be considered 'trying your best'?!" At that time, the holy aunt was trapped in the formation, and it was a great opportunity to kill her in one fell swoop, but you were too late to take action; you had to wait until her help arrived and you were defeated before you came out to help. What's the point?!"
Huo Xiantong then grinned and said: "Jie Jie! Why did Duke Qi get so angry! I only knew then that Duke Qi was going to deal with my unmarried wife, so he was soft-hearted and merciful. Why don't Duke Qi choose something else to do? For those who are killed, I will sacrifice their heads on the day I choose. As for those few things, let’s not mention anything else for the time being, except for the "Sword Like Water", I have already responded to others, and it is inevitable that I will get it. If the Duke of Qi is lucky, If you find it, please give me your love."
Wang Jin sneered and said: "The Holy Lord is so scheming! That 'Rushui Sword' is such a magical weapon, how can it be counteracted by just a few lives? Unless you can uproot Zoroastrianism and kill them all, I will This is your fault!"
Huo Xiantong raised his thick eyebrows: "This is not difficult at all. It's just empty talk. Only after the palace envoy finds the 'Sword Like Water' can I take action. Otherwise, once the killing is over, the feeling of thunder and punishment from the nine heavens will fall."
, it’s not easy to bear. Jie Jie!”
Wang Jin saw that he was "not a rabbit but an eagle", so he had nothing to do, so he suppressed the depression in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Since the Holy Lord does not want to stay for healing, I have no choice but to stay, so please do it yourself!"
Huo Xiantong was not upset, however. He turned around and turned into a yellow salon spinner, disappearing in an instant.
Wang Jin then turned around, walked to the two maids, raised his feet and kicked: "Get up! Go find a doctor quickly! I am injured..."
Huo Xiantong escaped from the Ginkgo Villa and went straight to the northwest corner of Taiwei Palace, a house that few people visited.
Yuan Zhongwu was still lying on the old case, his face was gray, his mouth was drooling, but he slept soundly. However, his legs and arms were tied with ropes, tied to the old case, and he could not break free.
Huo Xiantong smiled sinisterly, walked directly behind Yuan Zhongwu, lifted the hem of his robe, and started moving again.
Yuan Zhongwu was in pain and immediately woke up from his dream. He couldn't help but burst into tears again. Compared with the time when he was humiliated at noon, the pain was even more unbearable. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the various ways he had been humiliated by him over the years.
The faces of the women who passed by were frightened, angry, helpless, ashamed, angry, and desperate, stacked together, and now they actually looked like him...
I don't know how long it took, but Huo Xiantong left with satisfaction. The room became dark, and Yuan Zhongwu lay half-dead on the old case, his eyes dull, staring at something, like a dying fish.
It wasn't until several guards broke into the house that they untied him, put him in a car, and drove him to Yingchuan.
The red sun sets in the west without any hesitation.
Liu Xiaomu returned to the old courtyard of the Beggar Gang in the afternoon. Under Xiaoman's service, he boiled water for a bath and then slept together in the tent.
When I woke up, the courtyard was already full of slanting light. The beggars who had gone out to beg for food came back one after another. As usual, they paid their bills, ate mixed porridge, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Xiao Man carried a wooden box and stepped in. The aroma of the food immediately escaped, causing Liu Xiaomu to move his index finger: "Xiao Man, what is tonight's dinner? Why is it so fragrant?"
Xiaoman smiled and said: "Long Gang Leader heard that we had a fierce battle with Taiwei Palace in the morning, and thought that the energy consumption must be quite big, so he roasted a whole chicken in a palm bowl, poured a pot of wine, and served it with Hu pancakes and side dishes.
, asked someone to deliver it."
Liu Xiaomu's phoenix eyes turned slightly, and she also laughed out loud: "It's hard for Gang Leader Long to be so thoughtful, he actually knows that my fox tribe likes chicken the most. We don't use his food for free. When we move out of here in a few days, we will leave more money for him.
.”
Xiaoman's eyes gradually turned red: "Auntie has left Zoroastrianism and is going back to the Fox Clan? Will she find time to come back and teach Xiaoman Kung Fu again?"
Liu Xiaomu knew that she came to the Central Plains alone and had no one to rely on. She only knew him a little bit. Therefore, she had a long-lasting attachment to her in her heart. He knew that she would leave sooner or later, so it was naturally difficult to leave her. So she said softly.
: "Even if my aunt is not a holy aunt, she is still Xiaoman's aunt. If Xiaoman misses her aunt, she will use the 'Chaoyin Bell' to send messages to her.
You are a Zoroastrian saint and protector of the Frost Moon. Even if you do not become the leader of the religion in the future, your status in the religion is already transcendent. If anyone dares to bully you, tell your aunt and she will come and teach that person a lesson for you... Okay
! Let’s eat something first. Auntie has many things to tell you before she leaves!”
Xiao Man then broke down in tears and smiled. He quickly put away the food, took two more "Crane Shang Cups", filled them with wine, and then led Liu Xiaomu to the main seat and sat down.
He stood on one side with a wine pot in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, just like in the past, he wanted to serve Liu Xiaomu before eating the rest of the meal.
Liu Xiaomu's heart warmed up, and he looked at her and said, "Sit down! From now on, you won't need these humble etiquette when you have dinner with your aunt. Today you defeated Wang Jin, and there is meat and wine, so you can have two more glasses with your aunt!"
"
Xiaoman felt a little nervous at first, but after a few glasses of wine went down his stomach, his cheeks were slightly warm, his pride gradually grew, and he became more and more comfortable in his movements.
Liu Xiaomu looked at it and felt relieved, knowing that she was not a person with no independent opinions. It was just that she used to treat herself as a little girl beside her, being submissive and obeying her orders, so she seemed to have no independent opinions. Today, she was called
The monks and nuns set up an array to stop them in the peach forest. It was Xiaoman who commanded the congregation and set up an "eight-legged silk formation", which made the armored guards' siege and killing intentions completely failed. The calmness and decisiveness of the armored guards in the face of danger are really impressive.
Stunning.
"Hey! The 'Wuyun Pulp' smells so good! It's brought out the greed in the third master's stomach! Hehehehe!"
Before he finished speaking, a shaggy-haired man appeared in front of the table. He stared at the coarse porcelain wine bottle on the table and praised him sincerely. He held a chicken neck in his hand and gnawed it down to only the skeleton.
His mouth was full of chicken feathers. The saliva hung on his beard. When the dim yellow lamp was illuminated, it suddenly became crystal clear.
The big man was Liu Dingchen. Seeing Liu Xiaomu's disdainful expression, he turned his head away and was not embarrassed. Da Lala sat down beside the case and smiled at Xiao Man: "With meat and no wine, it's like chewing wax. Xiao Nizi, give me three
Let me pour you a bowl first to quench your thirst and then talk!"
Xiao Man naturally recognized this Mr. Liu, and he quickly and obediently agreed. He stood up, took out a thick porcelain bowl, placed it in front of the big man, and poured out most of the wine in the pot, and then poured out the thick porcelain bowl.
The porcelain bowl is filled.
Liu Dingchen couldn't wait any longer, so he grabbed the porcelain bowl, raised his neck, and drank the full bowl of wine without even letting out a burp. He wiped the chicken feathers from his mouth, smacked his lips and said, "Like this
It’s so unsatisfying to drink! Xiao Nizi, go and beg for money from that old beggar, he will definitely give you a lot of money!”
After Liu Dingchen said that, he actually took out a silver collar, which was twelve taels in size. Not to mention one jar, ten jars of the "Five Clouds Pulp" brewed by an ordinary wine shop would be more than enough.
Liu Xiaomu knew that he intended to drive Xiaoman away, so he also told him: "Xiaoman, if Gang Leader Long has already gone to bed, you can go directly to the wine shop behind the yard and buy more and bring it back."
After Xiaoman left, Liu Xiaomu frowned and said, "Third brother, where did that chicken in your hand come from?"
Liu Dingchen looked embarrassed and said with twinkling eyes: "Of course... I caught it by chance. Third brother likes this. It's not like you don't know it."
Liu Xiaomu snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know. This chicken is a hen raised in the front yard to lay eggs. I have raised it for more than two years, but I gave it to you unexpectedly. When you leave today, remember to leave your money.
To compensate others, since we are in the human race, we should abide by the rules of the human race."
Liu Dingchen knew that he was in the wrong and nodded in agreement. He hesitated for a while before saying: "Little sister, third brother just found out today that you have become a Taoist friend with that human kid! If you follow the rules of the human race, you should have 'different ways for humans and monsters, and each should go his own way.'"
That's right. What's the reason for you to act like this? Do you really want to disobey your parents' wishes and ignore the tiger clan's marriage contract?"
Liu Xiaomu's heart sank, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Third brother, very few people know about this matter. Where did you know about it?"
Liu Dingchen rubbed his brows, as if he had a headache: "How do I know? Today in the cherry blossom bush, you took off your clothes and took off your belt without being shy, but you made the little Taoist priest blush all over. You have always come from
You have such a high regard, how could you ever be so defenseless against a human kid?"
Liu Xiaomu calmed himself down, pretending not to care and said: "So what's the matter! It is offensive to the human race to be naked, but when we demon race cultivated human bodies, we were naked, so why should we care about the world's eyes?
"
When Liu Dingchen saw this, he couldn't help but became anxious: "Little sister! You are devoted to cultivating Taoism and don't want to get married, so this is up to you. But since I, the Liu clan of the fox clan, have made a marriage contract with the Huo clan of the tiger clan, there is no room for regrets.
When the time comes when the tiger clan comes to welcome the bride, if they don't find you, they will definitely become angry and angry. When the time comes, what will you care about your parents?"
Liu Xiaomu's eyes dimmed slightly, and her heart was at a loss: If she could think of some way to solve the problem, she wouldn't have escaped secretly...
