Chapter 235 Give me a bright future
At dawn, a horse rushed to the foot of the mountain.
Yan Chixia put on her flying sword and rushed straight to Zhengqi Villa. She sheathed her sword in the air and landed in the courtyard.
In the surrounding area, officers and soldiers looked at him in awe, intent on establishing a relationship with this worldly master, but seeing his ferocious appearance, they all hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
When Yan Chixia walked into the room, the officers and soldiers shook their heads repeatedly and said that there was no immortal fate. Fortunately, the problem is not big. I have memorized the beard style of the Living God. It is aloof from the world, eclectic, and very fairy-like. I will follow this in the future.
"Master Yan, have you found Pudu Cihang's lair?"
"Well, I successfully followed him in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night I found its nest. As I expected, there was a nest full of centipedes." Yan Chixia looked disgusted.
What he said about "Following" made Pudu Cihang think that he had lost "Following". Lao Jianghu was very reliable in doing things.
"Where is the specific location?"
"Going north from here, about forty miles away, there is a Cihang Hall among the barren mountains and wild ridges..." Yan Chixia explained the situation. When he spoke, Zuo Qianhu and Fu Tianchou pricked up their ears.
It stands to reason that Zuo Qianhu should escort Fu Tianchou to Beijing at this moment, but there was too much movement last night. After the officers and soldiers discussed with the prisoners, the prisoners made a decision that it would not be too late to wait until the two Taoist priests eliminated the monsters and the road was safe before leaving.
"You may not believe it, but I saw a lot of civil and military officials from the imperial court in Cihang Hall..."
Yan Chixia frowned and said coldly: "These officials only have a piece of human skin left. Each of them has demonic aura, and the inside is full of centipedes, big and small."
Yan Chixia didn't know any of the current civil and military officials, but he had also served as an official, so he knew the clothes of officials very well. He could not misjudge the birds of civilian officials and the animals of military attachés.
"Taoist Priest, you said that there are hundreds of civil and military officials in Cihang Hall, but they were stolen and replaced by monsters. Is it true?" Fu Tianchou trembled and stepped forward tremblingly, followed by Zuo Qianhu who looked nervous.
"Who are you?"
Yan Chixia glanced at Fu Tianchou up and down.
"I, Fu Tianchou, the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, was shocked to hear what the Taoist priest said. It is hard to believe it. Please tell me the truth." Fu Tianchou bowed his hands and showed great respect.
"You can't be wrong. I have very good eyesight. If you say it's a monster, it's a monster."
Yan Chixia nodded with a rather cold tone. He had given up on the imperial court a long time ago. Not to mention the Minister of Rites who had committed an offense, he was not interested in paying attention to the emperor even when he came.
"Taoist Master, the prisoner has a merciless request. I hope that when you two are slaying demons, you can bring the officers and soldiers with you. I want to go over with Zuo Qianhu to confirm one or two things."
Fu Tianqiu looked at Yan Chixia longingly, looking at the slightly bald back of his head. He had no choice but to turn his head to look at his future son-in-law.
It's still the back of the head, but this time...
His hair was not as thick as black and was wrapped in a black cloth.
We've all said that we should subjugate demons, but you guys are lagging behind and still want to follow us, without any sense of self-consciousness. If you really want to take someone with you, that's fine. Just Zhiqiu Yiye and Zuo Qianhu, and everyone else should stand aside.
Liao Wenjie was too lazy to talk to Fu Tianqiu and looked at Yan Chixia with a frown: "It's broad daylight now. Let's go there at noon, just in time to use the weather to suppress the evil spirit and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."
"No, go again at night!"
Yan Chixia shook her head slightly, and then explained: "Tonight the Tengu eclipses the moon, which is the best opportunity to eliminate demons. Centipedes, big and small, and Pudu Cihang, who is only half alive, will all show their true colors."
"Half Pudu Cihang needs to be so cautious?"
Liao Wenjie raised his eyebrows. It would be better to be cautious. Choosing noon was also out of caution. He was just curious about Yan Chixia's attitude. She seemed to be particularly cautious about Pudu Cihang, for fear that the other party might have some back-up plans.
"Under the guise of being the protector of the country, this monster secretly devoured the imperial officials, and then replaced them with his own descendants, taking away most of the palace's luck. His wild nature and poisonous heart are rare in the world. If he can't attack with one blow, Kill them and they will leave endless troubles.”
Yan Chixia frowned tightly and let out a long sigh: "With the decline of national power, the desperation of the people, and the struggle of human nature with evil thoughts, this monster must bear at least half of the responsibility for the world's chaos."
Liao Wenjie nodded secretly. This is indeed the truth. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will be replaced by monsters, and the people below will only be more unscrupulous than them.
"Please be kind to the two Taoist priests and save all the people in the world!" Fu Tianchou knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly. Zuo Qianhu next to him also followed suit and grabbed the ground with his head.
Liao Wenjie stepped out of the way, and Yan Chixia did not want to accept the big gift. She raised her hand to pull the two of them up, and said expressionlessly: "It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. I can only kill monsters and not save the common people. I can't kneel down." No."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the house, preparing to rest and recuperate before going on a killing spree tonight.
"Senior Yan Chixia, my name is Zhiqiu Yiye. I am a post-academic scholar of the Kunlun Sect. I have long heard that my senior is the master of 'the best sword in the world'..."
"roll!"
Yan Chixia said angrily that the last little Taoist priest who was polite to him was named Liao Wenjie. He fell into a trap without checking for a while and became angry just thinking about it. This time, he said that he would not make the same mistake again.
"Well, senior, listen to me, I'm from the Kunlun sect. My master's name is Jinghong Yixiao. He once had a relationship with you..."
"roll!"
Yan Chixia closed the door and directly blocked Zhiqiu Yiye from the door. She had never heard of such a startling glance.
Outside the house, Zhiqiu Yiye snorted ashes, the dream of the idol he longed for disappeared, his face was aggrieved, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, the old Taoist priest is so murderous."
Liao Wenjie grinned, knowing that Qiu Yiye was unlucky and bumped into the furious Yan Chixia. Otherwise, he would not only get two words for "get out", but at least add "quick".
Again, the old Taoist priest lives in seclusion in the mountains and hides from the world, acting like a salted fish who doesn't care what happens in the world. In fact, he hates the world's uncontested ways and his people are willing to degenerate. Now that he has found a Pudu Cihang who can take the blame, he will definitely He is holding back a belly full of evil fire.
"Taoist Cui, that Taoist seems..."
Zuo Qianhu spoke cautiously, wanting to say something about Yan Chixia's hot temper. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"Don't get me wrong. On the surface, Master Yan has little interest in the imperial court. In fact...hehe, you may not know that he was also a member of the imperial court before." Liao Wenjie raised his eyebrows and revealed Yan Chixia's background.
"What, such a thing could happen!?"
Zuo Qianhu and Fu Tianchou didn't believe it. In the corner, the Fu sisters who were looking at each other stopped fighting and looked over curiously, waiting for Liao Wenjie to continue.
"Yan Captou was once a notoriously tough judge in twenty-six provinces. He hated corrupt officials the most in his life. Because of the treacherous ministers in power, he retired to the world in dismay."
Liao Wenjie raised his eyebrows at Fu Tianchou: "His identity is easy to check, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. If the emperor feels that there is something missing in the absence of a protector of the country, Mr. Fu can make some suggestions for a protector of the country... No. , it’s the Protector of the Country!”
"Hmph, you should give up on this idea. I'm used to it. Even if I starve to death in the mountains and become a wandering ghost, I will never eat another meal from the imperial court."
Yan Chixia's angry voice could be heard in the room, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that he hated the imperial court deeply.
"It's not a big problem. I love you as much as I hate you. It's normal to have such comments."
Seeing Fu Tianchou stunned, Liao Wenjie chuckled: "If you can persuade the emperor to visit the thatched cottage three times, you can ensure that the old Taoist priest returns to the mountain to kill corrupt officials and monsters."
"Well, Taoist Cui is joking. It's hard for me to meet His Majesty even if I'm a guilty person, let alone interfere in the affairs of the court." Fu Tianchou shook his head repeatedly, with a bitter look on his face.
"Stop pretending. It has been said that all the civil and military officials in the imperial court have been eaten away by centipedes. Most of the gang members who designed to frame you are also centipedes. It will be easy for you to reverse the case."
Liao Wenjie didn't want to give Fu Tianchou face, so he directly exposed what he was thinking, and then smiled and said to Zuo Qianhu: "Seeing that you have a good character, I will give you a bright future. Tonight, go to Cihang Hall to collect the corpse, civil and military The bodies of hundreds of officials are scattered all over the place. With such a big contribution, it will be inevitable for him to rise to prominence in the future."
"I would rather not have this future..."
Zuo Qianhu's face was ugly. Over the years, the court had arrested many officials. Because of his strong martial arts skills, he was sent to the front line many times and killed countless traitorous officials and rebels.
Now think about it, are these really gangsters?
As soon as his vest became cold, Zuo Qianhu wanted to die.
"Don't think nonsense. You are just an executioner. A faster and sharper knife. To put it bluntly, it is just a tool. Without you, there would be other swords, guns, swords and halberds."
Liao Wenjie kindly reminded Zuo Qianhu not to take him too seriously.
A rough man does not need to worry too much. What has happened in the past will remain the same in the future. He is loyal to the emperor and patriotic and obeys orders. He will kill whoever the emperor tells him to kill, and he is guaranteed to live a long life.
"Who is that over there? Yes, it's you. Stop crying."
Liao Wenjie waved to Zhiqiu Yiye, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Tonight, I will take you to conquer demons and see the world. Forget about the big centipede. Judging from the appearance of Master Yan, he will fight with whoever robs him. Risk your life, let’s work together to kill the little centipede.”
"Brother Cui, you'd better be nice to me."
Zhiqiu Yiye was quite moved. Only through comparison can the truth be revealed. In the worst situation, Liao Wenjie was much better than Yan Chixia.
"As you said, when have I ever done anything wrong to you?"
Liao Wenjie imitated Zhi Qiu Yiye, rubbed his hands and stepped forward: "So, I am so good to you, should you show it, such as earth escape or something?"
"The Earth Escape Technique is really not good..."
Zhiqiu Yiye shook his head. The Earth Escape Technique involved the core secrets of the sect and could not be passed on to anyone under any circumstances. He gritted his teeth and whispered in Liao Wenjie's ear: "Brother Cui, you will suffer a little loss. I will give you the Body Holding Technique." can you?"
"Ah this..."
Liao Wenjie showed dissatisfaction, and with Zhiqiu Yiye's face full of hope, he nodded helplessly: "I really lost to you, the body-holding technique is the body-holding technique, who made you my Zhiqiu brother!"
"Brother Cui, be righteous!"
Zhiqiu Yiye was quite moved and warned: "As for the ugly words, don't use this spell easily. If someone discovers it, remember..."
"It has nothing to do with you, I understand."
Liao Wenjie said that the problem was not big and that the journey of refining the heart was coming to an end. He left as soon as he said it. Even if he used it, no one would bother Zhiqiu Yiye. There was no way he would come back to this world again!
