Chapter 277 The ruthless flow of water
Hanging City.
Junsheng and Lu Yuan are guards of the Qiankun Sword Sect stationed at the Lingquan Land of Hanging City. Through their duties, they have lived comfortably for many years with some gray income. At least they have been to many brothels in the city and have collected at least eight furnaces and tripods.
With such a lucrative job, the two of them should be talking about it every day, but they have been depressed and distressed recently, especially when they saw two holes on the city wall during patrol, they were even more depressed.
That day, the cultivator named Ye stabbed them here one by one. After a long time, they were found and rescued. Now thinking back, the two of them couldn't help but get angry.
These two holes are their lifelong shame.
"Brother Junsheng, it is said that the man named Ye has angered Elder Sun and Brother Zhuge. Now he is wanted by our sect. I am afraid he will not live long."
Lu Yuan looked up at the hole that belonged to him and touched his forehead a few times.
Whenever he came here, he felt a slight headache, and a great humiliation enveloped his heart.
"Yes, I have heard about this matter. This person is so arrogant that he made us suffer great shame. It's a pity that we can't eat him alive, which is really a pity!" Junsheng's face was full of bloodthirsty and grim.
Lu Yuan didn't want to look at the place that engraved their life shame, and lowered his head and said: "That kid is wanted by the sect, and he will not live long. We have avenged our great hatred."
Junsheng nodded and agreed deeply.
A few fierce lights flashed across the faces of the two men, and finally took another look at the pit that brought them endless shame, and snorted coldly to continue patrolling.
However, just as they took a step forward, they suddenly felt dizzy, and then with two "bangs", their bodies flew sideways uncontrollably.
"Woo woo woo..."
The two struggled violently, and they couldn't see the person who attacked them at all, and their heads were stabbed into the two holes on the city wall again.
"Tell me, where is Zhuge Yu?" A voice came from behind, but it was very strange, so the two could not identify the identity of the person.
"Who are you? What do you want to see our senior brother Zhuge? Do you know our identities? You humiliated us like this today, and tomorrow will be your demise!"
Junsheng was full of grief and indignation. He was stabbed in the same pit twice. Such humiliation made him want to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
"I don't answer the question. I am in a hurry. How can I allow you two to talk nonsense like this!"
The man behind him seemed angry and tapped the back of the two people's heads several times in a row. The two people's bodies twitched and howled continuously.
But this place was obviously banned, and the sound could not be transmitted. Naturally, no one found out what happened here.
Junsheng was lucky. After a few screams, Lu Yuan was hanging there limply like last time, just like a dead dog.
"Senior! Stop! I know where Senior Brother Zhuge is!"
Junsheng's eyes were dark, and he couldn't see the person who attacked him, let alone why he was attacked like this. However, the pain of pulling out his muscles and bones was unbearable, so he had to tell the truth.
"Why should you suffer such a great punishment if you surrendered earlier?"
The person who attacked him said, and cast a spell to relieve Junsheng's pain.
Junsheng was full of bitterness, and he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and said: "Senior Brother Zhuge is in the city now. I just saw him yesterday."
The man didn't let him go, and then asked: "Who is he with?"
"As far as I know, it seems that only Senior Brother Zhuge is alone."
"What is he doing in the city?"
"I don't know, I only know that he came to the cave yesterday and then went to Shopkeeper Xue's shop. If you want to find him, you just need to look for him in Shopkeeper Xue's shop."
After these words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
A trace of doubt flashed through Junsheng's mind, and he hurriedly called out: "Senior, senior... are you still here? I have told you everything I know, please spare my life, senior?"
No one answered his voice, as if the man had left for a long time.
Junsheng secretly groaned, since the man had left, what should they do? Do they have to hang on this city wall for a few more days?
He couldn't help but shout for help, but the restrictions around him were still in place, and no one could hear him even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest clapped his hands and left.
This middle-aged Taoist priest was naturally Ye Chunyang pretending to be "Sufeng Shangxian", and the tragic scene of the two on the city wall was his masterpiece. After leaving this place for several months, Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutianmen were looking for him everywhere. This time he came back naturally to investigate the movements of Zhuge Yu's uncle and nephew.
Now it seems that the uncle in the middle stage of magic power is not with Zhuge Yu, and he is the only one in the city.
Ye Chunyang sneered. Zhuge Yu would never have thought that he would come back at this time.
During this period, he was chased by his uncle and nephew like a stray dog, and had to escape to the mortal world to hide. Ye Chunyang would not let this account go so easily.
If the uncle with the middle-stage magic power was here, it would be fine. Now that the other party was alone, it was a good time to deal with him.
Thinking in his heart, Ye Chunyang's killing intent became stronger and stronger. He restrained his breath and walked steadily towards the Tiandeng Building of Lady Xue.
...
Tiandeng Building.
Although it is not as good as the big merchants like the Mu family, Tiandeng Building is also very famous in Xuankong City. People come and go in the store, which is quite lively.
At this time, Lady Xue was sitting quietly in the meditation room with her eyebrows slightly frowned, listening attentively to what the housekeeper beside her was reporting, but her pretty face had a look of boredom when she heard the end.
"Go tell Zhuge Yu that I am in seclusion and it is inconvenient to see guests. Let him go back."
Lady Xue looked helpless.
Zhuge Yu has been harassing me here frequently in recent times, which is really annoying. Although he gives excuses every time, he still has not given up. Today is the fifth time he has asked to see him.
"Why are you still here? Do you have other problems?"
After saying these words, Xue Meiren saw that the housekeeper was standing still, and there was anger in her eyebrows.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.
After a while, he showed a bitter smile and said: "Shopkeeper, that senior Zhuge is a high disciple of the Qiankun Sword Sect. How dare you talk to him like this? You are making things difficult for me."
"So, you want to disobey my order? Are you afraid of him, so you are not afraid of me?" Xue Meiren was shocked and angry.
The butler smiled bitterly and hesitated, not daring to raise his head. On one side was the master, and on the other side was the high-status Zhuge Yu. Both of them were people of high status, telling him how to serve him.
The more Xue Meiren looked at her, the angrier she became. She wanted to slap the housekeeper to death, but she was not an unreasonable person. She finally endured her anger and hummed: "It seems that Zhuge Yu is unwilling to give up. It's okay. I So I went to meet him and tried to get him to withdraw from the situation, and then I went to the master to cancel the marriage."
With no choice, Xue Meiren had no choice but to walk out of the meditation room.
In the front hall, Zhuge Yu was leisurely sipping fragrant tea under the service of several maids. Although he had been rejected many times when he asked to see him, he was still neither arrogant nor impetuous at this moment, which shows his calm mind.
I don’t know how long I waited, but someone came to the door.
Seeing that tall figure and exquisite face, Zhuge Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. He hurriedly stood up to greet me and said with a smile: "Beauty, you have always politely declined my visits many times. Are you finally willing to see me today?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, we have only met by chance, so it is best to call me Xue Xianzi, otherwise I am afraid that others will misunderstand me."
Xue Meiren's expression was cold. Although Zhuge Yu's cultivation was higher than hers, she was not afraid at all and did not hide her hatred for him.
Zhuge Yu frowned, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Meiren Xue calmly sat down, stared at him, and said, "What is the reason why Taoist friend Zhuge has asked to see you many times? The little girl has been practicing in seclusion recently. If the hospitality is not good, I will look back."
Hearing this, Zhuge Yu showed no expression on his face, still with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze, and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, beauty, you are still so immortal and transcendent. I am here just to give you something, I think you will like it. "
Xue Meiren didn't take the compliments seriously, but she saw Zhuge Yu taking out an ice-blue spirit bead from his arms as he spoke. Cool.
Seeing the surprise in Xue Meiren's eyes, Zhuge Yu looked proud and said with a smile: "This is the Qingxin Pearl, which can absorb water energy on its own. Your spiritual root is the water spiritual root. Carrying this object to practice can have an improvement effect. This object It can only be formed by gathering spiritual energy for thousands of years in the depths of the Mysterious Sea. It is extremely rare. Although your property is huge, it is difficult to find. I have asked to see you many times in recent days just to give you this bead to show my sincerity. "
Meiren Xue's beautiful eyes flashed, revealing an unexpected look.
After looking at the "Pearl of Pure Heart", she did not take it.
After being silent for a long time, she shook her head and sighed softly, and said: "Fellow Taoist Zhuge is extremely talented and highly valued in the Qiankun Sword Sect. If nothing happens, he will definitely hold a high position in the sect in a hundred years, and even be the leader." Maybe, with such a transcendent status, there are countless women in the world who are attracted to you, so why waste your energy on this little girl? Please take back the Qingxin Pearl."
Although she has no good impression of Zhuge Yu, Xue Meiren's words are also from her heart. With Zhuge Yu's status, countless beautiful women are vying to be his dual monks, but they are always attached to her, which makes her very sad. have no choice.
"Beauty's words are wrong. There are three thousand weak waters in the Tao. I only take one scoop. There are naturally many beauties in the world. But in my heart, no one can compare with you. Only this Qingxin Pearl can be worthy of you. "
Zhuge Yu looked sincere and spoke affectionately.
Listening to these bone-chilling words, Xue Meiren felt a chill run down her spine. She originally planned to persuade her, but she didn't know that the other party was so stubborn and stubborn, which was really annoying.
Looking at Zhuge Yu's stubborn look, Xue Meiren really had a headache. She thought to herself that if he didn't accept this Qingxin Pearl today, I'm afraid he wouldn't give up. Why not accept it for the time being and send him away? Just beg Master to come to your home and cancel the engagement.
After making a decision in her heart, Xue Meiren nodded and said: "Well, since you have decided this, I can't force it, so I will accept the Qingxin Pearl for the time being."
Zhuge Yu was delighted when he heard this.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, which seemed to be unharmonious.
"The Qingxin Pearl is weak in attack and defense. It can only gather a thin trace of spiritual energy. Such a useless magic weapon is completely useless against people. If Taoist friend Zhuge wants to give treasures to beautiful women, why is he so stingy and shabby? It's really disappointing. What a shame!”
