wait a minute

Chapter 423 Accident
The courtyard was brightly lit, and on the large round table in the room, seven women in different clothes were sitting on round stools. After three rounds of drinking, there was already a touch of blush on their cheeks.

Because they were all familiar, it wasn't interesting to sit and drink together. Halfway through the meal, Shui'er suggested to start drinking wine.

Both Yuhu and the Queen Mother were not on the boat, so it was not appropriate to take out the sticks at the dinner table, so they just played the truth and so on.

Ye Jingtang sat between Sanniang and Ning'er, and next to Ning'er was Shui'er.

As a master, Shui'er will definitely not let Ning'er go easily. She does not shy away from her master's identity at all, and dares to ask all kinds of messy questions, such as:
"What was it like to pout for the first time?"

"Have you ever had any trouble outside the house or in the Night Terror Hall?"

……

Ning'er couldn't stand up to this kind of problem that kept her talking about something. She basically drank when it was her turn. She was already too drunk, but after a few laps, she drank it all. But she was the next one, and she still had to clean up. No water.

After she couldn't bear it anymore, Ning'er, who was relatively thin-skinned, also gave up. After it was her turn to ask questions, she turned to look at the little thief pretending to be a wooden man next to her and asked:
"Night Terror Hall, who is the hairless girl on the table?"

As soon as these words came out, the lively wine table suddenly became quiet. Several girls looked at each other strangely. Even Benben sat up a little straighter and glanced at the sister next to him.

Yuhu had a very strong mind. He swung his wine glass slowly and waited for Ye Jingtang's answer, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Shui'er, on the other hand, didn't blush at all, and instead held up the side of her face with her hands, jokingly saying:

"Ning'er, there is more than one hairless girl on this table. If he can really tell, he might not be able to stand up and walk out of the room today. Isn't it Huaiyan?"

The Queen Mother was eating melon with a smile on her face. When she heard these words, she was stunned and turned around:

"Why are you mentioning me? I'm not hairless... bah bah..."

"Ha ha……"

Upon discovering that the Queen Mother blew herself up, several sneers suddenly erupted from the table, and the Queen Mother's face turned red with embarrassment.

When Ning'er heard this, she thought that the Queen Mother was also a white jade tiger. She felt that the question was inappropriate, so she changed her words:
"Forget it, let me change the question. Night Terror Hall, what is the most outrageous thing you and Sanniang have ever done?"

Sanniang was also eating melon, but when she saw Ning'er turning around, she said dissatisfiedly:
"Ning'er, you know how to be a quarrel, right?"

Ye Jingtang saw that the girls were more open-minded and making jokes about Maomao. Naturally, he was not too reserved. He thought for a while and said:
"The most daring thing is that Fairy Lu helped me carve a jade carrot that said, 'Mr. Xiang has many gray hairs overnight'..."

"Shock!"

Before he finished speaking, his waist and eyes were twisted around.

Sanniang gave it to her before and after, but Ning'er didn't accompany her, so she is still doing whatever she wants now, which is embarrassing.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang dared to mention it, she blushed, stood up and pushed Ye Jingtang out:

"When you're drunk, you go out to sober up, and you don't tell anyone about anything you have or what you don't have..."

Ye Jingtang saw that the submissive San Niang was so ashamed to beat him up, so he yelled, and was honestly pushed out of the room to sober up.

Qinghe sat next to Sanniang. Seeing Sanniang's reaction, he was a little confused and asked Ning'er quietly:
"Miss Ning'er, what is a jade carrot?"

Ning'er didn't have the nerve to answer such an embarrassing question in public. Her eyes flickered and she felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Shui'er was kind-hearted and helped explain:
"It's just a small ornament. I'll carve one for you later."

Dongfang Liren is next to her sister on the left, and she is sitting next to Fan Qinghe. Although she has never played with such things, she has read the picture album of Heroic Lady Tears and knows that the jade radish should be a magical weapon to subdue the witch.

Although she wanted to see how that method worked, it was too unbearable for her to join forces with her master to bully Miss Fan. At this time, she still came closer and explained:
"If you are curious about the objects used in the boudoir, just let Master have time to demonstrate them to you..."

"Li Ren, you deceived your master and destroyed your ancestors, right?"

"Ha ha……"

……

There was laughter in the room, but there were still whispers outside the door.

Ye Jingtang listened to the daughters-in-law making dirty jokes to each other, with smiles in the corners of his eyes. Seeing Sanniang's face flushed, gently fanning her hands, and also sobering up under the eaves, she hugged her waist and leaned to her ear:

"Shy?"

Sanniang was too embarrassed to see people because of the topic just now. She was afraid that she would be discovered while holding her, so she pulled her hands away from her waist:

"There are guests in the house, what are you doing? Wake up and I'll go in..."

Then he turned and went back into the house.

Ye Jingtang smiled, turned around and looked around a few times, and then looked for the birds in the yard.

It turned out that Xiuhe and Hongyu were sitting in a side room, eating melon seeds and chatting secretly, while Niaoniao was squatting on the small table between them, begging for food one bite at a time.

Ye Jingtang had just taken a look in the corridor, and before he had time to ask the two maids what shameful things they were talking about, the sound of trotting suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and the footsteps were quite hasty:

tata tao~
Ye Jingtang's eyes moved, and after looking at the hall where people were still bustling for dinner, he flew up and jumped over the courtyard wall, landing silently in the alley on the side. When he looked up, he saw Yunli holding an oil-paper umbrella coming from the street. Ran back.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang came to the entrance of the alley, waved, and asked:

"Yunli, why did you come back just now? I was waiting for you to eat just now, and after not seeing you for a long time, you have already started eating..."

Zhe Yunli quickly came to the front, with a hint of anxiety on his cheeks:
"Cousin Jing, something seems to have happened. Master is missing."

"Ok?"

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he couldn't help but was stunned. He took the umbrella and held it on Yunli's head:
"Gone?"

At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard wall, and the empress in a red dress flew out from the courtyard wall, landed in front of the two of them, frowned and asked:
"what happened?"

Zhe Yunli was a little nervous when he saw the empress, but he didn't dare to delay at this time and explained:

"Didn't I just go to Master to intercede? Master was in the room and asked me to wait for a while. Then I fell asleep. Then there was a 'bang' from the next door. I ran in to take a look. , I found that the house was in a mess, the walls were smashed, and the master was nowhere to be found..."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

When this happens, it is very likely that Bingtuotuo discovered the strongman whose whereabouts were unknown, and was sneaking around or snooping in the dark before suddenly breaking through the wall.

Bingtuotuo, like him, is currently a Martial Saint goalkeeper. He did not catch him on the spot but chased him out. This only shows that the opponent's martial arts skills are not far behind.

This is Jingjie City, and Bing Tuo Tuo lives next to the palace. If there is a master who can arm-wrestle with Bing Tuo Tuo, it will be no small matter. In all likelihood, it will be someone from the Four Saints sent by Beiliang to deal with him. people.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang became serious, turned around and said:

"I'll go over and have a look, you just stay at home and don't run around."

Zhe Yunli was a little worried about her master's safety, but in this unexpected situation, she might be delayed, so she just nodded at the moment.

Yuhu knew that Ye Jingtang's injury had not recovered. If he encountered Master Xiang Han and his ilk at this time, he might not be able to escape unharmed if he teamed up with Xue Baijin, so he thought about it and followed him:

"I'll go with you."

For the sake of safety, Ye Jingtang did not refuse and took Yuhu with him to escape into the night rain...

---

L……

The inn where Xue Baijin lived was located in the downtown area, not far from the palace. As something strange happened, a large group of police officers rushed to the inn and searched up and down the inn. There were also a bunch of people eating melons on the street, whispering to each other:
"what happened?"

"It seems like there was a thief. I was cooking mutton next door just now, and there was a bang upstairs..."

……

Ye Jingtang, dressed in a black robe, fell silently behind the crowd. Seeing the "back door gun" Xiao Wang blocking the scene at the entrance of the inn, he raised his hand to signal, and several black Yamen quickly began to clear the scene:
"Everyone has dispersed when the Yamen is doing business..."

"Walk around..."

After the onlookers were dispersed, Ye Jingtang took Yuhu to the second floor of the inn, found the room where Xue Baijin lived, and entered it to take a look.

The room was originally very tidy, but at this time some broken tiles and rainwater had been scattered. The luggage and other items must have been put away by Xiao Yunli to prevent the government from finding out. There was no other debris in the room.

Yuhu walked into the room and looked around, then looked at the bed with the quilt lifted, and then at the cracks on the floor:
"She was meditating on the bed just now, and suddenly she got up and hit the wall. Her footing didn't seem to be very stable..."

Ye Jingtang squatted down and touched the floor where he stood. He found that it was shattered into pieces and was soft to the touch of his fingers.

And there was a big gap in the wall of the original window, connected to the roof, and raindrops could fall into the house. It can be seen that the force of the take-off was extremely high, and it flew at least more than ten feet.

Ye Jingtang came to the edge of the ruins and looked towards the gap. Then he came to a wall more than ten feet away and found traces of cracks from being stepped on. He turned around and said:

"Going north."

The empress raised her eyes to look at the north and frowned:

"Out of the city in the north is the Tianmen Gorge. She won't be lured out of the cave and run outside the pass, right?"

Beyond Tianmen Gorge, there is the territory under the jurisdiction of Beiliang. Thousands of troops and horses are also stationed there. Xiang Hanshi and Lu Taiqing are restraining each other. If they have not left, they may stay there now.

Ye Jingtang thought about this and did not dare to delay for a moment. He jumped up and followed the footsteps, quickly chasing towards the north.

Although the empress does not like the female rebel who dared to take off her clothes, Xue Baijin has hope of being recruited. As long as she is successfully recruited, she can become the future pillar of the Wei Dynasty like Ye Jingtang. If she is destroyed by Beiliang now or Pulling it over would definitely be a loss for her.

Therefore, the empress noticed that something was wrong, so she did not take it lightly. She flew up as light as a wild goose and followed Ye Jingtang. During the flight, she did not forget to put her umbrella in front of her to break the wind, and blocked the rain completely.

The two galloped so fast that it only took a moment for them to jump over the high wall of Jingjie City.

The geographical environment in the north of Jingjie City is special. There are only a few miles of flat land, and various fortresses and walls have been built, and soldiers and horses are stationed at all times.

The Qingjiang River bypasses the outside of the city, forming a natural moat. The upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is a canyon that stretches for more than [-] miles. The cliffs on both sides are like knives, and there is no place to walk.

When Xue Baijin entered the canyon, he must have walked on the water and would not leave any traces. After Ye Jingtang and the Empress entered the canyon, they lost their bearings and could only follow the river to find it upstream.

There was no light in the canyon, and only a sliver of sky above the head could be seen. The Empress was walking beside her. As she entered deeper and deeper into the Night Terror Hall, her brows slowly frowned: "Just keep going and you'll pass." On the middle line, there will be a secret sentry from Beiliang, please pay attention."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang slowed down, suppressed all sounds, and listened carefully to the movements deep in the deep canyon.

As a result, after walking for a while, I found a horizontal crack on both sides of the canyon, and there seemed to be traces on the stone wall.

Seeing this, he flew up and hung on the stone wall. After looking at it for a while, he found that it was a guide dug out with his fingers. Looking at the direction, he used force to jump up. He raised his head and said:

"Up there."

Seeing this, the empress held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, tapped her palace shoes back and forth on the stone walls to the left and right of the crack, and then jumped to the top of the canyon.

Ye Jingtang followed closely behind. It can be seen that there are rugged mountains above the canyon. There are not even a few trees, and there are exposed rock walls everywhere. It is difficult for ordinary people not only to walk, but even to stand. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff. wall.

Shashasha~
Under the soft whispers, there was deathly silence above the canyon, and not a single light could be seen.

Ye Jingtang listened carefully and found a vague sound of breathing deep in the mountains half a mile away.

Seeing this, the two became alert. Ye Jingtang held the saber and walked in front, leading Yuhu towards the place where the sound of breathing was. When they turned the corner of a boulder, they could vaguely see a figure under the boulder.

The figure was sitting cross-legged under the boulder, barely sheltered from the rain, with a familiar white skirt casually thrown beside it.

The figure's long jet-black hair had fallen down and rested on Xue Nixiang's shoulders. His skin was flushed, and beads of sweat rolled down his neck. They followed the collarbone and semi-circular arc line and converged towards the center, disappearing between the white chest.

Although the white thin pants underneath were intact, they were soaked with sweat and stuck to the buttocks and legs, showing a light flesh color. If the light was better, you could probably see the outline between the legs.

Although the figure's meditating posture was extremely upright, the iceberg-like cheeks now showed a bit of pain, and his brows were knitted together with sweat pouring down from his face. It seemed that he was trying his best to even maintain his breathing.

Ye Jingtang was stunned when he saw this scene, quickly retreated to the corner of the boulder, and shouted:
"Miss Xue?"

The empress was quite worried at first, but when she saw this scene, she became speechless and her eyes were playful:

"Xue Baijin, what are you..."

Before finishing speaking, the empress saw Xue Baijin sitting cross-legged under the boulder, and suddenly opened her eyes.

Although Xue Baijin looks cold, his eyes are standard fox eyes. The lines are slender and extremely agile. If you look closely, they still have a sense of charm.

But at this moment, her eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and turned into blood red. She looked like a fox demon who had escaped into the evil way in the deep mountains and forests. Her instinctive alertness and hostility actually made the empress feel a little bit nervous. Feeling of enemy.

The empress noticed something was wrong and immediately let go of the oil-paper umbrella and stepped back:
"Beware!"

Ouch—

It was also at this moment that Xue Baijin, who was sitting cross-legged on the spot, did not see any movement, and his whole body had already shattered the rocks and rose from the ground, flying away into the depths of the mountains.

Ye Jingtang originally retreated to the side of the boulder to avoid suspicion, but when the strong force of the weather suddenly came, he realized something was wrong and immediately rushed out from behind the boulder. He quickly rushed forward and grabbed Bing Tuo Tuo's wrist, trying to hold her back.

But Xue Baijin's background is too deep, and his martial arts attainments are integrated into his instincts. Even though his blood red eyes don't seem to be sober, his skills are still flowing. The moment his wrist was caught, he had already grabbed Ye Jingtang's forearm with his backhand. Chong palm.

bang——

This was so loud that the empress behind the Night Terror Hall felt a little bit depressed.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang blocked it hard with his right hand. It turned out that this palm was quite mysterious. It contained the vast energy and pushed it with amazing force, but there was no impact. When his right hand touched the energy, it exploded, and he was ejected hard, hitting him directly. On the Empress.

The Empress pressed her breasts hard against Ye Jingtang, and the energy passed through her body and was transmitted to her body, causing her to slip out two steps. However, her hand movements were not slow at all, passing around Ye Jingtang's armpits and clasping her. Xue Baijin’s right wrist:
"Lock her up!"

Ye Jingtang didn't need to be reminded at all. He never let go of his left hand. Seeing that Bing Tuo Tuo's hands were trapped, he wanted to kick him away. He rushed forward, got under his arms and came to the back, with both arms. While tightening your upper body, lift your legs to lock them, and do a back hard roll.

bang——

Although Xue Baijin's martial arts skills are high, his brute force is obviously not as powerful as Ye Jingtang. When he was hugged and thrown like this, he lost his balance and fell straight backward to the ground.

With Ye Jingtang acting as a meat mat, Xue Baijin did not fall to the ground, but Ye Jingtang hit the rocky ground hard enough to create cracks.

Ye Jingtang almost used all his strength to lock the arms and legs of Xue Baijin who was trying to break free, and shouted urgently:

"Wake up! It's me!"

The empress also pressed forward and pressed down on Xue Baijin's hands and wrists that she wanted to move, and at the same time took her pulse:
"Her energy and blood are too excited, but it doesn't look like she's possessed. What's going on?"

Ye Jingtang felt that the body in his arms was like charcoal, and he could not lock it even with all his strength. As his mind raced, he suddenly realized something and turned around and said:
"Did you deduce the bathing in fire diagram yourself?"

When the empress heard this, her heart skipped a beat, knowing that something big had happened.

It is impossible to predict what will happen when you deduce the Minglong Diagram on your own. If it goes too far, it is impossible for Xue Baijin to turn into a three-headed and six-armed monster on the spot.

The empress saw that the pulse pattern looked like that of a human being and was not so chaotic that it was difficult to distinguish, so she quickly asked:
"Where's the Bathing in Fire Picture? Where is it?"

Ye Jingtang hugged Xue Baijin's upper body, first glanced at the skirt not far away, and found that there was no skirt, then looked at the wrapped chest with an abnormal curvature:

"On the chest."

Seeing this, the empress almost straddled the two of them, pressed down Xue Baijin's erratic hands with her knees, groped in the chest-wrapping compartment, took out the Singing Dragon Picture from it, and quickly approached Xue Baijin's eyes:

"Look!"

Because it was in a hurry, the empress was very rough, and she didn't pull the chest wrap properly when she took the picture of Minglong, and the two northern hemispheres almost slipped out.

But Ye Jingtang, who was holding his upper body, had no intention of admiring it at this time. He just looked at Xue Baijin's side face and urged:
"Look, look, look..."

But what shocked the two of them was that Xue Baijin was not very obedient.

Xue Baijin was obviously still conscious, otherwise he wouldn't have run away when they met, and he remained silent even after being subdued by the two men.

When Minglong Tu came closer, Xue Baijin, who was staring at the empress, actually closed his eyes!

? !
Ye Jingtang and the Empress were naturally stunned when they saw this scene.

Ye Jingtang asked inexplicably: "What's going on? If you practice the Minglong Diagram wrongly, you can still dominate the magpie's nest and prevent the host from seeing the real picture?"

The empress was also at a loss. After all, as long as Xue Baijin's level of martial artist has the heart to save himself, even if he loses consciousness completely, he will instinctively walk on the road of survival, and it is impossible to actively avoid it.

The empress thought about it and wanted to open her eyelids for Xue Baijin to see, but Xue Baijin turned her head to avoid it.

?

The empress was stunned for a while holding the Dragon Calling Picture, and then she came to her senses, and said coldly:

"She didn't want to see it."

"what?"

The empress glared angrily: "Do you want to die? If you don't look at it now, something will happen. Even if we want to save you, we won't be able to save you."

Ye Jingtang thought about it for a while, and gradually understood the general reason - Xue Baijin must have wanted to do the same as him after getting the picture of "The Bathing in Fire", and then compare it with the real picture to see how much he was wrong.

But Xue Baijin pushed halfway, and found that the situation was not right, afraid of going crazy in the city, so he ran to this barren mountain to retreat alone, and tried to adjust the direction of Qi channels and try to modify and control the body.

Because he didn't fully control his body, he immediately chose to run away when he saw the two of them coming. Unfortunately, his escape failed.

As for my refusal to look at the real pictures until now, that’s a better explanation.

Xue Baijin has been invincible for many years, and his talent is outstanding in the world. He is known as the successor of Fengguan City.

Yuhu deduced the five dragon pictures on his own, and so far everything is fine.

He deduced the Evergreen Chart without incident.

If she deduced a picture, she would be reduced to the point of being rescued by two people, wouldn't Yuhu and him regard her as a 'xue stupid' and be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?

After Ye Jingtang figured out the whole story, he was speechless in his heart and said into Xue Baijin's ear:
"Are you crazy? Are you still brave when your life is at stake?"

Xue Baijin closed her eyes tightly, letting the rain sprinkle on her cheeks and chest, with the back of her head facing the Night Terror Hall, without saying a word, but secretly regulating the energy and blood in her body.

The empress has performed the Minglong Diagram and knows the risks involved. This is the first time in her life that she has encountered such a stubborn donkey who is not afraid of death.

When she saw Xue Baijin being stubborn, she put her hand on her chest:

"Don't you look at it? If you don't look at it, I will tear off your clothes and let him see them clean."

Xue Baijin closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if he was completely absorbed in concentration and could not notice anything else.

Ye Jingtang saw that shouting was not enough, so he seriously persuaded:
"Don't be stubborn. A thousand people can make a thousand mistakes when deducing the Minglong Diagram. The sequelae depend purely on luck and have nothing to do with talent. Yuhu's talent is so good that he just faints every three days. After I deduced the Evergreen Diagram, , I saw the real picture right away, otherwise I might not know what's wrong now..."

The empress was not a gentle and gentle woman to begin with. Seeing that this woman refused to accept her soft words, she raised her hand to pull off the breastband as a warning without wasting any more words.

However, Ye Jingtang felt that Xue Baijin's aura was slowly stabilizing and stopped him:
"She's getting better, don't rush her."

As Ye Jingtang said, he tried his best to calm down and said:

"We will protect you and won't rush you. You can deduce it slowly by yourself. But if you encounter trouble, don't take the risk and try to be brave. Look at the picture immediately and don't be swayed by the desire to win or lose. Even if you don't deduce it well today, I will still run away halfway. I'm here to bother you, no one is laughing at you..."

wow~
It rains heavily on the mountains.

The empress sat on the two of them, looking a little speechless as she watched Ye Jingtang patiently coax the stubborn donkey.

After waiting for a while, the empress's red dress was soaked through. She raised her hand to tangle the hair sticking to her face. She simply sat on Xue Baijin's belly, folded her arms around her chest and said:
"You can't coax this stubborn donkey, so don't waste any more words. If you want to look at her chest, just look down at her. If you care about her so much, how can she beat you so hard afterwards?"

"Oh, I don't have the time to watch this."

"Don't look at me, huh~ It's quite big..."
