Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 500: Xianxian's First Experience

But when he saw a flash of cold light, Jin An felt a very strange energy entering his body. It was icy at first, which was quite comfortable in the summer. The sticky heat on his body also subsided a lot. However, after a few breaths, he was no longer happy. He just felt itchy all over, as if ten thousand ants were crawling on his body, sometimes drilling into the bones and sometimes gnawing at his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

"Sir... Sir... I am really at the post... station..."

Chu Pingsheng picked up a snow-white lychee from the ice bucket and put it into his mouth. He took a bite and it was icy and full of sweet juice. He felt extremely refreshed.

"The poison you were just poisoned with is called the Life and Death Talisman. I am the only one in this world who can cure it. When it takes effect, you can neither live nor die."

"Young Master...Young Master..." Jin An rolled around on the ground, scratching with his hands, kicking with his feet, snot and tears streaming down his face.

"I... I said... I was going to... to see the Second... Second Young Master. I was his... he sent me to the Chai Mansion... to monitor you... your spy."

"Look, why not tell the truth earlier?"

Chu Pingsheng pointed his sword at one point, and Jin An felt a ray of soft internal energy flowing into the Zhongting acupoint. The numbness, itching and tingling in his body disappeared quickly, like snow encountering a blazing winter fire, and he regained his ability to move.

He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Sir, I deserve to die. I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Chu Pingsheng spat out a lychee pit and threw it into the wastebasket on his right.

"Forgive you? Why should I forgive you?"

Upon hearing this, Jin An's face was filled with bitterness, and he cried, "Master, please spare my life for the sake of my serving you for so many years, please..."

Chu Pingsheng ignored his pity and threw an antidote on the ground: "I just helped you relieve the pain just now. This is the antidote to the life and death talisman, but the effect of the medicine can only last for half a year. If you help me fool Li Shimin honestly in this half year, I will give you the antidote. If you dare to play tricks, hehe... You don't want to try the torture just now again, right?"

"Sir, I will be obedient and will never lie to you again."

Jin An grabbed it, swallowed the antidote to the Life and Death Talisman with tears and snot, and kowtowed several times.

Snapped.

Chu Pingsheng threw the booklet he had just translated, which contained the contents of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra in front of him, and whispered a few words.

……

a few days later.

Yangzhou.

The moon is dark and the wind is strong. It is pitch dark at night. Occasionally, a lone wolf howls at the moon.

Li Xiuning went to the princess of Dongming to ask for the account book of Li family's weapons purchases, but failed. This also alerted the enemy, making Dongming defensive, so he had to return home with Hongfu.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not give up. With the help of Shen Luoyan, Chen Laomou and Kankan who were bullied by Dugu Ce, they sneaked into the Dongming and successfully obtained the account books of the Yuwen, Li, Dugu and Song families.

However, the two did not fulfill their agreement and handed over the Dugu clan's account books to Shen Luoyan and Chen Laomou.

"Mr. Zhong, this is not good."

"What's wrong with that? We narrowly escaped death this time to get the stuff. Shen Luoyan and Chen Laomou not only tied us to the tree and tortured us for a whole night, but now they are using us as pawns. How could we let them get what they want so easily?"

As Kou Zhong spoke, he buried the four account books under the marked cypress tree, clapped his hands, stood up, raised his eyebrows at Xu Ziling, and looked very proud.

"Now that we have obtained the account books of the four major clans who approached Dongming Sect to purchase weapons, we have made such a great contribution. I don't believe that Li Yuan still looks down on us two poor guys."

"I think you want Xiuning to marry you. You're almost going crazy."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Kou Zhong patted the dirt off his hands and was about to tell Xu Ziling to leave when he heard Chen Laomou's voice coming from the sidewalk in front of the woods: "Mr. Kou, Mr. Xu, how is the matter going? The method I taught you to crack the mechanism is very useful, right?"

The two men looked at each other and rushed forward: "How dare you say such things? The box containing the account books also has a mechanism. If we two brothers hadn't run fast, we might have died."

"You said this... Didn't you get the account book?"

"Nonsense, tell me how to get it? Which is more important, life or account book? What's that look in your eyes? You don't believe it, right? If you don't believe me, come and search."

"Master Zhong, Master Chen, let's leave here first. If Yu Wenzhi catches up to us, none of us three will be able to escape."

"Yes, yes, yes, go, go."

Creak, creak, creak...

Accompanied by the sound of wheels rolling over the ground, Chen Laomou hurriedly drove the carriage away from the dangerous area.

Not long after a few people left.

Chu Pingsheng, wearing a black tights and with his face covered, fell from an old pine tree, looked at the direction the carriage left, walked to the cypress tree where Kou Zhong had buried the account book, moved it with his hands, revealing four thread-bound books with green covers.

He has been following Shuanglong for the past two days with malicious intent. According to the setting of Changsheng Jue, the two should have noticed his presence, but they didn't.

This is strange. Could it be that... people who practice the Art of Immortality can block the spiritual perception of people who also practice the Art of Immortality? Otherwise, how to explain the scene before my eyes?
"Put down what you have in your hand." Just as he was brushing off the dirt on the account book, a delicate shout like the chirping of an oriole in a valley came from behind.

Chu Pingsheng looked back and saw a graceful figure standing in the woods. Due to the darkness of the night, it was difficult to make out the details, but upon closer inspection, he could see that her skin was delicate and as white as snow. She was wearing a white long skirt, with ribbons wrapped around her hands, and no boots on her feet. She stood barefoot, like a fairy in the dark night, beautiful and dangerous.

That’s right, the person who came was the successor of the demonic Yingui Sect, and the direct disciple of Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan, Kankan.

"Aren't you fighting with Yu Wenzhi? You're here pretty fast."

Kanan was startled, and her eyes, which were full of cunning, coquettishness and viciousness, flashed with two beams of cold light, and her expression became much more solemn.

With her help, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling successfully stole the account books of several major families who asked the Dongming faction to purchase weapons, but they also triggered the mechanism under the box, alerting the Princess of the Dongming and Yu Wenzhi who came on board to negotiate. In order to help Shuanglong out, she single-handedly blocked the latter's pursuit.

Now the masked man revealed her whereabouts, what does that mean? It means that he was at the scene when she and Yu Wenhuaji were fighting on the Dongming, but no one noticed.

The other party was able to hide the truth from her, the strongest of the younger generation of the Demon Sect, so he must be no ordinary person.

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the account books."

Chu Pingsheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "Hand it over? It's not impossible, but there is a condition."

"What conditions?"

"Take your body in exchange."

Anger flashed across that charming face for just a moment, then was replaced by a light laugh.

"I thought you were going to put forward some harsh conditions, but it turned out to be this."

Chu Pingsheng said: "Isn't this harsh?"

"Of course, if it was those nuns in Cihang Jingzhai, these words would be humiliating. They would probably have already shouted that they would exorcise the devil and defend the way, and send you to see the Buddha. But I... am a member of the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect naturally does not have so many scruples. As long as the goal can be achieved, the process is actually not important."

As she spoke, she walked forward, the demon ribbon in her hand flying behind her and the silver bell on her wrist making a pleasant sound.

"Young man, can you let me see your face?"

Chu Pingsheng remained silent, just looking at her with a smile.

"You are such an ignorant person. You want someone's body but don't want them to see your face. What's the difference between you and a piece of wood when you are intimate with someone?"

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice seemed to have magic, making people indulge in it.

But just as she gently reached out her hand and wanted to touch Chu Pingsheng's face, a hand grabbed her wrist.

"Don't you know that keeping a sense of mystery is also a way for men and women to get along with each other?"

"Oh..." She frowned slightly, her eyes were filled with sadness, she cried out in pain and broke free, then gave him a fierce look with three parts of blame and seven parts of shyness: "You are so rude, you hurt me."

Even as she said those sin-inducing words, her heart sank little by little.

If the other party was a true lecher, he would have been distracted and lost his composure under the combination of silver bells and sweet words. How could he have caught her hand, which seemed to be caressing but actually contained the changes of the Heavenly Demon Dance moves, trying to take off his mask.

"Really? But I really like your screams of pain." Chu Pingsheng said, "You will satisfy me, right?"

"Look at how useless you are." Kanan stretched out her finger and touched the black cloth covering his lips. She flipped her other hand back, and a jade flute appeared in her palm.

"It's such a fine night, such an auspicious time on earth. How about I play a song for you to liven up the mood?" Her hands slowly moved down, from her mouth to her neck, and from her neck to her chest. Her slender jade fingers turned into slender and soft ones. She caressed his chest while looking up with a teasing look.

"Please, I'm all ears."

Chu Pingsheng pressed her hand on her chest.

Kanan lightly tapped, withdrew her hand, grasped the jade flute with both hands, slightly opened her red lips, lightly clenched her pearly teeth, and played the nocturne.

The melody is long and plaintive, like a sea siren singing sadly to the moon, or like a clear spring gurgling in a mountain abyss, sometimes slow and suddenly fast, slow like flying catkins and fast like a sudden rain.

Chu Pingsheng was stunned by what he heard, his eyes were blank and his body was as straight as a pine tree.

The man playing the flute had a proud look on his face. He continued playing while staring at the man's face, and walked slowly forward. The ribbon in his right hand rose up without wind, and flickered between his wrists like a snake ready to strike.

But when the two were less than half a foot away and the ribbon was about to be released to take his life, he heard a voice saying "Good Xiao Yi" and felt a flash before his eyes and a black shadow passed by.

She did not dare to delay and hurriedly swung the ribbon to stop him. However, she would have thought that the hand had no bones and with a slight twist, it slipped through the gap in the ribbon and grabbed the jade flute in her hand. He stretched out his fingers and she felt a numbness in the palm of her hand. She could not continue to move. When she came to her senses, the jade flute had already fallen into the other party's hands.

Finger skill?

"One-finger Zen? Are you a disciple of the Three Treatises School of Buddhism?"

"Haha." Chu Pingsheng neither admitted nor denied it. He held the jade flute, lightly pressed the sound holes, and blew it through the mask: "It's rude not to reciprocate. I also have a song for you, young lady."
