My timeless tavern

Chapter 494 Edward Scissorhands and Zhu Di

By the time Zhong Kui opened his eyes, his temperament had changed significantly.

His eyes were dazed for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

After chatting with a few others for a while, still thinking about the things in his original world, he hurriedly said goodbye.

……

The plane of "Tianshi Zhong Kui".

Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu were forced to retreat step by step.

The two men looked weak and had injuries on their bodies.

They were both good friends that Zhong Kui met when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. They had always been by each other's side after his death and were his most relied-upon right-hand men.

Therefore, after the Indian evil monk failed to find Zhong Kui, he set his sights on the two of them.

He forced the two to tell him where Zhong Kui had gone.

Not to mention that the two of them didn't know, even if they knew, they couldn't say it, so this is what happened.

"If you don't accept my toast, then you will be punished. I'll kill you later and I'll see if he can hide from me!" said the Indian evil monk coldly.

His moves became more and more fierce, making Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu less and less able to defend themselves.

After knocking down two people one after another, he raised his right hand and slapped Liu Hanyan who was approaching fiercely.

This time, his palm strike was so fast and fierce that there was a loud explosion in the air!

Liu Hanyan only saw a black shadow coming at her like lightning, and it was too late to dodge.

Seeing that the palm as powerful as thunder was about to hit him on the head, he even had a premonition of his head exploding. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared beside him.

Then, the hand that was almost touching his nose quickly retreated.

The evil Indian monk flew backwards!
Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu looked carefully and showed joy on their faces.

Isn’t that man in a red robe, with a stern face and curly beard the disappeared Zhong Kui?
The two were about to speak when they saw Zhong Kui throwing a scroll to them.

"Brother, hold it for me."

After saying this, Zhong Kui strode towards the Indian evil monk.

"You've come just in time!" The Indian demon monk stood up and sneered, "Let's put an end to our grievances today!"

Although he was caught off guard and slapped away by Zhong Kui, the Indian monk was not afraid.

He thought he had great magical powers and felt that even without the help of magical weapons, he was able to suppress the opponent.

The two have conflicting personalities and have been entangled for several lifetimes. The woman he loves, Murong Xue, is also in love with Zhong Kui.

With new and old grudges piling up together, he now just wants to kill Zhong Kui as soon as possible!
Zhong Kui also had this idea.

Seeing the other party coming towards him aggressively, he clenched his fists and went forward to meet him.

With the help of that glass of wine, his cultivation level has now exceeded 100,000 years, and his strength has undergone a transformation.

As soon as they started fighting, the Indian monk felt this change.

In the past he always had the upper hand, but this time, as soon as they started fighting, he found that the opponent was so powerful that he could hardly resist.

He was secretly shocked and no longer hesitated, using his ultimate move.

Taking advantage of the moment when he and Zhong Kui separated from each other, his figure disappeared into the sky, and then he slapped down from top to bottom with one palm.

There was heavy black fog all around.

Along with his palm technique that came down from the sky, a terrifying and fierce aura pressed down from the air, causing the black fog to split into several strands. Some of the surrounding trees broke with "cracks" under the suppression of this invisible force.

When his palm approached Zhong Kui's head, spider-web-like cracks had already appeared on the ground.

As the two figures got closer, the cracks continued to expand!
Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu, who witnessed this scene, could not hide the horror on their faces.

The two shouted "Be careful".

But the following scene left them stunned for a long time.

However, facing this fatal move, Zhong Kui did not retreat at all.

A faint blush flashed across his dark face, and the magic power in his hands almost condensed into substance and blasted towards the sky.

The moment his palm touched the Indian evil monk, a deafening bang was heard, and the strong wind blew Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu away.

After the two of them steadied themselves, they looked carefully and found that the black fog around them had dissipated.

A huge pit more than ten meters deep appeared where Zhong Kui originally stood.

His red robe rustled and he stood straight.

The evil Indian monk fell limply on the edge of the deep pit, motionless like a dead dog.

King Liu and the other man looked at each other.

They are good friends of Zhong Kui. They have followed him to slay demons and monsters for hundreds of years, so they naturally know each other's strength.

With the reputation of being the Great General who conquers demons and with great popularity, his strength is not weak and he can even communicate with the Jade Emperor.

But this evil Indian monk is even more amazing.

He committed many evil deeds and killed many ghost officials. Even the King of Hell could not do anything to him.

In the past, when Zhong Kui talked about this guy, his words were full of fear.

But now, how come he beat him half to death with just one slap?
The two were in a daze when they suddenly heard a whimper: "Where is this?"

"Zhong Kui..."

Listening to the voice that sounded a bit joyful, the two saw a figure appearing beside them.

Liu Hanyan noticed that the scroll had been opened unconsciously, but it was empty.

When he saw the woman's face again, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that the person in the painting is Murong Xue!

But wasn't she sealed in the evil monk's dice weapon earlier?

How did it become a painting again?
Questions popped up in his mind one after another, making him feel that Zhong Kui in front of him became a stranger.

"It's me, you're okay!" Zhong Kui said with a smile.

He raised his hand and summoned the empty scroll into his hand.

"What are you going to do with this person?" Zhong Kui pointed at the evil monk from India.

Murong Xue had just been rescued from trouble and was still a little dazed.

Hearing Zhong Kui's words, she looked in the direction of the voice.

When she saw the Indian evil monk who looked like a dead dog, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

This evil monk deceived her and almost caused her to kill Zhong Kui.

She couldn't imagine how painful and guilty she would feel if Zhong Kui died.

She wanted to kill the other person, but she was afraid that Zhong Kui would think she was too cruel.

She herself didn't notice it, she never cared about it in the past.

"It's up to you," she said softly.

That gentle tone made King Liu and the other look at each other again with disgust on their faces.

Zhong Kui was quite happy.

The Indian monk, who was still somewhat conscious in his haze, felt even more disappointed when he heard this.

“Collect!” Zhong Kui suddenly raised the scroll.

The evil Indian monk was already seriously injured and dying, and now he was ruthlessly attacked by the goddess he secretly loved. He was so sad that he didn't have any resistance at all.

A moment later, an ugly monk appeared in the blank scroll.

Zhong Kui put it away, thinking that he had got another sum of time and space coins.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Murong Xue who was walking towards him.

……

"So you made peace with her?" Uncle Jiu asked.

"There were just some misunderstandings between us before. Now that we've talked it out..." Zhong Kui paused, a hint of shyness flashing across his dark face.

Now several days have passed since he first came to the tavern.

He had been busy with things in his original world these days and had no time. Now that he had finally found some time, he sold the Indian demon monk and sat down with a few new friends.

Yan Chixia curled her lips and advised: "Don't let women affect your Taoism!"

Zuo Qianhu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Old Yan's Taoism has always been as solid as a rock, haha!"

"Maybe you just haven't met a woman who makes you fall in love," Zhong Kui said with a smile, "Humans are not plants, they have seven emotions and six desires. Only by opening your heart can you reach a higher level!"

"That's true," Zuo Qianhu quickly agreed, "Even Daoist Fellow Han has found a Taoist companion."

"Two." Uncle Jiu corrected.

Yan Chixia also became interested: "Isn't there only one person named Nangong Wan?"

Uncle Jiu chuckled: "That's because you didn't see it..."

Zhong Kui pricked up his ears and listened.

He knew who Han Daoyou was that several people were talking about.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The man's name is Han Li. He lives in a colorful world of cultivating immortals and is extremely powerful.

Although he had never talked to Han Li, he was very interested in this kind of expert.

The topic of their conversation gradually shifted from Han Li to other top experts in the tavern.

Knowing that Ye Fan, Xiao Yan and other top representatives in the tavern were not alone, and that even Erlang Shen was with Chang'e and had invited everyone to a wedding banquet a few days ago, Zhong Kui's unnatural feeling faded a lot.

"Brother Yan, I think it's time for you to get a wife!" he advised.

"woman……"

Yan Chixia opened his mouth and wanted to say "They are all burdens", but suddenly he noticed that many female customers were staring at him. Even Ying Yinman and others at the bar were looking at him. He had no choice but to change his words: "Women will affect my sword speed. I am so much freer alone!"

The others smiled knowingly.

Zhong Kui looked at Uncle Jiu again and was about to ask him something when he suddenly saw a man walking towards him.

"Brother Zhong, right? I've heard of your name for a long time!" The man smiled and bowed, "My name is Xiang Shaolong!"

Zhong Kui politely said "Nice to meet you".

"Brother Shaolong, is there any good news?" Uncle Jiu turned around and asked with a smile.

Xiang Shaolong smiled happily as he took out a few packets of wedding candy from his ring, handed them to a few people and said, "I will be a father in a few days, so I'm giving you some wedding candy to share the joy."

"Congratulations!" Yan Chixia smiled and bowed.

He remembered that some time ago Xiang Shaolong came to the two miracle doctors to pray for a child, and this matter was once the talk of the town in the tavern.

The others also congratulated him.

Xiang Shaolong's brows were filled with joy.

Several of his wives and concubines became pregnant one after another, which made him very happy and made up for the last bit of regret.

After distributing the candies, he went to another table.

The pub was gradually filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Zhong Kui was puzzled. What was there to be happy about when the baby wasn't even born yet?

In his world, even ghosts can give birth to children!

After listening to Uncle Jiu's explanation, he suddenly understood.

He suddenly noticed that Zuo Qianhu was secretly glancing at a stunningly beautiful woman.

He naturally knew the woman's identity and kept his distance from her.

I heard that the woman named Dongfang Bubai was a man when she first came to the tavern!

Yan Chixia and Uncle Jiu both caught his gaze sharply and noticed something strange about Zuo Qianhu, and both smiled.

Zuo Qianhu also felt the subtle change in the atmosphere. He coughed awkwardly and brought up a new topic awkwardly.

What are you thinking about? The Oriental girl is a real woman now, how could she not have a child?

Thinking of this, Zuo Qianhu suddenly felt a little melancholy.

In the past, Dongfang Bubai had been aggressive towards him and had undisguised love for him, but he ignored her at that time. But now he has gradually changed his mind, and Dongfang Bubai has become lukewarm instead.

Time passed day by day as Zuo Qianhu felt lost.

A month passed as Han Li "refused to listen to advice" and went into seclusion.

There were five new guests in the tavern.

The first one was a man named Edward.

Edward is a taciturn person, and he was extremely nervous and cautious when he first came to the tavern.

His appearance was also quite strange. His leather jacket was almost sticking to his skin, and his face was covered with wounds.

What amazes people most is his pair of scissor hands.

Some people speculated about his identity, while others saw through his true nature at a glance.

robot!
A robot born with its own thoughts!

Tony and others who noticed this were naturally extremely curious.

They wanted to get close to Edward, but Edward had a simple personality and soon revealed all his secrets.

He said that he was originally created by his "father" to cut vegetables on an assembly line... Later, his "father" gave him the same thinking and body as ordinary people, and when he was just short of a pair of hands to be completely like a human being, his "father" died.

He also talked about the town, the girl he loved, and the bully he accidentally killed.

"Everyone in the town said I was a monster. They hated and feared me, no matter how many good things I did."

"They are the only family that treats me well...but I can't drag them down."

"Now that you are here..."

“You are all good people!”

Edward said sincerely.

His mind is pure and he can feel the kindness of others.

Naturally, everyone is happy to get close to this kind robot.

Yao Chen offered to help him refine a real body.

Edward was deeply moved.

He had been hiding in the castle, but would occasionally sneak out to see the girl who had been haunting him.

She has been single for many years, but when faced with a man's request for a date a few days ago, she no longer refused as usual, but began to hesitate.

He was extremely conflicted.

He hoped she would refuse, but he felt he shouldn't be so selfish.

He would rather become a normal person than a monster.

That way I could appear in front of her openly, kiss her and take care of her.

Edward got a new body, but he still didn't have the courage to appear in front of the girl he liked.

The person who entered the tavern after him was Zhu Di, who had just seized the throne from his nephew.

Zhu Di, who had just entered the tavern, was extremely surprised.

What surprised him most was the other Zhu Yuanzhang who appeared here.

Naturally, he would not recognize his ancestors as casually as Zhu Youjian, but his attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang was also very intimate.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just established the Ming Dynasty and his son had not yet been born. He would not be angry with such a "future" "son" who might plot for power and usurp the throne.

On the contrary, having read history books, he knew Zhu Di's achievements and felt that the other party's attempt to usurp the throne was no big deal.

At least the country is still in the hands of the Zhu family!

It was precisely because of his approving attitude that Zhu Di became more friendly.

Even if he didn't say it, he regarded Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him as half a father.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not oppose me in the tavern, so even if my own father crawled out of the grave, wouldn't he have to say that I was right?
If it weren't for him, the Ming Dynasty might have been torn apart by his nephew's presumptuous behavior!
