Kaifeng Monster

Chapter 31
Thinking about it, Wen Quxing descended to the earth, so many pairs of eyes in the upper realm stared at him, being framed and plotted by mortals is just a mere disaster in the world, but if there is a demonic aura...

This foot must not cross the boundary, playing with fire can be done occasionally, as for flying into the fire... only a moth without a brain can do it.

Therefore, she restrained herself and made this deal with Zhan Zhao calmly.

Zhan Zhao's eyelashes drooped, and there was no expression on his face, but countless thoughts were running through his mind.

Hongluan's aura became weaker and weaker, she didn't know what kind of pain she was enduring, she even lost the strength to frown, her absent-minded eyes stared straight into the air, her hand clutching her chest was stiff, no matter how hard she tried not open.

Zhan Zhao can almost feel that Hongluan's remaining life is being pulled away like a gossamer.

The scroll is not heavy, but the weight has been pressed to the heart.

He has never hesitated to use "Yingzhou Picture" to exchange Hongluan's life, one for meeting and the other for saving people, and the priorities are determined.

From the very beginning, he didn't believe that he could meet Duanmucui by using the "Yingzhou Picture"—the secret is unpredictable. This picture is in his hands, and it is no different from ordinary calligraphy and painting. When will he be able to understand the mystery?
It was Xiao Qinghua's words that really put Zhan Zhao in a dilemma.

I am not the owner of "Yingzhou Map", so what qualifications do I have to decide whether "Yingzhou Map" belongs or not?

Lily finally got impatient.

"Zhan Zhao, if you can't make up your mind, think about it slowly, and prepare a coffin for this girl by the way—if I can't get the picture today, I can get it another day, but if this girl dies today..."

Li Ji only said half of her words on purpose, sneered again and again, and turned around to leave.

"Hold on."

Sure enough, Li Ji was proud of herself, but she showed a surprised look on her face: "Why, have you changed your mind?"

Zhan Zhao signaled Zhao Hu to support Hongluan, and stood up slowly: "Saving people is the most important thing. After Hongluan is rescued, Zhan will offer "Yingzhou Picture" with both hands."

Li Ji raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why didn't you give me the picture first? After I get the picture, I will save people myself."

"Zhan was defeated by you the day before yesterday, if you want to grab the picture, I may not be able to stop you." Zhan Zhao's eyes turned cold, and the topic changed immediately, "Since you are not going to do it, you must avoid the rules of the transaction. "

Li Ji's eyes lingered on Zhan Zhao's body for a while, and she smiled sinisterly: "Alright, if you go against your word, I have a way to make this girl die faster."

"Penglai Picture", "Abbot Picture" and "Yingzhou Picture".

Three pictures of fairy mountains fluttered in the air in the study room, and the candlelight on the desk was rather erratic, casting erratic shadows on the pictures.

"I really don't understand," Li Ji stretched out her hand and flicked the scroll, "You are a fairy, and if you are a fairy, there is something you can't do yourself, but you want to be with demons..."

"Your words are too much." Wen Guwei remained indifferent.

"To cooperate with someone like you, I have to ask more." Li Ji sneered, "Wen Guweiyu, I don't care what you are planning, you always know what I want."

"Of course it's clear, it's just the elixir of immortality. Li Ji, you have cultivated into a monster, and you can enjoy a thousand years of life, isn't that enough?"

"After a thousand years, don't you want to die? Besides, if you take the elixir of immortality, you can ascend to immortality."

"What good is being a fairy?"

"It's better than being a demon."

Wen Guwei sighed: "After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the upper realms have not saved mortals for a long time, and there are very few elixir left."

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't cooperate with you." Li Ji showed a haughty look.

"Yingzhou's elixir of immortality is hidden under the Qingli Jade Table in Jinluan Guan. After the matter is over, I will go get it for you."

"There's "Yingzhou Picture" here, why can't you get it now?" Li Ji was aggressive.

"The passage between "Yingzhou Map" and the human world will only be opened at the right time in Shuo Ri."

"There are still nine days left to be Shuo Ri."

"The Wart Bear has not found Mr. Wen yet."

"It will be a matter of time before you find the Mr. Wen you are talking about." Li Ji's complexion became more and more serious, "Wen Guweiyu, why are you pushing so hard?"

Wen Guwei remained silent for a long while, then Fang said: "Duanmucui was confinement at the Jinluan Temple, bumped into her, never returned."

"It's Duanmucui again!" Li Ji laughed back angrily, "What is her background that wants me to avoid her?"

"You really want to know?" Wen Guwei had a very strange look on his face.

"I would like to hear the details." Li Ji raised her head proudly.

Wen Guwei glanced at the remaining ink in the inkstone of the book case, flicked the sleeve of his robe, the strong wind lifted the inkstone, and the ink was sprinkled towards Li Ji.

Li Ji was startled, and was about to turn around to avoid it, when the ink seemed to have aura, stretched and meandered in all directions in the mid-air, and immediately formed four big characters flying around.

Fengming Qishan.

"I want incense sticks, the best incense sticks, and an incense burner, the best Yaozhou kiln incense burner." Xiao Qinghua wiped her tears and choked up, "It takes nine days of incense, so that I can dream, and the gods will tell me "Ying" Where is "Zhou Tu"..."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and hurriedly picked up a pen to write down on the paper.

Compassionate, Zhan Zhao said softly for a while, "Don't worry, I will buy it back."

"I don't want you to buy it. Whoever wants you to buy it, I don't care for you to buy it." Xiao Qinghua almost yelled out, and when the yelling was over, she curled her mouth and tears came down again.

"I'll go buy it, I'll go buy it." Seeing something was wrong, Zhao Hu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the paper that Gongsun Ce wrote down, "Don't worry."

"I need to buy more." Xiao Qinghua added, sobbing.

"Definitely," Zhao Hu wanted to swear to the sky, "I will definitely buy a lot, not to mention burning for nine days, or even burning for nineteen days."

"Why don't you go?"

"Go here, go here." Zhao Hu put the writing paper into his arms, and hurriedly stepped out the door, almost tripping over the threshold.

Zhan Zhao sighed softly in his heart, looking at Xiao Qinghua's red and swollen eyes, he felt really guilty.

"Little Qinghua, listen to me..."

"I don't want to listen to you, it gives me a headache!" Xiao Qinghua put her head in her hands, sat down on the table, and kicked her two thin legs, "How far are you rolling? How far away!"

Zhan Zhao remained silent, but Gongsun Ce spoke first: "Little Qinghua is here to take care of me, you go to see Miss Hongluan. Even though she was rescued, her body is still very weak."

"But……"

"What else?" Gongsun Ce pretended to be angry, pulled Zhan Zhao up and walked out the door, and when he was almost at the door, he quietly winked at Zhan Zhao, and said in a low voice, "It's very hot now, little one." The doll is a temper mate, and it will be cured in a short time... You should avoid it first."

"Then there is Mr. Lao here." Zhan Zhao said softly, "If Xiao Qinghua wants something, just agree to it, and if you can't do it, come to me."

Before Gongsun Ce could answer, he heard Xiao Qinghua furious in the room: "Don't be hypocritical, you stabbed the knife just now, and now you're pretending to be a good person!"

Panicked, Gongsun Ce kept pushing and shoving, and finally persuaded Zhan Zhao to leave.

Nine days later, Shuo Ri.

There is no moon on the night of Shuo Ri.

Zhuque Street, Jinhou Lane, Xihualiu.

At midnight, there was silence inside and outside Xihualiu, the long Jinhou alleyway was empty and silent, all the lanterns under the eaves on both sides were extinguished, only the two red-bottomed lanterns hanging at the main entrance were brightly lit. A pair of glowing red eyes in the dark night.

The flow of fine flowers had stopped, the huge courtyard was pitch dark, and there was a very slight creaking sound, the door of the wing room in the back yard slowly opened, someone leaned out half of his body, looked around, and stepped lightly. When he went out, he closed the door very carefully.

Then, the black figure hurried through the backyard, stepped over the moon gate, turned east and west very familiarly, and came to the door of the study after a while, looked around again, pushed the door open, and quickly entered sideways , and closed the door with his backhand.

There are no candles in the study, but it does not hinder her vision.

Because among the three pictures floating in midair, one picture was glowing with soft light.

"Yingzhou Map".

Li Ji took a step forward, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and lightly pressed it on the canoe in "Yingzhou Picture".

Insidious people cooperate with insidious people. Cooperation itself is not a problem, but mutual trust is the key.

Obviously, Li Ji doesn't trust Wen Gu Weiyu.

What she wants is the elixir, and her methods may be vicious, but her intentions are clear——Wen Guweiyu is different, he keeps secrets and specious, never answers her questions directly, and until now he still refuses to reveal his true intentions—— ——Such cooperation made her a little uneasy.

To put it bluntly, she felt that Wen Gu Weiyu had the potential to cross rivers, demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys. She was afraid that in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty, and all the hard work would be in vain, and she would get nothing.

She was even more afraid of not being able to retreat completely——Wen Guwei, as a god, tried his best to capture the map of the fairy mountain. Could it be that he has entered the magic barrier and stood on the opposite side of the gods?
Please, this is too much fun. Although she is a demon, she never thought of confronting a god.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt terrified, so I decided to go to Yingzhou to find the elixir by myself first without telling Wen Guweiyu. Yu may not be able to find her.

What Fengming Qishan used Duanmucui to scare her, scare her, but Duanmucui's name was never on the list of gods.

The light of "Yingzhou Map" expanded, gradually enveloping Li Ji's whole body.

She suddenly hesitated again.

Who knows what the path between Yingzhou and the human world looks like, what if something goes wrong, what if you can't reach Yingzhou, what if Wen Gu Weiyu didn't lie, wouldn't it be true that in Jinluan's view, he met Duanmucui head-on? Suicide?
Li Ji's thoughts gradually wavered a little, she looked at her hand that was pressing on the canoe, and hesitated whether to withdraw it.

Suddenly, a huge bell rang in my ear, and the hour had come!
The soft light was suddenly dazzling, and the eyes were bright in an instant, as if the body was swept upside down in the rapidly rotating hurricane, and the internal organs were almost thrown out.

The next moment he regained consciousness and clarity, he was actually on a canoe in the vast sea.The wind was high and the waves were violent, the waves were loud, the canoe was bumped up and down, sometimes it was thrown into the air, and sometimes it was sucked into the bottom of the waves.The sea breeze passed through the bones, and for a while there was only the sound of the wind in my ears. The wind tore up my hair violently, as if it was about to be ripped off from my scalp, and my clothes stuck tightly to my body, making me almost breathless.

Li Ji's heart almost jumped out of her throat, her frozen arms trembled and tried to hold onto the edge of the canoe, but suddenly, her eyes seemed to be stuck by something, and she couldn't move for a moment.

A few miles ahead, a majestic fairy mountain goes straight into the sky, with white clouds floating on jade, the sun and the moon shining brightly, and cranes carrying purple sesame, phoenix and dragon soaring.

The fairy mountain was getting closer and closer, Li Ji looked at the craggy cliffs and dense ancient cypresses that gradually became clearer, her eyes became hot for no reason.

Finally arrived...Yingzhou.

Before going to bed, Zhan Zhao came over to Gongsun Ce's room to look at the little blue flowers, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw Gongsun Ce coming out holding a scroll.Gongsun Ce guessed Zhan Zhao's intention, pointed to the room, and said with a low laugh, "I've already fallen asleep, burn incense for nine days, just wait for today's dream."

After speaking, he shook his head and sighed: "Even if it's a dream, so what? The "Yingzhou Picture" is in the hands of the cat demon. That monster is so powerful. Zhan Huwei, do you really want to go and grab the picture?"

Without waiting for Zhan Zhao to answer, he said in confusion: "Speaking of which, this Wen Guweiyu really does nothing. Back then when Miss Duanmu was around, how could she have indulged in spirits and monsters? During these days, I only saw Miss Hongluan running around like a pedantic disciple. , what exactly is Young Master Wen up to?"

He asked and answered by himself, and he was so happy that Zhan Zhao finally got the chance to interject: "Sect Master Wen Gu, as the master of a sect, plans strategies to win thousands of miles, so it is not necessary to do everything by himself."

Gongsun Ce thought it was reasonable: "I hope so, but this cat demon is not easy to subdue, and even Miss Hongluan almost died - after I find out where the little Qinghua Yemeng's "Yingzhou Picture" is, I'd better go ask Wen With the help of the Lonely Sect Master, the chances of winning are better."

"Zhan Zhao also thinks so..."

The two were answering outside the door, the words did not fall, all of them fell into Xiao Qinghua's ears, Xiao Qinghua snorted coldly, and turned inward.

Zhan Zhao, even if I dreamed of where the "Yingzhou Picture" is, I wouldn't tell you, otherwise, even if I got the picture, so what, if the cat demon threatens the life of a red girl and a green girl, why don't you still be obedient Hand over the picture?

Eat a pit and gain a wisdom. This time, I can capture the picture with a bowl of strength.

Going up the mountain along the winding path, along the way, the smoke and clouds are gradually white and the stones are gray. When walking to the middle of the mountain, there is a faint sound of talking and laughing. The heart moves, and she follows the sound and hides behind the tree to watch quietly.

On the cloud platform, there are five or six men with high crowns and belts sitting around, surrounded by several beautiful female fairies. When you look closely, on the side tables, there are all rare delicacies and fresh fruits that you have never seen in your life, with a strong fragrance , the smell is mouth watering.

Li Ji was envious in her heart, and after listening for a while, her envy gradually disappeared, instead she felt a little bored and disdainful, and felt that what the few people were talking about was so boring that it made people drowsy.

What are we talking about?

Let’s talk about Lao Tzu first, Mu Gong Guang Cheng Zi, then Zhou Mu Wang Yan Zhao Wang Wei Boyang, followed by Xiao Shi Dongfang Shuo Zhang Daoling, all those who have achieved Taoism and immortality throughout the ages seem to have to be counted one by one; "True Shape Map", "Spiritual Light Sutra", "Liujia Lingfei Sutra"; and then from theory to practice, talk about Huainan King Liu An's burning of immortal medicine, one person attained Taoism and ascended to heaven. For the sense of superiority of the immortals and the embarrassment that the lives of mortals are like floating weeds.

In a trance, Li Ji seemed to return to the golden Luoyu weaving and colorful Datang Palace. The immortals in front of her, don't they look like those high-ranking officials and nobles who are full of food and do nothing all day long?The same rhetoric, high-mindedness, self-righteousness.

What Wen Guweiyu said was right, what kind of gods are they, they are just undead with more mana than ordinary people.

Li Ji suddenly felt contemptuous in her heart, and when she turned to leave, she deliberately stepped on a fallen branch.

The sound of broken branches was not low, but the immortals on the cloud platform didn't even lift their eyelids, let alone take a look here.

They have been at ease for too long, with their swords and guns in Kuma and Fang Nanshan, and they are at ease in a paradise like Yingzhou, and they have long been unable to raise their vigilance.

Demons can only exist in the lower realm.How could there be demons in Yingzhou?

Li Ji sneered a few times, the plan was made, she turned and went straight to Jinluan Temple.

Wen Guweiyu once showed her the topographical orientation of Yingzhou, emphasizing the Jinluan Temple, in order to let her avoid it.

Who would have thought that the avoidance of that day would be replaced by today's direct acquisition.

The plan can't keep up with the changes, and the world is changing day by day.

The location of Jinluan Temple is very remote, on the top of the fairy mountain, outside the cliff, above the cloud platform, it is illusory and faintly visible.

Entering the Jinluan Temple, the decorations in the temple are just like ordinary people's houses, and it is not like the Taoist temples in the world where the statues of Laojun are raised high.Li Ji thought it was weird at first, then thought about it, and laughed at herself for being absurd: Yingzhou is full of gods, and it is not uncommon for gods to be erected.

He also remembered what Wen Guweiyu said, that the elixir was placed under the Qingli jade table in Jinluanguan, and he searched around but couldn't find it, so he came along the corridor leading to the backyard.The backyard is a different kind of world, where the spring grass spits out the wormwood, the summer warbler sings, the autumn chrysanthemums bloom in full bloom, the winter plum blossoms are fragrant, and the solar terms and timing of the mortal world are not restricted here.Li Ji felt envious again, because she thought: No matter what, being a fairy will never be so bad.

While pondering, his eyes quickly scanned the courtyard, and suddenly touched a person, his whole body shook, subconsciously flew back to the observation room, and stroked his chest with his hands, only to feel a heart beating violently, and his legs felt a little soft and weak. After calming down, he couldn't help but lean out and look around secretly.

But the woman didn't seem to be aware of it, she was wearing a blue shirt like water, holding a cinnabar Xiaohao in her hand, but the other end of the pen was placed between her lips and teeth, and she seemed to think of something for a long time, and she picked up the pen and flicked it in mid-air Draw, stretch out your fingers and tap lightly after drawing, a plump green-winged parrot will fly out with fluttering wings, but unfortunately its body is too heavy, it stops on a plum tree and screams after a while.
