Invincible from the start

Chapter 256 Something That Shouldn't Appear (Two in One)

By the river of Wangchuan, Cui Jue was sitting on a chair. There was a barbecue grill in front of him. The firewood was burning vigorously. There was a row of chicken legs on the grill. Just one smell is enough to whet the appetite.

But Cui Jue didn't feel anything. He sat there with a fat body and an expressionless face. He roasted chicken legs all day long and grilled them with firewood. He actually found it quite troublesome. The chicken drumsticks are baked, why do we need to bake them slowly with firewood like this...

But Qijie insisted that he roast it with firewood, saying that it would be delicious and tasteful, and he had to roast it himself. In the entire underworld, only the chicken legs he roasted could satisfy everyone.

After taking the judge's pen and brushing some condiments on the chicken legs, Qi Jie also walked over from the side, dressed in a white robe, with a gentle smile, he picked up the chicken legs, and gnawed at will without caring about the appearance.

With the chicken in his mouth, Qijie said: "It's a pity that the poor monk has to come over to pick it up in person every time. It seems that he wants to find a boy to help the poor monk run errands."

Qijie talked while eating, as if talking to himself, Cui Jue continued to roast the chicken legs with a blank face, and continued to roast new chicken legs after watching the chicken legs being taken away by Zhaocai.

In the underworld, his chicken drumsticks are the most popular, so he roasts a large amount every day and prepares them in advance, otherwise he will be annoyed to death if they run out of stock one day.

"Master, there are so many things to do recently, I'm afraid I don't have more time to roast chicken legs." Cui Jue glanced at Qijie, and finally expressed his thoughts.

For Qijie, Cui Jue has always respected Qijie very much, Qijie is his benefactor, so he will try his best to meet Qijie's requirements, but recently he is too busy...

The main reason is that Zhong Kui left temporarily, and all the affairs fell on the head of Chief Su. For this reason, Su Xiaoxiao specially asked him to take over the affairs that Zhong Kui had dealt with before, and share it. This is the first time he has reviewed these in large quantities. Zhezi, coupled with the need to roast chicken legs every day, is under a lot of pressure and is already too busy.

Qijie was concentrating on gnawing on the chicken leg. Hearing Cui Jue's words, his fingers holding the chicken leg paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Amitabha, roasting chicken legs is a big deal, and you can let go of other things..."

Hearing this, the corner of Cui Jue's mouth twitched...

Qi Jie had already finished eating the chicken legs, looked over, clasped his hands together, and said in the manner of an accomplished monk, "Just wait for Zhong Kui to come back to deal with the affairs in the underworld, we can't stop roasting the chicken legs, we must continue to maintain it." .”

Cui Jue forced a smile: "Master, if the affairs in the underworld are not dealt with, many things will not be able to function..."

Qi Jie was silent for a moment, and then said: "The poor monk will bring Zhong Kui back."

Cui Jue was also silent, this master would do anything for chicken legs...

The key point is that Zhong Kui doesn't ask for leave all the year round, but this time he asked for leave suddenly, it must be a big deal, how could he come back easily, so he opened his mouth and said: "Master, Zhong Tianshi seems to be busy with some private matters, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back soon."

Qijie said calmly: "Amitabha, if it's private or official, if it's all done, wouldn't it be okay? You continue to roast your chicken legs, and the poor monk will help Zhong Kui to finish the matter."

Qijie's talk has reached this point, Cui Jue couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and continued to roast the chicken legs...

Seeing Cui Jue's behavior, Qi Jie nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand, pinched his fingers, and said with a smile: "There is trouble with Zhong Kui, the poor monk will come whenever he goes."

Qi Jie looked mysterious, Cui Jue didn't want to ask anything, but continued to roast the chicken legs, and watched Qi Jie walk towards the attic where the emperor was.

In the attic, there are four windows open, and all the wind from all directions rushes in, blowing up the roller blinds beside the window eaves, making a slight sound, and occasionally, the faint fragrance of flowers from the sea of ​​flowers on the other side wafts in. On the head of the bed, with a soft headrest under it, the body is slightly tilted, eyes half-closed, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Qijie knocked on the door and came in, glanced at Su Heng who was leaning on the head of the bed, his posture was very much like a fish turning over and falling on the bank of the river...

"Emperor, I heard that the Li family in Chentangguan has received the favor of the Emperor many times." Qijie looked at Su Heng and said softly.

Su Heng still squinted his eyes and didn't understand why Qijie came here to ask such a question, but he gave a light hum. He saved Li Jing twice. Both times, Chentangguan encountered a strong enemy. To be precise, It should be that the entire Chentang Pass has received Su Heng's favor.

Qijie looked at it and smiled and said: "My lord, I have a predestined relationship with the third son of the Li family. It happens that there is a boy missing in front of the poor monk's seat. If the poor monk brings the third son back to the underworld and becomes the boy in front of the poor monk, I don't know if the emperor will accept it." allow?"

Hearing this, Su Heng finally opened his eyes, and took a closer look at Qijie. The great monk said last time that he was destined to be Dahei, and then Dahei became a listener, and his ability to eavesdrop on Shenzhou can be said to be It is frightening to hear the news, and it makes the leaders of all sects tremble. They should think carefully before doing anything bad, for fear that one day they will be eavesdropped by this Truth Listening. This time the great monk said that Li Shisan Young Master and him are predestined, so I don't know what will happen...

"If they are willing, of course I have no objection." Su Heng thought for a while, nodded, and agreed.

After hearing this, Qijie smiled, clasped his hands together and bowed eleven times: "Amitabha, since that's the case, the poor monk will go, and the emperor will take his leave."

Su Heng watched Qijie leave, recalled what the great monk said just now, and finally came to the conclusion that there might be another freelancer in the underworld, and Cui Jue's workload might increase again...

……

Within a hundred miles of Lanruo Temple, there is no living creature to be seen. Along the way, the ground is covered with bones, and the clouds in the sky are also gray, covering the sky like the smog.

Zhong Kui entered the boundary of Lanruo Temple alone. As soon as he took a step with his front foot, he felt a gust of dark wind blowing towards his face, which was very different from the outside environment.

The flowers and plants on both sides of the road have withered to death, and their heads are hanging down. The skeletons on the side of the road still show the terrifying appearance of opening their mouths when they were alive.

Zhong Kui walked towards Lanruo Temple, he didn't make much noise, for fear of disturbing others, he wanted to see if there were any changes around here.

There is no big change, but there are various strange sounds in my ears from time to time, such as laughter, crying, screaming, it sounds creepy, but Zhong Kui, as the celestial ghost hunter of the underworld, is even scarier than this scene. I've seen it all, so I don't care.

Relying on his natural sensitivity to these evils, Zhong Kui quickly found the location of Lanruo Temple.

The ancient temple is still so colorful and dilapidated. The body of the headless Buddha in the temple is black, just like the ancient tree in the sky. Every branch and leaf of the ancient tree is black, and underneath are the skeletons hanged to death by tree vines.

Zhong Kui's eyes just swept across the ancient tree, and soon shifted to a coffin, as if sensing his gaze, a woman in white was sitting inside the coffin, she was beautiful and delicate, with a pair of suspicious eyes on her oval face. Looking straight here.

Zhong Kui paid close attention to this woman, and found that although she was a spirit body and she lived in the evil Lanruo Temple, the woman was very pure, without any evil spirit on her body, as pure as a piece of white paper.

Such a woman has no evil spirit in her body, and her cultivation base seems to be very weak. Why is there no danger at all in Lanruo Temple?

Zhong Kui thought it was very strange, but before he had time to think about it, the ancient tree suddenly shook violently, and on the branch in the middle appeared a woman, dressed in black, who was petite and exquisite. She sat on the branch, leaning her body, Two legs dangled gently on it.

The woman turned to look at Zhong Kui, and shouted, "Brother Zhong."

The sound of Big Brother Zhong reminded Zhong Kui of the pure girl Qingruo he met when he and the emperor first came to Lanruo Temple.

She is also so petite and exquisite, but she looked innocent at the beginning, but now Qing Ruo is full of evil spirits, exuding a violent smell from the beginning to the end.

"Brother Zhong, I knew that as long as I become stronger, you will definitely come to see me." Qing Ruo continued to swing her legs, she smiled, and her smile was very strange.

Zhong Kui watched silently, and became vigilant in secret. This Qingruo is no longer the Qingruo at the beginning. China is so big, and everything can appear. It is not uncommon for a pure little girl to become a big monster. .

Qingruo ignored Zhong Kui's vigilance, she continued to smile, her tone was low and sharp: "Brother Zhong, since you are here, please stay with me."

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of vines rose from behind the ancient sky tree. Each vine was thick and thick, with tiny black thorns on it. The long vines rolled towards Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui had been prepared for a long time, and the Celestial Master Sword came out in response. Holding the sword in his right hand, he took out a pile of yellow talisman papers in his left hand, and sprinkled them into the air. The paper has an invisible effect of restraining evil. When the attacking tree vines saw the place where the talisman paper was, they immediately flinched back, and then wanted to continue attacking in another direction. However, Zhong Kui was surrounded by talisman papers, and the tree vines could not find the attack The target will be surrounded by a circle.

Zhong Kui took the opportunity to slash at the vines with his sword. He swung his sword very quickly. The Tianshi sword was born to restrain evil, and several vines were cut off by the sharp Tianshi sword.

The vines were connected to the body of the ancient tree. After breaking, a scream of pain came out from inside the ancient tree. Qing Ruo sat on the branch with her head lowered. Her long, black hair covered her face, and behind the black hair came a scream of pain. A low and hoarse voice came: "Brother Zhong, you are so cruel. Sure enough, no man is a good thing. Since you don't want to accompany me, then you go to die."

As the words fell, a black light spread from the center of the ancient tree to the surroundings, and each tree vine became stronger under the blessing of the black light. This time, the tree vines were not afraid of the talisman paper, and hundreds of tree vines directly passed through the talisman paper. Formation, coming towards Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui's face was expressionless, his legs were close together, the Celestial Master Sword was facing his chest, and he muttered something, a golden light immediately protected his body, those tree vines were swung down, but the golden light's defense could not be broken, so he could only stand outside in a panic. shouted.

Zhong Kui was not in a hurry, and continued to chant the mantra, he was brewing.

Those tree vines seemed to know it too, and they swung harder, but they still couldn't break through the defense.

Just when the tree vine was about to explode with greater strength, a black shadow suddenly broke in, and the black shadow appeared, it was a cloud of black mist, within the black mist, a figure floating in the air, it was Nezha.

Nezha ignored Zhong Kui, he stared straight at the ancient tree in the sky, his eyes were blood red, he opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and licked greedily on his lips, as if he was watching some delicious feast.

Qing Ruo on the tree branch was also taken aback when she saw Nezha who suddenly barged in, but after seeing Nezha's actions, she frowned in disgust, and turned to the tree vines that were waving at Zhong Kui. Nezha attacked.

Nezha smiled coldly. He had a red-tasseled gun in his hand. The body of the gun was like blood, and a faint black mist floated up. He waved the red-tasseled gun to resist the attack of the tree vines. There is a weakness, there is a black evil in each vine, he stares at these evil, the gun hits, every time the evil is stabbed, it will break away from the vine, he takes the opportunity to swallow the evil, And the tree vines without the blessing of evil will instantly wither and fall down.

Nezha wielded countless spears, devoured evil spirits one by one, strengthened himself, and his cultivation base grew extremely fast.

Zhong Kui, who was still preparing, saw this scene and frowned. This child did not know where it came from, and he was also full of evil spirits. However, this child seemed to be able to suppress evil spirits, and he also fed on evil spirits. Swallow it down, and the strength will increase greatly.

This sudden appearance of a child disrupted the battle situation, and Zhong Kui also began to think about what to do next.

While Zhong Kui was thinking, Nezha shot down a lot of vines again, swallowed a lot of evil energy, and became stronger and stronger. Knowing that he was afraid, he just screamed, and a stronger evil spirit floated on the trunk, and the evil spirit continued to bless the tree vine, and its power was enhanced again.

And Nezha, looking at these vines, just absorbed them with a greedy face. He kept shooting down and absorbing them, and finally hundreds of vines were all shot down by him with a red-tasseled spear.

"Stinky boy, you wait for me." After all the trees and vines were shot down, a black mist suddenly floated out of Qingruo's body. The black mist looked like a figure, but it had no face, just like a shadow. The voice of the shadow was high-pitched. After coming out of Qingruo's body, turn around and run...

Nezha didn't speak after seeing it, but just stared at the black shadow. He let go of the red-tasseled spear in his hand, pierced through the space, and in an instant, the shadow was strangled by a single shot!

At this time, Qing Ruo fell on the branch of the tree after the shadow left her body. She leaned against her body, and all her black body faded away, and she returned to her original appearance. , it was the Qing Ruo whom Zhong Kui first saw.

At this moment, Qing Ruo no longer had the slightest trace of evil in her body, and she became that little girl who was as white as paper again.

Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, but then his scalp tingled again, because there seemed to be a more troublesome existence...

Nezha floated in the air, and the evil spirit on his body became heavier. He glanced at Lanruo Temple with bloody eyes, and there was no evil spirit in his mouth. On Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui only felt a chill down his back. He still maintained the previous posture of raising his sword and chanting a mantra. His brewing is not over yet...

Nezha looked at Zhong Kui, his blood-red eyes were confused and perplexed, as if he was thinking about something, and his violent face seemed to be struggling with something, as if he wanted to kill Zhong Kui, but he didn't seem to want to do so, floating in the air , tangled.

Zhong Kui's heart jumped when he saw this. He has been brewing this for too long, but there is no way to deal with these evil creatures. If he doesn't use a big move, he may not be able to kill him...

Before dealing with the blackened Qingruo, he was shrouded in golden light and could block the attack of the tree vine. He had enough time to prepare, but this kid was obviously much stronger. He was afraid that his golden light shield would not last too long. Long.

"what------"

Nezha suddenly let out a yell, closed his eyes tightly, and his voice was very loud, spreading throughout Lanruo Temple. After a while, he opened his eyes, and those blood-red eyes became even redder, very strange, with a violent expression on his face. It was a little bit more, and the evil spirit on his body was even stronger. He raised the red-tasseled spear and finally made a move towards Zhong Kui.

Cold sweat dripped down Zhong Kui's forehead, his mind turned quickly, thinking about every next step.

And Nezha had already made his move at this time, the blood red of the red-tasseled gun pierced the sky, like the setting sun behind the gray clouds, stabbing towards Zhong Kui across the sky.

Zhong Kui's eyes widened, looking at the blood red that came from afar, he was still calculating, still brewing...

Seeing that the tip of the red-tasseled spear was about to come, when the situation was critical, a monk in white robe appeared. He broke through the gray clouds and came riding a seven-color lotus.

"Amitabha." The monk recited the Buddha's name, clasped his hands together, sat down and turned the colored lotus slightly, and the seven rays of light turned into silk-like colored ribbons to wrap around Nezha.

Under the belt of seven colors, Nezha, who had been fierce before, lost the strength to resist in an instant. He was entangled by the ribbon and screamed loudly, as if he was very unwilling. Shenzhou is so big, there is an evil spirit waiting for him that can't be swallowed up , he is like a gluttonous child, wanting to eat all these delicacies, but he has no chance.

"Thank you, Master." Zhong Kui had already seen the monk clearly, it was Qijie, he breathed a sigh of relief, the brewing Celestial Master Sword in his hand finally stopped brewing, and put it away...

Qi Jie smiled slightly, and with a light wave of his hand, Nezha, who was wrapped in ribbons, was pulled to his side in an instant.

Looking at Nezha who was struggling, Qijie smiled, turned to Zhong Kui and said, "Please send a letter to the Li couple in Chentangguan."

As Qijie said, he threw a prepared letter towards Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui took it, naturally he would not refuse, and he didn't ask any more questions, saying that he would leave for Chentangguan now, but he still looked at it before leaving. Qing Ruo, leaning on the tree branch, seemed to have something to say, but in the end she didn't say it, and turned to leave.

Qijie also glanced at Qingruo, looking at the little girl who had passed out, he smiled and didn't care, and he didn't care about the delicate female ghost hiding in the coffin until his eyes swept over the headless Buddha statue in the temple At that moment, his expression finally changed. Looking at the headless Buddha statue, he pinched his fingers and his expression gradually became serious.

Behind this severed Buddha statue, there are some things hidden, these things are a bit troublesome...

"Amitabha, I didn't expect to find something that shouldn't appear... It seems that I have to go back and tell the emperor..."

Qijie said something to himself, and regardless of the struggling Nezha, he drove the seven-color lotus and brought Nezha back to the underworld.
