second to none

Chapter 8

When Yuan Zhong returned to the inn, there were already two clansmen standing there, and they were relieved to see him come back unharmed.

"Elder Ding Xu has heard of Zifei's death, and it is a great fortune for you to escape unscathed." The two clansmen knelt down half-kneeling with expressions of awe.

Yuan Zhong smiled: "If I can't get out of my body, what am I still doing here?"

The big monk has a weird personality and is moody. He can laugh and laugh with everyone when he is good, but ignores anyone when he is bad. Everyone knows his problems, and the two clansmen dare not speak at once.

"Ding Xu and these old men still haven't repented?" He took off his dirty robe, and said at the same time: "Fighting with the war ghosts, today is not dead, and tomorrow I don't know who will die. They will probably be satisfied if they die together. gone."

The two clansmen looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Yuan Zhong unraveled the tangled long hair and combed it slowly, then suddenly said: "Let's go, I want to take a shower and change clothes."

Clan A hesitated for a moment, and said urgently: "His Royal Highness, the two of us were sent by Elder Ding Xu to assist you..."

"Go back." He put down the comb, turned around, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were cold, and the people of the two tribes glanced at his eyes, and they felt terrified.

"But... the people from Juzi Lake... Although they have left Fangwaishan for a long time, the quarrel between our clan and the Zhangui clan has deepened, and all clansmen will be restrained. Unity is the right way. Today you are the one who made a difference for them , they would not reject Fang Waishan..."

"Don't make me say it a third time." Yuan Zhong interrupted him coldly, "Go back and tell Elder Ding Xu that after his right hand was severed, he will help him to connect it for me. I don't care."

Could it be that even the great monk is planning to leave Fangwai Mountain? !The two clansmen turned pale with shock. They had lived in Fangwai Mountain since they were young, and the rules of elders like Elder Ding Xu were an iron law in their hearts. The behavior of the great monk can be regarded as deviant.

"But..." Clan A still wanted to say, but at this moment the big monk's face was sinking like water, they felt scared, hesitated for a while, and then bowed and left.

Fighting and fighting all day long, as if their Youhu Clan were really good at fighting, but relying on his left hand, they just used him as a murderous weapon.

Yuan Zhong released an enchantment to cover the inn, raised his hand and took off the fake face, revealing half of the blood-stained face underneath, took a look in the mirror, and sure enough, a bloody hole was torn on the forehead.He didn't care about it, tore off his clothes, and plunged into the bathtub filled with cold water.

He is not in a good mood. Anyone who sees his clansmen dying in front of him will not be in a good mood. What's more, Zifei is fine. He sent him to investigate Ji Tanyin's identity. He himself was suspicious, and she died, making Zifei's death more and more unworthy.

When the monk Xin Mao was dying, the only thing he was worried about was him. He had been with Elder Ding Xu and the others for a long time, had done countless disgraceful things, and had changed too much.Elder Ding Xu once said that this was his fate. After so many years, that hand finally appeared in the clan again. He was destined to become the tip of Youhu's knife, beheading any enemy without mercy.

The monk Xin Mao asked him: Yuanzhong, let me ask you, do you trust anyone in the world except yourself?

He didn't answer then, and he still can't answer now.

Monk Xinmao said: "My family used to be so carefree...that was his last sentence, and he passed away after speaking."

Yuan Zhong let out a slight sigh, picked up cold water and splashed it on his face, leaned on the tub and looked around in awe.There was a teacup on the table, and Ji Tanyin drank tea from that cup at noon, and a life was lost in the blink of an eye. Of course, he also contributed to this. Maybe he would do it again, without hesitation , but it may be that Zifei died too unjustly, and even felt a kind of guilt towards Ji Tanyin.

He was about to leave, he didn't know what monk Xin Mao said about being free and unrestrained, but if he continued to stay in Fangwai Mountain, everything would only get worse.

He took a towel to wipe his face, and was about to get up, when he heard a "click" on the window lattice, and the locked window was opened in such a silent manner, Ji Tanyin, who should have died, had just stepped halfway through the window sill She came in, but unexpectedly saw him leaning naked in the bathtub, both of them were taken aback.

Tan Yin thought of countless explanations along the way. For example, I have a special constitution, so I am not dead, or I am a craftsman, so it is useless to freeze me. But when I think about it carefully, only an idiot will believe these excuses, and she has nothing to do , I had no choice but to ride the mechanism bird around outside, thinking hard.

Do you want to borrow another body?However, although she spent a very short time with the great monk, she can also see that this person is extremely suspicious. I am afraid that she has never used a maid. She used her before, but it was based on suspicion. Even if she borrowed another body, entered Fangwai Mountain without any flaws, and couldn't catch half of his fox fur.

What's more, being able to borrow this body is also a coincidence. How can there be so many coincidences in the world?
She couldn't think of any clever plan, so she simply gave up and went to see him directly.

The locks on the inn windows seemed to her to be non-existent, just a thin copper wire would open them, and she didn't even care about the enchantment of the fox clan.She had originally prepared for the great monk not to be at the inn, and also prepared for him to be sleeping, or eating, or any other situation, but she never expected that he was taking a bath.

His hair was still dripping with water, and his long eyelashes were also dripping with water, shaking and trembling.The two eyes under the eyelashes are as sharp as gods, the tails of the eyes are raised, and the complexion on the face is extremely fair, presumably because of wearing a fake face all the year round.Tan Yin suddenly understood why he had to wear a fake face. No matter who it is, no matter who it is, it will never be forgotten after one glance. The strong but cold style is enough to make people crazy about it.

Yuan Zhong stared at her fixedly at first, with astonishment in his eyes, but almost for a moment, his eyes became colder than ice, and there was a splash of water, and Tan Yin was dragged by him so that he staggered half lying on his back in the bath. The window closes silently behind the bucket.

His left hand was not gloved, and it was less than half a minute away from her neck. She could clearly feel the faint chill emanating from her fingertips. She calmly looked up at him without changing her expression.

"...What are you?" Yuan Zhong asked in a low voice, unceremoniously.

He didn't believe that a mortal could survive. She was shattered by the war ghost and frozen in his ice, but she could appear in front of him unscathed. Was she possessed by some monster?Or something else he didn't know about?

He has met monsters that cannot be killed. Those monsters in the 24th Cave of the Nanban, even if their heads are cut off and sliced ​​into pieces, they still cannot die.He has never seen a mortal who can't be killed, and he doesn't believe there will be one.Could it be that he was wrong, Ji Tanyin is not a mortal?But she really didn't have the slightest bit of demonic aura, and he didn't believe that he would be mistaken. He couldn't be more clear about the difference between human beings, demons and immortals.

Tan Yin thought for a long time before saying, "I'm Ji Tanyin."

Yuan Zhong showed a weird smile, followed by her whole body felt numb, the thick ice and snow almost sealed her up in the blink of an eye.She sighed secretly from the bottom of her heart, opened her mouth and blew lightly, the thick layer of ice and snow instantly turned into powder and fell to the ground with a rustle.

She looked at him quietly, and said softly: "I will not harm you." After thinking for a while, she added, "I will not harm the fox family either."

Yuan Zhong looked at her like a monster, without saying a word.

Only then did he realize that the girl in front of him seemed to be slightly different from before, but he couldn't tell the difference, the nose, eyes and mouth were still exactly the same, even the bun hadn't changed, but there was indeed something different.

In my memory, Ji Tanyin seems to be more like a mortal, with beautiful but lifeless eyes, calm but slightly green demeanor, she looks like a real 17-year-old girl.Now her eyes are too bright, and in the long memory, those black jewel-like eyes flashed past, and he himself felt ridiculous.

He took a step back, turned around, and the soap clothes hanging on the shelf flew towards him as if they had eyes, and automatically closed and attached to his body. When he turned around again, a bland mask had already changed on his face.

Tan Yin felt that she still wanted to say something. She thought that the great monk would kill her in a fit of rage, and that he would ask a lot of questions without hesitation, but he didn't say anything, and she didn't know what to do. up.

"That..." just as she opened her mouth, the great monk suddenly turned into a golden light and disappeared into the guest room in the blink of an eye.

...He actually ran away.

Yuan Zhong was riding on the back of the Bird of Paradise. He was already in a bad mood, but now he was in a bad mood. A series of questions and unknown fears locked him firmly.

He is confident that there is no immortal demon who cannot be killed, and even the famous war ghost will submit to his left hand, but why can't he kill Ji Tanyin?If he couldn't kill him, he had no choice but to leave. The great monk of the fox clan had never been in such a mess.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Tan Yin riding on the back of a strange-looking mechanism bird, following him from a distance.

Haunted!What is she and what is her origin? !

Yuan Zhong took out a jade chess piece from his bosom, which he had touched from Tanghua to play with. He aimed at the mechanism bird's chest. It's only strange that the bird guessed that some delicate mechanism in its body was broken, and it fell crookedly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that there was a cold sweat behind his back, and he smiled wryly, what happened tonight was extremely absurd, could it be that he was having some kind of nightmare?

A golden light shone not far ahead, and Yuan Zhong recognized at a glance that it was the enchantment of the Fox clan, which should be the place of the Juzihu clan.In this situation, he suddenly felt a sense of security that "he's finally home", and he couldn't help being amused for a while.
