Daozi

Chapter 77

Views:

The passage under the lotus of karmic fire is not wide. It is only the width of a normal man opening his arms. If three people walk in side by side, it will be crowded, and they have to be shoulder to shoulder. Liu Zhou prides himself on being an interesting demon. Although he has not had a company by his side for so many years, as the saying goes, "I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs run away." Going up and walking against Xie Xuanyang's shoulder would overturn a big vinegar altar.

He honestly waited for the two of them to enter before walking in behind them.

There is no light in the passage, just like the secret passage through which they first came to the private library, they can't see five fingers, but the difference is that the temperature around them slowly rises at a slow and imperceptible speed as the three go deeper, waiting for them to pay attention. By then, the cold air that had been entangled around them had completely disappeared, as if they were no longer under the ice sheet, but had stepped into another place where it was already spring.

Xie Xuanyang led the other two forward for a short distance, and his eyes suddenly flashed. The sudden light made his eyes sting, and he couldn't help but close them. When he got used to it and opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was not the imaginary inner room, but a city street.

Xie Xuanyang wanted to look up, the sky above their heads was blue, with some clouds floating over them, and the sun in the east, which had not yet reached the sky, hung in the sky, emitting a dazzling but not hot light.

Liu Zhou said in astonishment, "Isn't the private library in the inner room? Did we come out?"

Xie Xuanyang looked around with raised eyebrows. His intuition told him that they were still in the private vault, but the bustling market in front of them did not seem to be fake.

"This..." Just as he was about to say something, he was hit by a child holding a candied haws. The thick sugar coating wrapped around the candied haws touched his clothes, leaving a dark mark. The clothes Xie Xuanyang was wearing were originally light-colored, especially when they were stained with sugar.

When Xiaotong saw that he was in trouble, he sniffed at the sugar mark on Xie Xuanyang's body, his eyes were red, and tears suddenly overflowed, "Uh..."

Seeing this, Xie Xuanyang could no longer care whether it was true or false, and hurriedly squatted down to comfort him, "It's alright, don't cry, brother will buy you another one?"

But the more Xie Xuanyang said that, the redder the boy's eyes became. He glanced at Xie Xuanyang's face, swallowed a few times, and suddenly burst into tears, "Wow!"

The child was crying, Xie Xuanyang was helpless, and most of the people he came into contact with on weekdays were people who already had the ability to act on their own. Just a few glances. Xie Xuanyang really didn't know anything about how to soothe a crying toddler.

He looked at Qing Xiao for help. But how does Qingxiao know? Although Pop grew up beside him at the beginning, Pop never dared to cry in front of him, and no one told him how to appease young children.

Qing Xiao and Xie Xuanyang looked at each other for a few breaths, and finally squatted down and tried to recall the way mortals used to coax children in his memory before he entered the Dao, and gently rubbed the soft top of the child's hair. When Xiaotong saw Qingxiao, he stopped crying for a few breaths, looked at Qingxiao's expressionless face, and cried even more fiercely the next moment.

Liu Zhou couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw it, and said, "Haha, the two of you don't know such a trivial thing." Then he squatted down, squeezed in front of Xiaotong, covered his face with his hands, and suddenly opened it to reveal With an exaggerated grimace with a funny expression, he pulled the corners of his eyes with both hands and stuck out his tongue, "Slightly~"

There were tears in the boy's eyes, and the fleshy little hand suddenly stuck to Liu Zhou's face, and a slap slapped Liu Zhou's face crooked. He burst into tears and shouted, "Wow, mother! There are bad guys!"

Liu Zhou never thought that he was just trying to amuse the boy, so he was called a bad guy. Although he is a devil, although he has been doing the work of giving money and life all the year round, but other than that, he is a law-abiding Dongdu person wherever he goes. It is said that he goes out to have a cup of tea and a meal and pay honestly. Not a bad guy by any means.

He just wanted to explain to Xiaotong, but before he could say anything, someone pressed a sharp weapon against the lifeline on his neck. The three turned their heads and saw that Liu Zhou was holding a long handle and a spear.

"Good boy, dare to do something in my territory, you are not too timid." The man with the long gun hummed twice, his hand wrapped in black gloves suddenly grabbed Liu Zhou's hair behind him from behind, With a sharp pull, the person was directly lifted away.

The man picked up the child, skillfully coaxed him, and then took out a few copper coins to buy a new bunch of candied haws for him from a passing hawker. The child was coaxed into laughter, and happily ran away.

The man only had time to look at Liu Zhou's appearance and said, "Yo, it's still a raw face."

He looked at the other two again, and his eyes stayed on Xie Xuanyang's face for a moment. At this time, Liu Zhou was completely stunned, his muscles tensed, and his eyes stared at the man who was carrying him in disbelief.

The man in front of him had a resolute and handsome face, and a pair of seductive peach eyes looked amorous. I don't know how many men and women were fascinated by these eyes. There is also a tear mole under the corner of his left eye, which looks very familiar.

Liu Zhou's lips trembled, and after a while, he found his voice and said, "Demon, devil, devil..."

"What is the devil? Stop talking nonsense with me." The man said, "Even if you are a foreigner, I can't let you go. I can tell you that the jail time for kidnapping a child is as little as three years and as long as ten years. , you have to come with me even if you try to commit a crime."

When Liu Yiyi heard that there was going to be a prison disaster, he immediately woke up and couldn't care about anything else, and shouted, "Criminal? I'm a good citizen! I didn't kidnap!"

The man sneered twice and said, "Then what were you doing just now? You don't look like a good citizen just by looking at your fox face."

Liu Zhou said dissatisfiedly, "Where do I look like a fox?"

The old man of the man said in the tunnel, "Fox spirit. Who is a normal man who wears makeup like a woman under the eyes? Compared with these two, you can see that it is not a good thing when you dress up."

Liu Zhou was gasping for breath at this "fox spirit", and he said angrily, "I am a demon pattern, even if you are a demon, you can't frame me like that!"

The man rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, return the Demon Lord, don't read too much. Everyone in the Yun Empire knows that I am General Li of the Northwest, no matter what kind of demon sect on the rivers and lakes or what. There is nothing to do with ghosts or ghosts."

Liu Zhou wanted to say something, but Xie Xuanyang interrupted, "I'm afraid the general has misunderstood." He helped Liu Zhou to explain to the man.

The man suddenly said, "So it is. Sorry, sorry, I just blamed you wrongly."

Liu Zhou waved his hand and said, "It's okay." He muttered in his heart: Who made you a Demon Lord? No one will blame you.

Xie Xuanyang asked, "I just said that you are General Li of the Northwest? But the famous General Li Yishan?"

When the man heard it, he immediately touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "Hey, actually... it can't be said to be famous, it's just a few victories."

He glanced at Xie Xuanyang and saw that Xie Xuanyang was looking at him with a smile on his lips, he couldn't help but say, "This... can you stop looking at me like this? You and my sweetheart look alike, so embarrassed ."

When Qing Xiao heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he looked at Li Yishan with an unpleasant expression.

Xie Xuanyang had a deeper smile on his face and said, "Oh? Is it really similar?"

Li Yishan looked at Xie Xuanyang again and again, his eyes stopped on his eyes, and he paused, "Actually, it's not very similar to him... and some unfamiliar eyes..."

Xie Xuanyang thought: Of course it looks familiar, I look like you.

The moment Xie Xuanyang saw Li Yishan, he knew that they had stepped into an illusion. But this illusion is so realistic that every passerby seems to have an independent soul. This cannot be a simple illusion that is used as a trap. Instead, it may be a part of the treasure that belongs to this private library.

He thought so in his heart, but his face didn't show any signs. He replied, "If you have a chance, you must see him."

"There is a chance, there is a chance." Li Yishan said. As soon as he mentioned his sweetheart, Li Yishan was like all the hairy boys who fell in love, and he saw a lot less sharpness when they met. He couldn't help but asked slowly, "I don't know what the two priests are doing here? Feel free to say anything if you have any help. I, Li Yishan, can be considered in this Chang'an city."

As soon as Xie Xuanyang heard it, he knew that he was humble. Chang'an City was one of the jurisdictions of the Northwest Army, which was originally under Li Yishan's ascension to the throne. Here, the Northwest Army had a great deal of power to speak. Except for the emperor who was still on the throne at that time, it was not easy to speak even if the important officials in the court came to speak.

Li Yishan, who is already a general in the Northwest Army, has rights that are not as simple as words. However, Li Yishan's rights in this period were indeed not the greatest. The Northwest Army was the original body of the Tiance Army in the Eastern Capital. It was renamed when Li Yishan officially took office as the commander. Since it is still called Northwest at this time, then this Li Yishan is still just a general.

Xie Xuanyang did not answer Li Yishan's words, but instead asked, "Why did General Li call me two Taoist priests?"

Li Yishan said, "Well... my sweetheart is a Taoist priest, and I can always see that there are similarities to him in both of you... um... you both use swords."

As he said that, he put the long and gun around his elbow again, and gestured with his fingers a few times.

Xie Xuanyang smiled and said, "Then according to what you said, the swordsmen are all Taoist priests."

Li Yishan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, how is that possible? It may be a little offensive to say something. You two gave me a similar feeling to him, probably the so-called immortal style."

Xie Xuanyang thought to himself: I'm afraid it's not Xianfeng Daogu, but because Qing Xiao and I both practiced my father's swordsmanship.

But Xie Xuanyang can't say this, although this is in an illusion, no one knows what will happen if they show a relationship with Li Yishan or Xie Xuanyang. This kind of illusion is more like a small world that claims to be one place. If they easily break the rules and let the people who belong to the rules of the illusion realize their violation, I am afraid it will have a bad impact.

However, this kind of fantasy can exist and maintain the rule cycle in it. There must be a special place to maintain the fantasy, the eye. And this eye is usually the way out for outsiders.

Xie Xuanyang asked, "I wonder if General Li knows what famous places are in Chang'an City?"

Li Yishan patted his palms and smiled, "Ha! It turns out that a few of you are here to play! I understand. We have gone to many famous places in Chang'an City. If you don't dislike me, I will take a few to take a look."
