Chapter 21: Artifacts exist

Views:

A table of people bowed their heads and picked vegetables and grilled rice.

Yan Dan looked at the left, and the Taoist priest looked very dignified when eating. Looking at the right, Qin Qi was eating meat and eating big pieces of rice. Diagonally opposite, Tang Zhou's youngest junior brother Gan stood, looking pitifully at a stewed chicken leg in her bowl. Yan Dan picked up the chicken thigh with chopsticks, looked at him and asked, "You or? I'll give you this."

The Taoist priest coughed, and the little junior brother immediately shuddered, stood up straight, and said loudly, "Thank you girl, no need!"

The priest smiled with satisfaction.

Yan Dan has never seen Xu'er since the day they were separated, so she asked, "Where did Miss Xu'er go?" Liu Weiyang put down his chopsticks and replied kindly, "I didn't follow."

Qin Qi looked for the opportunity and hurriedly began to ask questions: "Liu Gongzi, how can you embed the chess piece into the stone at once? Why don't you teach me this trick too?"

Liu Weiyang didn't say anything, but the Taoist priest took it: "After decades of kung fu, do you still want to learn it one day?"

Yan Dan bit his chopsticks and thought, even if he has 20 years of kung fu, this Young Master Liu is only in his twenties, doesn't he look very young? I just heard the Taoist master say again: "You can't be a teacher until the fifty-eighth year of practicing martial arts. With your qualifications, it will take another sixty years at the earliest." Qin Qi could only whisper: "Master's lesson. Yes." Yan Dan was at a loss.

"Master, I heard some rumors that the ancient artifact has appeared in the world recently." Tang Zhou suddenly said.

The Taoist chief said: "There have been these rumors in recent years. Since it can be spread, it must also be the case." He turned to look at Liu Weiyang: "As far as I know, there are four ancient artifacts in total. , but so?"

Liu Weiyang nodded.

"One of the ancient artifacts is the Seven Lights Divine Jade, and the other is Chumo. I don't know which of the remaining two are my teachers." The Taoist priest glanced at his disciple, "Why are you asking this? These artifacts are not Mortal flesh and blood can touch it, let alone you can't find it, even if you find it, you can't touch it."

Yan Dan looked at the Taoist priest and said in her heart that the Seven Luminaries Divine Jade is already in your disciple's hands, and he must want the rest. As for the reason, she is also very curious.

Liu Weiyang said indifferently: "I have read in ancient books that the southwest was originally a closed place, and the Yi people were even more barbarians, but they didn't know where to learn witchcraft, and they could even open their eyes to the sky. I guess they must have been unintentional. Get the artifact."

Yan Dan nodded involuntarily. Shen Yijun is from the Yi ethnic group, and she does have the Seven Lights Divine Jade in her hand. If it is said that the Seven Lights Divine Jade was obtained after she left the Yi people, it means that there is probably another artifact among the Yi people; if the Seven Lights Divine Jade was brought out by her, it means that the Seven Lights Divine Jade is not suitable for the Yi people. It's not very important, in other words, there is a very high possibility that there will be a second artifact.

Qin Qi was not interested in the ancient artifacts, but just stared at Liu Weiyang with fiery eyes: "Master Liu, how many years have you practiced kung fu? Even if my aptitude is dull, I will practice like you."

Liu Weiyang thought for a while, then said slowly, "Five or sixty years."

Yan Dan was stunned: Why hasn't his hair been bald, his teeth haven't loosened, and his skin hasn't wrinkled yet

She was hit hard and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Liu, this year... Guigeng?"

Tang Zhou glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

Liu Weiyang finally looked at her, and with a flick of his slender and powerful fingers, a pair of chopsticks snapped and broke.

Yan Dan immediately said: "I just asked casually, you don't need to tell me, really..."

It was much colder on the mountain after nightfall. Yan Dan listened to Qin Qi's breathing becoming heavy, rolled over from the bed opposite, and pushed open the door to go out.

The crescent moon above his head was bright, Yan Dan circled around the patio and found a stone with a sharp protrusion, so he squatted beside him and continued to grind his hand. She grinded it for a while, and suddenly heard a slight rustling sound not far away, she quickly leaned against the tree shadow and didn't move, and then a figure passed in front of her. She used the moonlight to see that the person should be a woman, with a beautiful figure and wearing night clothes.

Yan Dan raised his hand to his chin, secretly feeling that this person's back looked a bit familiar. She didn't come into contact with many mortals, and she could even count them with two hands. I saw that the woman suddenly stopped a dozen paces away, as if waiting for someone.

Yan Dan slowly moved forward two steps, hiding behind a big tree, and in the shade, as long as there was no sound, he would not be discovered. She did not hide for a long time, only to feel the breeze blowing behind her, her waist was numb at first, and she couldn't move. She felt the cool fingers touch her neck again, and her eyelids started to get heavy.

When she was in a daze, she could only smell a faint smell of sandalwood. She tried desperately to stay awake, but she became more and more sleepy. Before she completely lost consciousness, she only heard a frosty voice saying: "...why kill..." She thought resentfully, why is she always so unlucky recently

When Yan Dan woke up, he found that he was still alive and well without any injuries. She wanted to sit up, but she couldn't move a finger. She wanted to call someone, but she found that she had been tapped and couldn't make a sound at all.

An unknown bug was crawling majestically over her arm. There were also barbs on the bug's legs, and when she crawled over her wrists that were exposed outside her sleeves, she couldn't help but stand upright. The worm crawled away, and another toad came, jumping, jumping, and jumping into the range of her sight. She looked at the wrinkled-skinned, bulging-eyed toad for a moment, and the toad finally jumped backwards. After a while, the sizzling sound was getting closer and closer, and Yan Dan only felt that his heart was cold. Even through his clothes, he could still feel something sticky, greasy, and cold. Wrapped up slowly.

She had asked Tang Zhou if there were many birds, beasts, insects and snakes on the mountain before, but she didn't expect it to be like this...

There was a sudden cold on her neck, and the feeling of slowly squirming and rubbing small scales gave her goosebumps all over her body. She saw a thin, colorful snake with a triangular head crouching by her neck, slowly raising her body, opening her mouth wide to reveal the three fangs inside.

Yan Dan's eyes were sore, but she didn't even dare to blink. Now the snake was still waiting for an opportunity. If she closed her eyes, it would bite down immediately. She is no different from mortals now, and if she is bitten, she will definitely die on the spot.

The snake's body stood upright, slowly twisting under the moon, the tip of the tongue was swallowing and hissing. Yan Dan had already scolded Tang Zhou seventeen or eight times in her heart, and finally she couldn't help closing her sore eyes, only to hear a whistle, a cold sword light brushed from the tip of her nose and chopped the poisonous snake into pieces. two paragraphs. The strength of the sword was so strong that it slid forward several feet without losing momentum, and finally nailed it in the sand.

Yan Dan's eyes widened, and she watched Tang Zhou walk to her side in shock, put the sword back into the scabbard, and then helped her sit up. Seeing that she didn't speak, Tang Zhou asked, "You've been tapped for a dumb acupuncture point?" Yan Dan blinked and looked at him. Tang Zhou immediately untied her dumb acupoint and asked, "Do you remember where the acupuncture point was?"

Yan Dan said quietly: "You almost cut my nose just now..."

Tang Zhou said with relief: "I've always been accurate in my shots."

"I remember that it seemed that I was numb in the waist and couldn't move." Yan Dan thought back, "But I only know the approximate location."

Tang Zhou didn't say a word, put her head on his shoulder, stretched out his hand behind her waist and pushed the palace through the blood a few times. Yan Dan only felt that his body loosened, but he could move. She raised her sleeves and wiped her neck, showing a disgusting expression: "I have never been crawled by a snake in my life." When she said this, she naturally attributed everything to Tang Zhou: "All It's you! I was chased away by mortals, and I was worried that your master could see through my identity. Anyone could knock me down. If that person killed me, I wouldn't even see who the enemy was. Now Even better, even a snake crawled on my head!"

Yan Dan took a breath and looked at him resentfully: "Since I met you, I've been unlucky all the time, let alone this life, even in the next life, I don't want to see you again!"

Tang Zhou slowly raised his hand, pressed it on her back, and said in a low voice, "Why do you hate me so much..." He gently squeezed her wrist, only to see a gleam of light flashing, that prohibition It suddenly split in two and fell to the ground.

Yan Dan looked at the empty wrist, and couldn't believe it.

"If you want to leave now, no one can stop you."

When Yan Dan heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment, motionless.

Tang Zhou turned around, took a few steps slowly, and looked back at her in the darkness: "Maybe we can meet again when I find those four artifacts."

The patriarch of their flower essence family used his long life experience to come to a conclusion: the strong curiosity that flower essences have all stems from the fact that they have been rooted in the same place for hundreds of years.

Yan Dan originally thought that he was an exception, but now it seems that he is still not exempt.

She stood there, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have to find those ancient artifacts? Your master is right, these immortal powers are indeed not something that human flesh and blood can touch."

Tang Zhou smiled slightly: "I always have a dream. In my dream, I was in a completely unfamiliar place, where there was nothing but white fog. I seemed to want to chase the person in front of me, in the sea of clouds. I kept running, and every time I was about to catch up, that person would suddenly disappear. I heard a voice saying to me, if I want to know all this, I must get one of the Four Ancient Artifacts."

"The artifact you are looking for must not be the Seven Luminaries Divine Jade, right?"

"That artifact is called Dizhi."

Yan Dan sighed: "As far as I know, the Four Ancient Artifacts were preserved after the creation of the world by the Pangu clan, and belonged to Emperor Jiuchen. Later, in the battle between heaven and the demons, they were all left in the mortal world. You have now found the Seven Lights. , and Chumo, Lichen, and Dizhi, you may not be able to find the second one in your whole life."

"...I don't know. I just feel vaguely that that person is very important. You said last time that the memory of the previous life will be sealed up. I think this is the memory of a long time ago. Even after a thousand years, I have nothing. I remember, but I only remember that person's back." Tang Zhou's eyes were gentle, and he said softly, "I just want to see her again. At least, when I look back in the future, I don't just remember a back."

Yan Dan only felt that his heart was full of enthusiasm, and he didn't have time to think about what he said: "In this case, I will accompany you to find Dizhi. In fact, I have nothing special to do, and I know more than you. , maybe there is something that can help you!"

Tang Zhou smiled: "Thank you." Then he turned and left.

After Yan Dan finished his rhetoric, the rare sense of justice that burned from head to toe has disappeared, and he can only squat on the ground listlessly, holding his head and muttering to himself: "How could I say such a thing? ... I've already escaped, and I'm still jumping into the cage, am I really a complete idiot? No way..."

She held her head and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the bloody words that Shen Yijun wrote before he died:

... kill my life, and I will kill him for the rest of his life.

"Then Palace Master Shenxiao is also looking for ancient artifacts, and even Yu Mo said that he and Zilin combined are less than one Palace Master Shenxiao," Yan Dan has collapsed, "Am I doing something stupid now? I think I'd better run away overnight. Maybe I lost my life for no reason without even seeing the artifact. It's too obvious that I won't make any money... Anyway, I always take my oath as a meal and break my promise. Who cares about such a thing?"

She stood up slowly, and just took a step, and the words "I just want to see her again. At least, when I look back in the future, I don't just remember a back", and the next step is no matter what Can't go down. These words just stabbed her in the dead end. With this kind of obsession, she doesn't know what will become in the end. It's like a moth to a fire, even if it is destroyed in the next moment, it doesn't matter.

Yan Dan returned to the room in a low mood, Qin Qi still slept soundly, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. For a while, she thought of Palace Master Shenxiao, then guessed who the somewhat familiar back she had seen before, and then thought about the identity of the mysterious person who tapped her acupuncture point, and she was so confused, half asleep , When I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright.
