Ao Yu turned into a human again, and Fei Mastiff couldn't help staggering, struggling to get up, still holding the little fox in his arms.
Flying Mastiff's abdomen had been shot through, revealing a huge blood hole, when the exorcists chased him out, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Forget it..." Flying Mastiff continued intermittently, "Today... hit... doomed... can't escape..."
On the apse square, all the palace servants in the entire Daming Palace woke up and rushed out to watch. But the black mist that swept in from all directions covered the ground, spreading away like life.
"Hide everyone!" Li Jinglong shouted, "That's a monster!"
The courageous eunuchs and guards retreated to the corner, still unwilling to leave, watching from a distance.
The black mist continued to spread towards the flying mastiff, Li Jinglong whispered: "Is there a spell that can seal him?"
"No." Hong Jun panted, "I have to beat him to the ground... He hasn't shown his original shape yet. Maybe... stab it with your sword... try?"
This fellow is actually so resistant to fighting. Fortunately, I didn't chase after him that day, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be its opponent.
Li Jinglong shook his long sword and said, "You protect me."
It was very strange in the quiet square, only to hear Fei Mastiff chanting a few inaudible mantras in the diffuse black mist. The next moment, he looked up at the crowd and said in a low voice: "Even if it is death, I will die." …”
It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Hong Jun controlled the five-color divine light and stood in front of everyone!
In an instant, the flying mastiff exploded with a "bang", and the surrounding black mist turned into tens of thousands of black flames, shooting to every corner of the square. The person covered by the flames wailed and rolled all over the ground. It turned into a black rotten carp and rushed towards everyone!
The square was full of rotten carp, with sharp teeth, charging towards the five people. Hong Jun set up the five-color divine light to block it, not daring to kill these mutants, for fear that they would not be able to save them if they were injured. Li Jinglong yelled: "Take him!" Then he rushed towards the black flame in the center of the square with his sword.
Hong Jun propped up the five-color divine light, stepped sideways and slammed into Li Jinglong, opening the way for Li Jinglong. There were black turtles in all directions, with a rotten smell! Artest sent out whirlwinds one after another, and Mo Zhigen shot seven nail-headed arrows, but they couldn't kill them all. Qiu Yongsi looked around and shouted: "Don't come here! Don't come here! Hongjun! Where are you going!"
Everyone: "..."
Aoyu went forward one after another, Artest and Mo Zhigen roared at the same time.
Artest: "Qiu Yongsi!"
Mo Zhigen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Hurry up!"
Qiu Yongsi said with a smile: "You can do it, I am optimistic about the brothers..."
Before the words fell, Mo Rigen deliberately let a carp in, and hugged Qiu Yongsi with a "bang", at that moment Qiu Yongsi almost exploded, his usual chic and unrestrained demeanor disappeared, he hurriedly put his hand into his arms, but was caught by the carp The fish fell to the ground.
"Go away!" Qiu Yongsi roared.
The squid opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, sticking out its tongue with mucus, trying to wrap around Qiu Yongsi's neck. Qiu Yongsi's endurance finally broke through the lower limit, and he shouted: "Get out of here!"
Immediately after Qiu Yongsi waved a writing brush, Artest and Mo Zhigen were still in front of them to resist and go forward. The carp like a carp crossing the river suddenly felt the whole person floating.
"Ah!" Qiu Yongsi roared, "Get out of here! Get out!"
Everyone: "..."
The writing brush frantically poked in the air, and the squid that jumped at the front suddenly turned into a pool of ink, as if being pulled up by a huge force.
At that time, Artest and Mo Zhigen turned their heads together and looked at Qiu Yongsi. Qiu Yongsi was still in shock, holding a brush made of white marble, trembling uncontrollably.
"monster!"
Qiu Yongsi yelled wildly, and waved his pen again.
Mo Zhigen and Artaiqi stopped together, and with Qiu Yongsi's big stroke, the whole square suddenly turned into a landscape painting, and in an instant, all the carp turned into swimming ink marks, scrambling flew out. The sky and the earth were bright, and ripples rippled along the front of Qiu Yongsi's body, spreading continuously. The lacquered pillars, palace walls, and even the surrounding mountains in Daming Palace have all been turned into ink paintings!
The carp was rolled up by that strange force, and began to circle around the square. The extremely dangerous scene just before was turned into a picture of Baiao opera by Qiu Yongsi? ? !
Mo Zhigen roared angrily: "It's time for you to make a move!"
Artest was almost pissed off by Qiu Yongsi, and said angrily, "Why didn't you come up with the magic weapon sooner?!"
Qiu Yongsi couldn't help panting, his eyes were full of confusion.
"Wow, he made a move! He made a move! Look! What happened?!" Hong Jun felt that the whole world had changed, but he couldn't tell what was strange. The surrounding scenery was all distorted.
Li Jinglong shouted: "Don't look! Now, hurry up!"
"Wait, wait..." Hong Jun felt himself flying up, unable to step on the ground.
When Li Jinglong was about to stab the sword at the cloud of black air, he was also taken into the air. The ink landscape spread almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black air couldn't stop shaking and howling. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't control himself.
"Take your spell!" Li Jinglong shouted back.
"Stop playing!" Artest and Mo Zhigen yelled at Qiu Yongsi again.
"I'll make a move for a while! I'll stop for a while! What do you guys want to do?!" Qiu Yongsi's lungs were about to explode.
At this moment, the square has become a huge flat ink painting, and all the surrounding scenery has been sucked in, flattened, and become a part of the painting. Heihuo rushed left and right in the painting and wanted to escape. Qiu Yongsi grabbed the pen in front of the apse and shouted tremblingly: "I can't hold it anymore! The spell is withdrawn! Be careful!"
"Withdraw!" Li Jinglong shouted.
At this time, the flying mastiff shrouded in the black fire screamed wildly, exhausted its last strength, released the peeling scales, and the demonic aura shot out, breaking through the picture scroll. At the same time, Qiu Yongsi was shocked by the demonic power, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, was Take half a step back.
In the painting, the black air exploded and was torn apart. Hong Jun and Li Jinglong fell to the ground at the same time. Hong Jun raised his hand to wipe it, and the billowing black air was immediately blocked from the five-color divine light.
"Sword!" Hong Jun shouted.
Taking advantage of the falling momentum, Li Jinglong grabbed Hongjun with his left hand, and the two fell to the ground together. Li Jinglong drew out his sword within the five-color divine light, piercing the barrier of the five-color divine light brazenly, and amidst the roar, the sword edge pierced into the chest of the flying mastiff.
The wild barking of the flying mastiff stopped abruptly, and a burst of energy erupted on the ground, and the ashes and smoke disappeared, sweeping away the bricks and stones. As soon as the ink painting was broken, the black energy flew from all the swimming turtles, and the controlled people recovered their bodies. , hit the corner.
As soon as the flying mastiff died, it exploded into black air, and Li Jinglong and Hong Jun fell to the ground together. Li Jinglong instantly deflected the edge of the sword and held it with his hand, and the long sword flew out. He then turned around in mid-air, facing Hong Jun. Jun, his back hit the ground hard.
Li Jinglong snorted, and Hong Jun fell down again, hitting him with his whole body.
At this moment, Li Jinglong was like Zhao Zilong who was jumping around. With a "pop", Hong Jun hit the ground firmly, and his abdomen was hit by Hong Jun's knee. Suddenly, his blood surged, his whole body became limp, and he lay on the white marble floor.
The morning sun rose from the east, turned around the ridge, and cast towards Shenzhou. The rolling golden light shone and sprinkled into the Daming Palace. Hong Jun struggled to get up from Li Jinglong's arms, and couldn't help but shake him.
"Chang Shi! Chang Shi! Are you okay!"
Li Jinglong's whole body seemed to be stepped on by countless elephants, and he moaned: "My rib... is it broken? It seems to be injured internally..."
"I have medicine!" Hong Jun said hurriedly, "I guarantee you to take it as soon as you take it."
Li Jinglong: "..."
Artai, Mo Zhigen and Qiu Yongsi ran up, Hong Jun took Li Jinglong's hand and asked him to stand up straight with his shoulders.
The apse square is surrounded by unconscious palace people and guards. The Daming Palace was destroyed with an apse, a side hall, and a courtyard. Broken ceramic pieces and gilded objects were scattered all over the place. Seven pillars were broken, and three walls fell down.
There are countless remains of windows, doors, and glazed screens.
The sun shines on everyone, and the floor is full of jewels like a sea of gold.
"Chang Shi, what do you want to say?" Hong Jun looked up at Li Jinglong, feeling that something was wrong with his expression.
"I want to say..."
Li Jinglong took a deep breath and said in despair: "How much do you have to pay?!"
"how much-"
"Low money—"
"Money—"
"Ahhhh—"
The sound echoed among the mountains, accompanied by the rising sun, for a long time.
On a sunny autumn day, the carp demon was drying Hongjun's clothes in the yard. Every time it washed the clothes, the clothes smelled of mud and fish, but Hong Jun never disliked it. When I am away from home, I don’t know how good it is to have someone to help me with the laundry.
But the carp demon is a little mindful, mind that Hongjun is often laughed at behind his back, and also dislikes the fishy smell, it always insists on letting Hongjun be with new friends, what about himself? Just stay in the yard and look after the house.
Having said that, when the carp demon stayed, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, feeling that he was no longer needed. I can only comfort myself with the truth that "people always grow up".
"It's better to smoke some incense." The carp demon said to himself, "in case Hongjun is rejected again." So he hopped around looking for incense, and when he stopped on the road, he couldn't help sighing again.
Outside the courtyard, everyone is back.
Li Jinglong's face was almost dying.
"Put Chang Shi here." Hong Jun said.
The carp demon said, "You're back? How's your move?"
Everyone was lying in the front hall staggering here and there, Li Jinglong's expression was rather numb.
"Failed?" The carp demon felt a little joy in his heart, and said, "I knew I should go with you."
Hong Jun said: "The monster was destroyed, but the flying knife was not found."
The carp demon comforted a few words, and the flying knife can be found slowly, but Li Jinglong said: "Everyone has worked hard today, let's go and rest, and I will slowly find a way."
Everyone took turns to pat Li Jinglong's shoulder sympathetically, and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Li Jinglong held his forehead with one hand, and sat behind the case in a daze. The carp demon walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Leave me alone, let me be quiet..."
The carp demon closed the door, and before leaving, he said: "If there is any obstacle that cannot be overcome, just smell some Lihun pollen and it will be over. The new one has already been bought."
Li Jinglong asked with a wry smile, "How much?"
"It's still 3,200 taels." The carp demon replied, "A-Tai and the others told the boss, this time on credit, I will come back to get the money at the beginning of next month."
Li Jinglong: "..."
After being beaten like that in the Daming Palace, it is naturally impossible for Li Jinglong to run away after the beating or let people smell Lihun pollen, otherwise the guards will lose their heads.
But the demon is gone, and the ground is in a mess, plus the city gate and Hu Sheng's room that was destroyed in the Longwu Army... There must be an explanation, so he took a pen to draw a charge. The repairs by the Ministry of Industry and the emperor's questioning of crimes are all based on paintings and pledges, so just look to him for everything.
That's all, let's go to sleep first, Li Jinglong untied his dirty robe and threw it aside, lay down on the spot, and woke up to worry again.
All the doors were closed, and the exorcists were so exhausted that they fell asleep without breakfast. After the carp demon finished washing his clothes, he went back to the pond and lay down in a daze, staring at the white clouds in the sky. The sun was slanting westward, and no one got up at noon.
Until noon, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the door, and the sound of wheels continued, one by one, there were four or five cars parked outside the door.
The carp demon popped out a fish head vigilantly, opened and closed its mouth, thinking whether to wake up Li Jinglong,
"The Emperor Shengming Yingwu has arrived—"
The eunuch's voice was heard outside the door.
"The imperial concubine arrives—"
The carp demon suddenly remembered Feng Changqing's phrase "play and appreciate", and immediately ran out of the pond and hid in the grass under the wall.
"Prime Minister Right arrives—"
"Madame Qin arrived—"
"Mrs. Guo Guo arrived—"
In the entire Exorcist Division, all the doors were closed and they were still sleeping.
"Where is Shi Li Jinglong, the director of exorcism? Come out immediately to greet him—"
"It's okay, I'll go in and have a look..."
"Hey, this exorcist is so uniquely repaired..."
"Yeah? Sister, which Buddha is this?"
"This is called Fudoming King, Subduing Demons and Subduing Demons."
"It fits the occasion."
"Meow-"
"I heard that when Di Gong was still in Chang'an, he bought this small courtyard. It fell into disrepair for a long time, and he thought about sending some craftsmen to clean it up."
"Your Majesty, this is too much to worry about. The Li family used to be a prominent family. Although the family is in decline, you still understand how to enjoy it... Where is Li Jinglong? Li Jinglong?!"
Yang Guozhong, Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Qin, etc. stood in the courtyard, and the eunuch shouted: "Li Changshi! Your Majesty is here to see you!"
"Li Jinglong!" Li Longji suddenly got full of energy, and let out a "Roar of the Son of Heaven", which sounded like a bell, and everyone laughed together. Li Jinglong was so frightened that he rushed out of the main hall barefoot, wearing only shirts and underpants , standing under the patio, with disheveled hair, dumbfounded for a moment.
"Where are people?!" Yang Guozhong shouted, "Is there anyone in the Exorcism Division?"
"Who is so so?" Artest, dressed in silk pajamas and pajamas, ran out after him. Immediately afterwards, Hong Jun, Qiu Yongsi, Mo Zhigen, and everyone were barefoot, looking left and right.
Li Longji didn't recognize the casual clothes Li Longji was wearing today, but Li Jinglong didn't recognize him at first glance, but he recognized Yang Guozhong, and immediately felt a thump in his heart.
"Why are you all sleeping in broad daylight?" Li Longji laughed.
Everyone: "..."
Li Jinglong sighed in his heart, and could only say: "I went out to catch monsters last night, and I stayed up all night, because my discipline is not strict."
After finishing speaking, Li Jinglong knelt down on one knee, and Li Longji hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but it didn't matter. Seeing the four people standing behind him, he came over cheerfully and said, "You are all Jinglong's subordinates? What's your name?"
Everyone clasped their fists in their hands and answered, neither bowing nor saluting. At that time, the rules of the Tang Dynasty were more casual. It was not that they had to kneel when they saw the emperor, but none of them had official positions, and they were all grassroots. Yes, it's the first time I've seen you.
Yang Guozhong was about to reprimand, but Yang Yuhuan smiled and waved his hand gently, indicating that it's okay.
"Everyone helped my sister find Qing'er." Yang Yuhuan smiled gently, "I'm here to thank you all today. This Qing'er is her lifeline. I couldn't find it these days. I cried several times."
"Hey hey." Mrs. Qin hurriedly interrupted Yang Yuhuan's words, and Li Longji was overjoyed. When Yang Yuhuan spoke like this, the atmosphere became more lively.
It was the first time for Hong Jun to see the Son of Heaven under Ziweixing's care, and he was very curious, so he couldn't help but look at Li Longji's face. He saw that his appearance was energetic, quite royal and majestic, but he was very easy-going when he spoke. It's just that there is a faint shadow between the eyebrows.
Look at Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face, like a bright moon, reflecting the brilliance of the Exorcism Department. It's really looking forward to it. Behind the noble concubine, Mrs. Qin is a little less attractive, but she is also comparable to Xizi, soft and beautiful. And Mrs. Guo Guo standing behind is a little older, dignified and majestic, and serious.
Yang Guozhong was handsome and tall. Standing in front of Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong lowered his head, but Yang Guozhong was actually slightly taller than him.
"I'm here to thank you..." Yang Yuhuan said to herself with a smile, as if there were always many happy things.
"Thank you, Concubine Gui, for your kindness." Li Jinglong said hurriedly.
Yu Ren and Hong Jun had the same thoughts, and their eyes swept over this group of people unscrupulously, not letting go of every detail.
"Come." Yang Yuhuan opened a box with his own hands, filled with Hongjun's favorite pastries, and said, "The housekeeper said that there is a little gentleman who likes to eat, who is it?"
"So many people's fat and people's cream?!" Hong Jun cheered when he saw the crystal glutinous rice golden cake, "That's great!"
Li Longji: "..."
Yang Guozhong: "..."
Li Jinglong: "…………………"
"What?" Before Yang Yuhuan heard it clearly, Li Jinglong immediately said to Hongjun, "Don't thank you yet?!"
"Thank you!" Hong Jun was overjoyed, and took the box of pastries. There were three layers in it, and it was full.
Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Jinglong, then at Hongjun, then at Li Jinglong, and said with a smile: "Jinglong, His Majesty said he would give you something, but I'm saying that coaxing people for you is better than anything else, isn't it? ?”
Li Jinglong was speechless for a moment, and Li Longji patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's time to start a family."
Before Li Jinglong could react to this nonsensical sentence, Artest understood it first, and couldn't help being funny. Hong Jun looked blank, still immersed in the joy of the people. Little did he know that Mrs. Qin first listened to the steward's report, and learned that Li Jinglong had brought a young man over to return the cat, and that the young man liked to eat pastries from the house, so she relayed the report to Yang Yuhuan.
And these three sisters are naturally smart people, so they discussed a few words, first starting from the fact that Li Jinglong was not yet married, and then thinking that there was a young man by his side, and rewarding this thorn, naturally, it would be better to do what he liked and reward the young man with cakes. So he flicked his wrists, and there were still laughing and laughing discussions in the car when he came.
It was time for the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty to open up. Although Li Longji didn't like Duanxiu, since Yang Yuhuan said so, she could let her do it.
There were twists and turns, Li Jinglong observed the words and expressions, guessed a little, and immediately blushed to the ears with a handsome face. Yang Yuhuan smiled again: "Just kidding, Jinglong should still be rewarded."
So the eunuchs came over with trays, a total of twenty small silver ingots weighing two taels, forty taels of silver, plus ten pieces of dark blue satin brocade. Li Jinglong thanked Li Jinglong for the reward. Yang Guozhong pointed to Li Jinglong with a lot of meaning, and said nothing , Li Longji turned around, then turned and left.
"Come on, Qing'er, say goodbye to Li Changshi." Mrs. Qin grabbed the cat's paw and waved at Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong didn't hold it, or didn't hold it, but Hong Jun thought it was fun, so he came over to touch it The cat's head, the cat stretched out its paws and tilted towards Hongjun's body. It seemed that it was about to hug again. Li Jinglong was already complaining in his heart, so let's send him away quickly. What are you doing
Fortunately, Mrs. Qin just smiled and took the cat away, and got into the car with Li Longji, and everyone came out to see it off.
"The Son of Heaven set off to drive Lishan—" another preacher came from outside the door.
Hong Jun couldn't see it, the mighty outside was full of guards of honor, accompanied by the Longwu and Shenwu armies, he turned out of the alley and went to Huaqing Pool.
The rest of the people, who only wore shirts and white trousers, stood in the courtyard, and the carp demon ran out of the grass, and jumped into the pond with a "boom".
