The members of the Feng family never expected that they would hear such a sentence.
The world has been in turmoil for the past few years, and Luohuashan City can maintain such a lively and prosperous scene in the troubled times, all thanks to the protection of the Feng family.
Therefore, people in the mountain city are always respectful.
When demons come to us, especially our "Feng" sword, they will always show a look of fear, and they will either start their hands or run away.
Today, we really are once again.
The demon saw the word "Feng" and was indifferent to it. Zhang's first sentence was not to shout to kill, but to tell them to do it.
What a ghost!
The young woman was tongue-tied and almost didn't know how to answer. She was stunned for a moment, then stared at her almond-shaped eyes and said: "Where did you come from crawling in the filthy place... People, you are so arrogant!"
She could have been fierce, but the evil spirit, with an inexplicable sense of dignity, directed at the person, and it really wasn't too bad to say.
But it does not prevent our swords—
As soon as the demon threatened, the seven or eight brothers of the Feng family drew their long swords at the same time!
clang clang —
Hearing a few Jin Mings, the sword energy carried by those long swords has turned into a sharp edge, and they are coming straight to Wu Xingxue!
The next moment, the figure disappeared—the sword energy pierced through, but missed the demon, instead, it went straight to the couch behind it.
I only heard the sound of wooden pillars breaking one after another, and sawdust splashing randomly.
The shopkeeper at the table was startled, moved a few steps hastily, and leaned towards Brother Feng's family for safety.
Just after moving, I heard a heavy bang.
The originally good couch collapsed to the ground because all the pillars were cut off by the sword energy, and became a pile of waste wood.
Everyone in the Feng family was shocked.
"Where are people?!" They asked a question, but they heard the answer.
"Are you looking for me?"
The voice came from behind.
Everyone froze and turned back abruptly. The demon teleported into the crowd without knowing when.
Standing behind a hapless boy, pinching the boy's wrist, "forced" the opponent's horizontal sword inward, and the blade of the sword rested on the boy's own neck.
"You—" The brother's expression was tense, his face was pale and blue, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
He tried his best to compete with the hand that was pinching his wrist, but to no avail, he almost gritted his teeth.
Just listen to the demon's voice softly and slowly: "Someone won't let me make too much noise, then I can do nothing. In fact, it will be better to control the leader, but you leader is a girl, and it seems that you can't do it indiscriminately." I'm like a disciple, so I have no choice but to wrong you."
"..."
He spoke very seriously, but the brother almost vomited blood.
There is another meaning in everyone's ears: I can cure any of you, it just depends on who you pick.
The faces of the younger brothers sank due to the excitement, and they wanted to raise their swords again. Hearing a muffled groan, the imprisoned brother's sword edge was nearly a centimeter away, and a light mark was pressed on his throat.
"Don't move!" The young woman shouted again.
Everyone clenched the hilt of their swords tightly, not daring to move again.
The sword on the brother's neck also stopped and did not press down any more.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then moved a few steps silently, and moved back to the table.
The young woman stared at Jianfeng, and finally opened after a while: "When we entered the door, you said you were looking for someone?"
"right."
The young woman frowned, and looked at Wu Xingxue with a puzzled face. After a while, his eyes moved to the shopkeeper, and he said in a low voice: "What happened? Shouldn't it be the same as the previous disaster?"
The shopkeeper looked distressed: "It's one."
The young woman glanced at Wu Xingxue again, and then looked at the shopkeeper: "Then who are you looking for? Shouldn't the person who disappeared—"
The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again: "Don't say it, don't say it! Fairies and elders, just let me find it."
The young girl was still a little dissatisfied, and turned to stare at Wu Xingxue: "Since you are so capable, you can control whoever you want, and you look like we can't do anything to you, then you..."
Her eyes moved, as if she had found some flaw, and said: "Then why do you ask us to help? It's just to find someone, and you can do it yourself. Let me think about it... Could it be because there are restrictions on the body? There are injuries? Because It's already the end of the battle, so you're trying to bluff us with your prestige?"
We have often encountered bluffing demons, so the more we talk, the more reasonable we feel.
The disciples clenched their swords again, trying to find the flaws in Wu Xingxue's body, but they heard: "That's not true."
Looking at them with dark eyes, Mo said, "Because I only know how to kill people, and I can't do anything else."
Everyone: "..."
What Wu Xingxue said was true, but it sounded like a threat to him. And the threat was clear, and with those eyes, it really didn't look like a bluff.
The shopkeeper was watching wildly, but the Feng family brother was still in a stalemate.
Seeing Wu Xingxue frowned, showing a hint of impatience, the young woman said, "Okay, let's look for it."
She took out a few paper talismans with the family seal from her bosom, and didn't bother to ask the shopkeeper for a vermilion pen. She wiped the edge of the sword with her finger, and asked with blood, "Who is the name of the person you are looking for?"
When entering the store, the shopkeeper asked the visitors, and everyone was registered. Thinking back to the names and surnames of the two visitors when they entered the store for the first time, they were about to answer.
But Wu Xingxue said: "Xiao Fuxuan."
The shopkeeper shut his mouth: "?"
The younger brother of the Feng family opened his mouth: "???"
The shop was silent.
After a while, the shopkeeper trembled: "Huh?"
He said again: "You didn't report your name when you entered the shop... your name... isn't your name the name of that Tianxiu Shangxian..."
When he muttered softly, his expression was one of shock.
That's actually very normal, anyone who heard that Tianxiu Shangxian lived in his inn for two nights, I'm afraid it's Fanmo.
But at a certain moment, there was a flash of other "looks" in that shock, and it was fleeting, as if it had never been missed.
But Wu Xingxue saw it.
That's like... joy
But it seems that it is not to the extent of joy. Like a glazed bead that had been covered in dust for a long time, it suddenly lit up for a moment, gathering energy.
Wu Xingxue thought about it for a while, and felt that those eyes were somewhat familiar - just like the moment when Doctor Wu grabbed the hem of his robe and said "help me" when he was in Hua's house.
Could it be that the shopkeeper was also taken over by evil spirits and "revealed" his original soul the moment he heard "Tianxiu Shangxian"
No, it's not like, besides, he doesn't have any evil energy on his body.
what is that
Wu Xingxue thought.
Recalling what the shopkeeper said earlier, I suddenly found a very subtle problem——
The shopkeeper said that after the scholar and the book boy were in the shop, they remembered the advice of the people in the fairy gate, and felt that their inn was indeed like a disaster, and every inch of the ground was full of strangeness. So much so that I have nightmares and can't sleep at night.
So I asked Xianmen to help.
It didn't sound like much at first, but now that I think about it, it's a little strange.
I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I can't sleep at night, why not move the store and change the place? I would rather keep a horrible coffin in the store and raise a dead man who doesn't know if it will get out of control, but I never thought about changing the place.
why
Don't want to change? Still can't change
Are you reluctant to stay? Or for some reason, unable to leave a place
Wu Xingxue narrowed her eyes.
The shopkeeper just blinked, and felt a gust of cold wind sweeping from the back of his neck. Immediately afterwards, the hair-breaking blade reached the throat.
Wu Xingxue, who was still carrying Feng's younger brother, was behind him, as fast as a ghost.
Wu Xingxue asked in a low voice: "I'm afraid of Li, but I won't leave... Are you guarding something?"
One question is like marking a sealed bag.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up again, and his whole body shook, as if he had suddenly woken up from a long dream.
His eyelids fluttered and he opened his eyes, as if trying to say something, but he pursed his lips again and shook it with difficulty. It's like what I want to say, but I'm bound by something and can't say it, and I even have to deny it, expressing the opposite meaning.
The reaction was really weird, but it confirmed Wu Xingxue's guess.
I heard the shopkeeper babbling before, and thought it was because the other party was naturally rich. Whether the girl devours her biological father, or the young master devours the book boy, they can clearly explain it in a few words, but the shopkeeper wants to start with "the jade essence born in the backyard".
Thinking about it now, it's like trying my best to speak within the limits of what can be said, trying to make the listener understand the hidden meaning behind it-this place is unusual, but I can't leave.
Wu Xingxue asked again: "Are you guarding something, or a place?"
"Who made you guard?"
"and also… "
Will Xiao Fuxuan be there...
The shopkeeper tried his best to stretch again.
Perhaps in the past few years, I have told many people the same ramblings, but the people who heard it were either panicked or fearful, and no one thought about it.
Now, I finally met someone who asked a question, so I have to say one more sentence no matter what.
The shopkeeper asked Wu Xingxue in an extremely hoarse voice, "Do you know... why the place is called... Luohuatai..."
Wu Xingxue was startled, and a sentence flashed in his mind:
"Do you know why that place is called Fallen Flower Terrace?"
It was a long night in Xiandu.
Wu Xingxue, who was still the King of Ling, returned to sitting in the spring breeze after finishing her work, sent two chirping children, and brought a pot of fine jade spirits, and climbed up the high jade eaves of the Yao Palace.
There is white mist floating on the edge of the eaves, and one leg is leaning against it, as if sitting on the end of a cloud.
After drinking three glasses of wine, he felt a little lazy and sleepy, so he lay down on his back with his elbows pillowed on his head, and put on the mask he always wore.
It didn't take long to hear movement from Yuyan, as if another person had come up.
Footsteps came from the other end of the jade eaves and stopped beside him.
After a while, his mask was lifted a little. It wasn't lifted completely, only a corner was lifted from the chin.
Then, Xiao Fuxuan's voice rang in the night: "You drank my wine."
The upper half of Wu Xingxue's face was still covered by the mask, she didn't bother to move, and didn't open her eyes, so she replied in such a soft voice: "You are unreasonable, I have three pots of jade, and two pots are my own. Yes, the pot came from you, how do you know which pot I drank. "
Xiao Fuxuan replied, "I can smell it."
The night wind in Xiandu made people's ears itchy, and the mask was a bit noisy, Wu Xingxue squinted his eyes.
Sitting up, lifted the mask, and handed the wine jug to the person beside him: "Return it to you."
Xiao Fuxuan didn't answer, and said, "Return the whole pot to me next time."
Wu Xingxue glanced at it, and tapped on the jade eaves with her fingers. Then the two boys ran up from the house, stood under the eaves and raised their faces and shouted: "My lord, what's the matter?"
Wu Xingxue rushed to them and said, "Bring me another pot of jade, and Tianxiu asked me to return it."
The two boys with their sleeves tucked into their sleeves turned their eyes to look at Xiao Fuxuan, who was well-informed by the master of the family, and said: "Dangtang Tiansu, so angry."
Wu Xingxue smiled there with her legs propped up.
Xiao Fuxuan looked down at the two of them, and said flatly: "Be more aggressive, my south window will be emptied."
"..."
Tong was wronged, couldn't reply, and ran away.
Wu Xingxue insisted on pouring three cups for Xiao Fuxuan as well, thinking that half of the pot should be returned.
After Xiao Fuxuan finished drinking, Wu Xingxue pointed to a certain place in the human world under the fairy capital and said, "It seems that the Luohuatai is lit up, today is the third day of March?"
Xiao Fuxuan: "You mean the human calendar?"
Wu Xingxue said, "Well, it should be that the mountain city opens with lights on the third day of March, and it is very lively. I will go to see it occasionally."
Xiao Fuxuan looked at the faint lights under the guidance of King Ling, and he had some impressions there. He once entered the mountains inadvertently, but it was not the season, and he didn't go to the mountain city.
Wu Xingxue looked at it for a while and said, "Do you know why that place is called Luohuatai?"
Xiao Fuxuan turned to look: "...why?"
Wu Xingxue said: "A long time ago there was a sacred tree there, which was earlier than the Lingtai. The land where it grew was full of jade essences. When the flowers fell, it stretched for twelve miles, so it was called Luohuatai. Now there are some jade essences there. What remains."
Many gods have heard of the sacred tree, but they know very little. There are rumors that the sacred tree has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and there are also rumors that it is false. The only constant rumor is that after the Lingtai appeared, the Shenmu no longer existed, as if it had never appeared before.
People in the later world often wonder why a place with few flowers and trees and later known as a mountain city is called "Luohuatai".
Xiao Fuxuan glanced at Wu Xingxue and asked, "Then how did you know the origin of Luohuatai?"
Wu Xingxue said, "I was born there in the first place."
Because of the shopkeeper's words, Wu Xingxue remembered some bits and pieces about Luohuatai, and then thought of the newly born Yujing in the backyard of the shopkeeper's inn...
Immediately, he knew what Li was guarding, and also knew where Xiao Fuxuan was.
Perhaps the sacred tree didn't really cease to exist, but was sealed by the Lingtai Heavenly Dao for some reason.
I don't know how Xiao Fuxuan was taken in, I only know that if I want to go in now, I can only find the entry in the forbidden area.
Wu Xingxue raised her eyes abruptly, and asked the shopkeeper, "Where is the crack in the stone where your jade branches grow?"
Since Yujing followed the Shenmu, it would not be wrong to stare at the newborn jade branch.
The shopkeeper said dryly: "In the yard."
The courtyard of the inn is also built on the mountain, divided into three steps, forming a half-enclosed circle around the entire inn.
On the first level, a well and a pergola were set up, and mountains and rocks were built around it. On the other two steps, some trees of Duofuduoji were planted, and rocks were piled under the trees.
There are stones and slabs everywhere in the huge courtyard, and there are stone cracks everywhere.
It is necessary to find the exact location, after all, if the forbidden place is not to be noticed, the penetration will not be great.
Wu Xingxue swept around and asked the shopkeeper, "Which rock crack?"
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed to the left, Wu Xingxue glanced in the direction he was pointing, then simply turned around and walked away in a completely opposite direction.
Shopkeeper: "..."
Since it is a forbidden place, since the shopkeeper is restricted, he is not allowed to say anything. Then it must be a fake place.
Planting a fake place must be as far away from the real place as possible. So although the shopkeeper couldn't say it directly, Wu Xingxue could explain why.
After walking a certain distance, I asked the shopkeeper again.
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then pointed to the southeast.
I thought that the other party would "touch" towards the northwest, but when I returned to Wuxingxue, I believed it again. Unbiased, he walked towards the southeast point.
Shopkeeper: "..."
After several times, the shopkeeper failed, but Wu Xingxue was very precise.
In the end, he stood beside a very inconspicuous stone pile.
It is as if the courtyard wall is often damaged by wind and rain, so the peeling stones are piled up in a mess in the corner.
Wu Xingxue raised her hand to "touch" the cut-off wall, and then asked the Feng family brothers: "Everyone, will you create one out of thin air? The one that moves more."
The brothers of the Feng family looked at each other, they seemed to be in a daze under the shock of Xiao Fuxuan who disappeared, especially the leading girl.
She held a few soul-seeking talismans in her hand, and before she had time to write down Xiao Fuxuan's name, there was no need to use them.
After hearing Wu Xingxue's question, she was stunned for a while before she realized, "You can try it, but what if it doesn't work?"
Wu Xingxue looked at them and said, "Then I can only make the commotion as loud as possible."
Simply open and close, and affect the illusion until it is about to collapse, those relatively hard and stable places should be the most strange.
The more Wu Xingxue thought about it, the more he felt that the solution was feasible, so he decided to do it.
At that moment, the night in Gaomiao, Luohuashan City suddenly became dense and cloudy, with thunder and lightning, and even the half-collapsed courtyard wall began to vibrate violently, like teeth chattering uncontrollably in extreme cold.
Wu Xingxue's pale fingers were already curled up.
Just as he was about to rush forward with full energy, he felt a hand reaching out from the mountain mist and held it.
Startled: "Xiao Fuxuan?"
In the next moment, he curled up his tense fingers and relaxed them.
Thick fog hits his face—he was dragged into the forbidden area by Xiao Fuxuan.
