Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 6

[Chapter 6]

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, this monster was really unusual. Lin Chengyou was Qing Xuzi’s disciple and grandson, and he was expected to have some real skills, but instead of being able to catch the monster, he was injured first.

Looking further into the courtyard, I saw a white-haired old woman sitting cross-legged in the formation, surrounded by mist, the old woman raised her arms high and chanted words, as if casting a spell.

There were also two chubby little Daoists sitting in the array, and they were also disciples of Qingyun Temple.

It seemed that only the fake Mrs. Anguo could not be seen. Teng Yuyi felt strange, and when she glanced over, she realized that the old woman was missing her right hand.

She felt a “thump” in her heart. It turned out that this old woman was the monster in the forest whose claw was cut off by her. She used to wear the beauty skin of Mrs. Anguo, but now she looks like this.

This is its true face, right? Teng Yuyi nervously touched the small jade sword in the sleeve cage, Lin Chengyou suffered a big loss, wondering if he could still control this monster.

Lin Chengyou lowered his head and coughed, obviously badly injured, the gold embroidered robe was stained with blood, and he couldn’t stand up for a long time.

The guards had never seen their little master in such an embarrassed state, and all drew out their sabres: “Sir.”

Lin Chengyou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: “Idiot, don’t hurry up.”

His fingertips lit up with silver light, and he raised his hand. With a wave, the talisman paper shot away, falling to the ground and turning into waves of fire.

Just at this moment, there was a rustling sound from the ground, the old demon still didn’t open his eyes, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The guards stopped abruptly, no wonder the prince was so angry, looking at the appearance of this old woman, he wished that they would break into the formation, so he did not dare to do it again, and hurriedly turned around to escort everyone: “Get out of here quickly. ”

Teng Yuyi supported her aunt and took the lead in fleeing. When she was in Yangzhou before, she had seen an expert from the Fulu faction do a ritual ceremony, which was quite particular, and outsiders were not allowed to approach it at will.

The Jadeite Sword is something that could come, and she has not yet found out the details of this sword. Even if she is lucky enough to cut off the monster’s claw in the forest, it is under the premise that the monster is defenseless. Now the old monster is wary. Rushing forward is just to die.

The guards opened the way, and the group was about to rush down the steps when a burst of noise came from the ground. At first, the sound was not terrifying, but gradually the sound became higher, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. out.

In an instant, Lanxia Pavilion was reduced to Asura Hell.

Everyone was horrified, their feet stuck on the steps, neither dared to go forward, nor reconciled to retreat down the corridor.

The guards are all as strong as leopards, but after all, they have never dealt with Xie Ren, and with the weapons in their hands, they don’t know how to deal with these evil spirits from the underworld.

Fortunately, Lin Chengyou buried a circle of talismans in advance, and the evil thing was burned into a pile of black ashes as soon as it emerged from the ground.

It’s just that this time the number of evil spirits is astonishing, and it can be called a parallel of evil spirits. Even if Lin Chengyou is as fast as a meteor, there are still many fish that slip through the net.

Once the evil creatures stood out from the encirclement, their bodies changed instantly, either turning into ghosts or being several times bigger.

Among the evil creatures, there was a headless monster covered in pitch black who was closest to the porch, and when it found someone behind it, it swayed its body and turned its head, took slanted steps, and ran towards them.

This thing has no head, but is tall, and every time it takes a step, the ground makes a deafening sound.

No one has ever seen such a scene before. The lady in charge of the Dongxian Ling family hugged the pillar and screamed in surprise. Teng Yuyi pulled out her jade sword and hurriedly guarded Mrs. Du behind her. Before the thing got close, it was bound by a chain thrown by Lin Chengyou.

Jusha first fell to the ground with a bang, and then was dragged back into the formation by the chain. It waved its arms to grab Lin Chengyou, but before it touched the corner of his robe, Lin Chengyou tightened the chain in his hand expressionlessly, only one mistake. Eyes, Jusha turned into a pile of black powder under his feet.

Everyone was shocked, and Lin Chengyou looked up while he was busy, his sharp eyes swept away slightly, and fell on Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi was busy taking care of her cousin’s cage, but she felt that it was very unusual. If she was not mistaken, Lin Chengyou and the three who were fighting against the monsters ignored them and objected that they were more interested. Lin Chengyou’s eyes were also quite meaningful, like There was something odd about her.

Lin Chengyou was injured because of his injury, his face was a little pale, and his peach blossom eyes were cold and cold, which made his black hair like ink, his eyes were scrutinized, and he seemed a little puzzled. Xie Neng rushed in front of him, he turned around and split it in half.

At this moment, the guard saw that the doorway was coming. Although these evil creatures were fierce, they could not get close to Xiao Langjun. Another group of monsters wanted to flee and were trapped in the formation. The prince was injured and could not warn loudly, but There was already a way for them to escape.

“Let’s go.” Before the old woman could move, the guards led everyone down the steps, leading the injured out first, and then going to rescue the soldiers.

Teng Yuyi supported Madam Du and ran, occasionally observing the situation in the courtyard.

The evil creatures are wrapped in a mist like a black gauze. As long as they get out of the ground, the black mist will be pulled away from them, and the clouds will gather in the mist, curling like smoke, and drill into the old woman’s nostrils and ears in turn.

The old woman sat upright in the array, and her face brightened every time she inhaled a wisp of black mist.

When it absorbs enough, I don’t know what changes will occur. Teng Yuyi was secretly speculating that Mrs. Du Qiqi, who was beside her, ran too fast and accidentally stumbled on the corner of her skirt.

“Yu’er.”

“Aunt.” Teng Yuyi hurriedly supported Mrs. Du, and when she raised her eyes inadvertently, she saw that the old woman opened her eyes at some point, her pupils seemed to be dyed with a dull blue, and the two gloomy eyes seemed to be stained with dark blue. His gaze was directed towards her.

Teng Yuyi squinted, there were so many people in the yard, this old demon stared at her without looking at others, so it could be seen that he had been paying attention to her actions.

Want to avenge that sword in the forest, or do you have other ideas? If this old demon is allowed to escape, I am afraid that the first one will find her to settle accounts.

***

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi have just turned nine years old, and their hearts are still very immature. Seeing the endless emergence of evil things, they become increasingly anxious.

The reason why the senior brother set up the Wuzang Formation is because five wounded people lost their minds. This formation method can not only trap the old demon in the formation, but also regain the five spirits of the wounded.

But since the tree demon can attract souls and charms in the Panluo Golden Net, it has clearly become a demon.

The Wuzang Array can’t help it, and it will be a matter of time before it breaks out.

The senior brother must now regret not taking a close look at the situation of the injured. The statement “five people are in a coma” is obviously wrong. From the moment the senior brother decided to set up the Wuzang Formation, he was destined to be at a disadvantage.

The three brothers and sisters have been pitted so badly. In this situation, there is no way to investigate who lied. If they don’t break the game as soon as possible, no one will want to leave.

There was a thick foul smell in the formation, and the ears were filled with the screams of ghosts and ghosts. These are not illusions, but evil spirits coming from a radius of hundreds of miles. As long as you are touched by these things, you will be bitten off a layer of skin if you don’t die. .

The two were in a turmoil, and suddenly they heard something flying in the sky. The evil creatures were about to bite the fat and round arm of Jue Sheng, and they were suddenly thrown far away by an invisible wall.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi hurriedly opened their eyes and saw Lin Chengyou inserting his altar wood between the Kun Palace and the Li Palace.

The 姤 hexagram and the fu hexagram thus run through a line, forming a “broken shackle”.

“Senior brother.” The hearts of the two sank suddenly. Zhentanmu is something that protects life. If the brother gave it to them, wouldn’t he have no protection at all.

“There is a golden net in the sky above the yard. The evil creatures can’t escape if they want to escape. The ‘Baosha Knot’ can protect you for a stick of incense. As long as you don’t mess around, the old demon will neither dare to approach nor escape. Array. The Moon Lamp Pavilion offers a Nine Heavens Profound Sword, I will go back when I go.”

Moon Lamp Pavilion offers a Nine Heavens Profound Sword? Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a while. They had never heard of this sword in the past few years by their master’s side, but the elder brother’s tone was serious and he didn’t seem to be talking nonsense.

The old demon was busy absorbing the suffocating energy in the formation, and laughed coldly: “Lin Chengyou, if you want to run away, run away, why bother making up nonsense to deceive your younger brother, you are so anxious to leave, do you know that you are afraid?”

Lin Chengyou opened up One way of life, he jumped out of the formation amid the screams and screams: “Forget it, I can’t beat you, can’t you go and move a rescuer?” The old

demon spat: “Why pretend! The Moon Lamp Pavilion is adjacent to the Ziyun Tower. If you really want to get that Lao Shizi Jiutian Xuanjian, you can just send the servants around you, why do you need to get it yourself?”

Lin Chengyou said, “You don’t understand this, the Jian Chenfeng hasn’t been activated for ten years, even if you let me know. They don’t know how to use it. The Nine Heavens Profound Sword is my Taoist treasure, and I can’t afford to miss it. When I get it myself, it’s just right to use it.”

The old demon once took Mrs. Anguo’s skin, Naturally, he also grabbed the memory of the original body: “I often hear people say that the prince has a stubborn temperament, and he has never put rules and regulations in his eyes since he was a child. If you know that such a sword is enshrined in the Moonlight Pavilion, how can you allow it to be put on the shelf? What are you talking about ’10 years in dust’, but just trying to find an excuse to get away.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi are full of doubts, it sounds reasonable.

In the past few years, they have heard of many things about the brothers when they were young. The brothers were not afraid of the sky, and they often made the king and his wife angry. The children of the princes in Chang’an were the ones who were beaten the most times.

With the temperament of the senior brother, if he knew that the treasure of his family was hidden in the Moon Lantern Pavilion, he would have thought of a way to get it out and play with it.

Lin Chengyou said solemnly: “The consecration of Taoist instruments also depends on chance. Unlike ordinary instruments, the Nine Heavens Profound Sword needs to be drawn from the flesh and blood of monsters. Although I am curious about this sword, I dare not open the seal rashly. I bumped into you tonight. The monster that I have is exactly what I want, I feed the sword with the demon blood that I have cultivated for many years, and it is worthwhile for the sword to wait in the Moonlight Pavilion for ten years.” The

old woman sneered: “What nonsense! What do you do not enshrine in the Qingyun Temple, but put it in the Moon Lamp Pavilion, which has nothing to do with Taoism?”

Lin Chengyou’s smile slowly faded, and the old woman thought she had debunked Lin Chengyou’s lie, and smiled proudly.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi looked at Lin Chengyou worriedly, the senior brother’s voice was hoarse and his footsteps were vain.

But the senior brother has always planned everything, how could he let the evil things see the flaws so quickly.

They peeked at the old demon. It used to have a fluffy head and teeth. In a short period of time, it showed signs of rejuvenation. The sparse white hair became thick, and the sunken cheeks gradually became plump. Just listening to its crisp laughter, they would mistakenly think that It is only 28 years old.

Looking up at the sky, under the gloomy sky, the stars seem to be dyed with a dark luster. This celestial phenomenon is really strange. It is either a catastrophe or a great evil.

Beads of sweat rolled down from their foreheads, and when the old demon had sucked in enough suffocation, it was estimated that everyone would suffer.

Wait, why is my brother’s steps a little weird? He took three steps to the east and then retreated to the west. He said he wanted to go, but he stayed in front of the battle.

A white light flashed in Jue Sheng and Jizhi’s mind, Senior Brother this is—

they were both nervous and excited, staring at Lin Chengyou’s pace, not daring to move.

Lin Chengyou staggered a few steps, looked over calmly, Jue Sheng and Qizhi nodded slightly, Lin Chengyou barely stabilized his figure, jumped back with breath, and landed on the eaves.

He stepped on the tile, smiled and walked forward with his hands behind his back: “You have cultivated for hundreds of years, you only know how to work hard on your skin, but you are not willing to cultivate your brain. The Moon Lamp Pavilion is a place where saints feast and sages, and they are listed every year. At that time, the aura of Confucianism made heaven and earth clear.

“Although this sword is a Taoist thing, it was born with sinister and bloodthirsty, and using ordinary Taoist methods to suppress it would only be counterproductive. , or to cleanse the anger. My master enshrined the Nine Heavens Profound Sword in the Moon Lamp Pavilion, precisely because it was a Confucian holy place. He said it in a prudent manner. The

old demon’s slender eyes flashed with dim light, and he finally couldn’t sit still.

Tonight is the day when she became a demon. As long as she meets her son, everything will come naturally. I don’t know that this kid Lin Chengyou suddenly appeared . Come on, I have repeatedly missed her important events.

She is about to become a demon, and the flesh and blood on her body is comparable to that of a unicorn and phoenix marrow. To attract a group of evil spirits to deal with Lin Chengyou, she must use herself as a bait, so she resolutely stabbed her next finger, knowing that she would damage her body.

From the moment she stabbed her severed finger into the soil, it attracted a large number of coveted evil spirits.

On the one hand, she lured all the evil spirits to trap Lin Chengyou, and on the other hand, she used Lin Chengyou to contain the group of evil spirits.

The more she learns, the faster her skill rises, and she doesn’t need to wait until the child’s hour. The huge evil spirits from these plunders are enough to help her become a demon ahead of time.

There is still some heat to go, so he must not leave the battle at such a critical juncture, but Lin Chengyou is full of scheming and does not look like a Taoist, so he can lie. , may really be able to turn around.

Do you want to stop him? In her heart, she couldn’t bear it. Under the silver-white moonlight, the purple-clothed youth stepped on the blue glazed tiles, and the robes swept out of the courtyard like the wind.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi secretly paid attention to the expression of the old demon, because they were not sure about her reaction, so they didn’t dare to let out the air.

I don’t know how long it took, but the old demon suddenly hummed and laughed: “I advise you to be less troublesome, let alone a broken sword, even if you invite your master, it won’t help me. Why don’t we make a bet, you set How long can the ‘Baoshajie’ stop me? Before you come back, can I eat both of your little brothers in my stomach?”

Jue Sheng and Qizhi’s scalps exploded, this monster not only refused to be fooled , and in turn used them to blackmail senior brother.

Lin Chengyou’s laughter drifted from afar: “The one on the right is called Qizhi, who likes to bathe and cleanse his body on weekdays. If you don’t dislike it, you might as well eat him first.” The

old demon was stunned.

The two little Daoists covered their mouths and cried.

At this time, everyone had rushed to the gate of the courtyard. Madam Du ran the slowest because of her age, so Teng Yuyi also fell behind. Hearing Lin Chengyou’s words, she stumbled.

Lin Chengyou was clearly playing tricks on the mystery. If there was a Jiutian Xuanjian, how could he have been crawling with that old demon for so long. It’s a pity that no matter how Lin Chengyou provokes him with words, the old demon just refuses to play.

She turned her head to look at the courtyard, where all the evil spirits were trapped by the golden net above the courtyard, and they rammed in the array like headless flies. Blowing through, the scorched branches and leaves turned into brilliant colors.

The old demon was sitting in the sea of colorful flowers, and his stature was much taller.

Teng Yuyi was horrified. He had never seen such a strange scene before, and if he couldn’t think of a countermeasure, there would be a huge disaster.

She had a plan in her mind and whispered, “Auntie, wait a minute.”

Then she raised her voice: “Sir Lin, I have a magical weapon called the Jade Sword, which was attacked by an old demon in the forest earlier. I used this sword to cut off the old demon’s right claw, if the prince doesn’t dislike it, you might as well use it.”

She said this specifically to the old demon, this sword is quite strange, and it is not necessarily willing to be driven by Lin Chengyou , Lin Chengyou’s eyes are empty, and he may not be willing to use other people’s magic tools, but as long as he lifts his lost right paw, he will definitely stab the old demon’s heart.

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt two cold, bitter and malicious gazes cast towards her, Teng Yuyi smiled slightly, and continued, “Don’t look at this monster, it won’t work if you encounter this sword. It’s a big piece, and if you cut it, it’s a big piece…”

She smiled and spoke very slowly, the anger in the eyes of the old demon burst out, as if she wished she could burn a hole in Teng Yuyi’s clothes.

In the middle of the night, there was a sound of tiles on the wall, Lin Chengyou was really smart, and he was immediately amused: “How could there be such a good thing? If it’s convenient for the little lady, throw it with me and see.”

Teng Yuyi put on the scabbard and threw it on the beam of the house. Lin Chengyou took it into his hand. It turned out to be a three-inch long sword. It

was bright blue in the moonlight. The blade was as thin as a blade.

He has seen countless silk-colored pearls, but this is the first time he has seen a sword made of jadeite.

However, before he could take a closer look, the light on the sword was no longer translucent, like a layer of gray fog, and slowly turned dim.

He quietly blocked the old demon’s sight with his robe sleeves. Unfortunately, it was actually a magic weapon to recognize the master. It was no different from an ordinary jade item without the master. Not only could it not hurt the old demon, it would also be damaged Sword body.

He raised his eyes to see the girl wearing a power fence in the courtyard, standing in a pavilion in the night, without the slightest panic. He had seen Teng Shao several times, a famous general who guarded the border and defended the country. This sword was so good, most of it was given to his daughter by Teng Shao for self-defense.

But this little lady didn’t seem to know martial arts. Even if she handed the sword back to her, she would never even get close to the monster with her skills.

He changed his mind instantly, nodded with a smile, and said, “Good sword, good sword. The Moon Lantern Pavilion is too far away, and the little lady’s move is like sending charcoal in the snow. I have caught a lot of monsters, but I have never eaten monster meat. Cut it into glutinous rice, just for drinking.”

Then he pointed to several guards at the door: “Go ahead and get some glutinous rice soup, and then take a few pots of pine mashed spring.”

This posture does not seem to be catching a demon , it is like raising wine and arranging meals in the garden of the palace. Although the guards are up and down in their hearts, they do not dare to disobey the orders of the little master. Arrange in a hurry.

Teng Yuyi said: “When the prince starts, don’t forget to leave its left paw to me.”

Lin Chengyou raised his chin: “Do you want to drink it too?”

Teng Yuyi shook his head: “I got it earlier. Right paw, I want to make a pair. It has rough skin and thick meat, and it is extremely difficult to chew. I plan to marinate it in an urn for a few days, until the meat is soft and crispy, and then dip it in orange jelly to eat.” The

two of them have Coming and going, the tone like no one else seems to treat the old demon as a snack.

This time, not only the old demon was so angry, but also Madam Du and the remaining guards were dumbfounded.

The author has something to say: Orange glutinous rice: In fact, it is orange sauce, a common sauce in the Tang Dynasty. Use it as a dipping sauce for fish, or as a dipping sauce for meat.

This kind of sauce seems to be very popular. People in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty often wrote about this kind of seasoning in poems or legends. Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty had a famous saying, “Winter night hurts in Wuxi, herring snows fall and oranges fall.” .

I think the taste of this thing should be sweet and sour, and the dipping sauce is just right to neutralize the fishy smell of fish sauce.
