Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhao Pu brought Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to the other courtyard, and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl drinking tea in the courtyard, while Chen Xing'er chatted with her.

Gongsun had already painted a portrait, Master Bao was sitting beside him, frowning at the painting.

Zhan Zhao recognized the little girl at a glance, "Xiaoqi?"

Sitting there was Chen Qiqi who was brought out from the palace by Zhao Pu.After leaving the palace, she didn't have to pretend to be a little eunuch anymore, she changed into the original clothes, which were uniformly worn by the apprentices in Tengxiang Pavilion, neatly.

Zhan Zhao introduced it to Bai Yutang.

Most of the wicks used in Kaifeng Mansion are from Tengxiang Pavilion. Xiao Qi came here a few times occasionally and got to know Zhan Zhao.

Lord Bao showed Zhan Zhao the portrait that Gongsun drew through Xiao Qi's description, and asked, "Guard Zhan, what do you think?"

Zhan Zhao took the portrait and glanced at it in puzzlement, then immediately frowned.

Bai Yutang also leaned over to take a look, and saw that the person in the portrait was an old man with a thin face and a scar on one side of the bridge of the nose.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "Eh? This isn't..."

"Zhou Zanghai." Master Bao frowned, "I really didn't expect that."

"Who is Zhou Zanghai?" Bai Yutang felt a little familiar.

"You haven't seen people, you should have seen paintings." Zhan Zhao reminded.

In a word, it really reminded Bai Yutang, "Oh...is he the painter for the queen?"

"He is the head of the imperial painters." Gongsun said, "The old man is good at calligraphy, painting, carving and calligraphy... In short, he is good at everything."

Bai Yutang had indeed seen this figure painting, "Is the imperial painter always in the palace?"

"Yeah." Zhao Pu nodded, "It's just that he doesn't usually wear white, he always wears black, and he doesn't come out very often in the art academy, but I remember this scar."

As he spoke, Zhao Pu touched the side of the bridge of his nose.

Lord Bao nodded, "Your Highness is so thoughtful that he actually remembers it. This residence almost couldn't remember it."

"Not surprising." Zhao Pu smiled slightly, "Because I made the scar."

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Zhao Pu in surprise.

Zhao Pu shrugged, "I still remember that he drew me a portrait when I was young. I don't know why, others said I looked like it, but I felt nothing like it. I hated that old man since I was a child."

Gongsun was puzzled, "Zhou Zanghai is a master of Danqing, why does your painting look different..."

"Zhao Zhen also said that it doesn't look like it." Zhao Pu became angry, "The stinky old man painted me like a ghost."

"Then others still say it looks like it?" Gongsun was surprised.

Zhao Pu pointed to the eyes, "It's the eyes! He drew my eyes like beasts, and the more I think about it, the more angry I get."

Gongsun frowned, "That should be intentional."

"You think so too?" Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "I've seen the paintings he drew for others, and I'm sure he did it on purpose."

"And then?" Gongsun asked.

"At that time, the Empress Dowager was still Empress Liu." Zhao Pu said to himself, "One time... Zhou Zanghai listened to Empress Liu and drew a portrait of Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen was about seven years old that year. When I passed by, I just saw When I saw that he was painting, I knew he was playing tricks just by looking at it."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"However I look at it, I feel that the appearance of Zhao Zhen in the painting is very similar, but the special feature is the eyes, and it looks a bit like some kind of small animal."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Pu sneered, "After thinking about it, he painted seven parts like a human and three parts like a civet cat."

Everyone opened their mouths and took a breath—everyone knew about the replacement of the civet cat for the prince, and this approach was simply ulterior motives.

"Although I didn't know about that thing back then, it didn't please my eyes. The old man is indeed a master. With just a few strokes, he painted a child who looked good at first, with a deep mind and a cunning and suspicious mind. Contact the civet cat Regarding the matter of changing the prince, if Empress Liu saw this portrait back then, it would be hard not to be a little afraid of Zhao Zhen. She should have trouble sleeping and eating, and could see the face of the civet cat demonized into a human being in her dreams. When I grow up, if I know the truth of the year, I will definitely seek revenge on myself."

"Is he scaring Empress Liu?" Gongsun asked.

"It's not so much to scare Empress Liu, but to hint to Empress Liu to get rid of Zhao Zhen," Bai Yutang said.

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows and nodded, "I had the feeling that he had malicious intentions when I was a child."

"Then what did you do?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

Zhao Pu smiled, "I accidentally kicked a stone into his face and hit the bridge of his nose."

Everyone knew it, obviously it wasn't "accidental"... That scar was left at that time, no wonder Zhao Pu remembered it clearly.

Zhao Pu was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Actually, I kicked him in the eye socket."

Everyone is puzzled.

"I originally thought that if he was kicked and injured his eye socket, he would cover his eyes and he would not be able to draw for a while, but who knew he moved suddenly and hit the bridge of his nose," Zhao Pu said. , touched his chin, "Actually, thinking about it now, he might be able to do martial arts, and then he avoided it instinctively... But if he avoided it completely, it might arouse my suspicion, so I hesitated for a while, but in the end, he stayed behind." That scar."

Everyone nodded, there were indeed traces of contact before and after the contact, and there were many suspicious points.

"What about the portrait later?" Gongsun asked.

"I asked the imperial doctor to take him away for treatment, and then I tore him up and threw him into the river." Zhao Pu said, "I warned him later, and then he just disappeared, trying not to appear in front of me and Zhao Zhen."

"How did you warn him?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Oh, when I ran into him again, I greeted him about his injuries, and then said, 'You seem to have a lot of secrets' Are you a bad guy?" Zhao Pu replied.

Everyone laughed. For a ten-year-old boy, this is very normal. It can be said that those who say it have no intention of listening to it, and what's more, Zhou Zanghai may really have a ulterior motive.

"Is he also the one who secretly attacked you in the palace?" Gongsun asked.

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Probably..."

"If he can startle the wind..." Bai Yutang said, "It's probably him! He can do many things with the wind, including all kinds of tricks. The "spider spirit" behind the tricks in the case of Qige is also the same he."

Everyone thinks the possibility is high.

"What's his purpose?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

Bai Yutang picked up the portrait and looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Everyone agrees, it seems... It is necessary to ask some old seniors to take a look at this portrait, and recognize whether the person in the portrait is a former enemy.

……

Gongsun found a piece of paper and pasted the scar on the nose of Zhou Zanghai's portrait, and everyone took the portrait to the next yard.

As soon as I got to the gate of the courtyard, I heard noises inside.

Everyone was taken aback, what are these old men doing?It's a toss about not sleeping so late.

Bai Yutang walked into the door suspiciously and took a look, then backed out silently, with an expression that seemed to be that he really didn't want to go in.

Zhan Zhao was curious, took a look with his probe, and was speechless... No wonder hearing the sound of rattling, it turned out that a table was set up in the yard, and Tianzun, Yin Hou, Master Wusha and Yao Changtian were playing horse hanging. lively.

Lu Tianhan was leaning on the rattan couch beside him, he probably just came off and was drinking some wine.

When everyone was hesitating whether to go in, Gongsun rushed in suddenly and yelled, "All of you are six hundred years old, is there a mistake? It's almost dawn and you don't want to live Do you know that people who are over a hundred years old are not allowed to hit the horse? What if you get hit insane? And you!" Tianzun pointed at Lu Tianhan who was holding a wine glass, "Staying up late and still drinking? You think you are in your early twenties! Let me down!"

After Gongsun finished shouting, the scene was silent, Lu Tianhan's wine was spilled, Tianzun hid behind Yin Hou, Yin Hou scratched his head, Master Wusha chanted Amitabha, dare to compare with Gongsun, his little Linzi is too gentle.

Yao Changtian also looked at Zhao Pu - so fierce!

Zhan Zhao and the others stood at the door and silently counted the ages of several people - the total is six hundred, they deserve to be scolded...

The old men obediently put away the horse cranes and were about to go to bed.

"Wait!" Gongsun pointed to the stool.

The five went back and sat down obediently.

Gongsun prescribed a prescription, called Chen Xing'er, and said to the elders, "Wait a little longer, I'll let Chen Xing'er cook a tranquilizer for you, and sleep until the sun rises tomorrow."

Several old men scratched their faces and looked at their apprentices.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang held back their laughter, gloated and walked in.

Zhao Pu also strolled in, took the blueprint and put it on the table, "Look at this before drinking the Anshen Soup, do you know anyone?" After finishing speaking, he patted Gongsun on the shoulder, which meant—for Shun Mao.

A group of old people leaned over to look at the drawings.

Tianzun blinked after reading it, "Who is it?"

Although Zhan Zhao and the others were somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help being disappointed—don't they know each other...

But then Yin Hou touched his chin and said to himself, "Did you see it somewhere?"

"I also think it looks familiar." Lu Tianhan also said.

A few old men started grabbing the portrait, and finally heard a "stab".

Look again... the portrait was torn into five halves.

The corner of Gongsun's mouth twitched.

All the old men looked at Gongsun with trepidation.

Gongsun came back to his senses, and seeing the eyes of several old people, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Draw another one soon."

Several old men breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhao Pu narrowed his eyes on Gongsun—it's really good, look at scaring these martial arts masters.

Gongsun was also a little embarrassed.

Master Wusha hurriedly took back all the drawing papers and put them together.

It's just that the great monk had just put together the blueprints when Tianzun suddenly said, "Ah!"

Lu Tianhan and Yin Hou also stood up.

Yao Changtian held his chin, "Oh, it turned out to be him."

"I said it looks familiar." Yin Hou also laughed.

Everyone looked at each other, does this mean there are clues?

Zhan Zhao tugged at Yin Hou, "Do you know him?"

"Yeah." Yin Hou nodded, and asked the others, "What's his name..."

"I don't remember the exact name, it turned out to be a young apprentice in Xiaoyaotan." Yin Hou said, "Speaking of which, could he have learned his Jingfeng Palm from Zhou Yao?"

"Zhou Yao..." Tianzun squinted his eyes, with that expression, the word "dislike" was written on his face.

Bai Yutang sighed, and asked Tianzun, "The person you offended again?"

Tianzun squinted at his apprentice, "Talking as if the teacher offends people all day long."

Bai Yutang imitated his expression and looked at him - didn't he?

Everyone also silently glanced at Tianzun——couldn't they?

Tianzun's right eyelid twitched slightly.

Bai Yutang was helpless, "You must have been a hedgehog in your previous life!"

Tianzun looked at Bai Yutang for a while, then suddenly pulled him over and strangled his neck, "Little bastard!"

Bai Yutang struggled for a long time, and then broke free under Zhan Zhao's "rescue", coughing while rubbing his neck, Tianzun was quite ruthless in his attack.

Master Wusha helped out, "The matter of Zhou Yao is not the fault of Tianzun, although he is quite capable of causing trouble..."

Before he finished speaking, Tianzun grabbed the flesh on Master Wusha's stomach, "Fatty!"

Yin Hou also held his chin and sighed, "It seems that you were the one who got into trouble every time when I was young..."

Lu Tianhan drank his tea and nodded, "Yutang is not easy..."

So, several old men pinched again.

Yao Changtian's business has nothing to do with him, anyway, he is not the boy of this gang, watching the fun with a teacup.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, not only these two, but everyone felt a subtle change in the way the old men got along.In the original words, how should I put it, everyone treats Tianzun cautiously, and Yin Hou sometimes only makes a few jokes.But now it seems that this layer of scruples is gone, and getting along is much more natural.Moreover, Master Wusha and Yin Hou, including Lu Tianhan, looked in a particularly good mood, and everyone felt that the way this group of people got along with each other when they were young should be "bullying" Tianzun together.

"Is Xiaoyaotan a gathering place for liars?" Zhan Zhao asked, "I heard from Mr. Feng that there used to be a place called Xiaoyaotan, where all the big crooks gathered in it, and the most cunning people in the entire martial arts gathered there. , committed many, many crimes. Later, the owner of Xiaoyaotan returned to the court, disbanded Xiaoyaotan, and all the crooks disappeared."

Yin Hou nodded, "That's almost the case. The owner of Xiaoyaotan was originally Li Min's confidant." He said, pointing to the portrait, "This kid was very young back then, and Xiaoyaotan was blown up. He might not be able to avoid it in time. I was injured, and several bloodstains rushed out on my face, I didn’t cry or scream or save anyone, I just stood and watched and laughed. So I remember it very clearly.”

Tianzun also nodded.

"That was a long time ago." Zhan Zhao asked, "Isn't he about the same age as you?"

"It should be." Yin Hou frowned, "Such a person is lurking in the palace... What is the purpose?"

"Does he have any grudges against you?" Zhan Zhao asked, "The destruction of Xiaoyaotan has something to do with you?"

All the old men looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Xiaoyaotan collapsed due to internal fighting. On the contrary, those who survived were rescued by the demon king. I should be very grateful to the demon king."

"I seem to have seen him once or twice later." Tianzun suddenly poked Zhou Zanghai on the portrait, "Maybe he has nowhere to rest after he recovers from the injury, and he does some chores in the palace. The demon king lived in the palace for a while , I saw him come to sweep the floor."

"Really?" Yin Hou obviously had no impression.

"Well, I saw him twice, and then disappeared." Tianzun replied, "He was hiding, and the demon king seems to have given him something to eat."

"Then why is he targeting you?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Several old men looked at Tianzun subconsciously, Tianzun was so angry, "They all said it has nothing to do with me!"

"Maybe it's just for the Ten Thousand Curses Palace?"

"No matter what his real name is, since his surname is now Zhou and his name is Zhou Zanghai, does it have something to do with Zhou Yao back then?" Bai Yutang asked, "Zanghai...the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses is hidden in the sea, does it mean something?"

A few old men shook their heads, saying that they couldn't figure it out!not interested.

"Since that's the case, let's do the trick." Zhao Pu said.

Bai Yutang nodded, and went to make a fake Kowloon roulette all night.Zhan Zhao harassed Bai Yutang all night, and when the sun rose the next morning, everyone came to the horse shed, and saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao coming out, Zhan Zhao was holding a plate with ready-made Fake Kowloon Roulette.

Both Yin Hou and Tianzun came to study it, and put forward some opinions. Bai Yutang repaired it. Finally, after several old people nodded, the fake Kowloon roulette was made.

Zhao Pu asked Ziying to find a very simple ebony box, put the things in it, and quietly handed it over to Ge Qing.

Ge Qing and his soldiers were still patrolling near the destroyed Sihai Temple, during which time he quietly threw the ebony box into the pit.

At noon, a large number of craftsmen came to the vicinity of the Four Seas Palace for repairs.Not long after, a craftsman dug up the ebony box, but he didn't dare to open it, so he crawled out and handed it to the guards.

The guard reported to Nangong Ji, Nangong walked over and opened it for a look, then ordered someone to temporarily lock it into the silver vault in the palace.

……

That night, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ambushed near the bank.

The first half of the night was peaceful, and the second half of the night... In the dead of night, Zhan Zhao heard some movement.

Bai Yutang, who was hiding behind the window of the small building's compartment with Zhan Zhao, also heard an unusual wind, so the two stood in front of the window and watched.

In the distance, a lantern floated past and landed slowly at the door of a warehouse in the bank where Kowloon roulette was stored.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "So you used a lantern to explore the way first? The technique is very similar to the previous hauntings."

Bai Yutang leaned against the window and watched, and saw under the moonlight, a layer of faint silver on the ground was slowly expanding, and finally climbed up the steps at the door of the silver warehouse.

Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Extremely cold true energy."

Zhan Zhao nodded.

After seeing that layer of silver frost climbed up the steps of the warehouse, it stopped on the iron lock of the door, and layers of frost covered the entire iron chain.

After a while, under the moonlight, a white figure flashed... silently landed at the door of the warehouse.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning - such high internal strength!

Under the moonlight, the man in white at the door reached out and pressed the lock of the warehouse door.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang realized that the other party's internal strength was extremely high, so they also held their breath, for fear of being discovered.

The other party exerted internal force on the door lock for a while, and then heard a soft "click".

The door lock broke and fell to the ground.

At this time, the man in white turned around and looked around, as if to check for the last time, whether there was anyone ambushing around.

Zhan Zhao moved over cooperatively and covered Bai Yutang's mouth with his hand.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly.

Zhan Zhao beamed with a smile—he made a sound!

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly - this cat is quite interesting.

At this time, the moon came out of the clouds again, and the moonlight became even brighter... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang clearly saw the face of the person at the door looking around. The scar on the side of the bridge of the nose was indeed quite obvious. is also very similar.Zhan Zhao recognized at a glance that it was Zhou Zanghai, the low-key royal painter in the palace.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are connoisseurs, and they can tell at a glance that this person is definitely very old, with profound internal strength, and is a figure of the old demon level.In addition, he seems to be very good at hiding his internal strength and aura, but the source of his martial arts is unknown, and the details are unknown.

After making sure that no one was around, Zhou Zanghai opened the door and stepped into the bank...

It's just that he just looked up, and saw a table in the middle of the bank, and two people were making soothing soup, it was Tianzun and Yinhou.

Tianzun frowned, "How many ginseng did Gongsun Xiaowa put in it?"

Yin Hou also found it difficult to drink, "Bitter..."

Zhou Zanghai froze for a moment, turned around and ran away.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang pushed open the window, leaning on the railing to look out.

Zhou Zanghai turned around, but saw that Master Wusha and Lu Tianhan had already blocked his way. On the roof at the gate of the courtyard, Yao Changtian was sitting with arms folded. Just grab a kid."

Zhao Pu came in from the courtyard with a large number of guards, Zhou Zanghai was surrounded and had nowhere to escape.

Yin Hou came out from the bank, holding the box containing the Kowloon roulette in his hand, "Do you want this?"

Zhou Zanghai nodded and stretched out his hand.

Yin Hou was a little surprised, "So persistent? Do you want to go to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses?"

Zhou Zanghai looked at Yin Hou for a while, and finally shifted his gaze to Tianzun who was still sitting in the room, "I'm just doing something you dare not do."

Yin Hou watched him look at Tianzun's expression, and silently turned his head to look at Tianzun who was holding a soup bowl and tilting his head. Others also looked at it. The meaning was obvious—is it really your enemy?

Tianzun was very troubled holding his chin, and couldn't think of when he would offend this person.

Finally, Tianzun put down the bowl and asked, "Would you like to recall it for me?"

Zhou Zanghai stared at Tianzun, nodded, "Yes, unless you beat me."

Everyone was stunned.

Tianzun blinked.

Zhan Zhao also picked out his ears, and asked Bai Yutang, "What did he say?"

Bai Yutang laughed, "It seems to mean that I want to challenge my master one-on-one."

A smile appeared on Zhou Zanghai's face, and he said to Tianzun, "I only have two wishes in my life, to go to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses, or to kill you with my own hands, whichever one you want can be fulfilled."

Yin Hou frowned, and looked back at Tianzun—it was definitely a big hatred, you really don't remember?

Tianzun sat still, and didn't know whether he remembered something or was just distracted, and said to himself, "It's interesting..."

Yin Hou, Lu Tianhan and Master Wusha all walked aside. Lu Tianhan waved his hand to Zhao Pu lightly, motioning him to tell the guards to back off. The fight between these two is no joke, don't hurt the innocent.

Zhao Pu waved to the guards, while he went up to one side of the roof to watch the excitement.

……

"This is the first time I've seen someone call Ban Tianzun." Zhan Zhao suddenly said to Bai Yutang, "Speaking of which, apart from fighting with my grandfather, I really haven't seen Tianzun actually fight with others."

Bai Yutang said, "To be honest, I haven't seen it very often. I was the one who was beaten before."

"Little devil..."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked up together, and saw Yao Changtian sitting on the roof above them at some point, calling them both.

Yao Changtian landed beside the two of them, leaning against the railing, and asked Bai Yutang, "You've only been with him for more than twenty years, right?"

Bai Yutang nodded, thinking that the master was only in his twenties, of course he had only been with him for more than twenty years.

"Oh..." Yao Changtian held his chin and looked at Bai Yutang with great interest, "So you haven't seen his kung fu before."

Bai Yutang frowned.

Zhan Zhao didn't understand either—if Yutang hadn't seen it, who would?

"You two are too young, Tianzun and Yin Hou probably haven't met any decent opponents in the past twenty years." Yao Changtian looked at Zhou Zanghai below, "This kid is really interesting."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao watched the sky forever.

Yao Changtian showed a helpless look on his face, "But with Zhou Zanghai's level of internal strength, he is really just a little guy in front of Tianzun."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were surprised.

Yao Changtian smirked, "You two are still far behind, just like Zhao Pu, the bucket is half full."

The corners of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched, and Zhao Pu in the distance suddenly sneezed.

"The opportunity is rare, don't blink."

Yao Changtian spoke quietly, reminding the two of them, "Feel what kind of existence the Silver Demon King puts on the tip of his heart."
