Celestial Master I

When Nie Xingfeng left the small restaurant, Huo Li happened to be off work. He took the two chicken chops given by the boss and ran to the front bus stop to wait for the bus. Nie Xingfeng stopped him, "I'll take you home."

He remembered that Henry Zhang once said that his family lived on Xiafei Garden Sixth Road, and he had plenty of time, so he could send Huo Li home first.

Huo Li thanked him, jumped into the car, and suddenly shouted excitedly, hugging an object squatting on the car seat.

"Brother Nie, is this your kitten? It's so cute."

Nie Xingfeng saw Huo Li holding a little black cat in his hand. The kitten was staring at him with its green cat eyes like will-o'-the-wisps, and there seemed to be a strange sneer in the eyes, and his heart trembled.

It's the black cat, the black cat that brings misfortune to people.

"Get rid of the cat!"

"Why? Oh..."

The kitten neighed, and its paws grabbed the back of Huo Li's hand fiercely. It then flew forward, jumped out of the half-opened car window, jumped onto the front of the car, and walked left and right on catwalks, threatening Nie Xingfeng. After calling a few times, he twisted his body and ran away.

"The kitten is so fierce." Huo Li touched the bloodstained by the cat's claw on his hand, feeling lingering fear.

"All wild cats are so fierce."

Nie Xingfeng was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the black cat, and said casually.Huo Li nodded in agreement, not daring to say that he clearly heard the kitten scolding him just now.

"You disgusting stupid fox! 』

When I came to the apartment where Henry Zhang lived, there was no car in the parking space, and it seemed that he hadn’t come back yet.

Huo Li got out of the car, took a few steps after saying goodbye, and then ran back suddenly.

"Brother Nie, your complexion is ugly, and the aura around you is also weak. It's better to go home before dark."

Hey, the younger brother of the god stick is also a little god stick.

After the appearance of the black cat, Nie Xingfeng's expression was not good. He smiled: "I have an appointment with someone, and now I have to rush to the appointment. After your elder brother comes back, you tell him that I am fine."

"Ah, no, it's dangerous for people with weak aura to go outside at night. I think I'd better go with you. Although my spells often don't work well, I still have the ability to protect people."

"No need to……"

He was going to ask someone about an extremely important matter, and he didn't want to bring a small follower.

Nie Xing's limelight started to hurt. He knew that the little guy had good intentions, but could he choose not to accept it?

Huo Li had already jumped into the car and fastened his seat belt automatically, "Don't worry, I won't disturb your work."

Even this relying ability is surprisingly similar to Henry Zhang, so Nie Xingfeng had to accept his fate.

Zhu Yao's villa is close to the seaside, and it takes more than an hour to drive. Huo Li was idle and bored, and quickly ate a piece of chicken chop. After a while of hesitation, the piece that belonged to Henry Zhang also became his lunch.

After cleaning his hands after eating, the little fox nestled on the seat and began to sleep.Nie Xingfeng smiled wryly when he heard the small snoring sound coming from his ear.

Sure enough, he was still a child.

The villa was not easy to find. Nie Xingfeng drove around for a long time before finding the house Zhu Yao mentioned.

It was very remote, and there were no residents around, which made the villa look a bit desolate.

In the distance, turbulent waves hit the shore, carrying the tide of the sea breeze, and the sky before six o'clock was already terribly overcast, with gray everywhere, a sign of an impending storm.

The lights were on in the villa, and at the same time Nie Xingfeng's car arrived, the door opened and Zhu Yao came out.

"Sorry, I seem to have arrived earlier than the appointed time."

"It's okay, I just came back after finishing my work, luckily I didn't let you get rejected."

Zhu Yao made a joke, but the anxious light behind his gold-rimmed glasses made the joke seem incongruous.

He looked in the car, "Hey, why is there a little boy?"

"It's my friend's younger brother, so I have to come with him."

Huo Li woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and followed Nie Xingfeng into the villa.

The villa is elegantly and grandly furnished, and there are not many furnishings, but it can be seen at a glance that they are all real antiques and are of great value.

Zhu Yao brought Nie Xingfeng to the living room, brought the brewed coffee, and gave Huo Li a bottle of orange juice.

"Little brother, do you want to play games? My family has the latest game software for PS3."

He pointed to the room next door. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see various game models on the opposite side.

"Okay, okay, our game console is still the most primitive red and white machine!"

Huo Li likes video games very much, when he heard this, he immediately ran over obediently with orange juice.

Nie Xingfeng thanked him, and Zhu Yao waved his hand, "It's better not to let the children hear what we want to say."

He sat down opposite Nie Xingfeng, sipped his coffee, and said, "I'm sorry for making you travel so far, but here you can avoid the paparazzi's pursuit. Miss Qiu just had an accident, and we are all being watched. Let's keep a low profile good."

"It's okay. In fact, it's very presumptuous of me to call Mr. Zhu suddenly. I want to ask you about Li Xianting, and whether he is related to Yu Qian's murder?"

Zhu Yao pushed the glasses on his nose and smiled.

"Of course it is related. Mr. Nie must have read the literature and history about Li Xianting. He was wronged to death and could not be reincarnated, so he came to ask someone for his life. When I heard Miss Qiu's half monster, I thought of the ancient punishment of beheading. I have always been very interested in history, especially the history of the Ming Dynasty, you see, I have a lot of antiques here, and I have spent all my money on it.”

"Only by cutting it in half, can it be concluded that it is history of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course not. I'll show you something. My interest in Ming history was sparked by this thing."

Zhu Yao went out, and when he came back, he was holding a dark machete in his hand. Seeing the hideous horned dragon on the handle, Nie Xingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered the blade that slashed at him in his dream.

Seeing that Nie Xingfeng's coffee cup was empty, Zhu Yao put down the knife, poured coffee for him first, and then placed the knife horizontally on the table.

"I bought this at an antique auction three years ago. Since I bought it, I have been haunted by some very strange dreams. At first, it was fragmented and fragmented, and then it became clearer and clearer. After checking I'm sure the clothes of those people I saw in the dream belonged to the Ming Dynasty."

Nie Xingfeng picked up the knife and pulled it out slowly. The scabbard was gloomy and the tentacles were cold. There was a small word "Li" engraved near the handle. The blade was dark, as if it had been smeared with lacquer ink, and some places were dark brown.

This knife should have killed many people, it is the blood left by the opponent, maybe... there is his own blood on it.

"Is it Li Xianting's knife?"

"It should be. There is a dragon shape engraved on the hilt of the knife. Ordinary people would never dare to use it. It proves that it was bestowed by Wu Zong. There are only a handful of generals surnamed Li who can receive Wu Zong's reward. Commander Du is the most likely one among them."

Zhu Yao explained softly at the side, but there was a sinister light in his eyes, he raised his hand, and swung the paperweight in his palm down towards Nie Xingfeng's neck.

"when!"

The paperweight was chopped on a hard object, making a harsh impact sound.

Nie Xingfeng turned his head, waved the scabbard holding the paperweight to the side, easily defusing Zhu Yao's offensive, and said lightly: "Although the blade is not very bright, it is more than enough to illuminate your movements. You deliberately put I lured you here and wanted to kill me, what exactly do you mean?"

Seen through, Zhu Yao's originally smiling face turned cold, and asked, "Did you not drink coffee?"

"There are too many lies in your words, so I have to doubt your intentions, so I poured the coffee into that pot of green plants." Nie Xingfeng glanced at the pot of green bamboo next to him.

"I have too many tells? Where?"

"When we met at noon, you still avoided me like a snake and scorpion. When I came to visit in the evening, you ran out to greet me hospitablely. The attitude was too different. I think you saw other people besides me, so you ran away on purpose. Go out and confirm, right? You do have a lot of antiques here, but none of them are from the Ming Dynasty. I have a grandfather who is very good at antiques. It is not difficult for me to judge the dynasty. This contradicts what you said Right? How could someone who is very interested in the Ming Dynasty not even have a single Ming Dynasty antique?”

"It's just a coincidence!"

"Then, it's no coincidence. Where did you hear that Yu Qian was killed by a half-length monster? In fact, Qiu Liyan only heard Li Xianting's name. As for the murderer, she didn't know what the murderer looked like. I talked to her before I found you." On the phone, she told me this herself."

Zhu Yao was silent for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Nie Xingfeng, you are much smarter than in your previous life, but the result is still the same. In this life, you will also die by my hands!"

He threw away the paperweight and took out a pistol from his pocket. Nie Xingfeng hurriedly dodged to avoid it, and the carved Song porcelain vase next to him was smashed to pieces.

The other party had a gun in his hand, so Nie Xingfeng didn't dare to fight recklessly, and ran out of the living room to avoid it, and came to the next room, only to see Huo Li holding the game remote control, his body limp on one side.

Sure enough, the glass of orange juice was also drugged.

He stepped forward to hug Huo Li, suddenly his eyes were dazzled, he couldn't stand steadily, and fell to the ground, Zhu Yao walked in with a grinning grin, and the muzzle of the gun was placed on the side of his head.

"A wise man thinks a lot, and there is bound to be a loss. You didn't expect that I put a heavy drug in the room just to be on the safe side?"

Nie Xingfeng shook his head, feeling very dizzy and unable to use his limbs.

The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head, but he didn't feel scared. He looked up at Zhu Yao, "Give me a reason to kill me."

"Actually, I didn't lie just now. After I bought this knife three years ago, I have been haunted by nightmares. At first, I thought it was a bad omen. Later, I realized that God helped me and let me know about my previous life in advance. , take precautions early. You are the only lead that Li Xianting can stay in the human world. If you die, he will naturally disappear. Everything that happened back then was caused by you, and it should be done by you now."

"Who were you in the previous life? Who was I?"

"For a dying person, it doesn't make sense to know that much, does it?"

Zhu Yao put away the pistol and raised the steel knife.

The cold blade shone dazzlingly under the lamp, and Nie Xingfeng was stunned, as if the scene in his dream appeared in front of his eyes.

"Leave this child alone, everything has nothing to do with him."

"Sorry, I can't let him go, don't blame me, you brought him here to find his own death."

Swinging down the steel knife, Nie Xingfeng only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then lost consciousness.

Nie Xingfeng barely opened his sleepy eyelids, and found himself sitting in the passenger seat, bound him tightly like a seat belt rope. Due to the effect of the medicine, he found it difficult to move even a little.

The neck was a bit sticky, and the neckline was soaked with blood. Zhu Yao knocked him unconscious with the back of the knife just now, and he hit him hard, and blood continued to flow from the wound.

The torrential rain poured outside the car, and it was as dark as the night, with occasional flashes of lightning, and under the sudden light, thunder rolled and roared.

The car drove slowly, and the rain hit the window glass with a chilling sharpness.

"Where's Xiaoli?" Nie Xingfeng immediately asked after regaining consciousness.

"I fell asleep in the back seat, don't worry, I will let him accompany you, so that you will not be lonely on the journey."

"asshole……"

The sound of turbulent waves crashing on the shore and thunder and lightning mixed together, covering up Nie Xingfeng's murmured curses.

He already understood Zhu Yao's intention, which is also the purpose of him specially inviting himself to the villa for a meeting——Shen Hai, it's really a good way, it saves even the trouble of disposing of the corpse, he was too careless, and even made Xiaoli suffer .

The car stopped after a jolt, and Zhu Yao turned his head to look at him, the lenses glowed strangely under the lightning, and even his smile looked ferocious.

"Let's break up here. There is still a long way to go to the cliff ahead, so walk slowly."

He threw the steel knife beside Nie Xingfeng, "This is Li Xianting's, I don't need it anymore."

Zhu Yao got out of the car, gestured goodbye to Nie Xingfeng, then turned and left without looking back.

The brakes lost resistance and began to move forward slowly. There is still a distance from the coast here, but it will eventually slide into the sea.

The sea will swallow them forever, and the torrential rain will wipe out the crimes. Not to mention the police, even gods may not be able to find their traces.

"Xiaoli, Xiaoli!"

There was a raving echo from the back seat, Huo Li was still sleeping.

Nie Xingfeng had no choice but to give up his plan to wake him up, and tried his best to move his hand to the seat belt buckle, and it took a lot of effort to unbuckle the seat belt.

The body was temporarily freed, and he was able to slowly move his hand to the handbrake. As long as the handbrake was pulled up, the car could be prevented from continuing to slide forward.

Nie Xingfeng fell backwards, using the momentum to penetrate his hands.

However, the handbrake did not move at all, but he hit his head due to excessive force, a burst of severe pain hit, and his consciousness was instantly annihilated.

Suddenly, Nie Xingfeng couldn't help covering his eyes with his hands. For a moment, he thought it was the light of lightning, but then he realized that it was indoor lights.

At this moment, he was standing in the spacious and bright hall, the hall where he chatted with Zhu Yao just now.

There are no more stormy waves around, and the sound-proof buildings cover all the noise outside the house.

Nie Xingfeng was surprised, and immediately realized that he had moved to another dimension.

There was a frightened hiss from upstairs, followed by gunshots, and someone rushed downstairs rolling and crawling.

Zhu Yao's elegance just disappeared without a trace, his glasses hung sideways on his face, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot. After going downstairs, he kept looking at the four walls and shouted: "Come out, you monster, I am not afraid of living, and I am not afraid of dying." If you dare to play tricks, get out!"

The hand holding the gun kept trembling, revealing his fear. When he heard the sound behind him, he shot back a few times, smashing an ancient tea set into pieces.

Nie Xingfeng looked at him sympathetically, he was in danger now, but he didn't realize that the object of fear was clinging to his shoulders.

It seems that he did not escape in the end, and Li Xianting found him.

Zhu Yao suddenly let out a scream, and fired a shot in the direction of his shoulder. It turned out that he saw Li Xianting's figure in the reflection of the glass shards.

Drops of blood dripped down, and the blood-soaked iron chain suddenly locked onto Zhu Yao's neck. When he lifted it up, Zhu Yao flew into the air. After a few rounds, he slammed into the bookshelf beside him, and he fell to the floor coughing loudly. Get up, the gun is also out of hand.

Li Xianting's snow-white hand bones were stuck on Zhu Yao's neck, and when the lightning passed, Zhu Yao suddenly saw the blood-colored human body pressing on him, and was so frightened that he struggled to touch the pistol that fell aside, raised the gun and shot.

The bullet passed through Li Xianting's body and hit the wall behind. After a few shots, there was a clicking sound from the gun body, and the ammunition was exhausted.

"You, what exactly do you want..." Zhu Yao asked in horror as his neck was tightened.

Li Xianting opened his mouth and laughed, seeing half of his tongue in his mouth, Nie Xingfeng suddenly felt hot in his eyes, as if tears were falling.

"Die! You all deserve to die! Lord Yao, you never imagined that the person who recruited my soul from the underworld was the Taoist priest who was ordered by you to seal me back then? This is God's will, let us settle the grievances of the past!"

His tongue was shortened, and his words were vague. Seeing his bloody waist and remembering the torture that was inflicted on him back then, Zhu Yao was so frightened that he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and the cold and sharp bones of his hand Arriving at his heart, it seemed that it might be pierced at any time.

"Meow……"

The sudden cat meow made Li Xianting's movements stagnate, Zhu Yao took the opportunity to push him away and ran forward with all his might.

Immediately, his ankle was entangled in the iron chain, he fell to the ground, and scrambled to dodge. Standing in front of him, Nie Xingfeng suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw the weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, when Li Xianting rushed towards him, Zhu Yao suddenly took out a Taoist talisman from his bosom and threw it over. Li Xianting couldn't dodge in time, and screamed in pain, a white smoke rose from the place where he was hit, and the blood shadow faded a lot.

Zhu Yao stood up with a smirk, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and took out another Taoist talisman to face Li Xianting's soul.

The Dao Talisman spread out in the air, and the golden characters shone brightly, covering Li Xianting in it. He hissed in pain, and his spirit body trembled violently in the air.

Zhu Yao sneered: "I was prepared, you didn't expect it? I sent Nie Xingfeng to the underworld to accompany you, but you still didn't give up and came to pester you, so you can't blame me for losing your soul."

"mean……"

Li Xianting was panting, biting his words in extreme pain.

It was only then that Nie Xingfeng realized that Zhu Yao's actions just now were just a show, the purpose was to make Li Xianting put down his guard so that he could succeed in one fell swoop.

Li Xianting's spirit body fell to the ground, and as the golden talisman approached, half of his body moaned in pain in a pool of blood. Nie Xingfeng saw it, and suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

Zhu Yao walked up to Li Xianting, pasted the talisman on his altar, and smiled, "Goodbye, General Li."

"stop!"

Nie Xingfeng rushed forward and reached out to grab the talisman.

Don't let anyone hurt the general, whether he is a ghost or an evil spirit now.

The outstretched hand did not fail, but held the talisman firmly in his hand.

The talisman disappeared halfway, and suddenly seeing Nie Xingfeng appearing in front of him, Zhu Yao was frightened, watching him tear the talisman to pieces.

"don't want!"

That was his life-saving talisman, it was him...

Zhu Yao didn't have a chance to think about it any more. The moment the golden light disappeared, darkness engulfed his eyes, and an extremely cold and hard object pierced his chest fiercely...

However, Nie Xingfeng was thrown out by a powerful force. When he disappeared, he only saw blood in front of his eyes. Amid Zhu Yao's screams, his limbs were torn apart alive.

Surrounded by boundless darkness, he felt his body floating in space, and he suddenly thought of Huo Li in a trance.

Yes, Xiao Li is still in the car, he must go back to save others.

After thinking about it, he opened his eyes again, and found that he had returned to the car.

Deafening bangs echoed in my ears, but the surroundings were pitch black, and Huo Li's suspicious cry came from behind.

"It's so dark, where are we now?"

where is it?

There was no sound of thunder and rain, no feeling of the car moving, but a force was pulling them down continuously...

No, it turned out that when he left his soul, the car had fallen off the cliff, and now they are in the sea.

"It's at the bottom of the sea, but don't be afraid, I'll get you out."

The potency of the medicine seemed to have passed, Nie Xingfeng took the steel knife next to him, and knocked hard at the window.

The glass was as hard as steel and would not budge.

"It's great, we're at the bottom of the sea, but why is it so dark around here that we can't see tropical fish?"

Huo Li's unexpected response made Nie Xingfeng almost vomit blood.

"Brother Nie, do you want to go out? Let me do it."

Huo Limao introduced himself, chanted a mantra, pressed his palm on the glass, and shouted: "Open!"

The windows are intact.

"Eh? My spell doesn't work. Brother Nie, don't worry. I'll try again."

One of the two people was chanting a mantra in the back, and the other was banging on the window in front. After tossing for a long time, it was still in vain.

Nie Xingfeng's movements gradually slowed down, and the oxygen in the car was thin. Under the violent movements, he only felt that his chest was constricted, and he was sweating continuously.

Huo Li's low sobbing sound came from behind, "I can't breathe, what's going on? Will I die?"

"No, hold on for a while."

Nie Xingfeng gradually felt powerless, and the hand that knocked on the car window finally dropped, leaning on the back of the chair and panting.

His mind became dazed under the lack of oxygen, and he vaguely saw a beam of light coming from the darkness. Someone was sticking to the front window, waving desperately at him, his pupils were blue, flashing anxious and panicked light.

It's not an illusion, that's Henry Zhang, and there are two huge living creatures swimming behind him, with silver light on the wing horns, golden beard on the beard, and golden light on the scales, illuminating the entire sea water.

The windows that were as strong as iron splashed and shattered in the next moment, and the sea water rushed in. Henry Zhang stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the car.

"And Xiaoli!"

Nie Xingfeng turned his head nervously, but he didn't see the little guy, only a big, fur toy-like thing floating in the sea.

"Xiaoli..."

Nie Xingfeng wanted to go back to find someone, but Henry Zhang covered his eyes, and a golden light flashed, taking his consciousness away instantly.

Swish!

The sharp blade slashed down in the air, accompanied by the woman's exclamation.

He didn't dodge, and watched the cold light approaching coldly, but narrowed his eyes slightly.

The steel knife slashed heavily on the bed frame, the man glared at him with fire-breathing eyes, and shouted at the terrified woman beside him, "Get lost!"

The woman shivered and put on her coat, and ran out.

"General..."

The man sneered at him: "Xing Feng, I support you, and you have the status you have today. You once said that you will repay the kindness of your knowledge, so this is your reward!"

He became angry and said angrily: "Yes, you gave me all my glory today, but I also slept with you. Everyone takes what they need and owes nothing."

"It's a good one that doesn't owe anything!"

Amidst the man's sneer, he pulled out the steel knife and cut off a corner of his clothes with the knife. The knife's momentum remained unabated, and the blade drew a bright light on the ground.

"As you wish, today you and I will cut off all ties, and there will be no more entanglements!"

The man turned around and walked away with the knife in hand. The edge of the knife glowed coldly under the lamp, and the small character "李" on the handle was clearly visible.

"Wait..." Amidst the shout, Nie Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

Immediately, his eyes went dark, and his eyes were covered by a hand.

Smelling the fragrance of CK, he said angrily: "Henry Zhang, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Henry Zhang said in an idle voice: "You said that you don't want to see me again, and I'm just helping you achieve your wish."

It's my own fault, bear!

"Sorry, I apologize for my gaffe that day."

"Apologize? I can't see the sincerity of apologizing at all." Henry Zhang muttered fueled the fire.

Two blue veins on Nie Xingfeng's forehead popped out successfully.

"This is my sincerity! Accept it and continue to work; if you don't accept it, I will issue a resignation certificate for you!"

"accept."

Unwilling to spit out the words, he moved his hand away instantly, allowing Nie Xingfeng to enjoy the warm sunshine.

Without the darkness of sinking into the sea, that was the color he hated, as dark as hell.

He sat up, the severe pain from the back of his head made him frowned, and reached out to touch it, where it had already been bandaged, and a few rounds of gauze was wrapped around his forehead.

Very real pain, constantly reminding myself that he is still alive.

"You bled a lot last night. When I took you to the hospital for bandages, the doctor said that you might have a slight concussion, but I put a pain-relieving spell on your wound. It shouldn't be a big problem. Having said that, you have really had a concussion recently. It's unlucky enough to be knocked on the head all the time. What's wrong with you, why are you in a daze? You don't really have a concussion, do you?"

"fine."

Nie Xingfeng shook his head, shook off the dream just now, got out of bed and went to the living room.

"Is Xiaoli all right?"

"He, he was a little frightened, and now he is sleeping in the next room, hehe, Chairman, I use your room without permission, don't you mind?"

A refreshing smile, completely different from the frightened face I saw at the bottom of the sea last night.

"How did you find the beach?"

"Hey, it's a long story. In order to find you, I exploded my phone."

Henry Zhang gave Nie Xingfeng a look of hatred, but unfortunately his pale blue pupils interpreted hatred into infinite style.

He was suddenly fired for no reason that day, Henry Zhang didn’t panic, but had two preparations with a red heart, looking for a job in the newspaper that night, on the other hand, he was going to wait a few days for Nie Xing’s morale to subside before pleading for mercy.

However, after the news of Yu Qian's murder came out the next day, Feng Qingqing called him and asked a lot of questions. During the conversation, he realized that Yu Qian and Nie Xingfeng were both present when the oil painting went weird that night. He was afraid that Nie Xingfeng would be in danger, so he started looking for him.

But Nie Xingfeng's cell phone couldn't get through, and Bailing's person-finding spell didn't work. Finally, he finally got the news from Nie Ruiting and rushed to the seaside villa.

It is also thanks to Huo Li that he was able to find Nie Xingfeng smoothly. He wore the Tiangang bracelet he gave him, so he chased Henry Zhang all the way to the bottom of the sea following the aura of the two.

"I called you back later, but you turned off the phone."

"What shut down? That's because I called you to blow up the phone. This is a mobile phone I just bought. You have to pay for it!"

Henry Zhang brought over the prepared breakfast, the rice porridge was a bit mushy, and the fried eggs were burnt, but he could barely eat it.

So many things happened last night, Henry Zhang must have never rested, Nie Xingfeng didn’t say anything, but he was a little moved in his heart.

"That... thank you."

"No thanks, I should have done it."

For the golden banknotes, he absolutely devoted himself to death, not to mention that he had recorded all the items in the expense list, and calculated them together after autumn.
