Tai sui

Gap Jiangxi, Tao County.

This place is on the border of Western Chu, and you can reach Nanwan after crossing the river.The distance between the two places is close, people come and go, and business marriages are common.Coupled with the civil strife in Nanwan a few years ago, there were still many Wan people who fled and came here. After spending a long time together, this place has become more and more "sounds and breaths".

People speak mixed languages, and learn from each other about weddings and funerals.

In Shiqili Town, Tao County, a well-to-do family is attending a funeral.The ancestors of the deceased may have been from Wan people, and the person who invited the hostess sang the Dawan revival tune, while the Chuilatan sang around the old house, but they were all Chu customs.

"The inner and outer coffins are erected, the two sheds are sutras, the coffin is suspended for seven days, and the road leads to the sky to send you home!"

The person in charge of the ceremony claimed to be a native of Nanwan. He was a small-time worker with a clear background, but he didn't know where he came from. He had a broken gong voice and was out of tune.

He was unshaven, he couldn't tell how old he was, and his arms were bare, revealing the flesh of his body that had been exposed to the wind and the sun. He chanted the revived tune like a smashing chant, and the footsteps of the masters who carried the coffin were very uniform. , sonorous and powerful, I wish I could turn the person in the coffin upside down, and borrow another 500 years from the sky.

The coffin had to circle the town three times, as a farewell to the parents and folks, before being sent to the ancestral grave.

Ye Luziyi's sandpaper-like voice almost rubbed off the whole town's elders.As he led the coffin away, he calmly took a panoramic view of the topography and scenery of the Shiqili Town, and saw a "fairy palace" stretched across the wind and water.After seeing how many doors of the Immortal Palace were open and the general location, etc., Yiren winked at the companion who carried the coffin.

The coffin bearers knocked regularly on the coffin: there was a pair of guards at each door, and there must be a magic circle inside, and someone still had to lead the way.

Yiren nodded inconspicuously: I know.

This group of people came to the "Xiangong" in Shiqili Town.

The area of ​​Tao County, no matter which country it is, is as high as the sky and far away from the emperor.

Frontier has always been loved by many demons and ghosts.

Over the years, the title of Pang Jian in Dawan Tianji Pavilion has changed from vice capital to governor, and his people seem to have changed from wolf dogs to mad dogs. The methods of dealing with evil spirits are cruel, and he has the meaning that he would rather kill by mistake than let him go. A few folk cultivators went abroad.

In comparison, the three mountains of Chu State are much more tolerant towards folk casual cultivators. As long as there are no obvious incidents of stealing the sky, black market spirit stone trading and the like, they will turn a blind eye and close one eye. study.

As a result, Shiqili Town, a place with well-developed water and land routes, gradually gathered a black market for trading magical artifacts, spirit stones and elixir, which was nicknamed "Wild Fox Township".

The local snake in "Wild Fox Township" is called "Snake King" because of the snake-like scars all over its body.

This snake king has great powers and is especially good at messing around. In the early years, taking advantage of the civil strife in Dawan, he bluffed everywhere and saved a lot of money.Xuanyin Mountain used Thunder to suppress the rebellion, and the Snake King turned around and defected to Chu.

The nearest place between Chu and Wan is just across a river. The Xiang family of Chu State has always coveted their rich neighbors, so naturally they want to take advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters.There are more than a dozen of the 36 peak masters of Xuanyin Mountain descending to the earth. The old-fashioned fairy sect has such a deep foundation. He stewed this group of hyenas as soon as he made a move.

Chu didn't get a bargain, but the villains mixed in were like weeds, which grow wildly when the wind of troubled times blows.After this battle, the Snake King caught up with the orthodoxy of Chu State.

This person has some strange methods, he is very good at both sides, he manages the outer gate of Sanyue very well, and at the same time takes in a group of evil spirits who have nowhere to go in Tao County.In a few years, he really made a name for himself, and he became the emperor of the land in this wild fox village.

It is said that in the entire Shiqili Town, every insect and bird is the eyes and ears of this Snake King. He sits in a "fairy palace" covering an area of ​​[-] mu. There are third-class inscriptions everywhere in the palace, and the red cannons can't break it. .

Yiren stared at the majestic Asgard for a while, then retracted his gaze, and lowered his thick eyelashes to block the murderous intent in his eyes.

He took out the broken wine jug from his waist, moistened his throat, and shouted in a beaming tone like "sending it to the bridal chamber", "If a stranger borrows it, the family will reward it—money!"

The paper money drifted away with the wind, and the funeral procession headed west with a whistling sound.

The old gentleman in the coffin is said to have passed the seventy-year-old age, and several years ago he said that he was going to die, and he would not die when he was old.The filial son of the family has long been annoyed, but it can be regarded as getting rid of the old stuff, and after fooling around, he deliberately picked a yiren who was half the price of others.

This Yiren looks unreliable, but there are no major problems after one set.As for the reviving tune going to Beijue Mountain——Beijue Mountain has no objection, what can't Dad do?The filial son was very satisfied, he buried his father, and as usual, he gave Yiren a red envelope to avoid bad luck.

Yiren took the red envelope and took a peek inside, seeing a few big boys lying alone inside, suddenly he had a plan.

Without any warning, he howled out "Aww", scaring his dutiful son into a fright: "To tell you the truth, I am going to funeral for your family today. I think of my old father in my hometown."

The filial son was surprised: "Why, is your father also Shoubi Nanshan?"

The ceremonial person took the hand of the filial son, and said in a very eloquent voice that he was not a serious ceremonial person at all, but that his old father was traveling westward, and he was living outside to make a living and failed to be buried in time, and he held a grudge for life.I just happened to pass by this place, and happened to meet your mansion for a funeral, so I couldn't help but want to make up for the grudge, and sing a revival tune to someone else's old father, so I thought it was a gift for my own father.How can there be any reason to accept red envelopes from the family?It's not bad if you don't look for it.

While talking, he quietly tampered with the copper coins.

When the filial son heard it, there are still people who enjoy this thing, so that's a good thing.

Looking at that beautiful man again, although he is sloppy, his eyebrows and eyes are quite neat, and he has a good body.The filial son happily took the red envelope back, and took advantage of the opportunity to touch Yiren's muscular and muscular hand, thinking that even the crescent moon scar on the back of his hand was full of masculinity, so he yelled: "Oh, hello , then the two of us are really in the same disease!"

This dutiful son used to be a little Dan, so I don't know how well he can sing, but his appearance is really not bad.He is male and female, more female than female, and his nickname is "Yanyunliu".

The Snake King is lustful, he doesn't mind meat and vegetables, especially those who love neither meat nor vegetables, and he likes him when he sees him. Hearing his name, he even shouts that he is destined, so he decides to keep it by his side on the spot——"Yanyun Liu" is a popular favorite among Chu people. The title of reincarnated wood, the Snake King does not know why, but he has a special liking for reincarnated wood. It is said that he also enshrined a statue of evil god carved from reincarnated wood in private, saying it was his lucky thing.

Because of this, Yanyun Liu became a celebrity in front of the Snake King, and everyone called her "Ms. Liu".

Liu Niangniang has been favored for several years, she has plenty of money, but she is still very picky.The red envelope returned by the undertaker of the old father's funeral the day before, he didn't think it was bad luck, so he put the money into his pocket, and went to the Immortal Palace to serve him as usual the next day.

Before entering the palace, he took a deep breath - with the face of the Snake King, opening his eyes in the middle of the night can scare people's souls away.Yan Yunliu usually followed the Snake King, and saw that the "immortals" who came from afar each had their own supernatural powers, and each had their own scaring.Appearance is second to none, there is no ugly face in the world that cannot be covered by prosperity, and besides, I am used to seeing it every day without looking up, but the "ugliness" of the immortals is different, each of them has an inhuman aura, Yan Yunliu always thinks I am serving a four-legged snake that can speak human language.

He skillfully adjusted his mentality, straightened his sideburns, squeezed out a smiling face, and walked in slowly.

A breeze brushed the hem of his clothes, branding invisible marks on the path under his feet.

It is night, without stars and moon.

Just after the patrolling in the Immortal Palace had just finished their shift, the mortal guards at the door only heard a "crash" and immediately became motionless as if they were dolls whose souls had been captured.A few figures fell silently, they were the undertakers for Yan Yunliu's father's funeral.

A few assassins went straight past the straight-eyed guards and sneaked into the Immortal Palace. The leader "Yiren" took out a spell from his arms and smashed it in mid-air, leaving a row of faintly visible footprints on the ground.He gestured to his companion, followed the footprints and flew in, and in less than a stick of incense, he touched the main hall of the Immortal Palace.

Fragrant mist curled up in the main hall, filled with Yingge Yanyu, "Yiren" reached into his arms, grabbed a half-struck snow-blue net, and closed his eyes.

The companion lightly bumped his shoulder as if to comfort him.

"Yiren" gritted his teeth to gather his mind, attached all the inspiration to his ears, and listened attentively.

A drunken male voice in the main hall was talking loudly: "...I have not been able to go to the south for the past two years, so take it easy, Xuan Yin is tense. The old lady has fallen into evil ways in her later years, making the local people feel miserable, and she is still in the East China Sea A big event happened, the battle back then, hey, you didn’t see it! How about you show your true qualities as a hero in the face of the sea, and this seat’s wealth was saved at that time..."

The Snake King held a banquet on his own site, and he didn't even cover it up. His snake skin was exposed. He hiccupped while the guests were making fun of him, squinted at the dance floor, and pointed at the most juicy dancer. :"come here."

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the little dancing girl was startled.

Yan Yunliu hurriedly winked at her behind the Snake King, teaching her to laugh.The little dancing girl understood his expression, and tremblingly showed a stiff smile and stepped forward to bless him. Before she could speak, she was dragged by a cold hand.

She only felt that she was sticking to the boa constrictor, seeing the terrifying face of the snake king at a close distance, she trembled uncontrollably.

"What are you shaking?" Snake King gently pinched her chin, and said to her ear, "You danced just now and didn't raise your head once. Why, do you think I'm ugly?"

The little dancer trembled even more, and instinctively closed her eyes.

The rough hands like cold-blooded animals covered her eyelids: "Stupid women who close their eyes when they see my true face, you know what happened to them..."

His voice fell, at this moment, a bright knife light split open the door of the main hall, and the little dancer's choked scream finally cut through the melodious piano sound.

"Bold madman!"

The assassin who fell from the sky sobered up a group of drunken demons and goblins at the banquet. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Yunliu got under the table without saying a word.

I saw that these assassins were not mortals, and for a while, the fairy artifacts and spells echoed in the room, screams and cursing flew together.

Yan Yunliu cautiously emerged from under the table, just as the Snake King spewed a puff of white smoke at the leading assassin.He remembers that white smoke, there was a little girl who dared to cry in front of the Snake King before, half of her face was blown off by this puff of smoke, her facial features melted!

However, seeing that the assassin was blatantly fearless, he pulled out a woodcutter without a handle from his bosom, touched the blade with his palm, and immediately activated the charm on the back of the knife, and the wind of the knife blew the man-eating white smoke Split it open and take the snake king straight.

There was a crescent moon scar on the back of the man's hand - he just touched it the day before!

Isn't this the unreliable Yiren?

Yan Yunliu was taken aback, and shrank back under the table like hell.

The Snake King let out a whistle, and seven or eight evil spirits at the awakening stage jumped into the room, intercepted the assassin, and he turned around and burrowed into the wall.

The "wall" was actually an invisible door.

Several assassins formed an formation, stopped the Snake King's reinforcements, and said to the leader: "Brother Xu, chase after him!"

"Yi Ren" said "Thank you", and chased the snake king into the invisible door.

Once in and out, before he could stand still, he heard "rumbling" sounds from all directions, and a huge spirit beast that had taken off its chains rushed towards him.

"Yiren" went forward with the machete in his hand without dodging, and stabbed the giant beast's bloody mouth with one knife, and the giant beast roared earth-shatteringly.Immediately after he gave a low shout, he threw out a spell, and stuffed it directly into the giant beast's mouth. The aura exploded and opened the giant beast's chest.

He rushed forward according to his inertia, took out a jade stone with many impurities from his arms and melted it into his palm, waiting for him to push away the body of the giant beast.Looking again, the Snake King had disappeared.

This place is a secret room, in the middle of which is enshrined a reincarnated wooden god statue that looks so wretched, with the word "Tai Sui" written on it.

Dangerous inscriptions and magic circles flashed all around.

"Yiren" clenched the hatchet tightly, and rubbed out a spell between his fingers. The spell burned quietly, and the blue light swept across the beam and the ground, revealing countless hidden magic circles and inscriptions... and a row of hurried footprints .

"Yiren" rushed forward with blood, and was about to chase after the footprints. Suddenly, he saw something out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head suddenly—he always felt that the reincarnated wooden statue moved, and seemed to shake his head slightly.

"Yiren" got goosebumps all over his body, raised the charm, and illuminated the face of the Tai Sui statue with a blue light. The statue looked at him quietly with a strange and mysterious smile on its face.

"Yiren" cursed in a low voice: "Pretending to be a ghost."

Then he looked back, followed the footprints without hesitation, and slashed at the wall where the footprints disappeared.

Before the blade fell, he already sensed that something was wrong, there was actually a magic circle that bounced back the aura on the wall, reflecting his blade back in one piece.

Yiren folded back, dodging the saber light, the saber light bounced off the wall, but touched another magic circle.

In a blink of an eye, there were swords and swords in the entire secret room, and "Yiren" grabbed the reincarnated wooden statue in front of him in desperation. During the roll, a half-stretched snow-blue web fell from his waist, and it happened to be wrapped around the statue's wrist. superior.

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded next to his ear: "I tell you it's not over there, watch out for the top of your head."

"Yiren" looked up and saw a huge picture of a ferocious beast on the beam, and the painted ferocious beast came out of the painting and bit him.The man didn't have time to think about it, he hugged the idol and rolled away, and then he heard the voice laughing: "The secret passage is in that thing's mouth, believe it or not."

"what are you?"

The voice replied: "You are so rude—I am what you are."
