Something is wrong with Jian Zun

Because of that sudden and weird idea, when he followed the maid in blue to go upstairs, Chu Zhaoliu didn't dare to take a look at Xie Ming, for fear that Master Jianzun with his venomous eyes would see his sudden illness just now.

Listening to the bamboo building looks exquisite and elegant from the outside, just like an embroidery building. Only when you enter, you will find that there is a hidden cave inside.

The whole building has three floors. Half of the first floor is a place for singing, dancing, feasting and fighting for wits, and the other half is a casino where all the family wealth is spent.

The second floor is relatively quiet. When you step on the stairs, you will suddenly see countless treasures. The shelves that can't be seen at the end are full of magic tools, talismans, pills, array chess, secret methods, and various alchemy alchemy. Materials, even worldly rouge gouache, jewelry and hairpins, are all available.

Those who came to this floor were also much quieter, but half of the space was still separated.

Chu Zhaoliu looked around a few times with great interest: "This is comparable to a treasure."

The maid showed a hint of pride on her face, and said with a smile, "The other end is the auction house. If Mr. Chu is interested, you can also go and have a look."

Chu Zhaoliu's eyes under the mask turned, and his tone raised slightly: "Do you know my surname is Chu?"

The maid obviously knew the identities of the two of them very well, but she was not as afraid of Xie Ming as ordinary people, her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, she pursed her lips and smiled: "To be honest, my master predicted that the two of you would come here a few days ago."

Chu Zhaoliu became interested: "Oh? Your master is also proficient in divination? Interesting."

Chu Zhaoliu and Xie Ming have seen and learned a lot. Although there are many treasures here, they are not so rare that they can attract them to stop. After passing the second floor, the three continue to walk to the third floor.

The third floor is the most private place in Tingzhulou, it is guarded heavily, and only the host invites you to enter.

The maid led the two of them to a room, opened two doors, bowed and stood by the door without following.

In front of it is a fine bead curtain, each of which is precious South China Sea pearls, shining brightly.

Chu Zhaoliu and Xie Ming looked at each other, brushed aside the bead curtain, and walked in.

The ground is covered with a thick soft blanket, and the backflow of the incense burner is like a curtain of waterfalls, slowly infiltrating every trace of air.

Everywhere you look is extravagant, but in the extravagance, there is a bit of elegance.

A clear and clear voice came from behind the gold-painted Yunhe screen: "It can be regarded as coming, Xie Zongzhu, I thought you never planned to come again."

Chu Zhaoliu raised his eyebrows at Xie Ming——Sect Master Xie, the beauty is not shallow, isn't it?

Xie Ming's face was cold, and he responded with an indifferent expression.

The two of them walked around the screen, and behind the screen, there was indeed a young man with a handsome face, wearing only a white jacket, baggy, with his chest half exposed, and his gestures were lazily careless——His eyes were green, like a pair of puddles. Pine emerald, hair color is also light brown, the whole person is a bit more exotic.

It was a foreigner.

Seeing a hint of surprise in Chu Zhaoliu's eyes, the young man poured two cups of tea and saluted, "You two, please sit down."

Beauty is beauty, but it doesn't match Xie Ming's temperament.

With Xie Ming's noble and elegant demeanor, getting together with exotic beauties is very inconsistent.

Chu Zhaoliu evaluated it in his heart, and politely returned a salute: "Thank you. I don't know what the landlord's name is?"

"My surname is Luo. As for my name, as Mr. Chu said, when we meet by chance, what is the importance of the name?" Luo Louzhu's gaze turned to Xie Ming, "Sect Master Xie really did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Find me and tell me to wait."

Chu Zhaoliu's heart skipped a beat.

How do you listen to this meaning, the two seem to have some old relationship?

Chu Zhaoliu thought about it and asked: "I heard that if you want to get something from the landlord, you have to pay the corresponding price?"

Xie Ming's misfortune will not really bring disaster to Lou Zhu, right?

If someone wants to hold Xie Ming down, should he help hold down Xie Ming, or run out for him?

While thinking about this serious question, Master Luo seemed to have seen through Chu Zhaoliu's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Chu is indeed an interesting person, but it's different from what you think. The suzerain saved my life a hundred years ago. I'm only used to what others owe me, and I don't like to owe others. After waiting for so long, I can finally repay it."

Chu Zhaoliu's heart relaxed for no reason, and he walked over to the table and sat down.

Since there is a need for others, it is too disrespectful to talk to people wearing a mask, so he took off the mask casually, smiled at Lord Luo, and said straight to the point: "What we are asking for is not a big deal, it is just a difficult thing. Lord Luo has a thorough reading above. Is the talent of ancient characters?"

The eyebrows and eyes under the mask were so well formed, Luo Louzhu couldn't help but take a second look: "Master Chu, it's better to see once than to hear a hundred times. I suddenly feel a little regretful. I should ask Mr. Chu a little bit."

There was a bit of ambiguity in his voice, and he looked very romantic.

Xie Ming cast a cold glance, sat down next to Chu Zhaoliu, and said in a cold voice, "Lord Luo is very romantic, you'd better stay away from him."

Only Xie Ming could do it in such a straightforward manner in front of others.

Luo Louzhu is not annoyed: "You must be happy to be happy in life. Don't wait for no flowers and broken branches. What I ask for is your love and my wish. Why did it come to Sect Master Xie? Going to Wushan is the best thing, if you don’t like it, I won’t force it.”

Ming Hong buzzed around Xie Ming's waist.

The little chubby bird in the sleeve poked its head out, chirping and chirping.

Xie Ming glanced at Chu Zhaoliu indifferently, and said in a somewhat unpredictable tone, "Are you willing?"

Chu Zhaoliu: "..."

Why did it look like he was really going to abandon his wife and son.

He silently shrank away from Xie Ming, smiled and refused bluntly: "I'm not happy."

"It's a pity." Lou Zhu sighed, and returned to the topic, "Ancient characters? Well, I know a person who has studied ancient secret methods and has a lot of experience in ancient characters. He can read ancient texts, which should meet the requirements of the two of you. "

Really?

Chu Zhaoliu's eyes brightened slightly, and his complexion became even more attractive: "Who is it? Where is it?"

Xie Ming suddenly raised his hand, but without seeing any movement, the two of them reversed their positions, and Chu Zhaoliu was moved to the back, covering his face vaguely.

Master Luo smiled sullenly: "Sect Master Xie actually had such an impatient day—that person is not from my building, but he has a little friendship with me, and occasionally helps Ting Zhulou with some errands. It’s hard to find a place. But the two of you came by coincidence. He came to me a few days ago, and I happened to know where he is. The distance is a little far away. I asked Xiaoying’er to set up a teleportation array, and the next two will teleport there directly. good.

It would be great if he could find someone, Chu Zhaoliu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then thank you, the host."

Master Luo couldn't see Chu Zhaoliu anymore, and his eyes widened on Xie Ming's face again, and he suddenly smiled strangely: "Sect Master Xie, I actually admire your face very much, I don't know..."

With a sound of "Zheng", Ming Hong got out of the sheath in response.

Xie Ming looked at him blankly: "What do you want to ask?"

Lou Zhu: "Thank you, I'm wilting, please put away your sword."

Although you can't touch it, you can enjoy it just by looking at it. The host Luo is not embarrassed, and he sipped his tea calmly: "My life, just such a news is not worth it. Give it to the two of you."

Xie Ming pushed Minghong back into the sheath, and raised his eyes slightly.

Lou Zhu said: "Moxiu has been acting a lot lately, it seems that it is because of Huajianmen's Que Xinluo who has escaped from the customs—don't blame me for using 'seems', the lives of his subordinates are also fate, if you look closer, you should be gone. But I think it’s more or less the same.”

Chu Zhaoliu rubbed the fingertips of the teacup for a while.

The deterrent power of the name Que Xinluo is no less than that of Xie Ming.

Moxiu has stayed in Xizhou honestly for a hundred years because the dragons have no leader.

And this dragon head deserves to be Que Xinluo.

Huajianmen, the number one sect of magic cultivators, was once a big cloud hanging over Zhengdao's head.

Que Xinluo, the master of the Huajian Gate, is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. Most of the monks at the same time as him have already passed away, and those who are still alive cannot beat him.

Back then when the demon clan was powerful, the demon king would not go out of his way to provoke Que Xinluo.

Moreover, before the battle between the monsters and humans, Xie Ming fought with Que Xinluo and lost.

But it's not hard to lose.

At that time Xie Ming wasn't even a hundred years old, not to mention defeating Que Xinluo, it was already a legend to survive against a thousand-year-old monster.

This old monster suddenly disappeared more than 70 years ago, and even the entire Huajianmen kept a low profile. It was heard that it was about to reach the end of its lifespan and was trying to break through.

On the contrary, during this period, righteous talents emerged, with Chu Wen and Gu Junyi in the north, and Yan Zhuchen and Tan Yuan in the south. If you pick any one, it is difficult for the younger generation of demon cultivators to match them.

What's more, there is a monster-like Xie Ming.

Moxiu had to swallow his anger. Over the past hundred years, he had made a lot of small troubles, but he had never really stepped out of Xizhou, and dared not really start a war with Zhengdao.

If Que Xinluo really escaped, it means that this old monster has probably broken through successfully.

If the devil who was known as No. 1 among the immortals in the past reappeared in the world, and now there is no demon clan to restrain him, it would be strange if he did not become chaotic.

Chu Zhaoliu was a little lost in thought.

He knew something about Huajianmen, but not because of Que Xinluo.

It was because of Gu Junyi.

Gu Junyi defected to Fuyue Sect more than 70 years ago, and there was a lot of trouble back then, saying everything, but Fuyue Sect never recognized Gu Junyi's so-called defection, and welcomed Gu Junyi back from top to bottom. Home.

As for the truth about Gu Junyi's defection, even Chu Zhaoliu, a pure-blooded junior, only knew that it was related to Huajianmen.

On the other hand, it is rumored in Lingtongyu that Gu Junyi fell in love with Moxiu and defected, and Chu Wen asked where he needs to move. This love triangle is so far the swan song.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaoliu got a headache, recovered his senses and rubbed his forehead, poked Xie Ming's back curiously: "Sect Master Xie, you lost to Que Xinluo a hundred years ago, what about now?"

Xie Ming sat upright, and said in a calm tone, "I can win."

Then it will be fine.

Chu Zhaoliu continued drinking tea leisurely.

Luo Lou called out to give orders, and looked at the two of them with his chin: "Young Master Chu trusts Sect Master Xie very much."

"That's natural." The tea in the cup was fragrant and sweet, and Chu Zhaoliu couldn't help but take another sip before saying, "Our Sect Master Xie never lies. If we say we can win, then we will definitely win."

Master Luo asked amusedly: "Then what will Mr. Chu do if Sect Master Xie says you can't?"

"If he can't win, then I will win."

After Chu Zhaoliu finished speaking lightly, he put down the teacup: "It's really good tea, thank you for your hospitality."

Luo Louzhu was slightly shocked, and couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Chu, both in appearance and temperament, are very appetizing to me, it's a pity."

They shook their arms, their temper was good, and they didn't reach out to hit the smiling face. Chu Zhaoliu comforted him: "After all, I'm not an ordinary person, and it's normal that you can't get it. Even gods can't get things, let alone mortals, relax." Heart."

Master Luo: "Hahahahaha! I really like you more and more, Mr. Chu!"

Xie Ming put down the teacup and said with a bang in a deep voice, "It's time to go."

Not only was Lou Lou not afraid of his cold face, but he laughed even louder, passed him and threw a ball of paper to Chu Zhaoliu: "This is where the man is, and you two can find it by walking out of the teleportation array."

After a pause, he blinked mysteriously: "I guess Mr. Chu will be very pleasantly surprised."

It was a little strange that Chu Zhao exiled the ball of paper, but he didn't ask much.

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find someone.

After drinking the tea and getting the news, Chu Zhaoliu got up and brushed off the wrinkles on his sleeves: "Major Xie Zong can't sit still, so let's take a step first."

Luo Louzhu still sat on the chair, motionless, not ready to send him off, looked at the backs of the two leaving, and suddenly spoke again: "For the sake of Mr. Chu's appetite, I would like to remind you just now. The "Jianjian Jun" you met downstairs is the brother of Mu Dian, the master craftsman who recast Minghong, and Mu Zhen's closed disciple. Their brothers and sisters have had a falling out for many years. Xiuli is quite famous, you have already offended him with the sword you folded just now."

Chu Zhaoliu nodded indifferently: "Oh, thank you."

It's not that he hates evil so much, it's just that he doesn't like Zhejian Jun, who, relying on his higher spiritual power and condescendingly, insists on stepping on someone with lower spiritual power than himself.

It's not wrong to look down on a flower, but if you insist on stepping on it, that's his fault.

Do you have the ability to provoke Xie Ming?

Lord Luo glanced at Xie Ming who was looking at Chu Zhaoliu casually, with his head tilted slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

He really bothered.

This Mr. Chu just let go of his bold words just now, let alone Xie Ming beside him.

The two bid farewell to Lord Luo again, and when they went out, the maid in green was already waiting outside, and as before, led the two of them down the stairs through another road, and went around to the backyard of Tingzhulou.

It can be seen from here that the Tingzhu Building shrouded in the vast white mist seems to be on a mountain, and the backyard is full of tall and straight bamboos. Sitting in the bamboo pavilion and watching quietly, it does not live up to the name "listening to the bamboo building".

The temporarily drawn one-way teleportation array is next to the bamboo forest. Before the teleportation array was launched, the maid in green clothes respectfully handed Chu Zhaoliu a jade tablet: "My master said, if Mr. Chu has anything else to do next time, you can rely on this." Yupai found the person from Tingzhulou, and came here to draw a formation for you. The master also said that this time he repaid the life-saving grace of Sect Master Xie, and if you come back next time, please be prepared to pay the corresponding price."

Under Xie Ming's disapproving gaze, Chu Zhaoliu took the jade plaque and put it away, and smiled slightly: "Thank you master for me."

Before he could speak again, Xie Ming tapped his toes, injected spiritual energy, and activated the formation.

A burst of light flashed in front of his eyes, and after a slight sense of weightlessness, there were loud voices in his ears.

"You seem impatient today?"

Chu Zhaoliu opened his eyes, looked at Xie Ming strangely, saw that he was ignoring him, and resentfully took out the note Luo Louzhu gave him and spread it out.

The handwriting on it should be written by Lou Zhu himself, which is unexpectedly... ugly.

Crooked handwriting, the first two characters read:

Xizhou.

……very good.

They were sent directly to the territory of the demon cultivator.

Chaotic city.

It sounds like a mess.

Streets, alleys.

……

Chu Zhaoliu said slowly, "Is he joking?"

Xie Ming sneered slightly: "I told you that he is not a good person."

Chu Zhaoliu had no time to think about whether the host Luo was a good person, staring at the word "street and alley", he was really confused.

The one wandering around in the streets and alleys, could it be a beggar?

This is a deep and winding alley, and walking outside leads to the street. With the ears of the two of them, they can hear bursts of cheers coming from the street.

Everyone has come, and someone has to be found.

Chu Zhaoliu put away the note: "No way, let's go see what's going on outside first."

Although Xizhou is the site of demon cultivators, it is not as miasma-filled and barren as described in the orthodox classics. There are even many cities for ordinary people. The streets are much more prosperous than the cities to the west of the haze.

It's just that they are mostly under the control of demon cultivators, and they also have a bit of demon cultivator's ethos. Carrying a sharpened stone when making trouble is more like playing with one's life than playing with it.

Not far ahead, there was a circle of people surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and they didn't know what was going on inside.

Chu Zhaoliu suddenly had a premonition: "I think the person we are looking for is inside!"

After finishing speaking, he was ready to rush in with great interest. Seeing that Xie Ming didn't respond, he hesitated for a moment, fearing that the little fat bird would make a surprise attack through his sleeve, so he grabbed Xie Ming's slightly cool hand and got into the crowd.

The feeling of warm skin came unexpectedly, Xie Mo was slightly taken aback, pursed his lips, and let him pull him over.

Although there were many people, they couldn't stop them. Chu Zhaoliu walked straight to the front like a dragon swimming in the water, and no one got a piece of his clothes.

The scene inside was finally revealed.

A blind Taoist with a white cloth covering his eyes sat cross-legged in the middle, holding a cloth banner, and was telling fortunes to someone.

There was another burst of applause from the surroundings: "He made the calculation again. Li Ergou did fall in Zhang's tavern yesterday and eat shit. He broke an adult's drink and was beaten up!"

"This blind man has some real kung fu."

Chu Zhaoliu paused, staring at the magic stick who was muttering, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly showed a cold smile.

The magic stick seemed to have sensed something, and his fingertips stopped suddenly, and then he didn't want the cloth banner, and he jumped up in a smooth manner: "There are still important things to do today, so let's get here, folks and elders, see you some other day——"

At the end of the voice, the person has drifted away.

It's a pity that they bumped into Chu Zhaoliu and Xie Ming, the possibility of escaping is too low.

The blind Taoist had just rushed onto the roof of a residential house when a light suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xie Ming's clothes, Bai Shengxue, fell in front of him like the first frost.

Before there was a tiger.

Familiar footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a faint greeting with gnashing of teeth: "Where do you want to go? Second, teacher, brother."

Then there are wolves.

Realizing the inevitable situation of ascension to heaven, the magic stick was silent for a while, sighed, and helplessly tore off the white cloth that pretended to be tied around the eyes, and said brightly: "Don't come here without any harm, little brother?"

The author has something to say:

Xie Ming, Minghong, Jiujiu: I have to find a way to get rid of this Luo.

Does Gu Junyi need directions? If so, Chapter 1←
