Chapter Twenty-Seven: Bait the Demon King
Two days later, the East China Sea Chifeng Rock.
A sea boat about 30 zhang long is moored on the sea, and the sail is depicted with a three-legged divine bird that is flapping its wings and flying, which is the flag of the Yin clan of Sanyangyu walking on the sea.
Zhang Yan stood at the bow of the boat, seeing the sky as clear as washing, the blue waves in front of him, the flying fish leaping waves, and from time to time three or two birds chirping and skimming low, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and a middle-aged steward with a loyal appearance hurriedly ran up and said respectfully: "What do you have to call the villain?"
Zhang Yan asked without looking back, "Why are you staying here?"
The steward hesitated for a moment, as if embarrassed, and explained: "Back to the honored guest, the old lady in the house has a few descendants of old friends who need to go to the open sea, and they will also be able to go on this ship, and please wait for half a day." ”
After saying that, although he was apprehensive in his heart, he was not afraid.
He had been instructed by Steward Qiu in advance, as long as he said so, because of the old lady's signboard, even if the other party saw through it, he would not immediately turn his face.
But this move undoubtedly offended people, but Steward Qiu didn't know Zhang Yan's origin, so he wouldn't think about it so much, if he knew that he was a true disciple of the Mingcang faction, he wouldn't have been so casually involved.
Zhang Yan stood there and didn't move, but the steward didn't know Weishenme, and he had an inexplicable feeling of fright.
Zuihou only heard a faint voice in his ear, "Just wait two hours." ”
When the steward heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly arched his hand, and withdrew as if he had been pardoned. It's like prostration. His face was pale, and he shivered, took out a white handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
He smiled bitterly, and stood at the stern of the boat again, where he craned his neck and waited, hoping that the single lady would come soon.
Finally, he was lucky, and an hour later, a red cloud appeared in the distance in the sky, and there were more than fifty young men and women standing on it like fairy couples.
The crowd was huge. The flying incense car in front of the road, the maids on the left and right sides carried the mirror box flower basket, among which there was a cloud couch, the umbrella covered the tent with white yarn, and the golden bell hung on the corner, among which a woman was faintly seen.
The steward couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Shan Niangzi is the head disciple of the Pengyuan faction, which is really extraordinary. ”
When the cloud reached the stern, he hurriedly took a few steps back, bowed down and said, "Shan Niangzi, in Xia Jingshu." On Erlang's orders, he has been waiting for a long time. ”
A handmaiden, with a delicate face, leaned in front of the tent and whispered a few words, where the woman seemed to say something, and the handmaiden nodded. stood up and said crisply: "The lady has a life......
"Slow!"
At this moment, a young monk standing on a fusiform magic vessel stood up, he first bowed his hand to the woman in the curtain tent, and then said to the steward of the scene: "Shan Niangzi is clear and jade, and she can't be filthy, I will ask you." Have you swept the boat clean, but have there been idle people mixed in?"
This person's name is Yang Bingqing, a guest under the Demon Throne in the East China Sea, and Yin Zhijun has never dealt with him, he knows that this Yin Erlang's status in the clan is not very good, and he said that he was going to take a sea boat out, and originally thought he was bragging. Now that seeing is believing and being able to please Shan Niangzi, he is inevitably uncomfortable, so he immediately jumped out to pick a thorn, but he was right, so the attendant just glanced at him and did not stop him.
Steward Jing was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This honored guest, except for a few miscellaneous boatmen, there is no one else on this ship. ”
Yang Bingqing said with a smile: "Whether there is or not, it's not up to you to decide, you need to send someone to search it." ”
Steward Jing was about to speak, when a soft voice came from the curtain tent: "Yin Erlang has done the slave family a great favor this time, and the slave family will also give him and the Yin family a little face, so forget it." ”
Yang Bingqing had to say a few more words, but the cloud couch had already been lifted up and walked to the pavilion on the boat, and he couldn't help but snort.
Steward Jing secretly wiped a cold sweat and called it lucky.
"Thank you Senior Brother Yang for escorting you all the way, but when you get to the sea boat, my lady has me and others to take care of her, so Senior Brother Yang will please go back." ”
After taking two steps, the handsome maid suddenly stopped in front of Yang Bingqing, with a look of send-off. ..., the smile on Yang Bingqing's face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said: "Then Yang will wish Shan Niangzi a smooth journey." ”
The maidservant saluted him, and then he paid no more attention to him, and turned and went into the attic of the boat.
Yang Bingqing saw the ship slowly driving away, and gradually turned into a black spot in his sight, his face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he changed to a gloomy tone, and said: "Hmph, Shan Huizhen, you are high now, in a few days, when the Qiao Demon King takes your Yuan Yin, he will transfer you to me, and then I want to see how you wag your tail and beg for mercy in front of me." ”
He laughed wildly, recited a mantra in his mouth, and pointed to the sky, and a short sword turned into a white light and flew into the sky.
He looked at it a few more times, then stepped on the magic weapon and turned to leave.
After all kinds of ornaments and tables were arranged, Shan Niangzi unveiled the gauze tent and sat down on the couch in the pavilion.
She has a very beautiful face, pink cheeks and eyebrows, skin like porcelain and jade, cherry lips like Danzhu, although she is a little charming, but her eyes are very pure, and she said softly at this moment: "Xiu'er, the manager of Shicaijing seems to have something to say, you go and invite him in." "Yes, lady. ”
The maidservant turned around and went out, and after a while, she brought in the steward Jing.
After standing in the room, Steward Jing took out a letter, handed it over with both hands, and said, "This is what Erlang ordered me to hand over to Shan Niangzi."
After the maidservant took it and handed it over to Shan Niangzi, she looked through it and said softly: "Yin Erlang is polite, the slave family is just borrowing this Yin family's sea boat for use, how dare they claim to be the master and drive away the guests of the Yin family? ”
To be honest, when Steward Qiu asked him to handle this matter, he knew that if there was a conflict between the two parties, the black pot still wanted him to carry it, and now it was finally fine, and it was okay to survive this month, and bowed to Shan Niangzi. Slowly retreated.
The maid took a look. looked at Shan Niangzi again, and then chased out, chattering outside the door and not knowing what to say to the steward of Najing, after a while, she turned around angrily. He said angrily: "Lady, Yin Erlang is not authentic, he obviously said in advance that this sea boat was borrowed from us, and there are still people who come to take the same boat." ”
Shan Niangzi smiled. Said: "What does the letter say that this is the guest of Master Yin, he Yin Zhijun is not easy to shirk, and begs me not to be embarrassed by that guest, I think this letter must not be written by him, if it is the second lang of the Yin family, how can he give up this face to share with me?"
The maid agreed: "The lady is right, the most important thing for the Yin family Erlang is to die and don't want the lady to underestimate him, according to Xiu'er, the person on this boat may not be the son and nephew of the Yin family." ”
Shan Niangzi sighed softly. Said: "I went to sea with great fanfare this time, and I used myself as bait to lure out the Jiukui Demon King, this demon king has a strong mana, and his five doppelgangers don't know which one will come this time." Even if I have a magic weapon to help, I may not be able to kill him, this matter should not implicate others, the guest of the Yin family, Xiu'er, you go and say hello, if there is no problem. Let him go,"
Xiu'er's eyes rolled, revealing a cunning look, and said, "Don't worry, lady, Xiu'er will do it well." ”
Shan Niangzi frowned, and said with a straight face: "Xiu'er, you can't come nonsense." If this guest of the Yin family is a serious cultivator, you can persuade him with good words. ”
Xiu'er responded: "Don't worry, lady, Xiu'er has already inquired clearly from the Jing manager, this person is alone, and he didn't even bring a retinue, it's very shabby, it's a big deal, I'll give him some Lingbei, if it's a smart person, he will definitely accept it and leave obediently, and then change to a sea boat, if it weren't for Ken, the lady would have done her best, and life and death only depend on the destiny of heaven." ”
Shan Niangzi smiled lightly and teased: "My Xiu'er is much more sensible. ”
Xiu'eryu blushed and said, "I've been following the lady for a long time, and I've learned a little bit." ”
Shan Niangzi waved her hand lightly and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”
Xiu'er bowed and retreated, and went out of the attic, and as soon as the steward inquired, she walked to Zhang Yan's residence, and when she reached the door, she said loudly: "Mr. is there?"
Zhang Yan's clear voice came from inside, and said, "Who is outside?"
Xiu'er said: "My lady and husband are in the same boat, so I sent a little maid to say hello." ..., Zhang Yan said: "Your lady has a heart, and she will greet me on my behalf." ”
Xiu'er pouted and said, "Sir, can you open the door and see, my lady has something for me to bring to Sir." ”
The door opened without wind, Xiu'er raised her eyes to look, but saw a bamboo curtain in front of her, a young Taoist sitting on the couch, and couldn't see her face clearly, she didn't enter the house, so she took out a jade box from the sachet and put it down, and said: "My lady said, this goes to the open sea, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, and the undercurrent is turbulent. ”
With that, she saluted and turned away.
Xiu'er returned to the cabin after a short time, and Shan Niangzi asked softly, "How is this person?"
Xiu'er is just a maid, her cultivation is low, and she has not yet opened her pulse, but she only judges the other party's cultivation by virtue of her own experience, and she usually sees it very accurately, but Zhang Yan's cultivation is too much higher than her, not to mention through a roll of bamboo curtains, she can't see through his depth in front of her face.
However, she usually knows that none of those young monks who have advanced cultivation are not hugging each other in front and back, and there is a lot of pomp and circumstance, Zhang Yan is just alone, and he borrowed the Yin family's boat to go to sea, and he took it for granted that this person's cultivation is not very good, so he said: " Lady, just an ordinary monk, cultivation may not be as good as Xiu'er me, I have put down the thousand spirit shells, and he also ordered a few words in his words, if he is a smart person, he should know what to do, if it is an elm head, he will not leave, and if something happens, it is no wonder that I wait. ”
Since she is just an ordinary monk, Shan Niangzi didn't care about it, nodded and said: "Xiu'er, you have done a good job, if you can successfully kill the Nine Kui Demon King this time, the teacher will pass on my ** and become one of the four disciples in the sect, and then I will be qualified to let you get started." ”
Xiu'er was overjoyed when she heard this, but her eyes turned red for some reason, and she knelt down and said: "It's still the lady who is good to Xiu'er, and Xiu'er will definitely repay the lady desperately." ”
