Volume 1: The Taiping Bureau (Part I) Chapter 91, Afterhand Calculations
If it is said that the feeling of splitting the wind into the Xuanmen before the night is shocking, then the last knife is undoubtedly domineering.
After the knife, the whole ring was dead silent, and there were no waves, only the footsteps of the night.
When Ye Lu took back the spoils of war and woke up from the fixed situation, Feng Tielu's face was full of excitement, as if he had drunk chicken blood, he rushed to the front of the meditation bed with an arrow step, grabbed his shoulders, and shook for a while, as if he was eager to eat Ye Yan, and his excitement was indescribable.
Zhao Jia also stared at the copper bell-like eyes, and opened his arms with a strange scream, and threw both of them down on the bed with a flying body.
Both of them were too excited, this battle was full of dangers, and it was extremely difficult to win, which can be said to be a shame.
The three of them shouted and screamed, and they were very happy.
Qingfeng watched from the sidelines, shaking his head helplessly and smiling.
Sometimes, he felt that he could see through the night, such as a few tentative encounters in the purple bamboo forest of the Buddha country.
But other times, he is confused.
Nightshade gave him a conflicted feeling.
One moment like a treacherous and slippery old thief, the other like a child.
Such a person can only be described as a "monster".
Qingfeng defined Yesu in his heart, and he didn't bother the three of them anymore, turned around and left.
……
On the other side, in the luxurious private room, the atmosphere has dropped to freezing.
Zhao Chengqian, Han Si, and Liu Dizhi all looked as if they had just been fished out of the ice cave, and their faces were bloodless.
Especially Zhao Chengqian, his mind was still flashing with a glance at Ye Yu just now.
From Ye Yu's eyes, he saw an indescribable murderous aura.
It was even more terrifying than the most ferocious demonic beast he had ever seen in Wuping Mountain, and it was definitely not pretended.
In his memory, he only happened to see him once when he strayed into the forbidden land of the Zhao family when he was a child and bumped into his ancestor and maidservant.
Zhao Chengqian forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, no matter how he thought about it, he felt strange, and muttered in a low voice: "The end is definitely not a night drink, someone must be playing behind the ghost, there must be something wrong here."
Liu Dizhi stretched his neck, sneaked a glance at Fan Yan, who had been sitting on the chair in a daze, and said to Zhao Chengqian: "Could it be that he used the Dream Grass to take up everything in advance?" ”
Han Si drooped his head like a frosted eggplant, and said, "It must be, this is a trap"
Liu Dizhi's eyes rolled slightly: "Then we will block them now, and we will get the stolen goods, and see what else they have to say."
When Zhao Chengqian heard this, he thought it was an idea, but before he could speak, Fan Yan was already furious.
"Idiot! Get out of here! ”
Fan Yan was furious, and suddenly smashed several cases beside him with one palm, and drove all three of them out.
No one knows better than him that it was a night just now, and it could never be someone else.
But everyone in the world has the psychology of self-deception.
In fact, he was very reluctant to admit it, and he had to admit it.
And he was scared that the flash on the field just now was real.
Now it's not just the fact that Ye Mo cultivates far above him, but also the question of where the golden inscription of the Protector Dao that Ye Mo has comes from.
Reversing the world is the protector of the demon monk Huai'an.
He had been taught it when he was still alive.
And Ye Mo is now the lamp holder of Liulitian.
If there was another hidden story in the great change in the ancient city that night, Huai'an did not die with Huaigen, but was killed by the young man in front of him, or he was the heir of Huai'an's mantle.
Either way, it wasn't someone he could provoke.
What he can't figure out the most now is why he suddenly came up with the idea of taking some benefits from Ye Yan, he obviously knew that Ye Yan was the son of the Iron Bone Sword Saint Zhang Linghan, and his cultivation was bound to be good, and he had seen him defeat Gu Fengxian's old stubbornness, but he still felt that this idea was feasible.
After recalling the whole process of meeting Yeyu several times, the more Fan Yan thought about it, the more strange he felt.
He has always been cautious in his work, and it is rare for such obvious mistakes to occur.
But today, he made a big mistake in his head and lost three golden beads containing the comprehension of the three styles of the sword path of Wentian, and he had just woken up from a dream and realized the problem.
Fan Yan suddenly thought of a possibility and felt a shudder.
……
Outside the palace.
It's not that enemies don't get together.
As soon as Yeyu, Feng Tielu, and Zhao Jia came out of the door, they ran into Zhao Chengqian and his wife.
But the mentality and the situation have been completely reversed.
Zhao Chengqian, who was complacent and confident earlier, has completely lost his confidence, and they are all holding on to their waists, deliberately pretending to lose the battle without losing people.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all sneered.
Feng Tielu was often blinded and bullied by these arrogant rich children in the school when he was a child, and this time he finally seized the opportunity, deliberately raised his voice, and shouted: "Hey, Zhao Jia, who said that there are people outside the people in the morning, and there are mountains outside the mountains?" ”
Zhao Jia shook his head: "It's not me"
Ye Mo also shrugged: "It's not me either"
Feng Tielu knocked on his head: "Strange thing, could it be that I heard it wrong?" ”
Han Si on the opposite side was the first to lose his breath, and said angrily: "You guys are cheating, if you have the courage to make a move here, see who the bear is"
The corners of Feng Tielu's mouth hooked slightly: "Come on, but do you have the ability to gamble?" ”
Zhao Chengqian slapped Han Si hard, and his eyes swept over the three of them coldly: "Don't be complacent, I will get this account back sooner or later, let's see"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Feng Tielu smiled, "Miscellaneous pieces"
Liu Dizhi was just about to turn around, but suddenly stopped and said angrily: "What did you say? ”
Feng Tielu rolled his eyes: "What's the matter with you, I'm hungry and want to drink choppy soup, what's the matter, you can do this?" ”
Liu Dizhi gritted his teeth secretly, his face turned blue with anger, if it was morning, he would have to do it, but now that he was on the side, he didn't dare to try it after all.
The three of them walked away in disgrace.
Looking at their backs, Feng Tielu laughed: "Zhao Jia, look ahead, there seem to be three dogs."
Zhao Jia said: "How can there be, it's all two-legged"
Feng Tielu sighed slightly: "Don't you see that the goods are pretending to be people?" ”
Zhao Jia suddenly said: "Oh, it's really, no wonder a person looks like a dog."
……
A "catastrophe" with mental calculation and unintentional intentions, with the concerted efforts of the three teenagers, finally ended in a happy way.
At the initiative of Feng Monkey, the three of them left the Huale Gambling House and came to the Drunken Immortal Residence in Dongcheng to rub together.
During the banquet, it is inevitable to talk about the gains and losses in the competition.
Ye Yu can be said to know everything, and he has said everything, and he carefully analyzed the number of exercises of their respective opponents and the methods of breaking the enemy.
Hearing Feng and Zhao's empowerment, they admired him so much.
And when Yeyu said the accomplice behind Zhao Chengqian, both of them were so surprised that they were speechless for a long time.
Feng Tielu was so angry that he burst a wine glass and counted the eighteen generations of his ancestors surnamed Zhao.
But they couldn't figure out how Zhao Chengqian invited Fan Yan.
Ye Yu asked the two of them to keep this matter in mind, be careful to guard against Yan, and try not to go out of the city in the near future, so as not to be secretly calculated by Zhao Chengqian.
Feng Tielu and Zhao Jia were not Bai Ding, and they also knew the stakes, so they nodded one after another.
In the end, Ye Mo mentioned that he needed a few soul-sending incense, but of course he didn't say what he really used it for, he just said that he was going to do a private job.
Feng Tielu didn't say a word, he directly took out a incense box from his satchel and handed it to him, so that Ye Yan could use it.
Ye Yu learned from Chen Blind that the soul incense burns for a very long time, one usually burns for about two months, and when he saw that there were three in the box, it was estimated that it was enough.
The three of them chatted until the evening, and then came out of the drunken immortal residence and went back to their homes.
……
Ye Yan estimated that after this battle, Zhao Chengqian would be able to stop for a while, but he was a little unsure of what Fan Yan would do.
Fortunately, yesterday, in order to prevent Zhao Chengqian's fraud, he had retrieved the Buddha lamp from Liulitian and kept it for later.
Otherwise, he would have been a little worried about turning the tower prison now.
Now, his escape plan is only one step away from success, faster than he expected, as long as he can get the Zhenling Pill, he can start the operation, and everything depends on whether Fan Yan, the head snake, will come to him after suffering a loss.
Whether he is coming to sing literary opera or playing martial arts, as long as he dares to come, Ye Yu has a countermeasure, and if he is afraid that he will not come, then this matter must be considered in the long run.
However, it soon became clear that the worry was a bit unnecessary.
As soon as he returned to the top floor, he saw Fan Yan waiting at the door of the cell.
Seeing that his expression was solemn and he didn't have any helpers by his side, Yeyu already knew it in his heart.
Cell.
At night, he lit the oil lamp, asked Fan Yan to sit down, and gave him another cup of tea.
This time, he didn't deliberately pretend to be ignorant, nor did he put on a posture and put on a high-ranking appearance, but just looked at Fan Yan with calm eyes, wondering what he would say.
It's just that this kind of performance fell in Fan Yan's eyes but was misinterpreted as another meaning, which made this tower thief who was usually used to being high above feel humiliated, and his face was covered with a gloomy color, like the sky when the wind and snow were about to come.
There is no subtle politeness in the dialogue, everything is straight to the point.
Fan Yan said coldly: "Do we have a grudge? ”
Nightmuffle shook her head.
"Then why are you counting me?"
"I should have asked you that."
Fan Yan frowned and was silent for a while.
Ye Yu looked at him suspiciously, a little unclear.
The Sichuan character between Fan Yan's eyebrows couldn't help but become a little deeper, and the words suddenly changed: "You won my three gold beads, there are half of my family funds in them, I want to get them back, you can put forward conditions"
"Three Soul Boosting Pills"
Fan Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Yan to answer so quickly, he sneered: "Premeditated? ”
Yeyu shook his head: "Temporary intention"
Fan Yan suddenly sneered: "Change conditions, Zhenling Pill is a secret medicine in Taiping City, each one has a file, smugglers, there is no forgiveness for killing, if I help you, there will be no way to live, and besides, you are going to commit a crime now, even if you give it to you, it is useless, you can't escape."
Nightshade shook her head slowly.
A hint of coldness flashed in Fan Yan's knife-like eyes, and he pressed his right hand on the table, and said coldly: "Don't force me, at such a close distance, even if you are a Seven Realms Grandmaster, you may not be able to dodge my sword."
"Yes, but I promise you'll die too"
Ye Yu replied slowly, looked calm, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea with his head up.
Fan Yan looked at the young man in front of him who had a great contrast between inside and outside, the chill in his eyes increased, and the aura around his body suddenly became extremely sharp, like a three-inch sword out of the box, implying thunderbolt lightning.
But at this critical moment, Ye Yan suddenly asked him a question, which made Fan Yan freeze there.
"Isn't the revenge of the Fan family's three fingers avenged?"
Fan Yan's face changed for a while.
He had to admit that he was not sure that he would kill Ye Yu with one blow, and in the face of the young man who cultivated above him, he would not have a chance to retreat.
And he is not one of those death row inmates in the tower prison who dares to fight for his life in order to see a day of sunshine.
He has weaknesses and obsessions that he can't let go.
The words of the night are right to the point.
Capture the thief first capture the king, and hit the snake and hit seven inches.
Seeing him get up, Yelu said coldly: "Give you three days"
The corners of Fan Yan's mouth trembled, and for the first time, he was deflated on his own turf, and turned around and left silently.
Ye Yu watched it disappear outside the door, and after a long time, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before his tense nerves could be fully relieved, the silence outside the porch was broken by a voice that sounded emotionless and cold.
Phantom Bamboo, dressed in black, suddenly appeared at the door of the cell, like a ghost floating out of the dark shadows.
"He can't be trusted"
Ye Yu was startled, and her eyes immediately narrowed into a slit.
During the period of being locked up in the tower prison, if there was anyone who made him feel particularly jealous, it was the wooden girl in front of him, every time he had her by his side, he had to tighten his heartstrings all the time, for fear of leaking his heart, but he didn't expect her to appear at this moment today.
"Let's work together and get out of here together"
Phantom bamboo goes straight to the point, and the words are amazing.
The expression on her face was still as cold as the cold moon in the sky, but her eyes were no longer gray and misty, with a hidden look and focus.
Ye Yu mentioned it in her heart, she didn't expect that Phantom Bamboo would hide such an idea, but when she thought of her background, she was immediately surprised.
"What did you hear?"
"It doesn't matter"
Phantom Zhu shook his head, slowly walked into the cell, closed the door lightly with his backhand, and continued: "Compared to the three gold beads, Fan Yan cares more about his current status in Taiping City, but this kind of coercion is not enough to make him take risks."
Ye Yu secretly regretted that he was negligent, and he didn't pay attention to the ear of the partition wall, but he was stabbed, but he felt that Phantom Bamboo's analysis made some sense.
He looked her in the eye: "How do you want to cooperate?" ”
"With his personality, he will definitely turn his face and disown people after trading with you, and I can help you steal the Zhenling Pill from him"
As he spoke, Phantom Bamboo slowly pulled open his neckline, revealing a touch of scenery on his chest.
"And then?"
"You give me back the three hanging money, I will take you into the City God Temple, and you will take me out of here"
Ye Yu was slightly stunned, not because Phantom Bamboo wanted to seduce Fan Yan's suggestion, but because she didn't expect her to know that he had death money in his hand.
The conditions sound good, but working with someone whose origin is a mystery and who doesn't know the depth of his work is an adventure in itself, and at such a time, the slightest negligence can lead to the loss of all his plans, or even his life.
He thought for a few breaths, and suddenly understood why Fan Yan came up to ask such a question, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, if everything that happened before was the secret calculation of the wooden girl in front of him, it would be terrible.
But before he could open his mouth to ask, the Muna girl had already shook her head: "It's just a boat pushing down the river."
Ye Yan sneered, "Thank you for the reminder, but I can use other methods to stabilize him, Fan Yan is not only lustful, but also a martial idiot, his family heirloom Tiansanshi has weaknesses, and I can help him go to the next level, why do I have to cooperate with you?" ”
Phantom Bamboo fell silent, secretly measured the words of the night, took out a cyan mirage from his waist, and put it on the table.
Ye Yu was a little puzzled, picked up the bead, and secretly crossed his divine sense into it carefully, and suddenly his expression changed.
Phantom Bamboo said coldly: "Although I don't understand what you're saying, I think someone can understand"
Nightmuffle turned her head to look at the side wall of the cell, her teeth creaking.
He never imagined that looking at him from Phantom Bamboo's room, it would be transparent, and these days, his every move in the cell was all imprinted in this inconspicuous mirage in his hand.
Moreover, Phantom Bamboo has also heard a lot of his thoughts through the wall, although they are all just words, but they hide a lot of his secrets, once they are listened to by those who have a heart, the consequences are unpredictable.
The mirage was crushed in the night, and the killing intent in his heart gradually rose.
Phantom Zhu was calm, looking at the candle flame flickering slightly on the table: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, if I were you, I wouldn't do it, even if you have the blessing of this Buddha lamp, you can kill me, and it will make everything go down the drain."
Ye Yan secretly clenched his fists and took a deep breath, unexpectedly that he had just defeated Fan Yan, the praying mantis, but met the yellow finch of Phantom Bamboo again.
And if it weren't for Phantom Bamboo's private hiding of two hearts, even if Fan Yan was willing to give in, he would never be able to escape from this Taiping City.
"It's dark!"
Ye Mo secretly cursed Lan Sa in his heart.
Phantom Bamboo smiled lightly.
……
Liulitian, forget the pavilion.
In a meditation hall filled with bookshelves, there is an open space in the center.
In front of a carved bamboo screen, Mr. Zhang, dressed in a plain robe, was sitting upright behind several cases, concentrating on comparing the scriptures.
In front of him are stacked many books that have been moved back from the underground palace of the Buddha Kingdom, each with bookmarks of different lengths, and there are books in the room from time to time fluttering between the shelves like butterflies, which looks very strange.
The breeze hung down in front of the hall, waiting for the master to come back to his senses.
I don't know how long it took, Old Master Zhang put down the small cone in his hand, slowly raised his head, and said slowly: "What did you find?" ”
Qingfeng took two steps forward, put a mirage bead on several cases, and bowed down again: "It's Fan Yan who is behind the scenes, but they still won."
Old Master Zhang paused slightly, picked up the mirage, lowered his eyes, swept the contents with his divine sense, and groaned slightly.
"It seems that his cultivation is indeed good, how do you feel about him?
Qingfeng brewed a few words: "It's hard to measure by common sense, sometimes cunning, sometimes innocent, but I'm sure he's not a ghost, I can only say he's a monster"
Old Master Zhang twisted his fingers and rubbed the mirage, and sighed lightly: "Demon"
Qingfeng smiled, feeling that it was very appropriate to use this word to describe Ye Yan, and immediately thought of the master's instructions in advance, and secretly pondered for a while, and said, "Does the master suspect that the death of the demon monk Huai'an has another hidden meaning?" ”
Old Master Zhang nodded slightly, and then looked down at a piece of paper on the table where the ink had dried early, and several names were written on it.
Feng Tielu, Zhao Jia, Zang Jinwu, Fan Yan, Huanzhu, Jun Moxiao, Yunlang, Chen Tianfan.
There is also a diagram of star orbits with intricate lines.
The old man picked up the pen again, added a stroke to one of the lines, and sighed softly: "It's a mess"
Qingfeng glanced at the table and thought again, "Is the master calculating the fate of Yeyu?" ”
Old Master Zhang nodded slightly, and then his words changed suddenly: "There are joys and taboos, do you know the secret?" ”
Qingfeng was slightly stunned, knowing that this was the master instructing him to practice, but he couldn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, and shook his head in confusion.
"It is useless to like the gods, and it is useless to be jealous of the gods"
Qingfeng was stunned, thinking that the master was displeased with his performance after breaking his dream and soul, so he hurriedly turned around and changed back to the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old child again.
Old Master Zhang smiled lightly: "The loss of the common form, everyone knows it, the common sense is inappropriate, and it is difficult to understand, you go back and read more."
The breeze was dazed and a little overwhelmed.
