Capture the Jade

Lin Chengyou said lazily: "Ms. Teng is right, this monster is not small in size, and he really can't eat a meal, so it's better to take it back and slowly pickle it, eat its arm today, and eat its head tomorrow, if you eat it alone If you can’t get enough of it, it’s a big deal to invite relatives and friends over to eat together.”

The old demon was burning with anger when he heard it, and his body was together, as if he was about to go into battle, everyone saw it, and his heart jumped to his throat instantly, but the old demon was agitated for a while, but he actually held back.

Teng Yuyi kept sweating secretly, and after all this effort, the old demon was still unwilling to be fooled, time was running out, and no one in the yard would be able to escape.

Lin Chengyou was as steady as Mount Tai, slowly turning the hilt of the sword: "While this monster dare not move, I will try it now to see if this jadeite sword is easy to use, or if it is the Nine Heavens Profound Sword."

He sneered, spread his arms lightly, and jumped off the beam, holding a sword flower in mid-air, pointing directly at the center of the old demon's eyebrows.

The old demon knows the power of the Jade Sword well, and blocking it hard is a dead end, so he fell to the sky and rose into the air. He really met two nemesis tonight, and only injured Lin Chengyou, and another lady Teng appeared, changing It is easy to say that Mrs. Zuo Teng stabbed it, without waiting for the opponent to get close to her, it could tear it to pieces from a distance, but the sword fell into Lin Chengyou's hands.

"The prince is approaching the age of weakness. How can you openly covet my flesh like you've never seen a beauty before, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

She smiled charmingly, intending to fly around the formation, Lin Chengyou wanted to force her to come out, but she wanted to lure him in.

Lin Chengyou suddenly stopped the castration, and looked back with a wicked smile: "Forget it, are you doing too much harm? Your appearance is so ugly. Have you heard the saying, 'The appearance is born from the heart', even if it is a monster Inside, your appearance is really ugly, let alone eating your meat, you will be tired and crooked if you look at it more."

The old demon's face changed drastically. She has been practicing for hundreds of years, but she has never been able to cultivate a beautiful appearance. If it wasn't for the fact that she started to occupy the skin of a beauty a few months ago, she still has an ugly face.

He grabbed the bodies of more than a dozen women successively, but they were all unsatisfactory, and it was not until he bumped into Mrs. Anguo's wife that he knew what was stunning.

After being a beauty for a few months, she almost forgot her original appearance. Lin Chengyou's words were like a sharp blade, stabbing her heart at once.

Her eyes were like poison arrows, and her lips began to twitch: "You are courting death!"

Lin Chengyou added fuel to the fire: "Miss Teng, do you really want to eat it, so you won't be afraid of being damaged by its poisonous gas?"

"That's right." Teng Yuyi changed her mind, "Why don't you take it back and feed the cows and horses."

The old demon's eyes were red, and he couldn't hold it any longer. With a kick of his legs, he suddenly rose to the ground: "The madmen who don't know whether to live or die, tonight I will tell you that life is better than death."

Lin Chengyou froze for a moment, turned around with a smile and wanted to escape, but unexpectedly affected the sore spot, and fell to the ground in a flash.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were shocked: "Senior Brother!"

The guards were shocked and rushed over.

The old demon hates so much, how can he miss this great opportunity, he can tear Lin Chengyou in half without chasing out of the battle.

Lin Chengyou was seriously injured, he lowered his head and couldn't stop coughing, the old demon laughed grimly, his men were about to exert force, but Lin Chengyou chuckled twice, and suddenly clasped her paw with his backhand, before the old demon could shrink his hand, he dragged her to fly soaring.

This move was caught off guard, the old demon secretly said badly, and he was just short of the last few mouthfuls of spiritual power, and actually got Lin Chengyou's way, fortunately, the formation was at his feet, and there was still time to escape.

Because she was in a hurry to get out, she released a cloud of black mist like a flame. Lin Chengyou threw her aside and shouted, "Change formation!"

The two little Taoist priests who only knew how to cry jumped up and ran in the courtyard with their Taoist robes on, staggering back and forth, changing their formation in the blink of an eye.

The old demon secretly thought that it was not good, and hurriedly recited the curse loudly. When the vines under her feet heard the call, they soared several feet and wrapped around her feet. She was about to use them to pull her back into the formation, but in the blink of an eye, the little Daotong Two golden beams sprang from behind him, the rays of light intertwined, and the circle climbed upwards, touching the Panluo golden net above his head, and the three golden beams merged into one. In the formation, he was thrown out of the formation far away.

The old demon fell to the eaves in a panic, and finally managed to relax, raised his head in embarrassment, and saw Lin Chengyou standing on a tree not far away, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Can you stop me from absorbing spiritual power, or stop me from becoming a demon?" The old demon gritted his teeth with hatred, Lin Chengyou tried every means to lure her into battle, and Xiao Daotong was responsible for blocking her escape route, but it was a pity that she was played around by Lin Chengyou, and she didn't know When did the three of them get the news under her nose.

However, Lin Chengyou stopped fighting the old demon and threw the jade sword to the guard below: "Return it to Lady Teng."

Then jumped off the treetops: "Do it, change the Xuantian formation."

Xiaodaotong answered loudly: "Yes."

Teng Yuyi took the jade sword, turned around and dragged Mrs. Du away, successfully lured the old demon, and the next thing was much easier.

Under the moonlight, the old demon could see clearly that Lin Chengyou's snow-white jacket was covered with bloodstains. He had already injured his heart, and just now he used all his inner strength to drag her into battle.

Seeing that Teng Yuyi was about to run away, she immediately changed her mind, left Lin Chengyou behind, and pursued Teng Yuyi instead.

Teng Yuyi slipped very fast, and ran to the door in a blink of an eye.

The old demon hurried along the eaves. Tonight she chased after the Ziyun Tower. In addition to taking revenge for that sword, it was also because Mrs. An Guo's wife Wuzang suffered a great loss. A fresh beauty skin.

This little lady surnamed Teng was born slender and bright. Although she was not as plump as Mrs. An Guogong's, she had a little girl's graceful look. She was surprised by Teng Yuyi's complexion, and had already thought of it.

The strange thing is that they knew that she was chasing Teng Yuyi, but the three behind them didn't stop her, they just heard the little boy say, "Senior brother, do you really want to use this formation?"

"It's all set up, what are you talking about?"

"But I just remembered that Master said that the Xuantian formation needs the body of a boy to lead the formation... Otherwise, not only will it not be able to penetrate into the sky, but it will also damage the people who set up the formation.

"…"

Another person also said: "Although this formation can kill the Quartet, if my brother doesn't...you don't have to force it. The big deal is to use another formation to catch the old demon, wait for it to be brought back to Qingyun Temple, and then set up an formation to suppress it."

The tree demon laughed secretly, as expected of a child with a still young mind, facing such a **** like Lin Chengyou, he could ask such stupid questions.

It seemed that she couldn't stand up for a while, and she felt more at ease.

Everyone fled in all directions, Teng Yuyi was nimble, and ran outside the courtyard first. The old demon was inexplicably excited and pursued him all the way.

Teng Yuyi was terrified and ran across the wall while scolding: "Monster, you are dying and want to harm others, look who is behind you."

Lao Yao: "You still expect Lin Chengyou to save you? He was severely injured by my beating, and he can't take care of himself for a long time."

Teng Yuyi sneered: "I don't expect anyone, but if you're not afraid that your left claw will also be cut off by me, you can try it."

The old demon remembered how Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou had joined forces to lure her into the battle just now. His teeth were so irritated that he split the wall in front of him in anger. He leaned over to catch Teng Yuyi, and suddenly felt a strange wind hit his back, gently and slowly, As fluffy.

An ominous premonition surged in the old demon's heart, and he wanted to turn his head to find out, but the strange power suddenly rose up, like a heroic army joining forces, beating gongs and drums, driving thousands of flags, driving hundreds of soldiers, and overwhelmingly pressing on top of her head.

There was a loud noise in the old demon's head, and he gathered his whole body to fight back, but this strange force was completely different from the spells he had encountered before.

The old demon stooped and froze in the air, his soul seemed to have been crushed to pieces, he tried his best to look up, only to see the fire dragon wandering around in the courtyard, and most of the evil beings were entangled, either screaming shrill, or burning in an instant. black and gray.

Ye Feng sent a low voice of mantra chanting, knocking on Jin Jiayu, as light as a spring, and after a careful debate, it was Lin Chengyou's voice.

"I'll take the camp and hold one, I'm here to control the charm."

"break-"

The old demon's eyes were slightly bulging, and before he had time to struggle, a ray of light went like snow, and slammed into her face.

The old demon howled in pain, desperately trying to break free, but Xueguang wound up like a snake and bound her tightly.

Lin Chengyou hung in the air, the voice of chanting the mantra was louder, and the old demon couldn't help shuddering. From his face to his neck, every inch of the bark was exposed with brown and black knots, and the long hair on his shoulders slowly turned into strands. branch.

Seeing that hundreds of years of skill are about to be destroyed in one fell swoop, it was too late for the old demon to regret it, and he couldn't help crying.

Her rhythm was desolate, and she seemed to be overwhelmed with grief. Lin Chengyou was indifferent, but the little boy and the guard were moved with compassion, and all the sad things in their belly seemed to be aroused by the cry one by one.

Lin Chengyou scolded inwardly. At this time, he was still playing tricks, releasing all his evil spirits to confuse people's minds. People who don't know how to take precautions often lose their muscles and don't know it.

He flicked away the talisman paper on the altar wood, waved his sleeves, and hit the altar wood. The old demon was beaten so hard that his crying stopped abruptly.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi shook their heads and immediately woke up.

Lin Chengyou fell back into the formation, dragged the lost old demon to the front, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to let you go with so many tricks?"

The old demon rolled his eyes, shaking his head desperately.

"You can answer me a few questions honestly. If you answer them, I can consider not returning you to your original form."

The old demon made a whimper in his mouth, and he couldn't ask for it.

"A few months ago, you were just a tree demon at the foot of Liquan Mountain. You can't enter the magic way, and your skills are ordinary. Since you sneaked into Chang'an, you have killed more than ten women in the past three months. Who inspired you to practice the magic way? Who taught you how to steal a human body? You sneaked into the bamboo forest by the river tonight, is there someone waiting for you, or is it just for evil?"

The old demon looked complicated, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to his throat.

Lin Chengyou flicked his fingers, the old demon coughed several times, and said hoarsely: "It's all about chance, no one has ever pointed me, I was training hard in the mountains, and I encountered a thunderstorm that night. I broke into a cave in order to avoid disaster, unfortunately. Encountered a landslide, was trapped in a cave for several months, and inadvertently broke the way of heaven. I figured out the way to grab a human body. The reason why I went to the bamboo forest tonight was because I was impatient and used my strength to give Mrs. Anguo every day. To continue my life, I just want to change to a fresh beauty body."

Lin Chengyou nodded with a smile, waved his robe sleeves, and the fire on the old demon burned again. Ten thousand ants got into every crack of the bone, which was painful.

The old demon wailed bitterly: "If the prince doesn't believe it, you can go to the back of Liquan Mountain to find it in person. The top of the mountain where I am located has not been visited for thousands of years, and it has already become an empty mountain and a valley."

Lin Chengyou had a heart of stone. Not only did he stop his hands, he also signaled that Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom read faster.

The old demon couldn't bear the humiliation, and scolded bitterly: "Lin Chengyou! You villain, you can let me go after you answer the question, how can you not believe it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Zhi turned into a fire dragon and climbed up on the old demon's legs. This time, even its lower body turned into a tree root.

Lin Chengyou smiled cruelly: "You have killed so many living beings, do you still expect to suffer? I don't give you many chances, don't think about playing tricks, tell me honestly, the person who enlightened you is in the end. who is it?"

The old demon knew that if she came back twice, she would definitely be beaten back to her original form. She had suffered for hundreds of years, but how could she be willing to be an ignorant old tree?

It swallowed and was about to speak, when the sky suddenly lit up, and the sound of a cockroach came from the dome above its head. Before everyone could react, a bright light of light rolled down.

Lin Chengyou's face changed slightly, this thing went straight to the eyes of the formation, clearly coming to save the old demon.

With quick eyes and quick hands, he hurriedly dragged the tree demon back, Fu Long lost his control, and instantly beat the old demon back to its original shape.

The strange thunder seemed to be aware of it, but it turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared in mid-air. It was invisible, as if it had never appeared.

Juesheng and Qizhi recalled the Zhentan Wood, stood up and hugged to the front, looking down at the old demon's original shape, a young tree that was neither thick nor thin, surrounded by green moss, and the smell was fragrant.

The two were still in shock: "Senior brother, is that strange thunder here to save the old demon?"

Lin Chengyou stared at the direction of the light when it came, took out the lock soul from his arms, tied the sapling tree, and threw it to the two of them: "Return to Posha and stay in the knot."

He said to the guards who were still wiping their sweat, "Quickly send the injured and Mrs. Anguo to Zhaolexuan for resettlement, and I'll be back when I go."

He jumped to the wall and instantly disappeared into the night.

***

The Zhaolexuan courtyard was cramped, and there was only one bedroom in total. The Teng and Dong family had no choice but to live in one place.

Most of the palace people were terrified, and the guards were also lingering fears, until they were cleaned up, and everyone was still a little out of breath.

Mrs. Du's legs trembled, and she kept stroking Teng Yuyi Lou in her arms. Teng Yuyi recalled how Lin Chengyou dealt with the old demon, and she was full of doubts. Lin Chengyou not only asked why the old demon went to the bamboo forest, but also guessed that someone was waiting for it. One thing she never thought about before, when she brought Duanfu and others to arrive, there were only the old demon and the cousin's master and servant in the forest. They only knew that the cousin was attacked, but they didn't know the cause.

If the old demon did not break into that bamboo forest by chance, but went to an appointment, where would he be hiding? Cousin was attacked by the old demon, could it be because she accidentally bumped into something.

She pondered back and forth for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened her heart became. Suddenly, she heard her aunt calling her cousin softly, and then she came back to her senses.

The medicine given by Lin Chengyou had a miraculous effect, and the strange golden color on the cousin's body had all disappeared. Although Bai Zhi and Hong Nu were still in a drowsiness, there were signs of improvement.

Duanfu was placed under the porch outside, and when Teng Yuyi looked at it, his breathing gradually became steady.

On the couch by the window, Mrs. Anguo and the second wife of the county magistrate's family were lying side by side, one of them was so angry, the other was still in a coma because he didn't take medicine.

The steward's wife escaped from death, and after waiting for a long time, she remembered that all the medicinal pills Lin Chengyou had given were taken away by Teng's wife, and now the Teng family members have improved after taking the medicine, but her family's second mother's life is hanging by a thread, she can't help it Worried, while taking care of Dong Erniang, she glared at Teng Yuyi from time to time, her eyes covered with accusations and resentments.

Teng Yuyi noticed the sight behind her, and turned her head to see what was going on. At this time, the palace servant came in and sent a message: "The prince said before he left that he has something to check, and the few in the room are unmarried little ladies, so let the servants make some arrangements in advance. "

Mrs. Du had vaguely heard a few words earlier, only when Lin Chengyou was about to come over to check on the injury. She had been worried about men and women, but now she was completely relieved, and hurriedly replied, "Yes."

The lady in charge was looking forward to asking for a few more life-saving pills from Lin Chengyou, so she promised in every possible way: "It's all up to the prince's arrangement."

The palace people placed the five wounded women on the Hu bed side by side, with a thick curtain, only the bottom of the scoop was exposed.

When Teng Yuyi was helping the curtain, she accidentally looked at Dong Erniang, and unexpectedly found that Dong Erniang didn't have a golden gray on her face, and her breath was calm.

Hey, isn't it poisoned by a demon? As soon as she moved, she wanted to take a closer look, but the lady in charge blocked the curtain because she was afraid of the wind.

Teng Yuyi simply went around to the other side of the curtain and looked at it again calmly. At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and someone started to speak in front of the court. The palace servant agreed a few words, lifted the curtain and came in and replied, "The man from the Duke's Mansion. General Duan and Mrs. Yongan Hou are here."

Mrs. Du was stunned: "General Duan and Mrs. Yongan Hou?"

General Duan's name is Duan Ningyuan, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Yu'er's fiance. Duan Wenyin, the wife of the Hou of Yongan, is Duan Ningyuan's sister. When Duan Wenyin was seventeen years old, she married the Marquis of Yongan in Luoyang.

The Duan siblings are only three years apart, and they have always been affectionate. In the future, when Yuer married Duan Ningyuan, she had to call Duan Wenyin "sister".

Mrs. Du put on a smile and was about to get up, and the palace servant said: "Tonight, the Duan family is also watching the big house in Ziyun Tower. I heard that Mrs. Teng was frightened, General Duan and Mrs. Yongan Hou came to help, and there were a few others. A lady who was close to the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion heard about this and came to take care of it. However, the prince blocked the middle gate in order to catch the monster, so they had to wait for news in the middle hall. Now that they heard that the prince had subdued the monster, they went inside. Yuan is here, and Mrs. Yongan Hou asked outside, if the lady and the little lady have something to avoid, if they can come in to visit."

As soon as the palace servant spoke, there were many women whispering under the porch outside, but Duan Ningyuan's voice was not heard.

Teng Yuyi sneered in her heart, but her face was the same as usual. Madam Du just thought she was shy, patted the back of her hand, and whispered, "It's so timely, the Duan family has a heart."

There was a thick curtain in front of the bed, and Mrs. Du, without any scruples, took care of the women in her arms and greeted her warmly, "Come in."

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and another person entered the yard.

"A total of five people were injured. Besides the Teng family, who is the other family?" It was Lin Chengyou's voice.

Teng Yuyi was a little surprised, Lin Chengyou turned around so quickly, I don't know what to find out.

"It's the second wife of the magistrate's family in Wannian County. Tonight, she made an appointment with several officials and daughters to have a banquet by the river. On the way to the banquet, she accidentally bumped into an evil spirit. She was afraid that it would be too late to rush back to the city for treatment. I heard that you will be here. The Taoist priest, entrusted Mrs. Yongan Hou's care and entered the Ziyun Tower."

After Teng Yuyi glanced at the curtain meaningfully, she should have expected that the family members of ordinary officials would not be able to enter the Ziyun Tower without an invitation from a noble person. .

Their sister and brother have always been deeply in love. In the previous life, Duan Ningyuan was almost expelled from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion because of her resignation from relatives.

It’s not surprising that Duan Wenyin has returned to Chang’an in the past few days, but when something happened to the Dong family, she did not ask others to ask Duan Wenyin’s head. What’s even more strange is that Duan Wenyin actually agreed to it because the two families had never known each other. Teng Yu couldn't think of any other reason for Ning Yuan's entrustment.

She calculated the days, it was early spring now, and it was still three months before Duan Ningyuan came to retire from his family. It could be seen that Duan Ningyuan was interested in Dong Erniang earlier than she expected.

Lin Chengyou said, "I want to go into the house to check on the injury. Is it all set up inside?"

When the lady in charge heard this, she immediately bounced off the couch, ran out of the door, and knelt down and said, "I beg your son to save my second wife, just now the first son gave the medicine to the little lady of the Teng family to arrange, but my second mother No luck, not a single grain has been distributed, and now the second mother's life is hanging by a thread, I only ask the prince to save her life."

I heard a young man say in surprise: "The medicine has not been distributed to your second mother?!"

It was Duan Ningyuan's voice that implied anger and accusation.

The lady in charge just kowtowed and wept silently.

The author has something to say: "I'm here to control the charm" - from Han Yu's "Eighteen Concordances of the Early Southern Food and Yiyuan".
