Pick up the Dragon

At this time, Jiu Yuan, who seemed to feel the anxious urging of his own dragon king, finally rushed back quickly, landed in human form, closed the lobby door, and put the several food boxes he was carrying on the table one by one. Liu Zhongqing glanced at him, then glanced at the Dragon King, but chose to keep his mouth shut.

Only now did Peng Yu see what this dragon guard looked like, and rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that something was wrong with his eyes—this man was wearing gray clothes that seemed to have never been washed, and he was walking on a pair of The gray boots painted in the mud pond, the gray hair that looks like faded on the top of the head, and a pair of strangely colored gray pupils resting in the eyes, only the skin is as pale as the Dragon King.

It was undoubtedly the "dusty guard" that Zhou Huai said.

Peng Yu couldn't help but sized him up several times, Jiu Yuan accepted the scrutiny without changing his face, and dutifully arranged the meals one by one.

In fact, the clothes on his body were all new, much cleaner than the people who had just rolled around in the dungeon.Even if people like gray, the Dragon King can't control him.

If Mo Wen, Jiu Yuan, and Li Yi are placed side by side in a row, it will be an extremely distinct ladder from deep to shallow—the black dragon in the dark night, the gray dragon in the mist, and the white dragon in the sun.

Peng Yu felt that most of the people of the Dragon Clan were out of their minds.

Coincidentally, it was exactly the same as Dragon King's view of their Peng family.

The few people picked and picked food like wolves, and put the favorite food in front of their eyes, and the remaining few vegetarian dishes all fell to the Dragon King.Peng Yu couldn't bear to push him a plate of elbows and a chicken, but Li Yi raised his eyelids: "No need."

Qian Yue ate half a bowl of steaming rice dryly while Li Yi opened a pot of wine by himself and poured half of it into his mouth.Jiu Yuan's eyelids twitched: "Wang, you are still injured, drink less."

Li Yi said "Oh" without sincerity, put down the jug and ate some food.

Peng Yu peeked at him, thinking that he couldn't see that the Dragon King was still a drunkard, would he become a drunk dragon if he drank too much?

Everyone wolfed down their food, their chopsticks were flying up and down, the dishes were clanging, and those who didn't know thought that some beggar gang was celebrating the new year.Li Yi suddenly looked up at Jiu Yuan who was poking dry, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I have already eaten."

"So fast. Where to eat?"

"In the river south of Xianzhou."

With a mouthful of rice in his mouth, Peng Yu sprayed a heavenly girl with flowers.

Qian Yue raised his head at the right time, and looked at him from the side of the bowl holding the sea bowl: "Won't you eat bugs?"

"We ate together."

Peng Yu coughed for a while, and almost ended his legendary life because of a grain of rice that choked his intake pipe.

Li Yi pulled the corner of his mouth apart, and made an arbitrary evaluation of the guard: "You really don't pay attention."

Liu Zhongqing was put aside by the wide-eyed crowd, but he didn't think he was disobedient at all, and continued to poke him for display with a smile on his face.Li Yi patted the bench for Jiu Yuan to sit down, somehow remembered this strange soul, took another sip of his wine, and said casually, "Go on."

It was only then that several people remembered that there was such a thing, they all paused for a while, and then took root in the fish ball meat dish again.

Liu Zhongqing was completely unaffected by their carelessness, and continued on his own: "That jade hairpin is for sending out his wife."

Peng Yu gave a vague "huh" and said flatteringly, "Then you must be rich? You can afford such an expensive hairpin... Are you in high school? No. [-] or No. [-]?"

The scholar leaned back: "This hairpin is not a gift from me."

"Huh? Is that... dowry?"

The scholar shook his head: "This hairpin is a gift from the magistrate."

Peng Yu raised his head in surprise, as if he had dug out some gossip from a few words: "Then?"

"I had a private meeting with the magistrate, and I caught her in bed, so I killed my wife."

Everyone: "..."

Peng Yu swallowed hard, feeling that his three views had been challenged. Although he was an ignorant dude, he hadn't cultivated to the level of "murder and set fire", so he stammered for a while: "No, you... ...Your wife had an affair with someone else, and you... killed someone without asking? And why are you sure it's your wife's fault? What if it was forced by the magistrate? You are too..."

"No, I'm sure she did it voluntarily."

"Then you should kill the magistrate too. What kind of hero are you when you bully a woman? Didn't the dog judge judge many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases? Why don't you go and eliminate harm for the people?" Qian Yue, who is also a woman, wrinkled dissatisfiedly. Frown.

Liu Zhongqing smiled slightly, and walked up and down on his own, his tone was unhurried, and his steps were unhurried: "I caught them in bed that day, but I didn't kill her immediately, because I found out that she was pregnant with the magistrate's child. .She promised me that she would never have an affair again, and I pretended to believe that, and pretended that the child was my son, and took care of her until the child was born."

"How do you know it's definitely not your child?"

"Because I never touched her—she thought I did, but I didn't."

Peng Yu instantly felt that this person was sick, and not only seriously ill.But next, what the scholar said was not just in the category of "sickness": "When she gave birth to that child, I used the kitchen knife at home to chop off her head and chop off her limbs, and go to the hospital every day. The magistrate’s family sent a piece. I also strangled the child and cooked it in an iron pot to make soup. The magistrate loves to eat dog meat, so I lied to him that it was dog meat soup. After watching him finish eating, I told him it was His own son."

Peng Yu suddenly stopped reaching for the spoon of pork rib soup, withdrew his hand a little stiffly, and raised his head in disbelief.

When Liu Zhongqing said these words, not only his face was as calm as water, but he even faintly revealed a bit of complacency, as if he was boasting that he had done an earth-shattering feat.

"Later, the magistrate executed me, but I didn't end well myself. I died of a serious illness not long after." He raised his chin slightly and looked at Peng Yu, "That's why I said, I am not wronged."

It is indeed not wronged, and some even deserve to die.

No one answered for a while, Qian Yue's hand was already on the knife, as if ready to let this arrogant ghost die again at any time.Liu Zhongqing stared at her saber without evasion, and a mocking sneer appeared on his lips: "My ancestors had some attainments in talisman and Taoism, and I also learned a little superficially, knowing that the big formation can Intensify the emotions in people's hearts, the more they call themselves innocent, the more crazy they become. Look at what happened, they all turned into ghosts who can only cry and howl."

He shrugged his shoulders very contemptuously: "In fact, who is not wronged? Sun Xiao is a domestic slave in Yuanwai Zhao's family. The old man passed a well; that Wu Yuan was a well-known habitual thief in the city, and once stole life-saving money from a family for his father's medical treatment; A prodigal son, he often pretended to forget to bring an umbrella on rainy nights, and when he saw a good-looking girl, he took the initiative to chat with him; as for Cao Zijing, everyone in the neighborhood knew that he was an idiot who wanted to kill him every day. I don’t know who snatched the kitchen knife from whom.”

He spread his hands indifferently: "Of course, the magistrate's case was not settled properly. Humans are inherently guilty, but the crime should not be punished by death, otherwise there is no need for injustice."

"Liu, Zhong, Qing." Li Yi poured himself a glass of wine and bit the name word by word, "Everyone is clear but I am turbid, everyone is drunk but I am sober, a good name."

Liu Zhongqing bowed: "Thanks to the Dragon King's love."

Li Yi touched the plate with his wine glass, and he drank it with someone, and then smiled coldly: "A mere government office can afford to build such a large water prison; a mere prefect can afford so many Unjust, false and wrongly decided; a mere scholar who kills his wife and children without changing his face. Chen Zhou... is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Peng Yu looked at his face that was so cold, the sarcasm in his words almost condensed into substance and spewed out.Immediately, the Dragon King said something more hateful: "No wonder those immortals are unwilling to take care of the affairs of the world. I dare say that you are not worthy of sympathy at all."

Jiu Yuan frowned: "King, you...be careful with your words."

"Is what I said wrong?" Li Yi glanced at him lightly, then turned to Liu Zhongqing, "Since you are not wronged, what are you still doing here? Are you going to go to the King of Hades to receive the punishment yourself, or should I directly Is it suitable for you if you crush it?"

"It's all right. But before that, I still have a wish."

"Scumbags are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

Liu Zhongqing's smile remained unchanged, and he said without beginning and end: "Liu Xian is my grandfather."

When Peng Yu heard the name, he was puzzled for two seconds, only to feel that it sounded very familiar.When he remembered, he slapped the table in anger, pointed at Liu Zhongqing's nose: "You!"

Liu Zhongqing bowed his hands at him leisurely, and answered his unspoken question like a prophet: "It's the next time."

Liu Xian is Yan Youling's college student. He really has a hobby of studying magic arts. He is from the same school as Peng Yu's grandfather, and has a lifelong friendship.As soon as Peng Yu heard the name, he became very popular. He never thought that Liu Xian, who almost completely inherited the mantle of the teacher, would have such a scum in his descendants.

He bit his back molars at someone, clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to crush the fire in his heart.Finally he sat back, took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and figured out something was wrong: "So what? So what if Liu Xian is your grandfather?"

Liu Zhongqing seemed to have heard his doubts, and explained in a leisurely manner: "When a certain person tried to possess him, he already knew the identity of Mr. Peng, and he also knew that the Peng family is affectionate and righteous, and they will not ignore the affection of our ancestors. .”

Peng Yu was stunned by this "love and righteousness" on the spot, and almost pouted, quickly took a sip of soup, suppressed a sneer that had reached his lips, and asked patiently: "What's your unfinished business?" wish?"

"I have a cousin," Liu Zhongqing finally straightened his expression, "it's in Lizhou. I'm stuck here and can't go out. I heard that the epidemic in Lizhou is serious. I want to trouble you to check if my cousin is okay."

This is still like a human saying.

Peng Yu rolled his eyes: "That's all?"

"that's it."

He hesitated, thinking about it is not impossible, after all, since he knows about Liu Xian's descendants, it is still necessary to ask about it.Moreover, the Peng family's caravan must have arrived in Lizhou, and he wanted to see how the prescription worked—right he should drop by.

He cast a questioning look at Li Wei, but the other party did not raise his head: "You make the decision, but the earliest departure is tomorrow afternoon."

"why?"

"The formation in this city has been broken, but the insects have not been cured yet."

Strange to say, they didn't see those worms that followed everywhere in the water dungeon.Peng Yu asked smoothly, "Do you have a solution?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Jiuyuan, go and tidy up some upper rooms."

The ashen guard left in response, and Peng Yu had no choice but to stop asking.The few people who were full after eating and drinking dispersed for a while, and the dishes on the table were empty, as clean as the wind and clouds.

Qian Yue picked up the last bite of pork rib soup and poured it down.

Jiu Yuan tidied up the house at lightning speed, and before Peng Yu sat at the door with his hands on his hips to digest his food, he stomped downstairs and said it was time to go.

The house was tidied up well, but the quilt that had not been covered for a long time had a musty smell, and Peng Yu hated it so much, the thin blanket he brought from home came in handy at this time.

Peng Yu and Qian Yue occupied the guest room alone, Li Yi didn't rush to follow, stared at a pile of empty dishes for a while, and suddenly took off his clothes.

There was a bruise on the back that was knocked out by the crazy soul, which was particularly eye-catching on the pale skin, and some subtle black air could be seen on closer inspection.He opened the remaining jug of wine, splashed it on the wound, then pinched a fire talisman and threw it on his back.

When the fire talisman came into contact with the liquor, it "stabbed" and it burned up into flames.Li Yi pulled the corner of his mouth in pain, the fire burned away again, and then extinguished, not even a single hair was burned, his skin was intact, only the black air was burnt clean.

Jiu Yuan frowned suddenly, and the expressionless expression on his face almost failed: "Wang, can you stop doing such... dangerous actions?"

If you are not careful, you will be charcoal grilling a live dragon.

Li Yi ignored him, poured the rest of the wine into the glass and sipped it, squinting at the jasper hairpin—a certain ghost had been photographed back into the hairpin by him, and the audiovisual was blocked by the way, lest he come out to make trouble.

Just looking at it is enough to irritate me.

Jiu Yuan handed him a new suit and asked, "Wang, isn't your talisman paper already wet?"

Li Yi changed his clothes with his hands, but didn't speak.

The talisman paper was stuffed in Peng Yu's belt when he pushed him to the ground, and then he pulled it back silently.In the eyes of the Dragon King, it is okay to waste the talisman paper by oneself, but it is absolutely not allowed to be damaged without reason.It's a pity that he only asked Zhou Huaixin for one before he came out, and there are not many left at the moment. If he can't recover his mana, he will be at a loss in the future.

So he immediately sat cross-legged, and broke through the seal in his body for the third time.

Jiuyuan's ignorant joker, Dragon King, didn't answer, and automatically changed to the next question: "My lord, why did you say that? If you really don't care about the lives of mortals, why bother to save those two? If you don't Save them without being trapped in the water..."

Li Yi raised his eyes, and poked a gaze coldly: "You are the only one who talks a lot?"

With his understanding ability, which was unprecedented in the past, Jiu Yuan concluded that his Dragon King was guilty, so he lowered his eyes and closed his mouth obediently.
