Map of the universe

Even though the gates of the city have not been closed at this point, the sky has already darkened, and the people who are resting after sunset have already returned home. The street is deserted, and there are not many people. Occasionally, there are one or two cries of hawking, which are mostly steamed buns. Things like biscuits, just like this, the two girls were attracted to look east and west, playing back and forth very happily.

The four of them visited five or six inns back and forth, and they were either full or too shabby.Xiao Zhang cursed, looked up and saw the Dragon King Temple, he was overjoyed, pushed the door and entered, wow, this Dragon King Temple is simply a golden palace, resplendent and brightly lit, the most important thing is that there are rich offerings, grab an apple and eat it With a sip, he greeted: "I'm home, don't hold back!"

It was the first time for the two girls to set foot in the Three Realms, so they didn't understand these things; Mei Zhihan, on the other hand, was in frequent contact, knew the beliefs of the world, and knew the importance of temples to people in the immortal class. Looking around, he said, "Brother Xiao, Isn't that inappropriate?"

Xiao Zhang said: "What's wrong, the old Dragon King didn't say anything!"

Who dares to say anything in your capacity!Mei Zhihan secretly muttered in his heart, since it's here, let's take it easy!Anyway, it is also a place to stay.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpies fly south!Since leaving Baihua Valley, Mei Zhihan has always been unable to calm down, but now that he has settled down, his heart is even more entangled.Hearing the sound of the door behind him, he asked, "Are they asleep?"

Xiao Zhang nuozui: "One is your princess and one is your sister, are you so relieved to let me arrange them?"

"Brother Xiao is a man I can trust!"

Xiao Zhang was so choked that he coughed dryly for a long time, and said resentfully: "I'll just take it as you are praising me... What's the matter with you, you've been so absent-minded all day? Is there something wrong with Baihua Valley?"

Mei Zhihan hesitated to speak, but said it anyway: "At first, I thought that we were really asked to come out to practice and practice, but I didn't expect that Master even asked my junior sister to bring out that painting!"

"What painting?" Xiao Zhang didn't know why.

"Brother Xiao has seen it before, it's the painting hanging in the hall, it's put in a bamboo tube on the back of junior sister!" Mei Zhihan said.

Xiao Zhang recalled it for a long time, and then he remembered that when Shuangyu came out of the valley, the Peony King did give her a bamboo tube, but after all, it was a matter between mother and daughter, so he didn't want to ask too much.He tentatively asked: "That painting is about the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun. Is there anything more important in it?"

Mei Zhihan nodded: "Although Brother Xiao is as famous as Empress Nuwa and Patriarch Hongjun, there are very few people in the universe who know about it. Even the Nine Great Suzerains are only speculating about your existence in the dark, but resisting the demons is also important." Not daring to rely on you all, they searched around for the short-lived Pangu relic "The Great Wilderness"..."

""The Eight Wonders of the Great Desolation"?" Xiao Zhang was taken aback: "Could it be that painting is Houyi shooting the sun among the Eight Wonders?"

"That's right!" Mei Zhihan went on to say, "After learning that Houyi who shot the sun was in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, the nine masters came to the valley together, hoping that the master would hand over the painting for the sake of the safety of the universe, but because of the origin, the master refused, but also At the same time, I promised them that I would do my best to protect Houyi Sheri and never let it fall into the hands of the demons. In other words, it can be said that protecting Houyi Sheri is the mission of Baihua Valley!"

"Wait!" Xiao Zhang deduced along the lines: "The owner of the valley actually asked you to take Houyi out of the valley. It must be a big event. The experience is false, and the escape is the truth! But who even let Houyi shoot the sun out of the valley?" Does the Lord feel that he is not sure of winning?" Thinking of this, he grabbed Mei Zhihan and disappeared.

Xiao Zhang used Tianling to escape back to Baihua Valley. As soon as he landed, he felt that the place was lifeless and lifeless. The most important thing was that flowers and plants were everywhere, which was completely chaotic. It was very different from the scene when he first entered Baihua Valley.Mei Zhihan's eyes widened even more, and he looked at the flowers and plants one by one: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"This is someone who has taken the Yuan Ling. It seems that the person who made the move has two brushes!" Xiao Zhang rubbed his chin. Suddenly, his cochlea moved, and he quickly dived into the thorn bushes beside him, and saw the Valley of Flowers through the branches and leaves. Everyone was kneeling outside the hall. On the steps of the hall stood a 40-year-old Taoist priest, and behind him stood four strangely dressed people, one of whom was holding a strangely shaped zither.

The Taoist said with a stern voice: "Tell me the whereabouts of Sheri Houyi and Mudan Wang, and I will let you go. If not, I will make your souls fly away!"

Those flower and plant elves were trembling with fright, and it took a long time to raise their heads calmly: "We really don't know where the owner of the valley is..."

The Taoist frowned, and one of the men in black rushed out behind him, killing the person who responded.

Mei Zhihan panicked and jumped out.Xiao Zhang shook his head secretly, but there was no other way, he jumped ahead and locked the man in black by the throat with lightning speed.Originally, he was tall, and with his quick strikes, he lifted the man in black up in the air, no matter how hard the opponent struggled, he couldn't escape.

The Taoist priest's face froze, obviously he didn't expect such a master to be hiding under his nose.

thump thump thump!The man in black holding the zither took a quicker step, and quickly stroked the surface of the zither with his hands. Suddenly, the sound of wind and thunder was wrapped in a turbulent sea, like thousands of sharp knives, and Mi Mi killed the uninvited guest.

Xiao Zhang's eyes shot coldly in surprise, he didn't dare to hold back, while pulling Mei Zhihan back behind him with one hand, he had already summoned Yingjiang Hong into his hand, and fanned out with his wrist, a raging fire rose without support, and there was no sound of wind, With the power of landslides and ground cracks, it collided with the sound of the piano. In an instant, the sound and fire disappeared, and fireworks and meteors flew all over the sky. "The qin is not bad, but it's a pity that no one of you idiots can control it!" Although Xiao Zhang was on guard with all his strength, his tone was full of sarcasm.

The Taoist priest was seriously injured, so he got up from the ground with difficulty, and glanced at the three people behind him: the one holding the piano is better, and the other two are not much better than him!Looking back at Xiao Zhang holding the folding fan, he suddenly remembered something, his pupils enlarged instantly, Xuanji saw that there was only a slit, and then relaxed, his eyes showed endless sorrow, and the muscles on his face twitched After a long time, the left hand was slowly raised to drive the Yuanli, and a small drum made of twelve faces appeared in the hand, tumbling non-stop in the air, and the strange patterns on the surface of each drum flashed coquettishly from time to time. Light.The Taoist gritted his back teeth hard and squeezed them out: "Here are the primordial spirits of these flowers and plants. Let our people go, or I will wipe them out!"

Mei Zhihan gasped, "Brother Xiao..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Zhang yelled at Mei Zhihan, and looked at the Taoist priest with contempt: "Are you talking about terms with me?" With a strong hand, there was a click, and the man in black's throat was already in his hand. Crushed, waved and fell down the steps. "Is this condition okay?"

"You..." I didn't expect the other party to do it right away, without even the slightest intention to discuss it, and the Taoist stammered for a long time without saying anything.

Xiao Zhang flexed his wrists: "You all have one way, hand over their Yuan Ling, and get out before I change my mind, and if you take another breath here, it may be your last breath!"

Sure enough, this person is exactly like the legend, he does things completely according to his likes and dislikes, I'm afraid the more he procrastinates, the harder it is to get out!The Taoist priest threw out the snare drum suddenly, and the three people who had been prepared behind him fled immediately.

Mei Zhihan, who was worried for a long time, jumped to catch the snare drum, and looked at it upside down for a long time, but he couldn't even find a needle thread, let alone open it.

"This is the soul-locking drum of the demons. The twelve faces represent the twelve dimensions of the demons. Only the formulas of the demons can open it!" Xiao Zhang said, throwing the soul-locking drum into the air, stretching out his middle finger and index finger, Two golden lights protruded out, like two blades of scissors, clamping the soul-locking drum, there was only a bang, the red light and black air mixed together, and then disappeared.

Mei Zhihan, whose consciousness was blurred by the shaking, took a long time to get used to it before he came to his senses, and saw that the kneeling people on the ground were no longer there, but the messy flowers that he saw when he first entered the valley, the small ones were like needles, Big like an umbrella. "This..." Mei Zhihan was full of doubts and didn't know how to describe it.

Xiao Zhang stretched his neck: "As a disciple of Baihua Valley, I really admire you for being so ignorant. What we saw in Taniguchi was their form, which is what practitioners call dregs, so they were abandoned. ;The soul-locking drum locks the spirit, that is, the essence. Originally, it is extremely difficult to separate the god from the spirit. Brother, you can’t do it, can you? They forcibly separated the god and detained you here, fortunately It's early, these flowers and plants have only lost hundreds of years of cultivation, if there is another hour or three, they can only make up for me!"

Hearing the words "replenish the body", Mei Zhihan, who was looking for trees among the flowers, stood up straight and stared at Xiao Zhang angrily.

"Don't look at me like that! There's no Peony King here, right? That's right, anyway, she has tens of thousands of years of Taoism. Although she can't save these flowers and plants, she is more than enough to protect herself, so she won't be like you! "Xiao Zhang said and left Baihua Valley.

This Xiao Zhang has no sense of right and wrong at all, let alone morality, and now his master is gone, I'm afraid he is more dangerous than the people who sneaked into Baihua Valley!Mei Zhihan couldn't help feeling worried.

How could Xiao Zhang, who has been mixed with various religions and talents since he was a child, not understand Mei Zhihan's thoughts, but he didn't bother to explain, who is Xiao Zhang?That is the uncle, wherever you go, you are the uncle!The uncle's nose is always venting, even if a nosebleed falls, it will still be a spring of blood gushing upwards!Besides, I have done countless bastard things in the eyes of the world. If I explain them all, I will be exhausted!

After a stroll, he had already wandered to the entrance of the Dragon King Temple, only to hear a "click" sound from inside, Xiao Zhang's eyebrows twitched, and he poked a big hole in the window paper, okay, four rogue men are surrounding Shuangyu She was flirting with Mei Xiaohan, and instead of being in a hurry, she was happy: "Wow, you are a fellow!"

Now when Xiao Zhang was excited, Mei Zhihan began to feel inexplicably worried, stepped forward to look, and felt a thump in his heart, but Xiao Zhang pushed the sword back into its scabbard before it was released, and couldn't help roaring: "What are you doing? "

Xiao Zhang waved his hands to disperse the voice so as not to spread into the temple, and said softly: "Speak softly, the two of them can't be hurt!"

Mei Zhihan was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood: Could it be that Houyi really will make a move?He couldn't help but be curious about being able to see the demeanor of the ancient gods and men, but he was still holding on to the spell, as long as there was a slight mistake, he could instantly solve a few rascals.

"Hahaha, this deity has been dormant for thousands of years and shot for a thief!"

The people in the temple were startled by the thunderous sound, and fell silent immediately, shaking their heads back and forth to search.

A puff of blue smoke emerged from the bamboo behind Shuangyu, circling and turning into a human form.This person is more than nine feet tall, with a three-yang star fire token tied on his forehead, Lang Xing's tiger eyes bursting with cold light, a tiger skin shawl, a versatile waist, and his feet are naked.The left hand is holding the bow in front of the body, and the right hand has drawn a quiver from the back to put it on.Who is this person if not Hou Yi?Sure enough, the prehistoric god and man are not comparable to ordinary grass-headed figures!

The rogues were so frightened that their feet trembled so much that they couldn't stand up straight, but they still threatened: "My... grandpa is the number one scholar in the founding of the country...Wen Quxing came down to earth...I'm not afraid of you ..."

Before Hou Yi spoke, there was a sound of scolding and laughter, and before he could turn his head, he felt a murderous aura rushing towards him, and then he saw a man appearing in front of the ruffian, with his back turned to him.

This person is Xiao Zhang.He slapped the talking hooligan on the face: "You are more shameless than me, who the hell gave you courage?" Turning around, he smiled and asked Hou Yi, "Is Chang'e really that beautiful?"

He opened his mouth to greet other people's daughters-in-law, or asked about uncovering the scars. Rao Hou Yi and other people wanted to jump and scold the street, so he gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger for a long time, and said: "If you have such a respected person, I don't need to worry about it!"

Before Xiao Zhang could speak, Hou Yi had already returned to the bamboo, smacking his mouth, and said to Mei Zhihan, "Look, her father is relieved to hand her over to me, a rascal, what else do you have?" Don't worry?"

When Mei Zhihan heard this, it was like a thunderbolt, but seeing Shuangyu's noncommittal appearance, it was probably true, but the cause and fate were unknown!

Xiao Zhang grabbed Shuangyu's shoulders and said, "Ma'am, I've met the old man and godfather, when will I come back home with you to meet my mother-in-law?"

"Get out!" Shuangyu cursed angrily.

Seeing the ferocious Houyi leave, the ruffians on the side let go of their gripping hearts. Hearing Xiao Zhang's teasing words, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but before his voice fell, he was slapped. Seven meat and eight vegetarian.

Xiao Zhang looked at the ruffian with an innocent smile: "Do you know why you hit you?" Without waiting for the frightened ruffian to speak, he slapped him again. "I just know you don't know! I don't know what you're still doing!" He slapped him both left and right as he spoke.

The local ruffian was completely frightened, grabbed Xiao Zhang's hand, and burst into tears: "Brother, why exactly?"

Xiao Zhang was startled, withdrew his hand and said angrily, "I don't know why!"

Not to mention the rascals, even the three of Shuangyu were dumbfounded.

"You don't even know that you still ask others!?" Mei Xiaohan couldn't help shouting outspokenly.

"I'm not ashamed to ask, don't talk if you don't understand!" Xiao Zhang scolded.Turning around, he smiled and said to the local ruffian: "Why did you hit you earlier? Let's turn the page, let's not discuss it. Let's talk about my slap! Let me slap Xiao Zhang, it's your eight generations of ancestors who have accumulated virtue, yes The glory of your family forever, you just said that your grandfather is the number one scholar in the founding of the country, that is a family of etiquette, I give you such a great honor, don't you show it? Don't go too far, just slap 20 taels of silver! A total of five strikes before and after, 100 taels cannot be more, I will be angry if there are too many uncles!"

Although the conditions are stinky and shameless, but finally saw hope, the ruffian hurriedly rummaged through his body, but he didn't expect that it was not enough, and handed it to the present cowardly: "Master...Master, there are only 92 taels left. It's..."

"I don't bring much money when I go out. I don't know how to get rich!" Xiao Zhang was so angry that his teeth chattered, he rounded his arms and slapped him again.Immediately, he said kindly: "92 is 92, don't worry, I'm a good-natured person, I'll give you that slap and a half!"

"Can you give half a slap?" Mei Xiaohan teased with relish.

The ruffian who just came back lost his soul in an instant, grabbed Xiao Zhang's hand tightly, and cried with snot and tears: "Master, I am very grateful to you for giving me a slap and a half. Dare to trouble your old man!"

Xiao Zhang seemed to be very useful, patted the ruffian's face, and said: "I just like you, a child who knows how to be satisfied, go home quickly, your mother is waiting for you to come home for dinner!"

As if they had received an imperial decree, the ruffians stumbled out of the Dragon King Temple!

Xiao Zhang wiped his cheeks, moved his waist, overturned the incense burner and the offering plate without warning, and finally knocked down the table with his palm... This "eating people's food, smashing people's pot" I was doing the job well, and suddenly my heart moved, I bent down and picked up the tablet on the ground, it turned out to be a big book inscribed in gold, "Haotian imperial seal of the great dragon god of the rain, the dragon king of the Yangtze River", smiled wryly and shook his head, and rearranged the spiritual tablet, thinking to himself , no wonder I feel that there is no aura here.

"Wow, my conscience actually found out that the iron tree is really blooming! Oh, no, does this guy have a conscience?" Mei Xiaohan teased.

Xiao Zhang looked up at the statue of the Dragon King, as if he was talking to himself: "It's not my wish to pick on orphans and widowed mothers!"

Orphans and widows, how could the Dragon King have orphans and widows?All three of them were a little taken aback.
