Chapter 949 Snow Demon Arrives, Immortal Plans
"I am only responsible for preventing demons who steal demon spirits from escaping the capital. I will leave the task of checking those who enter the city to you." Qin Yao pondered for a moment and turned to Zhong Kui said.
With the original movie as a reference, he knew very well the reality of the convoy under the city.
As expected, the heroine Snow Demon is sitting on the carriage, and all the Loulan beauties in the carriage are fairies from the devil world...
Once these fairies enter the city , will definitely attract Zhang Daoxian's attention, and then he will be able to relax a little bit.
It is said that it is easy to fish in muddy water. In fact, the muddier the water, the easier it is to hide...
Zhong Kui is still just an ordinary demon slayer. Facing an expert like Qin Yao, he is naturally weak. .
So even if he was the nominal commander-in-chief of Hudu, he could only run down the city to check the convoy.
“Who is sitting in the carriage?”
After taking a few of his men to look through the convoy’s parcel boxes, Zhong Kui held the hilt of his knife and came to the tall carriage. .
Inside the carriage, a pair of plain hands opened the curtain, revealing a pretty face as pure as ice.
"Xue'er~" Zhong Kui looked at it infatuatedly and murmured.
“My little girl Xue Qing has met the adults.”
Wearing a silver wreath and a white robe, the unparalleled ice and snow beauty walked lightly on her lotus steps and stepped out of the carriage.
“Xue Qing?” Zhong Kui frowned slightly: “Are you not Xue’er?!”
"My lord must have recognized the wrong person." Xue Qing said lightly: "This is the first time in my life that this little girl has come here."
Zhong Kui stared at her for a long time, then slowly backed away and raised his hand. : "Let go!"
The soldiers who blocked the convoy immediately dispersed. Xue Qing glanced at Zhong Kui indifferently, then turned and returned to the carriage.
“Let’s go.”
At the front of the motorcade, a dark-skinned woman waved her arm, and the motorcade immediately took action and soon passed through the city gate.
"We are a dance troupe from Loulan. We will perform wherever we go. In the next seven days, every night, we will hold a song and dance meeting. I hope you will come to support us." After entering the city, the dark-skinned woman raised her hands to pedestrians from all directions. , said enthusiastically.
At the same time, a veiled Loulan beauty stood on a carriage, showing off her body to the people without any scruples, twitching her fingers, making countless men salivate.
In this Hudu city, you are usually lucky to see one such beauty, but today you saw dozens of them at once, which is really dazzling and confusing.
"Zhong Kui, go and invite Qin Yao to the singing and dancing competition tonight." Zhong Kui stood in front of the city gate, recalling the man who suddenly appeared in his life and then disappeared three years ago. When the Elf of the Snow Land suddenly sounded in his ears, Zhang Daoxian's instructions came.
Standing there in silence for a moment, Zhong Kui returned to the city gate tower with his waist knife in hand, stopped in front of the huge parasol, and said with a smile: "Taoist Master Qin, let's go to the song and dance festival together tonight."< br>
Qin Yao shook his head: "Night is the time when people are most relaxed. I have to guard the city gate tower here to prevent the soldiers from letting the monsters out by mistake."
Zhong Kui thought for a while and said : "There may not be a singing and dancing competition in Hudu for three years. It would be really hard to miss it. It's a pity. Let's do this. You come with me at night, and I will ask the immortal to guard the city gate tower at night." Qin Yao thought about it and immediately guessed that this invitation should be Zhang Daoxian's order, otherwise Zhong Kui would not do it. With such persistence, I should have given up when I refused for the first time.
"Forget it, since you said so, how can I deny your face?"
"Thank you, Taoist Qin." Zhong Kui said gratefully.
Qin Yao waved his hand, closed his eyes, and began to ponder Zhang Daoxian's thoughts.
What is certain is that the other party has not completely ruled out the possibility of their master and apprentice committing crimes.
The main purpose of letting Zhong Kui invite him to participate in the singing and dancing competition should be to make himself "move".
In this crisis-ridden moment, the more you say, the more likely you will be wrong, and the more you do, the more likely you will be wrong. It is better to be still than to move...
It is night.
The Loulan convoy pulled up a tent in an open space and lit a bonfire. Vendors in the city sensed business opportunities and set up stalls here one after another, creating a lively night market.
Zhang Daoxian stood on the city gate building, facing the night market, his eyes accurately locked on the two people walking among the bustling crowd.
"Dao Zhang Qin, where are you from?" Zhong Kui asked.
Qin Yao: "Wandering around the world, living in no fixed place, so there is no place to come."
"What is the purpose of traveling around the world?" Zhong Kui asked.
Qin Yao smiled and said: "Of course it is for cultivation."
"How high is your cultivation?"
"It's so-so, but it can't be compared with the immortals anyway."
While chatting, the two came to the largest tent. They saw a dense crowd of men surrounding the tent with three floors inside and three floors outside. Considering Zhong Kui's height, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
But fortunately, as an official, he has privileges, but everyone who sees him avoids him, thus giving up a passage forcibly.
Qin Yao caught his light and walked straight to the front row. Looking around, in the middle of the tent, a group of girls wearing colorful long skirts, exposing their snow-white arms and thighs, twisting their slender waists and dancing barefoot to follow the music An almost magical dance.
The men on the three floors inside and outside were stunned. Except for the sound of musical instruments and dancing, there was no noise in the whole place.
Half an hour later, the dance ended and the dancer bowed and exited. A group of cute girls with wine jars hanging on their bodies walked around the stage and sold drinks to the surrounding spectators with a smile.
This jar is not big, it can hold half a catty of wine at most, but the price is one hundred dollars per jar, which is quite expensive.
But now Zhong Kui has achieved financial freedom, he directly took out the gold and silver, bought nine jars of wine tied with a rope from a girl, and hung it around his neck like the girls, but he looked too It is so fierce that the overall image is like Sha Wujing with nine skulls hanging on it.
"Please drink." Zhong Kui unloaded a jar of wine and handed it to Qin Yao, smiling.
Qin Yao waved his hand: "You can drink, I quit drinking."
Zhong Kui silently retracted his arm, pulled out the red cloth stopper on the jar, and smelled the fragrant wine released. He was angry and praised: "This wine is indeed delicious."
"The highlight is here." Qin Yao looked at the dancers in front of them on their way to the stage and said softly.
Zhong Kui took a sip of Loulan wine, savoring the sweet and spicy taste. In his dark eyes, a woman dressed in silver slowly came over and appeared in his eyes, reflecting into his heart.
"Xue'er..."
"My name is Xue Qing, and I am the boss of this team." The woman came to the center of the stage and smiled brightly: "Next, I will perform an illusion for everyone. , I hope it can bring you a moment of happiness."
"Okay!" A tall and strong man in the crowd applauded excitedly.
Afterwards, the audience burst into applause...
Not to mention the illusion that the other party said, this woman's appearance alone was worthy of such cheers.
Xue Qing looked at the big man and said with a smile: "What do you want?"
The big man wanted to say I want you, but in front of so many people, he was too embarrassed to say it: " I want money, a lot of money."
"Do you want money too?" Xue Qing asked everyone with a smile.
“Think!!!” Everyone’s response was deafening.
Xue Qing raised her arms and turned her hands. Suddenly, banknotes fell from the tent, landing on many people's heads, shoulders, and even in their arms.
"Fifty taels!"
"One hundred taels!"
"Seventy taels!"
Everyone present counted the pieces of silver Holding the ticket in his hand, he was so excited that he danced and his face turned red.
Everyone who could see her presence saw the banknotes falling like snowflakes, and among these people, only Qin Yao and Zhong Kui did not reach out.
"Don't you two love money?" Xue Qing quickly focused on them and asked with a smile.
"You said it was an illusion." Zhong Kui said calmly: "Since it is fake, why bother to reach out?"
Xue Qing smiled and said: "The illusion is fake, but they are at this moment The happiness is real! If you two live too clearly, you would not have this kind of happiness."
Zhong Kui turned around and looked at the almost crazy audience, silent.
"Zhong Kui, I'm going back first." Qin Yao suddenly spoke.
“This Taoist Priest.” Xue Qing saw him wearing a Taoist robe and addressed him as a Taoist Priest: “But what did Xue Qing do badly that made you unhappy?”
Qin Yao waved with his back to her and walked out of the tent without hesitation.
Zhong Kui looked at Xue Qing, then at Qin Yao, finally gritted his teeth and followed the latter to leave the place.
Although he has many questions to ask Xue Qing, the most important thing now is to help the immortal determine whether the theft case has anything to do with Qin Yao.
However, when he squeezed through the crowd and reached the outside of the tent, Qin Yao had already disappeared.
"Zhong Kui, come to the city gate tower." Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the Governor's Mansion to find Qin Yao or go back to talk to Xue Qing, Zhang Daoxian's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Huh..."
Zhong Kui exhaled a long breath, raised his breath and lightened his body, heading towards the city gate all the way to Juechen.
"Immortal."
Soon after, Zhong Kui came to the city gate tower and bowed to Zhang Daoxian with a respectful attitude.
"Tonight will be the third day. We can't wait any longer." Zhang Daoxian said with a heavy face.
For the past two days, he had been living like a year, with endless thoughts and regrets surging in his mind every moment.
Zhong Kui's heart skipped a beat and he asked in a low voice: "Are you going to take action against those two Taoist priests?"
Zhang Daoxian waved his hand and said: "No...their origins are a mystery. , and the great supernatural beings have concealed their own secrets, so that even I can’t determine their roots. If I make a mistake, it will be a big trouble whether I kill them or not.”
< br>
If it were normal, he would have countless ways to defeat the master and disciple. But during these seven days, he really didn't dare to mess around, because both heaven and the devil world were his concerns.
How can we say that people must be upright, but if they do something bad, they will be suspicious and hesitant.
“What do you mean?” Zhong Kui asked blankly.
"Before the news of the theft of demon spirits from the demon world reaches heaven, and heaven has not yet asked me about it, I am going to go to heaven and ask the Haechi beast to come down to earth for help." Zhang Daoxian said.
"The Haechi beast..." Zhong Kui murmured and asked, "How can this beast help us?"
"You don't know something." Zhang Daoxian explained: "The Haechi can distinguish right from wrong, judge the good and the evil, the loyal and the traitor. Whenever there are difficult and unresolved matters, the Haechi's judgment will be accurate. Therefore, as long as the Haechi comes, , if we ask the master and apprentice in front of it, we can avoid taking action. Then we can understand the truth clearly."
Zhong Kui nodded silently, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, "When will the immortal come back?"
What if Zhang Daoxian asked Xie Zhi to use it for several days? If so, it's hard to say whether Hudu will still exist when he comes back.
"I will try my best to come back before tomorrow night, the day after tomorrow at the latest." Zhang Daoxian said: "So, the important task of guarding the capital will be left to you tomorrow. Don't let me down."< br>
Zhong Kui nodded heavily: "When the city is alive, people will be there, but when the city is gone, people will be dead."
"Also." Zhang Daoxian patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Don't tell others about my departure. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood." Zhong Kui responded.
"I'm leaving, Zhong Kui. Guard the capital!" Zhang Daoxian retracted his palm, and his body immediately turned into light and left.
Late night.
In the tent of the Loulan convoy, seven women were sitting or lying in silence, as if they were silently waiting for something.
Not long after, a dark-skinned woman opened the curtain and waved a bubble out from her sleeves, covering everyone in the tent and blocking out sounds from inside and outside.
"Sisters, I sneaked into the Demon Suppression Tower, but I didn't find the demon spirit inside. I only found a headless Kirin body." The dark-skinned woman said in a deep voice.
"I heard from the people in the city that Zhang Daoxian put the demon spirit into the Demon Suppression Tower in front of all the people. How could it not be inside?" A female demon murmured.
"Maybe it was just for the common people to watch. After the common people finished watching, the man named Zhang took away the demon spirit." The dark-skinned woman said.
“No.”
Xue Qing said: "He did not dare to put the devil on his body before the full moon night on August 15th.
Because he was not sure that heaven would question him on that day. If on the day of the question, , the demon spirit is in him, then the Emperor of Heaven may directly take away the demon spirit from him. This is He couldn't accept the result.
After all, judging from what the devil told us, Zhang Daoxian did so many things for himself."
"It's not on him, and it's not on the town. Demon Tower, where will the demon be?" the dark-skinned woman murmured.
Two figures suddenly flashed through Xue Qing's mind, and she said in a solemn voice: "It's most likely that it's Zhong Kui or the fierce Taoist priest."
Dark-skinned woman: "Then what should we do?"
Xue Qing thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go to the Duhu Mansion to have a look."
The dark-skinned woman grabbed her He looked at his wrist and said with concern: "As far as I know, Zhang Daoxian lives in the Duhu Mansion, so you just live like this It’s too dangerous to go.” How is it possible to find the demon spirit? "
Yi Wei was speechless.
"Well, I'll go find Zhong Kui first."
Xue Qing touched her cheek and said softly: "With those magic weapons that the king gave me, as long as I don't appear in front of Zhang Daoxian in person, he is I won’t be found. As for Zhong Kui, he won’t hurt me.”
She was sure of the last point!
