Chapter 223 Scored twice (Sito flashback)
Fengdu is gloomy all the year round, and few young heroes who seek immortality and tourists who go sightseeing will be interested in this place, so there are not many inns in the city. When I came to the inn, it was a pity that I searched around and only found a place called 'The Inn of Death'. The name alone is enough for the underworld.
The owner of the Rebirth Inn is an old woman named Aunt Ma. The oil lamp is dim, and the withered yellow light shines on her face. Although she looks a little gloomy at first glance, she is also easy-going.
If it was in another place, Zhou Ji would definitely open five guest rooms without hesitation, but considering that this is Fengdu ghost town after all, for safety reasons, he still only opened three guest rooms, and he lived in one alone. Xu Changqing and the others share a room, and Solanum nigrum and Xuejian live in the middle, so that even if they are in danger, they can have someone to take care of them.
Seeing that Tang Xuejian seemed a little scared, Aunt Ma was leading the way, and said quietly: "Little girl, you must stay in the room honestly after nightfall, and don't look around curiously when you hear any movement. It's best to be blind." Sleep with the quilt until dawn."
Tang Xuejian nodded again and again, but in her heart she was scolding Zhou Ji for choosing a place. If she had known that she would have to drive all night, she would have to avoid this place.
Back in the room, Tang Xue's first reaction was to jump on the bed, shrinking into a silkworm chrysalis, with only her head exposed outside the quilt, ready to shrink into the quilt barrier at any time.
"Xiaokui, close the door quickly, and the windows, the windows must be locked."
"Seeing sister Xue, it's actually not that scary~"
Solanum nigrum looked at Tang Xuejian with some helplessness. Since she died as a sword for more than a thousand years, she has spent most of her time living in places like Buzhou Mountain and Suoyao Tower. The mere ghost town of Fengdu is nothing to her. It's not a big deal at all. Seeing Tang Xuejian's appearance as if the wind and cranes are screaming, she raised her chin and thought about it, and said in relief, "This leads to the ghost world. In fact, there are still many interesting places, such as the ghost world. There is a reincarnation mirror, as long as you stand in front of the mirror and silently recite the name of the person you want to see, if he has not reincarnated, he can come out to see you."
Tang Xue was stunned when she heard the words, and the fear in her heart really dissipated a lot, and the appearance of her grandfather before she was alive appeared in her mind. Tang Xue's eyes immediately became wet, she got out of the quilt, and said anxiously: "Then my grandfather... Will I be able to see Grandpa again?"
Solanum nigrum thought about it, "If he hasn't been reincarnated, it should be possible."
Solanum nigrum gave a general account of how she went to look for her brother in front of the reincarnation mirror. Tang Xue felt a little uneasy after hearing this.
Just when she was full of entanglements, the door knocked softly. When she opened the door, she found that it was Zhou Ji and Xu Changqing.
"Xiaokui, can you go out with me and Changqing?" Zhou Ji smiled.
"Huh?" Solanum nigrum looked hesitantly at Tang Xuejian who was sitting at the table, and said hesitantly, "Now?"
Zhou Ji nodded and said, "Mount Shushan's sword repairs are mostly on the sword, and Changqing's flying sword is seriously damaged. I want to take him to the city to find a substitute flying sword. I think you are more familiar with it, so I came to call on you."
After saying that, Zhou Ji pulled out a reluctant figure from the side of the pillar and said, "As for Miss Xuejian, don't worry, let's go back quickly, Sedum can stay and protect her."
"Hey~! My hero Jing hasn't agreed yet?" Sedum broke free from Zhou Ji's grasp, brushed off his clothes, raised his head and said, "If the pig woman begs this hero, I can still consider it." of."
Zhou Ji glanced at Tang Xuejian who was in a depressed mood, grabbed Sedum by the collar and put him into the room, and said with a smile, "Then you should think about it here first, we will be back soon."
"Hey~! Lao Zhou, come back to me~!" Sedum Ba yelled at the door, but no matter how much he yelled, he still didn't chase him out.
Walking out of the inn, the sky was already approaching dusk, Solanum nigrum looked back at the direction of the inn worriedly, and asked hesitantly, "Where are we going?"
Zhou Ji didn't answer Solanum nigrum, but asked about Xu Changqing's flying sword.
Mentioning Feijian, Xu Changqing's mouth was full of bitterness.
Pulling out the flying sword full of cracks from behind, he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect the Demon Lord's strength to be so terrifying. It almost shattered my primordial spirit brand with just one blow. Right now, I only rely on the magic power of the five teachers to maintain it. I can only wait for it." After this matter is settled, slowly find a new flying sword and transfer the Yuanshen brand to it."
"Most of the sword cultivator's cultivation base is on the sword. It's really not easy to fly in the air." Zhou Ji sighed softly, then smiled, "There happens to be an excellent flying sword in the city right now. It can’t catch up with the Demon Sword and Demon Sword, but it’s quite rare, at least in the current Shu Mountain, there’s probably no sword that can match it.”
Xu Changqing was shocked when he heard the words, Solanum nigrum's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Brother Zhou Ji is talking about Tai Chi sword?"
The sword is famous for being Taiji, obviously it is made by Taoist practitioners, Xu Changqing asked doubtfully, "Miss Xiaokui also knows this sword?"
"That's Murong." Solanum nigrum glanced at Xu Changqing next to him, and quickly changed his words, "The flying sword refined by Jiuzhou Sanren in the past, he took me to the underworld to find my brother, because without the help of senior Zhulong, he had no choice but to I used this Tai Chi sword to get a token to pass through the ghost world from a ghost king in the outer layer of the underworld."
Xu Changqing didn't know whether the candle dragon mentioned by Solanum nigrum was the one he knew from ancient books and legends, but how could he not know the name of Kyushu Sanren?
After all, it was they Shushan who snatched the magic sword from the sword mound of the scattered people in Jiuzhou back then, and locked it in the demon lock tower.
Givening Solanum nigrum an apologetic look, Xu Changqing asked Zhou Ji: "Brother Zhou Dao, do you know where this sword is now?"
Zhou Ji touched his nose and said with a smile, "Maybe it might be in a weapon shop?"
"Weapon shop?!" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, seeing Zhou Ji walking away, he hurriedly stepped up to follow.
Walking into a store, as expected, a long sword with a Taiji pattern was placed on the corner of the counter, with a price tag of 12,000 taels, which was outrageously expensive for a poor man like Sedum, but for Xu Changqing , Gritting one's teeth, but it can also pay off.
Back to the inn, the sky had completely dimmed, and as night fell, the city became more and more gloomy and cold.
Seeing Zhou Ji and the others return safely, Sedum and Tang Xuejian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in a eerie place like Fengdu, the fear brought by ghosts and ghosts far exceeds that of physical monsters they have encountered before. .
Seeing that Solanum nigrum has returned, Sedum has no reason to stay here in Xuejian. After greeting each other, he and Changqing returned to their room.
After closing the door, Jing Tian turned around and saw that Xu Changqing was placing a long sword that he had never seen before and a flying sword full of cracks side by side on the table, Jing Tian looked around the table , Surprised, "You guys are talking about something very important. Could it be that you are helping Bai Doufu buy a new flying sword?"
Xu Changqing slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, and told Jing Tian about going to the weapons store to buy a Tai Chi sword today.
"Why don't you call me this kind of thing? I grew up in a pawnshop, and the most powerful thing is this pair of eyes." Jing Tian stretched out his fingers to compare his own eyes, then pointed to Xu Changqing, annoyed, "Should I If I go out, I will definitely be able to lower it by a few thousand taels."
Xu Changqing shook his head slightly, with a long-lost smile on the corner of his mouth, "This kind of magical weapon is not measurable by worldly silver taels. There is actually no difference between higher and lower."
Seeing Xu Changqing's hands seal and his eyes closed again, Jingtian recalled what Xuejian had just told him about the reincarnation mirror, so he tiptoed to the door, thinking about asking next week Ji, if he could change the way A trip to the underworld, let Xuejian go to the reincarnation mirror to see grandpa for the last time.
At this moment, the door of the inn opened without wind, and Aunt Ma held up the oil lamp, only to see a ball of purple air that was so expensive and flickering, and then saw that this ball of purple air was a woman in a purple dress with a Young woman in tulle.
"Young lady is full of noble spirit. She is unspeakably precious. If she is not from the fairy world, she must be someone who has attained the Tao." After sighing, Aunt Ma turned sideways and said, "Girl, please~"
Zi Xuan nodded slightly. Although she was wearing a veil, her eyes were smiling, giving off the warmth of a warm spring breeze. "By the way, is there anyone living here recently?"
Aunt Ma led the way: "Today, there happened to be a group of people staying on the second floor. Is the girl looking for them?"
"I'm just asking casually." Zi Xuan smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.
Room on the second floor.
Jing Tian heard the movement from outside, just opened the door, and saw Aunt Ma appearing in front of him holding an oil lamp, Jing Tian tactically leaned back, and couldn't help complaining: "Aunt Ma, you scared me to death. "
"I tell you not to go out after nightfall, and ignore the noise. What are you peeking at?" Aunt Ma frowned.
Jing Tian saw the fleeting purple gauze in the corner through the crack of the door, regained his composure, pointed to Zhou Ji's room and said, "I have something urgent to talk to Old Zhou, it's that stinky man. "
Aunt Ma held the oil lamp and glanced at the direction Sedum was pointing at. A look of doubt flashed in her cloudy eyes. She put down the lamp, and Aunt Ma said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it after dawn."
"All right, all right." Sedum shrugged, and just about to close the door, she suddenly stopped Aunt Ma and asked, "Aunt Ma, have you heard of the reincarnation mirror?"
"You all came here for the mirror of reincarnation?" Aunt Ma was taken aback when she heard the words, then turned around to look at Jingtian in a daze, and said with a frown, "The mirror of reincarnation is located in the Yin Division of the underworld. To get there, you need to cross the ghost world. It may be beyond redemption!
If you come here for this, leave early, lest you waste your life. "
Mentioning this matter, Aunt Ma persuaded Jingtian with earnest words, and Jingtian had no choice but to say a few words when he saw the situation, thinking of sending Aunt Ma quickly, and then went to Zhou Ji to ask his opinion.
Tang Xuejian lay quietly at the door and listened to the conversation between the two. She had never heard the story of 'Little Horse Crossing the River', and she didn't know which of the two was right. She just compared the words of Aunt Ma and Solanum nigrum, and fell into various Kind of confused.
"Xiaokui, is the underworld really so dangerous?" Tang Xuejian raised her head slightly, and pressed Solanum nigrum's chin, Solanum nigrum said cutely, "No, I have been to the underworld twice, but I don't seem to have met what Aunt Ma said. those things."
"How did you get there the first two times?" Tang Xuejian frowned.
"Did you just go in directly?" Solanum nigrum snapped her fingers and said, "The first time was on Buzhou Mountain. Senior Zhulong helped us open the gate of the underworld, and we were there when we walked in."
"Buzhou Mountain Candle Dragon" Tang Xuejian didn't realize until then that the little girl in front of her had lived for more than a thousand years. Although she was a little ignorant of the world, some things she experienced were enough to make many people dumbfounded.
"I don't need to elaborate on the first time, let's talk about the second time"
Solanum nigrum let out an 'oh', and continued: "The second time I was taken by the Sanren of Jiuzhou, he used a Tai Chi sword to reach a ghost king outside the underworld, and exchanged her for a token to pass through the underworld. And then it's over."
Tang Xue saw that the corner of her mouth twitched, blocking the black nightshade, and said with a hand on her forehead, "Understood, let's wait for Aunt Ma to leave. Let's go to Xia Zhouji and see what he has to say."
Solanum nigrum nodded, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Zhou Ji will definitely help you."
Aunt Ma and Sedum were still talking non-stop, but Zhou Ji didn't hear any movement outside the house.
Because from the moment Zixuan entered the door, the entire room was blocked by a layer of restriction, and neither sound nor breath fluctuations could penetrate it.
In the room,
Purple smoke lingered in the room, and the light and shadow were psychedelic. The enchanting woman in front of her also became like a dream.
The vermilion lips parted lightly, exhaling the fragrance of violets, and the blurred eyes were full of charm.
The two are close at hand.
Zhou Ji's eyes reflected Zixuan's beautiful eyes, deep in the sea of consciousness, and the last clearness kept warning, but he struggled for a moment with his inferior cultivation base and magic power, but he still couldn't resist the blooming flower at the opponent's fingertips. Bai Hua, just before his consciousness collapsed, Zhou Ji murmured:
"Why are you doing this?"
"I don't want to grow old, I want to keep the most beautiful appearance forever so that Yeping can remember that I fell in love with me."
Lightly put your palm on Zhou Ji's chest, draw a circle around your heart with your fingertips,
Round and round, Zixuan sighed softly,
She finally relented.
As a human race, even if Zhou Ji has a thousand years of cultivation, if he directly took out his heart, it would be tantamount to cutting off his life.
Zi Xuan coveted Zhou Ji's remaining thousand years of life, and didn't want to hurt Zhou Ji's life. After thinking about it, Zi Xuan looked at Zhou Ji's slightly closed lips, lowered her head and kissed her.
"Boom~"
In an instant, the restraint in the room shattered with a bang, and three sword auras poured out from the broken door, sweeping away the purple mist and lifting the falling tulle.
Xu Changqing subconsciously caught the purple tulle. The familiar color and fragrance made him subconsciously push away Sedum, broke into the room first, and then froze in place.
"啪~~"
Maybe it was a slight difference, or maybe it was a real kiss. In a trance, there was a half phantom of a cold and arrogant woman with willow-leaf eyebrows and slender eyebrows protruding from Zhou Ji's heart.
This crisp slap slapped the defenseless Zi Xuan on the face.
It was as if he scored twice, waking Zhou Ji awake.
