Chapter 21 Overnight stay
Miss Shang’s eyes twitched, she closed the book to greet the two, and said in a cold voice, “Thank you for bringing Xiaolu back, my name is Shang Yuan.”
The parrot saw Shang Yuan as if it had seen a savior, flapping its wings to escape from Lu Yang, but Lu Yang let go and let the parrot fly around the room.
"Be careful next time. Fortunately, this parrot has been flying in circles in Taiping Township. Otherwise, if it flies to other places, it will be impossible to find it." Lu Yang reminded with a smile.
Shang Yuan looked at the two people in refined attire, and at a glance, he knew that they were young heroes who had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and were chivalrous.
The outfits of Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye are the ones recommended by Daoist sect's mission hall. Dressed like this, they can pretend to be the kind of young heroes who have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time.
Shang Yuan's attitude is a little distant, I don't know if it's due to his personality or something else: "Xiaolu is back too, you two go back."
Tao Yaoye frowned slightly, not liking the eldest lady's attitude.
Lu Yang acted as if he hadn’t heard the words of chasing people away, and said with a smile: “Let’s chat, the Shang family welcomes us very much, maybe we will stay the two of us overnight.”
Shang Yuan sneered again and again: "The Shang family welcomes you, but it doesn't mean I welcome you. You should leave quickly. It is best to leave Taiping Township."
"There are no ghosts and ghosts in Taiping Township, why did you leave. You haven't left the Shang family for a long time, don't you want to hear us talk about the outside world?" Lu Yang said.
Shang Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Yang to say that, and his tone softened a bit: "Where are you two from? I haven't left home for nearly a month, can you tell me about the world?"
"We come from Daoist sect, one of the five great immortal sects, and we all cultivated in the foundation stage. We came to Taiping Township this time because we heard that there are demon birds disturbing people..."
Lu Yang started to speak in a leisurely manner. He has a gentle voice and is a very good speaker.
Shang Yuan heard that the two were in the foundation building stage, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes.
The three chatted for a while, and Shang Yuan was attracted by Lu Yang's description of the monk's life in hiding, and wanted to go out and see this vast world.
"I want to cultivate immortality, but my father disagrees. He said that cultivating immortality is too dangerous. If he hadn't been lucky in the ancient tomb exploration, he would have died in the ancient tomb."
"I've asked him several times, but he didn't want to tell me." Shang Yuan said angrily, she likes to hear anecdotes, and her father clearly has personal experience, but he doesn't want to tell her.
Lu Yang sighed in his heart, it seems that the Patriarch of the Shang family is also a person with a story.
"What is Patriarch Shang's cultivation?"
Shang Yuan seemed to think of his father's smug face, and rolled his eyes: "Listen to him bragging, he used to practice Qi at the ninth level, but later encountered a catastrophe, he survived by luck, and his cultivation base plummeted, it's not a training The fourth level of Qi is the fifth level of Qi training."
Tao Yaoye said: "It's okay, there are not many monks in Taiping Township, and the strongest Xiangzheng can only practice Qi at the seventh level, and he can live well after practicing Qi at the fourth and fifth levels, not to mention that Patriarch Shang still has some background."
Shang Yuan sighed: "But I don't want to be limited to Quhe County, I want to travel the rivers and lakes and see this magnificent and weird world. You and I are about the same age. You are already a monk in the foundation stage, and I have not yet practiced Qi."
Tao Yaoye was about to persuade her, when she heard Steward Zhang knocking on the door: "Miss, it's time to have dinner. There are two young heroes, the master specially told me that it was getting late, and let the two stay overnight after finishing their meals." Let's go."
"Madam and Huang Xiangzheng are already waiting for you."
"Okay, let's go." Lu Yang replied.
Tao Yaoye wanted to refuse, but was blocked by Lu Yang: "Look, I have already said that the Shang family is warm and will stay us overnight. They are kind, why don't you appreciate it?"
…
At the dining table, the Patriarch of the Shang family was sitting upright, chatting with Huang Xiangzheng, and the others were also enjoying their meal. Although it wasn't as good as Wendao Zong's food, it was still delicious.
The butler Zhang and the servant girl stood respectfully aside, waiting on the left and right.
Enjoyed the meal, Huang Xiang was returning home, Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye stayed overnight in the East Wing, separated by a wall.
Tao Yaoye doesn't really want to sleep here, she is a picky bed person, except for the bed in Wendao Zongdong Mansion, she can fall asleep as soon as she lays down, and she has to lie down for a long time before falling asleep in other places.
"Brother Lu can fall asleep anywhere."
Tao Yaoye talked to herself, not knowing why, she smiled in a low voice, and then yawned.
"I went to bed early today, it seems that I can sleep well..."
Tao Yaoye reacted suddenly: "No! Someone poisoned you!"
She turned around and was about to pick up the Thousand Illusory Umbrella to open the barrier, but found that the spiritual power in her body was clumsy and difficult to mobilize.
She was startled, someone poisoned her without a sound, who was it?
This is poison for monks. If the other party knows that he is a monk but dares to act, he must also be a monk.
There are only a few people in the Shang family. Except for the head of the Shang family, she didn't realize who was a monk.
Is the head of the Shang family?
Or is there a monk whose cultivation base is higher than hers so that she can't detect it?
How is Senior Brother Lu?
A series of questions rummaged through Tao Yaoye's mind in an instant, and she couldn't allow her to think about it, when there were brisk footsteps outside the room.
The door of the room was pushed open, and Steward Zhang walked in all directions with an excited and cruel smile on his face.
"It's you!" Tao Yaoye's eyes widened. She didn't expect it to be Butler Zhang, and her heart sank.
I couldn't tell that Steward Zhang was a monk, which meant that Steward Zhang had a higher level of cultivation than her.
Steward Zhang held a skinning knife in his hand, and Tao Yaoye could feel strong resentment from it five steps away. I don't know how many people died on this knife, and the resentment was soaring.
The moonlight shone on the blade, bright and bright.
Zhang Butler licked his lips and looked at Tao Yaoye who was struggling fruitlessly, as if looking at a ferocious prey that had fallen into a trap.
"What a beautiful skin, I have never seen such white skin with such beautiful lines in my life."
"I know you belong to Daozong. It would be very troublesome to kill you. Daozong's power overwhelms the sky. How can I, a little man, dare to provoke Daozong?"
As Steward Zhang spoke, saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it and said, "But your skin is so beautiful, I couldn't help but take the risk, and you voluntarily stayed at Shang's house for dinner. I don't grasp such a good opportunity to poison you. That would be so ignorant."
Supper is poisonous!
Seeing that Tao Yaoye was still struggling, Steward Zhang advised: "Don't struggle, even if you are not poisoned, you are not my opponent. You have just entered the foundation building stage, and I am in the late foundation building stage."
Although he said so, Zhang Guanjia did not let down his vigilance. The foundation-building period of Wendaozong must not be treated as an ordinary foundation-building period!
Steward Zhang said this because he didn't want Tao Yaoye to resist.
The more you resist, the tighter the skin and flesh are connected, the harder it is to peel the skin. This is a rule of thumb.
"Relax, just a little bit of pain, and I won't be afraid soon."
Steward Zhang licked the skinning knife and approached Tao Yaoye.
Suddenly, Tao Yaoye stood up abruptly, with unimpeded spiritual power all over her body, grabbed the Thousand Illusion Umbrella, and slammed Steward Zhang **** the face.
Zhang Butler had the chance to win, but he was hit by a mistake and couldn't guard against it.
"How could you not be poisoned?!"
