Not a fairy guest

The rain kept beating on the bluestone road, making a "plop" sound. If it weren't for the fact that a few people were busy dealing with the mirror demon and the gentle wind and drizzle, it would have been particularly pleasant.

In the Song family mansion, Lu Yingchao stood outside a guest room in the east courtyard, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.

With a "squeak", the person who opened the door was the old Taoist priest. Seeing Lu Yingchaohou who was standing in front of the rain curtain at this moment, he was quite surprised, thinking how could this young Taoist priest who was usually indifferent and indifferent suddenly suddenly He came to me, but still smiled and asked: "Friend Lu Dao, how come you are so leisurely and elegant to come to Pindao? Could it be that you have some entrustment regarding the mirror demon?"

The young Taoist smiled and shook his head and said: "Old senior, there is no need to worry too much. I have already made arrangements for the Mirror Demon. I came here this time just to have nothing to do. I happened to meet a fellow disciple when I went down the mountain. I felt generous, so I took the liberty to think about it. Say a few words of 'homely' with the seniors."

The old Taoist priest naturally knew what Lu Yingchao meant by "homely things", but he was not easy to refuse in front of people, so he had to bite the bullet and welcome the young Taoist into the door. At worst, he would say, "I am a poor Taoist who has been away all the time and has no idea what is going on in the door." Closed off, incomprehensible.”

After entering the guest room, Lu Yingchao and the old Taoist priest sat looking at each other, but the latter was sweating and thought of a lot of words to answer the young Taoist's question.The girl who had been following the old Taoist priest for a long time finished making a pot of tea for the two of them and then lay on the table, tilting her head and looking at the two Taoists, one old and one young.

Lu Yingchao nodded to express his thanks, took the teapot and filled the tea cup in front of the old Taoist priest. The steaming water covered up the old Taoist priest's panic expression at the moment.

The young Taoist smiled lightly and said, "I wonder how many years has passed since the old man came down the mountain?"

The old Taoist priest was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Lu Yingchao to ask such an innocuous question, so he replied casually: "It's embarrassing to say that I am a poor Taoist who relies on a little bit of Taoism. It should have been fifteen years since I left the mountain and set foot in the world." Oh, why would Fellow Daoist Lu ask this?"

"I see……"

Lu Yingchao nodded and continued with a bitter look on his face: "Looking at the stroke techniques of the senior, I think they come from the lineage of Master Jingqiu. I often hear Senior Brother Xuanfu mention that our original talisman technique in Sifang Mountain is also quite good. In order to be profound, there has been no news for more than ten years since Uncle Jingqiu left the mountain, and the disciples of that line have gradually declined. In addition, the Tao of Talismans was originally mysterious and profound, and there were very few disciples willing to devote their efforts to it. The disciples of this line have lost their incense."

The old Taoist priest ignored it, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, pretending to be impressed.

Lu Yingchao glanced at the indifferent old Taoist priest, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Old senior, you can also see the situation now. Such ridiculous things happened in Yu County, which was originally under the shadow of the master's gate. Although now I have Sifangshan still claims to be the best immortal sect in the world, but in fact the talent is withering and the head is in seclusion. In addition to the hard support of senior brother Xuanfu, there is also the tit-for-tat confrontation of the Cangshan Sword Sect and Penglai's secret squeeze, which is also the third sect. There are internal and external troubles. Since senior is the successor of Master Jingqiu, please wait until the matter in Yu County is settled before returning to the master's gate with me."

The old Taoist priest trembled after hearing Lu Yingchao's words. He inadvertently took a big sip of hot tea and stuck out his tongue in a panic, causing Yang Qing to burst into laughter.However, the girl did not quite agree with Lu Yingchao's words. She had been traveling around with the old Taoist priests all year round, and she had heard about the three famous sects in Zhongzhou. All Taoist sects in Zhongzhou, large and small, respected Sifang Mountain. There are floating disciples, resulting in the popularity among the people being far less than that of the Cangshan Sword Sect, which is known as chivalrous. Although it has been silent for a long time in recent years, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its foundation alone is also stable under Penglai. .

At first, the old Taoist thought it was just a few polite greetings between fellow disciples, and he thought he could cope with it, but the young Taoist said what he said became more and more wrong. With his intention, he actually wanted to take him back to Sifang Mountain. Is this okay?Fortunately, the old Taoist priest had a sudden thought, rolled his eyes, pointed at himself and said without blushing, "I understand the meaning of fellow Taoist Lu, but the Taoist method is too humble. You see, if I were capable, I wouldn't be able to do it." As for the day when I was beaten up by the mirror demon, I am afraid that the only thing I can do is draw a peace talisman, something that is not on the table. If I were to carry forward the Sifang Mountain talisman, it would make other sects laugh. Do you want me to teach the disciples of Sifang Mountain a magic talisman? How can I show off in the market? Besides, Pindao and my little girl have been working together, and they have become comfortable and carefree in the past few years."

Yang Qing laid her head down, blinked her clear eyes and glanced at the old Taoist priest, wondering if her father was really a disciple of Sifang Mountain in the past?But why I have never heard him mention it since I can remember. Firstly, I had preconceptions, thinking that Sifang Mountain, which is known throughout Zhongzhou, should not have such an unreliable disciple. Secondly, I saw the old Taoist priests relying on this name. He was a bluff, but now that the truth revealed from this young Taoist priest's mouth, I'm afraid his father is really a disciple of Sifang Mountain.
After Lu Yingchao heard the old Taoist priest's reply, he finally sighed and turned to look out the window at the drizzle.

Yang Qing asked curiously: "Sifangshan and Cangshan Sword Sect belong to the same three sects. Cangshan is famous for its chivalry, and Sifangshan is famous for its ability to conquer demons. Needless to say, Sifangshan can be regarded as the authentic sect of Zhongzhou Xuanmen, so why are they tit for tat?" ?”

The young Taoist shook his head and kept silent. It's not that he didn't want to tell the girl, but he didn't even know the grudges and grudges. Logically speaking, among the three gates, Zenxin Temple has always been independent of the world, and Sifang Mountain is gradually declining. , far from being able to shake Cangshan's position in Zhongzhou, but even so, Cangshan also intends to suppress Sifangshan. Disciples from both sides exchanged a few polite words in the open, but secretly would fight each other with swords if they disagreed. After several frictions, due to The Cangshan Sword Sect has a large number of people, and the Sifangshan disciples are often the ones who suffer.

The old Taoist priest looked at Lu Yingchao with a cold look on his face and said, "What? Everyone is scratching their heads. Since the sect is in trouble, why don't you step out and take charge of the overall situation? With him in charge, those stupid people must not dare to Such a leap of faith, hey, it turned out well for him. He was the one who left the mess behind and became the shopkeeper. To put it bluntly, he didn't care about it. Why did you come to ask me to go back and do something else? It's better for the tree to fall and the hozen to disperse!"

Lu Yingchao withdrew his gaze and knew who the old Taoist priest was talking about. His expression looked quite helpless as he said: "Old senior, I don't know something. Master stopped caring about the world six years ago and devoted himself to practicing in seclusion and understanding the shackles of heaven and earth in order to seek immortality." , before going into seclusion, I discussed with several elders and handed over the entire affairs of the sect to Senior Brother Xuanfu. In the past few years, Senior Brother Xuanfu has worked hard to rectify the sect's style, and all the brothers have seen it."

The old Taoist priest's face was unusually gloomy and uncertain. He stopped talking and took another sip of tea.

Seeing the silence, the young Taoist stood up and said, "I'm going to go take a look at the formation to avoid making any mistakes. As soon as noon comes, I'll do it with soul summoning."

The old Taoist priest nodded and watched Lu Yingchao walk through the door.

The girl looked at the old Taoist priest with complicated eyes and said very seriously: "Dad? Why did you never tell me these past things?"

Yang Qing tilted her head. The girl in front of her seemed to be meeting the old Taoist priest who had raised her for more than ten years. She was curious and continued to ask: "And when will you get magic, Dad?"

The old Taoist priest turned his head and saw the rain pouring in. He stood up and took down the fork in front of the window. He turned his back to his daughter who was full of doubts. He smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me? I never told anyone in my fortune telling." I am a Taoist priest from Sifang Mountain? You don’t believe it yourself."

Yang Qing was obviously dissatisfied with the old Taoist priest's answer to the question, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, you know that's not what I said!"

The old Taoist priest smiled knowingly, took the girl's question, and said: "You want to ask dad about what happened on Sifang Mountain? I only learned a few talisman painting techniques from your master to protect myself, but I like to study those fortune-telling quilts. It is something that the people of Sifang Mountain Sect hate deeply. As for how to live on the mountain, it is actually not worth mentioning. My father has been annoyed by the rules and regulations on those mountains since he was a child. He also doesn’t like Xuanzhi and mystical Taoism and magical powers. How can you patiently learn that kind of thing? Look at the old man in charge, what did he cultivate in the end? He was bullied to the point of being bullied. He still stayed behind closed doors and acted like a coward. The bastard shrank his head back and even knew he would take a bite of it. Cultivate the Tao, what the hell! I feel as free and carefree as my father."

The girl smiled and said: "Don't others know that I don't know? Every time my father tries to trick someone, he always rolls his eyes beforehand. Is he probably telling a lie to Director Lu? Oops..."

The old Taoist priest bent his five fingers and hit the girl on the head with neither light nor hard.

The girl who was rubbing her head looked aggrieved. After thinking about it seriously, she tentatively asked the old Taoist priest: "Dad, I also want to learn Daoist Master Lu's sword-wielding skills. Can you teach me?"

The old Taoist blew his beard and glared: "You girl, it's really easy to stand and talk without pain. If I could do it all these years, I would have used it a long time ago! There is no need to carry you like this through mountains and rivers so exhaustingly, and meet a jackal, wolf, and tiger." Leopard, do you still need to oil the soles of your feet?”

Yang Qing stuck out her tongue, with a look of innocence and cuteness on her face, and said with a smile: "But Dad, if I didn't travel with you, wouldn't you have a lot less fun? There is no one to talk to you, how lonely it is. ."

The old Taoist priest nodded subconsciously, "That's true..." Suddenly he came back to his senses and glared at the girl, and said angrily: "What is it? Dad raised you so big, and all you know is you have sex with me all day long! And what happened just now? Whatever doesn’t work, take out the pen and ink and draw the symbols!”

When Yang Qing heard this, she immediately lowered her head, said oh, and took out the yellow paper and pen and ink from her luggage.At some point, the rain gradually became heavier, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with haze and the clouds were like ink.

Yang Qing dipped her pen into green ink and dropped it heavily.

saliva jade beads...
-
When everything is arranged, just wait and see whether the mirror demon comes.

At this time, in addition to the messy red ropes and yisheng money in the courtyard, the young Taoist also carved large formations outside the house. When Miss Song returned to her boudoir again, he used Taoism again, and saw flying swords. The moment it came into contact with the center of the formation, the golden light flashed and was hidden in the sky without any trace.

The old Taoist priest was crouching outside the window, holding a talisman in his hand. He happened to catch a glimpse of this from the corner of his eye, and suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and he was amazed.

Yu Nian was more serious. At this time, he was asking the old Taoist priest about the purpose of the talisman. However, no matter how he asked, the old Taoist priest only said one sentence: This talisman is very powerful and cannot be used casually.

Of course, the young man is not stupid. He has seen with his own eyes that these two large piles of talismans were randomly drawn by the old Taoist priest. They are very powerful, but he does not believe his lies.

"Chief Immortal, how do you use your True Yang Talisman?"

"Hey! This True Yang Talisman is my most proud work in my life. It is taken from the Six Ding Divine Fire. It is extremely powerful. You kid, be careful of setting yourself on fire! Do not use it unless necessary."

"What about these Five Thunder True Techniques? Throw them all out?"

"Elm head! There are only three Five Thunder True Techniques in total. The poor man's fortune and life depend on them. Don't use them easily until a critical moment!"

Maybe he couldn't stand the quarrel between the old Taoist priest and Yu Nian, but he still felt that the two of them were too noisy. Just when Haishi was about to pass and midnight was approaching, the young man who was arguing with the old Taoist priest suddenly felt a chill to his bones. A dark wind suddenly rose in the originally quiet and peaceful courtyard. Then, Miss Song, who was still in the bronze mirror, was awakened by the sound of the wind and turned around suddenly.However, the strange thing is that the front of Miss Song is still shown in the mirror. In just a blink of an eye, the courtyard feels as gloomy as a secluded house.

He had a premonition that the Mirror Demon was about to appear, but what was different from the last time was that because he had already seen the Mirror Demon's true appearance, and there were two Sifang Mountain Immortals sitting in charge, Yu Nian not only wasn't nervous, but was actually a little excited.However, at this critical moment, the young man lay on the wall holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to slack off at all, for fear of accidentally disturbing the mirror demon.

Lu Yingchao, who was hiding in the dark, saw this and did not act rashly. After all, the ability of the mirror demon was a bit strange. The reason why the old Taoist priest easily hurt the mirror demon last time was because she did not know the True Yang Talisman. Moreover, the mysterious woman also He didn't know where he was hiding, so neither the old Taoist priest nor Lu Yingchao took action rashly, they were both waiting for the opportunity.

Just with the sound of shattering in the room, the Blue Sky and Red Dust Mirror was suddenly broken into several pieces. However, even though it was scattered on the ground, the figure in the bronze mirror did not disappear, but was divided into dozens of pieces along with the broken pieces on the ground. Numbers are reflected in each uneven mirror surface.

Lu Yingchao did not expect that this mirror demon would not hesitate to destroy his own life. Although her strength was not restricted by the magic circle, and burning true energy could greatly increase her spiritual power, this place was already trapped by his magic circle. , as long as her true energy is burned out, she will be completely destroyed.So he walked straight to Miss Song's boudoir courtyard, bent down and squatted in the formation that had been arranged. Just as he was about to touch the center of the formation, he suddenly felt a shiver in his heart, slapped the ground with his right palm, and stepped forward two steps backwards. With more than ten feet, he could barely avoid the dagger coming from the front door.

The young Taoist looked around. The courtyard was still covered with red lines. In addition to the sound of the winning coins hanging on the red lines shaking in the wind and rain, there was also the sound of the silk harp.Lu Yingchao stood up suddenly, heard the sound of the piano and looked towards the distant courtyard wall, only to see a man in green clothes sitting on it, with his slender hands gently stroking the strings, which made the rain even more chilly for no reason.Lu Yingchao stared intently at the woman he had just nearly killed at his hands, but he had already expected her arrival, but he did not expect that she would actually enter the battle to fight with him.

The woman in green clothes stopped composing music, gently adjusted the curtain and hat on her head, and said almost with a cry: "The day after tomorrow will be fifteen, but it's just a little bit that I will be able to see my mother again. Obviously I have nothing to do with you. There is no hatred, but you can turn a blind eye and listen to nothing in front of the grave! How can you pretend to be a good person!"

She tried her best to emphasize her tone and continued: "Taoist priest! Even if you are from Sifang Mountain, even if I am not your opponent, even if you can win by chance and be hunted by Sifang Mountain in the future, you will fight with your life today! You must give up even if you don't die. You shed a layer of skin!"

Lu Yingchao took a deep breath, as if facing a formidable enemy. Looking at this woman who spoke in anger but her voice was as gentle as a trickle, she didn't expect that he would have such a murderous intention. Now that Feijian is still maintaining the formation, naturally I don't dare to be too big.

"Then do you know that Qin Huakui in the grave just wants to sleep in peace, but you actually want to do something against heaven and make her unable to rest for more than twenty years. There is nothing more vicious in the world than this!" The young Taoist said with a light thumb. Pushing the mortal sword hanging at the waist, there was a faint sound of metal friction.

A look of astonishment flashed across the brows of the woman in green clothes, and she did not reply. She jumped up and stood on a tree in the courtyard. In the process, her hands did not stop stroking the strings.Accompanied by the sharp sound of the piano, several figures flew in from outside the courtyard wall.

Lu Yingchao held his breath and glanced at the tree. Although the woman in green clothes covered her face with a curtain, she could not hide her strong murderous intention and made it clear that she would not stop.Lu Yingchao saw that the woman in green clothes was helping the emperor, but he still had no intention of changing his mind, so he immediately drew his long sword.

The falling raindrops do not affect the puppet's movements at all.Accompanied by the cold sound of the piano, the puppet moved smoothly and quickly, turning sideways and reaching out to pat the young Taoist's head.

Lu Yingchao held a long sword and chopped down the puppet's head.

The green-clothed woman's eyebrows tightened, her hand stroking the strings increased, and the puppet's strength suddenly increased.The puppet, which was about to retreat from the attack, straightened up and made a clanging sound from its body. Without dodging, it caught the young Taoist's sword forcefully.

Lu Yingchao felt a huge force pass from the sword body to his hand.The first move failed to succeed. I thought that the puppet was not made of flesh and blood and was not conducive to close combat. After putting some distance away from the puppet, I used my peripheral vision to observe the movements of the woman in green clothes. I saw the woman in blue clothes at this time. The woman's hands were flying up and down, and the shadows of her hands were connected together.When the sound of the piano reached his ears, it became more urgent and surging, making him feel as if he was caught in a huge wave.

Lu Yingchao's expression became a little more solemn, and the long sword in his hand flew up and down to meet the rapid attacks of several puppets.Although the puppets look messy, they are orderly in the chaos, and they attack and defend according to the rhythm of the piano.

As the rain became heavier, the two seemed to be singing in harmony. The scene did not look murderous, but more like a performance.If you don't know about it, you will think that they are "Bo Ya meets a bosom friend".However, the actual battlefield is full of murderous intent. If two people are careless, the other party will find a flaw, and they will be seriously injured or even killed.The sound of the piano combined with the clang of the sword made it seem as if two people were not fighting, but thousands of troops fighting bravely amidst the sound of war drums.

The puppets of the woman in green cooperated tacitly to the sound of the piano, attacking one after another without a single useless attack.Killing moves continued one after another, and Lu Yingchao gradually found himself in crisis.

At this time, Lu Yingchao was like a billet of iron in a furnace, undergoing countless tempers, waiting to finally become an indestructible weapon.The stalemate between the two made the woman in green a little anxious. Any further delay would only consume more spiritual energy. She alternated her hands and began to dance quickly.
