After dinner, the four of them took an early rest. The four of them got up early before dawn on the second day. After getting dressed, they left the north gate of Taiyuan and headed towards the northwest bamboo forest.
Along the way, everyone speeded up their pace, walking as fast as flying, for fear that only three people could divine in one day, and others would take their place.
After a while, there were gradually more bamboos on the roadside, and a thatched hut appeared vaguely in front of me. When I got a hundred meters away from the hut, I saw that the hut was surrounded by green bamboos. The leaves were like green jade. The bamboo forests were scattered in an orderly manner. There were many bamboos. Bamboo shoots burst out of the ground, standing tall and tall. As the spring breeze blows, the rustling sound is like sweet music.
The entire bamboo forest cabin has a feeling of clear willows. Shangguan Yuan was about to knock on the door, but he heard the melodious sound of the guzheng coming from the wooden house. The tune was soft and soothing. Sometimes the tune was like a dragonfly touching water, soft and gentle, sometimes like sparkling waves and continuous, the whole tune was like a fairy. Joy, fresh and refined, everything in the world is like dust at this time, meaningless.
Mei Hanyue stopped Shangguan Yuan and signaled to listen to the music. Everyone stopped and closed their eyes to listen to this peerless music.
I don't know how much time passed, but everyone was deeply immersed in the sound of the piano. At this moment, the sound of the piano slowly ended. The four of them felt regretful and just listened to it a few more times.
I could only hear the man in the wooden house say: "The four people outside the door have been waiting for a long time. I wonder what you are doing here today?" The voice of the man in the wooden house was hoarse and low, slow and not urgent, as if he was the person in the house. People are old, that's why.
But after all, I felt that this voice was different from ordinary old people. However, through a wooden door, I couldn't see the appearance of the old man in the room clearly. Zhou Xing didn't think about it carefully and replied: "I really feel sorry for disturbing my seniors in the early morning." . But I heard that the senior has superb fortune-telling skills, and the junior came here to ask the senior about the whereabouts of an object." The old man in the wooden house gently played the piano and asked slowly: "From what the young hero said, it seems that it is an important thing, but I don't know what the young hero is looking for. What is it?" Zhou Xing said: "It's a bit ridiculous. What I want to find is the right horn of the ancient evil god Chi You." After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Although the residents of Taiyuan regarded this fairy as an outsider. , but it is unclear whether the whereabouts of Chi You's horn can be found out.
After a while, no response was heard from the wooden house, and the surroundings were silent. Zhou Xing was confused, did this senior know where Chi You's right corner was?
He blurted out and shouted towards the wooden house: "Senior!?" The old man in the wooden house responded in a deep voice, his voice full of questioning, and said: "Where did you hear about this thing in Chi You's right corner?" Zhou Xing replied truthfully: " It's a long story. The Shangguan brother next to me was a military attache in the capital. He was ordered to escort an imperial escort back to the capital. Unexpectedly, he was robbed by an evil object on the way. According to the evil man, the thing he robbed was Chi You's right horn. " Zhou Xing's words were extremely shrewd. Firstly, he made it clear what happened. Secondly, he also pointed out his purpose. He was not coveting Chi You's right corner.
The third person named Chi You's right corner has been taken away by evildoers. If the old man in the wooden house understands the importance of Chi You's right corner, he will naturally tell Zhou Xing and others some information.
As expected, the old man in the wooden house responded: "I see." Zhou Xing struck while the iron was hot and continued: "This junior has low skills and failed to stop the evildoer. Now that Brother Shangguan is guilty of dereliction of duty and is forced to go into exile, I hope to help Shangguan." Brother, I want to find the emperor's escort, and I hope that my senior can accomplish this." The old man in the wooden house thought silently for a while, and replied: "The good or bad cause of this matter has not yet been determined, so how about I let Xing Xingzhan make some calculations?"
"Then I'll thank you, senior." After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he took a step back and signaled that he was waiting for the answer from the old man in the wooden house.
Everyone was standing in the bamboo forest, and they could only hear the sound of thin words coming from the wooden house. It should be the old man doing divination.
About a moment later, the old man said loudly: "So that's it. The young hero is passionate about ancient ways, eager for success and righteousness, which is very admirable." At this point, the old man paused and continued: "It's just that Chi You's right corner is very important, even if Being involved in endless turmoil, doesn't it matter to the young hero?" The old man's words clearly indicate that Zhou Xingyi and others have already understood the story and experience they have had along the way, otherwise they would never be able to tell the story.
"That's it." Four words. This fairy girl is indeed as magical as the legend says, can she divine the past and the future?
! A hope arose in everyone's hearts. As for the question asked by the old man, Zhou Xing was already calm in his heart. Since he was expelled from Dugu Clan and experienced many accidents, Zhou Xing has long lost sight of his own life and death. He is also an orphan and has nothing to worry about. There is no one to care about, no one to care about oneself, and the world is free to wander, wouldn't it be happy?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xing replied calmly: "I am a prodigal son who has nothing to worry about. Even if there will be endless hardships in the future, if I can do a good deed, I think it will be worth it." These words, Zhou Xing said very firmly, with a sense of going forward in his tone, and he had absolutely no regrets about his choice.
The old man stopped answering, but just thought in his heart: "The free and easy firmness in this young hero's words is admirable. He is a person worthy of entrusting him with important tasks. Now the only thing is to fight against the incoming enemy. Everything starts from Thinking of this, Xiangu said loudly: "I believe that the young hero can be entrusted with great things. In this case, please take care of me when we go into battle together in the future." After saying this, everyone was full of doubts and surprises. The implication is that the old man in this room wants to fight with everyone, and there is a murderous aura in the old man's tone, as if the enemy is coming soon.
Why is this? Zhou Xing couldn't help but wonder: "Senior, what do you say?" Before the old man could answer, he only heard a bang and a hole was opened on the roof of the cabin. Coming out of a hole, a woman jumped out of the roof and stood on the roof beam. She was dressed in white silk and satin clothes, with a wisp of white silk gauze hanging on her shoulders. She was holding a guqin in her hand. The breeze blew and stirred the girl. The woman's long hair was flowing, and her gauze was fluttering. Everyone looked at her and saw that this woman was probably in her early twenties. Her facial features were as natural as those of a person in a painting. Even a fish and a goose, and a moon and a flower in the moon are not enough to describe her beauty. This shocking appearance made everyone crazy.
The woman in white jumped down from the thatched hut and stood in front of Zhou Xing. This sudden change surprised Zhou Xing, and then he had a thought in his mind. Could it be that the old man in the house was harmed by this woman?
Zhou Xing's heart tightened, and he held the dragon-shaped sword in his right hand, waiting to pull it out, and asked: "Girl, how did you enter the wooden house? What did you do to the seniors in the house?" The woman in white smiled faintly, and gently He brushed the silver bell cord in his hand and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, young hero, isn't the senior you are worried about here?" These words were echoed by the voice of the old man in the wooden house heard by Zhou Xing and others. No different, after Zhou Xing heard this, he suddenly said: "Senior, senior? No, girl, are you the senior divination in the house?" He never thought that the old man in the house could be dressed up as such a beautiful woman. This was really beyond his expectation, and it also caught everyone's surprise.
Then the woman in white smiled and said: "You still want to call me senior? Yes, I am the divination senior in the house. Do you think I am very old? You have called me senior so many times for no reason, and you have called me old. La." After saying that, the woman in white giggled. The words and laughter were crisp and hearty, and very sweet, just like the song of a lark.
After hearing what the woman in white said, Zhou Xing's face suddenly turned red. He took it upon himself to call such a young and beautiful woman in the room a senior. Although the woman in white did it deliberately, she was teased by her after all. Ichiban really made himself blush.
Mei Hanyue, who was on the side, had been feeling a little uneasy at this time, and her heartbeat was speeding up. She didn't know why, but ever since the woman in white jumped out of the wooden house and appeared in front of everyone, she felt an inexplicable jealousy in her heart.
Especially when Zhou Xing blushed in front of the woman in white, this feeling was even stronger.
"I'm really sorry, it's all my fault for using the title indiscriminately.
. Zhou Xing bowed his hands and was about to apologize to the woman. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the woman in white. The woman in white gently waved her jade hand and said, "Young knight, don't pay attention to such a joke. By the way, I don't know what young knight and young knight are doing." What do you call me? "
"Ah!" Zhou Xing suddenly felt embarrassed. He had only remembered that the "senior" in this house had turned into the beautiful girl in front of him, but he couldn't help but panic. It really harmed the teachings his master had given him when he was in Dugumen. . So he paused and responded slowly: "My name is Zhou Xing, these three are Brother Shangguan Yuan, Miss Mei Hanyue and Senior Ling Zong."
While talking, everyone also waved their hands to the woman in white.
The women in white made greetings one by one and replied: "It turns out it's Young Master Yin. From now on, just call me Zifeng. We are facing a powerful enemy. Let's get rid of them first and then talk slowly." After that, he added: " When you came to me, I had already noticed a demonic aura following me. Although I used invisibility and hiding techniques to prevent you from noticing, the small spells could not escape the magic circle I set up." After that, Zifeng put his thumbs together, closed his eyes slightly, and silently recited the rune words in his mouth,
Then, he threw the gauze on his shoulders forward, and heard a "bang" sound, as if something was hit in the air. Suddenly, two teams of monsters appeared outside the bamboo forest not far from the northwest and northeast corners of the small hut, each with four feathered monsters. This monster was good at flying, with yellow feathers and white wings, and only one huge eye. The head and body shape are similar to those of an ordinary goshawk. They also have sharp claws and sharp beaks and often move in groups. If ordinary people encountered it, they would be either dead or injured. Even those who practiced martial arts would be a little afraid. Immediately, a large number of monsters appeared in the southeast corner, southwest corner and the south entrance to the thatched house. The monsters team was arranged like a prism, surrounding Zhou Xing and his group. Everyone suddenly saw the monsters surrounding them, their hearts trembled, and they felt a deep chill. If Zifeng hadn't broken the magic circle, these monsters had been following them for so long without even noticing. Zhou Xing felt a little sad. With his current cultivation level, he would not be followed by monsters without noticing. Is it because he is not strong enough or are these monsters too strong? He was thinking about the answer in his mind.
Ling Zong concentrated and held his breath, his eyes swept towards the five monsters. After looking over, he found out the number and types of monsters, and said sternly: "There are four Yumei in the northwest corner and the northeast corner, and there are two demons and demons in the southeast and northwest." Zhu Yan Demon Fire, there are two corpse insects, two sorcerers, four feather demons, and one Luo ghost to the south. You should be careful, there are quite a lot of monsters this time and they are difficult to deal with!"
Zifeng added: "Other monsters are easy to deal with. Everyone should be especially careful with the Luo ghost and the magician over there, as well as Yu Mei. This Luo ghost is one of the most famous man-eating demons among the monsters. He is extremely strong. They are four to five feet tall, and have light green skin with long light green hair everywhere. This is their distinctive feature. They usually use their claws to tear apart the enemy. If they are armed with weapons, it will be even more dangerous. And it has a violent temper. Even in the world of monsters, ordinary monsters avoid them. The magician next to it is proficient in the method of gathering monster energy, so it can cast magic spells to treat monsters. If you don't first If they are destroyed, the Luo ghost will most likely be supported by the sorcerer, making it difficult to conquer. As for the Yu Mei, this species is good at flying and is extremely fast, so we need to guard against their air raids!"
"What Miss Zifeng said is absolutely true." Zhou Xing responded after listening.
Shangguan Yuan tightened his grip on the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Leave the enemies in front to me and Brother Ling. Brother Yin Xian, this girl Zifeng looks extremely weak. You have to protect her." After that, Laughed loudly.
Zifeng seemed to understand the teasing meaning and said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan's kindness is very gracious. I don't worry about my little lady. Mr. Yin, I think you should take care of Miss Mei." After that, Wang Wang Xiang Mei Hanyue, who had been silent in the crowd.
After hearing this, Mei Hanyue blushed, feeling a little hot, and said coquettishly: "Me.
I don't need anyone else to take care of me! "After that, he also clenched the dagger in his hand. Only then did Zhou Xing remember the many gaffes he made during the conversation with Zifeng. He couldn't help but glance at Mei Hanyue and thought to himself, don't let Miss Mei misunderstand.
And Ling Zong had been watching this scene for a long time, thinking that this young man and woman should have some indifference, but he hadn't noticed it yet, but now was not the time to talk about love, so let's think about it. , picked up the big sword, rushed to the front of the crowd, and shouted: "Be careful, the enemy is in front of you, everyone concentrates on fighting!"
At this time, the beggar boy was staring at He San expressionlessly. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. He San only felt a little guilty when he stared at him. He quickly shouted at the boy: "You kid You still dare to glare at me, maybe you haven’t beaten me enough just now!”
The beggar boy lowered his head silently after hearing this, and the hands holding his head couldn't help but tighten again and again. When Zhou Xian saw this scene, he didn't know that this statement was probably just a high-sounding statement by He San.
"Oh...since you said that this young man stole your delicious food, but I don't believe it, why not see if there are any residual vegetable residues and smell in his mouth to prove that what you said is true?" Zhou Xian deliberately thought. Expose He San's lies.
"Yes! How could this beggar boy go to Juxian Tower to steal food?"
"Just think about it! How could a beggar get into the kitchen of Juxian Building..."
He San's face turned ugly when he heard this, and the crowd of onlookers also started whispering when they saw this.
