The old mandrill jumped hard on one leg, passing through the corridors with cornices, carved doorways, and curved aisles.
In the past, the layout of Zhuangzi's backyard was his proudest place. It was copied by a master craftsman from the south of the Yangtze River and copied from the manor of a wealthy family. What he wanted was an overlapping layout with twists and turns.
Now, he was running in a hurry, but the road became more and more twists and turns, and the walls were connected one after another. At this moment, he wished he could bulldoze all these things that blocked the road.
If we don't hurry up, those two evil stars will catch up with us!
He is definitely that ignorant country goblin.
Yesterday, I was patrolling the mountains as usual to show off my power to the little monsters around me, but unexpectedly I bumped into a peerless beauty.
The iron shackle of the beauty's handbag came unexpectedly. She only said that she was from a good family who was robbed by thieves, but the tiger also checked the luggage on the horse afterwards.
Iron bow, four-feathered arrows, spells, magic weapons, and that terrifying sword!
Needless to say, the "thief" in this woman's mouth must be a very powerful person. The wisest thing to do is to pretend not to see him and let her come and go. The tiger also thought so at the time, but when he turned around, he saw Nafu
The graceful figure on horseback, the long hair like clouds, the ivory-like skin, the charming face... the old mandrill's eyes straightened with something he said.
Immediately, a surge of courage or greed came to mind, so even with today's banquet of guests, he still kept busy and kept the yellow gelding and all kinds of magic weapons down.
Unexpectedly, lust attracted evil stars, and greed led to a comeback.
When the bearded man grabbed the flying sword that was about to move and frightened the monsters to death, a name finally came to the tiger's mind.
He was the captain of the demon-fighting school and a tough judge. He was well-known in the three southeastern provinces. He was the governor of Long Xiangwei and Yan Xinglie of the Fu Division.
The tiger sat down immediately.
He is just an old mandrill with some skills. He occupies a deep valley and calls himself the Taoist. On weekdays, he only eats passers-by, woodcutters, plunders some beautiful women, and shows off his power in the small pond. Who knows how to kick Zhenfusi?
This ancestor.
He ran away immediately. He didn't want me anymore, Zhuangzi didn't want it anymore, and he didn't want this land anymore. But he couldn't let go of the charming beauty who hadn't even had a kiss yet, so he turned back halfway.
It was inevitable that he would bump into those two evil stars, so he was jumping around desperately on one leg.
Finally arriving at the small courtyard where the beauty was housed, the old mandrill first took a peek at the wall.
Fortunately, there was no evil star in sight, only the two goblins guarding the bride in front of the door. Without saying a word, he quickly jumped into the yard.
"master……"
The two goblins hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, but the mandrill didn't have the time to speak to them, so he immediately started saying:
"Where's Madam?"
"It's inside."
The old mandrill breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly opened the door and entered the house, but did not look at the two little demons who silently exchanged glances.
…………
"Madam, madam, something bad has happened. You said the thief came to the door!"
The woman was sitting on the bedside, wiping the sweat from her forehead. When she heard what the mandrill said, her face immediately turned pale.
"The bearded guy is chasing me?"
"Yes, there is another person"
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry, the thief won't be able to find him here for a while."
As he said that, the mandrill walked over quickly, lifted up the woman's skirt, and exposed the iron cuffs on her ankles connected to the bedside. It took out the key from its arms, opened the iron cuffs, and grabbed the woman.
"Let's leave now!"
But as soon as the woman got off the ground, she let out a soft "Oh!", tilted her body, and fell back onto the bed.
"What are you doing?" The old mandrill was furious at this moment.
The woman rubbed her ankles, her mouth full of grievances.
"The iron chain has been locked for too long, and my feet can no longer walk."
"oops!"
The old mandrill slapped his forehead and wanted to call the little demon outside the door to come in, but when he turned around, there was no human figure by the door.
"That's all."
He bent down in front of the bed.
"My husband will carry you away."
The woman smiled and leaned on the old mandrill's back, quietly holding a mottled gold needle between her fingers.
……………………
When Li Changan broke into the backyard, what he saw was chaos.
Those who set fire, those who robbed, those who fought, those who howled...
The weird monsters were doing all kinds of things. The Taoist priest killed a few of them and scattered them with the birds and beasts. But then, the corridors one after another and the road with nine turns and eighteen turns made Li Changan dizzy. dizzy.
Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, I bumped into a familiar white face and hurriedly hid in the corner.
The Taoist priest caught up with him in two or three steps, but there was no trace of him. Only a set of clothes lay on the ground, and a cauliflower snake was burrowing into the grass cage, snaking all the way, fluttering and dropping powder.
The Taoist priest had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the tip of the tail and swung it like a whip.
With a "pop" sound, the cauliflower snake suddenly fell into the Taoist's hand, pinched it by seven inches and lifted it up.
"Mr. Liu, we just met yesterday and we meet again today. Isn't this fate destined by God?"
The snake spat out messages and hissed, just like an ordinary flower snake wrapped in powder.
"No, I mistakenly recognized the snake..."
The Taoist priest's face seemed to be smiling, but the cauliflower snake vomited the letter even more cheerfully.
"...I heard that snakes are gallbladders and their eyes have been dry lately. I am not the Willow Messenger..."
Before he finished speaking, the cauliflower snake hurriedly spoke human words and revealed his identity.
"No, no, it's me, shemale..."
"Um!"
"...Taoist Priest."
Messenger Liu immediately changed his words and begged in a hissing voice:
"You have so much magic power, why bother embarrassing a little goblin like me."
The Taoist laughed and let go of the cauliflower snake.
"We are old acquaintances in this demon nest, so I won't embarrass you..."
As he spoke, he wiped off the powder on his hands.
"Tell me, where has the tiger gone? Where is the bride?"
…………
"This is the courtyard."
The cauliflower snake introduced Li Changan into a small courtyard, and the Taoist priest saw the word "happiness" posted on the door at first sight.
"The tiger comes to this courtyard first, and the bride is also locked up in this courtyard."
After saying that, it held the orchid finger and moved a few steps to the side.
"Young ones only know this... look here..."
"How troublesome."
The Taoist priest thanked him.
"Why."
The cauliflower snake got the answer and ran away without a trace.
The Taoist priest glanced around a few times, then stepped into the room with his sword in hand.
The house was decorated with red silk, red lanterns, and red paper. The whole room was filled with a cheerful red color, which made the pool of blood and corpses on the ground less eye-catching.
The corpse was a strange creature, like a one-legged baboon. From the clothes on the body, Li Changan confirmed that it was the tiger. The Taoist got closer and looked carefully. The tiger fell to the ground. There was no struggle around or on the body. The only wound, which was also a fatal wound, was from the back of the head, which was a blur of blood and flesh. Brains, blood, fur, and bone fragments were mixed together. It was deeply sunken and sputtered in all directions.
Judging from the experience of Taoist priests who often open gourds to monsters and bandits, most likely they were beaten to death by repeated heavy objects without any defense or resistance.
"It seems that the bride is not too fond of the groom."
The Taoist priest smiled and picked up some blood on the ground, his tentacles were still warm.
He stood up, cut off a piece of cloth, and used the tiger's demon blood to handwrite a dragon jade talisman.
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
With a press of the sword finger, the curtain turned into flying ash.
He has already used his ability to look after the house at Jingmen and summoned the nose god "Chonglong Jade".
………………
The demon girl may have known about Li Changan's ability. Along the way, she wandered around and burrowed into the smelly places, either the garden or the toilet. In addition, the monsters don't like to be clean. It's not obvious when they don't do it.
The layout of this Zhuangzi is unique, but it has a vague smell, but when it evokes "Chonglong Jade", the smell... is like searching for durians with your nose by the manure tank.
Even though Li Changan had been tested for a long time, Leng Buding was also a little distracted by the smell.
He struggled to distinguish the residual smell left by the witch. After turning around several times, he saw that not to mention the human figures around him, even the monsters were gone. Finally, the Taoist priest had to admit that he let the witch get away.
He sighed and shook his head, turned around to look for the bearded man, and as soon as he passed through a cave door, he bumped into a bright red wedding dress when he turned the corner.
