The courtyard was brightly lit, and on the large round table in the room, seven women in different clothes were sitting on round stools. After three rounds of drinking, there was already a touch of blush on their cheeks.
Since we were all relatively familiar with each other, it was not interesting to sit and drink together. Halfway through the meal, I suggested that we start playing wine chips.
Neither Yuhu nor the Queen Mother got on the boat, so it was not appropriate to take out the lottery tube at the dinner table. For this reason, the game was just about telling the truth, asking questions and answering questions, and everyone took turns.
Ye Jingtang sat between Sanniang and Ning'er, and next to Ning'er was Shui'er.
As a master, Shui'er will definitely not let Ning'er go easily. She does not shy away from her master's identity at all and dares to ask all kinds of messy questions, such as:
"What did it feel like to pout for the first time?"
"Have you ever had any trouble outside the house or in the Night Terror Hall?"
…
Ning'er couldn't resist this kind of problem that kept her talking about something. She basically drank when it was her turn. She was already too drunk, but after a few laps, she drank it all. But she was the next one, and she still had to clean up.
No water.
After she couldn't bear it any longer, Ning'er, who was relatively thin-skinned, also gave up. After it was her turn to ask questions, she turned to look at the little thief pretending to be a puppet next to her and asked:
"Night Terror Hall, who is the hairless girl on the table?"
As soon as these words came out, the bustling wine table suddenly became quiet. Several girls had strange looks in their eyes. Even Ben Ben sat up a little straighter and glanced at the sister next to him.
Yuhu had a very strong mind. He swayed his wine glass slowly and waited for Ye Jingtang's answer, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
Shui'er, on the other hand, didn't blush at all, and instead held up the side of her face with her hands, jokingly saying:
"Ning'er, there is more than one hairless girl on this table. If he could really say it, he might not be able to walk out of the house standing today. Right Huaiyan?"
The Queen Mother was eating melon with a smile on her face. When she heard these words, she was stunned and turned around:
"Why are you mentioning me? I'm not hairless... bah bah..."
"Ha ha……"
Upon discovering that the Queen Mother had committed suicide, several sneers suddenly erupted from the table, and the Queen Mother's face turned red with shame.
When Ning'er heard this, she thought the Queen Mother was also a white jade tiger. She thought the question was inappropriate, so she changed her words:
"Forget it, let me change the question. Night Terror Hall, what is the most outrageous thing you and Sanniang have ever done?"
Sanniang was also eating melon, but when she saw Ning'er turning around, she said dissatisfied:
"Ning'er, you know how to be a quarrel, right?"
When Ye Jingtang saw that the girls were being more open-minded and making jokes about Maomao, he was naturally not too reserved. He thought for a while and said:
"The most daring thing was that Fairy Lu helped me carve a jade carrot that said, 'Mr. Xiang has many gray hairs overnight'..."
"Shock!"
Before he finished speaking, his waist and eyes were twisted in a circle.
Sanniang gave it to her before and after, but Ning'er didn't accompany her, so she is still doing whatever she wants now, which is embarrassing.
Seeing that Ye Jingtang dared to mention it, she blushed, stood up and pushed Ye Jingtang out:
"When you get drunk, you go out to sober up, and you tell anyone about everything you have and what you don't have..."
When Ye Jingtang saw that the obedient Sanniang was so embarrassed that she wanted to beat him up, she gave him a slap and was pushed out of the room to sober up.
Qinghe sat next to Sanniang. Seeing Sanniang's reaction, he was a little confused and asked Ning'er quietly:
"Miss Ning'er, what is a jade carrot?"
Ning'er didn't have the nerve to answer such an embarrassing question in public. Her eyes flickered and she felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Shui'er was kind-hearted and helped explain:
"It's just a small ornament. I'll carve one for you later."
Dongfang Liren is next to her sister on the left, and she is sitting next to Fan Qinghe. Although she has never played with such tricks, she has read the picture album of Heroic Lady Tears and knows that the jade radish should be a magical weapon to subdue the enchantress.
Although she wanted to see how that method worked, it was too unbearable for her to join forces with her master to bully Miss Fan, so she still leaned closer and explained:
"If you are curious about the objects used in the boudoir, just let Master have time to demonstrate them to you..."
"Li Ren, you deceived your master and destroyed your ancestors, right?"
"Ha ha……"
…
There was laughter in the room, but there were still whispers outside the door.
Night Jingtang listened to the daughters-in-law making dirty jokes to each other, with smiles in the corners of their eyes. Seeing Sanniang's face flushed, gently fanning her hands, and also sobering up under the eaves, she hugged her waist and leaned to her ear:
"Are you shy?"
Sanniang was too embarrassed to see people because of the topic just now. She was afraid that she would be caught holding her, so she pulled her hands away from her waist:
"There are guests in the house, what are you doing? You wake up and I'm going in..."
With that said, he turned around and returned to the house.
Ye Jingtang smiled, turned around and looked around a few times, and then looked for the bird in the yard.
It turned out that Xiuhe and Hongyu were sitting in a side room, eating melon seeds and chatting secretly, while Niaoniao was squatting on the small table between them, begging for food one bite at a time.
Ye Jingtang had just taken a look in the corridor, and before he had time to ask the two maids what shameful things they were talking about, the sound of trotting suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and the footsteps were quite rapid:
Tap tap tap~
Ye Jingtang's eyes moved. After looking at the hall where people were still busy eating, he jumped up over the courtyard wall and landed silently in the alley on the side. When he looked up, he saw Yunli holding an oil-paper umbrella coming from the street.
Ran back.
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang came to the entrance of the alley, waved, and asked:
"Yunli, why did you come back just now? I just waited for you to eat, and after not seeing you for a long time, you have already started eating..."
Zhe Yunli quickly came to the front, with a hint of anxiety on his cheeks:
"Brother Jing, something seems to have happened. Master is missing."
"Um?"
When Ye Jingtang heard this, he couldn't help but was stunned. He took the umbrella and held it on Yunli's head:
"Gone?"
At this time, there was a noise in the courtyard wall, and the empress in a red dress also flew out from the courtyard wall, landed in front of the two of them, frowned and asked:
"what happened?"
Zhe Yunli was a little nervous when he saw the empress, but he didn't dare to delay at this time and explained:
"Didn't I just go to Master to intercede? Master was in the room and asked me to wait for a while. Then I fell asleep. Then there was a 'bang' from the next door. I ran in to take a look. , I found that the house was in a mess, the walls were smashed, and the master was nowhere to be found..."
When Ye Jingtang heard this, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
When this happens, it is very likely that Bingtuotuo discovered the strongman whose whereabouts were unknown, and was sneaking around or snooping in the dark before suddenly breaking through the wall.
Bingtuotuo is currently the Martial Saint's goalkeeper like him. He did not catch him on the spot but chased him out. This only shows that the opponent's martial arts skills are not far behind.
This is Jingjie City, and Bing Tuo Tuo lives next to the palace. If a master who can arm-wrestle Bing Tuo Tuo really appears, it will be no small matter. In all likelihood, it will be someone from the Four Saints sent by Beiliang to deal with him. people.
Thinking of this, Ye Jingtang became serious, turned around and said:
"I'll go over and take a look. Just stay home and don't run around."
Zhe Yunli was a little worried about her master's safety, but in this unexpected situation, she might be delayed, so she just nodded at the moment.
Yuhu knew that Ye Jingtang's injury had not recovered. If he encountered Master Xiang Han and his ilk at this time, he might not be able to escape unharmed if he teamed up with Xue Baijin, so he thought about it and followed him:
"I'll go with you."
For the sake of safety, Ye Jingtang did not refuse and took Yuhu with him to escape into the night rain...
———
L……
The inn where Xue Baijin lived was located in the downtown area, not far from the palace. As something strange happened, a large group of police officers rushed to the inn and searched up and down the inn. There were also a bunch of people eating melons on the street, whispering to each other:
"what happened?"
"It seems there was a thief. I was cooking mutton next door just now, and there was a bang upstairs..."
…
Ye Jingtang, wearing a black robe, silently fell behind the crowd. Seeing Xiao Wang, the "back door gun", blocking the scene at the entrance of the inn, he raised his hand to signal, and several black police officers quickly began to clear the scene:
"The yamen is doing business and everyone has dispersed..."
"Let's go, let's go..."
After the onlookers were dispersed, Ye Jingtang took Yuhu to the second floor of the inn, found the room where Xue Baijin lived, and entered it to take a look.
The room was originally very tidy, but at this time some broken tiles and rainwater had been scattered. The luggage and other items must have been put away by Xiao Yunli to prevent the government from discovering that there was no other debris in the room.
Yuhu walked into the room and looked around, then looked at the bed with the quilt lifted, and then at the cracks on the floor:
"She was meditating on the bed just now, and suddenly she got up and hit the wall. Her footing didn't seem to be very stable..."
Ye Jingtang squatted down and touched the floor where he stood, and found that it was shattered into pieces and was soft to the touch of his fingers.
A large gap appeared in the wall of the original window and connected to the roof, and raindrops could fall into the house. It can be seen that the force of the jump was extremely strong, and it flew at least more than ten feet.
Ye Jingtang came to the edge of the ruins and looked towards the gap. Then he came to a wall more than ten feet away and found traces of cracks from being stepped on. He turned around:
"Going north."
The empress raised her eyes to look at the north and frowned:
"Out of the city in the north is Tianmen Gorge. She won't be lured out of the cave and run outside the pass, right?"
Beyond Tianmen Gorge, there is the territory under the jurisdiction of Beiliang. Thousands of troops are also stationed there. Xiang Hanshi and Lu Taiqing are trying to contain each other. If they have not left, they may stay there now.
Ye Jingtang thought about this and did not dare to delay for a moment. He jumped up and followed the footsteps and quickly chased towards the north.
Although the empress does not like the female rebel who dared to take off her clothes, Xue Baijin has hope of being recruited. As long as she is successfully recruited, she can become the future pillar of the Wei Dynasty like Ye Jingtang. If she is destroyed by Beiliang now or
Pulling it over would definitely be a loss for her.
Therefore, the empress realized that something was wrong, so she did not take it lightly. She flew up as light as a wild goose and followed beside Ye Jingtang. During the flight, she did not forget to put her umbrella in front of her to break the wind, and blocked the rainwater completely.
The two of them were running so fast that it took only a moment to jump over the high wall of Jingjie City.
The geographical environment in the north of Jingjie City is special. There are only a few miles of flat land, and various fortresses and walls have been built, and soldiers and horses are stationed at all times.
The Qingjiang River bypasses the outside of the city, forming a natural moat. The upper reaches of the Qingjiang River is a canyon that stretches for more than 20 miles. The cliffs on both sides are as sharp as a knife, and there is no place to walk.
When Xue Baijin entered the canyon, he must have walked on the water and would not leave any traces. After Ye Jingtang and the Empress entered the canyon, they lost their bearings and could only follow the river to find it upstream.
There was no light in the canyon, and only a sliver of sky above the head could be seen. The empress was walking beside her, and as she entered deeper and deeper into the Night Terror Hall, her brows slowly frowned:
"Go forward and you'll cross the center line. There will be a secret sentinel from Beiliang. Please pay attention."
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang slowed down, suppressed all sounds, and listened carefully to the movements deep in the deep canyon.
As a result, after walking for a while, I discovered a horizontal crack on both sides of the canyon, and there seemed to be traces on the stone wall.
Seeing this, he flew up and hung on the stone wall. After looking at it for a while, he found that it was a guide dug out with his fingers. Looking at the direction, he used force to jump up. He raised his head and said:
"On top."
Seeing this, the empress held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, tapped her palace shoes back and forth on the stone walls to the left and right of the crack, and then jumped to the top of the canyon.
Ye Jingtang followed closely behind. It can be seen that there are rugged mountains above the canyon. There are not even a few trees, and there are exposed rock walls everywhere. It is difficult for ordinary people not only to walk, but even to stand. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff.
wall.
Swish, swish, swish~
Under the soft whispers, there was deathly silence above the canyon, and not a single light could be seen.
Ye Jingtang listened carefully and found a vague sound of breathing deep in the mountains half a mile away.
Seeing this, the two of them became alert. Ye Jingtang held the saber and walked in front, leading Yuhu towards the place where the sound of breathing was. When they turned the corner of a boulder, they could vaguely see a figure under the boulder.
The figure sat cross-legged under the boulder, barely sheltered from the rain, with a familiar white skirt casually thrown beside it.
The figure's long jet-black hair had fallen down and rested on Xue Nixiang's shoulders. His skin was red, and beads of sweat were rolling down his neck. They followed the collarbone and converged in a semi-circular arc towards the center, disappearing between the white chest.
Although the white thin pants underneath were intact, they were soaked with sweat and stuck to the buttocks and legs, showing a light flesh color. If the light was better, you could probably see the outline between the legs.
Although the figure's meditating posture was extremely upright, the iceberg-like cheeks now showed a bit of pain, and his brows were knitted together with sweat pouring down from his face. It seemed that he was trying his best to even maintain his breathing.
Ye Jingtang was stunned when he saw this scene, quickly retreated to the corner of the boulder, and shouted:
"Miss Xue?"
The empress was quite worried at first, but when she saw this scene, she became speechless, with a playful look in her eyes:
"Xue Baijin, what are you..."
Before she finished speaking, the empress saw Xue Baijin sitting cross-legged under the boulder and suddenly opened her eyes.
Although Xue Baijin looks cold, his eyes are standard fox eyes. The lines are slender and extremely flexible, and if you look closely, they still have a sense of charm.
But at this moment, her eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and turned into blood red. She looked like a fox demon who had escaped into the evil way in the deep mountains and forests. The instinctive alertness and hostility actually made the empress feel a little bit nervous.
Feeling of enemy.
The empress noticed something was wrong and immediately let go of the oil-paper umbrella and stepped back:
"Watch out!"
Poof——
It was also at this moment that Xue Baijin, who was sitting cross-legged on the same spot, did not see any movement, and the whole person had shattered the rocks and stood up from the ground, flying deep into the mountains.
Ye Jingtang originally retreated to the side of the boulder to avoid suspicion, but suddenly the strong wind came. He realized something was wrong, and immediately rushed out from behind the boulder. He quickly rushed forward and grabbed Bing Tuo Tuo's wrist, trying to hold her back.
But Xue Baijin's background is too deep, and his martial arts accomplishments are integrated into his instincts. Even though his eyes are blood red and he does not look awake, his skills are still fluent. The moment his wrist is caught, he has already grabbed Ye Jingtang's forearm with his backhand, and pulls it close at the same time.
Chongzhang.
Bang——
This was so loud that the empress behind the Night Terror Hall felt a little bit depressed.
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang blocked it hard with his right hand. It turned out that this palm was quite mysterious. It contained the vast energy and pushed it with amazing force, but there was no impact. When the right hand touched the energy, it exploded, and he was ejected hard, hitting him directly.
On the Empress.
The Empress pressed her breasts hard against Ye Jingtang, and the strength passed through her body and was transmitted to her body, causing her to slip out two steps. However, her hand movements were not slow at all, passing around Ye Jingtang's armpits and clasping her.
Xue Baijin’s right wrist:
"Lock her up!"
Ye Jingtang didn't need to be reminded at all. He never let go of his left hand. Seeing that Bing Tuo Tuo's hands were trapped, he wanted to kick him away. He rushed forward, got under his arms and came to his back, with both arms
While tightening your upper body, lift your legs, lock them, and roll backwards.
Bang——
Although Xue Baijin's martial arts skills were high, his brute force was obviously not as strong as Ye Jingtang's. Being hugged and thrown like this, he immediately lost his balance and fell straight back to the ground.
With Ye Jingtang acting as a meat mat, Xue Baijin did not fall to the ground, but Ye Jingtang hit the rocky ground hard enough to create cracks.
Ye Jingtang almost used all his strength to lock the arms and legs of Xue Baijin who was trying to break free, and shouted urgently:
"Wake up! It's me!"
The empress also pressed forward and pressed the wrists of Xue Baijin's hands that wanted to move, and at the same time took her pulse:
"Her energy and blood are too excited, but she doesn't seem to be possessed. What's going on?"
Ye Jingtang felt that the body in his arms was like charcoal, and he couldn't lock it even with all his strength. As his mind raced, he suddenly realized something and turned around and said:
"Did you deduce the bathing in fire diagram yourself?"
When the empress heard this, her heart skipped a beat, knowing that something big had happened.
It is impossible to predict what will happen when you deduce the Minglong Diagram by yourself. If it is too distorted, it is impossible for Xue Baijin to turn into a three-headed and six-armed monster on the spot.
The empress saw that the pulse was still like a person's and was not so chaotic that it was difficult to distinguish, so she quickly asked:
"Where is the Bathing in Fire Picture? Where is it?"
Ye Jingtang hugged Xue Baijin's upper body. He first glanced at the skirt not far away. When he found that it was not there, he looked at the chest wrap that had an unusual curvature:
"On the chest."
Seeing this, the empress almost straddled the two of them, pressed down Xue Baijin's erratic hands with her knees, groped in the chest-wrapping compartment, took out the Singing Dragon Picture from it, and quickly brought it to Xue Baijin's eyes:
"Look!"
Because she was in a hurry, the empress did things very rudely. She didn't even pull the breastband tightly when taking the dragon picture, and the two northern hemispheres almost slipped out.
But Ye Jingtang, who was holding his upper body, had no intention of admiring it at this time. He just looked at Xue Baijin's side face and urged:
"Look, look, look..."
But what shocked the two of them was that Xue Baijin was not very obedient.
Xue Baijin was obviously still conscious, otherwise he would not have run away when they met, and he remained silent even after being subdued by the two men.
When Minglong Tu came closer, Xue Baijin, who was staring at the empress, actually closed his eyes!
?!
Ye Jingtang and the Empress were naturally stunned when they saw this scene.
Ye Jingtang asked inexplicably: "What's going on? If you practice the Minglong Diagram wrongly, you can still dominate the magpie's nest and prevent the host from seeing the real picture?"
The empress was also confused. After all, as long as a warrior of Xue Baijin's level had the will to save himself, even if he completely lost consciousness, he would instinctively walk towards the path of survival and would not be able to avoid it on his own initiative.
The empress thought about it and wanted to open her eyelids for Xue Baijin to see, but Xue Baijin turned her head to avoid it.
?
The empress was stunned for a moment while holding the Minglong Diagram, then she came to her senses and said coldly:
"It's because she doesn't want to see it."
"ah?"
The empress glared angrily and said: "Do you want to die? If you don't take care of it now, something will happen. Even if we want to save you, we won't be able to save you."
Ye Jingtang thought about it for a while, and gradually understood the general reason - Xue Baijin must have wanted to do the same as him after getting the bathing in fire picture, and then compare it with the real picture to see how much he was wrong.
But halfway through, Xue Baijin realized that something was not right. He was afraid of going crazy in the city, so he ran to the deserted mountains and retreat alone, focusing on adjusting the direction of his energy channels and trying to modify and control his body.
Because he had not completely controlled his body, he immediately chose to run away when he saw them coming. Unfortunately, his escape failed.
As for my refusal to look at the real pictures until now, that’s a better explanation.
Xue Baijin has been invincible for many years, and his talent is unparalleled in the world. He is known as the successor of Fengguan City.
Yuhu deduced the five dragon pictures on his own, and so far everything is fine.
He deduced the Evergreen Chart without any troubles or accidents.
If she deduces a picture and ends up being rescued by two people, will she be regarded as 'Xue Benben' by Yuhu and him and be unable to hold her head up for the rest of her life?
After Ye Jingtang figured out the whole story, he was speechless in his heart and said into Xue Baijin's ear:
"Are you crazy? Are you still brave when your life is at stake?"
Xue Baijin closed her eyes tightly, letting the rain sprinkle on her cheeks and chest, with the back of her head facing the Night Terror Hall, without saying a word, but secretly regulating the energy and blood in her body.
The Empress has performed the Minglong Diagram before and knows the risks involved. This is the first time in her life that she has encountered such a stubborn donkey who is not afraid of death.
When she saw Xue Baijin being stubborn, she put her hand on her breast:
"Don't you look at it? If you don't look at it, I will tear off your clothes and let him see them clean."
Xue Baijin closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if his whole body was absorbed in concentration and he didn't notice anything outside at all.
When Ye Jingtang saw that yelling was not enough, he seriously advised:
"Don't be stubborn. A thousand people can make a thousand mistakes when deducing the Minglong Diagram. The sequelae depend purely on luck and have nothing to do with talent. Yuhu's talent is so good that he faints every day. After I deduced the Evergreen Diagram,
, I looked at the real picture right away, otherwise I might not know what’s wrong now..."
The empress was not a gentle and gentle woman to begin with. Seeing that this woman refused to accept her softness, she raised her hand to pull off the breastband as a warning without any further effort.
However, Ye Jingtang felt that Xue Baijin's aura was slowly stabilizing and stopped him:
"She's getting better, don't rush her."
As he spoke, Ye Jingtang tried his best to be calm and said:
"We will protect you and won't rush you. You can deduce it slowly by yourself. But if you encounter trouble, don't take the risk and try to be brave. Look at the picture immediately and don't be swayed by the desire to win or lose. Even if you don't deduce it well today, I will still run away halfway.
I came here to bother you, no one is laughing at you..."
Wow~
It rains heavily on the mountains.
The empress sat on the two of them, looking at Ye Jingtang patiently coaxing the stubborn donkey, her eyes a little speechless.
After waiting for a while, the empress's red dress was soaked through. She raised her hand to tangle the hair sticking to her face. She simply sat on Xue Baijin's belly, folded her arms around her chest and said:
"You can't coax this stubborn donkey, so don't waste your time talking. If you want to look at her chest, just look down at her. If you care about her so much, how can she beat you so hard afterwards?"
