In the boundless darkness, a pale hand was moving on the road holding a white lantern. The cold light shone on a cold, gray and blurry face, and a twisted shadow appeared on the ground. While the shadow was twisting, it was also...
It quickly swallowed up the faint light around it, and finally the shadow was completely swallowed up by darkness.
"The Provincial Secretary Tianjian of the Daliang Dynasty...the Anti-Security Factory."
The man holding the lantern looked up at the government office at the end of the road, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stared at a worn-out plaque on the porch pillar, and read out a line slowly. This line was very long, and in fact the plaque had been deducted: "
These three keywords are "Demon Suppression Division".
"The show... will begin soon."
The lantern gradually dimmed.
Soon after, a slim figure also appeared in front of the inner factory, and Hu Xiaoqian, dressed in plain white, also appeared in front of the gate of the inner factory.
"Haha... Su Wen, do you think I can't find you if you hide here? Once I remember the aura on your body, I will never forget it. You should have been hiding in Qingshan Academy and not come out. Now that you have come out,
So, just submit obediently..." After saying something in a soft voice, she changed her voice, as if she was talking to a different person, and an impatient voice sounded from deep in her throat: "Don't take it lightly,
Since last night, things have been out of our control... There is someone behind the scenes, fueling the flames and secretly helping us... It's hard to say whether this person is really helping us, or if he has other purposes!"
"Yes, it is……"
Hu Xiaoqian's voice sounded again: "That person first helped us raise our momentum, and last night he helped spread panic, making the atmosphere in Wuning City more suitable for our promotion. He even helped steal the sunshine in the city. He is really from the slave family.
Great benefactor, if I have the chance to meet this benefactor, I can't help but pledge myself to him."
Although she said this, Hu Xiaoqian's eyes were full of vigilance.
The person who was behind the scenes and fueling the flames knew almost everything about her motives. From the time she was preparing to advance to a higher level of transcendence in Jiangnan Dao, this person had quietly stepped in and provided a lot of help. Otherwise, the rumors she spread would
, it is simply impossible to cause such an effect in a short period of time.
But Hu Xiaoqian knew even more clearly that this person was definitely not doing good things and must have a huge conspiracy. But she had no idea what the other person was planning.
But one thing is certain, it is definitely not her who is being plotted by the other party. After all, her power, even if it is improved by one level, is only equivalent to the level of a Confucian scholar, and does not have much value.
Therefore, Hu Xiaoqian concluded that the person who was adding fuel to the flames might have a similar purpose to her, and was taking advantage of the ritual environment during her promotion to carry out her own promotion.
Seeing that the sunshine in Wuning City was stolen, Hu Xiaoqian became more convinced of this idea.
"Crunch..."
The door to the inner factory was suddenly pushed open. The heavy wooden door that had been installed here since the founding of the country made a dying sound.
Gusts of dark wind suddenly raged inside the inner factory.
"It's so cold... Have you noticed how cold it has become here?!"
Zhang, who was seriously exhausted, said tremblingly.
Seven or eight lights had been lit in the room, but the huge flames could not illuminate the room where the light had been stolen. A gust of cold wind blew in, and the two lights near the door flickered for a moment and then went out.
"Master Su..."
A timid voice came from far away: "The slave family is here to find you..."
"Aha?"
Su Wen, who was holding the huozhezi and preparing to light the lamp again, felt his scalp numb. He let go of his hand and the huozhezi fell to the ground.
"Hu Xiaoqian!"
"Witch!"
Zhang Hui and Sun Yehou were even more weak in their legs and trembling all over. Zhang Hui was the most responsive and tremblingly pushed his fat body under the table, but no matter how hard he tried, half of his buttocks was still exposed, looking embarrassed.
Unbearable.
"Let's go!"
Sun Yehou was more calm, holding Su Wen up with one hand and trying to escape through the back door.
"Clang!"
Hu Xiaoqian waved her hand gently, and the doors and windows were immediately closed.
"The two gentlemen are so ruthless..."
Hu Xiaoqian glanced at her and said pitifully: "We have been so kind to each other for one night, how come we see people hiding or hiding?"
"Don't come over here!"
Sun Yehou pushed Su Wen behind him and said sternly: "I won't be polite if you come over!"
After all, he had awakened his literary energy for some time, and had been exploring the path to promotion to the extraordinary. If he hadn't met Hu Xiaoqian, who squeezed out a lot of his literary energy, he would have been able to take the secret medicine and be promoted to a scholar in less than a month or two.
The students in Qingshan Academy don't just immerse themselves in reading. They also follow the teachers and learn some martial arts to strengthen their bodies. After all, extraordinary people will face some dangers. Sometimes the dangers come from their own loss of control, and sometimes they come from dangers from the outside world. Some strong people
The more physical and martial arts you have, the better your chances of survival will be.
So when facing Hu Xiaoqian, Sun Yehou could still muster some courage.
Su Wen was very moved, but he also knew that an extraordinary person like Hu Xiaoqian was not something Sun Yehou could deal with. Even Liu Sandao took advantage of Liu Sandao when he was not prepared, and Sun Yehou stepped in to deliver food.
"Hurry up and leave! The one who survives counts!" Su Wen took a deep breath and pushed Sun Yehou. Hu Xiaoqian came for him. If Sun Yehou ran fast, Hu Xiaoqian might not embarrass him.
As for Zhang?...Forget it, this guy hid his head under the table like an ostrich, with his butt raised high and trembling. Even at this time, Su Wen wanted to walk over and give him a hard kick.
Hu Xiaoqian looked around, feeling that everything around her was under control, and said with a smile: "Master Su, as long as you hand over the spirit of life and death to the slave family, the slave family will not make it difficult for you, and these two heartless people will also be spared.
.We are far apart from now on, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
"What kind of characteristics of death and life...I really don't know what it is!"
Su Wen looked bitter.
If he really had such a thing, he would have given it to Hu Xiaoqian long ago. A pervert who easily killed and quartered a family of four stood in front of him, how could he dare to play any tricks?
"Really... let me help you think about it..."
Hu Xiaoqian held her hand over her heart and said calmly: "Yesterday Zhou Cai knocked your sap, how did you survive?"
"How did I know? I only knew that I was knocked unconscious!"
Su Wen flatly denied it. The original owner of the body was indeed beaten to death with a sap, but it was easier for him to resurrect the corpse, which was not the same thing as what Hu Xiaoqian said.
However, it was now confirmed that all of this was indeed arranged by Hu Xiaoqian. It was just whether it was deliberately arranged for him, or he happened to be targeted by Zhou Cai and killed him.
Hu Xiaoqian walked over slowly: "Fainted? That iron rod was cursed by me, and it was also endowed with the spirit of death. The person hit by it will only be stunned and have no chance of surviving... You
The reason why you are alive is because Zhou Cai stuffed the spirit of life into your mouth according to my instructions... It was just an accident. When Zhou Cai did it, the spirit of death was sucked away by the cat in your house, and you
To escape the disaster...the spirituality of life must be in you."
As she spoke, Hu Xiaoqian winked at Su Wen: "So, Mr. Su, as long as you open your heart and let me look inside and find the spirit of life, if you give me that cat again, then let's do this
Just forget it..."
"Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Sun Yehou reminded Su Wen in a low voice: "Once the spirituality is absorbed, it is not so easy to take it out again. This demon can only take away your spirituality by killing you..."
Having said this, he suddenly pulled Su Wen, and taking advantage of this movement, he handed a bottle into Su Wen's hand.
"Su Wen, this is the secret medicine prepared for me by the academy... You have spirituality in you, and you also touch the literary spirit with your poetry... After a while, I will try to burn my literary spirit and add a little literary spirit to you. You try
Try to be promoted to extraordinary here. If you can become a scholar, you will definitely be able to escape!"
Speaking of his plan in a low voice, Sun Yehou's eyes became determined: "On the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, remember to burn paper for me, and burn a few maids for my brothers... When making paper figures, ask the paper maker to press these
Fairy face painting…”
"How long has it been since you started talking like this..."
Su Wen was moved but also dumbfounded.
In fact, he also has the secret medicine, which was given to him by Qian Haoran in the morning. Qian Haoran also felt that he would soon be able to embark on the extraordinary path, so he gave him a secret medicine of the Confucian path and asked him to take it at the right time.
.
Hu Xiaoqian heard the conversation between the two clearly, her voice became gloomy and hoarse, and she laughed: "Take the secret medicine at this time? Hahaha..."
"Monster, die!"
But at this time, Zhang Xiu, who was hiding aside and shivering, with a calm expression, quickly grabbed a bench and smashed it on Hu Xiaoqian's head! From the moment Hu Xiaoqian appeared, all his disguises were gone.
It’s for this moment!
"Snapped!"
Without even moving her eyelids, Hu Xiaoqian waved her long sleeves and immediately wrapped around the bench. She slapped Zhang Yu and the bench onto the beams and hit them hard before falling to the ground.
"Right now!"
The moment Zhang? took action, Sun Yehou also saw an opportunity. He strode forward, and his chest suddenly lit up with a golden light. The golden light was a little decadent, but still pure and flawless.
"Looking for death? I will help you!"
Hu Xiaoqian sneered, her long sleeves fluttered, she caught Sun Yehou, lifted it up heavily, and smashed it on the table. The Eight Immortals table, which was in good condition, suddenly fell into pieces.
Sun Yehou's desperate plan was easily cracked.
Even if you awaken your literary energy, you will still be vulnerable in front of a true transcendent.
"stop!"
Su Wen shouted to stop Hu Xiaoqian: "If you want spirituality, just kill me. Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, kill my brothers!" As he said that, he pulled out a rusty carving knife from his waist and stared at it intently.
Looking at Hu Xiaoqian, she said calmly: "Tell me, how do you kill me to take away the spirituality you mentioned?"
"……run."
Sun Yehou spit out a mouthful of blood and pointed to the door.
Su Wen shook his head.
Since the two of them were willing to sacrifice their lives to save him, he would not be greedy for life and live in an ignoble existence. If he could exchange his own life for the survival of his two friends, then he would have no regrets.
"Very good... Mr. Su, is there anything else you want to say?"
Hu Xiaoqian regained her sweet voice and looked at Su Wen with eyes full of admiration.
"What do you want to say?"
Su Wen thought for a while, looked at Sun Yehou and Zhang Xi on the ground, was silent for a few seconds, and then said:
"I looked at the door and stopped thinking about Zhang Jian, and endured death for a moment to wait for Du Gen. I smiled at the sky with my sword across the sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact!"
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color, and a colorful brilliance suddenly formed on the sky, like a waterfall pouring down on the world, directly penetrated the invisible iron curtain above Wuning City, and fell on Su Wen and the others!
