Chapter 123 "Wait a minute" (2 in 1 large chapter)
Zheng Xiu thought about it, and it made sense.
Ruochen's master doesn't know what's good and what's good...ahem, it should be said that he doesn't know how to adapt. He, Zheng Xiu, is not a pedantic person.
Being able to steal the waist badge from Feng Bei's waist twice in a row without anyone noticing, Chu Susu has some skills.
"Sorry, Sister Fengbei, I..."
Chu Susu returned the "Shang Xian San" waist badge to Feng Bei and was about to apologize politely.
Feng Bei smiled and extended a palm.
The wind roared in the palm and hit the low wall.
Susu——
Wherever the wind blew from his palm, it was like an invisible sharp blade cutting. The hole in the wall that Zheng Xiu kicked open was instantly cut into a square and even door frame.
"It's okay, I forgive you this time." Feng Bei slowly hung the badge back on his waist and nodded vigorously.
The implication is to say goodbye next time.
Otherwise there would be such a door.
Zheng Xiu was silent and looked back.
All the children were frightened by Feng Bei's "forgiveness" and stayed dumbfounded.
Zheng Xiu whispered to Chu Susu: "Don't steal from her next time, understand?"
Chu Susu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying she would never dare again.
I really don’t dare anymore.
Zheng Xiu decided to take Chu Susu to Yunliu Temple.
Ruchen hesitated in his heart and felt that he was sorry for his master by doing this.
But Zheng Xiudao said: "Master Ruchen, don't worry, we are all very particular people. Even if I take away the painting, I will send someone to leave enough money afterwards to express my apology. I, Zheng, will treat it as the buyer."
If you take that painting, it doesn't count as stealing, right?"
When Monk Ruchen heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, but he didn't know how to refute it. He thought about it and listened to it, but everything seemed to make some sense.
"Let's go, uncle will take you to see the world."
Uncle Zheng smiled warmly and led Chu Susu out with a smile.
While walking, he educated me: "Don't do petty theft again in the future."
Chu Susu was stunned.
Zheng Xiu added: "You are now a thaumaturge. If you want to do it, you must have a pattern and do it in a big way. If you pay after stealing, it will not be counted as stealing."
"Is this okay?"
Chu Susu was very skeptical.
Along the way, Zheng Xiu simply explained to Chu Susu the secret of the "door path magic".
Although he himself is only half a bucket full of water.
But you can’t be vain about your face.
Feng Bei on the side nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that he was indeed the senior Zheng Shan, and what he said was very clear and logical.
It was only then that Chu Susu realized that her "hand-breaking technique" was not a disease, but a "magic technique". It suddenly became so powerful that Chu Susu's heartache disappeared and she was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
.
As soon as the moon reached the branches, a few people started climbing up the mountain.
Although the moonlight was dim and the trees were dimly lit, Monk Ruchen was a member of the temple. He could clearly remember the way up the mountain even if he was blindfolded. It was considered a smooth journey and nothing happened.
At this moment, Chu Susu completely believed in Zheng Shan's "Hidden Senior" persona, so she demonstrated her "hand-breaking and stealing technique" in front of Zheng Xiu like a trick.
Her hand-breaking and stealing technique is a kind of [stealing door] thaumaturgy, and the rule is of course "stealing".
The question is, how to steal it.
Chu Susu said: "I have to cover my hand first,"
As she spoke, she hid her performing "hand" in her arms.
"If you want to steal successfully, you must first see with your own eyes who you are stealing from."
"This is necessary." Chu Susu hid her hand and smiled: "But I call this stealing method blind stealing."
Soon Zheng Xiu felt a hand touching him very obscenely in his arms.
But this feeling did not last long. Chu Susu quickly showed her hidden hand, and like a magic trick, there was an extra piece of silver in her palm: "This is 'blind stealing'."
The silver was hidden in Zheng Xiu's arms in advance.
Chu Susu was afraid that Feng Bei would be angry, so she didn't dare to touch her waist card again.
"Retrieve objects from the air?"
Zheng Xiu's eyes lit up, and he realized that he had actually found a treasure in this corner of the mountain. This Chu Susu is really a talent. Isn't this weird stealing skill much better than that of Fourth Master Rong who walked out of that corner?
As the richest man, Zheng Xiu suddenly had the idea of poaching people.
He was thinking about what method he should use to lure Chu Susu into his Zheng Group.
If the Zheng family wants to continue to grow bigger and stronger, it needs all kinds of talents.
A country thrives on talents, and the ancients are sincere and will not be deceived by me.
At such a young age, Chu Susu never expected that she would be targeted by a wealthy man from the north, so she still showed off her stealing skills with great interest.
"In addition to blind stealing, Susu's second stealing technique is what I call 'bright stealing'."
"To achieve a clear steal, Su Su not only needs to see the person stealing with her own eyes, but also needs to have seen, smelled, and preferably touched the target property." Chu Susu closed her eyes: "I must know it.
Taste, know what it looks like, know how it feels to the touch. The deeper you understand, the easier it is to succeed, but at least you have to see it with your own eyes."
Chu Susu pressed the silver into Zheng Xiu's palm and began to speculate in her mind about the shape, taste, size, and feel of the silver.
Zheng Xiu's eyes widened and he stared straight at the silver in his palm.
Not only Zheng Xiu, but also Feng Bei and the monk also stopped and looked at the broken silver in Zheng Xiu's palm.
suddenly.
A palm-sized gray "mirror" appeared strangely in the sky above Yinzi.
The mirror flashed away.
It is invisible to the naked eye.
A pale hand flexibly and silently poked out from the "mirror", pinching the silver with two fingers like chestnuts from the fire.
"Ever dark?"
Feng Bei was keenly aware of the subtle changes in his breath, frowned and let out a soft sigh.
Chu Susu's breathing was messed up. After the palm-sized mirror shook for a while, it turned into wisps of black air and dissipated. The hand suddenly retracted. Chu Susu screamed in pain, blushing and spitting out her pink tongue:
"Yeah, I missed it."
After missing, Chu Susu's face looked a little tired. She shook her head and said that she would have a headache after missing and couldn't steal anymore.
When the monk heard this, he closed his eyes again, shook his head, and muttered: "Only the heart disease can be cured by heart medicine!"
Feng Bei walked a few steps faster, her black ponytail swaying from side to side as she walked.
Zheng Xiu scratched his head. He didn't know why, but he vaguely noticed that Feng Bei was a little unhappy.
It doesn't matter, just coax him.
Zheng Xiu strode forward and walked side by side with Feng Bei.
"What are you thinking about?"
Zheng Xiu asked.
Feng Bei looked forward: "She is a good seedling."
"How to say?"
"In just half a year, Feng Bei can teach himself without a teacher, can approach Changdian and still be safe and sound. Even if it is just a 'broken hand', Feng Bei knows no more than ten people who are still alive in the world." Feng Bei said.
He glanced at Zheng Xiu without leaving any trace, and then said: "Perhaps this has something to do with her rules. The word 'steal' is quite appropriate. If the Night Master learns about her thaumaturgy skills, he will definitely try his best to recruit her into Ye Weiyang.
.”
Zheng Xiu curled his lips inwardly, thinking that there might be no chance for Night Lord to poach him. Thinking this in his heart, Zheng Xiu agreed.
"But," Feng Bei shook his head and said, "If you are not a stranger, being too close to Chang An is not a blessing, but a disaster."
Zheng Xiu frowned.
Feng Bei continued: "Brother Zheng should also be able to see that her magical skills must have passed through Chang An to be so elusive. But even if she carefully followed the rules and used her magical skills, she was too close to Chang An. , contaminated with the filthy energy leaked from Chang An, and if she does not have enough access to penetrate deeply, she will be swallowed up by Chang An if she is not careful."
Zheng Xiu's face changed slightly: "Will you die?"
Feng Bei thought of the tragedy he and Zheng Shan had experienced that year, nodded and said: "If Brother Zheng still remembers the incident in Baili Village twenty-one years ago...she will die tragically."
Zheng Xiu knew that Feng Bei's words were not threats.
She wasn't worried about Chu Susu either.
In fact, the two of them are not related to Chu Susu. If Chu Susu dies, it will be dead. There is nothing to worry about.
The reason why Feng Bei's back gave Zheng Xiu a slightly sad feeling was because at that moment, Feng Bei once again thought of the experience of Baili Village 21 years ago. He thought of Feng Nantian's death and Wang Cangyun. The tragic situation of forcibly breaking through the barrier between the two realms with a mortal body reminds me of the tragic situation when Wei Chen was taken out by Wang Cangyun.
In fact, until now, Zheng Xiu is still not sure whether Wei Chen is still alive. He only knows that at the end of Baili Village, Wei Chen's skin was like being burned by fire, with no trace of it intact, and he looked very miserable.
The murder case in Baili Village is the only connection between Feng Bei and "Macho Zheng Shan" now. It is the past they experienced together. But at the same time, the murder case in Baili Village is also a scar in Feng Bei's heart. She should have died there. But she survived because of Zheng Shan. To this day, she is still living alone in the world, burdened with ominous circumstances, and struggling to find the meaning of living in the world as a stranger.
The moment Zheng Xiu came into contact with Feng Bei in Baili Village, Feng Bei's memories flowed into his mind. Zheng Xiu learned about Feng Bei's past. At this time, he could vaguely understand the complicated thoughts in Feng Bei's heart. For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort Feng Bei. After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xiu took the initiative to hold Feng Bei's hand.
Feng Bei froze, as if he had been shocked by electricity, and turned to look at Senior Zheng in shock.
Zheng Xiu smiled: "Look, I'm fine."
Feng Bei was surprised for a moment, then lowered his head and let Zheng Xiu hold it like this. Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his senior, Feng Bei felt the cold ice in Feng Bei's heart, and the thick wall she took the initiative to build seemed to be caused by Zheng Xiu. It melted a little. For Feng Bei, Zheng Xiu's existence is not an existence that can simply be understood with worldly words such as "friend", "lover", "relative" and "old friend".
For Feng Bei, Zheng Xiu is the only "that person" in this world that she can touch with peace of mind without worrying about accidentally killing him.
Zheng Xiu shook Feng Bei's hand to express comfort, and then quickly let go.
Feng Bei was stunned for a moment. He hooked his little finger back, but it was not hooked, so he could only move forward.
Compared to Chu Susu, Zheng Xiu was actually more curious about the path the monk took.
Whether it's sneaking into a gangster orphanage and pretending to be a thief.
Or men disguise themselves as women and sneak into brothels.
Both things amazed Zheng Xiu, and he was impressed by the monk's hobbies, which improved his horizons and outlook.
I never thought that the doorway could be repaired like this.
It's just that the monk is different from Chu Susu.
Chu Susu was inexperienced and didn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts, so she shared her magic skills carelessly.
As the saying goes, people in the sect don't ask questions about the sect's affairs lightly. Zheng Xiu took a few steps back and stared at the monk's bare back for a long time, not even having the nerve to ask.
The monk focused on leading the way and was silent the rest of the way.
Zheng Xiu was thinking about the medium, rules and restrictions of Chu Susu's technique.
When she performed the technique, she actually separated the severed hand, passed through Chang An, and reached the target.
Zheng Xiu had never heard of such a weird magic technique. And from Feng Bei's reaction, he knew that even in Ye Weiyang, there was such a strange magic technique that could penetrate the darkness.
Even if it's just one hand.
Zheng Xiu thought of himself.
Does his clone teleportation also use a similar principle?
Travel through the darkness and reach your destination directly?
Zheng Xiu witnessed the consequences of entering Changdian with his own eyes. Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu told Chu Susu not to use the stealing technique easily before he figured it out to avoid accidents.
Although Chu Susu was puzzled, she remembered Uncle Zheng filling her mouth with a bun. Her heart warmed and she trusted Zheng Xiu more and more, so she nodded and agreed.
Walking to the mountainside, near the top of the mountain, the dark sky suddenly became brighter.
At first they all thought it was the pleasant moonlight that illuminated the night. But after turning a few mountain passes, Chu Susu pointed to the sky and said in shock: "Monk, your temple seems to be on fire!"
"Nonsense, Yunliu Temple has stood still for two hundred years, how is it possible-"
The monk first sneered, saying it was impossible. But then he looked in the direction Chu Susu was pointing, his expression changed from sneer to shock, and he sped up and rushed up the mountain: "It's over! Yunliu Temple is really on fire! You guys are following Hold on tight, little monk, little monk, you have to go up the mountain quickly to put out the fire!"
Whoosh!
"Hehehehe——" The monk suddenly let out a weird laugh, and took a few steps out in the blink of an eye. There were numerous afterimages floating behind him, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared into the dark night.
"I'll take the first step!"
The weird smile of the monk could be heard faintly in the mountains. Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei looked at each other in surprise. This monk who played so well could be so secretive. At this speed, even [walking] might not be able to compete with him. In comparison, you are telling me now that this flower monk is actually an ascetic?
"Brother Zheng."
Feng Bei blinked and stretched out his hand, indicating something.
"Okay! I'll fly up!" Zheng Xiu understood immediately and was not pretentious. But when he was about to hold Xiao Susu, he paused and said with a bit of uncertainty in his tone: "Your ominous...I held her Are you okay?"
When Feng Bei heard this, the smile on her lips suddenly froze, but her cheeks puffed up slightly, she turned her head and said calmly: "It's okay."
Zheng Xiu felt relieved now, and pulled Chu Susu, who was at a loss, to activate the posture of "Bird in Prison".
In an instant, the fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, and the claw-shaped lines on Zheng Xiu's chest swelled, covering his whole body.
In the light and shadow that flowed like ink, huge wings spread out, and Zheng Xiu transformed into a demon-like form. Under Chu Susu's shocked and frightened eyes, he held Feng Bei and Chu Susu respectively, and soared into the sky. No, this has already happened. It can't be regarded as one flight. To be precise, this is called "three flights".
The meaning of three people taking off at the same time.
Zheng Xiu took two daughters, Feng Bei and Chu Susu, one big and one small, and they flew into the sky.
Viewed from a high place, a century-old temple has long been submerged in a sea of flames. The flames soared into the sky, reflecting the night red.
The reflected firelight made Zheng Xiu vaguely aware that there were hidden figures in the surrounding woods, ready to move!
Zheng Xiu flew almost close to the surface of the forest and reached the top of the mountain in an instant.
Yunliu Ancient Temple was in chaos, with dozens of monks carrying buckets of water pouring on the fire.
However, the fire was burning in the sky, and the water poured out by buckets could only be called a trickle in the face of such a fire, making it difficult to extinguish the fire.
"master!"
As soon as Zheng Xiu landed, the monk came to the ancient temple one step behind, looking panicked.
"Can you make a way?"
Zheng Xiu looked at the monk rushing into the sea of fire and turned around to ask Feng Bei.
Feng Bei nodded calmly: "Okay."
"That?"
Feng Bei said helplessly: "But I will destroy the temple and the people in the temple together."
How to do it?
Zheng Xiu thought of his "hand-rubbed nuclear bomb".
The power is equally huge.
But in the face of a job like putting out a fire, no matter what Zheng Xiu's [Surprise Cage] pulled out, it would not help the fire.
Like Feng Bei, he will only split everything inside.
"You stay here! I'll go rescue the painting!"
Zheng Xiu remembered that his body was just an incarnation and was not afraid of fire, so he prepared to rush in to see if there was any chance to take the painting away.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
At this moment.
In the midst of the temple's sea of flames, there were rapid knocking sounds.
"Everyone stand back!"
The monk who rushed into the sea of fire hurriedly ran out, signaling to the ascetics who were putting out the fire to retreat.
"You too, retreat quickly! It's not too late!"
The monk quickly walked up to Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu and signaled Zheng Xiu and the others to retreat quickly.
Zheng Xiu, who was just about to rush into the sea of fire to save the painting, was stunned for a moment. But when he saw that the monk was speaking in a clear mind and did not appear to be panicking, he thought for a moment and decided to wait and see what happened.
The monks retreated outside the temple walls one by one.
At this time, the constant knocking sound suddenly slowed down.
Tuk, Tuk... Tuk... Tuk... Tuk!
Finally, the final word was struck.
"Wait a minute."
In the temple, an old and melodious voice came out.
The next second, something strange happened.
The ferocious fire was centered on the place where the sound came from, and spread outward as if it was pushed away by an invisible big hand.
Until it expanded into a huge ring of fire, completely surrounding the temple.
The mountains are filled with fire,
He was pushed away by an understatement of "Wait a minute"!
