Their eyes met, and the puppet that jumped up on the bed was startled, and it stumbled and fell to the ground.
Zhang Heng looked at it for a while.
With a flick of a finger.
The silver needle flew away at once.
Then he played again, and the puppet flipped over again. It hit the corner and couldn't get up for a long time.
"So weak?"
Zhang Heng discovered that there was nothing magical about the puppets.
Dealing with it is like dealing with a scorpion that sneaks into the house. As long as it is not stung by a sneak attack, even an ordinary person can deal with it.
Tap tap tap...
The puppet held its head and tried to escape.
Zhang Heng reached out and made a move, and the puppet flew upside down and landed in his hand. It only took a gentle squeeze to crush it.
"Spare your life, spare your life."
Sensing Zhang Heng's murderous intention, the puppet begged for mercy again and again: "I am willing to serve you as my master, and you hope to spare my life."
"Did Gua Xian send you here?"
Zhang Heng seemed to be asking rhetorically, but his tone was actually very affirmative.
"It's him, it's him."
The puppet did not dare to hide it, and answered truthfully: "I am a puppet made by an old wizard. After many twists and turns, it fell into the hands of the Gua Immortal. He is a liar, and he doesn't know any divination. It's all nonsense."
"After he gets me, he goes out to tell fortunes. If anyone doesn't believe his words, he will ask me to do something."
"As he went back and forth, he got a name. He traveled all over the city and called himself the Gua Immortal. He even used me to kill a few people, just to prove that his divination predictions were effective."
Zhang Heng was not surprised by this statement.
Because he had already seen it with his Dharma Eye, Gua Xian had no aura at all on his body. Instead, he was covered in blood. There was obviously more than one life in his hands.
As for the puppets.
Zhang Heng glanced at him, and with a strong hand, he crushed him.
The Gua Xian deserves death, but as for the puppet, shouldn’t he?
Those who abuse people should be killed, and those who help Zhou to abuse people should be killed even more.
When the Gua Immortal asked it to harm people, if it refused, nothing would happen later.
It is precisely because of its actions that it makes evil people even more evil, and it wants to spare their lives. Now that it is afraid, it has done nothing.
"One thought reaches the sky, one mirror discerns the four directions."
Zhang Heng took out the exploration mirror from the Qiankun bag, and while making incantations and chanting, he pointed at the mirror: "Show the Dharma!"
brush!!
The image in the mirror suddenly changes.
Zhang Heng looked closely and found that the perspective in the mirror was on a flower boat.
Guaxian held the wine glass, hugged the beautiful woman, and was talking to an old woman: "I am the best fortune teller in the world. If you can exempt me from drinking money today, I will do your calculation for free. But if you ask for anything, I will do it for you."
Fulfilled.”
The old woman looked very old, her eyes were sunken, but she was dressed very richly: "I am a flowery mother. It stands to reason that I don't want anything, but when you get older, you can't help but think about the past. I used to have a boss."
My daughter, I was very kind to her, but she took away my treasure and left for two hundred years, never to see me again. If you could figure out where she was going, let alone a meal of wine, you would come every day and night.
Go at night, as long as your body can handle it, I won't stop you."
Guaxian smiled and said: "Old mother is really good at joking. Your goddaughter has been gone for two hundred years. How old are you then?"
The old woman thought seriously: "I am from Jiangxia. When I was a girl, I was selected by this flower boat. I was lucky enough to become the owner of the flower boat. After all, it has been hundreds of years. At that time, Zhao Taizu was in Jiangnan
I also received him when I was there."
The next second.
The old woman suddenly raised her head: "Who is it?"
"Um?"
Zhang Heng let out a soft sigh, as if the flower boat lady had noticed him.
It's a bit of a trick.
Although this detection mirror is not a powerful treasure, most people cannot detect this detection light.
"If you find it, just discover it."
Zhang Heng didn't care and flew out of the flying sword directly towards the Gua Immortal in the mirror.
Wow!!
The flying sword shot into the treasure mirror, causing ripples on the mirror surface, as if it had been thrown into the water.
The next moment, a flying sword came out of thin air from the flower boat in the mirror, shocking everyone.
"cut!"
Zhang Heng drank in a low voice.
The flying sword went straight to Gua Xian and passed through his chest.
After killing Guaxian, Zhang Heng waved to the mirror again, and with ripples, the flying sword flew out of the mirror again and landed in his hand.
"That's too much!"
Hua Chuanpo was angry and angry, and stretched out her hand like Zhang Heng to grab her.
Zhang Heng took a look.
There were ripples on the mirror again, and an old, wrinkled hand was about to stretch out from the mirror.
"It can be traced back!"
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Interesting."
After saying that,
Use two fingers to form a sword finger and point out with one finger.
Snapped...
The thunder finger hit Hua Chuanpo's hand, and a flash of lightning made her hurriedly retract her hand.
Look in the mirror again.
When I saw it, Hua Chuanpo raised her hand, and the palm of her hand was scorched black.
"This man has nothing but false appearances and no knowledge of divination. He has offended me today, so I will take his life. If there is anything wrong with him, please forgive me, Mrs. Chuan."
Zhang Heng's words echoed throughout the flower boat.
Forgiveness, how to forgive?
Hua Chuanpo was so angry that her teeth itched. If someone kept silent and killed someone in your house, would you forgive me? Do you forgive me?
"Huh!"
Zhang Heng was about to tear off the surveillance mirror when he suddenly found a scholar in white among the frightened crowd.
Isn't this Xu Xian?
A smile appeared on Zhang Heng's lips. This flower boat didn't look like a kind place. Why did Xu Xian, a strict wife, come here?
Looking for excitement?
If you are looking for excitement, go home. The place at home is much more exciting than this.
If he reveals his true identity halfway through this, he will fly up in displeasure.
"It's my fault after all that I killed someone on your flower boat."
"Well, let me give you a message. You are in trouble today."
Zhang Heng finished speaking.
He glanced at Xu Xian again and thought to himself: "Unlucky boy, let's see how your wife will deal with you when you get back."
"receive!"
Zhang Heng waved his hand and sealed the treasure mirror directly.
The second day.
Zhang Heng went out to have breakfast and only heard two passers-by talking.
"A strange thing happened last night. It was obviously dry tomorrow, but it rained heavily in the center of the West Lake. The waves were several meters high."
"I've heard about it too. It's said that two immortals fought in the middle of the lake. The water from the fight caused the lake to pour back and flood several inns in low-lying areas."
Listen to the discussions of people around you.
Zhang Heng was thinking about Xu Xian, and he didn't know if he was punished by kneeling on the washboard when he went back last night.
There should be.
The White Snake in The Legend of Green Snake is not a good-tempered one.
My husband went out to drink wine late at night, and even found two young girls to keep him company. Even if he was beaten lightly, it would be disrespectful to his thousands of years of practice.
"Xu Shusheng, what's wrong with your face?"
Living people can't help but talk about it.
Just as he was thinking about Xu Xian, Xu Xian came by himself.
Zhang Heng looked up and saw two black circles under his eyes, a narrow face and neck that had been scratched.
"There was a cat meowing last night, so I went to hit it. I didn't expect it to be quite powerful. I was scratched like this when I wasn't prepared. I'm really ashamed."
Xu Xian hesitated as he spoke.
After Zhang Heng heard this, what he was thinking about was not this, but the battle between Bai Suzhen and Hua Chuanpo last night. It seemed that Bai Suzhen won.
It's normal to win.
Bai Suzhen is not weak in strength, but her reputation is not obvious.
In addition, the snake is called a little dragon, and the white snake is a different species, both of which have been cultivated for thousands of years. Bai Suzhen's strength is even higher than that of Grandma Shu.
Zhang Heng has been in the world of Liaozhai for a long time.
Traveling all over the country, Bai Suzhen's strength among the demons he has seen should be second only to the old demon of Montenegro and Pudu Cihang.
Even Old Frog was worse than her. Old Frog was good at morals, but he was not good at fighting, otherwise he wouldn't have been bullied so miserably by Pudu Cihang.
"The flower boat lady, I don't know where she came from."
"Her flower boat looks like a treasure, and she calls herself the owner of the boat. She looks like a human but not a human, and looks like a ghost but not a ghost. I don't know where she came from."
Zhang Heng is not from the Liaozhai world.
I don’t have much contact with practitioners in the Liaozhai world, and I have never heard of Hua Chuanpo.
"Ms. sir..."
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Suzhen came over slowly: "You left your amulet at home."
With that said, he took out a sachet and hung it around Xu Xian's neck.
"This thing smells so good. What are you made of? It's not suitable for a grown man like me."
Xu Xian didn't forget it, but deliberately didn't wear it.
He had never had the habit of wearing amulets before, so Bai Suzhen had to wear them for him when he came out this morning.
"It's better if it's more fragrant. If you smell this fragrance, other women will know that you are a famous person."
Bai Suzhen straightened Xu Xian's collar in a tone that could not be refused.
Xu Xian looked helpless.
Little did he know that the amulet contained Bai Suzhen snake scales.
Bai Suzhen is the thousand-year-old demon king, and her snake scales carry her own scent.
Ordinary people had no reaction to this, but some demons and monsters, as soon as they saw Xu Xian, knew that he was covered by someone and could not move lightly.
"It seems that although Bai Suzhen won yesterday, it was probably a miserable victory, not a guaranteed win."
Zhang Heng looked at Bai Suzhen.
I found that her face was pale and her energy was lacking. She had not yet recovered from the battle last night.
"Honey, where did I go last night? When I woke up, I found that I had a severe headache. I have no memory of what happened last night."
Xu Xian looked confused.
"You were drunk last night, otherwise why would you have fought with the cat?"
Bai Suzhen gave Xu Xian a loving push and walked away charmingly.
"Are you drunk?"
Xu Xian scratched his head a little.
He really couldn't remember what happened last night, but he just intuitively felt that it was not that simple.
"poor guy."
Zhang Heng listened silently.
When I heard that Xu Xian's memory had been erased, I couldn't help but mourn for him for three seconds.
Sure enough, men must be strong at all times.
If you are not strong, you will be just like Xu Xian, with a woman riding on your head and unable to even control your own memory.
"It's strange to say that in those novels like [My Wife is the Demon King] and [My Wife is the Empress], how do the protagonists become so chic?"
Zhang Heng felt that it was very inconsistent to think that Bai Suzhen was Xu Xian's wife at night and the demon king who commanded all demons during the day.
In his words.
He would never fall in love with an ordinary person, because that would be too tiring.
At his level, he is not an immortal, but he is similar to an immortal. He has a dream at night and can turn this dream into reality during the day. He has such strength.
From the perspective of him and Bai Suzhen, they are completely different worlds from ordinary people.
I really don’t know what Bai Suzhen was thinking, marrying Xu Xian. What’s the difference between the emperor’s daughter being a good princess and the prince not marrying, but marrying a cowherd boy?
Even if she married the prince and became the prince's concubine, Zhang Heng would be more accepting of it.
Xu Xian is too ordinary and not worthy of Bai Suzhen at all.
Had breakfast.
Zhang Heng went to Jinshan Temple again.
Fahai hasn't come back yet, but he didn't come to see Fahai today. Instead, he planned to borrow the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion at Jinshan Temple.
Of course, he didn't want to steal the scriptures, but wanted to find out if there were any records about Hua Chuan Po.
Jinshan Temple is a major temple in the south of the Yangtze River, inherited from Ksitigarbha.
There should be no records of such an existence as Hua Chuan Po.
as expected.
After some inquiries from him, the guardian monk of the Sutra Pavilion actually found him a book about Hua Chuan Po.
That's a miscellany.
It records that a certain eminent monk from Jinshan Temple boarded a flower boat while traveling around the world.
"Ship Spirit!"
According to the description of the eminent monk, Hua Chuan Po is actually a position, not a specific person.
A long time ago, there were flower boats floating on the river.
In every era, it will choose a flower boat lady to be its master.
Why it appeared and what its purpose was, no one knows.
All I know is that flower boats can appear on any river. If you go on a boat and go there once, you will be sucked away by the flower boat for three years.
As for how the owners of the flower boats in the past dynasties appeared and changed, the eminent monk's words are unclear. I don't know if he is not clear about it, or there is some secret that cannot be revealed.
But generally speaking, the position of the owner of the flower boat will rotate every time, ranging from one to two hundred years to three to five hundred years.
Zhang Heng thought about what Hua Chuan Po said.
It must have been four or five hundred years since she became the owner of the flower boat, because Zhao Taizu ascended to the throne four hundred years ago.
She had received Zhao Taizu, so naturally she was not only three or four hundred years old.
"During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Zhangzhi's broken flower boat was scattered on the Weishui River."
“In the 36th year of the Southern Liang Dynasty, an eminent monk from Mount Wutai broke a flower boat in Pan Yang.”
Zhang Heng also found records of several flower boats being destroyed in his miscellaneous notes.
But soon after these records, it will be discovered that the flower boat appears again, and it seems that being destroyed has no impact.
As for Zhao Taizu's boarding of the flower boat, there is no record in the miscellaneous notes.
I don’t know whether it was Hua Chuan Po who was bragging, or whether others didn’t add anything later.
"On the flower boat, you will find everything you need to eat, drink and have fun. They will tell you what the ticket is before you get on the boat. They will only let you on if you agree to get on the boat."
When Zhang Hengnian came here, he found that the flower boat was quite humane.
Before boarding the ship, I told you that the ticket to board the ship was for three years and asked you if you could get on the ship.
You can't say it, and it doesn't force you. Everything is done voluntarily.
Of course, whether ordinary people believe what Hua Chuan Po said is another question.
When many people heard this, they probably thought you were joking, but I'm afraid not many people took it seriously.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t cost a lot of money, and people wouldn’t be talking about it, and they wouldn’t be yelled at to be beaten or killed.
"By the way, Hua Chuan Po said she had a goddaughter and ran away with her treasures."
"Hua Chuanpo's cultivation level is not low, and she has seen the world. The treasure she talks about..."
Zhang Heng was a little suspicious again.
Because for people at their level, there are not many things that can be called a treasure.
