Chapter 114 Flowers are not flowers, blades are not blades
Xu Zhiqiong quietly followed Wu Ziqing, eager to find an opportunity to take another look at the "Etiquette".
After taking two steps, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. Xu Zhiqiong realized that something was wrong, his real body was in danger!
When he was at the ninth level, once Xu Zhiqiong was possessed by a mouse, he would have no sense of his true body. Now at the seventh level, Xu Zhiqiong's perception has improved.
He ran as fast as he could, convinced that he could run back to the inn within twenty seconds.
But Yuchilan may not be able to sustain even ten puffs.
She wielded her two swords and slashed in the guest room, but every sword failed.
It's not that she's not fast enough, Yin Yang's fifth level is not as fast as Killing's ninth level.
The reason why Yuchilan missed the attack was because she was now in Tao Huayuan's magic circle, the space was distorted, and the direction of the swords' attack did not correspond to the direction seen visually.
Yuchilan launched several moves in a row, and Tao Huayuan saw her strength. With a wave of her hand, a shower of peach blossoms fell.
Each peach petal is a sharp blade. If it is cut on the body, it will be a bloody cut. If it is cut on the throat, the person will die.
The petals were flying in the wind, and Yuchilan had nowhere to dodge, so she waved her swords to block them.
How many petals can a pair of long swords block? In the blink of an eye, Yuchi Lan was covered in blood.
No matter how good the Killer is in fighting, if the fifth grade beats the ninth grade, it will be a crushing victory without any suspense.
Tao Huayuan ignored Yuchi Lan. Soon, Yuchi Lan would be cut into minced meat.
Her target is Xu Zhiqiong.
When she came to Xu Zhiqiong, Tao Huayuan didn't use flower petals, but used gold hairpins.
Flower petals take time, Jin Chai kills with one blow, ruthless people never do unnecessary things.
Seeing the golden hairpin stabbing his throat, Yuchilan suddenly rushed over and hugged Xu Zhiqiong tightly.
The gold hairpin pierced Yuchilan's back, but missed Xu Zhiqiong.
The petals were still wrapped around Yuchilan, who hugged Xu Zhiqiong tightly, protecting Xu Zhiqiong's vitals.
Tao Huayuan raised the golden hairpin and wanted to kill Yuchilan first, but then she thought, why hasn't Xu Zhiqiong woke up yet?
Is there a trap?
Tao Huayuan took a few steps back and summoned a flame.
She originally didn't want to make such a big fuss, but out of caution, she decided to burn these two people to death.
The flames surged and rushed to the bedside in an instant. Xu Zhiqiong suddenly opened his eyes and rolled under the bed with Yuchilan in his arms.
He ran back!
Although the legs of a mouse are short, the judge's speed is still there. Xu Zhiqiong worked hard to the limit and ran back in more than ten seconds.
Yu Chilan paid for these ten minutes of time with half his life.
The flames chased under the bed. Xu Zhiqiong grabbed the lantern while dodging and fired a spear at Tao Huayuan.
Tao Huayuan dodged the spear, the spell was interrupted, the flame disappeared, and the peach blossoms in the room fell to the ground. When she looked again, Xu Zhiqiong was gone.
In one breath, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly appeared behind him and slashed Tao Huayuan's neck with his sword.
Tao Huayuan summoned the flesh puppet in advance and blocked the knife for her. The flesh puppet's head fell to the ground.
Tao Huayuan was shocked, how could this knife hit?
Tao Huayuan's magic circle is still there, and Xu Zhiqiong is also in a twisted space. How could he hit it?
Did he break the magic circle?
Xu Zhiqiong did break the magic circle. He did not learn "The Enlightenment of Magical Circles" in vain. Tao Huayuan's magic circle is not complicated and can be broken if you move it correctly.
Tao Huayuan didn't have time to think, Xu Zhiqiong raised the knife to his eyes again, slashed it down, and the flesh and blood puppet was broken into two pieces. Tao Huayuan used the onmyoji to switch places with the puppet.
Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth, but this guy escaped again.
The Yin Yang family is not good at melee combat, but the opponent's level advantage is too great and their spells are chained, so it is really difficult to deal with them. They must seize the upper hand and crush them to death in one wave.
Xu Zhiqiong slashed at her with one knife after another, giving Tao Huayuan no chance to breathe.
Tao Huayuan frowned, she didn't understand why Xu Zhiqiong took action so quickly!
She had fought with eunuchs in the palace, and only eunuchs could have such speed.
Is Xu Zhiqiong a eunuch?
Seeing that the knife was about to hit, a huge peach blossom suddenly appeared in front of Tao Huayuan, blocking her whole body. Xu Zhiqiong slashed at the pistil of the flower, but it did not penetrate.
The petals flew across Xu Zhiqiong's body, leaving a trail of blood. Tao Huayuan clenched her fist, and the petals flew up with the wind, wrapping Xu Zhiqiong around her.
It's this move again, this time there are several times more petals than when dealing with Yuchilan. If Xu Zhiqiong is really to be wrapped, Xu Zhiqiong will be shaved down to the bone.
But Xu Zhiqiong was not wrapped up, and he disappeared again.
What kind of method is this? Eunuchs don't seem to have this ability.
Does he know onmyoji?
While thinking, Xu Zhiqiong appeared in mid-air and struck Tao Huayuan on the head with a knife.
The distance was close enough and the speed was fast enough. Xu Zhiqiong's move was unavoidable. Even if he switched places with the flesh puppet, it would be too late.
Before leaving the palace, the Sixth Princess told Tao Huayuan that Xu Zhiqiong had an eighth-grade cultivation level.
She really didn't take Xu Zhiqiong seriously, but she never dreamed that she would be forced to this point by an eighth-grade person.
The blade of the knife passed through the hair.
Xu Zhiqiong missed.
This is impossible!
How could this knife miss the mark?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't understand it at all, until he saw two flesh puppets still wriggling on the ground.
This is the fifth-grade Onmyoji, the ubiquitous Onmyoji.
During the battle between Xu Zhiqiong and Tao Huayuan, two pieces of the puppet were broken and a new Yin-Yang array was rearranged.
Is the magic circle complicated?
Not complicated at all.
Xu Zhiqiong could easily resolve it, but he lost the initiative.
Next, it was Tao Huayuan's crushing time. Peach petals flew from all directions, with flames and thunder and lightning mixed in the petals.
Xu Zhiqiong protected Yuchilan and struggled to dodge. Seeing that his life was on the line, a large amount of osmanthus petals suddenly mixed into the peach petals.
Xu Zhiqiong thought this was Tao Huayuan's trick again, and now he just wanted to hold his senior sister and run away.
But Tao Huayuan was also shocked. She didn't like osmanthus, and she didn't have any magic related to osmanthus.
There is someone on the roof, but I don’t know where they are hiding.
kill him?
You can't take action rashly, but you still have to be prepared for Xu Zhiqiong's sneak attack.
While thinking, the petals of the sweet-scented osmanthus flew and the peach petals were cut into two pieces one by one.
"The flower is not a flower, the blade is not a blade,
Flowers are flowers only because they have floral fragrance.
A sharp knife has fragrance, a sharp knife can also be a flower,
If you smell the fragrance of flowers, they are flowers,
If you smell the fragrance of flowers, you will be wounded by a sharp knife."
Someone spoke, and it was also a woman!
Tao Huayuan summoned thunder to attack the roof, and suddenly felt a burst of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance that hit her nose and went straight to her throat.
Her throat was cut with a sharp blade, and Tao Huayuan spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Zhiqiong also smelled the fragrance of flowers, but was not harmed in any way.
He raised his knife and slashed at Tao Huayuan. Tao Huayuan used the flesh puppet to resist for the last time, and the flesh puppet was completely shattered.
Xu Zhiqiong raised the knife and slashed again. Tao Huayuan held her breath and used the yin and yang method to avoid the vital point. The knife missed the throat and cut a bloody gash more than two feet long on the back. Under attack from both sides, this was already
This is the most reasonable response that Tao Huayuan can make.
Valley
The wound was not deep, and Tao Huayuan suddenly felt weak.
Oops! There's poison on his knife!
There was no poison on Xu Zhiqiong's knife, it just sucked some of the yin and yang energy from her body.
He only sucked 30% of it, and he didn't dare to squeeze her dry for fear that his Renmai wouldn't be able to hold it.
However, with a fifth-level cultivation and deep Qi, these 30% reached the limit of Ren Mei. The Qi directly hit his soul. Xu Zhiqiong was in severe pain and retreated repeatedly.
Tao Huayuan took the opportunity to summon a flame and burned all the osmanthus petals. The flames rushed up to the beams and hit Xu Zhiqiong below.
Xu Zhiqiong was in a trance, and he slashed with his knife. The Yin Qi was released, and the flames were dispersed.
Tao Huayuan was shocked, how could this guy know Yin Yang?
She no longer dared to fight, turned around and rushed out the door. Xu Zhiqiong staggered and chased after her.
In the past, he would have been able to catch up with her in two steps, but now the yin and yang energy was flowing all over his body, and Xu Zhiqiong couldn't even move his legs.
Tao Huayuan did not escape outside the inn, but instead fled to her room.
The corridor was full of people, and a fierce battle broke out. Within a few dozen breaths, the guests of the inn heard the noise, and before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a woman and a man, covered in blood, rushing out.
When they caught up to Tao Huayuan's room, Tao Huayuan had activated the magic circle. Xu Zhiqiong couldn't catch up, so he threw a bag of medicinal powder at Tao Huayuan, concentrated his thoughts, and shouted: "hit!"
The medicinal powder exploded in the magic circle and disappeared together with Tao Huayuan.
Xu Zhiqiong was lying on the ground, twitching repeatedly. The innkeeper rushed up and said with fear on his face: "Master Denglang, what happened?"
Xu Zhiqiong struggled to get up, pointed to Tao Huayuan's room and said: "No one can live here for three days."
He was afraid that the powder would have residue and harm others.
Xu Zhiqiong rushed back to his room and picked up Yuchilan.
There was still a piece of osmanthus petal left on the ground, and Xu Zhiqiong recognized the scent of this osmanthus flower.
He looked up at the roof, which was empty.
…
"Save people, Qu Dengshou, come and save people!"
Xu Zhiqiong snatched a carriage halfway and rushed all the way back to Zhang Deng Yamen.
Qu Jinshan asked people to carry Yuchilan down and quickly sent her to the hospital for treatment.
"What's going on? Are you hurt so badly?"
"There was a battle, a bad battle!" As he spoke, Xu Zhiqiong twisted his neck and his facial features were tilted left and right.
Qu Jinshan said in shock: "What happened to you?"
Xu Zhiqiong moved his jaw and said, "Don't worry about me, just treat her injuries."
…
In Mingdengxuan, Jiang Feili glared at Wu Xu: "I said I don't care about this matter, but you insist on taking care of it. Is the Sixth Princess easy to mess with?"
Wu Xu sighed and said, "I'll do it even if I don't want to."
"Your yamen will handle this matter on your own, and my people will never pay attention to Wu Ziqing again!"
Jiang Feili got up and left, going to the doctor's office to see Yuchilan.
Yuchi Lan woke up, looked at Jiang Feili and said, "Young Master, is Zhi Qiong not injured?"
"Zhiqiong! Zhiqiong! You're just thinking about that bastard! You gave up your life to that heartless man!"
Qu Jinshan said from the side: "Young Master, please calm down. It's just a flesh wound."
"Isn't a flesh wound an injury? The injury is so serious that I can't get out of bed for a month! There is no good person in your office!"
Qu Jinshan smiled dryly and said, "I'm still pretty good."
Jiang Feili called two men in Tsing Yi to carry Yuchilan to the Tsing Yi Pavilion.
Wu Xu said to Xu Zhiqiong: "I didn't expect the Sixth Princess to value Wu Ziqing so much. If you are afraid, I will use someone else to deal with him."
"I'm not afraid!" Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "Since the Sixth Princess cares for him so much, I decided to let him die once, an ugly death and a ruined reputation. Only then can I avenge him!"
As he spoke, Xu Zhiqiong's cheeks kept twitching.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu Xu saw that Xu Zhiqiong also had many wounds on his body, "Are you poisoned?"
"It should be nothing serious," Xu Zhiqiong twitched again, "Maybe it will be fine if you sleep for one night."
Xu Zhiqiong did not go home that night and slept in the cabin all night.
…
In the Department of Yin and Yang, Taibu was calculating formations under the lamp. The two energies of Yin and Yang emerged, and Tao Huayuan appeared in front of Taibu with bruises all over her body.
Taibu frowned and said, "How could it be so seriously injured?"
Tao Huayuan vomited blood and could not speak.
Taibu summoned a flesh and blood puppet, concentrated the yin and yang energy, and rotated back and forth between the puppet and Tao Huayuan.
After a cup of tea, most of the scars on Tao Huayuan's body were transferred to the puppet, and she was able to speak.
Taibu asked: "Who hurt you like this?"
Tao Huayuan said slowly: "Xu Zhiqiong, Qing Deng Lang of the Deng Yamen."
Taibu was startled: "Why are you looking for him?"
"On the order of the Sixth Princess, go and take his life."
While talking, Taohuayuan kept coughing.
Taibu said angrily: "Why didn't you report it to me beforehand?"
Tao Huayuan gasped: "This disciple thinks that it takes little effort to kill a Green Lantern Man. The Sixth Princess is urging me so urgently. If I delay, I'm afraid I will make the Sixth Princess suspicious."
"Reckless!" Taibu scolded, "Xu Zhiqiong is Wu Xu's confidant. If you kill him, how can Wu Xu let it go?"
"This disciple really doesn't know who Xu Zhiqiong is, let alone that he knows Yin Yang, otherwise I would never act recklessly."
"He knows Yin-Yang?" Taibu was stunned, "How could he know Yin-Yang?"
"Disciple doesn't know." Tao Huayuan shook her head repeatedly.
"It must be Tong Qingqiu. It must be Tong Qingqiu who introduced him to the first grade. But Tong Qingqiu is only in the sixth grade. How could he introduce Xu Zhiqiong to the first grade? Could it be that he was promoted..."
While Taifu was thinking, Tao Huayuan stood up with difficulty and said: "Master, I am going back to the palace. I am late, and I am afraid that the princess will doubt me again."
Taibu asked: "Are you sure that the prince does not have "The Record of Wrathful Ancestors"?"
Tao Huayuan said: "The disciples followed Master's instructions and did not dare to go to the East Palace without authorization, but the Sixth Princess and others did not find out the whereabouts of "The Record of the Angry Ancestors"."
While talking, Tao Huayuan coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, which contained a piece of osmanthus petal.
The Taibu took the osmanthus petals and asked, "What is this?"
Tao Huayuan said: "Tonight there is another woman who is secretly helping Xu Zhiqiong. She is good at using osmanthus, and her methods are similar to those of the disciples. She must also be a yin and yang cultivator, and her cultivation is not inferior to that of the disciples."
"Not under you? Are there people like this in the capital?" Taibu looked at the osmanthus petals in surprise, shook his head and said, "This is not a yin-yang magic weapon, it is just an ordinary osmanthus flower."
Tao Huayuan recalled for a long time: "Before she cast the spell, she said something, and the disciple remembered some of it. It seems that flowers are flowers because they have fragrance, and sharp blades become flowers because they have fragrance."
"What's the truth? The sharp blade turned into a flower?" Taibu thought for a long time and took a breath of cold air. "Sophistry, famous master?"
"What is a celebrity?"
Taibu shook his head and said: "This is impossible. The famous masters disappeared more than 700 years ago."
Tao Huayuan remained silent.
Taibu stared at the petals and said, "No one should know about this matter."
Tao Huayuan remained silent and kept scratching her body with her hands.
Taibu frowned and said, "Did you remember what I said?"
Tao Huayuan scratched hard, but there were blood stains on her body again.
