Volume 2: Miaomiao Scholar, indignant as a mountain, smashes the throne room Chapter 70 Rouge
The courtyard was silent and a tattered lantern lit by candlelight illuminated the surroundings. After a moment, Sun Yingxian looked at the other scholar walking out of the crescent gate, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"... Was it you who cast the illusion that just came out with me? Was it you who also released the Taowu in the house?"
Lu Liangsheng walked over and picked up the lost scroll from the ground, but his eyes were on the woman lying under the tree in front of him, and he spoke softly.
"Haha... a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall . You should go and do the fighting."
"You talk so nicely, but you're just a coward... Hey, I'm talking to you, what are you looking at?"
The Taoist put away the bronze mirror and followed the scholar's gaze to the tree. "Hey, there's another one. Let me go!"
The scroll was handed over and tapped on his shoulder, and Lu Liangsheng shook his head.
"The two fox demons should have come after her. They should have nothing to do with the safety of the Zhou Mansion. You and I should not kill them indiscriminately. It will affect our cultivation if we are stained with too much evil spirit."
"Whatever you say, Rory."
Sun Yingxian covered her ears, stepped back and joined Nie Honglian, following Lu Liangsheng as they approached the tree. At this time, the servants and guards of the mansion who were crowded together in the far end of the corridor looked over carefully, squeezed out the old man who was surrounded in the middle, and straightened his robes.
"Those two evildoers left?"
The people around looked at the flames burning on the stone road over there and nodded in response.
"Let's go, let's go!" Suddenly, Master Lu scattered in all directions, scaring away the two monsters.
"... Exactly. I didn't expect that Mr. Lu, who looks weak and incompetent, is actually so powerful. Fortunately, he is here. Otherwise, if the monsters enter the house, I don't know if anyone will die."
"Hehe, I've talked to Mr. Lu before, and he's very easy to get along with."
"Who is the woman next to Master Lu? She is so pretty."
"The Taoist priest over there is also very powerful. Those talismans are obviously not ordinary items."
"You know him?"
"I don't know."
"Look, look, Master Lu and the Taoist priest have passed by. Hey, there's another one over there."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Liangsheng and Sun Yingxian as they walked to the tree. Under the tree, Yanzhi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, supported herself with one hand on the tree trunk, and stood up with difficulty. The two people in front of her had cultivation levels higher than the eldest and second sisters. They should be the masters that Lian Cheng mentioned.
He lowered his head slightly and looked down.
"Yanzhi has met the young master and this Taoist priest."
Over there, Zhou Zhen led a group of people approaching carefully. At this moment, the two monsters that had caused trouble in the mansion had left, and with Liangsheng and the young Taoist priest there, he felt more or less confident, but he couldn't speak casually. He just stood there and watched what the remaining women were going to do.
The wind blew through the courtyard, and a hint of smoke drifted over.
Lu Liangsheng waved his arm backwards, and his wide sleeves swept away the smoke from the fireworks. Then, he retracted his arm and arched it towards the woman.
"Miss, before you speak, could you please look at me in the face and remove the deception?"
Yanzhi was obviously shocked. Although she had formed a pill, she had not yet transformed. She just learned some tricks to make herself look better in front of outsiders.
After hesitating for a while, the skin as smooth as jade gradually turned into light red hair. When she raised her pretty and beautiful face, it turned out to be a fox face. Behind her, a fox tail stuck out from her skirt.
Nie Honglian snorted, and the bloodshot in her eyes faded, and the cold wind around her also stopped.
The elderly people nearby, as well as the security guards and servants who were watching were screaming and shouting.
"Oh, this is so scary."
"The fox's tail is exposed..."
"I knew that the two monsters were chasing her. This woman was no ordinary creature either. Luckily, I swept them away with a stick at that time..."
"Will Master Lu kill her?"
Amid the sound of fragmented conversations, Zhou Zhen walked forward, carefully staring at the monster that had revealed its true form, and his eyes turned away from the scholar.
"Liangsheng, don't talk too much with monsters. Be careful not to be deceived. Zhang Dongming's son is an example!"
When the old man's voice came over, in everyone's sight, the fox demon who called herself Yanzhi suddenly shortened her body.
With a slight bang, his knees fell straight to the ground.
Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, and just as the other party bowed his head, he stretched out his hand and used his magic power to support the other party.
"I have done you no favors, and I will not accept a kneeling for nothing."
The moonlight illuminated the courtyard, and the voices of the people who were talking gradually quieted down when they saw this scene .
Yanzhi knelt on the ground and refused to get up. She raised her face, tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath, looked at the scholar who was speaking, and her voice choked unconsciously.
“I am Yanzhi… I ask you and the Taoist priest to help save Lian Cheng… I have been practicing for a short time and have formed a bond with him, but I didn’t know that I would harm him… I stole Yuan Yang from my eldest and second sisters, thinking that I could cure Lian Cheng, but I didn’t expect… to make his condition worse…”
Human-fox love?
Lu Liangsheng had seen it in books of strange stories, but he didn't quite believe it. A fox... It would have been fine if it had transformed, but the fact that it didn't made him feel weird.
Looking at the fox demon in front of him, he was a little troubled.
"I will naturally agree to save people, but..."
This matter actually concerns the old man Zhou Zhen, so he looked towards the old man.
"Young Master!"
At this moment, Yanzhi suddenly screamed, tears fell, and her head banged down.
"Please, sir, save Lian Cheng, please save Lian Cheng. He is still young, he can't just die like this... Yanzhi begs you, as long as you can make him better, Yanzhi will kowtow to you! Kowtow to you!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
She cried miserably and her head kept hitting the hard tiles. The fur on her forehead was broken and blood was flowing.
When another blow came down, her head hung in the air and could not fall down. When her furry fox face raised up, Lu Liangsheng came over and helped her up with his own hands.
On the side, Hong Lian was a woman after all, and the softness in her heart was touched.
"Sir, help her."
The old man over there also sighed and walked over.
"I didn't expect that there are good monsters... Although I am angry at Zhang Dongming, I can still distinguish between gratitude and resentment. This fox... this woman is really affectionate and righteous. She is touching. You go and help her. As for Rong'er, I will explain everything."
Sun Yingxian wiped the corners of her eyes, turned aside, and poked the scholar with her elbow.
"Now that we've said that, shall we go over and take a look?"
Lu Liangsheng nodded, without much to say. The fox demon in front of him named Yanzhi made him feel warm. Originally, he had wanted to go see Zhang Liancheng, but because of his relationship with Mr. Zhou, he couldn't go.
Human relations and worldly wisdom...
Yanzhi wiped her tears, smiled, bowed to thank the old man, Honglian, Lu Liangsheng and Sun Yingxian, and then did not stay any longer, but went ahead to lead the way.
Lu Liangsheng bowed to the old man and nodded to everyone in the mansion.
"I hope everyone will keep their mouths shut and don't tell anyone about what happened tonight. I still want to take the exam."
Everyone understood what he meant and burst into laughter, and helped clean up the place at the urging of the steward.
Soon, Lu Liangsheng and Sun Yingxian left Zhou's house and followed Yanzhi through the long street late at night. Suddenly they stopped and remembered that their master was still in the room.
Forget it, forget it, I’ll just try it myself this time…if it doesn’t work, I’ll come back and ask for advice.
he thinks.
…
Zhou Mansion, the relatively noisy atrium.
Side yard.
The black dog had not yet entered its den. It stood in the yard and looked in another direction. At a certain moment, it suddenly opened its mouth and started barking wildly.
Woof woof woof…
Woof woof!
In the lighted window, the toad with its eyes closed on the desk heard the barking, slowly opened its eyes, and stood up, its white belly rumbling.
That was the sound of the human residue turning into magic power.
After a moment, he jumped off the desk, and with a swish of his long tongue, he rolled up the gourd on the bedside, picked it up in his hand, walked out of the room and slowly walked towards the direction of the barking dog.
The moonlight shone on his shadow, which stretched very long on the ground.
"The two little demons are quite clever, hehe... it's a pity that they ran into me."
