Chapter 1776 Demon
Zhu Dali, as the chief showman of Lao Yuan Tavern, had followed Lao Yuan Xi from the street to the end of the street, and he was quite capable of fighting.
That is to say, Yuan Laoxi's strength has declined, and his power has also declined. He has no chance to fight and can only gain weight in this tavern.
Chai Asi's sword attack just now really shocked him!
Too fast, too cruel, just rushing to take his life.
Is this still the same Chai Asi?
Chai Asi who was slapped several times by a drunkard and didn't dare to fight back?
At this moment, Chai Asi was following closely behind him, with the broken sword still pressed against his lower back! Zhu Dali did not dare to look back. He still raised his hands and led the way: "Brother Chai, is there any misunderstanding between us? Why don't I buy you a drink? If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly. You are still very young. , the future is bright, don’t provoke Moyun City’s laws easily!”
Chai Asi's mind at this time was filled with what he saw at a glance... Yuan Xiaoqing's deep ravine and bright red lips.
He didn't even listen to what Zhu Dali was saying.
And this silence undoubtedly increased the intimidation of the iron sword.
The pig tightened his muscles tightly and moved forward in a manner that would not cause misunderstanding.
In the mirror world, the ancient god surnamed Jiang is holding the Six Desires Bodhisattva with one hand and grasping the wrong path with the other. He is observing the environment with all his concentration and trying his best to help Chai Asi complete his first key performance.
The emotional fluctuations from this dog demon that he felt through the Bodhisattva of Six Desires left him speechless.
The great gods are half dead from exhaustion, and the ignorant little demons are wandering in the sky.
Even before this life-and-death crisis has passed, the world has become obsessed with people.
With this virtue, do you still want to be the protagonist?
The great ancient god doubted his choice very much!
But so far, he has only silently controlled the Six Desires Bodhisattva, which has slightly affected Chai Asi's sense of danger...
Chai Asi, who barely maintained his master's posture, suddenly shuddered and suddenly realized what kind of environment he was in. The charming fantasies in his mind disappeared and he became alert again.
Looking at the entire Flower Street, Lao Yuan Tavern can only be considered medium in size, but it has a long history and a great reputation.
However, business has continued to decline in recent years. It is obvious that, with the loss of the profit margin from the Huaguo Association, the business of this tavern still has a large range of decline.
Walking through the lobby where drinkers were scattered here and there, and passing through the long corridor made up of jars of old wine, with the aroma of wine and smoke filling the air, I opened an iron door and saw the downward-stretching Stone steps.
Although Chai Asi was not very skilled, he had the ancient mirror in his arms and was as courageous as a dog, so he followed Zhu Dali down quietly.
The underground steps are not very deep. After turning twice, you can already see the end of the stone steps - a platform where the stone slabs extend, ending at a paper door.
This is a paper door depicting strange ghost patterns.
White background with red shadow.
The naked, gnarled, ferocious monster was twisted in the blazing flames, giving it a strange beauty.
Every time Chai Asi came to Lao Yuan Tavern, he would pay his dues, drink the worst wine, and sit in the corner.
I have never been to this place, and I have only seen Yuan Laoxi from a distance.
He originally thought that the basement of the Old Ape Tavern was a place where wine was stored.
At this moment, I just felt that the atmosphere suddenly became...
Yuan Laoxi has style!
What he didn't know was that at the same time he saw this demonic pattern, the great ancient god in the mirror world suddenly opened his red-gold eyes!
A certain narrow Shinto space suddenly opened up without Chai Asi, Yuan Laoxi, and Zhu Dali knowing it!
It was a dark, boxy room, like a prison cell.
To say it is a Shinto space is really a bit of an exaggeration, but after all, "gods" exist.
Deep in the room, a pair of blood-red eyes opened.
The breath of terror became vivid.
Then the chains shook, and his hair spread out, and His ugly and ferocious face became clear, revealing green fangs, brown corpse spots, and strange blood lines.
There is actually a demon living in this quiet room, attached to the paper door!
Shinto is prevalent in the world of Hell.
Using ghosts to cultivate gods is a very common path.
But there are thousands of ghosts and gods along the way. Accumulating faith is the right path, greed for blood and food is the evil path. It is evil to hinder one's luck and harm one's life, but it is righteous to show compassion to all living beings. Incense is the road, but blood sacrifice is the wrong way.
Of course, there are also people like Zhang Linchuan who take the righteous path of accumulating faith, but use evil methods that seek quick success and harm their fortunes.
And the demon in front of him is the reason why Yuan Laoxi can still survive as the master of Huaguoxiang, and also the reason why he is getting weaker and weaker!
The blood lines on that ugly ghost's face were stained by how much blood he had eaten!
"Despicable..."
This monster showed its power in the Shinto space. He suddenly broke free from the chains, and his body quickly swelled. There were stinky blood bags on the terrifying muscles...
Bang!
A huge, colorful Buddha palm pressed down, directly pressing the vicious demon ghost into a pool of blood on the ground.
Mao Shen, a mere inner-level god, was vulnerable to the great Chi Yun Mountain God. What's more, in this soul battlefield.
The ancient god surnamed Jiang manifested his soul body, standing in this square Shinto prison cell, holding a ball of blood-colored soul power in his palm, and roasting it carefully with the true fire of Samadhi——
Once the impurities are burned away, it can be taken as a tonic to replenish the soul.
The efficiency of regulating the soul is faster than asking Chai Asi to take the leader of some martial arts club.
The great ancient god looked around, thoughtful for a moment...
Everything that happens in the Shinto space, these monsters in the outside world are completely unaware of.
Zhu Dali walked to the paper door with strange patterns and seemed to be less scared. He still raised his hands and slowly turned around: "The Fifth Master is inside."
Chai Asi remembered the teachings of the ancient god and raised his chin coldly, motioning to the minion in front of him to open the door.
The paper door receded to both sides, and the pattern of the ferocious demon was separated from the middle.
So you can see this quite empty quiet room behind the paper door.
There is a rickety figure in the quiet room, wearing a gray Taoist uniform, facing the wall and back to the door, sitting quietly.
Of course he is Yuan Laoxi, the curator of Lao Yuan Tavern and the most senior incense owner of Huaguohui Water Curtain Hall.
On the wall in front of him, there was a large picture hanging.
The word "through axis" shows the beauty of the gods and bones. It should be the handiwork of a famous artist.
It is written as "quiet".
Everything here was indeed very quiet, so quiet that the new little demon felt slightly uneasy.
Under the word "quiet", there is a wooden knife stand against the wall, with a long knife on it.
Yuan Laoxi was sitting with his sword in front of him.
He didn't look back and just asked: "I heard that you want to see me for something?"
Chai Asi even killed Yuan Yong, so of course he shouldn't be afraid of Yuan Laoxi, who was already recognized as being unable to defeat Yuan Yong. But there was still an inexplicable nervousness in my heart.
"About the money." He puffed up his throat and said.
"Dali, give him sixteen five-baht king coins." Yuan Laoxi said calmly: "If he can walk into this place on his own, he is worthy of double the money."
"No, Fifth Master, I'm talking about the regular money of the entire Flower Street, and even the entire Flower and Fruit Society." Chai Asi said.
There was silence in the room for a while, then Yuan Laoxi said: "Dali, you go up first."
Zhu Dali didn't say a word, turned around and walked up.
After the sound of his footsteps disappeared, Yuan Laoxi said, "Tell me about it."
At this time, Chai Asi was standing outside the door, and Yuan Laoxi was sitting in the room.
The empty quiet room itself is the distance between them.
Before getting the ancient mirror, Chai Asi never imagined that he could cross such a distance.
But now, it was clear to him that he just needed to take one step forward.
And this isn't the end for him.
He adjusted his mood and said angrily: "Yuan Yong led his men to extort money from house to house. I have already paid you the money once, and he has to collect it again. Extorting money is not enough, he also insults Me, beat me, smashed my house to pieces, and even...even smashed my grandfather's memorial tablet!"
"So, you came here today to complain to me?" Yuan Laoxi still didn't look back, only laughed lowly: "Or do you want to stand up and testify and let me take you to the meeting with the judge?" In front of you, give you a chance to accuse Yuan Yong? "
"I killed him." Chai Asi said.
The room fell silent.
Yuan Laoxi stood up slowly.
His already rickety figure gradually stretched as he stood up.
It was extremely slow when he got up, but when he stood up completely, he was as fast as lightning. When he turned around, the long knife on the knife holder was already unsheathed. With a sonorous sound and a flash of cold light, he even crossed the entire quiet room with a knife and was already in front of him!
Chai Asi only took three steps forward.
Of course, these are three steps under the guidance of the ancient god.
Just stepping on the relay point of this sword, with a simple sideways movement, the rusty iron sword was placed right in front of the abdomen.
The blade almost hit the tip of his nose and cut him in the air!
Yuan Laoxi has two very conspicuous white eyebrows. When he leaps to strike, they are raised in the air, giving him a fierce look. At this moment, he suddenly took a step back and stopped, and his white eyebrows dropped to the corners of his eyes, making him become compassionate.
He flicked his backhand, and the long knife was already sheathed, still silent on the knife holder. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Fifth Master, aren't you going to try?" Chai Asi retracted his horizontal iron sword and said calmly.
Yuan Laoxi raised his eyelids and said, "You are afraid of being strong with fists. If you try again, I am afraid of being beaten to death by you."
Then he said: "Come in and sit down."
This certainly sounds self-effacing and self-deprecating, but it is actually quite true. He knew very well about his current physical condition. He had been devoured too hard by the demons and ghosts, and he had already lost one sword after another.
Unless he was possessed by a blessed demon, he really had no confidence in killing this young dog demon. And the price of rashly borrowing the power of demons and ghosts was something he was not willing to bear...
This quiet room is quite spacious. On the left side of the quiet room, against the wall and not visible from outside the door, there is a low table with a tea set on it.
Two futons serve as seats.
Yuan Laoxi led Chai Asi to sit down, and then poured him tea himself. Although his hands were wrinkled, they were very steady: "I'm curious, where did you learn your sword skills?"
Chai Asi was sitting upright. Although he was in rags, he was brave enough to defeat the power of Yuan Laoxi with the Killing Ape. He had the aura of a strong man like Yuan Tingyue Zhi: "Is this important?"
"You don't have to say it." Yuan Laoxi said with a smile: "This question is just to satisfy the old man's curiosity and improve his understanding of his partners."
"If you put it this way, I have to let it slip..." Chai Asi seemed to have made a lot of determination and said in a deep voice: "This is actually my family's swordsmanship."
That's my grandpa, the ancient god.
Isn’t it a family tradition?
Yuan Laoxi thought thoughtfully: "You have such strength, how could you endure it for so many years?"
"I have a low-key personality." Chai Asi said seriously: "If Yuan Yong hadn't destroyed my grandfather's spirit tablet, I would have endured for many more years..."
Yuan Laoxi looked at him calmly, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't.
Chai Asi sighed and said: "My grandfather was hit and killed by the carriage of the Moyunquan family."
He only said this sentence, and left it to Yuan Laoxi to guess the rest.
Yuan Laoxi really seemed to understand something, and solemnly promised: "I will keep this secret."
"It doesn't matter whether it is kept secret or not. After all, so many years have passed, no one in the Moyunquan family will take me to heart, and I dare not hate them, right?" Chai Asi said: "But it's better for Fifth Master not to tell anyone, so as to avoid trouble."
"Yes, yes." Yuan Laoxi said in the tone of an experienced person: "No hatred, no resentment, no disaster, no disaster, no trouble, and light."
"Then." He sighed, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Chai Asi: "I was as young as you, But today, I'm so old... What do you want when you come here to see me?"
Chai Asi said: "I don't want to be an enemy of Huaguohui, so I want to join Huaguohui. I can do everything that Yuan Yong can do for Huaguohui. I can also do things that Yuan Yong can't do... I want to take Yuan Yong's position."
Yuan Laoxi raised his eyelids: "If I heard correctly, you mean... You killed a Xiangzhu of Huaguohui, so as compensation, you want to fill the vacancy of this Xiangzhu?"
"You can basically understand it this way." Chai Asi said calmly.
"It's normal for a young demon to have ambitions." Yuan Laoxi smiled: "But why did you come to me? I'm such an old man."
Chai Asi said seriously: "I only know Wu Ye as the boss of Huaguo Club. You have been famous for so many years. I know Wu Ye is a kind person and I believe in Wu Ye's ability."
"Then." Yuan Laoxi looked at him: "What can I get?"
"I said it at the beginning. You will collect the regular money of the entire Huajie in the future. I am different from Yuan Yong. I will never compete with you."
Chai Asi raised one finger and then another finger: "Second, you can do whatever you want in the future. If you want to be the leader of Shuilian Hall or even the leader of Huaguo Club, I will fully support you."
He continued to raise the third finger: "Third..."
"That's enough." Yuan Laoxi raised his hand and pressed his third finger: "I am old and have a small appetite. Two points are enough."
This answer showed Yuan Laoxi's wisdom and was beyond Chai Asi's expectation.
"Don't you want to hear what the third point is?"
Yuan Laoxi shook his head: "No. My eyes can see monsters correctly, and you are not a fish in the pond. Let's keep this third condition as a favor. If one day you soar to the sky and still remember me, this old man, it will be great."
These words touched Chai Asi's heart, but he tried to stay calm.
With the attitude of a strong man, he said sincerely: "I don't know how high I can go in the future, but Fifth Master, I will not forget who paved my first step for me."
Yuan Laoxi smiled slightly: "Go back first, I have one night to smooth the relationship. Come to me tomorrow morning, I will take you to see the president."
Chai Asi took out twenty five-zhu royal coins from his arms and placed them neatly on the table: "These are all my belongings. I know it is definitely not enough to smooth the relationship, but please accept it."
Yuan Laoxi gently pushed the money back and said slowly: "Put it away. As the new incense master of the Water Curtain Hall of the Flower and Fruit Association, you have many places to spend money."
How to say it, this feeling is like the process of a generation of heroes rising...
Chai Asi has vaguely seen the bloody storm in the future and saw that the entire Tianxi Wasteland has changed because of him. His eyes are much more sincere, imitating the tone of the great ancient god, and slowly said: "Fifth Master, I think the relationship between us starts from now on."
