Chapter 387 The Unlucky Beiming Team
The tunnel was short and narrow, and seemed to have been dug in a hurry, making it almost impossible for people to stand up. Only in the central part, a stone house was excavated with several chairs, making it look like a secret room.
When the escort arrived, there was already a man and a woman inside. The man was dressed as a merchant, and the woman was dressed in maid clothes.
The man dressed as a merchant sighed: "Old Pan, don't worry. There are very few official members and reserve members of Xianji, and the rewards we can offer are not outstanding. Unless it's on the way, no one will take over so quickly."
His facial features are ordinary, but a little inconsistent when you look closely, as if he has made efforts to conceal his appearance.
The escort named Old Pan found a chair and sat down, saying frustratedly: "When will this end? My cultivation growth stagnated more than a month ago. Am I going to be an escort for the rest of my life? Away from my relatives and friends, and die alone here? That damn task!"
It was because they triggered a strange task with no time limit that they ended up in the current situation.
"Old Pan, when I decided to complete the task, you didn't object." The merchant frowned when he heard it.
The woman in maid's clothes snorted coldly: "Old Pan, Dongyuan, what did we say when we became sworn brothers? We must not blame each other for the choice of tasks. Instead of wasting time, we might as well work together to complete it."
She has long eyebrows and slightly red pupils. She seems to have the blood of gods and demons, but her appearance can only be called pretty, and she is also indistinguishable among the maids.
However, she also has subtle traces of disguise.
"I'm not complaining, this mission is really, really..." Old Pan said after a long while, "The reason why we can't complete it is simply unacceptable. It's because Yu Zishou, the 'Jade-faced Flying Dragon' of Tianzhixiang, fell in love with Qin Qing, which made us fail! He, as the owner of Tianzhixiang, the famous half-step outside scene, has he never seen a woman?"
"I can't figure it out. In terms of reputation, Qin Qing is not ranked among the female heroes of the same generation. She can only be regarded as pure and beautiful. Compared with your beauty, Yingzi, she is much inferior, not to mention the Fairy of Juejian and others. Why did Yu Zishou fall in love with her?" The merchant named Dongyuan sighed.
The female heroes of the same generation he was referring to were from the main world.
Yingzi said coldly: "What's wrong with Qin Qing? Why can't the Jade-faced Flying Dragon fall in love with her?"
"This, this is not the point." Old Pan said dejectedly, "It's been delayed for so long, and I don't know if there will be any changes when I go back. If I disappear for too long, I will be discovered."
"First of all, you have to be able to go back." Yingzi choked again.
"Traveling merchant" Dong Yuan said with a wry smile: "I just hope that the big man of "Xianji" will come soon. Any reserve member should be able to solve this problem smoothly. I don't want to be a real traveling merchant."
With their strength, they are considered good in Jiuxiang, but no one can accept the consequences of not being able to improve their strength.
Yingzi was about to speak when she suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing, which made her subconsciously creepy. She looked back at the place where she came from, but unfortunately it was empty and there was no figure.
"What's wrong?" Lao Pan and Dong Yuan followed her.
"No..." Yingzi turned her head, her eyes suddenly solidified, and the pupils in the depths of her eyes contracted violently, reflecting a figure sitting upright in the upper chair.
He was wearing a black robe, with a majestic and noble Taoist mask on his face, looking like a young or old Taoist. Sitting there, he was like a bell or a pine, with a deep and majestic aura, which made people bow their heads from the bottom of their hearts.
"Yuan, Yuanshi Tianzun..." Yingzi stammered, with a shocked expression, recognizing the identity represented by the mask.
Is he a formal member of Xianji, or even one of the leaders?
Because the name of Yuanshi Tianzun was too shocking, Yingzi subconsciously thought of it in this direction.
Lao Pan and Dongyuan swallowed hard, shocked and happy, shocked by the other party's title and the body movements that made them unaware, and happy that they didn't have to wait.
In their eyes, the black-robed masked man was vast and unfathomable.
"Are you asking Xianji for help?" This "Yuanshi Tianzun" was Meng Qi who came. He controlled his throat and made a majestic and solemn middle-aged male voice.
Dongyuan, a traveling merchant, took a breath, and his joy was beyond words: "Reply to Tianzun, it was me and others who asked for help."
"Tell me the whole story slowly." Yuanshi Tianzun sat still, holding the back of his right hand with his left hand, and placed it on his knees.
His robe was very wide, and there seemed to be something hidden behind him.
Feeling his vast and majestic aura and listening to his solemn and majestic voice, Lao Pan did not dare to disobey the order and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"Our last reincarnation mission accidentally triggered a special mission. We can choose whether to come to Jiuxiang to complete it. If we choose yes, the mission has no deadline and we will be directly teleported to Jiuxiang and end when we get the 'Qilin Pendant' that has been passed down from generation to generation in Tianzhixiang. Because the reward is quite generous, we finally decided to come."
"Our team is not strong enough, and the Qilin Pendant is being watched by the half-step outsider Yumian Feilong, so we can only disguise ourselves and sneak into Tianzhixiang. The hometown, slowly, at that time, I was a gardener, Wang Dongyuan was a servant, Yingzi and Qin Qing were maids. "
Meng Qi said in a deep voice: "Because the maids often contact the master, Qin Qing was favored by the Jade-faced Flying Dragon?"
"I'm so embarrassed by the Lord of Heaven." Dongyuan's old face was slightly red, "Qin Qing was an ordinary maid, and she finally got the opportunity to work in the study, and had the conditions to get close to the Qilin Pendant. Who knew that she was a female hero in her bones, not a maid who served others. She seemed generous, not happy because of the master's reward, nor did she try to please the master because of his dislike, giving people a feeling of being isolated and independent. "
"It is precisely because of her temperament that is different from other maids that the Jade-faced Feilong takes a new look at her. He often laughs with her, takes care of her, and takes her with her. At first, we were happy about this and felt that the task was expected to be completed."
"Then one night, Qin Qing felt that there was no one around, and the disguise was quite hurtful to her face, so she took it off briefly, planning to do it again before dawn, but the jade-faced flying dragon came over to look for her on a whim, and happened to see her taking it off. The sight of the concealed face is astonishing.”
This is really a cliché and classic scene... Meng Qi tried hard to endure it and maintain his image, but in the end he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, he was covered by a mask and no one noticed.
"How do you know so detailedly?" Yingzi asked with dignity as he saw Yuanshi Tianzun sitting upright.
She said helplessly: "Qin Qing is favored by the Jade-Faced Flying Dragon, which will naturally make other coveted women gossip. As we slowly inquired, it became clear. At that time, the Jade-Faced Flying Dragon did not expose Qin Qing's disguise, but secretly observed. After confirming that her purpose of infiltrating in disguise was the 'Qilin Pendant', and also confirming the relationship between the three of us and her, he caught us, brought us in front of Qin Qing, took out the Qilin Pendant, and questioned Qin Qing's intentions ”
"Fortunately, we had prepared an excuse for failure in advance, so we didn't expose the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation. The jade-faced flying dragon was so angry that he imprisoned Qin Qing and expelled the three of us from the land of heaven."
"Later we found out that the Jade Faced Flying Dragon did not kill anyone because he was afraid that his relationship with Qin Qing could not be repaired. Afterwards, he gave the Kirin Pendant directly to Qin Qing and said, 'Give it to you if you want it, but you can't leave me for half a day. step'."
The overbearing township chief... Meng Qi was no longer able to complain, suppressed his laughter, and said in a high-pitched voice: "What next?"
If the team members have obtained the Qilin Pendant, does it count as completing the mission?
Judging from the looks of Beiming and the others, I'm afraid there might be another explanation...
"Then our mission changed and became 'Qin Qing got the Kirin Pendant, but the member was imprisoned, try to get her out of trouble', but it was still indefinite." "Escort Master" Lao Pan gritted his teeth at the indefinite mission.
You are really unlucky to be involved in such a bloody incident. Fortunately, your team has always been based on strength... Meng Qi mourned for them.
"Please also ask Tianzun to help rescue Qin Qing." After describing what happened, Lao Pan, Yingzi and Wang Dongyuan all saluted with respect and sincerity.
Then they saw the majestic and primitive Yuanshi Tianzun slowly stand up and said lightly:
"You guys pack your belongings and wait for your return."
After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun walked into one end of the tunnel, and his back gave people a tall and majestic feeling.
When they came back to their senses and wanted to chase after them and inquire carefully, they found that they were already deserted.
…………
Tianzhixiang is located in a beautiful valley, which is full of ginseng and polygonatum and other things. Spring water is everywhere, gulu emerges, and delicate or simple buildings are sometimes exposed in the light white mist, like a fairyland on earth.
It was nightfall, and two maids carried lanterns and walked towards Xiangquan Pavilion.
"You want to eat Yuanxiao late at night, that bitch can really imagine it!" A maid said bitterly.
Another maid looked forward with the same hatred: "I really don't know what the master likes about her. Her beauty is just ordinary, and she has a stinky face all day long. It seems that the master killed her whole family and didn't have a single kind word to say. "
"I used to hear people say that a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a steal, and a concubine is worse than a steal. Now it seems that it really makes sense. The master actually likes this tone." The maid who spoke first said regretfully.
"We're almost close to Xiangquan Pavilion. Stop talking. Even if the master doesn't concentrate on sensing nearby movements, he can still hear our words from this distance." The maid behind took a breath.
The two of them kept silent, walked forward slowly, and soon they knocked on Xiangquan Xiaoxie's door.
Squeak, the door opened, and what appeared was Yu Zishou, the jade-faced flying dragon. He had already stepped through the door between his eyebrows in his thirties, so he looked young, handsome, and majestic.
The two maids looked at each other, both seeing the dissatisfaction in the other's eyes, but there was nothing they could do about it.
The jade-faced flying dragon took the food box, closed the door, and put it on the table: "Xiao Qing, come and eat the Lantern Festival. Didn't you say you miss the Lantern Festival before?"
"What I miss is the freedom and freedom of the last Lantern Festival." Qin Qing has a beautiful face and a very cold expression.
The jade-faced flying dragon's eyes were filled with adoration, and he was not angry at all. He was about to speak, but suddenly he was stunned.
Dong-dong-dong, there was an inexplicable knock on the door.
"Who?" The jade-faced flying dragon gathered its momentum and said in a deep voice.
Squeak, the door opened, and a mysterious man wearing a black robe appeared.
He was tall, standing there calmly, wearing a strange Taoist mask. He looked like a boy, like a young man, like a middle-aged man like an old man.
Qin Qing looked shocked and blurted out:
"Yuanshi Tianzun!"
