Chapter 20 Jiangtang Town ()
The two followed behind a group of maids and servants until they reached the main hall in the front yard.At this time, the birthday banquet has already started, the drums are played, the guests are seated one after another, and the aroma of wine is wafting everywhere.
Ning Yin wanted to find a corner to sit down, but when he saw a suitable spot, he saw the guard who had just notified him running towards him.
"Mr. Ning, your seat is here. My young lady reserved it for you two. Please come with the younger one."
The two looked at each other, and finally sat on the right side of the main seat.
Ji Jiang only took a casual glance and found that many people were looking at them, so he turned sideways and whispered, "Senior Ning, are we being too obvious?"
Not only is it obvious, it is simply ostentatious.
Ning Yin took a sip of wine, "Wait and see."
The sound of the drum music stopped abruptly, Master Liu entered the main hall with the support of his servants, Miss Liu and Second Aunt followed respectively, and everyone immediately put down their wine cups and stood up to salute.
"Congratulations on the birthday of Boss Liu!"
Mr. Liu smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you everyone, you can sit and sit, eat and drink, and don't go home today if you don't get drunk."
The food and wine had been served, Miss Liu waved to the actors, and the music played again.
"Father, this is Mr. Ning, the gentleman who painted for my daughter before."
Caught off guard by being called, Ning Yin put down the wine cup and nodded slightly, "Master Liu."
Mr. Liu couldn't help nodding, "Sure enough, he is a talented person with an extraordinary bearing. No wonder the painting is so outstanding."
"Master Liu has won the prize." Ning Yin exchanged greetings, and suddenly felt someone tugging on her sleeve, and when she turned her head, she saw Ji Jiang looking over sullenly.
"what happened?"
Ji Jiang glanced at the Liu family's father and daughter, "Then Master Liu wants to call Senior Ning to be his son-in-law?"
What is this kid thinking about all day long...
"What's the matter, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh." Ji Jiang pursed his lips, "Senior Ning eats vegetables."
Hearing Master Liu and Miss Liu chatting and laughing, Second Aunt couldn't sit still, and hurriedly interjected, "Master, I also invited a very talented gentleman who is the best at melody, why don't you let him come up to help you?" Master playing the piano for fun?"
Mr. Liu was in a good mood, so he agreed without even thinking about it.After a while, a man in purple shirt holding a guqin came in from outside the hall.
The four eyes met, both of them were taken aback.
This luthier is actually a Jing official.
After being surprised for a moment, Jing Li immediately covered up his unnecessary emotions, and bowed to the host, "I have seen Mr. Liu."
"Sir, you don't need to be too polite."
The official Jing nodded, "It's Master Liu's birthday today, so I'll play a long life poem to cheer everyone up."
I saw him lift up his clothes, sit on the floor, touch the strings with his ten fingers, and the brisk and melodious melody flowed out, lingering around the beam.
Ji Jiang held on to Long Yuan, and frowned, "What is he up to?"
During the banquet, the guests didn't know it, and continued to exchange glasses and exchange glasses. The hall was full of laughter and laughter, which was a lively scene.Suddenly, the tone of the piano changed, and the rhythm faintly accelerated.The chatting and laughing suddenly fell silent, and looking at the guests again, they all held their wine glasses and looked straight in one direction, as if someone had taken their souls away.
Ning Yin secretly said that it was not good, and pressed Ji Jiang's shoulder, "Concentrate and gather energy, don't let him lead you by the nose."
Ji Jiang snapped back to his senses and hurriedly gathered his spirits to adjust his breath to reach the magic sound.
Everyone stood up following the sound of the zither, followed the Jing officials and walked out of the main hall in a column.The magic sound got farther and farther away, and the suppression of the monster power gradually weakened, and the two broke through the shackles and followed closely.
When people walked to the entrance of the side courtyard, they suddenly stopped, standing still like statues.The sound of the piano continued, only Miss Liu continued to walk forward, her eyes were empty and her expression was dull, like a walking dead.
When the two arrived, they watched Jing Li follow Miss Liu into the ancestral hall from a distance.
Ning Yin looked back at Ji Jiang, he was fine, but Ji Jiang was still a mortal, so it was difficult to resist such magic sounds.
"How are you?"
Ji Jiang's breathing was a little unstable due to the use of internal force, "I'm fine, let's catch up quickly."
Going on like this is not an option, it will break the sound of Jingli's piano.
Ji Jiang pressed his shoulders, "Wait, he is playing the qin, the closer you are, the easier it is to be bewitched. After a while, the others don't do anything, and attack his piano first."
Inside the ancestral hall, Miss Liu's family fumbled on the altar several times, held the tablet on the far left, and turned it vigorously. Then there was a rumbling sound, and a stone door suddenly opened on the wall behind the altar.
Jing Li's eyes glowed, and he said with a sneer, "So it's hidden here."
Just as he put down the guqin and was about to enter the secret door, two figures flashed from behind him.The Jing official turned to get the guqin, but there was a bang, and the strings of the qin were broken.
"It's your kid again."
At the same time, Ning Yin caught Miss Liu, turned around and entered the secret passage, "Little devil, follow up!"
Ji Jiang swiped his sword to fend off the officials, turned over and flew into the secret door, raised his scabbard to press the mechanism, and the stone door closed immediately.To be on the safe side, he immediately set up a barrier at the door.
The sound of smashing the wall came from outside the stone gate from time to time, booming.
"We won't last long here, we have to find something before he comes in." Ning Yin snapped her fingers in front of Ms. Liu.
Miss Liu's family woke up like a dream, and said blankly, "What's wrong with me? What happened?"
"The situation is urgent, so I can't talk about it in detail now. There are half of the demons outside the door, thinking about a treasure in Liu's mansion. To be honest, we are also here to find this treasure. If this thing falls into the hands of the evil demon, the consequences It's unimaginable. Please also ask Ms. Liu to lead the way so that we can find the treasure."
The sound of smashing the wall was getting louder, and dirt and debris kept rolling down the stone wall.Ms. Liu hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a choice, "The two of you will follow me."
There are nine bends and eighteen bends in the secret passage, if no one leads them, it may take a long time for them to find it by themselves.
After descending the stairs, Ms. Liu knocked on the stone wall three times, and the stone door suddenly moved upward slowly, revealing a faint brilliance gradually.The moment the stone door was fully opened, spiritual energy scattered around, attracting people to approach.
On the stone platform in the middle is a piece of black jade, half of which is engraved with a flying dragon totem.
Ji Jiang exclaimed, "This is..."
"Qian Jiangbi." Ning Yin walked closer, "One of the five great treasures of the soul gathering technique."
"I don't know what it is for, but I heard from my father that this piece of stone bi was passed down from generation to generation. It is said that the ancestors only kept it temporarily, and returned it when the owner came back, but it never came."
Seeing Ning Yin raised her hand to touch it, Ms. Liu exclaimed, "This stone wall has a mechanism. If it wasn't for its owner, the secret passage would have collapsed."
"It's okay."
When the fingertip touched the stone wall, Huaguang instantly diffused into his palm, as if he was being intimate with him.
Seeing this scene, Ms. Liu said in surprise, "Young Master Ning, you could be..."
Ning Yin took Qian Jiangbi into his pocket without any effort, "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I need to take this stone wall away."
After the shock, Ms. Liu calmed down a lot, "It's okay, the Liu family is keeping it on their behalf. Since it recognizes you as the master, it should naturally be handed over to you."
"Thank you Miss Liu."
Just at this time, there was only a loud noise, the stone wall was shattered into pieces and rolled down, the feet shook violently, and the evil spirit quickly rushed into the dark passage.
Ning Yin touched Ms. Liu's sleeping point and hid it behind her back, "He came in."
When Ji Jiang held his sword and turned around, Jing Li had already arrived at the stone gate.
"Hand over Gan Jiangbi! I can let you live for two more days."
As soon as the words fell, the Longyuan sword had already reached the center of his eyebrows.In the fight between the two, Ji Jiang repeated his old trick, drawing magic circles on the stone wall while fighting.
Jing Li sneered and said, "Your magic circle is still very weak."
"is it?"
Ji Jiang made the last stroke, turned over and backed away, and the golden light reappeared.He held up his fingers and recited the heart formula, the light of the magic circle became stronger and stronger, and the aura surged, overwhelming the demon power for a while.
Jing Li struggled to break free like last time, but found that he couldn't break free. As the power of the demon exorcising circle became stronger and stronger, his feet moved towards the magic circle uncontrollably.The twin phoenix totem suddenly spun and turned into a golden vortex.In the blink of an eye, he has been led to the vortex, and if he takes another step, he will be sent to the extreme barren land.
"Ning Yin, why are you always against me!" Jing Li tried his best to resist the demon exorcising formation, his face was distorted, his eyes were scarlet, but he was too weak to recover, and he couldn't escape the fate of being deported.
"Because I'm a half-demon, should I be treated like this!"
Ning Yin sighed inaudibly, "You still don't understand that the reason you have come to this point is all because of your greed, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a half-demon or not."
The Jing official gritted his teeth, couldn't listen for a moment, raised his head and roared, every word seemed to be casting a curse, "Ning Yin, I won't let you go! Even if I go to the wilderness, I will definitely come back. Wait I’m back, and I’m sure to tear you to pieces!”
After saying that, Jing Li suddenly shrank his pupils, stared at the person in front of him in disbelief, and spat out a mouthful of blood.The long sword sank into the heart, pierced the back, and the bright red liquid fell to the feet to form a pool of blood.
Ji Jiang holds Longyuan in his hand, his eyes are cold, and he pushes it in again without waiting for the official to open his mouth.Jing Li's body gradually became transparent, his limbs began to disappear, and finally his soul flew away.
At the same time, Ning Yin suddenly felt a weak internal force flowing in his body.He looked down at his hands and slowly clenched his fists with some strength.
The internal strength has recovered by [-]%.
Ji Jiang put Longyuan away, turned around and said aggrievedly, "Senior Ning, I'm sorry."
Ning Yin raised her head in a daze, why did she apologize so well?But when he met Ji Jiang's eyes, he roughly understood.This kid has been practicing immortal arts on the mountain, and he has never really had the intention to kill, so he lost control of his anger just now, and now he has come to his senses, he is probably not used to it.
"It's his own fault. There's no need to blame yourself. You did the right thing."
Sure enough, he was still a child.
Ji Jiang was not comforted, and still looked at him with aggrieved eyes, holding Jiansui in his hand, "It's splashed with blood...but don't worry, senior Ning, I will definitely wash it off."
Ning Yin: "..."
So he just comforted him in vain.
"Senior Ning, where shall we go to find the remaining treasures?"
When Ning Yin raised his hand, Qian Jiangbi immediately floated on his palm, "There is a way."
The author has something to say: Jingfen Small Theater
Jingli: Didn't it be agreed that the exile would be extremely barren? ! !Why did you lose your mind?
Ji Jiang: The villain died of talking too much.
turn around
Ji Jiang: So scary!I need senior Ning to hug and hold high (*^▽^*)
Ning Yin: Why didn't I see that you were afraid?
