Chapter 43 The Shock
I resisted the five smells of friendship and filled my wine glass. I was thinking about saying goodbye to her and how to invite her to come to Lin'an to have fun again, but suddenly I heard a noise outside the window.
I saw crowds rushing on the street, and a row of Taoist robes came towards me. There were men and women, each wearing a seven-star black crown, a long sword on his back, and a Beidou pattern embroidered on the corners of his clothes. Look at his costumes, he should be Taoist priests from the Shangqing School of Maoshan.
The Taoist man was tall and thin, wearing a five-colored cloud-like cloak, with long eyebrows entering his temples, and his thin eyes seemed to be closed but not closed, as if he was awake but not awake. There was occasional photoelectric sweep between his eyes, which was intimidating.
Xu Xuan looked back and suddenly jumped in his heart and almost exclaimed. Behind the man was a slim girl in yellow, with a beautiful appearance, eyes circling, panic, shy and sad, and it turned out to be Ge Changgeng's granddaughter Li Qiuqing!
Bai Suzhen looked at him and was both surprised and happy. This Taoist was probably Zhu Dongyuan, the auxiliary priest of the Shangqing School of Maoshan.
Since Li Qiuqing has met Zhu Dongyuan, did she accidentally escape the pursuit of the demon queen and complete the entrusted entrusted by Ge Changgeng on his deathbed?
Bai Suzhen whispered, "Mr. Xu, there are so many people here. You can wait for me here. I'll ask." Without waiting for Xu Xuan to answer, he got up and quickly left the restaurant, squeezed into the crowd, and followed the Taoists towards the long alley to the south.
Xu Xuan couldn't catch up with her and had no money to pay the bill. He was hesitating whether to stay here and wait for her, but he heard someone whispering loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A dozen cavalry rushed over and stopped in front of the gate of "Renjitang". Eighty or nine officers and soldiers turned over and dismounted, walked towards the door of the house with great strides, knocked hard on the door, shouting loudly.
Pedestrians around him were wandering around him, Xu Xuan was shocked and secretly felt something was wrong. These officers and soldiers were in a fierce manner. Could something happened to the "Renji Hall" and offended the government?
People in the restaurant gathered in front of the window, pointed and whispered. He listened intently for a while, but no one knew the reason and was speculating randomly.
As I glanced at me, I suddenly saw a very familiar man in purple clothes leaning on the window railing of the teahouse diagonally opposite the street, with long eyebrows and beautiful beards, staring at the gate of Renjitang with a smile.
Chu Baiyuan, the ancestor of Nine Dings!
Xu Xuan's heart suddenly sank, shocked and angry. This monster should have been on Mount Emei, so why did he arrive in Chengdu Prefecture?
The light of spirit flashed, and suddenly remembered that when I went to Mount Emei that day, I had reported to my house in front of the ancestor Xuangui. When I cracked Zen Master Mingxin's "Immortal Encounter" in Fanyin Valley, the monks from the Seventy-Two Temples also knew their identity... A "buzzing" sound in my mind, and my whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
Oh no! The monk can escape, but the temple cannot escape, but the Tao, Buddha, and the demon must have been waiting for him here!
Although Ge Changgeng was prepared for a long time that day, he turned Qiao into a Taoist boy "Xu Xuanzi", but the trick could only last for three hours. When he escaped with "Blood Escape", the demon queen must have seen through his true body. What's more, the Seventy-Two Temples and Taoist Sects of Emei did not know the so-called "Xu Xuanzi". Xu Xuan, who only knew about going up the mountain to seek medicine, could also know who the young man who broke through with Bai Suzhen and went down the mountain with a little calculation.
Since he knew his identity, Taoism, Buddha, and demon sects did not need to search all over the mountains, but only went to Lin'an and "Renji Hall" in Chengdu to wait for the rabbit, so he could naturally catch him, and then followed the clues to find out the whereabouts of the "Qiankun Yuanqi Pot". I have only been escaping for my life these days, but I didn't expect this festival at all!
Xu Xuan's heart thundered and his eyes swept around, and soon he realized that the people standing at the corner of the street were quite familiar. As expected, they were all demons who met the demons that night.
Then he turned around and looked around carefully, downstairs at the entrance of the street, at the entrance of the cloth shop, at the restaurant corridor, at the tea shop window... There were many people, including monks, Taoists, beggars, or scholars... Although they were different in descriptions and had different postures, their eyes were all staring at the entrance of "Renjitang" coldly, waiting for an opportunity to move.
In an instant, he realized that he was already on the verge of the trap surrounded by the three sects of Tao, Buddha and Demon!
The only thing that is thankful is that after he accepted the "Nanying Golden Elixir", his figure changed greatly, and Bai Suzhen was wearing a maid. Therefore, he spent a day shopping in Chengdu today, and these people could not tell him from the crowd. As long as he did not show his strength, they would probably not be able to find out for a while.
He took a deep breath, stood up, took advantage of the chaos to squeeze out the crowd and leave the restaurant.
Just as he was looking around, chasing Bai Suzhen's figure, suddenly, the gate of Renji Hall opened, two servants walked out with lanterns, followed by a man, bowing to the officers and soldiers, "What advice do you have?"
The voice was extremely familiar. Xu Xuan suddenly shook. Looking back, the man was wearing a silk crown and silk robe, tall and slightly fat, with a heavy face, long eyebrows and starry eyes, calm and majestic appearance, and was his father, Xu Zhengting, the number one pharmacy in the Song Dynasty!
As soon as Xu Zhengting stepped out of the threshold, the officers and soldiers rushed up like tigers and wolves. Without saying a word, they pressed him to the ground and shouted: "My surname is Xu, someone sued you for colluding with a demon and intending to rebel. Let's go with us!"
The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, and they didn't know what had happened.
Xu Xuan was even more shocked and angry, confused, thinking: "Dad must have heard of the Emei Incident and was anxious, so he came to find me in person, but it was not too late, but he just got into this vortex. But what happened to the 'rebellion' mentioned by these officers and soldiers?"
Seeing the officers and soldiers tied their father up and cursed and slapped them onto the saddle, he was furious and wished he could rush forward immediately to fill them with his old fists.
But when he looked at the demon demons, monks and Taoist priests who were hiding in the crowd, he had to endure it and said to himself: "The three religions are eyeing each other and are ready to fight. As soon as I appear, a shocking bloody battle will break out. Then, let alone our father and son, I am afraid that the entire Chengdu city will suffer a catastrophe. But if I don't show up again, even if my father doesn't humiliate the officers and soldiers, he will probably become the target of public criticism and be robbed by the three religions as a bait to force me to submit. If I want to escape, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky..."
While hesitating, the officers and soldiers had tied Xu Zhengting to the horse and ran towards the north city with a shout.
The strong wind was inspiring, and the streets were swaying with colorful lights. This long street is full of shops, restaurants and tea shops are adjacent to each other, and it is the most prosperous. I heard that something big happened in Renji Hall, and the people watching the fun were all thrillingly gathered and followed, and the people of the three religions were caught in it without any hesitation.
Xu Xuan stood in the crowd, neither moving forward nor retreating, like a rock in the torrent, and was confused: "This is true in Chengdu, Lin'an is most likely even more dangerous. He can escape the first day of the lunar month and cannot escape the fifteenth day. Could it be... Can't I go home in my life? But even if I never show up from now on, these people will let my father and mother go? If they hold my father and mother hostage me and force me to hand over Lin Lingsu, what should I do?"
In an instant, despair and fear that had never been seen before rose in his heart, and his whole body was cold and he could not breathe. It was not until this moment that he clearly and strongly realized that he had really become the target of the three religions of Tao, Buddha and Demon. He was not willing to die, but if he had implicated his parents and family, how could he bear it?
Although he is bold and has many opportunities, he is a fourteen-year-old boy after all. When he encounters such a desperate situation, he is shocked and confused, confused and confused.
A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and I wanted to give up completely, hand over the "Qiankun Yuanqi Pot", stay away from danger with my father and family, and continue to live the free and happy days of the past.
But when thinking of Ge Changgeng's instructions, thinking of his parents' teachings, and thinking of the tragic situations he witnessed at the foot of Mount Emei... he suddenly became shocked again and woke up.
Lin Lingsu said it well, how can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed? If he handed over him, he would not be his family who would suffer a disaster at that time! Besides, even if he handed over the "Qiankun Yuanqi Pot", how can he ensure that his family can survive this disaster safely?
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to hand over the "Qiankun Yuanqi Pot" to Bai Suzhen, or hide it in a secret place that no one can find. As long as he survives seven days, Lin Ling's body and spirit will be destroyed, and he will be of no value to the Tao, Buddha and demon sects. At that time, he will try to save his father from the government, even if he has to fight for his life, he will do whatever he wants.
He lowered his head and walked north with the crowd, looking around, and continued to look for Bai Suzhen's figure. However, the crowd was vast and he could not see it. He was anxious and wondered if she had exposed her whereabouts. Someone suddenly pressed his shoulder down behind him.
Xu Xuan's heart suddenly became sank. He wanted to turn around and break free, but saw a man in Gezi cloth looking at him in surprise and joy. He was handsome and majestic, and he turned out to be his uncle Cheng Zhongfu!
He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he was as straight as a lifetime ago. Especially at this critical moment of being alone and helpless, he was so happy that he almost screamed.
Cheng Zhongfu shook his head and signaled not to speak. He pulled him into the alley. Seeing that there was no one on both sides, he grabbed his shoulder and said tremblingly: "Good boy, I thought you...you..." His eyes turned red and almost burst into tears.
Xu Xuan couldn't help but wipe his tears, and smiled with a sob: "I'm fine. I also thought you...uncle, you're fine, it's really... it's really good! Yes, I..."
Just as he was about to ask about his father, Cheng Zhongfu suddenly spoke in a calm voice and said, "Xuan'er, what those demons in the Demon Sect said is true? Ge Xianren really brought Lin Lingsu to the 'Qiankun Yuanqi Pot' and handed it to you? Is the gourd still on you now?"
In addition to his father and little girl, Xu Xuan respected and loved this uncle the most. If he had changed his past, he would have told him without thinking. But at this time, his father had just been captured by the officers and soldiers in public, and his uncle didn't mention it at all, thinking about the "Qiankun Yuanqi Pot", which made him stunned and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
