Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 294 A trivial trick...

The crow was seriously injured and fell to the ground. The crazy flock of birds and the crowd calmed down, and gradually only the breathing of the injured was left in the snowy night.

Several monks stood in the building behind the yamen, their expressions of shock undiminished, their eyes still fixed on the black-robed swordsman, and they whispered about the origin of the swordsman surnamed Zuo.

Zuo Lingquan observed for a moment and felt that it was not that the monster was too weak, but that he was too strong! He put away the doubts in his heart and raised his eyes to look at Taoist Yunbao:

"Taoist Master Yun, has the monster been solved?"

Taoist Yunbao's expression was calm and calm, and he said with a smile:

"Zuo Jianxian is very skilled. Although Xiao Dao did not contribute much, he can be considered as fighting side by side with Zuo Jianxian. He will have something to brag about in the future. This demon is a serious problem for the people of Yangshan. Although he was seriously injured, he has not yet died. , in order to prevent unintended consequences, Zuo Jianxian had better deal with it as soon as possible."

Several monks on the ground were frightened by the big crow, and they also echoed:

"Yes, Zuo Jianxian should kill this monster quickly, otherwise he will use the ghostly Divine Ability to escape later. We really have no choice..."

In fact, Black Crow suffered heavy damage, and in its current state, a monk with a little bit of skill can make up for it.

But there are rules for cultivating the Tao. Zuo Lingquan is the decisive factor when everyone eliminates monsters. It seems that Taoism is also the highest at present. Naturally, he has the final say on how to deal with monsters.

Zuo Lingquan beat the monster to a trace of blood and let it go. Before he could say anything, someone else jumped in to hit it. Isn't that a draw? What if someone keeps it for someone else's use?

Zuo Lingquan didn't finish the attack directly because he was a little surprised that the sword hit him instantly. Seeing everyone's uneasiness, he walked towards the giant crow lying among the ruins with his sword in hand.

The crow's feathers were like iron flakes, and it was still emitting green smoke, but there was no external injury on its body; its originally scarlet pupils now became dull and lifeless, as if it had been electrocuted.

Xie Qiutao and Tang Jingxun came nearby, waiting for Zuo Lingquan to raise the knife, but before Zuo Lingquan could do it, the dumpling squatting on Tang Jingxun's shoulder made two "chichi~" sounds.

Tang Jingxuan raised his hand and flicked the dumpling's head:

"This thing looks dirty and cannot be eaten."

"grumble?"

Tuanzi was stunned and spread his wings: "Chi chi chi..."

Zuo Lingquan couldn't understand what was being said, but he was definitely not talking about eating roasted crow. He looked at the crow and considered it for a moment, then his heart moved and he said doubtfully:

"Where's the gourd?"

"grumble."

The dumpling chicken nodded like a peck of rice, looking like a teachable child.

Xie Qiutao felt something was wrong after being reminded and looked around the crow:

"Yeah, where's the gourd? Not to mention the gourd, I didn't even see the gourd vine..."

Taoist Yunbao, who had already fallen from the sky, heard the sound and said with a smile:

"Zuo Jianxian struck too quickly. Maybe some of the Divine Abilities were surrendered before they were used. The conditions of the people in the city are exactly the same as those of the Yan family. It must be this monster. As long as they are killed, the madness will disappear naturally."

Zuo Lingquan naturally wanted to understand the matter in such a simple way, but everyone dreamed of gourds, and they did not see related objects when they killed the demons. It was a bit far-fetched to rely only on the gourd vines next to the nest to explain; and the ancestor said that it might be related to the black turtle. It is related to blood. It is more reliable to say that this old crow is related to Tuanzi than to Black Turtle.

Although it was just a guess, Zuo Lingquan had already captured the monster. It would be the same if Lingye came back and studied it thoroughly before killing it.

Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan put away his sword:

"Let's wait until the investigation is clear before killing. There is no rush now."

Seeing this, Taoist Yunbao smiled and said: "It all depends on Zuo Jianxian's arrangement." Then he turned and looked at the other monks:

"Let's go and have a look at the situation in the Yamen. Do you have any pills? How many can be saved..."

Several people left one after another.

Tuanzi was very interested in this big crow. Seeing that several people couldn't understand the bird's language, he volunteered and landed on the ground, looking at the head of the big crow:

"Chi chi chi..."

Judging from the fierce appearance, he is saying, "Who asked you to harm others? You decide whether you want it steamed or braised..."

From what Zuo Lingquan has just observed, he feels that this big crow has gone crazy, has no Spirit Communication ability at all, and will not respond.

Of course, what they didn't expect was that when the big crow with distracted eyes heard Tuanzi's call, he turned his head and exhaled "hiss...", which was obviously in response to Tuanzi, but he couldn't call out.

The crow was huge and its exhaling sound was not small. Taoist Yunbao, who had already walked away, obviously paused for a moment, looked back at Tuanzi, but soon turned his head and walked away.

Zuo Lingquan stood in front of the monster, always paying attention to the surrounding movements. He naturally noticed such an obvious pause.

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a moment, but did not show any strange expression. After Taoist Yunbao left, he leaned over to Xie Qiutao's ear.

Xie Qiutao was squatting on the ground, watching Tuanzi interrogate the big crow, when he suddenly felt a heat in his ears, and a handsome face came over, naturally he was startled.

Her face turned red, she squatted and took two steps to the side, covering her face and saying:

"Master Zuo, what do you want to do?"

Tang Jingxuan's eyes were a little strange: "Yes, Xiao Zuo, what are you doing?"

? ?

Zuo Lingquan was speechless. He raised his hand and patted the back of Xie Qiutao's head, then whispered a few words into his ear:

"Later……"

Xie Qiutao listened carefully, a little confused, but finally nodded.

After Zuo Lingquan finished speaking, he did not stop in front of the monster, but took Jingxun with him to the inside of the county government office to check on the wounded, leaving only Tuanzi and Qiutao in front of the monster.

Inside the county government office, blood was everywhere, weapons were scattered everywhere, and there were several corpses on the ground. More wounded people were dragged back to their houses by conscious people to avoid freezing to death in the heavy snow.

Zuo Lingquan carried a lot of High Grade elixirs with him. Although they were overkill for ordinary people, lives had the same price and it was a waste to save people, so he did not feel bad about these elixirs.

Tang Jingxun got a Linglong pavilion from the ancestor of Shangguan, which contained the necessities of cultivation according to Jiang Yi's instructions, and at this time also took out the healing pill.

The two of them walked for a while, and before treating several wounded, they heard shouts from the courtyard next to the yamen:

"Yan Ge?! Fan Jianxian?!..."

Yan Sanjie's voice was very anxious.

Zuo Lingquan frowned, and quickly flew up to the next door of the county government office.

Next to the county government office is the official residence of Wang Lin, the magistrate of the prefecture. There was a catastrophe, a fire broke out inside, and the ground was in chaos.

Zuo Lingquan followed the voice and came to the west residence of Zhizhou Mansion, only to see more than a dozen people standing outside the courtyard that was originally the kitchen, including Taoist Yunbao and Yan Sanjie.

And under the courtyard wall of the alleyway leading to the kitchen, lay more than a dozen corpses, all of whom were dressed as Independent Cultivators and quacks, all with sword wounds on their bodies.

Zuo Lingquan was slightly startled, and raised his eyes to observe, only to find that behind the courtyard wall was the backyard of the yamen.

Just now outside the yamen are full of officers and soldiers who have fallen into madness. If the people in the yamen want to run from the yamen to the center of the city, it is the shortest and safest way to go.

The corpses on the ground were probably all good people in the lobby. After noticing something strange, they were not deluded and fled outside immediately. However, after getting here, they couldn't hold on and fell into madness.

Zuo Lingquan quickly came outside the yard, only to see more corpses inside, almost covering the ground. There were sword wounds all over the house and walls, as well as traces left by the explosion of talismans.

The wooden door of the kitchen was closed, the walls had been hacked and many holes had been smashed, and the steps outside the door were all stained with blood.

A man in sloppy clothes, holding a broken sword in both hands, sat slumped in front of the kitchen door, with sword wounds and burn marks all over his body.

Tang Jingxun followed behind in fear, seeing the sloppy man in front of the door, her eyes were startled:

"How did he..."

Zuo Lingquan recognized the man, it was Fan Jin who was full of cannons, he hurried to the courtyard and asked:

"what happened?"

Yan Sanjie was so anxious that he searched for Yan Ge among the dead bodies on the ground:

"Something happened just now, I asked Fan Jianxian to escape first with Yan Ge, but I didn't expect... oh..."

"Ahem——"

While talking, Fan Jin, who was lying in front of the door, suddenly coughed twice, woke up, and said hoarsely with blood foam in his mouth:

"Not... not dead, in the house... I... I collected the money, the swordsman has always... always said it right... but this time it was a bit... a loss..."

Yan Sanjie hurriedly rushed into the room through the window, and Yan Ge was inside, unharmed, but he was knocked out, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he said urgently:

"Several Immortal Masters, save Fan Jianxian quickly..."

Zuo Lingquan thought Fan Jin was dead just now. When he heard the noise, he came to check, but Fan Jin had more than a hundred wounds on his body and he didn't know where to stop the bleeding.

When Fan Jin was just fighting, he should have seen Zuo Lingquan draw the sword in mid-air. He raised his blood-stained hand, grabbed Zuo Lingquan's sleeve, and actually smiled, showing his blood-stained teeth:

"Boy, I...I didn't lie to you, did I? Do I deserve...the word 'Sword Immortal'?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't have the time to respond to this, and carefully checked the injury:

"It's worth it..."

"Have you...did you embarrass Ming Jianxian?"

"No no……"

"hehe……"

Fan Jianxian smiled, but he was breathing more out than in.

Zuo Lingquan held Fan Jin's wrist and explored it, and found that this guy was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, not even the Spiritual Valley, and at most a little stronger than a mortal.

He had lost too much blood and could still be treated with the blood-generating elixir, but the fatal blow was from behind - a sharp weapon penetrated the spine from the lower back. It is estimated that half of the lumbar vertebrae were broken, and the lower body was paralyzed, so he was sitting here guarding the door.

This kind of injury is lighter than beheading. Brother Qi Refining's physique can't bear it at all. Without a high-level doctor, he might be disabled if he hangs his life with pills.

Zuo Lingquan frowned, and lifted Fan Jin up to check the wound on his back, only to be surprised to find that the knife was still stuck in his lower back, it was a fast-moving saber, and it was Yan Singer's official knife in the library.

"...?!"

Zuo Lingquan was stunned.

Fan Jin raised his hand slightly and said angrily:

"Originally... I was able to kill him... I was careless and forgot that the boy was also crazy... However, the matter was still done, and all the profits and losses are mine..."

Fan Jin was already unconscious, but he kept waving his hands slightly, probably signaling Zuo Lingquan not to publicize the matter, lest the Yan family would feel indebted. He has already collected the money in advance, and it is his own to make more or less money. Isn't it shameless to make people feel that they owe him again?

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. He could have escaped, but was stabbed in the back by his crazy employer. Not to mention anything else, with this broad-mindedness and the credibility to keep his word, he is more like the Sword Immortal than anyone else in the world.

Zuo Lingquan didn't want to watch Fan Jin die suddenly, but there was really no way at hand. His mind turned sharply, and suddenly he remembered something. He spread his palms, and a cloud of turquoise mist emerged from his hands, gradually condensing into a void of peach pits. film.

A monk's natal object is related to life. Except for the sword immortal who will use it to fight, it is impossible for normal people to easily show it to others.

Some Linggu cultivators in the courtyard shrank their pupils when they saw the green light in Zuo Lingquan's hands, and a few well-informed monks even showed shock, because the source of the five elements so pure, they I've only seen it in fairy tales made up by idle people, but I didn't expect it to actually exist in the world.

The growth of wood, the master of the five elements, is naturally complementary to medicine. Although Zuo Lingquan does not have medical skills, he cannot withstand the high level of his natal items.

The source of the five elements bestowed by the Azure Dragon is the source of growth for all things. If you can't even keep a mortal alive, then this thing is not worthy of such a high grade.

Zuo Lingquan held a phantom image of a peach core, trying to infuse the surging life force in Fan Jin's body into Fan Jin's body - he doesn't know how to use medical skills, this simple and crude method is tantamount to using all his strength on the handle of a knife to beat someone, Doctor Shan Dian When the alchemist saw it, he would probably vomit blood on the spot, but the effect was equally impressive.

Wherever the green light touched, Fan Jin's wounds obviously began to heal, the color on his face gradually returned, and even his eyes became clearer.

Fan Jin noticed the changes in his body and was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he actually said:

"Boy, you admire this Sword Immortal as a person, that's why...I...I don't remember your favor..."

? ?

Zuo Lingquan took a breath, closed his palms, and put away his life object.

The arrogance of the Sword Immortal obviously has its limits. Fan Jin raised his hand again, hehe laughed:

"Sigh... We are all swordsmen. We can't even make jokes. It doesn't matter if you remember your personal relationships. Anyway, you won't be able to do it in this life..."

Zuo Lingquan did it with a little effort. He didn't expect Fan Jin to return the favor. After hanging on to Fan Jin's life, he shook his head and said:

"I don't have any medical skills, so I can kill you, but the injury on your waist can only be restored to its original state by an expert doctor. Before that, I'm afraid you'll have to use a crutch."

"Hey, it's better than dying..."

Fan Jin sighed a few words, didn't know what he was thinking, and then said:

"Since we owe favor to Immortal Zuo Jian, then we have a good relationship. When you see Sword Immortal Ming Ri, tell him about me. I think his old man will attract attention if he knows that there is a fellow countryman like me. Proud of..."

?

Zuo Lingquan felt that Fan Jin was a swordsman, but his words were not flattering. After he hanged Fan Jin's life, he stopped talking nonsense and began to use the Divine Ability he had just learned to treat other injuries.

It has to be said that the sense of accomplishment in curing diseases and saving people is much greater than killing people with a sword.

Just the look of admiration on Jingxun's back, "This is my man, is my man great?" makes people very satisfied.

Zuo Lingquan practiced medicine for a while and felt that he could really learn some medical skills in the future. There are many swordsmen who can kill people with one sword, but there are not many swordsmen who can kill people with one sword and then resurrect them on the spot. Well... swordsmanship The highest level is 'Sword Doctor'!

Of course, this idea is just a random thought.

Zuo Lingquan was busy in the house for a long time, and he did not forget to pay attention to Xie Qiutao, because when he was treating patients and rescuing people, he discovered that Taoist Yunbao, who was saving others, disappeared.

Soon after, Zuo Lingquan felt strange spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the big crow.

At this time, people inside and outside the county government were all treating the wounded and had no time to pay attention to the monster.

Zuo Lingquan noticed something was wrong and rose into the air, looking at the collapsed ruins behind the county government office.

The fireworks in the ruins were not extinguished, and the big crow was still lying there.

Xie Qiutao was holding an iron lute, staring at the corner of the ruins with hostile eyes; Tuanzi also spread his wings, making a show of fangs and claws, ready to breathe fire.

In the corner of the ruins, behind a collapsed house, Taoist Yunbao held a fly whisk in front of him, looking fearful.

Shangguan Lingye, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, was half-hanging in the air, his eyes were cold and locked on Yunbao Taoist, his hands were slightly raised, ready to go.

Zuo Lingquan just noticed that Taoist Yunbao suddenly paused, and guessed that there might be a problem. He deliberately walked away, leaving only Tuanzi and Xie Qiutao to watch, just to see if anything unusual would happen. Now that the other party really took the bait, what happens next? Needless to say. He flew up to Lingye and asked directly:

"Taoist Master Yun, are you afraid that the monster will escape and want to kill it directly to avoid causing trouble?"

Taoist Yunbao, who was very well in the city, was blocked by two people. He put away his fly whisk and said with a smile:

"It turns out that there is a fairy beside Zuo Jianxian, but I was too worried. Just now I saw that Zuo Jianxian was rescuing people, so he put the monster here and put it under the care of a little girl. I was afraid that the monster would escape, so I made this move... …”

Shangguan Lingye had already noticed the chaos in the city and rushed over quickly, but did not show up directly, but observed the strange movements in the city from the dark.

The reason for this was that she found this disaster to be unusual.

The Iron Bell Crow can indeed drive people into madness, and all the signs are consistent with the people of Yanjiazhuang. The gourd can also be explained by the unpredictable methods of monsters, but what cannot be explained is the issue of motivation.

According to recent investigations, the madness began in Yan Sanjie's eldest son ten years ago, and it was not concentrated in Yangcheng, but was found in various parts of Caiyi Kingdom.

No matter how high Tielingya is, no matter how crazy he is, he can't do things without logic; he has been hiding from the human race for ten years, and then wandering around the Caiyi Kingdom, driving a few people crazy and then leaving; he has made the Yan family so miserable, But he was hiding in front of the Yan family and was easily discovered by a few young monks. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

Shangguan Lingye is very thoughtful, and when he can't figure it out, he thinks about the worst, thinking that these things are just a cover-up on the surface, and there is something hidden behind it.

The result was good. She stared in the dark for a moment and found out that Taoist Yunbao, who had been arranging the extermination of demons, had made some changes.

Taoist Yunbao had just taken advantage of Zuo Lingquan's absence and quietly touched here, hoping to secretly kill the crow with magic.

This behavior can be explained by fear of complications, but what cannot be explained is why it is necessary to cut off first and then report later, and in such a hurry? Are you afraid of being discovered after seeing that Tuanzi can communicate with the crazy crow?

Zuo Lingquan held the sword and glanced at the crow:

"Daoist Yun is afraid of side effects, so you can tell me that you are all people in the right way. Are you afraid that you will have a dispute with me and I will fight you with swords?"

Taoist Yunbao said with no shame on his face: "I know people, but not their hearts. I don't know the character of Zuo Jianxian, so I had a dispute with you in advance. Even if you don't point my sword at me, you will take good care of the monster and prevent me from hurting your life. I accept this People entrusted me to get rid of the demons, so I have to do this well. Zuo Jianxian refused to kill the demons, and just left them somewhere else. If the demons arise again and hurt the people, who will resist the blame?"

"So Daoist Yun sneaked here to get rid of the demon?"

"So what?"

Within two words, the Yan family and many small Independent Cultivators came over and looked at them in astonishment, wondering why the two groups of demon-slaying Immortal Masters were in conflict.

Taoist Cloud Leopard also showed anger on his face, pointing at the demon in the distance:

"This monster has caused harm to countless people in the past, and today it has caused countless deaths and injuries in the city. Now it is still living there, and it may explode at any time. If it is not eliminated, can you ask the head of the Yan family if he can feel at ease? Ask the monks present if he can feel at ease? I can't afford to offend Zuo Jianxian, I just came here secretly to kill first and then show off, you left the monster aside without taking care of it, I'm worried about creating unnecessary troubles to eliminate the monster, isn't it also wrong?"

Everyone in the audience was a little confused, but they roughly understood why the two groups had a dispute.

Yan Sanjie found that the monster was nearby, his face changed slightly, and he said hastily:

"Young Xia Zuo, no matter what, let's get rid of this monster first. Let's sit down and talk about other things. We are all doing harm to the people, so why bother to speak angrily."

"Yeah yeah……"

Others began to persuade.

Zuo Lingquan naturally didn't care about these words, and felt that Taoist Yunbao was suspicious, so he had to find out everything he said.

Shangguan Lingye is good at dealing with evil sects. If there are any suspicions, he will be detained and examined until there are no problems. If there are any opinions, go to the Eight Lords and they will set the rules.

Seeing Taoist Yunbao questioning him angrily, Shangguan Lingye cupped his hands:

"Yunxian's determination to eliminate harm for the people is really admirable, but the Taoist priest knows the rules of the righteous way. If you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of our questioning? If we really suspect that we are wrong, we will make amends..."

Daoist Yunbao waved his sleeves: "That's the rule of the Nine Schools, the Central Continent doesn't have this rule."

"Do you know that we are members of Jiuzong?"

"This Tao once practiced in Fulong Mountain and understood the rules there. Now we have left the mountain. No matter who you are, you are not qualified to take charge of this Tao. It is not that our Tao has no friends in the north. If you insist on taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, then don't It’s my fault for being merciless.”

After all, Shangguan Lingye is a man of the right path. He can't knock Taoist Yunbao down to search for his soul. The other party's response was impeccable. She was silent for a moment and turned to look at Zuo Lingquan:

"Speak to Patriarch and ask her to invite Jiang Jianhuang to come over. The lives of countless people are at stake. Jiang Jianhuang is known to be unparalleled in the world, so he will not take trouble."

Can be called "Jiang Jianhuang", only the strongest sword Xiu Jiang Chengjian in Yuyaozhou.

Shangguan Lingye's words were equivalent to two small Independent Cultivators having a dispute in the wild. One of them said that he wanted to call Shangguan Yutang, the leader of the Nine Alliances, to come and comment. Normal people would laugh out loud when they heard this.

When the surrounding monks heard this, their expressions were a little weird.

On the other hand, Taoist Yunbao, who stood on the opposite side, would have laughed if he didn't know the identities of the two, thinking that the two were trying to scare people with a tiger's skin banner.

But Taoist Yunbao frowned slightly when he saw that the real Zuo Lingquan had returned to the back, talked about the matter with a woman, and asked her to announce it on his behalf.

Shangguan Lingye was keenly aware of this, and his eyes turned cold:

"Daoist Yun knows that we can call Jiang Jianhuang here?"

Taoist Yunbao looked displeased, and said in a deep voice:

"Zuo Lingquan's name is also well-known in Central Continent. How can I not know it? It's just that you didn't declare your family status. It's hard to tell the truth. So what if you really call Jiang Jianhuang? I have a clear conscience, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "

Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly, tilted his head and said:

"Have you contacted me yet?"

Tang Jingxun really contacted the ancestor and responded:

"That said, the ancestor said that Jiang Jianhuang will arrive at most half a cup of tea."

As soon as these words came out, the monks present showed a look of doubt and expectation. After all, who among the monks who are trying to find a way in Yuyaozhou doesn't want to see with their own eyes the elegance of the monks on the top of the mountain?

Shangguan Lingye looked at Taoist Yunbao: "Excuse me, Taoist Master Yun, please wait a moment. Emperor Jiang Jianhuang will be here soon. As long as the whole story of this matter is found out, all the debts owed to Tiechu Mansion will be repaid to Taoist Master."

"I am not greedy for that little compensation. When Jiang Jianhuang comes over later, you can just accompany me in front of his old man."

Daoist Yunbao flicked his sleeves lightly and snorted, waiting calmly.

Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye saw each other so tough, they naturally murmured in their hearts, wondering if they were too suspicious, and really misunderstood the old Taoist priest.

After all, they can't see too many details. Jiang Chengjian is different. He is the strongest swordsman in Yuyaozhou. There is something wrong with the crow today. If he can't see any clues, he is not worthy of this title. Taoist Yunbao dares to stay here. Let's go, isn't that waiting to die?

Taoist Yunbao seemed to be confident indeed. The Taoist Master of Immortal Wind stood there without any abnormality. It was not until he waited for a moment that he looked slightly startled and looked at the night sky in the south:

"So fast?!"

Everyone naturally looked to the south quickly after hearing the words, even Shangguan Lingye looked to the south, wanting to welcome this mountain-top sword cultivator who ranked first in the Central Continent.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the sky in the south was so dark that nothing could be seen, not even a bright spot.

?

Zuo Lingquan thought at first that his level was too low to see clearly, but he immediately realized that he turned around and chased out of the city.

Everyone turned their heads in a daze, only to see Taoist Yunbao, who had been waiting righteously just now, had disappeared without a trace...
