Fairy cage

"Fellow Daoist Wa, thank you for your trouble."

Yu Lie's consciousness spread over and spoke in Wa Twelve's ears.

Wa Twelve heard this and said with a smile: "You're welcome, you're welcome, Brother Yu is really too polite."

Suddenly, Yu Lie was still next to Wa Twelve and saw another familiar face. The face was old and he was not sitting in the seat. Instead, he was standing quietly behind Wa Twelve like a waiter.

Yu Lie nodded towards this man and saluted. When the other party saw it, a smile appeared on his cold face and he nodded.

This old man was clearly the old servant Yu Lie had met in Blackwater Town. The old servant had also appeared once before at the end of the palace entrance examination. Now it was the other party who accompanied Wa Twelve to attend today's banquet.

Yu Lie couldn't help but take a second look at the old servant.

Because he discovered that he was now a seventh-grade Taoist official, but he still couldn't clearly see the cultivation level of this old servant.

When he was a Taoist disciple, he regarded the old servant as a member of the seventh-grade Taoist officials, and he must be a strong one among the seventh-grade Taoist officials. As a result, it now seems that this old servant is probably not just a Taoist official!

However, when he thought of Wa Twelve's identity and that the background of the Wa family was even more mysterious than the Zhu family in the palace, Yu Lie suppressed these thoughts and averted his eyes.

Anyway, the other party is a friend, not an enemy. Being able to come to this banquet today will only benefit him and bring him no harm.

On the terrace, Yu Lie suddenly received so many congratulatory gifts, and he couldn't help but feel excited and very happy.

He stood in Hehuan Building, flicked his sleeves and robe, laughed loudly, and drank:

"I am really happy to receive congratulations from all my Taoist friends today, and to see so many Taoist talents in the hall. I am worthy of being in the palace and city. It is worth it!"

Drink again! "

Among the guests in the building, except for Nava Twelve's old servant, whose eyes flickered slightly, no one heard a hint of farewell from Yu Lie's mouth.

Three thousand guests raised their glasses and struck chopsticks, shouting: "Drink again!"

boom!

But the next moment, a sudden cold snort appeared in the building, shaking like a thunderbolt, startling the guests who were enjoying themselves.

Immediately afterwards, another tyrannical consciousness descended from the roof of the building and scanned the entire Hehuan Building unscrupulously, causing the stunned guests to tense up.

"Hey, it's so lively here. It seems like it's really an accident that I came here today."

The strange voice appeared, and Yu Lie, who was laughing heartily just a moment ago, immediately turned cold.

The expressions of Luo Sen and Miao Mu, who were standing next to him, changed even more: "This divine consciousness is not only a seventh-grade one, but a sixth-grade Taoist priest???"

They looked at each other, not knowing why a Taoist priest suddenly came to the building, and his attitude was very unfriendly.

Yu Lie noticed the reactions of the two women beside him. He looked back at them, comforted them with his eyes, and signaled them to calm down and not to act rashly.

Ding!

Yu Lie himself immediately took the wine glass, stood on the terrace calmly, raised his glass to the sky, and chanted:

"I'm having a banquet today. I wonder who in the sky would like to come down to the clouds to be my guest?"

His voice immediately woke up the stunned guests and attracted everyone's attention. The tyrannical consciousness that suddenly appeared in the building also fell on Yu Lie.

The man who spoke from heaven had a steady voice and said:

"What a courageous little Taoist priest, with a decent demeanor."

The man sneered next: "I just don't know if you will still be so calm if you fall into the hands of this Taoist."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the sound of beating drums sounded, and the air trembled, truly shaking like thunder.

Golden light suddenly appeared on the top of Hehuan Tower, and billowing clouds descended. Among them fell ghosts and gods, either wearing golden armor or wearing black robes. They all looked like officials, coming in a show of force.

At the end of these ghosts and gods, there is a Taoist with a vermilion face. He has a square face and a reddish beard, and he has an air of calm and authority.

"This is... Zhu, Taoist Master Zhu!"

"It's Taoist Zhu Laozi!"

The people attending the banquet in the building today, except for a few who are Yu Li's acquaintances in Blackwater Town, the rest are Taoist disciples in the palace, and they have just completed their training not long ago. Therefore, many people recognized the Taoist priest who appeared on the roof at a glance.

Yu Lie raised his eyebrows. He stood on the terrace and saluted in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "Junior Yu Lie, I have met Taoist Master Zhu Laozi."

Seeing that Yu Lie was still calm, Zhu Laozi frowned slightly and glanced a few times inside and outside the building.

The cold look on his face did not change, and he shouted unceremoniously:

"That Taoist, since you are Yu Lie, then follow this Taoist for a while!"

As soon as these words came out, the guests in the building couldn't hold back anymore, and they started talking about each other:

"What is going on? Today is a great day for Taoist fellow Taoist Yu Lie. Why did Taoist Master Zhu Laozi come here?"

"Whoever comes here is not kind!"

Many people's eyes flickered and wandered, and they were already observing the surrounding doors and windows, looking for a way out.

Among them, Wa Twelve saw Zhu Laozi, and his face immediately showed disgust.

Wa Twelve quickly turned to look at the old servant behind him, but received a response from the old servant who shook his head slightly. So he sighed softly, lay down on the chair, and ate the milk wine on the table out of boredom.

Among the chaotic sounds, two clear and beautiful calls suddenly sounded:

"Taoist Priest, for some reason you want to take Yu Lie away?"

"May I ask Daoist Zhu, what did Brother Yu do?"

It turned out to be Luo Sen and Miao Mu. When they saw that Zhu Laozi had come with bad intentions, they were anxious and shouted out in no particular order.

"Um?"

Zhu Laozi heard the screams of the two women. His eyes narrowed and fell on Luo Sen and Miaom. He looked down and said lightly:

"Are you questioning the truth?

Since you want to know, you two should also come to the Criminal Law Hall with Na Dao'er. "

After hearing these words, Luo Sen and Miaom became anxious, their hearts skipped a beat, and they seemed to be stunned.

The voices of the guests in the building who were talking about each other suddenly dropped by 60 to 70%, and there was even the sound of wine glasses being overturned.

Nearly 30% of the people attending the banquet pushed aside the tables and chairs on the spot and hurried out of the Hehuan Building.

After 30%, another 40% of the people stood up. They looked at Taoist Zhu Laozi and Yu Lie on the roof, their faces panicked, and they didn't know whether they should stay or leave immediately.

"It turns out to be the Criminal Law Hall. I heard that this hall won't take people easily. Once someone is taken, they will be ruined... not to mention such a big fanfare!"

"That's right! I also heard that anyone who is caught in the criminal law hall, even if he comes out alive afterwards, it is difficult to have all the details."

Amid a hurried discussion via voice transmission, the 40% Taoist disciples who stood up also dispersed.

It's just that compared to the Taoist disciples who left without saying a word, they were more polite. More or less, they glanced at Yu Lie a few times or bowed a few times before leaving.

In a blink of an eye, about 70% of the guests in the Hehuan Building, which had been extremely lively just now, had left.

This made the servants and dancers waiting in the field look at each other, not knowing what happened, and quickly sent someone to report that something serious had happened.

As for the last 30% of the Taoist disciples who were still sitting in their seats, not all of them felt that this matter was strange, and there was still hope for the rest.

Most of them felt that they had been too close to Yu Lie before, and were worried that if they left now, they might be implicated if Yu Lie's troubles got too big, so it was better to stay there and see how things went.

There are also some Taoist disciples who are feeling distressed about the gifts they gave away, thinking that if Yu Lie is taken away, they may still have a chance to get the gifts back, and no one will be able to take advantage of them.

There are only a few people, like Wa Twelve, who are a bit hesitant and vaguely know the inside story. They are not in a hurry to leave, or they really feel that since Yu Lie is so calm, the situation may not be that bad, so it is better to stay.

The guests dispersed like birds and beasts, and the remaining columns stood on the terrace. He looked around and took in this scene clearly.

He also looked at the faces of the few people who were still present, one by one, and wrote down everything he could.

At this time, Yu Lie felt dazed again and sighed softly:

"Today's banquet is indeed like flowers decorating brocade and fire cooking oil. It's a pity that the excitement cannot last long, and it follows the principle of prosperity and decline. It's a pity."

Zhu Laozi is standing in the clouds. He came prepared today and came here specifically to suppress Yu Lie and capture Yu Lie.

In this expectation, Yu Lie would either be in panic, bewildered, fall from the clouds to the bottom as soon as he heard the words "Xingfa Hall", and look ugly, or he would quickly call out Zi Zhuzi behind him, Let Zi Zhuzi deal with it.

But unfortunately, there is still a small Taoist priest who is still in the field, not afraid, calm and composed.

Such behavior really made Zhu Laozi feel disgusted and unhappy to the extreme.

So Zhu Laozi looked unkind and immediately shouted:

"Young man named Yu, you have done something wrong, so don't say anything.

All ghosts and gods, obey the order and handcuff me! "

Boom, boom, boom!

Rows of ghost soldiers standing in the clouds and mist marched with drums beating, and then landed with a roar, surrounding the terrace where Yu Lie was sitting, and threw out hooks and shackles from all directions, trying to capture the soldiers. Yu Lie captured him.

Such a scene can be said to have frightened both Luo Sen and Miaom.

The two women, who were looking pale, shouted hurriedly: "No!"

Some guests who were too close to Yu Lie saw that the ghosts and gods were really trying to catch them. They all stood up, their expressions changed, and they regretted staying where they were.

It should be noted that the ghosts and gods of that generation are all Taoist officials and yin gods. Any one of them can catch them and take them back to torture and beat them.

Only Yu Lie was the party involved. He stood on the terrace, his face still showed no abnormality, he just pinched the magic hand gently.

A ghostly cry sounded.

Five groups of imps immediately flew out of his sleeves and surrounded him, protecting him.

The hook claws launched by the ghosts and gods were blocked by the imps, and they all missed.

The ghosts and gods looked slightly startled and dumbfounded.

It is said that after all these years of being ghosts and gods, this is the first time in the palace that they have seen someone so courageous who dares to blatantly resist the work of the Criminal Law Hall.

Especially now we are still in Qianzhou Daocheng, not in the wild or the countryside.

The dragon aura in the Taoist city is so dense that even if a Taoist priest is targeted, let alone a mere Taoist official, he can't escape. He usually chooses to be obedient and walk away, then make excuses and wait for someone to come to rescue him.

Otherwise, they will be hit by thunder and may be killed on the spot.

Immediately, an old official among the ghosts sneered, looked at Zhu Laozi in the clouds, and asked him with his eyes whether he wanted to take the opportunity to give Yu Lie a few cruel blows.

The remaining troops who were under siege did not even look at the ghosts and gods.

He lowered his head, raised his hands to the five poisonous ghosts who surrounded him, and said:

"My disciple is not talented. I have suffered from evil plots despite no fault of my own. I am truly unjust. I now ask ghosts and gods to help me and protect me from the disaster.

If God realizes that I am wronged, please show me a spirit and save my disciple! "

Although Yu Lie's voice was low, he spoke clearly, and all the ghosts and gods, including the Taoist disciples in the building, heard clearly.

These words immediately confused the ghosts and gods: "Please help the ghosts and gods? We are the ghosts and gods!"

"Pray to God, is this brother Yu scared out of his wits?"

And Zhu Laozi in the cloud kept looking down at the field. When he heard Yu Lie's prayers, he frowned and looked hard at the five little devils Yu Lie released.

He immediately coldly ordered:

"Come on, you're being raped again, and you've lost your mind and gone crazy. It's just a five-ghost transporting technique, but this technique can also save you? Ridiculous!"

Zhu Laozi said impatiently: "Ghosts, lock his pipa bones and seal his Niwan points. Be careful to leave a breath to speak."

When all the ghosts and gods heard this, their spirits flickered, and they understood the meaning of Zhu Laozi's words. They immediately looked at Yu Lie with pity, and were about to take action, taking the opportunity to destroy Yu Lie's cultivation body.

But the next moment, the five little poisonous ghosts that were not in their eyes were circling around Yu Lie, and suddenly there was a change.

Buzz!

I saw a trace of the golden dragon energy that was originally wrapped around the ghosts and gods, and suddenly rushed towards the five little poisonous ghosts.

Such a sudden change in the dragon's energy caused the ghosts and gods who were about to take action to stumble and act in confusion.

"This is?!" The ghost was shocked.

What shocked them even more was that after the dragon's energy came to the five ghosts, it easily merged with them and was swallowed by their breath.

The ghosts cried loudly.

The bodies of the five poisonous ghosts, which were originally only the size of human heads, immediately expanded and became the size of cats and dogs, and continued to grow in size.

In addition to the dragon aura surrounding the ghosts and gods, the dragon aura lingering in Hehuan Tower also surged toward the five ghosts and rolled into their bellies.

Many Taoist disciples looked at this scene, not knowing why, and murmured subconsciously:

"What's going on? The dragon's energy is moving? God really showed his power?"

Zhu Laozi was sitting in the clouds. When he saw this scene, his eyelids jumped wildly and the look on his face changed drastically.

The beast suddenly stood up, looked at the remaining five ghosts around him in horror, and lost his voice for a moment: "Eating Dragon Qi?!"

But Yu Lie was now standing in front of the five poisonous ghosts that were getting bigger and bigger. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and secretly thought that Zi Zhuzi really didn't lie to him.

After a few glances, Yu Lie withdrew his gaze from the poisonous ghost and looked up at the towering Zhu Laozi.

Seeing Zhu Laozi's surprised expression, he smiled.

Yu Lie cupped his hands from a distance and shouted loudly:

"It's a coincidence that Taoist Master has arrived. Now that everyone is leaving, why not ask Taoist Master Zhu to come down.

This junior just needs your head to hang up at the door to see off guests! "
