Kaifeng Bistro

"...Pick radishes and vines, leave the leaves, why do you discard the roots? The good words of the past are still in my ears, and I will not be separated from you until I die..."

The place where Wen Hui's fingers passed was full of rising black air. After they rose from the paper, they continued to circle around the room. The woman's voice became more and more venomous: "...... Die!' What did I do wrong? Why did I work so hard to manage the family business, but my life was so miserable...?"

The black air gradually gathered, and the scrolls around were trembling on the shelf as if awakened by a woman's voice.Wen Hui's eyes changed, and he gathered his robe sleeves. A series of formulas flowed out from his lips like spring water. The warm blue light illuminated the dark room, and the scrolls finally became quiet again.Tan Zhifeng picked up the pieces of paper that fell on the ground, and he tried his best to inject his spiritual power into the paper, "Didn't you find out when he entered your Sang family?" Tan Zhifeng said softly: "This It's not your fault, you love him, but he doesn't love you, maybe he tried to love you, but..."

"But he is not your good match. He met the woman he loves... You and he actually have the right and opportunity to choose again, but you are still tied together in the end. Why, maybe only you I can answer this question myself…”

"No matter what, everything is over..." Tan Zhifeng murmured.He pressed hard again, and the black mist was dispersed by his spiritual power, fluttering and tumbling on the paper, and finally turned into tiny particles of dust.

"Did you see that?" Wen Hui's face was a little pale, and he walked towards Tan Zhifeng, "This is the human heart today. Good and evil always change with each other. Where can we find enough strength, and the unknown What about the enemy's counterbalance?"

"Wait..." Tan Zhifeng suddenly exclaimed, "What is this?"

Wen Hui and him bent down together, and the two picked up a page of paper, and looked at the paper up to the light. Between the pages, they vaguely saw a portrait.

Wen Hui's fingers that were still lingering with blue light slid along the edge of the paper, the paper gradually floated up, separated little by little, and finally divided into three pages, the upper and lower pages were blown apart by the wind, and only the middle page fell down.

It was a portrait. Tan Zhifeng picked it up and saw that the painting was very clear and vivid. The man in the painting was only about thirty, but he was very handsome, with a long beard and a solemn look in his eyebrows.There are several lines of small characters densely written on the side. Tan Zhifeng tried hard to identify them, but he saw that the characters were all complicated and he didn't know any of them.Beside him, Wen Hui continued to urge the blue flame in his hands, and the sheets of paper floated into the air just now, and the upper and lower sheets fell off in the flames, revealing nearly a hundred portraits and strange words inside!

Another piece of paper fell beside Tan Zhifeng. The person in the portrait was a little older, with two thick eyebrows, long eyes, and a nose that seemed to be dangling, with a benevolent, loyal face. He picked up a few more Looking at them, I can see that some of the people in the painting are majestic and some are graceful and elegant, but they all look like ordinary people. They are either important officials in the court or guards at the border. In front of them are hundreds of thin sheets full of Buddhist scriptures. Papers flew by like snowflakes before his eyes, but he felt a kind of panic in his heart, if all these things fell into the hands of the Xixia people, wouldn't the situation of these pillars of the Song Dynasty be in jeopardy?

Tan Zhifeng picked up all the papers with portraits, Wen Hui pointed to the two he saw at the beginning and said to him: "This one is Han Qi and Mr. Han, and this one is Mr. Fan." Fan Zhongyan." After that, he picked out several other generals wearing armor, and said: "These people are the generals of the imperial army Wang Gui, Ren Fu, and Wu Ying who were sent to the border a while ago, and on this paper, they are Personality, hobbies, what weapons to use, who is in the family, and where they live are all clearly remembered..."

Tan Zhifeng pointed to the strange-shaped characters and asked Wen Hui, "Then, what kind of characters are these?"

"This is the Xixia script created by Li Yuanhao. Not only are few people in the Song Dynasty aware of it, but even ordinary Xixia people don't know it. These are presumably collected by Xixia spies who sneaked into the city for Li Yuanhao and Yeli Changrong." Wen Hui. Sighing, he continued: "But I don't know, how did these important things fall into the hands of the practitioners in the temple?"

Tan Zhifeng was about to explain to him, but suddenly heard a rumble of footsteps from outside, the sound was like thousands of horses galloping together, the shaking ground kept shaking, Wen Hui's expression changed, and he was about to go out to check, but heard Zhan Zhao's voice came from outside: "Master, it's bad, a monster came from the bamboo forest!"

When Wen Hui heard the words, he immediately retracted the blue light in his hand, and his figure flashed in front of Tan Zhifeng's eyes, and disappeared at the half-closed door, and Tan Zhifeng also hurriedly got up and chased him out.As soon as he opened the door, he almost collided with Zhan Zhao. Above their heads, a huge blue bird flapped its wings and flew towards the bamboo forest.

"What's going on? Where's Brother Wu? What kind of monster did you meet?!" Seeing Zhan Zhao's pale face, Tan Zhifeng's heart sank, and he asked repeatedly. It's a long story, the monster was enveloped in a cloud of black air, I couldn't see anything clearly, I could only vaguely see that he had a human face, but not his body, his voice was like a baby crying, very frightening ..."

"Could it be, Brother Wu, no, Brother Bai, was he captured by that monster?" Tan Zhifeng asked anxiously.

"No, he and I both have this black jade flying locust stone with Master Wenhui's magic power on us. The monster dare not approach, but it broke into the forest all the way, as if it was going to the direction of the Buddhist hall. We wanted to stop it, but we didn't Knowing where a scholar ran out, the monster grabbed him and wanted to swallow him, your elder brother Bai is fighting with the monster, let me report to Master Wen Hui."

"Scholar..." Tan Zhifeng panicked: "It's broken, it must be Chen Qing!" He quickened his pace and rushed towards the bamboo forest. Before he got close, he could only hear the rustling of bamboo leaves, but the sound was mixed with children's cries. It made Tan Zhifeng shudder to hear it in the night.He urged Lingli and Zhan Zhao to push aside the dense bamboo and leap into the forest, only to see the huge blue bird spit out raging flames, burning all the surrounding bamboo branches, and the black air was rolling, dodging, Finally, more than half of it dispersed, revealing a terrifying scarlet mouth and a huge head. The blue bird's wings skimmed the ground low, and then with all its strength, it rushed into the air, and the thick black mist once again filled the whole area. In the bamboo forest, a white shadow pierced the darkness, rolled and stopped in front of Tan Zhifeng and Zhan Zhao, and stood up panting, Tan Zhifeng quickly reached out to support him.Bai Yutang's eyes showed a bit of sternness, and he cursed in a deep voice: "What the hell is this thing! Even the master can't do anything about it?!"

Zhan Zhaodao: "An ancient book says that in the southwest there is a strange animal with a sheep body and a human face, its eyes are in its armpits, its teeth are tiger teeth and human claws, and its voice is like a baby. But Kaifeng is the place where the emperor of the real dragon lives, and should be protected by the gods, it...why is it not in the mountains, but it is so bold, it came here?!"

When the matter came to an end, Tan Zhifeng couldn't care less. He stretched out his right hand, slowly gathering his spiritual power, and soon a group of bright white flames ignited in the darkness. Although this flame was not vigorous, it was already It was enough to tear apart the darkness so that they could see the monster in front of them clearly. Tan Zhifeng took a look boldly. Not far away was indeed a monster with the head of a man and the body of a sheep, as Zhan Zhao said, but its terrifying head It has no eyes, and its huge mouth occupies most of its position. On its sheep's back is an unconscious person. Tan Zhifeng turned the white light in his hand into countless light spots with all his strength, and shot at the monster like a flying stone from Bai Yutang. past.

The monster stomped its hooves and let out another baby-like cry.He flew into the air with all four hooves, opened his mouth, and devoured the white light point that shot at him bit by bit. At first, his mouth was the size of a human head, but then it became bigger and bigger, and became like a bronze drum. He swallowed all the white light emitted by Tan Zhifeng, and the bamboo forest returned to darkness.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao said to the two of them: "How about this, you two, Yutang and Zhifeng, are at the front to attract the attention of this monster, and I will go around to the back to save Mr. Chen. We are not the opponent of this monster. Hurry up and take him away, and leave the rest to Master Wen Hui."

While talking, they also heard the chirping of the blue bird hovering above their heads. For some reason, the smoke seemed to have a natural barrier to the blue bird's magic. The blue bird flapped its wings several times, but couldn't rush into the smoke. "It's up to us." Tan Zhifeng took a breath, and said to Zhan Zhao: "Brother Zhan, you go, Brother Bai and I will make sure that this beast has no time to take care of us..." He handed a ball of pale flames to Zhan Zhao. In Zhan Zhao's hand, he continued, "As long as you save Chen Qing, throw this flame into the air, and we will retreat together when we see it."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, they both nodded at the same time, Zhan Zhao turned around and disappeared into the dark mist.The strange laughter sounded again, Bai Yutang suddenly pulled Tan Zhifeng towards him, and asked him, "Zhifeng, you told me last time that you threw my black jade locust rock into the wild It died in the head of the yellow snake?"

"That's right," Tan Zhifeng said: "But does this method work for Taotie? He sucked all my spiritual power away, but..."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "I can feel that your spiritual power is relatively mild, and it is different from my master's mana on this black jade flying locust stone. My master's mana and this monster's mana are mutually exclusive. In this way, You attack it again, and I will take the opportunity to sneak attack it, this time it will definitely die!"
