General Zhiyi

What the third bowl of peach soup means is self-evident.

Liu Yan looked at the blood-red peach flesh lying on the white spoon, and his heart was unbelievably quiet. As he said before, "Even if you are deeply involved in it, you will live up to your heart."

Thinking of this, Liu Yan relaxed his heart. The peach meat in his mouth seemed to have lost all the bitterness of yesterday. Instead, he tasted a little bit of sweetness, which melted between his teeth, melted on the tip of his tongue, touched his heart, and had an endless aftertaste. The feeling he has never had before is really not a gift from the gods.

Looking back at the young men, they didn't have Liu Yan's awareness. All of them were ashen, trance-like, and their pale lips were chapped and peeled. In just two days, they seemed to be pushed into the abyss of death step by step by someone choking their throats. the edge of.

The young man in purple glanced around and saw that the proprietress of the inn was not there, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's not the last moment yet, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Where is life coming from?" Another young man looked desperate, "Unless we kill them all first, but there are so many of them, we have no hope at all."

The young man in purple gritted his teeth and said, "Since it's already a dead end, why not try to dig a way out!"

The young men looked at each other in silence for a moment, nodded their heads hard, and said sullenly: "Yes, they want us to die, so we can't blame us!"

"Hey, it's really not me who hit you, just weak scholars like you, let alone rural husbands, even a few rural women, you can't stand it." Hua Qingchen at the next table heard their words Conspiracy, couldn't help laughing out loud.

The young man in purple smiled wryly: "Even so, we really can't be as calm as you are. Are you really willing to be a sacrifice to the peach tree? What are you talking about demon gods, huh, don't you want to sacrifice a living person? It's ironic, demons are really not good things."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he suddenly found that all his companions were staring at him behind him. He turned around suspiciously and bumped into a huge fox's head. He was so shocked that he couldn't move. A trembling exclamation came from inside: "Yao...yao...yaoyaokai!"

The fox narrowly blinked his clear blue eyes, opened his mouth and yelled at him sharply, looking like he was going to bite off his head, the young man in purple was so scared that his face was pale, his hands and feet were limp, his eyes were full of The sharp fangs didn't have the slightest resistance to the dying struggle.

He closed his eyes in despair, but the next moment he heard an "Ouch" coming from in front of him, and felt that the bloody mouth was moved away, he mustered up the courage to slowly open his eyelids, and saw the huge The fox's head was actually pulled away from him by a slender hand by the ear!

Escaping from the mouth of the fox, the young man in purple took a few breaths, looked at the vixen in shock, saw the red robe he was wearing, and looked at Tang Jingxu and Yingli sitting beside him, and then realized that The vixen who wanted to chew his own head in one bite turned out to be the beautiful man he had seen before.

"Okay, master, don't grab my ears! I just couldn't get mad at him for saying that, just to scare him!" While talking, Hua Qingchen's head slowly returned to its original appearance, with a face full of unwillingness, Staring fiercely at the young man in purple, he grabbed Tang Jingxu's hand that was holding his ear.

Tang Jingxu glanced coldly at the young man, let go of his hand, and said, "There are many villains with two legs in the four worlds. Don't forget, the ones who want to use you as living sacrifices are not demons or gods, but human beings." .”

"With the little calculation of killing people, how different is it between you and the people in Taohuaxi?" Chi Xun sneered.

The young man in purple was stiff all over. He glanced at his desperate companions. After a while, he stared blankly at Tang Jingxu and said, "Then what do you want us to do? Just wait to die like this?"

Tang Jingxu didn't answer, he swallowed the peach soup swallowing the nausea, with the peach meat in his mouth, his teeth chattered uncontrollably, he couldn't take a bite, so he stuck his neck and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

If he can't expose it yet, then he must drink this peach soup. If he wants to see Shen Guining, she will definitely show up to "sacrifice the peach" tonight.

"Can you get out?" Seeing Tang Jingxu frowned and drinking peach soup, the young man in purple couldn't help but uttered, "Please, save us!"

Hua Qingchen snorted angrily, and said, "Hey, you really think highly of monsters."

Liu Yan, who had been silent for a long time at the side, sighed, looked at several young people, then at Tang Jingxu, and said in a deep voice, "Death or life is fate, you can't force it."

Hearing this, the young man in purple was discouraged and sat on the chair blankly without making a sound.Seeing this, the other youths calmed down. After two days of fear and fear, their death was approaching, but they chose to accept it calmly. If it was their fate, who is to blame?

As night fell, Tang Jingxu stood in front of the window and watched the afterglow of the setting sun sink into the sky. A melodious bell sounded from the direction of the peach forest, followed by a strong fragrance of peach blossoms. Ying Li next to him suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, Tang Jingxu and Hua Qingchen exchanged glances, then fell to the ground.

Soon, the door of the room was gently pushed open from the outside, and Tang Jingxu was dragged out of the room with two arms crossed. The person smelled of rouge, and it was a woman. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. , found that Ying Li and Hua Qingchen were also dragged out of the room by two thin women like him.

Thinking of the stairs leading to the first floor, Tang Jingxu sighed secretly, hoping that the little fox could hold back his attack...

Facts have proved that although Hua Qingchen has a lot of pettiness on weekdays, fortunately, he can still put the overall situation first at critical moments. Tang Jingxu felt very relieved when he was dragged all the way and insisted on gritting his teeth and not yelling.

Taohuaxi is not big, the three of them were dragged away for less than half a stick of incense, and they were randomly placed in a large courtyard. When he realized that the person dragging them away, Tang Jingxu opened his eyes, It was no surprise to see Liu Yan and others.

After confirming that there was no one around, he sat up, glanced around, and saw a huge bronze tripod in the middle of the yard at a glance. Inside the tripod stood a peach branch with a blood-colored flower bud on it.

"Master, those in the cauldron...are not incense ash?" Hua Qingchen frowned slightly.

Tang Jingxu's eyes fell on the off-white powder under the peach branches, and he was about to speak when a cold snort came from behind: "Ashes."

Hua Qingchen rolled his eyes without turning his head, and said angrily, "I'm just wondering, what kind of thing are you? You seem like a ghost, but you're not human, what are you doing clinging to us?"

With a light leap, Chi Xun jumped to Tang Jingxu's side, raised his head and looked straight at his side face, curled his lips, and said bluntly: "He said that he would always take me by his side. "

Tang Jingxu was startled, lowered his head and looked deeply into his eyes covered with a thin layer of mist, raised the corners of his lips, raised his hand to gently caress his side face, and said softly: "Well, I said .”

"Huh?" Hua Qingchen was stunned, feeling that he couldn't keep up with their tone at all, "Is there really such a big son?"

Chi Xun glared at him, and was about to say something when Tang Jingxu suddenly covered his mouth, looked in the direction of the courtyard door, and signaled that someone was coming, Hua Qingchen and Chi Xun nodded, and answered in silence. When I got to the original position, I lay down and didn't understand.

The sound of footsteps approached, and the courtyard door was pushed open with a "squeak". Tang Jingxu opened his eyes slightly to see that all women should have just returned from a bath. All of them had loose black hair and wore pale pink dresses. There is a bright peach blossom pinned on the head, and everyone has a solemn look on their faces.

They didn't look at Tang Jingxu and the others, but walked towards the bronze tripod, and then they all knelt down under the tripod, with their foreheads on the ground, and whispered reverently.

Not long after, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the buds on the peach branches were shining with a faint white light. Immediately, Tang Jingxu saw three souls flying out of Liu Yan and the others beside him, and they were actually sucked into the buds little by little. There were no traces in an instant, and at the same time, the buds bloomed little by little...

Seeing that Yingli's soul hadn't left his body, Tang Jingxu heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. He thought he should have cast a spell to restrain his three souls and seven souls in advance, so that he wouldn't be blinded by the food. He still had some sense.

Since those women didn't pay attention to them at all, Tang Jingxu and the others simply sat up and waited quietly for Shen Guining's arrival.

After the peach blossom was in full bloom, it immediately released a dazzling white light, and the rich fragrance of the flower spread. In the white light, a woman slowly appeared, her white toes lightly touching the flower, her pink dress fluttering in the wind, her veil Half-covered, she slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the person kneeling under the tripod, her eyes fell on Tang Jingxu, she chuckled, and her voice like a silver bell was particularly moving in the silence of the night: "Brother Jingxu, it's been a long time not see."

"Master, are you an acquaintance again?" Hua Qingchen rested his chin and looked at Tang Jingxu speechlessly.

Tang Jingxu nodded, looked at Shen Guining calmly, and said softly, "Well, fiancee."

"..." Hua Qingchen looked at Chi Xun in a daze, trying to see something.

Chi Xun raised his eyebrows, his expression closely resembled Tang Jingxu's, Hua Qingchen shuddered suddenly: "You shouldn't..."

Chi Xun grinned: "She did raise me."

Hearing this, Hua Qingchen became very ill in an instant. Looking at Tang Jingxu, he held back for a long time and said, "Master, what should I do about Liansheng?"

Tang Jingxu didn't respond to him, staring at Shen Guining, said in a deep voice, "Guining, do you know what you're doing?"

Shen Guining stepped on the head of the proprietress of the inn, and walked down from the cauldron. Everyone in Taohuaxi, including the proprietress, seemed to be unaware of it, and kept their eyes closed piously, humming an ancient tune in their mouths. The sound hit Tang Jingxu's eardrums, making his nasal cavity sore.

That's... the sacrificial tune of the royal family of Yin Kingdom.

Shen Guining followed suit with a soft snort, and suddenly laughed: "Tang Jingxu, did you come to see me making jokes? I traveled thousands of miles from such a sacred place in the heaven to this filthy place, look at me so dirty! ghost, eh?"

"Sorry, Gui Ning, I'm late..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Guining appeared in front of Tang Jingxu in a flash, and then a mahogany branch sank into his lower abdomen. Tang Jingxu coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he didn't push her away, but Holding her hand, he pulled out a bitter smile: "Guining, don't be afraid."

"Master!" Hua Qingchen wanted to step forward with a ball of fox fire in his hand, but he never thought that Chi Xun stood in front of him, and he slapped him without hesitation, "Get out of here!"

Chi Xun took his palm head-on, his face turned pale suddenly, he knelt down on one knee, and stood up with force: "Wait for a while, just for a while."

"Wait a fart!" Hua Qingchen roared, "There are three advantages and two disadvantages, Yin Liansheng must bite me to death!"

Seeing that Hua Qingchen was about to charge there again, Chi Xun had no choice but to grit his teeth and stop him.

"Afraid?" Shen Guining turned the hand holding the peach tree branch, and looked at Tang Jingxu with a sarcastic smile in his eyes, "I even ate the demon god, so am I still afraid?"
