Green scales

As soon as these words came out, the stagnant atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point, and Kong Qi looked at the three people present with a strange expression.

After Liu Shu finished speaking, the other three had different expressions.

Xia Xinglan smiled awkwardly, instead of answering directly, she quietly turned her head to look at Yuqin.Liu Shu lightly placed the saber on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea with a calm expression.

Yuqin still maintained the posture of looking out the window, with a relaxed expression as if she hadn't heard, but when Xia Xinglan looked over, she looked at him gently.

As the two looked at each other, Xia Xinglan's heart sank back, and she even felt a little embarrassed by her carelessness just now.

How could a person as gentle as jade like Yuqin hold grudges because of the past.

Liu Shu looked at Yuqin after drinking a cup of tea, Shi Shiran said: "Young Master Huaiyu, long time no see." The words were not polite, even if Yuqin didn't want to see him as well, she couldn't help it now turn around.

Seeing Yuqin's reaction, Liu Shu smiled on his delicate face, adding a bit of gentleness.The figures of the two are very similar, and even the tenderness around them overlaps somewhat.

Compared with Liu Shu's spring breeze, Yuqin has a touch of coldness, just like Hsinchu after the rain, orchids in the empty valley, which makes people want to get close, but at the same time gives birth to a kind of awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Before Yuqin could express anything, Xia Xinglan lowered her face first, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Shu, don't mention these four words again, Yuqin has nothing to do with it long ago."

Liu Shu groaned, and suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, yes, senior brother is right." Then Youyou raised his hand and saluted Yuqin, "I haven't seen you for many years, Mr. Yu still has the same demeanor, I can't help but think about it." When I first saw the young master's demeanor at that time, I said something wrong for a while, but I hope that young master Yu will not be offended."

Yuqin looked at Liu Shu coldly. He and Xia Xinglan had a lot of stumbling blocks at the beginning, but it was because Xia Xinglan coaxed him afterwards, and the relationship between the two was not strong at the beginning, so they didn't dare to confront each other rashly. It was Liu Shu's strike that made him jump until now.

"Daoist Yun Shu must have improved a lot in the way of swordsman in recent years." Yuqin said lightly, Liu Shu smiled when he heard the words, and when he was about to answer, Yuqin said again: "The Taoist priest just came. When I arrived, I actually felt that the sword intent around Daoist Priest seemed to be much sharper, I am afraid that in a few days, even Xinglan will not be able to compare with you."

Hearing this, Liu Shu's expression was normal, and he said with a smile: "Is that so? Monsters have been raging all these years, and my brother is not here. I have to work harder so that I can help my brothers and sisters."

Xia Xinglan interrupted the two of them, held Yuqin's hand tightly, motioned for comfort, and said, "Don't mention the old things, Liu Shu, what's the matter with Xiaofu?"

Hearing the words, Liu Shu slowly looked back at Yuqin, and said: "I also came here on purpose after Jianzong got the news, in order to kill that harmful monster. After all, monsters are cruel and human How can you get along with jackals? Mr. Yu, right?"

Xia Xinglan: "..."

Kong Qi: "..."

Ever since Liu Shu came in, Kong Qi felt that the relationship between the three of them seemed a little delicate. Now it seems that Liu Shu seemed to be born at odds with Yuqin, and his soft-spoken words actually made him so Outsiders seem to have a weird feeling.

"If you slaughter innocent monsters at will, you should be killed." Yuqin nodded.

"Then this means that there are still demons that don't harm people?" Kong Qi finally said something, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Just as people are divided into good and evil, demons should also have kind-hearted people. Most of them live in seclusion." Yuqin spoke slowly, her voice was clear and unhurried, just like a pool of clear water flowing into the heart.

Xia Xinglan saw that the topic was misleading again, so she had to try her best to save it.Then he said helplessly: "What kind of monster is it? Do you know?"

"That's right, Mr. Kong, because of the monster in the house, I lost a disciple of my sword sect. I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore?"

Kong Qi smiled, refilled the wine and pushed it in front of everyone, only Liu Shu took a sip. "It's... a long story."

Before the words were finished, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside the house, and the voice of the shop waiter came from afar, everyone was stunned, then the door was pushed open, and a heroic figure appeared in front of everyone.

The visitor was dressed in ocher red robes, with a handsome face and a height of eight feet. He seemed to be in a hurry, and he was still panting a little when he got to the door. Bright.

Kong Qi got up and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is here." Then he stepped forward to meet him and closed the door behind him.

The man turned his head to look at Kong Qi, Kong Qi nodded slightly, and said, "I just came here not long ago."

The man nodded when he heard the words, went to the table and raised his hands to salute the few people present before sitting down. Yuqin raised his eyes and saw that the governor's eyes were black and blue, and his face was covered with a very shallow layer Demon spirit.

Among the monster clan, if the monster spirit is so shallow, I'm afraid they can't even transform into form, let alone kill a Taoist priest.

Although Xiaofu is not very smart, but fortunately he works hard, and it is impossible to beat even a little monster.Then the demon who killed Xiaofu would definitely not be the demon next to the governor.

Yuqin just glanced at it and then turned his head. Liu Shu on the side just glanced at the moment the governor opened the door, and then kept staring at Xia Xinglan as if nothing, without hiding his gaze, It seems that I want to look back at all the past few years together.

Yuqin was not dissatisfied with this, for him, Liu Shu was nothing at all.

Three years ago, Liu Shu failed to keep Xia Xinglan, so he had no chance to make a comeback.Besides, Yuqin has always seen what Xia Xinglan has done these years, and he is not worried that Xia Xinglan will regret this trip.

Xia Xinglan stood up and saluted, and then the governor sat down, while Kong Qi stood behind him.

"My lord... about Xiaofu." Xia Xinglan said

The governor sighed when he heard the words, and said, "Call me Pei Yun directly. You must be the Taoist Xia Xinglan. I also regret the matter of Taoist Xiaofu. The monster is too strong. I underestimated the enemy and failed to arrange more." Daoist Master Xiaofu unfortunately died because of the manpower, he did it to save me and my wife..."

Xia Xinglan waved his hand, the old man is gone, and now indulging in grief will only increase his sentimentality, he must get rid of that monster as soon as possible before it makes another move, and avenge Xiaofu.

"Before Xiaofu left, I gave him the Eight-Treasure Golden Lotus, which is strong enough to withstand a blow from a monster less than a thousand years old. Afterwards, I checked the wound and found that the sharp object pierced his chest to death. I guess it was caused by a sneak attack. "Liu Shu spoke slowly, staring at Pei Yun without blinking.

Pei Yun smiled wryly, and said: "That's right, Taoist priest Xiaofu was killed by a monster. At that time, Taoist priest had arranged the altar a few days in advance, but the monster was so cunning that he didn't show up for a long time. Later, he secretly After I ambushed my wife, the Taoist priest gave me and my wife the eight-treasure golden lotus for self-defense."

"Have you ever seen what kind of monster that is?" Xia Xinglan asked.

Pei Yun nodded, shook his head again, and said: "I have never seen the whole picture of that monster, but when it appeared with strong wind and thick fog, I could only vaguely see a huge black shadow rolling in the fog. But Xiaofu The Daoist once confronted it head-on, stabbed the demon with a sword, and left this."

After Pei Yun finished his speech, he turned his head to look at Kong Qi. Kong Qi understood. He raised his hand and took out a palm-sized object from the lapel of his chest, wrapped it tightly with a cloth, and handed it to Pei Yun.

After Pei Yun took it, he put it on the table, and opened the cloth layer by layer. Everyone looked at the bag curiously.

Yuqin just glanced casually, unable to look away immediately.

After the cloth was uncovered, there was a blue scale on the table.

Green scales, green scales, green scales again!

Yuqin and Xia Xinglan froze at the same time, they looked at each other subconsciously, but they had different thoughts.

Liu Shu keenly sensed the changes between the two of them, glanced thoughtfully at the scales on the table, then stretched out his hand to grab them, and looked at them over and over again.

"What do you think, Daoist Yun Shu?" Pei Yun was a little nervous, and couldn't help but sit up straight.

Liu Shu looked at it for a moment, then looked up at Xia Xinglan and Yuqin, smiled, handed the scales to Xia Xinglan, and said, "Why don't you let senior brother see it first."

Xia Xinglan was noncommittal, raised his hand to take the scales, with a serious expression on his face, after looking at them for a long time, he let out a breath, and said slowly: "To tell the truth, I also met a monster yesterday, and when I was fighting with him, I accidentally picked up the scales from him. I cut off a piece of Qinglin, which is very similar to this scale."

Xia Xinglan took out the scales from last night in his pocket, and put the two green scales together.

"If my prediction is correct, these two scales should come from the same monster."

Liu Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then senior brother thinks, what kind of monster's scales are these?"

Xia Xinglan was silent for a long time, her thin lips parted and she said slowly, "Snake demon."

Liu Shu nodded with a smile, pushed the two green scales on the table in front of Pei Yun, and said: "It seems that there is a snake demon with a high level of morality in your lord's house. Look at the demonic aura on the scales. It's been hundreds of years. If it's been a thousand years, then this monster will be hard to catch."

Pei Yun looked solemn, turned his head and looked at Kong Qi again, both of them saw worry in each other's eyes.

After a while, Pei Yun's shoulders relaxed, and he let out a long sigh, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said, "Then, I will ask the two priests to help me."

Because of Xiaofu, Xia Xinglan would not refuse, but for some reason he didn't immediately agree, but subconsciously looked at Yuqin who had been silent for a long time.

Yuqin has experienced this kind of thing several times, and now that there are outsiders present, although she is very troubled in her heart, she will no longer lose her composure at this moment, but her heart still seems to be pressed by a huge rock.

Now it was certain that someone was going to frame him, and it was aimed at him and Xia Xinglan, or in other words, dealing with him was the main thing.

So who would it be?The piece of Qing Lin knew it was his without looking at it, but he would only give it out when he exchanged it with those little monsters in Yongshui City, ordinary people would not be able to get this scale.

What's more, there is still his spiritual breath left on the piece of Qinglin in the governor's mansion.Although judging from the dimness of the scales, the scales have been around for some time, but the spiritual power on them seems to have been preserved intentionally.

The little demon who took his scales left gratefully and took advantage of the great benefits. He would definitely want to quickly absorb and integrate the aura attached to the scales, so he wouldn't keep it there.

Then, it could only be that some demon snatched his scale from those little demons who got his scale, and deliberately threw this Qinglin out along the way to lure him into the game.

"Wait a minute!" Yuqin said suddenly, and the rest of the people were startled.
