The Demon Soul is Coming

Liu Sang and Xia Zhaowu were washed by the waves.

Fortunately, Ningyun City is close to the sea. Xia Zhaowu grew up by the sea, and Liu Sang is also proficient in the "Escape Sea Carp Swimming Technique" in the Dragon Snake Bashu. Not long after they jumped into the sea, they separated with ropes entangled to prevent being washed away by the sea, and then swam to the other side of the strait with difficulty.

In the past few days, they have been chased all the time, and there is no time to rest. Zhong Yanzhou is standing on the gorge. Although it is faintly visible, it is not as close as imagined. easy job.After finally climbing ashore, both of them were exhausted, lying on the grass full of mud, gasping for breath.

Liu Sang grabbed his sister-in-law's arm: "Let's go."

Xia Zhaowu said: "I, I can't move anymore..."

"At least leave the seaside." Liu Sang stood up staggeringly, passed her hands under her waist, wrapped her arms around her chest, and forcibly pulled her up.

The two took one step deeper and one step shallower, and slowly moved away from the beach, entering a river deep in the mountains, and then fell to the ground.

Xia Zhaowu said: "Brother-in-law, I, I can't move..."

Liu Sang said: "At least, you have to change your clothes. If you are sick at this time, it will be troublesome."

Xia Zhaowu said: "But I, I can't move..."

"Then, then I'll help you take it off!" Liu Sang took a breath and threw herself on her.

The beautiful girl turned around, kicked him away, and rolled twice: "Give...my clothes to me."

For convenience, all her clothes were put in Liu Sang's witch bag.

Liu Sang took out a set of clothes made of shark yarn and threw it to her.The beautiful girl swayed from side to side and climbed up, first went to the river to wash herself clean, then climbed onto the bank on hands and feet, took her clothes and went to the depths of the forest to change.Liu Sang thought to himself, didn't it mean that he had no strength?Then why bother?Just change it here... It's not like my brother-in-law hasn't seen it.

He also took off his clothes, climbed into the river, and washed himself in the cool water.

***

After the two of them changed into dry clothes, they didn't have the energy to catch wild animals to roast, so they directly took some dry food from the witch bag to fill their stomachs.I found a cave.Sprinkle sandalwood oil for repelling mosquitoes and insects, cuddled each other in the cave, and fell asleep.

I fell asleep in a daze, and it didn't feel like I slept for long.

The beautiful girl felt that someone was shaking her.Suddenly woke up: "Is there an enemy? Is there an enemy?"

Suddenly opened his eyes.Seeing her brother-in-law pulling her: "Get up. Practice."

The beautiful girl said: "Huh?" She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Liu Sang said: "The heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys form aspirations. The county seniors said that everything can be hurt. Only ambition must never be hurt. Our goal is to become a master within a month. How can we do it if we don't work hard?"

The beautiful girl said: "Oh." She followed her brother-in-law out of the hole, looked up, and asked in doubt: "Brother-in-law, have we slept all day? Why did the sun just start to set when we slept, and it's not completely dark yet? look like?"

Liu Sang said: "How could there be a whole day? We slept for an hour..."

The beautiful girl turned around and crawled into the cave using both hands and feet.

Liu Sang grabbed her by the collar, dragged her out, and said with a smile, "Practice."

***

The two of them were like this. They practiced in the deep mountains for three or four days. At the beginning, Xia Zhaowu felt that he couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well. He was abused by his brother-in-law all day long. Later, he got used to it , seems to have a little pleasure... Cough, people are also much more energetic.

Today, two feet apart, each set up a branch, Xia Zhao danced under the clothes and skirts, because Luan'er was away, Liu Sang didn't really get her hair in a bun, and she only combed simple things on her head Lily bun, but it also dances like a swallow, which is not cute.Liu Sang is dressed in strong clothes, with his hands behind his back.

Liu Sang said: "Start."

Xia Zhaowu raised his hands, and Xuan Qi surged up, and rolled over in an instant, turning flames and ice, five elements intertwined, attacking Liu Sang whirringly.

Liu Sang spun around and kept dodging.

For Xia Zhaowu, all she has to do is to keep attacking without damaging the branches and leaves.For mystical arts, the strength of the user often does not depend on the power of the technique itself, but on the subtlety of the operation of the mysterious energy, especially for the Five-Colored Spirit Witch and Five-Colored Star Orchid Butterfly Dance. This is especially true for change-based techniques.

However, Liu Sang had to jump on the branches to dodge, and survive the ever-changing attacks of his sister-in-law without falling to the ground. This is also not an easy task.You know, two zhang apart, such a distance is nothing to Mrs. Yue's sister-in-law's five elements of obedience and rebellion. Liu Sang is now majoring in martial arts. With such a distance, he is completely unable to fight back. He can only dodge continuously with his perception and reaction.

Xia Zhaowu's profound art kept blasting away, but seeing her brother-in-law scurrying on the opposite branch, thousands of butterfly dances did not even touch a piece of his clothes, she couldn't help secretly admiring him, thinking: "No wonder brother-in-law dares to brag about him" Invincible in the world at the same level', judging by his current skills, how does it look like he has just completed the basic skills?"

However, Liu Sang only defends but does not attack, after all, he is too passive, and Xia Zhaowu has an agreement not to touch the branches and leaves, but after all, he attacks but does not defend. After continuous practice, the technique becomes more subtle and slow. Slowly became handy, which made Liu Sang unable to cope.Even so, at critical moments, Liu Sang was always able to forcibly dodge with his strange movements that were obviously extremely slow, yet made people feel inexplicable, as if the entire space was torn apart by him.

Xia Zhaowu thought to himself, this is not the way to go, and suddenly he straightened up, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Liu Sangding was there, looking up at his sister-in-law who was flying into the air, a little puzzled, thinking in her heart, like this, how did she get back to that tree?Well, that's right, she still has the ability to fly to the sky, and if necessary, she can use the method of flying to the sky to summon a strong wind and blow her back... This, this is...

I saw the beautiful girl wave her hands in the air, and the blue meteor flew out.

Liu Sang squinted...Tianbao Lingyue?What is she going to do?

Although she was not prohibited from using Tianbao Lingyue, Liu Sang thought so.She couldn't use Tianbao Lingyue. After all, Tianbao Lingyue was too powerful. If she wanted to attack him without damaging the branches and leaves, her sister-in-law's current ability should not be able to do it.

Seeing the beautiful girl leap into the air, she summoned Tianbao Lingyue and attacked him.

Liu Sang thought, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although Tianbao Lingyue is powerful, it is not easy to control.In order not to touch the branches and leaves.Being a threat to him...was really hard.

Or impossible...absolutely impossible.

Seeing the blue orb getting bigger and getting closer, Liu Sang thought "no", she is...

Hurry up.There was a "boom" from behind.He looked back.Tianbao Lingyue smashed the whole tree into powder.

The air wave surged, and the flying dust engulfed him, and he crawled out of the dust.Coughing anxiously for a while, he shouted: "Hey, hey, it's not allowed to smash the tree. Are you murdering your husband?" He rushed towards his sister-in-law.

The beautiful girl turned around, turned around and landed on the branch, fled forward, and smiled grinningly: "You are brother-in-law, not your own husband. Also, we are in the rivers and lakes now. You have said it yourself, and no one knows." What will happen next, this is Jianghu... this is Jianghu, brother-in-law."

"Okay, no one knows what will happen next," Liu Sang chased wildly, "Then you will accept your fate."

"Hey, let's talk after you catch up..."

***

The two held hands and came to a city gate.

It was the first time for them to come to Zhongyanzhou, but Confucianism prevailed in Zhongyanzhou, and there was not much difference in customs from Yangzhou.And because Yanzhou in the middle is located between the continents, it is connected to Jijiu on the top, Yuzhou on the left, Hezhou on the right, and Yangzhou on the bottom. In addition, it is relatively peaceful and business travel is relatively smooth. People from all continents originally came here , they are not very conspicuous...they should be like this.

But as soon as they entered the city gate, a feeling of being watched came to Liu Sang's heart for no reason.

He quickly looked to the side, and the soldiers guarding the city met his gaze and quickly avoided it.

He felt something wrong in his heart, and dragged his sister-in-law to rush into the city.

Xia Zhaowu and her brother-in-law have been cooperating tacitly these days. Although she didn't know what happened, she knew that there must be something unusual, so she didn't ask much.

The two of them went to crowded places, blended into the crowd, then went into the alley, looked out, and saw a few soldiers chasing the crowd, looking around, looking for something.

It is the Zhou Dynasty that now establishes a state in Central Yanzhou, and the monarch's surname is Cheng. Counting the genealogy, he is originally a descendant of Ji Shuwu, the son of King Wen of Zhou.Compared with Xia Xiang, the founding king of Hezhou Baifeng Kingdom, who claims to be a descendant of Shaohao, the Jiang family of Daqi regards Jiang Taigong as his ancestor. His "blood of King Wen" is real, and there is a clear genealogy for textual research. His ancestor is the descendant of King Wu. My younger brother, called Ji Shuwu, after King Wu conquered the Shang Dynasty, he was enfeoffed in Chengdi, Yanzhou, and became the State of Cheng. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, it was destroyed by the State of Qi. Well, the family has been preserved, unlike after the Grand Duke Jiang, who exterminated the country and the family at the same time. Although the current Daqi Jiang family claims to be the Queen of the Grand Duke, its authenticity is extremely difficult to verify.

Central Yanzhou is the smallest continent among the eight continents, and the territory of Zhou State is far less than that of Qi State.Qi State called itself "Great Qi", while Zhou State was generally called "Little Zhou", although of course they would not call themselves that.It’s just that the lord of Daqi is already called “emperor”, while the lord of Zhou only dares to be called “king”, so he is naturally a step lower. It’s just that the lord of Zhou was originally a powerful minister who usurped the throne. He didn't dare to shamelessly exalt himself and proclaim himself emperor.

The soldiers of the Little Zhou Kingdom even wore different armor from Hezhou, and they wore two feathers on their heads, which they didn't know the meaning of.Seeing those soldiers looking around, looking for them, Liu Sang dragged his sister-in-law to the other side of the alley, mixed into the crowd again, and entered the city.

Xia Zhaowu whispered: "Brother-in-law, are they looking for us?"

Liu Sang said: "I'm afraid it is."

Xia Zhaowu said: "But how did they know we would come here? Brother-in-law, you didn't even enter a few towns along the way to prevent accidents."

"I didn't know we would come here," Liu Sang said solemnly, "I'm afraid that the government offices in the surrounding cities have received notices to arrest us. Those who track us have a lot of energy in Zhongyanzhou."

Xia Zhaowu said: "How could this happen?"

Liu Sang sighed: "I'm afraid, this is Yanzhou. It's their base camp."

Xia Zhaowu snorted coldly and said, "I thought Xiao Zhou was a good country, but it turned out to be collusion between officials and bandits."

Liu Sang said with a smile: "Of course they won't call themselves bandits, and they dare not blatantly hunt us down. Most of them are fabricating a false identity for us, labeling us as bandits, and then using the government to arrest us. Anyway, those The influence of people in Zhongyanzhou can infiltrate the government, which is really a headache."

Continue to smile wryly: "I don't know that what they sent to the government is only our age and appearance. For example, let the government pay special attention to relatively vague characteristics such as 'a pair of handsome men and women who are about [-] or [-] years old and from other places'. Or send us The faces of the people have been published, the former is inevitable, and the latter is also very likely, otherwise, we will not be noticed as soon as we enter the city."

Xia Zhaowu said: "What should we do? Since they have noticed us, there must be someone blocking the gate of the city. How do we get out of the city?"

Liu Sang said: "Let's see." He took his sister-in-law and continued to stroll.

The two took a turn on the street and watched the style of Xiao Zhou.Generally speaking, since Hezhou is in the midst of civil strife, and Xiaozhou Kingdom has not been established for a long time, the two sides are quite different at this moment.

There are also many differences in the eating habits of the two sides, coupled with the influence of Confucianism, there are more rules here than in Hezhou.

Because they have already been noticed, they naturally dare not appear in too conspicuous places, let alone go to inns and other places that are easy to be inspected by others.When they arrived at a lively teahouse, they separated first, inquired about some news each, and then found a vacant seat in a corner that was difficult for others to observe, and ordered some cakes and tea.

Xia Zhaowu said: "Brother-in-law, what did you find out?"

Liu Sang said: "In Central Yanzhou, there are many Confucian factions, and they fight openly and secretly with each other. For a while, it is difficult to figure out which faction the people chasing us belong to. However, although there are many Confucian factions here, the most powerful ones are three. They are Tiance Museum, Siyue Collection, and Ping An Academy. These three schools have different opinions. Tiance Museum uses Confucianism as a shell, but uses theology to explain Confucian scriptures. , Tianxin, and Tianyi advocate things such as the interaction between heaven and man, and the divine right of the monarch. Siyue Ji is Confucianism and martial arts. In their description, Confucius is the number one expert in the pre-Qin period. Because he actively promoted the enthronement of Zen by the King of Zhou, and found out various Confucian scriptures for argumentation, he was reused by the King of Zhou, and he was named "jijiu" in the court. The old man who served in the court and hunted us down is very likely to be him, regardless of age or strength."

Continued: "Tiance Hall and Siyueji are inextricably linked with the officials of the Little Zhou Dynasty. No matter which one of them is borrowing the power of the government, it is not surprising. Ping An Academy is located in Zhongyanzhou Although he is well-known, he is a revivalist who studied the classics of the first generation. He studied the remaining Confucian scriptures one by one. He believed that the old master Confucius "hidden great righteousness in his small words". The way of a monarch and his ministers is to always carefully advise and secretly criticize, which is definitely not liked by the King of Zhou, but there are mostly famous old scholars in the academy, and it is not easy for the King of Zhou to deal with them directly... Hey, are you listening?"

Looking at his drowsy sister-in-law, he was a little speechless.

The beautiful girl said: "This, this... In short, our enemy is most likely to be such and such a museum, such and such an episode that day, isn't it? As for people's feelings and small words and righteousness that day, who has time to care about them?"

Liu Sang sighed... Sure enough, she was not interested in Confucian things at all.

So he asked, "Then what did you find out?"

The beautiful girl regained her spirits all of a sudden: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, do you know what kind of bun is called the kind of bun that many women in the street wear with their temples hugging their face and the head like a vertebra? It is also called phoenix head, which has become popular recently. Also, you can see that their wide belts are actually two-layered. People here are very particular about their clothes, but on such a hot day, they wear the traditional "three-layer clothes" ’, it was so hot, so they only put on a piece of clothing on top of their heart clothes, and wrapped a narrow belt around the wide belt, and then tied the waist belt. Better colors and more…”

Liu Sang propped her face with her left hand and tapped her fingers on the table... The focus of men and women is indeed different.

The two finished their pastries and walked down the street.Liu Sang smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I still haven't found a way to get out of the city. I just checked and saw that there are more soldiers near the city gate. If you go out of the city, you will definitely be interrogated and even arrested with excuses. But If you don’t leave the city, when the city gate closes at night, those people will almost rush over, and they can even catch the turtle in their urn and search from house to house.”

The beautiful girl rolled her eyes: "Brother-in-law, I have a way."

Liu Sang said: "What way?"

The beautiful girl said: "I think, just by looking at our attire, we are obviously different from the people in Zhongyanzhou. Naturally, it is easy to be noticed, so we have to change into the clothes that people here often wear... "

Liu Sang said: "This is inevitable, but they must also think of this. Just changing clothes can't change anything."

"That's right," said the beautiful girl, "so we have to 'replace', I guess, the announcements from their cities and counties are tight, and it is impossible for everyone to recognize us, so the biggest possibility is to emphasize , pay attention to the two young men of 'one man and one woman', so we become two men, or..."

Liu Sang laughed and said, "You want to disguise yourself as a man again?" He looked at her youthful and plump breasts under her tube top: "No matter how you disguise yourself as a man, this alone can't hide it?"

The beautiful girl covered her chest, and looked aside with a blushing face: "Isn't it good to have big breasts?"

Liu Sang leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Very good."
