Chapter 17 Lies
Heyumen Taoist priest's hands trembled uncontrollably. He picked up Yuan Xiu from the pool of blood and asked, "Huer, who did you meet?"
Yuan Xiu's eyes were silent as if he hadn't heard the master's question. At this moment, his brain was blank, and only Xiaohuan said when he left, 'If you don't provoke me, they won't die. You killed them, and your fellow brothers died because of you.'
This sentence is a spell that binds and tortures him. After Xiaohuan left, he wanted to end his life, but the sword weapon could not touch his body at all. He wanted to explode his cultivation, but his cultivation was imprisoned. He wanted to die, but he could not die. He not only panicked, but also despaired.
"Hugh... Don't be afraid..." Taoist priest held Yuan Xiu's cold body into his arms and couldn't say a word for a long time. He came late, but he was still late after all.
"Master..." Yuan Xiu raised his head blankly after feeling the warm body temperature of the Taoist priest and begged, "Master, please kill me... Please..."
"Hugh...don't be silly! Tell me who the teacher is?" Taoist priest didn't know who Yuanxiu met, so he thought Yuanxiu was afraid.
"Master... I can't die... I can't die..." Yuan Xiu thought that before Xiao Huan left, he forced him to eat a piece of black food. He suddenly realized that he might never be able to atone for his sins. Thinking about it, he cried regardless of the Taoist priest's question.
"Hugh, we are going to avenge your brothers. Can you tell me who the teacher is?"
"He said his name is Xiaohuan..." Yuanxiu only had a sense of security in front of the Taoist priest. He knew that he was guilty and regretted that he had provoked Xiaohuan, but now, he said nothing to help.
"Snake Demon..." The Taoist priest suddenly sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "It turned out to be the snake demon!"
Just as the people in Heyumen took the compass to look for Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan was resting in a hot spring water in the shape of a snake. The altitude here is high, surrounded by snow and inaccessibility, and the hot spring water is suitable for him to digest and absorb the essence of the Taoist priest.
With the infiltration of Jingyuan, the delicate and perfect snake scales in the water become more shiny. With the flow of water waves, a ring of purple-gold water patterns are revealed, like a dreamlike.
Xiaohuan's snake-shaped snake was coiled in the water, spitting a string of bubbles happily, and was about to adjust his position to sleep, but suddenly thought that he had not caught Lin Qian. It seemed that the idea of spending the winter in this hot spring without scruples could not be realized. The damn vegetable snake disturbed his winter.
The moment Xiaohuan poked out of the water and came out of the water, he turned into a human shape. He was very satisfied with his human shape. After all, such a handsome man is rare in the world.
He got up from the water and stepped out of the hot spring. He seemed to look at the huge hot spring pool with nostalgia and calculated whether to come back for the winter after eating Lin Qian. When the skin touched the cold air, ink scales appeared on his body, and in the blink of an eye, the ink coat was worn on his body. This was melted by his snake scales, which was safe and comfortable.
Xiaohuan walked on the ice and snow, but there was no trace where he walked. He didn't like snow. To be precise, he didn't like all cold things, so he didn't fall on the snow when he seemed to walk.
Lin Qian thinks she is safe in the capital, so she is sleeping peacefully in a warm house with charcoal fire, squinting her eyes and preparing to spend the winter like this. However, the prince pushed the door regardless of etiquette and hurried to Lin Qian's couch. He looked at Lin Qian, who was full of confusion and asked, "Are you the boss of Yuncheng Siyun Pavilion?"
Lin Qian listened to the prince's question, but did not hide his leisurely propped up and said for a moment, "It used to be. However, it was bought by the distant relatives of the local officials, and I had nowhere to go before I arrived at the Twin Cities. I met Sister Xiaowu in Shuangcheng, and you all know what happened later.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The truth of Siyun Pavilion's bloodshed has not been found out, and so many Taoist priests have died in the inn of the two cities. Although the capital is blocking the news, people have long been panicked.
"Is this... very important..." Lin Qian looked at the prince's poor face and bit his lips and said, "Your Highness, if you mind that I opened a brothel before, then I..."
"What I mind is that Siyun Pavilion was washed with blood! How much do you know?"
"I didn't know this... I heard the storyteller in the two cities... But..." Lin Qian saw that the prince was anxious, so he lowered his head and pretended to be pitiful: "I know he is a purple-gold ring snake. He is the king of our snakes. Although I have always grown up with human beings, I admire him very much in my heart. His cultivation Deep and powerful, almost invincible, is our protector...but..."
"But what?" Seeing that Lin Qian stopped talking again, the prince thought that maybe Lin Qian really had something to do with this matter, so he urged, "What happened after that?"
"One day... he suddenly said that he liked me and wanted me to go back to the snake world with him. I know that there are countless beauties around him, but I can't refuse. Although it's normal to have three wives and four concubines, I don't want to... I happened to meet someone who wanted to rob my business, so I bought a brothel and left Yuncheng, thinking that I would never see them again in the future..." Lin Qian made up randomly, but there were no loopholes.
"So that's it. Maybe... he went crazy because he didn't find you." The prince touched Lin Qian's head and said, "No wonder Shuangwu asked me to protect you. It's difficult for you. I shouldn't ask."
"If it's really because I hurt so many people... then I..." Lin Qian saw that the prince completely believed it, and then cried with pear blossoms and said, "Then I'd better leave the capital and marry him... At least I can't let him kill again... It's all my fault..."
"How can this be blamed on you? Even if it is to blame, it should be blamed on him indiscriminately, or those Taoist priests are incompetent. Don't think about it, just live here at ease." When the prince saw Lin Qian crying like this, he immediately softened. He thought that the double dance helped Lin Qian because he couldn't see it, and he decided to protect Lin Qian. What's more, Lin Qian just said that she did not want to be a concubine to the Snake King, and Yan Shuanglie had never thought about three wives and four concubines. This idea coincided, which made the prince's understanding of Lin Qian a little different.
After the prince left, Lin Qian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, yawned and rolled back into the quilt. He said to himself, "Damn ugly snake, if you hadn't killed the innocent indiscriminately, why would I have to say this! Worship you? In the next life!
Although the prince didn't ask anything more, he knew that Lin Qian must have lived in the inn of Shuangcheng, otherwise their snake king had no reason to do it there. In this way, I'm afraid he is about to find the capital. After all, the two cities are so close to the capital... However, with the guard of the national master, he can't get in a snake demon at all.
