Chapter 14 Jade Gossip
Why did this Taoist know the top secret thing about being attacked by a snake demon?
With full of surprise, Zhou Chongxiao looked at the Youfang Taoist called "Jiu Deng" again.
He still has a light face, with fine wrinkles on the corners of his slightly squinted eyes, but the skin on his face and even his hands is quite smooth, just like an ordinary man in his twenties. However, what was hidden in his eyes was so deep that Zhou Chongxiao lost his consciousness after looking into his eyes.
"Whether what Master Zhou said is true or not." With a slight smile, the Jiudeng Taoist moved his face away by himself, and finally woke Zhou Chongxiao up.
Around her, Mrs. Zhou, Li Hanyu and even a servant in the family were nervously waiting for the answer.
"Yes." A simple word brought Zhou Chongxiao's thoughts back to the night of life and death.
The snake demon's tail has unparalleled power. Although he has fallen to the ground, he can still clearly feel that the power is pressed down on him and almost breaks every bone on his body.
Hearing Zhou Chongxiao admit it in person, Mrs. Zhou took a breath of cold air and looked at her son with an indifferent look. Tears began to turn in her eyes: "Son! Your fate is really hard. Why did you just go out, unexpectedly..."
"Cousin, aren't you hurt?" Li Hanyu was also scared and asked in a trembling voice.
Injured?
Zhou Chongxiao recalled the experience: he was first scratched on his neck with a sword by Xia Yongshang, then inhaled snake poison, and was created by the power of the snake demon. But there was not a single wound left on my body, and I even felt that my body was more relaxed and happy than at any time in the past. Why is this?
He began to think hard, as if the answer was in front of him, but he couldn't catch it.
"What the poor said, one of the two thousand-year-old forces entangled around the prince is the power of this snake demon." Jiu stepped down and glanced at Zhou Chongxiao and continued, "Since the prince can stand here with his whole body, do you think that the thousand-year-old snake demon is dead?"
His sudden speech interrupted Zhou Chongxiao's thoughts.
For this question, Zhou Chongxiao nodded. Although he was drowsy because of inhaling snake poison at that time, it was absolutely clear that if the snake demon had not been killed by Xia Yongshang, his party could not escape at all.
"That's not right." Jiudeng Taoist touched his chin and quickly calculated. After a long time, he said in a more doubtful tone, "Son Zhou, you still have a chance with the snake demon. It is reasonable that the snake demon should be fine. But you say it's dead, and the number of days says it's a dying elephant, and it's very dangerous. If you are dead, how can you give birth? It's really amazing! What a strange! I have never met such a strange fate in my life.
Zhou Chongxiao doesn't want to meet the thousand-year-old snake demon again at all. He can't wait for it to die.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou." Jiudeng suddenly turned around and asked, "Although you are surrounded by demonic spirit, your poor Taoist look is not like a nightmare. On the contrary, your mind is clearer, and there is even a pure Taoist true spirit in your body protecting you and infiltrating your eight strange meridians. Dare to ask the prince if he has any strange treasures on him.
"The Taoist priest is profound and has extraordinary eyesight." Mrs. Zhou pressed her heart and said slowly, "Before the dog was born, a Taoist priest came to show his body, leaving a jade card for the dog, and told him not to leave him."
When Jiudeng heard the words, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Such a strange treasure, I don't know if my wife and the prince can take advantage of poverty?"
"This..." Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Chongxiao looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After all, the Taoist man was told not to leave the jade card. How could he borrow it from others?
"Madam, son, don't be embarrassed. You just need to let the prince show the jade card outside his clothes and let the poor road see it from afar.
Since the Taoist said so, Zhou Chongxiao reached out and slowly pulled out the gossip jade card hidden in his clothes.
This is a very ordinary green jade. I don't know what paint is used to draw a Fuxi gossip picture on it. In the shaking of the jade card, the gossip lines seem to flow with soft brilliance.
Jiudeng Taoist opened his eyes wide and moved his mouth. In the end, he did not make any sound, but stared at the jade card.
How about it? Is this jade card my son's protective treasure? Mrs. Zhou stood up and anxiously wanted to know the answer.
Jiudeng Taoist took a deep breath, looked away from the jade card, and his face returned to a light appearance, and then said heavily: "This gossip jade card is closely related to the life of the prince, sharing honor and disgrace. Life and death. The jade card of the prince is not only unable to leave, but also unable to suffer any harm, otherwise the prince's life will be in danger.
Mrs. Zhou fell on the chair and said in disbelief, "How come?"
"However, madam, you don't have to worry too much. This jade card contains a strong and pure Taoist true spirit, which will protect the prince when necessary. I believe that this time the prince can come back safe and sound under the conditions of the demons, which is also because this jade card protects the prince.
The answer finally came out. Zhou Chongxiao suddenly realized. He was still a little unconscious in a coma, and he felt a warm force in his chest. It was from this jade card. And it was this force that warmed his whole body and healed his injury.
"I already know what the poor want to know." The Jiudeng Taoist pulled out the dust on his back and said, "Now, the poor Taoist has gone to collect the little fish demon in the house." With that, he strode to Xiyuan.
In Xiyuan, the flowers are like brocade and the waves are shining. In the clear water flowing fish pond, there are a few thin new lotus leaves. Under the lotus leaves, the silly koi are swaying leisurely and swimming around, shuttling between the rockery and the water and grass.
It was at this calm and peaceful time that the water near the pavilion suddenly splashed, and then a little girl suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed to the pavilion.
Unexpectedly, she jumped not high enough, and her toes just hooked on the railing. She couldn't control herself. She fell to the ground and lay on the wooden floor of the pavilion in a "big" shape.
"It hurts!" She got up with difficulty and knelt down, covered her face with one hand, touched the foot that hit the railing with the other, and cried.
When Jiudeng Taoist rushed to Xiyuan, he saw such a scene.
In the pavilion in the garden, a little girl in tender yellow clothes sat and cried obliquely at her, and her slightly golden black hair hung straight to the ground, completely blocking the girl's face, and even most of her body was covered.
And in the position of the ear, because the hair is slightly separated along the ear, it can be clearly seen that what appears in this position of the ear is a pair of golden fin-shaped objects.
"Bold and evil!" Jiudeng Taoist shouted loudly, pinched the formula with two fingers, and waited intently.
