The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 384 After the Yellow Bird

After a smile, the face that appeared in the night sky disappeared again.

This face appeared very suddenly and disappeared very quickly. From appearance to disappearance, it didn't even take the blink of an eye, and Lu Qian didn't even have time to take a closer look.

Why does his face appear in the sky?

If it were in the past, Lu Qian might be confused.

But at this moment, he immediately thought of someone.

Best wishes to Jiazhuang and best wishes to Shiheng!

In addition to the sect and the imperial court, could it be said that there is a third group of forces coming here?

After Lu Qian thought about it for a moment, he immediately ordered Tang Dongqing: "Go and keep an eye on Wang Xuan quietly. If he enters the Five Color Mountains, come back and join me immediately; if he just sends Wang Ziyi in but does not go in himself, you Keep an eye on His whereabouts and report to me at any time.”

"Yes, Master."

Tang Dongqing responded and immediately flew towards the Five Color Mountain in the north like a gust of wind.

Lu Qian took Wang Yuanzhang and flew south.

Shao Qing and Lu Qian were still on the road when they heard Tang Dongqing use his mental power to send a message to him: "Both of them are gone. They must have gone in."

Lu Qian said: "Okay, come back."

"Yes, Master."

In fact, after seeing Wang Xuan's methods, Lu Qian no longer worried about him.

Even He Bingnian, who is known as the number one master in Dali, cannot possibly do anything to him. Asking Tang Dongqing to take a look was just a precaution.

Not long after, Lu Qian returned to the cabin with Wang Yuanzhang, as well as Ao Lanxi and Du Guoguo who had arrived halfway.

The cabin was empty except for the body of a sheep lying on the ground.

Other than that, nothing else changed from when he left.

Lu Qian looked around the room, and finally walked to the sheep's body, squatted down, grabbed the sheep's horns, and opened the dead sheep.

On the floor, where the sheep corpse originally lay, a line of beautiful handwriting appeared:

"Brother Xiao Lu, go back to the inn and wait for me."

At first glance, it was Wang Zirong's handwriting.

Lu Qian erased the writing with his foot, stood up, and glanced at Du Guoguo.

Du Guoguo was very ashamed when he saw it. Lu Qian asked her to check the house carefully before, but she didn't find that the sheep's body had been touched.

At this time, Tang Dongqing's voice suddenly came to Lu Qian's mind: "Master, there seems to be something going on here."

Lu Qian asked: "What's going on?"

Before Lu Qian could ask, Tang Dongqing continued: "There are a large group of zombies heading south. The strange thing is that these people look like they have just died, and the color of the corpses has not changed much. Why have they transformed into corpses?" What? They are all covered in armor, like the standard of the imperial army..."

Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "The imperial army was actually destroyed? Where is He Bingnian?"

"There is such a big commotion, why is there no sound?"

"No, Gan Zhan suddenly moved quickly before, which may be related to this. It's a pity that he didn't even send a word before he died."

"Who has the power to quietly annihilate such an imperial army?"

"Since they just died, how could they transform into corpses so quickly?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Qian thought of the face that suddenly appeared in the sky when he left Five Color Mountain.

Apparently, he wasn't hallucinating.

The imperial court has been lurking in the background, preparing to ambush the sect's people.

However, no one expected that in this operation to capture the mountain god, the sect was the first to "catch the cicada", and his teeth were broken by the "cicada" first; but before the imperial court could take action, his own teeth were broken. Was ambushed first.

This thing is really getting more and more interesting.

Lu Qian immediately sent a message to Tang Dongqing: "Come back immediately and don't meddle in other people's business."

After transmitting the message to Tang Dongqing, Lu Qian said to Wang Yuanzhang and the others: "Let's go too."

After that, Lu Qian took the lead and walked out of the house.

Just as he reached the door of the house, Lu Qian suddenly stopped. Du Guoguo, who was following closely behind him, bumped into his back unexpectedly and let out an "ouch" sound.

Lu Qian looked up at the dark earth wall outside the door.

Several breaths of time passed, and Tang Dongqing didn't respond to him?

A few more breaths passed before Tang Dongqing replied: "Master, I am already on my way to find you."

Then, Lu Qian sensed that Tang Dongqing was moving towards him quickly.

Lu Qian paused for a moment, then asked, "You don't have a tail following you, do you?"

Tang Dongqing said: "No, I didn't see anyone else here."

Lu Qian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you have it, I have already arranged the Shentu Yu barrier."

Tang Dongqing was stunned and said: "Shen Tu Yu Lei?"

Not long after Tang Dongqing returned to Lu Qian, he had little understanding of Lu Qian's paper spirit methods, let alone Shen Tu Yu Lei.

Lu Qian said: "You don't have to worry about it, just come back."

Tang Dongqing said: "Yes, Master."

Lu Qian put his feet on the ground and jumped up. He could jump out of the trench more than ten feet high with a single jump.

However, when he was about to jump to the edge of the trench, his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

Almost at the same time, Du Guoguo's exclamation came from below.

Lu Qian looked down and saw a hand grasping his ankle tightly.

This hand was not big, like a woman's hand. On the back of the pale hand, there were blue and black blood vessels bulging out.

The strange thing is that these blood vessels are much thicker than ordinary blood vessels, and it is vaguely visible that black blood is flowing inside.

Behind the hands, there are naturally arms.

The arms were the same color as the backs of the hands, and also had bulging blue-black blood vessels.

The arms were very long, and the end extended to the dark earth wall and was submerged in it.

At this time, there were countless hands, large and small, on the wall, coming out of it and clawing at Lu Qian who was in the air and Du Guoguo who was standing at the door of the wooden house.

There are so many densely packed arms.

Following Du Guoguo was Ao Lanxi.

She pushed Du Guoguo away and scolded: "There are too many ghosts on the grassland. What's there to be surprised about? What are you yelling about?"

With that said, Ao Lanxi stepped out of the door and slashed the void at Lu Qian's feet with his left hand. With a "click", the arm holding Lu Qian was cut off by an invisible air knife.

At the same time, she pressed her right hand forward, and an invisible transparent "mirror" immediately appeared in front of her, pressing up against the earthen wall.

The arms that stretched out from the earth wall were squeezed by this invisible "mirror" and all retracted; those that had no time to retract were also squeezed hard against the earth wall.

Wang Yuanzhang followed out, grabbed Du Guoguo, and flew her out of the ditch, floating above the ground.

Lu Qian had already jumped to the ground and mounted the white tiger.

As soon as Ao Lanxi came out of the trench, Lu Qian immediately threw three divine fire flying crows into the trench.

One of the divine fire flying crows landed directly on the cabin and immediately set the house on fire.

In the trench, flames rose, accompanied by the sound of ghosts crying.

Under the feet, under the green grass, there was a surge, as if something was surging beneath the ground, stirring up the grass above.

Lu Qian glanced at it, ignored these strange movements, and flew directly to the southwest with the white tiger.

As Ao Lanxi said, it is not surprising that there are many ghosts on the grassland.

Lu Qian didn't bother to completely wipe them out one by one.

At this moment, it is not appropriate to stay outside for a long time.

……

More than an hour later, a building appeared under the dark night sky.

It is Linglong Inn.

At the entrance of the inn, a red lantern hung on the sign, and a little light appeared in some rooms inside.

Lu Qian came to Linglong Inn, stopped in the air, then reached out and pulled a bag from his body, untied it, turned the bag upside down, held it up, and swung it forward.

Countless little paper figures flew out of the pocket, and they were none other than the Faceless Boy.

After these faceless children appeared, they immediately scattered in all directions. They held hands and surrounded the entire inn.

After doing this, Lu Qian landed from the sky, put away the white tiger, and walked into the inn.

Entering the open gate of the inn, a courtyard extends to the right and the shop to the left.

Lu Qian walked directly to the store, opened the door, and let them go in first.

Then, Lu Qian took out two Shentu Yulei and stuck them on the door, then entered the house and closed the door.

In the huge shop, there were not many lights and it was a bit dim.

The store was empty, with no customers at all. There was only a young kid sitting in front of the counter in a daze.

When he saw someone coming in, he immediately got up and walked to the door. When he saw Lu Qian, he said happily: "Shopkeeper Lu is back."

This ghost is none other than Lin Cheng, the waiter at Linglong Inn.

Lu Qian walked inside and asked, "Isn't Linglong back yet?"

Lin Cheng said: "No. There are no customers in the store now."

Lu Qian nodded. Of course there are no more customers in the store, and the "customers" have all gone to Wuse Mountain.

With the pace of those people from the sect, they would not be able to reach here in a moment.

Lu Qian found a table under the hanging lamp and sat down, saying, "Xiao Lin, I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat."

Xiao Lin said: "Okay, what would you like to eat, shopkeeper?"

Lu Qian said: "It's midnight, let's make it simple and roast a deer leg."

"to make."

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he looked up at Wang Yuanzhang and the four people behind Lu Qian.

When Lu Qian left, he took six ghosts with him.

When I came back this time, there were four more.

Moreover, each of these four similar people brought a great sense of oppression to Xiao Lin.

However, one good thing about Xiao Lin is that he never talks too much.

He looked at Wang Yuanzhang and the others, grinned, and said, "Four of you, what do you want?"

Ghosts don't need to eat, but that doesn't mean they don't eat.

Moreover, each ghost has different hobbies, and serving them cannot be based on common sense like you would with humans.

Xiao Lin has been working as a waiter at Linglong Inn for many years and has received countless ghosts, so he naturally knows this.

Moreover, Xiao Lin suddenly discovered that two of the four faces looked familiar. He had received them in the inn before.

Tang Dongqing said: "Wine."

Ao Lan ridiculed: "Human blood."

After speaking, she glanced at Lu Qian subconsciously and said, "It's best to have the blood of a young and handsome boy."

As she spoke, she licked her tongue at the back of Lu Qian's head.

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Lan Xi, we haven't seen a young and handsome young man in our store for a long time..."

Ao Lanxi glared at Xiao Lin and said, "Then let's make do with other blood."

"Hey, good."

Wang Yuanzhang also said: "Bring some good wine."

Xiao Lin nodded, there is no shortage of good hotels.

Finally, he looked at Du Guoguo.

Du Guoguo said: "I want sweet-scented osmanthus cake, water chestnut cake, fried pea yellow with sugar, candied green plums, two-color jellybeans... Well... that's enough. Oh, if you have some fruit wine, you can also have some, any fruit wine will do, of course. ...It would be better to have kiwi wine..."

Xiao Lin was dumbfounded when he heard Du Guoguo spit out a series of pastry preserves.

He looked at Du Guoguo blankly, opened his mouth and said, "Gu..."

Lu Qian suddenly interrupted him, stretched out his hand, pointed first at Ao Lanxi, then at Du Guoguo, and said: "She doesn't drink human blood, and she doesn't eat cakes and preserves. Just two jars of wine. Remember me." On account."

After saying that, Lu Qian turned around and glared at Du Guoguo, saying, "This, that, do you think this is your Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Du Guoguo lowered his head and pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry.

Lu Qian had no intention of coaxing her at this time, and said to Xiao Lin: "Besides, they will be just like you in the future, they are all shop assistants, so you don't have to be so polite."

When Xiao Lin heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. He glanced at Ao Lanxi, stuck out his tongue, and said, "How can you..."

Lu Qian waved his hand at him and said, "Go quickly, I'm starving to death."

Over the past two days, he had barely eaten anything.

He was not willing to eat anything from the ghost market.

After Xiao Lin left, Xiaoyu walked in from the back hall not long after.

After entering the shop, she said hello to Lu Qian first, went to the wine cabinet to get two jars of wine, one large and one small. She came to Lu Qian's table, put the wine down, and then went to get five coarse porcelain bowls. .

Xiaoyu first took a small wine jar and poured a bowl for Lu Qian; then she picked up another large jar and smiled at Tang Dongqing and the others: "This is the best ghost wine in our store. Please give it a try."

As she spoke, she cleared the sealing mud off the wine jar, placed the other four bowls, and poured a bowl into each bowl.

Tang Dongqing took a sniff and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, I come to your Linglong Inn quite often. Why have I never seen such good wine?"

Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said, "Our shopkeeper Lu is treating us, so of course it's different."

Upon hearing this, Tang Dongqing turned to look at Lu Qian, clasped his hands in fists and said, "Thank you, master."

Hearing Tang Dongqing spit out the word "master" to Lu Qian, Xiaoyu was startled, and even the hand pouring the wine trembled.

She didn't recognize the other people, but Tang Dongqing and Ao Lanxi could be considered regular guests of their Linglong Inn.

Xiaoyu is still very clear about the identity and status of these two people.

Xiaoyu finished pouring the wine, put the wine jar down, and then secretly glanced at Lu Qian.

Her new shopkeeper was becoming more and more difficult for her to understand.

Lu Qian waved his hand and told them all to sit down.

Tang Dongqing cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you, Master."

When Du Guoguo saw this, he also said, "Thank you so much, Lord... Sir."

"Thank you sir."

"Thank you sir."

Hearing three "husband-in-laws" in a row, Xiaoyu's eyes widened suddenly and she looked at Lu Qian in surprise.

Lu Qian said: "Xiaoyu, you go down and have a rest. I estimate that in a few hours, a large number of customers will come to the store."

"Oh...yes, shopkeeper."

After Xiaoyu left, Lu Qian picked up the coarse porcelain bowl, raised the cup, and said, "Here, I'll offer a bowl to the four ladies."

Seeing this, the four people quickly picked up their wine glasses and drank them in one gulp.

Tang Dongqing looked at Lu Qian, smiled "hehe" and said, "It seems that I am the husband... Well, this wine is really good..."

Du Guoguo nodded and said, "This is my first time to drink such good wine."

Ao Lanxi looked at Tang Dongqing, then at Lu Qian, and suddenly raised his eyebrows at Lu Qian, with a look that was half a smile but not a smile.

The expression seemed to be saying: "My husband, do you still like this tune?"

Lu Qian ignored Ao Lan's sarcastic gaze, but picked up the empty bowl and paused gently on the table.

Seeing Lu Qian's actions, the four people looked at him in confusion.

Lu Qian's eyes swept over the faces of the four of them one by one.

have to.

Du Guoguo was the daughter of the prime minister during her lifetime.

Wang Yuanzhang was the daughter of an earthly immortal during her lifetime.

Ao Lanxi was the daughter of the Ao family, the first aristocratic family of the year.

This Ao family is by no means comparable to the so-called four major aristocratic families today. Although it later declined, there were also earthly immortals in the past.

Each of these three is more powerful than the last.

We haven't had time to ask about Tang Dongqing's life experience, but it seems that he was probably not a commoner or poor person during his lifetime.

None of these people are masters who can serve others.

Seeing this, Lu Qian had no choice but to pick up the wine jar and get up to pour wine.

When Du Guoguo saw this, he blinked and turned to look at Wang Yuanzhang and Ao Lanxi.

Ao Lan glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? Pour the wine. Do you still want your husband to serve us?"

Although she said this, she was sitting on the chair, her butt seemed to be glued to it, and she had no intention of getting up.

Du Guoguo said "Oh" and immediately stood up awkwardly, about to take the wine jar from Lu Qian's hand.

Lu Qian did not give her a wine jar. After pouring wine for the four of them, he sat down, raised his bowl, and said to Tang Dongqing, "Okay, then I, my wife, will honor you, my husband."

Du Guoguo looked around quietly, picked up the bowl in a panic, and said: "Ms. sir, I... will give you a bowl..."

Ao Lanxi glared at her again and said: "What kind of bowl are you going to accompany? You have to accompany me every night from now on. My husband is toasting, what's the matter with you? Sit down."

Du Guoguo stood half-crouched, lowered her head, and raised her eyelids to look at Lu Qian, but when she saw that Lu Qian didn't even look at her, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and sat down again. She looked aggrieved and seemed about to cry, looking like she wanted to cry but didn't dare.

Tang Dongqing was flattered when he saw Lu Qian toasting to him alone. He immediately picked up the bowl and stood up, saying: "Dongqing...respect the master."

Lu Qian leaned back on the chair, and the arm holding the bowl was slightly bent and not stretched far. Tang Dongqing had no choice but to bend down and lean over the table to clink glasses with Lu Qian.

Just when the two wine bowls were about to collide, Lu Qian's fingers suddenly loosened and the wine bowl in his hand fell.

Lu Qian released his fingers, and instantly grabbed Tang Dongqing's wrist with his thumb, index and middle fingers, and pulled suddenly.

Tang Dongqing loosened his grip and the bowl in his hand also fell.

With two sounds of snap and snap, the two wine bowls fell on the table one after another, and the clear wine in the bowls splashed out.

Tang Dongqing, however, had turned into a piece of paper and was held in Lu Qian's hand.
