Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 124
In the morning breeze, a three-foot-high bamboo pole raised a large vermilion banner, with the words "Wangxianlou" written on it.

In the back hall, shopkeeper Xiao was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, resting his mind, comfortably playing with two crystal clear red jade beads with one hand.

"The shopkeeper! It's not good! The big thing is not good!" There was a hasty cry from outside the door.

Following the sound of footsteps rushing in, the waiter rushed into the back hall in a hurry...

Shopkeeper Xiao raised his eyebrows, suppressed his anger and asked, "What? Someone got stolen again?"

The waiter panted heavily, and said, "No, but...it might be more serious."

Shopkeeper Xiao's contented expression suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at the waiter, who was sweating profusely and his lips were pale.He obviously only went to the bamboo forest twenty steps away, but it looked like he had just climbed a few mountains.

Seeing that he seemed to have something urgent to announce, Shopkeeper Xiao asked urgently:

"Don't be secretive! If you have something to say, speak up!"

The waiter kept wiping his sweat, and gasped, "Yesterday... last night, that drunkard broke the ecstasy formation, and the whole purple bamboo forest was destroyed!"

Shopkeeper Xiao turned the red jade bead and stopped slowly with one hand...

"Where's the dragon-bearded tiger guarding the forest?"

"It was... taken back by him."

Shopkeeper Xiao opened his mouth wide in shock, as if someone had stuffed a rotten persimmon, and suddenly a red jade bead fell to the ground in his hand.

"Although the dragon beard and tiger lost a few strands of soul, after all, it is the Nine Ugly Star Lord who was sanctified in the flesh. How could he be easily recovered? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Seeing it with my own eyes is absolutely true!"

The morning breeze was cool, but shopkeeper Xiao had already started to sweat, and beads of sweat dripped down his pale face one by one.There are at most twenty people in the world who can break through the ecstasy formation, and there will never be more than five people in the world who can subdue a dragon with a beard and a tiger.

Shopkeeper Xiao never expected that the alcoholic young man he met yesterday would be one of them.

Wiping off the cold sweat from his head, shopkeeper Xiao had an expression of survival, and muttered in a low voice: "...Fortunately, I didn't make a move yesterday."

The shop waiter picked up the two red jade beads that had fallen on the ground, handed them to shopkeeper Xiao, and said in a tone of survival after a catastrophe, "This kind of expert can never afford to offend..."

The two were still in shock, when they suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes stopping outside Wangxian Tower.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes coming so urgently, the waiter got up and took a look, only to see two horses galloping from afar.

The two horses were all white, with no trace of variegation visible from head to tail, and shone brightly in the light of the stars.A horse came to the door and suddenly raised its hair and let out a long neigh.

The neighing of the horse stopped suddenly, and one of them reined in and reined in the horse, and said with a loud smile: "Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"

With a burst of laughter, an old man with yellow hair in Taoist uniform jumped off the saddle.

Shopkeeper Xiao looked up at the yellow-haired old man, and sighed, "Thanks to Brother Huangmei, Xiao is still alive."

In the voice, shopkeeper Xiao turned his gaze to the other horse, and saw an old scribe with a pale face sitting immediately, wearing a green cloth pattern brocade official robe, he seemed to be over half a century old.Riding a horse at such an age, instead of sitting in a sedan chair, it can be seen that he is very strong.

The waiter looked at the old scribe, and couldn't help feeling familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

The old scribe leaned over and got off his horse, came to the gate of Wangxian Tower with his hands behind his back, and stopped slowly.

Shopkeeper Xiao looked at the official robe on his body and asked, "This lord is..."

Taoist Huangmei introduced: "Grand Master of the Great Zhou, Xibo Jifu."

Shopkeeper Xiao was slightly taken aback, and hastily bowed his hands to salute: "It turns out that the grand master arrived, and I was far away to welcome him."

"There's no need to be too polite." Xibo Jifu Shi Shiran came over, his old eyes shining with wisdom, "I'm here today, just for one person."

Shopkeeper Xiao frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Now the shop doesn't even have a single customer. I don't know who the Grand Master is looking for?"

Xibo Jifu replied: "The master of Xuanling Pavilion, one of the 25 elders of Jiejiao, is called Su Ji."

Shopkeeper Xiao thought for a moment, then murmured: "The shop hasn't opened for two months. A drunkard came yesterday, but he said he has no family or school..."

Taoist Huangmei looked at Xibo Jifu excitedly, and said with a relieved smile, "It should be this person!"

Xibo Jifu said: "The old man was ordered by the Emperor of Zhou to invite the master of the Xuanling Pavilion to enter the palace to heal the stubborn illness of the princess."

The waiter in the shop was startled suddenly, and muttered next to shopkeeper Xiao's ear: "That drunkard is really amazing, even the princess of Zhou Tianzi wants to seek medical treatment from him!"

Shopkeeper Xiao's expression also changed, and he said quickly: "I didn't expect so many distinguished guests to come to this small shop recently, please come in and sit down. This is a hundred-year-old wine."

Hearing the words "immortal down", Xibo Jifu's face showed a touch of emotion, and he was already immersed in the memories of the past.

At this moment, Su Ji wandered alone in the city of Haojing.

There is less than a week left before the one-year appointment.

Where will Qing Li appear?How will it appear?

Su Ji doesn't care about these issues now, what he cares most about now is how to fill his stomach.Obviously, he ate a meal of delicacies yesterday, but he started to be hungry again this morning, which made Su Ji envious of those monks who didn't need to eat.

Now, although the meteor robe on his body is still very bright, he is penniless.

If he doesn't want to be hungry and wants to survive, he can only find a way to make money by himself.

Walking on the bustling streets of Haojing, Su Ji began to think about how to be self-reliant, but he never found a place to make money, but found a lot of places to spend money, after all, he has always been better at the latter.

Stopping and walking, Su Ji found that the streets and alleys of Haojing had the same notice posted, which seemed to have been posted just last night.

Early in the morning, many people in the market crowded around to watch, pointing at the notice.Many people gathered in front of each notice, and darkness could be seen everywhere.

Su Ji couldn't squeeze in at all. Fortunately, some enthusiastic people read the notice aloud:

"The concubine is suffering from a persistent illness, and has sought medical treatment from all over the world. There is a reward of [-] gold shells, a thousand catties of pearls and jade, and the title of Viscount of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Su Ji couldn't help swallowing, this was ten times higher than offering a reward for finding Marquis Shen!
It's a pity that Su Ji doesn't know how to treat illnesses at all.Recalling that the eldest brother "Su Bo", known as "Yan Wangchou", was best at saving people, but he fell ill and died while treating the plague.Later, Yan Wangchou Tang was taken over by Lin Zi, and often only one dose of medicine would cure the disease.However, the two genius doctors of Chaoge who helped the world are no longer around.

The common people who joined in the fun also sighed at the bounty just like Su Ji, and in the end they could only shake their heads.

After a long while, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, leaving only a man in white beside the notice.

The man in white didn't read the notice, but stared at a bare wall in a daze.

Quietly coming behind the man in white, Su Ji took a closer look through the fox pupils, and saw that there was actually a notice posted on the wall, which was invisible to ordinary people.

Su Ji glanced roughly, this notice is looking for a thief who specializes in stealing magic treasures from the Immortal Family, nicknamed "God Thief Ye Linglong".This is the most mysterious wanted notice Su Ji has ever seen, because there are only words on the notice, and there is no portrait of the wanted criminal at all. It seems that no one knows what this "Ye Linglong" looks like.

What Su Ji cared most about was not Ye Linglong, but the man in white who was reading the notice.Judging by the attire of the man in white, it is obvious that he is an interpreter.

Su Ji was about to inquire about the whereabouts of the White Wolf King, so he followed behind the man in white.

While walking, the man in white stopped to watch from time to time.That movement was not admiring the street view at all, but seemed to be avoiding someone, and also seemed to be confirming the direction.Normal people would never walk like this.

Where is he going sneakily?
Su Ji stopped and walked, followed the man in white to a dark alley, suddenly found that there was an empty dead end in front of him, and stopped immediately.

"It's clearly going in this direction..." Su Ji murmured to himself.

At this moment, a deep voice of a strange man suddenly came from behind:

"Are you looking for me?"

Su Ji looked back suddenly, and saw a man in white walking slowly from the other side of the alley.
