Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 428
At dawn, a rooster crowed to announce the dawn, waking up the sleeping Xiaolou.

Xiaolou rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw Ji Chengshi's sitting back, widened his eyes suddenly, knelt down on the ground, slapped his face, and shouted with self-reproach:

"Damn the little one! He actually fell asleep... The little one deserves death!"

Ji Chengshi didn't speak, nor did he mean to blame him, but just focused on packing his luggage.

Xiaolou looked up at his master secretly, and asked, "Master, are we leaving like this?"

Ji Chengshi sighed: "If you don't leave, why don't you have to stay for the New Year?"

Xiaolou looked around the whole room and found that the display was neat and there was no trace of a fight at all. He couldn't help wondering: "Master Fox didn't send anyone to come here last night, but he missed the best time to steal the picture!"

Ji Chengshi frowned slightly, gradually stopped his hands, and murmured: "Could it be that he knows that the picture is no longer on me?"

Xiaolou said in astonishment, "This...it's impossible."

Having said that, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Ji Chengshi picked up his luggage, opened the door and went out. He saw Su Ji and several disciples waiting quietly outside, except for the monkey-like child.

Suddenly, the treetops in the distance rattled, and a figure jumped down while climbing the branches. It was Yuan Sheng.

"Senior brother!" Yuan Sheng shouted, and rushed to Hua Rulang in a hurry.

Hua Rulang frowned and said, "Junior Brother, why are you so anxious every day?"

"Brother! I was squatting on a tree just now, wondering whether I should eat peaches or apples for breakfast...Suddenly, a large group of weird-looking monsters came from the foot of the mountain, each of them was uglier and more disgusting than the last, and I lost my appetite at all. .Especially the weirdo in the lead, riding a drooling leopard, wearing a red suit, with two knots on the top of his head, red hair and blue face, bared mouth and fangs, just like this..."

As he spoke, Yuan Sheng tugged the corners of his mouth with both hands, and grinned into an exaggerated width, which made the Wansheng princess next to him giggle.

Based on his description, Su Ji guessed, "Could it be Gao Xiu?"

Hua Rulang pondered and said: "If it is really a high-level cultivator, then the group of ugly monsters he brought must be monks from Jiulong Island."

Yuan Sheng said: "Gao Xiu? The national teacher of Baoguo? The master of the second teacher's wife! What are they here for?"

"They came after me..."

Ji Chengshi walked over slowly.

Su Ji remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't mean to ask, Ji Chengshi said frankly: "Those monks from Jiulong Island came for the map of Jiangshan Sheji. A Jin warrior gave me a map before his death, which showed the topography of the world's mountains and rivers. , and the distribution of the Zhou family's army. If this map falls into anyone's hands, whoever can take advantage of the land, as if holding the lifeline of the Zhou family. Therefore, I was hunted down by the minions of the Zhou royal family and fled all the way here. It's a pity that Zhang Tu was halfway... destroyed by me."

"destroyed?"

Everyone was startled suddenly.

Ji Chengshi explained: "I originally wanted to dedicate that picture to a righteous man who was capable of overthrowing the faint king. I never thought that the picture would be taken away during my confrontation with Gao Xiu. I didn't want it to fall into the hands of thieves." hand, and urged the curse seal pasted on the picture in advance, and burned the picture with his own hands!"

The children looked at each other and felt sorry for each other. If the master could get this picture, Fa Zhou would be even more powerful, but it's a pity that things have come to this...

Su Ji smiled in relief, and said, "Sir, I'll take you away from the back mountain, don't pay attention to those people, they can't enter the mountain anyway."

Ji Chengshi decided: "This matter happened because of me, please let me drive those people away myself."

Su Ji secretly thought that it was just a chance to see his abilities, and readily responded, "Then Mr. Lao will be there."

Master Ji Cheng took out a blank sheepskin scroll from the package, circled it with his hands, drew a strange formation diagram, and said: "Just follow the diagram shown, move 49 boulders to the foot of the mountain, and attach My seal can make those monks on Jiulong Island come and go!"

Yuan Sheng glanced at the formation map, and said dumbfounded: "I saw those strange people, there are hundreds of them, and each of them is a master of Jiulong Island, just a few big rocks, you want to trap them?"

Hua Rulang humbly asked for advice: "Sir, I don't know what mystery is hidden in this formation?"

Ji Chengshi smiled and said: "It's very simple, this formation can make people unable to get out forever, and starve to death inside."

"Starved to death inside?" Yuan Sheng said with disdain on his face, "It's the first time I've met such a brazen charlatan like you, you're going to blow your skin off!"

"Junior Brother, don't be rude!" Hua Rulang pulled Yuan Sheng.

Yuan Sheng turned his head away with an expression of disbelief, Yang Xiao and Princess Wan Sheng also felt that this matter was unreasonable.

Su Ji asked: "Sir, how sure are you?"

Ji Chengshi said lightly: "If you don't believe it, why not try it here now."

Hua Rulang said: "The place here is narrow, I'm afraid there won't be enough room for so many boulders."

Ji Chengshi said: "There is no need to bring huge stones, just use the table and incense burner in the study to make a show."

According to his instructions, the disciples moved out large and small tables and incense burners from the study.Under Ji Chengshi's command, Xiaolou began to arrange the tables and incense burners according to the formation diagram.After being arranged by Ji Chengshi, the inconspicuous table cases began to dazzle people.

Ji Chengshi made minor adjustments and found that the formation was not complete, so he ordered: "Please bring some more tables."

Su Ji gave him a wink, and the three apprentices followed suit, only Yuan Sheng was reluctant.

With just a cup of tea, there are scattered desks and cases in front of Weicaotang, unconsciously filling the entire courtyard.

Yuan Sheng glanced sideways at the desks that were no taller than half a person, and he could see all the way to the end with just one glance, and he couldn't block his sight at all.He glanced at Ji Chengshi, and said tit for tat: "You are fooling children, how dare you call yourself a formation?"

Ji Chengshi smiled slightly and said: "Little brother, you might as well go in and try it out. If you can get out of this battle in your lifetime, I will promise you to do anything."

In my lifetime?

Su Ji was slightly taken aback. Ji Chengshi was setting up a battle in front of Yuan Sheng just now, and he didn't mean to avoid it at all. It can be seen that he has a plan in mind, and he gave Yuan Sheng a long time limit, which is clearly intended to provoke Yuan Sheng on purpose.

Yuan Sheng felt a sense of being played around, pointed at Ji Chengshi's nose, and pouted, "Hmph, I won't be able to use it even for a moment! If this formation can't trap me, you can stay on the mountain, Help me pick fruit every day and feed me!"

Ji Chengshi nodded in agreement, walked up to Su Ji and the others, smiled and said, "Except for the little brother who wants to try out, everyone else please come with me."

Under the leadership of Ji Chengshi, Su Ji, Hua Rulang, Princess Wansheng, Yang Xiao, and the master and apprentice walked through the array of tables and tables to the entrance of the Micro Herbal Hall.

Princess Wansheng and Yang Xiao looked at each other, Hua Rulang didn't see any tricks;
Only Su Ji who walked all the way, his forehead was soaked with sweat, as if he had just passed through the gate of hell!
At this time, the distance between Yuan Sheng and Ji Chengshi was only twenty steps away, and they could even see each other's expressions.

Yuan Sheng squeezed his waist with both hands, and shouted: "I'm about to start, so-and-so, don't play tricks later!"

Ji Chengshi smiled without saying a word, stretched out a hand silently, and made a "please" gesture.

Yuan Sheng strode into the entrance, strictly following the aisle left between the tables and cases, and did not destroy the layout of the tables and cases, for fear of causing people to gossip.He could see the road ahead with just a glance of his eyes, passed through many desks smoothly, and walked straight to the exit in one go.

Hua Rulang blinked blankly. If he followed this speed, he would be able to walk in front of him in the blink of an eye, not to mention half a moment.

However, just when Hua Rulang thought Yuan Sheng was going to come out, he saw Yuan Sheng turned around in a circle, and unexpectedly walked back to the original spot, circling around the chair like a confused ant.

Yuan Sheng felt that he had entered a strange labyrinth. He clearly saw that the exit was ahead, and he could get out immediately, but unconsciously, walking along the aisle, he walked farther and farther inexplicably.

At this moment, the children watching outside the Tiny Herb Hall couldn't help but sigh.

Su Ji smiled and shook his head, as if he had expected such a result.

Yuan Sheng felt more and more evil, so he couldn't help but stop, carefully observe the surrounding layout, and found that he had been walking the wrong path just now.Looking at the complicated and intertwined table cases, he rubbed his eyes blankly, never dreaming that he would get lost in such a small courtyard!
