The world of Taoism

Chapter 163 The Uninvited Guest

Just as Zhou Xuan was deducing, the sound of hasty footsteps came.

"Master! The two distinguished guests are awake!" said the maid.

"Are you awake? Then what are you in a hurry for?" Zhou Xuan was speechless.

"That young lady was looking for life and death as soon as she woke up, and it took me a lot of effort to stop her," said the maid.

"Okay, take me to have a look." Zhou Xuan said.

The two distinguished guests must be referring to the two siblings, the dead will not be resurrected, and the two guards are still in the woodshed.

There is no need to be afraid of the corpse rotting, Zhou Xuan has already applied a special potion.

Come to the wing room and open the door.

There was a smell of medicine in the room, and there were two beds in it.

On the left lay a woman with a flustered expression, hiding behind the quilt, secretly looking at Zhou Xuan, holding a hairpin in her hand.

The woman's face was pale, her hair was disheveled, her delicate facial features were very delicate, and her big watery eyes gave people a very pitiful feeling.

"Don't move around, I won't save you if you commit suicide again! You can fend for yourself." Zhou Xuan laughed.

It was only a few steps away, Zhou Xuan could completely stop the woman before she committed suicide.

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, doubts flashed across the woman's big eyes, she tilted her head and said, "You saved me?"

"Of course, if it's not me, who else?"

The woman was about what happened before she fell into a coma, remembering that she was surrounded by a group of savages before she fell into a coma.

The man in front of him is dressed luxuriously, he doesn't look like a bad guy.

"Where is my brother?" The woman jumped up suddenly, looking around in panic.

Zhou Xuan looked around, but found no trace of the boy, and then looked at the servant next to him: "Where is that boy?"

"The child was not injured. He woke up earlier and went out to play."

Following the eyes of the servants, I saw three children playing by the lake, and one of them was the woman's younger brother.

Seeing that her brother was still alive and kicking, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the hairpin in her hand.

The woman walked out of bed with difficulty, and saluted Zhou Xuan: "Thank you benefactor, I don't know benefactor Gao's name?"

"Next Zhou Xuan." Zhou Xuan said concisely.

"Little girl Liu Qi, the daughter of King Chunjiang, has no means of repaying her great kindness. After the little girl returns, she will definitely give her benefactor a big gift."

This woman named Liu Qi is very smart.

On the surface, he was thanking Zhou Xuan, but in fact he was also testing whether Zhou Xuan could let him go.

At the same time, he also promised to send a reward after returning.

Zhou Xuan immediately understood what Liu Qi meant.

"It turns out to be the daughter of King Chunjiang, the queen of the royal family. I have long admired you!" Zhou Xuan made a surprised expression, "Of course, I have sent a letter to Chunjiang Mansion, and someone will pick it up soon."

"Thank you benefactor." Liu Qi was overjoyed, it seemed that her identity was indeed useful.

Of course, the remuneration just mentioned must be true.

"You're welcome, rest first, I still have things to deal with." Zhou Xuan turned around and left without restricting Liu Qi's freedom.

People in the royal family were not easy to deal with, and Zhou Xuan didn't bother to deal with them.

Seeing Zhou Xuan leaving so cleanly, Liu Qi was slightly surprised.

People who met Liu Qi in the past were either fawning over her or avoiding her. This was the first time they had seen someone as calm as Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan walked out the door, letting them rest in peace.

Zhou Xuan still has a lot of things to do, and many spell materials to prepare.

This time there are a lot of materials, and the reserves at home are not enough.

"The first magic weapon, I don't know how effective it will be." Zhou Xuan thought to himself.

This is Zhou Xuan's first time practicing magic weapon.

As the name suggests, the magic weapon is a magic weapon, and it can also be called a magic weapon.

Different from ordinary utensils, magic utensils generally contain mysterious and unpredictable power.

The power of the bell is to control the corpse, which can greatly reduce the pressure on one's mind.

Now Zhou Xuan is waiting for the success of the spell deduction, and this process will take several hours.

It is estimated that we will be able to practice spells tomorrow, after all, the forging craftsmen have not arrived yet.

In the evening, Zhou Xuan invited his siblings to dinner.

There is a sumptuous amount of food on the dinner table, among which there are many well-known modern dishes, most of which are Cantonese dishes.

The siblings were a little shy at first, but they ate with relish in the end.

"It's delicious, even better than the dishes made by the chef of the palace." The boy was sweating profusely, and then looked at his sister, "Can I still eat these dishes when I go back?"

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Yes, I will ask the cook to write a recipe and send it to you. The ingredients are very common."

After Zhou Xuan practiced spells, he tabooed many things.

There is no way to eat some dishes with a slightly stronger taste.

So I had to ask the chef to cook some light dishes, which tasted okay, at least better than nothing.

With the increase of spells, Zhou Xuan could eat less and less.

This kind of taboo should be the part that conflicts with spells. Perhaps as the strength increases, these things will disappear.

I haven't heard of any taboos for Yinshen masters, but I just don't want to eat them.

"What's your name?" Zhou Xuan smiled as he looked at the child who was feasting.

"My name is Liu Neng." The child said in a childish voice.

"Liu... Neng?" Zhou Xuan had a strange expression on his face, "What a good name! It will definitely accomplish great things in the future."

In the evening, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and rested his mind. Suddenly, his ears moved.

Zhou Xuan raised his head and looked into the distance.

da da da da...

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and they rushed towards Zhou's house.

"Who?" Zhou Xuan was puzzled, then stood up and walked to the door.

The horseshoes sounded hurriedly, and they seemed to be in a hurry. There were about 20 people.

Could it be Rune Sword and the others?
Soon, the sound of hooves came to the door.

Boom!

The gate collapsed, and a group of knights in black galloped in aggressively.

"Where is Zhou Xuan?" The leading man in black took off his hat.

This person was wearing a black hunting suit, with a face like a crown jade, handsome and unrestrained.

A pair of eyes are like unsheathed swords, like a little cold star in the dark night, people dare not look directly at them.

The age of the man is estimated to be about 20 years old, with a sword on his waist and a white horse on his body, like a good man in a troubled world, with a sense of nobility blowing his face.

"What a big dog!"

Whoa!
Five black shadows flew out, and surrounded the men with a dozen guards.

Both sides took out their weapons one after another, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Slow! I am!" Zhou Xuan's figure appeared next to the man.

"Oh?"

Seeing Zhou Xuan's sudden appearance, a trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he showed a smile of interest: "I am Xuanli, a staff member of the palace, and the county lord and the prince are with you? It's best not to tell lies."

"Of course." Zhou Xuan said expressionlessly.

"Lead the way ahead."

Xuanli did not dismount, but looked down at Zhou Xuan condescendingly, with an order in his tone, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

It seems that he is used to being in a superior position, and he always speaks with orders, as if scolding his subordinates.

The guards behind were all tall and strong, with their eyes fixed on their surroundings.

"Get out of the way!" Xuanli shouted to Zhou Yi and the others
Zhou Yi and the others did not receive Zhou Xuan's order and still refused to move.
