Capture the Jade:

Lin Chengyou said lazily: "Miss Teng is right. This monster is not small. It really can't eat a meal. It's better to take it home and pickle it slowly. Eat its arms today and its head tomorrow. If you can't eat enough by yourself, it's a big deal to call your relatives and friends over to eat together."

The old demon was furious when he heard it, and he got up together, as if he was about to go out. Everyone saw it, and their hearts jumped into their throats instantly.

Teng Yuyi kept sweating in secret. After all this effort, the old demon still refused to be fooled.

Lin Chengyou was as stable as Mount Tai, and slowly turned the hilt of the sword: "This monster dare not move, I will give it a try now to see if this jade sword is better, or the Nine Heavens Profound Sword."

He sneered, spread his arms lightly, jumped off the beam of the house, drew a sword flower in mid-air, and pointed directly at the old demon's brow.

The old demon is well aware of the power of the Emerald Sword, and if you block it hard, you will die. Lady, it would be easier for Lady Teng to stab, she doesn't have to wait for the opponent to get close to her, it can tear it into pieces from a distance, but the sword fell into the hands of Lin Chengyou.

"Your Majesty is almost at the age of weakness, why does he openly covet my flesh and blood like he has never seen a beauty before, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?"

She smiled charmingly, deliberately flying around the formation, Lin Chengyou wanted to force her out of the formation, but she wanted to lure him in.

Lin Chengyou stopped the castration abruptly, and smirked backwards: "Forget it, are you hurting too many people? You look so ugly. Have you ever heard a saying, 'Shame comes from the heart', Even among monsters, your appearance is really ugly, let alone eating your meat, I would get tired of looking at it even more."

The old demon's complexion changed drastically. She has practiced for hundreds of years, but she has never been able to cultivate a beautiful appearance. If she hadn't started taking the beauty's skin forcibly a few months ago, she still has an ugly face.

Successively snatched the bodies of more than a dozen women, but none of them were very satisfactory. It was not until he bumped into Mrs. An Guogong that he realized what beauty was.

After being a beauty for several months, she almost forgot her original appearance. Lin Chengyou's words were like sharp blades, piercing her heart.

Her gaze was like a poisonous arrow, and her lips began to twitch: "You are looking for death!"

Lin Chengyou added fuel to the fire: "Miss Teng, do you really want to eat it, so you are not afraid of being damaged by its poisonous gas?"

"That's right." Teng Yuyi changed his mind, "Why don't we take it back and feed it to cows and horses."

The old demon's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it any longer. With a kick of his legs, he suddenly stood up: "You crazy people who don't know how to live or die, tonight I will let you taste that life is worse than death." /

Lin Chengyou's body froze for a moment, and he turned around with a smile to escape, but unexpectedly touched the sore spot, and his figure fell to the ground in a flash.

Juesheng and Qizhi were shocked: "Brother!"

All the guards turned pale with fright and rushed over.

The old demon hates so much, how can he miss this excellent opportunity, without chasing out of the formation, Lin Chengyou can be torn in half with his claws.

Lin Chengyou was seriously injured, bowed his head and couldn't stop coughing, the old demon smiled sinisterly, and was about to exert strength, but Lin Chengyou chuckled twice, and suddenly clasped her paw with his backhand, and grabbed her paw before the old demon could withdraw his hand. She soared.

This trick was caught off guard, and the old demon secretly thought badly, and he was only short of the last few mouthfuls of spiritual power, and unexpectedly caught Lin Chengyou's way. Fortunately, the formation was at his feet, and there was still time to escape.

Because she was eager to get away, she released clouds of black mist like flames. Lin Chengyou threw her aside and shouted: "Change the formation!"

Two little Taoist priests who only know how to cry jumped up, and ran like flying in the courtyard with their Taoist robes, staggering back and forth, changing their formation in the blink of an eye.

The old demon thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly chanted a mantra loudly. The vines under her feet heard the call, and they swelled several feet to wrap around her feet. She was about to use them to pull her back into the formation, but she didn't know that in the blink of an eye , Two golden lights shot out from behind Xiao Daotong, the rays of light intertwined, spiraled upwards, and touched the coiled golden net above the head. Before he had time to jump into the formation, he was thrown far out of the formation.

The old demon fell to the eaves in a panic, managed to slow down, raised his head in embarrassment, and saw Lin Chengyou standing on a tree not far away, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Can you stop me from absorbing spiritual power, can you stop me from becoming a demon?" The old demon gritted his teeth in hatred, Lin Chengyou did everything possible to lure her out of battle, Xiaodaotong was responsible for sealing her retreat, but she hated being played around by Lin Chengyou She didn't know when the three of them communicated under her nose.

But Lin Chengyou stopped fighting the old demon, and threw the emerald sword to the guards below: "Give it back to Lady Teng."

Then jumped down from the treetops: "Do it, change to the Xuantian array."

Xiao Daotong replied loudly: "Yes."

Teng Yuyi took the Emerald Sword, turned around and took Mrs. Du away, successfully lured out the old demon, and the next step will be much easier.

Under the moonlight, the old demon could clearly see that Lin Chengyou's snow-white collar was stained with blood.

Seeing that Teng Yuyi was about to run away, she immediately changed her mind, left Lin Chengyou behind, and turned to pursue Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi slipped rather quickly and ran to the door in a blink of an eye.

The old demon rushed along the eaves. She chased her to the Ziyun Tower tonight, not only to avenge the sword, but also because Mrs. An Guogong's wife Wuzang suffered a great loss. It's better to find another fresh beauty skin.

This little lady surnamed Teng was slender and bright, although she was not as plump as Mrs. An Guogong, but she was a little more girly and graceful.

What's strange is that they knew that she was chasing Teng Yuyi, but the three behind them didn't stop her, they just listened to Xiaodaotong: "Brother, do you really want to use this formation?"

"It's all set up, so why bother?"

"But I just remembered that the master said that the Xuantian Formation needs a boy's body to lead the formation... Otherwise, not only will it not be able to go up to the sky, but it will also damage the people who set up the formation.

“…”

Another person also said: "Although this formation can kill all directions, if senior brother is not...you don't have to force it. At worst, use other formations to catch the old demon first, and then set up a formation to suppress it after being escorted back to Qingyun Temple It."

The tree demon laughed secretly, as expected of a child with a young mind, who could ask such a stupid question in the face of a dude like Lin Chengyou.

Looks like this situation can't be settled anymore, she is more relieved.

Everyone fled in all directions, but Teng Yuyi was agile and ran out of the courtyard first. The old demon was so excited that he chased after him all the way.

Teng Yuyi was terrified, and ran across the wall while cursing: "Monster, you want to hurt people when you are about to die, just look at who is behind you."

Old demon: "You still expect Lin Chengyou to save you? He was severely injured by me, and he has long been unable to take care of himself."

Teng Yuyi sneered: "I don't expect anyone, but if you are not afraid of my left claw being cut off, you can try it."

The old demon remembered how Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou worked together to lure her out of the battle just now, and was so angry that he cut off the wall in front of him. Slowly, like cotton.

An ominous premonition welled up in the old demon's heart, and she wanted to turn her head to find out, but her strange power suddenly rose, like a male army joining forces, beating gongs and drums, driving thousands of flags, controlling hundreds of soldiers, overwhelming mountains and seas to press on her head.

There was a loud bang in the old demon's head, and he gathered all the evil energy in his body to fight back, but this strange power was completely different from the spells he had encountered before.

The old demon hunched over and froze in mid-air, his soul seemed to be crushed into pieces, he tried his best to look forward, only to see fire dragons wandering around in the courtyard, and most of the evil creatures were entangled, either screaming miserably, or instantly Burned to black ashes.

Night Breeze sent a deep voice of reciting mantras, knocking on gold and jade, light and joyful like a spring, after careful debate, it was Lin Chengyou's voice.

"Take a hug with your soul, and I will come to fight against the demon."

"Broken—"

The old demon's eyeballs were slightly protruding, and before she could struggle, a ray of light, like snow, hit her face hard.

The old demon howled in pain, desperately trying to break free from the shackles, but Xue Guang wound up like a spirit snake, binding her tightly.

Lin Chengyou hung in the air, the voice of chanting the mantra was louder and louder, and the old demon couldn't stop trembling. From the face to the neck, the brown and black knotted bark was exposed inch by inch, and the long hair on the shoulders was even slower. Slow down into wisps of branches.

Seeing that hundreds of years of skill will be destroyed in one day, the old demon regretted it too late, and couldn't help crying.

Her rhyme is bleak, as if she was overwhelmed with grief, Lin Chengyou was indifferent, but Xiaodaotong and the guards were moved with compassion, as if all the sad things in their stomachs were aroused by the crying.

Lin Chengyou cursed secretly in his heart, at this time he was still playing tricks, releasing all his evil spirits to confuse people's minds, people who don't know how to guard against, often lose their muscles and don't know it.

He flicked away the talisman paper on the altar tree, waved his sleeves, and hit the altar tree.

Juesheng and Qizhi shook their heads and suddenly came to their senses.

Lin Chengyou fell back into the formation, dragged the old demon who had lost his skills to the front, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to let you go after playing so many tricks?"

The old demon rolled his eyes and nodded desperately, trembling.

"Answer me a few questions honestly. If you can answer them well, I can consider not to beat you back to your original form."

The old demon whimpered, it was what he wanted.

"A few months ago, you were just a tree demon at the foot of Liquan Mountain. The way of magic? Who taught you how to steal human bodies? You dived into the bamboo forest by the river tonight, is there someone waiting for you there, or is it purely for evil?"

The old demon looked complicated, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to his throat.

With a snap of Lin Chengyou's fingers, the old demon coughed several times, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's all by chance, and I have never been instructed by anyone. I practiced hard in the mountains. I encountered a thunderstorm that night, and I broke into a cave to avoid robbery." Unfortunately, I encountered a landslide and was trapped in the cave for several months. I accidentally broke the way of heaven. Mrs. An Guo continued her life, she just wanted to change into a fresh beautiful body."

Lin Chengyou nodded with a smile, and with a wave of his robe sleeve, the fire on the old demon's body burned again, and tens of thousands of ants burrowed into every bone, which made people feel so painful.

The old demon wailed in pain: "If you don't believe me, you can go to the back of Liquan Mountain to look for it yourself. The mountain where I am located has not been visited for thousands of years, and it has long been an empty mountain."

Lin Chengyou was so hard-hearted, not only didn't stop fighting, but also signaled Juesheng and Qizhi to read faster.

Unbearable to be humiliated, the old demon scolded sadly: "Lin Chengyou! You villain, let me go after you agreed to answer the question, how can you keep your word?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the paper talisman turned into a fire dragon and climbed onto the old demon's legs. This time, even its lower body turned into a tree root.

There is cruelty in Lin Chengyou's smile: "You have killed so many creatures, do you still expect to not suffer? I don't give you many chances, so don't try to play tricks, tell me honestly, and enlighten you Who is that person?"

The old demon knew that if she came back twice, she would definitely be beaten back to her original shape. After hundreds of years of hard work, how could she be willing to become an old tree without any sense? say..."

It swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was about to speak, when the sky suddenly lit up, and the sound of rattles came from the vault above its head, and before everyone could react, a bright light rolled down.

Lin Chengyou's complexion changed slightly, this thing went straight to the eye of the formation, clearly coming to save the old demon.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, he hastily pulled the tree demon back, Fu Long lost his control, and instantly beat the old demon back to its original shape.

The strange thunder seemed to be aware of it, and it turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared in the air, coming and going invisible, as if it had never appeared before.

Juesheng and Qizhi recalled Zhentanmu, stood up and huddled close to him, looked down at the old monster's original shape, it was a sapling not too thick and not too thin, surrounded by green moss, and a strange fragrance wafted from his nostrils.

The two were still in shock: "Senior brother, did that strange thunder come to save the old demon?"

Lin Chengyou stared at the direction where the light came from, took out the Soul Locker Zhi from his arms, bound the young tree and threw it to the two of them: "Go back and stay in the broken knot."

He said to the guards who were still wiping sweat: "Hurry up and send the wounded and Mrs. An Guogong to Zhaolexuan for resettlement. I'll go back as soon as I go."

He jumped onto the wall and instantly merged into the night.

***

Zhaolexuan's courtyard is cramped, and there is only one bedroom in total. The Teng and Dong families have no choice but to settle in one place.

Most of the palace people were scared out of their wits, and the guards also had lingering fears. When everything was cleared up, everyone was still out of their wits.

Ms. Du's legs trembled, and she kept patting Teng Yuyilou in her arms. Teng Yuyi was full of doubts when he recalled how Lin Chengyou dealt with the old demon just now. Lin Chengyou not only asked why the old demon went to the bamboo forest, but also guessed that someone was waiting there It, she had never thought about it before, when she arrived with Duan Fu and others, there were only the old demon and her cousin master and servant in the forest, she only knew that her cousin was attacked, but she didn't know the cause.

If the old demon did not break into the bamboo forest by accident, but went to meet the appointment, where is the man hiding? The cousin was attacked by the old demon, maybe it was because the cousin accidentally bumped into something.

She pondered back and forth for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, when she heard her aunt calling softly for her cousin, she regained her senses.

The medicine given by Lin Chengyou had a miraculous effect, and the weird golden color on the cousin's body disappeared. Although Baizhi and Hongnu were still lethargic, they both showed signs of improvement.

Duanfu was placed under the verandah outside, and when Teng Yuyi went to look at it, his breathing gradually became more stable.

On the couch by the window, Mrs. An Guogong and the second wife of Dong County Magistrate's family were lying side by side. One was very angry, and the other was still unconscious because he hadn't taken the medicine.

The lady in charge escaped death by a narrow margin, and when she was overwhelmed, she recalled that all the pills Lin Chengyou had given were taken away by Lady Teng, and now those of the Teng family were getting better after taking the medicine, but her second mother’s life was hanging by a thread , she couldn't help being worried, and while taking care of Dong Erniang, she gave Teng Yuyi a look from time to time, her eyes were secretive, full of accusations and resentment.

Teng Yuyi noticed the sight behind her and turned her head to see what happened. At this time, the palace servants came in and said: "The son said before he left that he had something to check. The few girls in the room are all unmarried ladies. Let the servants do it in advance." some arrangements."

Mrs. Du vaguely heard a few words earlier, only thinking that Lin Chengyou was coming to check on the injury, and she was worried about the dangers of men and women, so she was completely relieved, and hurriedly replied: "Yes."

The lady in charge was looking forward to asking for a few more life-saving pills from Lin Chengyou, so she agreed in every possible way: "All according to the arrangement of the prince."

The palace people put the five wounded women side by side on the Hu bed, covered with a thick curtain, only the bottom of the legs were exposed.

When Teng Yuyi was helping the bed curtain, she inadvertently looked at Dong Erniang, and unexpectedly found that Dong Erniang's face was not golden-gray, and her breath was actually quite stable.

Hey, aren't you poisoned by a demon? She wanted to take a closer look, but the lady in charge blocked the curtain because she was afraid of the wind.

Teng Yuyi simply walked around to the other side of the curtain, and looked again quietly. At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and someone began to speak in front of the court. General Duan and Mrs. Yong'an Hou from the government are here."

Madam Du was stunned and said, "Little General Duan and Madam Yong'an Hou?"

Little General Duan's name is Duan Ningyuan, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, and Yu'er's fiancé-in-law. Duan Wenyin, Mrs. Yong'an Hou, is Duan Ningyuan's older sister. When Duan Wenyin was seventeen years old, she married the Marquis of Yong'an in Luoyang.

The siblings of the Duan family are only three years apart, and they have always been very close. In the future, when Yu'er marries Duan Ningyuan, she will have to call Duan Wenyin "sister".

Madam Du put on a smile and wanted to get up, the palace servant said again: "The Duan family is also watching the banquet at the Ziyun Tower tonight. I heard that Mrs. Teng was frightened, and General Duan and Mrs. Yong'an Hou came to help. Several other wives who were related to the Duke of Zhen's mansion heard about this and rushed to take care of them. However, the prince sealed off the middle gate in order to catch the monster, so they had to wait for news in the middle hall. Now that the prince subdued the monster, Then I came to the inner garden, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou asked outside if my wife and the young lady had any taboos, and could I come in to visit."

While the palace man was speaking, there were many women whispering in the corridor outside, but Duan Ningyuan's voice was not heard.

Teng Yuyi sneered in her heart, but her expression remained the same. Mrs. Du thought she was shy, patted the back of her hand, and whispered: "It's so timely, the Duan family has a heart."

The bed has already been covered with a thick curtain, Madam Du has no scruples anymore, straightened the scarf in her arms, and greeted her warmly: "Please come in."

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and someone entered the yard again.

"A total of five people were injured, besides the Teng family, who is the other family?" It was Lin Chengyou's voice.

Teng Yuyi was a little surprised. Lin Chengyou turned around so quickly, and he didn't know what he could find.

"It's the second wife of Dong County Magistrate's family in Wannian County. Tonight she made an appointment with several officials' daughters to have a banquet by the riverside. Said that the Taoist priest was invited, so he asked Mrs. Yonganhou to take care of him and entered the Ziyun Tower."

Teng Yuyi glanced at the curtain meaningfully. She should have expected that the family members of ordinary officials would not be able to enter the Ziyun Building without an invitation from an honored person. It turned out that the "noble person" who brought Dong Erniang in was none other than Duan Ningyuan sister Duan Wenyin.

Their siblings have always been deeply affectionate. In the previous life, Duan Ningyuan was almost expelled from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion because of his resignation with her.

It is not surprising that Duan Wenyin returned to Chang'an during the Shangsi Festival these few days, but something happened to the Dong family, and Duan Wenyin did not ask anyone else to ask for it. Entrusted by his younger brother Duan Ningyuan, Teng Yu couldn't think of any other reason.

She calculated the date, it was early spring, and there were still three months before Duan Ningyuan came to withdraw from the marriage. It could be seen that Duan Ningyuan had a heart for Dong Erniang earlier than she expected.

Lin Chengyou said: "I want to go into the house to check the injury, is everything settled inside?"

When the lady in charge heard this, she immediately jumped up from the couch, ran to the door, plopped and knelt down and said, "Please help my second mother, my son just gave the medicine to the young lady of the Teng family to arrange, but My second mother is not blessed, she didn't get a single grain, now the second mother's life is hanging by a thread, I just ask the son to help."

I heard a young man say in surprise: "The medicine hasn't been distributed to your second mother?!"

It was Duan Ningyuan's voice, implying anger and accusations.

The lady in charge just kowtowed, crying uncontrollably.
