Chapter 627: Three Hunting Tigers, One Wolf Smoke

~10 min read 1,825 words

Three Hunting Tigers, one Wolf Smoke.

It is not impossible to ambush even an upper-stage Hunting Tiger.

Not to mention before coming to Huangzhou, even now, it is quite a grand affair for Liang Qu, who has reached the perfection of the Sky Bridge.

What a pity.

With the "Eye Consciousness Method" and "Nose Consciousness Method," conspiracies and tricks involving personal safety are extremely difficult to take effect.

Liang Qu said earnestly, "Tomorrow morning, I will trouble you and Binglin; be sure not to let a single person go missing."

"Elder, rest assured."

Midnight.

Mid-November, a new full moon is brewing.

The huge moon wheel rises slowly outside the Arhat window, silver light spilling in, illuminating the glowing skin.

The screen unfolds.

The long skirt falls to the ground.

Long Eying takes off her skirt, changes into a sturdy narrow-sleeved robe, puts on tube boots, and without taking off her clothes, just covers herself with a thin quilt for a light nap.

Splash.

Water stains flow, reflecting the moonlight.

The courtyard is deep and secluded.

Long Binglin picks up a pottery jar, pours clear water, and wipes the blade with fine silk.

His wrist turns lightly.

White spots flow, the light reflecting like a mirror.

Almost simultaneously.

The long wind howls, and the silhouettes on the empty Five Old Peaks sway lightly.

Ning Chaoqing and the other three meet up.

"Are you sure only one person is coming?"

"When we delivered the soup tonight, we agreed that the two of us would watch the sunrise together. If there is an accident, I will accidentally knock over the lantern, and you all act according to the situation."

The bearded man laughed, "So what if she's beautiful? Young as she is, she can't compare to a mature woman by half."

"Don't be careless!" Ning Chaoqing warned, "Tomorrow morning, you stew another pot of lotus seed soup, and add a little bone-softening powder and blood-dissolving pill."

"Stew lotus seed soup in the morning? What if he doesn't drink it?"

"It's fine, just consider it a backup plan. If he doesn't drink it, he doesn't drink it. Don't persuade him. In short, don't arouse suspicion. We should avoid bloodshed if we can, and keep the commotion as small as possible to avoid attracting others. Below the Five Old Peaks is the Haihui Temple, and the abbot's strength cannot be underestimated."

"Understood!"

"Are the pills ready?"

"Turtle Breath, Burning Blood, All-Origin, all complete."

"Good, take the pills!"

The instructions were correct.

The three swallowed the Turtle Breath pills, restrained the fluctuations of their aura, and dispersed to various parts of the sunrise platform on the Five Old Peaks, hiding or covering themselves.

Except for Ning Chaoqing and the bearded man, the remaining thin man even contracted his bones and hid in the rock crevices of the giant boulders on the peak.

Motionless.

End of the Yin hour.

The mountain wind is biting.

The moon is half-hanging and half-drooping, the sea of clouds outside the mountain flows like silver, ten thousand fir trees rustle, and the branches sway.

The pale red sea tide seen during the day has now turned into ghostly hands.

One person climbing the mountain and leaving the house, with all sounds silent and no one to accompany, it really has a bit of desolation and eeriness.

"A Hongmen Banquet, your courage has indeed grown."

Liang Qu laughed at himself; in the past, he would never have attended the banquet.

Breathing out a puff of hot air, he sighed at the change in circumstances.

Liang Qu adjusted the green wolf at his waist to make it easier to draw his blade, opened the door, and was about to call someone next door, but unexpectedly found that the courtyard gate was half-covered, not closed at all.

He stepped aside half a step and looked through the door crack.

The candles in the inner room were burning brightly, and he could clearly see the plump silhouette reflected outside the window, with both hands behind her back, as if she was putting on undergarments and tying the knots.

Coming out with such a thing late at night.

He looked around for a while.

A gaze fell on his back.

"Cough, cough..."

The silhouette in the room paused, stepped off the bed, and left the front window.

A moment later.

A revolving lantern came out.

The warm orange light moved from inside the room to outside, illuminating the surroundings.

She Lianmei came out carrying a lantern, her pretty face flushed red.

"I overslept and got up half a quarter of an hour late, don't blame me, little brother."

"How could I? The winter nights are long, and there is still half an hour before sunrise. On the contrary, the lantern in your hand is very warm. I felt the night cold outside before, but as soon as I came in, I felt comfortable all over. What kind of oil is used inside?"

"Golden bright oil, golden fire oil is hot, I mixed the two, one to two, to make a small lantern. Little brother, do you feel cold? Why don't you drink a bowl of sweet soup to warm your body first?"

After speaking.

She Lianmei came to the side of the wall in the courtyard, the single-tube stove was still not extinguished, she lifted the lid, and rolling white water mist gushed out.

A faint stench of rot lingered.

Crack.

The medicine in the gourd had deteriorated.

Poisonous!

Wasting a pot of good precious plants.

Liang Qu felt regretful in his heart, and made a difficult expression: "Sister Mei, I have no appetite in the morning. Drinking sweet soup again would be too greasy. Why don't we drink it when we come back?"

"That's true." She Lianmei did not force it, "In that case, let's drink it after watching the sunrise." "Good!"

A few small talks.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the Five Old Peaks.

The lantern swayed gently, illuminating the road ahead.

"Little brother, why don't you lean closer? It's so cold outside."

"My cultivation is profound, I don't fear the cold."

"Profound cultivation, does that mean you lose the sense of cold and heat? Can't taste salt or blandness? You will always feel uncomfortable, right?"

"Hmm..."

The silhouettes were close.

"Little brother, you smell so good. I wanted to ask when I entered the room yesterday. I wonder what is emitting it?"

"Is there?"

"Don't believe me? Little brother, lift your hand and smell it."

Liang Qu thought She Lianmei was being polite, but when he lifted his hand and sniffed, there was indeed a faint fruity fragrance.

After a little thought, he found the source.

The monkey wine he drank yesterday!

It is worthy of being a monkey wine that is worth a thousand gold.

After drinking it, the blood circulation is smooth, which can be three points faster, and the whole body emits a hundred-fruit fragrance, which has not dissipated after a night.

Hearing the explanation, She Lianmei felt surprised.

Under the water, there are white apes guarding, and on land, there are macaques offering treasures.

Is this kid transformed from a monkey?

Suppressing the shock, She Lianmei said calmly: "Little brother, you are really lucky. Strolling through the Brocade Valley can attract old macaques to offer treasures. You must be a person with destiny."

Cough.

It's embarrassing.

Liang Qu stroked his neck.

Walking all the way, there were no tricks, only praise.

In the middle, because they were too close, their shoulders bumped from time to time, and wisps of fragrance drilled into his nostrils.

She Lianmei is undoubtedly good-looking.

Her appearance looks about thirty, rosy and fair, bright and generous, with a plump and graceful figure.

If it were someone else, with such a beauty by his side, revealing her admiration, he would definitely be distracted.

Fortunately, Liang Qu practiced the "Ten Thousand Victories Holding Origin," and his cultivation of Qi was profound.

Sweet first, then bitter.

Endless joy.

Red Scale's wave of profit temptation, She Lianmei's wave of beauty trap, force coercion fell behind.

Negotiation!

The cloud pines are curved like dragons, and the strange rocks are majestic.

The Five Old Peaks are close at hand.

Less than a hundred meters away from the sunrise platform, three inexplicable gazes fell on Liang Qu.

He glanced secretly with his peripheral vision.

Not half a breath leaked, hidden very well.

Even when the two walked to the top of the peak, the ambushers did not act immediately.

The outsiders are not in a hurry, Liang Qu is even less in a hurry.

He walked around to look at the scenery.

She Lianmei gathered her skirt and sat with Liang Qu on the rock slab near the cliff.

The mountain wind here is very strong, and ordinary people cannot stand firmly, but the scenery is excellent, and one can see the boundless Peng Ze at a glance.

The tide ripples slowly, neither urgent nor prosperous, occasionally a tide hits the stone bank, shattering into white water.

After a few more quarters of an hour, one can see the sun wheel rising slowly from the lake surface from nothing.

Pine needles bounce.

She Lianmei took the initiative to move toward Liang Qu.

Only half a foot.

The edges of their thighs were completely pressed together, and even separated by clothes, they could still feel each other's body temperature.

Their calves hung in mid-air.

Embroidered shoes and long boots touched lightly.

Their breathing could be heard.

"Little brother Liang, you have such a fate with ape spirits, have you ever heard of the Jianghuai Bai Yuan?"

"Jianghuai Bai Yuan?"

"In April this year, there was a snake demon making trouble in Xiangyi County. The Bai Yuan took action to subdue the demon and was invited into the temple by the people of Xiangyi. Little brother, you are from Pingyang Prefecture and work in the River Po Office. You should know better than me, a person from Chizhou, right?"

"I know."

"Then little brother Liang, do you know what kind of sacred being the Bai Yuan is?"

"I don't know."

"Little brother, how can you not know?" She Lianmei leaned half-leaning on Liang Qu's shoulder, "If little brother doesn't know, I'm afraid no one in the whole Jianghuai knows, right? Isn't it you, little brother Liang, who led the Bai Yuan to subdue the demon?"

"Sister Mei, if you know, why ask?"

"I didn't know before, I guessed it, sister. Little brother said the day before yesterday that you worked in the River Po Office, and I also heard before that the Bai Yuan was led by an official surnamed Liang."

Liang Qu shook his head: "I am like a brother to the Bai Yuan. I cannot reveal anything about it to the outside world."

She Lianmei wrapped her hair around her index finger.

"Little brother, if you don't say it, you won't be able to leave today."
