Chapter 207: Demon-Slaying Order Issued, Not a Blade of Grass Left!

Standing in front of the Pingkang Ward gate, Tian Chengsi, in official uniform, and more than a dozen Lulong Army captains under his command, stared at the flower girls laughing and smiling on the flower buildings on both sides of the street, their bodies hot.

The low-cut ru skirts that made people's blood boil, the snow-white skin on their chests, the peach blossom makeup on their foreheads, and the plump bodies with meat made these warriors who had been in the northern frontier for a long time, facing the bald Khitan people and Xi people, dry-mouthed and stiff all over.

Tian Chengsi pulled up his pants and laughed loudly: "Today, the treacherous prime minister in the court sent people to assassinate us. Thanks to the brothers risking their lives, the General bestowed five hundred bolts of Yanzhi flower-dyed spirit silk, enough for the brothers to wrap up the largest courtyard in this Pingkang Ward and have fun for three days!"

The Lulong Army soldiers under his command cheered in unison, their mouths full of dirty words, and started laughing and making noise.

They laughed wantonly, attracting the disdainful and dissatisfied gazes of the Chang'an scholars and knight-errants nearby, but these soldiers ignored them, as if using this way to vent the negative emotions remaining from the thrilling assassination not long ago.

Tian Chengsi grabbed a thin man who was passing by, who should have been a pimp, and asked: "I ask you, which is the best flower building in this Chang'an?"

The thin man showed a flattering yet fearful smile on his face, which provoked those soldiers to be even more wanton.

They were crooked, dangling, this person slapped, that person kicked, making the thin man almost cry!

But he dared not resist. Just looking at those fierce-looking soldiers, each with a face full of murderous intent, he knew that if he resisted and displeased these lawless killers, a few more unclaimed corpses would appear in the dark culverts of Chang'an every single day.

"The best flower building in Pingkang Ward is, of course, the Hu Yu Building in the South Melody... the Hu Yu Building in the South Melody!" Saying this, the thin man pointed toward the Qu River, and saw a water pavilion leaning against the Qu River, decorated with lanterns and festoons, exceptionally prosperous.

Even from far away, one could feel the intoxicating prosperous dream within it.

Tian Zhen laughed loudly, pulled his sworn brother Tian Chengsi beside him, and shouted: "Hahaha, the General is going to the Great Ming Palace tonight to flatter the Emperor. We brothers can't follow, so tonight we will go and have a good time, and call four or five girls for everyone!"

Tian Chengsi shook his head and smiled: "The girls in Chang'an are very proud in their hearts, and they are all knowledgeable. Big rough guys like us, who don't know poetry and romance, I fear they won't look at us!"

"They dare!" Tian Ganzhen said with a face full of murderous intent, "Can't they just recite a few lines of pretentious poetry? Our brothers have killed enemies for the country, and every one of them is a hero who has personally slain dozens or hundreds of men. If these women in Chang'an City don't know what's good for them, I'll have to show them what's what!"

"I'm afraid you won't let the girls see what looks good before the girls squeeze you dry first!" The killers laughed and started a commotion.

Tian Chengsi sneered and instigated: "The Emperor originally wanted to invite the General to be the prime minister, but the treacherous prime minister Yang Guozhong mocked the General for being illiterate. If he became prime minister, he would be laughed at by the eight directions of the nations! Could it be that our knives are not as good as that scholar's hair-brush?"

Tian Zhen's face was ferocious: "Sooner or later, we will kill that treacherous prime minister!"

The thin man beside him trembled all over, his legs shaking.

"Go! To Hu Yu Building!" Tian Zhen called out, and a group of people let go of the thin man, watching him collapse to the ground, laughing loudly, and rushed into Hu Yu Building.

The thin man collapsed to the ground, looking like he was paralyzed and scared silly...

But on his face, which was turned away from everyone, a strange smile appeared.

He climbed up and drilled into a flower building nearby, where there were many noisy sounds—"Haha... come on! Master!"

Women with fragrance brushed past the thin man.

From the flower building, dozens of men dressed in various ways, scholars, knight-errants, merchants, vendors, and so on, walked out. Their only common point was that they all had a dead, expressionless look. The girls and guests beside them seemed to be unable to see them, continuing to tease.

The flattery on the thin man's face had long since disappeared without a trace.

He said coldly: "Respectfully follow the Zhang Tian Shi's Dharma Edict, as the Tai Shang Edict... Demon-slaying order issued, not a blade of grass left!"

Everyone said in unison: "Water Moon Hidden Building! Respectfully follow the Zhang Tian Shi's Dharma Edict! As the Tai Shang Edict!"

The group of soldiers moved very fast and had already arrived in front of Hu Yu Building. Tian Chengsi saw that there were many nobles coming and going at the main entrance. Thinking of An Lushan's repeated instructions not to cause trouble in Chang'an, he looked for a remote courtyard and kicked a tightly closed door five or six times in a row.

His foot strength was strong, and he almost kicked the door down. From inside the door, anxious shouts immediately came: "This is a private courtyard, honored guests, please go to the main building... gently, the door is about to collapse!"

The big door opened, and a flower girl dressed in flowers and willows poked her head out to look, and was pulled into his arms by Tian Chengsi. She was pale with fright, hitting and knocking, but she only felt pain in her hands when she hit Tian Chengsi's chest, which was refined like fine steel.

Tian Chengsi laughed loudly, hugged her waist, and rushed inside.

"Honored guest, put me down!" The flower girl said in a panic. A group of soldiers rushed inside like bandits. Tian Chengsi put down the flower girl and threw a cat's eye gemstone onto her chest.

The flower girl caught the gemstone in a hurry. Seeing the cat's eye gemstone, which was as clear as the vast sea, with a line of spiritual light shining through it, if one observed it with the Dharma eye, the color of the spiritual light was brilliant, and it was a supreme rank among them. On the pure spiritual energy of the gemstone, however, lingered faint blood qi and resentment.

It was the light goods robbed by Tian Chengsi and others on the way to Chang'an when they casually robbed a team of Arab merchants.

He swept a cold glance, not thinking that the flower girl could see anything.

Sure enough, the flower girl looked at the cat's eye gemstone flashing with essence in her hand, and her eyes widened by two circles. She screamed: "Honored guests, please come in! Yu'er, E'er, come and serve the distinguished guests! I want a table of wine and dishes, military masters, what wine do you love to drink?"

Tian Chengsi hugged her and leaned to her cherry lips, laughing: "I love the honey wine in your mouth the most. Later, you use this mouth to feed me!"

"We have fifteen brothers, you call forty girls!"

The flower girl hesitated: "Forty girls! Military master, you have wrapped me up, that's enough, but other girls also need their own body money!"

Tian Chengsi grabbed a handful of various gemstones and stuffed them into her chest, laughing loudly: "We are people under the Commandery Prince of Dongping, these are just tips. Later, you go to the Commandery Prince's mansion to settle the money. With the Commandery Prince's handwriting, will he be short of you?"

"Today's girls, double the color head!"

………………

This flower hall in the small courtyard had already been tidied up. It was full of Lulong Army captains in official uniforms. This place was a bit small, and dozens of people sat full. Many girls could only sit on the men's laps.

Several women in gorgeous Hu clothes danced the "Zhezhi Dance" to the sound of drums.

The flower girl's dance posture was rich in changes, both vigorous and bright, and graceful and beautiful. The dance sleeves were sometimes drooping and sometimes raised, which was the beauty of the poem "The sleeves are raised with drums, and the eyes are tilted back to the gorgeous rafters."

The flower girl stepped quickly and complexly, her boots stepping on the soft couch, making the golden bells on her head and body make a crisp sound, echoing the drum sound. The light and soft dance posture made the soldiers from Hebei stare without blinking.

"Chang'an is truly the Divine Capital of Heaven!"

Tian Chengsi drank the mellow wine sent by the flower girl beside him, the wine like amber night light, rippling in the jade cup.

It made all the Lulong Army people here drunk.

Tian Chengsi's heart was stirred with strong ambition and greed. Such a beautiful Chang'an, such a prosperous Divine Capital, why didn't it belong to him? Why did he have to return to that bloody, desolate, and dirty Hebei full of Khitan and Xi people?

He vaguely felt some things that An Lushan had not said. At this time, the flame of greed burned fiercely in his heart.

Tian Zhen beside him stood up, dancing around the most beautiful flower girl, his footsteps dancing with the urgent pipa and drum beats. He sometimes flew and jumped like a nimble bird, and sometimes stepped on urgent and changeable stepping dance steps like a strong galloping horse.

An Lushan's body was fat, but he danced a wonderful Hu Teng dance. He was usually in a state of difficulty sitting and lying, only when he was on the battlefield to kill and dancing the Hu Teng dance did he reveal agile and unbelievable skills.

His subordinates were of course also proficient in the Hu Teng dance.

Tian Zhen, accompanied by the horizontal flute, pipa, and jie drum played nearby, flew and jumped, accompanied by the turning Zhezhi dance, miraculously fused strength and softness, bravery and enchantment, ferocity and auspiciousness, and various conflicting temperaments, integrating into the prosperity of this flourishing age.

At this time, the music of the flower girl accompanying nearby changed. The original enthusiastic dance music suddenly carried a trace of illusion and enchantment.

Perhaps it was the wine, perhaps it was the illusion brought by this dance, Tian Chengsi felt that the noise, commotion, and teasing around him were gradually pulled away, turning into a faint sense of illusion. This dizziness like being half-drunk made his eyes somewhat dim.

At this time, he seemed unable to hear the laughter coming from Hu Yu Building in the distance...

The surroundings seemed to become very quiet, and even the sounds around him became faint...

"I seem to be a bit drunk!"

Tian Chengsi saw that Tian Zhen, who was dancing, also showed a drunken look. At this time, the shadows of everyone swaying in the lamp light twisted into various strange shapes. An older flower girl walked over slowly with a golden goblet. Her shadow projected on the screen, and six swaying tails appeared behind the shadow!

Tian Chengsi was shocked in his heart and opened his eyes suddenly, but found that all this suddenly returned to normal.

But in his illusion demon eyes, the flower girls who were originally mediocre in cultivation, and had not even established a foundation, only practicing some miscellaneous nourishing methods to produce some mixed internal qi, and the wine qi, fragrance, and the illusion brought by this singing and dancing were constantly gathering towards them.

In his illusion demon eyes, those flower girls who leaned on his soldiers and let them take advantage of them constantly, all revealed cultivation bases not inferior to them.

This method of hiding cultivation was exactly the secret method of the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect—

"Flowing Yin and Yang, Harmonizing the Six Voids!"

Spreading one's own cultivation true qi into the void, combining with heaven and earth to generate yin and yang, oneself is yin, and true qi is yang. Using one's own yin eye to adsorb the scattered yang qi, forming a yin-yang fish swimming in heaven and earth.

Originally, this was a dual cultivation secret method, spreading the true qi of both men and women into the void, using their own soul as the eye of the yin-yang fish, and the scattered qi as yin and yang qi. Surrounding the yin-yang fish eye and rotating like Taiji, both sides' true qi and soul dual cultivate, but do not let the true yin and true yang be contaminated with mixed qi.

It was a very superior dual cultivation method.

But after the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect deviated into the side sect, this dual cultivation secret method also gradually deviated, becoming a pure harvesting method of using oneself as the yin eye, using the emptiness in the body after spreading true qi, adopting pure yang true yang qi, and then returning the true qi to the body, melting yang qi. It became a pure harvesting method.

The Yin-Yang Harmony Sect also fled into the side sect because of this.

Now, the true qi of the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect members covered the small courtyard, turning into countless soul-destroying yin-yang fish, intertwined, attached to the wine, fragrance, music, and even the qi machine. They stole the origin true qi of the Lulong Army crowd.

At the same time, they also used the emptiness of their own true qi to disguise themselves as ordinary people with low cultivation.

Even Tian Chengsi's illusion demon eyes couldn't see it...

This secret method was extremely strange. After the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect members spread their true qi, if they didn't take it back, they would be like ordinary people, with no power to fight back. A warrior with low cultivation could kill them. Therefore, many Yin-Yang Harmony Sect female cultivators died confusedly in the hands of people much weaker than themselves.

But after stealing other people's qi machine, they could also use their own soul-destroying true qi to swallow their origin...

Now, the true qi of the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect members, flowing yin and yang, harmonizing the six voids, had turned into a huge tripod furnace, covering the entire small courtyard, the yin-yang fish like a furnace and a mill, refining the stolen qi machine, and slowly returning to their bodies.

So at this time, Tian Chengsi could see the impropriety!

The dance between Tian Zhen and the flower girl had reached its climax. When the Zhezhi dance was about to end, there was a deep waist-bending action. The flower girl bent down towards Tian Zhen, and Tian Zhen reached out to support her. At this time, Tian Chengsi jumped up suddenly, reaching for the waist knife placed not far away.

He overturned the low couch and table in front of him. Tian Zhen was shocked: "Chengsi, what are you doing?"

The charming flower girl stretched out her hand and touched his collarbone, saying: "You were discovered!"

"He is... running for his life!"

Her five fingers, which were repaired long and long, suddenly gathered around Tian Zhen's throat. The pipa in the musician's hand was plucked like thunder, and her hands manifested heavy shadows on the pipa, setting off a climax like a wild wolf, pouncing on the waist knife. Tian Chengsi, who was about to activate the magic treasure on his body, suddenly felt his dantian empty and his body weak, falling to the ground powerlessly halfway through the jump.

He rolled away, avoiding a dagger stabbed into his chest by a flower girl who was smiling and talking.

The blade sank into the soft couch, and Tian Chengsi frantically rushed out of the small building.

The Lulong Army captains in the small building, who were hugging left and right, discovered that the beauties beside them had become people who wanted their lives. The long sleeves, ribbons, and colorful silks on the women beside them suddenly shot out, entangling them.

The flower girls in their arms turned around and pulled out the hairpins on their heads, inserting them into their chests.

Amidst the screams of this group of Lulong Army elites, whose cultivation bases were originally extremely powerful, their hearts were dug out.

Tian Zhen's throat had been pulled out alive by the woman who was leaning in his arms. This demon cultivator at the Core Formation realm sprayed blood from his throat, carrying pink bubbles.

The woman stood up and split his chest, revealing his pink heart and lungs.

She wiped the blood on her hands and whispered: "So the demon lord's blood... is also bright red!"

The flower girl who was holding the golden goblet and looked more mature had six fluffy snow-white fox tails swaying under her skirt.

She held the golden goblet, cut open Tian Zhen's heart with the white jade hairpin on her head, took out the essence blood from his heart, and dripped it into the golden goblet.

The blood color rippled in the amber light, turning into red light like blood amber!

The flower girl raised the golden goblet and said: "Respectfully follow the Tai Shang Edict... Xin family fox clan, behead the demon here!"

After saying that, she swung the silver knife in her sleeve and chopped off the head of the dying Tian Zhen.

In the small courtyard of Hu Yu Building, the group of musicians and flower girls had solemn faces, and all bowed: "Respectfully follow the Tai Shang Edict, demon-slaying order issued, not a blade of grass left! Exterminate the demons, save the world without mercy! Respect the Louguan Qian Patriarch, respect the Tang Saint Third Prince!"

They threw the blood wine in their hands onto the ground... to sacrifice to Chang'an, to sacrifice to Luoyang, to sacrifice to Jiankang, to sacrifice to that ancient demon calamity of the past...

Then they turned their hands to condense blood into knives.

In the small building, knives danced, and heads fell to the ground...

Tian Chengsi burned his essence blood, rushed out of the restriction covering the small courtyard, and fled frantically toward the distance. His dantian was empty of origin, but the magic treasures on his body were not lacking in fine goods, many of which were refined with thousands or tens of thousands of human lives.

He was wrapped in a layer of blood light, ignoring the hidden dangers of burning essence blood, broke through the restriction covering the small courtyard, and fell into the Qu River like a meteor. ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
