MTL - Be a Salted Fish In the Harem Text-Chapter 41 041
In the city of mending the sky.
Mu Sheng followed Tu Shan Liuyue into a towering and majestic mansion. Hearing the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from inside, Mu Sheng's brows could not help but frown tightly. They entered through the side door, and there were not many people around. After thinking for a while, Mu Sheng grabbed Tu Shanliuyue and asked suspiciously, "Is it really possible to get news from this place?"
Tu Shanliuyue looked back at Mu Sheng, and said seriously: "Of course, it's just—" She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You have to pay a little price."
Mu Sheng frowned and said, "What price?" The whole mansion was brightly lit, and the melodious sound lingered in the air for a long time. Mu Sheng had an intuition that this was not a good place, so he stopped and stabilized his figure.
"This is equivalent to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord is the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King." Tu Shanliuyue had a showdown, and she said, "You should know what the Demon King represents, right? You need his help, so naturally you have to please him first. "
The City Lord's Mansion of the Demon King? Mu Sheng's eyelids twitched. She heard that the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King had arrested someone in the Butian Pavilion, and she was about to inquire about some news. Now that she was "on the wrong side", she couldn't retreat. "How is your relationship with the City Lord's Mansion?" Mu Sheng asked.
Tu Shanliuyue thought for a while, and replied, "It's so-so."
Mu Sheng nodded and understood what Tu Shanliuyue meant. If she speaks so-so, there may be a discount. "Then do you know what kind of monster the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King is?"
Tu Shanliuyue didn't hesitate this time, and immediately responded: "It's the demon king's shame not to think about making progress, but to be immersed in music all day long." Seeing Mu Sheng looking at her in amazement, Tu Shanliuyue said again, " This is not what I said, it is the judgment of my mentor."
Before Mu Sheng could ask, she proudly said: "My benefactor is the left envoy of the Demon Court!"
The left envoy of the demon court? The name "Lv Wuhen" suddenly appeared in Mu Sheng's mind! She suddenly thought of Achou. Recently, she was busy inquiring about the news of her senior sister, and forgot that Achou was also in the demon court. While following Tu Shan Liuyue forward, she inquired: "Fellow Taoist Tu Shan, where do the iron-eating beasts in the demon clan live?"
Tu Shanliuyue raised her eyebrows and said, "What's there to inquire about about the Black and White Tuanzi? They don't have a fixed residence, and the number is too small, so they can hardly be touched near the royal court."
"Then have you ever heard of a cub named Achou?" Mu Sheng asked again.
Tu Shanliuyue shook her head and said: "I don't know." After a pause, he glanced at Mu Sheng again, "I advise you to stop thinking about catching an iron-eating beast as a spiritual pet, let's not say that this clan has hundreds of people. No cubs were born in 2019. Just because your thoughts are known by the demon clan, it is enough for you to drink a pot." She has seen a lot of human monks, and some people like to deceive some ignorant and cute people from the demon realm. Cubs, be their arms.
Mu Sheng was taken aback by "there have been no monster cubs born in hundreds of years", so how did Achou come here? Could it be that they were living outside? So Tu Shan Liuyue didn't know its name? But it was clearly taken away by Lu Wuhen, so it should be extremely important, right? Mu Sheng's mood was fluctuating, and Tu Shanliuyue had already led her into a treasure pavilion with flowing lights. "You wait here. Someone will call you when the time comes. Whether you are asked to play the piano or dance, you just have to respond. Don't worry about the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King. He will help you after your performance is over." You inquired about the news." After a pause, Tu Shanliuyue ordered again, "There is one more thing you have to remember, the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King was cultivated by the colorful pheasant, and he is most taboo about words like 'chicken'. "
"What about you?" Seeing that Tu Shanliuyue was about to leave, Mu Sheng hurriedly asked.
Tu Shanliuyue turned her head and smiled at Mu Sheng, "I am the honored guest."
Mu Sheng: "..." If you can get news from the senior sister, "performing" is also worthwhile. In Butian City, there are monster clans whose cultivation level is higher than the gas transformation stage, and this demon king's cultivation level has reached the distraction stage. If you really want to do something about her, you don't need to spend so much trouble.
People were brought over by Tu Shanliuyue, so they are naturally different from others. After Tu Shanliuyue left, she didn't go to the front hall, but caught Hei Yi who was guarding the side, and gave him thousands of warnings. Hei Yi nodded, and the phrase "Your mentor is here" stayed on his lips after all.
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King in Butian City is the most at ease, there is a banquet in the mansion once every three to five days, if he just "enjoys it", that's all, and he often passes invitations to the other Demon King's mansions. Of course, his posts were ignored most of the time. I didn't expect that this time the demon court really came, and it was Lord Lu Wuhen, the confidant next to the empress! The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King came out to greet him in person, with an extremely courteous smile on his face.
Lu Wuhen inquired indifferently: "I heard that you hired human musicians?"
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King nodded, and said with a smile: "This time, thanks to the help of little friend Tu Shan, she picked up the human musician. I heard that he is also an alchemist." He didn't notice Lu Wuhen's face, He also sighed with emotion, "It's still a human monk who has developed comprehensively!"
Lu Wuhen's eyes suddenly turned cold, she ignored the emotion of the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Tu Shan Liuyue?!" There were two disciples under her seat, and the eldest disciple Ruoye was in a hurry. I'm busy, I went to Dengwen Secret Realm to practice a while ago, and the little disciple disappeared all day, but I didn't expect to come to Butian City! As soon as her expression became cold, the air pressure around her body also dropped. The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King finally came back to his senses, he shuddered, and said with an apologetic smile: "Do you need to invite little friend Tu Shan?"
"No—" before the remaining words "must be" were uttered, they were interrupted by Tu Shanliuyue's trembling exclamation.
"Master, Master?"
Tu Shanliuyue was terribly frightened, she didn't expect her mentor to come to Butian Pavilion! She knew that the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King would send posts to the Demon Court, but under normal circumstances no one would come! Her complexion changed very quickly, and she knelt down and saluted Lu Wuhen: "Liu Yue has seen Master."
"Why haven't your skills improved? Are you still at the Golden Core?" Lu Wuhen looked critically at the kneeling disciple.
Tu Shan Liuyue couldn't even force a smile, she slandered: Isn't senior sister also a golden elixir? But in front of Lu Wuhen, how dare she say a word?
"Get up." Lu Wuhen flicked her sleeves abruptly, she stared at Tu Shanliuyue and said, "What's the name of the human monk you picked up?"
Tu Shanliuyue also knew that she couldn't hide the fact that she picked up a human race from her mentor Fayan, so she said immediately: "Ying Wuchou, he's a casual cultivator."
Should there be no worries? This name Lu Wuhen had never heard of. Didn't Liuyue pick it up? Where else did the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King meet the human monks? Her news is that Mu Sheng is also among them. Maybe she changed her name? Lu Wuhen's eyes fell on the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King, and she could tell that the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King was covered in cold sweat. He always felt that he had to say something, so he cleared his throat and said, "Master Zuo Shi, please enter the hall and sit down."
Lu Wuhen flicked his sleeves, and followed the footsteps of the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King calmly.
The people sitting in the hall were all famous monster clans in Butian City. Seeing Lu Wuhen at this moment, they got up suddenly and knocked over the small table and the wine cup. Lu Wuhen's cold gaze swept forward, almost frightening the group of guys to show their original shape. It was the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King who rushed forward and ordered the attendants to clean up, so as not to let them disturb Lu Wuhen's elegant mood.
Lu Wuhen sat on the top table, and tapped her fingers on the small table, making a crisp sound. She was not very interested in singing and dancing, and to her, it was a scene of a group of monsters dancing wildly. The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King squinted his eyes, looking intoxicated, and even commented a few words from time to time. He treated these dancers very generously, as long as they won his favor, they would be rewarded generously.
Tu Shan Liuyue originally came to enjoy the singing and dancing, but there was Lu Wuhen in the seat, how could she dare to watch directly? Even the finger resting on the wine cup trembled, for fear of a thunderbolt falling.
"That's all?" Lu Wuhen pressed the center of his brows, with a hint of impatience on his face.
Seeing her unhappy face, the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King thought that she didn't like the performance of these people, so he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Back off, next one!"
The flustered dancers filed out, followed by a female cultivator in Tsing Yi who entered the Dharma Hall. Tu Shanliuyue took a sneak peek, then mouthed to Mu Sheng who entered the hall, "Fellow Taoist". Lu Wuhen had no time to pay attention to Tu Shanliuyue, the original inaccurate thing was confirmed, and the person whom the Empress wanted to take care of really fell into Butian City. She frowned and looked at the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King, only to find that his eyes were staring straight.
Lu Wuhen reached out and tapped the small table.
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King came back to his senses, the admiration in his eyes was not less. As if afraid of disturbing the beauty, he said softly, "What is this beauty planning to perform?"
Mu Sheng came here with the qin on his back, but before she could speak, Lu Wuhen said in a deep voice, "Give her a sword." Most of the disciples of the Tianyan Sect practice the way of the sword, and this sword dance should not be difficult for her.
"Sword Dance!" The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King suddenly realized, "Sword Dance is like traveling electricity, lingering and returning with the wind. Good, good!"
Mu Sheng raised her eyes, her gaze passed over the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King, but fixedly landed on Lu Wuhen's body. I must have been recognized by my undisguised appearance, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to ask Ah Chou about it. Mu Sheng expelled the messy thoughts in her mind, reached out and took the magic sword handed by the attendant, and she asked loudly: "After the sword dance, will the demon king allow me to do something?"
"Yun Yunyun!" The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King responded again and again, as if fascinated.
Lu Wuhen didn't like the appearance of the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King. Suddenly, she noticed a very familiar aura coming towards her, she was overjoyed immediately, and then glanced at the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King with pity. .
Mu Sheng was relieved when he heard the words of the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King, and since Lu Wuhen is here, because of Achou's relationship, she shouldn't go too far. The long sword in his hand shone with a dignified light, and the flowing light surrounded his body like stars, moving with Mu Sheng's graceful figure. The stream of lights in the temple intersects with the sword light, while the wind outside blows bursts of red, white and white petals through the window, sending the fragrance into the hall in an instant. The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King and the spectators below hurriedly clapped their hands and applauded, but Jian Guang froze at this moment, and the tip of the sword touched the floating petals, instantly turning them into several petals, flying all over the sky with the aura.
Mu Sheng only learned sword art in Tian Yanzong. As for sword dance, she had never touched it before, but for some reason, the moment she held the sword, that feeling seemed to come out of her heart, as if she had seen it before. She performed the same sword dance, and she imitated it all at this moment. The tip of the sword broke through the petals, stained with a little redness, and suddenly there was a figure in red in front of him, Mu Sheng's wrist flicked suddenly, and the tip of the sword stopped just as it was about to touch the mask of that person.
There was no sound in the hall.
If Mu Sheng looked carefully, he could find that the monsters in the seat were trembling, as if they could not control their figures.
Lu Wuhen came back to her senses the fastest, she was just about to speak, when the Empress raised her hand and stopped her words. At this moment, all the wind, flowers, snow and moon in the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King's mind dissipated, and the rusty mind finally began to turn. Just as he was about to kneel down to greet him, Lu Wuhen said via voice transmission: "Don't expose the identity of the Lord." The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King fell back between the seats, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Mu Sheng's gaze intersected with the deep eyes of the person in front of him, and then he retracted it. Silver-haired and red-clothed—she doesn't have a good impression of people like this, and she always thinks of that absurd dream in the past when she sees them. She didn't think too much about it, she just thought it was a certain powerful person whom the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King had befriended, so she took the magic sword away and said, "Sorry." After a pause, she turned to the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King again. , "Can the demon king keep his promise?"
Still promise? The scarlet phoenix demon king was almost scared to death by her actions. You must know that the grass on the grave of the person who pointed his sword at the door in the past is several feet high. He took a deep breath, and was about to reprimand Mu Sheng, but a coercion that made his mind tremble came over again. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lu Wuhen nodding his head. After a moment of astonishment, he responded, "What do you want?"
Mu Sheng looked directly at the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King and said, "I heard that the Demon King has captured several human races, can you let me see them?"
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King frowned. He didn't care about the few human races, but now that those people have arrived, he can't be allowed to make decisions. It wasn't until he got Lv Wuhen's instruction that he nodded and ordered his subordinates to go to the jail to arrest him. A quarter of an hour later, the attendant came back in a hurry and said in a trembling voice, "All the people and the human race have run away?!"
"What?" The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King raised his voice.
Lu Wuhen glanced at the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King with a half-smile, and said, "It seems that the Butian City has become a sieve?"
The Scarlet Phoenix Demon King secretly thought about his bad luck. In fact, there are such things in every city, but it happened that he had the worst luck and was bumped into by that one. "This king will pursue it personally." He ground his teeth, and immediately turned into a stream of light and flew away. As soon as the Scarlet Phoenix Demon King left, the entire hall became even more depressed. The food and drink were no longer delicious, and the monsters in the seat couldn't even laugh. One of the monsters had an idea and said, "I'll help Chifeng." Then , all of them made excuses and left, leaving only Lu Wuhen, the female cultivator in red, and Tu Shanliuyue who wanted to stuff herself into the cracks in the ground.
"Senior Wuhen." Mu Sheng raised his arm towards Lv Wuhen and said politely.
Tu Shanliuyue stared at Mu Sheng, her eyes were about to pop out, obviously she couldn't believe that she knew her mentor.
Lu Wuhen nodded, looked into the Empress's eyes, then looked at Mu Sheng, and asked, "You want to ask about the whereabouts of Achou?"
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Exactly."
Lu Wuhen lied without changing his face: "She is practicing in the clan land, and she is in a very good condition now."
Mu Sheng frowned and said, "I can't see Ah Chou, can I?"
Lu Wuhen hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right."
"It doesn't matter if you stop your practice, what's not visible?" the red-clothed female cultivator said suddenly, her voice clear.
Mu Sheng looked at her in surprise, but the other party didn't even give her a look, as if he just spoke casually, as for the result, she didn't deserve her concern.
Lu Wuhen was very speechless, the empress even spoke, what else could she do? After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can rest assured to wait for the news at the City Lord's Mansion. I will take Achou over tomorrow."
"No." Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I still want to find my senior sister." Achou walked so resolutely that day, maybe she might not be willing to see her, since she has no fate, she will disappear. But Senior Sister Wen is from the same sect. In the past, she protected her a lot, but now her whereabouts are unknown, so she can't be left alone.
Lu Wuhen remained silent, she glanced at the Empress, this matter can only be resolved by the Lord himself.
The Empress of Ghost Prison suddenly said: "The Yaoyu is not big, and it is not small. Finding someone is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack."
Mu Sheng looked optimistic: "I have a thread with my senior sister. I lost my perception for some reason before. When the senior sister settles down, I can find it."
Lu Wuhen was very surprised when he heard the words, he didn't expect that the Empress even gave this thing to use.
"Then I wish you success." After the Ghost Prison Empress finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves. Before Mu Sheng came back to his senses, a gust of wind carried her out, and standing beside her was Tu Shanliuyue who was like a monk who couldn't figure it out.
In the hall, after the crowd dispersed, Lu Wuhen became respectful, she looked at the Ghost Prison Empress and said, "My lord, Yue Zhenguan over there—"
The Queen of Ghost Prison said with her hands behind her back: "There is no Yue Zhenguan in Kyushu, and the boundary marker has fallen. You order someone to completely include that part of the area in my demon domain."
It stands to reason that the power of the cave realm will definitely shake the earth when it fights, and it can move mountains and seas with a single gesture. But Yue Zhenguan's defeat here was too fast, and he couldn't wait for other Taoist masters to help, and Yue Zhenguan fell. And with the fall of the boundary monument, Yue Zhenguan's territory was swallowed up by the demon court, and there is a high probability that it will not be taken back.
"The one who says to do it is really willful and reckless." Mu Chaoshi of Tianjimen looked in the direction of Yaoting from a distance, his face was really ugly. The divination of Taixian Tiangui has already had the result, and it is confirmed that the space tunnel leads to the demon realm. If the matter here is not handled well, it may implicate that group of disciples.
"If she wasn't self-willed, would she still be the Empress of Ghost Prison?" Demon Lord Beizhu sneered, stroking the wrench on his finger with a gloomy expression. If it weren't for his daughter's whereabouts, he wouldn't have expected Kyushu to take care of these messy things.
"The demon court destroyed Yue Zhenguan, I'm afraid I have to give an explanation to my colleagues from the Taoist sect."
"Confession?" Mu Chaoshi sneered and said, "It's their own fault."
What is the cultivation level of that empress? She could easily kill the cave of Yue Zhenguan, but what about the other caves of Shangxuan Sect? Is it just to be beheaded if you touch it? Such worries lingered in the heart of Xuanmen and even the devil. Unless they join forces to crush the demon court, otherwise they can only suffer this dark loss this time. But now that the current situation in Kyushu is turbulent, it is impossible for them to fight the Yaozu again if they want to clear up the evil atmosphere.
A monk of Taiyi Sect said: "Yue Zhenguan can ignore it, but the demon court has taken all those land boundaries? You must know that Yue Zhenguan has collected a lot of precious mines and treasures by taking advantage of Dongtian Daoist's power. Spiritual pulse." This time Taiyi Sect also sent disciples into the Dengwen Secret Realm, but fortunately, they were not taken away by the collapsed space, but all returned to the sect. Therefore, the elders don't care much about the other Taoist cultivators in the demon court, whether they let them go or kill them, it has nothing to do with them.
"Who's going to talk?" North Candle Demon Lord asked impatiently.
For a while, everyone fell into silence. If possible, no one wants to have contact with the Demon Court.
"Amitabha, poor monk, go." A young monk in a yellow and white cassock stood up. Venerable Tan Guang, one of the three.
In Kyushu, Buddhism can be regarded as impartial, and rarely competes with Xuanmen, Demon Gate, etc. He took the initiative to stand up, and the rest of the people did not have much objection.
On the contrary, the Demon Lord Beizhu snorted twice and said: "The Buddhist monks are better looking than the other. I heard that the Queen of Ghost Prison has no master in the harem, maybe—" the rest of his words came to an abrupt end under Venerable Tan Guang's benevolent gaze. .
In the Bamboo Heart Palace.
The Empress of Ghost Prison supported Xia Yi with one hand, frowning and staring at the unrepaired puppet incarnation. As soon as she injected her spirit into it, it showed signs of collapse. Mu Sheng over there was waiting for the senior sister and couldn't wait any longer. If there was really no other way, she could just go straight ahead for a while.
Just as she was thinking about the remedy, Lv Wuhen brought a message, saying that Venerable Tan Guang from the Buddhist sect was asking to see her.
"That old bald man from the Buddhist sect? Was he tricked by the Taoist sect to become a lobbyist?" The Ghost Prison Empress sneered, too lazy to see anyone. Now Yue Zhenguan's territory has been merged into the demon domain, and if it is in her hands, no one can take it away. Just as she was about to send Lu Wuhen away, the Empress of Ghost Prison suddenly remembered something, and her eyes as she stared at the puppet incarnation seemed to have a ripple.
"You tell him that we can use the current delimiting monument as a boundary, and within a hundred years, my demon court will not take the initiative to invade Kyushu. But—"
Lu Wuhen pricked up his ears and listened carefully: "But how?"
"But they provoked all of this. They can't do whatever they want me to do, right? You tell Tan Guang that if he is really sincere, he can exchange it with a wisp of holy lotus energy."
Lu Wuhen hesitated for a moment and said: "But Xuanmen's request is to take back Yue Zhenguan's territory."
The Queen of Ghost Prison sneered and said, "Does this seat still have the obligation to help them realize their dreams? Kyushu is in such a mess right now that I have no time to deal with my Demon Court." After a pause, she continued, "One more condition, four My demon court doesn't need to send disciples to fight for this artifact."
"The price is too high. Didn't you always want four artifacts?" Lu Wuhen didn't expect to hear such words, so he couldn't help asking eagerly.
"Disciple disciples don't need to fight." The Queen of Ghost Prison smiled, her eyes were cold, and she said, "I will go by myself." She had a hunch that if the four artifacts fell into the hands of Xuanmen, they would be given to herself and to the demon. The family brought a great disaster.
Green Wuhen: "..."
