Chapter 129 The Wine Sword Immortal
Chapter 129 The Wine Sword Immortal
At this time, a servant came running over to report that a drunk Taoist priest was found outside and could not be driven away no matter how hard they tried.
Li Xiaoyao thought of something and said, "Could it be..." Then Li Xiaoyao ran out with the servant, and everyone followed him except Lin Yueru.
When they ran outside the mansion, they saw a Taoist priest who looked to be about fifty years old, dressed in wet green clothes, carrying a long sword on his back, with a wine gourd on his waist, unshaven and drunken face, lying outside the mansion gate.
Li Xiaoyao leaned forward, took a closer look, and shouted, "Master! It's really you!"
Zhao Linger and Anu were stunned and asked, "Is this your master?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Yes, he is my master, the Drunken Sword Immortal. He looks like he drank quite a bit again. Hurry up and get the hangover soup!"
After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, the Drunken Sword Immortal slowly sobered up. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Oh, it's you. Why are you here?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Master, how did you become like this?"
The Drunken Swordsman said, "Let me think... (patted his forehead) Oh, I remember now. Yesterday, I was drinking at the Hongbinlou in the capital, and I was thrown out because I couldn't pay for the drinks. Then I slipped and fell into the water."
Zhao Linger and Anu were speechless when they heard this. The Drunken Swordsman was about to pour more wine when Li Xiaoyao said, "Master, stop drinking! Something terrible has happened!"
The Drunken Swordsman said with disdain, "What big deal can happen?"
Li Xiaoyao shouted, "Someone broke into the Demon Locking Tower!"
Upon hearing the words 'Demon Locking Tower', the remaining drunkenness of the Drunken Sword Immortal disappeared instantly, and he shouted, "What did you say!?"
At this time, Lin Yueru came out with a package on her back and said, "Aunt Yun, Brother Li, I'm leaving. I'm going to the Demon Locking Tower!"
The Drunken Sword Immortal said, "Why, it's you who wants to break into the Demon Locking Tower!"
Because Lin Yueru didn't know the identity of the Drunken Sword Immortal, she said, "I'm in a bad mood right now, so don't mess with me, you drunk old man."
Zhao Linger said, "Sister Yueru, please be quiet. He is Brother Xiaoyao's master.
(Looking at Jiu Jianxian) Senior Jiu Jianxian, Sister Yueru is in a bad mood right now. Please forgive me for any impoliteness.
Li Xiaoyao said, "It's not her. The person who broke into the Demon Locking Tower is probably already inside."
Li Xiaoyao was not wrong. The night before, Lin Shen used the Leaping Technique to reach the outskirts of the Demon Locking Tower.
Lin Shen looked up and saw a tower that was dozens of feet high and more than ten feet wide. At first glance, it looked no different from the pagodas in other temples, except that there was an iron chain at each of the four corners leading directly to the ground, and there were no less than a hundred talismans stuck on the tower.
At this time, Lin Shen remembered that there was a Bagua formation behind the Demon Locking Tower, and he could enter the Demon Locking Tower through the Bagua formation. So he walked around the Demon Locking Tower and found the Bagua formation.
Lin Shen stepped on it, and sure enough, a white light flashed. When Lin Shen opened his eyes, he found himself in the Demon Locking Tower.
After hearing what Li Xiaoyao said, the Drunken Swordsman said, "That's too much! There are many powerful demons in there. Even the Shushan disciples may not be able to come out alive. Why...why don't you stop them?"
Zhao Linger handed the farewell letter written by Lin Shen to Jiu Jianxian and said, "Brother Anos left in the middle of the night. We were already asleep at that time.
And for some reason, we slept very soundly last night. If Anu hadn't been yelling outside, we would probably still be asleep."
The Drunken Sword Immortal glanced at Li Xiaoyao and the others and said, "You have been put to sleep by someone, so of course you can't wake up."
Li Xiaoyao said, "He's really thoughtful in preventing us from catching up with him."
Anu said, "Then why am I okay?"
The Drunken Swordsman looked Anu up and down and said, "You must have played with poisonous insects a lot, so you have some resistance. That's why you woke up faster than them."
The Drunken Swordsman looked at the letter and was puzzled by the fact that Lin Yueru would die in the Demon Locking Tower. He said, "This... Is Anos so powerful? How could he know that Miss Lin would die in the Demon Locking Tower?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Actually, that Anos is not from this time and space. He traveled here from another time and space. He knows everything that happened according to the original story line.
According to the original story line, Ling'er would be mistaken for a demon and captured in the Demon Locking Tower.
Yueru and I forced our way into the Demon Locking Tower for Ling'er's sake, but the back of the tower collapsed, and Yueru died inside.
The Drunken Sword Immortal said, "That's not right. Isn't Miss Zhao here well? Why would he go to the Demon Locking Tower?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Actually, before, at the foot of Toad Mountain, Ling'er was mistakenly taken away by the people of Shu Mountain as a snake demon. It was Anos who arrived in time and saved Ling'er.
And Senior Dugu also cleared Ling'er's name. She...she is a descendant of Nuwa, not a demon."
At this time, Liu Jinyuan, Caiyi, Aunt Yun and Jiu Jianxian were all stunned. Liu Jinyuan said, "What! Miss Zhao, you are the descendant of the ancient gods!?"
Zhao Linger nodded. Li Xiaoyao continued, "Anos is going to the Demon Locking Tower this time because he wants to find a sword in the tower."
The Drunken Swordsman was puzzled and said, "Sword!? I remember there shouldn't be any swords in the Demon Locking Tower, only the Demon Sword and the Demon-Suppressing Sword. But they have all been taken away.
Could it be that I haven't been back to Shushan for so long that something has happened that I don't know about? No, I have to go back and ask the headmaster brother.
Li Xiaoyao said, "Then let's set off quickly. If we're late, we don't know what will happen to Anos."
The Drunken Swordsman said, "Why should I drag you along?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "Because... because Anos is a very important companion of ours! We can't watch him take risks alone!"
Lin Yueru said, "Brother Li..."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Yes, when he first came, I didn't deal with him very well, and even resented him a little, but that's all in the past.
Ever since that time in Wuyou Village, when I learned about my original future, I realized that he was doing this for our own good. I also accepted him and he is my good brother!"
The Drunken Swordsman was confused after hearing this. After a while he said, "Okay, I'll take you to Mount Shu."
Anu said, "But how do we get there?"
The Drunken Swordsman said, "That's not easy to do."
After saying this, the Drunken Sword Immortal untied the wine gourd from his waist and began to chant a spell. The wine gourd quickly grew larger. The Drunken Sword Immortal jumped up and stood on it, saying, "You guys come up too."
Li Xiaoyao and the others nodded. Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger and Anu also climbed onto the gourd and sat on it.
Just as Lin Yueru was about to go up, Liu Jinyuan said, "Sister Ru, do you want to go too?"
Lin Yueru said, "Brother Liu, I must go."
Liu Jinyuan said, "You know you might lose your life, but you still want to go?"
Lin Yueru said, "I know what I am doing."
Liu Jinyuan said, "When you see Anos, tell him that if he dares to do you wrong, you will see how my wife and I will deal with him."
Lin Yueru laughed and said, "I know, he doesn't dare." After that, Lin Yueru also climbed onto the gourd.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Drunken Swordsman said, "Sit down, let's go!"
After saying that, the Drunken Swordsman began to chant an incantation, and the wine gourd floated up. When it floated to about a hundred meters from the ground, the Drunken Swordsman shouted "Fast!" again, and the wine gourd flew towards the direction of Shushan.
Aunt Yun returned home after seeing the Drunken Swordsman fly far away. Liu Jinyuan and Caiyi held hands and kept looking in the direction they went.
