Cranes and Blazing Sun - C11

When Zhang Lei and Zhang Mo arrived at the town, it was already dusk. Lei Qiuting’s stomach couldn’t help but growl as she looked at Zhang Qingyun embarrassedly, “Brother Yun, are you hungry? Let’s go eat something first and then go find the painter.”

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, “Yes, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.”

The two of them walked into an Elegant Luck Inn. As soon as they entered, the waiter came out and greeted them, “Please come in, do you want to eat or live in the inn?”

Zhang Qingyun found a table and sat down, saying, “I’m starving, let’s have something to eat first.”

The waitress asked, “What do you two want to eat?”

Zhang Qingyun thought about it and said, “I really don’t know how to order this. Tingting, why don’t you order it?”

Lei Qiuting said, “Alright then. I won’t be polite. Just give me four dishes. First, a phoenix egg, then a fried tiger tail, then a plate of Wandering Dragons and a beautiful moon.”

The waiter responded and entered the inner room. Zhang Qingyun was stunned when he heard this and couldn’t help but ask, “Tingting, what did you order?”

Lei Qiuting said, “What I ordered was ordinary food.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “Ordinary dishes? I’ve never heard of any of them. Your dishes are so random. If I let you take it seriously, then wouldn’t all the immortals in the sky be chosen by you?”

Lei Qiuting smiled and said, “How could I be so harmful? You’ll know soon enough.”

Not long after, the waiter brought over four plates, “Dear guest, your phoenix egg, cauda tigers, and roaming dragons and phoenixes, all in good shape. All four dishes, please enjoy. ”

Lei Qiuting grinned and said, “This plate of eggs is called the phoenix egg, it’s just that it’s wrapped in minced meat. But it’s very tasty. Big Brother Yun, compensate it. ”

Zhang Qingyun picked up an egg and placed it in his mouth, feeling very tender and smooth, he couldn’t help but say, “It’s really tasty, but the name is a little weird. It’s just that there’s some minced meat in the middle of an egg, so how did it become a phoenix egg? I thought it was a real phoenix egg.”

Lei Zhaoting said, “Let’s try out this Jaguar and see what you think. But it’s a bit spicy. ”

Zhang Qingyun looked at it and said, “Isn’t that … what it is? I remember mom told me about it, but I can’t remember it all of a sudden.”

Lei Zhaoting said, “It’s the eel, I enjoy eating the most. This is how an inn should be. It’s a very ordinary dish, but it has a very special name. This way, it can arouse the customers’ interest and curiosity.”

An old woman staggered in, bent over, carrying a walking stick. She had chicken skin and hair, and there was not a shred of flesh on her body. She held a broken bowl and stood by the door, saying, “Which lord is it? Please give me something to eat.” He slowly walked to a table where four men were seated and said, “Gramps, please enjoy your meal.

The big man fiercely said, “Go, go somewhere else. Don’t hinder my mood from eating.”

The old woman begged, “Grandpa, please give me some food. I don’t have anything to eat anymore.”

What was even more infuriating was that a burly man actually stood up and said, “Damn beggar, did you not hear that? Scram.” He raised his leg and kicked the old woman’s butt.

The old woman took a kick and staggered to Zhang Qingyun’s side. She turned around and said to Zhang Qingyun, “Young Master, please do well. Can you reward this old woman with a mouthful of food?”

Zhang Qingyun picked up the plate of good flowers and said, “Granny, we ate so much anyway. This tray is for you. ”

The old woman took the dish and poured it into her broken bowl, “Young Master, you are such a good person. The good people will live long and rich lives. I wish young master and young lady will blossom together and grow old together.”

Lei Zhaoting couldn’t help blushing at her words. “What are you talking about? Take your things and leave, don’t talk nonsense here.”

The old woman said, “Many thanks to Young Master and Young Lady. The two of you will surely be able to repay the kindness with your lives. Unlike some evil people, I’m afraid you won’t live past tonight.”

The big guy jumped up in anger and said, “Stupid woman, what are you talking about? I think you’re courting death.” The big man drew his sword and attacked the old woman. However, before he could even execute his move, the old woman had already arrived outside the inn. The old woman seemed to be walking slowly, but in the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.

The big man chased after them to the door. Suddenly, he let out a blood-curdling screech and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. Then, he looked at his companions again. All of them laid motionless on the table.

Zhang Qingyun patted his chest and said, “There are so many weird people in the martial arts world.”

Lei Zhaoting couldn’t help but turn pale from the fright. “Luckily, you’re very polite to her, Big Brother Yun. Otherwise, both of us would have been poisoned even if we didn’t die.”

The owner of the inn was so frightened that he hastily ran out from the back of the inn and said, “Waiter!” “Hurry up and report this to the government.” He then walked to Zhang Qingyun’s side and said, “Guests, I’m really sorry. If not, someone from the government will come soon. To prevent unnecessary trouble, please leave quickly.”

Zhang Qingyun looked around and saw that all the guests had fled in fright.

Lei Qiuting said, “Okay, boss, how much is it?”

The owner of the inn said, “If something like this happened and you two were worried, how would you dare to ask for money from me? As long as you two don’t blame me, I’ll treat you two to dinner.”

Zhang Lei and Zhang Mo walked out of the inn. Lei Qiuting said, “We actually had a free meal for him.” She couldn’t help but laugh.

This smile caused Zhang Qingyun to become infatuated. His lips were like peach blossoms, and his figure was slender and graceful. His charming eyes were like silk as he muttered, “Tingting, you’re really beautiful …”

Hearing that, Lei Zhaoting couldn’t help lowering her head, “Brother Yun, what are you talking about? Let’s go find the painter quickly.”

This bow of his was even more bashful, and a thick sense of honey rose in Zhang Qingyun’s heart.

Lei Qiuting said, “This town is so bustling, the streets at night are as bright as the day.”

Zhang Qingyun looked around and saw that the streets were brightly lit. Both sides were filled with hawkers selling midnight snacks, and the streets were bustling with activity.

A chubby little boy bought a stick of candied fruits from a candy seller, ate two mouthfuls, and then disappeared into the crowd, scratching his head.

When Zhang Qingyun heard the word ‘itch’, he felt it was strange. Mo Ming felt a strange itch on his hand. He couldn’t resist reaching out to scratch it, but it was even weirder. The more he scratched, the more itchy it got. He wanted nothing more than to scratch his skin.

Lei Qiuting asked, “Brother Yun, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Qingyun said, “I don’t know why, but my hands suddenly feel itchy.”

Lei Qiuting looked over and said in shock, “Brother Yun, stop grabbing, your hands are swollen.”

When Zhang Qingyun saw this, he couldn’t help but be alarmed. His hand was swollen as big as a pig’s hoof. He asked, “What’s going on?”

Lei Zhaoting said, “He must have been poisoned.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “It was that old granny. I didn’t notice it at that time. When she was serving the dish, I remembered that her hand gently slipped on the back of my hand. She must have poisoned it at that time.”

Lei Qiuting said, “What a brilliant method. Let’s quickly find Lang Zhong and expel the poison.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “In my opinion, this is no ordinary poison. Ordinary men are useless.”

Lei Qiuting said, “Then what should we do?”

At this moment, a few coughing sounds came from a dark alley. An old woman was slowly walking inside with her back bent.

The two of them looked at each other and said, “It’s that old granny.” The two of them leaped and arrived in front of the old woman.

The old woman seemed to be frightened by them. She retreated a few steps and almost fell to the ground. The hoarse voice said, “Who are you people? What do you want? Did you steal my wife’s thing?”

Zhang Qingyun said, “Granny, your acting is really good, and your methods are really sinister. Stop pretending. ”

The old woman suddenly stood up and said, “Young man, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with your body? Do you feel that your arms are itchy?”

When Zhang Qingyun heard the word ‘itch’, he felt an indescribable itch. He wanted to use his hands to grab it, so he tried his best to control himself.

Lei Qiuting asked, “Who are you and why are you trying to harm us? Are we going to take revenge on you?”

The old woman’s voice suddenly changed as she laughed loudly. She turned around and became a charming, graceful, and beautiful woman. She walked over and said, “I hate it when people call me grandma.”

Zhang Qingyun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “When you were acting like that, I didn’t call you grandma, so what should I call you?”

The old woman laughed, “Sigh, my good grandson.”

Suddenly, torches were lit on both sides of the wall. Both sides were filled with big men. A short and fat man with a short beard walked out of the darkness.

When Zhang Qingyun saw him, he understood everything, and said bitterly, “So, it was all because of you that Qimei Tong Tong was done by you.”

Zhaozhong Tong laughed mischievously, “Zhang kid, I didn’t expect you to be seen by me. However, you brat, you truly have the honor of inviting me to teach you four great elders. ”

Zhang Qingyun looked at the beautiful woman in the blink of an eye and said, “So you are all from the Cold Ice Sect.”

The beautiful woman said, “Stinking brat, don’t you have a lot of guts? You even dare to snatch my Cold Ice Sect’s things? Quickly take out the Black Tortoise Divine Bead.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “If you have the ability, come and get it!”

The beautiful woman smiled sweetly and said, “Right now, it doesn’t even need a day for you to die from the poison. I can’t be bothered to fight with you, and once the poison has been released, I’ll easily take the Black Tortoise Divine Bead from you.”

Zhang Qingyun began to notice that his entire arm was slowly swelling as well.

Lei Qiuting asked, “What poison is this? It’s so dangerous.”

The beautiful lady laughed and said, “My poison is not just for show.”

Lei Qiuting exclaimed, “So you’re actually the Ghost Face Poison King, Hua Ruyan.”

Hua Ruyan smiled and said, “I don’t think so.”

Zhang Qing tried his luck and felt that the poison had yet to attack his heart. He could only force him to hand over the antidote as soon as possible and shout, “Quickly hand over the antidote!”

Hua Ruyan said, “If you want the antidote, hand over the Black Tortoise Divine Bead.”

Zhang Qingyun said, “Don’t even think about it.”

Hua Ruyan said, “Then you just have to wait for the poison to kill you.”

Zhang Qingyun shouted, “I’m going to kill you!” With a single palm standing up, he pushed forward with his palm in an even manner. The sound of wind in the alleyway suddenly rose, and with the momentum of thunder, he charged towards Hua Ruyan.

Hua Ruyan immediately lowered her waist and sat on the horse. She pushed out her palms horizontally, and two gusts of Qi collided with each other. True energy surged, causing sand to fly and rocks to fly inside the alley while the wind howled.

Hua Ruyan spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and was sent flying back about three to four feet. “What a kid. Such strong inner strength.”

In fact, Zhang Qingyun had cultivated the First Heavenly Dipper Sword in the valley for over ten years, and now he had forty to fifty percent progress. He could be considered a top expert in the martial arts world. Because of the poison in his body, his power had been greatly reduced. He couldn’t help but be knocked to the ground and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.

“Arrest them all.” The tip of the sword tapped towards Lei Zhaoting.

Lei Zhaoting’s internal organs said, “Brother Yun, are you alright?”

Zhang Qingyun forced himself to stand up, “Tingting be careful!”

Lei Qiuting floated back, moved three feet away to avoid the sword, and said, “You evil people.” I’m going to kill you all. ” With a shake of the sword’s tip, it transformed into thousands of cold stars, dashing towards Qimei Tong.

“Little girl, you really have a tough tongue. Let me teach you a lesson.”

In the alley, the sword wind whistled as the two of them exchanged more than ten moves in an instant.

Hua Ruyan sat on the ground and adjusted her breathing before standing up as well. Suddenly, she reached out her hand and grabbed Lei Zhaoting’s wrist as fast as a meteor. Her figure shifted and another hand grabbed her neck. He said, “Quickly hand over the Black Tortoise Divine Bead. Or I’ll break her neck. ”

Lei Zhaoting’s wrist was in pain, and her sword was already on the ground. She looked at Zhang Qingyun with despondent eyes and said, “Brother Yun, you can’t give it to her.”

Hua Ruyan used her fingers and said, “You are courting death.” Lei Zhaoting screamed in pain.

Zhang Qingyun had activated his zhenqi just now, and now that he felt the poison attacking his heart, his four limbs became even more inflexible. He could not hear what they were saying clearly, and his head became dizzy and his eyes started to turn black. The eye cannot see.

Hua Ruyan looked at Zhang Qingyun’s expression and knew that he had already been poisoned. She was just afraid that his martial arts might be too high, so she didn’t dare to go over for a while.

He suddenly heard a delicate shout from the rooftop as a sky full of cold stars rapidly shot down.

Hua Ruyan waved her sleeves, sweeping away the cold stars. There were a few embroidery needles on the ground, as well as a number of burly men rolling and howling on the ground.

A silver whip wrapped around Zhang Qingyun’s waist and pulled him into that person’s embrace.

Hua Ruyan angrily said, “Where did this lowly slave come from? Stop right there!” He turned around and said, “Hurry up and chase him!”

Zhang Qingyun only felt that he was being carried by a person. He jumped around on the roof and vaguely felt that this person was a woman. Moreover, it was a very fragrant woman. Because his fragrance was very enchanting, he slowly fainted.
