Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Paper Piercing Man
From Liu Yulan's mouth, everyone heard a story from a different perspective.
She is a native of Bugu County, her family runs a martial arts gym, and her father is a famous local martial artist.
And Ge Teng is a young man in the village next to him, because of his good talent, he was accepted by his father and carefully taught.
She and Ge Teng are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses.
At the age of fifteen, Ge Teng became a cyclone warrior, and the two made a marriage contract, which can be described as a double happiness.
The bridge of fame, the worldly road, it is inevitable to go once when you are young.
At the age of eighteen, Ge Teng had become the second layer of the cyclone, and the master had nothing to hand over to him.
So, Ge Teng bid farewell to his master and fiancΓ©e and embarked on the road of pursuing martial arts.
The two agreed that they would get married when they came back.
And he left for five years, and at first he would send a letter back to his family, but two years ago he suddenly heard nothing.
Everyone persuaded her to marry, saying that the man would not come back.
But Liu Yulan didn't believe it.
She heard that there were a large number of participants in this year's martial arts competition in Lushui County, including more than a dozen county towns, so she sneaked out of her house.
If Ge Teng heard about such a grand event, he would not have missed it.
After Liu Yulan finished speaking, she looked at Fang Xile urgently: "Miss Fang, when and where did you see Ge Lang?"
"Nine months ago," Fang Xile said, "in Hongqing County." β
Liu Yulan showed a sad and joyful look, and her lips trembled: "Then, Ge Lang, okay?"
"He," Fang Xile said, "He is still alive, and his martial arts have gone further, but he is disfigured." β
said what happened in Hongqing County.
Liu Yulan's eyes were red, she bit her lower lip, and cried silently.
A girl of Tao Ying's age can't listen to the sad love story the most, and she also wipes her tears.
After a while, Liu Yulan eased up and thanked Fang Xile.
"What are your plans now?"
"When I got to the next county, I changed trains and went to Hongqing County. β
Tao Ying was anxious: "Sister Yulan, how are you going to go alone! This road is strong, there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and it is dangerous!"
Fang Xile also persuaded: "Don't worry, maybe Brother Ge Teng really went to Lushui to participate in the martial arts competition! He was there more than half a year ago, and he may not be there now!"
You go to Lushui with us first, if you can't find anyone anywhere, when you are done, I will accompany you to Hongqing County. β
After all, they were companions who had fought side by side, and she couldn't watch his fiancΓ©e run away and lose her life.
Liu Yulan was a person who didn't pay attention and had a soft temperament, and as soon as everyone persuaded her, she temporarily put down her anxious mood and agreed to walk with everyone.
After hearing what happened to her, Tao Ying was even more compassionate, stuffed food vigorously, and finally told the people in the convoy to let Liu Yulan come to their carriage to sit.
The people in the convoy are indispensable, as long as they pay for it, it doesn't matter which carriage they go to.
Tao Ying and Tao Da Niu are both thin and small, and the carriage of five people is not crowded.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and soon a few days passed.
......
Zhang Shan started driving carriages at the age of eighteen, and now he is in his fortieth year.
At the age of fifty-eight, he was no longer young, and he handed over the work to his son.
He only married a daughter-in-law in his thirties, and only had a son when he was forty, and now his son Zhang Qi happens to be eighteen years old.
"Dad, when will we get to the next county seat? β
Zhang Shanle smiled: "Don't worry, if it goes well, you can arrive at night." β
Zhang Qi complained: "I'm fed up living in the mountains, there are too many mosquitoes, Dad's work, how did you do it for so many years." β
Zhang Shan glanced at his son, with pity in his eyes: "When you have a family to support, you can persevere." Don't look at the hardships of walking in the mountains, but driving a carriage in the city, the money you earn in a month is less than half of this, and you can rest for five days after fifteen days. β
"I know, Dad, I'll remember my way. β
Zhang Shan nodded, and then said: "The mountain road is not easy to identify, don't worry, you just came, just follow the car in front." After a long time, I will naturally get to know each other. β
As he was talking, a few people got off the first carriage, and it was a few guards.
They inspect the convoy once a day, but it doesn't really do much, it just lets the passengers know that they still have someone to protect them, so that they can rest assured.
Zhang Qi looked at it enviously, how good it would be if he could become a martial artist.
In this way, he does not have to be a driver, he can sit in the car safely and securely in the wind and rain all day long, and he is respected by others.
Sure enough, the group walked back and forth symbolically, and then sat back in the carriage.
"Hey," Zhang Qi sighed.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhang Shan shook his head, the martial master is not so easy to be.
When Zhang Qi was a child, he also had hope and took him to participate in the selection of disciples of the sect, but he was all brushed down. The martial arts hall does not require qualifications, but the price is not from a small person like them.
At some point, a thick fog began to pour out of the surroundings.
Zhang Shan muttered: "At this time, why is it still foggy!"
There was more and more fog, obscuring the road ahead, and even the carriage in front of it was too shadowy to see clearly.
"Dad, is there so much fog in this place?"
Zhang Shan shook his head: "It's not early in the morning, after the rain, where did the fog come from, it's really a strange thing!"
The carriage ahead suddenly stopped.
Tao Ying poked her head out and asked in a daze, "Why did the carriage stop, is it time to rest?"
She slept all afternoon and didn't wake up until the car came to a sudden stop and hit her head on the board.
"Don't be nervous, girl, it is estimated that the car in front of you is broken. Zhang Shan comforted.
"Ah, can you still go?" asked the little girl Tao Ying with a bitter face, if they couldn't get to the county seat, they would have to sleep in the mountains again.
"Hehe," Zhang Shan laughed: "We have seen a lot of this situation, just cultivate, you come down and do activities, wait a while." β
"The car in front of me broke down, everyone came down to move, and after sitting for a day, their waists were sore. Tao Ying opened the car door and pulled out the crowd.
"What's the fog?" Tao Daniu said strangely.
"Isn't it normal to get foggy in the mountains?"
Fang Xile and Ning Zizhi glanced at each other, their expressions solemn.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the carriage ahead.
What's going on?
Liu Yulan's hands trembled, and she asked in a trembling voice, "It can't be that you met a beast before, right?"
Tao Ying nervously pulled Liu Yulan's hands, even if she was a cyclone martial artist, she was just a teenage girl: "It's okay, our convoy is guarded by adults in the middle of the cyclone, it's okay." β
The crowd soon understood why the people in front of them were screaming, because now, they wanted to scream too.
A human face emerged from the fog and walked straight towards the convoy.
The weird thing is that it floats in the air, its feet a fist away from the ground.
His eyes were blank, his face was pale and bloodless, and his lips were bright red and strange.
This is, a ghost!
Zhang Shan, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage, bore the brunt.
Run, he secretly exerted his strength, and left in a cold sweat, but his legs were weak, and he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.
I could only watch the ghost walk in.
Finished!
I'll never be in a car again for the rest of my life!
The blue-white hands reflected in the pupils became clearer and clearer, and Zhang Shan was desperate.
At this moment, a plain white hand reached out from behind him.
Unexpectedly!
Hold the ghost hand!
The ghost suddenly let out a piercing scream like a little girl being molested, and his body twisted and twisted, and finally disappeared, except for a piece of paper that floated down from the air and was caught by the hand.
After being extremely nervous and relaxed, Zhang Shan's whole body was like being fished out of the water, drenched and soft to the seat, and his mouth kept saying: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Sister Xile, you..."
Tao Ying was halfway through his speech, but he was interrupted by Tao Da Niu, he glared at Tao Ying fiercely, and his old body became more and more imposing: "This is a martial artist in the late stage of the cyclone, I want to call him an adult!"
As we all know, only the martial artists in the late stage of the cyclone can fight against ghosts, and the grandmasters rarely appear, so the most powerful characters that the lower-level martial artists can see is the late stage of the cyclone.
They have always been high, they are the masters of small sects, the leaders of the gangs, the most powerful people in the county, and the big people who can pinch them to death at will.
A cold sweat broke out on Tao Da Niu's forehead, they were actually walking with an adult in the late stage of the cyclone, and Eiko was even commensurate with her sister, hoping that this adult would not embarrass them.
Fang Xile wanted to explain that he was only the fourth layer of the cyclone, but in that case, he had to explain the reason why he could deal with ghosts, so the words turned around in his mouth and swallowed, just waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, just call me by my name." β
Tao Da Niu shook his head again and again, muttering how to do that.
The principle that the strong are respected is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in this world.
"What the hell is this?" Ning Ziqi leaned over and asked.
Fang Xile spread out his palm, and it turned out to be a paper-tied villain, with facial features painted on his face.
"It was this paper man who just attacked me?"
Zhang Shan was amazed.
Ning Zizhi took it and looked at it: "Paper pierces people, you can't draw eyes, if you draw eyes, there will be a ghost possession." But there is only this one, and it is not difficult to deal with. β
As soon as Ning Zi's voice fell, faces with pale faces appeared in the mist.
This crow's mouth!
"My lord, we, we..."Tao Da Niu pleaded with a pleading face, for fear that Fang Xile would abandon them, after all, only in the late stage of the cyclone could he deal with ghosts.
"Follow me and get out!"
Fang Xile gritted her teeth, there were too many people in the paper, if she rushed up and pounced, exceeding the limit of her absorption, then she would be no different from an ordinary cyclone martial artist in the face of ghosts.
"Ning Zizhi!" Fang Xile shouted.
At the moment of life and death, it was not the time to be stingy, so he directly pulled out four Fire Yang Sword Talismans.
Infused with true qi, the sword rune rushed straight into the group of ghosts, clearing a passage.
"Quick!"
There were too many ghosts, and the passage would soon be blocked, so Fang Xile Ning took the lead and rushed over.
......
"Whew"
The crowd lay staggered on the hillside, panting.
Finally out of the fog!
The only people who escaped were a few people in their car and the guards of the convoy, as well as Zhang Shan, Zhang Qi and his son.
The form was tense just now, and it was too late to call one by one, and only a few people and cyclone warriors were close to them.
Tao Ying got up, looked around, and asked, "Where is Sister Yulan?"
