Changes in Chu Chapter 90 Loyal and righteous people, not only in the wind
It all shows that the moon is breezy and easy to provoke feelings, not to mention the vast river.
Sun Jingluo behaved kindly and casually, and the old man and the girl did not deliberately guard against estrangement, and even those young men who looked like followers no longer showed their defensive intentions against Sun Jingluo and Wu Dao on the surface.
So, after a meal of grilled fish by the river, they met not long ago, and they were not familiar with the two sides, but they seemed to be a group.
The only exception is the witch knife who likes to hold a knife around his arms.
The girl named Xiyue, with the help of handing the grilled fish to the witch knife, deliberately expressed to him the grace of saving his life, but the witch knife seemed a little unappreciative, just silently took the grilled fish in the girl's hand, and then turned away, no longer paying attention to the girl.
The girl, who looked a little embarrassed, habitually glanced at Sun Jingluo, who was not far from her, and then lowered her head and walked back to the old man.
All this was glimpsed by Sun Jingluo with his spare eyes, but he was silent.
Since meeting this group of people, from the tiger rushing to the riverside, Wu Dao didn't say a word along the way, and he also put away his lazy expression slightly, all of which naturally couldn't escape Sun Jingluo's eyes.
An old man and a young man, plus those young people who look like entourage, all of them are people with martial arts, and the old man is even more mysterious, so it seems that if the girl is a young lady from a big family, then I am afraid that she is at least a big family at the first level.
In Jiaozhou, in addition to the Yu family in Wuzhou, there is also the Zhao family in Nantiancheng.
After chatting with the girl for a while, Sun Jingluo walked back to Wudao's side and lay down beside him.
The next day, the group crossed the Yuanshui and arrived at a place called Sanjiao Town at noon.
This Sanjiao town is located in the lower reaches of Yuanshui, less than 100 miles to the east is Junshan Lake, less than 100 miles to the northwest is Jishan, it is a special place in Jiaozhou.
It is especially in a small town, but it is extremely prosperous, almost nine streams and ten families have gathered here, of course, the reason why these people come here, one is because of Jishan, and there is the mysterious southern Xinjiang.
The most famous inn in Sanjiao Town is Xunxian Inn, the most famous wine shop is Tusu Tavern, and the most famous green building is Slender Waist Building.
These three places, if it weren't for the rich family with a lot of money, or the monk with cultivation, the idle people could only look outside the gate.
If you want to say which city in Chu is the most magnificent, lively and prosperous, the first is of course Junshan City.
But if you want to say which city is the most crowded and the most unrestrained, it has to be these Sanjiao towns.
Not to mention the three prosperous places, in an ordinary alley on the east side of the town, this is in a remote place, and there are only a few taverns and inns opened by ordinary people for those ordinary business travelers to settle down.
The consumption here is only a fraction of those "famous buildings", and ordinary businessmen or people who have traveled far away will come here to rest.
A tavern with "Jiangnan Little Family" hanging at the door of the house, in which more than a dozen tables were placed in an orderly manner, and most of them were filled at this time, all of them were some merchants and passers-by.
There are a few local stir-fried dishes on the table, a pot of rice wine, and they sit around in pairs, gossiping and bragging.
There were four people sitting around a table by the window, an old man and a girl, and two young men, who were Sun Jingluo and his party.
At this time, he was eating a few side dishes and drinking wine, which was the famous Tusu wine in Chu.
The old man did not wait for everyone to finish eating, so he went to the meeting with an attendant, and then got up and prepared to leave.
"Elder Wu, has something happened?" Sun Jingluo asked, he had originally planned to stay in Sanjiao Town for a day, the people here are complicated, and the town is mixed, which has a great benefit, and is well-informed.
"I don't have time to go into details, let's get out of here first. Wu Lao looked hurried, and his face was full of melancholy.
I didn't see him say hello, and the entourage scattered around all got up and followed out of the tavern, Sun Jing glanced at the witch knife, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Wu Dao slowly drank the last sip of wine in the bowl, and then followed Sun Jingluo, who was walking outside the tavern.
Sun Jingluo followed Wu Lao and his party out of Sanjiao Town, walked more than ten miles south, and came to a hill.
At this time, the sky was cloudy and the sky became a little dark.
When they arrived at this unknown hill, Wu Lao and his party stopped, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Because I can't go anymore.
On the hill, a man dressed in black stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back, blocking everyone's way.
"Lord Witch God, where are you going in such a hurry?" a low, demonic voice came from the man in black.
"Wu Xian, you...... It's still alive!" Hearing the man in black speak, Wu Lao's face changed drastically, and his voice was full of surprise and anger.
"Thanks to the witch god, it's just that my life shouldn't be extinguished, and I have become what I am now. The man in black named Wu Xian said coldly.
"Also, I'm not called Wu Xian now, I'm called Ghost Witch. The man in black said with a sneer again.
"Ghost witch?" the witch elder looked startled.
Although Sun Jingluo didn't understand the reason, he also guessed that things were not simple when he looked at the change in the old man's expression. He first glanced at the girl, and saw that her face was full of anger, and her originally beautiful eyes shone with hatred.
He turned his head to look at the sword on the other side, and saw that he didn't know when he had come to him.
The young and strong entourage all pulled out the odd-shaped knives in their hands, and surrounded the old and the young, as well as Sun Jingluo and Wu Dao, and all watched the movements of the Quartet with vigilant expressions.
"The Howling Moon Kingdom has perished, Lord Witch God, why are you persistent! The man in black, who called himself a ghost, said grimly.
The old man, who was called the Witch God, quickly calculated in his heart, but said calmly: "Wu Xian, you are also a member of my Xiaoyue Clan, why do you want to help the Nine Shadows Clan and do something to betray the clan!"
The ghost witch laughed ruefully, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I am a person who has already died once, and now I can still be regarded as a member of the Xiaoyue Clan? ”
Wu Lao looked at the former nephew in front of him, and his heart was both angry and sad, it was all the desire for power, which made a person lose his most basic conscience and humanity, and it was also his temporary soft-heartedness that caused today's tragedy.
"Then what do you want?" said Wu Lao angrily after finally losing control of the anger in his heart.
The ghost witch glanced at the girl Xiyue and sneered: "Leave Princess Xiyue and your head." ”
Wu Lao's face was full of anger and remorse, he smiled bitterly, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Beast, if you do this, the moon god will punish you one day." ”
The black-clothed ghost witch slowly turned around, and the black hood hid his whole person, but the evil aura he exuded from his body made everyone present feel a trace of fear.
The ghost witch slowly raised his hands above his head, then looked up to the sky and smiled, "Moon God, if she can really manifest her spirit, how can the Howling Moon Kingdom be wiped out by the Nine Demon Gods." ”
The sky suddenly became cloudy, the wind gradually rose, and a figure appeared in front of the ghost witch out of thin air, the person had a slender body, a wide coat and a slow belt, long hair tied with a white ribbon behind his head, big sleeves fluttering, looking like a middle-aged, but his face was like jade, and he was very fairy.
Wu Lao stared closely at the person who appeared out of thin air, and said coldly: "Your Excellency must be Li Shoudao, the military advisor in front of the Nine Shadows King. ”
The man waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the Xiaoyue Clan has the prestige of the godless lord, and I was able to meet today, it is really too late to see each other!"
Wu Lao took a step across, blocked the girl Xiyue behind him, sighed, looked at the man and said, "The people who have died in the country, what is worthy of praise from the military advisor." ”
The man looked away, looked up at the sky, showed a rather emotional expression on his face, and said faintly: "The prestige of Lord Witch God has been spread in Southern Xinjiang for decades, and now it has fallen to such a point, it can't help but make people sigh!"
After speaking, he sighed sincerely, and said: "If Lord Witch God can submit to my Nine Shadows, you and I will be able to do a great job together." ”
Wu Lao shook his head and said with a smile: "The sage has a saying, the Tao is not the same, you and I are people on the two paths, and it is destined to be your fate to live and die." ”
The man stared at Wu Lao tightly and asked, "Don't think about it again?"
Wu Lao said categorically: "There is no need!"
The man nodded and said, "Then I will see the true chapter under my hands, just let me understand the methods of the witch god lord in the southern Xinjiang." ”
Before the words fell, the person disappeared, Wu Lao glanced at the girl behind him, nodded, only to wave his hand, and disappeared in an instant.
The surroundings became darker and darker, and the wind began to rage, and those young and strong followers quickly gathered, tightly surrounding the girl, Sun Jingluo, and the witch knife.
The witch knife approached Sun Jingluo close to protect his safety.
Sun Jingluo said in a low voice: "Witch Knife, are you sure of the black-clothed man on the other side?"
"I don't know, but don't worry, I won't let you die. The witch knife said without looking back.
At this moment, the figure of the black-clothed man and ghost witch in the wind and sand shook, and without warning, two young and strong followers fell to the ground, and when they fell to the ground, they had become two terrifying-looking dry corpses.
The girl Xiyue pulled Sun Jingluo suddenly, and her pretty face was full of fear.
Sun Jingluo's heart trembled, reached out to hold the girl's soft little hand, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid!"
In fact, his heart was already pounding like a drum, and cold sweat was breaking out on his back, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
The witch knife was in front of his chest, but he didn't draw it, just stared vigilantly at the man in black two feet away.
"Soul Eater, you...... You've actually cultivated this evil skill!" The girl suddenly exclaimed in horror.
The cold voice of the man in black came from the wind and sand, "If I want to live, they must die." ”
The girl gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, then pulled out the hand that was held by Sun Jingluo, pulled out a short knife from her waist, and protected it on her chest, there was no fear in her eyes, and a fighting spirit was revealed from it, just like a battle-hardened warrior, without the slightest cowardice of a girl.
Sun Jingluo, who was beside him, felt the change in the girl, and sighed in his heart, this princess of Xiaoyue Country was not as weak as she was on the surface, and it seemed that the Hundred Barbarian tribes in Southern Xinjiang were extraordinary.
Now that he is in charge of Jiaozhou, on the way to take office, he actually encountered the vendetta of the hundred barbarian tribes, he looked at everything in front of him coldly, and there was no fear in his heart.
The Hundred Barbarian Tribes are the enemies of the Chu State after all, and now that they have encountered the Hundred Barbarian Tribes, they can just learn about this group of people who have been barbarized and murderous by the Gale Dynasty, and they are full of mysteries.
The figure of the ghost witch disappeared in place again, only to feel a gust of wind blowing, the sound of gold and iron colliding in the air, and two young men followed to the end, this time instead of turning into a dry corpse, but having their throats cut open with a sharp weapon.
Wu Lao and the military advisor of Jiuyou didn't know where to fight, they only felt that the wind was surging, and the mountains and rivers were discolored, as if the end of the world was coming.
In the wind and sand, the ghost witch suddenly let out a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling, and suddenly countless evil ghosts pounced on Sun Jingluo and the others from all directions.
The witch knife finally pulled out the thunder and protected it on his chest, blocking Sun Jingluo.
The girl Xiyue and a young retinue wielded a knife to fight with the evil ghosts, only to hear the roar and screams, and after a while, those young and strong entourages fell to the ground one after another, turning into a lifeless dry corpse, only the girl Xiyue with the strange short knife in her hand was struggling to support.
"Witch Knife, save the moon!" Sun Jingluo shouted.
The witch knife didn't make a sound, only to see his figure change again and again, the thunder in his hand was slashed again and again, and a stream of blue light shot out, carrying a strong wind and thunder momentum to spread around.
A terrible howl suddenly came from the dim wind and sand, and the flying demon figures quickly disappeared into the blue light.
The ghost witch in the distance snorted coldly, but did not make another move.
The frenzied wind and dust stopped instantly, and the sky gradually became clearer.
Wu Lao's somewhat rickety figure appeared next to the girl Xiyue, with a trace of black blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and his expression was sad.
The Nine Shadows Military Master of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone also appeared, and his expression also looked very embarrassed, not much better than Wu Lao.
"Xiaoyue Witch God, as expected, his name is well deserved, and Li has learned it. The Nine Shadows Military Master said.
Wu Laoqiang endured the collision of the chaotic aura all over his body, and said calmly: "Although my Xiaoyue Kingdom is dead, if I want to kill it all, it is not something that you young people can do. ”
The Nine Shadows Military Master nodded, "Then there will be a period later!"
As soon as the words fell, a black wind swirled, and the two of them disappeared with the Nine Shadows Military Master and the Ghost Witch.
Under the clear sky, the breeze blew through the nameless hills, and the corpses and blood stains on the ground made this world a little desolate.
The girl Xiyue looked at the corpse of the young and strong entourage on the ground, with sadness on her face, tears kept coming, these were her clansmen, and her only remaining relatives, and now they were all sacrificed for her.
"Princess, life and death are fateful, and they die for their mission, and they deserve to die. Wu Lao comforted from the side.
Sun Jingluo watched from the sidelines, and at this time his heart was already surging, who said that the barbarians in southern Xinjiang were all barbaric and murderous?
Among the hundred barbarians, there are also those who sacrifice their lives for loyalty.
