Chapter 224: Ten Years
Black clouds hovered in the night sky, the sky was gloomy as if pressed to the ground, and the rain falling from the sky swept across the vast land in the cold and whistling wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the wilderness, there is no village in front of the village, there is no land in the back, there is no land in all directions, only an ancient road extends from afar, and it extends lonely into the distance.
In the dark clouds in the night sky, there was a low thunder sound, and the rain between heaven and earth gradually became heavier.
The earth is solemn, except for the sound of wind and rain on the wilderness, it is pitch black, only on the edge of the ancient road, a little light is lit alone, revealing a little light.
This is a wilderness hut, the owner's surname is He, a middle-aged man in his early forties, who is from Xiaochi Town, a day's journey from here, in this deserted place, next to the ancient road, he has worked hard to build a simple house, providing a place for travelers to rest and drink tea, so as to earn a few hard-earned money.
At this moment, Boss He was sitting behind the counter in his shop, listening intently to the sound of wind and rain outside the house, his brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed softly.
His hut is located between the town of Koike and a large mountain in the west, Kongsang Mountain, and the ancient road outside the door has been a way of business travel since ancient times, and it is also the only way to the big city of the east, Changhe City in the East China Sea, so travelers pass by from time to time.
Right now, on this stormy night, there are still a few customers in this small wilderness shop, sitting silently in the dark and dim hut, hiding from the bleak wind and rain outside.
"Crackle. ”
The heart of the oil lamp in front of Boss He made a slight popping sound, waking up the honest middle-aged man from his drowsiness.
"Woo!"
The sound of wind and rain outside the house was tight for a while, as if choking, it seemed that this night, the guests here could not leave.
With that in mind, he looked up at the customers in his shop.
There were only five tables in the humble hut, and at the moment there were three tables with guests sitting next to them.
In the far corner sat a single man, in a dark place where the light could hardly illuminate, and the man sat alone, even his face blurred.
And the two tables that are closer, there is an old man with extraordinary bearing and a young girl who is cardamom sitting next to the table, and there is a bamboo pole leaning on the table in the old man's hand, and there is a strip of cloth on it, which reads the words "fairy guide the way", which seems to be a gentleman of the rivers and lakes.
As for the last table, it was the most crowded caravan, there were four people in total, and the corners behind them were full of goods, and at this moment there was a young man in the middle who cursed softly about the ghost weather.
"Alright, don't say it. ”
Another old man among the four who looked older drank him, turned his head and smiled at Boss He, and said slightly apologetically: "Boss He, today's wind and rain are heavy, and it has caused you to stay up late with us." ”
Boss He smiled and shook his head, this business traveler often travels to and from this ancient road, and he has come to his small shop to rest many times, so he is also a regular customer, and said at the moment: "It's okay, it's common for me to stay up late, but today it has been dark clouds since the daytime, why do you still have to hurry, sir?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, then glanced at the others in his companionship, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, why don't we know that the weather is bad today, but it is really difficult to go out!"
Boss He let out an "ah".
The old man picked up the teacup in front of him, drank all the tea in the cup, and said, "Boss He, this world is difficult now!"
Boss He was taken aback and said, "What's wrong?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "From ten years ago, the Demon Sect, which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly reappeared, and I heard that there was still a big battle with those immortals of the Righteous Path in Qingyun Mountain, since then, in the past ten years, the Demon Sect has not been eliminated by the Righteous Path, but has become more and more prosperous, and I have heard everywhere that they are fighting with the Righteous Path. ”
Boss He was silent, the old man sighed, and continued: "They fight them, we ordinary people can't control it, but under this fight, the world is in chaos, and now thieves are rampant, and there are countless robbers and robbers. ”
Boss He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, you don't have to take it to heart..."
As he was talking, a voice suddenly came from a corner in the distance, and said lightly: "In this way, this gentleman thinks that if there is chaos and thieves are rampant today, it is all for the Demon Sect in your mouth?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, there sat a table of scholars and young girls in front of him, and his eyes looked at them. The girl had bright eyes, a beautiful appearance, and shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, which looked lovable.
At this moment, she suddenly opened her mouth and smiled at the old man of the merchant traveler: "This old man!"
The old man looked at her and said, "What is the matter, girl?"
The young girl said softly: "Uncle, your face is thin and has many lines, but your face is not broken, although the Lord's life is full of twists and turns, it is still safe, but there is a small scar in the sixth part of your heavenly court, which is horizontal in the face, blocking the lifeline and wealth line, when you are old, there may be a catastrophe, now depending on your age, it is better to say less words and less troubles." ”
All the merchants changed color together, and the old man stood up and stared at the old man and the young man tightly, but neither of them reacted, calmly, and for a while, the old man's face was cloudy, and he glanced around, and finally sat back, and bowed to the girl: "Thank you girl for your advice." ”
He sat back this time, and the small shop immediately fell silent, and the somewhat mysterious man who had just been in the corner seemed to be quiet at the moment, and did not speak again.
It's just that this long night is long, and it's really difficult, and after a long time, the people in the business travelers over there gradually began to chat, but to talk about it, they talked about the battle between the righteous and the demons in Qingyun Mountain ten years ago.
These traveling merchants are just ordinary people, so naturally they have never been to the scene to see it, but it is rumored that this thing was born for this purpose.
Moreover, those masters of the righteous path have always been mysterious and unpredictable, and they are the best talking points in the mouths of ordinary people.
As he spoke, the voices of several young people grew louder, and the others heard them, and their attention was drawn to them.
“… In short, at that time, the situation in Qingyunmen was already in danger, fortunately, Dao Xuan Lao Immortal Gong participated in the creation, and with a light touch of his finger, thunder and lightning suddenly fell from the sky, and I heard that the loud noise could be heard within a radius of a hundred miles, so the people of the Demon Sect were repelled!"
"Fart!"
