Chapter 164: Sanssouci City
The sky was cold and windy, and Tong Yu and Huluzi were sitting on the treasure gourd, and they had been drifting in the lake for more than a day. Although the two of them jumped off the cliff www.biquge.info were fine, they were also soaked, and the cold wind of winter blew through, the two of them only felt that they were all frozen, but fortunately, Tong Yu put a lot of food in his treasure bag when he was in Yaoyang City before, or the two of them would have to starve to death if they didn't freeze to death.
"It's so cold! Why can't you see the shore?" Tong Yu looked around, the whole person was tired, and his body was a little wet, so he didn't want to be frozen.
"It's almost to the shore before, you don't go up," Huluzi said helplessly.
"Can you go up? It looks like the Nanshan faction's sphere of influence over there, this will be almost out of their territory, and we should go up, or they will come out by boat to find it in a while, we will be miserable" Tong Yu looked around and said.
"Tong Yu, you see? Front??" Huluzi suddenly saw a piece of land in front of the turbulent lake.
"Swift stroke? It's finally time to go ashore, and the lake is too big. Tong Yu said excitedly.
Whoa?? The two of them excitedly paddled desperately with their hands in the icy lake.
It seemed that the land was very close, and the two of them paddled for two hours before they came ashore, and the two dragged their tired bodies and rushed to the grove to change their clothes.
"I said gourd, where is this?" Tong Yu and Huluzi walked forward slowly, and when they saw a city in front of them, Tong Yu asked.
"This should be Sanssouci City! A few years ago, I passed by this place with the people, this place is a good place, the people in it are vigorous, and it is also very lively, and the people here live happily and worry-free, so it is named Sanssouci City," said Huluzi gesture.
"Let's go, let's go, go in and find an inn to rest, take a hot bath, I'll order a few large pieces of beef, leopard meat, wow?" Tong Yu sped up his pace at the thought of eating, and the gourd trotted behind him.
The two came to Sanssouci City, but to the surprise of Tong Yu and Huluzi, there were almost no people at the door except for the two guarded soldiers, and the whole city was quiet, only a few figures were seen dangling on the street.
"Huluzi, this is what you said about how lively people are?" Tong Yu pointed to the empty street and said, finally two figures appeared, and when he saw Tong Yu and Huluzi, he was still frightened and hurriedly dodged.
"No, it wasn't like this before" Huluzi felt so strange, he had been to Sanssouci City last time, although it was not as lively as some of the imperial capitals, but the people were prosperous, and the trade was busy, and now it seemed to be like a dead city, dilapidated everywhere, and people seemed to be dodging, or they were in a state of weakness.
"Forget it, let's go eat something," Tong Yu said anxiously at an inn in front of him.
"Strange? Let's go" Huluzi still felt a little strange, looked around, and seemed to always feel that the whole city was filled with a smell of medicinal herbs, looming.
Tong Yu and Huluzi came to the inn, there were few people inside, and there were a few officials, the shopkeeper was a simple fat man, and there was a young woman sitting next to him, and next to the young woman was a five or six-year-old boy who was playing with a small wooden horse.
"What do you want to eat?" said the shopkeeper as he walked up to Tong Yu and Huluzi.
"Beef, a jar of rice wine, a roast duck, a leopard meat, a roast whole sheep, two large bowls of hemp food" Tong Yu was hungry and ordered the dishes vigorously, and the gourd looked around with a puzzled face. (A kind of pasta in Xi'an, very delicious, shaped like cat ears, some people call cat ears,)
At this moment, a middle-aged man who had not woken up passed by the gourd with dark circles under his eyes, and the gourd grabbed the middle-aged man.
"Uncle, let me ask, why is Sanssouci City so depressed now?" Huluzi asked, and also observed the middle-aged man by the way, his face was yellow, and his body seemed to be weak.
"You're out of town, aren't you? Here, since a young man named Gu You came around, Sanssouci City began to live a hellish life, and the adults in the city always disappeared innocently, I heard that Gu You is a person from the demon race, a descendant of the bone demon, and the white bones of cannibalism" The middle-aged man looked around cautiously after speaking.
"You talk nonsense!! Brother Gu You is a good person, last time my uncle and I were hunting in the back mountains when we were chased by a big bear, it was he who saved us, and he also saved the father of Xiaolong next door" The little boy who was playing with the wooden horse before came over and shouted loudly at the middle-aged man, the young woman glanced at several soldiers in the inn, and hurriedly rushed out in fright, covering the little boy's mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense," the young woman roared.
"Wait, what did you say just now, kid?" Several soldiers from another table walked over, one of them had a beard, a robe, and a pointed face, followed by several soldiers.
"Uncle, uncle, Tong Yan Wuji, don't listen to his nonsense" The shopkeeper panicked, and hurriedly rushed over to the Taoist priest and bowed his head and said.
"Shut up for me, our head of the guard is asking this kid, and if you talk nonsense again, you will be punished!!" A soldier spoke, flashing the steel knife in his hand.
"Little friend, let me ask you, do you say Gu You is a good person or a bad person? Have you seen him? The Taoist priest said with a disgusting smile.
"Brother Guyou is a good person, he saved me, I saw him in the back mountain, he is not a bad person" The little boy said firmly.
"Someone!! Grab them all," the Taoist priest said, standing up and smiling.
"Yes??" Several soldiers shouted in unison.
"Captain of the Guard, will you come to eat all for free in the future? The child is unintentional," the shopkeeper's cry begged.
"Capture them all," the Taoist priest snapped again.
"Don't??"
Seeing this, Huluzi was about to rush out, Tong Yu pressed Hulu's body, and Huluzi looked at Tong Yu with a puzzled expression, thinking that Tong Yu would not let him take care of this idle matter.
"Alas, I can't eat peacefully after eating, it's true," Tong Yu said unhappily.
"Wait??" Tong Yu hurriedly stood up and shouted.
"What! Want to be a hero? After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he immediately showed his spiritual power, the seven stars of the Spirit Protector, and the soldiers behind him all showed their spiritual power, and the Spirit Protector was five stars.
"Hmm," Tong Yu nodded blankly.
"Looking for death, I see that you are the same party of the bone demon, take them all away!!" The Taoist priest squinted at Tong Yu and said.
"Whoosh?" Tong Yu burst out quickly, and the people in the inn didn't react, not even the gourd, only to see Tong Yu rushing to the Taoist priest's side,
The Taoist priest was just about to take out the long sword, but he found that the other party's speed was extremely fast, and he just showed a strange smile at himself, but he did not attack himself, and bypassed himself.
"Boom??" With a loud bang, the Taoist priest turned his head to look behind him, and all the four soldiers behind him were knocked over, unable to bear the bottom, foaming at the mouth, and the surrounding tables and chairs were also smashed.
Tong Yu slowly walked to the Taoist priest's side, and the Taoist priest swallowed his saliva in fright, he could instantly solve the five-star level person of the Spirit Protector behind him, and the level must not be lower than himself, at least he couldn't do it. In addition, the spiritual power on the gourd not far away seemed to surpass him, and the whole person became scared in an instant.
"What are you going to do? The lord of the city is my brother, you? Are you a member of the Bone Demon and this inn? Someone??" The Taoist priest slowly retreated towards the sect as he spoke, and finally ran away with a shout.
"Thank you, two young heroes," the shopkeeper said as he walked over.
"It's okay, I want to ask what this bone demon does?" Tong Yu glanced at the shopkeeper and said.
"Gu You Shaoxia came to Sanssouci City a few years ago, and has been helping the people in the city, although this person is a demon, he doesn't like to talk by nature, but he is a good person, just a year ago, Sanssouci City continued to start missing people, scared of the surrounding trade businessmen did not dare to enter the city, people began to dare not go out, Sanssouci City began to be depressed, the city lord and some people said that Gu You did it, so??" The shopkeeper said.
"Shopkeeper, you'd better leave early, I think the Taoist priest will come back later," Huluzi stood up and said.
"Thank you Shaoxia for the reminder, let's go?" As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up the young woman and the child and hurriedly left towards the back of the inn, and the innkeepers also ran away during the previous fight.
"Thank you, brother," the little boy said as he looked for Tong Yu and the gourd in the distance and shook his hand. Tong Yu and Huluzi responded with a smile.
"It's over~ There's nothing to eat again, let's go to the next inn and have a look," Tong Yu touched his stomach and said.
In an underground part of Sanssouci City
There was a pungent smell of potions everywhere, and there were all kinds of iron cages hanging here and there, and men and women were locked up in the iron cages, all of whom were undressed, but their bodies seemed to be terrifying, some were scorpion arms, and some were tiger heads, extremely weird, and everyone had a terrifying expression on their faces.
In the distance of the iron cage, piled with corpses?
A strong middle-aged man was sitting bare-chested next to a Dan furnace, looking at the scroll in his hand and then at the person in the iron cage
