Chapter Seventy-One: Little Spring City
The two sword-wielding swordsmen were both women, dressed in black robes, with veils covering their faces, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and the black robes were wide, and they couldn't tell whether they were in good shape.
Furukawa's move startled the two women in black, and the spirit beasts of the two of them were also two roe deer, one red and one purple, flashing in front of their master, with a protective posture.
The two women were naturally amazed when they felt the momentum of Furukawa, obviously they didn't expect that one person could emit the domineering aura unique to this spirit beast, and its strength was far superior to their own.
Furukawa didn't say a word, waiting for the other party to speak, but he scolded Huo Yue'er thousands of times in his heart, and he had to pull himself into this muddy water.
The three of Caicai also rushed over, showing a trend of encirclement.
The two women saw that the people were fiercer than the other, and they were a group, they glanced at each other, and then beckoned their spirit beasts, and hurriedly retreated, although their strength was not very good, their bodies were quite light, and the pace was fast and fast when they fled, which made people a little dazzled.
Furukawa didn't chase after him, thinking to himself: "These two people have a good step at their feet, and they should be proficient in this way." ”
When he came back to his senses, he gently pulled Huo Yue'er's ear with one hand, and asked fiercely, "Why did you save her?"
"Didn't you say that?" Huo Yue'er looked innocent, but she wasn't very afraid.
Furukawa couldn't cry or laugh, and said twice: "When did I say it." ”
"You said that she was like me at the beginning, and you saved me at the beginning, isn't this a hint that I saved her?" Huo Yue'er pursed her mouth.
Furukawa was speechless for a while, pulled Huo Yue'er's ears back, and then let go, pretending to punish.
Although Huo Yue'er felt that Gu Chuan's movements were slight and did not make a ruthless move, she also pretended to be in pain, covered her ears, and screamed.
Furukawa ignored her and looked at the woman in white.
The woman in white had a handsome face, her hair was messy, and a little of it was still sticking to her forehead due to sweat, but her breathing was extremely stable, and it seemed that she had not suffered major internal injuries.
However, the pair of earrings is indeed a bit attractive, Furukawa feels that it is brilliant, although it is luxurious but not jeweled, but quite elegant, and the woman's whole body is incompatible, curious, want to reach out to touch.
Before Furukawa's hand arrived, he felt the woman tremble, and she could be forcibly restrained, although it was slight, but it was still noticed by Furukawa.
Since Furukawa cultivated the way of heavenly machines, his perception was several times stronger than before, and this small action naturally could not escape his eyes.
Seeing this, Furukawa also stopped, I don't know why this woman woke up and pretended to be dizzy, could it be that she was afraid of me and waiting, and said at the moment: "Girl, since you have woken up, why bother me to wait, you leave quickly, don't be fed wild dogs." ”
When the woman in white heard this, she was instantly startled, and sat up straight all of a sudden, but the wound was involved again, and she sighed.
The action was so fast that Furukawa thought that she hadn't fainted.
The woman pleaded: "Childe, as the saying goes: Send the Buddha to the west, you see that I am seriously injured and chased and killed, can you bear to throw me into the wilderness alone?"
The woman could tell from Furukawa's words that he didn't want to take her with him.
Furukawa was suspicious: she actually took the initiative to ask us to take her, which shows that she is not afraid of us, so why pretend to be dizzy. said: "I'm sorry, we still have important things to do, and we don't have the elegance to travel with beautiful women." ”
Furukawa replied very politely, and by the way, he glared back at Huo Yue'er, who wanted to speak, with his eyes.
I thought that the woman would be entangled for a while, but she snorted, struggled to get up, and staggered away with the roe deer.
"It's a stubborn woman. Furukawa thought to himself.
This was just a small episode, and everyone quickly put it behind them and continued to walk the road with difficulty.
Along the way, there were few people, only a few beast shadows, and Furukawa also sensed a lot of eyes secretly looking at him, thinking that it should be the spirit beasts here who were secretly observing.
However, these spirit beasts obviously sensed the strength of Furukawa's group and did not attack.
Although the trail was tortuous and rugged, it was also shortened considerably, and when night approached, everyone came to Koizumi Castle.
It is said that there is a mountain in this small spring city, called a small mountain, there is a spring in the mountain, called a small spring, there is a family next to the spring, there is only an old woman in the family, but there is the strength of the imperial realm, I don't know where to retreat, only live the life of a recluse, like sculpture, often find their own stone carving, chat for their own pleasure.
"Let's find a place to stay and then find out what happened. Furukawa said.
Everyone found an inn in a remote place, but in order to save money, only three rooms were opened, one for Zhou Yi and Tujue, one for Caicai, and one for Gu Chuan and Huo Yue'er.
For this kind of arrangement, Huo Yue'er naturally couldn't ask for it, and she couldn't wait to stick to Gu Chuan's side every day. Furukawa is also happy, not because he likes Huo Yue'er, but because he thinks that this saves money for visiting the kiln, so why not do it.
Furukawa has not been emotionally moved for a long time, and his heart seems to have dried up, but the desire is like a waterfall down the river, becoming more and more rapid.
"Wait for us to go our separate ways, I will go with Huo Yue'er to find out about Lin Tianyu, Zhou Yi will go to understand the surrounding situation, the more detailed the better, Caicai and Juejue will also go to find out about Lin Tianyu's situation, this is an important matter. Furukawa directly arranged Huo Yue'er and himself together, not because they got along for a long time and had feelings, but Furukawa found several times that no matter how he arranged it, Huo Yue'er always stalked him for various reasons, and finally followed him.
Rather than this, it is better to give it a pleasure directly.
Huo Yue'er saw Gu Chuan's words, her face was cloudy, and she snorted: "Brother, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to join me." ”
Furukawa glanced at her, his eyes seemed to be about to rip off people, and then snapped his fingers: "That's it, let's go." ”
The people went their separate ways.
After searching for a whole night, the light gradually rose, there was a rooster in Xiaoquan City, I don't know where to raise the spirit beast, the sound actually carried through the whole city, the clean streets became busy again, ordinary people began to work early, and cultivators also embarked on the journey again.
Gu Chuan and Huo Yue'er went to the agreed place to meet together, but they saw Zhou Yi there alone.
"Zhou Yi, what about them. Furukawa walked briskly and asked Zhou Yi.
"Gu Gongzi, my subordinates don't know, I guess I have encountered something delayed. ”
Furukawa bowed slightly, but he didn't take it to heart, with the strength of Caicai and Sudden Jue, as long as he didn't provoke the princes and nobles here, everyone's children would not encounter any danger to their lives.
"What is the situation around here, what is the power, can you find out?" Furukawa asked.
"Childe, the origin of the name of this Xiaoquan City seems to be related to the stream called Xiaoquan on a mountain around here, but I haven't found out its mystery, but I heard that there is an old woman who lives next to the spring all the year round, and has been cultivated in the imperial realm, but I don't know what its spirit beast is. ”
Furukawa was secretly frightened. Empire, prefectures, counties, and cities are the third level of a national territory, and the strength of the imperial realm is probably only reached by the county lord in the imperial city or the stronger.
Just like Furukawa's hometown Mingwang County, its county lord is just a royal realm, but when Furukawa left home, he heard that he had improved again, and he only reached the imperial realm, but he didn't expect that there was a hermit in this small Xiaoquan City.
"The power of this Xiaoquan City is also peculiar, not headed by the City Lord's Mansion, but by a force called Juxian Pavilion, the City Lord's Mansion, Tantra, Caiyifang and other eight forces are in a state of starry affairs. ”
Furukawa was shocked again, and said slowly: "This is interesting, it is said that ordinary people in the city are headed by official forces such as the City Lord's Mansion, why do they condescend to a lower position when they come here, don't those officials above care?"
Zhou Yi suddenly looked flustered, and looked around, as if he had done something unseemly, took a step towards Gu Chuan, knelt in Gu Chuan's ear, suppressed his voice, and said mysteriously: "Gu Gongzi, this is the important thing I want to say." After speaking, he looked around again to make sure that there was indeed no one within a radius of ten meters, and then continued:
"That Juxian Pavilion is actually not a force, but more like an organization, there are no clear laws and regulations, but the threshold is extremely high, just like its name, only invite talents, not mediocrity. Speaking of this, Zhou Yi swallowed his saliva, and his voice was lowered: "Behind the scenes of this Juxian Pavilion is the Wood King's Mansion, and the pavilion master is the Wood King." ”
"The little prince we killed last time was his son. ”
"What? Then why didn't he stay in Xiaoquan City to enjoy his happiness, but ran away to the Water City. Furukawa's heart also jumped sharply, learning from Zhou Yi to lower his voice.
"He is the prince of the East China Sea Empire, and he can't go anywhere. ”
"Hmm. Gu Chuan groaned, his face solemn: "Then this time there was a disaster, and many people watched on the spot, not to mention that the corpse was not taken care of, and the city guards came, I am afraid that this matter has been stabbed to the wood king." ”
Zhou Yi nodded: "What Gongzi said is extremely true. ”
Huo Yue'er watched the two of them muttering for a long time, with a mysterious look, suspicious, and suddenly came to the two of them, shouting: "What the hell are you doing!"
Furukawa and Zhou Yi were both frightened, and each took a step back, not that their psychological quality was poor, but that the two of them discussed this time, each with their own thoughts, and gradually entered a tense atmosphere, extremely sensitive to the surroundings, and vigilant.
Huo Yue'er really scared the two of them when she came like this.
Zhou Yi was fine, but he looked frightened, but Gu Chuan grabbed Huo Yue'er, raised his arm, and was about to fight, but he saw Huo Yue'er's pitiful appearance, and he couldn't bear it.
Just as he was about to put it down, he suddenly felt that the demon in his heart attacked, and his mind was disturbed, and his blood was boiling slightly.
It is a sign of enchantment.
"I didn't expect soft-heartedness to be a kind of emotion. Furukawa cursed in his heart, and in a daze, the palm that had been stuck in the air suddenly accelerated, and he hit it mercilessly.
This palm can be described as sturdy.
Just listening to the sound of "pop", a clear palm print appeared on Huo Yue'er's face.
Huo Yue'er broke free of Gu Chuan, covering the beaten side of the face with one hand, her eyes widened, her face was incredible, there was sadness, anger, and an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
It's like watching a loved one betray you, and the feeling of heartbreak.
For a while, Huo Yue'er's heart swelled with all kinds of tastes, as if she had been cut in half, and the sour liquid flowed out.
"Furukawa! I'm really blind!"
An angry shout attracted the attention of the people around him.
Huo Yue'er turned around suddenly, stomped her feet and ran away.
Furukawa stood still, his face cloudy, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Chase her back. ”
After saying this, Furukawa pursed his lips and said no more.
。。。
Not far away, there was a heart-rending cry, everyone who heard it was sad, and everyone who saw it sighed and sorrowful.
