Chapter XXVII

A dirt road, which winds its way along the foot of the mountain, is deserted except for the occasional rabbit-like animal, which jumps past and flickers by the small mound by the side of the road, and disappears.

It was completely dark, and a bright moon in the sky flickered in the thin clouds, Shu Kui lowered his head and began to think about the next plan.

In a fang ring, there is a tael of gold given by Jin Luoluo, and when she arrives where there are people, she can rely on this bit of gold to go to the capital of Shengze Kingdom, and then, ask Shi Shennuo to send her home.

As he walked, thinking, a little light suddenly appeared on the horizon, Shu Kui stepped up, and after a while, he came to a hut.

It's a small tavern, with adobe walls and wooden beams, and it looks crumbling and very basic.

Shu Kui walked to the door and saw that there were only three people inside, sitting around a table, one seemed to be drunk and lying on the table, and the other two were drunk, their faces were flushed, and they were talking loudly.

Shu Kui looked in, thinking of finding a waiter and asking about the path to the capital of Shengzeguo.

At this moment, the drunk man suddenly raised his head: "Man...... Someone...... Delicious......"

Shu Kui saw that he was oily, staring at him with a pair of drunken eyes, and a trace of saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help but be disgusted and scared, and hurriedly shrank back outside the door and squatted against the wall.

"People? Where are the people? When the two who were drinking heard this, they were both stunned, and then turned their heads and looked around.

"Brother Qi, don't pay attention to Xiao Liu, this time they are all going to the road, he didn't catch anyone back, and now, he wants to eat people and wants to go crazy." One slapped the drunk man the back of the head.

The man known as Brother Qi laughed hesitantly: "Xiao Wu, you Youlan have always been alone and don't often associate with us, so you probably don't know that recently, in their Kui Immortal, there is an additional mortal who is not the same as usual. ”

"Speaking of which, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Wu has actually heard of it.

"I heard from my friends in the palace that this person was picked up by His Majesty Jiuchuan in the Matama wood forest outside Haocang Palace." Brother Qi took a sip of wine, "It is said that she owes Jiuchuan a lot of money, and later she was invited to Shengze to play, and she still wants to run." ”

"Really?" Xiao Wu listened energetically, "Did that make her run?" ”

"Nope." Brother Qi knocked on the table with chopsticks, "Why did you say that things were so coincidental, she went to the woods and wanted to find the passage, but in broad daylight, she actually ran into the Xingtian lynx, and she didn't run away, she almost confessed there." ”

"Well deserved." Xiao Wu slapped the table, "If you don't pay your debts, you dare to run - mortals are like this, they don't keep their promises at all." ”

Hearing this, Shu Kui really wanted to jump out and explain all the ins and outs clearly, so that they could know that she was not such an unbearable person, but when she thought of the drunk Xiaoliu again, she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that as soon as she appeared, she would be immediately stuffed into her mouth and eaten clean with her belt bones.

"I also heard that His Majesty Jiuchuan asked that mortal to work in his Wanji Building, and also printed the family crest. Cough, what a waste, if I run into it, I will accept the good-looking ones and make them small, and the unsightly ones will be taken out directly. Brother Qi smacked his lips and began to fantasize.

"That's it, that's it." Xiao Wu echoed, "I also think this is the best, otherwise, what's the use of keeping a mortal?" ”

At this moment, Shu Kui outside the door was already shocked into a cold sweat, and with the remaining trace of reason, he told him to run quickly, but he must be careful.

However, things often do not go according to people's wishes, and when she stepped back step by step, she did not notice that there was a small pile of firewood not far behind her, so she stepped on it without accident.

"Click", although it is only a soft sound, but in this silent night, it is more terrible than the atomic bomb explosion.

"Who?" Brother Qi heard it right away.

Shu Kui shrank his neck, and no matter what he was careful about, he quickly turned around and ran away.

The two people who chased them out had drunk a lot, although they were not drunk, they were also dizzy, their feet were weak, and they looked at the direction of Shu Kui's escape, crooked, and their speed couldn't be faster.

"Resist the wind!" After running out for a while, Xiao Wu finally remembered that he was a cultivator.

Brother Qi was reminded, and he hurriedly took off the sword at his waist and threw it into the air.

After a while, Shu Kui only felt the wind whirring behind his head, and when he turned his head, he saw two black shadows flying in the air, getting closer and closer.

"Brother Qi, she has something on her wrist." Xiao Wu's eyes were sharp, and he faintly saw something.

"Oh?" Brother Qi suddenly became interested, urging the sword under his feet to speed up, blocking Shu Kui's way.

"Come on, come on, let my brother see your little hands." As he spoke, he grabbed Shu Kui's wrist.

Shu Kui felt a wave of disgust in his heart, stepped aside and dodged.

"Stop her." Brother Qi was unhappy, so he drew a circle with his fingers and asked Xiao Wu to step forward.

Xiao Wu got the command, and immediately flew to Shu Kui's side, the middle finger of his right hand and his thumb were interlocked, and with a slight flick, he immediately made a shallow pit on the ground at Shu Kui's feet.

Shu Kui was startled, and instinctively retreated, not wanting to return to Brother Qi.

"Little girl, don't be embarrassed, I heard that Jiuchuan Majesty is still reluctant to let you go, I think, you must have something special." Brother Qi smiled again, and looked Shu Kui up and down with a pair of eyes.

Shu Kui saw that he said dirty, his expression was obscene, and his disgust was even worse, and he also knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the two people in front of him, so he couldn't help but be anxious and began to look around.

"Little girl, you can't escape." Of course, Brother Qi knew Shu Kui's intentions very well, "No matter where you go, it's our territory, you can't run fast, you can't fly, so let's obediently follow." ”

Just when she didn't know what to do, the corner of Shu Kui's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the black mountain forest not far away, with the idea that being bitten to death by a beast is better than being ** to death, she gritted her teeth and immediately ran there.

Seeing this, Brother Qi and Xiao Wu couldn't help but glance at each other - this mountain is at the junction of Shengze and Youlan, high and steep, and there are few people in normal times.

"What should I do?" Xiao Wu hesitated.

Brother Qi thought about it and thought that Shu Kui couldn't run far, so he said "chase" in a deep voice, and then took the lead in taking the sword.

The forest on the mountain was very dense, and the branches and leaves almost blocked all the light, and Shu Kui had no direction as soon as he entered, so he could only grope his way forward blindly.

After a few steps, there was a white glow behind him.

She hid behind a tree and saw Brother Qi and Xiao Wu holding Jin Shengshi, who could only fall to the ground because they could not continue to fly, and as they walked, they used their weapons to push through the grass, and at the same time, they watched around vigilantly.

Shu Kui didn't move, because she knew that what Brother Qi said was right, if it was just a simple escape, she was not familiar with the terrain, and her speed was not fast, she would definitely not be able to get out.

As soon as he thought of this, Shu Kui slowly squatted down, picked up a fist-sized stone, and threw it hard behind Brother Qi and Xiao Wu.

The sound of the stone falling into the bushes was very loud, and they were all startled, but Qi Ge was quite cautious, glanced at Xiao Wu, and motioned for him to go over and check, while he stood still and did not move.

Shu Kui had already expected this to happen, so he picked up another stone and threw it in the opposite direction just now.

But unfortunately, this time, Brother Qi seemed to see the direction where the stone was flying, and began to slowly approach the place where Shu Kui was.

Shu Kui curled up, so nervous that it was difficult to breathe, and couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart, hoping that Jin Shengshi would fail and no longer emit bright light.

Originally, this was just an unbounded idea, but as soon as the thought came out, Jin Shengshi's light really shook, like a fluorescent lamp with an unstable voltage, and like blinking his eyes.

Shu Kui was unexpected, and after staying for a few seconds, he gradually became both excited and excited, whether it was a coincidence or not, and hurriedly continued to meditate in his heart, so that Jin Shengshi could be darkened.

Maybe it was because she shouldn't have died, so she didn't read it a few times, and Jin Shengshi's light became dimmer and dimmer, and finally disappeared completely.

"Who? Who's there? Come out quickly. Qi Ge had never seen such a situation before, and thought that there was a fourth person present.

Shu Kui took advantage of the fact that he was still in a panic, and had no time to care, so he hurriedly moved to the side little by little, and finally came out of the search range.

And Brother Qi looked around for a long time, but didn't find anything abnormal, so he cursed in a low voice, simply threw Jin Shengshi, and continued to move forward.

Shu Kui watched him get farther and farther away from him, secretly relieved in his heart, turned around, bent his waist, still small steps by small steps, and fled to the mountains.

Unbeknownst to her, she had not gone far before she bumped into a person's leg.

"Brother Qi, here, here!" Xiao Wu's voice sounded in the forest.

Immediately, Shu Kui felt that his arm tightened, and the whole person was lifted.

"How did you get here?" Brother Qi hurried over, looking puzzled, and kicked Shu Kui by the way, "What's the matter with my Jin Shengshi, is it your ghost?" ”

"What's wrong with your Kim Seung Seok?" Xiao Wu asked.

"It's gone." Brother Qi pouted.

"Really?" Xiao Wu also felt strange, "But she is a mortal, she has no ability to manipulate Jin Shengshi, is there anyone else here?" ”

Brother Qi spat on the ground, shouted and scolded Lin Zi a few times, and when he saw that there was no response, he gave up, asked for Xiao Wu's Jin Shengshi, grabbed Shu Kui's wrist, and looked at it carefully.

"It's really the Ling family's family crest." He squinted.

"Brother Qi, let's return her." Once the previous fantasy became a reality, Xiao Wu, who had already woken up most of the time, was still a little scared, "This is the king's man." ”

Brother Qi glanced at Xiao Wu: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows here that she is the king's person?" ”

Xiao Wu was silent.

"Brother, we have been guarding this place where birds don't for decades, and only we know the bitterness." Brother Qi continued, "Today, you treat her as a reward from the king, how about we find a place to have fun?" ”
