Chapter 343: Cooperate
In front of Chen An's eyes, the shadow's body collapsed in an instant like a bag of sand leaking. Seeing this, Chen An didn't move, and glanced down, and the clothes that the shadow was wearing before were scattered and falling below.
At this moment, there was an ethereal sound around the room, surrounding Chen An's ears, and he couldn't tell where the direction was.
"You came alone, which is a very foolish choice in my eyes. ”
Chen An cast his purple true eye, and only then did he see what the shadow looked like, he did not exist independently, but wanted to cling to the shadow of the object. Or the shadow under the bed, or the shadow under the chair, or... His shadow.
A fierce murderous aura suddenly appeared from behind Chen An, and a pair of sharp and slender claws with five fingers struck directly at the position behind him that was level with his chest, but he pounced. There was no limit to the number of times Chen An could use the Amorphous Wind Bead within five steps, and in an instant, he appeared on another chair, smiling and looking at the shadow.
The shadow snorted coldly, and once again hid in the shadows, as the candles in the room went out and the moonlight outside the window sprinkled into the room. The shadows of something in the room were stretched out at this time, and then began to twist and rush towards Chen An.
"Try my trick. ”
Chen An smiled slightly, and a round of disc-sized light appeared in the back of his head, which was extremely dazzling, and immediately dispelled all the shadows. This was a natural restraint, and the small size of the room, the light of the disc-sized sun that could fill the entire room, was also not good for him.
The shadow escaped from the room, following the shadows in the corridor, Chen An got up to chase after it, and after a little hesitation, swept away the things that fell from the shadows in the room, and then chased out.
It was late at night, and the noisy street had become deserted, and the moonlight had long shadowed the attics on both sides of the street. Chen An opened his purple true eyes to look under each shadow, and then wandered through the street unhurriedly.
He walked into a high-walled alley, his figure gradually engulfed in darkness, and the scorching sun returned, revealing a decadent figure, a drunkard. The drunk man covered his eyes with his hands and said in a daze:
"Huh, it's dawn so soon."
Chen An nodded and said lightly:
"Yes, come home with me. ”
The drunkard shook his head and said vaguely:
"I was abandoned and not going back. ”
Chen An sighed and said:
"But I want to go back, and since you don't want to go back, then you can lend me something and let me go back first." ”
The drunk man looked at Chen An suspiciously, puzzled:
"What's that?"
Chen An smiled slightly, pointed at the drunk man and said:
"Your life. ”
The drunk man was stunned when he heard this, then smiled coldly, his body turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the shadows behind him, and a disdainful voice came from all around:
"You can't take my life, but your life is mine. ”
Before the words fell, the shadows of everything in the entire street frantically surged towards the deep alley at this moment, and even the disc of the great sun, which was also entangled by a large number of shadows, lost its light.
The outside of the alley is as quiet as a pool of lake water, but the alley is deep but full of murderous opportunities.
The overwhelming shadow blocked all the way in an instant, and the shadow appeared, but it did not dare to expose the fluctuations of the transcendent realm, so as to enter the Xuan Shadow and strangle Chen An.
Under the strong pressure of this continuous squeezing, Wujian also slowly contracted towards the surface of Chen An's body, even if it would not be pierced into his body by the sharp cone made of shadows, he would finally be squeezed to death by the surging shadows like angry waves.
"Hmph, I can't help myself. ”
The shadow looked at Chen An, who was covered in shadows in front of him, and sneered.
However, the next moment, his hands involuntarily turned outward, and then all the shadows dispersed, and the sun returned, and the moonlight sprinkled like water, interlaced with a fiery and soft light.
"How... What's going on!"
The shadow looked at all this happening in front of him in disbelief, all of this was not his intention, as if there was a pair of invisible hands manipulating him, looking at the handsome young man who was slowly walking on the other side. He began to panic a little and asked:
"What did you do to me?"
Chen An didn't answer, and said coldly:
"Why did you kill those innocent villagers? ”
The shadow was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly:
"I've never killed only supernatural beings, I've never hurt mortals, if you want to kill, you can kill, why give me these charges, but before I die, I want to know what you did to me. ”
Chen An used his spiritual power to investigate, and when he saw that there was no fluctuation, his face showed a mysterious look, and he said with a smile:
"Do you think I'll tell you, but don't worry, I don't plan to kill you, I just need you to play a play with me tomorrow. ”
Hearing this, the shadow sneered and replied:
"What if I don't cooperate. ”
Chen An spread his hands and put on an indifferent expression, and the next moment, the shadow's body suddenly danced and made all kinds of funny movements.
After a long time, the shadow was already full of dull eyes and frightened, Chen An turned around, dropped a word and turned to leave.
"If you figure it out, go back to your room, I'll be waiting for you there. Don't try to play tricks, if you don't want to die. ”
As soon as he walked out of the deep alley and returned to the room where the shadow lived, Chen An's expression immediately became pale with pain, covered his head and hurriedly took out a small bottle from the coarse cloth bag, poured out a gray pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and then began to breathe.
After a while, his face began to improve, he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart:
"It's really a bit reluctant to forcibly control a demon clan in the transcendent realm, if the realm of the shadow is a little stronger, it will be me. ”
Suddenly remembered that he had heard the nonsense of the Yin Demon in the Purple Sky Secret Realm, and suddenly felt a little afraid, and said happily in his heart:
"Fortunately, the demon king ran fast, otherwise look at this situation, if you have two more breaths, it will be me who will be killed by the backlash, although the magic trick is domineering, but the consumption is also a lot, this trick will not be used until the last resort when facing your own enemies in the high realm. ”
At this moment, Chen Anxin moved, looked at the door, and saw a shadow sneaking in silently through the crack in the door, turning into a black shadow and standing in front of Chen An, looking at him with complicated eyes and some deep jealousy, and said:
"How do you want me to help you. ”
Chen An smiled slightly, and after spreading a clean spot outside the room, he excitedly talked to the shadow about his plan.
On the second day, a procession of wagons carrying goods came from far outside the city, and on the forest paths, on the horses escorted around the carriage, sat more than a dozen men with swords on their backs.
The man at the head of the man is burly, and he is the head of a dart bureau in Folding Sword City, and in recent days, there has been a demon robbery outside the city, which has made many rich shopkeepers panic, and also made them martial artists who are masters in mortals also have a lot of noise along the way.
The devil returns to the devil, and the dart returns to the dart, and when you encounter the devil, you may not die, but if you don't dart, you will slowly starve to death. The difference between the two can still be clearly distinguished by many dart players who live a life of licking blood from the knife edge.
However, what made these dart masters talk all the way, and what they couldn't think of clearly was that even the immortals didn't take him out. Why can't you get along with mortals' goods, only grab goods, and don't kill people, this is no different from ordinary mountain bandits.
Moreover, even the mountain bandits are ordinary mortals, and no cultivator would do such a thing, because in this way, it will inevitably attract the immortals to take action, and they will be served in a pot at that time.
Therefore, in the case of the devil robbing goods, not only the merchants who were robbed, but even the mountain bandits who usually robbed the road dared not speak out.
"Hehe, if you want me to say, that demon may have been a mountain bandit monk before, and he still can't change his habits after cultivating the demon head. ”
The head of the dart said this, causing a discussion among the others, and then he rode forward to the horse of a rich middle-aged man with a sad face, and comforted him:
"I said shopkeeper Li, if you are still not at ease, or our dart bureau will send this batch of goods back, I heard that other restaurants are like this. Don't worry, I won't charge you money this time, and don't you have a talisman that you asked for from an immortal, saying that it can be kept for a long time. ”
This rich middle-aged man was the shopkeeper of the restaurant who asked Chen An for a talisman yesterday, and he finally thought about it again, but he still didn't listen to Chen An's advice, and decided to take a risk.
In the words he scolded yesterday for those wives and concubines who tried to stop him, that is: You know, most of the restaurants in the city now put those ingredients and use the ingredients of the city instead, but how can those ingredients in the city make the taste of the past. If I were able to get that batch of ingredients in place at this time, it would be quite a windfall.
Shopkeeper Li shook his head and sighed:
"The competition in the dart shop where Liu Darthead is located is fierce, otherwise he would not have come to take on this dangerous job, and the same is true for me, there are many large and small restaurants in Folding Sword City, and there are countless of them. And I have worked hard all these years, and it seems that I have a bright appearance, but in fact, I have been losing money month after month, and if I don't make some money, I'm afraid I will close the restaurant. ”
Liu Darttou felt the same way when he heard this, nodded heavily, and even felt a little sympathy with Shopkeeper Li, and said angrily:
"Shopkeeper Li is right, compared to the current life of being able to eat a full meal and drink hot soup every day but running around, I also miss the happy days with my family in the past. ”
Liu Dart shook his head, smiled, drove away the nostalgia in his eyes, pointed to the path in the woods under his feet, and then said to Shopkeeper Li:
"Don't worry, we took your money and will naturally take care of things for you. We deliberately chose this road, although we will encounter mountain bandits, but it is better than walking on the road and meeting the devil. ”
After thinking about it, he added another sentence and said softly:
"But the ugly words are also ahead, if the devil is really eyeing this batch of goods, I hope that Shopkeeper Li understands. ”
Shopkeeper Li nodded, and didn't say anything, Liu Dart saw this, and said to the back:
"My brothers cheer me up, the road is not peaceful, beware of the horse's hooves. ”
The big men said yes in unison, drew their big swords at their waists, and looked around vigilantly while walking on their horses.
At this time, countless arrows flew around, but they were blocked by the sword skills that the big men couldn't splash in.
Two voices followed, one from above and one from below:
"You want the seat of your goods. ”
"This mountain is my way..."
Dozens of mountain bandits appeared in all directions, but after seeing the black-robed man who fell from the sky and was covered in a strong black gas, these mountain bandits swallowed their saliva unconsciously, and then froze on the spot, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
