15. Spirit Creature [51/100]
"Smack"
A small ingot of silver was thrown onto the counter of the Helo Inn.
This is outside Xuzhou City, and at this time it is already three o'clock, and the sky is completely dark, this sudden movement startles the guy who is dozing behind the counter.
He rubbed his eyes and saw three people standing in front of him.
Two men and one woman, both with hats, look like dust and dust.
"Two upper rooms."
A hoarse voice, coming from under the emaciated man's hat, said:
"If you want to be quieter, send two more meals to the room, it's best to have meat, not alcohol."
"Yes, guest officer."
The man put away the silver and quietly looked at the three people in front of him, the guest who opened his mouth carried a large wooden box behind his back, and he could see the hilt of the knife embellished with stars and moons.
And the female guest officer was petite and a little stiff when she walked.
As for the last person, he was born with a large body, and he was wearing a strange green robe, dressed like a singing opera, how strange it looked.
"Look at what you see."
The man's small movements were easily perceived by the Demon Lord, and he snorted coldly and said:
"Look at it again, and I'll pick out your eyeballs!"
The guy was taken aback and hurriedly lowered his head.
After a while, another man led the three of them to the backyard of the inn, which was very clean, with only two small houses, and next to it was a place for mules and horses.
Shen Qiu walked into a house with Xiuhe, took off the hat, threw it aside, took off the knife box, and moved his body.
In the past few days, I have been rushing repeatedly, because Xiuhe has already been made, and Ai Dacha will not take a carriage.
The three of them changed to fast horses, day and night, and it took only five days and four nights to gallop all the way from Suzhou to the vicinity of Xuzhou, which is already close to Qilu.
According to the current speed of travel, they will be able to enter the land of Qilu in a day and a half at most.
The Demon Lord actually didn't want to waste time staying in the store, but he and Shen Qiu could withstand it, but this Xiuhe organ couldn't stand it.
The true qi in her body is about to be exhausted, and she must rest for one night, and then Shen Qiu, a tool man, will "recharge" the machine person.
"Let's thump your back."
Shen Qiu took off his coat stained with dust and sweat, threw it into the wooden barrel to wash it, he leaned back in his chair and picked up the bamboo chopsticks.
The guy at the inn brought food, probably a lot of silver, so the dishes were good.
In the middle of the large plate, there is also a roast chicken.
The machine man walked behind Shen Qiu, raised his hands stiffly, and punched Shen Qiu's shoulders one by one.
"Tap!"
He said it again.
The movement from behind was a little lighter.
"You worm, you're not that stupid."
Shen Qiu tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, he picked up the bowl and said vaguely:
"I'll feed you when I'm full."
Behind her, Xiuhe naturally couldn't answer, and her vocal cords were removed.
After Shen Qiu ate half of the roast chicken, the door was pushed open, and Ai Dacha entered the house wearing a single coat.
It seems that he has just taken a shower, and even the strange little braids have been torn apart, and his hair is extremely messy, and the Demon Lord doesn't care.
Sitting opposite Shen Qiu, he grabbed the remaining half of the roast chicken and gnawed it.
This demon lord looked rude, but Shen Qiu had been with him for almost half a month, and he knew that Ai Dacha actually loved to be clean.
It's probably a habit that I developed in Mocheng since I was a child.
The Mo family loves cleanliness.
Their hygiene habits have surpassed those of the vast majority of people in this era.
"If you want to run in the streets, seize the opportunity."
Qingyang Demon Lord glanced at Shen Qiu, and he said:
"When you get to Qilu, it's not so easy to run."
Shen Qiu didn't say anything, just calmly finished eating a bowl of rice and rubbed his stomach.
He got up and sat on the edge of the bed, and with a call, the machine man Xiuhe walked in front of him, half-kneeling on the ground, and Shen Qiu's hand was on her forehead.
The Xueji True Qi in the body was continuously injected into Xiuhe's body.
The trapper's dull eyes became a little brighter, and the usurper Gu in her brain marrow became active in the full force of true qi.
The Demon Lord laughed.
Shen Qiu closed his eyes, and while maintaining the steady injection of true qi, he said casually:
"Since I promised the Demon Lord to find Xiao Tie, I won't break my promise, the feeling of the little needle entering the body is very bad."
"Huh"
The Qingyang Demon Lord suddenly sneered.
He didn't believe that Shen Qiu would be so obedient, this guy must have other plans, but he was quite obedient along the way, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
"Demon Lord, I don't know something."
Shen Qiu asked:
"Along the way, although I haven't asked, but I see that you are full of confidence, it seems that as long as you get to Qilu, you are sure that you will be able to find Xiaotie.
Could it be that you still have the secret technique of the Mo family that searches for souls for thousands of miles? ”
"Naturally, there isn't."
Ai Dacha picked up half of the pickled cucumber with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and the bite clicked.
He shook his head and said:
"If there really is, Lao Tzu will be the first to use it on your street."
"Then I'm more curious."
Shen Qiu opened his eyes, and he asked:
"The land of Qilu is so big, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, does the Demon Lord have so much time to waste? If this drags on for a long time, and is noticed by decent people, wouldn't it be very troublesome to round up again? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, this demon lord has his own way."
Ai Dacha picked up the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, glanced at Shen Qiu and Xiuhe, and said:
"Don't inject too much true qi, lest you make that usurper Gu's appetite bigger, and it will be very troublesome in the future, with your internal cultivation, you can inject four points."
Shen Qiu nodded.
He asked:
"Tell me how you can avoid decent recourse, so that my ignorant people can open their eyes.
In fact, since I entered the rivers and lakes, I have had doubts.
Although most of the people on this list are secretive, others also have traces to follow, but you, the Demon King, have always fought alone and don't like to be in groups.
But it is rarely hunted down by people with a heart.
But you haven't traveled thousands of miles to the wind, and ordinary people can't notice it, like you sneaking back to Suzhou, those decent people, and even the Mo family can't find you.
We have come this way, and no one has been aware of it, as if we have avoided all possible hidden dangers in advance.
The concealment of such unserved prophets is simply superb. ”
Shen Qiu blinked, and he asked:
"Demon Lord, how the hell do you avoid people's eyes? I'm really curious. ”
"Hey, hey."
Seeing that Shen Qiu praised him, Ai Dacha was a little proud, and for a while made Shen Qiu think that he could know this secret.
But after laughing, the demon lord's face turned cold again, and he said:
"You said it, this is a concealment technique, how could Lao Tzu take the initiative to break through this layer? Lao Tzu's sanity is indeed a bit problematic.
But are you really stupid? ”
But before Shen Qiu's expression could change, the demon lord rubbed his chin again and said:
"But if you really want to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's not really a secret thing anyway. It's just that you have to do something for Lao Tzu. ”
"What?"
Shen Qiu asked, Ai Dacha showed a cruel smile on half of his face, grinned his white teeth, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Kill!"
"Lao Tzu wants to find some materials and try one or two of what you call the downgraded version of Wuwei, but that fifty-nine old thing, the injuries left by Lao Tzu, make Lao Tzu not have to make a big deal in the near future."
Ai Dacha patted his back, and he said calmly:
"Lao Tzu has to recuperate with his heart, and you will do this murder and search for information."
"I don't kill good people."
Shen Qiu said:
"If it's a thief who has done something evil, then he will kill it, but the demon lord can rest assured that I will act alone, and I am not afraid of sneaking away?
Or secretly collude with decency to find you unlucky. ”
"I'm not afraid."
The Qingyang Demon Lord stroked the Sky Wolf Stick in his hand, and he said:
"It's better to come, what Lao Tzu said can't be used to use force, which means that you can't fight with the masters of the heavenly list and the good players of the earth list, those juniors come to send good materials, and it's too late for Lao Tzu to be happy."
"Okay."
Shen Qiu thought for a moment, and he said:
"I should come down, anyway, the demon lord doesn't need any good material, I'll go find some bandits and stubborns, and kill them. There are few other things in this land of Qilu, and this bandit can be everywhere. ”
"Whatever you want."
Ai Dacha stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Although it is a downgraded version, there are still requirements for materials, don't fool me with some waste materials! Well, 7 or 8 are so-so enough.
Anyway, it's just a practice of hands. ”
With that, the Demon Lord put his finger in his mouth and let out a long whistle.
This whistle is quite strange, the pitch rises rapidly in the first half, and after reaching a certain node, Shen Qiu can't even hear the whistle.
The frequency at which the true qi oscillates in the vocal cords of Ai Dacha is too fast, beyond the frequency band that the human ear can hear.
After the whistle was blowing, a moment later something flew into the room, as fast as lightning, and then folded its wings and landed on Ai Dacha's shoulder.
Shen Qiu fixed his eyes and suddenly realized.
It was a harrier eagle with bright black feathers, broad wings, sharp talons, a beautiful blue-gray feather around its neck, a hooked beak, and sharp eyes.
And it's aggressive.
Very beautiful birds, and Shen Qiu knew this kind of harrier eagle.
Isn't this the elite disciple of the Mo family, the crested eagle that everyone has.
But Ai Dacha's crested eagle was not the same as the five-nine giant and ink-black crested eagle that Shen Qiu had seen before.
It was larger, with delicate iron claws on its claws, which shone in the candlelight, and there were faint red spots in the depths of those eyes.
There was viciousness in his eyes, and the hooked beak was sharper, and the momentum was wilder and ferocious.
It's like an alienation.
The vicious beast was quite intimate with Ai Dacha, and when the Demon Lord stretched out his hand, it jumped on the Demon King's arm and rubbed its head against the Demon King's shoulder.
"Lao Tzu, this cloud-piercing beast is still mighty?"
Ai Dacha gently stretched out his hand and stroked the harrier eagle on his shoulder, his big and small eyes stared at Shen Qiu, and said:
This is the secret of Lao Tzu's unpredictable prophet.
Lao Tzu has domesticated through the clouds for more than ten years, and has the same mind with it, this spirit beast flies extremely high and fast, and its eyes are also very good, and it follows Lao Tzu on weekdays.
But wherever Lao Tzu goes, the movements within a radius of a hundred miles cannot be concealed from Lao Tzu at all.
In this big faction of rivers and lakes, there are such methods, but how can ordinary birds be the opponents of fierce beasts like Piercing Clouds? ”
The Qingyang Demon Lord patted the harrier eagle's head triumphantly, and with a wave of his hand, the fierce harrier eagle spread its wings and flew out of the window, as fast as a shadow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, you want to know everything on the street, and you can do things in a few days."
Ai Dacha clapped his hands, he pointed to his big and small eyes, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Now you also know why Lao Tzu is not afraid that you will slip away.
This cloud-piercing beast is Lao Tzu's eyes, unless you can travel a hundred miles in one breath, you can't escape Lao Tzu's Five Finger Mountain! ”
He threatened and turned to leave.
When he walked to the door, Shen Qiu suddenly said:
"That crested eagle was given to you by Wujiu Juzi when you joined Momen when you were a child, right?
Demon Lord, don't deceive me for being less knowledgeable, Momen is elite, everyone has a crested eagle, I still know.
In this world, only the people in Momen know how to domesticate crested eagles.
This kind of spirit beast, even if others can get it, they can't support it at all.
Demon Lord, you keep saying that you hate Wujiu Juzi so much that you want to kill him with your own hands, but you leave what he gave him by your side for a long time, so intimate.
This cloud-piercing beast is also your beloved thing, right? Could it be that love the house and the black can't be? ”
"You yellow-mouthed kid knows a fart!"
Ai Dacha turned his head and scolded viciously, his face-full of indifference was full of indifference.
He said to Shen Qiu:
"If you dare to spy on the heart of this demon lord, I will dig out your heart and let you and this Xiuhe girl be a loving husband and wife!"
"Bang"
The door was closed.
Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, it was really dangerous just now, although this Ai Dacha had a calm face, the killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
But he didn't lose anything.
Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and wiped it on Xiuhe's expressionless face in front of him, and he said to the organist:
"The teacher-student relationship between them is really bad, but in addition to sending letters, this crested eagle actually has such a purpose for detecting the enemy, but I didn't expect it.
Fortunately, I didn't run away before, otherwise my legs would have been broken. ”
Xiuhe just stared at Shen Qiu with godless eyes, waiting for the next order, just like a real tool man.
Those godless eyes have been looking at it for a long time, and it is indeed a little infiltrating.
"Go ahead, stop and rest."
Shen Qiu waved his hand, Xiuhe stood up stiffly, walked to the corner of the house, put up his hands, closed his eyes, and the usurper Gu in his brain also reduced the frequency of activity and entered a dormant state.
Shen Qiu washed his coat, put his clothes by the window, and slept with the knife case and clothes.
The next morning, when he got up to collect his clothes, he noticed that there was something more on his coat, and he rushed into Ai Dacha's room in a rage.
I saw that the Qingyang Demon Lord was feeding the cloud-piercing harrier eagle on his arm with a strip of meat.
It's like the dead fat house of the cat in the previous life.
"Explain!"
Shen Qiu threw his coat on the table, pointed to a few pungent khoops on his clothes, and said to Ai Dacha:
"Your plagued bird must have done it on purpose, right?"
"Oh?"
The Demon Lord turned his head slowly, looked at the ruined clothes, and said with a blank face:
"What are you angry with a brute? But seeing you so unlucky to hit the street, this Demon Lord is really relieved."
The nervous guy couldn't hold it anymore and laughed.
The damned eagle on his arm also tilted his head as if he was sarcastic, looked at Shen Qiu, and let out a few strange screams, so angry that Shen Qiu clenched his fists.
"Hahahaha, don't pretend, don't pretend, it's what Lao Tzu asked to do through the clouds!
What about you? Do you want to beat Lao Tzu?
Come on!
Lao Tzu lets you have two hands and two feet, and if you touch Lao Tzu, you win! ”
