Chapter 41: The Eve
The combination of three people and two beasts at the gate of the city is Xiao Ke and his party, originally on horseback, but Xiao Ke's ominous premonition has worked, and there is indeed a problem with the wind horse, just three hundred miles away from Luoshui Town, it began to strain, and the four horses strained together, but it was not a big problem, and it could run, but the speed was a little slower.
After all, they were the best horses in a million, and they thought they would get better after a night's rest, but on the second day, the condition of the four horses did not improve, but it did not deteriorate, and the three of them ran away, just as the horses had eaten something they should not have eaten, and they had mild diarrhea.
But on the fourth day, when the three of them were about to run nearly 4,000 miles, the four horses suddenly lay down en masse, and the situation became very serious, vomiting and diarrhea, and wheezing.
Shook deduced that someone must have done something to the horses, but he couldn't think of who did it, after all, his enemies were still a little smaller, and there were only three capable of doing it.
Li Qian is a pharmacist, but not a veterinarian, he wanted to stare dryly, but Xiao Ke still asked him to give it a try, after all, he was in an embarrassing situation, he couldn't go up or down, he had to open the situation decisively, and he couldn't just wait in place, so what kind of evil would he be punished.
Li Gan treated the horse as a person, and poured a lot of unknown elixirs, and sure enough, the four horses died collectively, which became more and more determined by Xiao Ke's inner thoughts, someone gave the horse a ****, and it was reasonable that Li Gan could not be cured.
But now it's too late to go back to the sect to change horses, without the help of the wind horse, just relying on foot strength or riding an ordinary horse, there is no way to return to the sect in ten days, by that time, the blood essence stone of Huangsha City has already been auctioned away, and if you want to find the evil cultivator who hides his head and tail, he doesn't know that the year of the monkey has gone.
Fortunately, Li Gan had one more mouth, saying that the wind horse can die, but the armor must be protected, the armor is a secret of the sect and can be removed and used.
So Shook ran out into the jungle and brought out a huge tiger and a golden monkey with strong eyes.
The three brothers worked together to hit the armor piece on the white tiger's body, and it happened that this white tiger was still a first-order demon beast with the power of resisting the wind.
It's just that the tiger is a tiger after all, not as obedient as the domesticated wind horse, although it runs fast, but there are many emotions, such as not running when you are hungry, seeing a rabbit, a goat does not run, and the most excessive, every day at noon thunder can not move and nap for four hours.
Fortunately, Xiao Ke was a violent temper, and he punched and kicked the white tiger along the way, forcing the white tiger to run faster, and only arrived in Huangsha City on the thirteenth of this month.
didn't think about it, as soon as he arrived in Huangsha City, Baihu was disobedient, and he was cut by Xiao Ke, so it was best to throw him at the gate of the city to guard the door, saying that it was to make amends to the team leader.
At first, the team leader didn't dare to ask for it, but later, driven by Xiao Ke's violence, the white tiger actually shrunk his body to the size of an ordinary white cat, without the previous fierce and vicious overlord, but a pair of big eyes blinked and cute, maybe it just touched the captain's girl's heart, and immediately agreed to his subordinates White Tiger, and put it on his broad shoulders to lie down, like a mink tail.
After experiencing the episode at the city gate, Xiao Ke and his party did not stop their pace, and inquired all the way about the best inn in Huangsha City, the Dragon Gate Inn.
The inn is very large, about 2,000 square meters, with five floors of earth, stone and wood.
Eat on the first and second floors, live on the third to fifth floors, because of the blood essence stone, there are only three rooms left, and they just happened to be caught up by Xiao Ke and the three.
The room is on the fourth floor, and after paying the money at the counter, the shopkeeper led the room to the fourth floor, and after looking at the room, the three of them were more satisfied, although the room numbers were not connected together, but the three rooms were not far away, and Xiao Ke and Yuntu were still diagonally opposite the door, which opened the door for Xiao Ke to visit the door at night to ask for the elixir.
The three of them tacitly entered the room to either meditate and breathe or fall asleep, until night, after the nightlife of Huangsha City began, they went out separately, ate, and then went out to purchase, leaving the monkey in the room to watch the house.
Knowing that there is no chance of winning against the three brothers and sisters of the evil cultivator, so you need to do whatever it takes to purchase some ninth-rate props, Li Qian bought a ** that can turn over a rhinoceros and a scattered spirit grass, he is a doctor, and the help he can provide is, of course, rescue and poisoning, the scattered spirit grass is a herb that can transform people's aura, crush this herb, and smear the juice obtained on the weapon or hidden weapon, as long as the evil cultivator is hit, break a little skin, and let the juice go in to resolve at least half of the strength of the evil cultivator.
Yuntu has nothing to buy, flying knives and hidden weapons to fight stuffy sticks, these are the same, and after ten years with Elder Bai, he has only learned one trick to make talismans and talismans, and Elder Bai also gave a stack of talisman paper before leaving, it is enough for him to use these, as for the reason for going out, he was taken out by Xiao Ke.
As for Shock, he was completely different from his style along the way, he was silent, specializing in blacksmiths and grocery stores, and finally carefully exchanged ten sharp and delicate throwing knives, a steel wire soft armor, two five-shot crossbows, ten fine wolf-tooth arrows, plus a large bundle of rope and three shovels.
These things take up a lot of space, and they are not suitable for holding in the hand, after all, they are too attention-grabbing, and they can only be stuffed in the Qiankun bags of the three of them.
After purchasing, each of the three of them took a charcoal-grilled rattlesnake in Huangsha City's special snacks, and while stuffing it into his mouth, he walked to the inn, and when he saw the monks, he didn't forget to say hello with his oily hands, and the monks also smiled in return, but secretly they were stupid, brain-dead, mentally retarded, and the fragrance of illness kept echoing in their minds.
Xiao Ke has long guessed the thoughts of these people, most of these people are here for the blood essence stone, there are famous and decent people and evil crooked ways, the reason why it is so harmonious at present is nothing more than that the main owner has not yet appeared, one by one is not too public, on the surface it looks gentle, secretly I don't know what conspiracy and tricks are being calculated, and I don't know what kind of means to use against each other.
Xiao Ke didn't want to be topped by this group, so he had to lower their guard and be a fool in their eyes, so that no one would see him as an opponent to snatch the Bloodstone.
On the 14th, the Longmen Inn was full, but the guests in need still lined up outside, and the thin shopkeeper who didn't dare to get along with the money at all lit up his eyes lit up, and while letting the shopkeepers set up tents in the backyard, they communicated with the existing guests, letting them squeeze in and vacate the room.
So, on the 14th, the Longmen Inn received more than 100 guests under the operating conditions of overload pick-up, and the five-story building was overcrowded, although everyone was restraining their emotions, but the auction of the blood essence stone was approaching, coupled with the constant friction between the size and size, a strong ** smell rose in the inn.
Xiao Ke and the three of them did not agree to huddle together, not short of money, and lay in the room for a day, and only after night did they hurriedly go out to eat something and go to the dense forest outside the city.
Although Huangsha City has the word Huangsha in its name, it is surrounded by green waters and green mountains, which seems very incompatible.
At the beginning, Huangsha City was indeed located in a desert, and the green waters and green mountains were formed later, which was mainly due to the tenth Huangsha City Lord Ma Tengyun, who vigorously supported the residents to plant drought-tolerant trees during his three years in office, such as Populus euphratica, Pinus sylvestris, etc., in less than ten years, Huangsha City was submerged in a piece of green, and then evolved into a situation surrounded by dense forests on all sides today.
Xiao Ke and the three of them came out to set a trap, for this matter, Li Qian not only has no talent but also complains, in his words, this is a waste of time to do useless work.
No matter how well the trap is arranged, it is dead, there are so many roads, who can guarantee that the evil cultivator will definitely pass by the trap after he succeeds, if he does not pass by, he will be blind.
In this regard, Xiao Ke just smiled, did not explain a word, shouted to Yuntu and dug two big pits very hard, and inserted sharpened bamboos in the pits, each bamboo was coated with a little bit of the juice of the spirit grass, and then, a few more rope sleeves were lowered, and finally, two big trees were found to arrange the repeater.
Everything is ready to stop, Li Gan grew his mouth, he felt that Xiao Ke could be a qualified hunter, whether this trap is useful or not is one thing, but at least he is very talented in arrangement, if the evil cultivator accidentally runs in, as long as he catches one, it will most likely have to peel off his skin.
After finishing their work, the three brothers took advantage of the moonlight and hurried back to the inn, still, walking to the street still have a snack for each person, but from charcoal-grilled rattlesnake meat to tender roasted tofu.
The white and tender tofu is extremely smooth, grilled on the iron plate for a while, after the two sides are golden, then sprinkled with salt, chili noodles, and finally with a pinch of chopped green onions, the fragrance is incomparable, Xiao Ke did not hold back the gluttony in his stomach, and bought three bowls at a time.
When I went upstairs, I ate a mouth full of oil, just like I hadn't eaten in a few lifetimes, at the beginning, I still used a bamboo skewer to send tofu to my mouth one by one, and in the end, I directly picked up the bowl and poured it into my mouth, and the red, white, yellow and green fragrant tofu slipped into Xiao Ke's mouth like Xi Zhilang, and it entered the digestive tract before it had time to chew, and in the end, Xiao Ke rolled his eyes with a hot eye, but he didn't forget to drink the red and bright chili oil with green onions into his stomach.
Xiao Ke is trying his best to play himself as a fool, trying to make the monks in the inn lower their guard, it is very difficult for him to expose a little bit of his desire to punish the evil spirit, let alone expose that he has just laid a trap for the evil cultivators, in a place where the fish and dragons are mixed, there are evil cultivators who are not able to protect them, if they are exposed, they will not be far from death.
But the performance was too much, but it left a deep impression in the hearts of some people, as the so-called extreme must be reversed, many people have put this stupid bald head on the danger list, but Xiao Ke didn't know it.
