Chapter 178: Someone is following
It was still a sunless evening, and the swordsman and Linglongzhi came to the third inn, and saw two bean-sized figures in the distance.
Linglongzhi said in surprise: "Senior Brother Jian, you see that there are really people who are not afraid of death, the little woman remembers that from this inn to the inn, it is two hundred and seventy or eighty miles, and there are no people in three or five days!" β
The swordsman said: "Maybe these two Taoist friends have urgent matters and need to hurry, especially unknown!" β
Linglongzhi said: "It's useless to guess more, just go in and ask!" As he spoke, he walked briskly towards the door.
The swordsman behind him reminded: "Fairies can't do much!" β
Linglongzhi didn't say anything, pushed the door of the store open, walked straight to the shopkeeper, and asked as she walked: "Little second brother, who are the two monks who are going downstream, why are you in a hurry so late?" β
The shopkeeper said: "Those two customers came to our store this morning and rested until the evening to leave the store!" I persuade them not to take risks, one of them is two hundred and seventy or eighty miles away from the inn, and the other is afraid of snow in bad weather, but the two not only do not listen, but scold the small one to get out. The little ones don't dare to persuade again. β
Linglongzhi thought for a while and said: "Such a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, why should the little second brother waste his tongue for him and disturb himself unpleasantly?" When he meets such a person again, let him live and die, what does it have to do with the little second brother? β
The shopkeeper said: "The fairy is reasonable, but the little one is unwise!" There is still one room in our hotel, can the fairy stay? β
Linglongzhi said: "Live! Live! First ask the little second brother to help the little woman put it down, and then serve two portions of wine and meat, the little woman and the senior brother sword have been on the road for a day, their mouths are dry, their stomachs are empty, and they are about to fill their hunger! β
The shopkeeper said: "Okay, let's come up for the two guest officers!" As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "A guest officer, two people with wine and meat!" β
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the swordsman walked to the table where Linglongzhi was and sat down.
Linglongzhi said: "Those two are really weird, they only came in the morning, but they left in a hurry after resting for half a day!" β
The swordsman said: "It's not surprising that people who like to rush at night are reversed by time difference!" β
Linglongzhi said: "Having said that, I always feel a little weird, but it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with us anyway." We just have to eat and drink enough and continue our journey tomorrow morning.
The swordsman said: "What the fairy said is extremely true! β
The next day, the white sky seemed to be lower, as if it was coming down little by little.
"Looking at this weather, I'm afraid it will snow in a day or two, and the two guest officers had better wait until the snow has fallen!" The shopkeeper sent the swordsman and Linglongzhi out, looked up at the sky and reminded.
"Thank you, little second brother, it's just that my senior brother sword must rush to Changshou Village before the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 - the second brother said that this time it will be less than seven or eight days, and more than one or two months, and the end is scaring the senior brother of the sword, how dare you delay more!"
"That being the case, I don't dare to let the two guest officers stay any longer, only when the snow falls, there is a blank for thousands of miles, and the snow footprints are lost, the two guest officers can try to follow the lake to avoid getting lost!" The shopkeeper reminded kindly again.
"The little girl must remember the advice of the little second brother, say goodbye, and don't bother again!" Linglongzhi said somewhat formally, and then turned away
"Farewell!" The swordsman smiled slightly, clenched his fists and left.
The shopkeeper looked at the sky and the two people who were far away, shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh: "The snow is coming again!" With that, he turned around and went back to the inn.
The road was predicted far away, and the two of them were mentally prepared.
"Senior Brother Jian, we really don't take any rest, just go all the way to the next inn?" After walking for most of the day, Linglongzhi brought up this issue again.
"When you get to the inn, rest well, two hundred and seventy or eighty miles, day and night, you can arrive in two or three days!"
"But...... But Senior Brother Sword, it's snowing! Linglongzhi suddenly looked up at the sky with a look of surprise.
The swordsman was stunned for a moment, and then looked up, and saw that large snowflakes were falling unhurriedly and melodiously.
The two of them involuntarily stopped, looking at the sky with a look of fascination.
"This is what snow looks like, it's really beautiful!" For a moment, there seemed to be a wonderful illusion, and the swordsman actually had a feeling of being far away from the world and flying to the void
"Is it the first time Senior Brother Jian has seen the snow again?" Linglongzhi raised her head and looked at the sky fixedly, flakes of snowflakes fell on her head and on her face, and she was so cold and cold!
"Master," Qiu Qian suddenly said, "Someone is following us, coming out of the inn to follow us all the way. β
"What?" The swordsman was surprised by the sound of his thoughts, and was about to turn around to look as he spoke.
"Don't look back!" Qiu Qian was busy with his thoughts.
The swordsman suppressed the urge to look back, was silent for a long time, and said: "I didn't expect someone to follow Jian so far, and Jian didn't even notice it in the slightest!" β
Qiu Qian's mind said: "This person is obviously a veteran, he must know the master's line, and he has pulled the distance far all the way, and only chases a few steps when necessary. It's well-intentioned! β
The swordsman thought for a while, and his mind said, "In this way, how should Jian Mou act?" β
Qiu Qian's mind said: "If the master is alone, it is better to get out, with the master's body method, there are few monks in the elite territory who can catch up, and if necessary, they can even fight with one of them to explore the strength of the other party, only with such a little girl by his side, it is really difficult to get out." β
The swordsman's mind was transmitted: "Dao Youxiu wants to beat around the bush, what is the good plan to say quickly!" β
Qiu Qian's mind said: "Although the servant has a plan, it may not be easy to use!" β
The swordsman's mind was transmitted: "Things are like this, no matter what the plan is, Daoist friends will talk about it first!" β
Qiu Qian's mind said: "The master still acts as before, killing demons when encountering demons, and rushing away without demons!" But if you encounter a large number of demon cultivators, you will make a fake and suddenly flee for your life; When the man saw that the situation ahead was not right, he would inevitably chase after him and come forward to investigateβwhen he was chasing urgently, he would fight with the demon cultivator, and if he hesitated slightly, the master could leave him behind! β
The swordsman thought for a while and said: "Although it is not a good strategy, it can only be so, everything is premised on ensuring the safety of the Linglong Fairy!" β
Qiu Qian's thoughts said: "The master is very righteous, and his subordinates should do their best!" It's just the same old saying, the master must pay attention to hiding his strength, and don't hurry up to practice that set of qi concentration methods. The servants don't dare to slack off, and strive to learn this set of mental methods as soon as possible, collect demonic energy, and better serve the master! β
The swordsman's mind was transmitted: "Jian Mou doesn't dare to slack off, he is showing people with lies, which is definitely not what Jian Mou wants!" β
"Senior Brother Jian, look, look, it's so big, it's a big snowflake!" Linglongzhi has already called several times.
"Fairy Linglong, we're going to keep going!" The swordsman said suddenly, and walked forward.
"Senior Brother Sword! Senior Brother Sword! Although Linglongzhi was a little dissatisfied, she hurriedly followed.
"Linglong Fairy," the swordsman suddenly said very seriously: "Don't look back at this moment, listen carefully to what Jian Mou says!" β
Linglongzhi's heart suddenly froze, and she responded very seriously: "Please give orders from Senior Brother Jian!" β
