Chapter Forty-Eight: Ash
The next day, Ye Chu got up, after freshening up, opened the door, but found a note sandwiched in the crack of the door: "Ye Gongzi, due to the dry weather, worried about the South China Sea, I, Huang Hetian, my junior brother Lu Ren in the door, and Huang Yueru, the little nun of Shuiyue Nunnery, have rushed to Jingshui Town in advance, please inform everyone not to worry, the mountains and rivers have met, and there will be a day when they will meet in the future, don't pass by, don't read it." Huang Hetian. ”
Ye Chu smiled dumbly.
When he handed this note to Ling Xiao of the Pure Yang Sect, Ling Xiao glanced at it and confirmed that it was Huang Hetian's handwriting.
"This stinky boy ......"
Ling Xiao was helpless, and could only secretly sigh that he had been spoiled since he was a child.
The two teams were a team, and Wang Hao, who was not in the team, checked out and set off.
Where did the boss of Yanyang Building dare to collect money, under Wang Hao's eyes, he actually exempted everyone's orders, Wang Hao held his head high, as if it was a trivial matter, but his eyes were aimed at Lin Xuewei at the end of the team, only to see Lin Xuewei frowning, and seemed to be a little worried.
A group of people set out, a team of more than 20 people, thousands of miles away, non-stop, running for five days before coming to the territory of the South China Sea.
This day finally arrived at Jingshui Town, everyone dismounted, were taken aback, only to see within a radius of 100 miles, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, the wall is broken, and the barren mountain road is not inhabited on both sides, a desolate.
Dusk is approaching, the sun is falling, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the dilapidated villages and towns, bringing a bit of gloom.
Ye Chu looked at the sky and said: "This town should be Jingshui Town, let's go first and find Huo Xiyan as soon as possible, so that we can know more about the remnants of the demon gate in the town." ”
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Ye Gongzi is reasonable, my Pure Yang Sect also has disciples lurking in the town, let's go into the town." ”
Wang Hao saw that everyone agreed, and he had no opinion.
Lin Xuewei didn't say a word, but she was the first person to walk into the town.
She didn't know if Lu Ren had already come, so she chased after her all the way, but she didn't even see Lu Ren's figure.
Could he have already entered Jingshui Town?
The roads in Jingshui Town were rugged and winding, and the weeds on the ground even faintly covered the road into the town, and I almost went in the wrong direction several times. Everyone walked from outside the town to a courtyard, only to see a deep mountain road leading into the dark distance.
By this time it was completely dark.
The lights on both sides of the mountain road are embedded in the stone walls, like ghostly fires that have been lit for thousands of years.
Ling Xiao stopped everyone and said solemnly: "Jingshui Town used to be the gathering place of the Blood Demon Gate, this road is narrow and long, I am afraid that there will be remnants of the Demon Gate ambush, I will go first to explore the road, just in case." ”
Ling Xiao is a master of the Star Realm, even if he encounters the demon gangsters, he has the confidence to retreat.
I saw that his figure flashed, and he had disappeared in front of everyone, and a strong wind swept by the mountain road, and the lights on the wall flickered.
Suddenly, everyone heard a sound of gold and iron on the mountain road, clanging, dense sound, but in the end it became sparse, followed by a strange sound, constantly echoing in the mountain road, making people creepy.
The crowd changed color.
Just when everyone was in doubt, Ling Xiao's embarrassed figure swept out of the mountain road.
"What's going on inside?" Ye Chu hurriedly asked.
Ling Xiao let out a long sigh: "A demon monkey, fortunately I went to explore the path first, otherwise it would be inevitable that the disciples of the low realm would be damaged, now the demon monkey has retreated, and the other end of the mountain road is Jingshui Town, let's hurry up and get in." ”
Lin Xuewei's face was pale.
Even Ling Xiao had so much trouble facing the demon monkey, if Lu Ren was allowed to meet him, would he still have his life?
She drew her sword, leaving a mark on the wall with the Sword Washing Pavilion's longsword logo.
Then engrave the word danger.
I hope Lu Ren didn't come before them, and if Lu Ren came later, I hope he can see this sign......
......
Fujian Ancient Road.
Huang Hetian sighed: "I just said that I can't listen to the little nun, now it's okay, I'm lost, right?"
Huang Yueru pursed her lips: "It's not that you drank two more glasses, you yourself drank dizzy and couldn't find your way, and now it's on my head, how can there be such a reason in the world." ”
Lu Ren only felt that his head was big.
Listening to them bickering along the way, they quarreled countless times, and their ears were calloused.
Huang Yueru snorted: "I knew that I wouldn't go with you, but I didn't expect it to be fun at all, the master who ranked first on the list turned out to be a road idiot." ”
"I'm not a road idiot. Huang Hetian was not convinced.
Whether he is a road idiot Lu Ren doesn't know, he only knows the road in front of him, he has been here.
Barren weeds, towering ancient trees.
And also
Three identical-looking black dogs on both sides of the road.
The black dog bared its fangs, saliva dripping down its fangs, as if it had been hungry for countless days and nights, and the dog's eyes glowed green.
"It's a ghoul mastiff!"
Huang Hetian's eyes lit up.
"We don't have a corpse smell on our bodies, this ghoul mastiff won't attack us, let's hurry up. ”
Lu Ren knew that the name of this kind of dog was the ghoul mastiff, and it only did it to the corpse, no wonder they were holding the heads of the ghost brothers in the first place.
It's just that the ghost brothers have been dead for three hundred years.
Could it be that these dogs also lived for 300 years?
Or are they just their descendants?
suddenly
He grabbed Huang Hetian.
"Go this way!"
"Obviously this way!"
"Do you know the road?"
“...... I don't know. ”
"I don't know what you're going to do, come with me, this way. ”
Lu Ren recognized the road, this road he walked in his dream, as long as he walked in the direction of the ancient road, beyond the Min village is Jingshui Town.
Huang Yueru's eyes flashed with a hint of color.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ren actually recognized Lu ......
......
The figures of the three of them faded away, and the black dog whimpered and barked to express their displeasure.
Out of the darkness came a wizened figure.
Gently stroke the dog's head.
said in a low voice: "Okay, the girl is there, it will be fine." ”
The black dog wagged his tail.
The night sky was dark, and a few crows on the ancient trees were quacking, and it was eerie.
......
Familiar courtyards, familiar mountain roads.
Lu Ren looked at the place at the beginning of the last dream, and couldn't help but sigh gloomily, the thin horse in front of the courtyard door had disappeared, and only a few broken bricks and tiles remained in the dilapidated courtyard wall.
"This is Jingshui Town?" Huang Hetian couldn't believe it.
Lu Ren nodded.
Huang Hetian glanced at him, "You can't be mistaken, Jingshui Town is also the lair of the Blood Demon Sect, how can it be like this, and how do you know?"
Lu Ren pointed to the mark on the wall.
Huang Yueru looked in the direction of his finger, "This is ......"
"The mark of the Washing Sword Pavilion has the word danger written on it, it should be...... It should have been Senior Sister Lin who told us that there was danger here. Lu Ren thought about it, and the remaining Sword Washing Pavilion disciples in the team were only Lin Xuewei.
No, there may be Wang Hao.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect Wang Hao to remind them.
Huang Hetian was overjoyed: "I knew that the fairy sister would not forget me, let's hurry into the town and find the fairy sister......"
"Aren't you afraid of meeting your brother?" Huang Yueru poured a basin of cold water.
Huang Hetian suddenly wilted.
Lu Ren smiled and said, "Even if there is danger, we must go over, this is the only mountain road into the town." ”
Huang Hetian retorted: "How do you know that this is the only one?"
Lu Ren was too lazy to talk to him, he couldn't tell him that he had been here for a long time before?
Huang Yueru agreed with what Lu Ren said.
Huang Hetian smiled wryly and didn't talk nonsense.
The three of them looked serious and walked into this deep mountain road cautiously. On the cloudy road, the lights on both sides flickered, like ghost fires.
Except for the rustling footsteps of the three people, there was not a single sound.
suddenly
A strange roar came from afar.
Huang Hetian stopped abruptly and said in a low voice, "You guys, did you hear any sound?"
Lu Ren frowned,
This voice, he is very familiar.
He said, "Senior Brother Huang, do you still have any leftover wine from last time?"
"When is it, you still think about my wine?" Huang Hetian's eyes widened.
Lu Ren didn't care about him, pulled off the wine bag on his waist, opened the cork, and a burst of wine fragrance wafted out.
In the dark,
A gray shadow limped down from the mountain wall.
"Come, taste ......"
Lu Ren beckoned at it.
The shadow hesitated a little, the person in front of him was obviously a stranger, but for some reason it had a little affection.
Because of the wine?
Maybe not, but because of the boy who was squatting on the ground and smiling softly at it.
