Chapter 13: The Human World
"Why don't you sit on pins and needles?"
"Like a man on his back, like walking on thin ice. ”
There was a "snort" sound between Bai Twelve's teeth, I don't know if he was amused by Chu Chensheng's suffocated play, or if he sneered disdainfully.
However, she quickly handed her hand to Chu Chensheng and said, "Let's go." ”
The two searched for about half an hour in the direction of stopping and leaving, and Chu Chensheng stood still and took out a xylophone from the lush weeds.
Bai Twelve reached out to touch it, and it felt very smooth under his fingers, and he could also feel the clear wood grain on the body. Then stroke the belly of the piano, and the word "good" is lightly engraved in the corner. The font is too old, and Bai Twelve almost didn't touch it.
Obviously, it is impossible to give birth to a piano in the wilderness, and this piano comes from a young master who is a good vassal and elegant, and has spare money and leisure.
When he was dug out of the mud by Chu Chensheng, he had been carrying a xylophone on his back, and he never unloaded it anywhere. At this moment, the piano was thrown in the grass, and something must have happened.
Bai Twelve touched the word "good" on the belly of the qin, the corners of his lips twitched, and without saying a word, he directly kicked Chu Chensheng's calf.
Chu Daochang's body was tough and withstood the kick, but there were more black footprints on the Dao robe that was already one size bigger and mopping the floor, which was very miserable. He also understood Bai Twelve's bad character, and even skipped the grievances, and said calmly and analyzed: "At this time, the sky is still bright, and the demon beasts will not leave the forest to come out to feed, and they must have been taken away by the people of Nanliang City." The whole city is on alert, everyone is very sensitive, long live understanding-"
Bai Twelve's face was slightly pale, and only his brows were still wrinkled.
I only heard Chu Chensheng sing slowly: "But I still have to find people quickly, Nanliang is under martial law, and I have been out of food for a long time, and I cannibalize people-"
Bai Twelve slapped Chu Chensheng's mouth and told him to shut up, threw off his sleeves and lowered his head and accelerated forward.
After a while, I saw the tower.
The wall tiles were made of unknown materials, and they were black. There were also several gaps in the tower, as if a giant had kicked the wall several times. The gates were wide open, and the scorched black fur was piled up inside the gates, emitting a spicy stench in the scorching sun.
The slaughtered Lanping City may be like this.
Chu Chensheng helped Bai Twelve to bypass those black and stinky furs, and was so smoked that he almost wanted to vomit, but his desire to survive made him suffocate.
If Nanliangcheng wants to show Bai Twelve this face, he has to die in a hurry—but he must be killed before he dies in a hurry.
The city was depressed and deserted. It was the middle of June, and I couldn't hear a single cicada. Nanliang City was dead silent, with only one or two flies buzzing past.
Chu Chensheng stood under the sun for a while, sighed and took out a yellow talisman from his arms, pressed it on the stone and folded it a few times to fold it out a talisman bird. As soon as the talisman bird took shape, it turned its head and flapped its wings, flew around the xylophone three times, flapped its wings and flew towards a façade, hovering in front of the door.
Chu Chensheng pulled Bai Twelve to catch up quickly, only to see that the move in front of the door only had a big word "gamble" written on it, and the threshold was extremely high, almost reaching Bai Twelve's knees, and it was covered with black Dao. These paths are arranged in groups of five on the threshold like chicken feet.
Chu Chensheng put his ear on the wooden door. It didn't matter what he heard, he was so scared that he almost jumped!
Through the wooden door, he could clearly hear a heavy pant from there, as if it were panting into his ears.
But Chu Chensheng had just bounced halfway when the door opened, and a withered black and thin hand stretched out from it, grabbed the placket of Chu Chensheng's robe and dragged him in!
He still had Bai Twelve in his hand, and the two of them were pulled in together, and then the wooden door slammed behind his back.
"Shhhh
It was very dark inside, except for the man who had dragged them into the room holding a small oil lamp. By the light, it can be seen that this man is dry and thin, and he is dressed in coarse cloth clothes. Probably because Nan Liang had been starved for too long and he had been hungry for many days, although this person was dark and thin, his eyes were shining, flashing with a kind of grabbing light.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable-" Chu Chensheng made a mockery in disguise, pronounced a loud voice, and said in a troubled manner, "The poor road came from the Brocade Curtain City, and I met this female benefactor looking for her younger brother on the road. The monks were merciful, so they came to ask her - have you ever seen such a tall and pure young man?"
"Everyone outside has been eaten by monsters, and if you're lucky enough not to eat it, it's here. The proprietor had just brought someone back from outside. The black and thin old man looked at the blind Bai Twelve and Chu Chensheng, who was obviously not very good, and raised the small oil lamp to signal them to follow, "It's also the owner's good heart, and he rescued people back, otherwise they would have been the same as the pile of things at the city gate." ”
"Good fortune, good fortune. Chu Chensheng nodded in a good manner.
The old man led them to a long table, which was littered with greasy bamboo tiles, apparently a ruined table. He put the oil lamp on the table, arranged for the two of them to sit down, said "wait", and went to the back of the counter by himself.
Chu Chensheng lit up the oil lamp closely, only to see the black grease on the table, I don't know how many layers had accumulated, making the whole table look very unsightly. Seeing that Bai Twelve was still picking at a few deep cracks on the table with his fingers, Daoist Chu hurriedly scooped her hand over: "Don't touch it!"
Who knew that Bai Twelve grabbed his mouth: "Don't scream." ”
“......”
Bai Twelve whispered again: "Listen." ”
Both of them have shallow spiritual power, and it is easy to listen to any movement in such a quiet environment.
I could only hear the sound of footsteps creaking with the wooden planks gradually going down, and the voice of the little old man said, "The boss has left two chickens today, and they will be killed as soon as possible."
Then someone responded to him, and his voice resonated with a heavy chest, it should be a fat man: "Where?"
The little old man said, "In the hall, there is a male and a female. ”
Chu Chensheng gasped and looked at Bai Twelve.
The latter couldn't give him a look at all when he was blindfolded, and he was silent for a while, and even pulled the corners of his lips.
"It's really a world that the Heavenly Master maintains. ”
