Chapter Eighty-Three: The Fifth Poor Road
Because we were concerned about the safety of the Taoist priest, we waited for Ah Guang to rest for a while, and then immediately began to look for someone, but when I saw the river where Ah Guang rescued me, my heart couldn't help but sink.
I always thought that if I could wash me out of the river so far, it would not be small, but when I saw the river, I realized that it was not like that at all. What I saw in front of me was not so much a river as a mountain stream, no more than three or four meters wide, with the deepest point only waist-deep, and covered with rocks of various sizes.
The moment I saw the stream, I knew it must not be the main road of the great river at the end of the valley, and that it was probably the river that washed me into some tributary while I was unconscious. In this way, the chances of the Taoist priest and I rushing to the same place are slim.
I took a deep breath and said that even if the odds were low, I would have to find them, and the three of them immediately stopped staying and went out towards the lower reaches of the stream.
The stream is developed along the foot of the mountain, so the road on both sides is not easy to walk, but Ah Guang is very familiar with the situation in this vicinity, and he opened the way in front of him all the way, and Master Yuantong and I followed behind, but it was not particularly difficult.
We have been looking for more than ten miles along the side of the stream, but there is still no trace of the Taoist priest, and the next section of the stream because of the terrain and terrain, turned into the mountain again, I know that there will be no results if I look for it again, so I sighed and said to Ah Guang that there is no need to find it again.
Ah Guang scratched his head, and comforted me with some frustration: "Brother reporter, you don't have to worry too much, maybe your friend Ji Ren Tianxiang has been rescued by the people in the town, or else, when the master comes back, I will accompany you to the town for a walk." ”
Listening to Ah Guang's warm words, I almost doubted whether my previous impression of him was wrong. But soon, I caught a glimpse of the cunning hidden under Ah Guang's honest expression, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes, saying that this kid definitely had another purpose in wanting to go to town.
Sure enough, I was not mistaken, as soon as Ah Guang expressed his enthusiasm, Master Yuantong slapped him on the back of the head with a smile, and said in a mocking tone: "Stinky boy, you want to find an excuse to go to town again, have you forgotten your master's warning?" ”
Seeing that his mind was exposed, Ah Guang smiled, "Master, look at what you said, how dare I forget what Master said to his old man, don't I want to help the reporter!" ”
This time, Master Yuantong just shook his head, and did not dismantle his platform again, but looked at me: "Donor, it seems that your friend is indeed not nearby, why don't we go back first and then make plans." ”
I sighed, now I can only do this, I just hope that the Taoist priest will have better luck, but don't drown, otherwise I really don't know how to face him in the future.
We went back the same way, Ah Guang was a guy who couldn't be quiet for a moment, and on the way back, he kept asking me about the identity of the person I was looking for, and where was my home?
Before, thanks to him to save my life, at this time to deceive him is a little inauthentic, and the Taoist priest still needs his help, so I told him that my friend is also a Taoist, for some reasons, we entered Shennongjia, but the two accidentally fell into the river, which was washed here.
Ah Guang didn't react much to what I said, but asked a little suspiciously: "Shennongjia?" What is Shennongjia? ”
I was a little speechless, I said why is this guy so calm, it turns out that he doesn't even know where Shennongjia is. However, Master Yuantong obviously knew about Shennongjia, and as soon as I finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Reporter, you said you were rushed here from Shennongjia?"
I nodded, and said with a wry smile: "I know Master, you must think this is a bit fantastical, it's true, when I first heard Ah Guang talk about the location of this place, I also thought it was incredible, the distance between the two places is too far!" ”
"No!" As soon as my words fell, Master Yuantong shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Lao Qu does think it is bizarre, but this has nothing to do with the distance between the two places, so let's put it this way, if you really fell into the river of Shennongjia before you fell unconscious, then you can't be here at all, unless someone specially transferred you to this place during the period." ”
I saw that he was serious, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Master, why do you say that?" ”
"Amitabha, reporter, you don't know anything!" Master Yuantong recited a Buddha name, pointed to the mountain stream on the side, and then pointed to the verdant and deep mountains in the upper reaches of the mountain stream and said: "This river is called the Tong Styx River, which originates from the deep mountain underground thirty miles away, and is the black water of the earth's veins, which is not connected to the Shennongjia you said at all, and the two places are nearly 400 miles apart, so it is absolutely impossible to rush you here!" ”
After listening to Master Yuantong's words, I was also a little surprised, and my heart said how could this be possible? If it wasn't for the river that washed me here, how did I get here across such a long distance in a coma?
I was puzzled, but now obviously no one can answer for me, so I have to suppress my doubts for the time being, and only by finding the Taoist priest first can I know what is going on.
We walked and talked along the way, and soon we were back near the cabin.
After a few words of greeting with Master Yuantong, the master went back to the house first, and Ah Guang was ready to carry water and water vegetables. It should be added here that because the valley where the wooden house is located is very wide, most of the place is covered with thatch more than one person high, and there are other plants, and the two wooden houses occupy the center of the valley on the left and right, and there is only one path leading to the outside, and the land near the wooden house has been reclaimed into a vegetable field, which is two or three acres in size, and there are vegetable seedlings growing in it, and it is growing vigorously.
I had just woken up not long ago, and the injuries on my body had not recovered, and I wanted to help but I didn't have the strength, just as I was about to go back to my room to see if my phone was still in my backpack, suddenly, a petite figure appeared at the end of the path, and rushed towards the wooden house at a very fast speed.
By this time, I had seen the true face of the figure, it was a girl with a beautiful face, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a small pink dress, her pretty little face was full of horror, and she was screaming for help as she ran towards me.
I was a little surprised, and said in my heart, why was she scared like this, in this barren mountains and mountains, could it be that there was a fierce beast chasing her?
Just as I was wondering, a figure suddenly chased out behind the girl, and the moment I saw this person, I finally knew why she was so frightened.
The guy who suddenly rushed out was pale, tall and burly, one meter eight or nine, with a full forehead, a pair of eyes like eagle eyes, revealing sharp light, and a fierce look.
At this time, he was holding a sword, chasing after the girl with teeth and claws, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he was dressed in tattered clothes, full of mountain and forest robbers.
I immediately understood what was going on, and said in my heart that this was okay, in broad daylight, I dared to commit murder in front of the master, which was really unreasonable.
Thinking about it, I rushed forward without hesitation, this is now, I have learned the use of Yuan Qi, plus my body has been affected by the curse, and I have already been reborn, so I dare to take care of this idle matter, if it was before, I might have called someone a long time ago. Hua Heng College
My speed was fast, the girl's speed was even faster, it was only a few seconds of effort, and seeing that we were about to collide, the girl in the dress showed surprise and shouted again "Help me!" ”
I was about to pull her behind me, when I suddenly heard the ragged thug shout, "Little brother, help the poor to catch her!" ”
I said in my heart fuck your mother's eggs, you old boy does bad things, and you want me to be an accomplice, see how I clean you up later.
Thinking about it, I pulled the girl in the dress who rushed to me behind me.
The thief was overjoyed when he saw that I had really helped him catch the girl in the dress, but my next action made the smile on his face instantly dissipate and turn into a bad face.
I was about to let the thief get out of here, but suddenly I felt that something was not quite right, the hand, by the way, the hand of the girl in the dress was not warm at all.
I subconsciously turned my head to look, and I happened to meet the delicate and delicate face of the girl in the dress, but there was still a trace of horror on that beautiful face at this time, all I saw was a weird smile and a pair of fangs leaking from the corner of the other party's mouth.
"Oh no, it's a zombie!" This thought flashed through my mind instantly, and I immediately wanted to escape, but it was too late, I really believed in her too much just now, and I was defenseless at all.
Seeing that the pair of fangs were about to bite my neck, I hurriedly used Qi, intending to temporarily protect my neck with Yuan Qi, but after trying, I was shocked to find that my dantian was empty, and I couldn't even detect the slightest trace of Yuan Qi.
At this moment, I heard a swishing sound of wind flashing in my ears, and it turned out to be a long sword flying from me, hitting the eyebrows of the beautiful corpse.
The female corpse lying behind me fell slowly, and I jumped out in a cold sweat, and when I looked down, I saw that the forehead of the female corpse pierced by the long sword was spewing black gas, and the situation was terrifying.
Just when I was stunned, the man walked over, paused for a moment as he passed me, looked at me with a blank expression, snorted coldly, walked to the female corpse without saying a word, and pulled out the long sword inserted in the female corpse's eyebrows.
I have experienced a lot of thrilling moments, but this time it was purely self-inflicted, and I couldn't complain about others, so even though I knew that Lao Dao was dissatisfied with what I did just now, I still bowed to Lao Dao: "Thank you for saving my life, I was blind just now!" ”
This old man's temper was a little strange, and after I thanked him, he didn't say anything, but looked in the direction of the two wooden houses with a dissatisfied expression, and asked coldly, "Where did that kid die?" And what about the bald donkey? Could it be that he has only been out for a few days, and he has a burp? ”
Hearing him ask, I immediately understood the identity of the person in front of me, and said with some surprise: "It turns out that you are the master of Brother Aguang, please forgive the younger generation for being disrespectful......"
Before I finished speaking, Lao Dao already said with an impatient expression: "Don't pat yourself on the back, where did the two of them go?" ”
"Oh, Ah Guang, he went to carry water and water the vegetables, and as for Master Yuantong, he is meditating."
After listening to my answer, Lao Dao hummed, looked at me again, and then remembered to ask who I am?
I smiled wryly and said that I was the one who was saved by Ah Guang, at this time Lao Dao noticed the gauze on my right hand, and suddenly sighed softly, I hurriedly asked him what was wrong, but he did not answer.
"Since Ah Guang saved you, it means that the two of you are destined, the fifth poor road, Ah Guang's master, I look at your situation, I'm afraid you still need to recuperate for a while, so you can just stay!"
Although I heard Ah Guang mention his master, but I don't know what his master's name is, now listening to this old way, I can't help but be a little surprised, the fifth, the fifth long, this name sounds really weird, I just don't know if this fifth is the surname of the old Tao, or does he think he is the fifth in the world?
The fifth chief seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't continue to talk to me, but it happened that Ah Guang came back from carrying water at this time, and saw me and the fifth chief at a glance, and immediately shouted happily: "Master, you're back!" ”
As he spoke, Ah Guang had already put down the bucket and rushed over in a hurry.
"Hey, master, how did you get this virtue? Yes...... Who is this woman? ”
As soon as Ah Guang approached, he immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and shouted in surprise.
The fifth chief waved his hand with a displeased face, and scolded: "Where did the little rabbit cub get so much nonsense, hurry up," he pointed to the female corpse on the ground: "The background of this female baby is not simple, you have to save her corpse, you first put her in the morgue, wait for the teacher to change clothes, and go out with me!" ”
Ah Guang hurriedly nodded and agreed, and the fifth chief walked away regardless of it.
"Alas, it's so beautiful, what a pity!" Ah Guang rubbed beside the female corpse for a long time, with a look of regret, I rolled my eyes, and hurriedly helped the female corpse to his back.
I didn't follow him to the so-called morgue, instinctively, I felt that this matter was not simple, and the Fifth Dao Chief gave me a similar feeling to Master Yuantong, which means that he may also be a powerful character at the level of a big guy.
A master like him would make himself look like that, which shows that the things he encountered must not be simple, and the zombie he chased just now is not a good kind, you must know that all corpses are afraid of the sun, but the female corpse can survive under the scorching sun, which shows its terribleness.
As I expected, Ah Guang went to the morgue with the female corpse on his back and has not yet returned, and the fifth Taoist chief has changed into a yellow gossip robe.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, this is not false at all, after changing into a robe, the fifth chief suddenly seemed to have changed a person, and there was no longer the previous fierce and vicious, but gave people a sense of righteousness and majesty.
The fifth chief put his red wooden sword on his back, walked to the door and thought about it, then turned around and came to the door of Master Yuantong's house, and shouted unceremoniously: "Hey, bald donkey, if you haven't burped yet, throw me a Bodhi bead, I'll be of great use!" ”
