Chapter 714: The Dart Master (6,000 words)

"What?" Lingxiu Zi was stunned for a moment, followed his fingers and looked down, and after seeing those ghosts, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment before trying to answer, "There are a lot of ghosts and demons?" ”

saw the man shake his head: "No, you only see the surface, but they are actually just ordinary people who hope to have a stable life." Just as mortals have good and evil, and there are also types of ghosts who are unwilling to fight, this ghost market is a paradise left for them. ”

"But......" Lingxiu Zi frowned again, feeling that something was wrong, "but they are already demons and monsters, not the same kind of human race, how can they truly coexist peacefully?" ”

"Haha, how do you know if you don't try?" The man smiled and pointed at him, "Actually, this is just my attempt. ”

"This ghost market turned out to be your handiwork?" Suddenly, the spiritual cultivator felt that he had probably guessed some truth.

The scope of this ghost city is so large, and the demons involved are even more numerous, and even the smallest forces are extremely terrifying when gathered, let alone here?

I'm afraid that only the true Immortal Buddha has enough strength to control the overall situation, so as not to cause trouble!

As a result, he couldn't help but be even more shocked in his heart.

This ghost market is the layout of the immortals, so I'm afraid that what I plan is even bigger than I think!

The man nodded: "Yes, it just so happens that one of the ghost kings here, the Dragon King, is like-minded with me, so I created this place with his hand." At first, there were only ghosts and monsters, but now the restrictions on mortals are slowly being relaxed. ”

"And the results are good, at least so far there have been no problems and no fights. On the contrary, there are a few accidental good fates born here, which can be regarded as a good story. ”

Lingxiu didn't speak, just listened intently.

"But there are still some flaws." The man's voice paused, and his gaze shifted from the ghost market on the ground to him, "There is still a lack of help from your righteous people. ”

"Only if you can accept my ideas, then you will have a chance of real success."

"At least, you can't object to it."

"What do you think?"

The spiritual cultivator thought for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "Since you have said so, what reason do we have to refuse?" ”

Rather, since it means that it is immortal, then success is almost certain, because there is no one who opposes it.

At this point, it would be better to support it quickly.

Although he couldn't agree with the possibility of coexistence between humans and demons in this immortal's mouth, he could only choose to believe it!

I believe that the strength of the immortals is enough to arrange everything!

As soon as his words came out, he felt that the "immortal" looked at him with appreciation, and the invisible pressure on his body seemed to suddenly lighten.

"Yes, since you have this kind of awareness, I don't need to say anything more."

"But again, if you have the opportunity, you might as well learn more about this ghost market. It should be quite an interesting place. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lingxiu Zi was about to answer, when everything in front of him became blurry again, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and everything began to slowly shatter.

When he suddenly regained consciousness again, he found that he had returned to the same place at some point, and there were several of his disciples standing next to him, and the place where the "immortal" was originally standing had disappeared at this time.

At this time, Wei Zhu next to him asked suspiciously, "Master, why are you suddenly stunned?" Can't we go yet? ”

Lingxiu Zi was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it might just be the scene that the immortal deliberately only gave him to see, and he sighed in his heart that his methods were profound, and he also turned around and looked in the direction of the ghost city.

"Ghost City, ......"

He muttered in a low voice, recalling in his mind what the "immortal" had said to him before, and he was very emotional.

He decided to believe it once!

"Don't go yet! Let's go to the ghost market and have a look. The spiritual cultivator said, raised his legs and walked in the direction of the ghost city, but this time he was no longer as cautious as before, but raised his head and chest, full of confidence.

After all, even the immortals have to come to see him, isn't it equivalent to the immortals supporting him? So no matter how many ghosts and monsters are here, what is there to worry about?

And as soon as he left, only the five disciples behind him looked dazed, and they hadn't come back to their senses for a while.

"Why did Master suddenly change his mind?"

However, this issue will be left for discussion later, and we must hurry up with Master first.

"Since you have already been here, you will lead the way, and you should take a good look at this place as a teacher." Lingxiu Zi said with a serious face.

Now he simply didn't even disguise himself, and appeared here openly.

When waiting to queue up for entry, the dress of a Taoist mage attracted the attention of countless ghosts, and there were a lot of discussions.

This is simply incompatible with the gloomy atmosphere of this ghost city, not to mention the demons who are already very sensitive to the righteous people.

But fortunately, no one really chose to do it, at most they looked at it strangely, and they thought it was very unbelievable.

……

And what no one knew was that above the clouds, Du Bai, who had removed the original disguise of the middle-aged man, re-showed the tall figure of the Dragon King, his eyes were fixed on the few Taoist priests below, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Although the plan was a little off, it was similar to what I expected.

And countless pink peach petals flew with the cold wind of this winter night and gradually converged not far behind him, and a burst of light flashed, and the delicate figure of the peach blossom demon appeared.

She looked at Du Bai's back with a pair of beautiful eyes full of adoration, and said respectfully:

"The king is really good! This hand bluffed the old Taoist priest and couldn't score the south, south, west, and northwest, and almost even his subordinates were deceived...... In this way, the old Taoist will definitely not dare to have any more objections. And with this breakthrough, it must be much smoother next! ”

Du Bai smiled, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Of course, he wouldn't say it directly, what he just showed to the spiritual cultivator was actually a real scene, even if a true Buddha like Fahai was reincarnated, he would be confused and could not be spared!

Because it was originally copied by him according to the scene about a part of the fairy world that he had seen in the dream of the Red Feather Great Immortal before, it was exactly the same as the real thing!

As for the immortal energy leaked "unintentionally", it is needless to say......

Thinking like this, he looked down at the spiritual cultivator touring the whole picture of the ghost market under the leadership of a few apprentices, and he couldn't help but breathe a little relieved in his heart.

Acting in such a good show is much more tiring than a real fight.

"Thankfully, everything was done successfully."

With the help of this spiritual cultivator, righteous people should no longer be particularly targeted at ghost towns. Even if there is still an old stubbornness, he can do it again.

Lest anyone think that his "immortal power" is also fake.

But before that......

He slowly raised his head and looked at the far east with a deep and distant gaze.

"It's time for me to fix all those little troubles from a long time ago......"

-------------------------------------

In the secluded woods, towering trees abound, and the ground covered with fallen leaves sometimes exposed and rugged roots, as if they were connected as one, like a dense fishing net under the soil, twisting and turning into the depths of the deep woods.

In the sky, a round of scorching sun sprinkled warm sunlight, and beams of light fell down the gaps in the leaves, although it was winter, the air in this space also seemed to be quite hot and humid in summer.

It was only at this moment that the crunch of heavy footsteps on the dry fallen leaves and the rolling of wheels on the mountain road could be faintly heard in the distance.

In this extraordinarily quiet mountain forest, it is particularly harsh.

Suddenly, a flock of birds was startled, and they spread their wings and flew into the distance, and after a fluttering sound dissipated, some variegated feathers slowly fell from the air, floating on the ground and falling leaves.

Until a pair of heavy stomps on it, when it is lifted again, only a deep footprint and a few fragments are left.

Then came the second and third, and the rolling wheels.

The heavy wagon, pulled by two horses, was covered with white linen, but it was evident that the heavy wooden crates sealed with oilcloth could be seen underneath.

Layers of protection, obviously the things stored inside are of great value.

The carriage was surrounded by men who were dressed simply and had a bold breath, with angry eyebrows, a sword pinned to their waists, and their palms held on the hilt of the knife at any time to be vigilant around them.

And there is a rather conspicuous Qin character embroidered on the back of their clothes, which should be the same brothers.

"Big brother, how far is it?"

A man's voice rang out.

Looking up, it can be seen that a man sitting on the roof of the car suddenly jumped down, holding a kettle in his hand, but it seemed to have been drunk clean, and even if the spout of the kettle was facing down, there were not a few drops of water spilled.

This person is relatively rare to have a big bald head, but there are two mustaches on the side of his mouth, which is quite a wonderful combination.

"Second brother, don't worry."

A middle-aged man who walked at the front with a more gentle breath looked back at him and shook his head slightly.

"I look at this map, we have only walked less than half of this mountain road, and there are still many ways to go, if you are anxious now, wouldn't it be in vain to give others a chance to sneak attack?"

"Our Qin family dart game, in addition to walking the rivers and lakes with martial arts, it is more important to be careful and careful, don't be impetuous!"

The eldest brother's gaze swept between the seemingly inconspicuous and dark trees around him, and he never relaxed his vigilance.

The more he walked on this rugged mountain road, the more he didn't dare to relax. He knew very well that there might be bandits and bandits coming out of those dark corners.

When the time comes, not to mention the goods escorted, even if you are afraid of your life, it will be difficult to protect it!

The bald second brother touched his smooth head a little helplessly and sighed.

"Big brother, I understand the reason, but this ghost weather is really weird, obviously this winter hasn't passed yet, why is it so hot here? My mouth was so dry that I drank all the water I brought. As...... Hey, big brother, will you let me have a drink? ”

As he spoke, he looked at his eldest brother with glowing eyes.

However, the eldest brother resolutely denied it and scolded: "Don't even think about it!" Second brother, do you know the rules of our darts? What if I get drunk and make a mistake while darts? We can't afford to lose face. As for the water......"

He untied the kettle from his waist and threw it to him, and said lightly: "I still have more than half of my kettle, you can take it and drink it." ”

"That'...... Big brother, what should you do? ”

The bald second brother grabbed the kettle in his hand and looked back at the juniors and disciples in his dart game, and there was not much water left on their bodies, let alone help them.

It is estimated that if this ghost weather continues for a while, they will really face the dilemma of running out of water to drink.

"Don't worry."

The eldest brother unfolded the map in his hand and looked down: "I see that this map says that there should be a small village called Suwon Village along this road, although it is not prosperous, it should be enough for us to replenish supplies." When the time comes, we will rest there for a day, and you can also drink two sips of wine to quench your cravings. ”

After all, don't talk about others, after escorting this dart for a long journey, he himself misses the taste of wine.

"Can you drink? Hey! That's amazing! ”

The second brother seemed quite excited, and even the juniors and disciples with the team were also refreshed, feeling that the originally tired hands and feet were also re-energized.

"Let's work hard, hurry to the village and settle down! I'll invite you to drink when the time comes! The second brother raised his arms and shouted, and suddenly several people around cheered repeatedly, and there were bursts of laughter, and the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere suddenly became a little cheerful.

It seems that even the gloomy environment of the woods has been dispelled a little.

It's just that just as they were hurrying away, they suddenly noticed a strange figure in the distance.

I saw that the man was dressed like an ordinary middle-aged man, and his clothes did not look like a rich man, but more like a poor talent who had read books.

The strange thing is that this person is sitting cross-legged on the side of the road, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if waiting for something.

It wasn't until he saw their figures appear that he smiled strangely, slowly got up and gave them a fist salute.

"Guys and gentlemen, are you going to Suwon Village?"

"Huh?"

Several dart masters glanced at each other, and they could see the vigilance in each other's eyes.

In this deserted and inaccessible place, an ordinary person suddenly appeared to ask for directions?

No matter how you look at it, there is a strange connotation to it.

For these dart masters who have been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, they are more careful.

"Who are you? Why are you waiting for us here? The bald second brother took the first step forward and questioned.

"I'm just an ordinary person who happens to be passing by." But the man replied with a smile, "As for deliberately waiting for you, I didn't have it, I just happened to meet it." ”

"But it just so happens that I also want to go to Suwon Village, why don't we go together, so we can take care of it?"

"Together? You yourself have long legs, and you haven't been hurt in any way, why don't you go over by yourself? The second brother looked at him and felt strange.

"It's just that I can't find a way to Suwon Village." The man sighed softly, his face a little regretful.

The eldest brother and the second brother of the Qin family's dart bureau glanced at each other, and there were some guesses in their hearts.

"Could it be that this person is lost?"

But it doesn't make sense. After all, there is only one road to this mountain, as long as you don't deliberately go deep into the mountain, you can get out with your eyes closed, how can you get lost?

Thinking of this, the second brother carefully attached his ear to the eldest brother and whispered: "Big brother, be careful of deception!" ”

The eldest brother nodded slightly, although his face was silent, but his heart was more vigilant.

Someone suddenly asked for help on the way to the dart and wanted to go together?

Eighty percent of them are wrong!

Maybe this person is the bandit's internal response, they may have set up a trap on the way to Suwon Village in front, just waiting for a while to meet with the outside and catch them off guard!

Although he has not personally experienced this kind of thing, he has heard several old-timers in the dart game mention it, and he will not easily believe it.

In fact, although these dart masters were thinking about everything and guessing all kinds of conspiracies, what the man said was indeed true.

He really couldn't find his way to Suwon Village.

Or rather, the road to the "real" village of Suwon.

He is Du Bai, who came here from a ghost town, although he has transformed into an ordinary mortal, there is not the slightest flaw in the eyes of outsiders.

But after all, the body is still the body of the Dragon King, even if the appearance is similar, but it is still not the unique vitality of a living person.

Du Bai guessed that it was probably because of this that he would not be able to enter the "real Suwon Village" as he did when the deity came here before.

This question is troublesome to say, but to say that it is simple, it is really simple.

As long as you find someone to "take him" into this Suwon village.

It just so happened that he came across such a group of dart chariots and horses, and he planned to blend in with them, but he didn't think as much as they did for a while.

And he didn't expect that because of him, this group of people would change their minds.

"Sorry, we're not going to go to Suwon Village, we're going to take a detour and pass through this mountain directly before dark!"

The eldest brother replied.

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at his fellow disciples and made some hints.

Of course, they can't let others know their next route, otherwise who knows what danger they will encounter.

The truth of this matter is mixed, it depends on what the person in front of you thinks.

Anyway, I and others will not choose to go with them.

In contrast, it is better to lose a chance to drink and rest than to lose your life.

Although the second brother was a little unhappy, he naturally understood the overall situation at this time, didn't say much, and obeyed the eldest brother's orders.

Du Bai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and it was a little strange that he had vaguely heard them say that they were going to Suwon Village, why had they changed their minds now.

But if they didn't want to go, then he wouldn't choose to force it.

After all, that place is not a good place, and there is an "evil god" hidden, maybe there will be some danger, and he can't force these people to take risks with him.

But at this moment, he seemed to realize something in his heart, raised his head to look at the sky, his eyebrows froze, and then he sighed softly.

"It's too late......"

"What's too late?" The dart masters were confused, and some didn't understand what he was talking about.

"It's about to rain hard, if you don't go to Suwon Village to take shelter from the rain now, I'm afraid these goods in your car will be in trouble......

Du Bai lowered his head again and looked at the carriage behind them, meaning something.

The boxes were carefully concealed with tarpaulins, apparently not at random.

I'm not interested in finding out what's inside

"Rain?!"

The bald second brother was startled, but after raising his head and seeing a clear sky, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately pointed at the other party and scolded with a smile: "You foolish person, why are you full of nonsense!" How could it rain in such good weather? ”

The others looked at him with strange faces, as if they were looking at a madman.

Could it be that the current bandits are so brainless and tell such lies that can be seen through at a glance?

However, under their strange eyes, Du Bai was not in a hurry, sat down again, and said lightly: "If you don't believe it, you can leave by yourself." I'll just wait here. I hope I won't see you again......"

The last sentence is also sincere.

If others don't want to provoke this kind of trouble, he won't force it.

The dart masters looked at each other, feeling more and more strange, and did not intend to stay here for long, so they whispered to each other for a while, changed the direction of progress, and found a path to walk.

The trail will take some long detours, but as long as it doesn't rain and it won't be delayed, they should be able to descend the trail before it gets completely dark.

When the time comes, it's still too late to find another farmhouse to rest.

At most, it's not as comfortable as originally thought.

However......

Plans can't keep up with the changes.

As they drove along the path for some distance, they suddenly heard a thunderbolt in the sky, which shook them.

Everyone looked up in disbelief, and saw that in the sky that was still clear before, at some point, layers of black and oppressive dark clouds had gathered, and there was a great tendency of wind and rain to come, so that the branches of the trees around them were bent over, and the leaves were falling one after another.

"Unexpectedly...... It's really raining?! ”

The eldest brother and the second brother glanced at each other, and they could see the look of shock in each other's eyes.

Things really seem to be going the way the weirdo said.

"What should we do, big brother?"

The second brother looked at the long mountain road ahead of him and couldn't help frowning.

If we continue to move forward, it is estimated that it will not be long before the torrential rain hits.

At that time, it will be enough for them to get drenched in the rain, and their physique will not be sick and feverish, but if the goods escorted are drenched in the rain, it will be bad!

The eldest brother was also a little embarrassed, looked left and right, pondered for a while, and finally made a decision: "Go!" Get back! ”

"If it really rains heavily, I don't think even if there are bandits, they won't be able to attack us in such a heavy rain. What's more, that strange man can predict rain, and always feels that he should not be some kind of bandit, nor is he an ordinary person. ”

"Let's be careful this time!"

Having been instructed, the men turned their horses around and pulled the heavy wagons back along the ruts they had come.

At this time, the black clouds in the sky became more and more intense, so dull that people were a little breathless.

"It seems...... It's going to be a big rainstorm! ”
