Chapter 124: Escape
Li Yan and a few people went down the back mountain path.
Along the way, no one was seen to stop them.
After a short time, he went down Maoshan Mountain and arrived in a nearby town.
"Boss, let's have a double room."
Li Yan arrived at the front desk of a hotel, put the money on the table, and shouted.
The owner of the inn was a chubby middle-aged man with a greasy appearance, and he was stunned for a moment, and said, "The four of you, only take one room?" ”
"Yes." Li Yan nodded.
It's not that he doesn't have money.
The money he got from Qiaojiaqiao was enough for him to charter the entire inn.
However, now they are fleeing, not out to travel and go shopping, too ostentatious to attract attention.
Take a room, mainly for safety.
The four of them shared a room, and one of them could be left to keep vigil at night, so that if something happened, they could escape in time.
After all, what he offended this time was the thousand-year-old sect Maoshan, if it was an ordinary small folk teaching, Li Yan didn't take it to heart.
The group of Taoist priests on Maoshan may have a thousand ways to kill people thousands of miles away.
The greasy boss showed a look of disdain, and muttered, "What kind of hotel do you live in if you don't have money?" ”
As he spoke, he reached into the drawer, took out a key, put it on the table, and said, "The third room upstairs, go by yourself!" ”
Li Yan didn't bother to take care of him, took the key, and went upstairs with Uncle Jiu.
……
The room is not big, although it is a double room, but there is nothing in it except two beds, a table and two chairs.
At that time, the guest rooms were simple, and if you wanted to use the toilet, you had to go to the backyard of the hotel.
"Come, senior brother, sit down."
After closing the door, Li Yan helped Uncle Jiu, cautiously, and sat down.
Uncle Jiu's face was a little pale, and he seemed to be extremely uncomfortable.
I was injured just now when I was working with Senior Brother Chen, and I had to go down the mountain all the way and couldn't rest, so the injury was also aggravated.
"Wencai, you go to the courtyard of the hotel and get a basin of hot water." Li Yan commanded.
"Okay."
Wen Cai didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to fetch hot water.
Li Yan looked at Uncle Nine worriedly and asked, "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”
Uncle Nine covered his chest, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay for my brother, I should be able to recover after a few days of rest." ”
Qiusheng frowned and said, "Uncle Shi, this town is at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, Master is seriously injured now, how can we get there tomorrow?" ”
When Li Yan heard this, his face became solemn.
Although Uncle Nine is a cultivator and his body is hard, the way back to Ganling Town is long, and if he doesn't stop, his vitality will definitely be greatly damaged and his injuries will be aggravated.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's not hurry, let's rest here for a few days, and when Senior Brother is better, we will set off again." ”
Uncle Nine was stunned and said, "How can this work?" We're in this town, it's dangerous, and if we find out, we're afraid we'll ......."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yan interrupted him and said: "Senior brother, listen to me, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, those Taoist priests may not search this town, let's be careful, stay here for a few days, and when your injuries are healed, it's not too late for us to leave...... If not, those Taoist priests will chase after you, and it will inevitably lead to a fierce battle, and if you are injured, it will only be more dangerous. ”
Don't look at Li Yan's weekdays, he is not serious, but at critical moments, he still knows how to distinguish between the important and the serious.
Uncle Nine sighed, a little helpless, so he had to nod.
Li Yan looked at him and asked, "Senior brother, do you have something on your mind?" ”
As soon as Uncle Jiu raised his eyes, his expression was gloomy, and he said: "Although Lei Jiutian said that he had done a lot of evil, he was a person in the Dao Sect after all, and he was a junior disciple...... You're too heavy...... Now, the entire Maoshan is bound to regard us as a great enemy, and we are not afraid of death as a brother, but ...... I'm afraid that I'll be affected by you, Wencai, and Qiusheng. ”
"Master, what did you say? Wencai and I, with the grace of your nurturing, are teachers for one day and fathers for life, how can we be willing to let you suffer that grievance? Qiusheng said.
Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "Senior brother, don't think too much, if something happens, I'll help you bear it, and you can see it...... Although these guys are powerful, they are still afraid of my artillery after all, and with me, nothing will happen. ”
Li Yan just comforted Uncle Nine and wanted him to relax.
After a while, Wen Cai fetched hot water.
Uncle Nine washed his face, then took a pen and paper, wrote a prescription, handed it to Li Yan, and said, "Senior brother, I'm tired of you, go and help me grab some medicine, I take the medicine, and my body may recover faster." ”
He suffered an internal injury, if he relied on his true qi to heal himself, I don't know how long it would take, with the help of some medicinal materials, he could also heal faster.
Li Yan took the prescription, settled the three of Uncle Jiu, and left the hotel.
……
The town is not big, but it is quite lively.
There is only one pharmacy in the town.
After Li Yan asked the location, he walked towards the pharmacy.
Along the way, I also met a few Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, which frightened Li Yan into being a thief and hurriedly bowed his head.
This town is at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, and on weekdays, the Taoist priests on Maoshan come down to purchase daily necessities, and they inevitably haunt the town.
Fortunately, most of these disciples who are in charge of procurement are disciples of the fifth generation, and their status is humble, and they have never seen Li Yan and others.
"Boss, catch the medicine."
Li Yan arrived at the pharmacy and handed the prescription in his hand to the owner of the pharmacy.
The boss took it, glanced at it, and said, "Little brother, there is a medicine in your prescription, and we have sold it out here." ”
"Sold out?" Li Yan was stunned.
The boss nodded, pointed to the prescription with his hand, and said, "This silver and blue flower is gone, huh...... It's the girl behind you, who just finished buying. ”
As soon as the boss said this, Li Yan looked back.
I only saw a young woman in a green robe, standing behind her, the woman was fair-skinned, blown-out, big-eyed, and high-nosed, she was a complete beauty.
On weekdays, if Li Yan sees a beautiful woman, he must take a few more looks.
But now, he is not in the mood for this.
Uncle Nine is seriously injured, but he can't delay, there is only this one pharmacy in this town.
Li Yan hurriedly asked the boss: "Then when will you buy the goods?" ”
"Restocking?" The boss said: "We all buy once every seven days, this silver and blue flower is used less on weekdays, so we don't buy much, if you want to buy, you have to wait three more days to go." ”
"Three days?" Li Yan was taken aback.
At this moment, the green-robed woman turned around and was about to walk out of the pharmacy.
Li Yan came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, and shouted, "Girl, wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?" The green-robed woman looked back and smiled, like a peach blossom, looking at Li Yan.
