Chapter 45: Panic
Half a day had passed since Lan Wangzhi and Xiao Quan left, and Feng Xi hurried in the direction they left for two hours without seeing any trace of them, but fortunately, he heard the name of Gua Town earlier, and he didn't take the wrong path when he inquired along the way.
Yes, Feng Xi came out alone precisely to go to Gua Town, the town where a large number of ordinary people's corpses appeared.
Judging from Lan Wangzhi's description, it is very likely that it has some kind of relationship with the corpses that Feng Xi saw when he woke up, maybe the people behind it are the same wave of people.
If it was the same wave of people who did it, what was their purpose? Why did you live alone? Does it have anything to do with your background?
There were too many questions lingering in his heart, Feng Xi only felt that his head was a mess, and he didn't have a clue.
Thinking about it, I don't know when I walked in front of a forest, and the pedestrians around me were already sparse.
A passer-by who looked very dusty suddenly walked out of the woods, and Feng Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Excuse me, uncle, which direction should Gua Town go?"
The uncle paused, looked up at Feng Xi, there was obvious fear in his eyes, his fingers trembled and pointed in a direction, and said:
"It takes about ten days to walk through this woods all the way west. But the little girl asks what Gua Town does. It's an ominous place, and I can't go! ”
"What happened? Are you a resident of the town of Goa? ”
For a moment, Feng Xi almost guessed that this uncle was also a survivor of the massacre like her, and she was still a little excited at the moment.
But I saw that the uncle waved his hand and sighed:
"I live in another small town next to Gua Town, a few days ago something terrible happened in Gua Town, and there was no one left alive in the whole town! Now people in several small towns around Gua Town are panicking, and many people have begun to move with their families, afraid that they will be the next town to be slaughtered! I also went to the city to join my relatives......"
Feng Xi nodded, looking at the middle-aged uncle who had been on the road for a long time, and was already hungry and thirsty, she took out a handful of Lingyuan from her waist and handed it over.
The middle-aged uncle estimated that he did not have any body on his body, although he had a little embarrassed look on his face, he also thanked him and took it, and then shouted to Feng Xi, who was walking straight into the woods:
"Little girl, don't go to Gua Town!"
Feng Xi only paused in his footsteps, turned around and thanked his uncle, and then continued to move forward in his sigh.
The ten days that the uncle said was the speed of ordinary people, and the speed of a cultivator was naturally much faster, so at noon on the third day, Feng Xi was able to reach another town only thirty miles away from Gua Town, she slowed down, and prepared to find an inn to rest for a while before looking for Lan Wangzhi and them.
Sure enough, as the uncle said, the residents near Gua Town are moving, every house on both sides of the street is closed, and many pedestrians with packages on their backs can be seen on the street looking hurried.
The farther away from Splendid City, the fewer cultivators there are, because almost all of the people living in these small towns are ordinary people, and ordinary people only have a few decades of time in their lives, who would not spare their lives?
It wasn't until the street was almost exhausted that I saw an old inn that looked like it was some years old in an inconspicuous position, the marks on the gate had been weathered, and the thresholds of different heights could also be seen to have been trampled by thousands of people.
Feng Xi was about to go into the accommodation, but heard a familiar question from the lobby.
"Old man, where have all the people in this town gone?"
It's Xiao Quan's voice!
Feng Xi silently withdrew his half-stepped foot, hid sideways outside the door, and looked in from a wooden window with two holes. The first thing that caught my eye was a slightly rickety old woman, bending over to wipe a little dust from the table with a rag, and the old little square table was soon polished smooth and shiny.
The old woman straightened her waist, hammered her waist, looked up at the two people sitting at the table, coughed lightly, and then said with some trembling:
"You're from afar, aren't you? They've all gone somewhere else...... Ahem......"
There was another cough that was neither light nor severe, and it could be seen that the old woman's body was not very good, Xiao Quan wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Lan Wangzhi.
"Alas! It's not because of the incident in Gua Town, the big guys are so scared that they want to go out to hide from the wind first, and then come back after a while. ”
An old man came over at some point, carrying a pot of tea that had just been brewed, and poured it into the cup while filling in what the old woman had not finished saying.
The old man's hair was already gray, but his body bones looked much tougher than the old woman's, and it could be seen from the mannerisms of the two that this was an elderly couple.
"Why didn't those two old men go with them?"
Xiao Quan still asked the doubts in his heart.
The old man shook his head and sighed:
"We have reached this age, we have earned one more day of life, and we have already seen life and death. Besides, we've lived here all our lives, and we don't know where to go. ”
After speaking, he glanced at the two young people in front of him, and said in a heavy tone:
"If you are in a hurry, please leave as soon as possible, this area has not been peaceful lately."
Lan Wangzhi thanked the two old men, indicating that he would only stay here for one night and leave tomorrow.
The old man didn't say anything more, but silently went upstairs to clean up the room.
When they were far away, Xiao Quan asked in a low voice:
"Hey, what kind of force do you think it will be, acting so cruelly, and not afraid of being jointly attacked by famous families?"
Lan Wangzhi pinched his eyebrows, and could see that he was a little tired from inquiring about the news all the way.
"Naturally, we are also afraid, otherwise we wouldn't have left any handles, even if we have the heart to crusade, we can't find it. Let's rest for a while, and we'll go to that town later. ”
Xiao Quan also nodded, and the two of them went up the stairs to the guest room on the second floor together.
Feng Xi waited outside the door for a stick of incense, and saw that there was no movement from the inn and two of them coming down, so he walked in gently.
The cultivator's ear power and perception are very keen, so when Feng Xi entered the door, he only put a few spirit yuan on the counter, and pointed upstairs, indicating that he wanted to stay.
Standing in front of the counter was the old man from before, seeing this, he hurriedly took Feng Xi up, arranged a room for her to live in, and when he went downstairs, he said to himself with regret on his face:
"What a pity! So a girl with a water spirit, she was dumb, alas......"
Feng Xi could faintly hear the old man's voice, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and he smiled dumbly.
Feng Xi meditated and breathed, and tried to call Zi Mo, but he didn't expect to receive a response. Tried to enter the sea of knowledge, but also failed again, sure enough, the last time on the mountain of Qiyang, I just entered the sea of knowledge by mistake, but she was not greedy, after trying to no avail, she still carefully absorbed the aura around her, she is now stable in the realm of the second-order great spirit master, faintly touched the threshold of the peak spirit master, but always felt that there was something missing.
I don't know how long the time has passed, until the sound of "squeak" opening the door next door, Fengxi slowly opened his eyes.
