Chapter 41: The Demon Girl of Qishan (1)
The land of Qishan, located in the middle of nowhere, my senior brother and I and Shen Xingshen walked together, after passing through a few towns, at first we could still see a few scattered villages, and then we traveled deep into the mountains, and the people were inaccessible, and even the residents and people could not see it.
Because there was a big war, even though a long time has passed, you can still see some traces of the aftermath.
The trees that were obviously split by the sword on the side of the road, the houses that were burned to ruins by the fire, and the occasional passer-by who were injured with broken hands and feet, you can see how tragic the battle on Qishan was.
Shuttling through the woods in the deep mountains, and walking for a while, only to see the smoke rising in the distant woods, I thought there were local people to spend the night, hurried to the front, but found that it was a tea shed that was not too big or small.
My brother and I walked over first, found a clean table and sat down, only to see the shopkeeper with a rag on his shoulder, and we called him several times, but he didn't answer.
When she was wondering, a beautiful girl in purple smiled slightly: "This boy and girl must be outsiders, I don't know that the shopkeeper here is deaf and dumb, and he can't hear you talking to him." ”
The girl sat in the corner of the tea shed, with a short knife on the table in her left hand, wearing a dark purple gauze robe, with delicate eyebrows and a fierce momentum.
I was about to speak, but my senior brother pulled me warningly, and then said: "This is strange, a deaf and dumb person opens such a tea shed in this remote place in the mountains, what guests do you want to greet, and how do you greet people?" ”
The girl picked up the tea bowl in front of her, took a sip of tea, and then said, "You just have to greet yourself and put the money in the wooden box over there, but it's ......."
She paused for a moment and showed a smile: "Don't think about deducting money, although this store is deaf and dumb, his eyes are very sharp, and nothing can escape his eyes." ”
This Qishan is really a strange place.
People are strange, places are also strange, my senior brother and I wandered around in the mountains and forests for most of the day, almost lost seven or eight times, no wonder Kunlun Men led so many people to attack Qishan, and there would be heavy losses, even Shen Xingshen would fold here.
This girl seemed to know Qishan very well, I glanced at my senior brother and began to talk to her: "Is this sister from Qishan?" ”
The girl in purple nodded and replied, "I am the daughter of the Orion family at the foot of this mountain, and I have come up to the mountain to do some business." ”
This sounds like a lie, and I have never seen a daughter of the Orion family carry a short knife like her, and she is full of charlatans.
Seeing her so secretive, it shouldn't be the person under the demon girl in Qishan, right?
Just thinking about it, I heard the girl in purple ask, "You outsiders, what are you doing here, aren't you here to exterminate the demon sect?" ”
I hurriedly shook my head, and listened to her again: "If it really is, then you are too late, now Qishan is already a barren mountain, and the people of the Demon Sect have fled in all directions." ”
I stopped talking, and subconsciously looked at my senior brother, but I heard my senior brother lie without blushing and heartbeat: "That's the case, we have a friend who used to participate in the battle of Qishan, but now he hasn't returned home, and the elders in the family are very worried, so they sent us here to find him." ”
The girl in purple sighed and asked, "But I don't know which sect your friend belongs to?" Kunlun Sect, Tianshan Sect, or Tianheng Dao Sect? ”
I heard that the main force besieging Qishan was Kunlunmen, but I didn't know that they had gathered so many people.
The senior brother chuckled lightly and replied: "It's not a sect, a stinky boy who relies on his three-legged cat kung fu and likes to get into trouble with people everywhere, talking about eradicating rape and eliminating evil all day long, and being coaxed by people with the words in the book, he ran here to die with his blood, and I don't know if it is safe at this time, and the elders in the family are worried." ”
The girl in purple snorted and said, "Then after you find him, you must tell him not to run around with others in the future, he thinks it is to eradicate rape and eliminate evil, and it may not be necessary to help the abuse." ”
Hearing this, I raised my head, and sure enough, I saw that the senior brother raised his eyebrows, and replied: "When the girl said this, it seems that she is a little suspicious of favoring the demon girl of the Qishan Demon Sect, and I almost thought that the girl was a person from the Qishan Demon Sect." ”
The girl in purple smiled again: "How is it possible, I am just the daughter of an ordinary Orion family under this mountain." ”
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Rhubarb and asked, "That little brother, what are you doing staring at me all the time?" Don't you know if men and women are kissed or not, should they avoid suspicion? ”
Hearing her say this, I also looked at Shen Xingshen, and sure enough, I saw him staring at the girl motionlessly.
I felt a little embarrassed, clenched my fists and coughed lightly, trying to remind him, but Shen Xingshen didn't react, and clenched my fists and coughed lightly, but he still didn't react.
Strange in his heart, he looked at him again, only to find that what he was looking at was not the girl, but the red lotus embroidered on the placket of the girl's clothes.
When I first arrived, I didn't want to be mistaken for a pervert like him because of Shen Xingshen's idiotic behavior.
So he stretched out his hand, pushed him, and whispered: "Shen Gongzi, Shen Gongzi ......"
Shen Xingshen suddenly came back to his senses, looked at me, then looked at the girl in purple, and asked, "Name?" ”
I was afraid that the girl wouldn't understand Shen Xing's habit of cherishing words like gold, so I hurriedly translated: "What he means is that he wants to ask the girl's name." ”
The girl in purple also stared at Shen Xingshen and replied, "You can just call me Zi Tao in the future." ”
After a pause, he turned around and asked, "Dare to ask this son's name?" ”
I was afraid that Shen Xingshen would report his name, and the other party immediately knew that he was Xuanzhen Immortal Venerable on Kunlun Mountain, that is, the head of the Qishan Demon Sect, and quickly intercepted Shen Xingshen's words and said: "His name is Rhubarb, and my sister will call him Huang Gongzi in the future." ”
The senior brother took a few clean gaps from the shop, brought a pot of tea, and said to the girl: "Girl, we are new to the place, we are not familiar with the place, how easy is it to find someone, I wonder if the girl can help us and show us the way?" ”
Zi Tao hesitated for a moment, and happily agreed: "I'm okay with me, you just need to give me some money, and I promise you." ”
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Shen Xingshen again, and I could see that she was very jealous of Shen Xingshen, and she was a little defensive.
After drinking tea and resting for a while, the senior brother took out a few taels of silver from his purse and gave them to Zitao, and we started to hurry again.
Walking on the road, Zi Tao asked, "I don't know where you want to find someone, do you want to go to the main altar of the Demon Sect?" ”
The senior brother replied: "Anyway, I'm here, so naturally I want to go to the main altar of the Demon Sect to have a look, maybe I can find something?" Don't be afraid, girl, we are all martial arts people, if there is any danger, you can leave us and leave. ”
Zi Tao chuckled lightly and replied: "This son is really happy, but the current Qishan is no longer the Qishan of the past, and most of the members of the Demon Sect have fled, and there is no danger." ”
The senior brother pulled me aside and reminded me in a low voice: "Be careful, there is something wrong with this person." ”
I rolled my eyes at him, revealing an expression that a fool knows, how could a daughter of the Orion family have the audacity to wander around the territory of the Demon Cult?
I just don't know what she agreed to lead us so quickly.
I also heard Zi Tao say: "The main altar of this demon sect is built on the top of Qishan, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, if you really want to go up, even if you know the way, I am afraid it will be until the next morning." ”
The senior brother replied, "It's okay, when the time comes, we will rest in this mountain forest for one night." ”
I thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively, "The girl looks very familiar with the territory of this Demon Sect?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and I felt that something was wrong, and when I said this, didn't it show that I was suspecting that she was a demon cultist.
looked sideways at the senior brother, and sure enough, he saw that the senior brother showed an expression of 'hating iron does not become steel' and 'children cannot be taught'.
I was stuck, and hurriedly found a step down: "It's me who is confused, the girl just said, your family is a hunter on this Qi Mountain, so you are naturally more familiar with this area." ”
Zi Tao was silent for a while before replying: "The girl's suspicion is not wrong, I did go to the main altar of the Demon Sect, but I followed my father up, are the people on their mountain, although it is a Demon Sect, but they always have to live, usually let the people under the mountain send some rice and noodles or something, it's nothing, we are the people under the mountain, I don't care about your famous and decent things to fight and kill, as long as you have money to make, you can fill your stomach." ”
I had an idea and asked, "Since the girl has been to the main altar of the Demon Sect, I wonder if you have ever seen the demon girl they talked about?" ”
Zi Tao was silent for a while, and said: "I've seen it, I've seen it, but I don't know what I'm saying, whether you want to listen to it." ”
The senior brother said: "If it's true, it's natural to be willing to listen, if it's a lie, let's treat it as a girl's amusement, and just add some fun on the way." ”
Zi Tao's footsteps paused, and after a moment he turned to look at us, and said slowly: "What if I say that the demon girl in your mouth is a very good person?" ”
"What?"
I can't react a little, after all, I've heard people say before that the demon girl on Qishan killed innocents indiscriminately, and countless people died at her hands.
Although Xu Kaiyang said that the demon girl on Qishan was their uncle Xiao Hese, I still couldn't believe it, after all, Xiao Hese was also a disciple of Kunlun Sect no matter how she said it, and she had been exposed to the Tao of teaching people to be good since she was a child.
Zi Tao lowered his head slightly, and then suppressed his expression, and said indifferently: "I don't know much about this matter, but I heard the old man under the mountain mention a story, if you want to hear it, I will tell you to listen, if you don't believe it, if you don't want to believe it, just like the boy said, just give you some fun on the way." ”
