Chapter 503: The Empty City
Volcano still didn't give up, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although he is cunning and cunning, there is still some truth in what he said just now. The disciple still went to invite the two uncles of Guangyi and Guangyi ......"
"If the time comes when outsiders are needed to help, then I am not a generous teacher." Guangren smiled faintly, looked up at the moon hanging in the sky like a white jade plate, and said to the volcano: "There are still six hours, if you can get lucky enough to survive until dawn, it is almost a break from asking Tianlou......"
At that moment, after the still alive Fang Shi disposed of the remains of his companions, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were nowhere to be found. After smiling bitterly at the position of the two people who were sitting in the carriage, Dafang Shi said to the volcano: "Let's go, I hope the dawn will be sooner......"
After Hirohito finished speaking, the volcano had already ordered the convoy to move on. After walking through this section of winding mountain road, there is a county seat called Qingshan County in front. The county order of Qingshan County is called Fang Lai, and the county order of Fang is a believer in the Fang Shi family, and there should be no problem with him taking care of Guangren to survive for six hours.
At the beginning, in order to hide people's eyes, Volcano did not come out this time with a fellow sect with strong spells in the Fang Shi Sect. Sima Yuan, the only one who could help a little, also lost his life. At the moment, the convoy is basically relying on the volcano alone, and it is not easy to get out of the mountain. After walking two or three miles of the official road, I saw the city gate of Qingshan County in the distance.
Along the way, almost no one spoke, although someone's heart was in their throats. Now after seeing the county seat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Guangren promised that as long as he stayed up in the county seat until dawn, the convoy would rest in the county seat for a day. After returning to the sect, all the people present followed Master Dafang to study the Fa for a year. Although most of the monks present were Guangren's disciples, it was never possible to be guided by Master Dafang's hands.
Now after seeing the city gate, some of these little monks have already done it in their hearts, and they have learned exquisite techniques from the great fangshi. Then in the course of this year, Dafang Shi took a unique fancy to himself. It just so happened that Senior Brother Volcano died outside when he went out on business, and finally picked up a big bargain by himself, which became the dream of the next generous master after Guangren.
Just when a few little Fangshi were daydreaming, Guangren, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly frowned. Then his first apprentice made a frowning motion like Dafang Shiyi, and then, Volcano suddenly said: "The convoy stops, Guan Peng, you go to the city to investigate first." If anything unusual happens in the county, let us know using fire control to send out yellow fireballs. You don't have to come out of the city if you have nothing to do, you can just send out a red fireball as a letter, understand? ”
After Volcano's voice fell, a fat man in his thirties ran from the convoy guarding the guard. After saying yes and saluting Volcano and Hirohito, the man turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate. After using the spell, this little Fang Shi named Guan Peng disappeared in an instant, and he was already in the county seat.
Afterwards, Guangren and Volcano took the remaining monks and waited in place. However, after a while, I didn't see Guangpeng coming out of the city, nor did I see him giving a signal in the city. Eventually, the volcano was so anxious that a second alchemist was sent in to check on it.
Just when the volcano's gaze wandered around the dozen or so Fang Shi behind him, Guangren, who was sitting in the car, suddenly said: "No need, the first person doesn't come out, you haven't sent them all in......" Guangren's words were not finished, and he suddenly saw a red fireball coming from inside the county town.
After seeing this red fireball, except for Guangren and Volcano, the rest of the Fang Shi gave a sigh of relief, and the two of Dafang Shi and Volcano still seemed a little cautious. After the two of them looked at each other, the volcano divided the convoy into two parts, and separated a few monks to stay here to guard Lu Li, the big bird was too big to enter through the city gate. It can only be temporarily placed outside the city, and a few monks are separated to guard it. The rest of the alchemists followed the Great Fang Division and the volcano into the city.
Originally, with Guangpeng's signal, the city must be safe. However, when they arrived at the bottom of the city, they found that the two gates had been opened. Only torches were seen on the walls, but no sergeants patrolled the gates. Moreover, the inside of the city gate was also pitch black, and there were no soldiers guarding the city gate at all.
Seeing this, Volcano's brow furrowed even more. He glanced back at these fellow disciples, and then said to Guangren, "Master Dafang, disciple go in and have a look." I had a relationship with Fang Lai, the county magistrate here, and I asked him to come out to greet Dafangshi. ”
"There are two possibilities when you come out, the first is that we are gone, and the second is that we are still alive and dead." After glancing at the volcano whose face was a little red, Guangren smiled faintly, and then continued: "Since you have arrived at the city, there is no reason not to go in and take a look. Go inside, if you're lucky, the sergeants guarding the door are just deserting. If we're unlucky, it's the same wherever our master and apprentice die. ”
After Guangren said this, the hearts of the Fang Shi who had already let go instantly rose again. At the moment, a few people asked to go in and take a look at it, make sure nothing serious happened inside, and then come back to report. However, Guangren still shook his head, and after sighing, the generous master continued: "It's enough to take one Guan Peng, and there is no need to put you in too." Let's go, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I'll go in and have a look. ”
After hearing his master's words, Volcano took a step forward and walked in front of Guangren, nodded and saluted, and said to his master: "Disciple leads the way......" After saying the four words, he rarely waited for Dafang's reply, and he had already turned around and walked into the city gate.
Looking at the back of his disciple, Guangren sighed softly, and then walked into the city gate with him. After the disciples behind him reacted, they quickly rushed to Guangren's side, and more than a dozen people surrounded him.
After entering the city gate, walk on the streets of Qingshan County. I found that the entire Qingshan County was pitch black, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, the moonlight outside the city looked very bright in the past, and now I saw the moonlight shining on the streets of Qingshan County, and it turned into a miserable white.
After entering the county seat, I soon saw several low-rise houses. Volcano looked back, and there were already monks who had used calligraphy to pass through the walls and enter those homes. But soon the man opened the door and said to the volcano, "There is no one inside, but the stove is a freshly sealed fire, and the stove is still hot." ”
"No one ......" Volcano hesitated for a moment, then went to a few private houses to take a look, and after a moment, he came out of it with a frown and shook his head at his master. Then he said to the other monks: "You protect the master, and I will naturally block anything for a while." You protect the master out of the city, as long as the morning dawn master will naturally give us the master. Do you understand? ”
There was a bit of tragedy in the words of the volcano, and after these alchemists hesitated for a moment, they still agreed to their senior brother (master). The red-haired man then continued to open the way ahead, and the dozens of houses he encountered along the way were empty.
After walking forward for a while, there were more houses in front of me. Compared with the houses at the city gate, it looks much more magnificent. At the moment, the volcano sent three Fang Shi into these houses at the same time, hoping to find a living person inside and inquire about what was going on in Qingshan County.
However, the people of the volcano searched all the houses in this area, but they couldn't find a single living person. Just when these alchemists were a little overwhelmed, the door of what seemed to be a liquor store at the end was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Then I saw a man covered in blood staggering over.
"It's Senior Brother Guangpeng!" Those with sharp eyes have already seen who this man is.
"Guan Peng......" After seeing this person's appearance, Volcano suddenly shouted, and then said: "Don't go any more, stay where you are!" ”
