Chapter 6 I'm definitely up to the job of a handyman
After coming down from that nameless mountain, Wang Dong suddenly realized a serious problem - he didn't know where the Xingzhu Valley of Zhongnan Mountain was, and even more seriously, he didn't even know where the Penglai Inn was, and the most serious thing was that he didn't know where he was now.
There is no map to navigate for him "all the time", and there is no hitchhiker to take the road.
The night was dark, and he stood at the foot of the mountain, looking around, not knowing where he was, not knowing where he should go. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go forward with my instincts, and wait until dawn to talk about it.
It has been almost two or three hours since I woke up in "Horror Jianghu", and the moon has already fallen into the western mountains, ushering in the darkest moment between heaven and earth.
This means that the dawn is coming.
The ancients often used the phrase "blowing away the stars in the sky and nodding to call out the Fusang Day" to describe people's desire for the dawn, and Wang Dong now finally realizes the deep meaning, and he now hopes to nod and call out the Fusang Day.
It's not enough to be afraid of the night, but the feeling of being in a different world and not being able to find the north makes him a little uncomfortable, too inconvenient.
Thinking of the bad handsome Chengyangzi and the white-robed guest, it would be nothing if they could go high and high like them, coming and going like the wind, even more convenient than hitchhiking, but unfortunately Chengyangzi did not pass on a hundred decades of skills to himself before the military liberation, otherwise he would have been floating in the sky by now...... It seems that that "protagonist aura" is indeed a one-off.
Thinking so wildly, he patted the Son of Heaven Treasure Seal and Iron Token hidden on his body, and felt that the series of things that happened not long ago were somewhat incredible, and there was a feeling of dream.
Let's ask, who would have thought that yesterday he was still a little-known shopkeeper who would never cause others to care, and today he has become a little-known shopkeeper with two treasures?
I have to say that Cheng Yangzi is really scheming, and it is precisely because he saw this that he gave himself such an important task, because no one in this world would have thought that the handsome iron token and the treasure seal of the Son of Heaven would fall on the body of a shopkeeper.
The sky gradually brightened, hazy, Wang Dong found himself walking on a spacious official road, although he still did not know where he was at this time, but he had a rough judgment in his heart, this official road must lead to the city.
Wang Dong quickened his pace, and just walked out of the road for a mile or two, when he suddenly met with six or seven horsemen galloping, all of them pretending to be angry horses, and their momentum was extraordinary.
The leader was a girl dressed in men's clothes, and the girl was slender and heroic, and she was bold and magnificent, and she did not let her eyebrows be shaved.
However, since it is a horseback ride, it must be just an ordinary warrior and not a cultivator like the white-robed guest and Chengyangzi, after all, how can a monk ride a horse?
Wang Dong thought so, and hurriedly flashed to the side of the road and let them pass, but the girl "shouted" and strangled the mount, only to see the black horse neigh, and the person stood up, saying stop and stop, and the horse was abnormal.
The rest of the riders also stopped.
"What do you do?" asked the girl, "why are you walking alone on the road so early in the morning?"
Wang Dong didn't expect the girl to take the initiative to talk, was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I am a guy from the Chang'an City Friends Inn, because I saw that the moonlight was good last night, so I sneaked out to admire the moon, and I forgot the time, and I only returned at this time." ”
"It's rare for an inn guy to have such a Yaxing. ”
Wang Dong smiled and said: "Chang'an City has gone through several dynasties of wind and rain, even the vegetable maid bartender, it is inevitable that he will be stained with some smoke and water, and he will be elegant under the vassal, which makes the girl smile." ”
"Did you just say that the Penglai Inn? is it the Penglai Inn on Suzaku Street?" asked the young man with clear eyebrows behind the girl's right side, looking at a girl disguised as a man.
"Exactly. The king shook his head.
Immediately, several people exchanged glances, and the girl at the head looked at Wang Dong again, and asked tentatively: "So, you don't know about the rebellion at the Penglai Inn last night?"
"Troublesome thieves?" Wang Dong was at a loss, "What are you making trouble?"
The girl pondered for a moment and said, "There were rebels at the Penglai Inn last night, killing all the dozens of people up and down the inn, and finally leaving a fire to burn the inn to ashes. ”
"What?!" Wang Dong was shocked, "this, how is this possible?"
Wang Dong's shock was not all pretended, he knew that the inn was destroyed by the white-robed guest, but the result of the inn being burned and all the people being killed was greatly beyond his expectations.
"We just came out of the city and saw it with our own eyes, can we still lie to you?"
Wang Dong's mind was racing, and he soon realized that this kind of ruthless method of destroying people's lives was most likely done by the government, and the purpose was nothing more than to cover up the evil deeds of the white-robed guest.
What kind of bastard world is this wanton slaughter and burning of innocent people in order to erase a person's crimes, and what kind of shit official mansion is this?
"Do you have any relatives and friends in the city?" the girl looked gloomy when she saw Wang Dong, as if she was moved by compassion.
The king shook his head, "I originally fled the famine and came to the Shendu, and I was lucky enough to be taken in by the shopkeeper, but now, I am homeless......"
The girl groaned for a moment and asked, "Then would you like to join my Red Line Gang?"
"The Red Line Gang?"
"That's right, it's the Red Line Gang, one of the three major gangs in the rivers and lakes......" The girl said this, her tone was not without pride, "You are a buddy at the Penglai Inn, you can just go to my Red Line Gang to do a handyman, you must be familiar with the road." ”
Wang Dong secretly thought: "Now that I can't go back to the Penglai Inn, I can't go to Zhongnan Mountain if I have nothing, so it's better to go to the red line to help me do temporary work." ”
Immediately said with a sincere face: "I have no problem working in the room, I am a good hand at chores, running halls, and helping cooks, and I can definitely be qualified for the job of handymen!"
After that, he silently laughed at himself: "What is there to say out loud with this kind of bitter self-confidence." ”
The girl at the head nodded, turned around and instructed a middle-aged man: "Second brother, you take him." ”
"Yes. The second brother responded and beckoned Wang Dong: "Little brother, get on the horse." ”
Wang Dong walked over briskly and stepped on the back of the second brother's horse.
The group stepped on the smoke and dust and continued to rush north.
Since the activation of "Horror Jianghu", Wang Dong feels that his real experience is also as dramatic as the game plot.
First, he witnessed a duel between two boss-level NPCs, and then was snatched away by one of them and received the quest from him, and then met the Red Line Gang and triggered the plot of [Joining the Red Line Gang]......
Just when Wang Dong thought that the matter would come to an end and that he would settle down in the Red Line Gang for a while, he never expected that the real highlight was still to come, and compared to that incident, the things that happened before were more like a series of foreshadowing that had nothing to do with him.
