Chapter Forty-Six: A Small City in Western Sichuan
Qianli Sichuan-Tibet line, Tianqian Erlang Mountain.
When I was on the road, Ma Yiao and I were exchanging information about the classification of the Nightkin, which I learned from Chu Xiaotu's mouth, but I knew that the Nightkin was a very annoying thing for others to call themselves "demons".
Therefore, this so-called "living demon, flat demon or faith demon, big demon, demon king and the top flood demon" set will definitely not be an internal title.
In fact, Ma Yiao also admitted that this is what the Ranger League does.
In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the seven demon kings rose, and one of them even sat in the middle of the court, perversely, and the people in the world did not know how much suffering they had.
Their blows to cultivators were also unprecedentedly strong.
Where there is oppression, then there is resistance, what Heaven and Earth Society, Red Flower Society, all kinds of resistance organizations have arisen, and after suffering severe blows from the Qing court, they have turned into alliances and formed the Ranger Alliance.
Those cultivators who had a blood feud with the Nightkin and the Qing court began to actively confront them, and established a whole set of feasible mechanisms.
This hierarchical system was set up by several of the radical coalition members.
Later, it was found that this was similar to the definition of the title "Duke Bozi Man", or the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which had a miraculous effect on the fight against the Night Stalker.
It was able to determine the strength of the enemy in a short period of time, so as to arrange and deploy relevant personnel to target, so it became popular, and even the Nightkin used such a system internally.
Of course, this is an insulting set of ratings for extremist nightcrawlers.
The reason why I mention it is because I am thinking, what is my position?
Ma Yiao told me, what about you, logically speaking, the little demon, that is, the raw melon and eggs that have just awakened, but now you have the "Nine Xuanlu" as the benchmark, and have stepped into the path of cultivation, and you are talented, and there are many adventures, in terms of strength, and close to the level of the demon stage, and your soft gold rope long stick is very peculiar, it is an unspeakable powerful weapon, if you add it, it seems that there is the possibility of impacting a higher level.
Uncertainty, this is Ma Yiao's summary evaluation of me.
Of course, if I have passed all five tribulations, then 100% of the strength should be the foundation of the demon king, proper.
He doesn't know much about how to distinguish them, but he knows that in the northern Jinmen, there is a predecessor called "Tiezui Broken Country", and his status is very similar to the Xu Shao brothers who presided over the Yuedan Review in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
See through at a glance.
After communicating on the road and changing cars, we arrived at a small county town.
After the Xichuan Basin, we are on the western edge, the mountains here are majestic, the peaks and peaks are stacked, and the mountains here are more majestic than Xiangxi, and the view is like clouds.
When I got off the long-distance bus, Ma Yiao and I had a heated chat, and Chu Xiaotu, who had been well-behaved and silent beside him, suddenly said, "Do you know that person?" ”
I heard it, and I looked along her fingers, and saw a hunchbacked man, walking away with a burden.
I was a little surprised, I said I don't know, what's wrong?
Chu Xiaotu said: "When you were chatting just now, that person kept looking at you secretly, and when I looked at him, he naturally turned his head again, and he always felt like an insider." ”
Ma Yiao was a little surprised, and said no, when we spoke just now, we could lower our voices, how could he hear it?
Chu Xiaotu shook his head and said I don't know?
I was a little worried about the extraneous branches, so I asked Ma Yiao, saying why don't you catch up and ask?
Ma Yiao had a calm face, and after a while, he waved his hand and said that he didn't care about him.
We got out of the bus station and walked to the county seat, Ma Yiao asked us to eat, for this matter, I naturally did not have any intention of refusing, after all, as a foodie, and a person with a special study of cuisine, every time I go to a place, I especially like to taste the local food, and get different feelings from it.
Before, I also discussed with Lao Jin, and when I did it for another two years and had some savings, I would open a restaurant.
Lao Jin also felt that with my cooking skills, the restaurant would definitely not be able to lose.
A lot of people have eaten my cooking, and they are full of praise.
Unlike the big construction in the south, this small county town at the foot of Erlang Mountain is still in a quiet state, and after crossing a bridge, you can see antique wooden houses, standing on the side of the bridge, and a small stream runs through the street.
When we arrived, it was already dusk, and the old residents of the small county town were leisurely strolling along the streets, and the merchants were also very leisurely.
After some comparison, we picked a simple and clean small restaurant, according to the boss's recommendation, asked for a large plate of chicken, two large bowls of copying hands and a ** Mao Pear Wine, plus a wine stuffed rice balls, seasonal vegetables, etc.
Chicken is the famous bridgehead cold chicken, the chicken is accompanied by sesame oil, sweet and refreshing, and the chicken soup is fragrant.
It is made into wonton stew again, with thin skin and thick filling.
As for the pear wine, it is a fruit wine made from wild kiwi fruit in the high mountains, which is mellow and delicious, refreshing and beautiful.
When the waiter held it on a wooden tray and served it, the bright red color made people look at it and have a great appetite.
I rubbed my hands together and began to savor the food.
The food is satisfying, and the exhausting journey of a few days is much less at once.
Eating and drinking chicken soup, the tenderness and smoothness of the cold chicken make people have an endless aftertaste, and when I was immersed in the beauty of food, Ma Yiao next to me suddenly said: "Hurry up and eat, we are ready to go." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and said a little unwillingly: "Ah, what are I going to order again?" ”
Ma Yiao looked very serious and said that he would eat again.
I didn't know why, so I hurriedly finished the bowl of wonton stew in front of me, while Ma Yiao slapped the money on the table, and then got up and walked out.
Chu Xiaotu and I followed behind, I was a little strange, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Xiaotu has a lot more experience in the rivers and lakes than me, and replied in a low voice: "I was targeted, and I started from entering the old street, but it was not until I finally confirmed it just now." ”
Yes?
I subconsciously wanted to look back, but Ma Yiao, who was walking in front, seemed to know what I was going to do, and stopped: "Don't look back, follow me." ”
I didn't dare to move anymore and followed the horse forward.
He seemed to be quite familiar with this place, walking in the alleys of the old street, suddenly turning right, and came to an alley, and then turned again, and so on several times, he pulled us, hid in a narrow gap in the wall, and then blocked it with a bamboo basket.
The three of us crouched in the corner, and after a while, a few hurried footsteps came, and then a Sichuan voice sounded not far away: "People? ”
Another person said, "I guess they found us and ran away." ”
The man in front of him said anxiously, "What are you going to do?" The above has given a death order, you must keep an eye on this melon baby, don't let him escape? ”
A woman said hatefully: "Let you be careful, the result is all Ma Daha, now it's okay, people are shocked, right?" Why are you still stunned, looking for someone, who is that, Bai Qi, you take the old man's name card, go to the local Qingtou robe brother Hui to worship the pier, and let them also come out to help find it. ”
The first person reluctantly said, "This ......"
The woman is not happy, what is the matter, what I say doesn't count, does it?
The man didn't ramble anymore and said okay.
The three of them exchanged a few words, and then left, and in the night, a few of us looked at me and I looked at you, all of whom didn't know what to say.
How can you provoke such a person for no reason?
Ma Yiao was silent for a while, and then said: "I am here, I have a friend, I should be able to be trusted, come with me." ”
Under the cover of night, we walked cautiously, turning around, and came to a wooden house in the front and back yards.
This is already the edge of the county, Ma Yiao went to knock on the door, three long and one short, nine times, knock knock, knock knock, after a while, an impatient voice came from inside: "Who?" ”
Ma Yiao whispered, "It's me, pony." ”
Squeak.
The door opened, and a man with half of his face burned appeared, the left side of his face condensed, his mouth crooked, his eyes slanted, and his stiff face, it looked particularly scary in such a dark night.
However, his attitude towards Ma Yiao was not bad, and he said very enthusiastically: "Pony? You come, you come in, you sit in the house. ”
He took us into the house, and Ma Yiao introduced me and Chu Xiaotu, and then said to us: "This is Lao Qin, Qin Ankang, a friend of mine from before, Brother Tie. ”
Lao Qin beckoned us, and then shouted into the room, "Xiaobao, pour tea." ”
A little boy in a blue school uniform ran out of it, probably in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school, walked out, saw Ma Yiao, and shouted sweetly, "Uncle Ma." ”
When Ma Yiao saw him, he also smiled, and said Alas, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I've grown so big.
We sat down in the hall, and after the boy Xiaobao poured tea for us, he went back to do his homework, and the old Qin looked at Ma Yiao, sighed, and said Xiaoma, you are not coincidental at this time......
