Chapter 4: The Journey of Master and Apprentice

When the master came out of the room, You Wuxian was still kneeling on the ground alone holding the "Soul Destroying Thorn", and he was distracted for a while.

In the past, I had heard a lot of stories from the elders, but they were not as shocking as what Master said in half an hour today. Only then did I realize that I was really like sitting in a well and watching the sky, but I had to digest it well. I can't help but be full of expectations for the future, and since I have decided to follow the master, this kindness will definitely be reciprocated.

Except for a few days of sadness and discomfort, You Wuxian has almost rested. During this period, I also went shopping with the master, but in fact, I didn't need much things, most of them were urgently needed for life and dry food.

He just started to contact him at such a young age, and his master's things naturally can't be used, and he may not necessarily have to sell them if he wants to buy them. The town of Nantong is very small, so there is no need to stay longer. Everything was ready and we went.

Master You has wandered the world all his life and does not have a strong sense of purpose. However, it was mentioned that he was going to a larger city to deal with the "Soul Bead", so the location was chosen in Bihai City.

Bihai City is the northeastern frontier of Hezhen Kingdom, located in the east of Nantong Town, and is an important distribution center.

It is bordered by Shuangfeng Kingdom and Jiusheng Kingdom in the north, Bihai Lake in the south, and the famous Anhua City across the lake. Bihai City is three thousand miles away from Nantong Town, passing through the unnamed forest and crossing the Qiandu River.

The Qiandu River is a tributary of the Shenmu River, and the river surface is wide, and you have to make a detour to take the ferry, so horses are indispensable on the road.

Master You bought a horse for his apprentice, You Wuxian was small, so he simply put all his luggage on the horse. After decorating, it was out of town. I rode all the way east and rode for two days.

You Wuxian has not seen much of the world, and it was quite fresh at first, but along the way, it turned out that the outside world was also desolate.

Walking on the road, almost all the way I encountered were corpse monsters! But with the master and the soul beads, they were all right. In the evening of the same day, we finally reached the Qiandu River.

It is dangerous to cross the river at night, there are no ferries nearby, and there are no inns to be found in the wilderness. So Master You found a high place with a good view and tied the horses. Seeing that the sky seemed to be rainless, I was ready to sleep on the spot.

They didn't make a fire, but they ate some air-dried beef and bread with water. Pulled out two shelter robes, wrapped them in shelter robes and slept with their clothes.

There are a lot of mosquitoes at night in the suburbs, and the insects chirp one after another. Occasionally, a strange cry would pop out of the grass, and I don't know if it was a frog or a nightingale.

You Wuxian couldn't sleep for a long time listening to these wonderful noises, and stayed up until midnight before he fell asleep. I slept slowly, but I didn't sleep deeply. Probably because my nerves have been a little tense recently, and I probably don't adapt to the environment, so I woke up at the fourth watch.

You Wuxian woke up with a spirit, and by the faint starlight, he saw that the master was still resting. It's just that the master slept weirdly, holding the demon mirror tightly with both hands, and there was a strange knot on his free fingers.

He didn't say anything at the moment, tiptoed up to release the water. I found a secluded place, and just as I wanted to start, my ears moved, but I quickly stopped what I was doing.

For at this moment he found that it was very quiet, and there was not even a sound of insects! His ears were very sensitive, and when he listened closely, he noticed that there was the sound of animals walking through the grass in the rustling ground in front of him.

It's good not to listen, but when he hears it, he can't help but "pop" in his heart, and there is still a side behind! Frightened, he quickly squatted down, and he remembered clearly that there were horses tied there, but there was no movement for the time being.

You Wuxian was very nervous, this unknown feeling made him very weak, and he suddenly had no intention of urinating. So he slowly poked out half of his head from the grass and took a look~ I saw the two red lights in front of him bright and extinguished, so frightened that he quickly held his breath and involuntarily began to retreat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved his feet, the two red lights in front of him did not move. I saw that it was getting clearer and clearer, and the rustling sound was quickly approaching from that side. You Wuxian is like ashes: It's over, I'm afraid I'll encounter some beast and find out!

At the moment, I can't hide anymore, and I pull my legs and slip away. Almost at the same time, the neighing of the horses in terror was heard from the direction of the tethered horses, followed by the low roar of the beasts. It seems that both sides are in trouble at the same time! Don't think about it, go straight to the place where the master rests, and run wildly without the price of his life!

I could only hear the voices behind me getting closer and closer, and I could clearly hear the low panting, as if there was a cold wind drilling straight into the back of the neck socket. You Wuxian didn't dare to look back, just ran forward.

Seeing that it was becoming more and more dangerous, suddenly, there was a flower in front of me. A fierce and domineering momentum rushed head-on, rubbing over his short body and over his head. Before he could react, he heard a dull sound behind him, followed by the sound of something rolling and fluttering on the ground. You Wuxian turned around, but unexpectedly stumbled under his feet and fell to the ground.

I only vaguely saw a figure, holding a mirror with a slight silver glow in his hand, standing with his back to him.

Thinking that it was the master, You Wuxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Opposite the master was a strange thing that looked like a human being, and it was not clear in the starlight. But those red eyes are fierce, and they are terrifying!

At this moment, it stared at Master You fiercely, thinking that it had just been kicked by Master You flying up in the air. At that time, both sides were very fast, and I don't know how hard it was to eat this dish.

It didn't take long for the monster to move, as fast as lightning! A volley jumped up, and in mid-air, his hands swooped at Master You. said that it was too late, and then quickly, Master You quickly raised his hand and pulled it on his back, only to see a long knife shadow in his hand pulling from top to bottom at a faster speed.

The monster that had just approached was slapped squarely by the powerful sword shadow! It fell to the ground so hard that even the grass around it was knocked to the ground by the strong wind.

I can't see how much the monster is injured, and it's crazy at the moment. He raised his head sharply and let out a strange and ugly roar, and when he opened his mouth, he was stunned and bit the door in front of Master You.

Master You quickly buckled the bronze mirror in his hand on its forehead, but the monster's body suddenly froze, and the speed was not so flexible.

Taking advantage of this vacancy, Master You flipped back, followed by a slight bow of his legs, and then jumped forward high, just above the monster.

Holding the "God Killer Knife" with both hands, the tip of the knife was downward, only to feel the strong wind on the blade, and this powerful blow sank straight into the back of the monster. I could only hear a "snap" sound similar to the breaking of a tree trunk, and the monster's body fluttered and weakened, making a few weak humming sounds, and there was no movement.

This series of accidents actually happened between the lightning and flint, and he was dazzled and stunned when he saw Youwu. When the master drew his knife and collected the demon god mirror, he dared to cautiously step forward to check.

After this toss, the sky had turned white, and with a glimmer of light, he finally saw the appearance of the monster clearly.

Strictly speaking, the monster was more like a human, covered in black and stiff hairs like pig's bristles. The mouth grinned to the base of the ear, revealing black and yellow canine teeth. His eyes had lost their light and were covered with a gray color, as if they had been dead for five or six days.

At this time, the back of this monster has been cut open, and even the spine organs inside can be seen, and you Wuxian feels more and more disgusted when you look at it. But in terms of image, it's very similar to the monster that attacked his whole family last time.

Sure enough, the master said while wiping the knife: "This is a beast corpse, the type is similar, and the place where it appears is generally not only this one." Let's get out of here!"

As he spoke, he pulled You Wuxian and walked quickly in the direction of the horse. Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, a strong smell of blood came.

Only one horse was still tethered, and the other was missing, and only half of the reins were still hanging from the tree. There was chaos all around, a trail of trailing ground stretching from here into the grass, along with a few blood marks and scattered pieces of flesh.

Master You sighed, quickly packed up his things and put them all on the back of the surviving horse. With a quick mention, he also carried You Wuxian on the horse and led the horse out of here.

After this toss, You Wuxian felt sleepy, yawning along the way, but the master of the tour was not red and out of breath. It seems that he is an old man who is close to the age of sixties, but his skills are still so good, which makes You Wuxian feel more and more incredible the more he thinks about it. I secretly made up my mind that I would study art hard in the future.

In this way, they continued along the river until the afternoon.

As I walked, I saw a ferry port in the distance, but when I got closer, I couldn't see half of the ferryman and boat. Walking around, it doesn't look like it's inhabited.

The two couldn't help but be stunned, there is a river and a crossing, but there is no one to see, thinking that the world is not peaceful, and people dare not come to the wilderness.

This was a bit of a bummer for them, for the river was wide and fast, and they had brought their horses and luggage, which they could not get through anyway. I had to find a direction and walk along the main road again. If you're lucky, you might even find a place to stay.

The days are short after autumn, and the afternoon will pass after a while, and it is best to find someone to stay. Last night's scene was still fresh in their minds, and the two couldn't help but speed up their journey.

Luckily, after walking for less than an hour, there was no longer an endless wasteland ahead, and crops began to grow on both sides. If the fields are cultivated, it means that they are not far from people's homes.

Sure enough, after walking a pillar of incense, I saw groups of farmers farming in the fields in front of me from a distance, and there were patrol officers in the higher ground next to them.

The patrol officer saw the two of them from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?!" Master You stopped and waved his hands: "Master You in Lower Dragon Scale City, passing by here, I wanted to cross the river but there was no ferryman." Borrow a place to stay here and make plans tomorrow morning. ”

The man hurried over. It's a quick guy, maybe a samurai. looked at the two of them, and then stared at the demon god mirror on Master You's waist for a moment, no longer doubting. He also politely said: "It turned out to be Master You, fortunately! I won't tell you anything, the world has not been peaceful recently, and there are often demons and monsters who come out to harm people day and night." The place you came from is Huayangdu, and the front is Huayang Village. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction in which Master You and the others were heading.

The young man continued: "We have lived on agriculture for thousands of years, and we have had plenty of food and clothing. But since the zombie rebellion decades ago, we've all had to be careful. When the day comes, people gather together to work together and take care of each other. At night, the gate is closed.

Usually there are no people in the past, this Huayangdu has been deserted for more than ten years, if you want to find a place to stay, this Master You and his younger brother have to go to Huayang Village. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction again, indicating that they were not far away.

This young man is talkative, and he was nervous at first, but now he is close to Master You. In these places, it is rare to see the Demon Master, and they are generally treated well.

Master You smiled, thanked this person, and walked forward in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, after a while, I turned a corner and saw a village in the distance.
