Chapter 66: The Devil
Li Gongfu's body recovered quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to go down the mountain.
Through the understanding of these days, Ning Xiu knew that this world was very similar to ancient China, but it was not any dynasty in his memory.
He learned from Li Gongfu that the ruling dynasty in this land was called the Great Zhou. And Li Gongfu is the head of Zhengyin who belongs to Qiantang County, Huiji County, Da Zhou, and his strength is probably at the point of small internal strength.
"The grace of the son today, the father-in-law remembers his life, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire whenever he asks for it. Li Gongfu shook his fast suit and bowed solemnly.
"Well, I've heard enough thank-you words these days. Ning Xiu smiled and then spoke. "There's really something for you to help right now. ”
"Childe, please speak. "Li Gongfu went back this time in order to arrest the 'Flower Butterfly' Sang as soon as possible, to be honest, there is not much time to waste. He hesitated, but said it anyway.
A gentleman makes a promise, and a promise is a thousand gold.
"I've been on the mountain for too long, and now I want to go down the mountain to have a look, how about you come to be this guide?" Ning Xiu looked at the hesitation in Li Gongfu's eyes and chuckled.
“...... I am willing, and it is my honor to be able to help my son. Li Gongfu originally thought that the request made by Ning Xiu's strength must be extremely difficult to complete, but he never thought that it would be such a problem, so he hurriedly replied.
"In that case, let's go. ”
Ning Xiu glanced back at the Taoist temple and took the lead in walking down the mountain.
Since there is a legend of his grandfather in this world, there will definitely be his deeds, so Ning Xiu resolutely chose to go down the mountain.
......
"Although Qingfeng Mountain is in Qiantang, there is still a long way to go from the county seat. Li Gongfu led the way in front and explained.
Ning Xiu nodded, after coming down from Qingfeng Mountain, they had already walked for half an hour, but in addition to the vast white snow, all they saw in front of them were corpses frozen to death on the side of the road.
According to Li Gongfu, every year in winter, poor beggars freeze to death and starve to death near Qiantang, and he is obviously used to seeing this kind of scene.
"The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board, and treating all living beings as fish and meat ......"
Ning Xiu muttered in a low voice, and when he looked up, he saw a building in the snow in the distance so conspicuous.
"Childe, there is an inn in front, let's go there and rest for a while before we go. Li Gongfu said.
"It's a wonderful person to have someone open an inn in this wilderness. Ning Xiu chuckled lightly and spoke.
Li Gongfu naturally heard the meaning of Ning Xiu's words, as the head catcher of Qiantang, he knew the background of this inn better than anyone else. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Childe, don't worry, this inn has no other problems except for the black heart. ”
Since Li Gongfu said so, Ning Xiu naturally had no opinion.
In front of the inn, the rutted horses' hooves crisscrossed the snow, and the neighing of horses behind the house could be heard in the wind.
In this kind of weather, in this kind of place, there will be other guests besides them.
Ning Xiu let out a "light sigh" and raised his eyes to see that there were more than a dozen empty dart carts piled up in the yard, and the dart carts were covered with straw mats, and the straw mats had already been covered with a thick layer of snow.
On the car, a black-colored gold-trimmed dart flag was hunting in the cold wind.
Zhang Gongfu looked at the dart flag, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "It's the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, it seems that he came back from the outside to escort the dart." ”
"Do you feel like it's too quiet? Ning Xiu didn't seem to hear what Zhang Gongfu said, and muttered to himself.
As he got closer, he found that the inn was surprisingly quiet, and there was no sound except for the occasional low neighing of horses. Although he didn't know what the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau was, judging from the dart cars parked in the yard, there should be many people in the inn at this time.
The people in the rivers and lakes who run darts are all masters who drink and eat meat, how can they not make the slightest noise.
After listening to Ning Xiu's words, Li Gongfu, who was a head catcher, also found something unusual here.
He gave Ning Xiu a look and carefully walked to the back of the inn.
Ning Xiu stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the door of the inn.
As soon as I entered the inn, I felt a warmth coming, driving away a lot of cold. He glanced up and saw that the fire in the lobby was still burning.
The lobby of the inn was full of people, this group of people carried swords and swords, neatly dressed, and there was quite a fierce air between their eyebrows. It's just that they just sit in their positions, neither making a sound nor moving, like vivid clay sculptures.
Most of the food on the table was untouched, and I didn't even drink the wine in the glass.
Ning Xiu walked up to one of them and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed tightly.
"How can this be ......"
He found that the person in front of him had lost all his blood, and he looked at several more people and found that all of them were like this. And what's even weirder is that everyone in the lobby has a weird smile on their faces.
Stomp ......
At that moment, the sound of slight footsteps sounded.
Ning Xiu's expression was slightly restrained, and he raised his head, only to see that it was Li Gongfu who walked back here from behind the inn.
Li Gongfu's face was very heavy, and it was obvious that the situation behind the inn was also unclear.
He glanced at the situation in the lobby, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, including the chief dart head iron lion, none of the twenty-eight people were spared. ”
"Who!"
At this time, Ning Xiu suddenly shouted, jumped up to the second floor, and slammed open a door.
The moment the door opened, he saw a dagger with a cold light pointed at him!
The tip of the sword is trembling slightly!
The person holding the sword was an old man, although he had not yet reached the point of full gray hair, but there were many wrinkles on his face, which showed that he was not young.
The old man held the sword in both hands and said loudly to Ning Xiu, "You...... Who are you?"
Although he tried to speak as loudly as he could, his voice was a little shaky, apparently having been greatly stimulated before.
Hearing the sound, Li Gongfu also flew up to the second floor, when he saw the old man for the first time, his expression was a little excited, he stepped forward, grabbed the old man's hands, and said loudly: "Zhang Lao, it's me, Gongfu." ”
"What the hell is going on here, how is this happening. ”
“...... Gongfu, it's really you, Gongfu. ”
Bang Dang!
Seeing Li Gongfu's appearance clearly, the vigilance in the old man's eyes gradually dissipated, and as soon as his hands were loosened, the dagger in his hand immediately fell to the ground with a clear sound.
"Elder Zhang, what's wrong, how could someone from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau die here?" Li Gongfu grabbed the old man's hand tightly and asked.
“...... Devils, all devils!" the old man's eyes once again showed a strong look of fear, and he trembled.
