Chapter 666: Weird
The next day, early in the morning.
Xing Yuan dined at the inn while taking out a little money to Xiao Er, and then asked the question he wanted to know.
Xiao Er collected the money, naturally he couldn't help but do things, and then drew a lot of detailed places around Xingyuan's map, and at the same time told Xingyuan that there was actually a small town not far away, which was much larger than their town, with more resources, medicines, and a transportation artery, so it was much easier to go anywhere.
It's just that two years ago, it was plagued by monsters, and it was once rumored that there were ghosts and gods, everyone was ordinary people, and they had limited spiritual intelligence, and the most people in that town were merchants, who would dare to go when they heard this?
"Is there anyone in that place now?"
Xingyuan didn't care about any ghosts, gods and monsters, he only cared if there was anything he needed in that place.
"Yes, yes, but most of them are almost all officers and soldiers or people from the Orion Bureau, and they just live on the knife edge, but guest officer, it is said that there is a huge lake in that town, and the legendary ghosts are entrenched in it. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Er's voice was lowered a lot, and then he whispered: "Some people have seen this ghost, saying that it has no eyes, and there is a bronze grass on the top of its head, followed by a golden-red fruit, everyone rumors that it is a divine fruit that can bring the dead back to life and prolong life." ”
"Later, it was also confirmed by the masters, it was indeed a divine fruit, rare to see in a hundred years, it was precisely because of the existence of this divine fruit, so even if it was haunted, there were still many people going to that place, and there were also many people from the Orion Bureau who ventured to fight for it, but in the end they never came back, and they must have all been left at the bottom of the lake forever. ”
Xing Yuan kept frowning and listening to these news, and then questioned, "Is it really so mysterious?"
"It's true, guest officer, I dare to lie about this kind of thing, I see that you are also a cultivator, if you are interested in this fruit, you can also go and have a look, but don't rush there, otherwise the injury is small, if you lose your life, it will not be worth it." ”
"By the way, this divine fruit is said to be called: Golden Blood Fruit. ”
"Well, okay, thank you. ”
After listening to it briefly, Xingyuan left the inn after about a bottom.
In the final analysis, all this is just hearsay from the shopkeeper, and he doesn't know what the real appearance is, and how deep the river is can only be known after he steps on it.
However, Xing Yuan decided to take a look first, not to mention whether this ghost was powerful or not, just that divine fruit, Xing Yuan was already a little salivating, this golden blood fruit was worth Xing Yuan's visit.
If you can use this Golden Blood Fruit to bring your cultivation back to the peak, it will be worth it.
Walking out of the inn, Xingyuan took out all his belongings, bought a batch of running horses, and then bought a few packets of dry food, and then began to hit the road, heading towards the town that had been crossed out on the map.
Passing by the town, when Xing Yuan was buying dry food, the voices of several old ladies suddenly came from the side: "Aunt Lin, do you know that the strong son of the Orion Bureau in the east of the town died, and it was the child who was picked up by Wang Laohu." ”
"Ah, why did the boy die? It seems that he has only turned twenty in a few years, and this is too evil. ”
"That's right, it's him, it is said that Wang Laohu killed him, they went to hunt a demon beast, that Wang Laohu actually took the initiative to let Qiangzi kill the demon beast, Qiangzi was just a child who picked it up, Wang Laohu must have regarded him as his own subordinate, and asked him to be a substitute for the dead ghost. ”
"Is this really the case? Then Wang Laohu usually has a bad temper, but he is a good person, how can he harm Qiangzi like this? Qiangzi has lived with him for more than ten years. ”
"Who knows, knowing people and faces but not hearts, if Wang Laohu wants to kill him, it will not be easy, but it is just that Linghua is suffering, and he and Qiangzi are already ready to marry, but I didn't expect that in the end, the bamboo basket was empty. ”
"This Wang Tiger is too inhuman, he didn't go forward to kill the demon beast, let a child go, and he couldn't contact him in the future. ”
.......
After listening to it for a while, Xing Yuan wanted to leave directly, but he couldn't help but turn around and say, "What qualifications do you old aunts have to comment on others? Have you witnessed what happened? It's ridiculous to just rely on hearsay to close the coffin." ”
"Eh, who are you kid? Dare to say that about us? Look at you are not from this town, you can see that it is not a good embryo, maybe the horse is still stolen, do you believe it or not, I will immediately report to the official to arrest you?"
After Xing Yuan said a few words, several old ladies immediately began to fight back, spitting and yellow teeth appeared, which made Xing Yuan frown for a while.
"Poor mountains and bad waters, low intelligence. ”
In the face of this gossip, Xingyuan's state of mind has been tempered so much, so he naturally won't get angry, but he just sighed a little, and then walked away by himself.
"I hope Uncle Tiger won't be hurt by rumors..."
Silently glancing in the direction of the Orion Bureau, Xingyuan stepped on his horse and immediately headed towards his destination.
Riding the horse, in the sound of "driving" one after another, Xingyuan embarked on a new journey.
Through the mountains, through the river, through the loess, half a day passed, Xingyuan did not reach the periphery of the destination until late in the evening, driving the horse to stay on the mountain fort, looking into the distance, Xingyuan only saw that there were people faintly in the distance.
The haunted lake in the shopkeeper's mouth also appeared in his eyes, like an amber, very eye-catching.
"I went to find out who this monster was, and it was here to fight for the tiger, and no one dared to come. Looking at the town, Xingyuan saw that this town was not small, and it must have been very prosperous in its heyday.
After deciding on his own, Xingyuan drove his horse down the mountain and headed straight for the town.
Soon, before Xingyuan came to the town alone, before he entered the town, the bleak winter wind had already made Xingyuan feel cold.
"Drive!"
Xingyuan's legs moved the horse, driving it forward.
Walking to the gate of the town, there is a vague inscription on the dilapidated wooden pillar: Shilong Town.
"Shilong Town, where is Shilong?" muttered the name, Xingyuan drove his horse and continued straight towards the town.
It wasn't until he walked for a while that he saw a broken, almost unsightly stone carving that Xingyuan realized that this was the so-called stone dragon.
"Boy, what are you fooling around, come in quickly, the water monster will come out in a moment!"
When Xingyuan was wandering around with nothing to do, a deep voice appeared, and Xingyuan looked at it, it turned out to be a bald uncle in the temple next to him, and there were still many people in the temple at this moment, some wearing official uniforms, and some wearing Orion Bureau clothes, which were messy.
"Why are you still stunned, come in quickly, there's no time, you'll be eaten." ”
Seeing Xing Yuan looking at him with a puzzled expression, with no fear on his face, the bald uncle immediately judged that Xing Yuan was definitely a new passerby or explorer.
"Oh, good. ”
After all, he was a newcomer and unfamiliar with life, so Xingyuan did not relax his vigilance, and then dismounted and pulled the horse into the temple.
