Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man (1)
Fu Kui bought food and medicine at the market, and was very nervous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey! Did Li Zhuzi's family hear about it? I heard that the windless tower in Windless City had fallen! But it frightened many people. ”
"As soon as the windless tower fell, countless huge waves arose on the eastern sea, and the wind howled all night. It's weird!"
"I've heard about it, I've heard it. Even if the tower fell, a huge ghost shadow flew out of it, and it went directly to the body of the Lin City Lord! The Lin City Lord has not woken up to this day. Not only was Wanguan's family property confiscated by the government, but his wife and children were sent to prison......"
"Huh, what's the reason for that?"
"I heard that...... three or five people gathered together sneakily, as if they were hiding from the surroundings, "The Lord of Lin City raises monsters!"
Looking left and right at the jade pendant, picking the sachet, and picking up the vegetables, they all showed an expression like this.
"The monsters were all caught by the government, but two of them escaped. ”
"I know, I know! Didn't we have a wanted warrant on it? It drew a little baby, a big cat. Drink! That cat is so big! That's the goblin that escaped. I heard that......"
Gossip is the source of information, although the good and the bad are uneven, and the truth cannot be distinguished. Fu Kui originally heard it with taste, but when he heard this, his face turned red and black.
What did she do this time? Why is she wanted again......
"That little girl who took my three taels of candied fruit and didn't pay, yes, that means you! If you don't pay, you want to leave, robber? Believe it or not, you'll be wanted too?"
Fu Kui hurriedly took out the money, compensated the stall owner, and left in a daze. The news is really not scary.
Huyinzhou borders Dongxingzhou, and the Xingchang River flows into the sea in the east, where it turns into Daze and gives birth to a dense swamp. This swamp also contains a forest, which is not only full of insects and snakes, but also infested with fierce beasts. So the two states are far away across the water, and it is really impossible to go in a straight line.
Quartz asked countless coachmen who were running long posts, and they all shook their heads and waved their hands one after another, showing a look of fear.
"But...... There's a road here!" Fu Kui pointed to the map, obviously there was a road. The country's production must be high-quality, Fu Kui asked Quartz puzzled, "Why do those coachmen say that there is no road?"
Dongxing Prefecture Tibetan Demon, Huyin Prefecture is still martial. It is not surprising that there is a direct link between the two states. I'm afraid that this road is not easy to walk.
"Well, they don't know. Since there was a sign on the map, we walked over it ourselves. I think this road is also a secret. Quartz looked at Fu Kui quietly, she was studying the map. This innocent appearance gave him a little headache, and Fu Kui still didn't know how important Yutu was to the imperial court.
Fu Kui has been studying the map for the past two days, and he can finally see some doorways. If you don't take this road, you will have to go west, bypassing most of Dongxingzhou. She neatly closed the map, and the Fu family's pursuit became more and more ruthless, so it was better for her to arrive in the capital earlier.
"Is it decided?"
"Well," Fu Kui looked at the swamp forest with high morale, "Since ancient times, swamps have been prolific, so let's go and explore!"
Travel early, the spring sun shines warmly. Quartz turned into a beast and carried Fu Kui, and the stealth enchantment blocked the two of them. Occasionally, when I encounter a lone herb picker, I can only feel a gust of wind blowing.
Fu Kui chatted with Quartz while eating snacks. Although Quartz was stabbed in the chest before, fortunately, there was no problem.
"Brother, do you know that you almost died. Your chest was cut open, and I saw your heart. Your heart is golden!" Quartz didn't remember the past, so Fu Kui said that the things in the tower were extremely terrifying, and said in a deliberately trembling tone.
Gradually moving away from the crowd, the time limit for quartz's stealth enchantment was also up, and he lowered the altitude of his flight, "Where is your divine soldier?"
"It's going to sleep and absorb it. Fu Kui had always been able to feel the resentment of the Mo Qiang Knife, so he simply gave it half of the Yin Demon Spirits he had collected.
I don't know when Yuan Bao will wake up, although Fu Kui's emotional line is rough, she knows that she misses Yuan Bao now.
"Brother, I think back to what happened to us. Let's not get involved in other people's affairs in the future, this time you almost died......" Fu Kui secretly prayed in his heart not to meet monsters on the road in the future. If they still have to encounter it, then they pretend not to see it, and avoid the past if they can.
Quartz was about to speak, but he bumped into something for no reason, and the whole person stumbled.
They were now about ten meters above the ground, and they could clearly see an old man on the ground smiling kindly at them.
"Just hit the barrier. Quartz told Fu Kui in a very small voice.
The old man, covered in patches, sat at a tattered table in the courtyard and made three cups of tea.
"Are the two little friends tired from the long journey, come down and use refreshments, and don't charge money!" The old man danced with some hands, honest and enthusiastic, and Fu Kui really didn't see any malice from his face.
In the wilderness, a small thatched hut appeared out of thin air, and these chickens and ducks were raised freely, and some seasonal vegetables were scattered around. Behind the house is a purple bamboo forest, some bamboo leaves are still shining dazzling gold in the sun, how to look different. In front of the house is facing the swamp mud, with colorful poisonous snakes coiled on the left and hideous poison ivy growing on the right. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a fishy stench rose from the ground. Fu Kui sneered, it was really a peaceful pastoral life. Who can't tell he's a demon?
"Avoid the past, avoid the past!" Fu Kui pretended to look at the scenery, his voice was urgent, and he also whispered to Quartz.
The ancients respected ghosts and gods and stayed away, and it was really reasonable, and it was really reasonable.
The two of them, dressed in the emperor's new clothes, flew away with full caution.
"......" The old man still maintained the posture of holding the teacup, very embarrassed, "These two little babies are very cautious, cautious." ”
The old man sat down, a piece of bamboo root emerged from the soil, and the simple chair was hovered, "But you can't let them go like this, that little girl has some similarities with me." Her eyes can be used with me. ”
The old man took out an object from his bosom and carefully spread his hand. In the bright sunshine, there was a wisp of green gas lying in his palm. The elegant green actually compares the colors of the surrounding flowers.
"The little girl is pregnant with a treasure and doesn't know it, why don't you help her get rid of it......"
A gust of wind blew, and the bushes of the four fields seemed to nod.
"Brother, look what this is!" Fu Kui was very excited, and held out the swarthy object fished out of the water to Quartz.
It was water chestnut, one of Fu Kui's favorite fruits. didn't expect that there would be in this time and space, Fu Kui was very happy. She didn't care about Quartz's nervous appearance, and felt one in the water, and then another.
Suddenly, Fu Kui heard the sound of a sword chopping meat above her, and a burst of liquid spilled on her back, which was still warm. Quartz appeared in front of her, and immediately went away.
"Roll to the left!" Quartz, there was an indescribable urgency in his voice.
Fu Kui didn't dare to delay, and immediately rolled to the left. A snake tail about the thickness of her forearm whipped at where she had just squatted, whipping into a puff of mud.
Fu Kui was shocked by a white sweat, and she subconsciously tensed her body after realizing it. At this time, she found that she was still holding a water chestnut in her hand, which really made people cry and laugh.
Quartz took a knife and fought with an earthy forest. The lower part of the snake's head was a bone-piercing knife wound, bleeding outward. Quartz obviously had the upper hand, and Fu Kui was not worried about him. Lin Ran is several feet long, and it will take a moment for it to die completely.
"Don't be stupid there. That so-called master passed on your thirteen-style sword technique, come out and let me see it, I also want to learn it. Quartz still had time to talk to her.
Fu Kui put the water chestnut stained with wet mud into the small pocket on his side, summoned the Mo Qiang knife, and tried to remember Lin Ran, who was not dying.
"It's only eight styles. Quartz was a little puzzled when he saw Fu Kui stop.
Fu Kui looked at Lin Ran, who was dead on the ground and couldn't die anymore, then looked at Quartz, and said with annoyance, "There are still ...... There are others I don't remember. ”
