Chapter 21: The Deserted Ancient Pond Town

Along the way, Lu Ziyou asked a lot of things about cultivators, and Ji Rufeng and his party still left a certain impression on Lu Ziyou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info stepping on a flying sword and killing people thousands of miles away is the most direct evaluation of cultivators in the cultivation world. It's just that Ao Wuming doesn't know about the place of Wendao Pavilion at all, Lu Ziyou thinks that it is estimated that it has been too long, and he is out of touch with the times.

Lu Ziyou also gave the long sword a name along the way, since Ao Wuming could be attached to it, and finally the long sword was named "Nameless".

Along the way, they also encountered a few cultivators who practiced alone, these people were called rangers, and they generally went around to experience challenges in order to achieve breakthroughs in cultivation. Lu Ziyou also learned that there was only one place to settle within a radius of twenty miles, and that was Guchi Town, which was about five miles in front of him. Because there was no place to stay for the next thirty miles, and it was now close to the time when the sun went down, they had to choose to go to Guchi Town to stay.

After an hour's walk, Lu Ziyou saw a stone tablet from a distance, with three big characters on Guchi Town. "This is Guchi Town, but it seems a little strange. Lu Ziyou walked into Guchi Town and found that the doors and windows of every house were closed, and now it was the time when the sun went down, so it stands to reason that they should all be preparing dinner?

The streets are ordinary, lined with wooden houses, and there is no doubt about ordinary people, but there is no one to see on the streets, only leaves and garbage blown around by the wind.

"Is there anyone? I'm from out of town and want to go to Lingcheng, but it's getting late, can I spend the night here?" Lu Ziyou shouted as he walked.

For the first time, no one paid any attention to him, and I don't know if it was because there was really no one here or something.

"I'm just passing through here, I don't have any malice, can you let me spend the night here?" Lu Ziyou shouted a second time, but no one responded at all except for the windows of some abandoned houses that were squeaked by the wind.

"Is it really deserted?" Lu Ziyou muttered to himself, "It seems that the people here are scared away by zombies." ”

"No, there are people around, the house on the left, the front left, the back right, all the houses have people in them. Ao Wuming's voice came from the nameless sword, and Ao Wuming sensed that there were people in the four houses around, but they ignored Lu Ziyou.

Lu Ziyou asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure, and there must be more than a few people around, be careful if there are any surprises. Ao Wuming reminded.

Lu Ziyou touched the hilt of the sword to reassure him, and then walked over to the house on the left. There was a lot of dry leaves under my feet, and I knew at a glance that no one had cleaned them for a long time, and my feet rustled on them.

"Squeak......

The door opened, but it wasn't Lu Ziyou who pushed it open, someone pulled it open from the inside. Lu Ziyou quickly retreated a foot away, and all safety was the first priority.

"Huh?" The door was opened by a small child, a child who looked only four or five years old, and Lu Ziyou looked very surprised. The child just opened the door a little wider, just enough to show his head.

"Hey, are you human?" The immature child's voice came out of the child's mouth, and in Lu Ziyou's opinion, this question was very childish.

Since it is a child, there is no need to be cautious about the enemy, Lu Ziyou smiled softly: "Little child, big brother is a human being." ”

The child suddenly shouted into the house: "Mother, come quickly, the eldest brother is a human." ”

In just one breath, a woman's voice scolded: "You bear child, how many times have you said that you can't open the door when it's getting dark, why don't you listen?"

The child lowered his head pitifully, tears swirled in his eyes, and they would flow out at any time, and he said aggrievedly: "I want my father to ....." After saying these four words, the child's tears have been like a flood and can't stop.

A young woman picked up the child and comforted him: "Good, An'er is the most well-behaved, Daddy will be back soon, but An'er should be obedient, okay?"

"Well, An'er is obedient. The child choked up in a childish voice.

The young woman glanced at Lu Ziyou outside the door embarrassedly, and said slightly apologetically: "Let you see the smile, come in, it's dark." After finishing speaking, the young woman carried the child named An'er into the house, and at the moment when the young woman turned around, Lu Ziyou clearly saw a string of tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

"They are normal people, there is nothing abnormal. Ao Wuming said.

Lu Ziyou nodded and followed into the house, and after closing the door, the house was dark. The house is small and all the furniture is in one room, even the bed. The setting sun could barely see the young woman feeding the child porridge, and the porridge pot was already empty. The young woman motioned for Lu Ziyou to sit casually, Lu Ziyou found a place near the door and sat down, he took out the dry food and handed it to the young woman, the young woman said thank you gratefully and took the dry food handed over by Lu Ziyou, and Lu Ziyou took one and ate it himself.

"My name is Lu Ziyou, dare to ask what Mrs. is called?" Lu Ziyou asked the young woman very politely.

The young woman smiled slightly and replied politely: "The little woman Liu, the husband is the fast catcher Wu Li in this town. ”

"Mrs. Wu, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ziyou found that the people in this town don't light oil lamps at night, and they can only touch the dark after sunset.

An 'er in Mrs. Wu's arms fell asleep soon after eating, and Mrs. Wu began to talk about what had happened nine days earlier.

Nine days ago

Wu Li's family was eating, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Ma'am, I'll take a look, maybe there's something going on in town. After speaking, Wu Li also kissed his lovely An'er, and then picked up the saber and went out. There was a conversation outside the door, and Mrs. Wu could only vaguely hear some zombies killing, and the others could not be heard clearly.

In the next few days, Wu Li did not return home, it is said that he has been looking for things about zombie killing, and at first he would ask people to bring a message, but five days ago, there was no news. Later, there were always people in the town who disappeared inexplicably, and there were people who saw zombies sucking human blood, and some people tried to escape from this place during the day, and finally the next day they would be in front of their homes.

Mrs. Wu remembered passing by a group of people this morning, "It seems that a group of more than a dozen people passed by here this morning, but they didn't stop and left. ”

"Lu boy, this matter is very troublesome, let's leave tomorrow. Ao Wuming said.

Lu Ziyou nodded lightly in agreement, he is now mainly going to the Lingcheng mercenary organization, not to do chivalrous deeds. And when I met the people who asked the Dao Pavilion today, judging by their tone, I would definitely not let go of this matter, so there was no need for me to get involved.

"Mrs. Wu, if that's right, the group of people who passed by today are the cultivators of the Dao Pavilion, and they are also investigating this matter, I believe that these problems will be solved soon, don't worry." Lu Ziyou could only comfort her like this.

Mrs. Wu finally put her mind at ease after repeated confirmation, looked at the sleeping child in her arms, and said, "I really ask for the words of the Taoist Pavilion, I am relieved, I hope An'er's father will come back as soon as possible." "The reputation of the Asking Dao Pavilion is very loud in the territory of the Chu State.

"Shaoxia, I'll go to rest with the child first, and you should rest early. "Mrs. Wu is very polite and shows the demeanor of a housewife everywhere.

Lu Ziyou responded with a good night, closed his eyes and meditated on the spot, and began to absorb the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth.
