Chapter 226: Going around in circles

Shen Guo led the horse and left slowly, and the old shopkeeper on the counter just shouted loudly, moving slowly. After that, he smiled and smoked a dry cigarette again.

Coming and going, going round and round, endlessly.

Shen Guan glanced back at the old shopkeeper Tao Ran as he walked, and the old shopkeeper had a smile on his face, so ordinary.

The old man in the twilight posture has the temperament of a top powerhouse, an old shopkeeper of a mountain inn, an old man who loves to smoke dry tobacco, and maybe a warrior who retreats to the rivers and lakes.

But no matter what the status, it's weird to be here.

Shen Guo waved goodbye to the old shopkeeper, goodbye, never again.

The more the shopkeeper is like this, the more worried he actually feels in his heart, and he can only feel at ease when he is far away. There are people who have met Qingdai and then accidentally entered this so-called world in the painting, which is no more terrifying than walking through the ghost gate. Especially the last sentence of the old shopkeeper is slower and can't stand scrutiny.

If you put aside the world of paintings, in fact, the village is just a unique landscape village, it is located between two mountains, surrounded by mountain peaks like a paradise.

Shen Guo led the horse not very fast, early in the morning on the road there are many villagers who go up the mountain and down to the field to do work, after seeing Shen Jing, the people around will smile and say a few words to each other, probably inseparable from Shen Jing's words, but it is not strange how to look at it.

Slowly moving forward, I didn't feel any difference until I walked through the village.

He stopped and looked back, maybe this was really just a resting place for landscape pedestrians, and the kind of chance that would be like the rest of the small world.

Gradually, the village behind him became more and more blurred, until it finally disappeared completely from Shen Qing's sight.

This way Shen is just leading the horse, and he walks very slowly.

The horse hero looked a little restless after the village completely disappeared, and Shen Jing noticed this and quickly became alert to the movement around him.

Between the two mountains, the ridges and vertical and horizontal water systems of the plains disappear, replaced by leafy forests and mountain streams.

There is a spring flowing under the forest, and the sound is crisp.

After walking all the way like this, he walked through this mountain range, and his vision became wide again.

It was noon, the sun was poisonous, and Shen Kuang and Daxia stopped by a stream. The overhead is shaded by dense foliage, so the shade underneath the tree.

The hero is much better than before, but he doesn't want to go into the water to relieve his fever, and only occasionally drinks a few sips of sweet spring water on the shore.

Shen Guo stood under the tree and looked into the distance, this field of vision is not large, and he should soon enter the mountains and forests again.

After eating some dry food and drinking a few sips of wine, after resting for a while, Shen Jing continued on the road. There was still a trace of worry in Shen Jing's heart, it was an indescribable feeling, and it seemed that the matter of the water village still remained in his heart.

In this way, a man and a horse continued to drive under the scorching sun, passing through the plains and to the mountains and forests. A man and a horse shuttled through the mountains and forests until the evening of this day, and then the vision became wider again, and Shen Jing sat on the back of the horse and looked into the distance, and seemed to be able to see curling smoke in the farthest distance.

The ordinary cooking smoke on weekdays seems so kind to Shen Qing today.

With the traces of people, Shen Jing slowly felt at ease, and he was no longer in a hurry even with the last journey. Shen Kuang rode the hero slowly and leisurely, he held the wine bottle in his hand and occasionally took a sip, until this time he completely relaxed, probably leaving the world of the picture scroll.

Walking and walking, the more away from the smoke of the cooking in the distance

The closer I came, I could vaguely see some figures in front of me.

The plain here has a wide line of sight, the ridges and water systems are staggered, there are occasional lakes, you can also see the boat on the lake from afar, there are people who have Yaxing boating, and the love goes to the depths to write a quiet poem, so it is extremely suitable for the occasion.

Just moving forward slowly, Shen Jing looked at the prospect and suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

He seemed to have seen this scene somewhere.

The tourists boating on the lake in the distance, the man returning home on the road and the young child riding the green ox leisurely, all the scenes are the same as yesterday.

There seems to be some impression of Shen Qing among the pedestrians on the road, so it is inevitable to encounter it again at this time, why did this young man come here from a distance?

Shen Guo was suspicious in his heart, he remembered that the old shopkeeper had said that he had done it slowly when he left in the morning, and the old shopkeeper must have known about the strange things.

With apprehension, Shen Guan led the horse through the village path and then to the inn.

When Fu Bai, who was sitting in front of the door in a daze, saw Shen Jing again, his eyes were full of strangeness and puzzlement, and he seemed to be silently asking, why did you come back, guest. It's just that after being distracted for a while, Fubai still got up again and greeted: "Guest officer, you're here again!" ”

The old shopkeeper Tao Ran was still leaning on the counter smoking a dry cigarette as always, and when he heard the white sound at the door, Tao Ran raised his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was Shen Jing, he was like seeing a ghost.

Tao Ran hurriedly put down the cigarette stick in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again, it was still Shen who had left in the morning.

Shen Guo didn't care about the old shopkeeper's reaction, he handed over the hero to Fubai again, and then walked into the inn, and now there is only the old shopkeeper in the lobby.

Shen Kuang suspected that the old shopkeeper was doing something, so he approached and said straight to the point: "Does the shopkeeper Tao know what is strange here?" ”

After Shen Guan finished speaking, Tao Ran said lightly: "What did you hear from those two people last night? ”

"Shopkeeper Tao knows that."

Tao Ran had gradually regained his composure at the moment, he knew that Shen Guan was suspicious of him, but he was not in a hurry to explain, he just said slowly: "You don't have to suspect that it was my hands and feet, I don't have that ability, but it's the first time I've seen you in this situation for so many years." It's a world of paintings, like a small world, and the people here are different from the outside world, and I ended up here by mistake many years ago. Boy Jiang, did you walk back here after a day? ”

For Tao Ran's words, Shen Guan will be skeptical. After Tao Ran asked, Shen Jing said slowly: "It's like spinning in place, but this circle is a little bigger." ”

Tao Ran took a puff of dry smoke when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "The people who strayed here before left and left. Actually, even I still don't understand what it takes to get in and out of here. ”

Saying that, Tao Ran looked at Shen Jing with an inquiring look and continued: "You may be a special case, but there should still be a way to leave." ”

It's just that as soon as Tao Ran's words fell, Mu Yunfu, the black-clothed girl that Shen Jing had seen yesterday, also slowly walked in from outside the door.

When Mu Yunfu saw Shen Qian, he was obviously a little surprised.

And this time, the old shopkeeper Tao Ran was really shocked, because Mu Yunfu was asked by him to leave the water village, and now he walked back like Shen Jing.

Shen Kuang didn't know this, he just thought that Mu Yunfu was returning from going out, so he just nodded with the other party. It wasn't until Tao Ran said that Mu Yunfu was the same as him that Shen Jing glanced at the other party again in surprise.

, Shen Guo looked at Tao Ran and asked, "Should the two people last night come back tonight before closing?" ”

Hearing Shen Kuang's painting, Tao Ran said lightly: "The two of them won't." ”

When he said this, Tao Ran seemed to be very confident.

Mu Yunfu, who had already returned to the lobby, subconsciously glanced at the old man smoking dry cigarettes on the counter when she heard this, she still remembered the scene in the morning, and she also remembered the death of the two people clearly.

Shen said: "Shopkeeper Tao, I know that you are not a bad person, and this is not a black shop, otherwise Miss Mu and I would have suffered a long time ago." We also don't want to disturb the cleanliness of this place, so we also asked the shopkeeper to give us ideas. ”

Hearing this, Tao Ran glanced at Shen Jing and said with a smile: "You kid is not stupid. ”

After that, Tao Ran looked at the long sword behind Shen Kuang, although Shen Kuang was wrapped in linen, he still recognized it at a glance. In fact, Tao Ran knew yesterday that he just didn't want to have more lives and didn't mention it.

"You're carrying the Ghost Fang Sword behind you, right?"

Shen Guan looked at Tao Ran when he heard this, and nodded slowly. In fact, it was not surprising that the old shopkeeper was able to recognize the Phantom Fang Sword.

Seeing this, Tao Ran laughed and said, "The boy of the Shen family in the East China Sea, who are you Shen Yandong?" ”

"My grandfather."

"How is your Shen family doing now? Is there a great master again? ”

"I'm the only one left in the Shen family now."

Tao Ran was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Why did you fall here?" ”

Shen Jing said lightly: "I was killed by the imperial court, and only I survived." ”

As an old man in the rivers and lakes, Tao Ran sighed, only one of the Shen family survived, and the court was determined not to leave any of them, he didn't ask the reason, the rivers and lakes were so involuntarily.

And when Mu Yunfu heard that the sword on Shen Kuang's back was the Ghost Tooth Sword, he quickly guessed his true identity, but Mu Yunfu didn't say anything more at this juncture.

Until the end, Tao Ran patted Shen Jing's shoulder, the burden on the young man's shoulders was a little heavier, and there was nothing that could not be overcome.

After speaking, Tao Ran turned his head to look at Mu Yunfu, and Shen Jing also turned to look when he saw this.

Tao Ran said: "Little girl, let me remind you again, you can take the opportunity here by luck, but you must not exceed my rules." Also, don't disturb the lives of the people here, or those two will be your end. I'm afraid you've never heard of my name, old man, but don't think I can't wield a knife. ”

As long as he knew that it was not the old shopkeeper who was in the way, the worries in Shen Jing's heart would not be so heavy, but for this picture scroll world, Shen Guo was always at ease.

Listening to the words of the old shopkeeper, Mu Yunfu, the girl in black, also seems to know the secrets of this world.

Go round and round.

Shen Guo still drank alone in the lobby at night, and while he recalled the scene of entering this place by mistake, he paid attention to all the seemingly reasonable places in the village, such as the fields like landscape paintings, such as this inn in the village, and also the old shopkeeper and the young man.

As for the old shopkeeper's words, Shen Kuang believed but didn't dare to believe them all, because Shen Kuang didn't dare to guarantee whether Tao Ran really stayed here voluntarily or was trapped here. He needed to consider all possible scenarios, if Tao Ran was forced to stay here, then he and Mu Yunfu would be unlucky. And in this matter, Mu Yunfu, the girl in black, obviously knows more things.
