Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Snowy Night

>,!

On this day, the wind and snow were heavy. ¥f,

On an official road hundreds of miles away from Qingyang City in Tianhua Kingdom, three carriages were slowly moving forward in the wind and snow.

On the first carriage, an old man in a gray cotton jacket drove the car.

The old man looked at the sky while driving the car.

Seeing that the sky was getting more gloomy, and the snow was getting tighter and tighter, the old man raised his whip and whipped it on the horse.

"This ghost weather, it seems that before dark, you can't rush back to Qingyang City. ”

The old man was muttering, his gaze suddenly froze in front of him, and his hand unconsciously pulled the reins of the horse.

The horse pulling the cart neighed, and the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, Elder Li?" asked a woman with her head out of the car.

"Madam, there seems to be a person in front of you. The old man pointed to the official road in front of him.

I saw that in the gray snowflakes, I could faintly see a figure walking on the official road.

Looking at this figure, it seems to be a teenager.

"Old Li, let's go over and take a look, such a big snowstorm, if it's a pedestrian, let him get into the carriage, let's give him a ride." The woman spoke up.

The old man nodded, and then drove the carriage towards the figure in front of him.

When he got closer, the old man saw clearly that this was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and at this time, the boy's hair was already covered with snow.

"Hey, little guy, why are you walking on this road alone, my wife said, if you are rushing to Qingyang City, get on the carriage and come up, we can take you for a ride." The old man said loudly to the young man.

At this time, the young man raised his head, shook his head at the old man and smiled: "No, thank you." ”

"This little guy, isn't his brain blown by the wind and snow, and he has to walk in the snow if he doesn't sit in a good car?"

The old man muttered, and prepared to drive over.

At this time, the woman in the carriage lifted the curtain again, and when she saw that it was a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, she asked the old man to stop the car first, and said to the young man: "It's so windy and snowy outside, don't freeze." There's still a seat in the second car behind us, so let's go and sit down. ”

"This area is not very peaceful, you are walking here alone, and be careful that you run into the 'ghost-faced man' and arrest you. ”

"Ghost-faced man?" the boy was stunned.

Before the woman could speak, a seven or eight-year-old boy with drooping hair was squeezed out from her side, and said to the young man: "Little brother, that 'ghost-faced man' is terrifying, I heard that children like us will be arrested, you listen to your mother, hurry up and get in the car." ”

"We have Grandpa Li and the guards here, as well as an immortal master, protecting us and staying with us, so we don't have to worry about the 'ghost-faced man' catching you. ”

The drooping boy was talking, and the two carriages behind saw that the front suddenly stopped, and a few people got out of the carriage and walked over.

Three of them were dressed as guards, and the other was a young man with a long sword on his back.

As soon as the three guards approached, they looked at the young man vigilantly and asked the woman, "What's the matter, ma'am?"

"It's nothing, if you meet a young man on the road, let him go with us. The woman pointed at the young man and said in a loud voice.

At this time, the young man with the sword on his back snorted coldly: "Mrs. Yao, the money you gave me was just for me to protect you people, and I don't care about the others." ”

Mrs. Yao took out another gold leaf from her pocket and handed it over: "Immortal Master, it's not easy to go out, this young man, you should take care of it more." ”

The young man with the sword on his back took the golden leaf, shook it, glanced at the young man, and returned to the third carriage.

At this time, Mrs. Yao turned her head and said to the young man, "Hurry up and get in the car, it will be late in a while." ”

The young man looked at the young man with the sword on his back, then at Mrs. Yao and the drooping boy beside her, nodded, and followed the guards into the second carriage.

The three carriages began to move forward again in the wind and snow.

In the second carriage, the young man asked the guard, "I heard what Madame said about the 'ghost-faced man' before, what is the situation with this ghost-faced man?"

"What kind of kid are you, you are so bold that you dare to walk outside casually!" the guard scolded the boy first.

Later, he explained: "This 'ghost-faced man' has only recently appeared in a few nearby cities, and I heard that he is extremely powerful, specializing in arresting teenagers and children under the age of eighteen! When these people who were captured by the ghost-faced people are found again, they will all become headless corpses, but it is terrifying!"

"This time, when Madame came back from Xunyang City, she was worried about meeting the ghost-faced man, so she hired an immortal master in the city to protect us, you are lucky enough to meet us, otherwise, you may be captured by the ghost-faced man!"

After the guard finished speaking, he didn't see the young man's frightened look as he expected, but saw the young man nodding thoughtfully, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

He didn't hear it, and the young man muttered in a low voice: "I can't imagine that even if you walk in the wind and snow, you can still hear such a news, ghost-faced man? ”

This young man, who is Jiang Lin who came down from the mountain after leaving the Yunhai Sect?

A day ago, after he left the Hanging Mountain, he directly bought a low-level flying beast 'Black-winged Vulture' at a trading market outside the mountain, and flew all the way to his hometown Donglin City.

When flying out of the Yunhai Sect mountain area, I saw the scenery turning, and outside the hanging mountain of the Yunhai Sect, it was already a winter when the cold wind was howling and the snow was flying.

Thinking that almost a year ago, he was also in the heavy snow, and the Yunhai Sect that he went with Fang Li, and a year later, in the heavy snow, he embarked on the way home, Jiang Lin was a little interested.

When he flew half the distance, he simply put the "black-winged vulture" and the nine-winged bird into the flying beast bag, stepped on the snow, and walked slowly in the cold wind, experiencing this winter feeling that he had not felt for a long time.

He didn't expect that his casual behavior would meet the kind-hearted Mrs. Yao and invite him to the carriage.

Originally, Jiang Lin wanted to refuse, but when he saw that the young man with the sword on his back was just a fourth-layer cultivator of the True Qi Realm, he actually became an immortal master and was responsible for protecting Mrs. Yao's line, and then heard that the ghost-faced man was evil, Jiang Lin simply got into the car.

In any case, Mrs. Yao and her children are all kind-hearted, and it is okay to have nothing to do along the way, if there is really something, the young man with the sword on his back can't cope with it, Jiang Lin will also help, and end this good fate.

Along the way, it was too peaceful.

Until it was dark, there was no abnormality.

At this time, the carriage was still a hundred miles away from Qingyang City, and the snow was falling even more urgently, and it seemed that it would not be able to return to the city.

In the end, the group found a dilapidated temple on the side of the road and settled down, preparing to continue the next day.

Several guards cleaned up the ruined temple briefly, and lit a fire again, and Li Lao also beckoned Mrs. Yao and the drooping boy to rest by the fire.

The young man with the sword on his back crossed his arms and closed his eyes on the periphery of the fire.

Jiang Lin saw that there was nothing to do all the way, so he smiled faintly, found a remote corner, and sat down cross-legged.

At this time, the drooping boy ran to him, stretched out his little hand, and handed Jiang Lin two cakes: "Little brother, this is a cake made by my mother, it's delicious, you can taste it." ”

Jiang Lin touched the head of the drooping boy, and was about to speak, but suddenly frowned and looked outside the broken temple.

I only heard a low whimper sound from outside the broken temple.

"Netherworld...... Ghosts and ghosts...... Children's ...... in the world Send it to me......"

The sudden ghost cry frightened the bread in the hand of the drooping boy and fell to the ground with a snap.

"Ghostface!"

As soon as the faces of the three guards changed, they stood up violently.

The eyes of the young man with the sword on his back also flashed, and with a snort, he drew his sword and jumped out of the broken temple.

Jiang Lin, on the other hand, protected the drooping boy behind him and looked out.
