Chapter 44 Lingguo borders Caodu
"Hey, why are you here again, Brother Tie?" Deacon Nian looked at Tie Shizun coming with two or three disciples, looking like he was going to ask for a debt.
"Is the practice room in your temple broken?"
"This month, your mountain disciple damaged ten practice rooms. I was dodged by you before, but now that I have bumped into it, you still don't give me an explanation for the Linggong Palace? "Tie Shizun is domineering, and he insists on giving an explanation today, if he doesn't lose money, this Linggong Hall will not survive.
"Brother Tie is really hateful in this matter, I will report it to Senior Brother Nan and ask him to give you an explanation."
The disciple behind Tie Shizun angrily accused: "You want to hide from debts again? That can't be! ”
Deacon Nian was scolded and grinned on his face, and said, "You don't know, this mountain affairs are temporarily managed by Senior Brother Nan, and I can't be the master of this matter." ”
"You!"
"Hurry, hurry! Iron Master Zun fainted again! ”
……
"Senior brother, I want to go down the mountain to practice."
Gu Cen had already packed his bags on his back, his clothes had changed to brown, and he was holding a sword in his hand, so he had already made the decision to go down the mountain to practice.
"Senior brother, why do you suddenly want to go down the mountain?"
"The cultivation has been delayed for a long time, I think I may be waiting for an opportunity."
Senior Brother Nan put down the book in his hand and looked at Gu Cen with a serious face.
Nan Qin: "How long?" ”
Gu Cen: "It depends on fate." ”
Nan Qinshi: "Won't you come back when the master is out of the customs?" ”
Gu Cen: "Try your best." ”
After Gu Cen finished speaking, he left.
"Senior brother! Brother! I just saw my junior brother walking away as if he was carrying something? ”
Huaxi's forehead was steaming, and as soon as he entered the room, he picked up the cup on the table and poured a cup of tea, and raised his head to drink.
"Drink slowly, he's going down the mountain to practice."
As soon as I drank the water in my mouth, I spit it out with a pop.
Huaxi: "Ahem...... What did you say, brother? ”
Nan Qinshi: "It's really time for him to go down the mountain to practice." ”
Huaxi: "One less person!" ”
In the Southern Qin Dynasty, he brought a pot of tea to Huaxi again and handed it to Huaxi.
Nan Qinshi: "Senior brother doesn't have to worry about him, but your master wants you to practice hard, are you obedient?" ”
Huaxi: "Of course, the things that the master handed over to me have been completed!" ”
……
A few days later.
The border between Linyu Prefecture and Lingyu Prefecture.
The sun slowly descended from the west, Gu Cen and the dragon came to a city called Caodu, as soon as they entered the city gate, there were soldiers who closed the gate, looking at the shops around them, hanging this fluttering white cloth in front of the door, the shops on the road were not lit, and it was a coffin shop after walking ten steps, and the shopkeepers closed their doors one after another.
Gu Cen continued to walk forward, but did not see a shop that could provide accommodation.
Twilight, the air was filled with a sultry humidity, as if it was going to rain, the shops in the distance turned off their lights one by one, and the lights gradually went out, fortunately, there was moonlight that could barely illuminate the way forward, and a woman's call was heard in Gu Cen's ears from time to time.
Gu Cen didn't dare to act rashly in this strange and weird environment, so he asked if the Auger had the same situation as himself?
"Do you hear a woman's voice?"
The dragon struck out of Gu Cen's sleeve and shook his head.
This...... Did you hallucinate? Soon, with a shout, Gu Cen's thought was completely interrupted, and someone was playing a ghost.
Suddenly, with a cat's scream, the moon was obscured by clouds, and the light on the road was completely gone, Gu Cen reacted immediately, clenched his hand on the hilt of his sword, and prepared to draw his sword and attack.
The woman's voice shouted louder and louder, Gu Cen leaned out his divine sense to observe his surroundings, but there was nothing strange about it, and the voice was approaching him.
The mist began to appear, and from time to time gusts of wind blew through the tips of Gu Cen's hair, but it felt like someone had touched you, and this fog seemed to interfere with Gu Cen's divine sense, and Gu Cen had no choice but to take it back.
"Young man."
A rough old voice appeared, and with a little light, a hunchbacked figure appeared in the mist, Gu Cen fanned the fog in front of him, trying to see who was coming.
"Why don't you go home yet?"
A kerosene lamp directly hit Gu Cen's face, and under the kerosene lamp was a kind face, with loose skin, about three wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his hair was so black and thick, and he also wore some bright headdresses.
"I ...... I first came to Caodu. ”
The grandmother chuckled and said, "Hmph...... Hmph, it's a foreigner, but don't wander around outside, it's dangerous. ”
"Danger? Grandma, why are you still outside? ”
Gu Cen didn't know if this old grandmother was scaring herself or if it was really dangerous, if it was really dangerous, she couldn't stop the danger with her body, but on the contrary, she dared to come out blatantly.
The old woman raised the kerosene lamp in her hand and said, "Because I have this." ”
Gu Cen: "Kerosene lamp?"
Grandma: "This is not an ordinary kerosene lamp, this lamp is anti-demon and anti-ghost, it is amazing." ”
Gu Cen: "I see. ”
Gu Cen thought that he hadn't found a place to rest yet, so he wanted to ask the old woman about the people who were staying in the house or the hotel around.
Gu Cen: "Grandma, is there a place to stay around?" ”
The old woman said, "There is a tavern in the old man, if you don't dislike it, you can rest there." ”
Gu Cen: "Grandma is willing to take me in, how dare she dislike it." ”
Granny: "Why don't you keep up?" ”
Gu Cen trotted to catch up with the old man's way.
……
The two walked for a while, turned into an alley, a tavern appeared in front of them, and the old grandmother led Gu Cen into the tavern.
This tavern is really not big as the old grandmother said, but its tavern is clean, and the first thing I saw was a small Si sitting in front of the cabinet, only lighting the candle in front of him, and the dim candle Gu Cen saw that there was wine everywhere.
Seeing that Xiao Si was sitting in front of the cabinet with an unserious face, the grandmother reprimanded: "You lazy, you don't clean up the room when a guest comes!" ”
Xiao Si was scolded and ran to the second floor.
Jia Xiao: "My surname is Jia, you call me Jia shopkeeper, I really don't like to hear grandma." ”
Gu Cen nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Jia." ”
Xiao Si's speed was extremely fast, and he came down from the second floor in the blink of an eye.
Jia Xiao and Xiao Si met their eyes, nodded, and then said to Gu Cen with a smile: "The room is cleaned up, come with me." ”
Jia Xiao took the kerosene lamp in front of the cabinet, led Gu Cen to the second floor, and stopped in the third room at the left turn, the plaque on it said Two Zero Three, and the same was true at the door of each room.
Jia Xiao pushed open the door and made a gesture of please.
Gu Cen walked into the door, Jia Xiao handed the kerosene lamp to Gu Cen, and when Gu Cen was about to close the door, Jia Xiao suddenly spoke.
"Out-of-towners...... If someone calls your name, don't pay attention...... If I tapped you on the shoulder, don't look back......"
In the face of this series of reminders from Shopkeeper Jia, Gu Cen had to accept it whether it was true or not, at least there was no loss.
Gu Cen looked at the back of Jia Xiao leaving, and then closed the door.
"Auger!"
Hearing Gu Cen's call, the auger jumped from his arm onto the table.
"I ...... I can finally speak. ”
Gu Cen was surprised, when was the Auger not allowed to speak.
Gu Cen: "When you can't speak." ”
Auger: "As the old man approached." ”
At least, Shopkeeper Jia said that her kerosene lamp can protect against demons and ghosts, and it seems that she is not lying, but a sentence of not lying does not mean that everything is true.
Gu Cen: "Do you know Caodu?" There are coffin shops everywhere. ”
The auger coiled himself in a circle and told Gu Cen what he knew.
"Caodu is the border city between Linyu Prefecture and Lingyu Prefecture, although it is the territory of Lingguo, but some Warcraft like to live in Caodu very much, and where there are many Warcraft, people die."
Gu Cen asked: "Why didn't Ling Guo get rid of these demonic beasts. ”
"Not to mention the distance, just because the city is depressed and the Warcraft cannot be eradicated, it is not worth bothering the country."
Gu Cen was a little disgusted with the royal family who had never met.
Gu Cen: "What the shopkeeper Jia said just now......
The dragon knew what Gu Cen wanted to ask, so he nodded quickly and said: "What she said is true, there are two major ethnic groups like this Cao, one is the Asking Heart Fox, the voice of the woman you heard on the road is the Asking Heart Fox, this fox is not good at fighting, but being asked by the Heart, those in the Transformation Period have to shed their skin, and the other is the cloud beast, which is the opponent of the Asking Heart Fox, which is no different from ordinary people." He is usually found where there is a fox with a heart, and both love cannibalism. ”
A large string of times passed into Gu Cen's brain, and Gu Cen wanted to digest it well.
"Knock Knock"
A knock on the door woke up Gu Cen, who had just digested the knowledge points, Gu Cen picked up his sword, walked to the door, and opened a crack in the door.
Xiao Si, the shopkeeper of Jia, stood at the door with a plate, the bright candlelight lit up Xiao Si's whole face, Xiao Si was miserable, and the two muscles on both sides of his face mechanically pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a weird smile.
"Guest, your food."
Gu Cen refused, he hadn't ordered any food yet, and Gu Cen wouldn't eat anything of unknown origin if he starved to death.
"Am I confused? It's a pity that everything has been done, and it's a pity. ”
Gu Cen didn't want to pity him, there was no need to take risks to do things.
Auger: "Leave the food behind." ”
Auger's words, did Gu Cen think he thought of something?
Gu Cen reluctantly took the plate and brought it to the table.
And that Xiao Si actually took advantage of the moment when Gu Cen turned his back and looked into the room.
Shan was discovered by Gu Cen, and threw the thing down on Xiao Si heavily, and closed the door with a bang.
Sit back down in your original position and ask why you want to stay here to eat.
Gu Cen: "Why do you keep these?" Is it useful? ”
The auger picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, but before Gu Cen could stop it, he was stopped by the auger.
Auger: "I just want to eat." ”
Gu Cen: "Aren't you afraid of being poisonous?" ”
Auger: "I am invincible." ”
Twister Twister Twist Twist Snake Mouth, swallow it bite by bite, eat so many Twisted Dragons without anything, although he has opened up the valley, but the breath of fireworks in the world really attracts Gu Cen.
Gu Cen took out a magic weapon from the void and swept it over the various dishes, the magic weapon did not show any abnormality, Gu Cen picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth.
