Chapter IX: Emergency Refuge

After taking a look at his itinerary, there was still time to stay in Qingyu City until after the Qixi Festival, He Hongxue brought a little bit of the mentality of Taobao from the stalls, maybe he could find something good here.

Dr. Zhang's medicine was quite effective, her stomach distension was relieved a lot, and after eating too much for a long time, her stomach couldn't stand it, and the turbidity rose. She squatted on the toilet in the first half of the night, squatted on the roof in the second half of the night, and meditated for a long time before returning to clean and vomit, and Rao didn't dare to eat indiscriminately anymore.

"It's really boring for you to cultivate immortals, you can't eat anything delicious." When He Hongxue vomited, Dr. Zhang sat next to him around the cat's neck, and He Hongxue didn't hide it from him, after all, she was the one who had checked her identity in the security center, but she was a little embarrassed to hide her real name.

"I understand that when you are outside, a pseudonym is a mood." Dr. Zhang's cat scarf seemed to be asleep, and his tail hung down on his chest, lining him like a noblewoman.

At night, the moon was unabated, He Hongxue looked up, and he could vaguely see that the spiritual power flow of the defensive wall had formed a half-spherical shape, enveloping the entire Qingyu City. I don't know if it's because of the low altitude of Qingyu City and the thin spiritual power, or because of the spirit blocking effect of the defense wall, her efficiency of spitting out is greatly reduced. After purifying the turbidity, she took care of the operation of the week, and stopped doing the inefficient useless work.

From the roof of the inn, you can see several streets, some of which have been lit up with lanterns, just waiting for the little couple to come to visit me. There is a river not far away, connecting the moat, forming a criss-crossing waterway in the city, and there will be river lights floating everywhere on the day of Tanabata, such as the stars of this night.

"However, Hongxue and Xiaoxue are not half a little different." Zhang Mu followed her gaze and also looked at him, it was not that he had never seen an immortal cultivator in the world over the years, and it was indeed very uncommon for He Hongxue to do this.

"It's not to fool you, my mother's name for me is Xiaoxue, my Xiaoxue was born." He Hongxue still likes to look up at the sky and look at the stars, she is not as proficient in the stars as the senior brother in charge, and she can't see the wind and snow, but she inexplicably likes the unpredictable quietness, and she must be very emotional when she uses the stars as abacus beads.

She thought so, and smiled like a money fan.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, I want snow in the evening, can I drink a cup?" Zhang Mu didn't know when he found a wine gourd, which was similar to the one given to He Hongxue.

"Okay, good, the smell of wine has pierced the bowels." A woman who eats the marrow and knows the taste really can't withstand the temptation.

Thanks to Dr. Zhang's blessing, the inn opened a two-bedroom suite for the two of them, and the two small bedrooms were connected to a small living room.

When Zhang Mu got up in the morning, he found He Hongxue writing something on the table in the small living room, and there was an abacus borrowed from the shopkeeper last night next to him.

The paper was full of things he couldn't understand, all kinds of horizontal and vertical lines, and He Hongxue was lying in this pile of lines, like a big blue-green spider.

"Did you change your clothes?" He remembered that He Hongxue was still dressed in jujube red and dark colors yesterday, and today she changed to the same color as him.

He Hongxue got up from the pile of papers and greeted him absentmindedly: "Your eyes are better than our female cultivators." ”

Yesterday, the two of them went around in Qingyu City for most of the circle, He Hongxue estimated the number of shops in the city, and today he was going to go to the largest library in Qingyu to check the accurate information, and got up early in the morning to simulate several insurance amount calculation methods, and wrote out the effect of encryption as soon as he wrote it.

Zhang Mu wanted to pick up a piece of paper next to him to take a look, but He Hongxue shouted: "Doctor Zhang, wait, I put it together over there!" ”

Zhang Mu put her back again, went downstairs and called breakfast, and when he came back, He Hongxue had already vacated half of the table for him, and all the papers were numbered and arranged in order.

He Hongxue was still cleaning up the other half of the table, "The paper is not big enough, so I can only put it together and write." Only then did she withdraw from the messy equation and looked at Zhang Mu officially, "Hey, Dr. Zhang, today we are a couple." ”

Xiao Er, who came up with breakfast, was pushing the door, and when he heard this, he was so frightened that he almost knocked over a bowl of tofu brain.

Today, He Hongxue didn't dare to eat anymore, Zhang Mu was holding a tofu brain alone, and his eating appearance was very elegant, he didn't even have a sucking sound, the black cat was so quiet, probably because he learned it.

Thinking of the cat, He Hongxue gave Zhang Mu a look, and when she saw Zhang Mu nodding, she touched Zhang Mu's room like a thief and pulled the black cat out of the bed.

"Mia!!"

A terrifying cat meow can be heard in the room.

"Sir! He's making me sleep! ”

"Well, bear with me." Zhang Mu put down the bowl of tofu brain and said in the room. He Hongxue came out with a black cat with teeth and claws, and the two blood marks on the back of her hand were very conspicuous.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can bear this injury." She thought that Zhang Mu was saying to her, and wiped off the small blood beads nonchalantly, "Don't you cut your nails?" Little darling. She soothed the fried cat, but the black cat twisted and twisted more slippery than a loach.

Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment when he saw the blood marks, and the aura around his body suddenly became cold, and the moment He Hongxue teased the cat and turned his back to him, his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils, and his eyes shot straight at the black cat like a sword.

The black cat shivered in He Hongxue's arms and couldn't move.

"Mi woo ...... "Sir, I was wrong.

The black cat licked the wound on He Hongxue's hand meekly and flatteringly, He Hongxue put it on the ground and didn't let it lick it, "It's me who is not good and disturbs your sleep." The black cat ran to her feet and rubbed hard, and followed him to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu had returned to his usual appearance, letting the cat rub his feet again, and drank the bowl of tofu brain. Putting down the empty bowl, he stretched out his hand to the black cat: "Come up." ”

The black cat wagged its tail and jumped on his lap, not daring to move.

Zhang Mu put the stiff cat on He Hongxue's shoulder: "He's a little angry and hurt you, I'm sorry." ”

He Hongxue is happy to have a cat on his shoulder, how can he manage so much: "It's okay, it's okay, my immortal cultivation has rough skin and thick flesh ......" The second half of the sentence touched the cat and was swallowed by him.

"Why didn't I see you grinding ink?" Zhang Mu put the dishes and chopsticks back on the tray and brought them downstairs to Xiao Er in a while.

"My special pen has built-in ink, and it won't get your hands dirty like charcoal." He Hongxue took out a gold pen and shook the replica little by little, and then put it back.

Today, Dr. Zhang had no arrangements, and took He Hongxue to the largest bookstore in Qingyu City, he sent He Hongxue to the door of the bookstore, and pointed to the sign at the door, "Pets are not allowed to be brought in."

"Xiao Hei and I are walking around the neighborhood, shall we see you at the inn in the evening?"

He Hongxue shook her head and took out a blue stone from her arms, "Sound transmission stone, you take it, shake it and pinch it, I will look for you when I see the information, and if you want to find me, I will pinch it." He watched Zhang Mu put this thing in his arms, surrounded Xiao Hei again, and entered the library by himself.

Qingyu City emphasizes education, and large and small public libraries have been opened in the city, keeping in mind the tragic lesson of "backwardness will be beaten", and strive to enlighten the people's wisdom and seek development.

He Hongxue stood in the vast sea of books, and a feeling of being separated from the world came to her face.

In addition to the historical changes of Sunny Rain City itself, there are also the customs and customs of the surrounding area.

He Hongxue walked past the rows of bookshelves, and the history of Qingyu City unfolded before his eyes.

The older the paper becomes, it can be seen that it has been revised several times over the generations, and the complicated and lengthy time is regarded as a treasure, from the previous generation to the next generation.

Compared with the thousand-year-old history of the immortal cultivation world, the hundreds of years that Qingyu City is proud of are like a castle piled up in the sand, but He Hongxue does not dare to slack off.

She is a genius who does not understand the suffering of mediocrity, but she understands the struggle and helplessness behind the suffering, as well as the revival and progress after the suffering.

Mother chose to keep her alive in the winter of famine, and she knew better than anyone the fragility and heaviness of life.

"You're coming in the light snow, I can't let you leave in the snow." His mother cut her hand and put it in his mouth, which was so hungry that he fell unconscious.

If heaven is not benevolent, then people should love themselves a little more, and every living being deserves to be loved.

"I hope you ......" She took out a blue stone, stroked it twice, and put it back in her arms, concentrating on the information he had requested.

Zhang Mu surrounded Xiao Hei and did not go around, but found a high ground to look at Qingyu City.

The black cat jumped down from his neck and said to him respectfully, "Sir, you have been very fond of climbing high and looking into the distance. ”

"Xiao Hei, how long has it been since I left the Demon Domain."

"More than twenty years."

"Is your hometown okay?"

Xiao Hei couldn't understand, he vaguely felt that Mr. Mu's words carried emotions that he didn't understand, but he couldn't catch them.

Mr. Mu is His Majesty's right-hand man in the Demon Domain, and he never has a soft hand in killing, he obviously has a beautiful face, but he can stop children crying at night, and the demons see that he is not commensurate with his position, and they all call him "Mr. Mu".

The black cat has followed Mr. Mu since the war a hundred years ago, but he feels that he is not as terrible as the rumors, although he has seen many gentlemen's methods in the past hundred years, but the sixth sense of the cat clan tells him that there is always a sense of disobedience, but Xiao Hei is still too young, and he can't understand Mr. Mu, who is as gentle as water and as quiet as an abyss.

"Sir, who does you think did the several formations by the Qingshui River that day?" Xiao Hei threw out his own questions.

"Who does it has nothing to do with 'Zhang Mu', does it?" Zhang Mu walked slowly along the city wall, and Xiao Hei Youdi paced at the head of the city.

"Are you homesick? Then go back early. He licked his paws and combed his beard.

Zhang Mu didn't answer him, picked him up and wrapped it around his neck: "The wind is blowing." ”

He Hongxue calculated the accounts of the whole day with the help of merchant data in the library, and came out of it dizzily, without the support of majestic spiritual power, she relied on her hand to dial the abacus beads, she felt that she was going to see the ancestor of Sanqing in the next second.

It's very strange, the street that should be bustling at dusk is extremely rare, and occasionally passing by two people are still in a hurry, she grabbed a person and asked, the person said to her anxiously: "The defense center sounded the alarm, there are scattered small groups of demons about to invade from this direction, and the residents in this vicinity have been evacuated, why are you still here?" ”

"You came out of the library? If you don't have anywhere to go, hurry back to the library, where there is an emergency shelter. With that, the man hurried away again.

What He Hongxue was worried about still happened, she pinched the blue stone in her arms without giving up, and after more than ten seconds, Zhang Mu's voice came from the stone: "Hey, where are you?" ”

If you want to ask, she was robbed by the other party, and He Hongxue had to say: "I'm near the library, what about you?" ”

"I'm in the shelter east of the city, you ......" followed by the sound of interference, and the communication began to become unstable, "Library...... You...... I'll go...... Pick you up. ”

"Don't come here, I'm a monk, what's going on, hey!" The communication was completely interrupted, and He Hongxue looked up at the light blue defensive wall where the flow of spiritual power became very obvious, and the spiritual power flow of the sound transmission stone should have been affected by this.

She secretly scolded Yang Yizhen for being useless, even mortals can't do what she makes, and she put a little snack on the side.

Dusk and blue streamers were entangled, weaving a magnificent ribbon of light above Sunny Rain City, He Hongxue Yuanying Monk's physical eyesight was extremely good, and she could already see a small black spot in the eastern sky moving towards Sunny Rain City, and she ran further east, ignoring the surprised eyes of the evacuees.

The location of the library is already in the east of the city, and there are not many people on the road. She was amazed by the evacuation efficiency of Sunny Rain City.

Approaching the eastern tower, he noticed that the nearby spirit guns had all been reoriented, and the heavily armed soldiers were reloading their ammunition in an orderly manner in the direction from which the black dot was coming.

The blue stream of spiritual power flickered faintly on the cannon body, and it only waited for the flying demon to enter the firing range before firing the cannon. When the huge muzzle of the spirit blaster gun rotated, the ground shook, and He Hongxue couldn't imagine how much recoil there was when the cannon was fired.

When a guard saw He Hongxue who was lonely, she wanted to rush her to take refuge, but she hurriedly took out her pass to show her identity as a monk, and got permission to stay and watch the battle.

The soldiers were still confirming the location of the demons from the viewing scope and rangefinder, and He Hongxue had already seen the type of demons.

"The monk said that it was a flying demon, a night owl, winged and bipedal, and vicious. Illustrated No. 52 of Category C. The herald passed the information provided by He Hongxue to the control tower through a special sound transmission stone, and also attached the illustrated number, which made He Hongxue sigh.

"The night owls are in range, and the cannons are reloaded for the first time, allowing for three shots. The first shot. Get ready. Three, two, stop!! ”

He Hongxue had already covered her ears, ready to watch the power of the human cannon, but heard the command to stop.

She looked around, and saw a person and a sword standing in front of the night owl group, people like green pines, and swords like the remnant sun.
