Chapter 32: Zhong Lei of the Worry-Free Dart Game
Gu Shengchao touched the back of his head, the wound had long since healed, but the experience of that night always puzzled him. He only remembered that the ancient holy dragon wanted to kill him and stun him from behind with a stone, and he didn't know anything about it. He also wondered why he had been spared his life in the end, when he had been killed.
"Tell me, what happened that night?" Gu Shengchao stepped forward and asked.
"Someone tried to kill you, smashed you from behind with a stone, drew a sword and killed you, it was my brothers who drew their swords to help and scared the man away, and this saved you." Black Impermanence said.
Bai Wuchang added: "Yes, it was my brothers who saved you. By the way, your dantian was shattered at that time, and your martial arts were abolished. ”
Hei Wuchang retorted: "No, if he really abolished his martial arts, how could he be so powerful, you and I are both defeated by others." ”
"That's right, he just abolished his martial arts, I can see it, otherwise you would have recognized the wrong person." Bai Wuchang was not convinced.
"Fart, he was saved by the two of us." Hei Wuchang was afraid that Gu Shengchao would not admit it, so he quarreled with Bai Wuchang.
"What if you save it, it's not that the family will be arrested." Bai Wuchang is unforgiving.
Gu Shengchao stepped forward to solve the acupuncture points of the two, and said with a deep salute: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the two beneficians that day, and you are courteous." ”
Black and white impermanence glanced at each other, and asked in unison, "Haven't you been abolished martial arts?" ”
Gu Shengchao replied: "Count my fate, by chance, I have resumed my cultivation, and I am even more diligent." ”
Bai Wuchang glanced around, waved his hand at Gu Shengchao and said, "It's not enough to worry about it, so I will leave." "He's pulling the black impermanence and is leaving.
Gu Shengchao saluted: "The two benevolent fathers go slowly. ”
The middle-aged man was in a hurry and stopped: "Wait, you two stole our ancestral tomb, how can you just leave, you have to give us an explanation." ”
Black and white impermanence unwrapped his bag and poured out all the contents of it, "That's all, leave it all for you, my brothers don't take any of them, so it's okay." ”
One of the villagers said loudly: "You can't cheapen them like this, it's the ancestral grave of our Guojia Village, and there must be an explanation." ”
Hei Wuchang listened and glanced back at the villager, "Are you sure that your ancestor's surname is Guo?" ”
The villager said angrily: "Nonsense, don't have the surname Guo, what is our surname." ”
Hei Wuchang said happily: "That's right, the owner of this tomb is surnamed Tong, not Guo." ”
The middle-aged man didn't believe it, "Nonsense, we have been worshipping for hundreds of years, how can we be mistaken." ”
Hei Wuchang took off the high hat on his head, threw it aside casually and said, "What I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go down and find out." ”
To enter the tomb of their ancestors, everyone hesitated, and the middle-aged man took a torch: "What should we do if you deceive us with nonsense?" ”
"At your disposal." Black Impermanence replied categorically.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand and said, "You two lead the way, let's find out." ”
Black and white impermanence raised the torch in front of him to lead the way, and the middle-aged man and the other three followed into the tomb, while Gu Shengchao, Liu Ximei and the rest of the people waited outside. After a while, the middle-aged man took the lead in walking out, his face was gloomy, and his eyes became dull, and he looked preoccupied.
"Brother Guo, how is it?" Someone stepped forward to ask.
The middle-aged man frowned, his eyes swept over the people in Guojia Village one by one, and said in a low voice: "There is an epitaph on the wall of the tomb, indicating that it is the imperial historian of the previous dynasty, surnamed Tong, not our ancestor in the legend." ”
"What, we've been kowtowing to an outsider for so many years to burn paper, what a ghost!" A villager gets emotional.
"I don't believe it, I'll go down and have a look." A villager lowered his torch.
"I'll go too." More villagers followed.
The rest were all ignorant, unable to believe that such a ridiculous thing had happened to them.
Black and white impermanence looked at each other, pulled Gu Shengchao aside, and Liu Ximei also followed. The villagers were ignorant, unable to believe this absurd reality, and stood in place in a daze, where could they still take care of others.
Gu Shengchao walked out of the distance and couldn't see the villagers who were in confusion, so he saluted the black and white impermanence again: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the two Engongs that day, dare to ask the surname of Engong, let me remember it." ”
Hei Impermanence patted his chest and said: "My name is Jia Liufang, his name is Zhuang Baishi, both of us make a living by robbing tombs, and we become brothers with similar interests, and people give them the nickname 'Black and White Impermanence'." ”
Gu Shengchao was extremely disgusted with such a means of making a living, so he said because of Engong's bad face, so he said: "My husband and wife happened to go to the capital to have an emergency, so don't leave it at that." He took Liu Ximei's hand and walked away without looking back.
Bai Wuchang saw Gu Shengchao's disgusted expression, spat on the ground, and said disdainfully: "What kind of thing, saved his life and got up again." ”
Hei Wuchang smiled helplessly, and advised him: "Don't say cool words, that is, when you meet him, if you meet someone else, our brothers will be planted here today." ”
……
Gu Shengchao walked up the mountain with a displeased face, Liu Ximei saw his frustration and asked, "What's the matter, seeing your listless appearance, you must have something on your mind." ”
"Alas, I was rescued by two tomb robbers that day, of course I am not happy, it is better not to know the truth." Gu Shengchao said regretfully.
Liu Ximei disagreed, "From the princes and nobles to the common people, their morality must be noble in the former, and the latter must be humble?" ”
"Not necessarily, most of the princes and nobles are bent and welcoming, and the people of Li also have good people who are upright and upright, so we can't talk about them one by one." Gu Shengchao replied.
Liu Ximei smiled and said: "This is not over, the dignity of good and bad character does not distinguish between status, and you don't care about the nobility of your profession, why do you bother with these troubles?" ”
Gu Shengchao thought about it, and he suddenly felt open-minded, and let out a long howl, and the sound was constantly stirring in the mountains and forests. He picked up his eyebrows and strode towards the mountain by moonlight.
The two of them heard a dull roar from afar, and when they reached the top of the mountain, a wide waterfall rushed down, the sound was deafening, and a vast mist spread through the mountain. Gu Shengchao jumped up in a few steps, a big river was in front of him, and he walked less than two miles against the current, and there was a stone arch bridge of white marble connecting both sides of the riverbank.
Gu Shengchao walked across the stone bridge with Liu Ximei on his back, and the roar of the waterfall gradually weakened, which should be because he was standing on a high place. There is a cloth-pounding lady by the river pounding the clothes, the mallet in her hand rises one after another, and the sound of beating is like music, adding a bit of fun to the boring moonlit night.
Looking into the distance, the lights of thousands of homes are left in the world like stars, and the magnificent scenery makes people forget to return. In the middle of the dazzling night view is a tall tower, the exterior wall of which is made of unknown materials, and the lights are illuminated with colorful colors, constantly changing in brilliant colors. Where is this capital, it is clearly the heavenly fairy palace descending to the world.
Gu Shengchao was stunned, but he asked: "Ordinary towns are surrounded by tall city walls, and the capital city of the Dawu Dynasty, which is known all over the world, is actually unprotected, which makes people wonder through, aren't you afraid of someone sneaking attack?" ”
Liu Ximei smiled, "Don't you think about it, the capital is located in the center of my dynasty, there are rivers as natural barriers on the periphery, and it is on the high mountains, if there is really an enemy to break through these obstacles, what is the use of the city wall." ”
Gu Shengchao was dumbfounded, and said approvingly: "It's still a lady's heart, but I'm abrupt." ”
The two walked through the cottages scattered in the fields, zigzagged forward for five or six miles, passed under a tall city tower, and then officially entered the capital. There are guards armed with knives and guns on the castle tower, but there is no city gate below the castle tower, just a symbolic existence. There is no curfew in the capital, and even though it is late at night, pedestrians wander the streets in twos and threes, unhindered and unobstructed.
The first impression of the capital is that there are many restaurants and inns, and perhaps most of the people who enter the city from here are business travelers, who need to eat and rest. Gu Shengchao found an inn to live in, and now the suitable rooms are full at night, only one large suite is empty, and the cost is more expensive, but they are in a hurry to stay in the hotel and rest, so they settle down. The guy didn't react when he saw him carrying a masked woman, which made Gu Shengchao secretly praise that the capital was indeed a metropolis, and even the guy was not surprised, if it was in other towns, people would have been suspicious for a long time, and the eyes of the two of them were inexplicable.
After resting for one night, the two of them washed up and ate breakfast on the second day, and then went to the bustling places of the capital to hang out. The capital is very different from other towns, with spacious streets and many shops, and a dazzling array of signboards. They found that there were more than three in the capital, many pawnshops, many money villages, and many Goolan Washe.
Liu Ximei walked to the market where rouge and jewelry were bought and sold, and she couldn't put it down when she saw any of them, so Gu Shengchao bought a large bamboo basket to hold the purchased items. Liu Ximei took a fancy to a pair of earrings again, the jade ruyi shape, the tentacles were smooth and crystal piercing, and she was overjoyed to let Gu Shengchao help put them on the earlobes. Gu Shengchao helped a girl wear jewelry for the first time, and first put the mask on Liu Ximei's face aside, and then clumsily put it on through the ear holes, Liu Ximei's earlobes were soft, and Gu Shengchao was afraid that it would hurt her.
"Pretty!" Liu Ximei waited for Gu Shengchao to put it on, pinched the mask to the middle, shook her head, and the earrings swayed, perfectly matching her delicate skin.
"Pretty." Gu Shengchao was sincerely amazed, his gaze passed through Liu Ximei's earlobe, and he found a familiar figure passing by in the distance. He looked at it again, and two more figures flashed behind him.
"I saw the bell thunder dart head of the worry-free dart game, you go back to the inn first and wait, and I'll talk to you in detail when I go back." Gu Shengchao and Liu Ximei whispered.
Liu Ximei turned around to watch, but she didn't find any suspicious person, she said suspiciously: "Are you sure?" ”
"Can't be wrong, see you at the inn." Gu Shengchao handed the bamboo basket to Liu Ximei and chased it in that direction.
People on the streets are rubbing shoulders and bustling, and it stands to reason that it will be difficult for Gu Shengchao to catch up after him. However, his keen perception played an important role, and after chasing for a short time, he sensed the aura of two people moving forward at high speed, which was completely different from the many other breaths around him that were relatively static.
