Chapter 157: Who is the wolf for?
It was too early for the sun to set, and the fire had already ignited, and Ye Xiu, who stayed on standby on the high ground, could see it clearly and hear it clearly, although there were bursts of wolf howls, and occasionally there were terrible screams mixed with it, in general, it was quite stable, at least I didn't see a timid Ye Xiu running out of the periphery of the grassland to escape for his life.
When the sun sets and the sky is dark, the creepy can illuminate the vast area as the fire spreads in the pasture, and more places are still as dark as ink, which inevitably makes people panic.
Tonight's breeze, the wind is southeast, the smoke and dust in the grassland are like fog, some smoke is carried by the wind direction, and flows to the edge of the highlands here, the wind is attached to the fine ashes, for a while, like "black snow" falling from the sky.
The disciples of the sect and a group of wild cultivators who took money to do things hastily solved their hunger and thirst, and continued to stare at the bottom, not daring to let go for a moment.
Cui Ying sat on the edge of the gentle slope, holding a weed in her mouth, looking into the grassland surrounded by three fires, as far as her eyes could see, at most she could see a little shaking shadow flashing, there were both humans and beasts, and I didn't know which side was dominant.
"You said that after tossing all night, can you see it?" Cui Ying asked casually.
Chen Jing shook his head and said, "Who can know?" ”
Then he said: "If you force out the first wolf, Ming Yuan Immortal Master will personally kill the wolves with his advanced cultivation and forcibly take the demon wolf demon pill, then it will be much easier, but I am afraid of what happens." ”
Cui Ying asked, "For example?" ”
Chen Jing sat down beside her, raised one hand, felt the ashes fall on his fingertips, and said, "For example, what is the ability of that demon wolf?" Demons are different from people, whether it is ability or cultivation, it is difficult to deduce only from the words that Ye Xiu has witnessed in the past.
I take it lightly, and under the carelessness of the moment, there may be a crisis of overturning the ship in the gutter, and there will be a full loss if it is not even.
Valued, these people are mighty, in the name of 'killing demons', they can easily level the grassland wolves, and they will not be thought of as killing chickens with a knife, making a big fuss. ”
Cui Ying looked at the person hiding behind the boulder on the other side, and said suspiciously: "These people care about face, can't they, I went to ask a wild cultivator during the day, even if he knew that he was exchanging his life for money, that person was at ease." ”
Chen nodded and said: "Those people below, Ye Xiu, and even the disciples of the sect, will not think about those who have or don't, only those heads and immortal masters will care about face, in fact, it is nothing more than one party is short of money, and the other party wants face, it seems to be unequal, but in fact it is almost the same, after all, this world is like this, the master who is not short of money, naturally pays attention to face, most of Ye Xiu are shy in their pockets, and if they want face, they have to make their pockets bulge first." ”
Tong Daochang came over with his granddaughter on his back, thinking that he had superb concealment methods, but he was a little lacking in heart, and even the donkey was brought over, so a big shadow, covering his head and exposing his buttocks, it was difficult for others not to notice.
Cui Ying looked down without a face, and said to Daochang Tong, who was squatting and walking: "Dao Chief, alas, you really want to hide people's eyes and ears, no matter what, you can only use crawling, the size of an old and a small grinding plate, who can not see it?" ”
Daoist Tong was surprised: "See? ”
Xiao Zhu'er patted her grandfather's head and giggled, shouting in her mouth, "See, see......"
Daochang Tong hurriedly asked his granddaughter to silence him, and he couldn't add chaos at a good time.
After approaching with his granddaughter on his back, he squatted down and asked, "You two really don't plan to leave?" The poor road is over, let's go now, even if those people want to stop, it will take a lot of effort, but if they delay for a moment and walk out of a few miles, they can find a bush to lie down, and they can't make a sound, they want to find it as difficult as the sky. Besides, a few of us can't help much, and they leave quietly, can they still ignore the business and go to a few of us? ”
Chen Jing rubbed Xiao Zhu'er's braincase, and said gently: "The Taoist only needs to take the first step with his granddaughter, if there is disharmony, listen to the advice of the juniors, the donkey should give up, and when it is interrupted, it will be chaotic." ”
Hearing this, Daoist Tong glanced back at the thin old donkey next to the tree, let his granddaughter get off his back, and sighed: "Originally, the old Taoist thought that one day, he would be unlucky to the end of the mountains and rivers, so that he could use the donkey as a ration, but fortunately, there has never been such a predicament in the past few years. ”
Cui Ying swallowed her saliva and said, "Don't say anything else, donkey meat is really fragrant, otherwise Daoist Tong will leave the donkey to me." ”
Tong Daochang's eyes widened, and he said with grief and indignation: "Poor Dao just said, the donkey brother is half of the family, is Cui Daoyou planning to harm my family?" ”
Cui Ying gouged her nostrils and said indifferently: "I have silver here?" ”
"Is this a negotiable matter with silver?" Tong Daochang didn't know what Cui Daoyou asked.
Cui Ying took out a gold bar from her sleeve, brought it to her mouth and said with a sigh: "There is gold too." ”
Tong Daochang snatched the gold bar, pointed to the old donkey and said as a matter of course: "It's just a beast, either used to carry people and animals, or to kill to eat meat, since the transaction has been completed, the donkey will belong to Cui Daoyou, steaming, stewing, and roasting have nothing to do with the poor road, Cui Daoyou just let it go." ”
Chen Jing saw Cui Ying's gaze, shook his head slowly, and said, "Don't think about letting me do it, you can solve it yourself." ”
Xiao Zhu'er stared at the old donkey who was cutting grass roots, and muttered in her mouth: "Eat meat, eat donkey meat, donkey meat is fragrant......
"It's out!"
I don't know which one kindly reminded me, and everyone hurriedly looked at the grassland below.
Daoist Tong took advantage of the light of the grassland fire, stared at it for a moment, and then wondered: "Who came out, didn't you see it?" ”
Cui Ying said: "It's not someone who came out. ”
Chen Jing pointed to clusters of subtle green light in the shadows and said, "The wolves have come out." ”
With the help of the faint firelight, Chen Jing saw that the wolves had stepped out of the grassland boundary, lined up in a line, tight back and forth, and the dark light in his eyes was layered on top of each other, and now that he thought about it, the monk named "Haofeng" said "no less than three hundred", which was really polite.
Daoist Tong immediately put away his curiosity, picked up his granddaughter and said, "The matter has come to this, and the poor Dao will say goodbye to the two Taoist friends." ”
After speaking, he subconsciously wanted to run away without leading the donkey, and suddenly realized that the donkey was no longer his own, so he had to walk over and pat the donkey's back twice, but unfortunately said: "I'm sorry, I sold you at this time, I hope you can have a good relationship with Cui Daoyou......"
Thinking of this, Tong Dao was sad from the heart, Cui Dao ate friendly, and estimated that the donkey brother would not live for a few days.
Carrying his granddaughter and leaving, his heart hurts, not only because the donkey brother is dying, but also because of this go, when the donkey meat is not shared, the more I think about it, the more heartache it is, the pain is even more painful, what is it to not go?
"Push!"
At the sound of an order, everyone pushed out the boulder and rolled down the slope.
Chen Jing glanced at the boulder that rolled down, and sighed secretly in his heart, it was a little early, not only that, when it fell to the bottom, although the boulder was overwhelming under the power of the boulder, the number was too scarce, and many of them almost couldn't hit the wolves, and they dodged after a few bounces.
"Whew-"
The horn sounded behind the wolves, and then the flames suddenly rose from the edge of the pack.
Chen Jing saw that the flames on the east and west sides seemed to have spiritual wisdom, but they were not controlled by the direction of the wind, and the tongue of fire burned towards the north.
It goes without saying that it's all running for the wolves.
The wolves finally stepped out of the meadow boundary, and a small group of wolves, not in a group, but scattered but not chaotic, came up the slope.
There was a neat sound of "buzz", and the crossbows erected on the high ground shot arrows, and one of them missed, and all of them were dodged by the wolves.
Chen Jing couldn't stand it, walked up to the disciple of the sect and said, "Either you wait closer, or you will launch one after another, such a dragonfly shoots crossbow arrows, and it all depends on luck." ”
The disciples of the sect caught a glimpse of the wolves getting closer and closer, panicked in their hearts, and said unconvinced: "If you can't shoot, you won't be able to shoot, come up and do it with these animals, I'm afraid they won't succeed?" ”
Cui Ying Yin and Yang exclaimed: "What an iron-clad hero, I hope you can kill a few more beasts later." ”
Chen Jing saw another wave of wolves coming up behind him, and hurriedly said to the sect disciples: "Since you have the heart to fight the wolves face to face, why don't you shoot all the crossbow arrows, anyway, there is not much time to use later." ”
Ye Xiu, who was holding a bow and crossbow in his hand, heard it, and said: "Yes, you can use it when you need it, and I'm afraid that it will be broken, and we can't pick up the bow and crossbow to smash the head of the beast, and with a sword in each hand, it is not easy to cut the wolf." ”
"Put, put, put! It's all fucking experts, and they teach Lao Tzu a lesson. ”
After the disciples of the sect shouted, the bows and crossbows finally had a hint of arrow rain, although there was no military formation to speak of, they shot indiscriminately, barely able to shoot a few giant wolves.
Cui Ying looked at a few giant wolves that were hit by arrows, and ran instead of climbing, but they never fell, but they said regretfully: "It's quite strong." ”
Then he looked at the people on the side, "A bunch of people are going to die tonight." ”
"There is a sword out of the sword, and there is a sword drawn from the sword!"
The disciples of the sect shouted, and Ye Xiu immediately showed his blade, looking from the side, majestic and majestic.
Finally, at a distance of dozens of zhang, ordinary people can see the figure of the giant wolf clearly, and without waiting for a detailed reciprocal identification, with a wolf roar, the first giant wolf jumped high, looked at one person, opened his mouth to show his fangs, and bit down.
Ye Xiu was forced to be a little slower for a while, but fortunately, a few people next to him reacted decisively, each of them reached out to help, the swords were added, and a spear stabbed into the belly of the giant wolf, and after a while, a wail ended the beast.
The disciple of the sect scolded: "If you don't want to live, get down and feed the wolves, don't make trouble here." ”
That giant wolf was really as people said, it was surprisingly big, two laps bigger than ordinary thin and weak wild cultivators.
Chen Jing asked them to form a team of equals, so that they could deal with it, as for whether they would listen and live? Then leave it to fate.
Cui Ying couldn't control it so much, kicked a giant wolf with one foot, jumped down the slope from the edge of the highland, and made a move to "spread the wings of Dapeng" to deal with the second wave of wolves.
Chen Jing saw that she was so reckless, shook off the blood stains of the Qinggang sword, and said angrily: "Don't rush in"
Cui Ying laughed in the air, "Lao Tzu just wants to be happy!" ”
