Chapter 51: Wolf Ancient Mountain
The phrase "enough" seems to have a magical power.
When Yun Qing was still jumping up and down, Qu Laosan took the lead in standing aside with his hands down, without any expression of fear, dissatisfaction or relief on his face, like a doll with a clockwork drain.
"It's the person who talks to Master Qi on the second floor of Yanyu Building, Tu Qian! He carried a mask. ”
Yun Qing stopped on the beam of the house, trying hard to find his true face from under that face, and for this reason, Yun Qing released his divine sense.
It was very strange that the Divine Consciousness Sutra slid to the side from the gray mask, and what was even more strange was that like his slender self, there was no Xuan Qi fluctuation on the face.
Yun Qing quietly set his eyes on the fat man, hoping that he would give him any hints about this person.
But he was disappointed, the fat man who had been fighting on the second floor was like a well-behaved kitten at this time.
The others also stood in the same place, neither moving nor speaking, following the two words of the gray-robed man, "enough."
Yun Qing's eyes flashed again, and the door was already empty, and even the lively hall guests had unconsciously walked away.
Qu Laosan put away the machete, tore off the sleeve and cuff to tie the injured palm.
"Let's go!"
He didn't look at Yun Qing again, and even omitted the warning look and the cruel words in the routine, "You wait for me" and the like.
Yun Qing jumped off the beam of the room and watched the backs of several people disappear at the door, and walked towards the fat man:
"That's it?"
The fat man sat down and ate the roast leg of lamb that was already cold in front of him.
"It should be forgotten in a few days."
The fat man warmed the meat in his mouth, then chewed it carefully, and after swallowing the meat in his mouth, he raised his head and answered Yun Qing's question.
This conversation is too slow, even if the fat man eats the leg of lamb in front of him for a long time, he can't answer a few questions from Yun Qing.
Anyway, his stomach was still hungry, and although the fat man's leg of mutton was cold, fortunately it was not splashed with blood, Yun Qing simply tore off a large piece of meat and chewed it in a big gulp.
Someone grabbed it, so they naturally ate it quickly, looking at the bones gnawed clean on the slate table, Yun Qing opened his mouth and asked:
"Why is it in a few days? Who is that person? Why are you not so obedient as if you were afraid?。。。。 ”
"Wait."
The fat man motioned to Yun Qing to let him think about it, and then he concluded:
"He'll usually stay in one place for a few days, and he'll tell the guy upstairs everything he knows, including how many times you've been to the hut."
"And then?"
The fat man seemed to be confused: "It seems that there is no then, only that some people have disappeared forever." ”
Yun Qing was also confused when he heard it: "Is it a punishment?" ”
The fat man replied quickly: "No, he is just a pair of eyes, and the upstairs is not a punishment, some people have done good deeds, and some people have conflicts with their peers, and they will disappear." ”
Yun Qing glanced at the door intentionally or unintentionally: "If he wants to talk nonsense, will there be many people who died unjustly?" ”
"No, he's honest! In fact, not many people have disappeared. The fat man retorted.
Yun Qing still has a question: "Is Tu Qian him?" ”
"I don't know, but it's definitely Tu Qian in the building."
Yun Qing asked the last question: "Who is the person upstairs?" ”
"I don't know!"
An inexplicable conversation, an inexplicable end, the fat man seems to have said a lot, and it seems that he didn't say anything.
In short, you can sleep peacefully at night.
The sky was hazy, the fat man had already gone to the stable, returned to the house and shouted Yunqing to pack his things, the morning was very cold, and the two went out of the walled city and continued to the west.
At noon, the valley was divided, the wind and sand gradually rose, Yun Qing wrapped the prepared face scarf, remembered a dynasty that King Huai's father had mentioned when he was a child, and asked casually:
"How far is Wolf Ancient Mountain from the Western Falcon Dynasty?"
The fat man was about to answer, when a gust of wind and sand blew into his nostrils, and the fat man sneezed, and then said after putting on a scarf in embarrassment: "It's not far away, it's not close, it's almost on the border." ”
Four days later, the two skinny horses were already skinny and bones, and even a small meal could not stop their emaciation, and if it weren't for Daigo powder, it is believed that they would have died on the road in a bad environment.
On the fifth day, the climate suddenly became warm, and the bare mountains and desolate Gobi piled up a little greenery here.
This obviously violates Yunqing's common sense, shouldn't it be more desolate the further west you go? He breathed deeply, the moisture that spilled into his mouth and nostrils told him that it was all true.
The fat man's mood also seemed to become full of spring, and he threw off the reins in his hand and shouted:
"It's finally almost here!"
At noon, I came to an ancient town, and in a trance, Yunqing seemed to be in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful mountains, clear water, and fishing boats.
At that moment, it inexplicably overlapped with reality.
"Little Memory~"
The fat man screamed abruptly and pulled Yun Qing back here.
In the distance, a young girl dressed as a bearded man approached, her waist tied around a short animal skin skirt, her wheat-colored face as sharp and angular as a knife, and her eyes were so large that if you didn't look closely, you would have overlooked her sharp nose and small lips.
"Master~" The girl took the reins from Qi Xi's hand, and her cold voice made Yun Qing can't help but look at her more.
The fat man dismounted and asked, "Is the double-headed white-spine snake out of its hole?" ”
"Not yet, according to Senior Brother Jing Xiu, it's just these two days." As she spoke, the girl glanced at Yun Qing who came down from the horse.
The fat man exclaimed, "It's good to catch up." ”
Then he said: "This is your new junior brother, his name is Qingyun." ”
The girl politely bowed to Yunqing slightly: "Luo Xiaoyi." ”
After a very brief meeting, the three of them walked towards the town.
"Yesterday I received a book from the flying pigeon, and the brothers ordered me to go out of the mountain and wait for the master, and they guarded it."
The fat man wanted to tell the white spine not to be careless, but when he heard Luo Xiaoyi rush forward and say the arrangements here, he nodded reassuringly: "With you Senior Brother Jing Xiu staring, there shouldn't be anything wrong." ”
Walking through the ancient town, there were hardly a few figures in sight, and Yun Qing asked curiously, "Master Qi, where is the Wolf Ancient Mountain?" ”
The fat man said very simply: "Here it is!" ”
In my impression, all the desolate secret realms are all gloomy and precipitous places, and when I look at the eyes, there are neither craggy strange rocks, nor rushing to the sky, and I don't feel a trace of coldness.
Of course, Yunqing also found some strange places, such as the town is still very lively, but after passing through the town, there are no people, and for example, before entering the town, the fertile fields and farmlands are staggered, but what you see here are patches of woods and a single peak that suddenly rises on the flat ground.
Seeing that Yunqing was still a little dazed, the fat man explained: "Wolf Ancient Mountain does not refer to a mountain, but a piece here, the deepest place no one has ever been, according to legend, it is still the boundary of Wolf Ancient Mountain for more than a thousand miles, and after Wolf Ancient Mountain, it is the Xihu Dynasty." ”
The fat man seemed to feel that the explanation just now was too bland, and he didn't wait for Yun Qing to ask and continued: "This is the paradise of demon beasts, and there are no bones left that will be eaten if you are not careful!" ”
Thinking of the ancient town outside, Yunqing still didn't understand: "They won't come out of here?" ”
"Look back!" Luo Xiaoyi replied for the fat man, Yun Qing's ignorant appearance made her a little impatient.
