Chapter 17: Panshui Town

"Backed by an oasis, with a lake in front, not afraid of wind and sand, a good place."

Wu Dao, who was walking in a tiger's step, greeted the remnant sun, felt the cool water vapor in the air, and took a look at Panshui Town with the afterglow.

The crescent island is huge.

Stacked with mountains and clouds, the deep forest is vast, stretching for more than a few miles, and Panshui Town, which is located in the foothills, is embraced by the clear and wide Crescent Lake.

Like an emerald in the vast yellow sand sea world, it has a bit of the artistic conception of paradise, and in the era of peace, it is enough to make people forget to return.

However, these are not peaceful times.

He's not here to enjoy the scenery.

Gollum~

The hunger in my belly burned like fire.

Seventy or eighty miles all the way to the limit, the energy in Wu Dao's body had already been squeezed out.

People are tired and hungry, and they are covered with dust.

At the moment, he just wants to find a place to eat, clean, and recuperate before exploring the treasure.

Hunger urges.

Wu Dao strode forward, and seeing that he was still at the end of the road, a few blinks of kung fu and a very oppressive figure arrived at the city gate.

Seeing two shivering bean sprouts guarding the door with wooden guns, he subconsciously frowned, thinking that he was going to interrogate his identity.

Unexpectedly, it was this simple frowning action, but Li San's legs were so frightened that he felt like he was being targeted by the bear in the old forest, and he almost knelt.

"Master, you have been tired all the way, and you have come here, uh, you are fortunate to have three lives, and you are full of glory...... You, please inside. ”

Li San shuddered, spit out the welcome words he had learned all his life, nodded his head, and seemed to lure the enemy into his home.

"Master, you must be tired and hungry, the Piaoxiang Building in the town, the accommodation service is first-class, I guarantee that you will feel at home, the heroes who have come recently live there, and the praise is overwhelming."

Zhao Si didn't fall behind, accompanied by a smiling face, and carefully guided Wu Dao, for fear that he wouldn't find it, and also explained the route to Piaoxianglou in detail.

Am I that scary?

Wu Dao was a little surprised by the two of them's two dogs, but Zhao Si's words later made his expression change.

Recently Arrived Heroes......

They all live there......

Everyone knows about the strange treasure?

Isn't it already a preemptive ride?

"Shut up! Tell me all the recent events in Panshui Town. ”

I was slightly unhappy.

Wu Dao vomited like thunder, and unceremoniously scolded the two who were still chattering and patting on the back.

"Yes, yes, the villain knows everything."

The two of them were frightened, and hurriedly explained what happened in Panshui Town recently, like elementary school students who were being reprimanded.

The Incident of Turning Bones in Sanyun Mountain...... Treasure hunters from all directions...... Tricks are wrestling in the town......

One pile at a time.

Everything is explained in detail.

Among them, the so-called "strange treasure" that Wu Dao is most concerned about has not yet been seen in Shenyun Mountain, let alone whether it is a living thing or a dead thing!

In the past few days, the people of the rivers and lakes have almost turned over Shenyun Mountain, but they have all worked in vain and gained nothing, and many people have thought that this is a rumor spread falsely, and they left with a scolding.

Samun Mountain?

Wu Dao glanced at the big mountain in the depths of the oasis, and secretly wrote it down, but he didn't have much doubt in his heart, and planned to go to Shenyun Mountain to investigate in person at night after resting and recuperating.

As for the possible monsters in the town......

To be honest, he wasn't very interested and didn't ask too much.

He had dealt with that thing in the Red Fire Mine, it was invisible, brute force was useless, he could only use mental strangulation, if he didn't take the initiative to get on him, he wouldn't be able to eat it at all.

After getting the information you wanted.

Wu Dao didn't stay at the city gate, carrying his burden, and entered Panshui Town with a relieved gaze from Li San.

It was dark.

The shadows in Panshui Town are faint, and the depths are no longer real, and the sound of water in the ears is murmuring, but it is a ditch drawn from the Crescent Lake.

Wu Dao strode all the way.

Along the way, the doors and windows of the long street are basically closed, and the residents you see are also in good spirits, with a sad face and a hurry, and the whole town is surrounded by an oppressive and dead atmosphere.

Come to think of it.

Not to mention the weirdness of the color change in Shenyun Mountain, just in Panshui Town today, the three religions and nine streams converge, and there are even tricks in the secret that take people's lives.

In this case.

Ordinary people, there are really few people who can calm down, and it is already a deep local feeling if they don't drag their families and run away.

The humility of ordinary people is about the same.

Whether it is faced with oppression, the threat of violence, or the fear of the unknown, there is no other way but to remain silent and resign yourself to fate.

It may be too clichΓ© to say that my life is up to me, but the way of self-improvement expounded in it will never go out of style, no matter what kind of world, only by mastering your own power can you master life. ’

Wu Dao retracted his gaze indifferently, no longer paying attention to the depressed and miserable scene around him, and the hunger in his stomach made him speed up his pace and rush towards Piaoxiang Building.

The joys and sorrows of the world, the love and hatred of good and evil, he has seen too many in the last 60 years, there are bystanders, there are personal experiences, but he has never been moved to stop.

It's just because he understood a truth very early on-

There is no eternity, everything is empty.

Things destined to be nothing, whether they are uneasy or happy, rebellious or despicable, are only a mirror after all.

If you are compassionate and empathetic, stop and be nostalgic, then in the face of the cruel laws of nature, the torrent of time will definitely be shattered.

Only by going against the current, constantly surpassing oneself until it is imperishable, is the true meaning of life survival!

Smell the aroma of wine and meat in the air.

After turning a few streets, I finally heard the hustle and bustle of people, and saw a bit of a lively scene.

Wu Dao looked up.

On both sides of the deep street, there are many inns and restaurants with banners, holding knives and swords, and the people in the rivers and lakes are sparse, in and out.

There are also small stalls and vendors scattered on the streets, shouting and shouting in the dusk and dusk, and most of the things sold are related to spiritual practice, but they don't know whether they are true or false.

Listen carefully.

You can also hear the jingling sound of the inn kitchen, Xiao Er's laughing and greetings, and the sound of bold wine and fists, intertwined echoes, and the dead silence and depression outside are completely two worlds.

A strong sense of disobedience and tearing.

Wu Dao was in a trance of time and space transformation for a while.

Looking at the vivid figures on the streets, I felt the fireworks of the otherworld.

His soul finally broke away from the ordinary cold steel jungle and gradually merged into this new world of weather and magnificence.

Freshness, curiosity, anticipation......

After three months of repression.

Like a blowout, I can't wait to look up to the sky and howl.

But Wu Dao's mind was so tenacious, he quickly adjusted his agitated mood, did not squint, and walked straight to the most lively Piaoxiang Building.

"Huo, what a mighty man, this is not from southern Xinjiang, right?"

"Look at that arm, obediently, thicker than my waist, how many children are there?"

"Be quiet, be careful that someone slaps you on the head and slaps you in the stomach."

"I guess it's another big hand who has been deceived by rumors, and this is a fart treasure."

Exclamations, jealousy, discussions......

Whispering along the way.

Wu Dao listened to it in his ears, did not smile, and regarded it as nothing.

He knew that his current savage face was too impressive, and he was destined to be the focus of attention wherever he went.

If he cares about gossip and shouts and kills at every turn, then unless he hides in the mountains and forests, he can be annoyed to death in one day.

Therefore.

Just ignore it as a deaf ear.

The entrance of the three-story Piaoxiang Building.

Xiao Si, who welcomed the guests, felt that it was dark, and when he looked up, he saw Wu Dao, who was like a wild bear and a giant beast, and his face was suddenly frightened.

"Master, you...... Is it sharpened...... Or do you want to stay in a hotel? ”

But the professionalism still made him shake his legs and forcibly squeeze out a smile to say hello.

"Eat, drink, live and sleep."

Wu Dao lightly spit out four words, and entered the bright Piaoxiang Building in the lobby under the guidance of Xiao Si's nod.

"A distinguished guest~"

The little guy shouted in the inner hall with a trembling reputation, and hurriedly retreated.

Tall shadows were cast into the hall under the setting sun, and the masculine male breath of the domineering masculine roared like a king of all beasts breaking into a pack of wild dogs.

The originally noisy and lively lobby suddenly quieted down, and both men and women were shocked and cast their eyes on Wu Dao.

After seeing the beast-like physique, his eyes trembled, his legs weakened, and he even tightened the sword on the table if he overreacted.

Wu Dao met Daodao's flickering frightened gaze, and glanced around generously, and found that there was no vacancy, and couldn't help frowning.

But then.

He saw a group of "acquaintances", and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

In the corner.

There are four rough men with wild appearances, bare chests and arms, scimitars hanging from their waists, and scarves wrapped around their heads, with a bit of exotic style.

The four of them kept their heads down and trembling after Wu Dao entered the Piaoxiang Building, looking like they were afraid of being discovered by him.

These four.

It was the four fish who escaped from the previous group of "sand bandits".

"That...... Hehe, little two, check out. ”

Maybe Wu Dao's gaze was too penetrating.

The four "sand bandits" finally couldn't stand it anymore, swallowed their saliva, laughed awkwardly, and quickly got up and vacated the table.

Hurriedly settled the account, almost as an escape, and quickly left the Piaoxiang Building.

The psychological shadow caused by Wu Dao to them is too great, and the stumps and broken arms that are full of tears and flying are cold to the bone when they think about it.

I thought I was away from the nightmare.

Unexpectedly, this evil god actually "chased" up, and at the first sight of meeting, they almost scared the urine out, and they just wanted to escape as far away as possible, without any idea of revenge at all.

Wu Dao glanced at the backs of the four "sand bandits" fleeing in terror, and did not stop them, nor did he have the idea of chasing them.

Ultimately.

These four are too weak.

into the eye, and he is not in the same food chain stall at all.

Powerful predators in nature never need to show their strength by the lives of the weak outside of the diet.

has nothing to do with interests, unless the four of them take the initiative to find death, it will not affect Wu Dao's emotions at all, and killing them will not have any sense of accomplishment at all except a waste of strength.

The speed of the junior second running hall is very fast.

The leftovers on the table quickly retreated.

Wipe the table clean and pour the tea.

Xiao Er presented the two-page menu and asked carefully: "Master, what do you want to eat, we don't dare to say anything else in Piaoxianglou, the fish and meat are definitely enough." ”

Wu Dao casually glanced at the thin two-page menu, and found that most of them were fish dishes, thinking that it should be the reason for facing the Crescent Lake.

Hunger burned in the belly.

He didn't have any interest in choosing, so he threw the menu and said, "I have a serving of meat and vegetables on it, and I don't need wine." ”

"Uh......"

Ran Tang was taken aback when he heard this, there are at least more than 20 kinds of meat on the menu, are you done?

But after thinking about it, he was relieved again, people who practice martial arts already have an amazing amount of food, not to mention Wu Dao's size.

"Master, wait a minute."

After refilling a cup of tea, Runtang hurriedly put away the menu and trotted to greet the back kitchen.

Take advantage of this serving space.

Wu Dao also formally looked at the diners in the lobby.

The Beastmaster's extreme physique, his perception has been greatly improved, and he can easily judge the strength from a person's spirit and spirit.

After looking around, he was slightly disappointed.

Because although most of the diners are powerful and energetic in appearance, they are estimated to be in the first stage of foundation cultivation.

A few with special temperaments do not exceed the inner strong realm.

But it makes sense to think about it.

In the final analysis, Guangqing Mansion is just a small place, poor and rich in martial arts, coupled with the constraints of congenital factors, cultivation has always been a luxury.

Most people, who have been extremely poor all their lives, have only been crawling around in the territory of Zhuji.

In this case.

The realm of divine power is enough to be called a party leader, and he is a little arrogant and reserved in his heart, and it is impossible to mix with this group of "mud legs" in the lobby.
