Chapter 7: Spiritual Root No. 8

Xiao Gou looked lonely.

After losing his credentials, he cut off all contact with the village and could no longer feel their breath. If it weren't for his own nose, he might not even be able to find You Ziji.

Only then did You Ziji realize that he and Xiao Gou were lost, and the original idea of returning to the village could not be realized at all. Moreover, the mountains and forests are full of demon king's eyeliner, and the probability of finding a way back is very high, so it is really unwise to go back.

If he left like this, looking at Xiao Gou's appearance, he might not agree with guilt, but it was useless to stay here.

You Ziji thought about it and said, "You said that my two seniors should be back with helpers soon." In this case, we have been heading south, first to Damian Lake, which is the only way to go, and far away from the Demon King's forces, it is difficult to bump into the Demon King's men. ”

"Go there and wait for someone, and then discuss together whether to go or stay."

Xiao Gou had long run out of ideas, so he had to listen to You Ziji's arrangement.

The water here is stable, so naturally there is no way to continue to borrow the river to travel, so you can only rely on your own feet.

Xiao Gou himself is the realm of foundation building, unlike a half-hung person like You Ziji. It is a physical body reshaped with golden eggs, and now the demonic power in the body is pure, and the foundation of the knot has been laid, and the rest is water grinding kung fu, and the strength is no worse than before the injury.

He didn't dare to run with all his strength along the way, always taking care of Youziji's speed and falling a few steps behind.

After following all the way, Xiao Gou was surprised that You Ziji's body style looked unreasonable and awkward, but the effect was still a little bit, although as long as he changed his footwork to a little normal, it would become faster.

I can't help but wonder who taught this method, the eldest uncle or the second uncle? Why was such a thing taught?

…………

The Damian Lake Market is a gathering place built around the entire lake, the last large gathering place leading to the northern barren forest, where shemales are mixed, and although outsiders are excluded, they are also well-behaved and do not act aggressively.

It used to be a gathering place for fugitives, and people with big crimes on their backs fled here.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, plus some unruly monsters, at that time, the lake was full of lawless maniacs, notorious.

At that time, Tianfu, who was in charge of the world instead of the gods, had limited energy and had no time to take care of it. The local strength is not enough, as long as it does not affect the peace of the nearby towns, it is probably a blind eye.

It was not until the world was in turmoil, the good and evil factions were fighting, and after the evil faction was exterminated, some forces fled here, and Tianfu was worried about the resurgence of the cult, so he freed up his hands to send troops to suppress the bandits. But after a while, a group of fanatics will gather.

At that time, some forces in the Central Plains lost because of fighting with each other, and in order to avoid pursuit, they gradually gathered here and survived.

For the sake of stability, they formed an alliance together, and reached an agreement with Tianfu to maintain order here.

Under the mediation of Tianfu, the grievances between the Central Plains sect and them were also written off.

After that, the security in the neighborhood gradually improved, and Lake Damian became a place for serious exile criminals.

There is only one official road to the south of Damian Lake, and there is a checkpoint set up there, in addition to checking the information of the people who come and go, the most important thing is to watch the monsters and criminals here to prevent them from smuggling.

At this time, on the official road, two fast horses roared past, stirring up a puff of dust.

There were two beautiful girls on horseback, each carrying a knife, one was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate figure, and there was a faint arrogance between Gu Pan. The youngest one is eleven or twelve years old, with bright eyes and shining brightness, giving people the feeling of a pool of clear water.

The road ahead was blocked by a checkpoint, and the two stopped their horses and negotiated with the guards here.

The guards were half-packed, and although they were well-dressed, they were tattered and covered with colorful patches, and they looked less like guards than beggars. When the leader saw that the two girls were good-looking, his heart rippled, and he teased, and a group of soldiers were also there to coax.

I saw that the older girl screamed, and whipped away the guards with a horsewhip, still unyielding, and beat them on the head and face, she has practiced since she was a child, and her skills are not bad, where are the guards here her opponents.

The leader was humiliated and threatened: "The two little ladies don't know how powerful we are, do you know the consequences of offending us, our boss will not let you go." ”

The older girl snorted coldly, "What, you guys are very powerful? I am the daughter of the master of the Flying Horse Hall Sword Hall. The so-called princes in the demon kingdom don't dare to annoy me, I want to see how you don't let me go. ”

After saying that, he whipped a few more horses, and his hands became heavier and heavier.

The guards were so frightened that they forgot to dodge and were whipped to the ground.

The girl drew the saber from her waist and placed it on the leader's neck, on which there was a carving of a fire phoenix, which was obviously not ordinary. The girl asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

The leader of the guards only felt that his neck was hot, as if he was burned by flames, and the pain was unbearable, but he did not dare to answer.

Feijun Hall is not small, it is one of the six major sects in the world, second only to Sanfu, it is difficult to be afraid that it is far away in Jiaozhou, and the Dao Hall is only one of the branches, and it is not a small Damian Lake Guard that dares to offend.

The little girl on the side was kind-hearted and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Senior Sister Tong, you have whipped a few lashes to get rid of your anger, and their foul language has already been punished, so let's let them go."

"You're soft-hearted." Senior Sister Tong took pity on her little junior sister, but finally let them go. said to the guards: "Today, my junior sister pleaded for you, and I will let you go, so don't hurry up and thank my junior sister!" ”

"Thank you, girl, don't care about the villain."

"Thank you, girl."

The guard knelt down and kowtowed while talking, but received no response, and when he looked up, the two beautiful girls had already left.

The two girls hurried day and night, and they were not in the mood to play when they entered the market, so they finished eating early and found an inn to rest.

These two people are none other than the eighth Linggen He Zhu and her senior sister Tong Qianhua.

He Zhu was awakened as early as nine months ago, her sword talent is good, all the way to the south to worship the Master, but the entire Longzhou is affected by the two major factions of Xuanming Dao and Luoyanmen, and the powerful masters are either practicing swords or good at hidden weapon poisons. There are very few masters with knives. I can't learn great skills, and I can't bring in the rescue soldiers to solve the crisis in the village.

It wasn't until I arrived in Jiaozhou that I learned that Tong Yan, the hall master of the Sword Hall, was the Knife Master. After some hard work, he was finally accepted as a disciple by the hall master.

When Tong Yan checked He Zhu's physique, he found out that she was a spiritual root, and he was overjoyed. Tong Yan knew some rumors about the spiritual root, and heard that the village was in trouble, so he thought that a monster who had not yet married Dan was just a monster, so he immediately sent his daughter out and accompanied He Zhu back to the village together.

Tong Qianhua is Tong Yan's daughter, the youngest among her mother's disciples, and now there is a little sister with a heart of orchid, and she is even more fond of it.

Because the strength of the two is not enough, they can only ride horses, for more than a month, starting from Jiaozhou to Damian Lake, Tong Qianhua cares about He Zhu very much, as if he treats his own sister.

And he is often a good teacher, teaching his little sister some experience in the rivers and lakes.

"Senior sister, I told you a long time ago, you can't be soft-hearted when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future." Tong Qianhua continued while packing up the futon: "Sometimes you have to show your strength, so that you can dominate. ”

"Hmm." He Zhu responded softly. The two little girls didn't put down their work as they spoke, one packing up the bedding and the other packing the package

Tong Qianhua gave an example, "Do you remember when you first started riding horses, you were kind at heart, and rarely whipped horses, but that beast became more and more untamable because of your connivance, and then you couldn't help it." If you don't maintain your own deterrence, some people will kick their noses in the face, and you will be the one who suffers at that time. ”

"Hmm." He Zhu's tone did not fluctuate.

Seeing this, Tong Qianhua felt that what she said was a little heavy, and said: "Senior sister doesn't have to shake her majesty, today is the two of us, if the girls from other families don't know how they will be humiliated." ”

He Zhu hummed softly.

"You little girl, as soon as you say that you don't like to listen, don't you like to talk to senior sister?" Tong Qianhua scolded He Zhu with a smile.

He Zhu packed the package, and then replied: "Senior sister, didn't you forget what the master said when she went out, the mountains and rivers here are far away, what if you meet a master." ”

"Hmph, what's going to be high here..... Okay, okay, I can't listen to my sister. Don't come over early to rest. ”

The two fell asleep together, whispered for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, I got up early and had breakfast, and when I went out, I saw some monsters carrying flat burdens and carrying goods out of the city.

These are all merchants in a hurry, they are all good family monsters in the vicinity, and the things they send are also near the left side of the damian lake, not far away.

In addition, there are some merchants who come and go with the mountains, and the time of purchase is uncertain, and most of them are also involved in robbing houses. The mountain road is rugged and dangerous, and some monsters never come out after entering the mountain, and the people here don't care.

He Zhu has been seven or eight months since he left the mountain, it was still a cold winter wax moon, and the mountains were covered with snow.

She was not sure that she could find a way back at this time, so she and Tong Qianhua asked someone to find a merchant who delivered goods to the north.

The merchant was a yellow-skinned dog, looking honest and honest, he didn't want to take people on the road, but seeing that the two girls were in a hurry, there must be something urgent.

And the little girl looks very quiet, plus the pay is very high, it finally agreed, but if it saw the fierce expression of the big girl, it would never dare to take the job no matter how much money it was given.

The yellow dog told the two that there was no path in the rugged mountains and they could not ride horses, so the two had to keep their horses in the inn and walk on the road with their packages on their backs.

…………

A few hours later, a teenager and a black dog came out of the mountain forest and came to the Damian Lake Market, just in time to miss He Zhu.

You Ziji took Xiao Gou and walked all the way, chatting while chatting, the people here were not surprised, because more than half of them were monsters who had not transformed into shapes, and those who were weaker couldn't even speak.

There are all kinds of items in the bazaar, but they don't look very exquisite, after all, it is a remote place, and the supplies are not enough, so how can you be in the mood to pursue exquisiteness.

The traders on the side of the road can see that the youth of Youziji must have just come out of the ravine, and they have never seen the market, and there is little oil and water.

In this way, the vendors with stalls did not greet this stunned green, but the scoundrels came over like flies.

"Little brother, are you visiting relatives or friends here?" A voice resounded in Youziji's ears.

"If I don't leave, I might as well be friends," You Ziji looked left and right, but didn't see anyone.

"That's to find a job and eat." The voice still sounds in my ears.

You Ziji lowered his head and finally saw the source of the sound. It was a bantam fox with miscellaneous hair, and when he stood up, he was worthy of Youziji's waist, and his linen clothes were neatly put on his body, very neat, and he looked nondescript, but compared with other monsters, his temperament has improved a lot, and he is not like a person who needs to work hard to make a living.

"When you come to Damian Lake, you only need to come up with a little money to find me, and I can help you solve any problem." The fox didn't wait for You Ziji to answer, and said, "You don't look like a person who pays the starting price, but for the sake of future business, I will reluctantly help you for free, and you will always take care of my business in the future." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his little paw and pulled You Ziji's trouser leg and walked towards a small alley.

You Ziji thought to himself, it just so happens that he doesn't know how to do it now, since it's free, let's go and see what it is.

After turning around in the alley, it finally came to an end.

You Ziji and Xiao Gou both have outstanding five senses, plus they have been attacked by fox merchants before, so they have an eye in their hearts, and as soon as they turn the corner of the alley, they feel several breaths ambushing beside them, and the secret way is not good.

turned around to leave, but the back road was blocked, and the shemales were mixed, and it seemed that there were more than two dozen shadows.

He ran with two heads bored, and if there was an obstacle in front of him, he forced his way through.

They are always cautious in the mountains and forests, worried about being found by the demon king, and when they meet the monsters, they all go out to try to solve the battle as soon as possible. If there are many people, in order to avoid being dragged down, they will rush forward and leave the battlefield as they are now.

At this time, both of them are building foundations, which is comparable to the gangsters here. Just rampage, and in a moment the gangsters were knocked on their backs, and a few who were far away had already run away with the furry fox when they saw this situation.
