Chapter 30: The Journey
Zong Xitan selected a healthy horse from the stable, and just got the order of the son, to give the sword and the scabbard to Chitang Chi Daxia. Zong Xitan recalled the scene of Chi Tang showing his might yesterday, and couldn't help but sigh very much, he had practiced marksmanship since he was a child, and he could be regarded as a good martial artist, but compared with Chi Tang, it seemed far away.
Zong Xitan stroked the left arm that was injured yesterday, but fortunately, the scimitar did not penetrate deep into the flesh and did not hurt the muscles and bones. This Hu man's sword technique is really powerful, and he is inferior to him, but such a fierce and brave Hu thief has not even made a move in front of Chi Daxia. Not to mention the negative swordsman Chi Tang, who is the disciple of those two Jing Chu Qian's family, how can he not have unique skills, far above himself? In the world's martial arts, there are many masters, such as Chi Daxia and the disciples of the Qianjia family, they should be first-class martial arts attainments, but how good can their pistol skills be?
Zong Xitan thought about things in his mind, led the horse and walked away, seeing that he was about to step out of the village, he was ready to get on the horse and gallop once he got out of the village, he had asked to understand, Chi Daxia and the others were going to the northeast, although they walked for more than two or three hours, but there was only one thoroughfare in the northeast, and they had no foot strength, and they expected that the horse would gallop away, and they could catch up within an hour.
"Mr. Zong, stay. A crisp female voice suddenly sounded.
Zong Xitan came back to his senses from his thoughts, followed the prestige, and saw a woman standing in the local area of Zhuangmen, and carefully identified that it was the third lady Dong Yao. Looking at Dong Yao's outfit again, it is clearly dressed as a strong outfit, it seems to be walking in the rivers and lakes, but this strong outfit is woven with precious Shu brocade, and a smell of incense wafts all over his body, which inevitably looks nondescript.
Zong Xitan hurriedly saluted: "Miss, how are you here?"
Dong Yao's face was still a little uncertain, but at this moment, he couldn't bear it and didn't let Zong Xitan see it, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Mr. Zong is going to send the sword for that Chi Daxia?" I told my brother, if Mr. Zong doesn't go, I'll send it, yesterday there was a change in the village, I was so angry that I happened to go out and ride a horse to relax. ”
Zong Xitan was still a little puzzled: "Miss, although the thieves go, I am afraid that there are still dangers outside the village, if Miss wants to go, Zong will follow him all the way to protect him." ”
Dong Yao's face was cold: "No need! My brother wants me to bring you a message, you go to Zhaoyingtang to take care of the funeral affairs of the martyred doorman, and then go to see him when you are done." This is Dong Yao's strategy, she was hiding from her mother and brother when she went out of the village this time, lest Zong Xitan immediately report the matter to her brother, and she couldn't get out, so she deliberately looked for something to break him away, thinking that if he took care of those things, it would take an hour or two later, and by then he would have already caught up with those masters.
Zong Xitan hesitated: "This ...... Miss ......"
Dong Yao didn't say much, stepped forward to take the reins of the horse from Zong Xitan's hand, and took the sword in his hand, took a look at it, and felt sour in her heart, she clearly recognized this sword, wasn't it the sword of her former lover Bai Shang? This was also Bai Shang's birthday, and he personally gave it to him. Now it is my brother who is going to transfer this sword to Nachi Daxia, hmph, Bai Shang is unkind, how can he use the sword given by Miss Ben? Dong Yao thought angrily, his original deep affection for Bai Shang had turned into deep hatred. She was already good at martial arts, and her riding skills were also quite good, so she turned over and got on the horse, and with a whoop, the healthy horse opened its hooves and galloped away.
"For what kind of little child can be accepted as a disciple by that Chi Daxia, I pleaded so much but was not allowed, Miss Ben is so unbearable?" Dong Yao galloped on a horse, her heart was full of dissatisfaction, since she heard her brother talk about it to her mother at noon, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, after the meal, she only said to go to sleep, and the maids who accompanied her in the boudoir were all drugged, and left a book on the table, she made up her mind, she must let the Chi hero accept herself as a disciple and practice that strong swordsmanship.
A cloud of purple qi floated faintly on the side of the official road, quietly following Dong Yao's footprints, and the originally sunny sky was gradually covered with dark clouds, and the sky soon became overcast.

Chi Tang took Bao'er and Ji Rui and Xue Yang as soon as they walked out of the village not far away, when they saw Wushi holding a large piece of dried meat in his mouth and wagging his tail waiting on the side of the road.
"Rhubarb. Bao'er's eyes lit up when she saw Wu'er, and she stepped forward to touch the top of Wushi's head, and Wu'er circled around Bao'er, with infinite joy, but she refused to put down the piece of dried meat in her mouth. ...,
"This guy is good, he has such a big piece of meat, he even has our rations. Ji Rui said with a deliberate grin.
As soon as Wushi heard this, he put down the dried meat and shouted angrily: "Mother's skin, this piece of meat is mine, I took it from the kitchen!"
At this time, there was no one else on the road, but Chi Tang and Ji Rui Xue Yang were all shocked, Bao'er was still here, wouldn't this foodless talk make Bao'er hear it? The three of them couldn't help but look at Bao'er.
Bao'er still smiled and touched Wushi, but she didn't think that Wufeng could talk at all.
"Bao'er, do you know that this dog can talk?" Chi Tang hurriedly asked.
The small dimple on the side of Bao'er's mouth became deeper: "I know that I have heard Rhubarb talk to me a long time ago, and he has told me a lot, but only to me." ”
Chi Tang's surprise was not trivial, Bao'er was only an eight or nine-year-old child, and when she saw a talking dog, she was still so calm: "You...... Don't you think it's scary, don't you think it's weird?"
Wushi spoke up on the side: "You guys are too underestimating the young master of our family, he is not an ordinary child." ”
Bao'er turned her head to look at Chi Tang, still smiling innocently: "I know a lot of things, I know that he is not an ordinary dog, I am not an ordinary child, and you are not an ordinary person." ”
Chi Tang looked at Bao'er's smile, but felt that the expression shown by this smile had an indescribable meaning, this expression may be wise, or it may be a little deep, in short, this expression should not appear on the face of an eight or nine-year-old boy with hanging hair.
"Rhubarb told me about my daddy. Bao'er spoke very differently at this time, "Thank you Uncle Zhang, and thank you for these two uncles, I want to learn from you, protect my father, and avenge my father." ”
"Do you know all about it?" asked Ji Rui, who seemed not surprised by such a scene.
Bao'er walked in front of the three of them, and suddenly bowed down to the three of them: "Yao Bao'er really wants to worship the three uncles as teachers, and wants to attack my father's ambition and get rid of those demons and monsters." ”
Ji Rui waved his hand: "You get up, you haven't decided who your master is, come with us to the Qianjia Academy." ”
Wushi stuck out his tongue and said angrily: "The young master of our family has long understood the reason, how about the mother's skin? I can do it, so there will be a lot of twists and turns!"
Chi Tang quickly recovered from the shock, and at this moment, he heard Wushi's words mixed with dirty words, and suddenly said angrily: "Wushi! I don't care if you can do it or not, if you want to swear in front of Bao'er again, I'll soak you in cold water for a day!"
Wushi was stunned, whined a few times, and shrank his head.
Bao'er smiled and said: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I know what he said is swearing, I don't want to learn it, my father often swears, I can tell it, it's okay." ”
"Your father?" Chi Tang thought for a while, and then understood that Bao'er was talking about his adoptive father Yao San. Seeing Bao'er suddenly become so old, he was really a little unaccustomed to it. suddenly remembered something, and said to Bao'er: "Bao'er, my surname is not Zhang, my surname is Chi, don't call me Uncle Zhang in the future." ”
Bao'er nodded: "Well, Zhilu Dao, Uncle Chi." "The face is full of innocent and lovely feelings.
"Okay, Brother Chi is for the good of the child, but this child is very sensible, I think it's okay. Ji Rui said, "But there is no food, you should also pay attention in the future, one is to try to say less swearing, and the other is not to talk in front of people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
The foodless thief smiled sheepishly: "Then let me not speak, or do I swear less?"
Xue Yang, who had been silent, gently kicked Wushi's buttocks, and deliberately said viciously: "If you pretend to be confused, I will rob you of this piece of meat in your mouth!"
This time, there was no food weakness in the middle, and no food was busy biting the dried meat, and he didn't speak anymore.
"Let's go, where are we going? A few people gossiped and were about to leave, but Chi Tang didn't know the direction and asked the two of them.
"Let's not go back to my Qianjia Courtyard first, we still have one more matter, we have to go to Luoxia Mountain Zihan Courtyard, well, it's the Qiwu Villa that Brother Chi said. I also happened to see other people on the Demon Path. Ji Rui said, four people and a dog took steps, along the official road, to the northeast.
Chi Tang remembered what they had said about Zihan Yuan's request for help before, and nodded.
"Of course, you have to be prepared on the way, and you have to fight with the demon who came to chase Brother Chi, if the power of the demon is really coming to Brother Chi. Xue Yang added. ...,
Chi Tang's heart was shocked, could it be that he still couldn't hide after all? He asked, "Didn't you say that when the Fly Mountain Demon came to this realm, it would be blocked by the Demon of the Flying Water?"
Ji Rui smiled: "First, it's not sure that the power of the new demon spirit on Dong Zhuang is the Fly Mountain monster that came to chase you, and second, according to Wushi, this demon power is the body of Xiu Mu Feng Dao, without the bloody demonic aura of the demon, it is generally difficult to be detected by the water monster, besides, maybe there are no demons in this area?"
Chi Tang sighed: "Chi Mou originally planned to be incognito, so he found a place to live this life, and then he didn't get involved in the affairs of gods, demons and monsters, how did he know that he sneaked into this place of Dongzhuang, after all, he still couldn't escape, not only did he know a few of you demon slayers, but also ...... And also...... Alas!" Chi Tang didn't say it explicitly in the latter words, but the meaning was very clear, and there was also the body of the Qishan thief who covered the wings of the demon, the demon dog who could only talk, and even Bao'er, the son of the demon fairy.
"It's not surprising. Ji Rui said with a smile, "I once said that Brother Chi has to get rid of demons, and he has the power of the Fly Mountain Soul Devouring Demon, which is like a magnet, in other words, there is a demonic aura that attracts Brother Chi." Brother Chi thought that he had found Dong Zhuang incognito at random, but in fact, Dong Zhuang had a hidden demonic spirit to attract Brother Chi to come, but Brother Chi himself didn't realize it, and he couldn't hide it. ”
When Chi Tang heard this, he suddenly felt suddenly, but it turned out to be this reason, no wonder there are so many monsters in his place now, it is not a pure coincidence, but the demonic self and the demonic Dong Zhuang are corresponding, and naturally have an encounter.
Bao'er was relieved: "Uncle Chi doesn't have to worry, you have such a powerful ability, what can you be afraid of?"
Chi Tang smiled bitterly, and the love affair of meeting a demon on a moonlit night appeared in his mind again, and it seemed that Chen Song was fighting hard with Bichen Gong and Zhenshan Jun in front of him, as well as the head of the giant sword Zhang Yan's flesh and blood, manpower and demon power, how much different from each other. Do you really have the power of that fire crow Qianjun?
The group walked for a long time, turned from the official road to the mountain and forest paths, the sky was getting dark, it was past sunset, they were a little tired, Ji Rui scratched his head: "I didn't think about it, I knew that Lu Dao asked Dong Gongzi how many fast horses, and it saved the trip too slowly." ”
"Just rest here, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Xue Yang said.
Bao'er was like a person who didn't have anything to do, and she was not tired at all, which surprised everyone, Ji Ruiqi said: "Those of us who have practiced martial arts are quite tired after walking down this long road, why are you still so energetic Bao'er?"
Bao'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just don't think it's okay to walk these roads." ”
Ji Rui thought sideways for a while, then suddenly nodded and said, "Understood." Okay, let's make a fire, eat something, and rest here for the night, it's cold at night, cover more, and the three of us take turns to be on duty all night. ”
Xue Yang turned around and went to make a fire, Chi Tang still didn't understand, and asked Ji Rui quietly: "What do you understand?"
Ji Rui chuckled softly, "Have you forgotten whose son Bao'er is?"
"Isn't it Nian Shengzi?"
"What is the essence of Nian Shengzi?"
Chi Tang was stunned and said: "You say that the elk is a spirit, isn't the elk just four different? What does this have to do with Bao'er walking without feeling tired?"
"Elk are most accustomed to running, and Bao'er has inherited this characteristic of his father, so what is it to walk this way. Ji Rui explained.
Chi Tang then understood, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Wushi shouting: "Mother's skin is not good, there is a demonic spirit coming!"
