Chapter 76: The Trip to the Shampoo is in the middle of the heart
Shampoo Journey (2)
The morning sun is calling for the beginning of a new day.
Riying and Peng Xiu had breakfast at Manquisley in the lobby, and began today's itinerary with everyone's eagerness and anticipation. They walked very slowly, fearing that they would go too fast and that the people who wanted to keep up did not keep up.
The imperial capital is vast, with three sides being vast, and the terrain is flat and stable, with only one side of the mountain as a natural barrier. Between the eaves of the abbot, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, galloping and flying, the nearest ones are dozens of miles, and the far ones are hundreds of miles, competing for strange shows.
Shampoo is located in the hinterland of the mountains, the mountain road is rugged, the wind is not reached, the fog gradually falls in the morning and afternoon, it is not easy to explore the road, if it is not for the royal map, the record is detailed, and because it is located in the suburbs of the imperial capital, any place to settle will be found out clearly, so that they have a general direction.
But they only had a formal orientation, and they stood on the edge of the forest.
"Let's all come along. It's time to come out. Sunshadow said coldly.
But within three or five minutes, someone jumped out impatiently. Some people started and some followed, and then there were more and more people, and at last there were twenty or thirty people.
"Are they all robbers?" Peng Xiu and Sun Ying were a little puzzled by the number of people, even if there were frequent thieves here, it would not be possible for so many people to meet and rob the guests of an inn.
"We're not robbers, we're bounty hunters. One man came out disdainfully and defended their team, thinking that the bounty hunter might be nobler than the robber.
"Who bought our heads?" asked Nikkage.
"I can't tell you that. Fifty gold coins were offered to buy you a lesson. I can't get the two of you right today. In the future, remember not to offend anyone, and not to women. The bounty hunter saw that Peng Xiu and Sun Ying were extraordinary, and said quite politely.
The bounty hunter's statement made Peng Xiu and Sun Ying instantly understand who had troubled them.
"And which of you are the robbers?" Hearing this, Hikage did not respond to the bounty hunter, but asked something else. The still calm and indifferent questioning made the people present unhappy. Who the hell is robbing whom!
One of the reckless men said loudly. "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is going to rob you, and you still have to ask who is the robber. Lao Tzu is. I think we earned the fifty gold coins today. ”
Sun Ying and Peng Xiu tacitly glanced at each other and smiled. Sacrifice your weapon. Forward. Forward.
Sleeve knives, whips, in the slow pace like a light dance, in the quiet rhythm, complement each other, hearty. In less than a quarter of an hour, almost all of them were still in the end. Among the crowd was the man who called himself a robber, who was still standing.
"What do you want to do?" the leg trembled a little.
These two people are not at the same level as them at all, and they are treated like ants, easily and effortlessly. The two of them don't have to shop at all, but are waiting for them here. He asked, trembling.
"Isn't that a question we should ask you?" Sunshadow raised an eyebrow.
"We want to...... Leave me alone. It's because we have eyes and don't know Taishan, and we don't know that the two are great gods. We've seen you pay for gold coins for a while. Forgive us. ”
"Have you ever seen a pair of twins? One of them came first and went into the mountains. The latter one came and asked the previous one. Both are very burly and strong. Sunshadow didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and didn't say that he didn't forgive, but asked Miga directly.
"Yes, yes!" Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, the man said cooperatively. "The second one also arrived at the inn, and didn't stay, but just asked if any man like him had ever been here. ”
"What do you say? Peng Xiu asked.
"We told him no. Under Sunkage's cold gaze, he continued to explain. "We also watched him come to inquire, and we didn't tell him for fear of getting into some trouble. ”
"Which one did you rob first?" said Sunkage, who asked for the price, but was actually very sure.
"Yes. But it's pretty much the same as it is today. They were all fucked down. As a result, I don't know if it's my younger brother or my brother's question, and I learned that I was coming to fight, but I can't do it. ”
The sun shadow nodded, walked over to the ground where the mercenary was lying, and said to one of the people who was still awake.
"Go back and tell the two. Reimbursement of medical expenses. ”
The two turned around.
In a dense forest. The two tall figures were hurrying, crossing without words but with great tacit understanding, sticking to the attack, and there was no sound at the place where they landed, and the birds were not startled. Along the way, the fresh space of the forest gave a clear sight to the road ahead with many trees, but at this time, a burst of fog suddenly appeared in front of me. The lithe figure in front slowed slightly.
"Ahead is the realm of Chambo. Let's take it a little slower. Peng Xiu's magnetic voice, in a gentle tone, said to the Sun Shadow, who was slightly half a point behind.
Sunshadow nodded. The pace slowed down. The two of them set out early in the morning, whipped their horses quickly, and after abandoning their horses, they hurried all the way, which was extremely fast. It's really time to take a break and get ready to re-enter.
The fog floating in front of it seems to strongly highlight the mystery of the shampoo and make it different.
Before Sunshadow could say anything, there was a strange noise in the distance, ending the relaxed state of the two, and both of them looked solemn.
In fact, as soon as you step into the shampoo, the surroundings are incredibly quiet and quiet. The birds, beasts and insects in the forest chirp, and there was no sound of falling leaves in the wind, as if it was still. After all, it is a mysterious place, and it is not strange what kind of phenomenon it is, and the two of them are not surprised by this, but they walk slowly. But at this time, the sound that broke the silence was too strange, and it suddenly rose in all directions, squirming, and it was clear that something was surrounding them at high speed.
The two looked at each other for a word, and the tacit lightness jumped on the high branch of the big tree on the side, waiting for the attack. In a short time, they were under the trees, and they were rats that were marching in a hurry, and they were very large, and they had eaten all the way they went, leaving not a single grass behind, and they had obviously smelled the smell of the flesh and blood of the people wafting in the air, and they had gathered densely. Sunshadow looked down at a chill and was thinking about what to do. But something else caught his attention.
A small number of the rats marching in a hurry did not come in the direction of the Sunshadow, but continued to carry the weight they chose, carrying a mass of black wrappings in a neat step, resembling a human being.
Sunshadow raised her hand to signal to Peng Xiu, apparently Peng Xiu had also noticed that there was also that.
"Not alive. The sleeve part of the gang is exposed with a little bit of white, which seems to be white bone. Sunshadow judged.
Peng Xiu nodded and said. "They should eat everything, but the bones should have no value to eat. Besides, the two of us should be better than the bones. ”
"They're fed?" If not, how can it go against biological instinct. Sunshadow frowned imperceptibly, he really didn't have a good feeling about raising such a creature.
"It's possible. Let's take a look?" asked Peng Xiu.
After all, there are no wonders in the world, and there are people who raise spiritual beasts like Fenrir, and there are people who can manipulate dark and damp creatures in the gutter.
Sunshadow nodded. The two of them had an extremely tacit understanding, marching back and forth, at an appropriate speed, slaughtering only an inch of space at their feet, and then taking over to move forward, maintaining the minimum loss and the minimum range of movement. Although the number of rats is extremely large and swarming, they can also follow the other group of rats that are carrying weights in a rhythmic manner.
Marching towards a pillar of incense, the rat, which had been attacking frequently, suddenly stopped, moved closer to the direction of the corpse, and quickly rushed in one direction. The two glanced at each other and quickly followed. After passing through a dense meadow, the group of rats quickly disappeared.
"Mouse hole?" Peng Xiu raised his eyebrows. A little helpless, the two of them were able to disappear under their noses by following them like this, and there was only one possibility, that is, the rat hole was in this maze of forest and grass. But the two of them are tall and big, how to drill.
"How did that pile of bones get in?" Even though the rats were terrifyingly large, they were smaller than the white bones that might have flesh and blood.
Fortunately, the place where he fell was just some debris of dust, and he changed his posture in time before falling, and landed on one knee, and his voice was light and undetectable, just dusty everywhere.
It's dark all around, only there is a glimmer of light in the place where it fell, looking up, it is a small hole with vine roots and grass clippings coiled and covered, it should be a mouse in the vicinity of the activity and hollowing, and there is space underground, in a weak place, there is rarely anything to pass on on weekdays, it is nothing, but the sun shadow is stepping on it, the strength can not bear it, and a small hole collapses, and the sun shadow is thin and the physique just falls down. Due to the high distance, the smaller hole is narrow.
Did he fall from such a small hole?Sunshadow couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, he really came in through the rat hole.
"Little Shadow ......" faintly continued to shout, with eagerness and anxiety. It was Peng Xiu's voice fading away, as if he was preparing to pursue it.
"Hugh!" called out the Sunshadow. A long echo instantly sounded in the cave, and behind the corridor of the black hole in front of it, there seemed to be a larger and farther space.
"Xiaoying?" Peng Xiu shouted suspiciously, leaning down the cave entrance. He was ready to walk away, but he was keenly aware of the subtle noise here. He pushed away the grass that remained at the entrance of the cave, trying to expand the hole, and he could vaguely see the figure below.
"How did you fall into such a small hole?" Peng Xiu patted the dust down, "It turns out that you are also a mouse." Seeing that the person in front of him was safe and sound, a hanging heart finally let go, and he couldn't help but tease.
"Hitting the heart is also luck. Sun Shadow tilted his head and pointed to the front of the black hole, "Isn't this humane." ”
"Are you quite proud?" Facing the rare smugness of Sun Shadow, Peng Xiu smiled and touched his head dotingly.
"Forward, or backward?" asked Sunshadow, patting the claws off his head.
"Although I just chased the rats a little off the course, the general direction still seems to be towards Champo, and looking at the trend of this hole, it seems to be in the direction of Chambo, let's move forward. Peng Xiu analyzed.
At this time, the shadow of the sun had already flown out several meters, and it was moving quickly while observing the porch.
"Hey, Xiaoying, you didn't really want to listen to me, did you?
Peng Xiu hurriedly followed, and the faint light of the fire fold was between the two, as if to dispel the devouring of stepping into the darkness, and tenaciously exuding warmth.
