Chapter 44: The Devil's Appearance
There were fifty or sixty people in the caravan, which was not a lot of people, but it was still a little crowded to walk together in the snowy rugged mountain roads. Under the shouting of the black man Luo Laoqi, the caravan gradually formed a queue, scattered on the mountain road with a length of hundreds of steps.
Chi Tang and Xue Yang Xu fell at the bottom of the queue, to be precise, they did not belong to this queue, because they did not pay the nurse and were not considered a member of the caravan protected by the nurse. And after Luo Laoqi looked back from afar, he only glared at it and muttered a few words in his mouth. As soon as he turned his head, he smiled and teased the young woman to speak
While walking all the way, Chi Tang kept looking at everyone in this queue, and his spiritual power was slowly running around his body, but there was no demonic reaction at all.
"Could it be that the demons are not in this team?" After all, it was the first time to use Qi Detection Magic, and Chi Tang still seemed a little unconfident.
Xue Yang was obviously much more experienced, and shook his head very firmly: "The plan is good, that demon must be in this team, what did he do with his demon power when he was about to leave, and I noticed it, if I remember correctly, the demon should be in the direction of approaching the big black man." ”
Chi Tang almost immediately cast his eyes on the father and daughter behind Luo Laoqi.
"Could it be really them?" Chi Tang couldn't help but hesitate, "Although this man and woman are a little strange, but I didn't notice that they had demonic energy, the most important thing, I saw that the demon was dressed in black, but they were not wearing black clothes." ”
Xue Yang's eyes looked at the middle of the team: "It's not about them, I'm talking about it, before setting off, close to the direction of the big black man, and now in this journey, the direction has already changed." ”
Chi Tang followed Xue Yang's eyes and looked over, but within the scope of his eyes, there were three people dressed as ordinary merchants, one was urging the broken cart pulled by the donkey, and the mouth let out a "chirp" shout; one lowered his head and put his hand into the package, muttering as he walked, as if he was counting something; the other looked around, with a weather-beaten complexion, and turned back from time to time to talk to the traveler behind him.
These three people are all dressed in black, but in Chi Tang's opinion, they still can't match, and what they see in the qi is that it is a neat back in black clothes, but these three people, not to mention the wrinkles of the black clothes in the first, are still driving a donkey cart; the second is hanging two packages diagonally, which looks bulging; the third is not so cumbersome, but the black clothes on the body are tattered, and there are patches in several places.
Xue Yang didn't care about Chi Tang's puzzled expression, and said to himself: "The direction of the demonic aura before setting off is where these people are, just keep an eye on them." ”
Xu Meng was silent, listening to the conversation between the two people, if it weren't for the fact that Chi Tang was a friend he had always respected, he would almost have directly reprimanded this kind of pretending to be a ghost, but now, he could only follow the two of them suspiciously, and made up his mind, unless he really saw the demon they said, otherwise, he would never accept the fact that his cousin Zhang Yan was killed by the demon.
In this way, I walked in the mountain road for several hours, it seems that Luo Laoqi is a qualified business nurse, and there is no strong man and thief who has come to disturb him for a long time, in the early spring, it is still dark early, although it is only the time of the unitary card, the sky has darkened.
"Right in front of us is the col, and the men make a fire and make food, and then they will rest there for the night, and then they will go again tomorrow morning. Just rest assured, the mountain col there is just right to block the mountain wind, and you won't feel cold when you wrap yourself in a futon at night!" Luo Laoqi's words with a thick accent came again, and he was quite careful and explained in detail.
The caravan drove the donkeys and horses in the team and went to rest in the direction pointed out by Luo Laoqi. ...,
Chi Tang was bent on finding the traces of demons, so he naturally followed the caravan straight to the mountain pass, and when he arrived at the mountain pass, Luo Lao had seven hands and coldly blocked the caravan.
"I'm sorry, three, this is the resting place for our caravan of protectors, you are not in this team, you can't rest here. ”
Xu Meng was not angry in his heart, and when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and stepped forward: "What's the matter? This is your family's house, we want to rest, can you take care of it?"
Luo Laoqi laughed strangely: "Do you understand the rules? You can only enter the place arranged by the nurse after paying the money, and the mountains are so big, I don't care where you rest, but if you rest here, it just won't work!"
Xu Meng snorted coldly, he is a child of the family, how can he stand the robbery of a village and wild man like Luo Laoqi? At that moment, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the rhino sword, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! What if I want to rest here?"
Luo Laoqi spat out a mouthful of saliva, and his hand was also held on the hilt of the knife on his waist: "What's the matter? Playing hard? Lao Tzu can tell you, the three of you are on the same page, and Lao Tzu is not afraid!"
Chi Tang hurriedly pulled Xu Meng: "Brother Xu, don't be angry." The nurse does have this rule, and we will stay in front of it, and we will not fight about this trivial matter. ”
A few merchants in the col also persuaded: "A few strong men, this is the rule of the merchants, you pay the money and rest inside, you don't pay the money, why do you have to squeeze with us?" The implication is obvious, we have paid the money, and we can use this windproof col as a matter of course, and since you have not paid the money, don't come to fight for this place.
Xu Meng glared at Luo Laoqi angrily, Luo Laoqi glared back without giving an inch, but Chi Tang finally dragged Xu Meng away.
"A few of you, Lao Tzu didn't say anything in front, this caravan protected by Lao Tzu, you didn't give money but still followed the team, didn't you let Lao Tzu protect your road in vain?" Luo Laoqi's tone was extremely distinct, and he usually called himself me, but when he scolded people, he called himself Lao Tzu.
"Why do I want you to protect me?" Xu Meng dropped.
"! Lao Tzu doesn't talk nonsense with you, you find a place to sleep at night, and go on your own road tomorrow, don't follow Lao Tzu's team, go your own way, go your own way!
Xu Meng wanted to say something more, but he was half-dragged away by Chi Tang, and Xue Yang walked to the mouth of the mountain and looked in.
"What are you doing? Why don't you leave?" Luo Laoqi crossed his waist and said to Xue Yang with a dumbfounded.
Xue Yang withdrew his looking eyes, glanced at Luo Laoqi, and then bowed respectfully: "I'm sorry." ”
Luo Laoqi was stunned, and Xue Yang bowed again: "Xie Lu Xie." ”
Before Luo Laoqi could speak, Xue Yang waved his hand again: "See you again." ”
※※※
The three of them did not light a fire, but leaned on the dry trunk of the tree to rest for a while, Xu Meng was silent, as if thinking about something, Chi Tang looked at the mountain col in the distance, where the fire had gradually dimmed, and the voices gradually thinned out, thinking that it was time to rest, only Xue Yang took out the dough cake from the wine shop at noon from his arms, and started a new round of chewing and swallowing.
"You guys?" Xue Yang said with a bulging mouth and a vague voice, and sent the dough cake to the two of them.
Xu Meng didn't react, Chi Tang waved his hand: "Don't be hungry, you eat." ”
Xue Yang took back the dough cake and muttered: "Such an unpalatable cake is still sold so expensive, this mountain wine shop is really black-hearted." ”
"Brother Chi......" Xu Meng finally spoke to Chi Tang. “...... The younger brother still can't believe it, after walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, he has never seen anything strange? But this demon is the first time he has heard of it, and they ...... What are they like?"
Chi Tang was about to answer, but Xue Yang had already interjected: "Don't worry, in a while, when that dark cloud covers the moon, I can take you to meet the demon." "Xue Yang is quite familiar with the habits of demons, so he is also very accurate about the timing of demons' appearance. ...,
The three of them raised their heads together, and the half-round light moon hung obliquely in the sky, emitting a dim and miserable dark light, and a dark cloud slowly swam towards the light moon.
"Rest for a while, don't talk too much, lest the demons hear the movement. Xue Yang stretched out his finger and put it on his lips.
Chi Tang and Xu Meng leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed their eyes, Xu Meng's chest fell together, his breathing was a little short, obviously he had something else on his mind, and Chi Tang took the opportunity to hold his breath and calm down, letting the spiritual power wander around with his thoughts.
"That's right. "Although the sky is like ink, there is still a darker demonic aura emerging in the col, and the demon is indeed in the caravan, and is hiding among the people in the resting col, during this time it is already ready to move, and the demonic aura has already radiated.
The dark clouds wandered away, just covering half of the light moon, and it was suddenly dark between heaven and earth.
Xue Yang stood up vigorously, patted Chi Tang and Xu Meng, and said in a slight tone: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
※※※
After dinner, everyone had rested, Luo Laoqi deliberately slept next to the young woman, hehe smiled and wanted to say a few words, the woman turned over and turned her back to Luo Laoqi.
Luo Laoqi's eyes unscrupulously admired the outline of the woman's back, his mind was flying, and he had already sketched a scene of clouds and rain and beautiful scenery in his heart, thinking of the fierce place, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his swollen lower body, drooling, and then ...... Fell asleep.
There was a snoring in the col, and even the woman could hear the sound of snorting from deep sleep. In particular, Luo Laoqi's snoring sound is the most peculiar, sometimes like a thunderbolt, the sound shocks the four wilds, sometimes like a dragon moaning, winding and heavy.
Against the backdrop of this snoring, a low and strange whine of black wind swirled and rose, and in an instant it filled the entire mountain col.
The black wind swept up, and the fire that was still burning was extinguished, just when the dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the four hands were out of sight.
Then, the snoring in the col seemed to be cut off, and there was no sound again, and there was a dead silence.
Only a figure glowed dimly white, got up from the ground, turned its head to look around, and let out a low chuckle from its mouth.
"Settle down, my lord. A strange voice came out, and in the dark white light, it could be seen that the direction of the voice was the donkey cart.
The light on the smiling figure suddenly flourished, and the figure skyrocketed, and a few faint rays of fire appeared around, and the skyrocketing figure finally turned into a thin and tall man.
There was also a white light from the donkey cart, and the donkey pulling the cart suddenly rolled on the ground, and when it got up again, it had turned into a thin figure with long ears.
"Very good, it's not in vain that I tracked it for a few days, and now I have food, and I have women. The tall and thin man turned around, dressed in an extremely long black robe, with a thin physique, but his lower body was bulging, and he looked extremely strange.
The thin humanoid face was still the face of a donkey, and he leaned over to the tall and thin man: "The little one still doesn't understand, if you want to eat people, why can't you take a few people to eat?" Even if the king wants to get close to women, he can still make the wind on the road and take people here, why bother to do so much, change the human form, follow for so long, and only start here when he arrives?"
The tall and thin man gave a white donkey face: "What do you know? In the past, the women I saw along the way were all contemptuous and ugly, even if they ate the flesh and bast were thick, in this troubled season, how could there be a beautiful woman who traveled far away in a deserted place? This woman is different, her skin is delicate, her posture is sultry, but she is a superb, since I have seen it, I can't let it go, find a suitable opportunity to take her down." ”
The slender man pointed out of thin air, and the young woman who was sleeping on her side straightened up as if she was being lifted, her clothes automatically fell off, and the silk handkerchief that she had collected fell to the ground. ...,
"A few days ago, this woman has been in a crowded place in the market, so it's hard to start, can't she act while this night is in the dark wilderness?" the tall and thin man's tone was very excited, "Besides, I have to capture so many people, and the mountain monarch can also explain it, wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?"
The tall and thin man stretched out his hand, and the young woman moved lightly out of thin air, floating straight to the tall and thin man, and when he saw that it was approaching, the tall and thin man couldn't wait to hold the young woman in his arms, and the fluffy hand touched the young woman's body, and the bulging place of the lower body trembled slightly.
"Beautiful, really beautiful!" the tall and thin man blurted out, overjoyed.
"King, what should you do with these people?" the donkey's face was a little puzzled, and he was still asking when the tall and thin man was lustful.
The tall and thin man was a little dissatisfied, and said angrily: "What is there to ask, first scavenge all the wealth and silk, as for the people, find a few strong ones to bring back to the cave to enjoy yourself, and send the extra to the mountain monarch together, just say that the food provided by the king of the mountain is not enough?"
The donkey face smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the king should go back to the cave first, and the small one will be cleaned up here." ”
The tall and thin man snorted, hugged the young woman tightly, and the black robe was unfurled, and the black wind wrapped his body, turning into a white light, and flew up from the ground.
Donkey Face was still muttering to himself, "Find a few sturdy ones." Seeing Luo Laoqi sleeping soundly, he immediately clapped his hands: "This is the most strong, the meat is the most bitten, he must stay." Just as he was about to find the next one, he suddenly looked at the air with a sense of feeling, and let out a surprised voice: "Huh?"
The white light turned into a tall thin man was still in mid-air, and a green light suddenly hit the moon like a meteor, hitting it head-on, and the white light was hit by the green light, falling down from the ground, and falling into the mountain col.
Donkey's face exclaimed, "King." "Hurry up and get ahead.
The white light dissipated, revealing the figure of a tall and thin man, the young woman lay on the side softly, and the tall and thin man climbed back a few steps in fright, and his voice changed a little: "Yes...... Who is it?"
Three figures appeared at the mouth of the mountain pass, and one on the left was holding a rusty sword in his hand, and a cyan light appeared on the rusty sword, reflecting the man's indifferent expression:
"Hello, first time meeting, slaying demons in Xia Qian's house, Xue Yang. ”
