Chapter 90: Back to the Town
It wasn't until he was thousands of miles away from the ruined ancient land that he remembered that he was still in the seventh-layer demon tower, and this illusion enchantment was too vast and weird, and he even suspected that he had already walked out of the demon tower and returned to the Razor region.
Along the way, he slept and slept cautiously, until three days later, when he found a small town in front of him, which was lit up and full of people, and then he was sure that he had indeed inexplicably returned to the outside world.
What's even more surprising is that this small town Wu Wei is extremely familiar with, it is the Shimen town that separated from Lin Chen half a year ago.
He stood in front of a high gate like a stone fang, and there was a dilapidated stone tablet more than one zhang high below, on which three vigorous and simple ancient characters 'Shimen Town' were engraved.
Behind him are two branching ancient post roads, one leading to the wilderness to the northeast, and the other to the mysterious source of the river to the northwest.
Wu Wei stood at the entrance of the barren and miserable post road, and sighed in his heart, he stepped on this so-called 'dead road' to enter the demon prison that day, and after thousands of difficulties, he died five times and nine times, and saw a lot of unbelievable ancient anecdotes, of course, he also gained a lot.
Wu Wei walked into the restaurant station, it was the evening evening, there were few pedestrians coming and going, the empty post station was the same as half a year ago, a dilapidated thatched house, five old tables and stools full of greasy, the old man of the restaurant was still busy in the thatched house.
"Restaurant, make a pot of sake..."Wu Youwu found a table and sat down, and shouted towards the hut.
"Come on!" After a while, the old man of the restaurant walked out unkempt, greasy, and holding a pot of sake, and walked straight back to the house without looking at Wu Wei from beginning to end.
Wu Wei glanced at the old man's rickety back, poured himself a glass of sake, put it on the table, but did not drink it, he remembered that Lin Chen had said that this old man was not simple, and he suddenly had a strange thought, so he shouted again: "Restaurant, cut another plate of cooked beef!"
"Come on!" the response was still a simple two words, and there was no emotion in the tone.
It didn't take long for the old man of the restaurant to drag his rickety body and walk over slowly, his steps were vain and old. Such a call to call back and forth, so that Wu Wei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The old man walked to the table, didn't even lift his eyelids, and wanted to go back to the house after putting down the plate.
"Old man, have you ever seen a young man in white clothes and white hair passing by here?" Wu Wei asked.
When the old man of the restaurant heard this, he turned around slowly, and then he looked up at Wu Wei, his old eyes were cloudy, and said, "Young man, the two of you parted ways half a year ago, didn't you say goodbye?"
Wu Wei was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Brother Lin Chen was really not mistaken, this old man was not simple, he just glanced at it, half a year has passed, and he still remembers the situation of that day.
"The old man has a good memory, there are not a thousand but hundreds of people who pass by here every day, and the old man still remembers our master and apprentice!"
The old man of the restaurant was still half-bent over, looking like a broken candle in the wind, shook his head, and said, "It's not that I have a good memory of this old bone, it's really that you two are too impressive!"
"Oh, why do you say that?" Wu Wei suddenly wondered.
"Let's put aside that you are not from the Southern Regions, just a few days ago, a big man from the Xuanhuang Sect came here and asked about your whereabouts!" said the old man of the restaurant unhurriedly.
"What... The big man of the Xuanhuang Sect..."Wu Wei was extremely puzzled in his heart, he had already carefully concealed his whereabouts in the Demon Prison, even if he killed the three sect disciples and an outer sect elder, but they were all in the Demon Prison's phantom array, how could he find this place so quickly.
"This town can't stay any longer, if the Demon Emperor Holy Soldier in my body is tracked down by the magical means of those big people, it will be extremely dangerous..."Wu Wei was panicked in his heart, preparing to leave this place as soon as possible.
"You don't have to be too alarmed, those people shouldn't be coming back for a while!" the old man of the restaurant felt the panic in Wu Wei's heart, and said kindly.
"Then why...," Wu Wei wondered.
"I guess the person they're really looking for is the one who walks with you. ”
"What..."Wu Wei couldn't sit still even more at this time, he began to worry about Lin Chen's safety, and said, "Old man, do you know why Xuanhuang Sect is looking for him?"
"This, the old decay is unknown!"
"Old man, do you still know something about the Xuanhuang Sect?" Wu Wei had been in this demon prison for too long, and he wanted to know more about what was happening in the Southern Regions.
"All the major events that happened in the Southern Regions are all related to the Xuanhuang Sect, and the old man is still advised not to provoke the Xuanhuang Sect!"
Wu Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he remembered that the old man of the restaurant had warned Lin Chen and himself that day, don't easily provoke this giant in the Southern Regions, but now he said, is that Xuanhuang Sect so terrible?
"Could it be that there are other deeper meanings?" Wu Wei wanted to continue to ask, but the old man of the restaurant had disappeared in front of him, returned to the house, and never came out again.
He didn't intend to drink, but at this moment he unconsciously picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, a hot feeling burned from the Adam's apple to the Lingtai square inch, after a while, he only felt that his whole body was unobstructed, and his heart seemed to calm down suddenly, and he said: "This sake looks like horse urine, and it makes people avoid it, and I can't imagine that there is such a strong and calm effect..."
"I have to find Lin Chen's brother's whereabouts..."Wu Wei thought for a while, and there was nowhere to go at this time, so he decided to find Lin Chen first.
