Chapter Forty-Nine: Fighting the Guard
Fire prevention and anti-theft, long night stability!"
"Bang-Bang!Bang!Bang!"
The sound was all in their ears, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a watchman!
However, this voice is slow and fast, indicating that it is the fourth watch at this moment.
For the slap change.
One slow and one fast, hit three times in a row, is for the change, that is, to announce the night.
One after another, so many times in a row, it is for the second watch.
Three is one slow and two fast, four is one slow and three fast, and five is one slow and four fast.
So just listen to the sound of the watchman knocking on the bamboo stick, it is enough to know the time.
They didn't realize that they had done anything when they came to Kueiin, and they had unknowingly spent so much time going.
But as soon as I thought about it, my heart was lifted again.
Kueiin has been abandoned for many years, and there are no people nearby, so why are there people who come over?
The three of them are all good at cultivation, and their courage is not small, and they are not very surprised by any charm.
It's just that Jiang Wang's strange distress has just happened, which inevitably makes them a little vigilant.
Several people looked at each other.
Fourteen were dressed in Yue's armor and walked in front silently.
Jiang Wang's hand had already pressed the sword, and he and Chong Xuansheng followed on the left and right, and naturally formed a small three-talent formation, which was a tacit understanding on the battlefield.
As mentioned earlier, there is a pool of stagnant water outside the ruins of Kueiwon, which is said to be a large pit left behind after the Buddha was pulled out of the mountain, and it was filled by rainwater.
As soon as the three of them came out of the ruins, they saw that beside the pool of stagnant water, with their backs to them, stood a slightly rickety man. Wearing a shabby fur hat and a torn jacket, he carried a lantern made of white paper in his hand, hanging above the pool.
Fourteen were dressed in heavy armor, and they were ready to attack without special control, and when they walked, they inevitably made the sound of the armor rubbing against them.
"Who?"
The man at the pool turned his head sharply. The miserable white light was shining, and an aging face, with round eyes, but no trace of brilliance - a blind one!
Stagnant water, blind, white lanterns......
And his hands have not stopped, and he is still knocking on the bamboo stick.
"Bang-Bang!Bang!Bang!"
Four watches!
"Passers-by. Chong Xuansheng said in a suppressed voice.
The rickety blind man stopped knocking on the hammer and said, "Don't bully the old man into being blind, the old man is clear!"
From him, no cultivation was perceived.
But as soon as these words came out, the invisible pressure had been sensed by the three of them.
In the Tongtian Palace, Jiang Xiao's voice suddenly sounded from the dark candle: "If I were you, I would flee here as soon as possible, and don't care about anything!"
Jiang Xiao's voice was very cautious.
With the speed at which the Flame Meteor erupted, he might indeed have escaped faster than Xuansheng and Fourteen.
But Jiang Wang just clenched the hilt of his sword and ignored Jiang Wei's suggestion: "Don't dare to deceive the old man, we have to go back." ”
The figure of the watchman did not move, and the white lantern seemed to freeze in the air.
He asked slowly, "Do you know where this is?"
Jiang Wang is indeed more sincere and easier to trust. Therefore, Chong Xuansheng also remained silent and let Jiang Wang come forward to negotiate.
Jiang Wang thought for a while and replied, "The ruined temple is ruined." ”
"What have you seen?"
"As far as the eye can see, the walls are ruined. What you see in your heart, it's just a barrier in your heart!"
The watchman asked again: "Do you know the way home?"
"Remember!"
What Jiang Wang said was indeed not half false.
The watchman paused for a moment before saying, "Be careful of the road and don't disturb your neighbors." ”
With that, he pulled the white paper lantern to the side, as if to show the way for the three of them.
"Thank you, sir. Jiang Wang said and was about to pass by.
Chong Xuansheng asked coldly: "How can the old man hold the white lantern even more?"
The beating is more humane: "Xu is painted off, the old man is blind and can't see." ”
Chong Xuansheng said: "Where does my father-in-law's family live? ”
The watchman raised the white lantern in front of him, as if the blind eyes could vaguely perceive some of the colors of the world.
However, the light of the white lantern shone on his wrinkled face, which looked particularly strange.
He said slowly, "If you are sincere, you might as well go home with me, and then make up for it." ”
Chong Xuansheng shrank back: "No need, it's more important for the old man to fight." ”
Without much to say at the moment, the three of them left here vigilantly, seemingly casually.
......
I walked out of Xu Yuan, and when I turned around, I couldn't see the light of the white lantern.
Chong Xuan Shengcai said solemnly: "There is really something strange in Kurong Courtyard, otherwise there is no need to arrange an unfathomable watchman here. ”
Fighting is just a very ordinary profession, but after all, it eats imperial grain, and in a sense, it also belongs to the people in the government.
And the watchman is also divided into levels.
As we all know, in addition to telling the time and reminding people of fire prevention and theft, there is also a function - to exorcise ghosts.
When it comes to transcendence, ordinary givers certainly can't do that.
The watchman outside the ruins of Kueiyuan should be the most terrifying one.
With the current strength of Jiang Wang and the others, they can't see the depth at all.
What kind of secret is it that causes such a powerful watchman to patrol after so many years of being razed to the ground in Kueiin?
And why, can it cause a change in the swastika and torture the mind?
Jiang Wang certainly knew why Chong Xuansheng attached so much importance to this issue.
The "eccentricity" in Kueiin is likely to be related to the changes in his father back then.
Jiang Wang asked in the Tongtian Palace: "Do you know anything about the watchman just now?"
Jiang Wei reminded him to flee just now, presumably with some judgment.
However......
The candle did not move, and Jiang Wei was silent.
Heh, it's quite a temper.
"I can only put it for now. Jiang Wang said seriously.
If the strength is not enough, it is useless to think about anything.
Chong Xuansheng also nodded: "I know." ”
He turned to ask, "I didn't have time to ask just now, what did you gain from Kurong Temple?" I feel that your aura is more agile and your momentum is more stable. ”
"Life and death wither, life and death are like turning. It must have been a great place back then. Jiang Wang said: "My Dao heart is more firm, and at the same time, I am aware of some of my own problems. ”
He had a realization in his heart: "Shouyuan is not perfect enough." This will be the threshold that will hinder me from further in my practice. ”
After asking the heart and having a clear conscience.
While strengthening his Dao heart, he also realized his own regrets.
The longevity that was spent on the White Bone Escape Method in Fenglin City at the beginning, although there was a Nian Cultivation Pill and a Longevity Fruit, it still could not be completely compensated.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he was unable to set foot on the limit in the Tongtian Realm at that time.
This is still a disadvantage of the lack of guidance from famous teachers, and many problems can only be discovered after hitting the wall, and even the head is broken. When Chong Xuansheng gave away Shouguo, he thought that he had made up for his regrets, but in fact, it was still a little worse.
Chong Xuansheng nodded and said, "If the problem can be found, it can be solved." If you need anything, feel free to tell me. ”
Fourteen were dressed in heavy armor and stepped silently on the long street.
......
The three of them quickly blended into the night of Linzi.
And in the vast night behind them, a white paper lantern flashed by.
"Bang-Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!"
Five watches.
