Chapter 10 There are foxes and ghosts who like to kill red
Wu Ling gasped, it was the first time he had seen such a tall and burly person.
"Is this still a person?"
Wu Ling subconsciously weighed his arm, feeling that four or five of him combined, none of them were as heavy as the people who came to the road. Now Wu Ling only hopes that this person is not here to hunt down and kill him, otherwise he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of big guy now.
However, judging from the posture of people blocking the road, it seems unlikely.
A bald man with a height of nearly one zhang is carrying a heavy Dading to block the road, it is impossible for him to ask for directions, right?
Wu Ling clenched the princely sword in his hand and was on guard carefully.
At this moment, a slippery head popped out of the giant tripod carried by the big man, blinking his big eyes and looking at Wuling's side, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally saw a figure!"
As he spoke, he jumped out of it and landed lightly on the ground.
It was a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old.
The child's appearance is quite good, with red lips and white teeth, even if his face is dirty and looks a little haggard, he can't hide the delicate spirit that can be compared with the little girl.
"Little monk?"
Wu Ling couldn't help but be stunned, a little uncertain.
The child and the big man are bald, so Wuling subconsciously thinks about the monk, but the clothes worn by the child are not the common monk clothes in the temple, but the brocade clothes on the fabric, which makes it difficult to determine.
However, there is one thing that Wu Ling can be sure of, that is, the child's kung fu should be very good.
Just now, the child jumped out of the giant tripod and fell to the ground, his clothes were not messy at all, and he looked effortless. Wuling has seen many masters, but there are very few who can do it like a child.
"You two, my name is Monday, and I'm really embarrassed just now. ”
Monday bowed slightly to apologize to the two Wuling, and then explained: "We have just been lost and trapped in the mountains for more than ten days, and we are so hungry that we want to change some food to the two of us." ”
Monday glanced back at the big man behind him, afraid that the two of them would be afraid, and added: "Don't worry, Tu Shan just looks tall, he is actually very kind, don't be afraid, he won't hurt people at will." ”
After talking a lot in one breath, something suddenly occurred to Monday.
He hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of silver from his money bag and said, "I can exchange money with you." ”
Wu Ling frowned slightly, puzzled, "Could it be that I made a mistake, the two of them didn't come after him?"
Monday's sincere attitude makes it difficult to think of him as a killer.
Moreover, the dirty clothes on Zhou Zhou and Tu Shan also prove that what Zhou just said about being trapped in the mountains for a few days did not lie.
In Wuling's suspicions, Monday's stomach gurgled.
Wu Ling took off the burden hanging next to the door of the carriage and threw it over, "It contains green onion cakes, give it to you, don't need money, just make a friend." ”
said so, but Wu Ling didn't dare to be careless.
Some mad forces like to take advantage of the fact that children are easy to gain trust, and then train children to be killers.
And the child in front of him seems to be much more mature than a child of the same age.
This is very suspicious.
Monday took the burden, hurriedly opened it, took a green onion cake and took a bite of it, and ate it in a big gulp, while eating, he didn't forget to take some for Tushan.
In order to cut corners, Monday and Tu Shan were trapped in the mountains for more than ten days. In the mountains, a lot of game was caught, but there was no fire fold, and the two of them could not drill wood to make fire, so they could only eat it raw. Monday has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't usually eat anything with less oil and salt, let alone eat it raw.
In the past few days, I didn't eat a few bites on Monday, but vomited a lot.
Tu Shan, who looked wooden, waved his hand, put the big ding on his shoulder on the ground with his backhand, took the green onion cake, nodded slightly to the two Wuling, and said, "Thank you!"
Only then did he realize that he had been rude, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, big brother!"
Wu Ling shook his head and said, "You're welcome. ”
The appearance of swallowing dates on Monday has made most of the doubts in Wu Ling's heart disappear, and at the same time, he is also relieved. If you really want to face Tu Shan, excluding the unknown of Chen Dou, he and Xu Shan are afraid that they are not opponents at all.
Wu Ling's eyes were all on the tripod that Tu Shan had put down.
Ding is a common copper double-eared three-legged tripod, its body is engraved with a unicorn, black and bright. The three legs and ears are smooth and shiny, and these places are obviously touched a lot.
At the moment when Tu Shan put down the tripod, the tripod's three legs directly fell into the ground, and it seemed that there were five or six hundred catties. It is hard to imagine that a person can carry such a heavy tripod, walk freely, and run as usual.
If this tripod were to be smashed on a person, a single blow would be fatal.
Wu Ling asked, "Junior Brother Zhou, where are you going?" Do you need me to show you the way?"
Monday was eating, and said vaguely: "We are going to go to Tianmu Mountain in the Rain Country to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference. ”
Speaking of this, Monday suddenly raised his head and asked, "By the way, big brother, I don't know your name yet!"
Wu Ling said: "My name is Wu Qilin. ”
Wu Ling didn't say his real name, but used Wu Sha and Wu Xiangyang's name that Wu Xiangyang often called him to combine one.
Monday glanced at the sword box behind Wu Ling and said, "Is Brother Qilin also going to Tianmu Mountain to participate in the Sword Conference?"
Wu Ling nodded, "I have this plan!"
Wu Ling was not surprised that Monday would ask such a question.
Now in the thirteen countries of Kyushu, almost all the people with sword boxes around them are ready to go to Tianmu Mountain.
Monday said happily: "That's great, so that I can't get lost after you." ”
Walking here from Da Zhou, even if you have a map on your body, you can't tell the difference between Monday and Tushan in the southeast and northwest and get lost every few days. Along the way, the two of them don't know how many times they have been lost. It's not uncommon to spin around and return to where you've been.
If no one leads the way, the next designation will go astray.
The day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival, there are still more than 30 days before the Tianmu Mountain on August 15, and if you go wrong, you will not be able to reach the Tianmu Mountain as scheduled.
Wu Ling didn't have any opinion on this, nodded and said, "Then let's go together!"
Monday glanced around, scratched his bare head, and asked, "Brother Qilin, where is this?"
Wu Ling said: "On the Dragon Road between Wucheng and Fufeng Town, it should be seventy or eighty miles away from Fufeng Town, if you go quickly, you should be able to reach it before nightfall." ”
"You're going to Fufeng Town?"
Monday hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Then I advise you, Brother Qilin, it's best to take a detour, bypass Fufeng Town, and don't pass through Fufeng Town!"
Wu Ling was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It seems that Brother Qilin doesn't know what happened in Fufeng Town yet!" Monday explained: "In recent years, every year near Qixi Festival, strange things will happen in Fufeng Town!"
Wu Ling was curious: "What's the strange thing?"
Monday said with great interest: "In the past few years, the newlyweds who have married in the church around Qixi Festival in Fufeng Town, the groom died on the night of the cave room!"
Wu Ling was dazed, "And this is the case?"
Fufeng Town was less than two hundred miles away from Wucheng, and he had never heard of it.
Xu Shan said: "Childe, there is indeed such a thing. It is said that there are fox demons who have taken a fancy to these grooms, and the marriage of these grooms has angered the fox demons. So the fox demon killed these bridegrooms when they entered the cave. ”
However, some people say that this is because there was once a scholar in Fufeng Town, and when he was married in the church, he suddenly ran away with a rich lady and lost the bride. The bride couldn't figure it out, so she committed suicide by jumping into a well and became a female ghost. The female ghost wanted to find a scholar for revenge, but she couldn't find the scholar, and she was angry with the newlyweds who planned to get married. ”
Xu Shan has traveled south and north for nearly ten years, and he has heard countless stories of this kind.
At first, I was scared, but as I walked longer and saw more places, I stopped believing in them.
Xu Shan felt that it was still left by the ancestors, "Seeing is believing, and hearing is false." "More reasonable. This is also the reason why Xu Shan has not been afraid at all these years, even if he is alone at night.
Fox demon?
The more Wu Ling listened, the more mysterious he felt.
Whether it is a fox demon or a female ghost, Wu Ling doesn't believe it very much. The stories of fox demons and scholars or female ghosts and scholars in the world today are all self-fantasies of scholars who want to eat soft rice to solve their predicament, which is pure fiction.
If these things really exist in reality, why are there only romance novels related to them, but there are no historical materials that record their eating, drinking, and living habits in detail?
Even if there were, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him, right?
Wu Ling was puzzled: "I just passed by Fufeng Town, and I didn't go to the church to get married, why did I say that I had to take a detour and not pass through Fufeng Town?"
Monday pinched the corner of his clothes and gestured, "Because Brother Qilin, you are wearing red." ”
Wu Ling smiled: "Do you want to say that because I am wearing red, the fox demon girl or something, will treat me as a groom who is going to get married, and then attack me?"
Monday nodded and said, "Yes!"
Wu Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "Most of these are demagogic rumors by people with ulterior motives!"
Monday looked serious and said: "I think you still have to be cautious, Brother Qilin! Last year, there were people who didn't believe in evil like you, and deliberately wore red clothes to Fufeng Town before Qixi Festival, and then he is now estimated to be taller than me!"
"Moreover, a few days ago, Zhao Jianyi, who was sixth on the sword list of the younger generation, also died when he entered the cave room. It can be seen how strong the strength of that fox demon or female ghost is!"
Wu Ling's heart trembled, "Zhao Jianyi is dead?"
His third brother Wu Nan has a hobby, which is to make friends, and then invite friends to the Wuwang Mansion to drink and discuss swords together.
Wu Nan has a good relationship with Zhao Jianyi.
Because of this, Wu Ling had seen Zhao Jian a few times in the Wuwang Mansion, a very elegant and polite person.
At a drinking party held by Wu Nan, Zhao Jianyi pointed out the defects of Wu Nan's basic sword moves and pointed out how to solve them. Wu Nan listened, and after trying it, his swordsmanship really went one step further.
After Wu Xuance learned about this, he praised Zhao Jianyi a lot, and at the same time used Zhao Jianyi's sword moves to teach Wu Nan as the standard, and rewrote the basic sword moves practiced by the disciples of Wuwangfu.
Because of this, Wu Ling was more impressed by Zhao Jianyi.
Monday nodded and said: "Mo No! Someone cut off his head with a sword! And after Zhao Jianyi died, the person who killed him, no, it should be said that it was a ghost, next to his corpse, there was also the word waste." It is said that because of these two words, the people who ranked sixth on the sword list have rushed to Fufeng Town to find out the murderer. ”
The people after the sixth place on the sword list gathered in Fufeng Town, naturally not to avenge Zhao Jianyi.
But the murderer who killed Zhao Jianyi scolded Zhao Jianyi for being a waste, so aren't they people who are after the sixth place on the sword list as waste?
How can you endure this kind of thing!
Listening to Wu Ling's words, Zhou knew that Wu Ling didn't believe in the fox ghost and would not change his route because of this, so he said: "If Brother Qilin wants to pass by Fufeng Town, don't worry too much. The Zhao family has already offered a reward of 3,000 taels of gold to kill the murderer's body. Now that Fufeng Town has gathered countless masters, no matter how powerful the fox demon or female ghost is, it is estimated that he will not dare to come out. ”
Wu Ling said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Little Brother Zhou, at a young age, knew so much. Anyway, thank you for telling me so much. ”
Monday scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm not young, but I look small." ”
I didn't say it on Monday, but he was actually ten years old this year, but he just looked like six or seven.
In between talking, I had already eaten two scallion cakes on Monday. He licked his fingers with a satisfied expression, never feeling so happy.
Wu Ling said: "Junior Brother Zhou, since you have eaten enough, then let's go on the road!"
"Okay!"
Monday picked up the burden on the ground, jumped into the big ding of Tushan.
Tu Shan squatted down, reached into Ding's abdomen with one hand, and lifted Da Ding to his shoulders with one hand. The whole process of lifting the top seems effortless.
This scene made Wu Ling and Xu Shan stunned.
Wu Ling said, "Little Brother Zhou, why don't you come to the carriage?"
Zhou Zhou knew what Wu Ling meant, and said with a smile: "Brother Qilin, you don't have to worry. Don't look at this ding, plus I weigh thousands of catties, in fact, for Tu Shan, it's only twenty or thirty catties. And Tu Shan has a strange disease, if he doesn't carry heavy things all the time, he will be sore, like thousands of ants tearing bones. ”
"Is that so?"
Wu Ling decided to go and meet Zhao Jiangnan.
He wanted to see what kind of scene Zhao Jiangnan, who was born with divine power, would be after he met Tu Shan.
Chen Dou, who was drowsy in the carriage, said to himself: "Why does the battle body of Tianwang Mountain appear in the Inverted Hanging Mountain?"
