Chapter 113: Sleepy Pillow
When Shangguan Yi was eating, Li Shi was also discussing this matter.
"Are you really going to go for yourself? You know better than anyone else how dangerous it is, and we don't know what's in there, even if we've been living in it for so many years. One of Master Li's juniors said worriedly that he didn't want Master Li to take such a big risk to go into the mountains, which were now almost equated with Jedi.
"That's right, even if we really want to take those two people to the East China Sea, you can let us do it for you, and we will try our best to take him to the destination, don't you know what we can do?" another junior of Master Li also persuaded him.
"It is because I know that I am going, and you don't need to persuade me anymore, but when you reach my age, you will know. Li Shi looked at his juniors and said, but he didn't say a word about the specific reason. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it. Their talents are good, but they are just good, but there are no ones who can carry the crown. Telling these things to these people will not do them any good, but they may bring harm.
"You guys go out, I'll talk to Master Li. "The authority of a middle-aged man who speaks and drives others out as soon as he speaks can be seen.
Who is this man?
Li Shi is the older generation of the guide family, and belongs to the level of the old immortal, and the middle-aged person belongs to the best of the young generation and is the backbone of the group, so he can talk to Li Shi on an equal footing, and he also knows a lot of secrets, so it can be said that he and Li Shi are the ones who really know the specific matters of this emergency operation.
"Have you really decided to do this?" the middle-aged man asked Master Li, his words heavy in his voice.
"Yes, it's finally come to this moment, fate has chosen me, how can I retreat?" Master Li's tone was very contradictory, both relaxed and heavy.
He had waited for most of his life to wait for this opportunity, and since he had been chosen as a watchman when he was up-and-coming, he had been waiting, and he had finally waited for it. So he felt relaxed, compared to his predecessors who had waited all their lives to no avail, he was lucky enough. How could he not be heavy on the opportunity that the tribe had waited for for so many years, and if he screwed up, he would have to send people in again until they found something or waited for the fog to dissipate and there was no hope at all.
"However, you should have enjoyed the blessings of those predecessors until the end of your life, so this time you might as well let me go for you. The middle-aged man was a little unbearable, he was also brought up by Master Li, he couldn't bear to see Master Li work so hard, and he was not simple, he was the watchman of the next generation, and when Master Li died, he should take over the position of watchman and worry about the future of the race.
"No need, you should know my determination, it's just an old life, it's worthless. Qingfu or something, I've enjoyed half my life, it's enough, it's time for me to dissipate the residual heat, and shelter these children from the wind and rain again. Li Shi said lightly, there is no fear of death, and his indifferent appearance shows his bearing, which is the accumulation of his life.
"Well, then I wish you a smooth journey. The middle-aged man sighed, he knew Master Li's temper very well, and persuaded him just to give it a try, although persuasion is good, it is normal to persuade not to move.
"If I fail, don't take any more risks, go to the border guard to find a way to survive, and offer the treasure we treasure, at least for more than ten years of well-being. Then go and find another way out, and the rest of the road will be left to you, so you have to be careful. Master Li's advice sounded in the room, and it also knocked on the hearts of middle-aged people.
The middle-aged man nodded seriously, they never thought that the end of the prophecy would come at this moment, although he felt the burden of responsibility before, but he had never realized so deeply, after Master Li, it was he who carried it, and he needed to think about more and more carefully than before.
"Will those two distinguished guests come with you?" I see that their attitude seems to be leaning towards you, but they are a little vague. The middle-aged man thought for a while and asked. After all, the prophecy said that there would be distinguished guests from afar to participate, and only those two people were eligible.
"He's smart, really smart, and his apparent tendency is actually secretly detached. He is a lord who does not see a rabbit and does not scatter an eagle. We've already had an accident with one of our teams, and we've not heard from us yet, which shows that our guide's talent may not work in it, and that it can only be relied on experience and skill, so he has no intention of going with us at all. Li Shi shook his head, the middle-aged man's understanding of people is still not high enough, and he doesn't know how to consider problems from the other party's point of view, so he hasn't let Xian yet, so he still has to tell him in every way.
"What? What then, without them, you will go into the mountains as if you are giving it for nothing, no, I firmly oppose it. When the middle-aged man heard Li Shi say this, he immediately became excited, and he thought that with the help of those two people, the conditions in the prophecy would be met, and they might be able to find what they needed. Who knew that Master Li actually said such a sentence when he was on the verge of it, so what did he do in the past, looking for death?
"The distinguished guests who come from afar do not necessarily refer to them, don't you think these two people are too young, what can they know? It's not that I judge people by their appearance, these two people may have two brushes, but they are not the people who can help us, and we are not the people who can help them, so it is normal for them not to trust us, and I don't trust them, so I do this with the belief that I will die, no matter what the harvest is, as long as there is, it is earned. The firm belief in Li Shi's eyes flickered, stinging the middle-aged man's eyes, making his eyes reddened slightly.
The middle-aged man knew that this trip was difficult, but he couldn't imagine that Li Shi didn't plan to come back alive at all, and at this moment he wanted to dissuade him but had no position or reason, so he could only let this old man act.
Li Shi sighed slightly in his heart, if only there was a genius like that child in the clan who was enough to carry the crown and pick the beam, they didn't have to follow the path arranged by others, just like a puppet, life and death could not help themselves, but they still had to fight desperately to survive. The children of the next generation and the next generation are good, but they are not too outstanding, and the fate of this group is on me, what should I do?
Yes, even Master Li, who was calm on the surface, actually didn't have any idea how to carry out this operation in his heart. But he pretended to be very sure, no matter what anyone said, he looked indifferent as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front of him and his face did not change. Therefore, he can ignore the threat of the king's steward, if they succeed, then Shangguan Yi and the two of them will not have an accident; if they fail, then there is a high probability that they will not succeed, and offer treasures to block the mouth of the border guard, at most a small punishment, no big precept; if they are lucky enough to succeed in the back, they can also leave from their back road with things, and the clan will relocate, and the border guard will not dare to declare a personal vendetta, and the affairs of their clan are private and have never been made public.
In other words, Master Li and the guide clan are now barefoot, so how can they be afraid of these rules? The principle of choosing the lesser of two powers is understood by everyone. In the final analysis, the rules are still used to restrain people who have ties and dare not violate them. This was shown by Li Shi, and Shangguan Yi also saw it, only Steward Wang did not understand.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Yi yawned and went to wash, he was still sleepy, how could he be relieved by sleeping for more than a day after eating so many unnatural results? However, when he was washing, he heard an exclamation from outside, and then it seemed to be praising someone, the voice was higher and higher, very noisy but made people feel a sense of joy, and the gloom of yesterday's depression was also swept away, and everything seemed to be suddenly clear.
He hastily wiped his face and went out of the room to see the situation, but suddenly crashed into a pair of eyes, which seemed ordinary, but they looked a little better, or maybe not a little. But Shangguan Yi can see something unusual through his eyes... She saw that I was transfigured!
I don't know why, after the alarm bell rang in Shangguan Yi's heart, such a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart, maybe this is the legendary sixth sense? Anyway, Shangguan Yi thinks so.
The two looked at each other across the crowd, and even if there was a noise in the middle, the world seemed to be quiet, as if there were only two of them left in this world.
After a long time, Shangguan Yi withdrew his eyes and returned to the room.
This woman is too terrible, the exercise she cultivates seems to be "The Charm of the Moon", but I don't know what her identity is, fortunately, there is "Dao Law" to hold the yuan and guard the gods, otherwise I am afraid that I will suffer just now, is this the benefit of strong mental power?
"What's the matter, what the hell is going on, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy?" Hua Xiangrong came out of the other room, sleepy-eyed, she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
"Pack your things, let's go, let's go now, take a detour to the East China Sea. Shangguan Yi said bluntly, not even explaining the reason.
"What?!" Hua Xiangrong was surprised by his words, and immediately came to his senses, looked at Shangguan Yi's solemn expression, knew that he was not joking, and said again: "Okay." Then he went back to the room to get his own things, and followed Shangguan Yi, who had also packed up, out of the VIP room.
She didn't know what Shangguan Yi saw, but she was sure that they were very difficult to deal with, otherwise with his temperament, how could he run away directly, so she didn't ask much, just run to a safe place and talk about it.
As soon as they left the room, Shangguan Yi saw the woman sitting at a table at the door of the post station just now, and Steward Wang was accompanying her with a good face, looking very humble.
"Are the two of them the VIPs you are talking about going to the East China Sea?" the woman pointed at Shangguan Yi, and her voice was just loud enough for Shangguan Yi and the two to hear clearly.
Shangguan Yi handed Steward Wang a warning look, signaling him not to say that it was the two of them, but obviously Steward Wang did not have a tacit understanding with him, nodded and said, "That's right, it's them, how about it, for the sake of the handsome, Miss An is doing a favor?"
"It turned out to be her, Yueyin Charm Pupil is gentle and soft, no wonder you are so panicked to leave. When Hua Xiangrong saw An Yirou, she understood Shangguan Yi's abnormality, but she didn't hesitate, and leaned into Shangguan Yi's ear and said: "You go and get her, she is a veritable formation master An Yirou, and if you get her, you can go to the East China Sea." ”
The moon's charm pupils are gentle and soft, and there are several triple heaven masters on the rivers and lakes. Of course, this sentence is a bit strange, what is called a number? There are so many masters of the Triple Heavens, why does she have such a special status? In fact, it is nothing, it is fame, in everyone's hearts, although this woman's strength is not the top, and the realm of the Triple Heaven alone is not the top one, but she is terrible, very terrifying. The words abrasive leprechaun and femme fatale couldn't be more appropriate to describe her, especially for men.
My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
But when it comes to An Yirou, those so-called gentlemen can't wait to take a detour and get as far away from her as possible.
An Yi is soft and good-looking, with black hair and ink eyes, a clean voice and a soft body, and a petite appearance that is lovely, and she is a rare beauty. But when others talk about her, they will never say how good-looking she is, what her posture is, only how terrible she is, and her famous deeds. The three of them became tigers, and over time, her reputation became what it is now, and she didn't bother to clarify. But this seems to outsiders to be a tacit acquiescence, after all, who doesn't care about her reputation among women?
After all, but people can have such a reputation, regardless of the specific content, in terms of the loudness of the reputation, she can take responsibility. The strength of the people is average, but the craftsmanship is amazing, the formation master, the holy hand of medicine and poison, these two names alone are enough to scare people, not to mention that she is also a master of disguise, referring to the kind of real master who is perfect and disguised. With such an identity, coupled with her strange martial arts, playing with someone is as simple as eating and drinking, who can not be afraid?
An Yirou's fame has been in the past fifteen years, so it is normal for Shangguan Yi not to know her, but even if she doesn't know her, Shangguan Yi feels the feeling of danger with her instincts, which shows how terrible she is.
Shangguan Yi: "...?" What's going on with this chill in the back?
His eyes lit up when he heard Hua Xiangrong say that this person was a formation master, and indeed as long as he got her, they would be able to pass through the mountains and enter the East China Sea in just a few days. But he looked at An Yirou, who was sitting there, and the latter didn't speak again, nor did he move, just looked at him as he had just done, and his eyes didn't even change...
Shangguan Yi shuddered and whispered, "Forget it, I'm cowardly, let's go." ”
Hua Xiangrong looked at An Yirou with admiration, if it weren't for her appearance, she would almost think that Shangguan Yi was really not afraid of heaven and earth, this is the brine and tofu, one thing and one thing? Shaking her head, Hua Xiangrong followed Shangguan Yi and continued to walk.
"Childe, wait, don't worry, Miss An is a formation master, you will definitely be able to reach the East China Sea safely with her, don't be in a hurry to set off." The king's steward was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped them, not wanting them to go out.
"Yes, there's no need to be in such a hurry, can I take you to the East China Sea when I have a rest. An Yirou unexpectedly took the words of the king's steward, and also blocked Shangguan Yi's mouth.
Shangguan Yi wanted to refuse An Yirou, but he didn't dare, especially when Hua Xiangrong frantically hinted that he should hurry up and thank An Yirou for his help, he could only secretly helpless, and said with great honor on the surface: "Then thank Miss An for her help, it really helped, and there will be heavy thanks afterwards." ”
When he said this, everyone, especially the man, looked at him with a change in their eyes, as if a room full of cowards were looking up to a strong man, and the cowards themselves did not feel ashamed.
When Shangguan Yi wondered in his heart, An Yirou smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it." "It's been a long time since anyone has dared to say such a thing in front of her, but this little fellow has the courage.
An Yirou's smile, the room full of people are crazy, she can't say that she is alluring to the country and the city, but she has her unique charm, and people are reluctant to take their eyes off when she laughs.
Shangguan Yi looked at her smile, touched his nose, and was a little scared, did he do something stupid unintentionally?
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Yi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"No, nothing, when are we leaving?" Hua wanted to hold back the smile, anyway, according to her perception of him, he was bullied a little worse at most, but his life was in danger, and it was good to have someone else to help me do my unfinished business.
"It depends on Miss An's situation, we can still wait for a day or two. Shangguan Yi shrugged, anyway, they all got in the car, it's too late to get out of the car, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, anyway, looking at the meaning of the flowers, at least he won't hang up, as long as he won't be killed, as for other things, it should be bearable, right?
"I'll take a nap after eating, adjust my spirits, and set off in the evening. An Yirou didn't take any of the show, and she didn't like that, so she was a little more positive than most people about people she didn't dislike or things she had promised. Because she likes the feeling of freedom, these things are too restrictive for her, and she should finish it early and liberate it sooner. As for the time she asked, it was already quite urgent, and any further reduction could make her mentally exhausted and make mistakes, which no one wanted to see.
"You don't have to rush, it's okay to leave tomorrow. Shangguan Yi smiled slightly, he looked like a gentleman who was thinking about An Yirou, and even Hua Xiangrong was a little suspicious that his perception of him was wrong, only Master Li knew that this kid wanted to stagger with them, this was for fear of being cheated by them.
"No, I'm in a hurry. An Yirou's words also carried a hint of imperceptible coldness.
"Then as you wish, let's go and prepare for the upcoming itinerary, so we won't bother you, and we'll see you in the evening. Shangguan Yi retreated and returned to the room with Hua Xiangrong.
"Who is she? Why are you all weird?" Shangguan Yi asked impatiently as he closed the door.
"What, there are still things you don't know?" Hua Xiangrong teased him, he seemed to know everything about the Chaos Land before, and it was a bit like Bai Xiaosheng.
"I'm not a god, how can I be omniscient and omnipotent? I have done my homework before, and I really don't have any impression of who this is. Shangguan Yi urged, he was really curious, and everyone was secretive.
Hua Xiangrong pondered what he said about the non-god, non-omniscient and omnipotent, if he is not a god, at most he knows a little more, but he doesn't really know everything, can he do everything?
"Hey, don't sell it, talk about it. Under Shangguan Yi's repeated urging, Hua Xiangrong came back to his senses and gave him a science popularization of what it means to be self-inflicted.
After hearing this, Shangguan Yi didn't mean to be afraid, but put his mind at ease, not worrying at all about whether he would be killed by An Yirou. This aroused Hua Xiangrong's curiosity.
"Aren't you worried?" Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but ask, looking at the faces of those people before, that is the reaction of normal people when they meet An Yirou, hypocritical praise, fear and aside, Shangguan Yi is really rare to be burned but still like no one.
"What are you worried about? Of course, she has a strange personality, a little stronger, and knows more things, but what does it matter to me? I don't have any intentions for her, uh, there is also a little, after all, we have to rely on her formation to cultivate to cross the mountains, and nothing else. If you have no desire, you are strong, and her prank may not make me feel a headache, not to mention that I can't hide from it, just like I want to go with Master Li, obviously I am not happy to do it, but it still has to happen. In contrast, I think it's more important to worry about Li Shi, you have to know that the enemy who is afraid of death is not terrible, the one who is terrible is not afraid of death, Li Shi is like this, you have to be careful of him, don't be deceived by him. “
"It turns out that you wanted to stagger the time with him and stay away from him. Hua Xiangrong suddenly realized that she finally understood Shangguan Yi's actions. She wasn't wrong about what she knew, but she wasn't sensitive enough about what he knew and what she thought of.
"Otherwise, what do you think? It's better to leave early than you can, maybe you won't be able to leave if you leave late. Shangguan Yi rolled his eyes, he didn't know where Hua Xiangrong had thought of before, it was definitely not a good thing anyway.
"In fact, if you think about it from another angle, An Yirou's joining is definitely a great thing, she promised to send us to the East China Sea and will not let others harm us halfway, which is equivalent to having an extra bodyguard. Hua Xiangrong flickered Shangguan Yi in a demagogic tone, but unfortunately Shangguan Yi was not fooled.
"I don't know what Master Li's purpose is, anyway, it won't be as simple as helping us, let alone harming us, unless he has a secret identity similar to a killer, otherwise he has never known anything in his life, why did he kill us so much? Most likely, he is looking for something, but you are right, An Yirou's joining is indeed a good thing, at least any strange actions An Yirou can find. As for why An Yirou agreed, I don't know, anyway, it may be for the sake of the face of the handsome man in the mouth of the king's steward, or it may be for some other reason. Shangguan Yi carefully analyzed the stakes and disadvantages.
"You are so real, can't I see you pitiful, so I help you?" Hua Xiangrong complained weakly, didn't she follow Shangguan Yi for similar reasons?
"She's afraid of trouble, I don't think my charm is enough to attract her, let her help us, even, I don't look pitiful, okay?" Shangguan Yi rolled his eyes again, if this was the reason, then did she treat him like a beggar? He didn't feel that he was so miserable that he could see it at a glance.
"Maybe you can ask her, if you're really curious. Hua Xiangrong gave him a bad idea, but he actually couldn't wait to see him abused.
"No need, there is no need to say it so clearly, she helped me once today, I just wrote it down, and I will return it to her another day. Shangguan Yi shook his head, he didn't fall for it, and it basically meant the finale, maybe An Yirou was irritated when she was asked, so she picked on her and quit, wouldn't that be a blood loss?
"Hmph, whatever you want, anyway, I'll just mix it up, and I don't need to give a thank you gift. Friendly reminder, what you said is heavy thanks, her reaction is obviously serious, you better think about how to deal with it, if you can't satisfy her when the time comes, you can ask for more blessings. Hua Xiangrong, who didn't succeed in the treacherous scheme, continued to fall into the well very unhappily.
"This, isn't it polite language?" Shangguan Yi is petrified, whoever will take this kind of polite words seriously will lose, okay, isn't this An Yirou a witch-like existence? Why can't he even understand this.
"She usually doesn't care, but you said it after she promised to help you, and she said wait and see, obviously she cares, you're lucky. Hua Xiangrong continued to fall into the well.
"Well, it's really a character that so many people are afraid of, and it's unpredictable. It's not a big problem, isn't it just a thank you? If you're not satisfied, can she still kill me?" Shangguan Yi sighed and said his plan.
"Well, she really kills. The last man who spoke like you has been dead for a long time, and no one should dare to say such things in front of her after that, you are very brave. Hua Xiangrong patted him on the shoulder to show her admiration.
"This is called a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, can you explain the truth that those who don't know are not guilty?" Shangguan Yi was a little apprehensive, there were nothing good things on him, most of them were still useful, and it was impossible to give them away casually.
"Do you think, is it possible?" Hua Xiangrong finally saw Shangguan Yi's bitter gourd face, and the depression in his heart was all relieved, and it was very comfortable.
"Let me think, let me think. After Shangguan Yi said these two sentences, he fell into deep thought.
