Volume 1 The Mortal Dust of the Human World Chapter 57 The Dust Inn, the Land of the West
After everyone left, the entire beast domain seemed to be quiet, and with the fallen trees everywhere, it looked like a deserted place. When Wu Chen came to the periphery of the Beast Domain, he couldn't find a single figure, and muttered to himself, "Ji'er, they won't go back to the Xuanling Palace!"
"Alas, I'll go back as soon as possible to save her worry, but from here to the Xuanling Realm, with my current cultivation in the early stage of Gathering Spirits, I don't know how long it will take. Wu Chen shook his head and walked forward.
On the periphery of the beast domain and the border of the Xuanling Continent, there are rows of inns, and at this moment this place is extremely depressed, and there is no figure, Wu Chen came to a place called "Dust Inn", and happened to see the shopkeeper bowing his head and closing the door.
Looking up at the sky, the scorching sun was in the sky at this time, Wu Chen was also puzzled, why did it close so early? Hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the shopkeeper and asked, "Little brother, why did it close so early?" And why is it so depressed here, I remember that it was quite lively when I came!"
The shopkeeper was stunned at first, and when he looked up and saw Wu Chen, he was surprised, "Why are you still leaving, guest officer?"
In the Chenyuan Inn, the shopkeeper heard the sound, walked to the door, and saw Wu Chen, who was dressed in a tiger coat, and reached out to pat the head of the shopkeeper, "What are you doing with a pestle when a guest comes, hurry up and pour tea and cook." The shopkeeper shook his head, pouted and ran in quickly.
Wu Chen walked into the inn and looked around, only to see rows of wooden tables neatly placed, but they were empty and extremely deserted. Scratching his head, the shopkeeper next to him asked, "Uncle, but everyone has evacuated?"
The shopkeeper sighed faintly, "Yes, Childe, I don't know why, the various sects and factions suddenly sent back the disciples who came to practice, and those scattered scholars also left one after another, this business is not easy to do, I also plan to leave, and I will open a restaurant again when I return to my hometown." ”
The shopkeeper's hair was black and white, apparently of a certain age, and after he finished speaking, he walked to the counter and sorted out his things.
After thinking for a while, Wu Chen walked to a small table and sat down, but he was also a little hungry at the moment. When Xiao Er served the wine and food, and when he ate alone, he felt a little boring.
Bang bang bang, suddenly, outside the closed door of the inn, there was a sound of slapping. Wu Chen got up in confusion and opened the door. But I saw a woman dressed in light blue running in in a hurry, the woman was pretty, and there was some joy in her big eyes. This person is Zhili, she was in danger after pitting Hua Haitang, and when she came out, she found that everyone had gone, and she was also exhausted, looking for a place to stay, but the building was already empty.
When she saw someone open the door, she rushed in with great joy, pushed away the man in front of her, ran to the table where the food was served, and feasted on it.
Seeing this scene, Wu Chen was speechless, looked at the woman, came to her side, touched his nose, and coughed a few times, "This girl, this table of dishes is mine." ”
"What is yours, the old lady bought it, and now it is the old lady's. Zhili's mouth was stuffed with fish meat, and her words were slurred, like a domineering female bandit. Swallowing the food in his mouth, he squinted at Wu Chen. Wu Chen looked at this domineering woman, and he was also secretly angry, "This woman is not domineering, she will steal other people's things without saying a word when she comes in." ”
"Hey, what sect are you from?" Zhili suddenly became overjoyed, thinking that there were still people who had not left, and suddenly felt like she had met an old friend.
"There is no sect or sect below, and there is one scattered person. Wu Chen's face was expressionless, but he only noticed that the word "Xuanling" was engraved on the chest of this woman's clothes.
Seeing Wu Chen staring at her chest, Zhili gritted her teeth, squinted her eyes, and asked softly, "Is it good-looking?"
"Good-looking, good-looking!" uh, after instinctively answering casually, Wu Chen regretted it. Suddenly looked up, only to see Zhili's face full of murder. Wu Chen hurriedly retreated, kept shaking his hand and said, "No, no, no, there is no intention, misunderstanding and misunderstanding." ”
But it was over, and Zhili got up and swept with her feet up, and her mid-stage cultivation of the Gathering Spirit was unobstructed.
Wu Chen's eyes focused slightly, his battle body moved, and he raised his arm to block Zhili's kick, and after a soft sound, Wu Chen took dozens of steps backwards, knocking over the table behind him.
Hey, Zhili also took three or four steps back, and secretly sighed lightly, her kick seemed to be kicked on the body of a first-order realm beast, and the anti-shock force was a little painful.
Wu Chen shook his arm, stared at Zhili without squinting, and shouted angrily, "The girl is too domineering, she will occupy my wine and food without saying a word, and I will endure it." I just saw the word "Xuanling" on your chest, and you are like this, it is too deceitful!"
Wu Chen is aggressive, he doesn't want to endure it at the moment, although this person is in the middle stage of gathering spirits, but if he angers him, he will not be afraid.
After hearing Wu Chen's words, Zhili looked down at her chest before she suddenly realized. In addition, although this person is in the early stage of gathering spirits, his physique is strong, and it is a little difficult to fight.
"Yes, the old lady is a disciple of Xuanling, what questions do you have?" Zhili accepted the spiritual power, sorted out her clothes, and looked at Wu Chen suspiciously.
When Wu Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, and his body stepped forward slightly, but let Zhili retreat, "Does the girl know Hu Ji'er?"
"Could it be that you also know Sister Ji'er?" Hearing the man in front of her mention Hu Ji'er, Zhili was stunned.
"That's natural, girl, do you know if Ji'er is going back now?" Wu Chen's expression was excited, and he continued to ask, listening carefully, his voice seemed to tremble slightly.
Seeing him like this, she made Zhili look at it carefully. circled around Wu Chen a few times, and muttered to himself, "Not to mention, he looks quite handsome, but compared to my flower begonia, it is much inferior." ”
In the end, Zhili stopped in front of Wu Chen, her face was helpless, "I don't know if Sister Ji'er has left, we came to practice, and after being swept away by the beast tide, I was trapped in a fog, and now I have escaped." But as for whether she went back, go to the Xuanling Hall to have a look. ”
"It's just that now I'm afraid that the disciples in the sect have left, and there are no flying beasts, and I don't know when I will be able to arrive at the Xuanling Palace?"
Zhili sighed secretly as she spoke, sitting on a wooden stool, pinching the sideburns that fell from her ears, and constantly wrapping them around her fingers, worried.
Wu Chen's face was also dazed, yes, the distance is such a choice, I'm afraid that Sister Ji'er has already thought that I am dead. With a light sigh, he sat down across from Zhili, lifted the large bowl full of wine on the table, and poured it down in one gulp. With a sad face, this wine is not as delicious as the bamboo leaves made by Brother Hua.
The two of them didn't know each other, they were speechless at the moment, and they drank one sip at a time. Looking at Zhili, Wu Chen was secretly surprised, this woman is also a bold person.
"Girl, I don't know where the Xuanling Palace is, can you take me there?" Wu Chen thought for a long time, and felt that he still had to go to the Xuanling Palace to meet Hu Ji'er, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart if he didn't see her.
"Don't call the girl, my name is Zhili, what about you?" Zhili asked softly as she lifted the bowl and poured another sip of wine, her eyes wandering over the edge of the bowl.
Seeing that the woman was careless, Wu Chen touched his nose, but he was a little embarrassed, "Under Wu Chen." At the same time, the wariness of this woman was much lighter.
To the right of the Xuanling Continent, there is an ocean, called Fudu Ocean, and there is an island called Penglai Island. And above the Xuanling Continent, there is the Beast Domain. On the right side of the beast domain, there is a bordering continent, called the Xiyin Continent, and the lower part of the Xiyin is also connected to the Fudu Ocean. In the north of Xiyin, there is a big river, called Mohe, and the north of Mohe is a vast desert.
Xiyin, in a certain courtyard, the courtyard is fragrant, the strange grass fairy vines are more and more verdant, the vines lead the vines, and the vines wear the stone around the eaves, and strive to grow upward.
A woman in yellow sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, and the woman's face was haggard, which made people feel pity. Her eyes were glazed, looking at the green vines hanging from the top of the eaves, thoughtfully.
"Sister Ji'er," just as the woman was on her fugue, a girl jumped up and ran from behind. The girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, and has a pair of beautiful bones. When she came to Hu Ji'er's side, seeing her sad face, the girl squatted down, lowered her head, grabbed her lotus arm, and murmured, "Sister Ji'er, are you thinking about Brother Wu Chen again?"
Hu Ji'er woke up, looked at the girl, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Liyue, can Grandpa let me go back?"
"Sister Ji'er, it's not that grandpa won't let you go back, but your current cultivation, it's difficult to go back to protect yourself, why don't you cultivate well, and go with me to participate in the ranking competition of the Sealing Spirit Book when the time comes!"
The girl shook Hu Ji'er's arm, she didn't know why a man would let this make people see it, and Sister Ji'er, who was so impressed, was so worried.
The girl's name is Dongli Yue, and after saving Hu Ji'er in the beast domain, she took her back to Xiyin.
After Hu Ji'er woke up, she was eager to rush to the beast domain to find Wu Chen, but was stopped by the girl's grandfather. These days, she didn't think about tea and dinner, and her face was much haggard.
Dongli Yue's eyes swirled, narrowed into crescent moons, grabbed Hu Ji'er's slender fingers with a smile, and said softly: "Sister Ji'er, Brother Wu Chen's Jiren has his own natural appearance, he will be fine." You can rest assured that when you become strong, won't no one be able to break you up?"
Hearing this, Hu Ji'er's eyes brightened and nodded, yes, Wu Chen, he can't even take the Heavenly Tribulation away, he will be fine.
"Okay, let's go cultivate. Hu Ji'er changed her pathological state, got up and walked out of the pavilion. Seeing this, Dong Liyue was overjoyed and hurriedly trotted to follow.
In the morning, the morning breeze was blowing, shuttling through the gaps between several inns, bringing a whining whisper. After Wu Chen and Zhi Li stayed at the inn for a night, they rushed to the Xuanling Palace.
"Miss Zhili, is there any other way for us to get to the Xuanling Hall quickly. At the top of a small hill, looking at the long road, Wu Chen was a little anxious.
Zhili shook her head, "There is no other way, Xuanling has no horses, we can only walk." She was not in a hurry, and walked slowly down the hill. Wu Chen was also helpless, and followed in frustration.
On the trail, Zhili waved her hand, jumped up, ran to the side of the trail, picked a wildflower, and continued on her way. It didn't take long for her hands to be full of flowers.
Wu Chen followed behind, with a calm face and a word, secretly sighing that this bold Zhili also had a scene of her youngest daughter's house.
Gradually, the sky darkened. In the wilderness, in front of the two people, a family appeared.
