Chapter 18: The First Entry into the Mortal Dust
The Xuanhuang Bird let out a long cry and flew straight into the air, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye, and the speed was so fast that even the Daoist Commander of the Imperial Weapon was so fast that he sighed to himself.
Although flying in the air at high speed, the Xuan Phantom Bird comes with its own wind shield, so the two of them did not have any discomfort, looking at the thick fog and the white clouds that kept passing by, Yun Feng was full of emotion for a while, the cultivation world is extremely sinister, I don't know what danger I will face when I go to Firefox Town, although there is occasional friction with Shui Ling'er, but after all, his character is innocent and kind, but he is the only person who can be trusted on this trip.
Shui Ling'er's heart was also a little apprehensive, this was the first time she was so close to the opposite sex, in this ten thousand feet of high altitude, the person beside her was her only reliance and sustenance, before leaving, the master had explained, Firefox Town was mixed, and there might even be a monk in the foundation building period, so she was given a lot of means to save her life, but Yun Feng was just a new disciple of Luo Jianfeng, with his now declining master, whether he could save his life in case of danger depended on the will of heaven, a thought of this, and a little sad, thinking that the next road should be slightly better for him.
The two of them have their own hearts, nothing to say all the way, Xuanhuang Bird can indeed travel thousands of miles a day as the legend goes, and at noon, it has entered the territory of Sanshan Town.
Sanshan Town is located at the junction of Yufeng Mountain, Qingyuan Mountain and Firefox Mountain, and then 100 miles south is Firefox Town.
There are many sects here, and various forces are mixed. In order to avoid the attention of others and facilitate the concealment of their identities, the two decided to settle here first and inquire about Firefox Mountain.
Sanshan Town is the largest town within a radius of 100 miles, and it is an excellent place to find out the news.
Sanshan Town in May, the weather should be cool, but now it is extremely hot due to the changes in Firefox Mountain.
The pedestrians who came and went in a hurry were already drenched in hot sweat, Yun Feng did not feel hot because of the ancestor's green shirt and body protection, and Shui Ling'er had the cold and summer jade pendant given by the master, and it was not affected.
The two came to the largest inn in the town, and before they entered the hall, Xiao Er immediately greeted them and greeted them attentively: "The two guest officers, please, the shop has new melons, fruits and vegetables and all kinds of fresh game, I don't know if the son and the young lady want to sit upstairs in the private room or the hall?" Yun Feng has the heart to learn more information in the inn, sitting in the hall is naturally the best choice, but he still asked Shui Ling'er for advice first, and saw Shui Ling'er look like you are in charge, I don't care, and responded to Xiao Er: "The hall is fine, arrange a window seat." ”
"Okay, two guest officers, please. Xiao Er beckoned the two of them to sit down. This inn is located in the center of Sanshan Town, through the window, you can see the bustling crowd on the street, there are all kinds of hawkers, there are passers-by in a hurry, occasionally uniform costumes, surrounded by the aura of the procession passing by, and the cuffs are embroidered with the logo of the sect, which should be the cultivators of some sects.
Yun Feng has been used to being frugal since he was a child, but he just asked Xiao Er to write about the fresh melons and fruits in season, and after making a few special snacks and a pot of tea, he slowly drank tea while listening to the chatter of merchants and people in the lobby.
Although they have deliberately kept a low profile to avoid the attention of others, after all, the two of them have attracted the attention of many people, and even some people have a lewd look in their eyes when they look at Shui Ling'er.
But at this time, Shui Ling'er didn't seem to be aware, just staring at the bustling street outside the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yun Feng also relieved himself when he saw this scene, he was afraid that this eldest lady would have a temper and carry out a big killing, and when he was in the cultivation world, it was absolutely forbidden for cultivators to kill mortals indiscriminately, and the consequences would be serious and even cause the entire cultivation world to chase and kill.
Fortunately, this Shui Ling'er usually looks very bad-tempered, but in fact, she still knows how to advance and retreat in the face of major rights and wrongs.
Not far from Yunfeng's seat, there was a group of Jianghu people dressed in strong clothes, these people were uniformly dressed, but they had no spiritual power on their bodies, and they should come from some Jianghu sects in the mortal world.
I only heard a strong man with a beard at the head say roughly: I don't know what's wrong with this Fire Fox Mountain, suddenly like a big stove, the ghost weather is about to heat Lao Tzu. The man on the side chimed in,
"Yes, big brother, and I heard that there seem to be monsters in this area, we were entrusted this time to protect them to Ding'an City on the other side of Qingyuan Mountain, thousands of miles back and forth, I don't know if we will meet any monsters. The unusually strong man next to him interrupted: "It doesn't matter what kind of demons and monsters he is, I'll kill one if one comes, I'll kill one pair if I come to two, there is the eldest brother here, and there are all the brothers here, I'm afraid of him with a hammer." Come, brothers, drink. Regardless of the hot weather, everyone took a big sip of their glasses.
At this time, a short and sturdy man in the team whispered: "Big brother, when I went to inquire about the news before, I happened to hear an immortal family say that this Fire Fox Mountain seems to have a strange treasure in the world, which is why the entire mountain range is so abnormal. ”
"If there is a treasure, we brothers might as well go and see it, and maybe we can share a few cups of soup with him. ”
"Brothers, don't forget the purpose of our trip, that trading house spent a lot of money to hire us brothers, we still have to do our own work, and it's better not to get involved in the affairs of the immortals. The man at the head was thick and detailed, and hurriedly cut off the distracting thoughts of several people. Yun Feng was listening carefully to the chatter of this group of people in the rivers and lakes, and suddenly heard a commotion of the crowd at the door, as if a drunk and sloppy Taoist priest broke into the restaurant, disturbed the guests' meal, and caused the guests' dissatisfaction, Xiao Er was about to drive him out, but he didn't expect the person to glance at Yun Feng's side, and staggered over as if he was drunk. The two shopkeepers seemed to be very familiar with this sloppy Taoist priest, and they persuaded bitterly while pulling out: "I said Li Xianjia, if you raise your noble hand, just spare the small one, now there are many customers, we still have to do business, and when there are fewer people in the evening, you come again, I will definitely prepare a few pots of good wine for you." But this Taoist priest didn't seem to hear it, and continued to walk towards Yun Feng's side, the two shopkeepers couldn't pull this drunk Taoist priest no matter how hard they tried, Yun Feng frowned and opened his pupils to look at the Taoist priest, this Taoist priest was shrouded in mist, and he couldn't see whether there were spiritual power fluctuations on his body, he felt a little weird, and he should be more careful with Shui Ling'er.
Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to walk in front of Yunfeng, when he passed by the group of Jianghu people, he saw that one person deliberately stretched out one more foot and mixed with the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest was tripped directly and fell in front of the two.
Many people in the hall laughed, and the doubts in Yun Feng's heart were slightly dispelled, thinking that he might be an ordinary Taoist priest.
At that moment, he wrapped his hands to help him up, and waved his hand to the shopkeeper, who saw that they were not angry, so he didn't continue to care, and went to greet the other guests.
Yun Feng looked the Taoist priest up and down: I saw that this person was in his thirties, with a goatee, and his face was reddish like he had just drunk wine, although the whole person was extremely sloppy and dirty, but he seemed to have a good complexion.
The sloppy Taoist glanced at the two of them, and said to Yunfeng: "Thank you Shaoxia, can the old Taoist ask for a pot of wine to drink."
After speaking, he sat down opposite them politely. The table was not big, the weather was hot, and Yunfeng could even smell the sour smell of the Taoist priest, but he did not dislike it, but beckoned Xiao Er to serve a large jar of wine. Lao Dao arched his hand and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for the wine." He picked up the gourd that he had behind his back, poured most of the wine into the jar, and poured the rest into the glass on the table, and began to pour himself a drink.
After drinking three glasses of wine, the Taoist priest actually said to himself: "The wind blows chaotically, and there is no end to it, and it turns around to avoid sorrow, and suddenly the wind blows away from the earth, and it is not free to rush to provoke it." After taking a sip of wine, he said to himself: "The world is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient, the sky in Sanshan Town is about to change, and it is better to leave this place as soon as possible." With that, he drank all the wine in one gulp and left in a hurry.
