Chapter 67: That Place
When night falls, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Sometimes, Duan Qing would have a thought, whether there would be someone on the moon that seemed to be close at hand.
But so far, it is still impossible to prove, not to mention that no one has ever been, not even the power of countless monks who have soared, not even one has returned.
Neptune is like an abandoned dislike, grandma is not close, uncle is not loved, and occasionally distant relatives come to take a look, but there is garbage to dispose of.
The path under the night sky is glowing with light, like the Milky Way in the night sky, not bright, but very eye-catching.
In the night, from time to time, there are green fluorescent flashes, squirming, making people very uncomfortable, as if they are being peeped at all times, and the back of the spine is cold.
When he was on the road three days ago, Duan Qing asked questions, and the old man's answer was very simple, saying that these animals are much simpler than human minds. At this point, it was the same as Duan Qing's senses, and Duan Qing did not have any objections, which also made the old man's mind focus on the road, and other considerations were reduced by half.
Those who have the courage to rush with a large number of strangers, if they are not stunned, they are iron-headed babies, and through the previous competition, it is very likely to be the latter.
The old man's juniors didn't have any whispers about Duan Qing, and it was obvious that the old man's decision had absolute authority among these people.
But so far, the two sides have not had any exchange on surnames, and the two sides seem to have an inexplicable tacit understanding, no one mentioned it, just Xiaosu walked at night and hurried silently.
"That place is about to arrive, we have to repair it here, I don't know what the little brother has planned?" When the sky was slightly bright, the old man stopped and asked politely.
Duan Qing was looking around, and when he heard this, his eyes moved to the old man, and he replied lightly: "We have few people and few things, so we won't delay, let's go first, and it's better to rush back early." ”
"Well, we'll see you later. The old man clenched his fists slightly, and after Duan Qing said goodbye and walked more than ten steps, the old man beckoned: "Little brother, I haven't asked for the name of the honorable person, I will ...... in the future."
"Why do you have to know each other. Duan Qing smiled indifferently, revealing a line of white teeth, and then took the girl away in the rising morning glow.
"Uncle, why don't we ......" Sun Tao raised his hand and made a downward cutting motion when he spoke in a low voice.
"Do you think I don't want to do it?" The old man shook his head slightly, his name was Sun Tianyuan, he was seventy-three years old, and he was the elder of an old family in the ruins thousands of miles away.
In that war, the Sun family relied on a very strong foundation to hide the last bloodline in an extremely hidden and solid secret room, which avoided the catastrophe and multiplied to this day, although the strength of the Sun family is not as good as one-tenth of the past, it is already a leader in that area, and the family has grown to hundreds of people.
Judging by the old man's experience over the years, he felt that this pair of clear-eyed young men and women was by no means as simple as it seemed.
And in the end, he was quite surprised that when he wanted to get the other party's name through human instinct, he was quite surprised, after all, most people, after three days of common experience, can easily rise to a good feeling, at least the wariness will not be so strong.
As long as he gets the name, the old man can deduce the eight characters of his birthday, and then, he has too many means to determine the whereabouts of the other party, and even can interfere in the dark, harming people invisibly, but ......
"Uncle, this person makes me very uncomfortable. Sun Tao is still haunted by the previous palm.
The old man smiled faintly, "That's right, it means that your experience in the rivers and lakes is good, but you also have to remember one thing, the people who make you uncomfortable, one is that they feel a potential threat, and the other is from jealousy, you have to grasp your mentality, otherwise you may die at any time." ”
Sun Tao, who was exposed to his thoughts, couldn't help but turn red, he was indeed jealous, that kid was obviously no more than twenty years old, and his cultivation was stronger than his twenty-three-year-old family monk, not to mention, even his female companion killed himself in seconds, which made his superiority feel a strong blow. But he just bit his lip and didn't speak.
The old man shook his head again, "Don't think too much, just rest well, we have more important things to do." ”
Sun Tao finally turned around and looked away, but the fist that was shrunk in his sleeve was quietly clenched......
......
"Why don't you tell them their names? I'm not saying you're stingy, I just want to know why. Ding Wenwen asked.
Duan Qing smiled and said: "I once read in a book that there is a kind of monk who can even deduce most of the information he wants to know through other people's names, so walking the rivers and lakes, etiquette is important, but it is better to be vigilant against strangers." ”
"I see, I also read some of your books, but they are too obscure and slow to read. Ding Wenwen felt the need to enrich herself.
At this time, a small village appeared in sight, saying that it was a village, but in fact it was just a dozen low houses, fenced with stakes and branches, and there were figures around it, and there were people walking around the village, as if they were occupying positions, and there were also people who begged for saliva and drink.
Duan Qing and Ding Wenwen glanced at each other, and their destination arrived.
"This is the place, doesn't it look unusual?" Ding Wenwen was a little strange.
"Just go in and have a look. Duan Qing took the lead.
"Uncle, beg for saliva. Walking outside the gate of the first house, Duan Qing shouted to an old man, who squinted at Duan Qing and turned his head away expressionlessly.
Immediately, a middle-aged man ran out of the house, carrying this big black teapot and a large porcelain bowl with broken teeth in his hand, and rushed over happily: "Drink, drink, a bowl of five dollars and silver, it will definitely not be blind." ”
Duan Qing was slightly stunned, and then his eyes turned to other families selling with big teapots, and some were bargaining.
Duan Qing first paid for two bowls of water, and the old man took out a small scale, weighed the silver, and said: "Young man, look at you two young and talkative, I still have a room in this inn, if you book late, you will have to sleep in the open in the next few days, and this is not something that can be solved by thirty taels of silver." When he spoke, he looked quite proud.
As the so-called local customs, not to mention the situation here is still unclear, although Duan Qing is very confused about the scale of this "inn", but there is no nonsense, deliberately touched in a few pockets, this is the money, the middle-aged weighed is very satisfied, while leading the way and said: "I also provide storage services here, the price is very low, if it is troublesome, no matter what it is, you can rest assured that it will be kept here." ”
"It's okay, we have very little stuff. Ding Wenwen directly refused, she was indeed a little distressed, these silver can be regarded as most of Duan Qing's net worth, and there is nowhere to spend silver on weekdays, but this inn ...... Let's be an inn, it's too black-hearted.
"Come and make a record, what's your name?" the middle-aged man took something that looked like a ledger.
"Still registered?" Ding Wenwen was stunned.
"Of course, otherwise when the shopkeeper comes back, I can't tell if I can't account for it. The middle-aged man said: "Besides, when walking the rivers and lakes, what you pay attention to is a name, and only nobodies are timid to show it." I mean, you two, this won't be the first time you've been out, will you?"
Duan Qing shook his head with a smile, wrote down the names of the two, and handed them to the middle-aged.
"Enter the room on the left side of the door, don't go wrong, just shout if you need to. The middle-aged man continued to boil water with a large teapot and ignored it.
Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders slightly, and walked into the room, the light was not very good, but there was not much interference with Duan Qing at this time, he clearly saw the fairly spacious hall, only one table and two chairs, the door on the right side was open, the old man was closing the door, there was still no expression on his face, the door at the back of the hall was open, I don't know if there was anyone inside.
Such a small house is really like an inn, but the scale is condensed.
He thought easily in his heart, pushed the door and walked in, and before he could see the pattern clearly, a thick smoke suddenly appeared, and at the same time, a vicious wind sounded on his side, rushing straight to the back of his head.
