Volume 1 Chapter 36 The Faceless Woman
Chapter 36: The Faceless Woman
"I saw that the woman turned her face, and it was actually a face like a blank piece of paper, a face with no facial features!" Hu Jian told his story vividly, and a group of people surrounded him, Aman snuggled tightly in Qi Nanfeng's arms, and Qi Nanfeng grabbed Ma Xie's arm tightly, and the tighter he gripped it.
"Hahaha, look at you one by one, I've heard this story told by Boss Hu 800 times, and it doesn't scare me at all. Hou Zuiliu canceled everyone, but was unanimously looked at by everyone.
"It's your turn to watch tonight, hurry up, we're going to sleep." Hu Jian said with bad intentions, because the atmosphere that was finally created was ruined by this Hou Zuiliu.
Hou Zuiliu had no choice but to carry the lamp and walk up the hill behind him, and his mouth was still babbling: "A group of cowards, obviously they are so scared that they don't dare to patrol the night, what is my turn, as soon as I tell ghost stories, it will be my turn!"
Behind the caravan was a small hill, and as long as you stood on the hill, you could see the situation around it clearly. Although it is far from the north, there are few horse bandits, but just in case, to prevent some small people from committing theft, a few people will take turns on duty every night.
Hou Zuiliu leaned against a tree, staring boredly at the empty road.
"It's really boring, when will I be able to see the power of the dragon slayer with my own eyes? I heard that they can go to the sky and enter the sea, swallow fire and water, and really look like immortals! It's a pity that I can't practice, otherwise I will definitely go to every part of this continent!" Hou Zuiliu thought like this, and gradually appeared in his mind that he had become a peerless dragon slayer in the world, stepping on a mountain formed by the corpses of various strange beasts, and was worshiped by tens of thousands of people.
Just when he imagined the most crucial moment, a dark shadow appeared in front of the convoy.
The black shadow first probed around the convoy, saw that there was no movement, and slowly got closer, and then became emboldened, and carefully probed around the convoy's goods.
Hou Zuiliu's spirit suddenly gathered, and he looked at the black shadow, not like a wild dog or wolf, but like a person.
"Hey, little thief. Hou Zuiliu laughed secretly in his heart, there was really a thief to steal things.
Hou Zuiliu didn't startle the snake, he walked down the mountain with his waist bent, wanting to catch this thief in one fell swoop.
Approaching this dark night little by little, a cold sweat also formed in Hou Zuiliu's hands, and the black shadow obviously hadn't noticed him yet, and was hovering in front of the bag where the food was stored.
Hou Zuiliu didn't hesitate any longer, he strode forward, and put his hand on the shoulder of the black shadow: "Bold! ”
The black shadow was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that there were still people staring at him in the dark, Hou Zuiliu used his strength to pull the black shadow, and the black shadow took advantage of the situation and turned around.
At this moment, the bright moon is hanging high, and the moonlight will shine on the earth snow-white, but the face of this black shadow is whiter than the earth, not only white, but also glowing with silver light, and the face of this black shadow has no facial features like the story told by Hu Jian!
Hou Zuiliu screamed in fright, retreated and fell to the ground, and the black shadow took the opportunity to escape.
Everyone woke up to Hou Zuiliu's screams, and when they ran over, they found that Hou Zuiliu was sitting on the ground, his face pale, and the bag of water and dry food had been turned over.
"What's going on?" Hu Jian came over and smelled.
"Faceless woman! there really is a faceless woman!" Hou Zuiliu shouted as he shook his head, obviously frightened.
"Wine!Hurry up and bring the wine!" shouted Hu Jian.
The cook of the caravan hastened to find a gourd from a bag on a horse, filled with spirits. Hu Jian poured the liquor from Hou Zuiliu's mouth, Hou Zuiliu first choked on a sip, and then snatched the gourd and drank it in a big gulp.
“...... Ah......h
He looked at the people around him, and gradually understood what had just happened, he relieved his breath and said seriously: "I really saw the faceless woman, there was nothing on her face, glowing with silver light, rummaging through our goods!"
"Why, didn't she ask you to borrow her face?" someone quipped, and then everyone laughed, obviously not believing that there really was a faceless woman.
Hu Jian stopped everyone and began to organize everyone to check things, only to find that nothing was missing except for two pieces of dry food.
"I guess it's a hungry outcast!" Hu Jian concluded that Hou Zuiliuye had been shouting that he was not mistaken.
In order to prevent anyone from stealing again, Hu Jian decided to send two people to patrol the night at the same time.
Ma Xie Fang has been silent, he faintly feels that there must be something strange in this, Hou Zuiliu repeatedly claimed that he was not mistaken, and he picked up a palm-sized round token on the ground, with the word "Wu" written on it.
But nothing happened until dawn, and as soon as dawn came, the caravan was ready to move on. Hu Jian's destination was the royal city "Yicheng", and Ma Xie was going to Tianwu City, so they said goodbye at a fork in the road and agreed to meet again in Yicheng in the future.
Now there are three people left, Ma Xie, Qi Nanfeng and Aman, leaving the bearded Hu Jian, Aman has been a little sullen, and there are a lot less words on the road, Qi Nanfeng knows in his heart that Aman is reluctant to give up this beard, so he has to promise to take Aman to the royal capital as soon as the matter of Tianwu City is over.
Ma Xie also felt a little guilty, he and Qi Nanfeng were almost adults, they had the right to choose to act, but Aman was still young, so he could only follow them around, and it was dangerous to go to Tianwu Sect this time, in case Aman was in danger, Ma Xie didn't know how to face Qi Nanfeng.
"You don't have to worry about Aman. Qi Nanfeng said: "Aman is just unhappy for a while, he knows what we are going to do, Aman is more sensible than you think, isn't he?"
Aman nodded: "I want to avenge Master Mu!"
Ma Xie looked at Aman's serious smile, relieved his heart, and began to discuss a plan for revenge with Qi Nanfeng.
"I think you still have to sneak into the Tianwu Sect, and I'll take Aman to find some errand near the Tianwu Sect, so that your actions will be convenient, Aman and I can't enter the Tianwu Sect, you won't be suspected if you go in alone, and we can also help you find out information outside, you don't know anything about the Tianwu Sect now, you have to sneak in, fortunately, Master Mu has been out there for many years, and no one knows that you are his disciple." ”
Ma Xie nodded, although he didn't want to join the Heavenly Martial Sect, the current situation could only be like this, unless that Ye Shiqi could provide him with enough help.
"Someone seems to be following us behind?" Qi Nanfeng said suddenly.
"Since we separated from Brother Hu, I have been following us, don't worry about him, he is a third-rate martial artist, there is no big problem. Ma Xie is calm, if the guess is correct, the person behind him is the "faceless girl" last night.
