Chapter 49: Heavy
When it was almost dark, Gu Liutong came back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sound of him pushing the door woke up Su Bei, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and doing exercises, he slowly collected the exercises, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Liutong standing in front of the window with his arms crossed, looking at the brightly lit Fuhuafang City outside the window, Rhubarb squatted in front of him, staring at him intently with his ears up, it seemed that as long as Gu Liutong approached, it would not hesitate to pounce on him and bite him to death.
"Senior Brother Gu, you're back, what did you find?"
Gu Liutong glanced back at him, his expression was extremely solemn, "Anyway, it's not good news." ”
Su Bei got up and rubbed Rhubarb's head, walked to the coffee table, lifted the teapot and poured two cups of tea, and handed Gu Liutong a cup, "How bad is it?"
Gu Liutong took the teacup, didn't drink it, slowly shook the teacup and said, "All the big businesses in Fang City have been robbed and killed. ”
"Oh", Su Bei replied dryly, with no surprised expression on his face...... He didn't know how powerful those firms were, and he was surprised.
Gu Liutong guessed Su Bei's thoughts, but he didn't mean to elaborate on them, just mentioned, "I don't know if I'm thinking too much, I always feel that this matter is a little strange?"
"What's the matter?"
Gu Liutong frowned when he spoke, and there were doubts in his eyes, obviously he himself was not sure, "Those businesses that were robbed and killed have all dealt with me. ”
Su Bei scratched the back of his head: "What do you mean?"
Gu Liutong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said softly without self-deprecation: "It should be that I think too much, maybe it's just a coincidence, how can such a big stroke come at me, I have such a big face." ”
Su Bei still didn't quite understand, but Gu Liutong himself said that he was thinking too much, so he didn't bother to use his brain, "Senior Brother Gu, didn't you say that you were going to take me out for a walk this morning?"
Gu Liutong slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, I forgot about it when I got busy, let's go, the night market in Fuhuafang City is more lively than during the day." ”
......
In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Jiang Sanchun, Su Bei, Da Huang, and Gu Liutong met the other three iron-level worshippers who participated in this escort mission: a handsome man with a long sword and a blue robe, a beautiful woman who also carried a long sword and a blue robe, and a tall old man in Mai who held a thick black staff with a bowl mouth.
"Gu Worship, do you know all three of them?" Jiang Sanchun made a gesture of invitation to Gu Liutong with a smile on his face.
When Gu Liutong saw these three people, there was also surprise in his eyes, "It turned out to be Yunfeng Mountain Sage and Old Man Zhou, I knew that this mission was for you to participate, so I didn't have to worry about it all night." ”
It seems to be an acquaintance.
When the three of them saw Gu Liutong, they all smiled and bowed their hands to each other.
"Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
"You little doll is not authentic, I went to my Zhou house as a guest after the last mission, and I didn't look at you when I went home to see through the autumn water, old man. ”
Gu Liutong smiled and bowed back: "It's been good lately...... Isn't this the time to bother your old man lately? Why, there is so much fire wine in your house that there is no place to put it, so I have to come to your door and destroy some of it?"
The old man in linen, who was called the old man of Zhou by Gu Liutong, scolded with a black cane of Panlong: "Go and go, I have long known that your doll has more eyes than a hornet's nest, and I am thinking about the two cylinders of fire wine in my house all day long!"
Seeing this, Jiang Sanchun smiled and said goodbye, "A few of them are acquaintances, and the small ones don't bother much, and they will set off on time at two o'clock." ”
A few people nodded, "Go and be busy, go and be busy." ”
After Jiang Sanchun left, Old Man Zhou's eyes fell on Su Bei's body, "Who is this?"
Gu Liutong hurriedly introduced: "Let me introduce, this is my junior brother Su Bei, senior brother Su, these two are the Qu Gao of Yunfeng Mountain, Yun Yaoxian and his wife, both of them are sword cultivators, and they have a set of exquisite joint fencing skills, with two enemies and one, there are few opponents under the Xuan; this is the great elder of the Zhou family in Donghu, the old man Zhou Taizhou, his old man is one of the few physical cultivators in our Lingbei, and the three of them are all famous figures in our Lingbei True Self monk circle, and you will be close to them in the future, and you will have your benefits...... Three, my junior brother Su is a fledgling, and he doesn't understand the world, and I will bother you to take care of it in the future!"
Su Bei stepped forward to greet him: "Hello brother and sister, Grandpa Zhou, my name is Su Bei." ”
"Poof......" Yun Yao laughed out loud on the spot, and after feeling a little rude, she hurriedly covered her mouth, but her petite body still kept shaking, and Qu Gao and Zhou Tai next to her couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Tai smiled with a mouthful of leaky teeth: "Gu Doll, who is this little guy? Didn't the adults of his family teach him how to greet the monks?"
Gu Liutong is a black line, "Yun Yao, don't laugh...... What's so strange that my Senior Brother Su is still young, so I don't understand this? Do you think everyone is like you, and there are a large group of monks who have been waiting to learn the rules of the cultivation world all their lives?"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. Yun Yao pursed her lips and forcibly suppressed a smile, "But I said Gu Daoyou, if it is usual, you will lead Junior Brother Su to go through the motions and get some spirit stones, we don't need to tell you how dangerous this mission is, do you want to tell you?"
It was Yun Yao who was asking, but Qu Gao and Zhou Tai both gave them inquiring looks, obviously this was what they wanted to ask.
Gu Liutong's gaze wandered around between Subei and Rhubarb, and his heart said that Senior Brother Su had not yet advanced to the true self, and it was indeed a little early to break into the cultivation world, "You guys don't have to worry about this? Is it difficult for me to hurt my own junior brother Gu Liutong?" There are some things that I can't say, but I'll leave the words here, if this mission really goes wrong, several of us may encounter danger, but my Senior Brother Su won't!"
These words have the element of lifting up northern Jiangsu, and there are also some sincere words in it...... He witnessed the scene when Prince Dan, who had been fighting with him for decades, was seriously injured and vomited blood by the three paws of Rhubarb!
Qu Gao, Yun Yao and Zhou Tai obviously didn't believe it, the three of them were all masters of the Dragon Realm, so they could naturally see at a glance that Subei was only an innate realm, and even if a martial artist who couldn't even be considered a monk had some powerful secret method or magic weapon, how powerful could he be?
But since Gu Liutong had already said so, they wouldn't ask any more...... Respecting other people's privacy is the biggest principle for monks to get along with each other, and the three of them have been in the cultivation world for many years, so naturally they won't even know this, anyway, if Subei can't show the strength to make them recognize and respect, they won't treat Subei as a companion.
From beginning to end, the eyes of the three of them did not stop on the rhubarb squatting at the feet of Subei, although they were also curious about what Gu Liutong was doing with a big wolf dog, but they all believed in their own vision, that is, a big wolf dog in Kyushu that could be seen everywhere...... It would be strange if they could really see something, thinking that Su Qingxuan was feeding Rhubarb pills and carefully observing Rhubarb's body with Zhenyuan, but he didn't find the slightest peculiarity in Rhubarb's body!
Either way, it's an acquaintance.
Gu Liutong and they were old acquaintances, and after greetings, they sat together and enthusiastically exchanged their respective cultivation experiences, Su Bei sat next to him with Rhubarb in his arms and listened for a while, feeling that he couldn't understand in the clouds, so he could only look left and right boredly, "Senior Brother Gu, what is their caravan of the Ten Thousand Demon Building escorting this time?"
Gu Liutong replied: "I don't know either." ”
After a pause, he added: "Senior brother, those of us who do offerings can't find out what the goods are transported by the master's family, and it is taboo. ”
Su Bei nodded as if he didn't understand.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that Subei finally saw the caravan they were going to escort on this trip at the back door of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower: a row of carriages covered with black cloth, there were dozens of them, and there were nearly 100 innate warriors who led the horses and drove the horses bare.
In addition to the congenital warriors who led the horses and drove the horses, there were more than ten people in northern Jiangsu who couldn't see through, all wearing black beast pattern heavy armor, holding swords and bows, standing in all directions of the caravan, especially striking was the fierce giant man standing at the front of the caravan who was nearly a foot tall, with a waist circumference of several feet, his face was covered with strange black lines, and his eyes were faintly flashing with blood, which was simply a humanoid beast!
Shopkeeper Hu personally sent them to the gate of Fang City, and before leaving, he shook them to the end, "Everyone, this batch of goods must not go wrong...... Please!"
This time, the leader of the five of them was Gu Liutong, and he also saluted and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, please rest assured, we will escort the caravan to Lieshanfang City safely." ”
Shopkeeper Hu nodded and said again, "Please!"
Gu Liutong nodded, turned his head and shouted to the giant man in front of the caravan: "Xiang Commander, let's go!"
The giant man nodded at Gu Liutong, turned around and waved his hand, and the huge caravan immediately moved slowly, and the stainless steel wheels of the carriage pressed against the bluestone street, making a squeaky noise.
Gu Liutong led Su Bei and Rhubarb to sit in one or two carriages in the middle of the caravan at will, while Zhou Tai was a flying body and landed on one or two carriages at the front of the caravan, and Qu Gao and Yun Yao fell on the carriage at the back of the caravan.
The group did not go through any consultation in advance, and divided the work on their own, and it can be seen that they are all veterans.
Out of the city of Fuhuafang, the caravan turned south, accelerated the speed and ran, it didn't take long to reach the edge of the Fuhua Island, Su Bei was thinking about how the caravan should cross the lake, then he saw the giant man leading the way in front of him pulling the leader's fart to the lake, and then Su Bei suddenly opened his eyes: these horses pulling carts in the caravan can actually tread water!
"Don't look at it, these are xenomorph dragon horses, born to tread water. Gu Liutong caught a glimpse of Su Bei staring at the horses with a stunned expression, and explained to him with a smile.
"Huh?" Su Bei wasn't the rookie who couldn't even remember the cultivation realm at the beginning, and asked in surprise when he heard this: "Doesn't the book say that xenomorph demon beasts are very rare?
Gu Liutong pouted, "You're talking about xenomorph demon beasts, these dragon horses, aren't xenomorph demon beasts?"
It's not for a while, and Su Bei is a little confused, "Didn't you just say that these are xenomorph dragon horses, why aren't they xenomorph demon beasts?"
Gu Liutong didn't know how to explain to him, and thought for a long time before saying: "Let's put it this way, the alien demon beast is wild, it is a beast that is born to awaken the bloodline of the ancestors, it is a demon, and these dragon horses are bred and cultivated in captivity by the great sects and great families, although they have the blood of dragon horses in their bodies, they are not demons, at best they can only be regarded as domestic animals and livestock...... Do you understand that?"
Su Beiming understood, but for some reason, his mood suddenly became a little heavy.
