Chapter 34: The Seven Star Pavilion
In the early morning of autumn, a cool breeze hits.
Occasionally, you can hear a slight sound in the bushes such as insect chirping, a strange smell, and a strong mist.
The mountains and wilderness, the stone forest paths, gradually became clear in the lingering clouds.
There is a small forest in the north of the mountain and hill forest, at the end of the gravel path there is a post pavilion that can shelter pedestrians from the wind and rain, a dilapidated plaque in front of the stone pavilion, according to the rare "Seven Star Pavilion" three words, and in the middle of the steps, I don't know who lit a pile of grass, thick smoke curling, sparks flash and extinguish.
There were two ragged teenagers in the grass pile of the stone pavilion, staggering with their thighs crossed, their hair unkempt and their bodies scarred, so tired that they couldn't exert any strength, and they didn't even want to turn over when they lay in the grass.
"Hey, don't kick me in the ass!"
"I'll go! What are you doing with a stinky foot on my nose? I didn't kick you in the head, which already gave you face!"
The young man turned over, with a small silver ring tied around his neck, and a black light flashed away, it was Gu Qing who escaped from the smoke cave of the wicked Fengling!
"This time, we won't die, I don't know if there is a future blessing, but fortunately in Lingyan Cave, you didn't shake out the matter of the Qiankun lock!"
"I'm not stupid, I'll tell someone about this kind of thing?"
He was opened up by Thirteen Lang by chance, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful he became, no matter how powerful Senior Brother Gu's iron fist was, my True Qi Realm was one step higher than him, which provoked Lao Tzu to come up and put out the Nine Palace Sword Formation, and he could still stab him to death with a sword!
It's a pity that there are only nine fingers now...... Well, but the thumb of the left hand doesn't have any effect, and the sword escape technique doesn't need to be held and flying by yourself, right?
Gu Qing stretched his waist, and the two brothers walked from Beihai to the direction of Xuanling City, running all the way and tired, this sleep greatly replenished their vitality, and they slept very comfortably.
As long as you arrive at Xuanling City, Yanyang Village is close in front of you, and I don't know how many people are still in the village, if you can meet people from the Flying Marmoset tribe along the way, you will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of your mother.
Gu Qing walked to the steps of the pavilion gate, the pile of scattered grass had already burned to ashes, only a few scattered sparks remained, and a faint light smoke curled up, occasionally crackling.
He left the stone pavilion straight away, went to the mountains and forests to pick wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, looked for spring water to quench his thirst, and after a while, he held a few mountain pears and wild fruits, and returned to the stone pavilion with a stone bowl full of water.
This stone bowl is just a piece of bluestone on the side of the road, Gu Qing smashed it down with an iron fist, and the stone immediately collapsed into a big hole, and the gravel turned into powder, but the stone did not crack, he had already tried it in the Jinguang Cave, and it was just right to hold water.
Bai Xingchen was surprised and surprised in his heart, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Gu's fists are superb, you will come to rub the millet flour for me during the New Year's holidays in the future, and the steamed rice steamed buns will definitely be soft and delicious, which is endlessly memorable!"
Gu Qing glared at him, and suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the distance of the stone pavilion.
In front of three people and three horses, the back is unhurried followed by three light carriages, from far to near, only more than a mile away from the stone pavilion.
"Senior brother, are you from the Flying Tamarin Clan? Hurry up and ask Yanyang Village how to go. ”
The two brothers are both Xuanmen disciples who have opened the Heavenly Aperture, they listen to all directions, their eyes look at the six roads, and they can't hide anything from them within a few miles.
"No, the Marmosets never ride horses. Gu Qing shook his head.
"Why?"
Of course, Bai Xingchen didn't understand, because the flying marmosets ran faster than horses.
Gu Qing frowned, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that there are very few clansmen in the Xingzhu tribe who can ride horses, except for the Kuoma clan in Yunli City in the south...... However, the tribes of the Four Star Cities never dared to interact without permission, if they were really from the Horse Clan, what were they doing in the north?"
"Can't you go to relatives?"
"Relatives?"
"Yes, aren't you flying marmosets monkeys? So what's the name of the saying? Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, of course your monkey and horse are relatives!Hahaha!" Bai Xingchen rolled around in the haystack, laughing heartily.
Gu Qing rolled her eyes.
Suddenly, I heard someone outside shouting loudly: "Ouch, big brother! As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there are post pavilions everywhere in Xingmang, should we go in and rest for a while?"
They came so fast!
Bai Xingchen immediately shut up and looked around the stone pavilion, there was no hiding place.
"Xuanling City is in front, if you are tired of my brother to find a good place for you to rest in the city, this pavilion is dilapidated, staining your new clothes, Xiao Pepper's eyes are glaring, I can't bear it! Haha, ha!"
This person's voice is like a bell, his laughter is bold, and he seems to be full of real power, although he is far from the surging aura of Xuanmen, but the kung fu of the inner family is not weak.
I only heard a few people outside clapping their hands and laughing, and in a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the door of the stone pavilion.
"This stone pavilion seems to have been deserted for a long time, and it is ventilated on all sides, and there are still people who have lit the grass here? Huh? The smell of this grass is different from our hometown, it is simply unheard of......
"Third brother, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Xingmang is full of post pavilions, this sentence is not wrong, but this 'unheard-of' is said by you, it always feels awkward!"
"Why is it awkward? These four words mean that I have never smelled it, so why not? Why don't you bring some grass back to Xiao and Xiao Pepper and smell it, and I'll see if she is frightened or obscure!"
The two outside the door laughed, and they had already entered the stone pavilion.
The three men in short suits, each with a white strip of cloth tied to the top of their heads, with a crown of thorns woven with vine leaves, and a pair of animal skin boots tied to each of their feet, came in with a smile on their faces.
One of them was a burly man, with piercing eyes, a beard on his face, like countless steel needles piercing his face, and next to him was a personable scholar with a thin appearance. The other person was wearing a light blue silk cloth shirt, the fabric was soft, clean and tidy, and it was really new clothes!
He wore a white cloth belt around his waist, and eight short spears were stuck diagonally, divided into two rows, each to the left and right of his waist.
Xuanling City is a hundred miles within a radius of rare people.
In the stone pavilion, two dirty teenagers appeared, dressed in shabby clothes, with sunken eyes, rolling their eyes, and looking dying, as if they had been hungry for seventeen or eighteen days, and could no longer support them.
The bearded man hurriedly stepped forward to check, touched the snort of the two, pinched Bai Xingchen's pulse with his fingers, and was taken aback: "Why can't you feel the pulse?"
He pinched Gu Qing's wrist again, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Why is this pulse so chaotic?"
"The two young men were fair-skinned, not like people from the local tribe. The weak scholar frowned beside him.
Do you think I don't want to bask in the sun? Squatting in a dark cave all day, throwing you into it, you're as white as me!
Gu Qing pretended to be unable to bear the pain and snorted a few times.
"Third brother, go to the car and get some dry food, they are probably hungry like this. ”
The cheeky man saw that the two strangers in front of him were full of heaven, and their aura was different from ordinary people, and they looked like a Xuanmen ascetic, and he secretly doubted in his heart.
After a while, the blue-shirted guy took a cloth bag, took out a few rice crackers, helped Gu Qing and Bai Xingchen up one by one, leaned against the haystack, and then mashed the dry food in a wooden bowl, wanting to feed the two of them with water, when suddenly he heard a chuckle in his ears, he was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked around, not knowing where the sound came from.
He was puzzled and muttered: "I used to listen to all directions, could it be that I just filled my ears with double beads? They often say that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and it seems to be good!"
The blue-shirted guy held Bai Xingchen's head, fed the dry food mixed with water into his mouth, and turned around to get the dry food in the cloth bag, but the cloth bag was held in Gu Qing's hand, biting the rice crackers in his mouth, gobbling it up, it is estimated that he smelled the fragrance, and he couldn't help it.
The blue-shirted guy smiled: "Sure enough, it's the reincarnation of a hungry ghost!"
"As the saying goes, under the bait, there must be dead fish! This rice cake is crisp and sweet, even if you want to be reincarnated, it is best to go to your family! That is really the ancestor to accumulate virtue, what a great honor!" Gu Qing imitated the tone of the blue-shirted guy and spoke, learning vividly.
"Forget it, you can leave a few pieces for me, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for your ancestors!" Bai Xingchen snatched the cloth bag and hurriedly stuffed the dry food rice cakes into his mouth, refusing to let go of even the broken pieces.
The cheeky man's essence flashed, and he looked at the two of them a few more times on the side, and said with a smile: "Where do the two little brothers come from? Where are you going?"
Gu Qing saw that there was no fierce look in the facial features of these three people, and he was willing to help the stranger who was in distress on the side of the road, and he didn't feel like a bad person, so he stopped beating around the bush and said solemnly: "Go to Xuanling City, the same different way?"
The blue-shirted guy nodded and said seriously, "Of course we are on the same road! The three of us brothers are about to go to Xuanling City." ”
The weak scholar was quite vigilant, smiled slightly, and said, "The two little brothers don't seem to be from Xuanling City. ”
"Why not? We are from Yanyang Village, Flying Marmoset. Gu Qing glared at him.
The cheeky man's eyes rolled and said, "I have known several masters of Cangji Cave Heaven for a long time, and I think the two of them seem to be cultivators of the Xuanmen, I don't know where the treasure land is?"
Gu Qing was taken aback, this person's eyesight is so powerful? Thinking about it, there are countless people in the Xingzhu tribe who advocate the immortal way, and young immortal teams like the Flying Marmoset clan abound, and it is not surprising that the Xuanmen temperament can be seen through at a glance.
"Beihai blessed land, Jinguang Cave Rainbow Gate!" Bai Xingchen was eating with relish and blurted out.
The master of Xuanmen of Mount Meru is practicing in the Golden Light Cave of the North Sea, and there are very few people who know about it on the Xingmang Continent, if he makes it up randomly, he may not be able to deceive him, and Bai Xingchen does not know where the Golden Light Cave is, even if he says it, don't worry, anyway, tell the truth.
Sure enough, the cheeky man was confused, and he didn't want to be underestimated by the young man, so he laughed and said, "It turned out to be the Rainbow Sect on the coast of the North Sea, although it is not among the four holy places, but its reputation is also very loud!"
It's pretty loud, I don't think you even know which direction it is!
Gu Qing was secretly amused in his heart, and looked up and saw three carriages outside the stone pavilion, and the carriages were full of bags of cloth and silk sacks, not to mention forty or fifty pieces, why did he listen to the sound of the wooden wheels turning just now, and there was no weight at all, what were in these sacks?
The weak scholar saw Gu Qing's thoughts, and said politely: "Since the two little brothers are going to Xuanling City, why don't you follow us on the road, sit in the mellow and fragrant tea bag, and the journey is extremely comfortable." ”
Tea bags?
It turned out that these three people were actually tea merchants.
