Chapter 228: Rock Star Mountain
After leaving Suidu for more than seven months, Kong Rui and Su Yun finally saw a boundary card with "Three Big Characters of Jiatang Prefecture" written on it. As soon as the two children saw the boundary of Jiatang Prefecture that they had entered, they were extremely excited, and hurriedly asked passers-by about the address of Jixing Mountain where the sect of Wuxuanzong was located, but they were disappointed, and no one knew about it all afternoon.
Kong Rui and Su Yun had no choice but to find an inn to settle down, and began to discuss how to find a specific address. Su Yun thought that he might be able to go to some small sects, after all, there might be cultivators among them, and it would be easy to find them if anyone knew, but Kong Rui had always kept in mind that Lin Wen often told him stories about some sect discord, and if he accidentally asked the opponent of Wuxuanzong, it would be ugly.
Kong Rui and Su Yun discussed for a long time, and finally thought that a big sect like Wu Xuanzong would definitely be above the mountains and rivers. The two of them came from the east, but they didn't see any big mountains in Jiatang Prefecture, so they should continue to go west and try their luck along the mountains.
Early the next morning, Kong Rui and Su Yun asked the shopkeeper about the big mountain range near Jiatang Prefecture, and when the shopkeeper heard it, his face changed a little, and he said: "On the west boundary of Jiatang Prefecture, there is a large mountain range, and the radius may be tens of thousands of miles. It's just that the mountain is not very peaceful, I heard that it is often haunted, you two little dolls are asking about this, what are you two little dolls doing here?"
As soon as Kong Rui and Su Yun heard this, they knew that this was where they were going, and they were overjoyed in their hearts, and hurriedly said to the shopkeeper: "We just ask casually, thank you, shopkeeper." After saying that, the two of them went out hand in hand.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said to himself: "The little doll now, I really can't understand it." ”
Kong Rui and Su Yun walked for another day, and saw a vast mountain in the distance, with mountains and mountains, and further down there was a fog, as if there was an indescribable strangeness in it, and there were fewer and fewer farmers on both sides of the road.
When the two children saw that the sun had gone down and that there was a small village in front of them, they prepared to spend the night.
Kong Rui and Su Yun came all the way and were already very experienced in staying overnight, but the two of them were dumbfounded when they walked into the village. Although the sun had set, it was still early and it was not dark, but every house in the village closed early, and occasionally a dog barked or two, but there was not a single person or domestic animal in the streets of the village.
The two children felt very strange and were about to find a farmer to knock on the door, Su Yun's eyes were sharp, and she saw a small hotel door still open on the side of the road from a distance, and she didn't know if it was the shopkeeper or the guy who was packing up and preparing to close.
Su Yun hurriedly pulled Kong Rui and ran over, and greeted him repeatedly: "Uncle shopkeeper, uncle shopkeeper." When the man heard the shout, he stopped what he was doing, looked up, and thought: "These two little ones are still very polite."
Kong Rui and Su Yun hurriedly ran into the store and saw that the man was about forty years old, and he looked ordinary, but his right leg was a little lame. Kong Rui asked, "Uncle Shopkeeper, is it possible to stay here?"
The cripple said: "The small shop is only for business during the day, and cannot stay overnight." ”
Kong Rui hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and said: "Uncle shopkeeper, our brother and sister are going to join their relatives, and it is getting late when we pass by here, can you let us stay here for one night?"
The cripple said, "Join the family, there is no way forward, where are you going?"
Kong Rui saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said honestly: "We want to find Wuxuanzong, but we don't know where it is, so we want to look for the past all the way along the mountain." ”
The cripple asked, "What are you going to do in Wuxuanzong?"
Kong Rui was shocked in his heart, worried that he would run into Wuxuanzong's opponent, so he said vaguely: "We are looking for someone." ”
After a little observation, the cripple knew that Kong Ruiyan was insincere, but he didn't take the two children seriously, so he said: "It's okay to stay overnight, but there is no extra house, so you can only stay in this shop." ”
Kong Rui and Su Yun were overjoyed, hurriedly thanked them, and also helped finish the lame guy, then closed the door to cook and prepared to rest.
Kong Rui has helped his parents at home since he was a child, and along the way, when he slept in the wilderness, he also caught some hares and pheasants to roast and eat, and the barbecue skills were already quite extraordinary, and there was roasted game in his bag, which he immediately took out to share with the cripple.
The cripple praised the taste of the barbecue, but never asked anything else.
Su Yun was curious, so she asked the cripple, "Uncle shopkeeper, why is it closed so early?"
The cripple smiled: "It's haunted around here, so everyone doesn't dare to go out at night and goes to bed early." ”
Kong Rui interjected: "If it's haunted, it's useless to go to bed early!"
The cripple glanced at Kong Rui and said, "Little guy, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
Kong Rui heard Lin Wen tell him before that he was afraid of ghosts when there were ghosts in his heart, so he said, "I have ghosts in my heart, why should I be afraid of ghosts?"
Su Yun was a little girl, she had seen something strange just now, and she heard the two of them talking about ghosts, so she quickly interrupted them and said something else.
At night, the cripple brought them a thin quilt, and Kong Rui moved the bench and set it up, spread the quilt and let Su Yun sleep first, and lay down on two tables with his clothes.
Su Yun was a little scared when she heard them talk about ghosts just now, so she pulled Kong Rui to chat, the two chatted about some things in the mine valley, and then talked about Lin Wen, and after chatting for a while, they fell asleep in a daze.
Early the next morning, Kong Rui and Su Yun said goodbye to the cripple and prepared to enter the mountain. The cripple said: "If you want to go to Xuanzong, this is it, do you have a token?"
Kong Rui and Su Yun were taken aback, glanced at each other, and both thought that Lin Wen's token had been lost in the tailor's shop on Xiaobei Street in Suidu, so they hesitated: "We don't have a token." ”
The cripple said, "How can you get it without a token?"
Kong Rui suddenly remembered the storage bag that Lin Wen gave him, and hurriedly reached into his arms, carefully touched the storage bag, handed it to the cripple, and asked, "Is this a token?"
The cripple stretched out his hand to take a look, and saw that there was a mark of Wuxuanzong on it, and his divine sense swept the inside of the storage bag, and saw that there were some silver coins, several spars and some medicinal materials, and a round bead that could not be called, and there were some other things, but they were all commonly used by the disciples of Wuxuanzong, so he reached out and returned the storage bag to Kong Rui, and said: "This is okay, I can teleport you to Wuxuanzong, and there will naturally be someone there to receive you, and what do you have to say to them." ”
Kong Rui and Su Yun were pleasantly surprised, looking at each other and crying, since they escaped from the mine valley, the two of them have gone through a lot of hardships and dangers, and it took them ten months to get here, thinking that they would continue to search, and they didn't want to arrive so soon.
