Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Ascending Immortal Inn
After about a meal, Yunkong and the others finally caught up with the carriage carrying the little marquis. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The carriage had stopped, and the horses pulling it were still stirring their hooves with some restlessness.
Yunkong, who turned over and dismounted with Xue'er, just approached the carriage, and clearly smelled a strong smell of blood escaping from the carriage.
Yun Kong's slightly frowning footsteps stopped, he could already imagine the end of the little marquis in the carriage.
"Little Hou Ye!" Xue'er, who hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain of the carriage, let out a terrible cry from her mouth, and instantly her delicate body stiffened and suddenly raised her head and fell backwards, and she was already in a pale coma.
Yunkong, who was busy stepping forward to support her, looked into the carriage through the curtain of the carriage that had not yet completely fallen, and saw that the little marquis in the gorgeous carriage was already staring on his back, his eyes were full of horror, his clothes were half-dissolved, his entire chest was bloody, and the internal organs in it were completely hollowed out, looking extremely terrifying.
"Brother Yun, what's the situation?" Pang Yong, Bai Shuzi, Liu Yiweng and others all rode up to catch up, and Pang Yong was the first to jump off his horse and hurriedly asked.
Some of the staring eyebrows that couldn't bear to look directly closed their eyes slightly, turned their heads to the clouds, didn't say anything, just hugged Xue'er and left the carriage.
"This.." Pang Yong, who couldn't help frowning and stepped forward to lift the curtain of the carriage, looked inside, and his eyes were also slightly stiff.
Bai Shuzi and Liu Yiweng, who were curious and then came over, were silent when they saw the picture in the carriage.
Vomit.. Bai Shuzi, who reacted quickly, couldn't help but turn around and vomited with a pale face.
"It seems that they are really a group of weasels! specializing in this kind of stealing chickens and touching dogs," Liu Yiweng shook his head slightly and sighed: "These weasels actually specially took out the five organs of the little marquis." ”
Even Pang Yong, who was accustomed to seeing killing, gritted his teeth with a not very good-looking face at this time: "Bastard! These brutes are really too much." ”
"It's nothing too much, it's just that the weak eat the strong," Yunkong, who was holding Xue'er, looked up at the dark night sky in the distance and said indifferently: "Human beings feed on birds and beasts, and once birds and beasts become climates and turn into demons, what's so strange about feeding on humans? People can become monks, and birds and beasts can also become monsters." It seems that our trip to Ascending Immortal City this time is far more thrilling than we imagined!"
Liu Yiweng said solemnly: "That's right, those weasels should be just ordinary demons, comparable to monks who have just stepped into the threshold of cultivating immortals." However, they come and go without a trace, and they are good at sneak attacks, if it weren't for Brother Yun's timely discovery, I'm afraid that we would all be killed tonight. We don't know how many of these weasels there are, or if they were just tentative attacks before. Let's keep going, the road ahead is worrying!"
"Hmph, no matter how cunning you are, it's just a bunch of brutes, are we still afraid?" Pang Yong snorted coldly.
"I'm afraid it's not like that, but we all have to be more careful in the future," Yunkong said: "After all, we don't know anything about the situation in front of us, and we don't even know how far we are from Ascending Immortal City." ”
Bai Shuzi, whose face was slightly pale, couldn't help but worry at this moment: "Brother Yun, if there are more powerful demon clans among these weasels, then let's continue to hurry, won't we be sheep in the tiger's mouth?"
"Otherwise, now go back? We're going to Ascend to Immortal City, and we want to take the path of cultivating immortals. If this danger is scared and retreats, what qualifications do you have to cultivate immortals?" Yunkong said and couldn't help but shake his head: "Before, they were also caught off guard by a sneak attack. As long as we are careful, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Pang Yong nodded and said: "That's right! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, even if there are really more powerful demons, we are not completely without the strength to fight." ”
After such a change, the sky brightened up without further ado.
There was a new tomb on the wasteland, and Cher had woken up and was kneeling in front of the tomb, her eyes red.
"In the mortal world, how can he say that he is also a little marquis, prosperous and wealthy, with no worries about food and clothing, why bother to take this unpredictable road of cultivating immortals? Now that the immortals have not been cultivated, they have become dry bones on the side of the road first," Liu Yiweng looked at the tomb and shook his head and sighed lightly.
Pang Yong on the side said: "This little marquis is dead, and someone will set up a grave for him." However, last night, all of his guards were probably dead. Ordinary people are like ants, how lowly life is! Old man Liu, don't talk about others, you are so old, why do you still want to take this path of cultivating immortals?"
"The older people get, the more afraid they are of death!" Liu Yiweng laughed bitterly at himself: "Anyway, it's an old bone, since you can have this opportunity, it can be regarded as a crazy old man! Even if you die, there is no regret." However, if I had succeeded and stepped into the world of true monks, perhaps my old life would not have died so easily. If you can live for another hundred years and a thousand years, won't you make money?"
"Haha.. Old man Liu, you can see it!" Pang Yong couldn't help laughing: "However, you still want to live for another hundred years and a thousand years, don't you think too beautifully? ”
Looking at Pang Yong, who was laughing wantonly, Yunkong couldn't help but say a little helplessly: "Okay, Brother Pang, Xue'er is still sad!"
"What are you sad about?" Pang Yong glanced at Xue'er and pouted: "Miss Xue'er, didn't I say, what is good about that little marquis, and it is worth your sadness for him?"
Xue'er sobbed: "If it hadn't been for Master Hou to take it in, maybe Xue'er would have died a long time ago." Hou Ye has the grace of life for Xue'er, but Xue'er didn't protect the little Hou Ye, Xue'er really has no shame to go back to see Hou Ye!"
"Protect the little marquis?" Pang Yong couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "He's a monk, although he's just a rookie, it's not something you can protect." Miss Cher, don't think about it so much. What else do you see? Now that you are alone, how can you go back? I think you should go to the Ascending Immortal City with us! When you get there, maybe you will also have the opportunity to cultivate immortals! If this is the case, then your fate will be different. When the time comes, you will still care what kind of ordinary Hou Ye he is! Maybe, the next time you go back, you will be a fairy. ”
Xue'er, who pursed her mouth, nodded silently after a slight hesitation. She is a weak girl, and it is indeed not easy to go back alone, and now she can only follow Yunkong and others to Ascension Immortal City.
"Xue'er, it's not too early, we should go," Yunkong said when he saw this.
After a short time, the group turned over and continued their journey. Xue'er was still riding the same horse as Yunkong, and the little marquis's carriage was useless, but Bai Shuzi rode on the horse that pulled the carriage. The horse that can pull the carriage for the little marquis is naturally a sturdy horse.
In the next few days, Yunkong and others were very careful, and they did not dare to be careless when they rested at night, and even took turns to keep vigil.
However, the conjecture danger did not come, and the weasels, who had become spirits, never reappeared.
However, Yunkong and the others did not relax their vigilance, but became more worried and nervous in their hearts. Everything seemed to be just the calm before the storm, and they didn't believe that those weasels would disappear into thin air.
A few days later, in the evening, the glow of the setting sun shrouded Yunkong and others on horseback like a curtain of light.
From a distance, they noticed that there was a small inn in the valley between the barren mountains in front of them, with flags fluttering, and the four big characters of 'Shengxian Inn' could be faintly seen.
"Ascending Immortal Inn?" Staying closer, looking at the signboard of the Ascending Immortal Inn, Pang Yong couldn't help but say: "There is a Ascending Immortal Inn here for no reason, is it related to Ascending Immortal City?" Could it be that we are about to arrive at Ascending Immortal City?"
Yunkong frowned slightly and looked at the Ascending Immortal Inn that appeared very abruptly on the wasteland, this inn appeared too strangely. However, this is indeed an inn, not an illusion of Yunkong and others.
"A few guest officers, are you going to Shengxian City?" A slightly sharp voice came, and I saw a person with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in the Shengxian Inn, who greeted him warmly and politely, and greeted Yunkong and others with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Er's mention of Ascending Immortal City, the eyes of the people in Yunkong couldn't help but look at each other.
