Chapter 5: The Panicked Old Way
The footsteps of inferior yellow horses are not fast, from the rising sun to the setting sun, Ning Caichen estimated that he definitely did not run enough for three hundred miles.
However, slow has the advantage of being slow, and the beautiful scenery along the road is in full view, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.
In the short day after the sunset, Ning Caichen's imperial horse came to the boundary of Sanshi Town, turned over and dismounted, and just walked into the town with the reins of the horse, he heard a strong commotion.
When I looked up, I saw a shadow fall from the high attic and smash to the ground amid the screams of the crowd of onlookers.
"Don't!" Ning Caichen dropped the reins of his horse and quickly pushed away the crowd and rushed over, but it was already too late, and he watched a girl with a handsome fall to the ground, falling into a blur of flesh and blood, and it was unbearable to see.
Looking at this miserable scene blankly, Ning Caichen's face turned pale, his hands were clenched tightly, and his arms hidden in his sleeves were exposed.
"In this case, shouldn't there be a hero to save the beauty?" he whispered, his teeth creaking.
"In this world, where will there be heroes?" an onlooker sighed: "Now that the demons are raging and ghosts are rampant, this girl has just reached the end of the year this year, but she was taken away by the flower thief with drugs, and suffered from the eyes of the neighbors, so she jumped down from the first floor." ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, the human imperial pen in Ning Caichen's arms suddenly trembled violently, and a divine will invaded his mind.
Punish evil on behalf of heaven!
Ning Caichen understood this will, and also understood the mission that the emperor wanted to give him. It's just that he still has a question in his heart that hasn't been solved, and he wants to ask for the answer.
Taking a deep look at the bloody girl, he took back his inferior horse, walked to a remote place and took out the human emperor's pen: "I always think that you have a soul, whether it is a machine spirit or a 'grandfather in the ring', you must have it." Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved my parents, and now I have conveyed this will to me. I want to know, did you have what it took to save that girl?"
The human emperor pen did not react, and stayed quietly in the palm of his hand.
"If you ignore me again, I will bury you deep in the ground, so that you will never be born. Ning Caichen said solemnly.
Maybe it was really his threat that worked, and an ethereal, intermittent thought poured into his mind: "Heaven and earth catastrophe, all saints cry blood, hundreds of millions of miles of immortal city is bleeding and drifting, human emperor, go to immortal city ......"
With each word in this thought, Ning Caichen saw an extremely terrifying scene in his eyes.
In front of an immortal giant city that was hundreds of millions of miles long, hundreds of millions of sentient beings were covered in blood and fought against a mountain of gods without regard to death. The earth was cracked, and the sky shattered like a mirror, and after being repaired by the majestic divine light emitted by the giant city, it shattered again in an instant.
Every moment, countless immortal corpses or limbs fell from the sky, and the immortal blood was sprinkled in the air, and the divine blood smashed the earth into more cracks.
On the earth full of cracks for millions of miles, all kinds of broken magic weapons, immortal weapons, immortal limbs, and corpses are piled up into small mountains, where the way of heaven screams, and all living beings are here.
Miserable! Miserable!
Appalling, thrilling.
The thought came to an abrupt halt here, and the scene in front of Ning Caichen's eyes disappeared in an instant, but his whole person was shocked into a cold sweat and froze in place.
Sweating through his clothes, he was blown by the cool breeze, and he suddenly felt a cold to the bone. It's not a cold body, it's a cold heart.
That kind of scene was too terrifying, countless immortal gods representing immortality fell into the sky, and immortal blood smashed the earth. Let him fantasize alone in his mind, and he can't imagine such a tragic picture.
The saints wept blood, the immortal gods fell, and the immortal city of hundreds of millions of miles was bleeding and drifting, if he transferred him now, I am afraid that any drop of immortal blood sprinkled in the sky could scatter his soul.
"No, resolutely can't go. Even if he becomes an immortal and an ancestor in the future, he will never step there. Shaking his head vigorously, suppressing all the terrifying scenes in the depths of his mind, Ning Caichen muttered in a low voice.
He wasn't the kind of cowardly person, but even if he became an immortal, what could he do?
In any case, he would definitely not do the act of sending him to death, it was the forbidden area of life, and he never wanted to touch it.
Compared to this horrific scene, the original question in his mind became insignificant. Regardless of whether the emperor had the ability to save the girl at that time, the ending could no longer be changed, what he had to do now, and what he could possibly do, was to punish the evil on behalf of the heavens and kill the crazy flower thief.
At this moment, the girl's body had been taken away, and the blood stains on the ground had also been cleaned up by Xiao Er in the first floor, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, except for the discussion in the mouths of the people, it seemed that the murder just now had not happened at all.
Ning Caichen took a deep breath and led the horse to the first floor, and before he reached the door, he saw countless residents walking out with packages on their backs, cursing bad luck in their mouths.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel today?" The owner of the first floor watched the guests leave one after another with a sad face, and suddenly found one walking inside, and asked in astonishment.
"What, you're closing today?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head: "How can it, it's not like this happened, alas, don't say much, it's bad." Guest officer, just for you to live in now, I will give you half of the room and board fee. ”
Ning Caichen wanted to smile, but his unusually heavy mood made him unable to laugh at all: "Arrange a medium room for me." Besides, my horse is tethered to a pillar outside, and you have to send someone to take care of it for me. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper to feed the horses, and took Ning Caichen upstairs with him: "The guest officer hasn't eaten yet, right? If you want to eat something, you can tell me, and I will tell the kitchen to do it." ”
Following him into a guest room, Ning Caichen spoke: "Not yet, if the boss hasn't eaten yet, can you have a drink with me?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and clapped his hands: "Yes, I won't ask you for money for this meal, let's have a few drinks for the two of us." ”
Taking advantage of the time while waiting for the food to be served, Ning Caichen asked, "Does the boss know about this flower thief?"
"My inn used to be full of people, but there are many people who talk about this thief. The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and those people in the rivers and lakes who have practiced martial arts will become demonic if they do not have righteousness and chivalry in their hearts." This flower thief is a member of the evil sect in the rivers and lakes.
Storytellers often say that there is evil and good, and evil does not prevail over good, but in this bright and prosperous world, evil ways are rampant, where have you ever seen a decent chivalrous man? Just like the flower thief, how many evils have he done, how many good women have been persecuted, and how many jasper girls, but now he is still doing evil, how can there ever be a handsome young man in white in the book, holding a divine sword, slaying demons and destroying demons?"
Listening to him sigh again and again, Ning Caichen had a preliminary understanding of the current situation and the rivers and lakes. The young man in the white shirt is not common, but the evil demons have repeatedly persecuted the good.
There is no way, these people in the evil sect have great abilities and desires, and their personalities have begun to be unconstrained by any etiquette and become freewheeling. Those who have good thoughts can still control themselves, and those who have no good or evil thoughts or evil thoughts may have embarked on the evil path.
Ning Caichen is not a defender of the righteous path, and he does not have much prejudice against the people in the evil sect, but for this kind of traitorous silver girl, a flower thief who ruins people's lives, there is only one belief: kill!
What the two people in the house didn't notice was that just as the shopkeeper sighed again and again, an old Taoist priest with a full beard came to their door and listened to this speech in silence.
Just when Lao Dao sighed in his heart and was about to knock on the door, he heard the young man in the room say categorically: "I don't know if there is a famous and decent person in this world who slays demons and exterminates demons, I only know that an evil person like a flower thief should be damned, and he should be punished! There is no young chivalrous man in a famous and decent family, I can only use a golden pen in my hand to fight the thief to the death, either he dies or I die!"
As soon as the words fell, Ning Caichen suddenly felt a heat in his chest, to be precise, a hot pen. Before he could take out his pen to check on the situation, he heard a hearty laugh coming from outside the door, and at the same time, the door to the room was pushed open.
I thought that the person who said this would be a person in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect it to be a scholar. Lao Dao was uninvited, and laughed: "Scholar, you have a very good appetite for me." ”
This person broke in rudely, and the shopkeeper was about to open his mouth to scold, but was suddenly stopped by Ning Caichen. I saw that this scholar looked at Lao Dao with strange eyes, and asked tentatively, "Are you ...... Yan Chixia?"
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and his feet paused: "How do you know my name, have you seen it there?"
People who have never seen you, but who have seen this image of you...... In addition to the different appearance, it is exactly the same as Yan Chixia played by Wu Ma. Ning Caichen thought in his heart, but said: "I once had a dream, in which I got acquainted with you and dealt with an old tree demon together in an ancient temple called Lanruo Temple. ”
"Is there such a thing? Could it be that an immortal dreams of an immortal?" Yan Chixia became interested, came to Ning Caichen in a change of shape, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Scholar, what else?"
Ning Caichen's thoughts turned around a thousand times, and a bad stomach came out: "In the dream, the two of us became brothers of the opposite sex, and swore to share blessings and hardships. ”
"Uh, isn't it your nonsense? Have you done a crown salute as a scholar, I am seventy and nine this year, and I am about to enter my old age, and I will marry you?" Yan Chixia exclaimed.
Looking at his panicked appearance, Ning Caichen smiled darkly: "Not only that, but I also dreamed that there will be a cause for me in Nalanruo Temple, and a female ghost who is destined for me will wait for me there, by the way, you still call that female ghost a brother and sister." ”
Yan Chixia's whole body was stunned, and her mouth kept murmuring: "Are you crazy or am I crazy? Do you have a cause with a female ghost? I met a female ghost without killing demons but called her brother and sister? Scholar, don't you want to scare Lao Dao!"
