Looking at the little girl's appearance, how could Gu Xuyao bear to insist on leaving this place? Besides, Xiao Hei may just be not used to being taken by humans for a while, in this case, it is not unavoidable to stay here for a while to rest. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!).
"Okay, okay, let's find an inn at random to rest for one night, and let's leave tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Xuyao's compromise finally made Meng Meng burst into tears, but seeing the dying mouse in her arms, her smiling face quickly disappeared.
The inn found is not luxurious, Gu Xuyao at this time is no longer the teenager who can casually stay in the drunken workshop, and it is already very good to be able to afford to live in the inn.
"Staying in the hotel?" the shopkeeper glanced at Gu Xuyao, stared at Meng Meng and Xiao Hei in particular, and shook his head. "Young man, don't be carried away by greed, you ...... of dragging your children and daughters"
This sentence couldn't help but make Gu Xuyao a little inexplicable, and he glanced at Mengmeng suspiciously, he didn't want to explain anything, so he paid the rent directly and walked upstairs.
"I have a lot of guest rooms here, but if people leave, they won't be able to come back......" The sigh of the shopkeeper downstairs came into his ears, and there was a different taste, and for some reason, Gu Xuyao began to feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
When she entered the room, Xiao Hei's "condition" seemed to have changed a lot, and Meng Meng finally stopped worrying, looking at her staring at the sleeping Xiao Hei as if she was guarding her baby, Gu Xuyao felt that it was worth staying this time, after all, Xiao Hei was a playmate that Meng Meng had gotten with him for so long, and perhaps, it would be a friend in the future.
When night fell, the wind at night in the Rock Realm carried an inexplicable solemnity, perhaps because the surroundings were too empty, in short, many monks were accustomed to closing the doors and windows when they stayed in the inn, and for their weather-beaten people, it was as if they were not living in an inn if they did not close the doors and windows. But even so, the change under the stars was still very obvious, and the hurried footsteps under the moonlit night passed under the inn, without the slightest concealment.
Gu Xuyao, who had already settled down, was alarmed, and he gently walked to the window and pushed a corner: There are many monks walking below, and I am afraid that at least half of the monks in Xishan City are moving, and their destination is the same, the city gate.
Leaving the city in the middle of the night was not uncommon for Gu Xuyao, who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, who didn't have his own secret things? But such a large-scale action made him feel wrong, especially after thinking of the shopkeeper's words.
"Could it be that what will happen in this Xishan City? I think the idle people have also said that the Stubborn Stone Realm is not peaceful, I think the defenders in these cities do not seem to be the same, could it be that they are going to carry out some large-scale siege?"
Thousands of speculations sprouted quickly in Gu Xuyao's mind, but no matter what it was, it was very unfavorable for him and Mengmeng, and after weighing it again, at this time, only leaving Xishan City was the best choice.
"Meng Meng, Meng Meng?" gently pushed the sleeping Meng Meng, and Xiao Hei next to her was even more drooling, which made Gu Xuyao much easier to do, he quickly stuffed Xiao Hei into his arms, held the sleeping Meng Meng, pushed open the broken wooden door of the inn, and joined the team fleeing from Xishan City.
It's also strange to say, these hurried monks don't seem to mind that Gu Xuyao is such a stranger suddenly joining, but their indifferent faces didn't give Gu Xuyao a chance to ask questions, this can't be, he can only follow the army all the way silently and leave Xishan City, at this time, the monks who left after going outside are more than half of the total number of people in Xishan City, that is at least Ba Chengren!
At this time, there was an old man suspended in the air and saying something, and the monks who came out of the city listened to it with relish, seeing such a scene, the scene that came to Gu Xuyao's mind was the appearance of the storyteller in the mortal area talking about the ancient times in the teahouse, but since he came, Gu Xuyao was willing to listen to what the old man was saying, anyway, he didn't know the route to other cities, and he had to rely on the post station in the end.
"Those of us who live on the slope of the river know that that the abominable thing has been haunting us for countless years, and it is not strong! But why have we not been able to catch it? Even with the help of a superior person, we can only fight it off?"
When Gu Xuyao arrived, the old man had already said half of it, but fortunately, the front was probably inconsequential nonsense.
"It's because we're not united enough and we're reluctant to put our hearts into rectifying it! This time, we dispatched the largest number of monks in history, the most elite magic weapon, and I believe that the demon beast has absolutely nowhere to hide!"
There was a stirring from below, and Gu Xuyao seemed to understand a little, there were no travelers among these monks, they were all native monks who lived in this corner of the long river slope.
"At that time, the scattered cultivators in the vicinity of several other cities will act with us, everyone remember the core of this operation, we are not fighting alone, but as long as we consolidate the magic circle here, then we will definitely not let that demon beast escape again!"
The words are quite exciting, but this seems to have nothing to do with Gu Xuyao.
"It turned out that I was going to crusade against some demon beast, it seems that I should go back and wait quietly for them to buy a map and leave after they are over......"
The key to not getting into unnecessary trouble in the cultivation realm is: it is not about yourself, hang it high, turn a blind eye and never draw a sword to help.
It's just that flying away from the venue at this time is too ugly, Gu Xuyao just needs to squeeze backwards and leave, but this action is really conspicuous, and the people around him are cheering and shouting to kill the demon with blood, but only his figure is shrinking backwards, and the old man suspended in mid-air immediately appeared The young man who was suspected of being a deserter.
"I say it again here, all the monks on the slope of the long river should not be afraid of death, I clearly tell you that there will be sacrifices in battle, but your name will always be engraved on the heroic monument built by all the cities on the slope of the long river, right, fellow Daoists over there!"
When the last word fell, the old man mercilessly pointed to Gu Xuyao, who was sneaking away, it was like a beam of light, and immediately illuminated the person who stole the chicken and the dog, and in an instant, countless pairs of eyes looked at Gu Xuyao together.
It is extremely stupid to continue to act under such circumstances, but Gu Xuyao is not an ordinary person, he quickly pretended to be calm, turned around after coughing dryly, swept around the monks, raised his arms and shouted: "Down with the demon beast!"
The monks around were stunned for a moment when they saw this, and then they quickly shouted along with Gu Xuyao's slogan, and at this time, the dark clouds in the sky obscured the moonlight......
In desperation, Gu Xuyao could only join the team to exterminate the demon beasts this time, but he had already secretly decided that he would definitely not contribute to this operation, or, not go all out......
When I followed the old man all the way to a certain place, I heard about the situation of the demon beast, it turned out that this place was called Changhepo, and there were a total of five cities nearby, which were very close, so they were troubled by the demon beast at the same time, and it was because of this that these cities would send people out at the same time to exterminate the demon beast.
To get back to the point, this demon beast is said to be a variant of the ancient bloodline, although the strength is not very strong, but it perfectly inherits the swiftness and agility of the ancient beast, so the monks of Changhepo invited many masters to catch the demon beast, and in the end they can only injure the other party but cannot cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Let me tell you, the place where the demon beast lives is called the Foggy Sea Mountain, and its lair is in the deepest fog pit of the Fog Sea Mountain, it is said that that place is the area where the curse has been received, and only the demon beast with the blood of the ancient beast can walk freely in that place, let alone us, even if the master who has come to kill the beast will die if he enters it. ”
The constant discussion of the monk beside him allowed Gu Xuyao to make up a lot of knowledge, and it can be regarded as a sufficient preparation for how he will make soy sauce after the battle starts.
It turns out that the Foggy Sea Mountain is not an ordinary place, it was a decisive battle in the battle between humans and demons a long time ago, and because of this, the resentment lingering in that place is too heavy, so the Foggy Sea Mountain is one of the few mountains in the Rock Realm that can enter and exit at will without pleading, according to the Rock Realm, the soul of that mountain is dead, obliterated by demons, and swallowed up in blood, it is no longer pure, and it cannot bear our pleas.
But fortunately, due to the harsh environment in that place, even other fierce beasts don't want to live there, and the huge foggy sea and mountain are only inhabited by a demon beast that is the target this time.
"You don't know, I've lived in Changhepo for three hundred years, and every two months the demon beast will come out to destroy it, and at first it was miserable, but then guess what? ”
"Cut, my father also told me about this kind of thing, in fact, we have been in peace with each other, although we will be attacked every once in a while, but fortunately, no one has died, but recently that demon beast doesn't know what crazy surname it is, and it has to slaughter a large number of monks every time, so we will be killed sooner or later!"
"That's right, that's right, according to me, it's better to wait for someone to save it than to do it yourself, don't you say it'......"
The endless discussion has never stopped along the way, these people are full of confidence, after all, the number of people is there, it must not be underestimated, this is a team of tens of thousands of people, but no matter how many people there are, in the eyes of people like Gu Xuyao who have seen a big scene, they are just a rabble, and it is difficult to become a big tool.
"Stop!"
The old man who took the lead seemed to be the steward of Xishan City, and at this time, I don't know how long he had been flying, and the foggy sea mountain was already in front of him.
After the "......" team stopped, the old man released a green rocket into the sky, and soon, rockets of various colors were also heard at the three corners of the southeast and west of the Wuhai Mountain. Seeing this, the old man bowed slightly, and shot a purple rocket again, and soon, a white rocket lit up in a certain direction.
The old man turned around, glanced at everyone, and said, "All the elite troops I said before have gone to the location of the white rocket to assemble, and the rest of the people will join me in guarding the big formation!" )
