Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 139 Facelings
Fang Lansheng didn't have time to ask Wanqing what the big task she was talking about, because at this time, Ah Niu, who was at the front of the line, had already turned his head and smiled lightly, but the smile that should have been clear and delicate made Fang Lansheng's heart chill for no reason.
Because Ah Niu is not a person who laughs a lot.
Maybe he heard what they said, but it was unlikely, after all, it was so far away.
Ah Niu stopped, and he also fell to the back of the line.
"The camels no longer recognize the smell of the caravan, and we have to admit that someone or something has deliberately erased the caravan and that we are lost, which is not very good news. ”
"Then what should we do? Getting lost in the desert means that you can't move forward half a step again. ”
Although Fang Lansheng couldn't treat Ah Niu as usual, he still forcibly controlled his emotions and tried not to make himself appear problematic, Wan Qing said that he didn't know if Yue could survive or not, this was already very vague, that is, Mingyue was most likely dead, but if Mingyue was dead, who was the seriously injured woman? Where did Ah Niu bring her back? There are many problems, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels the more fear he feels, and the more he fears, the more he knows how heavy the burden is on him, and he no longer has the same idea of hoping that he can be alone as before, just because this burden is too tiring.
He suddenly wanted to leave, but he knew he couldn't.
Fang Lansheng said gloomily.
"I know you're the most powerful among us right now, it's all up to you to decide what we should do, get out of the caravan, without the three old men, the chances of us getting out alive are slim, what to do you have the final say. ”
"You want to be the shopkeeper and dump everything on me one by one. ”
Ah Niu smiled again, he had laughed for the third time since last night, which was a little too unusual.
"I don't have any other way but to do this, I don't know you very well, and I even had festivals before, but I'm still willing to put this right in your hands, because I want them to get out of this hellish place alive. ”
"You said that we are not familiar with each other, are you not afraid that I will trap you and let you stay in this desert forever?"
"You won't do that, because although you are powerful, but I have many disciples in Yuqing Mountain, so I can work together to take you down. ”
Ah Niu was the decider of this team of only a dozen people, Mingyue hadn't woken up yet, they didn't have a few camels, and most of the Taoists were walking.
Unable to find the smell of the caravan, they had to wait until the stars came out at night to discern their direction, so they rested during the day and prepared to travel at night, which they had to do despite the danger.
It's a pity that the black desert doesn't seem to give them a chance to hurry this night, and they can't see the stars all night, so they can only continue to wait, but the food can't last long, the water is still enough, and the camels can know where the oasis is.
"Are you going to look for food or am I going?"
Fang Lansheng asked Ah Niu, at this time, Ah Niu was finishing the last piece of jerky.
"You go...... That's impossible, and even if you don't just say it, I know you're actually trying to let me go, right?"
Fang Lansheng was speechless, he really planned to do so, he couldn't go, because if he went to the team, he would lose the maximum combat power, it would be difficult to take down Ah Niu, and his junior disciples couldn't go, because he didn't want his junior disciples to encounter any more accidents.
Ah Niu seemed to have penetrated his thoughts, and stood up lightly.
"You are indeed a qualified senior brother, wait here, don't go anywhere, I'll go look for food. ”
Ah Niu left, and he never let Fang Lan give birth to the stage, which made the latter almost feel incredible, but fortunately, he finally went his own way.
"What are you going to do next?"
Wanqing walked over, she actually didn't like Fang Lansheng very much, but that was only before, at least Fang Lansheng after going down the mountain this time was mature enough, he deserved to talk to her on an equal footing.
"If there is no problem yet, it should be him. ”
"And how are you going to tempt?"
"I have my way, now, just wait for the stars to appear. ”
When Ah Niu returned, he got a lot of small animals in the black desert as food, but he didn't disappoint Fang Lansheng, in fact, he might not be able to catch these things if he went, even if he had a Dao sword called the Tao by the world, a sword could kill people, slay demons and eliminate demons, and he might not be able to find small animals hidden deep in the sand.
"You're familiar with the black desert and can get so much to eat. ”
Fang Lansheng was washing these poor little animals that were about to become food while chatting with Ah Niu.
In fact, Taoists can't eat meat originally, but now they can't take care of so much, they can't eat the thorn grass in this desert, and they can only eat meat to survive.
There is nothing more important in the world than surviving.
Fang Lansheng is not very skilled, even a simple action of removing internal organs is not very good, maybe he really can't stand it, so Ah Niu snatched it away.
"It's not unusual to do this, sometimes people force themselves to do a lot of things they wouldn't have done before in order to survive. ”
"You have a point. ”
Fang Lansheng smiled faintly, he looked at Ah Niu Dao.
"For example, we Taoist priests used to only eat vegetarians, but now we have started to eat meat, maybe one day when we are desperate, we will even eat human flesh, right?"
Ah Niu didn't speak, he just peeled the skin seriously, and after peeling the skin, he set it up on the bonfire to roast.
"You can't do that. ”
Fang Lansheng snatched it like a cow snatching it over.
"It's not cleaned, we can get our mouths, how do they get their mouths, I thought you were a very particular person, and now it doesn't seem to be. ”
Ah Niu stopped talking again, they ate and rested for another day, and God finally gave a good weather that night.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
"Where should we go?"
Fang Lansheng handed over this decision to Ah Niu.
"Go north, the north can directly reach the Northern Wei Dynasty, and when the time comes, we will be able to know their traces by inquiring. ”
Ah Niu glanced at the stars hanging high in the sky and said.
"That's not right. ”
Fang Lansheng frowned.
"I remember that it should be going south, could it be that I remembered it wrong? It should be unlikely, you are also from Wei, who are we mistaken?"
"I guess you're mistaken, I think it's going north. Ah Niu said lightly.
"No, it should be the South. ”
At this time, Wanqing also came over.
There were a few breaths of stalemate at two to one.
"Yes, maybe I'm mistaken, let's go south and pick up a little bit and you should be able to catch up with them. ”
Ah Niu finally gave up his persistence.
They ate some more barbecue before hitting the road.
"Although I didn't deal with you before, but this time you are lucky to survive, I want to have another drink with you, this time you take us out, and we don't owe each other from now on. ”
Wanqing walked towards Ah Niu with a wine jug.
"You seem to like to drink a lot. ”
Ah Niu took the flask.
"But since you're willing to drink, I'll have a drink with you, but I'll drink your pot so that you can show that you're sincere. ”
Wanqing's complexion changed dramatically.
"What? You don't want to, or did you poison this wine?"
"How is it possible, how can it be poisonous?"
Wanqing smiled a little dryly.
"Since you're going to change it, let's change it. ”
Wanqing and Ah Niu exchanged wine jugs.
The two touched, the two pots of wine were drunk, and Wanqing, who had finished drinking, threw away the wine jug, and more than a dozen disciples of Taoism surrounded Ah Niu.
"What do you mean by this?
Ah Niu doesn't look too happy, in fact, he wouldn't be happy if he were anyone.
"Actually, you're not the person we're waiting for, who are you. ”
Fang Lansheng pulled out his sword, and the blade of the sword was pointing at Ah Niu.
"Oh, then tell me how you know I'm not the one you're waiting for?"
"Because no matter how good your performance is, there are still many loopholes, such as the direction out of the desert was originally in the north, but you followed us and said it was the south. ”
"Maybe it's really my misremember, but it's not necessarily, after all, I'm not a person with a good memory. ”
"You may not remember the previous events clearly, but you will definitely remember what happened in the desert in the past few days, so you will not know the direction in which the caravan left, the cinnabar mole on your forehead has been deeply imprinted in your flesh and blood, unless you cut the flesh with a knife, it will definitely not disappear, your acting skills are too clumsy, I am sure you have seen him and know a lot of things about him, so now, are you a human or a ghost. ”
"Have you ever seen a ghost walking unscrupulously in the daytime?"
"Then you just acquiesce, what the hell are you, hurry up and show up, otherwise don't blame us for being polite. ”
More than a dozen Taoist disciples' long swords were aimed at Ah Niu, and he had no escape.
"I'm nothing, I'm human, I didn't expect me to have so many loopholes, I thought I could hide it, okay, you won, but you're also dying. ”
Ah Niu was full of smiles, and Fang Lansheng was also full of smiles.
"We're dying? Who is dying, is it too early to say, haven't you noticed that your body has been poisoned? ”
"Really, why don't you look at the face of the woman behind you?"
After finishing a sentence, Wanqing fell to the ground.
Fang Lansheng was like a great enemy.
"What did you do to her?"
"It's nothing, it's just that she drank poisonous wine, I didn't want to do this, if you just follow me, you might be more comfortable, and now I have to spend my time arresting you one by one, although I don't want to do it, but there is no other way. ”
Ah Niu finally stood up, and more than a dozen Taoist swords were drawn at the same time, but at this time, where was there still half a figure, Ah Niu seemed to suddenly disappear silently, and then Fang Lansheng only felt that he had been hit hard in the back of his head, and he was no longer aware of what happened after that.
When I woke up, I was in a dark underground, with a permanent lamp burning on the wall, and the body of the lamp was a dead man's head.
At this time, the others also woke up, all of them unarmed, and they were locked up in this place that was more like a prison.
It was eerie, with a few rats running through the aisle from time to time, and there were many dead heads of the same kind in the corners.
They also saw a lonely-looking young man leaning quietly against the corner of the wall with a cinnabar mole on his forehead.
"I was expecting you to come and pull me out, but now even you are in. ”
Ah Niu said nonchalantly, compared with his teammates who had just woken up and panicked, he was much calmer.
"Are you real or fake?"
Fang Lansheng asked suspiciously.
"You can ask this question, you must have met that person before. ”
"That person?"
"That's right, it's the Faceling, and I was tricked in by him. He is very strong, he should be the master of this underground imperial city, he likes to eat corpses, I can't guarantee that the dead man's head in the corner is his masterpiece, but I think most of these people were also caught in this desert, our luck can be said to be good, or bad. ”
"How do you say that?"
"Luckily, because the caravan didn't fall into the hands of this faceling, otherwise I'm afraid no one would know that we were caught here, and unlucky, because we broke away from the caravan, because if the old man with yellow teeth is here, we will have a great chance of getting out. ”
"The old man with yellow teeth is as strong as you say?"
"Yes, he had a sword case, and there were seven swords in the sword case. ”
