The river was snowing and the wind was biting, and this year's winter came very early.
The cloth banners hanging in the Dukou Yedian were swept away by the wind at some point, leaving only a bare bamboo pole. A thick felt curtain at the door sheltered the wind and snow, and there was a faint roar and laughter of rough men.
Dozens of figures swept across the snow, counting nine cold days, all of them wearing only light robes, some carrying weapons-like things, and some with strange scattered objects hanging on their bodies. His aura is high, he is extraordinary, his face is different, and he is majestic. In short, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
One of them casually flicked his sleeves,
"Huh." The felt curtain was rolled up like this.
The cold wind poured into the house with snowflakes in between, and there was an angry shouting from inside.
These more than a dozen uninvited guests filed in, and when the felt cloth was lowered to cover the door again, the inside of the wild shop had become quiet, except for the sound of flames burning in the stove.
The few rough men sitting beside the door were blown with snow all over their faces, and their faces were a little blue from freezing. They didn't dare to say a word. They just moved quietly into the room, trying to stay away from the group of people who had just entered. point.
"You guys..."
The guy shivered to say hello.
These kind of nightclubs and deserted ferry crossings are driven by rough men who are looking for a living, and occasionally there are a few merchants, people with a bit of identity, and it is difficult to meet one all year round.
The most fearful thing is to meet those Jianghu people, escorts, swordsmen, gangsters, these are all okay to say, like this heavy snowy day, wearing single clothes, all over the body is clean and there is no stain at all, it is clear that it is martial arts. Master (…), don’t be negligent, even if one sentence is wrong, the whole house may be demolished.
"Don't move!"
Among the people who came, someone shouted loudly.
Not knowing why, he stood on the other side of the room. In his hand, he was carrying a timid guy who wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. After looking at it carefully, he found that he was not the one he was looking for, so he threw it aside.
Now everyone has settled down in their hearts, knowing that these evil spirits are here to find people, not themselves.
The leader was an old man, who looked quite calm and didn't sit down, just put his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes to rest.
"Elder Ben, no."
"Go!" the old man said impatiently.
So the felt curtain was blown open again, and everyone in the room could see it clearly. No one of these gods reached out to pick the curtain. I guess it was dirty, and the felt curtain rolled up by itself. what kung fu.
The rough men watched eagerly, very greedy.
After the uninvited guest left, the noise and excitement in the room resumed with a coax.
"Master Qu, you are well-informed, what are the origins of these evil spirits?"
The person who was respected as Lord Qu was actually not very old, he just had a beard on his face and a sheepskin jacket, he sneered at the sound, and said slowly: "You fools, you shouldn't care about things, What are you asking?"
"Isn't this puzzled!" someone said embarrassingly.
The people at the same table hurriedly poured a bowl of wine and held it in front of Master Qu.
"You can drink as much as you like, if you don't have enough, I'll ask the shopkeeper to add more."
"It's useless, what good wine can you drink here?" Master Qu laughed and shoved a peanut into his mouth, but he couldn't help sighing.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, we are guilty! Since two months ago, we have often encountered today's scene in the wilderness. Shouldn't anything happen!" The man pouring wine is very broken , eager to show off the goods in his stomach, "Maybe it's a treasure!"
Master Qu frowned.
"Yo, it's still a treasure, this is because I've heard too much storytelling!" The crowd laughed.
Master Qu ate peanuts one by one without saying a word.
"Come on, he's not bad!" Someone pouted towards the door contemptuously, "Did you see that Huang Shouzi? That's the groom of our car dealership, daydreaming all day long, thinking about apprenticeship and learning art, The last time I saw a capable old boxer, he knelt down eagerly, and the old boxer called his disciple to throw him out all the way, this guy hasn't given up!
"what?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that there was no one in the freezing position by the door.
"Which meal you eat, you have to be down-to-earth and think about what you have all day..."
"He wants to study with a teacher? What is he going to do?" Master Qu suddenly asked.
"It's fun, why else!" The man said contemptuously, and when he was about to sneer for a few more words, he suddenly caught sight of Master Qu's sharp eagle-like gaze, and he shuddered, involuntarily telling the truth, "I don't know. , someone saw that he bought a large amount of paper money during the winter solstice and burned it quietly behind his back. When he came back, his eyes were red. On weekdays, when he asked his parents and family, this guy just prevaricates, saying that he is lonely and has no support. There is no place to stand under the tile, so I come here to eat."
"The more I listen, the more like a book, does he have a bloody feud?"
Everyone at the table laughed, raised their bowls and drank again.
The guy from the wild shop suddenly lifted the felt curtain and shouted, "The ferry is coming! Prepare to cross the river!"
All of a sudden, the excitement was over. Those who knew accounts, packed their bags, and led mules in the stables at the back of the house were busy.
Master Qu wrapped his hat and coat, and went out to watch the ferry against the wind.
When I left the Deye Store, I saw a man covered in snow, walking back listlessly.
"Huang Shouzi, you didn't catch up with those experts?" Someone laughed loudly, "Or were you thrown aside again?"
Qu Ye's eyes flickered.
- Those people just now weren't magic cultivators, so they shouldn't do anything to mortals, but it's impossible for this guy to chase after cultivators. After running for a long time in the wind and snow, he probably didn't even find a shadow.
When Shou Huang approached, Master Qu was really startled.
With such a frame, the aptitude of the root bones is still acceptable.
Don't underestimate the evaluation of "Shang Ke", Master Qu has a high vision, and he thinks it is still acceptable, which means that if this person has a good practice and a good chance, he can cultivate to Nascent Soul.
There is also a place in the great denominations.
Master Qu murmured in his heart: It's such a coincidence, in the wilderness, when you meet someone who wants to ask an immortal, do you really have this qualification
Over there, Huang Shouzi was instructed by other rough men in the car and horse shop to make rounds, first sneering at him, and finally driving him to the stable to clean up.
Master Qu rolled his eyes, made an excuse, and followed him to the stable.
The unfortunate Fu Lieyun was squatting on the beam of the stable. Although he saw that the situation was not good in Yuzhou that day, he ran first, but the next thing was terrible: rumors in the cultivation world that he and Zhao Weiyang got the treasure map of Beixuan Secret Treasure.
Pooh! Not to mention that there is no such thing, even if there is, Fu Lieyun will not take a second look at it if he loses it on the street!
A box of jade cards, sent to the mortal pawnshop, can be filled with one hundred taels of silver bills, and I will be grateful. Ordinary people are clumsy, how can they see jade from 8,000 years ago, and it is estimated that the texture is not delicate and moist enough!
Fu Lieyun could use his toes to figure out whose conspiracy this was.
"Chen He!!"
Fu Lieyun was so angry that his chest felt tight. Although the cultivators in the Central Plains seldom knew him, they couldn't resist that everyone was looking for Zhao Weiyang.
The Gathering faction has even been forced to the door by many sects, just to get Zhao Weiyang's whereabouts, the scattered cultivators do not dare to hang out alone now, lest they be taken as Zhao Weiyang Fu Lieyun, the questioning is small, and the loss of life will be big. .
Fu Lieyun fled from east to west, and at first he disguised himself among mortals. Later, he found that even the government began to look for suspicious people. Fu Lieyun thought behind the scenes that Venerable Huanjian has been a national teacher for so many years, this is a sinister trick!
Hiding among mortals without spells is confusing.
After using the spell, the monks would realize that Fu Lieyun was about to die of grief.
Fortunately, his brain was nimble, and he soon found a village. A poor hunter was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment. After a few days, he lost his temper. Fu Lieyun buried the body and took away the other party's property. After tossing himself beyond recognition, he went through two county towns to find a wild shop, and stayed as a horse herd.
It was the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, and the guys who did the same work were happy to stay in the house, but they didn't want to go to the back barn to get cold.
This is just an expedient measure, Fu Lieyun is full of calculations, as long as Zhao Weiyang is found, he can breathe a sigh of relief and escape into the black water swamp of Wanku Mountain in the southwest, where he lived for hundreds of years in his previous life. , is familiar with the terrain, and he is proficient in all kinds of quicksand talismans, and no one can catch him there.
Unexpectedly, these monks who were thinking about treasures became more and more reckless, and rushed directly into the mortal dwellings to investigate one by one.
If it wasn't for Fu Lieyun's quick reaction and his breathing in the haystack, those monks didn't notice the difference, and they disliked the unpleasant smell of the stables, so they just stood at the door and left, and today's affairs would be troublesome.
When the ferry came, there was a lot of noise in the wild shop and in the stables. Fu Lieyun didn't bother to pay attention to it, and squatted on the beam to get sullen. Unexpectedly, he heard the rough men loudly mocking a companion, and then the more he looked at Huang Shouzi, the more familiar he became.
Yellow question
Chen He's son-in-law, before Chen He became the Venerable Demon Dao, had a group of subordinates who were not good enough. Huang Ti was the only one who lived until Venerable Li Yan to rule the Demon Dao.
This man has little ability and is timid, and later he simply avoided the battlefield.
Fu Lieyun couldn't remember this person originally. It was his ally Zhao Weiyang. One day, he took a map of Qingshi Town outside Guanwai and sighed and said that Chen He's lackeys were originally a group of salt dealers.
Kill it, kill it, count it back and forth, and miss the most important one.
Huang Ti, this coward, was only a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator in his previous life. Zhao Weiyang and Fu Lieyun had a shallow impression of him. Even Zhao Weiyang felt that something was wrong afterwards. After careful investigation, it was confirmed that Huang Ti had run away.
"If you see it, cut the grass and root it out." Zhao Weiyang said lightly at the time, "If you can't find it, don't worry too much. Killing these guys is to prevent Chen He from getting their help. I didn't expect that the situation was completely different from the previous life. I'm a little more causal, which is really annoying."
Fu Lieyun was in a fit of anger, and his killing intent suddenly arose.
- Chen He has nothing to do with these salt dealers in this life. His next secret move, calling Huang Ti to die a few days later, can be considered to vent his anger.
Huang Shouzi was leading the mule to go, and suddenly he felt a hot breath, which shot straight into his back. Huang Shouzi stood unsteady and fell out, and suddenly a loud shout came from the door of the stable: "Chixia Sect?"
Fu Lieyun was shocked. He saw that the person who came was dressed in a sheepskin jacket and had a mundane aura around him. He didn't look like a monk at all.
Master Qu stood at the gate of the stable, sighing in his heart. When he saw a cultivator secretly murdering Huang Shouzi, he instinctively shouted loudly. Years of habit are hard to change! Completely forget that I am a mortal now!
Fortunately, the other party couldn't figure out his own details and ran away, otherwise his life would be lost in confusion today.
Huang Shouzi got up from the ground, and before he could figure out the situation, he fell down and bowed: "Senior, can you accept me as a disciple?"
"… "
Master Qu coughed a few times, and said with an unbearable face, "Do you have any enemies?"
Huang Shouzi's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but he was beaten by Master Qu's next sentence as if he had fallen into the ice cellar.
"If you have any unfinished business, hurry up and do it. You have already been hit by a secret trick and will not survive for seven days."
"Senior... I beg the senior to save me!"
Huang Shouzi kowtowed in fear.
Master Qu flexibly avoided and shook his head: "I can't solve this secret trick."
- It was possible before, but not now.
"I beg seniors to have mercy. There are many brothers in my life, and they died in an unexplainable manner. Today..." Huang Shouzi looked desperate.
"I really can't figure it out. You won't be able to make it to Yuzhou within seven days."
"Yuzhou?"
"There is someone in Yuzhou who can solve this trick, but—" Master Qu shook his head regretfully at Shou Huang.
It was impossible for him to lead the strangers he met on the road to his apprentice he hadn't seen for many years. Even if the skinny Huang looked pitiful, Master Qu would not believe it, because he had suffered too many pitfalls.
