Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 233 Little Interlude
"It seems to be such a truth, this way is superficial."

The fat Taoist wrung out his shoes and shook off the stinky water droplets. Thinking about what his boss said, he also felt that they were hard to deal with as a cultivator alone, plus a water-permeable cow monster, and there was a car full of them behind him. I am afraid that monsters don't even have to come out of the cave at the bottom of the water, they can see a big golden light passing by the water surface, who dares to make trouble.

"Apprentice, is the car leaking?"

In the carriage, the sleeping crazy old man woke up feeling the water stains on his face, put his fingers under his nose to smell the water stains, and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Why is this rain so smelly, it smells worse than the old man's feet!"

Hearing this, the fat Taoist outside the car looked at the shoes in his hand, and hurriedly put them on. The crazy old man poked his head out from the car, "Apprentice, where are we? Did you mention any delicious places?"

"It's still some time away from Luodu, if Master is hungry, let's go ahead to shelter from the rain and make some meals by the way."

Chen Yuan took out the wrapped handkerchief from her sleeve, took out half a pancake from it, and filled Master's belly first, and directed the old cow to the front to see if there was any resting place, if not, just look for a big pancake at will. The tree lit a fire.

The place where I went ashore was not connected to the official road. I walked on a wilderness path. On the way, I met a nearby farmer and asked if there was a town nearby. Hearing that there were still more than ten miles away, he continued on his way.

The sky was gloomy, and the misty autumn rain exuded a chill.

The surrounding mountains and plains looked a little gloomy, and a thin layer of mist appeared in the woods with the autumn rain. It was already noon, and there were occasional ominous crows neighing from the winding mountain road.

Wow!
Wow!
The pitch-black crow bounced off the branches, tilted its head to look at the passing bullock cart, and spread its wings to fly into the forest. At this moment, a little smoke rose in front of the mountain road, and it was a half-collapsed house.

In the mountains, there are many travelers who take shortcuts to catch their feet. When they are tired and tired, they will rest under the eaves when they encounter a place to rest nearby, and they will not go in at will.

When Chen Yuan drove the ox cart over, there were four people sitting around the bonfire lit under the eaves. Seeing the huge carriage, the old cow pulling the cart, the fat Taoist and Chen Yuan, they just nodded or showed goodwill. Smiling, I ignored it, and continued to talk about some anecdotes from all over the world. It seems that the four of them are not in the same group.

"Have you heard?"

"What happened."

On the opposite side of the bonfire, there were two people in green shirts and wide sleeves, unlike traders traveling around, one of them spoke excitedly.

On the other side, the faces of the two people were a little unnatural, "Two brothers, you are in the wilderness, don't tell ghost stories, we are all people who run outside, if you provoke ghosts and gods, it's not good."

As he said that, he subconsciously glanced towards the three of Chen Yuan who were walking on the other side of the roof.

"Who told ghost stories?" "That's right, we're talking about recent rumors. I heard that several princes are going to bring troops to Beijing."

The half-collapsed house is desolate with weeds and weeds growing in the gaps between the tiles, and there is a huge hole on the top side. In the gloomy sky, no matter what you say, there is a weird atmosphere. Chen Yuan Frowning, set up an iron pot, mix water to cook food, is there a war?What's going on here.

The two peddler-looking men over there breathed a sigh of relief when they saw each other cooking.

Then he continued to ask the two people in green shirts opposite: "So, is there going to be a war in Luodu?"

"Isn't it? Just now I heard from the two of you that you are going to Luodu? I should advise the two brothers not to go. The two brothers happen to have a good place to go. Bring your goods and go there together. Maybe you can sell them for a good price. "

"The two brothers have a connection? If that's the case, you might as well give me some pointers, and share some rewards with the two of you."

Hearing that it can be sold at a good price, the eyes of the two vendors are about to shine. When they are away from home, don’t they just make a "profit". It's all a big problem, maybe even being dragged to help defend the city and survived, it's all smoke from the ancestral graves.

Puff puff……

The water in the pot was boiling, Chen Yuan glanced at the two people in green shirts over there, took out a small bag, poured rice grains into it, leaned against the wall, took out a book and flipped through it.

"Apprentice. How long do we have to wait?" The crazy old man squatted beside him, watching the boiling rice tumbling in the pot with greedy eyes, his saliva was about to flow out. He muttered in his mouth: "I also said that I would take my teacher to eat delicious food, but I ended up eating this, but it's okay, it's better than pancakes..."

"Old lunatic, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is the best rice, which is carefully selected by the Taoist and brought out from Liangya Mountain."

When the fat Taoist heard what the crazy old man said, he immediately stopped doing it. With serious eyes, he rolled up his sleeves and approached him, pointing to the rice in the pot and talking. There was a toad lying on the ground beside him, which was not so easy to find. , listen carefully.

After all, the fat Taoist was very particular about cooking before, which made him quite admire it, and even felt that it made a lot of sense.

'On the way of eating, if you can walk out of a path, your achievements may not be lower than others. '

The toad blinked its eyelids, and when it heard the buzzing sound, it instinctively opened its mouth, stuck out its long tongue, and pulled the hovering mosquito into its mouth.

'Exactly, I like this way too. '

The dead branches sounded a few "cracks" in the fire, and outside the eaves, the wind mixed with the rain was blowing the forest between the mountain roads.

Among the four people chatting by the fire over there, a man who seemed to be the youngest heard the two people in green shirts talking about the way of doing business. He had an unnatural expression on his face. Don't trust the words, but the companion is talking to the two people opposite him, so he won't listen.

At this time, the young man heard the wind whimpering and whimpering outside. In the gloomy sky, the flames shone on the faces of the two people in green shirts opposite, outlining half of their faces, as if they were dazzled. scary.

He swallowed his saliva, raised his elbow to push against his older companion, his words trembled slightly.

"Brother, there are two people on the opposite side, a little weird."

The companion was puzzled, there was nothing unusual about the two people on the opposite side, so he grabbed the man by the corner of his clothes,

"What are you thinking, these two are our lucky stars, don't talk nonsense, you lost a lot of money in a single sentence last time."

The timid man shut up when he heard the old remark, but he still couldn't help but look at the two people opposite.

Outside the range illuminated by the fire, the faces of the two men in green shirts flickered in and out of the light of the campfire, grinning hard under the pale complexion.

rustling.
The branches and leaves of the forest outside swayed in the wind.

The man's stamina's hairs stood up one by one in an instant, and he quickly moved back a bit, rubbing his buttocks. At this moment, he coughed suddenly. It was strange to say that the fear in the timid man suddenly disappeared. He subconsciously looked under the eaves on the other side, the driver in the light blue robe was flipping through a book, feeling a sense of security for no reason.

And with this sound, the two men in green shirts who were talking to another vendor looked back at the man watching the book, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Seeing the different expressions on their faces, the rough merchant on the opposite side quickly asked, "What's the matter, both of you?"

"Uh, I... I'm afraid the two of us have taken a step ahead."

Saying that, the two ignored the man's persuasion, got up and walked out, their steps were surprisingly fast, regardless of the falling rain curtain, as if they were floating, they walked into the forest in front of them in the blink of an eye.

The man was still puzzled, but when he saw the backs of the two, he could vaguely see two blurred black figures with pale faces. He hurriedly withdrew his feet, ran to his companion and squatted down, holding his arms with his hands, trembling slightly.

Da da da.
The man's teeth were fighting frantically, his scalp felt numb, and a chill rushed straight to the back of his neck.

The black shadows behind those two people just now were covered in pitch-black fluff.

"I almost lost my life, and I went to do business with others." The fat Taoist under the eaves on the other side stirred the bottom of the pot. When he came over, he also noticed the strangeness of the two men in blue shirts. , kept walking away, but with Chen Yuan around, that confidence was enough.

"Boss is a man, he is not as alert as the brothers around you."

Knowing that the coughing came from the man who was watching the book, the two vendors immediately got up to thank them, but their voices were still trembling before they recovered from the panic.

"Those two were transformed by mandrills, and they are very good at bewitching people. Once you follow them into the mountain, I'm afraid you two will be left with a pile of bones."

Chen Yuan has the power of incense, and can tell at a glance that the other party is not human, but he doesn't directly expose it, he still wants to see what the second monster is going to do, if it is a monster like Hu Yong, he will not interfere, but it seems that it is not Every monster is good.

"Thank you, Master, for the rescue!"

Knowing the whole story, the two broke out in a cold sweat, thanked them again, and took out the money on their bodies and handed it to Chen Yuan, but they had no choice but to take it back, put out the fire immediately, and quickly left with the goods. Knowing that there is an expert here, I dare not stay here, I am afraid that I will not go here after being killed.

"Old Sun, let's practice your hands. The two mandrills just now are not deep in knowledge, and they haven't yet transformed into a shape. They just cast a blind eye."

Sun Zhengde nodded, spat out a mouthful, rubbed it on his palm, took the mahogany sword behind his backhand, and rushed to the woods on the opposite side of the mountain road.

In less than ten breaths, there was a series of roars of "ahhhhh...", followed by another bang bang sound, and the forest shook accordingly. Soon, Sun Zhengde patted the Taoist robe quite comfortably, and dragged it on. Returning with the mahogany sword, his complexion was as pale as a Buddha's and he continued to prepare meals.

After a small episode on the way, nothing happened on the rest of the way.

After entering the boundary of Hezhou, heading east all the way, after arriving in Luodu, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

Only half a mile away from the city gate, there was noise on both sides of the official road, and pedestrians shuttled like a vegetable market. The huge city gate was extremely strictly checked, and Chen Yuan's ox carts might not be able to enter.

"Fellow Daoist, want to go to Beijing to seek assassination?!"

Suddenly, words rang out on the road. Chen Yuan was familiar with the voice, but it was nothing. She turned her face away with a smile, and the fat Taoist beside her trembled with fright.

At the entrance of the carriage, the crazy old man who was playing with Li Bai's woodcarving threw away the struggling woodcarving, and his hair exploded, and he glared at him angrily.

"Who dares to call me a disciple!!"

On the side of the road, in front of a tea stand, a figure in a spacious Taoist robe, with a floating dust on his arm and a mahogany sword on his back, stood in the afternoon sun, stroking his beard and smiling.
