Fu Shifeng

Chapter 330 Returning to the old ground

The frosty wind was biting, and the red sand that stood in the desert was lifeless. Even though it was bright, most people in the city huddled in their houses to avoid the cold. Even the jade mines on the outskirts of the city did not see slave labor.

The idle men in the town gathered in the inn, drinking and gambling. The shopkeeper looked at these familiar faces and was not too warm. Instead, he was worried that they would have a dispute and break the things in the shop.

Seeing that the gamblers at those tables were getting louder and louder, the store owner was thinking about inviting them out. Suddenly, two figures pushed the door open and entered. The cold wind swept into the hall, making everyone's skin tremble.

Just as he was about to turn around and curse, he saw two figures, one red and one black, crossing the threshold and entering the inn. Although the visitor was wearing a curtain hat and couldn't see his facial features clearly, his tall, straight and graceful figure, as well as his long legs outlined by the ironed trousers, made the hearts of young and old men agitate, and the hall suddenly became quiet. There was only the slightest sound of wind.

Although this area of ​​the Western Region is a mixed bag of barbarians and Han people, and there are all kinds of weird people, there are not many women like this who can arouse lust just by looking at them. Even the most popular singer and dancer in Quzhi City can't do it. Comparable to these two women.

The gamblers at those tables were no longer interested in playing with the dice. They all rolled their eyes and looked up and down at the two new women. Some of them were eager to step forward, but saw that they were carrying knives and swords at their waists. Those who are more discerning can tell from their steps and movements that they have martial arts skills.

However, when traveling in the Western Regions, it is not uncommon to have martial arts skills, unless one has the courage to travel wildly in the Western Regions, like the "Baochang Fierce Sword" did in the early years.

Now there are just two little girls, so what if they are armed with weapons? Wouldn't it be nice to have it delivered to your doorstep?

"Are you two here to stay in the hotel?" The store owner stood behind the counter and looked at the two women, one red and one black.

The woman in red took off her curtain hat, revealing a face with deep eyes and a high nose. Her long dark brown hair was slightly curly, and her eyes were as green as jade, bright, moving and incomparable. In the quiet inn, one can even vaguely hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

"Staff, please have a glass of wine." Afu casually placed a Persian gold coin on the counter.

"Come right away." The shopkeeper's eyes sparkled, and he immediately brought a clean glass and filled it with wine.

Afu leaned against the counter and took a sip of the wine, frowning slightly. Judging from her daily habit of using everything in a refined and expensive way, she obviously felt that this wine was too crude.

"Store, your wine is not good, it makes the beauty angry!" A sharp-eyed customer noticed the details and said in a loud voice: "If you still want to continue the business, then quickly take out the wine from your cellar!"

The store owner changed his color slightly, but couldn't resist, so he turned around and headed to the wine cellar.

"Thank you." Afu raised his eyebrows and smiled, making the men's bodies tremble and their desire become more intense.

Immediately, a few bold guys gathered around, with obscene expressions on their faces, and asked with a smile: "Young lady looks like an outsider at first sight, why do you want to come to our Hongsha Town?"

Afu took out two figures, namely Cheng Sanwu and Chiyang: "Have you ever seen these two people? The man and woman are both about eight feet tall. The woman has red hair, which is very conspicuous."

"I wonder what the little lady's relationship is with them?" Someone leaned against the counter and wanted to kiss Fangze.

"They are prisoners arrested by the government. They fled to the Western Regions. I am here to catch them and collect their rewards." Afu twisted her body gracefully and skillfully avoided the dirty hands that were trying to wrap around her waist. However, this action was more tempting in the eyes of the men. people.

"Prisoners? I wonder what they have committed, and you want two delicate beauties to arrest them in person?" Someone was staring at Qin Wangshu, who was dressed in a black outfit. She quietly raised her hand and pressed the hilt of the sword, ready to kill the offending person at any time. Cut off the elder's hand.

"It's nothing more than murder and arson." Afu shook the picture of Cheng Sanwu: "I heard that this person has been active in the Western Regions before. Do any of you remember it?"

Originally, the guests all focused on the two of them, but it wasn't until they saw Cheng Sanwu's figure that they muttered, "Why does this guy look like the 'Baochang Fierce Sword'?"

Someone asked: "Who?"

"It's the thug from Baochang Society in Quzhi City, the ruthless guy who single-handedly killed all the more than 80 horse thieves from the Golden Eagle Department!"

"That guy?! Didn't he say he went to the Central Plains?"

"The Baochang Society is gone, why would he come back?"

Seeing the frightened and frightened expressions of these guests, Afu couldn't help but smile. It seemed that although Cheng Sanwu had been away from the Western Regions for some years, his legend was still circulating in the Western Regions, just like a child crying.

"I have seen them, especially the woman, who has red hair, is taller than the man, and carries a large knife like a door panel."

At this time, the store turned around and poured another bottle of wine.

"Oh? The two of them have been to Hongsha Town?" Afu asked.

"Yes, it happened a while ago." The store owner said, "At that time, I was delivering food and wine to a mine in the suburbs, and I happened to see someone having a fight there."

"A fight? Why?" Afu was curious.

The shopkeeper motioned to Cheng Sanwu: "He seemed to want to buy jade, but the price couldn't be negotiated, and then he beat the mine manager seriously and injured him... Oh, they also seemed to have kidnapped a half-dead slave worker."

Afu shook the cup gently. She was confused for a moment and couldn't figure out the purpose of Cheng Sanwu's actions, but this unpredictable and carefree style was quite similar to Cheng Sanwu's nature.

"Did he say where he was going?" Afu asked.

"I only know that they went north. I don't dare to ask where exactly." The store owner could see that the two women in front of him were no ordinary people. He quickly answered their questions and sent them away safely. Maybe That's a good thing.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Afu drank the wine in one gulp, took away the figure of two people, and added a few more gold coins.

Such lavish spending surprised the store owner. Isn't it worth spending so much money to ask for information?

But before he could ask questions, more than a dozen men gasped and surrounded Afu and Qin Wangshu, laughing: "Little lady, I think it's getting late, why don't we stay in Hongsha Town tonight? We, brothers, might as well show our friendship as landlords, and I promise to keep you two beauties happy all night long."

"Oh?" Afu raised her brows slightly as she listened to the obscene laughter of the man in front of her, her green eyes flashed with a faint light, her red lips breathed out fragrance, and her voice was seductive and crazy: "I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to take care of you... like this Well, let’s fight each other, and whoever wins, we will serve him, okay?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the power of charm invisible to the naked eye touched the men's souls, making them become manic and violent, screaming at the person closest to them and raising their fists.

In just a few breaths, a series of muffled sounds and yells resounded through the inn, and blood and broken teeth flew out from the corner of the mouth. The storekeeper looked at the changes in front of him in astonishment. He grabbed the gold coins and shrank under the counter, secretly He kept scolding.

Afu and Qin Wangshu had already left the inn calmly, calm and untroubled.

"I didn't expect Cheng Sanwu to have really been here." Qin Wangshu was slightly surprised: "Sister Fu, how did you know?"

"You guessed it." Afu put on her curtain hat and said with a hint of smile: "Cheng Sanwu and I first met at the inn in Hongsha Town. We didn't know each other at the time, but we even fought against each other. "Cheng Sanwuhui came to Hongsha Town, does that mean he did it on purpose?" Qin Wangshu said.

"He should have expected that I would come to him, so he showed up in Hongsha Town so that I could get clues." Afu said with some emotion. Looking at the world, this clue may only be known to her, and she is more certain because of it. Now Cheng Sanwu was not taken over by Taotie.

"Then where should we go next? Quzhi City?" Qin Wangshu asked again.

Afu thought about it for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, it's Tianshan Tianchi."

……

The frozen ice in Tianchi is like a jade in the snow peaks of the mountains, hiding aura.

At this moment, on the shore of Tianchi, the soldiers stationed here by the Anxi Protectorate have long since disappeared. In the ice and snow, only Cheng Sanwu can be seen raising his hand, dozens of pill jade flying up and down, like a formation, and a ray of uncertain residual soul. Living among them is Anquti.

"Return to the Yang realm of the soul, lift the soul from the Nine Netherworlds, bring the dead back to life, and reverse prosperity!"

After raising his voice and shouting, a slave worker who had just expired was picked up from the air at Cheng Sanwu's feet. Dozens of jade pills were like water droplets, which sank directly into various parts of his body. An Quti's soul merged with his body.

Then the palm of his hand pressed down on his chest, and the mysterious force blasted in like thunder. The slave worker's body suddenly shook, his heart that had stopped beating again, and the energy and blood in his body began to flow vigorously again. The vitality that was about to dissipate was revived by this blow.

They saw the body of the slave worker falling to the snow, twitching and twisting. Anquti's soul took over the physical body with difficulty. Finally, he suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, swallowed and exhaled, exhaling warm white mist.

"How does it feel to come back from the dead?" Cheng Sanwu asked with a smile.

Anquti mustered up some strength, quickly turned over and knelt down, lowered his head and kowtowed: "I have received the grace of the venerable to be reborn. From now on, I am willing to serve the venerable, and I will swear allegiance to the death!"

"You are quite good at saying nice things." Cheng Sanwu didn't seem to care much about this.

"What I say is definitely not hypocritical. If you don't believe it, I would like to ask for a restraint on the soul to show your sincerity!" When An Quti said this, his body was shivering because of the cold.

An Quti's current body is that of a slave worker who was sick and about to die when Cheng Sanwu passed by Hongsha Town. He only had rags and rags, which were not enough to keep out the cold.

"If we talk about restrictions, it's not like there are no restrictions." Cheng Sanwu waved his hand, took out the clothes from the void and threw them to An Quti: "I use the elixir as a matchmaker to attract the energy of heaven and earth to reshape your body and meridians. , this move is also like leaving a restriction in your body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the Dharma!" An Quti took the clothes.

"Give me a law? Why do you say this?" Cheng Sanwu asked with great interest.

Anquti dressed casually and quickly replied: "If you meditate on meditation, you can have a panoramic view of the wonderful teachings left by the Venerable. It is called a prohibition, but it is actually enlightenment and enlightenment."

"You're too smart." Cheng Sanwu laughed, but it didn't sound like he was blaming.

An Quti smiled apologetically, then raised his eyes and looked around, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"How? How do you feel about being here again?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"I deeply feel that I am short-sighted, clumsy and ignorant." An Quti said: "After obtaining the Star Essence, I should actually leave as soon as possible, instead of sticking here, thinking that my magic skills are superb, but I was defeated and died."

Chi Yang spoke from the side: "You said that, are you still thinking of doing the same thing as before?"

Anquti said frankly: "The funeral sect who came from villains also yearned for the art of immortality, but their predecessors went astray and turned themselves into walking zombies in order to survive in the world forever.

"The villain didn't want to live like this, so he traveled around and looked for other ways, and finally found a way to use star marrow to transform into a god. This is almost the only way out for the villain."

"In the final analysis, I am still afraid of death." Chiyang dismissed it.

Cheng Sanwu looked up at the sky and muttered: "This is not necessarily true. If you can really understand the wonders of the heavens through the star marrow, and illuminate the world with the spiritual platform, you can indeed transcend life and death. Such achievements are no less than the supreme immortality. But this step is too far. , according to what you have done in the past, at best you can transform your body and refine your soul, which can indeed extend your life, but it still does not transcend life and death."

Although it was a short sentence, An Quti was shocked by the enlightenment and had to re-examine his past practices. But with just a little thought, Anquiti realized that he was too far behind.

"Master Wen is right. My foundation is biased and what I have learned is too complex. I am afraid my achievements in this life will stop here." An Quti thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief: "But His Holiness also said that I His magical attainments are unrivaled by few in the world, so it’s not too bad.”

"You can comfort yourself." Cheng Sanwu laughed out loud.

Chi Yang asked: "Then what are you doing here? Isn't it just to resurrect this guy?"

Cheng Sanwu was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked about something unrelated: "Dragon, what is it?"

The other two people obviously didn't understand. Cheng Sanwu looked at Chiyang: "You were originally a dragon. Don't you know what a dragon is?"

Chiyang opened her mouth and was about to retort, but she was stunned when she spoke. She had indeed been practicing towards the true dragon body in the past, but she couldn't really explain what a dragon was.

Cheng Sanwu looked at An Quti again: "You have been operating here for a long time. You must know that under the Tianchi is the spiritual cave where dragon energy gathers and grows. Otherwise, you would not have placed magical objects to absorb it."

When he said this, he waved his hand, and several obelisk pillars flew out from the cracks in the void. They were exactly the things An Quti had placed at the bottom of Tianchi.

"You can harness the dragon's energy for your own use, so tell me, what is a dragon?" Cheng Sanwu looked like a teacher taking an examination of a school disciple, which made people dare not ignore him.

Anquti thought carefully for a while and replied: "In my humble opinion, the dragon is the ultimate expression of the evolution of living beings. I have read some Central Plains scriptures, which mentioned that there are nine similarities in the description of real dragons.

"It can be seen that the true dragon is not any kind of animal scale, but it also possesses the characteristics of various living creatures. It is a great achievement that combines all kinds of transformations into one. If the villain guesses correctly, any living being can cultivate to become a dragon."
