Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 268: Traveling in the middle of Xiaoyao Cloud, encountering Painted Skin outside Jinguan City
At dawn the next day, Jiang You left after cultivating his spiritual power.

A black sword light suddenly emerged from the clouds high in the sky, and a figure suddenly rushed out from the other side.

A man is a boy until death, and Jiang You did not escape the scope of these words. He was the only one in the sky, and he actually felt childlike, playing in the clouds like a child.

With a heart as pure as a child, you can break away from the rules and regulations imposed on adults in society and do whatever you want. This is the carefree state required for spiritual practice. If you have the strength and still live with your hands and feet, what is the feeling of still living forever? ?It's just another torture, another torture.

"Get ready! Run at 32!"

When Jiang You counted to two, he stepped on the five-color light and rushed out.

The Shengxie Sword behind him let out a sword cry, accusing Jiang You of being shameless, and then he chased after him from behind with a flash of sword light.

One person and one sword started a racing game in the air.

There was no urgency or pressure on this trip to Shu. Jiang You didn't have to rush, he just had fun all the way.

Sometimes, he lay on the Sword of Victory and took out an orange-yellow wine gourd from the space ring. The wine gourd was the spirit wine obtained by Master Wu Qiufeng. The flying speed of the Sword of Victory also slowed down, and one leg would Drooping in the air, swaying, pouring a sip of wine into his mouth from time to time, humming a tuneless Qin opera, feeling endlessly comfortable.

Sometimes, he flew to the beautiful mountains and forests, sat on the sword, listened to the clouds, and quietly watched the sun slowly sink into the horizon, leaving a soft rose and orange color that dyed the sky and the earth red. A layer of twilight makes everything look so quiet and peaceful.

Sometimes, I sing loudly under the bright starry sky, sometimes I wear a broken straw hat that I knitted and fish by the stream.

When the sun was shining brightly, he would find a flat mountain wall warmed by the sun and take a nap.

When it rains heavily, he will go shirtless and fly at full speed in the storm, letting the rain soak him all over.

When flying was boring, he jumped directly from the Shengxie Sword, smashed a hole in the white clouds, and let his body fall freely. Just when he was about to hit the ground, the Shengxie Sword flew out from behind and smashed his body. catch.

Just like that, Jiang You followed his footsteps without considering the time or itinerary. The three-day journey took him a full week before he left Qin Province and entered Shu.

The terrain of Shu is higher in the west and lower in the east, sloping from northwest to southeast.There is a basin in the middle and high mountains on both sides. As soon as Jiang You entered Shu, he was immediately shocked by the spectacular sight of peaks and mountains gathering together and angry waves.

Since ancient times, there has been a feeling that the road to Shu is difficult and it is difficult to reach the sky. Now that the mountains have grown, the situation has become even worse. Looking from a high altitude, all the way to the horizon are densely packed peaks breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, just like overseas fairy mountains.

Fortunately, Jiang You could fly with his sword. If he could walk on the ground, not to mention the strange beasts in the deep mountains and forests, he didn't know when he would be able to get out of the mountains and rivers.

Jiang You also pressed his head and wandered among these mountains. Looking along the way, there were indeed six dragons returning to the sun at the top, rushing waves and turning back to the Sichuan below, withered pines hanging upside down against the cliffs, and rushing waterfalls. There is noisy fighting.

There are mourning birds calling ancient trees, and Zigui singing at the moon at night.

Jinguan City, which is located in the basin, does not have a curfew like Chang'an City. At this time, the lights are brightly lit, people are coming and going on the streets, and it is a lively scene. However, in the suburbs four or five kilometers away, it has become a forgotten ruin.

Under the pale moonlight, the city roads have been submerged in weeds. The dilapidated buildings on both sides are covered with black moss. The window glass is broken, like open black eyes.

The huge billboard fell to the ground, and the face of the beautiful woman printed on it was covered with rust-red stains. Her originally sweet smile also looked strangely oozing under the greasy light.

The road was littered with messy garbage and broken glass, and there were several shell craters and black dried blood around them, indicating that this place had been baptized by artillery fire before.

Abandoned vehicles can be seen everywhere, the steel bodies reflecting cold silver light, the doors of roadside shops are open, and the goods on the shelves are scattered everywhere.

However, in this desolate and ruined place, a few lights came from a closed gap in the iron gate.

Li Chun was wiping the table with a rag. Most of the residents who survived the turmoil had already entered the city. He himself had awakened the sequence, but he didn't want to work for the awakening organization in the city, so he opened a hotel here specifically for Receiving awakened people who went out of the city to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs, their lives were relatively smooth.

It was already late at night. There was no business in the hotel today, and not a single awakened person checked in. Li Chun let out an imperceptible sigh while cleaning the table.

Suddenly, a knock on the door made Li Chun startle, "It's so late, and there's still someone coming to stay at the hotel?"

Li Chun thought about it, took out the pistol from his waist, came behind the iron door and said, "Who is outside?"

"What else can you do when you come to a hotel? Of course you're staying in a hotel!"

A crisp female voice sounded, and Li Chun breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't weird!
Li Chun put the pistol back on his waist and kept holding it in his hand. He opened the iron door. With the light in the room, he saw a woman standing outside the iron curtain door. She looked to be around thirty, wearing dark red clothes and black Her hair is draped over her shoulders, which makes her look quite pretty.

Li Chun's sharp eyes looked up and down at the woman, but found nothing strange, so he opened the iron curtain door and let the woman in.

After coming in, Li Chun's attitude became much warmer. He smiled and asked the woman whether it was already late at night. Did she rush into the mountain tomorrow or did she just come out because she wasted time in the mountain?

The woman said that she would go to the mountain tomorrow and stay in the hotel today. She would set out for the mountain at dawn without wasting any time during the day.

Hearing this, Li Chuncai released his hand that had been holding the handle of the gun and opened the room for the woman.

After settling the woman, Li Chun was in a good mood, thinking that the business was finally open today, and thinking that there would be no one behind him, he turned off the lights and went back to his room to rest.

In the first half of the night, everything was calm and nothing happened. In the second half of the night, Li Chun was awakened by the sound of subtle footsteps in his sleep.

Li Chun took out his pistol from under his pillow, pointed it at his door, and held his breath to listen carefully.

"Da, da, da!" The footsteps in the darkness gradually became louder, getting closer and closer to Li Chun's room, and Li Chun opened the safety of the pistol.

The footsteps finally stopped at his door. "Click!" The sound of iron locks clashing came from the wooden door, and people outside were pushing the door open.

After pushing for a while and finding that it couldn't be pushed open, he started knocking on the door.

"whats the matter?"

Li Chun sat up from the bed and asked.

"I couldn't sleep at night. I was alone in the room and was miserable. Would I like to have a chat with you?"

When Li Chun heard this, his heart suddenly surged. Behind the horizon, order and the relationship between men and women also became chaotic.

Under the precarious and harsh living conditions, hedonism has begun to prevail, especially among male and female awakened people. After long-term battles with weirdness and tense nerves, it is even more necessary to relax. Basically, two people who have never met each other can just look at each other. If they fall in love with each other, they can have sex that night, and go their separate ways the next day. Everyone can get what they want, and there is no need to even know the other person's name.

Li Chun had encountered this kind of sexy thing before, so he understood it as soon as the woman said this. "At this time, I am going to the mountains tomorrow. I am too stressed. Do you want to relax tonight?"

Li Chun had been running a hotel alone in the suburbs for a long time, and he was under a lot of pressure. He was also very angry when he encountered this incident.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, before Li Chun had time to speak, a dark figure jumped into his arms.

Soon, bursts of indescribable sounds came from the room.

"Crack!"

Suddenly a crisp sound came out, and then the movement inside disappeared. After a period of silence, the sound came out again, and it was different. The sound was very strange, like the sound of chewing and swallowing.

The cold moonlight shone on the door of the hotel, a moist night wind blew, and heavy rain poured down. The iron curtain door rattled, and the sound spread far and wide through the rain curtain in the darkness.

Green mist filled the mountains, and the heavy rain turned into drizzle after dawn. Everything in the mountains was wet, and the new leaves of the plants were also shiny green.

Jiang You got up from the cave, walked to the gray donkey tied at the entrance of the cave, took out a handful of fodder from the space ring, and fed it to the donkey.

When Jiang You was approaching Jinguan City, he found a donkey in the mountains, still wearing a rein. It must have run out from the surrounding area and was wandering in the mountains and forests. Miraculously, it was not eaten by monsters in the mountains and forests. Live until now.

After Jiang You saw the donkey, he had a thought in his mind and simply landed next to the donkey. The donkey had not seen humans in the mountains and forests for a long time. It was also very close to Jiang You and was led away by Jiang You very obediently.

After that, Jiang You cut a cave directly in the mountain and practiced until the afternoon before planning to leave.

At this time, Jinguan City could be seen in the distance on the mountain, and there were also narrow paths in the mountain. Jiang You hung the Shengxie Sword on the side of the donkey, rested his head on the donkey's neck, and lay comfortably on the donkey's back. Go up, put a straw hat on your head, and enjoy yourself.

The donkey had also experienced the baptism of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it was also humane to be able to survive alone in the mountains for such a long time, so it safely carried Jiang You along the trail towards Jinguan City.

Jiang You had been too relaxed these days and fell asleep on the donkey's back unknowingly.

On the clothes, there are traces of dust and wine, and you can travel everywhere.

This body fit is the poet's last moment, riding a donkey into the sword gate in the drizzle.

Jiangyou Jianmen is not on your way, so you really can't get in, but there is a poem that says: Look at the red and wet place at dawn, and the flowers are heavy in Jinguancheng.

Jinguancheng is also in the poem, and it can be regarded as entering the realm of a poet!
Jiang You woke up and took off the straw hat covering his face. He found that the sky was already dark, the light rain had stopped, and there were dark clouds on the wild path.

Jiang You turned over and sat up, shaking off all the moisture on his body. He looked forward and found that he was still not far away from Jinguan City.

Jiang You smiled and patted the donkey's head, "You beast, are you lazy while I'm sleeping? You've come so far and you haven't arrived yet!"

The donkey brayed aggrievedly, and the horse ran to death while looking up the mountain, not to mention that he was just a donkey?
By the time Jiang You came out of the mountain, it was already dark.

Jiang You came to the outskirts and found that the place had been completely destroyed. There were even bomb craters on the road. There were actually shells washing the ground here. Is it because the handling was weird?

There were not as many extraordinary organizations in Shu as there were in Qin. Only then did Jiang You realize how miserable the people's livelihood would be in a place without a strong dragon in charge.

Just when Jiang You was about to head straight into the city, he suddenly noticed lights on the street in front of him.

"Is there anyone still living here?"

Jiang You pulled the reins, kicked the donkey's belly with his legs, and headed towards the light.

When I arrived, I found that this was a three-story hotel building. The iron door at the door was opened, and a graceful woman was cleaning the table inside.

After seeing Jiang You, he greeted him with a smile, "Guest, are you going to the city?"

The woman spoke with a strong Shu accent, and she must be a local. Jiang You smiled and said, "Yes, I wasted time in the mountains and only came out now!"

"It's getting late now, and there's not much we can do after entering the city. Prices in the city are also high. It's unfair to pay for a night's room for free. Why not just rest in a small shop. It's a good time to go to the city early tomorrow morning!"

Jiang You was about to refuse. He had just woken up and was feeling refreshed. He had already been delayed for too much time on the road and it was time to hurry up.

But then he noticed that the Shengxie Sword vibrated slightly. Jiang You's mind changed. He looked carefully at the woman in front of him and found nothing strange. However, when he moved his nose, he smelled a faint smell of blood from the woman. .

"That's fine too!"

Jiang You got off the donkey and asked, "Is there a place to keep my donkey?"

“Just put it in the lobby!”

After Jiang You brought the donkey in, he went upstairs and entered the room under the leadership of the woman.

The night is deep and silence has fallen into the hotel.

Jiang You sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at the wall. Under the perspective, Jiang You stared at the woman.

Could it be that this thing is weird because it can trigger a warning for Shengxie?However, in Jiang You's eyes, the woman behaved, talked, sat and lay like an ordinary person, and even when he looked into the secluded area, he couldn't see her feet.

In Jiang You's eyes, after the woman entered the room, she first sat on a stool with her back to Jiang You and took off all her clothes, then stood up and stood in front of a mirror.She reached behind her head with both hands and pulled hard, and a layer of skin was torn open. The woman took off this layer of skin as if she were taking off her clothes, revealing the true face of the blood-red evil spirit underneath.

Then the evil ghost's fingers glowed red and carved on the human skin.

"Good guy, is this a painted skin? This evil ghost can actually have a conscious existence, and it can also hide from my Tongyou, there is something!"

After the evil ghost tore off the human skin, Jiang You launched Tongyou again towards it. This time, he could see the true nature of the evil ghost.

As soon as Jiang You's magical power came out, the evil ghost seemed to be aware of it. When he turned his head, he saw a bloody grimace with exposed teeth and green eyes staring at him.
