Heaven's Path

After accepting the earth escape, he had already left Lingyun Peak for more than a thousand miles in a blink of an eye. Chen Yunsheng felt that there was not much spiritual energy left in his body, and he might be buried alive if he didn't dig out.

Breaking through the ground, Chen Yunsheng looked around. This place is an official road, and there are some poplars and cypresses on both sides, all of which were deliberately cultivated. It was the middle of winter when only the bare branches of the poplars remained, while the cypresses were still green.

There are no shadows of the mountains in the surrounding area, and there are some pedestrians and horses passing by on the road from time to time. Fortunately, they were not seen by others when they broke through the ground just now, otherwise there would be some troubles.Although Chen Yunsheng didn't recover his spirit energy, he didn't want to stay here to meditate and practice. He forced himself to move forward along the official path.

He entered the mountain with Feiyunzi at the age of six, and now he is 16 years old. He has long forgotten his knowledge of the world. He has spent more time with monkeys than with Feiyunzi these years, so at first Entering the world is unavoidably a bit novel.

After walking along the official road for twenty or thirty miles, there was a burst of bustling sound.Chen Yunsheng closed his eyes and watched, and saw a group of people not far ahead, surrounded by the roadside, pointing and pointing from time to time, not knowing what to say.He quickened his pace, walked up to the crowd, and stepped on his feet to look inside.In the crowd, a woman in a purple shirt was lying on her side on the ground, with black hair hanging down her shoulders, and a golden hair ring had been scattered at the tip of her hair.His face was black and red, his skin was uneven, but his eyes were as bright and psychic as autumn water.

The woman seemed to have some discomfort in her body, and she was limp on the ground, seemingly unable to use half of her strength.Surrounded by a few porters who were walking around, pointing and guessing the woman's origin, even some kind-hearted people stepped forward to ask, intending to help.After looking at it for a long time, Chen Yunsheng turned around and left. Now that his spirit energy is exhausted, he urgently needs to find a place to meditate to recover. Naturally, he doesn't want to cause trouble.

At this time, the sound of the Luan bell was heard on the official road, and a team of horses came galloping. The leader had a wide mouth and a square mouth, and a beard on his cheeks was like a steel hook. His eyes were full of fierce light, and he was wrapped in a Wearing a green robe.

Sitting on the horse next to him was a Taoist priest wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe. He was in his thirties, with a horse face, scorched yellow complexion, and sparkling eyes. He seemed to be a practitioner.

Behind the two were more than a dozen servant-like figures, all disheveled and sloppy, a typical image of dog legs.

The big man in the lead rolled his eyes strangely when he saw the excitement on the side of the road. He urged his horse to run towards the crowd, and he didn't show any sign of slowing down when he got close.The crowd spread out in all directions like a tidal wave. People with good eyesight recognized who this person was, turned around and left without daring to stay at all, and Chen Yunsheng followed the crowd aside.

The big man with a wide mouth glanced at the purple-shirted girl on the ground, his big mouth curled into a scoop shape, and he cursed, "It turns out she's an ugly girl, she's not qualified to be a maid for me, but she can be used as a door god to ward off evil spirits."

An evil slave behind him rushed up, glanced at the girl in purple shirt, and said to the big man: "Young master, there is just a lack of a servant girl in this servant's house and wants to take this ugly girl back."

"Look at your virtue, you've been by my side for so long and you're still so wretched. This woman lying limp by the side of the road probably has some kind of tuberculosis or willow. Don't you get infected and lose your life." The big man said displeasedly, He had a loud voice, without any scruples at all, and the people around could hear him clearly, knowing that this person was bullying, so they all dared not speak out, and looked at the woman in purple shirt with some sympathy.

"Master Xie is thinking about it. I only use her as a servant girl. Look at her ugly appearance. She is even worse than Sister Feng'er who is setting fire in Baihuayuan. How dare you touch her body." The evil slave said with a wicked smile.

"Okay, hurry up, don't delay our business." The big man said without looking.

The evil slave came towards the purple-shirted woman with a grin, his face full of obscenity, and said with a smile as he walked: "You are lucky to meet the uncle today, otherwise even if you are hungry, you will starve to death, you ugly ghost that no one wants. From now on, it will be of your benefit to serve the uncle honestly and comfortably."

Two big hands stretched out towards the woman.

"Get out!" Chen Yunsheng growled and stood up.He was nearly 17 years old this year, his figure was basically grown, although he was not very tall and gnarled, he was very vigorous, which made the evil slave back three points.

The reason why he stood up is not even clear to himself, perhaps because he has lived in the mountains and forests for more than ten years so that he can't understand the behavior of suppressing others' freedom.In the mountains, the reason why the weak eat the strong is to wrap their stomachs.Even if a pig appears in front of a full-fed and dozing tiger, it probably won't even glance at it.

There was a low sigh from the crowd, as if they were feeling sorry for the young man.

The evil slave saw clearly the person coming from the opposite side, and then saw that the other party was only one person, he immediately came to Chen Yunsheng, the distance between the two was only one foot.

Looking at the disgusting face that was almost stuck to his face, Chen Yunsheng couldn't help frowning.

The evil slave looked back at his master, and got a stern look, and his expression became even more arrogant as soon as he had confidence in his heart.Pointing at Chen Yunsheng's nose, he cursed: "Where did you come from, and you also learn to save the beauty like other heroes? But, you are neither a hero, nor is this woman a beauty. It really makes me sick."

Chen Yunsheng didn't understand what the hero meant to save the beauty, he frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he could only get the superficial meaning.

The evil slave scolded a few times, seeing the other party frown in thought, pretending to be aggressive.He couldn't help being angry, and spat hard on Chen Yunsheng's face.

When we were on the mountain, the attacks of ordinary wild beasts were often fatal in one blow, so no one would spit. Chen Yunsheng was puzzled by this kind of non-aggressive behavior.But he knew that this was an attack that the other party thought.Wiping the spittle off his face with his cuff, Chen Yunsheng patted Jin Ling who was sitting on his shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Play a trick for them."

Jin Ling snorted lazily, and disappeared in the next breath, and the evil slave's Tianling Gai disappeared, and his pale brain immediately flowed out.This scene happened so suddenly, after the dead body fell to the ground for ten breaths, the crowd erupted.

The big man in the head stared strangely, and shouted: "Who dares to play tricks in front of grandpa."The people watching around saw that there was a life, and they ran away without a trace.

The Taoist priest in yellow didn't shout like a group of people. He frowned and stared at the nearby treetops.Slowly, all the evil slaves also followed the Taoist's gaze, and found a golden-haired monkey squatting on the treetop, playing with something in its hands, and after a closer look, it was the skull of the dead man.

The goons were in an uproar, followed by scolding, but none of them really dared to make a move.Seeing this scene, the big man was furious. He lifted his horsewhip and lashed at the dog legs on both sides several times, cursing: "What the hell are you looking at? Hurry up and catch the beast, I'll do it later!" It's going to eat its monkey brain raw. Can you just curse it out with your fucking mouth?"

The servants next to him were forced to get off their horses one after another, some drew their knives, some drew their swords, and surrounded the monkey.The Taoist priest in yellow seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, a shock happened.Jin Ling rushed to the evil slaves extremely nimbly, grabbed the skulls of three of them after a few ups and downs.The steel knives in the hands of the remaining two danced wildly, and one accidentally slashed at the other, causing blood to flow profusely.

Without saying a word, the Taoist muttered something, and made an orchid-like gesture with both hands, a few withered tree roots suddenly sprang up from the ground under Jin Ling's body, which seemed to envelop the golden monkey. Taoist came.The Taoist didn't rush, and with a wave of his finger, a row of wooden stakes emerged from the ground, each with the thickness of a bowl, blocking the monkey.

At this moment, the big man with a wide mouth suddenly yelled like killing a pig: "Ghost!" He turned his horse's head and was about to run away.An ice pick struck at lightning speed, passed through the chest, and the dead body of the big man fell to the ground.The same happened to the remaining evil slaves, and the whole process took the blink of an eye.

While guarding against the golden monkey's sharp claws, the Taoist squinted, and saw a shiny black skeleton standing three feet away from him, sizing him up with two clusters of green flames flickering in his eye sockets.He couldn't help being horrified, thinking to himself that among the nearby immortal cultivators, he hadn't heard of such a ghost.

The Taoist was distracted by his random thoughts, and the golden monkey broke through the row of wooden posts in front of him. He hurriedly dodged backwards, but was caught and swept by the golden spirit, leaving three bloodstains on his body.

The Taoist cast a spell reluctantly, bit the tip of his tongue, spit out a mouthful of blood, and pressed his hands on the ground, two black tree roots appeared on the ground in front of him, both as thick as the mouth of a bowl. come.

The monkey looked ferocious and didn't resist. It turned around and ran to the shoulder of Chen Yunsheng who was watching coldly, scratching his ears and cheeks, seemingly indifferent.

Hei Gu let out a few strange screams from his throat, and shot out a few ice picks from his palm, and came straight to the Taoist priest.The Taoist fell to one side, dodging the blow by rolling and crawling, his movements were very embarrassing.As soon as he stood firmly, he urged two thick black tree roots to attack the black bone.Black Bone's hands transformed into two spikes, fighting with the Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest is proficient in using wood attribute spells, but his body is very clumsy.After only a few rounds, he couldn't stand it anymore, and was forced by the black bone to retreat steadily. Finally, the black bone pressed the spike against his throat.

He asked old-fashionedly: "Taoist priest, let me ask you, what is the history of your party?"

The Taoist priest was restrained by others, so he answered honestly: "Xiao Dao became a monk in Shuangyi Mountain, five hundred miles outside Xianzhou City, and his master Gu Mu was the master. The powerful Wandering Dragon Gang."

"The big man in the head is the young master of the gang. Today I will go to handle some mundane affairs for my family teacher. I don't want to meet two fellow Taoists. I also hope that because they are all fellows, I will be merciful. Save my life."

"Oh? So you are under Gu Mu's sect, so let me ask you, is your master nearby?" Hei Gu's eyes flashed with fire, and he said slowly, as if he had some contacts with this real Gu Mu.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist knows the master, then we have misunderstood. To be honest, the master has not left the mountain. This time I went down the mountain with a group of brothers and sisters to do business. Each of us was accompanied by a dozen mortals and scattered. , if fellow Taoist wants to see the teacher, I can take you there." The Taoist said with bright eyes when he saw the hope of saving his life.

"What?" Hei Gu turned around, and an ice pick shot out from the index finger of his left hand, piercing the Taoist's throat, blood burst out, and the body fell to the ground.

"This person has no ability to resist, so why kill him?" Chen Yunsheng asked. In his heart, only those who can threaten him have the right to be killed.He wouldn't even take a look at those weak existences.

"Brother, how did you know that if we talk about vicious things in this world, we must be regarded as the master's heart. If this Taoist is a jackal and a beast, I don't have to be so decisive. Helpless people are treacherous, so they must kill people to silence them."

Ever since Fei Yunzi explained to Chen Yunsheng, he has become more and more respectful towards Black Bones, and vaguely regards him as his predecessor, so he doesn't feel disgusted when he hears Black Bones' old-fashioned words.

Chen Yunsheng dug out some scattered silver taels from the scrambled corpses, amounting to as much as 500 taels, and found a black jade tablet from the Taoist with the word "wood" engraved on it, which seemed to be a token under the ancient wooden door .

Putting both the jade token and the silver in the storage bag, he opened his mouth and spewed out fireballs, burning all the corpses to ashes without leaving a trace.After all, in the future, when traveling between prefectures and counties, the use of silver is indispensable. He came down from the mountain alone without any money, and the people at the bottom of the mountain used silver to trade.

Ever since Black Bones taught him to kill people last time, remember to pack up his belongings, Chen Yunsheng has acquired such a habit.

At this time, the crowd on the side of the road had already dispersed without a trace, and the ugly girl in purple shirt had been standing aside for a long time.The woman bowed to Chen Yunsheng and Heigu Yingying, turned her wonderful eyes on Chen Yunsheng's face, and said: "Little lady, I thank the two immortals for their help to avoid being humiliated. You are so polite."

"Who are you? Why are you paralyzed by the side of the road." Hei Bone asked casually.

The purple-shirted woman sighed and said: "The little girl's surname is Liu and her name is Xiaoshan. Her hometown is not within the territory of Xianzhou. Although there are generations of scholars in the family, in recent years, due to the continuous war disasters in her hometown, she fled here with her family. I don't want to I met a thief on the road, killed my parents and relatives, and left me a cheap life, and I wanted to sell it to Goulan."

"Thanks to my ingenuity, I escaped in the middle of the night. The thief was guilty of being a thief and did not dare to chase after him. I escaped all the way by selling my belongings, and finally fell on the side of the road because of mental and physical exhaustion." When he said sadly, tears dripped like broken beads The tick-tock flowed out from the sharp eyes, and anyone with a heart as hard as a stone could not help but be moved.

Hei Gu was a little impatient when he heard this, and left a sentence, "We need to find a secluded place to restore mana quickly." He carelessly turned into a pile of bones and put them in the storage bag by Chen Yunsheng.

You have never seen the ups and downs of this old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. Naturally, he has long been impatient to hear a little girl crying.He had turned his spiritual thoughts on the woman countless times, but he didn't find any gathering of spiritual energy. Even if he was suspicious of the woman's unusually calm expression, he had no intention of probing the truth of what the woman said.

Chen Yunsheng handed over a hundred taels of silver to the woman from the hundreds of taels of silver he collected just now, and said, "I heard that as long as you have silver taels in the world, you can live well. Use this new money to settle down."

The woman did not take the money, but stared at Chen Yunsheng with a pair of autumn water.For some reason, he lowered his head in embarrassment when he was stared at by the woman's water-cutting eyes. This was absolutely extraordinary in Chen Yunsheng's opinion.Back then, he and a female wolf stared at each other for a day and a night.Could it be that the woman is fiercer than the she-wolf?Chen Yunsheng suddenly had this strange thought.

After a while, there were tears in the woman's eyes again, and she said sadly: "Mr. Zhai has a kind heart, and he will surely be blessed in the future. You take the money back. If I take the silver, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find it." A place to settle down. I am a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. Wouldn't it be easier for thieves to miss me with so much silver?"

Chen Yunsheng frowned, and felt that what the woman said was reasonable, so he murmured: "In your opinion, what should we do with today's matter? Do you have a master who is still alive?" Chen Yunsheng said casually.In his heart, besides parents and relatives, most people in the world also have a master, just like him.

It also had an unusual effect in the woman's ears. She was astonished in her heart, and the miserable expression on her face hadn't faded away. The two emotions with different effects were entangled together, which was really weird.But this is no different in Chen Yunsheng's eyes.

The woman smiled wryly and said: "My relatives were all killed by thieves, and I guess the relatives who stayed in my hometown were also slaughtered by the war. It's better for the little girl to go on the road with the young master. Although the slave's family is ugly, she can be the young master's maidservant, and serve the young master sooner or later. Living is worse than wandering in the mountains."

Hearing the woman talking about relatives and not mentioning Master, Chen Yunsheng also acquiesced. After all, Master is like relatives, and there is no difference.

"This..." He immediately thought of Xiaoyue, the maid who served him when he was a child, and the woman's gentle eyes and motherly care suddenly came to his mind.

He immediately patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I just need such a maid."

Liu Xiaoshan was a little shocked by Chen Yunsheng's quick statement?She thought to herself, "Could it be that this person is also a beast in clothes? I have this face, and he still has hope?" The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, but the words had already been spoken and it was inconvenient to take them back, the woman nodded silently.

Chen Yunsheng didn't look at the woman's expression, and continued: "My surname is Chen and my name is Yunsheng. The Taoist brother called him Black Bone just now. The monkey on my body is Jinling, quite human, don't be afraid of it." Jin Ling heard Talking about himself, he made a face at the woman, but there were still a few drops of blood on his hands.

"Brother Chen can just call me Xiaoshan, and my little sister has to rely on me a lot on the way." Liu Xiaoshan said obediently.

Chen Yunsheng thought to himself, he is sixteen years old this year, this woman seems to be only older than him, there is no need for him to be younger, why does she consider herself a younger sister, can he tell my age?He has lived in the mountains for a long time, so he doesn't know what is called in the world. "Little sister" is a self-deprecating term for young girls, and has little to do with age.It's like some women in the world are born heroic and are unwilling to descend to their seniority, so they often use another title, such as girl nainai, old lady.
