Lian Ying went out of the city with a team of people.All the way quickly, without stopping, most of the day arrived at Dunhou Town.Lian Ying didn't plan to take these people to that village together, although they were all martial artists, their strength was too low, and they only had the level of internal strength.Moreover, all of them practiced external kung fu, and none of them practiced internal kung fu.Such a person brought over and encountered a ghost, and it was just a waste of life.There is no need for this.When the body is found, let them collect it.found an inn, and Lian Ying told them to spend the night here.He changed to a fast horse and left Dunhou Town alone along the official road.At this time, it was still daytime, and when I looked at the sky, it should have been halfway through.It is between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., and about 2 p.m.Out of Dunhou Town, Lian Ying was also non-stop, hoping to get to that village before dark.The clouds on the horizon were thick, and even in the afternoon, it looked very gloomy.Bang!
A thunderclap resounded through the sky, and the horses under their crotches neighed, as if frightened.Along the way, more than an hour passed, and it was dusk.It's early winter, the daylight hours are shortened, and night falls quickly."
Look at this day, it looks like it's going to rain" "According to Sister Xiu'er, that village should be near here." ”Lian Ying raised her eyes to look, but she didn't get anything.Rumble!
There was another thunderclap, and scarlet lightning streaked across the sky.Lian Ying frowned and patted the back of the horse's neck to comfort her.After a while, it was completely dark.Lian Ying was riding a horse and suddenly noticed a fire in the distance.A lightning bolt illuminated the night, and Lian Ying could see clearly that there was a village there.Lian Ying didn't doubt him in her heart, and rushed towards the deserted village.In the dark night, a strong wind whistled, blowing away the clouds in the sky and sprinkling the moonlight.Obviously, there was lightning and thunder just now, and it looked like it was going to rain.But when he entered the village, the sky was quiet, and even the clouds were blown away, and the full moon hung high.Look at the fallen leaves all over the ground, and the dead trees around that have been eaten and rotted by insects, and have long been hollow.There are also cracks on the mottled and dilapidated earthen walls, which makes Lian Ying feel strange inexplicably.He remained silent, dismounted, and tied the horse to the side.There were several carriages in front of them, filled with supplies, and next to them were several earthen stoves with iron pots on them.No signs of a fight were seen, and no bodies were found.A gust of wind blew, and Lian Ying moved her nose.There was a faint rancid smell in the wind, which seemed to be the smell of some kind of meat after it had been left out for too long and had gone bad.Lian Ying looked intently, the wind was blowing from the side of the carriage, maybe it was the meat inside, and it had been rotten for too long.Lian Ying listened with her ears pricked up, and could vaguely hear the sound of chirping coming from the earthen house with the firelight.It's like someone is nibbling on meat.With a slight look in his eyes, he put one hand on the hilt of his sword, and quietly walked towards the earthen house.Just as he was about to break down the door.With a creak, the wooden door opened.The firelight shone out, and a young man dressed as a scholar appeared in front of him.As soon as the scholar opened the door, he saw a young man with a cold face and a long sword.Suddenly frightened, his body shook violently, his mouth screamed, and he fell to the ground.Lian Ying was expressionless, staring at the scholar for a few seconds before looking away.There was also a man sitting by the fire.Lian Ying was stunned, why is this guy here?
This is an old Taoist priest in a shabby Taoist robe, but he does not have the image of a Taoist priest at all.Sitting casually on the edge of the fire, holding a roast chicken in his hand and gnawing non-stop, the sound of gnawing meat just now was made by this guy."
What did you do to him?"
Lian Ying asked.When the old Taoist priest raised his head, he was also stunned."
Isn't this the eldest prince of Lian?
How did you get here?
Come on, come on, please come in!
”The old Taoist priest seemed very enthusiastic, as if this was his home."
Huh?"
Lian Ying's face darkened."
I didn't do anything to him, I just told some stories about ghosts and ghosts, and scared him that there might be something here, so that he could leave while it was just night.But how did he know that this scholar was so timid and so frightened.But it's also your fault, who made you walk without a sound of footsteps, I didn't even find out. ”The old Taoist priest smiled, gulped down the roast chicken, solved it after dividing five by two, swallowed it, and wiped his mouth with his hand.He didn't care about the image at all, and his grease-covered hands rubbed against his robe.With Lian Ying's current cultivation, if he deliberately hides the footsteps, ordinary people really can't find it.The scholar also came back to his senses and looked at the two of them."
Dao Chief, do you know each other?"
The scholar planned to stay here for the night, but soon after he sat down, the wooden door was pushed open, and it was the old Taoist priest who entered."
Of course I do!"
The old Taoist priest laughed, "This is a famous big man in Spring City!"
Don't you want to take the fall exam in Spring City?
Now, you hurry up and build a good relationship with him, maybe you can go through the back door, hehe!
”"Really!?
When the scholar heard this, he was excited, and he immediately stood up and wanted to have a relationship with Lian Ying.Just seeing Lian Ying's cold gaze, he had the idea of retreating again.Lian Ying was speechless.This old Taoist priest is none other than the only owner of Chuncheng's internal strength.The master of pure emptiness, the chief of pure emptiness.This Qingxu Dao is also powerful, with only one health preservation internal skill, he has lived to be one hundred and thirty years old, and he still has black hair, and he looks like he is in his forties, that is, his body bones look a little thinner.This made many ordinary people in Spring City who didn't know the truth respect him as a living immortal, and often went to Qingxuguan to worship incense money.Lian Ying walked in with her feet raised and found a place to sit.Qingxu Lao Dao looked at him with a very curious look."
I don't know why Gongzi Lian is here?"
He asked suddenly."
I haven't asked you what you're doing, but you're asking about me?"
Lian Ying and Qingxu Lao Dao are also old acquaintances, and when he was six years old, he planned to worship him as a teacher to learn internal skills, but the other party refused to accept apprentices.Later, the old Taoist priest also helped Lian Ying solve a few cases together, and he also had some skills, and later when Lian Ying learned swordsmanship and boxing, the old Taoist priest also pointed out a few times, and the two were also teachers and friends.It's just that this old Taoist priest is too shameless, greedy for food and wine, and especially greedy for money.He is reluctant to accept apprentices to teach his own unique health skills, but he is willing to sell them for money.This is inevitably too undisciplined.Therefore, Lian Ying didn't have a good face every time he saw him, and called him a stinky Taoist."
Haha, it's okay, it's okay."
Qingxu Lao Dao laughed, and looked at Lian Ying meaningfully, "Lian Gongzi, I don't know if that health practice is okay?"
”"General."
Lian Ying replied casually.Lian Ying has a headache when it comes to health skills, and he has now practiced dozens of health skills.The old Taoist priest didn't care, touched his stomach, and stood up: "Old Taoist, I haven't eaten enough, there is still a lot of food in the carriage outside, I'll go get some more, do you want Gongzi?"
”Lian Ying shook her head.Seeing this, Qingxu Lao Dao walked out directly.Walking to the door, he reached into his clothes and looked left and right a few times, as if he wanted to touch something.He lowered his head and muttered, "It's hard to do, why is he here."
If something happens to him, how can I mess around in Spring City, alas, it's hard to mess up."
