Chapter 68
The addition of Yulou gives Chu Danfeng a sense of security that the plot is back on track. However, now is not a good time for children to fall in love. The most important thing now is to find Fang Qingya.
The group of people searched for more than ten miles around the place where the accident occurred, and found nothing except the bodies of some Chunyang Island disciples - the place had just been attacked by a human-faced spider, and even the NPCs who had been watching before ran away without a trace.
.
"Fortunately, the fourth senior brother's body has not been found. He is probably safe now." Chu Danfeng could only comfort the junior brothers and sisters in this pale way.
Lin Shuer sniffed: "The last thing I said to him was to call him boring."
Chu Danfeng felt uncomfortable in his heart, but as a senior brother, he had to hold on. Even though he knew that there was little hope, he still rubbed the little junior sister's head and promised: "As long as we haven't left the secret realm, we will continue to look for him and we will always find him."
.”
Lin Shuer said "Hmm" with a nasal sound, and suddenly she felt that she had found her backbone, just like when she was a child, she got into trouble and was afraid of being punished by her second senior sister or her master. As long as she ran to the fifth senior brother's bamboo house, she could escape all difficulties.
She flattened her mouth, grabbed Chu Danfeng's lapel, and wanted to act coquettishly with her fifth senior brother like she did when she was a child.
Hua Tingxuan's eyelids twitched when he saw it. He was about to find an excuse to pull away from his senior brother as usual, but saw Yulou making a move first.
Yulou grabbed Lin Shuer's hand first, separated her from Chu Danfeng, and comforted: "Sister, don't be sad. Brother Chu is right, there is always a way. Hey, I really envy you for being so gentle and handsome.
Senior brother."
Although the words were meant to comfort Lin Shuer, her eyes kept falling on Chu Danfeng's face, her eyes hot and seductive.
Lin Shuer: "???"
Hua Tingxuan: "!!"
Hua Tingxuan couldn't help but become vigilant. As early as in his previous life, he was very familiar with this Yulou girl. It was said that all the men who had seen her were so lost that they all fell under her pomegranate skirt.
Once upon a time, someone heard that "Your Majesty slept with a corpse all day long" and wanted to dedicate the Jade Tower to him. However, he was slapped on the horse's leg and was slapped on the head by Hua Tingxuan and kicked out of the hall.
No one dares to offer beauty to Your Majesty.
Therefore, in his previous life, he had only heard of Yulou but never met her. Unexpectedly, when he met her for the first time, he would see this woman seducing his sweetheart.
Mr. Hua instantly felt the intention to kill.
However, the party involved, Chu Danfeng, did not accept Mei Jiao Niang's flirting at all, and had no idea about the other people's flirting. From the beginning, he had been staring at an ancient locust tree intently.
Chu Danfeng suddenly said: "Come down!"
Everyone also looked at the ancient locust tree. It was unknown how old it was. It was a shade tree. From bottom to top, only the branches and leaves were sparse, and the tree was quiet.
Lin Shuer was puzzled: "Is there something on the tree?"
Yulou also looked puzzled.
Only Hua Tingxuan quietly released his spiritual consciousness, and then he suddenly realized, "Senior Brother, should I catch him out?"
Chu Danfeng nodded and said concisely: "Keep him alive."
Before the two female cultivators could realize what was going on, they saw Hua Tingxuan ducking into the canopy of the tree. A moment later, with a bunch of bluffing shouts, they landed on the ground carrying a pimple-faced young man.
Li Yunyi fell to the ground unsteadily, and fell into the mud. He scrambled to get up again, scratching his neck and said: "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you guys, you guys, if you dare to be rude to me, I will call you daddy..."
Chu Danfeng couldn't bear to hear him mention his scumbag father, so he slapped Li Yunyi on the back of the head with a bone, "It's useless to call anyone daddy! Do you know where the man in black wearing the hat went?"
Lin Shu'er was overjoyed when she heard this. Wouldn't there be hope in finding Fourth Senior Brother like this?
But Li Yunyi covered the back of his head and his face fell instantly: "If I knew, I wouldn't hide in the tree."
This is true. It was too chaotic at that time and everyone had too much time to take care of themselves. If the spoiled Young Master Li could find capable subordinates, why would he be in such a mess?
Lin Shuer said in disappointment: "What should we do?"
Chu Danfeng, however, without saying a word, showed his bright disciple sword and placed it on Li Yunyi's neck. He narrowed his peach blossom eyes and raised his long eyebrows: "Since it's useless, just kill him with one sword and earn ten spirit beads."
.”
"!!" Lin Shu'er had never seen the fifth senior brother speak so sternly and was startled.
Li Yunyi's face turned pale with fright: "Beauty Chu, you are so beautiful, how can you be so vicious? You really don't live up to your good looks!"
The corner of Chu Danfeng's lips twitched, and the disciple's sword moved forward half an inch, and immediately scratched the oily skin on Li Yunyi's neck, and the sword blade cut a bloody mark.
"No, no, no, don't kill me, don't kill me!!" Li Yunyi shouted at the top of his lungs, "I, I, I know the whereabouts of 'Uncle Hat'!"
Chu Danfeng did not put away his sword: "Say."
Li Yunyi swallowed: "He, he, he... I, I, I... we have agreed that we will attend the underworld wedding ceremony. He will definitely be present at the underworld wedding ceremony seven days later."
Chu Danfeng: "Underworld wedding ceremony?" This paragraph seems not to be mentioned in the original work, which is beyond the scope of his knowledge.
Hua Tingxuan suddenly thought of the confessions of the "Five Heroes of Hehuan" - the so-called "soul-writing beads", at "the grandest ceremony".
Yulou then verified his guess: "It just so happens that the slave family is also going to the underworld wedding ceremony. I know a shortcut."
Chu Danfeng and Hua Tingxuan looked at each other and said, "In that case, let's go too. Xuan'er, you can escort him and find the 'Man in a Bamboo Hat', and then exchange him for the Fourth Senior Brother."
Lin Shuer breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "You mean... you want him to be a hostage? Then he doesn't have to die. The fifth senior brother just looked murderous, it's really..."
Before she could finish her sentence of "a little scary", Yulou continued with a starry eye: "So cold and unruly!"
Hua Tingxuan couldn't bear it anymore and sent a secret message to Lin Shu'er: "Please be quiet. If my younger brother really wants to kill someone, he won't draw his sword."
Lin Shu'er suddenly realized, and she also sent a secret message to Hua Tingxuan: "Yes, the magical weapon of the fifth senior brother is not a sword but a peach blossom fan. Sometimes I feel that you are like a roundworm in the belly of the fifth senior brother!"
"..." Hua Tingxuan thought to himself: The roundworms in his stomach are nothing. I am his man, and no one knows him better than me.
This secret realm is simply a small world. It is astonishingly large. According to the path pointed by Yu Lou and Li Yunyi, it will probably take several days to walk - similar to the restrictions on Wanjian Peak, swords cannot be wielded in the secret realm.
Before I knew it, it was almost dusk.
"There seems to be a village ahead. How about we stay there for the night?" Lin Shuer suggested.
Li Yunyi was the first to agree: "You have to take a rest, my legs are weak from walking - Oops! Why the hell do you have eyesight when you walk?"
It turned out to be a beggar-looking man who bumped into his chest.
"Poor pity, please give me something to eat." The beggar said quietly.
"Go away!" Li Yunyi pinched his nose and said in disgust, "What does he smell like? He didn't steal my wallet, did he?"
But the beggar still refused to give up: "I'm so pitiful, please give me something to eat."
Both of Li Yunyi's hands were tied up with the immortal rope, and the other end of the immortal rope was held in Hua Tingxuan's hand. He could only move his feet. Without saying a word, he raised his feet and kicked them, and cursed fiercely: "
Don’t you have ears? That you can’t hear? What a bad luck!”
But Chu Danfeng waved his hand and created a stream of spirit, blocking Li Yunyi's kick, "Don't move! If he wants to eat, just give it to him."
The beggar stared only at Li Yunyi with his cloudy eyes, as if he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes, and he looked at him strangely.
Li Yunyi also noticed something was wrong, swallowed his saliva and said: "There is nothing to give. Besides, my hands are tied, so even if there is something, I can't give it."
"That gentleman is right!" A vendor carrying a load on the roadside came over with a smile, "I heard people advise you to eat enough. If the beggar wants it, give it to him. If you don't have anything to eat, you can buy it from me, two coins.
Lingzhu, a hot white steamed bun!"
Generally speaking, monks who travel far away or enter secret realms and cannot be fasted usually bring fasting pills with them. No one will waste storage space to bring food.
"Two spirit beads? Why don't you go and grab them?" Lin Shu'er asked in shock.
"Oh, sister Shu'er, you're a girl, but you have such a loud voice, it startled me." Yulou used every opportunity to look delicate.
Lin Shuer: “…………”
"Untie his rope." Chu Danfeng thought for a moment, then ordered Hua Tingxuan, then lowered his head to dig through his mustard bag.
But as soon as Hua Tingxuan untied the rope that bound the immortals, Li Yunyi ran away.
The first one to catch up was actually the beggar.
Chu Danfeng cursed secretly and started chasing after him. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Li Yunyi had already kicked the beggar, and the beggar turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared out of thin air.
"Stinky beggar! The ghost is still here!" But as soon as he finished scolding, he was also held down firmly. Hua Tingxuan grabbed Li Yunyi and improved the method of tying the fairy rope - tie it into a rope buckle and tie it.
It was tied around the neck like a dog, and one end was held by Hua Tingxuan.
Li Yunyi tugged at the rope around his neck as if he were mourning for an heir, "I was wrong, I will never run away again, Miss Chu, Brother Hua, please show mercy and don't tie me up like this, otherwise the brothers and sisters will see me.
How can I be a young master?"
Chu Danfeng held up his forehead: "Do you know what trouble you caused? The thing just now was a 'starving ghost'. If you beg for food, if you don't give it, it will harm others."
Hearing this, Li Yunyi was so horrified that his legs trembled: "Really, is it true? How do you know?"
Chu Danfeng has read the plot, and of course he knows a thing or two about the monster in the secret realm. Hua Tingxuan naturally also knows the details of that thing, but he does not tell the truth. He is thinking about praising Chu Danfeng to make his presence felt, but
Yulou was the first to say softly: "Brother Chu, you know so much. Yulou has admired people who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable since he was a child."
Hua Tingxuan: "...?"
Lin Shu'er rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "She's so fussy, doesn't she know how to talk well?"
At this moment, a few more beggars appeared out of nowhere, but this time they ignored Li Yunyi, holding a bowl and saying quietly to Chu Danfeng and others: "I'm so sorry, please give me something to eat."
Not even the lines have changed.
"Two spiritual beads, just exchange for a big white steamed bun! You can't buy it, you will suffer a loss, you can't be fooled!" The vendors who carried the burden shouted at every opportunity, with a look of pride on their faces.
...Chu Danfeng simply suspected that this was a black industrial chain. Could it be that those starving ghosts were caught by hawkers specifically to defraud people of spiritual beads?
At the same time, a beggar's bowl was thrown in front of Lin Shu'er. Because she had just listened to Chu Danfeng's explanation, Lin Shu'er did not dare to push him away and was so frightened that she was at a loss.
The hawker looked like he was determined to win, "Girl, spend money to eliminate the disaster."
Lin Shuer gritted her teeth and was about to take out the spirit beads, but at this moment, Chu Danfeng stretched out her hand to stop the beggar, and thrust something into her junior sister's hand, "Give him this."
"Ha, stop struggling, they don't want Bigu Pill! You cultivators, shouldn't you look down on vulgar things, why are you asking for money but not your life?" The vendor stretched his neck and mocked, "Hey, if you don't believe me, just give it a try!"
However, when the beggar saw Lin Shu'er's "alms", he was stunned for a moment. Then he took the thing with both hands under the vendor's "Sure enough" smile, and bowed to Lin Shu'er happily before leaving.
The vendor's smile froze on his face: "???"
Chu Danfeng smiled slightly: Oh, nothing else, Master Chu has enough snacks here! These starving ghosts must have been eating white steamed buns all year round. Aren't they overjoyed when they saw my sweet-scented osmanthus cake?
After solving the problem for Lin Shuer, Chu Danfeng took advantage of the situation and wanted to give Hua Tingxuan and Yulou a handful of snacks, but suddenly he was so blessed that he stuffed the red bean cake and plum blossoms into Hua Tingxuan's hands.
"Brother Chu, what should I do? I'm so scared." Yulou grabbed Chu Danfeng's sleeve and said coquettishly.
Hua Tingxuan and Lin Shuer showed expressions that were hard to explain at the same time, but Chu Danfeng calmly pushed away her hand pulling her sleeve away, pointed at Hua Tingxuan: "I don't have it here, go to your brother Tingxuan to get it."
