Butang Tuzhai is located on the border between the Jiunan Kingdom and the Mangye Tribe. It is a remote area with complicated traffic, and is a no-no area. Since there are only a few people in the area for hundreds of miles, it is a relatively lively place.
The pouring rain poured down wildly. There were no pedestrians or businessmen on the gravel road in the bundang village. The sky was getting darker and darker. The village was dotted with large and small inns. The buildings here were basically made of logs, as were the walls of the village.
The structure is made of extremely thick logs and has nothing to do with the soil. In fact, it is more appropriately called a wooden village.
Most of these wooden houses have thick stilts, and the bottom floor is empty. People only live on the second floor and above. It is dinner time now. Duji Inn, the largest inn in Butang Tuzhai, is very lively. The owner of the inn is very happy that more than a dozen people have just arrived.
The guests had reserved the wooden building at the back, and it looked like they were all wealthy guests. They were gorgeously dressed, eccentric, and very generous. Especially for the young people who had an extraordinary demeanor. The boss had opened an inn here and met countless people. This was the first time he had seen such an outstanding person.
.
The hall of the wooden building facing the street is a place for eating. There are more than 20 large hexagonal wooden tables. There is a large square hole in the middle of each large wooden table, and a charcoal brazier is placed on it. The hall is basically full of guests. Only Westerners are seated.
The two wooden tables on the side are empty, but the charcoal brazier above has been lit and the boss is instructing the workers to clean up the decorations.
A bald, one-eyed man walked out of it with three tough men. The one-eyed man said: Hello boss, are you ready? The boss trotted over diligently and said with a smile: Sir, you are ready. Please take a seat, one-eyed man.
He turned around and said: Go and invite the boss and the others. Then he said to the boss: Where should I sit?
The boss hurriedly bowed and pointed to the empty table on the west side and said: Your seat has been arranged.
The one-eyed man walked to the table without sitting down and said: Boss, go and do your work. I will wait here for the boss to come. The boss was puzzled and thought to himself: The boss he mentioned must be the young man he was talking about when he came in. It seems that the young man is
The prestige was so high that this one-eyed man refused to sit down first and had to wait for his boss to come out. He hurriedly walked to the kitchen and thought: If I want to give another order, the meat must be fresh and the waiter must be attentive and thoughtful. This kind of guest does not matter.
How not to offend.
Soon a dozen young people walked out of it and said with a smile: Nashan, have you found something you like to eat? It is Li Qiang's group. Nashan said with a playful smile: Hey, boss, my mouth still smells like dirt.
I hope I can find something delicious, otherwise it will be uncomfortable. Boss, sit here.
This group of people is really eye-catching. Their clothes are completely different from those in the different halls of the Western Continent. All the people in the halls are staring at this group of people, whispering and whispering.
What Li Qiang wore was the most luxurious because it was made of silver perilla material. The decorations embroidered on it were something no one in the Western Continent had ever seen. The whole outfit exuded a faint silver light. The belt was made from the skin of the monster from the Sea of Wrong Souls.
The rings of light golden scales on it are all naturally formed and are very exquisite. The half-waist boots are also made of blue-black scaly animal skin. Li Qiang's outfit is not too conspicuous in Tianlai City and Heishui Island, but here
The poverty-stricken village is really outstanding.
Instructing everyone to sit down, Li Qiang asked: Paben, do you know the road from here to Ladu? Paben said with a grimace: Master, I'm afraid we have to ask a guide. When I was doing business, I heard others say that I wanted to come here to do business.
There must be someone to protect you. This is not a place where ordinary merchants can come. He looked at Nashan and smiled and said: I was timid at that time. If there was a master like Lao Na around, I would come here to make a fortune.
Nashan was beaming with joy when he suddenly praised him: Haha, of course, with me Nashan, who dares to touch you? Isn't that asking for death? Li Qiang raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face and said with a smile: You are so beautiful now.
Your cultivation is far behind Paben. If you don't work hard, Paben can knock you over with one hand. Nashan suddenly lost his temper, shrank his neck and muttered: Who has the energy like him without being so crazy?
I can't stand the pain of training
Hongqian said: Let's see if we can get some black-tip knights. These brothers can't fly and it's too slow if they walk. I didn't expect that our great uncle sent us here and they disappeared. It's a long way to Ladu Kingdom.
It may be difficult to walk on the road.
The innkeeper directed the waiters to carry two large basins of fresh meat and put them on the table. The boss himself was carrying a large tray. Li Qiang saw that there were several sharp meat cutting knives and a pile of iron forks on the tray. Two small bowls contained about 100 grams of salt.
After putting the grains away, the boss said respectfully: Sirs, please use it. Li Qiang asked doubtfully: This is the only one and there is nothing else. Paben said: Master, here we mainly eat meat and there are very few other things.
But Nashan yelled and quickly picked up the sharp knife and cut off a large piece of fresh meat. He inserted it on the sharp knife and put it on the charcoal brazier to grill. A strong smell of meat filled the air with the sound of hissing. How could these brothers endure it?
One by one, they grabbed the knife and grabbed the meat. Nashan's bald head stretched out so long that the Adam's apple on his neck moved up and down quickly. It was clear that this guy was swallowing saliva. Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh. He didn't like eating meat, but others might not. The house was full.
Only Li Qiang and Hong Qian remained untouched. The others were all meat-eating experts.
The boss laughed along with him: "Master, this is a remote country and there is nothing good. Is this fresh local animal meat or the meat just sent by the hunters?" Li Qiang asked: "Do you have any fruits or something?" The boss nodded and bowed and said: "Master, I don't have time to ask for fresh fruits now."
It took a while. Hong Qian said with a smile: Forget it, boss, go and do your work. Uncle, we don't care whether we eat or not anyway. Let's take a look.
Li Qiang stood up and said with a smile: You guys eat it and I'll take a look. Nashan's mouthful of barbecue was grunting and he said: Boss, this stuff is delicious, tender and fragrant. Li Qiang ignored him and turned around and walked to the street gate of the wooden building.
The fresh air blowing in the face with a hint of moisture makes people feel refreshed.
Li Qiang was filled with worry when he saw the raindrops getting bigger and smaller. Qi Junsha made a big mistake. I'm afraid it could be sent in three batches to three places. It was a big joke. In this way, everyone must rush first.
It’s true that you can only meet in Ladu country.
He heard Nashan shouting: Boss, boss, come here. Li Qiang turned around and saw Nashan pulling a child and yelling at him. Li Qiang asked: Nashan, why are you dragging that child with you if you don't want to eat? He walked over while talking.
Nashan held the child tightly with one hand and was holding a piece of barbecue with the other. The child looked to be only ten years old. His clothes were so shabby that the color of his clothes could not be seen. He was barefoot and had a small wooden bucket in his arms.
He looked very panicked and was trying hard to break free from Nashan's hand.
Li Qiang's face turned gloomy. Nashan was startled and said hurriedly: Boss, I'm not bullying him. This kid is a fruit seller. He quickly let go. Li Qiang said angrily: Are you like buying something like this? It's not worth your life to scare people to death. Go and punish him.
You roast a piece of meat. He knelt down and said with a smile: "You little brother, let me show you what kind of fruit you are selling."
Some of the diners could no longer stand it anymore. They stood up and were about to say something before they sat down again when Li Qiang opened his mouth to speak. The child didn't say anything but silently handed over the wooden bucket and opened the rag covering it. It was a white bucket about the size of a thumb.
This was the first time Li Qiang saw a fruit like nuts. He grabbed one of his fingers and squeezed it slightly, making a soft sound. The nut split into two halves, but the flesh was bright red. When he ate it, he had a faint fragrance in his mouth. Li Qiang smiled and said: Yes, yes.
They're so delicious. I want some of them. He took the child's hand and walked to his group's table.
Nashan took a piece of barbecue and said: The boss is done roasting it. Li Qiang took the barbecue and handed it to the child and said: Little brother, eat it. The child took the meat and held it in his hand without eating it, but stared at the barrel. Paben
Xin Xin hurriedly poured the nuts in the bucket on the table and handed it back to him. Li Qiang took out a black money card and said hurriedly: Master, if he doesn't know this kind of card, I will give it to him.
The child put the barbecue into the wooden barrel and carefully covered it with a rag. He put the coins that Paben gave him in the West Continent in his arms and timidly said, "Thank you, sir." He turned around and ran out the door. The boss smiled and said, "That's great, sir."
He is a kind-hearted person. This child's father is a hunter. His leg was broken last year. Now it is up to the child to pick some fruits in exchange for some food. Otherwise, he would have starved to death.
Li Qiangqi said: "Who will hit you if you break your leg?" The boss said: "Oh, we are messing around here. I'd better not talk nonsense and you will be beaten to death. The old men are probably outsiders who don't know the situation here. It's best to wait with others when we hit the road."
Let's go together with the caravan. It seems that the uncle is not short of money. It would be much safer to spend a few small coins to talk to the caravan about taking a companion.
Hong Qian suddenly said: A group of black tops were riding over. Li Qiang also heard it and laughed and said: Well, indeed many bosses, your business has come again. The boss said dubiously: It was already dark when there were few customers coming.
Soon the rumble of hoofbeats came faintly, and the whole hall became quiet. Only the sound of grease dripping on the charcoal fire was heard. The boss whispered in surprise: "It's strange why there are so many black-tipped knights."
The hoofbeats of the Black Tip Cavalry were getting louder and louder. Li Qiang had heard this hoofbeat once and was already familiar with it. He estimated that there were at least fifty riders and thought to himself: This is probably a big caravan. The boss asked a few guys to stand up.
Waiting under the awning outside the door.
After a while, the dull sound of hoofbeats mixed with the sound of splashing water came closer and closer. The strange screams of the black pointed knights came in bursts. People in the hall were talking in low voices. The sky was completely dark and seven lights were lit in the hall.
Eight grease torches. Li Qiang and Hong Qian were sitting at the table, peeling white nuts and savoring the fragrance of the fruits. Nashan and the other brothers were silent and just ate barbecue with their heads down. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something.
The sound of hooves stopped outside the door, and there was a clanking sound of metal, the impatient roar of the Black Tip Rider, laughter, curses, coughs, and a mess of sounds. I heard someone shouting: Hey, the store will prepare meat for us right away.
Dear Lords, Lords, the boss's embarrassed voice came from outside the shop. Everyone in the hall knew that the inn was almost full and the available space was limited. The group of people seemed to ignore it at all. Someone said: "Brother, please take the black tip."
Go to the backyard and feed me more good food. If your baby is hungry and I see my uncle peeling off your skin, go quickly.
The boss finally said what he said: The shop is full. Sorry, everyone. There are a few inns in front of me. I seem to be free. Please give me some time. Before I finished my words, I heard two crackling sounds. It was the sound of slapping my mouth. A hoarse voice said: "It's full."
When it's full, you're so impatient. If you want to die, why don't you drive everyone out of here? We'll take care of it. Get out and say,
The innkeeper was kicked into the hall. He was rolling on the ground, unable to control himself, and bumped his head against the table next to the door. There were several businessmen sitting at this table who stood up in panic when they saw this. A plate of fresh meat on the table also fell to the ground.
Nashan glared and was about to get up. Li Qiang held his shoulders and whispered: "Take a look before talking."
A group of big men poured in from outside the door. Someone in the hall screamed softly: They are people from Dushan. The boss got up crying. The group of big men were all wearing armor and fighting for a middle-aged man with a long shawl and a green shawl. The scars on Yumao's face looked extremely ferocious. He glanced around with gloomy eyes and said slowly: Listening to the hoarse voice of the uncle here, I know who you are, it made people shudder.
The hall immediately became chaotic. Many diners were frightened and hurriedly got up and ran to the back to get their luggage. Within a moment, most of the innkeepers were in tears. These people had not paid their bills. Only one table on the east side of the hall remained untouched. Also, Li Qiang's two tables on the west side were not touched, and everyone else ran away, leaving the hall in a mess.
There were four people sitting at the table on the east side, eating barbecue as if nothing had happened and not paying attention to the words of the person just now. Li Qiang and the others also continued to eat meat but did not speak.
The middle-aged man didn't expect anyone to dare to ignore him, and his face became even more gloomy. A subordinate next to him shouted: You are all going to die. Someone at the table on the east side said: There are annoying things wherever you go, it's really annoying. One person said: Ignore those things, we eat meat.
Li Qiang turned his head and looked at the four people, two of whom were old and two were young. He knew in his heart that these four people must have some skills, otherwise they wouldn't talk so carelessly.
The middle -aged man's hoarse throat, hey, he said coldly: I said who was so bold that it was the four in the vasto Eight Hao. Unfortunately, the site of the village is not a very impatient voice from the door. :The bastard in Tangbadong didn’t even carry your ancestors in. He wanted to freeze your ancestors to death. You don’t know how to be filial. The middle-aged man seemed to be frightened and his hoarse voice started to grunt. Then he cursed: You are dead people. He didn't hear his ancestor calling for him to be brought in quickly. He raised his foot and kicked the men next to him.
I saw two big men carrying a wooden chair. The man sitting on it was covered with a large piece of animal skin. He shouted: "Take off this skin." A big man stepped forward and uncovered the animal skin. Li Qiang was slightly startled. This man looked quite miserable. All that was left was his old skin. His skin was layered with wrinkles and there was not even a hair on it. He was holding a weird-looking big-headed crutch on his hand, and there was a fist embedded in the top of the crutch. sized black beads.
The four people sitting on the east side began to feel uneasy. The middle-aged man named Tangbadong bowed and said: Our ancestors are ready, please wait a moment. He smiled sinisterly and said: Since I didn't leave just now, I can't leave now. Hey, from now on you, the Eight Hao in the Wilderness, will only have the Four.
One of the four heroes in the wilderness stood with their swords drawn and said: Brother, you go first and tell the people that the spirit ghost master who killed ten thousand people appeared again. The spirit ghost master sitting on the wooden chair slowly floated away from his seat. Li Qiang looked at him with his spiritual consciousness. There were several black shadows hovering under the body. The soul thought to himself: Who is this person? He doesn't look like a cultivator. How can he control the soul? It's strange.
The ghost ghost master was mumbling something, and the black beads on his crutches were seen floating out wisps of black smoke. The two old men among the four heroes in the wilderness suddenly stood up and rushed towards the ghost ghost master at the same time. He shouted: "You guys, hurry up and the old ghost is blocking the retreat."
Tangbadong smiled proudly and said: Haha. After a while, I heard two thumps. Two old men fell to the ground and were covered in black smoke. The other two young people were no exception and fell to the ground struggling almost at the same time.
Li Qiang had already seen dozens of black smoke shooting at him. He was very angry and quietly released the little sea monster. The little sea monster swallowed its soul silently and immediately swept away the black smoke. Li Qiang stood up.
He laughed loudly and said: Very good, very good, in such a remote place, I can still see such a bastard, which makes me unable to even eat a meal. He is pretending to be a ghost. His star-absorbing sword suddenly flashed and the ghost ghost master was under his body.
The wisp of soul suddenly disappeared into ashes.
The spirit ghost master screamed and plopped down from the air. Nashan and others quickly stepped forward to seal the entrance and exit. Li Qiang's star-absorbing sword flashed again like a bolt of lightning in the sky and wrapped around the black bodies of the four heroes in the wilderness.
The smoke immediately turned into nothing.
This kind of soul of the ghost ghost master is different from the Nascent Soul soul refined by cultivators. It is condensed with special techniques. The power of ordinary people's dead souls is not great, but it is still very powerful in the secular world due to its large number. But against people like Li Qiang.
For masters of cultivation, there is no threat at all.
Tangbadong screamed strangely and drew out his weapon, which was an axe-like thing and struck it on the head. These warriors in the secular world are really a piece of cake for Li Qiang. He casually stretched out a hand to grab them.
The weapon that struck him laughed and said: Guntang Badong groaned and was knocked to the ground by a huge earthquake force.
Li Qiang wanted to demonstrate. He grabbed Tangbadong's strange ax and burned it with heavenly fire. The ax turned into nothing in his hand. He clapped his hands and squatted in front of the spirit ghost master and said: How many souls have you collected?
Let me tell you how to collect it. The group of people were all dumbfounded. No one, including the four wealthy people in the wilderness, dared to speak.
The spirit ghost master laughed strangely: Don't think that you can destroy the soul of your ancestor. Chichi, if you have the ability, go to the wilderness. Chichi, our real ancestor will avenge your ancestor. Chichi. This is the first time Li Qiang has encountered such a thing.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: The ancestors took advantage of this. He snatched the crutch from the ghost ghost master's hand with his hands. Seeing that there seemed to be countless souls in the black bead, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: You are really a sinner. I'm sorry that you can no longer do things like this.
Even if you are left alone, it will be a disaster. For the first time, Li Qiang took the initiative to kill you.
An old man among the four powerful men in the wilderness said: The benefactor, the ghost ghost master, is unkillable. They have killed countless people to collect the souls of others, so they have countless lives to replace themselves. The ghost ghost master smiled proudly: Chichi, you can.
How about chichi
Li Qiang smiled slightly: I have a way to do this. He released the little sea monster and said: No matter how many souls there are, it is useless. When the spirit ghost master saw the little sea monster, he was frightened and screamed: Soul-eating demon Soul-eating demon Li Qiang said: That's right, so you
It's over. A silver light shot down from the Ghost Spirit Master's head, and a sinister wind roared. Countless black smoke emitted from the Ghost Spirit Master's body. For a moment, the hall was filled with a ghostly atmosphere.
The little sea monster is covered in sapphire blue brilliance, and the blue light on its forehead spreads out in circles. It dexterously flies the black smoke in the air and is quickly sucked into the little sea monster's mouth whenever it is hit by the blue light. Tangbadong and
All his men collapsed to the ground in fear. The domineering and arrogant energy they had just now was gone.
There was a snapping sound, and then everyone realized that the ghost master's body had turned into a pile of bones. Tangbadong shouted: "Don't kill me. I have news for you. The hoarse voice is annoying."
