Chapter 99 Fighting(1/3)
"The people of Longxiang Guard are also weird. They can't live in the bustling area of Echeng. They prefer to station in remote places. No wonder the Taoist priest can't find them. The place where they stationed is called 'Tongliangji'
, it is a deserted place. There were zombies in the past few days, and there are not many living people. But fortunately, the road is easy to identify... Past the ridge in front, you will find Tongliangji. Taoist priest, look at this place.
I also brought it to you, should you just put the little one back?"
The road was covered with weeds half as tall as a man, and the horses' hooves stepped on them as if they were breaking waves.
Li Changan ignored Fat Qianhu's nonsense. This man was very slippery. Ever since he was dragged out of Echeng by a Taoist priest to lead the way, he had found all kinds of excuses to shirk it. However, the Taoist priest was also a slut.
The man had no choice but to bring a man named Niu Er with him, saying that the relationship between the two was like Liu Bei and Guan Zhang, who couldn't sleep even if they didn't sleep together at night.
Pooh!
Where is such a fat Liu Bei? Where is such a stupid Guan Zhang?
The Taoist priest ignored him, but the fat Qianhu was not discouraged. He kept smacking his tongue and kept trying. But the Taoist priest in front suddenly reined in the reins and pointed the whip forward.
"Qianhu, is this the abandoned collection you are talking about?"
What?
Qianhu didn't understand why, but when he looked up, his mouth was wide open.
Under the hill in front, the low fences, rows of tile-roofed houses, and simple long streets are the same as in the past. But where did the bustling crowds on the streets come from?
It’s crowded and lively. Even standing here, you can see the urchins playing in the distance, the vendors hawking along the street, and the steaming heat in the restaurants...
This is not an abandoned place, it is clearly a bustling market!
"This is impossible!" Qianhu was still hesitant, but Niu Er was already yelling. "Most of the people in the group were infected with corpse poison and became living corpses. The most powerful one was the one whose head I smashed with my own hands.
!”
Li Changan looked at the two of them carefully, but it didn't look like they were faking?
Could it be that this is another ghost market?
He raised his head and saw a moist sun floating in the clouds.
The Taoist priest couldn't help but smile.
Where did the ghost market come from under the blue sky and white sun?
But since it is not ghosts and gods, it is man-made.
The Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then finally smiled and drove his horse down the hill.
I knew I would not be safe on the road.
At this time, I am not afraid to go through such a journey!
……………………
The copper beams are surrounded by a low wall, which is made of stones, soil, bamboo and wood. When you get closer, you can see that it is covered with moss and has collapsed in some places, giving off a sense of decadence.
, quite inconsistent with the bustle and bustle in the market.
At the doorway, there were seven or eight arrogant soldiers scattered around, surrounding a woman who was holding a pipa and seemed to make a living by singing. The woman could not escape, so she had to deal with it with all her strength.
When the three of them were close, one person separated from them, swaying in a swaying step, and stretched out his hands as soon as he came over.
"It's six cents for entry, two cents for beasts."
Fat Qianhu noticed something fishy about this place, and originally made up his mind to keep a low profile. Unexpectedly, he was shocked when he heard the price demanded by the gatekeeper.
"That's unreasonable! This... Echeng city only levied three cents, how come it was doubled in your country?"
The guard didn't panic at all and replied lazily:
"Ordinary poor people just charge three cents to get away with it."
As he spoke, he looked Qianhu up and down a few times and chuckled.
"For someone as rich as you, of course you should charge more."
"Qiu Ba, the man who killed a thousand swords..."
Qianhu was so angry that he was trembling all over, but before he could finish his scolding, the gate guard on the opposite side gave him a strange look.
"Dare you resist taxes? Do you want to rebel?! Brothers!"
He shouted, and the gang of soldiers abandoned the woman and surrounded her laughing and joking.
Seeing this battle, Qianhu didn't panic at all. Look at the loose appearance of each of them. Not to mention the Taoist priests around him, even Niu Er could easily take care of them. He just felt funny. Usually he was the only one who buckled down for others.
The label of "rebel", I didn't expect that this label could still be stuck on my forehead.
He sneered again and again, and was about to reveal his identity and teach these Qiuba a lesson.
But suddenly.
The Taoist priest laughed softly.
"You...heh."
Li Changan glanced at the city gate guards who, despite their careless movements, had vaguely surrounded the three of them.
"It's the White Lotus Sect..."
As soon as the word "teaching" was spoken, the city gate guards suddenly swarmed up to him, the smiles on their faces not fading, but their body shape no longer slouched.
The waist knife and the long spear were discarded, and only a short dagger of the length of a foot slipped out of the sleeve. Within a short distance, it stabbed towards the vital points of the three people's bodies. The dagger body glowed with a faint light, it must be quenched with strong poison!
But at the same time.
The woman next to her slapped her pipa, and two daggers popped out. The swords were thin and thin, with a penetrating light. When they were swung, they were like two streams of light, carrying the scent of powder, whirling around the three of them. Erluo returned.
In the same place, the woman hid her in the pipa again.
The city gate guards who were swept by the stream of light seemed to have been immobilized and froze at the moment of the explosion.
It sounds like a long time, but in reality it only takes the blink of an eye.
Only then did Fat Qianhu come to his senses and screamed, while Niu Er hurriedly raised the mace he was carrying.
The woman stepped back, lowered her eyebrows, made a gesture to guide the way, and said coldly.
"please."
"Pfft."
Amidst the sound of blood splattering, the bodies of the city gate guards fell to the ground.
Qianhu and Niu both looked pale and opened their mouths. Without saying anything, Li Changan stuffed the sheep into Qianhu's arms and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go."
…………
After entering the gathering, the excitement around him did not give Qianhu any sense of security, but instead made him more uneasy.
Someone is dead!
The pedestrians in the collection didn’t even react at all!
He couldn't bear to look back and saw that the body at the city gate was gone, but the scene of Qiu Ba teasing the woman was still going on, except that both Qiu Ba and the woman had changed their faces.
He shuddered, hugged the White Lotus Holy Sheep tightly, and followed the Taoist priest three steps at a time.
At this moment, a few children suddenly popped out of the crowd. They were just playing around without avoiding pedestrians, and bumped into them without thinking.
Fat Qianhu subconsciously wanted to kick the child away, but as soon as he raised his foot, there was a shock.
wrong!
He dilated his pupils, and the candied haws stick in the child's hand clearly shone with a cold metallic light!
He opened his mouth to call for help, but a strong stench entered his mouth and nose.
"Collect the night fragrance, collect the night fragrance...please give me a way."
Suddenly, a Yexiang woman stood in front of Qianhu. The "child" did not stop and fell into the dung bucket. However, the Yexiang woman quickly picked up the lid with one hand and covered the dung bucket!
The dung bucket swayed and clanged several times, but there was no more movement.
Only then did Ye Xiangfu raise her head, look at Qianhu's fat face twisted in fear, and pointed forward with a smile.
He turned around and saw that the Taoist had already moved away from him for more than ten steps. Even Niu Er was clever and stayed close to the Taoist priest. He was left thinking about things and fell in the end.
Damn you monster!
Even if you are not worried about my life and death, don't you care about the White Lotus Saint being snatched away?
Fat Qianhu had already scolded Li Changan's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, but he did not dare to delay any more and hurriedly followed.
Just as he caught up with the two of them, after taking a few steps, his eyes suddenly darkened.
He looked up and saw that there was a shed propped up on the left side of the street. Its shadow cast a long shadow, covering most of the street.
"Be careful."
The Taoist priest who had been taciturn all the way suddenly spoke up to remind him.
Be careful? Be careful about what?
To be continued...
