Outside the south wall of Heyu City, in a relatively secluded and dark place, an inconspicuous corner suddenly collapsed and surged, forming a five or six foot wide hole.
After the hole was formed, a moment passed quietly before an expressionless man in rough cloth showed his head, then crawled out, turned around and pulled up several people behind him one by one. It was Luo Chuan who was holding the little girl's body.
Master and disciple of Taoist Mixiang.
The four of them lingered under the city wall for a while, then headed west along the base of the city wall.
The darkness cast an uneasy atmosphere on everything. As he got further and further away from the South City Gate, the chaotic sounds gradually disappeared. Taoist Mi Xiang slightly loosened his hold on his disciple's hand, feeling a little more at ease in his heart.
Among the four people, Tushan was the first, and he walked at a slow pace. It didn't take him too much time to reach the westernmost end of the south city wall. Several people didn't stop, and continued?????????????
?? After walking a few miles further west, in the villages that had become dilapidated overnight, I saw people who had escaped from the city and were repairing here for the time being.
The people were obviously in shock. They were in groups of three or five, or in groups of ten or even dozens. In addition to simple luggage, everyone had to carry a kitchen knife or fork with them. They looked very wary when they saw Luo Chuan and his party.
, especially when he saw the body of the little girl in his arms, he stayed away for fear of getting into trouble.
The four Luochuan people had no intention of talking to anyone, and walked through the village in silence all the way to the west.
But just after leaving the first village, Taoist Mi Xiang who was walking behind Luo Chuan exclaimed. When Luo Chuan and Tu Shan stopped and looked at him, they patted their foreheads in annoyance as if they had remembered something, and said apologetically
, "Don't be surprised, noble man. The old Taoist suddenly remembered that the guy who was eating at home was forgotten in the city, and he had to go back to get it quickly."
Luo Chuan looked back expressionlessly, and met the old Taoist's complicated eyes that were extremely determined and somewhat apologetic, and said nothing.
The little Taoist boy next to Taoist Mi Xiang tugged on his sleeves, raised his head and said, "Master, how can you be so careless? Tell me where to put it, and I will go get it for you. My legs and feet are better than yours, and I have better endurance."
I'm better than you. The journey just took me less than half an hour. I can run back and forth. Master, where did you put those items?"
Taoist Mi Xiang stretched out his hand to caress the little Taoist boy's head. The tenderness in his eyes almost turned into the only kind light in the darkness. "It is true that Master was careless, but this time the city was in chaos. I hid those objects."
It’s too deep. How can you find it just by talking about it? Although the master is not young, he is still a practitioner. This distance does not matter.
Just wait until I come back." He raised his head and looked at Luo Chuan with a calm look in his eyes, "It's just that before the old Taoist comes back, I want to trouble you to take care of him. He is an obedient child, so
If he can do some laundry and cooking, you don’t have to be too nice to him, just give him food to eat. I wonder if you can agree...?"
The little Taoist boy blinked his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows quietly.
Luochuan's face was still expressionless. He suddenly asked Taoist Mi Xiang a side question, "I haven't asked Taoist Master yet about the way of practice. Why?"
Taoist Mi Xiang was a little embarrassed, and involuntarily pinched his dirty Taoist robe with one hand, "The old Taoist has been practicing for decades, but he is still at the same level. He usually walks around the rivers and lakes, praying for the new ones.
, praying for the newly deceased, busy, but barely able to support myself and my little disciple? How can we have any way to practice?
....."
"Blessings, prayers, these two simple things, persisting for decades, are indeed a road worth sticking to, but..." Luo Chuan lowered his head again and looked at Mi Xiang, who kept looking up.
The little Taoist boy asked, "What's his name?"
"Tian Tian Zhen Zhen, the Tao has no beginning, it's good."
The little Taoist boy named Tianzhen still raised his head, but his tone became lower, "Master..."
He clenched Taoist Mi Xiang's sleeves until the joints of his small hands turned white.
Taoist Mi Xiang looked at Luochuan. This time, there was a pleading look in his eyes, "My lord..."
Luochuan responded to his call for the first time and said, "Okay."
Taoist Mi Xiang was overjoyed, and quickly bowed and saluted, then took the innocent little Taoist boy's hand and pushed him in front of Luo Chuan. He took two steps back, then looked at the little Taoist boy standing in front of Luo Chuan, and suddenly laughed.
He smiled and said, "That's great..." After saying that, he looked stern again and said, "Just stay with me and serve me. If you dare to disobey me, I will definitely beat you when the master comes back."
Can’t get out of bed!」
The innocent little Taoist boy lowered his head and nodded a little.
Taoist Mi Xiang saluted Luochuan again, and this time he turned around and strode away, never looking back again.
Luochuan looked at Taoist Mi Xiang's walking back for a while, then turned around and said one word, "Let's go."
Tushan glanced at the old Taoist who was walking away, and then at the innocent little boy.
The Taoist boy turned around and followed Luo Chuan.
The innocent little Taoist boy lowered his head and did not look in the direction in which Taoist Mi Xiang was going. He silently followed the footsteps of Luochuan and the other two people. The three of them walked all the way to the west and walked for several miles. The innocent little Taoist boy suddenly stopped.
, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Luochuan.
Luochuan felt something. He turned around, still expressionless, staring coldly at the innocent little Taoist boy who straightened his upper body, and asked, "What does it mean?"
The naive little Taoist boy raised his head timidly, but his eyes gradually became firm, "Thank you for your kindness in taking me in, but since the master is going to die, I have to follow you naively."
Luo Chuan's hands holding the stiff corpse in his arms were tightly clenched, but his voice was still calm, "Your master just went back to get some things and said he was going to die. Before he left, he asked you to obey me in everything.
It means, you are not allowed to go."
Oh my god, the little Taoist boy knocked his head to the ground again, leaving a red mark on his smooth and tender forehead, and then quickly got up and ran behind him.
go.
But before he could run a few steps, he fell limply to the ground, unconscious. A man in coarse cloth with a complicated expression picked him up and followed Luo Chuan.
The two were silent, but their speed increased sharply, and they quickly bypassed several villages. When they could see the dark mountains in the distance, Luo Chuan suddenly stopped, looked around, and took out something from his arms.
When a stick of incense came, the flames rose in his hand and he lit the incense. What was strange was that the incense was clearly bright, but not a trace of smoke came out. Luo Chuan didn't take it seriously and directly ignited the burning incense.
He put the scabbard on his waist and set off again.
But this time, before he had gone too far, Luo Chuan stopped again. He quickly squatted down and placed the little girl's body on the ground. One hand was already pressed on the wooden hilt of the flying sword at his waist, with a look in his eyes.
The stars were shining brightly, looking at the endless darkness in the wilderness around me, and I was extremely alert!
Upon seeing this, Tushan immediately put the innocent little Taoist boy on his shoulders on the ground, and he was on all fours like a lion ready to go.
Then, the two of them heard a sound coming from a lonely tree not far away. The sound was like a nighthawk or a cicada, and it was harsh and sharp, going straight into the listener's chest...
"Those who can sense my approach are all Dabu...!"
Along with those sharp words, there was a terrifying and overwhelming demonic aura, pressing straight towards Luochuan and the two of them!!
And at the same time.
In Heyu City in the distance, a terrifying aura that resembled the power of heaven rose into the sky and shocked everyone!!!
