"Brothers, cheer up. The medicinal materials for this trip are worth ten thousand taels of silver. When we get to Xingyu Medicine Store, everyone will have a hundred taels of silver to take. When the time comes, we can go home and buy twenty acres of land and marry a wife. From now on,
There is no need to lick the blood from the knife edge anymore.”
A steady drizzle.
More than a dozen escorts escorted three carriages and were driving in the rain.
"Boss, if the medicinal materials for this trip are really that valuable, we might as well just share them. There are thirteen of us, and each of us can share a thousand taels. Why bother with so much trouble?"
"Yes, escort, it sounds good."
"What's good? Ten thousand taels of silver is the price among druggists. We sell the medicinal materials, and the ginseng has to be sold as cabbage. Maybe these three carts of medicinal materials can't be sold even with one thousand taels of silver, and they will be sold by the medicine shop.
Chase and kill, are you full after eating?"
"That's right, last time the Weide Escort Bureau escorted the Li family's heirloom, a few of the escorts had evil intentions. They thought that the Li family was rich and the heirloom must be great. When they opened it, they found half a copper coin. They said it was the Li family's old man's third heirloom.
A pot of gold, and in the end, several people were hunted down by the Li family with bounty offered, and their skins were skinned."
"Half a copper coin was skinned off. Isn't it too tragic?"
Everyone was laughing and laughing and in high spirits.
"Huh!"
Joking.
One of the escorts looked forward and found a red light inn not far away. He was surprised and said: "Headguard, we are lucky, there is an inn!"
"Boss, it's hard to travel in heavy rain. How about we rest for a night and hit the road again tomorrow."
"Yes, escort, it will rain heavily soon, and it will be troublesome if the medicinal materials get wet."
Everyone was talking in a hurry.
"Something's wrong!"
The head guard took a closer look and frowned: "We have walked for more than ten miles and we haven't seen any people. How can there be an inn here?"
After saying that, he asked the deputy head escort: "Where are you now?"
The deputy head guard took out a map, looked through it while holding an oil lamp, and replied: "We will reach Guobei County in another ten miles."
Upon hearing this.
The escort leader then made up his mind and said: "We cannot stay in the wilderness for a long time. Brothers, if you insist, we will go to Guobei County to stay."
Click!!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunder in the sky, and the light rain turned into heavy rain in an instant.
Everyone looked at the heavy rain and then at the Red Lantern Inn not far away. They all begged the escort: "Commander, it's not that we don't want to hurry, it's really God's will that cannot be violated. You see, God has allowed us to stay.
"
The escort still has concerns.
It's a pity that the rain is really heavy. The big raindrops hit my face and I can't even open my eyes. How can I go on the road in such horrible weather?
"Let's go and stay at an inn."
The escort leader made up his mind and did not forget to warn everyone: "Be careful, this inn looks weird, it may not be a good place."
When everyone heard this, they held their swords and escorted the carriage more carefully.
Finally, we went to the Red Light Inn to take a look.
There was a fire in the inn, which was warm, and several traveling merchants and people dressed as knights and knights were eating and chatting.
Look again.
The innkeeper was fiddling with his abacus. He was a middle-aged man with a mustache.
In the open space, there were women dancing and a blind man playing strings. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary inn, but a romantic inn with beauties as companions.
"Sir, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"
Seeing someone coming in, the waiter hurried up to greet him.
The head guard glanced over and saw that there were quite a few customers in the store, so he felt relieved: "We will eat and stay in the hotel. We will prepare two tables of food and wine first, and then arrange a single room and two large rooms."
The private room is occupied by the escort himself.
The two large rooms are prepared for the twelve journeymen.
Upon hearing such instructions, the waiter smiled happily and said, "Girls, a big customer is here. Come downstairs and have a drink with me."
"Coming!"
The skirts were swaying lightly, and not long after, a group of girls came down from upstairs.
The people who entered the door were all escorts who had traveled all over the country. They had not known the smell of meat for several months. Now they smelled the rouge fragrance on the woman's body, and all of them moved their index fingers and smiled crookedly.
"Boss, you all have been working hard these days on the road, you see..."
The deputy escort swallowed his saliva.
Although the escort leader didn't want to agree, he also knew that saying no at this time would be against everyone, and it would be difficult to lead the team in the future: "Don't delay your journey tomorrow."
"The escort's reputation is outstanding!"
Everyone was laughing and joking, and one after another they invited beautiful women to accompany them.
Just talking to each other, everyone felt a little weird.
"Uncle, we don't want money."
"for free?"
"Yes, just feel free to play, and we'll talk about it after the other things are done."
If you don’t want money, what do you want?
You can’t ask for medicinal materials, right?
The escorts didn't care, they just wanted to play with him first and then talk about it.
Anyway, there are more than a dozen of them, and all of them are swordsmen who lick blood from their swords, so they are not afraid of anyone playing tricks.
not far away.
Inside Lanruo Temple.
"coming!"
Zhang Heng sat cross-legged, looking in the direction of the partially rainy mass graves, and whispered: "I killed these lonely souls. If you don't believe me, don't come out and confront me."
Whoosh!
Zhang Heng used the Flying Technique to instantly fly out of the window.
After a while.
He came outside the mass grave and took a closer look. He saw a dozen men dressed as escorts, drinking corpse water, eating toads and maggots, and laughing with a group of female ghosts.
"Beauty, you don't want money, what do you want?"
"Uncle, can I ask you if I want you?"
"Yes, as long as the beauty is happy, I can do whatever she wants."
"Uncle, this is what you said!"
Looking at the people who were fascinated and wanted to sacrifice their own flesh and blood, Zhang Heng's eyes turned cold: "What a shame, these people will probably die without knowing that their jokes will soon kill them.
."
In the eyes of these escorts, what the beautiful women said to them were just love words, used for flirting, and should not be taken seriously.
But in reality, this is what the female ghosts want.
After they are happy, when the time comes to pay account, they will take away everyone's lives.
"Xuanyuan Sword Jue, the sword swings in all directions!"
Zhang Heng pointed forward and the sword was unsheathed.
One sword instantly split into eight pieces, coming from all directions and sweeping towards the female ghosts.
"Ah, sword energy!"
The female ghosts are secretly proud of themselves.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw sword light flying from the sky. He didn't even have time to scream before he was pierced by the sword light and died.
"who?"
The escorts were all shocked.
As a result, in the next second, the shopkeeper, the wine and food, the beauty, and the inn all disappeared without a trace.
Everyone looked back and saw a group of people sitting in a mass grave, eating toads and earthworms, feeling very happy.
"Grandma, grandma!"
Zhang Heng did not kill them all, but left one female ghost unkilled.
The female ghost was so frightened that she urinated and ran towards the big locust tree deep in the mass grave, crying: "Grandma, help me!"
boom!!
The big locust tree trembled.
The next second, a figure emerged from the ground and transformed into Grandma Shu dressed in black.
"Zhang Heng, what do you mean now, why do you want to kill my men?"
Grandma Shu's face was filled with anger.
However, she restrained herself and did not take action immediately. Instead, she said forcefully: "I kindly let you live in Lanruo Temple. I offer you a lot of tea and water every day. It's just that you don't remember my kindness. Instead, you go everywhere
If you go against me, you have to give me an explanation!"
"explain?"
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's your first day out. I'm in a bad mood today, so I just wanted to kill a few ghosts to vent my anger. Is this a good enough explanation?"
"ah!!!"
Grandma Shu was almost going crazy: "You bully others too much. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
boom!!
The earth trembled and the mountains shook.
Centered on Zhang Heng's position, eight tree roots as thick as buckets broke out of the ground and struck him head-on.
Flying!
Zhang Heng rose from the ground.
Boom boom boom!!
Eight tree roots hit the ground together, and even the ground was cracked for a while.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
More tree roots emerged from the ground and whipped towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng looked down and saw that the ground was densely covered with tree roots, welcoming him with open teeth and claws.
"The sky and the earth are infinite, the sun and the moon shine together!"
Zhang Heng waved his hand.
One sword is divided into two, and two swords are divided into four.
After a while, thirty-six swords were separated and combined to form a sword wall.
brush!
A ray of moonlight shines down, hits the sword wall, and reflects to the tree roots on the ground.
It stands to reason that moonlight is beneficial to monsters like Grandma Tree, but this time the moonlight is different. It is like the sun. As soon as it shines on the roots of Grandma Tree, the evil energy on it begins to boil and dissipate. Grandma Tree retreats in pain.
.
Brush brush brush.
Under the exposure of the sun and the moon, where the light shines, the tree roots curl back to the earth.
After a while, Grandma Shu took back all the tree roots, and her face became even uglier than before.
"When I was making a tree, I listened to the teachings of eminent monks and saw the Buddha's light shining everywhere. From the Buddhist scriptures, I understood the infinite path of evil."
Grandma Shu waved her hands: "Don't think that you are the only one who knows magic. Mine is not bad either. Look, my Tao is one foot taller and my devil is ten feet taller...the infinite demon world!"
