The sun is scorching overhead, the earth is dry and cracked, and crows are picking at the bones on the roadside.
A carriage stopped on the side of the road. The master and servant stood in front of the carriage, looking at the old man in the distance. The old man quietly looked at the bare mountains in front of him, then he slowly leaned down and rested his head on the ground.
Ah Lu was surprised: "Miss!"
Xihe stood still, and at that moment she felt power surge from Fulu's body, spreading in all directions.
The divine power caressed the mountains, crossed the rivers, poured into the withered roots of the seedlings, scattered between the heaven and the earth, and gently caressed every life that was about to wither. A light rain began to fall from the sky.
Ah Lu looked up blankly, and the raindrops mixed with soil hit his face, leaving a stain on his face.
She grabbed the young lady's arm tightly and her voice trembled: "Little lady, did you see it? Or am I hallucinating?"
Xihe's eyes were always on Fu Lu: "You read that right, Ah Lu, it's raining." He gently pushed her hand away and slowly walked towards Fu Lu. Behind him, A Lu suddenly burst into tears.
The divine power poured out, and Fu Lu's complexion instantly turned pale. Gradually, the divine power calmed down, calmed down, and disappeared.
The rain stopped and he gasped for air. A pair of embroidered shoes suddenly appeared in front of him.
He paused and raised his head.
The woman stood with her backlight, and her face could not be seen clearly for a while.
Fulu subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, pursed his lips tightly, and lay limply on the ground.
How will she react?
Xihe stared at his increasingly older face, his hair all white. He couldn't explain what he felt for a moment. Could he not trust her so much? He was afraid that she would take the antlers, so he simply used them.
Sighing, she stretched out her hand: "Let's go to the next location."
-
The carriage is driving on the official road, with mountains on both sides.
Fu Lu was lying on the soft brocade quilt. He had just drank a bowl of blood and was still in good spirits.
His eyes returned from the sparse mountains and rivers outside the window and fell on the woman opposite. She supported her head with her hands, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, and the hands on her legs were wrapped in several circles of white cloth, with traces of blood seeping out.
His eyes flickered, he looked away, and his lips pursed unconsciously.
The horse's hooves clicked, and when Xihe woke up, it was already dark, and the twilight was all around. There was no village in front, no shop behind, only dark mountains.
The carriage stopped in a sheltered place and a bonfire was lit. Ah Lu quickly boiled water and heated dry food. The mountain wind was howling. It had been more than a month since the trip and autumn was approaching.
Ten years ago, the mountains were full of fruits in the autumn, but now the mountain wind is like a wandering hand, gently blowing by.
The coachman was wrapped in cotton clothes and stood guard not far away. The horse was sneezing. Ah Lu had fallen asleep beside the bonfire. There were only two dark figures sitting quietly beside the crackling firewood. The firelight illuminated the outline of the woman's face. Perfect.
"Did Master Ziyang accidentally discover that Wang Tielin had antlers, or was there attraction between the antlers?"
It would be okay if they discovered it accidentally, but if it was the latter... Xihe had already expected that their next journey would not be peaceful.
"attract."
"But you need to be close."
Fulu frowned slightly: "When Master Ziyang was capturing people as ghosts, he accidentally felt a trace of aura on Wang Shan. But Wang Shan didn't know it."
Xihe nodded, so Master Ziyang transformed the person into a ghost.
But how did Wang Tielin know?
Judging from his fate, he shouldn't be able to use the power in the antlers.
Fulu said: "Wang Tielin found it. When he came home, he found that his wife and children had been poisoned. After investigation, he found Ziyu Temple." However, the power comparison was very different. He was not Ziyang's opponent at all. He had to cut off one of his arms. Had to escape.
After that, he was looking for an opportunity to take revenge, but who knew he died in an assassination.
"How far is the next location from here?"
Xihe said suddenly.
Fu Lu looked at the night sky twinkling with stars: "Climb five more mountains."
Xihe recalled the map and suddenly raised his head: "Luosong Temple on Luoyun Peak?"
Fu Lu nodded.
Xihe's claws suddenly felt a little numb. Although Luo Songguan is not as famous as Sanqingguan and Wuqingguan, he is still a powerful sect in the eyes of the world. Except for her, her basic force value is zero. When the time comes to fight, she I don’t know who to save.
Xihe held his forehead, a little helpless: "Go to sleep first, we have to travel tomorrow."
The next day, a group of people rushed towards Luoyun Peak, but the carriage was difficult to travel on the mountain road. They had to abandon the carriage halfway and choose to walk. They stopped and walked over the mountains and ridges, and they were panting from exhaustion.
"Miss, look!"
Ah Lu suddenly pointed to the opposite side.
Xihe wiped his sweat and looked over. It was a small village hidden in the mountains.
She immediately said: "Let's go!"
The driver immediately carried the deer on his back and strode forward. Alu had already run ahead carrying the bundle.
The winding path is narrow and difficult to navigate. The carriage lady is tall and strong, with a resolute face. She can still carry Fu Lu easily. This man was Xihe's new carriage driver when he was in Wushuang City, but his original identity was the Cheng family's city guard. , a body with good martial arts.
Wangshan ran to death, and the village was clearly on the opposite side. By the time they reached the entrance of the village, it was already dusk.
"who are you?"
A child with a yellow and skinny face suddenly popped out.
Wearing a shabby shirt and trousers crookedly tied around his waist with a rope, the child tilted his head, his big eyes full of curiosity.
Ah Lu took a few steps forward and smiled: "Little brother, we are passers-by and want to stay in your village tonight. Can you call us adults?"
As soon as the child heard this, he immediately ran to the village: "Mom and dad, there is someone staying overnight!"
A few people entered the village. The end of the small village could be seen at a glance. The thatched houses were crooked and seemed to fall over in the next second. There were almost no pedestrians on the road. When they almost reached the end of the village, the child ran over dragging a woman: "Mom, it's them!"
The woman was about thirty years old, her clothes were shabby, and her face was weathered.
She was a little reserved, but enthusiastically invited them to her home.
On the way, Xihe asked about the situation in the village.
The woman sighed: "Dead, all dead."
He pushed open the courtyard door and invited a few people in. There was an old woman sitting in the courtyard. The woman called out "Mother-in-law", went into the house and took out a few stools: "If it doesn't rain, there will be no harvest in the fields, and they will all be gone." Guest, sit down."
The woman patted the dust on the child and accused him of being disobedient and playing wildly, soiling his clothes.
The child lowered his head and apologized: "Mom, I was wrong." Then he started laughing again after a while, ran to the Xihe people and asked questions, with an innocent expression on his face.
The woman looked apologetic: "The child is ignorant, I hope you won't blame me."
Xihe waved his hand and asked her why they were still alive since most people in the village were gone.
The woman stroked her hair beside her ears and said a little shyly: "To be fair to this young lady, I was originally the daughter of member Li's wife in the county town a few miles away. Because she met her husband, she..."
