He reached out to touch the baby's fragile neck, only to feel this soft lump that could break in his hand with the slightest force. Fortunately, he could still feel the beating heart.
not dead!
Mo Wangchu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly glanced at the surrounding barren mountains, picked up this troublesome and fragile little thing, and hurried in one direction.
On the wide official road, a group of carriages and horses were traveling at a constant speed, with dozens of bodyguards guarding the three carriages in the middle. From the middle carriage, a woman's weak cough could be heard.
"Qiuniang, drink some water!" A middle-aged man's voice sounded.
In the carriage, on a cushion filled with quilts, a pale-faced woman in fine clothes took the water glass from the man's hand and smiled, "Thank you, sir. You should also take a rest! There is still a long way to go!"
"You shouldn't have come because you're in such bad health, Qiuniang!" The middle-aged man looked at his married wife distressedly, "I can just go find Master Lingyin alone. How will your body recover when the time comes?" Lots of steps.”
"It doesn't matter!" The woman named Qiuniang shook her head, "Since it's because of my illness, I'd better stay at home and wait for you to come back!"
"But your body... ugh!" The middle-aged man surrounded her with distress and stroked his wife's hair.
"I really hope that with my merits, you will be in good health..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Qiuniang frowned and covered his mouth, "You are a good person in ten generations. Master Lingyin said that you will be in the immortal class in the future, but you can do it for me..."
"What's the point of becoming an immortal without you!"
"Ms. sir!" Qiuniang had tears in her eyes.
The couple were sitting close to each other, enjoying the tender moment, when the carriage suddenly shook. The middle-aged man hugged his wife tightly, opened the curtains and looked out.
"what happened!"
"Uu——"
The chief escort unsheathed his sword and reined in the restless horse. The rest of the escorts also calmed the horses. Some of them nervously took out various talismans and posted them in every corner.
"The horses are a little frightened, and there seems to be a demon ahead. Wang Shanren, please sit tight in the car with Mrs. Qiu, and don't come out!"
The chief escort looked around vigilantly, and the words that came from her made Qiuniang tighten her grip on her husband's sleeves, and her sickly face became even paler.
"You ghost! This is the official road. Not far ahead is Zhenyuan Temple. What kind of monster! You are so bold!"
"I don't know, maybe I'm just passing by. I'm not afraid of Qiu Niang, not afraid!" Wang Shanren hugged his wife tightly, his expression not much better.
He suddenly thought of something, took out a jade pendant from his chest, glanced down, gritted his teeth, took it off and hung it around Qiuniang's neck.
"This is the jade pendant that Master Ling Yin gave me when I was a child. Just hold it and don't move it. I'll go out and take a look!"
He stood up, took off a wooden sword hanging in the carriage, and walked out.
"Wang Jincai!"
Qiuniang was so angry that she wanted to catch up, but unfortunately her body didn't allow it. She could only hold the jade pendant and watched her husband leave the carriage.
The atmosphere outside was tense. Feeling the increasingly intense evil aura around him and the increasingly anxious hooves of the horses, the chief escort looked at each other with an ugly look on his face.
Monster? coming?
Still a big demon!
Was he passing by? Will you take action?
Everyone's palms were sweating. Wang Shanren held the wooden sword and tried to stay calm. He still remembered that Master Suzuyin told him that he had too many merits. As long as he didn't provoke him intentionally, monsters would usually avoid him. Walk.
If it's really a big demon, I hope he won't kill anyone casually while he's standing here!
The wind blew through the woods, and the cold wind swept through the fallen leaves, rustling under the feet of people and horses. Gradually, the horses stopped moving and knelt down with their front hooves bent, lying on the ground.
Fortunately, all the escorts had dismounted early, but the sight of the horses being so frightened that they didn't dare to run away still made everyone's hearts rise in their throats.
Looking at this battle, they are all big monsters with at least five hundred years of cultivation!
Pattering footsteps came from a bush, and gradually, a thin and tall figure appeared in everyone's sight.
"You are here..." The visitor glanced around their motorcade, his handsome and indifferent appearance slightly frowning, and then his aura dropped!
The wind stopped, the trees became quiet, and for a moment, everything returned to normal, and the horses slowly stood up.
The chief escort and Wang Shanren stared blankly at the handsome man in front of them, wearing a black robe and carrying a long sword on his waist. If he hadn't appeared in this situation, they would have thought they just met a swordsman walking around the world.
but! Demons and ghosts can also transform into humans!
That kind of big monster is even scarier!
Mo Wangchu frowned, relaxing slightly from the tension of finally finding the person, and looked down at the motionless child in the swaddling clothes.
Following his movements, everyone also noticed the strange package on the "big demon"'s chest. Then, the "big demon" quickly glanced at them.
"Do you have a doctor here?"
Chief escort:......
Wang Shanren:......
ah?
"I asked you if you have a doctor, this..." Mo Wangchu hugged the baby as if hugging a hot potato. He was so anxious before that he forgot to hold back his momentum, but now he should hold it back That's right, why are these people still stunned?
The anxiety of being powerless made him irritable. He couldn't control the strength of his hands for a moment. Su Li, who had fainted, woke up again with a dying breath.
And she let out two kitten-like howls for her new father who had no mouth!
"Wow wow..."
The baby's feeble cry finally made the group of people wake up. Unfortunately, Mo Wangchu had lost his patience. He was about to cross the group of convoys with the annoying little baby in his arms to continue looking for people. In the end, he was mistakenly thought that he was going to do something. Wang Shanren impulsively stopped him with his sword.
"No, don't come over!"
Wang Shanren raised his sword towards him and stood in front of the carriage in a panic.
Behind the curtain of the carriage, Qiuniang, who had been observing the situation outside, her heart in her throat, struggled to climb out of the carriage, "Mr., don't do anything!"
"Don't do it, put down the sword!" She stumbled towards the two of them, pressed Wang Shanren's wooden sword, and quickly glanced at the package in Mo Wangchu's hand.
There really is a child inside!
The mother's instinct made Qiuniang feel a pang of distress in her heart when she saw the child's frozen little face, and then she spoke quickly, breaking the condensed atmosphere between the two.
"I am the doctor, leave it to me!"
"Qiuniang, you are crazy!" Wang Shanren quickly blocked Qiuniang behind him, "Go back quickly. The child from this wilderness must be a demon! He came to deceive us!"
When Mo Wangchu heard this, he stopped walking as he was about to walk, and a trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I lie to you?"
A mortal dared to point at him with a broken sword engraved with two talismans?
Who gave him the courage?
Did he need to lie to him?
Qiuniang spoke out what was in his heart and was so angry that she covered her husband's mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you really a monster? Do you need to lie to us? That child is almost out of breath. Take out my medicine box and save him." !”
