Chapter 18 018 Hedong County (2)
Without anyone else on the road, Wang Wu's speed naturally accelerated a lot.
His speed is already fast. In fact, if he hadn't wanted to learn more about the situation in the human world yesterday, he would have been able to reach Hedong County before dark.
After Mawang Village, Wangwu passed three villages one after another on his way. He used the little silver in his hand to buy some food in those villages to eat on the way.
He is a monster, and his appetite is much larger than that of ordinary humans. He is basically the appetite of an extraordinary human being.
The large bowl of mutton noodles in the morning was already a warrior-level portion, but it was still not enough for a monster like Wang Wu.
The closer we get to Hedong County, the more people there are on the road. And he walked in a straight line for dozens of miles, and when he got to the back, he also saw several forked roads.
Of course, they are all forks from the plain on the right, and it is impossible to go through the Forest of Bones.
Every fork in the road is a road paved with gray-white boulders. There are also some villages located on the roadside, and you can see large wheat fields and huge pastures.
The plain outside the Bone Forest is very large, and it seems to be fertile for thousands of miles. Basically, you can see a large amount of farmland outside every village, and various types of livestock can be seen everywhere in the pastures.
Although it is connected to a ghostly place like the Forest of Bones, the land here does look fertile enough. After all, it is rare to have such an endless plain.
"Hey, what a handsome young man. What are you doing here in Hedong County?"
A man was walking on the road, holding a bag full of water in his left hand and a piece of large cake in his right hand. He was eating and drinking, and suddenly someone else's voice came to his ears.
Wang Wu turned his head and looked at the other party:
"I came to Hedong County to buy some supplies for the winter." He said truthfully.
This is the purpose of Wang Wu coming here, to buy a lot of food reserves for the winter, fill them up, and then give the neighbor monsters something they are interested in.
For example, rouge and gouache used by human women, as well as clothing and other things.
The person who struck up a conversation with Wang Wu was a man riding a tall horse. He had a thick build and a curly beard and tiger eyes. He was wearing a thick military uniform, and like Wang Wu, he also wore a half-sleeved chainmail and a short zhao.
"Haha, after entering the city, why not come to our Lei Family Trading Firm to have a look?"
After hearing Wang Wu's words, the man laughed twice, shook the big gun in his hand, and introduced himself to Wang Wu:
"The goods of our Lei family are famous for their high quality and low price in Hedong County. For the money you spent to buy one thousand catties of grain from the Wang family, when you get to my Lei family, we can give you one thousand five hundred catties! And we will never give you the same price." Charge it! ”
"And if you buy more, we can deliver it to your door for free!"
"In addition to food, there are also monster detection stones, monster exorcism stones, and various high-grade stone powders. We all..."
Although this man is big, he has a heroic temperament, and he is dressed like a warrior, giving the impression that he is a warrior. But after opening his mouth, he can instantly transform into a sharp-tongued and enthusiastic businessman.
"Haha, let's talk about it then."
After Wang Wu listened for a while, he smiled and cupped his hands towards him.
"Haha, sorry, sorry." At this time, the man also realized that he seemed to have talked a little too much, and he also cupped his hands towards Wang Wu, smiled, and said apologetically:
"Sorry for bothering you, sorry for bothering you. Let's do this. As an apology, if you go to my Lei Family Business Store to buy something, just give me Lei Yuan's name and I will give you a 10% discount!"
"Haha, okay, okay." Wang Wu nodded politely, and then the two said goodbye.
Although the destination was the same, the two sides quickly distanced themselves.
Wang Wu's speed was much faster than the caravan of the man named Lei. Within a few minutes, he officially arrived at the gate of Hedong County.
The city wall in Hedong County is very high, higher than the ancient city walls in many big cities he visited in his hometown, probably as high as thirty meters.
Under the huge city wall is an equally huge vermilion gate. The width is more than ten meters, and the height is probably close to ten meters.
At this time, a long queue had already formed at the gate into the city, and the queue happened to reach Wang Wu.
Wang Wu stood directly behind the person in front and waited.
There were many people waiting to enter the city, and most of them were traveling in groups. There were people like him who didn't bring much luggage, and there were people who had carriages and horses.
The teams entering the city are all concentrated on the left side of the city gate. As for the right side, although there is a passage to the gate, only a few carriages pass by there.
And those carriages did not need to go through any inspection when they entered the city, and even the soldiers guarding the city had to bow to the carriages.
At this glance, you can tell that it is the exclusive passage for dignitaries in the city.
"Hey, brother, are you coming to Hedong County alone?"
Just as Wang Wu was curiously observing the environment at the gate of Hedong County, the person in front of him suddenly turned around and said to him.
How should I put it? It was a face that was deliberately made ugly.
But even so, it can still be seen that this is a handsome man, on the same level as him, the kind that is on par with him.
Moreover, even if you don’t look at this face. When the other party turned around and Wang Wu noticed him, he knew the identity of the guy in front of him.
He met his compatriots.
This is also a monster.
But the other party didn't seem to recognize his identity, or he recognized him, but pretended not to recognize him.
"Yes, I came alone." Wang Wu nodded.
"Good looking, brother." The man grinned at him, his expression twitched, and he revealed an ugly smile. Then he immediately turned around, walked forward, and distanced himself from Wang Wu. Wang Wu looked at his appearance and said nothing. He just stood there without moving forward. He just moved the Demon Slayer Stone from his waist to his lower back.
The queue entering the city was very fast, and after about ten minutes, Wang Wu could already see the soldiers defending the city in front of him.
At this moment, there were six people in front of Wang Wu: four men who were obviously together, each carrying two large boxes; one who was wearing an unknown Taoist robe, a sword on his back, and a jade crown on his head; and he The fellow demon racer in front.
"You guys, go over there and touch the stone. Check the goods on the left after they go in."
The soldiers guarding the city looked at the four people who came together in front of them, nodded and bowed to them, pointed to the four creamy yellow stones on the table next to them, and gave instructions.
"Yes, yes! Master Bing!"
The four of them hurried over and put their hands on the stone. Another soldier came to several people, observing the expressions on their faces and looking at their hands on the stone.
After more than ten seconds, the soldier waved his hand and said, "Go in."
Several people nodded and bowed again, then picked up the poles again and headed towards the city gate.
Then, there was the man with the sword on his back. At this moment, Wang Wu saw the appearance of the other party. He was a man, with two small mustaches on his upper lip and a goatee that he often trimmed on his chin.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Before the soldier could say anything, the man took out a booklet from his clothes and handed it to him. The soldier took the book and looked at it, with a smile on his face:
"Master Dao, please come this way!"
"Next."
After sending the Taoist priest away, the soldier's face returned to expressionless again and he said to Wang Wu's compatriots.
The compatriot walked over, nodded and bowed, and then took the initiative to put his hand on the stone before the other party could say anything.
There was still no change, and there was no expression on his face. After looking at the stone for a while, the soldier in charge of looking at the stone raised his hand, ready to let the other party pass.
"Wait."
But just then, a voice interrupted him. The sound came from above. The soldiers and Wang Wu both raised their heads, and then they saw a person floating in the air. He was wearing the same robe, but he didn't know if it was a Taoist robe, but he looked very similar.
He is very young, has a good temperament, and has a good appearance, but he is not comparable to the fellow demon racer in front of him.
The man fell to the ground, glanced at his compatriot who still had his hands on the stone, and then looked at Wang Wu. Then, he flicked his sleeves, and a huge glass mirror appeared at hand.
"Go over and look in front of the mirror." The man said.
It can be seen that his compatriot was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"What?"
And just because of his surprise, the young man's expression suddenly darkened.
"Okay... okay." Wang Wu saw his compatriot's body shaking slightly, and the young man seemed to notice this, but there was no change in expression on his face.
Then the compatriot walked to the mirror and stood still. Wang Wu looked down on the expression on his face because his back was turned to him.
As for that mirror...it seems a bit special.
It cannot illuminate the place behind it, it can only illuminate the man in front of it and reflect the scene inside. As for Wang Wu and others behind them, they cannot be reflected in the mirror.
And now, when the man came to the front and back of the mirror, Wang Wu also saw the other person's appearance reflected in the mirror.
The human body and the head of an animal are not ugly to be honest, but this is obviously enough to prove that this is not a person.
Wolf demon, a red-haired wolf demon.
"Hmph, you little evildoer, you still want to sneak into our Hedong County?"
The young monk looked at the wolf demon in the mirror, sneered and said.
"Fuck!!!"
And the moment he saw himself in the mirror, the expression on the wolf demon's face suddenly changed, and then he violently erupted, exuding soaring demonic aura, and clawed at the man in front of him.
In an instant, black smoke filled the air in front of the city gate, and a figure jumped out of the smoke and fled into the distance.
"Humph, want to escape?"
But it was also in the smoke that the male voice sounded again.
Along with these words, a cold light exploded in the black smoke, shooting towards the figure that had already sprung out in the distance.
The cold light came first, and then Wang Wu saw a scarlet fountain rising up on the official road in the distance.
After that, the figure continued to move forward several hundred meters before falling heavily to the ground.
At the same time, the black smoke dissipated, and the cold light roared back, reaching the young monk's hand. It turned out to be a five-foot jade sword.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Wu felt that a pair of sharp eyes had been locked on him.
"You." The monk looked at Wang Wu.
"Would you like to take a look in front of this mirror?"
