Chapter 179 Monster
After the mad woman left, Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart finally eased a little.
Although he failed to get Erliang back, as the other party was a top expert and had personally promised not to harm Erliang, he would not use her as a threat. Jiang Shouzhong had to put down his worries for the time being.
Suddenly, Jiang Shouzhong thought of something, raised his head and shouted, "Meng Niang?"
No one responded.
The bright red figure did not appear either.
Jiang Shouzhong shouted a few more times, but there was still no response from Meng Niang. His heart suddenly thumped and he became nervous.
Is it possible that the woman killed Meng Niang?
You must know that Meng Niang must always be by his side, otherwise her life will be in danger if she is separated for a long time.
At this moment, Mengniang suddenly appeared in the house.
The woman's face was as pale as paper, showing an unconcealable weakness, almost crumbling.
She tried her best to steady her body, and quickly floated to Jiang Shouzhong. She put a trembling hand on his shoulder, then closed her eyes, and put her face close to Jiang Shouzhong, absorbing the death energy from him.
Seeing that the woman was about to fall over, Jiang Shouzhong quickly supported her.
Meng Niang’s soft, boneless and cold body almost leaned on his strong chest.
Seeing that the woman was still alive, Jiang Shouzhong was relieved. However, the other party's situation was obviously caused by a long separation from him, and was even more serious than the time when the old Taoist priest cheated.
Jiang Shouzhong did not dare to move and allowed the woman to absorb the dead energy and recover.
After a while, Meng Niang’s pale face regained some rosiness, and her cold body gained a touch of warmth.
Because Jiang Shouzhong hasn't had time to put on clothes yet, there is only the woman's thin and cool skirt and shirt, and the warmth and delicate touch between the skin are clearly transmitted through the fabric, as if there is nothing.
Especially when one of his hands is resting on the opponent's waist, the touch between his palms is like stroking a piece of boneless silk, which is incomparably graceful.
In a true sense, Jiang Shouzhong saw what a snake waist is.
It took a long time for Meng Niang to recover completely.
Opening her eyes, she saw the man naked and the two hugging each other almost intimately. The woman's cheeks immediately turned red. She quickly took two steps back, turned around and apologized: "I'm sorry, her cultivation level is too high. There is nothing I can do to save you."
"It's okay, I just want to make sure you are safe."
Jiang Shouzhong touched his nose in embarrassment and quickly put it on and was thrown away by Luo Wanqing. Clothes in the room.
"In the recent crises, I have not been able to help you..." Meng Niang sighed, her voice soft but extremely apologetic, "Jiang Mo, I am really sorry..."
< br>
Jiang Shouzhong smiled helplessly and said: "It has nothing to do with you. It's because of me. The enemies I encountered were too scary. There are several masters in the Ascension Realm in this world, but I happened to meet them. It's really unlucky."
"Jiang Mo, how about..."
Meng Niang bit her thin lips lightly, but in the end she still couldn't make up her mind, "Forget it, I will try my best to protect you."
< br>After saying that, the woman disappeared into the room.
Jiang Shouzhong was confused and didn't understand what the other party wanted to say.
——
Back at the inn, Jiang Shouzhong packed his luggage and officially embarked on the journey to Qingzhou.
This time he plans to take the water route, which can save half the distance and can reach Qingzhou in four or five days at most.
Jiang Shouzhong came to the Zhusui River ferry and found a passenger ship.
It is a long-distance passenger boat with a three-story ship building.
The ground floor is a warehouse and a resting place for servants, the second floor is ordinary guest rooms, and the top floor is a luxury suite where some wealthy businessmen and people with status live.
Jiang Shouzhong didn't plan to show off, so he booked an ordinary guest room.
The furnishings in the room are simple, with a hardwood bed, a desk, two bamboo chairs, and landscape scrolls hanging on the wall.
I don’t know if it was because he discussed two lives with Yelu Miaomiao and absorbed a lot of pure yin energy. Shortly after boarding the ship, Jiang Shouzhong’s Golden Dao Body broke through to Master Daxuan.
In this way, his earth body, fire body and gold body are all Daxuan masters.
The Wood Dao Body and Water Dao Body have risen to the level of a first-grade martial artist.
It is equivalent to three great masters and two first-level masters living in the body.
With such strength, he can even compete with some Tianhuang realm masters whose foundation is not stable.
Since he chose to take a boat, Jiang Shouzhong converted the Tao body into a "Water body" and asked the two little Jin men to open up the acupoints, hoping to use this journey to improve the cultivation of the Water body.
After simply eating dry food, Jiang Shouzhong came to the deck.
The boatmen were busy on the deck, checking cables and adjusting sails, creating a tense and orderly scene. The three-story ship building is exquisitely arranged, with spacious and bright cabins on each floor, exquisite window lattice and staggered grilles. It can protect you from wind and rain, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way through the gaps.
Coincidentally, Jiang Shouzhong saw the girl again on the deck - the one who once told her fortune.
Wasn’t this girl at the inn before?
Jiang Shou was surprised.
Seeing the other party standing alone on the bow of the boat holding a small cactus with a worried look on his face, Jiang Shouzhong still did not come forward to say hello.
It's just a one-time relationship, it's hard to tell whether the other party recognizes him or not.
At noon, the ship began to launch.
There are still a lot of people on the passenger ship. In addition to the boatmen, there are about forty guests.
Most of the guests stay in relatively cheap common rooms with multiple guests. There are farmers and traders in coarse linen clothes, people with swords and travels in their pockets, and even lone monks.
There are also students from poor families who appear with books in their arms.
At this time, there was a young man wearing an old green shirt next to Jiang Shouzhong and not looking outstanding.
The man is holding a yellowed ancient book in his hand, looking far into the river with a leisurely expression.
After the boat traveled a certain distance, the young scholar seemed to be suddenly inspired by poetry. He held his hands behind his back and tapped the railing of the boat gently with the other hand. He said leisurely, "The river reflects the sunlight, and the light boat ripples and flies along the waves. On both sides of the bank, The green mountains face each other, and the nostalgia of the river enters the poem..."
While chanting, the young man looked at the girl holding a cactus on the bow of the boat with his peripheral vision.
But the girl's face was calm, completely ignoring the things around her, and she never even cast her eyes on the man reciting poetry. Even the other passengers on the passenger ship didn't look at him. The young scholar suddenly seemed resentful.
To ease the embarrassment, the young scholar took the initiative to chat with Jiang Shouzhong,
“I was in a poetry mood just now, and the abruptness made me laugh.”
The young scholar smiled apologetically. , deliberately amplifying his voice, "My surname is Yu. I come from Tongzhou. Fortunately, I have received the title of scholar due to the grace of God. If you don't give up, just call me Xiao Yu."
Jiang Shouzhong He said seriously, "Xiao Yu, you really made me laugh just now."
"Plop!"
A clear and sweet laughter, like beads falling on a jade plate, suddenly sounded from the bow of the ship.
The girl holding the cactus couldn't help laughing, her smile spread slightly.
However, the girl did not look here, and still stared at the river.
“……”
Yu Xiucai's face turned red and he didn't know how to respond.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing gold and silver with a rich face on the third floor laughed and said: "Poor scholar, my family is prosperous and the two barks are more artistic than yours. You are still a scholar." ? It's a lie."
Yu Xiucai was furious and said angrily: "I got my scholar status through examination. If you don't believe it, go and verify it yourself."
After the two quarreled! On this occasion, Jiang Shouzhong returned to his room.
He didn't pay much attention to this little incident and started boxing when he came to the room.
Time passed, and soon it was evening.
The passenger ship moved forward leisurely, and the bright moon hanging high in the sky shone like a clear moon, silently falling on the river and soaking the hull of the ship.
Jiang Shouzhong went to the latrine and met the scholar Yu again when he came back.
The other party was chattering away, and he didn’t know what he was talking about. When he saw Jiang Shouzhong, he smiled awkwardly and walked past.
Jiang Shouzhong didn't pay much attention and went straight back to the house.
Yu Xiucai's room was at the far end. After relieving himself, he returned to the room and happened to see a woman in white standing in front of the next door.
The woman stood with a dignified posture, facing the door, as if she was waiting for someone, her body swaying.
——
After a brief wash, Jiang Shouzhong was preparing to take a rest when suddenly a shrill scream rang out.
Then, something seemed to fall with a bang.
Jiang Shouzhong was curious and went out to check, only to see the young scholar crawling up from the deck. His face was pale and his lips were trembling. He wanted to say something but could not make a sound.
Boom!
Another thing fell down.
It was actually a human head.
It was the wealthy businessman who mocked the young scholar during the day.
