Chapter 254 The Boss
In the tea shed, several Jianghu guests stared at the large formation in front of them, frowning, but no one dared to act rashly.
"There is no news about Master and Uncle yet?"
"There is no news at all. Since entering yesterday, Feige has not responded, and there is no movement from the messenger. This fog is like It's like eating people!"
"Do you think master and uncle can..."
"Bah, bah! You said something unlucky! You deserve a beating!"
Several charlatans thought carefully, looking worriedly at the glowing gray mountains in the distance.
This mountain only allows entry but not exit, which is really weird.
When I came here on the first day, I was full of joy, thinking that the treasure would definitely be in my hands.
Now I just hope that someone I know well can return from the fog.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Jianghu guest looked forward and frowned.
He saw an old beggar walking slowly towards the large formation in front of him under the cloudy sky and light rain.
"This old beggar also wants to go in and look for treasures?"
The Jianghu guest who discovered this let out a light sigh, which also attracted other bystanders to look in that direction.
Take a look and burst into laughter:
"Oh, look at his moral character, he must be a low-level person."
"These jugglers always have some unreliable ideas, their eyes are higher than the sky, and their fate is thinner than paper."
>The tea tents of several households that had been in a serious atmosphere suddenly burst into laughter.
A few kind-hearted charlatans stood up and wanted to stop the old beggar, but they were pulled back by the people next to them with a smile, saying that it was not worth expending so much effort for a beggar.
While these quacks were noisy, they suddenly heard a harsh sound of metal instruments playing from not far away.
It seemed that the one with the clearest voice among the birds sang a shrill whistle!
And behind the old beggar, the sound of gongs, drums and suonas suddenly sounded. Looking at it in the rain, it seemed that there were countless shadowy figures dancing in the rain.
The gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers were blasting, and behind the old beggar, in the drizzle, a team draped in red ribbons and flowers walked out.
They played happily, sang and danced. You could see people wearing lion dance clothes in the rain, you could also see people with paper-made golden dragons tied to wooden sticks dancing casually, and people playing gongs and scattering red paper flowers. Yes, you can even see a bald man wearing red clothes and carrying a big basket of mules accompanying him. Halfway through, he covered his mouth with his hands and shouted:
“Shave your head! ”
It's like a low-class escort to the bride, and it's like a temple fair in a temple, it's so lively!
There are indeed four warriors in the middle of this group of people. They carry heavy burdens on their shoulders, wear red trousers, and walk flat on the muddy land without any difficulty.
But if you look closely, you can see that what they are carrying on their shoulders is not a sedan at all.
But a dark red coffin.
The coffin was covered with several pieces of red cloth, and a huge red flower was tied in the middle.
The drizzle soaked the red paper and turned it into crumbs on the muddy ground, forming a scarlet color, as if the group of people were walking on a bloody road, wandering through the rain.
The Jianghu guests who were smiling at first suddenly became dumbfounded and looked at each other.
What a big battle!
This beggar...
Who is it?
...
In the front row of the entire team was a man, holding a suona and playing it with all his strength. He was dancing and walking very happily.
It wasn’t until he walked behind the old beggar that he put down the instrument in his hand and bowed respectfully in the direction of the old beggar:
“Boss, the bride has already been given to you. Here we come.”
The old beggar turned back and glanced at the people in front of him.
He saw a pair of eyes staring at him.
Those eyes were full of trust.
The old beggar believed that even if the group of people in front of him were allowed to die on the spot, they would continue to fight without hesitation.
"Sons, I have worked hard for you all these years!"
"Boss, what are you talking about?" The young man playing the suona said with a smile: "We are all born and raised. , If I hadn’t followed you, I would have starved to death on the street! Now that I can eat meat, drink wine, and play with women, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?”
"It's better to live in this world without being satisfied." The boss waved his hand: "Leave the coffin and leave here as soon as possible. Go as far away as possible. If this happens, I will definitely be able to find you. If I can't do this, you have enough capital, so you can go ahead and do your own thing."
No one refused after hearing this, and the four Lifu put down the coffin.
They were not in a hurry to leave, but they all bowed in the direction of the old beggar and continued for a long time.
When the old beggar waved his hand to drive them away, they turned around and left, no longer staying.
Occasionally a young man stopped, and the boss went up to them and kicked them hard on the butt, causing them to roll on the spot, and then left in embarrassment.
After they were completely gone, the old beggar came to the coffin and put his hand on the coffin.
He just exerted a little force, as if he was pinching a very light object, carrying it, and walked into the thick fog of the light curtain.
After stepping into it, a sense of oppression hit his face, and the old beggar suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in his body was suppressed.
But he didn't care and just continued to move forward until his body completely disappeared into the mist.
Soon, he crossed the fog, and what appeared in front of him was not the foot of the Gray Mountain, but a huge open plain.
The area here is extremely huge, and the boundary cannot be seen at a glance. The sky is gloomy and there is a continuous drizzle, which makes the dirt roads muddy and difficult to walk.
In this vast wilderness, a giant black tree blocking out the sky and sun stood in the center. The giant tree was completely black, as if it had been burned by flames.
If you look carefully, you can still see a group of people gathered under the giant tree, in a state of panic.
The old beggar saw them and was happy:
"Hey, these sons didn't run away at that time. They were still here for me."
Soon, he arrived at the front of the crowd, and the sudden appearance of the old beggar man attracted everyone's attention. Pay attention, the old man in ragged clothes soon squeezed out from the crowd and ran to the old beggar.
When the old man saw the old beggar, tears suddenly flowed down his face. He stepped forward and said:
“I’ve been here for two days, but I’m waiting for you to come. ”
This person is the scholar from the library.
Ever since this formation was activated, all the nearby spiritual beings have been blocked, and he, his men, and the Jianghu people from Qingzhou were trapped here.
At the beginning, the two groups were still holding knives and swords, trying to fight each other. Soon they found that all their Taoist skills had disappeared, and they could not use any of them. Some of them relied entirely on food. The vigorous old man even became haggard in an instant, and it was difficult to even move.
There is no other way. If we continue to fight like this, no one on both sides will survive. We might as well make peace temporarily and wait for the opportunity to go out together.
After waiting for a long time, no reinforcements arrived. Instead, a group of charlatans who coveted treasures arrived.
After seeing the living people and the big black tree, these Jianghu people all had frightened faces and were so frightened that they couldn't help themselves.
At first they were still full of fear, looking around like headless flies for a way out, but after trying it once, they found that they couldn't leave, so they could only stay with the layman in Ulu and wait for the arrival outside. rescue.
But the situation here is not very good.
Everyone under the Ulu layman brought some dried meat and dry food, which was only enough for them to last for three or four days at most. Several old people suffered a stroke at night because they lost the support of their energy and the cold spring rain. life.
Even Ulu layman is not in good condition. He is coughing, sneezing, and his forehead is hot.
If I can't get out again, I'm afraid my life will be lost here!
It is precisely because of this that the old beggar seems to be a savior to the Ulu layman.
"Old sir, after this formation is activated, we won't be able to get out. Can you think of a way to let us out first?"
Ulu layman is respectful.
He felt a lot more at ease now.
This old beggar must be very capable, and he should be able to take them out.
By the way, get rid of this group of Qingzhou people and this group of Jianghu people.
When the time comes, I can return to Kyoto to receive the reward, and I can take good care of myself, eat and drink a lot, and replenish my body.
The old beggar glanced at the Ulu layman, and slowly said:
"Once the spirit-breaking and Qi-sealing formation is opened, no one can get out unless the formation's eyes are broken. "
Hearing this, Ulu layman's face suddenly changed, and he murmured:
"Then... what should we do?"
"You are the scholar in the library, Ulu, right?"
"Yes." The Ulu layman didn't know why the old beggar in front of him suddenly acted like this ask.
The old beggar did not continue to speak, but walked straight towards the big black tree.
Soon he walked to the seemingly burnt tree and put his hand on the trunk.
"Laity, do you know the power of this formation?"
"According to you... it should be to cut off the spiritual energy and prevent people from going out?" Ulu layman did not dare to disobey the other party at all, and followed the words in a good voice. .
"This is a large formation set up to ambush fellow Taoists, and I am the thug in the ambush." The old beggar sighed: "But, the big shot who asked me to do this is really tricky. Promising treasures but not promising cultivation, I have no choice but to make two changes to this formation to get some rewards that should belong to me."
"Huh?" Ulu layman stared. Eyes, waves of ominous feelings came to my mind.
“Originally, there was no such tree in this formation.”
As the old beggar spoke, Ulu layman felt that the big tree in front of him became more gloomy, as if it had merged with the gray mountain, which was horrifying!
The hair on the back of Ulu layman's body is also standing on end!
It doesn't matter to him that the formation has been changed, nor does it matter to him that he can fight in a powerful way.
The important thing is that this old beggar told himself everything!
These words are obviously secrets that cannot be told outside!
Who wouldn't reveal secrets?
No secret will be revealed until the dead!
Thinking of this, Ulu layman was already covered in cold sweat.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late in the end.
I saw Xiao Huanxi, the boss, tilted his head slightly, with a kind smile on his face, looking at Ulu layman:
"You have worked hard over the years."
The tone was calm.
Like comfort.
