I just want to be a quiet man

However, both "Xi" and "Ti" shook their heads: "For the layout of the second gate, we only know that we can bring four subordinates."

"What the king wants is a chess player."

"I don't know anything else."

Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's look around first to see if there are any other clues."

"But don't go far to avoid accidents."

Others nodded one after another: "Okay!"

So, they each chose a direction and began to investigate.

Pei Ling was also among them, but he hadn't gone far when the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he returned to the side of the tombstone.

Seeing this scene, Pei Ling was startled at first, and then immediately realized that this lonely grave is his current territory.

And he can't leave the territory!

At this time, the sound of a potter's wheel was faintly heard in the distance.

Chapter 1: Night Rain.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the light of the sun and the moon is hard to reach, and it is haunted all year round. No matter when you walk in, the place is wet, sticky and dull.

The color of star frost is only on the branches.

Under the densely intertwined branches and leaves, there are shadows and shadows of darkness, obscurity and confusion.

An ape climbed lightly among the treetops, and in an instant, it made a vertical leap and suddenly lowered a clump of branches. When the shadows of the trees were swaying, a ray of starlight accidentally fell into the forest.

Just right, a lonely tomb was illuminated.

The next moment, the five figures pushed away the dirt and crawled out of the grave one by one with a rustling sound.

"Yu" and the four greedy slaves walked out of the tomb and stood on the open space. The faces around them were disappearing quickly.

The power of [Ten Thousand Souls Curse] has quickly receded.

After a while, the state of master and servant has returned to normal, but at this moment, the breath suddenly dropped!At the same time, blood began to flow from the tombstone beside him, staining the blood-colored cloud seal...

※※※

Barren villages with dry wells and ruins.

At the entrance of the dilapidated and deserted village, under an old tree that has been dead for an unknown number of years, stands a solitary tomb.

The pink bride and the "prisoner" pushed away the soil that had been repeatedly tapped and crawled out of the tomb.

The festering and human faces on their bodies are gradually fading away.

Before recovering, the pink bride said immediately: "I know how I lost in the first gate!"

"Prisoner" looked at the pink bride and asked, "How?"

The Pink Bride said: "Pei Ling, pretend to be a 'curse'!"

Hearing this, "Prisoner" frowned, and then quickly said: "You tell the whole story of the matter, so as not to use the same method this time."

Pink Bride nodded: "Good!"

As soon as the voice fell, the last face disappeared, and she and the "prisoner" completely recovered, but the next moment, the aura of the two began to drop rapidly!

After a while, they both fell into the Qi training period.

And at this moment, on the tombstone beside him, lines of blood-colored cloud seals began to appear quickly...

"Rule one..."

"Rule two..."

The pink bride and the "prisoner" quickly read the four rules, and the pink bride frowned immediately, and said, "We have to find a way to restore our cultivation strength!"

"Prisoner" nodded, suddenly picked up the cage in his hand, and opened the cage door with one hand.

Three little people the size of fingers walked out of the cage immediately.

Stepping out of the cage door in one step, it quickly grew in size.

Soon, it turned into three human monks: the one in the middle had frost on his temples, his face was handsome, and seemed to be middle-aged;

At this moment, all three of them looked dazed, their eyes were clouded, and their cultivation bases were also suppressed to the Qi training stage.

It was the three of Fu Xuanxu who had disappeared!

"Prisoner" looked calm, and said to the three human races: "You each choose a direction, and check the surrounding situation."

"After a stick of incense, come back and report."

The three of Fu Xuanxu came to their senses when they heard the words, and immediately said, "Okay!"

After saying that, they didn't question the order of the "prisoner" at all, so they dispersed according to the other party's instructions, and went to check the surroundings.

Watching the three of them leave, "Prisoner" said calmly: "Let these three survivors explore the way first, now, tell me about Pei Ling's method."

on the wilderness.

More than a dozen riders gathered the reins, suppressing the urge of the galloping horses under them, and surrounded an ordinary linoleum car.

On the wall of the linoleum car, there is a dead wind lamp, which flutters continuously with the roughness of the road, pulling out strange shadows.On the shaft of the chariot, a burly man sat casually cross-legged. He was dressed in a red robe, his eyes were long and narrow, and he was full of evil spirits. Closed, the posture is idle.

However, the warriors cruising around showed a clear awe of it as they marched forward.

Suddenly, the starlight and moonlight above disappeared without a trace, and a dark cloud came quietly, covering the sky.

The whole wilderness suddenly plunged into darkness.

The road ahead was vaguely discernible at first, but looking around at this moment, the night was so vast that it was impossible to tell the specific situation.

This team was obviously well-tested, and without anyone calling, they reined in the reins and stopped marching.

"Chief Escort." A knight turned his horse's head under the light of a wind lamp, approached the shaft, and said in a deep voice, "The sky has changed suddenly, and the livestock can't see the path clearly. I'm afraid they can't continue walking."

Hearing the words, the driver opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and said: "In that case, let's take a rest here, and then..."

But before the words fell, a crackling sound was suddenly heard.

The bean-sized raindrops fell without any warning, and everyone's robes were soaked in an instant.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the group frowned: "You can still see the glow in the evening, why is it raining suddenly?"

The rain fell as soon as it was said, and it became pouring in an instant.

The place they were in seemed to be on a low-lying terrain, and the rain from all directions gathered in an instant, and it didn't take long for the horses' hooves to be submerged.

Seeing this situation, the Chief Escort immediately ordered: "Change places, we can't stay here."

"Yes!" The knights knew that the situation was urgent, and after responding, even if several of them separated, they each took out a torch from their arms, lit the wind lanterns hanging on the saddle, and galloped away in various directions, looking for someone who could Avoid flooded high ground.

After a while, a knight braved the heavy rain and returned to the side of the carriage, and said loudly: "Chief Escort, there are lights ahead! It seems to be an inn!"

Inn?

Hearing this, everyone was immediately refreshed, and the chief escort immediately ordered: "Go quickly, and stay overnight at the inn tonight."

"Yes!" Everyone responded, and immediately someone took out a special whistle, and after blowing it vigorously, the cry of a night bird sounded immediately, and it spread far away in the night.

Soon, the other knights who had gone to explore the road returned one after another. After hearing that there was an inn nearby, they were all relieved.

Due to the strict delivery date set by the customer, not only was the head of the security guard in charge of the battle in person, but they also chose to walk on the path for the first time during their trip. For the rest of the month, even hard-working men could not bear it. .

How can you not be happy to be able to stay in the inn for one night now?

At that moment, everyone turned the horses' heads, and the chief escort also controlled the reins, ordering the pulled horses to turn around and head towards the inn.

"Sorry..."

However, all the mounts stood still, snorting again and again, appearing to be very resistant, unwilling to take a step towards the inn at all.

"Crash..."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon a mist rose around it, blocking the view, and the water on the ground was getting higher and higher.

Seeing this situation, everyone was annoyed. The night was dark and the rain was pouring heavily. The place where they are now may be submerged at any time. After finally finding a place to hide from the rain, these beasts actually made trouble at such a time...

Thinking of this, the Chief Escort's face darkened, and he immediately swung his whip and slammed it on the horse's back.

The others were also full of anger, and also began to flog these disobedient animals.

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

While whipping and yelling loudly, after a long time, the horse couldn't bear the pain and let out a series of whines, and had to turn around and head towards the inn.

Chapter 1 and Three: Empty Cloth Inn.

It was pouring rain and the road was muddy.

A group of people marched with difficulty, and after spending some effort, they finally came to the inn.

However, this inn is half old and not new. It seems that it has been built for some time. Under the light of the wind lamp at the door, there are traces of moss.

The plaque, which has been covered with traces in the years of wind and rain, is engraved with four characters: "Kongbu Inn."

"Crash..."

The rain is pouring down like pouring down the Tianhe River, pouring down, looking in all directions, there is a vast mist, only the lights of the inn, burning a little warmth.

The chief escort turned his head slightly, and looked at an elderly escort beside him.

The bodyguard nodded, immediately got off his horse, walked to the gate of the inn, knocked hard on the door, and shouted loudly: "Shopkeeper, open the door! Stay at the top!"

At the same time, the other bodyguards were all looking at the inn gate with vigilant expressions, and put their hands on the handles of their knives to guard against any possible accidents.

After all, the goods on their trip are very valuable, and they cannot be ignored in the slightest.

Only the Chief Escort who was sitting on the shaft of the chariot remained motionless, with a calm expression, appearing unhurried.Different from other bodyguards, he has outstanding bones since he was a child, and he has been worshiped by a famous teacher. He has learned martial arts and experienced countless ups and downs. He is recognized as a first-class master in the world.

Walking around now, there is no need to be like those second- and third-rate warriors, who are always in awe and panic.

In the entire rivers and lakes, there are not many people who dare to trouble him!

"Squeak."

The inn door finally opened.

Standing behind the door was a thin gray-robed man who looked like the shopkeeper. Bright lights shone from behind him, covering most of his face in shadow, only a small half of his gray-black face could be seen.

The lobby behind was deserted, with many empty tables and chairs, and few people could be seen. It was very quiet at the moment, and only the sound of pattering rain could be heard.

The shopkeeper looked at them directly, and asked hoarsely, "How many?"

Seeing that there were not many people in this inn, the bodyguards secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They were carrying expensive goods on this trip, so they were naturally worried that something might happen on the way.

If there are too many people and there are mixed fish and dragons, there will inevitably be hidden dangers.

But now there are only a handful of people in this inn, but there are many people on our side, so naturally there is no need to worry about accidents.

The bodyguard who knocked on the door immediately said: "There are fifteen of us, let's have something to eat first, and then stay overnight."

"Also, do you have good fodder here? We need to feed the horses."

The shopkeeper turned his head when he heard the words, and said, "Xiaoer, go and feed the horses for the guests."

As soon as the words fell, a waiter with a dull expression came out. He was tall and thin. When he walked, he felt light and light, as if he would go with the wind anytime, anywhere.

With a pale face and empty eyes, he walked silently to the escort team and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper slowly retreated into the shadow behind the door, "Guest, please come in."

Soon, the figure of the shopkeeper disappeared, leaving only the door wide open, waiting patiently for the escort team to enter.

Seeing this, the bodyguard who knocked on the door turned to look at the chief bodyguard.

The head of the escort said calmly: "Leave a few people to watch the goods and check the fodder, and the others will go to the store to rest."

"Next, every hour, take turns to watch the night."

"Once there is any situation, we will use the whistle as a signal to communicate with each other."

All the bodyguards responded one after another: "Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, the Chief Escort jumped off the shaft of the car, and walked towards the gate of the inn first.
