I just want to be a quiet man

The many bodyguards behind him quickly discussed a few words, and soon, most of them followed the head of the bodyguard into the store, and the four bodyguards turned over and got off the ground, leading the mounts and guarding the carriage, under the guidance of Xiaoer , walked towards the backyard.

Although this inn is located in a remote place, it occupies a vast area.

Right now, it was raining heavily, and after the two sides separated, they only took a few steps, and they could no longer see the other party's figure clearly.

The Chief Escort and his team quickly walked into the inn, but they saw that there was an extremely spacious main hall inside the inn.

Near the gate, there was a row of chest-high counters. The shopkeeper just now was standing behind the counter, holding an abacus in both hands, motionless, watching the escort team come in.

Behind him, there is a row of wooden shelves as high as the roof, on which there are various bottles and jars with names on them: "Peach Blossom Noodles, Apricot Blossom Noodles, Pear Blossom Noodles..."

"Rice vinegar, aged vinegar..."

"Green salt, white salt..."

With a casual glance, there are sundries such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. On the edge of the wooden frame, there are strings of dried goods such as peppers, garlic, eggplants, and shiitake mushrooms. It seems that this inn also doubles as a grocery store.

The interior is paved with old blue bricks, and the moss is thick in the gaps.

Outside the counter, there are tables and chairs for guests.

Among them, the seats by the window are slightly separated by simple bamboo curtains, and the word "elegant seat" is hung on it.

Wind lanterns hung on the roof, illuminating the entire lobby as if it were daytime, but there were not many guests at the moment, and most of the seats were empty.

There were only a few scattered tables where people were sitting, and they seemed to be drinking stuffy wine, and no one made a sound, not even the sound of cups and chopsticks clashing.

The Chief Escort looked around and found nothing unusual, so he led a group of Escorts and sat down at two tables.

"The day is changing so fast!" After taking his seat, an escort picked up the teapot on the table, poured a round of tea for everyone, and sighed, "I thought I could arrive at Fucheng tomorrow morning, but now I will see , it would be nice to arrive at dusk tomorrow.”

The companion said: "Let's be content! Along the way, there are as many bandits as a cow's hair. If it wasn't for the prestige of the head of the bodyguard, which made them dare not act rashly, An Neng came here smoothly? Now it's just a rain. Resting for one night is just enough for us to breathe a sigh of relief."

"That's right! The head of the bodyguard is super powerful, but we've been wiped out on this trip... So far, everyone hasn't even drawn their knives out of their sheaths once..."

"The rain just now was really heavy. I have grown up so big, and I have never seen such a heavy rain..."

"Tch! How old are you, kid? How many times have you seen the world? That rain just now was too heavy? Let me tell you, I think back then..."

Everyone was chatting in a hurry, but after talking for a long time, it was getting colder and hungrier, but no waiter came over to say hello.They gradually became impatient with waiting, and a bodyguard immediately shouted to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper! Quickly serve some food and wine!"

The shopkeeper remained motionless, still holding the abacus, staring at them without any reaction.

The bodyguard frowned, got up immediately, walked to the counter, took out a piece of broken silver, and slapped it on the chopping board.

"Serve some wine and food, wine..." He urged again, but just in the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Chapter 1 and Four: Test Rules.

I saw the body of the shopkeeper behind the counter, whose body was already rotten. The so-called gray robe was actually covered by countless mosquitoes and flies. Upon closer inspection, it was creepy and almost nauseated. He was dead for an unknown amount of time dead body!

Seeing that the companion who got up to urge him suddenly stopped talking, the Chief Escort immediately asked: "Old Qian, what's wrong?"

Escort Qian suddenly turned his head, and was about to say something, when a gurgle of blood suddenly seeped from the cracks in the green bricks on the ground, soaking the shoes of the escort team in an instant.

At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from nowhere, and in an instant, everyone felt a biting chill, from the tailbone all the way to the sky.

The Wind Lamp of Angry Death was shaking violently, shaking and shaking, and suddenly transformed into a hanging head of a stranger, with a ferocious face, mouth wide open, and a cluster of dark green flames burning quietly on the tip of the tongue.

The suddenly green light shone on the faces of many strangers, reflecting them into a miserable green color, like a ghost.

The faces of all the bodyguards suddenly changed drastically!

※※※

The rain was rumbling and the west wind was cold.

The bean-sized raindrops slapped on the face, and the skin was a little numb.

The four bodyguards dispersed slightly, shouted and urged their feet, and followed Xiaoer towards the backyard.

After walking for a long time, the heavy rain poured down, and the wind lantern hanging on the carriage fluttered up and down in the wind and rain, illuminating the surroundings in a trance.

Everything was the same as when they were at the entrance of the inn. The bodyguards gradually became vigilant. The inn didn't look very big. Why did they not reach the backyard after walking for so long?

The four of them looked at each other secretly through the rain curtain, and they all clenched the handle of the knife tightly.

One of the bodyguards immediately asked, "Xiao Er, how long will it take to get to the backyard?"

Xiao Er kept walking forward without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, the four bodyguards realized that the situation was wrong, and the bodyguard continued to shout: "Xiao Er, I want to ask you something!"

"Step, step, step..." Xiaoer walked unhurriedly as if he had never heard of it.

brush!

The next moment, one of the bodyguards suddenly drew his sword, rushed through the rain curtain in a few steps, and slashed at Xiaoer's head!

clang!

The knife sliced ​​through the rain without hindrance, and hit Xiaoer's neck.

Xiao Er didn't move at all, but the bodyguard's mouth was numb from the shock, and the long knife flew out of his hand immediately.

"boom!"

Seeing the long knife falling to the ground, the four bodyguards were stunned at the same time, Xiao Er finally stopped, his body didn't move, but his head turned around with a "click".

His face was as pale as death, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, revealing an extremely weird and ferocious smile.

"he he he he he……"

The sharp and piercing laughter echoed in the night rain.

The wind seems to be getting colder, and the "crashing" rain seems to cut off the world.

Seeing such an abnormal scene, even though the four bodyguards are people who are accustomed to the world, their expressions changed drastically at this moment, and they turned around and ran away without any hesitation!

There is a problem with this inn, I have to go to the chief escort immediately!

The rain was pouring, and the water vapor filled the air.

The four bodyguards ran like flying, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Er was left behind.

After running for quite a distance, seeing that Xiao Er hadn't caught up, the bodyguard at the front immediately said: "Invulnerable! What the hell was that just now?!"

"Even if it's the head of the bodyguard, it's impossible for him to get cut in the neck, and nothing will happen!"

"I hope the chief escort can deal with that thing..."

As he talked, the bodyguard gradually felt that something was wrong. He looked back, but saw that there was no one behind him. The three companions who had fled with him just now had all disappeared without a trace!

The bodyguard was startled. At this moment, a head that was continuously dripping blood rolled out of the darkness like a ball, and landed at his feet.

The bodyguard looked down and immediately realized that this was the head of the chief bodyguard!

His complexion paled instantly, and extreme fear was revealed in his suddenly wide-open eyes.

The bodyguard didn't dare to make any noise, and hurriedly turned and ran away, but because of the great panic that seized his body and soul, just as he took a step, he staggered and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Regardless of the embarrassment, he hurriedly stood up from the rain, and then ran wildly...

※※※

"Oh oh oh..."

Accompanied by a distant rooster crowing, the pitch-black night gradually turned into a twilight.

Soon, the sky was twilight, and in the barren wilderness, behind the simple stone tablet, there was a lonely tomb.

The tomb is surrounded by overgrown weeds and deserted.

At this moment, a linoleum cart was pulled by horses, next to the tomb.Around the carriage, fifteen warriors dressed as bodyguards were lying unsteadily in the grass, and a group of mounts were scattered around, snorting from time to time, showing a look of anxiety, and even the occasional young leaves on the grass had no intention of eating.

"what!!!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded, and the head of the escort suddenly woke up, and immediately touched his neck, and soon came back to his senses, he had just had a nightmare.

He quickly jumped up with a carp and quickly observed the situation around him.

It was soon discovered that there was a tombstone standing among the weeds and the trees and crows. The tombstone was blank and there was nothing there, and behind it was a lonely tomb.

And beside the tomb, the brothers of the Escort are all there, as are the carriages loaded with goods.

The corners of the Chief Escort's eyes twitched, without any hesitation, he immediately stepped forward, pushed and slapped his companion vigorously: "Old Qian, wake up! Wake up!"

"Xiaoqiu, wake up! Wake up!"

"Old Zhao, Old Hu..."

After kicking and pulling to wake everyone up, he quickly got into the car to check the goods, but found that everything in the car was as usual, the seals of the goods were intact, and there was no trace of being touched.

"what……"

"How is this going……"

"Aren't I dead? Uncle Qian, aren't you dead too?"

The bodyguards were gradually awakened, and all of them opened their eyes, with residual fear and despair still on their faces.

Seeing that everyone is fine and the goods are still there, the Chief Escort didn't say any nonsense, and directly ordered: "Everyone get on their horses and get out of here quickly!"

A group of bodyguards didn't have any objections, they got on their horses as fast as they could, and ran away as if fleeing.

The sky is getting brighter, and the tombs and tombstones are becoming more and more clear.

Under the westerly wind, the solitary tomb is silent, adding a touch of desolation.

The figures of Pei Ling and others slowly emerged.

Looking at the direction the bodyguard team was leaving, Pei Ling nodded slightly.

This time, only "Cry" made the move, not only to test the rules on the tombstone, but also to get familiar with the old method of "Curse".

With a flash of thought, Pei Ling said: "Rule [-], it can indeed restore our cultivation strength."

"But the ones who are frightened this time are only mortals, and the number is too small."

"Our recovery is not much."

"Besides, only 'Ci' took the shot this time, but the five of us have all recovered some strength."

"Not surprisingly, before each of us reaches the peak, the cultivation realm of the five of us should be synchronized."

Chapter 1 and five: ghosts and gods.

Hearing this, the other four nodded their heads.

Li Lieyue interjected: "Junior Brother Pei, blood, fear, hatred, resentment... I only collected fear last night."

"If all four are combined, the effect will be better, and we will recover more strength."

Before the words fell, Yan Minghua immediately retorted: "It is enough to collect the fear of mortals! Wanton slaughter of innocent creatures, is it the kind of heart that my generation of monks should have? Fellow Daoist Pei has a kind heart, which is the heart of a child, which is different from you, a witch." !"

innocent?

Li Lieyue glanced at her calmly, and then said: "In this world, the weak prey on the strong."

"Even if they are used as training materials, they can only blame themselves for being too weak!"

"Just like you are now."

"You are weaker than Junior Brother Pei, so it is only right and proper to become Junior Brother Pei's furnace!"

Yan Minghua was slightly taken aback, and immediately said: "When I was practicing with Fellow Daoist Pei, my cultivation base was higher than that of Fellow Daoist Pei. It's not what you demon girl said."

"Could it be that the reason why you became Daoist Pei's companion is because of the strength of Fellow Daoist Pei?"

Li Lieyue snorted coldly, and replied coldly: "When Junior Brother Pei and I practiced together for the first time, I was cultivating alchemy, and Junior Brother Pei was just practicing Qi."

"When I say strong or weak, I don't just mean cultivation."

"Brother Pei dared to attack me at that time, he was already a strong man!"

At this time, seeing Senior Sister Li and Yan Minghua talking, the atmosphere was getting more and more uncomfortable, Pei Ling's scalp felt numb, and he hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted: "Wait! Listen to me first!"

While speaking, he had already intervened between the two of them and forcibly separated them.

Seeing Pei Ling speak, Li Lieyue and Yan Minghua temporarily stopped.

Pei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly: "Recovering your cultivation is not the most important thing for this good fortune."

"The key to winning or losing is to expand the territory."
