She Is Not a Witch

Vol 4 Chapter 36: Return to Lu

After leaving Shui Zhuzhou, Lorraine Hill continued to go north, and the barren grassland along the way was gradually covered with green grass. After turning over a hill, it suddenly opened up, and a large green and yellow forest appeared between the hillside and the canyon.

Now it is the end of April, which is the season for young leaves to germinate, but Huiluzhou is different. Most of the trees here have natural yellow leaves, which can be subdivided into bright yellow, light yellow, gardenia yellow, and yellow yellow, etc., with different layers. The yellow leaves grow gorgeously, giving people a different kind of vitality.

"Jiujiu~" In the sky, the fluffy-feathered Daiju slowly descended. Looking at this scene, it seemed to recall the old days when it was still very small.

"I'm back." Lorraine Hill whispered, then jumped up and flew towards this world along the wind in the mountains.

Go back to Luzhou, outside Gujia City. This is a big city in the south of Huiluzhou. Because it is close to the Xiangye River, adjacent to Shuizhuzhou and Shenmuzhou, the business is prosperous, and there are always many people coming and going.

On the road far outside the city, three carriages were driving fast. The wheels turned at a high speed and were lifted up by the stones on the side of the road from time to time, causing violent bumps. But even so, the three carriages still did not slow down, only because of the constant chasing behind. fierce jackal.

About a dozen or so brown jackals galloped on the ground, screaming continuously, the sharp sound was like fine teeth rubbing against each other, which made people panic.

Although the situation is critical, fortunately these three carriages are also extraordinary. The carts are not pulled by ordinary horses, but mechanical horses made of wood. Driven by internal gears and wooden poles, although the four hooves are stiff, they are strong and Powerful, stepping down on the ground continuously, then jumping up, driving the carriage forward at high speed.

Among the nine branches of the world, the Jietian branch is the most proficient in this kind of puppetry. Its founder, Yu Yi, has left many manuscripts, which are practiced step by step by later generations of disciples and turned into reality.

The Scorching Sun Xiangyu School is the descendant of Huangfeng, and Huilu Island where it is located is also full of trees, so this kind of puppet mechanism is also very common. It is said that many disciples of Xiangyu School were also invited to assist in the development and design of the floating boat of Yanxingmen. , but that was also hundreds of years ago, and now it has been slowly forgotten by people.

In the bumpy carriage, someone kept poking his head out to observe the situation behind, and then reported to the driver in front and the people in the carriage.

"Madam, those jackals are still following." There was some anxiety in his voice.

"How far is it to Gujia City?" In the carriage, a woman in her fifties hugged her child tightly and asked with a frown.

"About seven or eight miles."

"Come on, come on, just keep at it. When we get to Gujia City, there should be monks who wipe out monsters. Then we will be safe." She comforted herself and cheered up the other people in the same car.

Their family was originally a businessman in Shen Muzhou, and they have accumulated some money these years. Unexpectedly, in recent years, monsters and beasts have appeared in various states, natural disasters and natural disasters have continued, and accidents have happened to the caravan at home. She died, but fortunately her grandson survived, and now she rarely relies on her.

"There is no peace anywhere in this world." In the bumpy carriage, she hugged her frightened seven-year-old grandson tightly in her arms, subconsciously muttering.

Compared with other counties, although there are occasional monsters in Huiluzhou, there are no major disasters. In the hinterland, some members of the Xiangyu sect outside the sect clean up the monsters. It is very stable. In the town, there are monsters from other states and counties who often come across the border, so it is not safe.

The time passed by tensely and restlessly, and the dozen or so jackals gradually became manic during the chase, some bared their teeth, and then let out a long howl, and a strong yellowish wind spurted from their mouths, shooting towards the carriage in front.

Some of these attacks similar to compressed wind blades missed, and some hit the carriage board, knocking the carriage flying a little, and almost flew up during the bumps. When I stood up.

However, with the long-term high-speed and bumpy running, the Trojan horse pulling the cart in front began to have some problems, some noises began to appear in the body with complex mechanisms, and the originally coordinated limbs also began to appear inconsistent, which made people feel flustered perturbed.

Just when the few people in the carriage were getting desperate and restless, a sharp cracking sound sounded beside the road.

"Explosion!" A thick voice roared, and continuous explosions sounded from behind the carriage, followed by bursts of howling and hissing.

At this time, several people in the carriage noticed a dozen or so "fire-breathing masters" in red and yellow clothes standing by the roadside.

These fire-breathing masters are hung with various packages, and there is a row of things like bamboo tube medicine boxes tied around their waists. They hold long sticks or swords in their hands, and they are full of the smell of fire. As they roar, one by one The bamboo pipe was thrown from his hand, and then exploded in the air, screaming and fleeing the chasing jackals, leaving behind several corpses.

Seeing the monster recede, the carriage finally stopped gradually, and several people in the carriage got off to thank.

"Thank you for your help, it really saves people from fire and water." One of the attendants took out a small bag of gold dishes under the direction of his wife, and handed them to the fire-breathing masters.

"It's okay, it's okay." Although these fire-breathing masters shook their heads and said that it was just a trivial matter, they still took the money.

"I'm waiting to patrol outside the city to prevent these monsters from harming people." The leader, a fire-breathing master with a mustache, replied.

"There may be danger on the road now, if you don't wait here for a while, rest for a while, and then follow me into the city."

"You're right. I'd better take a break now." Several people thought that the wooden horse of the carriage really needed to be overhauled and maintained before it could go on the road.

Afterwards, the three carriages stopped by the side of the road, and a coachman who knew a little trick opened one of the wooden horses to start overhauling, and the others talked with the fire-breathing masters guarding the roadside under the tree.

"Is it safe to return to Luzhou now?" A middle-aged man asked, he is the younger brother of his wife, and he is also in his early fifties.

"It's pretty safe, but recently a lot of monsters have migrated from other states and counties, and there are occasional fish that slip through the net." A fire-breathing master said, sitting on a stone under a tree to repair the long copper stick in his hand.

Rather than saying that it is a stick, it is better to say that it is a thinner long tube, which can be filled with flint and firecrackers, and can be launched at critical moments to injure monsters and beasts.

The body of the stick has some lines drawn, although it is a bit shiny, it has a simple beauty, and it seems that it has been used for many years.

"The immortals of the Xiangyu sect, have they opened the mountain gate now?" In fact, how many people are more concerned about this. It coincides with the troubled times, and many people flee to Zhoujun, which is protected by the Shangmen sect.

"It's not something we can spy on Xiang Yu's visit, but it's true that there has been a change now." Several people on the side also nodded immediately after speaking.

"I heard that the mountain gate station was shining brightly the month before, and there is a faint meaning of opening it."

"I heard that His Majesty King Dai personally sent his confidants to pay homage to the mountain."

"His Majesty King Dai?"

"Yes, His Majesty King Dai is currently commanding the coalition forces of various states to go north, and is fighting the hypocrite at Tianfengguan. Now there is a stalemate, so he specially came to ask Xiangyu to send the immortals to come out of the mountain."

"A total of eight families from the Southwestern Continents came to visit. Among them, I saw that Youcheng was located in the profound abyss and could not be touched lightly. The tiger roared and the Nine Barren Mountains were extremely remote. Three of the remaining six families had already taken refuge in King Dai, and only the Scorching Sun and Feather Sect remained. Valley, and the Condensed Zizhao Night Palace."

"Wanziqianhonggu remained neutral before, but now it seems that there is a faint intention to take refuge in it. Now as long as the Burning Sun Xiangyu faction is persuaded, the Ningzizhaoye Palace, as a branch of the Xiangyu faction, can be easily subdued."

"I don't like King Nadai after all, but the meaning of coming to the door is unpredictable. If the Xiangyu faction makes up its mind, we and other Huilu factions will also vote for His Majesty King Nadai." Some people shook their heads slightly.

In Huiluzhou, apart from the Scorching Sun and Feather Sect, there are other big factions and some superhumans from the lower level, such as fire-breathing masters like them. Once they come to make a decision, these small factions are also destined to follow.

"Speak carefully, speak carefully." Someone reminded that after all, King Dai might rule the world in the future, so it's better not to talk nonsense.

"Heh, let me tell you what's wrong. The floods in Changzhou are endless. In the past two months, you and I have seen so many people fleeing from their homes. Not only did King Dai not send people to suppress them, but he also ordered everyone to come to the door not to lose manpower. , we should try our best to send disciples to assist him to go north and conquer Luojing."

"This way of acting is really not like a gentleman!"

"Don't say a few words. I was terrified when I heard it. Now that King Huainan has been defeated by the army of the Beifu, and the new king is weak, King Dai is the most likely." Several people talked until the sky was getting dark, and then they were ready. return trip.

"I kept Madam waiting for a long time, we will start our return journey now."

"Shortly soon." As the three carriages restarted, these fire-breathing masters also boarded the carriages and accompanied them back.

At first, everyone thought that there was nothing wrong with the journey and arrived smoothly, but they didn't expect that after the carriage took a few steps, there were a few owls in the dark forest.

A big bird like a withered leaf flew out of the forest and pounced on the three carriages, but there was no sound during the flight. If it wasn't for the sky not being completely dark at this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to spot their figures.

"Let go!" Another burst of explosions and flames resounded in the forest and on the road. Three withered leaf owls were shaken to the ground, while the others passed through the carriage and went straight to the members inside. One who had no time to react The teacher was directly scratched, fell to the ground and died.

There were screams and exclamations, and these fire-breathing masters ignited the blazing fire, which illuminated the few withered leaf owls flying around in disgust, and only then bought some time.

Different from other monsters, these withered leaf owls are rare monsters of the Nine Serenities lineage. They are good at transforming into ghosts and flying. They often haunt the night. They like to eat lonely souls and wild ghosts. They also hunt and kill some intelligent and spiritual creatures. Compared with animals, the body is much more spiritual, and it is more in line with the delicious characteristics of their mouths.

"The bright flames are burning, and the peaches ward off evil spirits!" Facing these withered leaf owls that appear and disappear from time to time in the dusk, the two third-tier fire-breathing masters present drew out their spare mahogany blood swords, lit a spell, and its purple-blue The flame attached to the mahogany sword, making these withered leaf owls scream and fear.

Compared with ordinary magic weapons, such a mahogany sword has obvious damage to the soul body, and can also burn the flying withered leaf owl, so it is afraid of it.

The carriage stopped at the same spot, and the remaining ten or so fire-breathing masters formed a circle, while the two surrounding fire-breathing masters with mahogany swords chased and killed the withered leaf owl flying in the forest.

It's a pity that although the burning mahogany blood swords are feared by monsters, they can fly after all, and the third-level fire-breathing masters are not sharp, so they can't chase them all the time, and then they have to go back to the carriage.

"No, it's not an option to go on like this, let's go!"

"Drive~" The driver pulled the mechanism of the wooden horse, and it began to run fast again, and the fire-breathing masters present also got on the car one after another.

"Hey—" seven or eight withered leaf owls let out a sharp cry, then flapped their wings, and chased after the three carriages again. Not without resistance, they continued to fight back with spells and firecrackers, so that these withered leaf owls did not dare to get too close.

Gradually, the outline of the city could be seen in the distance, and everyone felt a little relieved.

However, things did not go so smoothly. The Trojan horse, which had been malfunctioning before, made a rattling noise again during this rapid driving, and then fell out of the gears and wooden pegs inside with a bump, and fell to the ground.

Two of the three carriages continued to move forward, while the remaining one could only be broken and overturned by the side of the road. The four fire-breathing masters riding on it tried their best to resist again at this moment, but without the help of their companions, they were already in a difficult situation.

"Hold on, let's go to the city to call for rescue—" a companion shouted from afar.

"Fuck! This old stigma, this time it runs fast." The few people present were angry but helpless, they could only take out all kinds of magical weapons and firecrackers on their bodies, and kept bombing to resist the attack of the withered leaf owl. The original few hugged each other tightly, anxiously waiting for everything outside to end.

"Zhi—" Withered Leaf Owl rose high in the forest, then swooped down, turning into a comet with a long look, with a ghostly and ominous meaning.

Crackling explosion flames bloomed in the air, but such an attack did little damage to Huayou's flying withered leaf owl. One of them went through the smoke and flames and directly grabbed a flame-breathing master, bringing a large amount of blood on his shoulders. Clothes were also torn.

"Hiss—" The severe pain made the flame-breathing master unable to open his eyes. After evading this attack, he rolled on the ground and fell under the carriage, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, he only heard a burst of exclamation from outside, and then suddenly there was no sound again. His heart was shocked. Could it be that they are all dead.

In a panic, the fire-breather climbed out of the car, and then saw a scene of surprise. A black-haired and blue-haired girl stepped on the sky, her figure flew towards her rapidly, and the wooden sword in her hand looked like a ghost, and she slashed instantly. Almost at the same time, withered leaf owls fell from the sky and stopped screaming.

When it landed on the ground, the satin-like blue silk slowly fell on the snow-white neck and collar, giving people a dreamy and hazy beauty.

In the orange firelight, the girl turned around, looked at the people present, and then spoke, a voice like the quiet moonlight resounded in the forest.

"Are you all right?" After a while, everyone came to their senses and answered quickly

"it's okay no problem."

"That's good." Lorraine Hill breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the overturned carriage and the crowd, and looked towards the end of the road.

"Is Gu Mo City ahead?"

"Yes, if you don't, I'll wait ~www.readwn.com~ to guide the benefactor into the city." Several people said tentatively.

"Well, that's it." The girl tilted her head slightly, and then agreed. Then she beckoned, and a bird with flapping wings fell from the sky.

"Dai Ju, help straighten the carriage."

"Jiujiu~" The chubby chicken-like bird seemed a little reluctant, but it still flew over, grabbed the side of the carriage, flapped its wings, and pulled it upright.

In the following road, because the wooden horse was damaged, the few people walked slowly without hurrying. In the night illuminated by the torches, at the request of Lorraine Hill, they told the girl about the changes in returning to Luzhou in these years, and The most important of these was the time five years ago—"When Xiang Yu came to the door that year, it was said that the chief of the Qianlong lineage had a quarrel with the head, and then left angrily, taking away one-third of the disciples in the door, and then Xiang Yu came to the door The mountain was closed to self-isolation, and no disciples went out of the mountain to walk anymore.

’ Lorraine Hill listened quietly to their narration, and recalled the familiar figures he had known in the past in his mind, and finally froze behind that heroic figure.

Did Senior Brother Gu Lie and Senior Sister Jinhua quarrel, alas...
