Huangquan Roadside Inn

The breeze, the bright moon, the sound of insects, and the sound of frogs are the memories of summer when I was young.

In the dark night, Baixi looked up and saw the bright moon and no stars, and the memories of his childhood were in his ears. In the thatched hut by the pond, it was his father who had a cough and the lights were turned on. It was he who was busy waiting.

Baixi often has such a dream, dreaming that when he was a teenager again, he watched the hut catch fire, and the flames mercilessly devoured everything it saw.

His father was panting in pain in the hut, but he left unscathed in the raging fire. When he found his father's charred body, there was darkness in front of him. He could only remember the body temperature, and his palms in front of his eyes. temperature.

Baixi woke up from his dream, beads of sweat covered his forehead, the brightness in front of his eyes was clear, and the mottled sunlight shone through the leaves. He sighed, and when he was about to get up, he found that he was covered with Lu Yao's clothes.

He picked up Lu Yao's clothes and got up, looked around, but he couldn't see Lu Yao, let alone Li Boyang and Xu Yuheng.

"Could they be going to Ruoshui Town?" Bai Xi crossed his hips and his face sank slightly. He was about to explode when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. He immediately turned around and saw Li Boyang Holding the green fruit in both hands, Xu Yuheng beside him was eating happily.

Face to face with Bai Xi, Xu Yuheng's expression froze, and he squeezed the green fruit in his hand with some embarrassment, and then swallowed it in his mouth.

"Baixi, you woke up. You rested all night. Yuheng said he was a little hungry, so he found some wild fruits. Master Baixi should also taste it. It's very sweet." Li Boyang held the fruit in both hands and handed it to Baixi. in front of the creek.

And Bai Xi just smiled and shook his head: "You are human, and you need to eat to replenish your strength. We eat for entertainment, and we don't have to eat. You, you should keep green fruits to feed the people around you." A little squirrel, where is Lu Yao?"

"Master Lu Yao went to explore the way ahead." Li Boyang said seriously.

Bai Xi nodded in response, then hugged Lu Yao's clothes and walked towards the direction Li Boyang pointed.

But looking at Bai Xi's back, Xu Yuheng looked at Li Boyang with some puzzlement, blinked his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "What did Lord Bai Xi say just now? Little squirrel, are you talking about me?"

Li Boyang looked sideways at the ignorant young man in front of him, and nodded with a suppressed smile: "Indeed...it does look like a squirrel."

Xu Yuheng gave Li Boyang a slightly unhappy look, and stuffed the green fruit into his mouth again, biting it like a squirrel, watching Li Boyang also raise the corners of his lips, very happy.

Bai Xi stood at the intersection with his hands on his hips, Lu Yao's clothes were hanging on his arms, and when he saw him coming back, he couldn't help shouting: "How is it, how long is it from Ruoshui Town, how long will it be with Li Boyang and the others?" Able to."

"There is still about half a day's journey." Lu Yao approached and said, seeing Bai Xi hanging his hand on his arm, he didn't look at Bai Xi's expression, just walked back.

Bai Xi threw his clothes over and happened to cover his head, Bai Xi blocked Lu Yao's way, approached and said: "I am your senior after all, can you stop making a bad face towards me, you You thought I was willing to come with you, because the higher-ups told me to follow you for fear of accidents, my mana is higher than yours, so I can't hold you back."

Lu Yao took off the clothes on his head, Bai Xi's face was close at hand, but the distance of a finger was really close, Lu Yao who was close could see his eyelashes and his own appearance in his brown pupils.

Lu Yao's heartbeat was inexplicably faster, he took a step back, swallowed his saliva and said, "I...I don't like to laugh very much."

Bai Xi saw that the area under Lu Yao's eyes was gradually turning red, and he couldn't help stretching out his hands to open the corners of his mouth: "You have to laugh if you don't like to smile, remember, I am a senior, and my skills are better than yours. Following you is to protect you, understand."

Lu Yao's eyes flickered a little, and he took a look at Bai Xi, his straight nose, beautiful eyes, and the imprint between his brows were deeply engraved in Lu Yao's heart, and he nodded like a ghost.

Afterwards, he saw Bai Xi turning around with a contented expression on his face, and walking back, leaving Lu Yao standing alone, even his breathing was not smooth.

At noon, I finally arrived at Ruoshui Town, but the closer I got to Ruoshui Town, the dark clouds overwhelmed the top, and even the bloody smell in the air became more and more intense, and even the wind blowing head-on was mixed with a bit of decay. musty.

After escaping the city gate, the entire Ruoshui Town is like an empty city. It should have been a bustling market, but now there are only small stalls still selling goods. The steamed buns are now moldy and rotten.

Weeds burst out of the cracks in the steps, but they withered as soon as half of their body emerged.

The four people headed by Baixi stood on the excuse, looking at the desolate and uninhabited Ruoshui Town, smelling the bloody smell faintly in the air, it was unavoidably disgusting.

"Ah!" Xu Yuheng screamed, and Li Boyang stepped forward vigilantly to protect him behind him.

Bai Xi and Lu Yao looked back at him, only to see that his face was pale, and he raised his finger tremblingly to point to a shop: "I... I seem to see bones."

Bai Xi frowned slightly, and only told Li Boyang to take good care of him, then stepped into the shop that Xu Yuheng pointed out.

In the tailor's shop, there were a few dead bones lying here and there, and they seemed to be holding ready-made clothes in their hands, but they were killed before they could try them on.

"So many people can be killed overnight." Lu Yao, who followed him, couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw this.

Bai Xi's expression didn't change, but he just clenched his fists and said cautiously: "So it's Shura, who can kill all the people in the town overnight and take away everyone's souls, this person is not easy ,You have to be careful."

"I know." Lu Yao listened to Bai Xi's order, and responded seriously, but just as he finished speaking, Li Boyang's exclamation came from outside.

Bai Xi and Lu Yao looked at each other, then turned around and quickly walked out of the shop, only to find that Li Boyang was holding a long sword, looking at the two Xu Yuheng in front of him in surprise.

"How could this be?" Bai Xi also exclaimed.

The two Xu Yuheng in front of me were carved out of the same mold, apart from their looks, even their expressions at this moment were exactly the same.

"Master Baixi, after you entered the shop, I protected Xiao Qi, but after I heard his exclamation, I saw that there was an extra Xiao Qi. I, I don't know why this happened." Li Boyang His expression was anxious, and even the hand holding the sword was shaking constantly.

Xu Yuheng faced the person in front of him who was exactly the same as himself, and saw how anxious his senior brother was, so he slowly calmed down, looked at Bai Xi and said, "Master Bai Xi."

Unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth, another self followed suit, with the same tone and tone, and even the words he wanted to say were exactly the same.

"Brother, I'm not afraid." Xu Yuheng spoke again, and the other himself followed suit.

Li Boyang looked anxiously at Baixi next to him: "Master Baixi, what should we do?"

"Don't panic." Although Bai Xi's face was dignified, he was still a little calm. He looked up at the sky in front of him, then took out the Qingxin Pearl and handed it to Xu Yuheng: "Yuheng, put your hand Come up."

Although Xu Yuheng didn't understand the significance of Baixi's move, he still put his hand on the Qingxin Pearl without any scruples, while the other Xu Yuheng took this opportunity to pull the one in front of Baixi.

However, when he was about to hold Xu Yuheng hostage and turn around to leave, he didn't know that Lu Yao was standing behind him with a knife raised. The moment he turned around, he swung the knife and came. Immediately, the fake Xu Yuheng disappeared into thin air and disappeared without a trace. without a trace.

"Little Qi." Seeing that Xu Yuheng was unharmed, Li Boyang rushed forward and squeezed his wrist tightly, his nervous expression relaxed at this moment.

"I told you, brother, don't be afraid, Master Baixi is here." Xu Yuheng raised his smiling face, stretched out his hand to rub Li Boyang's cheek, and thanked Baixi by the way.

"Remember what I said? If you are in danger, you should leave quickly. We have no time to save you. Once we entered Ruoshui Town, we stepped into Shura's territory. How many little ghosts would come to prevent us from finding Shura's lair? I don't know, we don't know what we will meet, your cultivation base is too shallow, leave quickly." Seeing the senior brother in front of him, Bai Xi hurriedly ordered.

Li Boyang and Xu Yuheng thought about it carefully, and looked at each other again, thinking that Bai Xi's words were indeed reasonable. When an identical Xu Yuheng appeared just now, Li Boyang was already in a mess, and they didn't know what they would encounter next. Know.

They are different from Bai Xi, although they have cultivation, they are human after all, but Bai Xi and the others are not, so the only way to avoid trouble for them is to leave.

"In that case, let's take our leave, and please take care of yourself, both adults." Li Boyang and Xu Yuheng immediately clasped their fists together and said.

Bai Xi nodded and nodded, the two young men in front of him turned and walked towards the gate of the city, until they were no longer seen after leaving the gate, Bai Xi turned to look at Lu Yao beside him:

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Lu Yao's expression was still stern, with the same defiant expression, but Bai Xi couldn't hate it.

"Okay then, let's go to Shura's lair and take away the souls he's imprisoned." Bai Xi said seriously, then turned around with Lu Yao and continued walking towards the city.

He just took two steps and then stopped, looking at Li Boyang and Xu Yuheng who were walking towards him in surprise.

"Lord Baixi?" Xu Yuheng exclaimed, then grabbed Li Boyang's hand and ran towards them.

"I didn't let you go, why did you appear in front?" Bai Xi was surprised, and even Lu Yao looked ignorant.

"We did go out of the city gate, but we came back again for some reason." Li Boyang was also surprised, and tightened his grip on Xu Yuheng's hand, as if he was afraid that something would happen to him again.
