Chapter 52 - Detour
The three men in black came behind the cloaked man, and the headed man in black took out a stack of star stones from his arms and said: “These are your deposits. According to the rules, if things go wrong, they will be refunded in double. Count it.”
“Hmph, double compensation? How can there be such a cheap thing?” The cloak man let out a sneer.
“You…what do you want? Isn’t it possible to have to accompany you three times? There are rules, you don’t have to keep an inch.”
The man in the cloak shrugged and smiled: “Don’t be excited, I didn’t say that I want you to pay for it. Keep the money, and I won’t want you to pay for it.”
The man in black didn’t understand what he wanted to do, so he couldn’t help but froze for a while: “Do you want me to help you rob people? Forget it, our strength is not enough at all, you should ask another clever.”
The cloak man turned around, shook his head and said, “I also know that you are not their opponents.”
“Then what do you mean?” The man in black frowned and asked.
“Hey hey, there is no other meaning, the money is just a small idea to send you to the road.”
The voice fell, and the sky was still clear just now, but suddenly the surrounding area suddenly became dark.
As far as he could see, only the darkness where he couldn’t see the five fingers, instantly made the three of them unable to see.
“No, big brother, go! Ah~” There were several screams, and several blood arrows spattered out of the darkness.
What followed was the sound of the body falling to the ground.
When the darkness faded and the light reappeared, the three men in black had already stepped to the ground. Except for the boss’s last breath and dying breath, the other two had only a deep mouth of blood on their necks, and they had obviously died.
“Why… why?” The only black-clothed man left his head widened and asked, panting.
“Hmph, I will leave you with a sigh of relief, just to let you know that if you betray your allies and bring harm to others, you should kill one; if you do something wrong, you should kill two. I thought I didn’t need me to do it, and the people of the Star Sect would do it too. Help me to get rid of all of you, but I didn’t expect to leave the three of you in the end.” The man in the cloak said as he walked towards the man in black.
“Betrayal of allies? I…I don’t know what you’re talking about…” The man in black couldn’t help being a little guilty when he was exposed to the past, and his eyes flickered.
“Oh? Don’t you know? It looks like I’m going to help you find a little memory.”
The man in the cloak said, he had walked in front of the man in the cloak, and saw that he slowly raised his hand and lifted the cloak hat that had been low on his head.
“Ah…you…you…you unexpectedly…” He suddenly remembered Li Qingniu’s phrase ‘there is a cause, there is an effect’.
Yes, if nothing happened six years ago, everything today might not have happened, and his brother would not die.
In order to make up for the fate of being slaughtered by the Heavenly Star Sect, the cloak found the eighteen thieves. All the fruits of today are the causes planted yesterday.
Thinking of this, he found that he couldn’t complain… and could not wait for…
The man in the cloak left, leaving only the black-clothed leader with his eyes wide open, looking forward with horror.
It’s just that at this time his eyes have become hollow and godless, a piece of ashes, and there is no more vitality around his body…
It was almost noon, shortly after Fenggu Zhengyun took the group of people to set off, he met Li Qingniu and Yu Hongfei who came to meet everyone.
After explaining the course of the matter, Fenggu Zhengyun nodded with satisfaction and said: “I didn’t worry about it. You could not help being a killer again. I didn’t expect that Junior Brother handled it so well. It seems that I was too worried.”
Fenggu Zhengyun said, he couldn’t help but smiled awkwardly, with a slight ashamed look on his face.
Li Qingniu said: “Senior brother has passed the award. I just don’t think there is a reason to kill them, but we have unexpectedly learned another thing, which is about the ambush of the Star Sect six years ago.”
After listening to Li Qingniu’s recount, Fenggu Zhengyun frowned and said: “Six years ago, I had not entered the Sky Star Sect, and I was not quite clear about what happened at the time. Like Hongfei, I only heard some rumors afterwards. Eighteen thieves turned out to be the planner of the incident, but Master must know more, and I will ask him for more details when I return.”
After a short pause, he said: “But now Wohugang is no longer able to go. If you make a detour, you will have to walk one more day to the nearest place. We must hurry up and rush to meet with other churches as soon as possible.”
“Ok.”
I haven’t seen Li Qingniu’s Murong Lanyu and Gu Ruoqing for most of the day. At this time, I saw Li Qingniu’s talk with Fenggu Zhengyun, so they came over to ask him about the long and short questions, and listened to him talk about the encounters and enemies he encountered during this trip.
In fact, for them, these are obviously not topics worthy of interest. What they care more about is that they can hear his voice more and stay by his side, so they can feel a sense of security.
On a high **** in the distance, a figure covered in a cloak stood in the wind, watching from a distance the figures of the people of the Sky Star Sect as they drift away, their sleeves swung wildly as if they were about to pounce on the hideous evil spirits in the world. Carnival before the dinner party.
“Sky Star Sect, the ghost brake is back, get ready to feel Death’s revenge, hahahahaha…”
At this time, in the Tianxing Sect, Yuntian mobilized blood in the courtyard on crutches in order to allow his body to recover earlier.
Unknowingly, he walked to the leafless flower tree and stopped, looked up at the white flowers growing on the trunk, frowned slightly, and stood silent for a long time.
At this time, a scene from ten years ago appeared in his mind. At that time, he was still young. If it were not for the unprecedented beast wave, he should have a warm family, a gentle mother, a loving father…
“Daddy…Where are you?”
“Qingdi, no!”
“There must be other ways.”
“It’s too late. Human beings live and die in one move. I only hope that you will help me take care of my family.”
The scene of incomparably chaos, the wailing of the sky, the mutilated corpses everywhere, the savage beasts raging everywhere, the warriors desperately fighting…
The sky is falling apart, and the storm is violently rolling, like a catastrophe in the last days, sweeping the earth.
Suddenly, a piece of green was held up between the heaven and the earth, vitality followed, and the world saw hope again…
“Father… I still don’t understand why, you can give up everything. Will I be able to understand your thoughts when I am as strong as you? But I know that no matter how much I practice, it will be impossible. To your degree, even with this leafless flower tree, I can always only look at your neck and always chase after you. If I want to get closer to your ideas, I can only make myself become Stronger, but I don’t know if I can keep my original heart. Father, what do you think I should do?”
Yuntian slowly raised his hand and gently stroked the trunk of the leafless flowering tree, feeling its full aura,
Li Qingniu, who was heading all the way to the destination, suddenly said to Gu Ruoqing: “Girl Ruoqing, why don’t you go back to the glacier first.”
Gu Ruoqing curled her lips and said, “Why? Do you think that I am here to delay your flirting with others?”
Li Qingniu shook his head and said, “Where did Miss Ruoqing go, but I faintly feel that the danger is not over. There may be more unexpected things happening ahead. I don’t have a trial mission, but you don’t have a trial task. You don’t have to talk to us at all. Take such a big risk.”
“I like to take risks, don’t forget, the time we met, I brought the caravan into the wilderness.” Gu Ruoqing snorted.
Li Qingniu frowned and said, “But this time, the situation was different. This time I went directly to the wild land, where the terrain is complex and the level of the wild beasts is high and difficult to deal with. Once a confrontation occurs, no one may be able to take out his hand to protect. You, and there is an invisible person behind us watching us. These may be variables, so I still hope you can go back first so that you can at least be safe.”
“Do you think it’s safe to let me go back now? If there is the person you said, he must be watching our movements. Following you, he dare not show up easily because of scruples. I’m still safe. If you leave you now and act alone, once he is stared at, you will be dead forever. When did Brother Qingniu become so cruel, he actually wanted to push others to die.” Gu Ruoqing said, her eyes were a little different. Hong, he looks like he really wants to cry.
Li Qingniu hurriedly said: “Don’t cry first, I just said this. Thank you for your reminder that it is indeed dangerous to let you leave by yourself and move by yourself. I was negligent and didn’t think about it.”
Seeing him let go, Gu Ruoqing didn’t need to pretend to be anymore, she couldn’t help but laughed out: “Now you know, don’t drive me away, and…you have to be responsible for protecting me.” Gu Ruoqing said, hugging Li Qingniu tightly. Arm.
Feeling the softness and warmth, Li Qingniu’s face turned red involuntarily, and he nodded, not daring to look at Gu Ruoqing and said, “Girl Ruoqing, please rest assured, I…I will definitely take care of you for Uncle Gu. “
In this way, the team seemed to be walking along peacefully, but in peace, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes swept past him from time to time with some envy and jealous eyes.
“Smelly boy, why do all the beautiful girls like you…”
“If only I could have a girl like this like this too.”
“Not afraid of danger, not afraid of life and death, this…this is true love, I really want to have it.”
“Why save him with good understanding, strong strength, and so many girls he likes… the sky is not fair.”
Similar thoughts passed through the hearts of the people one after another, and there would be jealousy, or envy, or dissatisfaction, or dissatisfaction, one after another without stopping.
Fortunately, there were no twists and turns on the road, and everyone walked silently and unimpeded all the way.
In such a mysterious silence, the team’s marching speed unexpectedly was two or three hours faster than previously predicted.
When it was getting late, everyone had once again come to the junction of the human world and the wilderness.
