Chapter 10 There are fox ghosts who like to kill red clothes(1/2)
Wu Ling took a breath. This was the first time he had seen such a tall and burly man.
"Is this still an individual?"
Wu Ling subconsciously weighed his arm, and felt that the four or five of them combined were not as heavy as those who came to the road. Now Wu Ling only hoped that this person was not here to chase him, otherwise he really didn't know how to deal with such a big guy.
However, judging from the stance of people blocking the road, it seems unlikely.
A burly bald man nearly ten feet tall was holding a heavy cauldron blocking the road. It was impossible for him to come to ask for directions, right?
Wu Ling held the sword of the king and Hou in his hand tightly and was careful.
At this moment, a naked head popped out from the giant cauldron carried by the big man, blinked his big eyes and looked at Wuling, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally saw a figure!"
As he said that, he jumped out of it with a firm shape and landed lightly on the ground.
It's a little boy who looks seven or eight years old.
The child looks pretty good, with red lips and white teeth. Even if his face is dirty and haggard, he can't hide his delicacy that can be compared with the little girl.
"Little monk?"
Wu Ling couldn't help but be stunned, a little confused.
The child and the burly man were both bald, which made Wuling subconsciously think about the monk's side. However, the clothes the child wore were not common monk's clothes in the temple, but the brocade clothes on the fabric, which made it difficult to confirm.
However, there is one thing that Wuling can be sure of, that is, children’s kung fu should be very good.
Just now, the child jumped out of the giant cauldron and fell to the ground. His clothes were not messy at all, and he looked effortless. Wuling had seen many masters, but very few could do this kind of child.
"My name is Monday, I'm really embarrassed just now."
Zhou Yi bowed slightly to apologize to Wuling and the others, and then explained: "We were just lost and sleepy in the mountains for more than ten days, and were so hungry that we wanted to exchange for some food for you."
Zhou Yi looked back at the burly man behind him, afraid that Wuling and the others would be afraid, and added: "Don't worry, Tushan just looks tall, he is actually very kind, don't be afraid, he won't hurt people at will."
After talking a lot in one breath, Monday suddenly thought of something.
He rushed out a few pieces of silver from his purse and said, "I can exchange money for you."
Wu Ling frowned slightly, wondering, "Is it because he made a mistake? Didn't the two of them come after him?"
Monday's sincere attitude makes it difficult to think about him as a killer.
Furthermore, the dirty clothes on Zhou Monday and Tushan also proved that what he said just now was trapped in the mountains for a few days and did not lie.
While Wuling was suspicious, Zhou Gong's stomach started to rumble.
Wuling took off the bag hanging next to the door of the carriage and threw it over, "There are chopped green onion cakes inside. I'll give it to you. If you don't need money, just make friends."
He said that, but Wuling did not dare to be careless.
Some crazy forces like to use the fact that children can easily gain trust and then train them into killers.
Moreover, the children in front of them seem to be too mature than children of the same age.
This is very suspicious.
On Monday, I took the bag, opened it quickly, took a scallion cake and bit it in my mouth, and started eating it with big mouthfuls. While eating, I didn't forget to give some to Tushan.
In order to take a shortcut, Zhou Monday and Tushan were trapped in the mountains for more than ten days. They caught a lot of wild game in the mountains, but there was no fire break, and the two of them could not make fire by drilling wood, so they could only eat raw. Zhou Monday was spoiled and raised since childhood, and they could not eat anything less oil and salt, let alone eating raw.
I haven't eaten a few bites on Monday these days, but I vomited a lot.
Tu Shan waved his hand, put the big tripod on his shoulder on the ground with his back hand, took the onion cake, nodded slightly to Wuling and the others, and said, "Thank you!"
Only then did Monday realize that he had been rude, so he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, big brother!"
Wu Ling shook his head and said, "You have to be welcome."
The sniffing look of Zhou Monday had already made Wu Ling's doubts disappear, and he also breathed a sigh of relief. If he really wanted to face Tushan and eliminate the unknown Chen Dou, he and Xu Shan were afraid that they were not opponents at all.
Wuling's eyes were all on the tripod that Tushan had put down.
The tripod is a common copper-made three-legged tripod with a double-eared tripod. Its body is engraved with a kirin, which is black and bright. The three-legged and two-eared tripod are smooth and bright, and these places are obviously often touched.
The moment Tushan put down the tripod, the three legs of the tripod fell directly into a part of the ground, which seemed to be five or six hundred kilograms. It is hard to imagine that a person could carry such a heavy tripod, walk freely and run as usual.
If this tripod hits a person, one blow will be fatal.
Wuling asked, "Brother Zhou, where are you going? Do you need me to point you in the direction?"
While eating on Monday, he said vaguely: "We are going to Tianmu Mountain in the Yu Kingdom to attend the swordsman conference."
Speaking of this, Zhou Monday suddenly raised his head and asked, "By the way, big brother, I don't know your name yet!"
Wuling said, "My name is Wu Qilin."
Wuling did not say his real name, but used Wu Po Shuo and Wu Xiangyang to call his name and combined it with one.
Zhou Yi glanced at the sword box behind Wuling and said, "Did Brother Qilin also go to Tianmu Mountain to attend the sword competition?"
Wuling nodded, "I have this plan!"
Wuling was not surprised to ask this question on Monday.
Nowadays, almost everyone with a sword box around him is ready to go to Tianmu Mountain.
Zhou Monday said happily: "That's great, so I will not get lost after following you."
From the Great Zhou Dynasty to this point, even if you have a map on your body, you can't tell the difference between Mondays and Tushan, both east and north, and every few days. Along the way, the two of them have lost their way. It is even more common to have been wandering around and back to the place they have walked.
If no one leads the way, the next designation will go astray.
The day after tomorrow it will be the Chinese Valentine's Day. Tianmu Mountain is more than thirty days away from the fifteenth day of August. If you make a mistake, you will not be able to arrive at Tianmu Mountain as scheduled.
Wu Ling had no objection to this and nodded and said, "Then let's go together!"
Zhou Yi looked around, scratched his head naked, and asked, "Brother Qilin, where is this?"
Wuling said: "The Zhelong Road between Wucheng and Fufeng Town should be seventy or eighty miles away from Fufeng Town. If you walk faster, you should be able to arrive in front of the night."
"I'm going to Fufeng Town?"
Monday hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "Then I advise Brother Qilin, you should take a detour and bypass Fufeng Town, and not pass by Fufeng Town!"
Wu Ling was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It seems that Brother Qilin doesn't know what happened in Fufeng Town yet!" explained Monday: "In recent years, every year when the Chinese Valentine's Day approaches, strange things will happen in Fufeng Town!"
Wuling said curiously: "What strange thing?"
Zhou Monday said enthusiastically: "The groom who has been married around the Qixi Festival in Fufeng Town in recent years has all died on the night of the bridal chamber!"
Wu Ling was confused, "There is still this?"
Fufeng Town is less than two hundred miles away from Wucheng, but he has never heard of this.
Xu Shan said: "Young Master, this is indeed true. It is said that a fox demon fell in love with these grooms, and the marriage of these grooms angered the fox demon. So the fox demon killed these grooms when they entered the bridal chamber."
"But some people say that this is because there was a scholar in Fufeng Town who had been married at the church. When he was getting married, he suddenly ran away with a rich lady and took the bride. The bride couldn't figure it out and jumped into a well to commit suicide, becoming a female ghost. The female ghost wanted to find the scholar to take revenge, but she couldn't find the scholar and vented her anger with the newlyweds who were planning to get married."
Xu Shan has been traveling around the country for nearly ten years, and I have heard countless such stories.
At first I feel scared after hearing this, but as I walk longer and see more places, I no longer believe these.
Xu Shan felt that it was still the "seeing is true, and hearing is false" left by his ancestors. This is also the reason why Xu Shan has not been afraid even if he travels alone at night in recent years.
Fox demon? Female ghost?
The more I listened to Wuling, the more mysterious it felt.
Whether it is a fox demon or a female ghost, Wu Ling doesn't believe it very much. Nowadays, the stories of fox demon and scholar or female ghost and scholar in the world are all self-fantasies of scholars who want to make a living to solve their difficulties, and are purely fiction.
If there are really these things in reality, why are there only the novels related to them, but there are no historical materials that contain detailed records of their food, drink and living habits?
Even if there is, this matter doesn't seem to have much to do with him, right?
Wuling said in confusion: "I just passed by Fufeng Town, and I didn't go to the church to get married. Why do you say you should take a detour and not pass by Fufeng Town?"
On Monday, he pinched a corner of his clothes and signaled: "Because Brother Qilin, you are wearing red clothes."
Wu Ling smiled and said, "You want to say that because I wear red clothes, fox demon girl and ghost, will I treat me as the groom who wants to get married and then attack me?"
Zhou nodded and said, "Yes!"
Wu Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "These are mostly rumors that people with ulterior motives are bewitching people's hearts!"
Zhou Yi looked serious and said, "I think Brother Qilin, you should be cautious! Last year, someone didn't believe in evil like you. Before the Chinese Valentine's Day, he went to Fufeng Town with red clothes. Then his grave grass is probably taller than me now!"
"Besides, a few days ago, Zhao Jianyi, who was ranked sixth in the younger generation's sword list, also died when he entered the bridal chamber. It can be seen how strong the fox demon or female ghost is!"
Wu Ling's heart trembled, "Is Zhao Jian dead?"
His third brother Wu Nan has a hobby, which is to make friends and invite friends to the Wuwang Mansion to drink and discuss swordsmanship.
Wu Nan and Zhao Jianyi have a good relationship.
Because of this, Wuling met Zhao Jian several times in the Wuwang Mansion, and was a very elegant and polite person.
At a cocktail party held by Wu Nan, Zhao Jianyi pointed out the shortcomings of Wu Nan's basic sword moves and pointed out how to solve them. After Wu Nan listened, after trying it, the swordsmanship really took a step further.
After Wu Xuance learned about this, he highly praised Zhao Jianyi. At the same time, using Zhao Jianyi's sword moves to teach Wu Nan as the standard, he rewritten the basic sword moves that the children of the Wuwang Mansion practiced during elementary school.
Because of this, Wuling had a deep impression of Zhao Jianyi.
