Chapter 98 Miracles
At the foot of Xiguguan Mountain, a small town inn.
At this time, the atmosphere at Liang Sheng's table was a bit awkward, because the food ordered by the caravan hadn't been served yet, but they had traveled for another day, and they were already hungry and thirsty. A confidant guard looked at the food in front of him and couldn't help but swallow it. Swallow.
Liang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "Since you said that you are willing to help me pay for the wine, brother, if you don't mind that I have already eaten, then let's eat together."
As he spoke, Liang Sheng directly picked up the jug and filled the glass with wine in front of several people. The owner of the caravan didn't hesitate to see this, and immediately expressed his thanks, and then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
happy.
is also a free and easy person.
Since the owner of the caravan had already had a drink first, the two guards were no longer polite. As long as the men drank the wine, the atmosphere would immediately become heated. At this time, the owner of the caravan also had a conversation.
The owner of the caravan was polite at first, but they kept chatting for some reason, and the confidant guard didn't think there was anything wrong at the moment.
He is the eldest son of a big family in the southwest. His surname is Chu Mingchen. This time he was transporting bulk goods to the north. Today, he arrived at the small town of Xiguguan. .
But when Chu Chen talked about his identity as the eldest son, there was a trace of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, and the wine in the glass felt a little bitter.
Then the food ordered by the caravan began to come out, and was brought up by the inn staff one after another. Liang Sheng and Chu Chen's master and servant continued to eat and drink together. Tell the details of your own family.
When he was full of wine and food, Liang Sheng stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Listening to Brother Chu's words is very rewarding. Since we are so close, and Brother Chu is going to help me pay for the meal, then I have to say something."
As he said that, he took out a delicate talisman from his cuff, and handed it to Chu Chen, "This is the amulet I asked for from the eminent monk. I heard that it has been consecrated, and it can calm the mind. Sleep well, but it is useful."
Chu Chen was about to decline, after all, it was just a meal, but Liang Sheng had already patted the talisman into Chu Chen's hand, and the other party really didn't pay, and then asked the innkeeper for a room and went upstairs to rest .
Before going upstairs, Liang Sheng smiled and said to Chu Chen, "Brother Chu, my talisman is really very useful, and you will be able to sleep peacefully tonight."
Seeing this, Chu Chen accepted it, glanced at the talisman paper in his hand, but found nothing special, so he stuffed it directly into his cuff, not paying too much attention to it, and then readily helped Liang Sheng pay for the food and drinks.
At this time, when he sat down again, he realized that something was wrong. He actually said so much to a stranger, which was not like his original character.
Could it be that you have been under too much pressure recently? Want to talk to a stranger to relieve the pressure that is accumulated in your heart at this time?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile wryly, the eldest son of the Southwest family, heh.
Liang Sheng had returned to the inn room at this time, but he was full of sighs. He didn't expect there to be such a similar person in this world. Is there really reincarnation? Or are they just similar flowers in the world?
Liang Sheng didn't have an answer at the moment, but his memory began to surge, and then a name emerged in his heart——
Zhang Rongjun...
This name is really too old, this Chu Chen is almost exactly the same as the young Zhang Rongjun, even the habit of holding his little finger and holding the chopsticks when eating is exactly the same.
That's why he was stunned when he saw the other party before. Originally, he was planning to leave Xiguguan today. Although the heavy rain is approaching, how can he get close to him?
But because Chu Chen's appearance touched his heart, he planned to stay for one night. Although things are different, maybe they are just like a flower, but it can be regarded as "meeting old friends".
Besides, the other party talked so much under his own mental guidance, and he seemed to be in some trouble. Since he encountered it, he could solve the cause and effect casually.
After all, I don’t have many friends, Zhang Rongjun is one...
On the other side, Chu Chen was also puzzled at the moment. The other party was young and had no luggage. At first he thought the other party was a guest who had already stayed at the inn.
But the other party asked the shopkeeper for a room after dinner, which is a bit unreasonable. If you are away from home, if you are on a long journey, how can you have no luggage?
But if it’s not a long journey, why not go home and stay in a hotel?
This town is not big, and Chu Chen's caravan has a lot of people to eat and drink, which is not a small fortune for the innkeeper. Since they came in, the innkeeper's smile has not stopped.
So with Chu Chen's ability to travel all over the world for many years, and the shopkeeper wanted to please this big customer, it was easy for him to make a fool of himself.
The shopkeeper is actually not familiar with Brother Liang who is sharing the table at all, and he only arrived today. From this point of view, I am afraid that the other party may also have some problems.
Although the other party seemed to have no problems during the meal and dealings just now, but this time the goods were a bit special, so Chu Chen still had to be careful.
"Let the brothers be more vigilant at night. I have some bad premonitions. I am afraid that something will happen at night. As long as I arrive in Kyoto safely this time, I will not treat my brothers badly."
"Yes, master."
Then, Chu Chen returned to his room, looked at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
I'm afraid it will be a heavy rain tonight.
night.
Liang Sheng didn't sleep at the moment, it was already pouring rain outside, and he stood quietly looking out the window at the vast night, listening to the sound of crackling rain hitting the roof, but the rain seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, unable to enter at all room.
In the courtyard of the inn, the guards of the Chuchen caravan patrolled outside the inn to prevent problems with the carriage goods that had been wrapped in oilcloth.
Right at this moment, there was a loud thunder, and the sky and the earth instantly became brighter.
Liang Sheng's eyes seemed to have penetrated the vast night, looking at the group of people in coir raincoats sprinting in the distance.
Their purpose was very clear, they came straight to the inn in the small town, and in the caravan, the guards were still patrolling in rotation, not daring to be careless at all, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
The torrential rain has arrived, it should be the night of killing.
…
Chu Chen was in his sleep. He didn't know what kind of nightmare he had. He suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath.
After waking up, he thought of the talisman paper given by Liang Sheng again, and thought of what the other party said, he couldn't help shaking his head.
How can I sleep peacefully tonight?
He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and at the moment he was not sleepy, so he got up and touched the oil lamp, and after lighting it, he carried the oil lamp and walked out.
The confidant guards who were already guarding the door immediately became vigilant, and when they saw the young master coming out, they were relieved, but also a little confused.
"Go, go out with me to have a look."
"Yes, master."
The caravan guards in the yard were not lazy, but took turns to rest. At this moment, the patrolling guards saw someone approaching, and immediately became alert and raised their long knives.
"who?"
When they saw that it was Chu Chen and the three of them, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted.
"Master."
"Are you okay?"
"No problem, the goods have been tightly wrapped in tarpaulins, and there is no movement tonight, so there should be no surprises."
"That's good."
Chu Chen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard this. Unless he died, there would be no problems with the goods. This was a gift he was going to give to an important person in Kyoto, and there could be no mistakes.
At this moment, there was another thunderclap, and then it burst out like silver light. Chu Chen had already turned around to go back to the house, but at this moment, he saw a black shadow out of the corner of his eye.
In an instant, Chu Chen came to his senses, and holding the oil lamp, he turned to the corner where the shadow appeared just now, wanting to see what happened.
"Young master, don't move, Xiao Li, go over and have a look first, be careful."
The confidant guards stopped Chu Chen, and in a blink of an eye he ordered the guards who were patrolling just now to go over and have a look. Xiao Li immediately walked there after hearing this.
Just as he walked to the corner, a silver light rose straight up. The guard didn't react at all, and the body was separated directly, and the blood from the head fell to the ground along the rain.
What a fast knife!
"Enemy attack!"
Chu Chen's confidant guards immediately sounded a frenzied warning, and the caravan guards on patrol instantly became a mess.
In the inn, the shopkeeper and the staff were also hiding in the backyard and shivering, and the guard's voice just now woke them up.
But they dare not come out now, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see and causing big trouble.
At this time, the joy of meeting a big customer during the day has disappeared, and the innkeeper only prays for the blessing of the gods, so that he must not encounter major troubles.
The conversation turned to Chu Chen's side, and following their warning, the people hiding in the darkness simply stopped hiding and walked out directly.
They were all dressed in coir raincoats and their faces were covered with black scarves, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, but Chu Chen couldn't help but smile wryly at the corner of his mouth.
"Guard Gao, I didn't expect you to come too."
The body of the person in the lead on the opposite side straightened suddenly, and then softened. He didn't even want to hide his identity anymore, and directly pulled off his veil.
"Young master, I'm just following orders, don't blame me."
"Hehe, I don't blame you, you are the guard of my Chu family who assassinated me, I don't want to blame you hahahaha!"
At this moment, Chu Chen suddenly bent over laughing, laughing and crying, and then the laughter stopped suddenly.
"Are you the guard of my Chu family, or that bitch's lackey!?"
Guard Gao could only remain silent when he heard the words, but he raised the knife in his hand, and then rushed towards Chu Chen suddenly.
The others behind him immediately seemed to wind up the machine, and rushed directly to Chu Chen's guards, full of murderous intent.
The next moment, Gao Weiwei's knife slashed straight at Chu Chen, but was blocked by Chu Chen's guard, but Gao Weiwei smiled ferociously when he saw this.
Chu Chen's confidant guard instantly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't react at all, and then an unrivaled force hit every part of his body instantly along the long knife.
Then he flew upside down, and before his consciousness fell into darkness, he only had time to yell out a sentence: "The eighth layer of the day after tomorrow! When did you break through!?"
Chu Chen's body turned cold when he heard the words, and the high guard actually broke through the acquired eightfold? Guard Gao didn't look at the guard who was knocked into the air by him at this time, but looked at Chu Chen and said softly:
"Young master, don't blame me. Madam asked me to break through the eighth layer of Houtian. I have to obey her orders. Don't worry, young master. My knife is very fast, and you won't feel pain."
The next moment, he saw the light of the knife bursting out like silver light. He was indeed not lying, the knife was very fast, but Chu Chen dodged the knife with a movement of his body.
Um?
Guard Gao couldn't help but be a little unbelievable when he saw this. At this time, he paid attention to Chu Chen. After a lot of surprise, Chu Chen said in surprise: "The seventh day after tomorrow!? Master, you hide so deep!"
But Chu Chen smiled wryly, even though he was so clumsy, he still couldn't escape the woman's pursuit, what could he do?
Immediately afterwards, he saw that the guard Gao didn't hold back any longer. This time, Chu Chen couldn't dodge at all, so he subconsciously closed his eyes and waited for death.
I still can't escape after all!
Immediately afterwards, the long knife exploded, and Gao Wei's whole body shook violently. He couldn't help but fly backwards and fell to the ground.
How can this be?
Chu Chen didn't experience the pain he expected, so he opened his eyes in doubt. At this moment, he saw the faint light all over him, and was puzzled.
Then he seemed to remember something, reached out his cuff, and took out a piece of talisman paper, which was shining faintly.
It turned out to be it!
At this time, he remembered what Liang Sheng said earlier that he would have a good dream, and suddenly realized that he had met a strange person?
But soon the sound of the battlefield brought him back to reality, and the high guard was still lying on the ground motionless. For some reason, he felt a pang of anger in his heart, which made him pick up the knife of a dead guard on the ground, and walked towards the high guard step by step.
Of course, the enemy and us who were fighting together stopped tacitly, and all looked at Chu Chen, only to see that his whole body was shimmering, and under the heavy rain, there was no rain at all.
Miracle!
Some timid masked people knelt down directly, and at the next moment, all the masked people knelt down.
Because Chu Chen slashed guard Gao!
A master of the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, it is so easy to die!
Chu Chen was holding a knife at this time, and continued to walk step by step without stopping. The next moment he raised the knife and dropped it, another human head was thrown high!
Finally, some masked people reacted, but Chu Chen, who no longer hides himself in the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, and with the dim light around him, how can they escape?
In the end, all the masked people died, and the guards focused their adoring eyes on Chu Chen. Chu Chen didn't look at them, but walked to the confidant who was in front of him and was knocked away by the high guard.
At this time, the confidant guard opened his eyes angrily, but there was no sound. Chu Chen gently closed his eyes with his hand, then stood up, and was silent for a moment.
"Clean up, don't scare the innkeeper, and burn the bodies of the brothers to ashes as much as possible. We will take them home."
"Yes, young master."
The guards treated Chu Chen like a **** at this moment. At this moment, the gleam on Chu Chen's body finally disappeared. He wanted to find Liang Sheng, but finally stopped in front of his room door.
Finally, after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and was about to knock on the door, but just as his hand touched the door, the door opened automatically, and the inside was already empty.
But there was only one jade bottle and a note on the table.
"After this farewell, the cause and effect have been broken. Don't think who I am, just meet by chance..."
Old person?
Seeing the first few words on the note, he was a little puzzled. He couldn't remember where he and the expert met.
But when he read the back of the note, he couldn't care so much anymore, because the note explained what was in the jade bottle.
Barrier Breaking Pill!
It can make people have a chance to break through the innate realm in the Ninth Realm of the Acquired Realm, and if they fail, they will be half a step innate, and another barrier-breaking pill that will definitely break through the innate realm.
Chu Chen opened the jade bottle and looked at the ten barrier-breaking pills. He didn't suspect that they were poison. After all, why lie to himself with the other party's magical means?
Shocked, he almost couldn't help shouting up to the sky. His long-cherished wish for many years was finally fulfilled today.
Bitch, you are going to die!
