Chapter 124 Wutong Town
The carriage quickly rolled up the dust and drove past Shi Lei. He waited until all the soldiers were gone before he raised his head and shook his body, shaking the dust off his body. He smiled faintly and walked up to the town.
When he came to the gate of the town, there were many people waiting to enter the city to trade and work. Shi Lei was in it, but he couldn't see any difference from ordinary people.
"I heard that Tianshi finally succeeded in catching demons this time, and the official road leading to the county should be passable."
"Who knows, it has been banned for more than half a month, and the mine I mine can't be transported out. If I don't open the official road, I will lose all the money."
"Well, the little old man is still waiting to go to the county to see my good grandson..."
"..."
Shi Lei listened to the people around him talking about it, and he also knew a little about it in his heart. It seemed that the official road to the outside world of this town was completely closed because of some monsters appeared here. However, this is not difficult for him. As long as he takes off the sword, is there anyone in the mortal world who can stop him?
Finally, after waiting for half an hour, the closed gate slowly opened, the people filed in, and Shi Lei mixed in the crowd and entered the town.
He had just entered the city gate not far away. When he was looking around, an old man in gorgeous clothes stepped to his side and said with a respectful smile, "Brother, my master is invited. Can you move to see him?"
Shi Lei knew that there would be such a section, so he nodded with a smile. The old man was relieved and led the way first. The two walked through the streets and quickly came to a luxurious courtyard. There is a plaque hanging high on the black patent door with the words "Tianshi Tangfu" written on it.
Before, Shi Lei's glance at the official road knew that the so-called heavenly master sitting in the carriage was also an immortal practitioner, but his cultivation was only in the middle of the practice, so he ignored it. But this glance had attracted the attention of the people in the carriage, so he sent someone to invite when he entered the city. Shi Lei happened to have something to inquire about, so he agreed so happily.
"Please come with me!"
The old man led the way in front of him. Shi Lei followed him indifferently and shuttled between the porches. Soon the two stopped in a courtyard. The old man pointed to a simple hall and said, "My master is waiting for the driver in it. Please come in by yourself."
Shi Lei arched his hand to say goodbye to the old man. He stepped into the hall and gently waved his left hand behind him. The door of the hall was quietly closed. Then he laughed softly and said, "Why doesn't the master show up here?"
As soon as the words fell, a figure staggered out of the hall, ran to Shi Lei and knelt down in front of him with a bang on his knees.
"Senior, save my life!"
Shi Lei pushed half a step and didn't help him up. He sneered, "Joke, you are neither my disciple nor my fellow. With your words, I want to save you?"
When the man heard the words, he immediately got up from the ground, bowed and saluted Shi Lei a few times before saying, "Fangcai is the younger generation. Presumably the senior also came down from Xuefeng Mountain. Hurry up and rush back to the master gate. It's just that this official road has been banned by the five leaders, and no monks can pass it. There are countless monks who died in this dragon-slaying operation. The seniors must have great magical powers if they can come out alive. If they can help me a little favor, the younger generation will definitely find a way to send the seniors to pass the ban!"
Shi Lei looked carefully at the person in front of him. He was a middle-aged man with a white face. His face was sincere, but there was a trace of complacency in his eyes, as if he did not worry about the other party not agreeing. There was no expression on Shi Lei's face, and he was shocked: he originally thought that the so-called lockdown was just the work of the mortal government, but he didn't expect it to be a means to cultivate immortals. Of course, he will not trust the person in front of him. He snorted coldly, "I will consider this matter. I'll come to you again in the evening!"
The middle-aged man bent down again and said respectfully, "Senior, please. Tang Hun, the younger generation, is waiting here tonight."
"Tang Hun? Uh-huh!" Shi Lei nodded, turned around and left. The door of the hall was windless, and his figure flashed in the courtyard and disappeared.
Tang Hun looked at Shi Lei, who disappeared outside the hall, with an inexplicable smile on the corners of his mouth. Then he turned back to the inner room and came out with a rune for a long time. He put the rune on his lips, whispered a few words, and then threw the rune into the air. The rune immediately turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.
Besides, Shi Lei came out of Tangfu, hid his body, and flew out of the town with an empty sword. Sure enough, he was less than a hundred miles away, and a probstinence stopped him. Looking at the prohibition of runes, Shi Lei sighed in his heart: The cultivation of the monk who arranged this prohibition must not exceed Yuanying. If he can achieve the cultivation of the golden elixir period, he may be able to forcibly break through the prohibition and leave. It's just that there is no spiritual eye near this town, and how can it be achieved in a day or two if you want to break through the realm?
It seems that Tangfu really has to go there tonight!
At the beginning of the lanterns, the night of the town shows a different prosperity from that in the daytime. The brothel is brightly lit, which is not much different from that in the big city.
Shi Lei hasn't walked in the mortal world for a long time. At first glance at this prosperous scene, he couldn't help thinking of his youth when he was not cultivating immortals, and he couldn't help sighing.
"Du Du Du~~~"
"Please come in. The younger generation has been waiting for a long time."
The door opened, and Shi Leimai stepped inside. There was a big table of Eight Immortals in the middle of the hall, on which there were many delicacies. Tang Hun was standing beside him with a smile on his face, and there were seven or eight young and beautiful women on both sides of the hall.
Shi Lei frowned as soon as he saw it. He smiled coldly, but his eyes stared at Tang Hun.
Tang Hun was creepy when he saw it. He quickly waved his hand to let the women leave and said flatteringly, "Senior, these banquets are the special game of this place. Do you want to..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Lei had stepped to the Eight Immortals Table and sat down. He picked up a cup and drank it by himself. Tang Hun did not dare to neglect it. After closing the door tightly, he also sat down and accompanied him.
Shi Lei hasn't had such a good meal for a long time. While drinking and eating vegetables as if nothing had happened, he has secretly praised in his heart: it's not bad to taste these mountain delicacies occasionally.
Tang Hun waited until Shi Lei had almost eaten before he said with a smile, "Senior, I don't know what you think about the proposal of the younger generation in the daytime?"
Shi Lei slowly wiped his mouth, and then looked up at Tang Hun. He showed a meaningful smile and then said, "I accept it. But how can you guarantee that I can make me pass the ban after helping you?
Hearing the other party's promise, the smile on Tang Hun's face became stronger. He raised his glass and drank all the wine in the glass, and then wiped the wine stains on the corners of his mouth hard and said, "Presumably the senior must not be a monk of our Wu, otherwise he would never say such a thing. Although I, Tang Hun, am not talented, but my backer is the fairy bird gate, one of the five major door-doors of the State of Wu. Do you think I have this ability?
Shi Lei just smiled when he heard the words and did not say anything. He glanced at Tang Hun and said lightly, "If you need my help, just say it. But I want to remind you that if you can't keep your promise after it's done, I'll take your life for you!"
Shi Lei said this in a flat tone, but Tang Hun seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar and fought a cold war uncontrollably.
"Hey... hey..., senior, here's the thing. This town is called Wutong Town, which has always been a marginal town of the State of Wu. In the past, there are vast mountains. Except for an official road that can lead to the county, there is no other town bordering it. So nothing has happened, but in the past half month, there have been monsters in the forest outside the town. Many woodcutters who enter the forest have been poisoned. None of them can come back. The only thing they can find is tired bones.
Tang Hun said this, as if he remembered something terrible. He looked up at Shi Lei and found that the other party's face did not change. He had no reaction, so he had to swallow his saliva and then said, "This place is the realm of protection of the outer door of the fairy and poultry, so the master sent the younger generation to destroy the demon, but unexpectedly entered the forest several times. Not found. Two days ago, I finally found the whereabouts of the monster, but I didn't expect that the monster was very strong. I just swallowed most of the soldiers I brought to face to face. The junior's little deeds couldn't hurt it at all, so I wanted to ask the seniors to help!"
Hearing this, Shi Lei said to himself: I have seen a lot of powerful monsters. Presumably, the monsters here can't be more powerful than those monsters on the floating island. It's okay to promise him.
"Now take me there and finish it early. Remember to keep your promise!"
"Thank you for your help!"
Tang Hun is overjoyed. You should know that the outer door of all sects in the world of immortal cultivation is the most white-eyed place. If you can excellently complete the task assigned by the teacher, you may be able to enter the inner door with this achievement and practice the authentic sect cultivation of immortality.
He just wanted to shout, but he was stopped by Shi Lei by waving his hand.
"What's the use of killing demons and calling these mortals? If you go too many people, you will die. Take me alone!"
"Is it, yes, or is it the thoughtfulness of the predecessors!"
Shi Lei ignored Tang Hun's slippery and patted the horse. He jumped out of the hall with his toes and flew to the dense forest outside the town with an empty sword. Tang Hun looked at the light that disappeared in the air, and his tongue greedily licked the corners of his mouth, and then he used the floating technique to catch up.
The two of them didn't know how far they had traveled. At this time, they had gone dozens of miles into the forest, surrounded by tall trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, which looked particularly gloomy and horrible under the bleak moonlight.
"Senior, the younger generation met the monster here..."
Tang Hun, who caught up with Shi Lei, carefully reminded him softly in his ear, but was stopped by Shi Lei by waving his hand. He could only look around nervously, as if the monster was nearby.
