Save the hero

In the end, I still bought a hat.

He couldn't be as indifferent as Hong Yuan.When faced with other people's strange eyes, he was full of indignation and dissatisfaction.Why judge a book by its cover?Why avoid him like a snake?Why is he treated like this at such a young age?What can he do!If possible, he doesn't want to grow hair either!

But he couldn't explain one by one in turn, and he was suffocating in his heart, feeling unhappy all over.

In order to prevent Hong Yuan from thinking that his appearance is shameful and ashamed to see others, Fang Qi also put on a bamboo hat for himself.

Not only was he wearing a cap, but the little platypus chirped and tugged on the string hanging on his shoulders, looked at him pitifully, and whispered, wanting to get one too.

Fang Qi said: "Add to the confusion. Where can I find you such a small bamboo hat?"

The little platypus took the black gauze that was scattered over his shoulders and covered his face, put it on his big mouth, and looked at him triumphantly with his little black eyes.

Fang Qi: "..."

The two and the beast walked forward wearing bamboo hats, there was no weird looking at them along the way, and there was no more Fang Qi cursing, and the pace was much faster.

It's less than twenty miles away from Fengyao Sect, so naturally we can't stay for long.Fang Qi first bought a few trays of steaming meat buns, and gave two to the children, and took one while he ate one.I also tore some dough for the little platypus and stuffed it with stuffing, and wrapped the rest in oiled paper and held it in my hand.

There is food, but food is not enough, there must be drink.

Fang Qi thought about buying a kettle to bring water, so as not to miss too many hotels and restaurants on the way, hungry and thirsty, dragging the child around the street, suddenly his hand lightened, Fang Qi looked down, and the child took the bottle from his hand. As soon as he lifted the bun, he was carefully taking the bun out of it.

Fang Qi smiled secretly, he really can eat, he can eat well, the more he eats, the taller he will grow.

I didn't notice that the buns never came back.

I bought a kettle and bought a roast chicken at a roadside restaurant. By the way, I asked a guy to clean the kettle and fill it with clean water.

In this way, there is enough food and drink, let alone three or two meals, and they are ready to go.

Fang Qi finished eating the steamed stuffed bun in his hand, and walked towards the city with the child. He always felt that something was missing. Something soft was stuffed in his hand. When he looked down slightly, it was a white, glutinous meat bun. Fang Qi While chewing and thinking, what is wrong?

After walking for a quarter of an hour, I was already outside the city. Looking at the endless winding path ahead, my legs began to tremble intermittently.

Is it possible to still walk?

Absolutely not working!After all, there is no whereabouts of the Valley of Thousand Corpses now. I need to ask and inquire along the way.

Tired can be exhausting!

Fang Qi said decisively: "No, no, we need a means of transportation. Go back."

This small town is not big, just after entering the city, I asked someone to find out where there was a horse-drawn cart and livestock seller, and someone immediately pointed out the way.

The place is not far away, just on the edge of the city. After all, raising cattle and horses is no different than others. Not to mention taking up space, it is also smelly. It is most convenient outside the city.

Walking in the direction pointed by the well-meaning person, within a quarter of an hour, I smelled a strange stench. Following the smell and walking for more than a hundred meters, I saw a stable and a cowshed, and there were several carriages parked beside it.

The man who sold cattle and horses was a middle-aged farmer who was feeding grass. When he heard footsteps, he looked back and asked with a smile, "What do you two do?"

Fang Qi briefly introduced the purpose of his visit, and the middle-aged man said enthusiastically: "I have three horses here, and you may not need the cows. Oh, I also have two donkeys. See which one you need."

It is said that buying a horse and a carriage is the most comfortable, but first, it is too expensive, and second, neither of them can ride a horse. Third, Fang Qi weighed his pockets and asked the price of the horse and donkey respectively.The horses here are surprisingly expensive, one horse is enough to buy three donkeys.

Fang Qi gave up on Ma without any hesitation. He didn't know how long he and Hong Yuan would be wandering on the road, and he couldn't spend all his money recklessly. What should he do if he ran out of money?

The middle-aged man saw his embarrassment and hesitation, and said calmly: "Horses are indeed expensive. You see how you are traveling. I just heard you said that you are traveling a long distance. If you are in a hurry, I advise you to go If you buy a horse, a horse runs faster than a donkey. If you don’t have time, you can buy a donkey. Don’t underestimate the donkey. Although it doesn’t run as fast as the horse, the donkey can endure hardships.”

Fang Qi doesn't know anything about donkeys, but he has a certain understanding of donkey friends.Travel enthusiasts call themselves donkey friends, and they have a little reason about donkeys. They are proud of being able to carry and bear hardships and stand hard work.

Fang Qi listened to his suggestions and analyzed them very pertinently. He didn't say that he tried his best to sell horses because he wanted to sell expensive ones, so he couldn't help but feel good about him.

The deal is done.The middle-aged man went to lead the donkey, Fang Qi prepared the silver, followed behind him, and asked casually: "Brother, do you know any... places with a lot of corpses? The more the better..." Fang Qi described The characteristics of the Valley of Thousand Corpses, said: "It is best to have mountains nearby, be remote, and have few people coming and going..."

Before he finished speaking, the elder brother who sold the donkey suddenly raised his head and said, "Little brother! Why are you asking this?! You can't mess around in that place! You're going to die!"

There was a hint of surprise in Fang Qi's eyes, and he said, "Really?! Where is it? I have something very important!"

The donkey seller sighed: "You are talking about Fengyao Mountain. There are corpses and souls everywhere in Fengyao Mountain. I heard that if you are within three miles of the back mountain, you will not be able to survive! Little brother, listen to my advice, we are dead , can’t die there!”

Fang Qi hesitated, and said, "Don't worry, I really won't go."

After he finished speaking, the big donkey seller was still earnestly saying: "There is nothing you can't grit your teeth and survive, little brother, don't let it go, you see you still have a small one, even if it's for the child, you can't go to die ah!"

Fang Qi groaned inwardly, knowing that the elder brother had no malicious intentions, so he could only bite the bullet and listen, and conveniently pulled the child in front of him to block him, so that he could experience the warmth of human feelings after experiencing the coldness of human feelings ==

The donkey seller was afraid that he would find fault, so he talked for half an hour before leading the donkey out and putting on the reins. Fang Qi quickly paid the money and led the donkey away.

At the end of the day, the big donkey seller shouted from behind: "Don't think too hard, little brother!"

Fang Qi put down the reins, turned around and bowed his hands in earnest to express his thanks before continuing to leave.

The two led the donkey for a leisurely walk, Fang Qi said shortly, "What do you think of that big brother?"

The child didn't know why, so he looked up at him.

Fang Qi said: "See, there are bad people and good people in the world. Although the elder brother is a bit wordy, he is a really good person. There are many, many people like this, you know?"

Hong Yuan nodded unenthusiastically, Fang Qi patted his head, knowing that there was no rush to eliminate the wariness of outsiders, and he had to proceed step by step.

Leading the donkey away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and outside the city, Fang Qi reached for the bun in the child's hand, signaling him to go up first, Hong Yuan hid the things behind his back, and said with wide eyes, "I won't."

Fang Qi said: "Is there anything wrong with this? Come here, and I will carry you up."

"I'm afraid," said the child.

Fang Qi: "..."

Fang Qi said: "That's okay, I'll go up first, you see how I got up, I won't fall to you, don't worry."

This donkey is a full-grown donkey, not as tall as a horse, and by no means small. It is about the position of his chest, and there are no pedals on both sides. After playing chess for a long time, I don’t know how to start. I feel guilty and embarrassed to look back at the child. After a while, he hugged the donkey's head, put one foot on the donkey's back, touched the donkey's head and said to himself: "Good donkey, don't kick me."

Fang Qi hugged the donkey and tried hard, but the donkey was disobedient and shook its head violently on the spot, followed by its body.Fang Qi was hanging on the top, thinking that he was about to be shaken off, when he suddenly felt someone pushing his ass from below, Fang Qi looked down in embarrassment, Hong Yuan was supporting his buttocks, Fang Qi was sweating all over, Rub it up.

Hong Yuan chuckled, Fang Qi rode on the donkey and went backwards, made a space in front, stretched out his hand to pull the child up, looked down to see that the donkey was empty, Fang Qi was dumbfounded, and then stuck a donkey behind him. The warm body was also hugged around the waist.

Fang Qi yelled, and looked back, the child jumped up at some point and sat behind him.

"Aren't you afraid?" Fang Qi frowned.

Hong Yuan immediately hugged him even tighter, and pressed his face against his back, looking really scared.

"You can't sit in the back, it's easy to knock people down, you come to the front," Fang Qi said speechlessly, "I'll hold you."

The adults are at the back and the children are at the front, and it happens that he is protecting him, but when it is turned upside down like this, it becomes the feeling that he is being protected by Hong Yuan.

After Fang Qi finished speaking, the child let go of him suddenly, and said distressedly, "It's very crowded behind me."

Fang Qi froze for a moment, hurriedly moved forward, and asked, "What about now?"

Hong Yuan looked at the large open space behind him, and said pitifully, "It's still crowded."

Fang Qi rubbed forward again, Hong Yuan pinched the donkey's belly, and the donkey kicked and stomped forward, and the matter was over like that.

The two rode on the donkey for more than half an hour, without talking all the way.

When we were in Fengyao Mountain before, we rarely saw each other during the day, but at night, when Hong Yuan came back, we cooked and ate together, washed and washed the dishes, and it was time to sleep. Relatively disturbed by outsiders, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Fang Qi gradually felt uncomfortable, and racked his brains to think of topics. Compared with his frowning face, the people behind took off their bamboo hats, looking at his back, and imagining his beautiful back through his clothes.

Looking at the obedient and well-behaved donkey walking forward, Fang Qi said in a daze: "Have you ever seen a donkey riding backwards?"

Hong Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "What?"

Fang Qi became excited and said with a jolt, "Zhang Guolao from the Eight Immortals, he rides his donkey upside down. His donkey is better than ours. It is said that the donkey is made of paper, but it can travel thousands of miles a day."

Hong Yuan's expression turned cold, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I've never heard of it."

Fang Qi said: "It's a mythical figure. Let me tell you, Zhang Guolao... There are eight gods among the Eight Immortals... Each of the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers..."

Fang Qi found the topic and talked about it cheerfully. Hong Yuan frowned and listened for a while, and realized that he was telling a story, so he could not help pinching his forehead, and sat in the back quietly listening to him.

It was winter, and although it wasn't snowing, the two of them rode the donkey all the time, talking and listening, without moving their hands and feet, and soon became very cold, and it didn't help much if the two of them were tightly attached.Fang Qi began to regret that he didn't buy two quilts in the city to take with him!

In the end, my feet were numb from the cold, so I had to ride and walk for a while. In the evening, after getting on and off the donkey five or six times, Fang Qi finally became proficient in getting on and off the donkey. The situation is compelling!As soon as he got on the donkey, Hong Yuan would actively support his ass below, it was really embarrassing!So he learned to get on a donkey at the speed of light.

……

Candlelight was lit in the darkness, and the two walked into a strange town, led the donkey to find an inn, tied the donkey, washed and ate, and Fang Qi lay on the bed, talking about everything from Zhang Guolao to Tieguai Li. Tieguai Li talked about Uncle Cao Guo, and from Uncle Cao Guo to Lan Caihe, he spoke in a stern and gaudy manner. The child listened carefully and remembered well. Occasionally, when Fang Qi forgot a word to check, he could answer it fluently.

After Fang Qi finished talking about Lan Caihe, he lay happily on the pillow and asked, "Are you okay, do you like listening to my story?"

Hong Yuan looked into his smiling eyes and nodded.

Actually I like to hear you talk.

Fang Qi expressed his satisfaction. When he was a child, he often stayed at home alone. When he was bored, he would read books. The four famous novels Fengshen Liaozhai. When he was a child, he liked Fengshen and Liaozhai the most. There are all kinds of ghosts and gods in it. All the thoughts of a child.Later, after reading these two books, I was a little ignorant and confused when I read Journey to the West: The Red Chamber and Three Kingdoms. I didn’t remember the names of the people after reading the whole book.

Wait until you are a little older to read it, and then you can read the profound meaning in it.Classics are valuable because they can withstand fine honing, and every time they are revisited, they often have new understandings.

"I have a lot of stories. After I finish talking about the Eight Immortals, I will tell you about the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms. The strategy in the Three Kingdoms is really amazing. Listen more and watch carefully." After thinking about it, Fang Qi laughed: "But there are too many characters and complicated relationships. If you don’t understand, just tell me... At your age, you actually prefer to read Liaozhai and Fengshenbang, Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales and Grimm’s fairy tales... Oh, you are here, everything is good, but there are fewer books and less entertainment, and there are no comics and animations. My old world is much duller."

Hong Yuan frowned, sat up, and said sensitively, "What world?"

Fang Qi laughed, pressed the child to lie down, and jokingly said: "You just remembered to ask me this question now? Why did you go so early? You didn't suspect me at all when I appeared in Fengyao Mountain for no reason? But don't worry. , I will not harm you."

Hong Yuan leaned over, pressed his arms on him, and asked in a persuasive tone: "What world? Where is your home?"

"Let's go, let's go." Fang Qi slipped his lips, failed to change the subject, pushed him aside, pursed his lips and remained silent.

You can't say that I'm from the 21st world!We have aircraft and cannons there!Mobile computer high technology!I came to you after reading a book, you are not human!You are a character and this is a book.

Seeing him avoiding talking, Hong Yuan's eyes suddenly became sullen and fierce. He turned over and pressed up again, with his hands on his sides, looking at him like a predator locking its prey.

Fang Qi was forced to look at him, the storm brewing in the child's eyes made one's heart palpitate, and then the neck was firmly strangled, the child hugged him harder and harder, breathing thinly in his ear, very slowly Said very slowly: "You can't leave me."

Fang Qi was so strangled by him that he couldn't breathe, he pushed Hong Yuan aside vigorously, the child was as steady as a rock, and while repeating 'no' and 'can't' back and forth, he tightened his arms bit by bit. Fang Qi was almost suffocated, and the well-behaved person has turned into a complete lunatic!

The bodies of the two were tightly pressed together, and the strength was almost to knead them together, making them into one. Just when it became more and more difficult for him to breathe and the air in his chest was squeezed out, the child suddenly relaxed. he.

Fang Qi's face turned pale, he covered his mouth and coughed dryly, his heart was filled with anger, and he cursed: "There is something wrong with you!"

The child hugged him vaguely, Fang Qi kept pushing and pushing, and then heard the child's soft voice, "You can't leave me."

Hong Yuan softened his attitude, looked at him with wet eyes, aggrieved like a puppy abandoned by its owner, "I only have you."

……

Fang Qi's anger was extinguished all of a sudden, he sighed for a long time, compromised in frustration, took the initiative to hold the child in his arms, patted his back that was trembling because of fear, and softly comforted him: "No, no Yes, what are you afraid of, in fact, no one can live, you will understand when you grow up..."

Hong Yuan froze, Fang Qi hurriedly stroked his hair, and said, "I...I won't leave you, at least not now."

Hong Yuan didn't speak, and was held by him, his eyes were full of storms, filled with thick haze.

*****

After walking and stopping like this for a few days, until a hundred miles away from the Fengyao faction, there was still no movement there, and Fang Qi's heart hanging in mid-air was completely relieved.

On this day, I hurried on my way and came to You'an City, the most prosperous city in recent times. It was as big as a dozen of the towns I saw before, and the quality of life of the people was much higher, and the crowd was bustling.

Fang Qi led the donkey and shuttled Hong Yuan among the crowd, his heart came at the right time, the large city means that there are many floating populations, and the information is more comprehensive and complicated.It’s not that I haven’t inquired about the Valley of Thousand Corpses in the villages and towns a few days ago, but most of the people I asked were locals who were born and raised in the local area. They have never traveled far and know little about the outside world. Most of them pointed directly at Fengyao Mountain. .So Fang Qi searched, picked the busiest location, and came to a restaurant with a big storefront. Seeing that it was almost full of people, most of them looked dusty, and they probably ran around.

Inquiring about the Valley of Thousand Corpses depends on such people.

Fang Qi led the child to look for a seat. There were so many people that he could barely sit down. Finally, Fang Qi stopped beside a table with three people, and said sincerely, "Is it convenient for Fang to set up a table?"

All three of them were men, and they were out in the rivers and lakes. Their brows and eyes were full of open-mindedness and boldness, and they immediately said, "Please."

Fang Qi sat down with Hong Yuan in his arms, called Xiao Er to order food, and added an extra jug of wine to the three people in front of him to express his gratitude, and the three people did not shirk, and happily accepted it.

Fang Qi's eyes rolled around, looking for how to strike up a conversation.

While he was speaking, there was a sudden wave of booing outside.

"Step aside!"

"My God! Whose carriage is this?"

"Fuyao Sword Sect, look at the door emblem on the car wall!"

"This incident even alarmed Fuyao Sword Sect?!"

"It's not just them! I heard that the True Buddha Temple of Buddha Cultivator and the Chunyang Sect of Taoism have all come, and even a lot of Demon Cultivators have come!"

……

Fang Qi probed out and only had time to see the last few carriages in a large line of carriages. It was only a glimpse, but it was easy to see that the carriages were extremely gorgeous and heavy, with intricate and curved patterns carved on them. Each carriage is made of three horse-drawn carriages, and even the coachman is neatly dressed, energetic, and full of vigor in his shouting, it can be seen that he is a practicing family!

Fang Qi frowned, recalling what school they said just now, Fuyao Sword Sect? !

Fang Qi froze for a moment, and quickly searched out the information in his mind.This Fuyao Sword Sect is a veteran family in the Sword Cultivation School!With a long history and one of the most influential, it is a super high-level sect of the Yunhuai Sword Sect created by Hongyuan's sword god father!He was extremely particular about style, otherwise he wouldn't have passed by in such a large formation.

But why did they appear here? !

Where is this going? !

Just as he was thinking about it, a large number of people suddenly poured out on the street outside, only to hear someone shout in surprise: "My God! They are all flying with Yujian! What a big handwriting, what kind of sect is this?!"

"Flying Sword... which sect could it be?"

A man in fancy clothes outside said, "It's Yunhuai Sword Sect."

Yun, Huai, Jian, Zong? !

He heard it right!

Fang Qi was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and he couldn't get back to his senses for a long time. When he turned the corner, most of the people outside had dispersed, and several big men at the same table were talking in a low voice.

"It's really strange recently. I've only been sitting here for a while today, and I saw several large sects running here, not only Fuyao and Yunhuai, but also Taoist, Buddhist, and even demonic cultivators. What happened?" A bearded man asked.

"Actually, it's just these two days." A short and fat man said, "That's why we came to you today."

"Yes, you may not know that you are resting at home during this period of time," the burly man on the side table took a sip of spirits and said, "Did you know that there is a Fengyao faction on Fengyao Mountain?! Something big happened over there It's gone! The Fengyao faction has been massacred! There are more than 300 disciples in the whole faction, and there are no bones left!"

Zhenzhen was unknown when he was alive, but famous all over the world after death.

Fengyao sect... Tu sect?

Fang Qi's chopsticks fell to the ground.

The cheeky man on the other side said in horror: "The slaughter sect? Who did it! The mind is so vicious, what kind of blood and deep hatred is this? Only the entire sect was slaughtered?!"

But the bearded man frowned and said doubtfully, "No."

"I remember that the head of the Fengyao Sect is only a Daoist cultivator. He is not a person who can go up to the stage by cheating and abducting, and I have never heard that he is attached to any large sect." The bearded Hu said: "Such a small sect, small sect, How did it cause such a huge attention and shock so many powerful monks?!"
