I respect him so fragrant

When the sun rises in the east and everything wakes up, there is still a little mist in Datun Village in the early morning.Uncle Li had already woken up early, packing up and repairing the house for Jiang Gu's family.While telling him to be careful, Aunt Li opened the door and went out to make breakfast for him.

As soon as she opened the door, she froze.

On the ground lay a dew-wet money bag that looked bulging.

She picked it up and saw that it was full of glistening silver, none of which were particularly large, and they all looked like small pieces.

It seems to have been saved for a long time.

At this moment, Xie Yao was leaning on the back of Samsung's furry head, telling Jiang Gu a story vividly.

His eyes were black and blue, it could be seen that he didn't get a good rest last night.

But his voice sounded very energetic: "But then again, that monster is not weak, how could it be defeated by a fairy with a low level of cultivation?"

"If you want to see what happens next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

Then Xie Yao put his hands on his back, looked at Jiang Gu with a smile, and said, "How is it? Your master, I told you a good story, right?"

"Ah."

Jiang Gu raised his eyes and stared at him: "But Master, why do you want to tell me a story?"

The breeze blew over Xie Yao's hair, causing him to yawn: "Isn't it... I'm afraid you'll be bored."

"Then why didn't you talk about it before?"

"In the past, I was afraid that you would not like it."

Hearing this, Jiang Gu's expression moved slightly, and he was about to speak again.Xie Yao yawned again, with a deep sleepiness on his face: "I can't do it, I got up too early this morning, I'm sleepy, I need to catch up on sleep."

He closed his eyes tiredly, let go of all emotions, and fell into a deep sleep.

The sunlight lightly fell on his picturesque eyebrows and eyes, which actually made him feel a little cold and repulsive to others thousands of miles away.

Perhaps, according to what the world thinks, this genius who worshiped under Shuoyue Xianzun when he was young and became the youngest Xianzun in Zhufang at the age of 21 should have a cold and proud temperament.

Jiang Gu's eyes lingered on his face for a while, and then moved away in confusion.After repeating this several times, he finally gave up struggling, and his eyes were firmly locked on the face of the person in front of him, as if he would not move even if the sky fell.

Even if what awaits them ahead are unknown dangers, countless mysteries, and bloody storms that may come anytime and anywhere.

But at this moment, there is only the flowing wind, the warm light, the endless sky, and Xie Yao and Jiang Gu who don't belong to any identity.

***

Ghostfall Market, as the name suggests, there are ghosts and ghosts, there are fallen immortals, and even the location is a dark underground where the sun cannot be seen.

The entrance is an inconspicuous dilapidated thatched cottage in the mountains.Before coming, both Xie Yao and Jiang Gu changed into black clothes, and threw away all the items that represented their identities, leaving only their respective swords and some silver clothes.Samsung turned into a little chow chow dog and was hugged by Xie Yao, looking dumbfounded.

During this trip, Jiaoyue Xianzun specially instructed not to advance rashly, just for the sake of stability.

Xie Yao joked, "Jiang Gu, once I go in, I will give my life to you."

"Me too." Jiang Gu responded calmly.

Hearing this, Xie Yao glanced at him, and couldn't help but hooked his lips into a smile: "Then since we are going to be friends for life and death, you can share your red rope with me."

"Why?"

"it works."

Jiang Gu struggled for a while, but still opened the sleeve of his right hand, and untied the only red string on his wrist and handed it to him.

"Why is there only one left? Where did the other one go?"

"In...the left hand."

Xie Yao held his left hand, opened his sleeve and saw that there was another red string tied around his wrist.He asked strangely: "Is it particular about the red string tied on the left hand and right hand?"

Jiang Gu lowered his eyes: "No, I'm not particular."

Then why do you look so guilty, Xie Yao thought, like a thief.

He let go of Jiang Gu's hand, cast a spell on the two red ropes, and said, "This is the acquaintance technique. If we get separated, the red ropes will lead us to find each other."

"Ah."

"Also, have you put on your heart armor?"

"It's on." Jiang Gu nodded.

Xie Yao raised his eyebrows to express his praise: "That's right, this is a good thing, it can save your life at critical moments."

"Then... how about you, Master."

"Me?" Xie Yao said, "We have encountered so many things along the way, when do you think I almost lost my life?"

"It's different here."

This is the place where the wicked and the most evil gather.

"Oh, don't worry." Xie Yao smiled and comforted him, "Our trip is just a secret investigation, and we don't want to cause trouble. I'm telling you this just in case."

He continued: "Besides, there are people inside who will take care of us, what are you afraid of?"

"Can……"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go in." Xie Yao didn't listen to him, and walked towards the thatched cottage with Samsung in his arms.

Jiang Gu stared at his back for a long time before taking a step and following him.

The interior of the thatched cottage is as dilapidated as the exterior, and it looks like an empty house that has been unoccupied for many years.Xie Yao took out the Hanjiang transfer order given by Qingfeng Immortal Venerable before leaving, and said: "The Guying Gate is calling urgently, and the two Xuanxiu are asking to enter."

As soon as the words fell, the originally dilapidated walls began to show black air, and a vortex-shaped teleportation circle appeared immediately, and at the same time, there appeared a majestic voice like a bell: "Yun."

Seeing this, Xie Yao turned his head and said to Jiang Gu who was beside him, "Let's go in."

Jiang Gu nodded.

The two figures disappeared into the circle together.

The walls are back to their original shape.All around, the thatched cottage was silent, as if nothing happened just now.

***

A faint smell of blood rushed to his face.

Jiang Gu frowned, and when he looked up, he saw dozens of corpses hanging upside down in front of the city wall not far away. Even though the dusk and sunset were illusions, they truly reflected the expressions on the faces of the dead—fear, anger, pain……

"Master," he asked in a low voice, "what's going on?"

Xie Yao obviously also saw the scene in front of him, and said, "That's a defector."

"Although Guiluo Market is called a market, it is also a city. Just like the outside world, there are sects and aristocratic families in the city. Leaving aside the aristocratic families, let's just talk about the sects here. They are the same as our fairy sects, and they have ranks. The Immortal Sect is the third level of Immortal Venerable Immortal Master, and they are the fourth level of Heaven and Earth Mysterious Cultivation. We cultivate immortals to save people, and they cultivate immortals to kill people."

"If someone in the sect doesn't want to stay any longer, he is a defector, and the end will be... what we are seeing now."

Jiang Gudao: "I've never heard of this, and it doesn't seem to be written in the book."

"This place is not recognized by the outside world, so it won't be included in serious books." Xie Yao glanced at him, "And you happen to be a person who only reads serious books."

"..."

"Okay, let's go, we're entering the city." Xie Yao said, "I'll find some books for you when I get back from this trip."

"Ah."

When passing the city gate, the smell of blood became stronger.Jiang Gu couldn't help turning his head, and looked at the city wall again. A corpse happened to turn around, with a half-rotten face covered in maggots, facing him directly.

A feeling of nausea suddenly surged up, and his stomach began to churn. He quickly rushed to the corner of the wall, bent down and vomited.

Xie Yao was taken aback for a moment, then followed him, and said while stroking his back: "You are someone who has seen blood anyway, so you shouldn't be so fragile."

After the nausea subsided, Jiang Gu stood up slowly while supporting the wall, closed his eyes in pain and said, "I... am not... afraid."

He has seen monsters that are several times more disgusting and uglier than this one, he has experienced life and death, and he has had hot blood on his hands.It stands to reason that nothing would make him lose his composure until he saw the dead body in front of the market.

Not afraid of rotting corpses, but disgusted with the people who did it all.

In this world without rules, human life and death are not worth mentioning, and can even be used as a means of intimidation by those behind the scenes, so that those who want to escape from all this dare not act rashly.

The blackness of the human heart is even more terrifying than the ugly appearance.

"Although I know it's inappropriate for me to say this," Xie Yao said softly, "Jiang Gu, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it doesn't stop here."

Jiang Gu's hand slowly fell from the wall.

"Actually... it's good for you to see these." Xie Yao said again, "Sometimes people see too much white things and think everything is white. But how can it be all white?"

"Only when you see black, will you desperately want to protect the only white."

"Yes, Master." Jiang Gu looked up at the illusory setting sun in the sky, "I understand."

Xie Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's easy to listen to others, but if you want to truly understand it, you have to rely on yourself."

"Ah."

While the two were talking, a man in a black robe walked up to them.He lowered his head, his face was firmly blocked by the hat, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Xie Yao stood in front of Jiang Gu vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency?"

"Shen Mian is a merchant in the silk business."

Hearing this, Xie Yao and Jiang Gu looked at each other and roughly understood the identity of the visitor.

"So that's the case, but what kind of silk and satin brother Shen is selling?"

"Autumn leaf brocade, February flowers, and a foot of river waves."

"Coincidentally," Xie Yao said, "My friend and I are planning to buy something like this, can Brother Shen take us to have a look?"

The man in black robe took off his hat, revealing a stern face.He stretched out his right hand, bowed in a gesture of invitation, and said, "This way please, both of you."

And on the palm of his right hand, there is a small jade tablet with three words engraved on it——

Hold the damper.

——Some little things about traveling——

In fact, at the beginning of the tour, Jiang Gu lost his master once.

It can't be said that he is careless, it can only be said that after staying in Wanyue Fairy Mountain for three years, he has long been used to traveling alone, and has his own set of rules for daily life, walking and sword speed.

As a result, on the way to Xiancao Village for the first time, he flew with his sword and forgot about Xie Yao who was following behind.When he reacted again, the person had disappeared.

He hurried back to look for it again.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Xie Yao who was...eating wontons in a small market town.

The sky was clear and the sky was clear, three people gathered at the wonton stall, only he was the only one sitting in the most inconspicuous place dressed in white, but also the most conspicuous one.The stall owner lifted the lid of the cauldron for cooking wontons, and a puff of white air burst out, blocking Jiang Gu's gaze.When I looked again, the dignified and decent Shuiyue Xianzun just now was gone, and only Xie Yao, who was scalded by the wonton and grinning, was left.

From this moment, Jiang Gu knew that he might have to change his habits in the future.

The author has something to say: "The Wind"
