Stone of Other Mountains

Chapter 19 Heading to Xuzhou

On the first day of the junior high school, Qingyue Mountain was the first to set off firecrackers.Before the sky turned white, the top of Qingyue Mountain was already bustling with activity.The little disciple immersed in the joy of the New Year couldn't bear the loneliness, so he ran out early to play.

Duan Chen had no dreams all night and slept soundly.Not long after the firecrackers rang, he also got up.He guessed that Master didn't sleep well last night, and went to work in the kitchen as soon as he got up.

In the past five years, since he practiced spells, he had a lot more free time, so he learned some cooking skills.Although Xun Faxue has long been bigu, but it does not hinder Duan Chen's filial piety.

Sure enough, Xun Faxue didn't sleep well all night, not because of the walking corpse, but because he had some messy dreams.He dreamed back to the time when he was 15 years old, it was the time when he was hunted down.In the past, in his memory, he only remembered that he was hunted down, but he didn't know who, why, and the result.In the dream last night, he realized that he knew and was very familiar with that person, and the sadness and pain of the person in the dream was like yesterday, which made him almost out of breath.

He supported the bed to sit up, just opened his wet eyes, a hot tear fell on the back of his hand, he stared blankly at the wet place on his hand, why, so sad, his heart hurts so much.

A gentle knock on the door brought Xun Faxue back to reality.

"Master, are you up yet?"

Xun Faxue quickly wiped off the tears on his face, and replied: "Get up, wait a moment."

Duan Chen obediently stood outside the door waiting for Xun Faxue to open the door. He wanted to send New Year blessings the moment the door opened, but when he saw that haggard and pale face, the words on his lips turned around and became : "Master, I made stomach nourishing porridge, would you like some?"

"No need, I didn't see any outsiders today except my senior brother. I want to check the matter about the walking corpse." Xun Faxue waved his hand, and walked towards the bookstore randomly.

Seeing Master's appearance like this, Duan Chen couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he knew he would have told Master later, but he also knew that this kind of thing couldn't wait, so he could only blame the instigator of the incident, complaining while doing what Master told him, A small enchantment of thanking guests was set up in the sky above Loquat Pavilion.

On the night of the first day of the new year, Xun Faxue hurriedly found Song Zhi and told him about the walking corpse.Song Zhi was also obviously surprised, he clenched his fists and frowned, thinking about how to solve this matter.

"I immediately wrote a book to Luo Fenghua and Ji Yue'an, and our three sects will work together to exterminate all the walking corpses."

"No, the situation is not yet clear, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been found out. If the three sects suddenly join forces, it will definitely cause panic in the world, and even scare the snakes."

"Then what does Nianqing want to do?"

"Tomorrow, Achen and I will set off for Xuzhou. First, we will investigate the situation. When the time is right, I will write a book for you and Mian Zhi, and play by ear."

Song Zhi's expression changed immediately after hearing this, and he shook his head to express his disapproval. "It's too dangerous, just let Duan Chen go."

Xun Faxue looked at Song Zhi in astonishment, "Senior brother, what are you talking about?" He turned from astonishment to anger, glared at Song Zhi and said, "Senior brother, are you saying something that a cultivator should say? Standing upright, you should stand up in the face of a catastrophe, and use your own ability to protect the well-being of the world. Senior brother, you have let me down." After finishing speaking, he swung his sleeves and walked away.

Song Zhi looked at the direction where he was leaving for a long time, and murmured in astonishment: "The same thing..." Then it turned into a wry smile, "I shouldn't have read those books to you, why is it like this again? Abandon me for those irrelevant people."

Xun Faxue returned to Pipaxuan with anger, and immediately asked Duan Chen to pack up quickly.Although Duan Chen didn't know what happened, he always listened to his master's words, and quickly cleaned up his hands and feet.The two set off overnight to Xuzhou without any extra stops.

The two of them worked hard and arrived in Xuzhou on the fifth day of the fifth day.Due to the influence of the walking corpses, the city of Xuzhou was desolate, no one could be seen, the streets were full of dust, and some bloodstains left after the invasion of the walking corpses, the air was filled with a suffocating putrid smell.Here, there is no trace of New Year's celebration.

Xun Faxue walked to a shop that looked like an inn, and gently knocked on the door. "Is there anyone, stay at the store."

There was a long silence, and no one answered.Xun Faxue walked along the street, but no family opened the door.

"Master, why don't you just break into the door directly."

"People are plagued by walking corpses every day, and it is human nature not to wait to see us."

Hard work paid off, and Xun Faxue finally knocked on the door of a shop, but it was a little girl who opened the door, who looked only five or six years old.Duan Chen stood in front of Xun Faxue vigilantly and went in, looking around, there was nothing unusual.

After a while, an old man came in with a bowl from the back door. When he saw the two people standing in the main hall, he was so frightened that the bowl fell to the ground.He hugged the little girl and ran towards the back hall, hiding in a corner and shivering.

Xun Faxue sighed, and said: "Old man, you don't have to be afraid, we are cultivating immortals, and this visit is just to solve the case of walking corpses here."

Duan Chen also said a few words of comfort, and finally coaxed the old man out trembling.He pointed at them with trembling fingers, and asked in dialect: "You, you cultivators?"

"Exactly, we can solve the walking corpses here, just ask the old man to give you a place to live."

After being put down, the little girl happily ran over, circled Xun Faxue, and finally raised her head and said in a childish voice, "Brother, you are so pretty."

Xun Faxue felt his face was a little hot, and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do.Duan Chen saw his embarrassment, squatted down and looked at the little girl with a smile, "You look good too. Do you want candies?" He took out a handful of candies from his bosom while talking.

The little girl accepted the candy with twinkling eyes, and said thank you, "Thank you brother, you are so kind." After speaking, she ran away to play by herself.

The old man led two people up to the second floor, because no one had lived there for a long time, and many rooms had not been tidied up.Reluctantly picked out a room that wasn't very dirty and cleaned it up a bit.

Duan Chen leaned at the door and looked at the busy Xun Faxue, and saw that the old man had already gone downstairs, he wondered, "Hey, Master, what about me?"

Xun Faxue was taken aback, ran out and called the old man, and said, "There is one more person."

The old man was surprised and said, "You want your brother to sleep alone? He is so small and dangerous. As a brother, you have to take good care of him."

Xun Faxue backed his forehead, pointed to the bed helplessly, and motioned to sleep together.On the surface, Duan Chen obediently walked over to help make the bed, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.
