Chapter 55
An He's head was tilted by his rubbing movements, but he still frowned slightly, and it seemed that he still couldn't let go: "Senior Du, you are so kind."
Du Zhong stopped and raised his eyebrows: "En?"
"I'm very envious of Senior Brother Gu." An He tilted his head and said, "If it was my master, he wouldn't be able to control me."
In fact, in all fairness, what he said is correct, not every master will value this master-student relationship as much as Eucommia, and some even have no bottom line to cover up.
That kind of paranoia that even if the other party is already able to stand on his own, he should always think about it in his heart.
But there is nothing comparable in the final analysis to any master who treats his apprentice well. After all, An He is not Gu Qingli, and there is no such unlucky life waiting for him.
"That's because he is the head of a faction, and there are too many people under his protection, and I have low ability, so I can only protect you, Senior Brother Gu." Du Zhong retracted his hand with a smile, stood up from the couch, and explained like this .
He didn't know what An He was thinking in the deepest part of his heart, but he felt that it was better not to know, so he left first: "Then I'll go first."
An He sat on the couch without moving, savoring the taste in his heart before he said: "The seniors from Tianxuan are being guarded by senior brothers now, if senior Du manages to escape with Senior Brother Gu, I will find a way Help stop one or two."
Du Zhong glanced back at him, his heart softened because of his words, he held his breath and left the house after thanking him, and drove all the way to the edge of the Wuji Sect near the wild forest, and took out from his bosom the little white left before him. When he put the white conch to his lips and blew, it made a magical sound like farting.
Although Xiaobai said that it is inconvenient for them to enter the great sect of human beings, but at this time Du Zhong has something to ask, they will come if they want to come.
Sure enough, after an incense stick, a white creature like a big white dog was seen running towards Eucommia from the wild forest under the moonlight.
This creature is Dabai, and she has already chased him.At this time, she still looked fluffy and white, and her running posture was quite light, and she didn't seem to have any injuries.
Behind her was a group of cubs of different sizes and colors, who were the descendants of their group.
Du Zhong took the small jade card on the barrier of the mountain protection and opened a hole for them to pass through.
Dabai stopped in front of the barrier and sat down, his ears were erect and his head was tilted so that he didn't get in, but Xiaobai jumped up lightly and ran to Du Zhong's side.
He rubbed his ears back and forth around Du Zhong's trouser legs twice before he straightened his calf and stood up. He greeted him with a human face and said, "I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few days."
Du Zhong laughed straight at his dog-legged appearance.
Dabai was already sitting upright with his paws side by side.She seemed to be extremely reluctant to be brought here by Xiao Bai, and after a long while she asked, "Is there something you want us to come here?"
Du Zhong put away his smile and frowned: "My apprentice has lost, I want you to help me find him."
"How did you get lost?" Dabai sat there shaking his ears, wagging his tail back and forth on the ground, pondered for a moment, and then replied reluctantly, "...I don't know what he smells like, what does your lord have? His personal belongings?"
Du Zhong hesitated for a moment, Gu Qingli became like that, so how can there be anything close to him?
At this time, Xiaobai finally let go of his pants, wrapped his tail around himself, leaned against Du Zhong's calf with his back, sat up straight and flicked the tip of his tail: "I know his smell, he has a fishy smell on him. The taste is like sea fish."
Does Gu Qingli smell like seafood?Du Zhong wrinkled his nose subconsciously, he really hadn't smelled it carefully.
He took out the universe bag that was next to Gu Qingli from his sleeve and handed it over: "Smell it to see if it smells like this."
Xiaobai leaned over and twitched the black nose a few times and then sneezed: "That's right, it smells like sea fish."
Du Zhong frowned when he heard the words. Although he was not so bored as a canine before, holding Gu Qingli or the Qiankun bag back and forth to sniff, but this would be mentioned by Xiaobai, and he was curious, so he picked it up to his nose and sniffed it. for a moment.
But it was probably because his sense of smell wasn't that sensitive yet, and he could only smell a faint smell of fresh sea water. Du Zhong guessed that this might be the smell of Gu Qingli's body.
The smell is light and has no fishy smell, and it smells good. I don't know how Xiaobai smells like a sea fish.
Dabai swept a circle between Xiaobai and Du Zhong, stepped on the spot with his two front paws, and then hesitantly said "oooh" to the kid next to him, "Bring it to the children to smell it. "
Du Zhong glanced at the group of kids who seemed to be quiet at the moment, stepped forward and bent down, holding the Qiankun bag and sweeping under their noses one by one.
The cubs twisted their noses left and right like hounds and came closer, making sniffing sounds, and a few of them chased the bag and insisted on sniffing twice.
One of them had already rushed over to grab him, and Du Zhong's wrist snapped, and those little cubs swept away their previous cuteness, and all jumped on Du Zhong's hand.
Dabai swung his tail and glanced at them, which made them calm down: "The children are a little excited when they smell the big demon."
Unexpectedly, the smell of the white note was so attractive, Du Zhong raised his eyebrows and finally handed the Qiankun bag under Dabai's nose: "Thank you."
After smelling the good smell, Dabai nodded slightly and stood up, flicking his tail and leading the jump into the barrier: "My lord, wait here for a while."
After saying that, he took the group of youngsters and rushed out into the distance in the dark.
But the Promise Sect is too big after all, it is still difficult to find a palm-sized IOU among them.
Du Zhong put away the small jade token, found a hidden place and squatted down to wait.It wasn't until it was almost five o'clock that he heard the faint "rustling" sound of stepping on the grass coming from far and near.
Du Zhong stood up and took a look with his head. It turned out that Dabai and the others had finally returned.
Because Dabai is also white, Du Zhong didn't notice what she had in her mouth at first, but when they got closer, they realized that Dabai came back with a white strip in her mouth.
Du Zhong felt at ease, and it would be nice if he could get it back anyway.
At this time, Gu Qingli was still only the size of a slap, and he didn't move after being bitten by Dabai, looking listlessly for some reason.
Earlier, he took advantage of Du Zhong's bath time and left without saying a word, and he seemed to have done some dirty things behind his back, which made Du Zhong restless for a long time.
Du Zhong was a little angry in his heart, thinking that if he found Huihui Qingli, he would have to vent his anger, but this would make the other party look half-dead, and the anger in his stomach circled around and he held back.
Du Zhong didn't want to pursue him any more, so he stared at him with a sneer and asked, "Are you still alive?"
With a piece of meat dangling from his mouth, Dabai let out an inarticulate "huh".
Du Zhong nodded and didn't reach out to rescue Gu Qingli from Dabai's mouth, but threw the jade token on the barrier: "Let's go."
Xiaobai ran over to pick off Du Zhong's trouser legs, saw that he didn't respond, so he climbed up the clothes, and finally lay on his shoulders carefully, wrapped his neck around him, and asked, "Where are you going? "
Du Zhong only felt that the back of his neck was warm, and it was nothing but itchy from being scratched by the fluff, so he didn't shake him off.
As soon as they moved, the disciples of the Tianxuan sect would surely notice that the disciples holding the imprint of the spirit and soul were visiting the Wuji sect, so they would be delayed for a while, but they would probably catch up after a while.
Eucommia stood with hands down, squinting his eyes to look at the sky in the northwest corner. The aura in that place was completely different from that in this place.
Du Zhong slightly raised his chin in that direction: "Over there."
Xiaobai immediately responded like a dog.At this time, he had already found his balance on Du Zhong's shoulders, so he curled up and limp down.
It seemed to make him happy not to have to run on the ground by himself. He grinned at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a smiling expression with fox eyes.
Xiaobai swept his head down condescendingly, and met Gu Qingli's gaze.At this time, they were sitting firmly on a high place and the other was in the mouth of others. After looking at each other for a while, they all looked away.
Seeing him being held in his sister's mouth like a dead fish, Xiaobai flicked the tip of his tail and didn't react, but it seemed that being next to a living person made him a little hot, sticking out his red tongue in that "hachihachi" panting.
It also made him look more like he was smiling.
But Du Zhong didn't seem to notice that one of the few things he was accompanying was missing, and strode forward on his own, leading the way to the northwest.
This is the direction to the Demon Realm.
Du Zhong took the lead and galloped ahead, and many of the little foxes in the back ran onto Dabai's back, so they wouldn't be thrown far away.
After less than a stick of incense, they were already far away from the Promise Sect.
When they were near the Wuji Sect, there were still wild forests and some animals and plants around them, but when they walked far away, they found that there was nothing desolate around them, as if the vitality on the earth had already been taken away by the demon realm do.
The wind blowing in front of me during the journey also became bitter, with a lot of coarse sand mixed in it, and it was quite uncomfortable to blow on the face.
Xiaobai wrapped around his neck tightly, it turned into a fur collar, which shielded him from a lot of wind and sand.
As far as the eye can see, there are yellow sands all over the place, and only some khaki dilapidated buildings can be seen faintly at the end of the field of vision.Du Zhong's eyes moved slightly, this scene was so similar to what he saw in his dream when he was dying.
Out of the corner of Eucommia's eyes, he saw several black giants crawling slowly from a distance, and had already entered the village.With a sharp eye, he recognized that it was a blood-sucking spider. There were probably still living people in the village, and they came to feed on it.
This village is not on their route, and it is still a little distance away, so it will not be discovered by the spider.
At this time, it is not yet known when the pursuers will arrive, and it is time to race against time. It is obvious that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and one should not waste time by meddling.
Eucommia was moving extremely fast, and it was almost over the small village in just a few thoughts.
But at this time, he suddenly paused for a moment, turned around and headed towards the small village.
The isolated dilapidated small village on the desolate yellow sand, the closer it gets, the more it feels like the scene in that dream.
Xiaobai didn't understand why he turned back suddenly, his crooked little head shook his ears twice but didn't ask a question, and the face of Du Zhong was itchy with the fluff rubbing against it.
It's just that no one dissuaded him this time, so Dabai followed him and turned around without asking any questions.
It was still early at this time, the sky was not bright yet, the skyline had just ceased to be so dark, and the moon could not be seen clearly.
The strong wind blows yellow sand and howls past the ears. Eucommia stops in front of the village and stretches out his hand to straighten the hair that is messed up on his face.
As soon as he stood still, he saw a large group of people rushing out in the dark with their bags on their backs.Du Zhong has good eyesight, even if the surrounding light is not good, he can see people clearly.
This seems to be the residents who escaped from the village, dragging their families one by one, because they escaped early and survived from the mouth of the vampire spider.
But upon closer inspection, Du Zhong found that there were only young adults and children in the team, and no elderly people were seen.
As soon as they came out, they vaguely saw a person standing abruptly on the yellow sand in the darkness around them, and they were startled immediately.
Seeing that they suddenly stopped in their tracks, Du Zhong probably guessed that he had frightened them, so he said loudly: "I just happened to pass by here, and I don't mean anything malicious."
The people in the team felt relieved after hearing his words, and walked to Du Zhong's side not long after.
They saw that Eucommia's complexion was fair and delicate, and his appearance was upright, unlike theirs, which was thick and thick, and whose face was washed dark and rough by years of yellow sand and sun, so they knew that Eucommia was not quite the same as them.
At that moment, a young man came out and asked politely, "Are you that Wu..."
He stopped suddenly after saying a few words, probably forgot the words.After a couple of ambiguous sounds, he continued: "Is there no immortal from any sect?"
Du Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Wujizong?"
The young man slapped his forehead: "Ah, yes, it's the Wuji Sect. Look at my memory."
If it is next to the Tianxuan sect, mortals can even recognize the Tianxuan disciples by their clothes, not to mention the trivial matter of remembering the sect's name.
But there are only three words in Wujizong, and there are mortals who can't remember it before they go far. It's a bit too miserable to mess up, without even a little prestige.
Du Zhong shook his head and didn't elaborate, just asked: "Did something happen in front?"
There was a hint of distress on the young man's face, and he said with a bitter face: "The monsters from the Demon Realm are here. Let's escape to find a way out."
Du Zhong took a closer look at them, and saw that many of them didn't even put on their clothes neatly, they just ran out with some clothes in a hurry.
The young man took a peek at the foxes hanging around Du Zhong's neck and sitting in a circle. Although he thought he looked very elegant and gentle, he was still afraid, worried that he was some kind of fox monster, and unconsciously shrank his chest. Back up, subconsciously wanting to lower my sense of existence.
Without waiting for Du Zhong to ask, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Because we are close to the fairy gate, no monsters have ever come to our village before, but I don't know what happened recently..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a heart-piercing cry of a child from afar.
Du Zhong's eyes were fixed, and he turned his head lightly and asked, "Is there still a person in the village?"
The young man rubbed his hands: "Those who can't run and those who don't want to run, stay."
"Can't run?"
The young man mumbled a few words inexplicably.Du Zhong didn't bother to listen, and immediately set off and walked into the village.
The crying didn't stop at this time, occasionally mixed with a few breathless sobs and screams.
Du Zhong followed the voice and quickly found the crying child, and saw that it was a little boy about ten years old, slumped in the corner, trembling and crying so hard that he couldn't even breathe, but his eyes were still wide open Yes, stare straight ahead.
Not far in front of him lay a blood-sucking spider, with two huge fangs stuck on a dark brown human-shaped dead object, slowly sucking it right in front of the child.
The child had already collapsed, his face was numb, he was trembling and screaming, but the blood-sucking spider was unmoved by his screaming.
After a while, it put down the dead thing that had been sucked dry, and moved towards the child.
When Du Zhong saw it, Jiu Xiao immediately pulled out his waist, bent his legs and charged up slightly, and took advantage of the time when the big spider was still coveting its new prey, and jumped up onto the spider's back.
The sword was mixed with spiritual power, and the cold light on the blade was invincible. It pierced into the spider's belly and pierced it, splashing out dark green juice.
Du Zhong raised his hand to wipe off the filth splashed on his face, and then grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands and pulled it violently.The sword is a sword, and the cultivation base of the swordsman is also high. This time, he cut open the hard shell of the blood-sucking spider, and tore the blood-sucking spider apart.
When the spider was dying, it let out a terrible scream, and frantically struggled on the ground.
Du Zhong immediately drew back the Nine Heavens Sword, turned over and jumped off the spider's back, and kicked the spider that had been split in half from the middle away.
Because his current cultivation base is not what it used to be, and he has a good sword in his hand, and the vampire spider is not fully grown, it only takes a few breaths to kill it.
Du Zhong turned his head and looked at the sobbing child who was huddled in the corner of the wall. He didn't hurry to go over, but first tore off a piece of cloth from his inner jacket, wiped the Jiuxiao Sword and put it into the sheath.
He walked slowly to the corner, squatted down slowly, raised his hand and curled his fingers to gently rub the child's face, his voice was as low as a soft whisper: "What are you doing here?"
