Chapter Eleven Sword Intent
The wind at night was a little noisy, slapped on Gu Ying's face freely, and there were a pile of ruins that had been pushed down in front of him.
"If... I'm not wrong, this is the inn we are looking for." Gu Ying's mouth twitched, and he and Xiaobai ran down from the mountain happily. But when they waited until the ground, they found that the people had been demolished at some point. It was like a bolt from the blue hitting them.
"Tonight... are you going to sleep on the street again?" Gu Ying said sadly. When he went out, he still brought some money to travel, but it has been two days since he couldn't use the money.
"Squeak..." Xiaobai supported himself and licked Gu Ying's fingers, comforting him not to be depressed, and his fluffy tail kept swaying.
Gu Ying looked at Xiaobai who was acting cute in front of him, and felt much better. He bent down and hugged him: "It's okay, at worst we can go to the next house for a night."
"squeak!"
After calming down his mood, Gu Ying embarked on the journey forward again in the moonlight. After all, according to what the old Taoist said, this was the road he had walked a long time ago. After so many years, it is inevitable that some places will be in and out.
Gu Ying just hugged Xiaobai and walked on the official road. After climbing the mountain, the road became wider and flat. In general, it became much easier to walk. In addition, Gu Ying's body is much stronger than ordinary people, so his foot power is naturally extremely fast.
After a night of travel, Gu Ying finally saw an inn running by the road when it was dawn. The inn looked very new and should have just been open for a long time.
However, although it was just dawn, the waiter of the inn had already started cleaning in front of the door. Seeing Gu Ying coming in full swing, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him.
"Yeah, it's time for you to have a meal or stay in a hotel?"
"Live in a hotel, but what food do you do in your store do so early?" Gu Ying asked.
"Your, the kitchen soup buns have been steamed, it's not me that I'm blowing. The guys who have eaten soup buns from the small shop have praised them. If the guest needs to wait for a while, I'll deliver them to you." The waiter said angrily, especially when he talked about his own buns, his eyes lit up.
"Okay, then take me to the room first, by the way, give me the whole three cages of buns." Gu Ying nodded. He hadn't eaten anything serious in the past two days. Now, let alone the three cages of buns, he felt that he could eat a cow, so he quickly explained.
"Okay, please go upstairs, please pack three-cage buns in the kitchen!" The waiter shouted to the kitchen while leading Guying upstairs.
"How many roads are there to Nancheng here?" Gu Ying asked while following the waiter upstairs.
"This...it must be at least seven or eight hundred miles away. The guest officer is going to Nancheng?" The waiter pinched his fingers and said.
"Yeah, I want to go and have a look." Gu Ying nodded and replied.
"These hundreds of miles of roads are still hard to endure hardships. The young man calculated that the caravans in Nancheng will rest in our store tomorrow. The young man told them tomorrow, and the customer will give them some broken silver and let them take you for a ride?" The waiter also saw that Gu Ying was hiking to the store, so he said so. And because the inn was on the side of the road, there were often caravans passing by here, and the store brought some passengers to the caravans in the store.
You can make some money from it even if you go there, so why not do it?
"It's good, so I'll bother you." Gu Ying felt that it was good. Apart from mountains and rivers, Xiaobai was accompanying him along the way, and he didn't even have a personal anger. No matter how much Gu Ying said, he was a young man, and he was still somewhat uncomfortable with such a quiet journey. Of course, he still didn't forget to touch a few copper coins from his arms to the waiter. The memories of his previous life told him that money was always the first tool to liven up human feelings.
"No trouble, no trouble, this is the guest official's room. Guzheng rests first, and the buns are ready later and the small ones will be brought to you." The waiter took the copper plate, his face was full of joy, and he nagged Gu Ying for a few more words before turning around and going downstairs.
Gu Ying looked at the waiter's back as he left happily, and weighed the amount of money in his arms. He sighed helplessly. He couldn't spend money some time ago, but now he doesn't have enough money. It seems that when he arrives in Nancheng, he still has to think of ways to earn some travel expenses.
"Bed Ai..." Gu Ying shook her head, preventing herself from thinking about these common things about the rich and the wine, and turning around and trying to jump into the bed.
"Squeak!" Xiaobai suddenly jumped in front of him and stopped Gu Ying, who was about to pounce on the bed, then his little head turned to the direction of the bathtub in the house, signaling Gu Ying to take a shower first.
"Wow, you are still obsessed with cleanliness rolling in the woods every day?" Gu Ying shouted in surprise.
"Squeak!" Xiaobai looked at the lonely shadow covered in mud with disdain, and then shook his snow-white and soft fluff like a show-off.
Only then did Gu Ying realize that the dusty days of the past two days did not leave any traces on Xiaobai, and there was no dust on the little guy.
"What kind of magical skill do you have?" Guying was basically inseparable from it in the past two days. Not to mention taking a bath, they had almost never even been watered. This little guy was still spotless, so it must be that it had some special abilities.
Gu Ying has also heard that ordinary spirit beasts have their own talent, some can soar in the sky, some can sneak with the earth, some can pull mountains, or master one of the five elements. However, this is the first time I heard that those who are not stained with dust like Xiaobai have to sigh at the greatness of the world again.
....................................................................................................
"Ah... it feels so comfortable!" Gu Ying took a shower and stretched her waist. Although she just wanted to put her mind on the bed, it was indeed much more comfortable to take a shower than just now.
Xiaobai was already curled up on the bed and fell asleep, and his big fluffy tail occasionally lifted up and waved it gently.
This made Gu Ying envious of its talent. It would be too cool to be able to keep his body in a state of perfection at all times. However, Gu Ying's attention may be different from others. People who tame spirit beasts want the more powerful the skills of the spirit beasts, the better. Those like Xiaobai can basically be said to be fighting the five scumbags. Gu Ying does not have this awareness. After all, Xiaobai has never been a tool for him to fight.
At this time, the three-row soup dumplings had been delivered to Gu Ying's table. Perhaps because he knew Gu Ying was taking a shower, the waiter did not disturb him and left.
The lonely shadow just finished taking a shower
I was not as sleepy as I had just had, so I picked up a bag of buns, sat sideways by the window, looking at the misty distant mountains outside the window, and eating the steaming soup buns in my hand, looking so cool.
"Is this the scenery outside? He should have seen a lot?" Somehow, Gu Ying remembered the peerless swordsman in his memory again. He would not forget the purpose of his trip. He wanted to find something that could prove his existence, but he still didn't know what he was looking for, and he couldn't ask others what he was looking for. The road ahead was like this misty distant mountain that made him unable to see clearly.
This unclearity made Gu Ying's chest feel like it was pressed by a huge rock, making him very dull. In order to relieve the depression in his heart, Gu Ying pulled out the Taoist sword and subconsciously began to dance the sword.
At this time, Gu Ying only felt the sword-like strokes, and every stab, and every time they came into his mind. It seemed as if a figure was constantly dancing with a sword in his mind, and his body also learned his movements and moved. Gradually, Gu Ying seemed to be immersed in a state, and his body was getting more and more adapted to this move, and the speed of sword dancing became faster and faster.
For a moment, the cold light flashed in the room, and Gu Ying's figure gradually became unreal. This was thanks to the branch that nurtured Gu Ying's flesh and blood. If an ordinary person had danced like this, the blood vessels and muscles on his body could not withstand this strong swing at all.
"Buzz..." With the sound of swords, Gu Ying's sword intent was great. After the Taoist sword was lit, it suddenly closed its sheath, and the sword intent on his body was like an invisible wave emitting towards him.
"Squeak!!!" Xiaobai, who was still wandering in his dream, was suddenly awakened by Gu Ying's powerful sword intent, which scared him so much that he almost jumped off the bed. At that moment, it felt as if there was an invisible sword to divide it into two pieces.
Fortunately, although the sword intent is amazing, it does not have any substantial damage, so at best it just scares Xiaobai to the point of fuzz all over his body.
Xiaobai jumped up and squeaked, looking around with big eyes alertly, but there was no one else around except for the lonely shadow standing in front of him with a sword.
Xiaobai wanted to walk to Guying to see what this guy was doing, but as soon as he took a step, his steps softened and he fell on the bed again. Xiaobai then realized that Ziguying's body actually emitted a fearful aura that made him penetrate deep into his bone marrow.
"Zhizhi?" Xiaobai didn't dare to move. As a spirit beast, the aura of the superior could be suppressed into their bones. At this time, he looked at Guying as if he was looking at a top-level monster, making it tremble from the bottom of his heart. So Xiaobai only dared to make a sound and call twice to see if Guying was fine.
But soon, the terrifying aura on Gu Ying's body gradually dissipated, and Gu Ying's body began to fall down ahead.
Xiaobai then broke free from the oppression and hurriedly jumped out of the bed to check Gu Ying's physical condition.
"Hu...hu...hu...hu..." Just as Xiaobai walked to Gu Ying, he heard the sound of this guy snoring, and it was deafening.
