Book 1: Chapter 6: Into Mang Mountain (1/2)
On the official road of the Shangxuan Kingdom, two people rushed side by side.
The former person maybe not an expert on equestrianism, but everyone could see that he has received specialized equestrian training and could control the horse skillfully.
The latter man seemed a bit awkward. He seemed very uncomfortable with horseback. He didn’t know how to use horse ropes to steer the horses. He didn’t dare to let the horses run-up, thus he only dared to let it walk slowly. Everyone could see that he’s a novice on horseback.
“Brother Tang.”
Bai Qiuran, who was falling behind, shouted:
“Please wait for me.”
Right before the night fell, the two entered the small town next to Mang Mountain. Tang Wei found a vacant inn in the town, and the two settled for the time being.
Although not feeling any tiredness at all, Bai Qiuran immediately ordered a table with good wine and dishes to reward his stomach, while Tang Wei ran to the innkeeper and asked him about the demon.
“The demons of the Mang Mountain?”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper of this inn immediately frowned.
“Ah, it has really been very fierce recently. Many people in several villages and towns nearby have been killed. I heard that the demon acted very fast. When it attacked people, others could only see a dark shadow, and people who were attacked were dead without corpses. It was not afraid of people at all. They acted during both the day and night. There were many martial artists who went to kill the demons, but they did not return. We did not know when it will come to our town to catch people. I hope those immortals who live on the mountain can manage it. ”
“No need for them.”
Tang Wei raised an eyebrow and said:
“We mortals must rely on ourselves.”
“Do you want to get rid of the demon?”
The shopkeeper pointed to several tables in the inn, and on those tables were some people who looked like martial artists.
“Then I suggest that you can discuss with those experts. With the wealth and the reputation of being heroes who kill the demon, I think they should agree to go together with you. The demon is very dangerous, so don’t kill yourself. ”
“Haven’t the government here issued a reward order for demons?”
Tang Wei raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Of course not. Now that the Emperor is obsessed with immortality, he has no care about the lives and deaths of grassroots like us.”
The shopkeeper turned the ledger and lowered his head and said:
“The government’s money now has to be supplied to the alchemy of the spiritual advisor. They haven’t had time to squeeze the people. Where would they be willing to take out the money to ask people to remove demons? We haven’t counted on the government of Shangxuan Kingdom since long ago.”
Tang Wei returned to the table in silence. Bai Qiuran, who was pouring wine, saw his face and asked:
“What’s wrong? Brother Tang, your face doesn’t look very good, is that demon terrible?”
“It’s amazing.”
Tang Wei returned to God and did not tell him anything about the government, but said:
“Bai Qiuran, after taking you to the horse market tomorrow to sell the horse, let’s go our separate ways.”
“Oh?”
Bai Qiuran put down the jug and asked:
“Why? I’m going to Mang Mountain too.”
“Because I’m going to deal with my own business.”
Tang Wei replied:
“Bai Qiuran, listen to my advice, after all, you just go to Mang Mountain to collect the medicine. After you have finished the medicine, you should go away. The demon in the mountain is also a very dangerous thing, even for a martial arts master like us. Don’t go if you still want to live. ”
“Since Brother Tang insists so, so be it.”
Bai Qiuran was not an inflexible man, he just wanted to have a companion along the way. Since the other party made it clear that he wanted him to leave, of course, he wouldn’t insist on it.
“Brother Tang.”
