Chapter 353

Take out the raincoat and put it on, slowly restraining the outgoing true energy. Zhao Jue's face was not good, and he carried the body of the shadow play to the side of the earth pit.

"Well, go well. Although what you brought is not good news..."

Stepping on the puddle to put the body into the coffin, find the coffin board next to it and cover it, and finally fill the soil. Zhao Jue is very familiar with the whole process.

Flattening and stepping on the loose soil, he stared at the land beaten by rain, shook his head, and his thoughts turned into a long sigh.

"Well."

Put away the shovel and leave in a hurry.

In his opinion, the truth accounted for the majority of what the shadow play said at the end. It is true that there is a grandmaster in Jiangnan, but it is not clear what the grandmaster's purpose in coming to Jiangnan is.

I hope it is not for Liu Zhiyuan. Zhao Jue silently hopes in his heart.

This news was known too late. Judging from Lu Wenyu's efficiency in the previous few times, let alone early preparation, he was considered a human being if he could see him before his death!

The only thing he could find out was that Wangshu was a woman. It would be better to kneel down and admit defeat than to rely on him!

With a thousand thoughts in his mind and a solemn expression on his face, Zhao hurriedly ran north in the rain.

When the rain stopped, the sky was slightly bright. The continuous drizzle all night made the white fog hazy, and everything in front of him was blurry and unclear.

From dark to dawn, Zhao didn't know how long he had walked, or even whether he had gone in the wrong direction.

He found a tall tree and jumped on the treetop to distinguish the east, south, west and north. He found that although the white fog was lingering, the direction was not wrong and he was still walking north.

What made him even more happy was that he could vaguely see the shape of the house in the white fog. With some uncertainty, he observed carefully for a while and found that he was indeed not wrong. There was indeed a trace of a house not far away, and it was densely connected. It looked like a town, just at the foot of the mountain farther away.

"Hu" exhaled a turbid breath, and Zhao smiled with relief.

"Let's take a break first, we'll have to go up the mountain later. Maybe there are pursuers behind us, so we must be well rested to deal with emergencies."

He turned back and focused on the way he came, so as to avoid being pursued by the pursuers behind him. After being motionless for a long time, he still felt uneasy without finding anything unusual, so he simply stayed a little longer, and it was still calm and safe.

He was relieved and jumped off the treetop to rush to the town.

The further he walked, the weirder it felt. Before he entered the town, he had already sensed several waves of true qi.

He hurriedly stopped and sensed carefully, and found that there were more than 20 waves of true qi. There were strong and weak ones, one grade, two grade, and three grade, and the second grade was the majority, at least more than 50%.

"What happened? How come there are so many martial artists in this broken place?"

Zhao frowned, his eyes focused on the outline of the house in the distance.

This scene was too horrifying. A bunch of martial artists gathered together, they wouldn't be chatting and discussing martial arts, right? Something must have happened!

I wanted to change the route to avoid it, but when the thought sank into the space, I had to give up. It was nothing. After two days of fleeing, the food and drink in the space were almost exhausted. If I didn't replenish it, I was afraid that I would have to rely on hunting to survive after going up the mountain.

"Cat, isn't this the Dragon King meeting Sun Wukong?"

He covered his face and thought about it, and finally decided to go into the town. I can't be without food and drink, otherwise I have to show up without assassins looking for me.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and walked into the town with his hands behind his back. While walking slowly, he changed his appearance.

Facing unknown situations, it is better to be careful.

It took more than a quarter of an hour for Zhao to stagger into the town. When his footsteps landed on the stone road, he was even more confused.

Because with just the first step, he felt that several pairs of prying eyes fell on him. Although it was only a short moment, it was clear and clear.

What made him even more strange was that there were several pairs of eyes that stared at him without even disguising it, even if Zhao turned his head to look at them, they would not look back.

Moreover, most of these eyes were looking at him and examining him. Only a few obscure eyes carried lingering murderous intent.

Those strange eyes made him doubt whether his appearance after dressing up or changing was very strange.

"It's really strange..."

With an unclear mood, Zhao lowered his head and walked into an inn in a muffled voice.

When he pushed open the door and walked in, he was almost startled. The small lobby of the inn was densely packed with people. Seeing someone coming in, the people sitting turned their heads and looked at him unkindly, from head to toe, and then from toe to head.

He had gotten used to it along the way, so he simply ignored everyone's gazes and waved and said with a smile: "Boss, do you have any guest rooms? I want to stay for a few nights."

A middle-aged man stood up from behind the counter when he heard the voice, and greeted with a stiff smile: "Sir, there are guest rooms, but, only the upper room, I don't know..."

"No problem, just the upper room!" Zhao said indifferently with a big wave of his hand.

Then he looked around at everyone and asked loudly: "Boss, are these all candidates going to Beijing to take the imperial examination?"

Everyone's face changed slightly, chuckled a few times, and turned their heads one after another. The shopkeeper smiled much better, and asked with a bow: "Young man, are you going to Beijing to take the imperial examination?"

"That's right." When speaking, Zhao showed a trace of pride on his face, although it was pretended, but pretended to be decent.

"Oh, oh, oh, congratulations to the young man on his success!"

"Thanks to your good words!" Zhao said in return.

After handing over the silver, he followed the shopkeeper upstairs. As he walked, he asked curiously, "Boss, why are there so many people in this small town?"

When the topic was brought up, the shopkeeper's face became more bitter, and he shook his head and complained: "Alas, brother, you don't know. There weren't many people in this town originally, and only the travelers from the south and the north stopped here to rest."

"But I don't know what happened in the past few days. People kept coming into the town, and one or two of them even carried swords. Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhao said with a happy face: "Business is booming, what are you unhappy about, shopkeeper?"

"Oh my, brother, you are really wrong."

The shopkeeper refused again and again, "These people are not easy to serve, and they look fierce. They want to kill people with swords when the price is raised. Merchants usually take a detour, so, let alone prosperity in the past few days, it has become a little cold."

"If it weren't for you staying in the hotel, there would be no customers in the upper room for several days!"

Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

No wonder the shopkeeper had a stiff smile before. No one would be able to smile when they met a group of sticky people. But there must be a reason why so many warriors gathered in such a small town, right?

He would never believe that he could move the hearts of warriors and make them gather together without any reason.

So he lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "There must be a reason for gathering here, right?"

The shopkeeper paused and waved his hand helplessly.

"I really don't know."
