Chapter 186 Border Town

early morning.

Gu Xia and his party got up early and went to the Western Market of Liuhuo County to buy some good horses. Then they followed Xuanli's footprints on the road and chased them.

Three days later.

Yundiao Town, a small town on the border of Daqian, welcomed four guests.

Gu Xia found that the mysterious energy mark of the paper spider on the ground had completely disappeared. It was unknown whether the talisman had expired or was put away by Taoist Pink Skull.

It happened to have rained here in the past two days, and no clues could be found.

"The traces of Taoist Pink Skull end here. He may be hiding here. Let's go in and investigate."

"Okay." Huiming and the others responded.

Four people rode into Yun Diao Town.

At this moment, a carriage slowly drove out of the town.

The carriage is not luxurious, but the decoration is very exquisite. A string of silver wind chimes hangs at each corner, which jingles melodiously when the breeze blows.

Soon the carriage passed by the four people. At this time, there was a creak and the window was opened.

Inside the carriage sat a veiled woman, dressed in gorgeous black clothes, with carefully woven black hair, and a gold and silver crown.

They were dressed up as if they were getting married, but this was obviously not a wedding car.

Of course, Gu Xia didn't care how others traveled, so he didn't care.

However, the woman turned her head and glanced at Gu Xia.

"Um?"

The woman was wearing a veil and her true appearance could not be seen clearly, but Gu Xia felt that she seemed to be smiling.

The two groups of people met only for an instant, and after a few moments the carriage moved away along the road.

Gu Xia turned back to look at the carriage. Huiming saw it and asked, "What's wrong with Gu Donor?"

"Nothing, let's go."

…

Another hour later.

Several people gathered in an inn.

Yan Nichang: "I have inquired about it. This place is close to the deserted mountains and forests and is rich in mink fur and some mountain products, so there are not many outsiders coming here on weekdays. They are all businessmen who come here frequently.

If there were real faces here, it would be easier to find them. "

Gu Xia: "I also went to the government office in the town. The mayor of this place, Chen Bu, knew that demons might have sneaked in, and he had promised to send people to help investigate.

He also ordered people to block the entrances and exits of the town and stop suspicious people if they saw them. "

After a while, several government officials and police officers came to see him.

The leader of the catchers bowed and said: "Heroes, we are here to help you find the demon path under the orders of the mayor."

Gu Xia and others were all neat and tidy people, so they immediately started searching Yun Diao Town together with the government officials who knew the place well.

Because I didn't want to alert the enemy, I didn't gather troops and post notices with great fanfare.

However, considering that Pink Skull Taoist is a soul master who controls things, with his soul power, he can easily confuse mortals using illusions.

That way, he could completely disguise himself as a local without being discovered.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, several people had to enter each house and search them carefully.

In order to improve efficiency, the four of them separately led people to search.

However, even though this border town is remote, there are still thousands of people and more than a thousand households, so searching one by one is still too slow.

…

evening.

The four people who found nothing returned to the inn.

"If this continues, it will take at least ten days to search the entire town. If the pink-skull Taoist has already run away, it will be in vain for us to wait." Lu Xiu complained at the table.

Yan Nichang: "But these are the only clues we know. If we don't search here, where can we go?"

Lu Xiu added: "Maybe the pink-skull Taoist priest didn't come here at all, and had long ago fled elsewhere to harm innocent women."

What he meant by this was that he was questioning whether Gu Xia had taken him the wrong way. After all, Gu Xia never said how he tracked it.

Others can naturally understand what he means.

However, Huiming had an epiphany because of the Buddha's treasure, and now he is completely on Gu Xia's side.

Therefore, Huiming did not follow his intention and question Gu Xia.

He just said: "I believe in the ability of the ancient benefactor. The demon should have been here before."

Lu Xiu: "What if? If the demon escapes, I don't know how many people will suffer! Can someone bear this responsibility?"

"Senior brother..." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yan Nishang quickly stopped him and stopped him from saying anything else.

Gu Xia, who had been silent all this time, said calmly: "If you two don't want to look for me, you can leave."

He has never asked three people to help him complete the task. He can track the Pink Skull Taoist alone.

Moreover, Lu Xiu made a mistake. Gu Xia was different from the three of them. He had no chivalrous heart and no guilt for the people of Qianshui County.

Gu Xia came to slay demons just to complete the task and get the Moon Spirit Pure Heart Flower. He didn't care whether innocent people were harmed.

Even if Pink Skull Taoist escaped, he would only regret the 1,000 taels of security deposit he paid.

Gu Xia would not be so stubborn as to keep tracking Taoist Pink Skull, and he would escape. At worst, Gu Xia would personally go to Qianshui County to "get" the Yueling Qingxin plant.

"You... were kind enough to help, but you were treated like a donkey. Junior sister, let's go."

Lu Xiu didn't want to care about this matter, so he came with his junior sister. He was a little annoyed when he heard this, but due to Gu Xia's terrifying strength, he didn't dare to have an attack, so he just wanted to leave.

"Senior brother, you can go back by yourself. I will continue to search with Mr. Gu. If the demon is not eliminated, I will not be able to feel at ease."

Yan Nishang has a heroic heart and does not want to give up halfway.

Lu Xiu: "What? Junior sister, there are not many injustices in the world, and there are countless demons. What can you do about it? What's more, they don't need our help."

Yan Nishang said firmly: "I can't manage everything, but I can manage one thing at a time! I can kill any demons and monsters I can. This has nothing to do with Mr. Gu, I just want peace of mind."

What she said was from the bottom of her heart.

But it sounded different in Lu Xiu's ears.

He thought: "Damn it! Junior sister, you actually favor him!

Just because he has a sect background and is stronger than me, you want to cling to him?

Could it be that you are also a vulgar and snobbish woman, junior sister!"

Once a person has prejudice, he can't go back.

Lu Xiu was very disappointed with his junior sister, but after years of getting along, he still chose to stay.

"Forget it, Master asked me to take care of you, junior sister, when he was alive. How could I leave alone?"

The dispute subsided and the few people quickly dispersed.

...

Gu Xia returned to the room.

He wanted to close his eyes and practice for a while, but he sat cross-legged for a long time and couldn't concentrate.

"Huh..."

Gu Xia sighed and stopped practicing. Instead, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed and meditated.

In the past few days, he was often inexplicably irritable and restless, as if there was a stone pressing on his heart.

"What is coming will eventually come! However, in what form will it appear in front of me this time..."

Unconsciously, Gu Xia's consciousness gradually slowed down and he fell asleep.

After a long time, he opened his eyes.

"This is! The blood sea!"

Gu Xia was shocked to find that the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

He appeared in the boundless blood sea for the third time.

The first time was a dream of entering the blood sea, and the second time was dragged into the blood sea by the shadow crocodile to fight.

What about this time?

Gu Xia felt it, and his consciousness was hazy, as if covered by a layer of gauze, and he could not wake up.

It seems that this time is the same as the first time, it is a dream of entering the blood sea.
