Chapter 56 Burning the Inn
However, this Sanchali is still quite big. Although there is no tall city wall, there is only a dilapidated earthen wall, and most of the people and inns do not live in the earthen wall, but are scattered around it. In the middle of the town
There were several large streets, three horizontal and three vertical, with a constant flow of people, which surprised Guo Fei.
"I remembered!" Hu Xiaoyue shouted immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"The southeast of here leads to the Kingdom of Wei, the capital of King Zhao is to the south, and Heishi County is to the southwest. There are three major roads in front of it, so it is called Sanchali. A hundred years ago, my family went to the 'Black Rock Highlands' to make a living.
I have been here before." Zhao Xue said in a deep voice.
"Since you are familiar with the terrain here, we don't need to find anyone to ask for directions. Haha." Guo Fei said with a smile.
The hotels here are much worse than those in Wusong Town. Guo Fei and his wife chose a hotel called "Qingliudian". It faces the official road in front and Daxi in the back. Hundreds of weeping willows line the door and brambles and hazel fences fall.
Surrounded by hundreds of guest rooms, with reed curtains and spacious stables, it can be considered a relatively large hotel.
Guo Fei originally wanted two rooms, but Hu Xiaoyue disagreed because it cost too much.
"Master, it is the slave's duty to serve you. How can a slave live separately from the master? Besides, we don't know when the assassin will break out. Aren't you worried that the slave will be killed by the assassin?" Hu Xiaoyue said angrily and shyly.
After such a long period of "exercise", Guo Fei has basically become immune to her charm. However, Guo Fei is also worried that after being exposed to it for a long time, his mood has gradually strengthened, but his vision has also gradually increased.
Beautiful women, in my own eyes, are probably as vulgar and unattractive.
"This little beauty, please don't make me unable to find a wife!" Guo Fei sighed in his heart.
In the previous life, this delicate girl who looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old flower might have been arrested by the police if she slept with him. In this world, no one checks the household registration or registers the identity, and there is no police to control a room.
Just one room. Guo Fei suddenly felt a little confused in time and space, but Guo Fei still asked for a suite with two beds. If he really stayed in one room, it would not be about sleeping but a test of concentration.
After dinner, according to custom, Guo Fei wanted to take a hot bath, but the waiter told him that there was no hot water. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He also asked if there was a horse market here and got rid of one of his extra blood horses. As a result, the waiter
Tell Guo Fei that there is a livestock market here, but they only trade mules and horses for farmland. I am afraid no one will buy such precious blood horses.
"It seems that we can only deal with it when we get to Blackstone County!"
Although his cultivation is constantly improving now and he won't be as sleepy as in his previous life if he sleeps less, Guo Fei still likes the living habits of his previous life and needs to go to bed on time at night.
Guo Fei put the Black Iron Sword on his head and fell asleep. He liked this Black Iron Sword more and more now and rarely put it into the weapon space because it was better at sensing danger than Guo Fei.
I'm much more perceptive.
Guo Fei learned from the book "The Refining of the Way of Instruments" that a weapon is a killing object and is extremely sensitive to murderous intent. Therefore, once there is a murderous intent that has ill intentions towards its owner, it will be more sensitive than a monk.
And as it continues to evolve, it can also fight back independently.
Hu Xiaoyue saw that Guo Fei fell asleep not long after lying down, and she was a little disappointed. She didn't have the habit of falling asleep, so she sat cross-legged by the window and breathed slowly in front of the starry sky. This was the habit of their demon clan, absorbing the energy between heaven and earth.
The essence of the sun and moon tempers the body and condenses the demon elixir.
"Kang Langlang!" Xuan Tiejian murmured softly, suddenly awakening Guo Fei. Hu Xiaoyue also opened her eyes and looked at Xuan Tiejian with a look of surprise on her face.
"Boom!" A violent heat wave hit us. The windows and doors were suddenly blasted open by the heat wave. Balls of flames "squeezed" into the room. All the items in the room were on fire instantly, and the flames headed straight towards Guo Fei and Guo Fei.
Hu Xiaoyue attacked.
"Master, be careful!" Hu Xiaoyue shouted, her body suddenly spun up, and she spat out a mouthful of blue water mist to protect Guo Fei. At the same time, the ice spider ribbon in her hand danced like a goddess scattering flowers.
Swirl to sweep away the flames.
Guo Fei was protected by the airflow formed by Hu Xiaoyue's water energy, and at the moment when the flames coming from his face were blocked from his body, Guo Fei immediately turned into a ninja, leaned over and picked up the black iron sword, and his figure turned into a stream of light.
Rush forward along the flame channel pushed by Hu Xiaoyue's Ice Spider Mysterious Ribbon.
Hu Xiaoyue spun two ribbons, then protected Guo Fei and rushed out of the flurry of fire snakes.
The two people jumped out of the sea of fire and looked around. They saw that the neighboring rooms were safe and sound, but the room they were in was enveloped in raging fire. It was obvious that someone was plotting against them.
"Eh!" Guo Fei was startled. He looked carefully at the flames, and there seemed to be something jumping. This object was hidden in the sea of fire. It was about the size of a squirrel, and its whole body was spraying orange-red flames. Wherever it went, flames suddenly burst out.
It is ten feet high and everything it encounters burns.
"Fire beast soul!" Hu Xiaoyue's expression changed and she said in a deep voice.
"Could it be a squirrel monster?" Guo Fei said to himself.
"Giggle." Hu Xiaoyue laughed. "Master, that's not a squirrel, it's a being like me."
"Fox!" Guo Fei said in surprise.
At this time, the hotel owner and his waiters began to put out the fire. Guo Fei stared at the beast soul. The beast soul seemed slightly alert and gradually disappeared into the flames. The beast soul disappeared, and the flames suddenly became weaker, showing that it was
The soul of the beast is the source of fire.
Guo Fei's heart became heavy, and the fear of the unknown suddenly occupied his heart. What is this thing? It is so terrible that it can actually ignite a fire all over the sky.
Hu Xiaoyue also looked nervous, as if she wanted to say something to Guo Fei, but people were moving around and it was a mess. Even the li commander came with a group of soldiers, and now it was no longer the place to talk.
The fire spread uncontrollably, and the entire hotel was destroyed. The boss jumped to his feet and cried anxiously when he saw the fire. If the waiter hadn't held him tightly, he would have rushed in.
Fortunately, there was a separation between the stables and the hotel rooms, so the horses were not burned. Guo Fei took the horses, pulled over the boy, gave him a silver coin for the room, and then left the hotel with Hu Xiaoyue.
"Master, I suspect that the person who assassinated us just now was from the Fire Fox tribe." The two of them left a distance and walked along the market town. Hu Xiaoyue approached Guo Fei and whispered.
"Fire Fox Clan!" Guo Fei's heart moved. He heard Zhao Xue mention that the Fire Fox Clan seemed to be in the south of Zhao State, and Zhao Xue seemed to have visited the Fire Fox Clan.
"It must be the Fire Fox Clan." Hu Xiaoyue showed a trace of hatred. Then she said in a deep voice: "The Fire Fox Clan lives at the junction of Zhao State and Wei State, in a valley in the northwest of Wanku Mountain, called the Red River Valley. There are rich products and spiritual resources there.
There are many spirit fruits in the tree, which is suitable for seclusion for cultivation. In fact, two hundred years ago, our White Fox clan lived there."
"Oh, then why were they seized?" Guo Fei said in surprise.
"Where did our family thrive? We lived in seclusion in the Red River Valley for generations, living in peace with the human race. Five hundred years ago, the Fire Fox tribe in the Black Rock Highlands suddenly moved their entire family and entered the Wanku Mountains to survive. Later, they coveted our living place and colluded with the Zhao Kingdom.
The lords near Wankuo Mountain made a sneak attack on our white fox clan.
We were defeated, and all the clan leaders and elders were killed in the battle. The remaining clan members fled in all directions and were forced to live in exile near Wanku Mountain. They were still worried and sent clansmen to hunt us down. I have been fleeing since I was a child to avoid the White Fox clan.
My family took our brothers and sisters to escape here and took refuge in the Black Rock Highlands. After fifty years, we secretly returned to the Wanku Mountain to look for other tribesmen. Unfortunately, all the tribesmen were killed and injured, and there were not many left.
Over the years, we have been planning revenge, but the Fire Fox tribe has grown day by day. They have a close relationship with a lord in the south of the Zhao country, and they did not hesitate to offer the transformed fox girl to the human lord to open up the relationship. I heard that the auxiliary of the south of the Zhao country
One of the concubines of the Duke is the daughter of the leader of the Fire Fox clan, and she is deeply favored by the Duke.
The Fire Fox tribe has obtained a lot of resources by relying on the human lords. It has developed rapidly in the past hundred years and has dozens of masters at the level of demon guards. I heard that several low-level demon generals have been born." Riding on the horse, Hu Xiaoyue complained to herself.
.
The level of the demon guards is at the same level as the human qi monks, but in fact it is different. The demon demon guards have formed demon pills, which are much stronger than the human qi monks. Moreover, the attack power of different beast species is also very different.
.What the human race relies on are weapons, spells and advanced martial arts. Only when you reach the Wuzong level and practice advanced martial arts can you be no weaker than the monks of the same level as the demon clan.
"How is the cultivation of the fox demon who attacked us just now?" Guo Fei said calmly.
"If you haven't reached the level of Demon General, I guess you are still at the advanced level of Demon Guard, which is close to perfection!" Hu Xiaoyue said with a hint of worry.
