Chapter 692: Rumors About Strange Beasts
Qing Chunhua did not expect that the strange shopkeeper would speak so sharply. In just a few words, she did not know how to answer. She did have this consideration.
If the shopkeeper was not a bad person and saved her with good intentions, but she was suspicious, and finally did not seek to repay her kindness but left, it would be a big mistake. If the master knew, he would definitely punish her severely.
Qing Chunhua saw that Li Changxiao was smiling, and vaguely saw a bit of teasing, which was clearly a carefree attitude of "You still suspect and doubt, I don't care." Even if she hesitated in her heart, she was angry for no reason. She thought: "Do you want me to be angry because you saved me?" She said: "Humph, this is called emergency avoidance, my life is the most important, when I become more powerful in the future, you come to me again, or I come to you again, I will repay you."
After that, she pulled Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan out of the inn without eating the food on the table. Li Changxiao smiled helplessly, thinking that he hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time. Did he look like a bad person?
He reminded: "Okay, okay, if you want to go, I can't stop you, but it's better not to go northwest, where strange beasts roam, it's very dangerous."
Qing Chunhua replied: "Hypocritical." She walked faster, but after walking a few miles, she couldn't help feeling uneasy, and couldn't help thinking again: "Is he really a bad guy?"
She didn't know how she felt. After all, she was a rookie, and when she thought about problems, she always gradually revolved around herself. She was thinking, if the shopkeeper was a good person and saved her sincerely, she would definitely make him sad by doing this.
When he was sad, he would be sad, and he would not do other things well after being sad. The more Qing Chunhua thought about it, the more serious it became. Li Changxiao's face, which was silently sad and unhappy, appeared in her mind. It was as if she had pushed the shopkeeper in white into hell. She felt guilty and doubted.
But after walking a few more miles, he felt relieved again. He felt that the world was so big, and that small inn was just a small wave among thousands of adventures. Why should he miss it for too long?
Besides, as an innkeeper, he often encountered strange guests, and they all regarded him as an ungrateful weird guest. Qing Chunhua did not hate Li Changxiao at all, but was mostly afraid and terrified.
She walked on the road and chatted with the little servant beside her. Qu Xiaochan enviously said: "Miss, you have only learned martial arts for a few years, but you are so powerful."
Liu Ju said: "That skinny old man, fighting alone, is not Miss's opponent at all, but he is very angry."
Qing Chunhua smiled and said: "Of course, but it's not me who is powerful, but my master." Qu Xiaochan asked: "Miss, is your master the woman who stayed at home ten years ago?"
Qing Chunhua nodded slightly, and was about to answer when she saw a fork in the road ahead. One leads to the northwest and the other leads to the east. Looking towards the east road, the road is long, straight and wide. Looking towards the west, the road is narrow and difficult to walk on, with weeds growing everywhere. There may be poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere.
The three stopped at the fork in the road. Qing Chunhua was about to take the east road, but suddenly thought: "The place I want to go to, just go forward, whether to the west or the east, you can get there. But the shopkeeper told us not to go northwest, saying that there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the northwest."
"I have to go northwest, isn't it inconvenient to know whether the shopkeeper is good or bad? Besides, I can kill demons and monsters on the way. With my martial arts, I can do some good things for the people, so it's not a waste."
Qing Chunhua is very competitive in her heart. It happened that she was worried about the inn. Although she pretended to be free and easy, she was actually secretly keeping it in mind. It was a rare opportunity to verify. If she didn't verify it, she was afraid that she would leave a knot in her heart.
Although the way of warriors is not to "cultivate the mind", the mentality and character are still very important. Master Qing Chunhua once warned her that the path of a warrior was born from the reform of a cultivator. The era of reform has long ended, but warriors are still the most suitable path for mortals to prolong their lives and for mortals to become warriors.
Regardless of whether the times allow it or not, someone must move forward, and at this time, the mind is the top priority. Strong power will magnify the nature of the human heart. If the mind is not open, the power will become a cage.
Master Qing Chunhua also warned her disciples that if anyone does evil in the future, she will kill them personally, and there will be no possibility of holding back. In Qing Chunhua's heart, the master is both strict and gentle.
Qing Chunhua once asked the master a question in a joking way, asking her about the master's martial arts, which seemed to be different from everyone else. The moves of ordinary warriors, when used by the master, are not only powerful, but can also turn decay into magic. What if she becomes bad herself?
At that time, her master just smiled and told Qing Chunhua that her fate was different from everyone else's. Money, reputation, and status were not in her eyes, let alone disturbing her heart. She could not possibly become bad. Moreover, if she really became bad, there would be someone in the world who could control her.
Qing Chunhua felt very bored. At that time, she only felt that her master was the best in the world and did not believe that anyone could subdue her. The past flashed by in an instant, and Qing Chunhua had already set foot on the northwest road.
Going to the inn.
Li Changxiao cleaned up the tableware, raised his head and smiled, and said that this girl's character was really hard to say. Whatever, whatever, she didn't listen to the advice, and she would suffer.
Walking more than ten miles to the northwest, the boots of the three people were all stained with mud. Fortunately, Qing Chunhua, Liu Ju, and Qu Xiaochan all wore long boots, which were suitable for walking on the forest path.
The sky gradually darkened, birds and insects kept chirping, and waves of gloomy air appeared in the mountains and fields. Qing Chunhua panicked for no reason, and felt regretful. Liu Ju worked quickly, and when he saw it was getting dark, he started to make a fire.
The fire illuminated a place, and the three of them finally settled down and planned to rest here. Looking up at the sky, it was starry tonight, very beautiful.
Qing Chunhua said: "Now that wars are raging everywhere, I have learned martial arts, so I should take on important responsibilities and do things that ordinary people can't do."
Liu Ju said: "Okay!" Qu Xiaochan agreed: "Okay."
Qing Chunhua added: "I have just started traveling, but I heard on the way that monsters and strange beasts are emerging one after another. They are very scary. If we encounter them later, you two should hide behind me."
Liu Ju said: "Miss, when it comes to strange beasts, I'm afraid I'm more familiar with it than you are. This thing is too weird and difficult to deal with. My father used to be a handyman in the Zhang family manor. One day, the manor owner brought back a strange little snake. The manor owner thought it was A rare thing, so I tried to feed it and found this beast They don’t eat meat, they only drink blood, and they feed it every day. One day, my father had to go out on errands. When he came back, he saw more than 40 people in the Zhang family manor. It was eaten clean by a strange beast, it was that strange little snake!”
"The snake was shedding its skin at the time, and my father saved his life. Later he entered the Qing Mansion, and now, I am here to serve you, young lady."
As they spoke, Qing Chunhua and Qu Xiaochan both felt a chill. Qing Chunhua cursed, "How come there are so many of these things in my human race's world? It's so terrifying."
