The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 363 Grassland Cavalry
Lu Qian saw Duan Zhouzhao and Yin Shijia looking like they had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you see?"

After asking this question, they stayed for a while before Duan Zhouzhao reacted and said: "Cavalry, many cavalry, overwhelming, are charging towards us."

"Iron Cavalry?"

Lu Qian listened and looked north again, but still saw nothing.

Sudden--

Heads suddenly appeared on the northern horizon.

These heads, wearing iron helmets, were suspended in the air, floating rapidly southward.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qiandeng immediately remembered that they had passed through a canyon when they were in Lone Wolf Ridge.

In the canyon, they saw a cavalry army plundering people.

Those cavalry, horses, and people are extremely real when viewed with the naked eye.

But in fact, these are not real things, but illusions condensed by Yin Qi.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian suddenly understood what the scene in front of him was about.

The large number of cavalry that Duan Zhouzhao and the two saw were obviously illusions.

And Lu Qian's spiritual eyes can see through illusions and restore reality.

Therefore, he could only see the running zombie wolves, but not the cavalry army chasing behind.

Lu Qian's own night vision ability with his naked eyes is actually not very strong, at least not as good as Duan and Yin's.

If the night is too dark and the distance is too far, he will not be able to see it with the naked eye.

These zombie wolves are real, and they were probably frightened by the phantom cavalry army behind them, and they fled for their lives.

As for those heads that appear out of thin air...

Lu Qian speculated that those should be the source of these illusions.

In other words, as long as these heads are knocked off, the illusion should disappear.

"What...what should we do? Let's...let's go in quickly."

Yin Shijia was obviously frightened, and her words were trembling.

Duan Zhouzhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "It's useless, these houses can't withstand such an army of cavalry..."

As he said that, Duan Zhouzhao looked at Yin Shijia with a desperate look on his face, and said with a bitter smile: "Junior sister, we should never, never should, come to this ghost place, let alone come at night."

After hearing Duan Zhouzhao's words, Yin Shijia's face turned slightly red.

It seemed that Yin Shijia's request for them to break into the Wuqin Grassland this time was probably due to their strong will.

However, at this time, Yin Shijia could no longer think about these things. She held Duan Zhouzhao's hand with both hands and said anxiously: "Brother, please think of a solution quickly. What should we do?
You... think of a solution quickly. Aren't you the manager of Linglong Inn? "

Her last words were to Lu Qian.

Duan Zhouzhao woke up immediately after being reminded by his junior sister. He also turned to look at Lu Qian, with the fire of hope rekindled in his eyes.

The people in their Linglong Inn are based in the grasslands and should have experience in dealing with this kind of thing.

Lu Qian said: "Go in, you will be fine once you enter the house."

Duan Zhouzhao looked at Lu Qian with a suspicious look on his face. He didn't quite believe what Lu Qian said, "It'll be fine once you enter the house." But seeing Lu Qian's words so confidently, he couldn't help but have a little doubt about his own thoughts.

Moreover, they really have no other choice at the moment.

Turn around and run south?

Not to mention whether there will be ghosts and monsters intercepting them along the way, just looking at the speed of these cavalry armies in the north, in their current state, they will definitely not be able to outrun them.

Thinking of this, Duan Zhouzhao gritted his teeth and led his junior sister into Linglong Inn.

The two came to the lobby and pushed open the door.

Seeing them go in, Lu Qian took out two sheets of "Shen Tu Yu Lei" and stuck them on the door, then followed them in and closed the door.

Even if those cavalry armies were all ghosts and were protected by "Shentu Yulei", he didn't have to be afraid.

In the hall, the lights are bright.

The hall with hundreds of people was silent at this time.

As soon as Lu Qian entered the door, hundreds of eyes turned to him.

There was surprise, doubt, and even a hint of admiration in those eyes.

Duan Zhouzhao and Yin Shijia, who had entered the house first, were standing at the door.

They stood there motionless, looking at the people in front of them, their faces full of anger.

Seeing them so angry, Lu Qian felt a little strange.

But after thinking about it, he understood.

When Duan Zhouzhao and Duan Zhouzhao were in trouble outside, they screamed for help, but no one came out to save them except Lu Qian.

They thought that there would be no one in the house, so no one went out to rescue them.

However, when they walked in, they saw that the lobby was packed with people.

Moreover, there are many familiar faces among them.

Hundreds of sect disciples were sitting in the high hall, but no one went out to rescue the two Qingxuan Temple disciples.

How can this make them not angry?
Yu Shuilong, the leader of Hantan Mountain, was the first to wake up. He smiled awkwardly and said to the two of them: "Are they Duan and Yin, the nephews of Qingxuan Temple? We just heard their cries for help. We were originally planning to go out for rescue. Yes. But the manager of Linglong Inn said that they are responsible for the safety here, so..."

Yu Shuilong originally wanted to blame Lu Qian, and what he said was true.

But when Duan and Yin heard these words, they didn't have the same taste.

Duan Zhouzhao opened his mouth, but before he could utter a single word, Yin Shijia started speaking directly: "Who is your nephew?
Why are the people at Linglong Inn who are out of reach willing to go out to rescue them, but you, the head disciples of the sect, are just watching?

If he fails to save us and we die outside, are you going to explain it to our elders at Qingxuan Temple like this? "

Yin Shijia, a junior, showed no mercy when facing a master like Shui Long.

After hearing this, everyone in Hantan Mountain suddenly showed a look of anger on their faces.

Yu Shuilong's expression also changed, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

In the final analysis, they were at fault for this matter.

And as Yin Shijia said, if they died outside, how should they explain to Yu Shuilong?

But... I can't really blame them for this.

They are ready to take action.

But Lu Qian killed too fast. Before they had time to move, the fighting was already finished outside.

Then what do they do when they go out?
But, how should I say these words?
Yu Shuilong's face turned blue and white, looking extremely ugly.

He was the majestic head of Hantan Mountain, a great master of the fourth-grade Cave Underworld Realm. He was refuted by a junior in front of so many sect disciples, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Seeing this, Jiang Luo from Jiucang Mountain hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Two nephews, please take a seat first. Where are you people from Qingxuan Temple? Why are you two the only ones here?"

Jiang Luo did not hesitate to underestimate his identity and gave him a step up.

It's a pity that some people just don't come down the steps.

Yin Shijia turned to look at Jiang Luo and sneered: "Palace Master Jiang is mocking us because there are so few people in Qingxuan Temple. The two of us deserve to die outside, right?"

Jiang Luo's eyes widened in shock.

Okay.

This person comes from the emotional state of mind, just to criticize people.

Jiang Luo's face turned from stunned to angry.

She glared at Yin Shijia, hummed loudly, and sat down.

Duan Zhouzhao failed to grab the conversation for the second time and had to close his open mouth.

Jiang Luo is also famous for his bad temper. If the two of them were not Qingxuan Guan, judging from her expression, they would probably end up in a fight.

"Tear" in the physical sense.

But facing Qingxuan Guan, even she had to have some scruples.

Seeing that the two big bosses, Yu Shuilong and Jiang Luo, were defeated, the people around them naturally became even more afraid to speak.

For a moment, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Monk Zhiyuan from Tianbao Temple may have felt out of control for a moment, so he went to the table to grab a small piece of pastry and put it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, such a small move of his was actually seen by Yin Shijia. She sneered and said, "Old monk, is the food at Linglong Inn so delicious?"

Even with Zhiyuan's Buddhist practice, he was almost choked by these words. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He wished he could see the Buddha on the spot.

have to.

My junior sister offended three sects to death with just three words.

Duan Zhouzhao was still thinking of finding someone to borrow money.

If this continues, Junior Sister will offend everyone. How can he open his mouth?

"You two, please take a seat first."

Lu Qian strode in and said to Duan and Yin.

Naturally, they could not refute Lu Qian's words, so they sat down at an empty table as told.

The two of them had just sat down when suddenly, there was a tremor in the ground.

This sudden vibration caused the cups and saucers on the table to jump and make a "pop" sound.

"what happened?"

"earthquake?"

"Look out the window-" "Fuck!"

Most of the people in the lobby were frightened.

Someone opened the curtain on the right side and immediately saw a large group of zombie wolves covered in corpse marks outside the window, running forward quickly.

They headed south, running desperately towards Lone Wolf Ridge.

Pay no attention to the group of low buildings that appeared next to them.

Seeing this scene, there were only some people with high status and cultivation level present. They still had a peaceful expression and were not disturbed by the zombie wolves outside.

Before the time came, everyone's hanging hearts had not yet calmed down.

Outside the window, there was a louder sound of galloping, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, pressing over with the force of thunder.

Then, an endless cavalry team appeared at the window.

All tall horses.

A knight on horseback, wearing an iron helmet and armor, carrying a scimitar at his waist, carrying a long bow on his back, and holding a large gun.

At first glance, they are elite cavalry.

Not only were these prairie cavalry more numerous, they were also faster, rolling past the window like a dark cloud with no end in sight.

Seeing this scene, a person suddenly said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, these are just illusions, not real cavalry or ghosts."

"Uh……"

As if feeling the tremor under his feet, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this also an illusion?"

The first person to say that it was an illusion outside was an old man in purple clothes from the Yingyue Sect. He said in a deep voice: "Smart illusions are what they are. Otherwise, how can you deceive others?"

At this time, another person said: "Elder Lu of Yingyue Sect is proficient in illusion. What he said cannot be wrong."

After everyone heard this, they believed it and calmed down.

Another person couldn't help but complain: "This Wuqin Grassland is really evil."

Someone laughed and said: "It's just evil. Otherwise, how could we have regarded Wuqin Grassland as a forbidden land for humans for so many years?"

While they were talking, some people couldn't help but look at Lu Qian.

Originally, most people here had only heard of various legends about Wuqin Grassland.

What I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears today is that the Wuqin Grassland is even better than the legend says.

impressive.

And the young shopkeeper of Linglong Inn has lived here all year round.

Putting aside his abilities, his courage alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"what?"

At this time, someone suddenly made a soft "eh" sound.

Everyone looked out the window and saw a small group of cavalry. They seemed to have noticed them. They stopped their galloping horses and turned to look at the window.

Through the window, everyone could see at a glance that these cavalrymen had stiff faces and blue-grey faces. They looked like zombies at first glance.

This group of cavalry seemed to have noticed them, and actually rode towards them.

They had just started, and they didn't seem to be very fast. However, in the blink of an eye, this group of dozens of cavalry arrived outside the window, looking as if they were about to get in.

Not far from the window are the seats of everyone from the Yingyue Sect.

The "Elder Lu" of the Yingyue Sect in purple stood up, took a sip of wine, opened his mouth and sprayed it towards the window.

A tongue of fire spurted out from his mouth, and a large flame sprayed out along the window.

The windows were made of wood and the thick felt "curtains" were even more flammable.However, the strange thing is that these flames spurted onto the window and did not ignite these flammable objects.

Elder Lu continued to spit out flames for a while, then stopped, and the long tongue of fire disappeared.

Outside the window, there was an empty space. The group of cavalry that had just approached outside the window had all disappeared.

Seeing this scene, someone praised him: "Elder Lu has great skills."

"Elder Lu's skill of 'breathing fire' is something that even I can't tell is true or false."

When Elder Lu was praised by everyone, he bowed his head with a red face and said with a smile: "It's just a small skill, a small skill..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a skull flew in from the window and pounced towards the back of Elder Lu's head at an incredible speed.

Almost at the same time, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a ray of white light flew out from the center of the hall, hitting the skull.

The white light penetrated the skull, shot back with him, and was nailed to the wall with a bang.

The whole body of this skull has turned black and gray, and black smoke is constantly coming out from the holes in the mouth and eyes.

It was nailed to the wall, still struggling to get free.

However, this time it was nailed very firmly, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free.

A cold voice said: "Is this also an illusion?"

Everyone looked back following the sound, only to see that it was Xiao Ran, the saint of Hantan Mountain, who had just taken action.

She was still sitting in her seat and said something without looking back.

Elder Lu immediately blushed and said, "Thank you so much, Xiao... the saint, for coming to the rescue. Is it an illusion? It's nine points virtual and one point real. This..."

The two exquisite maids, at some point, walked towards the windows with curtains on both sides of the lobby.

They drew the thick felt curtains again, and then said in unison: "I would like to inform all guests that in Linglong Inn, it is best not to open the curtains at night. No matter what is going on outside, don't pay attention to it. As long as you do this, we, Linglong The hotel will ensure your safety.

Otherwise...the store will not be responsible for any consequences caused by opening the window without authorization. "

After hearing this, everyone nodded, either willingly or unwillingly.

After the cavalry army passed by, the outside finally returned to calm.

But after Yin Shijia made such a fuss, everyone lost interest in drinking. After eating, they all left and returned to the guest room to rest.

To go back to the guest room, take the underground passage on the west side.

After these people left, the huge hall suddenly became empty, leaving only Lu Qian and Linglong.

Linglong raised her feet and walked towards Lu Qian, came to him, looked at him a few times, and said, "When did our Linglong Inn have rules responsible for the safety of guests outside the hotel?"

Lu Qian looked at Linglong and said, "I'm just short of money and it's just a last-minute idea. Boss Linglong won't mind if I do some private work, right?"

Speaking of the word "private", Lu Qian emphasized it.

"Oh?"

Linglong looked at Lu Qian for a while and said, "It turns out you were helping them because you wanted money. Do you want to... go to the ghost market to buy something for them, so you need money?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "You have personally experienced the dangers of the Five Color Mountains. Do you think the chances of them surviving entering the Five Color Mountains are high?"

Linglong said: "Every time Five Color Mountain is opened, the scene inside is different. I can't answer your question."

Lu Qian said: "So, I want to go to the ghost market to buy some ghost weapons and the like for them. It will be somewhat helpful."

Linglong's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that you actually care about them."

Lu Qian said: "Of course, my own wife, I don't care who cares."

After hearing this, Linglong curled her lips and said "cut". She didn't know whether she didn't believe Lu Qian's words or was disdainful.

Lu Qian walked closer to Linglong and said with a smile on his face: "Um...Miss Linglong, I have something I want to discuss with you..."

When Linglong saw this, she immediately put her head back and said seriously: "No need to talk about borrowing money."

After hearing this, Lu Qian frowned slightly, then returned to his smiling face and said, "That's what I said, why would I ask you to borrow money?"

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Besides borrowing money, is there anything else...what do you want to discuss with me?"

Lu Qian said: "I stay and work for you, you have to pay me wages, right?"

exquisite:"……"

Lu Qian said: "I'll advance one year's salary to you first, is that okay?"

Linglong pouted and said, "Come on, can you stay with me for a year?"

Lu Qian said: "I have to wait here for them to come out?"

Linglong said: "They can only stay there for half a year at most..."

"Then half a year."

Lu Qian immediately settled on the words firmly, and then said with a smile: "I will sell myself to you for half a year, and I can pay some wages in advance, right? We have to be reasonable, right..."

Linglong pouted her lips. She was about to say something when a man suddenly walked out of the underground passage on the opposite side.

Seeing someone coming, Linglong immediately shut her mouth.

The two of them turned around and saw that it was Luo Runbao who had just returned from arranging the guest room.

Runbao was also holding a big bag in his hand, which looked heavy.

She walked to the counter, handed the bag to Lu Qian, glanced at Linglong, and did not dare to speak.

Lu Qian opened the bag directly, only to see a bag full of golden leaves inside.

Lu Qian looked at Runbao and said, "Duan Zhouzhao gave it to you?"

Runbao nodded and said, "He asked me to pass it on to my husband."

Lu Qian nodded. This state photo was okay. He borrowed so much money in a blink of an eye.

He directly handed the money bag to Linglong and said, "Exchange it all for ghost money for me. By the way, there's also my wages."

Linglong took the bag filled with gold leaves, turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, she said, "Let Xiaoyu give it to you tomorrow."

As she spoke, she walked towards the back door. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Lu Qian: "You clean up here, don't be lazy, my shopkeeper."
