Chapter 692: Rumors of Strange Beasts
Qing Chunhua had not expected this strange shopkeeper to be so sharp-tongued, and within a few words, she was at a loss for words. She did have this in mind.
If the shopkeeper is not a bad person and rescues you with good intentions, but you become suspicious and leave instead of repaying him, then you are making a big mistake. If the master knew, he would definitely punish you severely.
Qing Chunhua saw that Li Changxiao was smiling, and could vaguely see some teasing in his face, which clearly showed a carefree attitude of "I don't care if you still suspect me." Even though she hesitated in her heart, she didn't get angry for no reason, thinking: "Do you think I have to suffer from you just 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 find me again, or I come to find you again, and I will repay you."
After that, he took 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 her, "Okay, okay, if you want to go, I won't stop you, but you'd better not go northwest. There are strange beasts lurking there, it's very dangerous."
Qing Chunhua replied, "Pretentious." She walked faster, but after walking a few miles, she couldn't help but feel uneasy and couldn't help thinking again, "Is he really a bad guy?"
She didn't know how to feel, after all, she was a rookie, and when she thought about things, she would gradually think about herself. She thought, if the shopkeeper was a good person and really saved her, she would definitely make him sad by doing this.
When he is sad, he will definitely be upset, and when he is upset, he will not be able to do other things well. The more Qing Chunhua thought about it, the more serious it became. Li Changxiao's sad and unhappy face appeared in her mind. It was as if she had pushed the white-clothed shopkeeper into hell. She felt guilty and doubtful.
But after walking a few more miles, I felt relieved. I felt that the world was so big, and that small inn was just a tiny wave among countless adventures. Why should I miss it for too long?
Besides, as an innkeeper, he often encounters strange guests who regard him as an ungrateful weirdo. Qing Chunhua actually does not have any dislike for Li Changxiao, but is mostly afraid of him.
She was walking on the road, chatting with the slave beside her. Qu Xiaochan said enviously: "Miss, you have only learned the art for a few years, but you are so good."
Liu Ju said: "That skinny old man is no match for the young lady if he fights alone. He is really angry."
Qing Chunhua smiled and said, "Of course, but it's not me who is great, it's my master who is great." Qu Xiaochan asked, "Miss, is your master the woman who stayed at your home temporarily ten years ago?"
Qing Chunhua nodded slightly and was about to answer when she saw a fork in the road ahead. One road led to the northwest, and the other led to the east. Looking to the east, the road was long, straight and wide. Looking to the west, the road was narrow and difficult to walk on, with weeds growing everywhere, and there might be poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere.
The three of them stopped at a fork in the road. Qing Chunhua was about to take the eastern road, but suddenly he thought, "Where I want to go, I just need to keep going forward. I can get there whether I go west or east. But the shopkeeper told us not to go northwest, saying that there are many poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the northwest."
"I'm heading northwest, so I don't know if the shopkeeper is a good person or not. Besides, I can kill monsters and demons along the way. My martial arts skills can also help the people, so it won't be a waste."
Qing Chunhua was naturally very competitive, and happened to be upset about the inn incident. Although she pretended to be carefree and relaxed, she was actually secretly keeping it in mind. It was a rare opportunity to verify it, and if she didn't verify it, she was afraid that she would have a knot in her heart.
Although the path of a warrior is not "cultivating the mind", the mentality and character are still extremely important. Master Qing Chunhua once warned her that the path of a warrior was born from the reform of the monks. The reform era 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 heart and mind are of utmost importance. Strong power will magnify the nature of the human heart. If the heart is not open, all the power will become a cage.
Master Qing Chunhua also warned her disciples that if anyone did evil in the future, she would kill them personally without any mercy. In Qing Chunhua's heart, Master was both strict and gentle.
Qing Chunhua once asked her master a question in a joking way, asking her master's martial arts, which seemed to be different from everyone else's. The moves of ordinary martial artists, when used by her master, were not only powerful but also could turn decay into magic. What if she herself became bad?
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 couldn't possibly become bad. Moreover, even if she really became bad, there would definitely be someone in the world who could cure her.
Qing Chunhua felt very bored. At that time, she only thought that her master was the best in the world and didn't believe that anyone could subdue her. The past flashed by in an instant, and Qing Chunhua had already set foot on the road to the northwest.
Come and go in the inn.
Li Changxiao cleaned up the dishes, raised his head and smiled, thinking that this girl's character was really hard to say. Whatever, whatever, she didn't listen to the advice, and she would suffer in the end.
After walking for more than ten miles toward the northwest, the boots of the three people were stained with mud. Fortunately, Qing Chunhua, Liu Ju and Qu Xiaochan were all wearing long boots, which were suitable for walking on the forest path.
The sky gradually darkened, birds and insects kept chirping, and the mountains and fields were filled with gloomy air. Qing Chunhua panicked for no reason and felt a little regretful. Liu Ju worked quickly, and when he saw that it was getting dark, he started to make a fire.
The firelight illuminated a place, and the three of them finally settled down and decided to rest here. They looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars tonight and was very beautiful.
Qing Chunhua said: "There are wars everywhere now. I have learned martial arts, so I should take on important responsibilities and do things that ordinary people cannot do."
Liu Ju said: "Okay!" Qu Xiaochan agreed: "Okay."
Qing Chunhua added: "I have just started my journey, but I heard on the road that monsters and strange beasts appear one after another, and they are very scary. If you encounter them later, you two should hide behind me."
Liu Ju said, "Miss, speaking of strange beasts, I'm afraid I'm more familiar with them than you. This creature is too strange and difficult to deal with. My father used to be a handyman at the Zhang Family Manor. One day, the owner of the manor brought back a strange little snake. The owner thought it was a rare creature, so he tried to raise it. He found that this beast did not eat meat, but only drank blood, especially human blood. The owner fed it every day. One day, my father had to go out for work. When he came back, he saw the Zhang Family Manor. It was said that more than 40 people in the manor were eaten by a strange beast. It was that strange little snake!"
"The snake was shedding its skin at the time, so my father managed to save his life. Later, he entered the Qing Mansion, and now I am the one who serves you, young lady."
As they were talking, Qing Chunhua and Qu Xiaochan both felt a chill. Qing Chunhua cursed, "How come there are so many of these things in our human world? It's terrifying."
