Chapter 227: Encountering a Ghost Rabbit
"Bitter walk ah ……"
Looking at the winding mountain road, Meng Fan frowned.
The location of the mission was in the downtown area of Huyang, and driving would take about two hours at normal speed.
While walking would take seventeen or eighteen hours.
This was really a bitter journey.
If it wasn't for the fact that Han Yu was someone arranged by Taoist Qiu, Meng Fan almost thought that Han Yu was someone arranged by Han Xiong.
At this time, it was already past noon, and the weather was very bad with a cold wind, so after Meng Fan and Han Yu descended the mountain, they began to slowly travel toward the city.
"You don't have to worry." Han Yu saw Meng Fan's expression and thought he was worried that the mission wouldn't be completed, "This mission is also being done by Zhu Hong, and even though the mission has gone through a re-grading process, with his strength, it's possible for him to complete it alone."
Meng Fan nodded and didn't say anything, his hand kept fumbling with his cell phone, intending to find a chance to contact Shangguan Ning and Liu Erxie and tell them about going to Huyang City, and let them be prepared.
As for Cao Xiong's side, after learning the news of Meng Fan's descent, he was not idle either.
"Meng Niu Ba has finally come down from the mountain, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime good news!"
Cao Xiong stood in front of Cao Mang, who was bedridden again due to his chrysanthemum cracking.
"Brother, can we take his life this time?" Because of the repeated failures, Cao Mang was a bit discouraged.
"No problem." Cao Xiong said with confidence, "I will find a way to contact a friend, that friend is at the late stage of the fifth level of Spirit Condensation, and is about to break through to the sixth level of Spirit Condensation, with him, taking out Meng Niu Ba is a simple matter."
After explaining to Cao Mang, Cao Xiong went out in a flurry of excitement and used his unique method to contact the assassin.
Winter dusk came earlier, Meng Fan and Han Yu still had a relatively smooth journey, the two of them were also cultivators, even if they walked for a day and a night, it would not be a problem.
However, when it was dark, Han Yu stopped, pointing to a hill not far away, and opened his mouth, "Wealth is not exposed, not walking at night, and sleeping in the wild is one of the contents of asceticism, so let's rest there tonight."
"There?"
Meng Fan's vision scanned the surroundings, dry weeds swaying in the wind, the wilderness, no one in the four directions, it was really considered to be a situation where there was no village in front of him and no store behind him, the situation was very harsh, and occasionally, one could still hear the mournful chirping of the wild birds.
Meng Fan's Qiankun pendant space does have a tent, but it can't be taken out in front of Han Yu, but it's Han Yu, without saying a word, walked towards the hill, found a big rock, put the Bagua Crescent Bag on the rock, and picked up some dry firewood, glanced at Meng Fan: "You make the fire."
Meng Fan skimmed his lips, flipped his palm and performed the Fiery Flame Technique, a small fire crow rushed at the pile of dry firewood and blasted it!
"Boom!" An explosive sound rang out, and the fire instantly ignited!
Han Yu was sitting next to the dry firewood, he didn't expect Meng Fan to light the fire when he said so, he didn't have any defense at all, he was instantly smoked by the flames and choked his eyes, and fortunately the flames were relatively pure, there wasn't much black smoke, or else Han Yu's face, which was so valiant and extraordinary, would surely have to be smoked black.
"Your fiery knack ……" Han Yu wiped a handful of tears, it was him who let the fire be lit, and can't blame Meng rice too much, after a pause, "Use it very well!"
"Generally average." Meng Fan laughed, so he also sat down by the fire, sweeping a glance at Han Yu, waiting for a convenient opportunity to send a message to Shangguan Ning and the others.
"Senior Brother Han, why don't I go find some wild game and we'll have a good meal?" Meng Fan was all smiles.
"No, the purpose of asceticism lies in the word bitter." Han Yu's expression was solemn, "Cultivators of my generation, we have to move towards the elimination of grains, for example, Senior Brother me, I haven't eaten meat for several years, and moreover, I haven't eaten for a week already."
Meng Fan looked at Han Yu's face, his face was pale, without a bit of blood, as if he really hadn't eaten for a long time, and he all looked a bit malnourished.
At first when he saw Han Yu, Meng Fan thought he looked white, but now after hearing what he said, he realized that he was hungry.
"Alright then." Meng Fan had eaten the mountainous delicacies that Cao Xiong had treated him to in the Meal Hall yesterday, so he wasn't really hungry yet, and he no longer mentioned the matter of eating.
Instead, it was Han Yu who opened his mouth again, "Nowadays, people's hearts are not ancient, people don't honor heaven, and heaven often sends disasters on people, the cycle of evil rewards is really heartbreaking."
When saying these words, Han Yu looked up at the night sky, the night color into ink, no stars, the cold wind blowing his hair, he sighed: "The sky has all the immortals and all the Buddhas, the underground has the Yama and all the devils, even if it is a westerner, but also know the God Jehovah, when eating, will also say a thank you to the Lord, give me food, ask for a blessing, give me the strength…. … really is a devout Christian, there is a reverent heart, and then look at us, Taoism is scribbled, the people have no faith, money is the most unfortunate!"
Meng Fan was originally listening with a smile, but as he listened, he stopped smiling because Han Yu was speaking the truth, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Senior Brother Han has a high opinion."
Han Yu smiled at his words, his eyes lingered on Meng Fan's face for a moment, "Meng Niu Ba, you've got a very good name, there's a kind of fearlessness in it, but you're just acting too fiercely, for example, that day's intruder, no matter what the purpose was, you shouldn't have killed him……. If you converge a bit in the future, you're also is a moldable talent."
"Heh!" Meng Fan laughed dumbly, things were hidden, he naturally wouldn't try to explain, looking at the throbbing flames without saying a word, but it was because Han Yu's words had reminded him of something, it was about the netherworld.
In the end, what happened in the netherworld that led to the world without reincarnation.
It must have been an earth-shattering and huge change.
Han Yu didn't know what Meng Fan was thinking, and thought that he had accepted his words in vain, and nodded with satisfaction, "Senior Brother Meng, it's fine for you to want to eat, and we can pray as well, the Tao is natural, if we have the fate to eat tonight, the heavens will naturally make arrangements."
"Well ……," Meng Fan raised his eyes and looked at Han Yu, just now he also felt that what he said was quite in tune, this sentence sounded, how to feel strange, but Han Yu had already plopped his knees and closed his eyes on the stone, and his mouth recited the words, really prayed.
Seeing this, Meng Fan turned around and secretly fished out his cell phone, intending to send a message to Shangguan Ning, but Han Yu opened his eyes again, "Pray with me, heaven and earth have a spirit, every time I bring new disciples, this is how I guide them, we have to fear heaven and earth, heaven and earth have mercy on us, and they'll naturally give us food."
When he said this, Han Yu's stomach even rumbled, looking hungry.
"Alright." Seeing that Han Yu was staring too hard, Meng Fan skimmed his mouth, swept a glance at the rolling hills around him, thought of his father catching rabbits for him, and muttered, "Have a rabbit."
"Don't make a sound." Han Yu frowned, "Be silent and say it with your heart."
After saying this, he closed his eyes again, but then added, "A rabbit …… is not bad."
Listening to Han Yu's words, Meng Fan stole the thought that this kid was probably a bit delirious from hunger, if he were to refrain for a few more days, he was afraid that Tiger Yang Guan was going to have the first disciple to starve to death.
Just as Meng Fan was suffering from the lack of opportunity to deliver a message, a strange sound suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ta-da, ta-da!"
The two men coincidentally looked in the direction the sound came from, and a strange look appeared on their faces.
Only to see a rabbit with pitch-black fur, walking upright, getting closer and closer to them, baring its eyes and gazing at the two of them!
It was also at this moment that Han Yu suddenly drew out his mahogany sword and whispered, "Look at its shadow!"
"See it!"
Meng Fan nodded, his eyes coalescing on the rabbit's shadow, not moving a muscle.
The firelight pulsed, and the black rabbit's footsteps stopped, standing upright and looking at the two of them, while the rabbit's shadow, in the light of the firelight, swayed without stopping!
And the shadow's shape odd extremely bizarre, not the shadow of a rabbit, but the shadow of a person!
