Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 36 – The Milky Way is an unordered zone

Su Yun and four little demon children arrived at the crooked neck willow tree.

There was only one lonely grave buried in the snow under the willow tree, with no grass hut or Cen Bo.

Su Yun looked up. After the heavy snow, the sky was clear and blue, and there was no bustling market as Cen Bo had said.

He turned to look at his "house" in the snow, but there was no house, only a small grave mound.

The grave mound was opened, revealing a small coffin, which was the small "house" in Su Yun's childhood memories.

At that time, he was blind and struggling in an extremely small room, hammering the door and shouting in despair.

The seven-year-old boy truly felt despair and helplessness.

Just when he was panicked, he heard the rustling sound, and his "door" was opened. Cen Bo held his hand and pulled him out of the "little house".

Now, Su Yun recalled this past, with countless emotions in his heart that he didn't know how to express. Finally, he bowed to Cen Bo's barren grave in the snow and continued on his way.

He turned back and looked at Tianmen Town, seeing the lonely Tianmen standing there in the distance.

In a trance, the teenager who left home seemed to hear Qu Bo's unique and desolate tone, and the slightly monotonous and vicissitudes of the Qiang drum sound.

"Nowadays, the world is unpredictable!"

Dong! Dong! Dong!

"No heroes in the world!"

"No heroes!"

Dong! Dong! Dong!

...

Su Yun and his group passed through the snake ravine and arrived at Huang Village.

The Great Wilderness Grave was full of holes, and the yellow weasels stood in front of their own caves, watching all directions, guarding against enemy attacks. Some ran around in the snow, playing and frolicking, while a few transformed into young men and came out from behind the trees, practicing spells.

"Huang Village's little rascals!"

Hua Hu made a megaphone with his hands and shouted to the yellow weasels of Huang Village, "We're going to the city! We won't beat you up! When Grandpa Hua comes back from the city during the holidays, we'll beat you up! Don't think we-"

Splash-

The air was full of dried dung balls and eggshells, whistling towards them. Hua Hu laughed and ran away with Su Yun and the others.

After the lively scene, they returned to Huqiu Village, and Hua Hu's smile gradually disappeared as she came to the graves of the villagers of Huqiu Village and paid her respects.

Su Yun came to the grave of Mr. Ye Hu, solemnly paying homage to this enlightening teacher.

Cen Bo, Qu Bo, Luo Danni, and others had great kindness towards him. Cen Bo saved his life, Qu Bo, Luo Danni, and others raised him, but Mr. Ye Hu's kindness to Su Yun was enlightenment and opening his spiritual wisdom!

Without his wisdom enlightenment, without opening his spiritual wisdom, he would be a wild child in the mountains, no different from a beast.

Mr. Ye Hu seemed to have opened the eyes of his soul, allowing him to learn to distinguish right from wrong and to be a person.

They left Huqiu Village, went through Xiangxu, and Su Yun and the four little demon children went in to clean up, dusting off the dust. They sat in their seats, as if they could still hear Mr. Ye Hu's voice and see their classmates.

Tianping Bridge.

Su Yun raised his hand, and his blood and qi turned into a dragon that flew out, its claws grabbing the raised bridge head and pulling the bridge down.They walked onto the Tianping Bridge and headed towards the other side. A group of owls flew over from the sky and called out, "Is Su Family's little brat leaving? It's very dangerous in the city!"

Su Yun looked up and waved to the residents of Linyi Village.

One of the owls landed in front of them on the bridge, with a round and serious face. It spread its wings and gestured, "Our countryside is a forest, while the city is an iron forest, extremely dangerous! People in the city eat people and don't spit out bones!"

The owls in the sky flew away, and their hooting echoed, calling for him.

The owl on the bridge flapped its wings and flew away, its voice coming from the sky, "Why not stay and become a demon? We are demons in your eyes, but you are also a demon in our eyes! Why must you go to the city?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "I don't want to live aimlessly. That's why I want to go to the city."

"The city is a hundred times more dangerous than the Tian Shi Yuan! Hoot, be careful, hoot!"

They arrived on the other side of the bridge, and Su Yun led four little demon children down. On a snowy day, Huangji Town was also deserted. Hua Hu led them to visit the old Gou family. The old couple's hair was already white, showing their age.

"You're entering the city so early?"

Gou Po served them each a bowl of hot soup and frowned, "Why not wait until next year to enter the city? It's very dangerous to enter the city now without anyone accompanying you."

Hua Hu said, "Auntie, Xiao Yun's eyes can see. He was driven out of Tianmen Town. There isn't much worth staying in Tian Shi Yuan, so we plan to go to the city to make a living and seek revenge on our enemies."

Before Gou Po could say anything else, Old Gou raised his hand to interrupt and said, "A male demon must go out and make a career for himself. What does a female demon like you know? Go, add more pepper to this bowl of soup for me!"

Gou Po left in anger.

Old Gou looked at Su Yun seriously and said, "You are human, we are demons. When you reach human territory, you must take care of Little Hua and the others."

Su Yun nodded solemnly, holding the bowl of soup awkwardly.

Old Gou continued, "It's safe to the east of Huangji Town, but it's hard to say to the west. Thirty-five miles to the west of Huangji Town is the Tian Shi Yuan post station, where you can take the Candle Dragon into the city. But the road is blocked by snow, and it's difficult to travel. You will probably have to spend the night on the road and arrive at the post station the next day. On the road..."

Old Gou's eyes twitched, and his voice became hoarse, "The west of Huangji Town is an unregulated area. You must be careful! At night, you must not stay outside, but find the temple of the Old Saint to rest!"

Fear was evident in his eyes, and he couldn't hide it. "And one more thing, the bonfire in the temple must not be extinguished! Remember, it must not be extinguished! If you hear someone calling you at night, do not go out, do not go out!"

He spoke in a sinister and terrifying tone, almost threatening Su Yun, Hua Hu, and the others in a low voice.

Su Yun and Hua Hu nodded quickly.

Old Gou's face returned to normal, and he held the bowl of soup, saying, "It's cold outside, drink while it's hot. Drink until you sweat, then go out. Old lady, did you bring the pepper? Go and soak some Luo Mo in the soup, make more, and let the little bunnies have some dry food on the road! Fry some eggs in the Luo Mo!"

After filling up on food at the Gou family's house, Su Yun and the others left feeling warm and comfortable.

Hu Buping praised, "Old Gou is really tough. He scolded Gou Po with just one sentence, setting an example for us men!"As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a metal pot hitting the back of his head. He heard Guo Po's voice, "I gave you face, didn't I? The mother demon won't enter the city, will she? Won't she roam around? Won't she establish a career? Do you not like the soup I made? You still want to act tough in front of me..."

Then came the sound of his head hitting the door panel, mixed with Guo Po's begging, "The children haven't gone far yet, wait until they're gone before you hit me..."

Hu Buping remained silent, bowing his head and not daring to speak, following Su Yun and the others out of town.

The snow was deep and had not yet melted, and the roads were submerged. If one was not careful, they would fall into a snow pit.

Fortunately, they all had extraordinary abilities and strong cultivation, so they didn't have to worry about danger. However, walking on the snowy road was very difficult, so their speed was not fast.

"At this rate, we may not be able to reach the Tian Shi Yuan relay station by nightfall."

Su Yun looked up and surveyed the distance. The snow roads on both sides had ditches that could distinguish the road, but if one accidentally fell into the ditch, they would most likely get their clothes wet and shiver with cold.

After walking for six or seven miles, the sun had moved to the western half of the sky. Although they could see the sun, the sunlight seemed to be icy and did not feel warm at all.

Ahead was a hill covered with red houses, about thirty or forty households.

Hua Hu jumped up to take a closer look, but he was not tall enough. Su Yun picked him up and put him on his shoulder so that Hua Hu could see more clearly.

The accumulated snow on the red houses on the hill had already been cleared away, and even the snow on the official road had been cleared away, revealing a bridge that was five or six zhang long and could accommodate a carriage, spanning a small river.

"Guo Laoye said the west of the town is full of wicked people, but why do I feel like he's talking about other people?"

Hua Hu jumped down from Su Yun's shoulder and laughed, "Guo Laoye probably got ripped off here."

Su Yun smiled, "The demon that can make Guo Laoye suffer a loss is one we must be wary of."

Hua Hu's heart trembled.

As they walked forward, they saw a monkey with a knife sitting at both ends of the bridge. The monkey was strong and sturdy, wearing only a vest even though it was snowing heavily.

Su Yun looked from afar and saw that the monkey's back was much wider than a human's, and through his vest, he could see his muscles, which were more numerous than those of a human.

"If a person has so many muscles, it is a natural talent. And the monkey demons of the ape tribe are born with such talents!"

Su Yun exclaimed, envying such talent.

As they walked a few steps forward, they saw a stone tablet standing on the road with the words "Yuanjialing" written on it.

Su Yun glanced at the red houses on the hill and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that there are monkey demons on the mountain. Such great talent..."

"Cross the bridge?"

The monkey sitting in the recliner at the bridgehead glanced at them and lifted his drooping arm, "Two and a half coins per person."

Hu Buping was angry, "Why should we give you money?"The monkey demon stood up unsteadily, stretched lazily, glanced at him and lazily said, "The road to Yuanjialing belongs to our village, the bridge was built by our village, and we also cleared the snow. Is it unreasonable to collect money?"

Hu Buping was about to say something, but Su Yun smiled and said, "It's not unreasonable." After speaking, he took out his money bag and counted out ten five-copper coins.

The monkey demon took the money and lay down again.

Su Yun and his companions crossed the bridge. When they reached the other side, there was another monkey demon lying there lazily, saying, "It costs two five-copper coins per person to cross the bridge."

Hu Buping was furious, "We already paid earlier, why do we have to pay again?"

The monkey demon sat up and smirked, "You paid for the bridge crossing earlier, now you have to pay for crossing off the bridge."
