Chapter 369: Doomed to be lonely for a lifetime
Although Nangong Ling and Thirteen Niang's search plan sounded seamless, when it really reached the actual operation stage, Zhong Wen still felt quite a headache.
It's just that in Xiqi Province, the border between the Great Qian Empire and the Land of Chaos is extremely long, even if he has been promoted to Lingzun, with Zhong Wen's strong perception, it is still far from enough to cover the entire border.
At this time, he could clearly see the chaotic place on the other side of the border, but he was not sure whether Zhu Cong and Ning Jie would come in this direction.
Even if Zhu Cong really chose the Land of Chaos, Zhong Wen had no way of knowing how his trip was going, whether he had not yet arrived or had already crossed the border.
If Sister Nangong and Sister Thirteen Niang were here, they would definitely be able to judge some clues.
Realizing that the IQ he had always been proud of was a little insufficient, he suddenly felt a little discouraged and depressed in his heart.
Forget it, my brother is already so handsome, if he is smarter, what way will other men live?
Comforting himself, he slowly landed in the leafy and lush woods below, intending to pick some fruit to quench his thirst and replenish his water.
As soon as the figure landed on a tree, it startled countless birds around.
Zhong Wen stretched out his hand to pick a fruit, stretched his limbs, lay on the thick branch, wiped the surface of the peel with his sleeve, and then opened his mouth to bite it.
His mouth was instantly filled with sweet flesh and cool juice, Zhong Wen only felt refreshed, and his frustration was instantly relieved a lot.
After a while, seeing that he was lying motionless, as if he were not a threat, the birds in the trees beside him returned to their places and began to chatter again.
"How strange is this two-legged beast, so wingless, that it can fly in the sky?" said one bird to another.
"These two-legged beasts are so hateful that they have taken many of my friends. The other bird said, "Be careful, don't get too close to it." ”
"What are you afraid of, two-legged beasts can't fly. A small bird said earlier.
"You're not in a good ......," said the other bird, speechless, "and I said it could fly ......."
"I'm talking about the other two-legged beasts. "I've seen a lot of two-legged beasts, and this one is the only one that can fly, maybe it's one of our kind, but it looks a little like a two-legged beast." ”
"How can anyone grow up to be of such a kind?" said the other bird, "big and ugly, surely unable to find a mate, destined to be lonely all his life, without children or grandchildren." ”
Zhong Wen: "......"
Didn't I just eat a fruit and provoke you?
He cursed me to cut off my children and grandchildren!
"Isn't that too much for you to say about me?" he finally couldn't hold back, and was about to reason with the bird.
"It, was it talking to me just now?" The venomous-tongued bird didn't expect Zhong Wen to suddenly talk to it, and couldn't help but be startled, and once again spread its wings and flew into the sky, asking hesitantly.
"yes, it's talking. The other bird said triumphantly, "Look, I'm right, it's really our kind, but it looks a little strange." ”
"Yes, I'm sorry. "I didn't mean to speak ill of you, I thought you were a two-legged beast." ”
"Forget it, it's not your fault. Zhong Wen rolled his eyes and said nonsense, "Actually, my father is the same kind as you, and my mother is a two-legged beast, so although I can fly, I look like this." ”
"Oh!" Not only the two little birds, but even the other birds around them couldn't help but let out an exclamation when they heard it, and then you and I said a word, and asked about the love gossip of Zhong Wen's "parents".
As for how the bird and the two-horned beast overcame the size gap and gave birth to the next generation, not a single bird questioned it.
"By the way, I don't know if you've seen any other two-legged beasts around these days?" After talking for a while, Zhong Wen suddenly had an idea and asked at a group of small birds, "I'm looking for two two-legged beasts, one male and one female." ”
"We can't tell which two-legged beasts are male and which are female. A bird replied.
"Well, male and female, as long as it's a two-headed two-legged beast...... No, as long as there are two-legged beasts. Zhong Wen retreated, "Have you passed through this generation in the last few days?"
"No!" replied the birds in unison.
When Zhong Wen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that his problem was too limited and full of loopholes.
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly took out a pot of "high-grade pet feed" originally prepared for the bald eagle from the ring.
At the moment when this pot of feed appeared, the originally noisy woods suddenly fell silent, and the birds around Zhong Wen stretched their necks one by one, staring at the pot in his hand, their eyes all flashing with longing.
Seeing this, Zhong Wen smiled slightly, and said to the birds: "When we meet for the first time, I invite everyone to eat something good." ”
With that, he reached out and crushed the feed balls, spilling them into the air.
At the moment when the feed particles fluttered in the wind, countless birds jumped out of the trees and went straight to the detritus in the sky, as if they had not eaten for many days.
"Don't be in a hurry. Zhong Wen smiled and spilled a handful of feed again, "All of them, all of them." ”
The second wave of fodder debris sparked a scramble again, and more and more birds rushed out of the forest, and they didn't know where they were hiding before, which made Zhong Wen marvel.
Turns out you're both diving.
He smiled secretly in his heart, but his hands did not stop, and he kept spilling the feed in the basin into the sky.
This excitement lasted for nearly a quarter before it stopped, just because the feed in Zhongwen's basin was finally all sprinkled and empty.
"Anything else?
Countless birds surrounded Zhong Wen, whether they grabbed the feed or not, they all chirped and urged him non-stop.
"Yes, yes, but I can't give it to you for nothing. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhong Wen had a wicked smile on his face, "If you still want something delicious, you have to do me a favor......
......
On the official road in Xiqi Province, a unicorn carriage is moving at full speed in the southwest direction.
The charioteer, wearing a hat and a yellow shirt, maneuvered the reins with agility and skill, skillfully stimulating the horse's speed to the extreme.
"Phew~"
On the right side of the road, a forest gradually appeared in the coachman's sight, he let out a shout, stopped the carriage, and jumped into the woods in an instant, his body turned into a yellow phantom, and it was extremely fast.
When he reappeared, the coachman was already holding a few fruits in his hands, apparently from the woods.
He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain in front of the carriage, and a white woman's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The woman is about her early twenties, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, ice muscles and jade bones, no powder on her face, but she is still beautiful.
At this time, on the woman's white robe as white as snow, there were circles of black spiritual ropes entwined, and the already exquisite curves were tightly bound by the ropes, which was even more concave and convex, and the contrast with its simple and elegant temperament was strong, forming a fatal temptation.
"Miss Ning, are you thirsty?" The coachman took off his hat, revealing a handsome face, with a sly glint in his eyes, it turned out to be a theological scholar from the Seven Star Pavilion, "Little Zhuge " Zhu Cong.
The woman in white in the carriage was naturally Ning Jie, who was abducted by Zhu Cong after being stunned with drugs.
"No, you don't. Ning Jie lightly refused.
"Are you still angry with me?" Zhu Cong's burning gaze swept over Ning Jie's proud figure, and said softly, "Brother also has a last resort, and I ask Miss Ning to forgive me." ”
"I don't know where Brother Zhu wants to take my little sister?" Ning Jie's voice didn't hear too much emotion.
"Zhu plans to find a hidden place in the chaotic land, and asks Miss Ning to help decipher the "Tianyan Jue". Zhu Cong's eyes flickered, "Once the classics are fully translated, Zhu should send Miss Ning back to the school palace." ”
"Brother Zhu's words are probably not true. Although Ning Jie was obsessed with ancient gods, she was not stupid, and instantly heard Zhu Cong's words insincerely, "You tied up your little sister with medicine and sent her to the chaotic place, at this time, grandpa must have found out, once he finds it, he will definitely punish you severely, and even take your life, how can Brother Zhu honestly send your little sister back to the school palace?"
"This ......," Zhu Cong was speechless for a while.
"Brother Zhu chose to go to the Land of Chaos instead of returning to the Seven Star Pavilion, isn't it precisely to avoid Grandpa's search?" Ning Jie continued.
"Miss Ning, Shizun handed over the "Tianyan Jue" to the two brothers and sisters at the same time, and said that whoever cracks this book first will be able to obtain the inheritance of the 'Divine Calculation Hall'. Zhu Cong's brain was running rapidly, and he kept weaving reasons in his mouth, "Although Zhu's theological attainments are slightly better than those of Senior Brother, my Senior Brother Ma Liang has some friendship with the disciples of 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage', if someone in 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage' helps, Zhu will definitely be difficult to win, for the sake of 'Divine Calculation Hall', Zhu is also forced to make this decision." ”
As long as Miss Ning is willing to put down other things, she will do her best to help Zhu translate the book. He paused, and then continued, "At that time, Zhu will return to the Seven Star Pavilion first, win the 'Divine Calculation Hall', and then send Miss Ning back to the Wendao School Palace unscathed, and personally ask Old Master Ning for the guilt, and offer a large amount of compensation, if I see that Miss Ning is safe and sound, maybe Old Master Ning is sincere in Zhu, and I don't know if he will let me go." ”
"The Great Qian Empire's passage to the Chi Clan must have been guarded by someone from the Xue Palace, how can you return to the Seven Star Pavilion?" Ning Jie shook his head again and again, "If you want to take a detour from the chaotic land, you don't know what year or month you will be able to arrive, at that time, your Senior Brother Ma may have already passed the test, this plan is full of loopholes." ”
Zhu was in a hurry for a while, and he didn't think about it so much. Zhu Cong showed a wry smile on his face, "These details will be calculated after the exercises are deciphered." ”
Seeing that Ning Jie was reluctant to eat, he no longer persuaded him, closed the curtain of the carriage, turned around and shook the reins, and drove the carriage back on the road.
Yes, just send you back, Old Master Ning will never let me go.
But if it was his grandson-in-law who went back, it wasn't necessarily.
The moment he turned around, a cruel smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Cong's face.
At the moment when the carriage started, several small birds flew out of the woods on the right, and bursts of pleasant birdsong sounded from their mouths.
Two of the birds fluttered their wings and landed above the carriage, and after a moment of rest, they spread their wings again and flew high again, and went west with the rest of the birds.
Zhu Congwu was immersed in his own planning, not noticing the actions of these little birds at all, and still skillfully drove the carriage towards the Xiqi border, which was getting closer and closer.
