Chapter 36 Changshan
The black shadow was extremely fast, and Luo Banxia was also chasing after him. When the two of them chased after me, they had crossed many houses and came to a corner of Weng Cao Village.
This black shadow was extremely smart, and knew that the speed was not as fast as Luo Banxia, so he turned around the village, and the black fog around him naturally blended with the silent night, and for a moment it made Luo Banxia helpless, so he had to chase hard.
After turning a few more streets, suddenly the black shadow disappeared in an instant. A moment later, Luo Banxia came here, and his brows furrowed.
I saw that this was a crossroads, and there were three other different directions in addition to the direction from which they came. Luo Banxia stood in the middle of the intersection, his true qi was running, and the wisps of blue light came out of his body again, stretching out in all directions. But this time, no matter how much he searched, he could no longer find the breath of this black shadow.
It was as if the shadow was an illusion that came and went out of nowhere.
Luo Banxia secretly said strangely in his heart, this black shadow doesn't seem to have such magical powers, otherwise it would have been used a long time ago and would not have waited until now. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a deep voice sound.
"Senior Brother Luo, what are you doing here?"
Luo Banxia turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw a young man in a yellow robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing next to a house not far from him, looking at him in surprise. At that moment, Luo Banxia walked towards the young man and said, "Senior Brother Changshan, you came just in time, did you see a dark shadow passing by here just now?"
This person is Chang Shan, a disciple of Xihemen.
Chang Shan pointed in one direction, "I really saw a black shadow just now, and I went over there." ”
Luo Banxia nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Changshan." By the way, it's so late, why did Senior Brother Changshan come here?"
Chang Shan scratched his head and grinned: "Oh, hehe, I'm hungry at night, so I came out to look for something to eat, and I just happened to run into you." ”
Chang Shan is one of the five people in Xihemen on this trip, and he is silent on weekdays, almost making people forget the existence of such a person as him. Luo Banxia had no doubts about what he said, and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter to him at the moment, and said: "This villain is very cunning, can Senior Brother Changshan help me catch him." If I find his trace in a while, I can attract his attention, and Senior Brother Changshan will wait for the opportunity to save people. ”
Chang Shan agreed, "No problem, this matter is on me." ”
The two of them immediately chased together in the direction that Chang Shan pointed out just now, and searched carefully along the street along the way, Luo Banxia even rose into the sky, looking for traces of the black shadow hiding in the sky.
I searched for about a quarter of an hour, but I still didn't find anything. The two of them had to fall to the ground, and Chang Shan said in a sneering voice: "This demon's mana is so strong, has it disappeared after only a short period of effort?"
Luo Banxia's brows were still tightly locked, and he muttered: "It shouldn't be, how can this be, why did people suddenly disappear?"
While the two of them were thinking about each other, Chang Shan pointed to a courtyard in front of him and said, "Senior Brother Luo, look, isn't that the courtyard where the village chief is leaving?
Luo Banxia's eyes lit up, and before he knew it, the two of them had come to the residence of Jiangli during the day, and compared the black shadow and Jiangli's figure in their minds, and found that the two really had some similarities. First of all, both of them are black gauze and black robes, and the black shadow disappeared out of thin air when they came here, and they can no longer be found, and secondly, Jiangli has always been very mysterious, and he has a certain degree of cultivation. In this comparison, it seems that there is something really suspicious about it.
At that moment, Luo Banxia beckoned, "Let's go, Senior Brother Chang, let's take a look." ”
Chang Shan nodded, and the two walked towards the courtyard together.
In just a few moments, the two of them had already walked to the front of the courtyard. Across the old courtyard wall and the yellowed wooden door, the two of them smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, which was the smell of the grass planted all over the courtyard, and it seemed to have become the smell of the body.
This is a woman with the same name as the flower name.
The two of them listened for a little and found that there was no movement. Luo Banxia stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden door, making a squeaky sound, but it was not closed. The two of them cautiously stepped into the courtyard, the dark clouds made the night extraordinarily deep, and there were no candles here, but the red on the grass everywhere was delicate, even in such a night, it was very conspicuous.
Among the flowers, two people are sitting quietly next to each other. A person was shrouded in a black robe and black veil, if it weren't for Luo Banxia's excellent eyesight, he could hardly see that it was a person in the dark environment, and he might regard her as a part of the darkness, this person was about to leave.
Next to him was a middle-aged man. The man, dressed in coarse linen clothes, lay quietly on a wooden chair motionless, his eyes closed, his face serene, and a smile of relief on his lips, as if nothing around him could disturb him. He was so calm and indifferent that even the gentle shaking of the wooden chair could not make him move a little.
Looking at this situation, Luo Banxia's heart suddenly rose with an inexplicable touch. The courtyard of the mountain village, the night breeze, the gentleman and the beautiful woman, snuggled together.
Luo Banxia didn't bother the two, just watched silently, and seemed to have noticed it the moment they came in, but he didn't react either, just facing the people on the wooden chair with all his heart, repeating the actions he had to do every day, enjoying the time of the two.
I saw that the black veil on his face was lightly moved, and a melodious and crisp song sounded, which was pleasant to the ear. Listening to this singing, it seems to be the shallow singing of a cardamom girl, if it weren't for the age when Dashan mentioned her leaving, Luo Banxia would almost think that she was just a young girl. The singing voice was faint, and it reached Luo Banxia's ears, only making him feel infinite tenderness.
"Will leave the grass, early twilight, you are like a breeze and a concubine, when will you meet again, you will be Qiao, I will be Qiao ......"
Looking at the appearance of leaving, it doesn't seem to be the same person as the black shadow just now. After waiting for a while, Jiang Li finally got up and slowly moved the man back to the inner hall with a wooden chair. Jiang Li didn't use the Dao method, and she moved it very gently, but it was still a little difficult and embarrassing to move a tall man sitting on a chair with her woman's body. Luo Banxia didn't help, just waited quietly, he found that even in the process of moving, the man was still motionless, his body collapsed on Jiang Li's body, and even the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, which made Luo Banxia feel that the man's state was a little wrong.
Chang Shan also discovered the man's abnormality, and whispered to Luo Banxia: "Senior Brother Luo, do you feel that there is something wrong with that man?"
Luo Banxia nodded and hummed softly.
Chang Shan continued: "Looking at this, it seems to be a bit like ...... Zombies?"
Luo Banxia thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be." Zombies will appear to have obvious corpse spots and blood stains, and the man is neatly dressed and does not look like a zombie. It's like he's suffering from some strange illness or losing his soul. ”
At this moment, Jiang Li slowly came out, and Chang Shan didn't talk about it when he saw this. Luo Banxia took two steps forward, clenched his fists and said, "I'm leaving the village chief, I'm disturbed late at night." ”
The black yarn moved slightly, and seemed to nod. "I don't know what the two young heroes are looking for me?" she accentuated her tone when she said something important, and she could hear a little dissatisfaction.
Luo Banxia froze, "Tonight, I saw a black-robed man kidnapping a child and coming here, and in a blink of an eye, there was no trace, I wonder if the village chief has seen this person?"
Jiang Li Leng snorted, "I didn't see it." Seeing that Luo Banxia bowed her head and was silent, she continued: "Luo Shaoxia means to doubt me?"
Luo Banxia's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Don't dare, it's just that the village chief is carrying the Dao Law, if anyone passes by, they will definitely notice it, and if there are any clues, please tell the village chief." ”
"I didn't see anything. ”
Luo Banxia's face was grim, it seems that asking like this will not lead to anything, since this is the case, you might as well give her a try. At that moment, he gave another salute, "The younger brother wants to take the liberty to enter the village chief's inner hall to have a look, there are many disturbances, if there is any rudeness, please forgive the village chief." ”
The words are gentle, but the movements in the hands are not stopped. Luo Banxia's figure flashed and teleported out, and in a few moves, he rushed towards the direction of the swarthy inner hall.
Jiang Li snorted coldly, his body turned sharply and stopped in front of the hall door, and his right hand opened like a claw and grabbed Luo Banxia's head. Luo Banxia raised his palm, and a Tai Chi aperture burst out with a burst of dazzling white light, and the two intersected and took a few steps backwards at the same time.
Luo Banxia didn't use a magic weapon, he couldn't hit it and spread his body at the moment, and he alternated between the magic and the easy shadow, and for a while, the scene was full of Luo Banxia's afterimage, and his hands were even more non-stop, throwing out one Tai Chi aperture after another, which was dazzling.
And not to be outdone, her true power showed a faint red, condensed into small flowers one by one, and the Jiangli grass on the ground complemented each other, resisting Luo Banxia's Tai Chi pattern. Luo Banxia's offensive was extremely fierce, and as soon as he got started, he pushed the Dao method of the Female Spirit Palace to the extreme, and Jiang Li was like a reef in the stormy seas.
A loud roar sounded, and the figures separated again after the two exchanged palms. Luo Banxia stood in the courtyard, quietly recalling the process of the fight just now. Although there is still some hiding from the obvious, from the perspective of the way of operating the Dao method, there is still a difference between the Jiangli and the black shadow, and it is preliminarily judged that the two should not be the same person.
At that moment, Luo Banxia hugged his fists and gave a salute, and said apologetically: "I'm really embarrassed, the little brother can only try it out in a hurry." There are many offenses, and another day I will come to the door to ask for sin. ”
Jiang Li Leng snorted and did not speak. Luo Banxia's face was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at Chang Shan. At this moment, the sound of footsteps gradually came from outside, and there was a little fire shaking, it should be that the villagers were about to arrive. Luo Banxia bowed slightly and said, "In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, junior brother and senior brother Chang will not stay here for long." The younger brother wanted to search for the traces of the black shadow for a while, so he took his leave. ”
Jiang Li still didn't speak, and the black yarn moved lightly.
Luo Banxia gestured to Chang Shan to glance, and the two of them disappeared into the night together. After a while, several villagers poured into the courtyard of the future, led by the strong man. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were about to leave without harm, and the strong man said loudly: "Village chief, are you okay, we rushed over when we heard the sound of fighting, who is going to be unfavorable to the village chief." ”
Jiang Li's voice was calm, "It's okay, it's just that two little thieves are going to come in and steal something, and they have already been beaten away by me, you don't have to fight so much, go back and rest." ”
The strong man obviously didn't believe it, "Where is the little thief, wait for me to clean him up." Qian Er, you take a few brothers to the east to have a look, and the rest of the brothers will look for me in the village. He was commanding loudly, looking at this posture, he had to turn Weng Cao Village upside down.
Jiang Li's voice was still calm but unquestionable, "Zheng Hong! I said it's okay, you don't have to make such a fuss, go back to sleep." ”
"But......" The strong man named Zheng Hong wanted to say something.
"Go back to sleep!"
