Chapter 248: Looking for a needle in a haystack
In fact, at this time, the couple still had doubts in their hearts, not because they doubted Li Cheng's personality, but because the name of Kunlun Mountain was too scary, and it was a super power standing at the top of the world.
Just a name can make many masters sigh at their insignificant existence, the divine land that all genius prodigies yearn for, even so, they still can't put their minds at ease, because all the premise for him to repay Li Cheng is to be able to find their son, and they can't give Li Cheng anything until they find his son.
If it weren't for the fact that the strength of the two of them was really not enough outside, the couple really wanted to follow Li Cheng all the way to Kunlun Mountain, and see him find his son with their own eyes.
Caring is chaotic, and no matter how shrewd the two of them are on weekdays, they are still as nervous and worried as all parents in the world.
Originally, Li Cheng wanted to ask about their son's characteristics, but seeing that the couple was obviously sitting there and obviously absent-minded, thinking that his words before might not be sincere enough, the couple was afraid that they still suspected that he didn't want to go to Kunlun Mountain.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng's face was straight, and he said to the couple: "Look at the two of you, you are worried about things, you are afraid of me, the name of Kunlun Mountain." ”
Hearing Li Cheng suddenly say what he was thinking, the boss's slightly locked brows finally relaxed, his face was bitter, and he smiled awkwardly: "It's not that the two of us doubt Xiaoyou's personality, it's really that our requirements are too difficult, and it's really something that is beyond the reach of manpower, so Xiaoyou can laugh, don't blame, don't blame." ”
Seeing their suspicious appearance, Li Cheng thought about simply giving them a reassuring pill, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to settle their hearts tonight: "You two don't have to worry, even if you don't ask me about this, I will go to Kunlun Mountain for a walk." The family hatred and blood hatred Li Cheng kept in mind and wanted to avenge this revenge. ”
"I have to become stronger than I am now, I want to become the top powerhouse in this world, Kunlun Mountain is where I want to go no matter what. Rather than have doubts about this, you should tell me about your son's physical features, or else it will be all empty talk. ”
Li Cheng's later sentence can be said to have cut to the point all of a sudden, at this time Li Cheng is already the last hope of the two, but they are still so suspicious, they can only increase the difficulty.
The proprietress shook off the cranky thoughts in her head, and sighed that he had been in the rivers and lakes for many years and was not as intelligent as a hinder, it was useless for him to think so wildly, and telling Li Cheng more about his son's characteristics was the real focus, so she said to Li Cheng: "To be honest, my son has been separated from us for so many years, and we can't recognize him when his appearance has changed." ”
Li Cheng frowned, this is very troublesome, the huge Kunlun Mountain, finding a person out of thin air without any clues is undoubtedly equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, what he promised is really not an easy task.
"However," the proprietress suddenly said an important piece of information, "there is a jade pendant on our son, this jade pendant is made of a piece of jade handed down by my ancestors, this jade color is indigo, round and transparent, our son was born in the year specially found a craftsman to carve this jade into a dragon-shaped jade pendant, hanging on the child's body." He has liked it since he was a child, and he has never taken half a step away from his body. ”
Li Cheng felt that this clue was of little value, and it was too difficult to find someone with just one piece of jade, after all, Kunlun Mountain was so big, maybe there were a few dragon-shaped jade pendants.
After asking again and again, Li Cheng didn't ask any useful and important clues, the weather outside was white, and after thinking about it, he knew that the clues of this jade pendant were at least better than blindly looking for them, and there was a game in the Imperial Sect today, and he still needed to recuperate, so he said goodbye to the boss and his wife first.
Bidding farewell to the owner and his wife in the store, Li Cheng returned to his room and thought about it for a while, these two people are so mixed here, the people from the store are mixed, and the ability to collect information can be said to have reached an extremely terrifying realm. He was also lucky to be able to get the help of these two, and after thinking about it, Li Chengmei crossed his legs on the bed and began to adjust his temperature before the game.
In just half an hour, Li Cheng's meditation ended. Because, Xu Yulai woke him up, and he still didn't knock on the door and broke in.
Xu Yu saw Li Cheng's helpless expression, and his eyes bent into a crescent moon: "Idiot, cultivate and cultivate, you know cultivation all day long, and the sun is drying your buttocks." Let's go, let's go, don't forget that there is still a big competition of the Imperial King Sect today!"
Three black lines appeared on Li Cheng's head, even the biggest person can't forget it. But looking at Xu Yu with a bright face, his mood also became inexplicably happy, maybe this is the vitality of a young girl, Li Cheng rubbed Xu Yu's face: "I know, I know, call Qiu Shaoyu, let's go." ”
The three of them packed their luggage and rushed to the direction of the Imperial Palace, the sky was not yet bright, and it would definitely not be too late at the current speed, so the three of them were not in a hurry, and they were not in a hurry and walked on the road.
Early morning is when most of the flowers bloom, Xu Yu stopped all the way, sticking flowers and grass, and picked off the flowers and plants when he saw them blooming and put them in his hands, Li Cheng looked at the lively girl in front of him and felt that the tension before the game had also disappeared.
Xu Yu held the flowers he had picked for a long time in his hand, broke a willow branch, and made a bouquet with a turn of his little hand. Xu Yu walked up to Li Cheng and handed the flower, "Li Cheng, how about it, I made it, it looks good, do you want it?"
Li Cheng looked at Xu Yu, who was like a child, and smiled slightly, and was about to reply, when a large black shadow suddenly appeared in the woods on the side of the road, and four or five masked black-clothed people suddenly appeared with weapons and attacked them!
said that it was too late, Li Cheng pulled Xu Yu behind him and pulled out his sword, the people in black didn't expect Li Cheng to react so quickly, and they were actually stunned for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Cheng danced a sword flower and stabbed at the other party. He is now passive, and the opponent is outnumbered, and only by taking the lead can he find a chance to escape.
Where did the people in black think that Li Cheng would attack them directly instead of running, but the man in black who took the lead was obviously a veteran, and he immediately blocked Li Cheng's stab with his sword, and let the rest of the people scatter to surround the three of them.
At this time, Xu Yu and Qiu Shaoyu reacted, and they took out their weapons to defend against the attack of the man in black.
The three of them and the man in black are inseparable, but after all, the man in black has the advantage in numbers, and gradually Xu Yu and Qiu Shaoyu have become weak, and the long sword in their hands is wielding more and more slowly, and they can't even guard against it.
Li Cheng swept his eyes and saw that the two of them who were gradually losing their physical strength complained in their hearts, and if they continued like this, they would be defeated sooner or later. What's more, this group of black-clothed people came from an unknown intention, and it was not impossible for them to kill here! He had to find a way to run away with Xu Yu and Shaoyu.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng changed a sword style, no longer glued to each other with the leading man in black, and one move became more open and closed, quite like a tiger descending the mountain.
The leader of the men in black obviously didn't expect Li Cheng to suddenly change his moves, if it was a drizzle just now, it was a torrential rain now. His strength itself is not as good as Li Cheng, it is better than fighting in a short period of time, but after a long time, there is obviously a lack of strength. The leader was heartbroken, and he thought that the rest of his subordinates would quickly capture one of Xu Yu or Qiu Shaoyu and then besiege this Li Cheng together, but he didn't expect Xu Yu and the two to hold out for so long.
Li Cheng obviously felt that the man in black on the opposite side was a little unable to support it, he found an opportunity, the long sword in his hand changed direction violently, turned into a thorn, and stabbed at the chest of the leader of the man in black obliquely, how could the man in black expect Li Cheng to make this trick, and it was too late to defend again.
The long sword stabbed into the chest of the man in black, and as soon as Li Cheng turned the hilt of the sword, the leader of the man in black screamed, and he couldn't hold the long sword in his hand and fell to the ground.
The black-clothed people around were all shaken by the leader's screams for this life, and Li Cheng saw this and grabbed Xu Yu and Qiu Shaoyu and fled.
The people in black were at a loss when they saw that the leader was injured, and they hesitated whether to chase them or save the leader. Seeing this burst of fire, the leader of the men in black secretly endured the pain and shouted: "Don't chase it yet!"
Only then did the men in black move one after another, chasing in the direction that the three men were running. But just this period of kung fu, the three of them have already run away, I don't know how far, how can they catch up.
On the other side, because the fight just now had been delayed for too long, the three of them no longer dared to walk slowly, and for the time being, they left the matter of the man in black behind and rushed towards the Imperial Sect at full speed.
When the three of them rushed to the gate of the Imperial King Sect, the incense pillar that recorded the start of the game was almost extinguished, and the three of them finally arrived at the Imperial King Sect at the last quarter of an hour.
After the reception staff of the Imperial King Sect reported the three members of his team, Li Chengfang sat down to rest for a while, and asked, "You weren't injured in the fight just now, were you?"
Xu Yu and Qiu Shaoyu checked it, and neither of them was injured, but there were a few cuts on their clothes, which looked a little ugly.
Hearing that both of them were safe and sound, Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that we are not injured, let's leave this matter alone for the time being, and after the game, we will go and investigate in detail who wants to frame us." ”
Xu Yu and Qiu Shaoyu agree with Li Cheng's opinion, the most important task at the moment is the competition, and it is not too late to check this kind of thing after the game, but who used such an insidious strategy to deal with the three of them?
While the three of them were cultivating and thinking, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and it seemed that someone was almost unable to participate in the competition because they were late. I saw that after the reception staff of the sect negotiated with the person who was almost late, he walked straight towards the location of Li Cheng and the three of them.
Li Cheng was puzzled for a while, could it be that this person had something to do with the three of him?
After the reception staff came to Li Cheng, he said: "There was another player who was almost late just now, because the personnel situation of the other teams has been reported, only your team list has not yet been passed to the top, and this person is here again, so this person is arranged in your team, do you think it's good?"
Li Cheng heard this, as soon as he thought that there was one more person, after all, the three of them would not suffer, and if he didn't take him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to participate in the competition directly, so he simply let him in, and by the way, he gave a favor, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Li Cheng agreed, the receptionist showed a look of satisfaction, and shouted to the sect: "You can come over." ”
After hearing the accurate answer, the person in front of the sect slowly walked over, and Li Cheng and the others were also curious about this new member who almost couldn't participate in the competition like him, but when they looked up, the three of them opened their mouths one after another.
Because the person who came turned out to be Ye Weidong!
The three of them exclaimed in unison, "Why are you?!"
Ye Weidong was also quite embarrassed, he didn't expect that the people who allowed him to participate in the competition were actually a few of them, especially Qiu Shaoyu, but at this time, he sent people under the fence and had to bow his head: "No matter what, thank you for allowing me to compete, let's work together to get through this big competition first." ”
The three of them smiled bitterly, it was really a coincidence that there was no book, and the two parties who were still opponents some time ago were now forced to cooperate in the same competition.
However, Ye Weidong is right, the most important thing now is to win good results in the competition, not to care about these grievances, so the three of them nodded and shook hands, which can be regarded as accepting this "new member".
But in a moment, the three of them followed the reception staff in the sect into the official competition venue, the inner mansion of the Imperial King Sect, the field was densely packed with people, and the stomachs of the Trinity Group were under the high platform, and above the high platform, it was naturally the referees and heralds of the Imperial King Sect.
