Volume 1 The First Entry into the Troubled Times Chapter 99 Is It a Dream or a Prophecy
After a while, the carrots came in under the quilt.
"Radish, what's wrong with you?" Chiaki asked as she poured her a bowl of water and handed it to her.
The carrot only took a small bite and said, "Brother Qianqiu, I've been dreaming, I dreamed that the stinky snake came back to seek revenge on you, and it bit off your head in one bite!"
"Don't worry, it's so badly cultivated, I won't let it bite my head. Chiaki said casually while looking at the book.
"Brother Qianqiu, I really dreamed that he became the closest person to you, and he took the opportunity to kill you!"
Qianqiu raised his eyes and said, "According to what you mean, that Bihua Snake Demon has already cultivated the Technique of Change? When that blue flower snake cultivates to the Soul Devouring Demon stage, how many years will it be?"
"Brother Qianqiu, anyway, you're right to listen to me. If you hadn't stayed in the Oriental faction in my dream, you wouldn't have died. Run, Brother Qianqiu, the Oriental faction is not the place you should be. Carrot said earnestly, but it was obvious that she was tired.
When Qianqiu heard it, she felt that this was a little familiar. But he didn't think much of it, he looked at the dark night outside, and said, "Got it, turnip, go to sleep." ”
After saying that, he wanted to coax the carrot to sleep.
"Brother Qianqiu...... I'm really worried about you......" Carrot may have been a little overexcited, talking too much and too quickly, but now she is a little tired, and her voice is gradually softer.
Qianqiu smiled slightly and said softly, "You finally said that you were tired." ”
The carrot babbled gibberishly for a while before falling asleep on her stomach.
Qianqiu stood up, picked up the carrot, walked to the side room, put her away, covered her with the quilt again, gently stroked the carrot's head a few times, and said, "Sleep, you won't have nightmares when you wake up." ”
After a while, Chiaki suddenly remembered the situation just now.
"What Radish said just now, why is it so similar to the words of the person that Black Wind Hongzhu said...... Could it be ......." Qianqiu thought to himself as he looked at the sleeping carrot, but he quickly shook his head and said to himself: "What am I thinking, can these two carrots order those two fox demons?"
He helped the carrot fold the quilt and went back to the house.
【Devil's Prefecture, Qingshui County】
You Buyu and Peng Qi rushed to Qingshui County before dawn.
The entrance gate of Qingshui County is closed.
"It's already Mao, why don't you open the city gate yet?" You Bu said to Peng Qi silently, and yawned after speaking.
Peng Qi looked at it and said, "Don't speak, you should be very tired." ”
"Well, I'm a little sleepy. After entering the city, Senior Brother Peng Qi, let's find an inn to rest for a while. The dark circles under You's silent eyes loomed, and she herself kept yawning.
Peng Qi looked at You Buzhi's appearance, couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: "It's obviously a little girl who can't stay up late, why bother holding on?"
"Okay, when the gates open, let's rest and eat something. Peng Qi nodded.
Half an hour passed, and the gates were still closed.
Peng Qixin said: "This is too wrong, according to the time, the people of Qingshui County should also come out to farm." He glanced at the wandering silent, and then walked towards the city gate.
"Anyone?" Peng slammed the knocker a few times.
No one answered.
"Bang bang!" Peng Qi slammed the door a few more times.
There was still no answer behind the door.
"This is weird!" Peng Qi thought to himself, his face changed slightly.
At this time, You Buyu, who was standing behind, stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, it stands to reason that even if you don't open the city gate, there should be a reaction inside, but I listen to this quiet, Qingshui County is like an empty city." ”
"Let's just go in and have a look. Peng Qi suggested.
"Hmm. You Buyu nodded.
The two jumped on the wall of the county seat, stood on the top of the wall and looked at it, and found that the county town was empty.
There was no one on the street or on the bridge on the side of the road.
The restaurants and shops on the roadside are closed.
Qingshui County has really become an empty city.
You Buyu was puzzled, and said with a surprised face: "Senior Brother Peng Qi, this ......"
Peng Qi's face was solemn, he re-observed for a while, and said, "I didn't smell any people's breath. If it was slaughtered by the demon clan, or if there was some accident to destroy the city, it would not be so clean and tidy. Flying locusts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the contract charm and summoned a bunch of flying locusts.
"Brothers, take a look around. As soon as Peng Qi finished speaking, the locusts immediately flew away.
After waiting for half an hour, many locusts flew back and stopped in front of Peng Qi, "buzzing".
After Peng Qi heard this, he nodded and said to You Buyu: "Silent, the people in the whole county are in Sanchuan Lake!"
"Sanchuan Lake?" You Buyu has never heard of this place.
Peng Qi said: "Not far from here, the locusts told me that they were trapped under Sanchuan Lake. ”
"Tens of thousands of people in the county are trapped under a lake?" You Buyu said in surprise.
"I don't know, let's go and see, there must be something strange here. Peng Qi said.
After he finished speaking, he led the way and rushed to Sanchuan Lake not far away, and followed closely without saying a word.
【Devil's Evil State, Sanchuan Lake】
The two looked at Sanchuan Lake, which had large and small puddles, and were stunned.
"Where are they?" You silently looked around, but found no sign of anyone.
"At our feet. Peng Qi said with a solemn face.
You Buyu was startled, hurriedly raised his foot, and asked, "Peng Qi...... Brother...... You're saying they're all underground?"
That's what the locusts said, and said that they were all unconscious, but their lives were not lost. Peng Qi said.
You Buyu nodded, frowned, and asked, "Senior Brother Peng Qi, how did so many people go underground? And if they have no injuries on their bodies, is it voluntary?"
Peng Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's so strange that if it weren't for the locusts to help us, we wouldn't even know where the whole county would have gone. ”
"Senior brother, what should we do now?" You Buyu asked, "If they went underground voluntarily, was it done by demons or artificially?
Peng Qi thought for a while and said: "This matter is too strange, the real murderer seems to have the ability to move mountains and seas, or have the ability to deceive people's hearts." ”
"Senior Brother Peng Qi, don't worry about it so much, no matter who does it, it's important that we save people first. You Buyu suggested.
Peng Qi stopped You Bu and said: "I can't save it, this land is hanging in the air, whether we break through the ground or dig out, these sand and soil will be instantly hollowed out, and then crush the people below to death." ”
"What should I do?" You Bu was silent, and he was so anxious that he was sweating down.
Peng Qi said: "We either find the real culprit or find the entrance. It's not impossible to find the intersection, but there are too many small lakes and small pits in Sanchuan Lake, if you just rely on the two of us to find it, I'm afraid you can't find it for three days and three nights. ”
You Buyu thought to himself, "If only I had chosen the earth-based technique...... Eh, isn't Peng Qi a master of earth-based magic?"
"Senior Brother Peng Qi, aren't you a master of earth-based techniques? can you try to control this soil to only go up and not fall down. ”
Peng Qi replied in embarrassment: "Don't speak, it's not that I haven't thought about it." But my spell can only control a part of the soil, but what the locusts have just told me is that tens of thousands of people are buried together, and the sand covered by the upper layer stretches for miles, and I can't control all of them. ”
You Buyu listened, nodded one after another, and then said, "Then let's find out who did it first." What the hell does this murderer want to do? bury people but don't kill them. ”
At this moment, a few locusts flew back and shouted at Peng Qi a few times.
Peng Qi's face changed a little, and he nodded again and again.
There is a group of suspicious people in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers behind Sanchuan Lake!" Peng Qi said excitedly.
You Buyu hurriedly urged: "Senior Brother Peng Qi, then let's hurry up and take a look, maybe they will be murderers, the air underground is scarce, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of people may suffocate to death at any time." ”
She was anxious to let Peng Qi lead the way to find those people.
"Suffocation?" Peng Qi seemed to think of something, and said: "Silent, I may know who did it, let's go on the road, Wanhua Valley is also very close to here." ”
【Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers】
Wanhua Valley is not far from Sanchuan Lake, and there are various kinds of flowers growing in the valley. Due to the watering of Sanchuan Lake and the suitable temperature of the place, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers is full of flowers all year round, and all kinds of strange flowers compete for beauty and never wither.
You Buyu and Peng Qi lay down in a small flower field at this time, carefully observing the group of people standing not far away.
You Buyu glanced at it, and there were more than a dozen people standing, each wearing a dark robe and holding a wooden sword.
Although the styles of these people's robes were different, each of them had a lot of strange talismans on top of their robes, and they all wore tattered hats on top of their heads.
"Senior brother, are they humans or demons, or beggars?" You Buyu had never seen such a strangely dressed person, and couldn't help asking.
Peng Qi looked at the group of people standing in front of him seriously, and said slowly: "It seems that I guessed correctly, it is indeed them." ”
