Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Sky Is Changing
"Exactly. The palace still remembers that the three murders in Shengyan County, the first one happened more than a month ago, according to the case file, that day, we happened to be the day after the attack of the Blood Mist Mercenary Group, and the death of the Flying Moon Pavilion Lord was also more than a month ago, Yueyang Shunxing City was slaughtered, and it was also more than a month ago, and even the first time the palace saw that black figure in that ruins, it was also after this day, these things were all related to the black mist, that day, or those days, what happened?"
Lou Yanxin didn't speak, and her face was full of thought.
After a while, Qiu Shu asked again: "I'm afraid there won't be any results in this matter for a while, let's put it aside for the time being, why is that black stone in Sheng Ash today, what is it, what do you think?"
"Let's talk about the black stone first, this subordinate doesn't know, as for why Sheng Ash wants it, I'm afraid only Sheng Shen himself knows, do you need to ask your subordinates?" Lou Yanxin said.
Qiu Shu thought for a while and said: "Forget it, that thing, if what Ning Zhenzhen said is true, I'm afraid it is a very dangerous item, this palace is just a little worried, Sheng Shen is young and ignorant, in case he is really hurt, then it is not what we want." ”
"This subordinate understands that the black stone is obviously related to those black mist, and it is indeed very dangerous, but the subordinate thinks that the child Sheng Shen does not seem to be so stupid, Your Highness, do you remember what the three people confessed?"
"The three of them? Oh, this palace remembers, you mean, they were all taken down by Sheng Ash?"
"Exactly, Sheng Shen looks like he is seven or eight years old this year, but he can capture three martial arts children alive, and successfully sneak attack Miao Lao Er, in terms of his combat talent and mentality, he is not overwhelmed by an adult at all, so his subordinates feel that since he is going to leave the black stone, he must have his own ideas, if he asks immediately, I am afraid it will cause him to be disgusted, it is better to wait until he returns to Qiujing City, and then find a chance to get the answer. Lou Yanxin said.
"Reasonably, Hongu thinks so too. If nothing else, go and rest, and set off on time tomorrow. ”
"Yes. ”
In the Sheng Gray Room, every time he ran the Yuan Demon Sutra, he could clearly feel that a Demon Source Crystal had been refined and integrated into his bone marrow, and his body was also undergoing changes bit by bit.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was early in the morning of the next day, and Sheng Shen, who was refining the demon core, suddenly moved in his heart, and a voice came in: "Childe, is it convenient to speak?"
It is Li Xinzhu's soul sound.
What's the matter with her at this time?
Li Xinzhu did not follow this team this time, but separated from them since he left Shengyan County, and at this time, those people behind should be a few days away from them.
"Say it. Sheng Ash also replied with a soul voice.
"Childe, we are still in the Crescent Moon Province now, yesterday we passed a big mountain, shaped like a cockscomb, encountered an incident, the little maid felt very necessary, so I wanted to report it. ”
"Jiguan Mountain, I know there, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is very good, what's wrong?"
"Our party was once attacked by a kingfisher as we passed the mountainside of Cockscomb Mountain. ”
"Kingfisher?"
"Exactly, it's just that this kingfisher is completely different from ordinary kingfishers, its feathers are not blue-green, but a pure black color, its eyes are also blood-red, and there is still a faint black mist on its body. ”
"Oh? ”
"Yes, when this black kingfisher appeared, it flew at great speed in front of a soldier at the front of our team, and the soldier was caught off guard and was pecked blind in one eye before he could react. The soldiers immediately counterattacked, and Yang Xiangle also opened his bow and arrows, but the quiver was all shot out, and he couldn't touch a single hair of the black kingfisher. However, after being on guard, several of its attacks were unsuccessful. After a stalemate of two hours, he left very unwillingly. But the terrible thing was not there, the soldier who had been pecked by it was blinded, and from his eyes continued to flow a distinctly blackened blood, which was very corrosive, and soon the flesh was rotten where it flowed on his face, and by now he had died after a whole day of howling in pain. ”
"And after that?" asked Ash, "where did the black kingfisher go?" ”
"I don't know, I flew into the mountains. As soon as she said this, the little maid suddenly remembered something, this cockscomb mountain seems to be a little too quiet, in the position of the mountain, the little maid didn't pay attention to it, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be shrouded in a faint black mist, does it have something to do with this?"
"Yes, I remember, isn't Yang Xiangle's archery technique always recognized as the first in the Fifth Regiment, and even he can't help that black kingfisher at all?"
"Yes, Childe. The black kingfisher was extremely fast, in fact, in the team, Yang Xiangle was not the only one who was good at archery, there were many people who were with bows and arrows, but no one could really touch the black kingfisher. ”
"Okay, I see, is there anything else?"
"That's it. ”
"Very well, if there are things like this in the future, report them to me at any time. In addition, after sunrise, you choose a way that does not make people suspicious, to remind the team you are in, to leave the cockscomb mountain as soon as possible, if the road ahead is not passable, even if it is a bend, do not force forward, if it is really impossible, you focus on saving your own life. ”
"Understood, thank you, Childe. ”
Since then, Li Xinzhu's voice has never sounded again, and Sheng Shen put away the magic core that seemed to have no change, and then fell into deep thought.
It's demonic qi again, how many cases are this?
Sheng Ash had a feeling that the frequency of demonic qi seemed to be getting higher and higher, but according to his observation, Qiushu and Lou Yanxin didn't seem to know anything about demonic qi, including the people he usually saw, and the same was true, and there was only one Xuanyu Lord, who knew what this thing was, but Xuanyu Lord, it didn't seem that he had the slightest intention of making it public.
He didn't know what Lord Xuanyu thought, but since she didn't want to say it, there must be a reason for her, Sheng Shen thought about it, and also felt that it was better for him not to talk to Qiushu and them about this matter for the time being, otherwise, if she asked, how did he know, and he didn't want to lie, and he didn't want to involve Lord Xuanyu, so it was better not to say it at all.
It's just that in the future, if you encounter it again, you should pay more attention.
At this time, hundreds of miles away from Yanweidu, in the west of a barren mountain, there was a dense forest, in the forest there was a clear spring, forming a small lake around it, on the shore of the small lake, a bonfire was burning, there were two people sitting side by side by the bonfire, behind them, two white horses.
These two people, a man and a woman, if they see anyone in the Yueke Inn today, I am afraid they will be able to recognize it, this is the Hua Mantang couple.
Hua Mantang put his arm around the shoulders of the heroic woman and said, "Madam, how do you feel now?"
"Much better, Hualang, let's hurry up, don't miss your master's orders. ”
The heroic woman said and was about to stand up, but was held down by Hua Mantang.
"It's all right, ma'am, let's rest for a quarter of an hour, not too much for a quarter of an hour. You were already pregnant, and your body was weak, and when you suddenly heard the bad news of Feiyue Pavilion, your mind was really a little lost, and if you were overworked, you might be angry. Hua Mantang smiled.
The heroic woman reached out and gently stroked Hua Mantang's face, and said, "Hua Lang, you have always been so good to me, I really don't know what great good deeds I did in my last life to let me meet you in this life." ”
"No, it's not you. Hua Mantang said: "It's me, if I really have a previous life, maybe I saved the entire Dinu Continent, and this is the blessing of this life." ”
The heroic woman couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said, she looked at the bubbling spring in the small lake in front of her, and said, "Hualang, what do you think of the recent events in the inn?"
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. As for the matter of your master, I am afraid that it is not simple. ”
"Is it related to what we're going to investigate this time?"
"It's very likely, but we still have to wait until we get to Jiguan Mountain to make a decision, but, I heard Shizun say that sending us here this time seems to be the intention of the sect master, and before we leave, do you remember that Shizun said something to the old man. ”
"The sky is about to change. The heroic woman didn't think about it, and immediately said, when the master of the flower hall said this, she looked up at the sky, she thought she was just saying that the weather was going to get cooler, and even snowing, but now listening to Hualang's tone, how can it seem that there is another deep meaning in it?
It was this sentence that I am beginning to feel the same way now. ”
"Is it because of the black mist?" asked the handsome woman.
"Yes, but it's more than that, if I'm right, it's likely that there's more to the black mist than we know, and if that's the case, then have you ever thought about the ripple effect?" asked Hanamitsu.
"You mean, the situation in the Three Kingdoms?" asked the heroic woman, her eyes lit up.
"Yes, I'm afraid, there will be a new war, and this time, I am afraid that the scale will be even larger. Hua Mantang frowned, a worried look.
