Chapter 81: Into Nanyang
In a cave in the Southern Wilderness, there were ten people sitting cross-legged, and these ten people were wrapped in black cloth all over their bodies, and only their heads were exposed. Behind these ten people, there was also a beautiful young woman, the woman's eyes were closed, she should be practicing the exercises, and the position of these ten people was around the woman, as if she was protecting the Dharma.
Suddenly, a strange insect flew in from outside the cave and landed on one of them. When this person saw this strange insect, he showed a surprised expression, and then he looked at the woman who was cultivating behind him and did not speak.
This strange insect is the Gu worm that quietly flew away when Miao Yuan died. It was dark at that time, and neither Gong Yanxiu nor Xiaohu noticed it, so they let the Gu worm escape.
After a while, the woman next to her eyes opened her eyes.
"Holy Maiden!" Seeing the woman open her eyes, the ten people all stood up and saluted. "You don't have to be so restrained when you go outside. The woman's voice softened, and she rose to her feet.
"Holy Maiden, I have something to tell you!" said the man who received the strange worm. "What's the matter?" the woman asked. "Holy Maiden, Miao Yuan and the other four people under my command have been killed. ”
"What?" the other nine all looked at the person who spoke. "Just now, the Gu worm in Miao Yuan's body flew back. This person took the strange insect to heart and said: "Gu worms are generally parasitic in the master's body and will not act alone, but Miao Yuan's Gu worm flew back, but Miao Yuan didn't see it, which can only mean that he is dead, so the Gu worm left him and came back alone." ”
"Who dares to kill the people of my Wu Clan!" "The people present already understood the reason why the Gu worm came back alone, so they were all extremely angry. Thinking that he is a Wu clan, he is also the top force in the Southern Wilderness, this time out of the Wu Clan, it has not been a few days, and he has actually lost his subordinates, how can he not be angry.
"Elder Miao Yang, might you find the murderer?" the woman said. "Holy Maiden!" Miao Yang arched his hand and said, "As long as the murderer appears within three miles of the Gu worms, the Gu worms can sense it." ”
"Okay," the woman's eyes lit up, "Our Wu clan people didn't die in vain, I'm here to see who is so bold to let the Gu worms lead the way, let's go to the place where Miao Yuan and they died first." "Yes!" Miao Yang let go of the strange insect, and then the woman left the cave with ten people.
The dilapidated house outside Anyou City is exactly where Miao Yuan's four people were killed. At this moment, there were eleven people standing in this dilapidated house, and they were the same people in the cave who were headed by women. After Miao Yuan died, the corpse was naturally discovered, but this year, it is normal for a few corpses to appear outside the city, so the bodies of Miao Yuan and others have been left without knowing where to go. Now in this house, only some traces of the activities of Miao Yuan and others are left.
"There was no sign of fighting, the house was not vandalized, and Miao Yuan and they were killed without any resistance!" the woman found out when she arrived. "It's impossible! Miao Yuan, how could they not resist, or did they have no time to resist. "The person who spoke was also one of the ten, named Miao Yan.
"If Miao Yuan and the others can be killed before they have time to resist, at least they have to be in the day after tomorrow. Miao Yang said. "However, why did the martial artists of the acquired eightfold kill Miao Yuan and others, it is absolutely impossible for them to provoke the martial artists of the acquired eightfold, and this kind of martial artist, when Miao Yuan reported the Wu clan, it is impossible not to know the Wu clan. ”
"It doesn't matter who he is, even if it's the acquired ninefold, my Wu clan is not afraid. The strongest of the ten said aloud.
"I'm curious about who the murderer really is, and I have to find the murderer quickly. The woman ordered. "Holy Maiden, I looked at the traces in the courtyard, and there were traces that went south. Miao Shan returned to the house from the outside and said to the woman. Miao Shan was the best of the ten, and everyone else believed what he said.
"Elder Miao Shan, please lead the way ahead. The woman spoke, without hesitation.
"Yes. Miao Shan took the woman and the others and chased down the traces found.
At this time, Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu had no idea that someone was chasing after them, and they didn't expect that their tracks would be exposed so quickly.
"Ah Xiu, where are we going next. Xiaohu asked. "I remember that the little farmer sister said before, Anyou City to the south, is Nanyang City, this Nanyang City is one of the few big cities in the Southern Wilderness, the city lord is said to be an acquired nine-fold master, as long as we enter the city, even if the Wu clan finds us, we don't dare to be too presumptuous in the city. Gong Yan said as he spoke.
"Yes, but will the Wics really be able to find us? Xiaohu said. "Don't be careless, we don't know about the Wu Clan, but their methods are really weird, and Brother Gu also said that the Wu Clan lives in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, and few people know about it, maybe they have other tracking methods. "Yes. Xiaohu nodded, and walked briskly forward with Gong Yanxiu.
On the other side, Miao Shan took the lead, leading the woman and the others to quickly catch up along the traces left by Gong Yanxiu.
"Elder Miao Yang, why did Miao Yuan and the others go to Anyou City!" the woman asked. "Holy Maiden, Miao Yuan, when we left, they received a secret order from the patriarch, asking them to find something, what exactly does this refer to, I don't know, Miao Yuan just told me that they received a secret order. If you want to know, you'll have to go back and ask the patriarch for yourself. Miao Yang explained.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask the patriarch about this. The woman said, "According to the path led by Elder Miao Shan, this is the direction of Nanyang City." "Yes, Holy Maiden, it is Nanyang City. Miao Yang replied. "I really didn't expect it, we came out this time to come to Nanyang City, but we just wanted to see the terroir of the Southern Wilderness, so we didn't enter the city for the first time, and this turned back. There was a slight smile on the corner of the woman's mouth, which should be destined in the dark.
When it got dark, Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu stopped, and on the other side, the woman and others were also adjusting their state. The night passed quickly, and the next day, after another half day of hurrying, Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu saw the tall city wall in front of them.
"It should be Nanyang City in front!" Gong Yanxiu said. "Is this Nanyang City?" Xiaohu also saw the city wall, which was very majestic.
The closer you get to Nanyang City, the more people on the way into the city, Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu also came to Nanyang City, Nanyang City has two doors in front of it, one in and one out, above the center of the two gates, engraved with three big words of Nanyang City. In front of the city gate, Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu lined up along the crowd and entered Nanyang City.
The streets of Nanyang City can be described as full of traffic. The city has a large population, many shops, the sound of chatting on the streets, the sound of drinking in restaurants, and the cries of doing business. Gong Yanxiu and Xiaohu, who entered the city, really thought that they had returned to the central part again, and they were very prosperous.
The two of them walked around Nanyang City, and their mood was a lot more relaxed.
