Chapter Twenty-Six: The Empty City?
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Empty City?
When the three of them set off again, a beam of sunlight in the clouds tore through the last darkness and shone obliquely at Abi City. From a distance, there were seven or eight cities in the thick fog between the mountains.
Bai Yunqi and Bai Yunmian were injured and couldn't walk fast, Lin Qingjue didn't have a trace of true qi in his body, but fortunately, the body of the Ninth Demon Venerable was strong enough, but he walked in front.
After walking for more than an hour, the city of Tonghuo was no longer in sight. Lin Qingjue took the two little beauties around left and right with ease, and entered through the side door.
The city was lonely, and there was not a single wisp of smoke in the sky above. The wind blew in the streets, and there was a fluttering sound, and there was not a single ghost soldier in the whole city.
Lin Qingjue's heart suddenly changed: Why is there no one? Could it be that the four major sects have already attacked the Fire City?
When he quickened his pace and came to the Flower Tower, it was almost noon. There were seven or eight futons placed under the Guanhua Building, but they were also empty.
Lin Qing couldn't help frowning, Guanhualou was the residence built by the six ghost kings for themselves, and the six ghost kings were all doing math problems here before, why didn't anyone disappear overnight?
Bai Yunqi also saw that something was wrong, and said strangely: "Why is there no one?"
"That's right, why isn't there anyone?" Lin Qingjue repeated her words and walked upstairs again. The floor slab is wooden, and when you walk up, you can find the sound of knocking. It was especially abrupt in this deathly silence.
The room was empty, but the bedding and pillows on the bed were there.
"Sister Yuchu is not here...... Where did she go?" Lin Qing couldn't help but worry, could it be that the four major sects had already killed all the people when they entered the Fire City?
If you think about it carefully, there are clues, not to mention the flower fairy of the sixth heaven, there are four masters of the fifth heaven, plus Lin Yuchu, she has the Yingtian Sword in her hand, but it is not so easy to deal with.
"I searched the side, but there really wasn't anyone. Bai Yunqi's slightly surprised voice came from her ears, and she said, "Not only is there no one, there is not even a trace of a fight, and the Fire City has become a dead city." ”
"Dead City, overnight, how is it possible?" Lin Qingjue frowned, what happened on the night he left? Why didn't anyone in Tonghuo City disappear? This is impossible! Although Tonghuo City is a small city in Abi City, it is guarded by Hua Xian'er and Lin Yuchu, so it is not so easy to be destroyed! Not to mention that Li Rufeng, Lu Jun, and other ghost kings outside Tonghuo City are vegetarians? How can they watch the enemy destroy Tonghuo City?
Lin Qingjue couldn't figure it out, with Hua Xian'er, the great master of the Six Heavens, even if the four major sects joined forces to besiege Tonghuo City, no one would be left behind. Besides, there is not a single corpse to be found in the Flame City!
"Senior sister, Brother Lin, why is it so quiet here, there were still a lot of ghost soldiers when we came last night!" Bai Yunmian looked at the door behind him timidly, and said with some fear: "Will there be any demons......
Lin Qingjue suddenly said: "Sister Baiyun, did your master and the other three major sects destroy Tonghuo City?"
Bai Yunqi said decisively: "Impossible! I heard Master say that Ah Bi City is the main sect on the Jade Void Continent after all, and countless demons are suppressed under the Infernal Hell. Although we hate the Six Great Ghost Kings for letting go of the Ninth Demon Venerable, we can't tear our faces all at once, that would be bad for anyone. Moreover, my master said that they should salute first and then soldiers, if the six ghost kings are willing to arrest the Ninth Demon Venerable with them, they will not be enemies of Ah Bi City. ”
Lin Qingjue asked coldly, "What if the six ghost kings are disobedient?
Bai Yunqi looked at him a little strangely, and she rarely found that this weak scholar spoke with a bit of murderous aura. She said: "That's not going to happen, Master and Uncle Tu and Uncle Hong have discussed, if the six ghost kings rebel, they will arrest the six ghost kings, and the six cities will be guarded by the four major sects, and none of the ghost soldiers will be killed." In fact, it is not good for you to kill the six ghost kings, after all, there are many demons under the ground of Ah Bi City, who will suppress these demons if you kill them?"
Lin Qingjue exhaled, saying that there was really no need for the four major sects to be wiped out.
He looked at the empty street downstairs, and still couldn't figure out how the city of fire could become a dead city overnight.
"Goo-Goo......
When Lin Qingjue heard this voice, he looked at Bai Yunmian strangely.
Bai Yunmian touched his stomach, blushed and said, "I'm hungry." ”
"I'll look for something to eat, and you wait for me downstairs. After running around all night, Lin Qingjue was actually hungry, and after telling the two, he walked to the back kitchen.
The kitchen is managed by Ah Feng, the master of Baihua Qiong, and it looks clean, and there is nothing on the board except for two wild mountain rus.
Lin Qingjue shook his head, touched a handful of rice in the rice bucket, washed a pot, and made a fire to cook rice porridge. He washed the wild mushrooms and boiled them together, and soon a sweet smell came to his nose in the kitchen.
Lin Qingjue brought the rice porridge to the Guanhualou and shared a bowl with one person.
Bai Yunmian was so hungry that he didn't care about his image, so he drank it all after scooping a big bowl. After drinking, he looked at Lin Qingjue with a little star in his eyes and said, "Brother Lin, you can also cook! The porridge you cook is so delicious." ”
Lin Qingjue saw the admiration on her face, smiled, and said, "What is this." "In his last life, he was a dead otaku, and he made his own meals, although his cooking skills were not good, but cooking porridge was not a good thing?
Bai Yunqi was a lot more gentle, chewed slowly and ate a bowl of wild mountain mushroom porridge, glanced at Lin Qingjue with appreciation, although he didn't say anything, but the look on his face showed that she was very satisfied with what she ate.
Their sisters didn't eat much, and the remaining two bowls were made by Lin Qingjue alone.
After Lin Qingjue finished eating, he burped, put the dishes and chopsticks aside, and lay comfortably on the ground.
After a night of running, he was tired and sleepy, and now he wanted to lie down and sleep.
Turning his head sideways to look at the two sisters, Bai Yunqi sat on the futon, Bai Yunmian lay on her lap and fell asleep, Bai Yunqi looked at her sleeping appearance, and stroked her long hair lovingly.
Lin Qingjie swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but feel envious. That's a great treatment!
He rested his head on his arm, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he put it.
Suddenly, he noticed that it was dark in front of him, and it seemed that someone was walking in front of him.
Lin Qingjue opened his eyes and saw a red-faced Bai Yunqi standing in front of him. He looked at Bai Yunqi strangely and said, "Sister Bai Yun, what's wrong?"
Bai Yunqi looked very embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Where is there a place to take a bath...... I think...... I want to take a bath......" The words behind him were like mosquitoes and flies, and if Lin Qingjue hadn't been close, he really wouldn't have heard it.
