Chapter 7 Exploring the Roots, Twilight City is in Distress
"He, is he really your brother?" After Yuqing brought Ling back, Yi looked at Ling and said with some suspicion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Of course. ”
"It doesn't look like it, you look at you so beautiful, and then look at him so ......"
"What nonsense, I didn't see my brother tired like this. Yuqing glared at Yi and said.
"Oh, yes, yes. Come, I'll take him to rest. Yi quickly grabbed Ling and was about to take him to the room. Ling turned his head to look at Yuqing, who nodded at him and said with a smile: "Go, you're tired too, take a good rest." Ling then left with Yi.
Looking at Ling's back, Yuqing laughed again. Just now Ling told her that that night, not long after he led the man in black away, he was almost unable to hold on. Fortunately, at this time, someone saved him and seriously injured the man in black. After the man in black fled, the man also left. It was too dark for him to see his man's face. For the next two days, Spirit searched for the rain, probably because of the strangeness of the place, and he did not find it until today.
"Sister Luo, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that Yuqing had been laughing, Xiaolan on the side asked a little strangely.
"I'm so happy to finally find him. ”
"Well, I'm also happy for Sister Luo. ”
In the afternoon, Yuqing sat in the courtyard, holding the piece of bamboo in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice that Ling came over.
"What are you thinking?" asked Ling, sitting next to Yuqing.
"Look at this. As he spoke, Yuqing handed over the bamboo slices.
After taking the bamboo piece and looking at it, Ling asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?"
"Yesterday afternoon, I don't know what happened, almost everyone in the village passed out. When I woke up this morning, I found this thing right next to me. I suspected that someone had poisoned the village, and then someone came to our rescue and left us this hint telling us to track down the poisoner. ”
"Are you poisoned too?" asked Ling.
"I don't know. It's strange, I always feel very uncomfortable in my stomach for the past two days, and it hurt even more yesterday, but I don't know what's wrong......" Before Yuqing's words were finished, Ling suddenly stretched out her hand to her lower abdomen. He, what is he going to do? Yuqing's mind was blank at the moment, and his body was frozen there, motionless.
Soon, before the rain could react, Ling had already taken his hand back and said, "Someone has placed a golden silkworm Gu in your body, and the person who has placed the Gu can not only know that they have found you at any time, but also rely on the Gu worm to devour your qi and blood." But the strange thing is that the Gu worm in your body now doesn't have the slightest strength, and it can't threaten you at all. Huh, why are you so red?"
"Ah, I, I'm fine. Yuqing said hurriedly. But I secretly thought to myself that I was thinking too much.
"Didn't you say that someone saved you, why is the Gu worm still in my body, and I can't get rid of it yet?" Ling asked again.
After calming down his mood for a while, after listening to what Ling said, Yuqing frowned, and things were a little complicated. She said: "I think, this Golden Silkworm Gu should have been given to me by the man in black that night, and it should be different from the poison they had yesterday." I guess yesterday's incident is likely to have something to do with the city lord and the man in black in Twilight. ”
"How to say. ”
"Yesterday at noon, Twilight suddenly sent someone to deliver a lot of food. I heard Xiaolan say that the city lord of Twilight City has never been so generous. Moreover, because there is not much food in the village's homes, yesterday at noon, many people ate the food that had just been delivered. Also, do you remember that night, we overheard the conversation between the city lord and the man in black? The rain situation was analyzed.
"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying. By the way, also, if it was yesterday that the person of yours did something to the Gu worm in your body, then this person is very powerful. I feel that even before I lose my memory, it is impossible for the Golden Silkworm Gu to maintain contact with the person who went down to the Gu after losing its vitality. ”
"You mean that the man in black can find us at any time?" If that's the case, then it's a problem, and the two of them are no match for that man combined.
"Hmm. But don't worry, I've remembered some things in the past two days, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with him. ”
"Remembered something?" asked Yuqing, looking at Ling with some confusion.
"Yes, something about witchcraft. As for the memory, there is still none. ”
"Oh, that's right. ”
"What? are you leaving?" Yi asked with some surprise as he looked at the rain and spirit.
After discussing with the two, they decided to go to Twilight City to find out
"Yes, Brother Yi, thanks to your care for the past two days, we don't want to trouble you anymore. Yuqing said.
"No trouble, no trouble. Hearing what the rain said, Yi hurriedly said.
"Sister Luo. At this time, Xiaolan came over and hugged Yuqing. Holding Xiaolan, Yuqing knew that she was very reluctant, so why shouldn't she?
"Sister is leaving, don't cry, I don't know if we can meet again in the future. The rain wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiaolan's eyes and said softly.
"Where are you going?" Yi asked.
"We're going to go to Twilight first. "Lingdao.
"Okay, I'll send you off. ”
In the castle lord's mansion in Twilight.
"What, you say they don't have anything to do?" said the middle-aged man incredulously to a subordinate.
"Yes, Lord Castle, we have been hiding in the shadows and have never left, and they really have nothing to do. The man knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
The city lord picked up a black bottle on the table, stared at it for a long time, and asked, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this?"
"Yes...... Ah, no, yesterday afternoon, somehow, a gust of wind blew, and we fell asleep in a daze, and we didn't wake up until the evening. ”
"You ...... Forget it, you go down first. ”
"Yes, yes. Hearing the words of the city lord, the man was relieved and quickly left here.
The lord of the city put the black bottle on the table and scolded, "Damn!" Then he sighed again, and said to himself, "What should I do......? Can I run away? Can I regret it? Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. What to do?
Just as he was fidgety, there was a cacophony outside.
"You can't go in. ”
"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude. ”
Before the lord could stand up, the door to the room was opened.
"Yes...... It's you. After staring at the two who broke in for a long time, the city lord finally recognized them.
"City Lord, we don't mean to offend, we're just here to ask you something. Yuqing was afraid that the spirit would make some "unkind" moves, so she walked up to the spirit and said. Yes, it was the rain and the spirit that broke into here at this time. The two of them left Moonfall Village and walked west for a short time before arriving at Twilight City. After inquiry, they came to the City Lord's Mansion. They were originally very kind and told the gatekeeper that they wanted to see the city lord, but they didn't expect the man's attitude to be very bad. This angered Ling, and he rushed in without saying a word. Yuqing was helpless, so he had to follow.
"What do you want to ask?" said the city lord, standing up. Although he said so, he had something else in mind.
"We just wanted to ask the city lord, why did you arrest us and release us again? What does this mean?" asked Yuqing.
Ling looked at Yuqing with some doubts, and the city lord was also stunned for a moment. It seems that they ran on their own. Soon, the city lord smiled and said very enthusiastically: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I thought you were a spy sent by Southern Xinjiang at that time, but later I found out the truth, of course I should let you go." Come on, please take a seat. The city lord invited the two of them to sit down very warmly.
"Come, drink tea. The city lord poured tea for the two of them very enthusiastically. Yuqing felt that this city lord was very strange, but he didn't know what was wrong. Ling picked up the teacup and sniffed it, nothing unusual, but he didn't drink it either. Yuqing also didn't drink, she said: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then we won't disturb the city lord." ”
Seeing the two of them get up and leave, he smiled at the city lord: "Three, two, one, down." As soon as the words fell, Yu Qing and Ling suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"I, how do I feel that my whole body has no strength?" said Yuqing with some panic.
"Me too. ”
"Come on, the two of them locked me up. The city lord didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent someone to pull them down. At this time, they have realized that they have been given a yin. It's just that they can't figure it out, they have been careful enough, how can they still be tricked? In fact, the city lord of Chao has already put a colorless and tasteless medicine in the tea, which can make people's whole body weak. The medicine will be dispersed into the air with the heat of the tea, and if you inhale it, you will quickly collapse. And the city lord had taken the antidote beforehand, so he was naturally fine.
"Hmph, since that didn't work out, let's use the two of you to deal with it. However, it's been a few days, why hasn't he come yet......" Chao said to himself with the black bottle in the city lord's hand.
Yu Qing didn't expect that they would return to this cell a few days later. However, this time it seems that it is not as lucky as last time. Yuqing felt that his body was soft, and he didn't have any strength in his whole body. She was puzzled when the city lord did it, and they didn't even notice it.
"How are you?" asked Rain Eyes, turning to Ling.
"I can't move, and my spiritual power has been sealed. Spirit replied.
Yuqing felt that she was a failure, defeated, but she didn't even know how to lose.
"Do you know how he did it?" asked Yuqing.
"You're asking me?"
"What else can I ask besides you?" Yuqing glanced at Ling and said angrily.
"If I knew, I wouldn't have told you a long time ago. ”
Yuqing knew that they were really in a desperate situation this time. I encountered danger a few times before, but I still had the strength to escape. But this time, they can only be slaughtered.
"What are you thinking?" Ling asked, seeing that Yuqing stopped talking.
"I don't know. After a pause, Yuqing said, "I used to think that I would spend my life peacefully in Biluo Village. But fate is so wonderful that I got to know you and brought us here. Spirit, do you regret it?"
"What do you mean?" the spirit wondered.
"If you hadn't known me and hadn't come to Biluo Village, you wouldn't have come to Huaxia with me, and you wouldn't have encountered so many dangers. ”
"Well, this doesn't seem like it's up to me to decide, I remember you brought me back in the first place. ”
"Hehe, I'm kidding you, don't be so serious......"
In this dark cell, they don't know the time, and there is no one to bring food. Tired of chatting and feeling hungry, before you know it, both of them are asleep.
After waking up, the miracle did not appear, and the rain still felt weak, and there was no change from before. However, inadvertently, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an extra person next to her. This shocked her. When you wake up, how can there be one more person?
"Spirit, Spirit, wake up. Yuqing's voice trembled a little, this scene is really a little weird.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Here, here, there's one more person. ”
"What?" the spirit looked over there, and sure enough, there was a man lying not far from them. Ling stared at the man's back for a long time, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"This person looks a little familiar. Spirit said to the rain.
"Really?" Yu Qing didn't look closely before because of his panic. At this time, he looked at that person again, and suddenly remembered, isn't he Brother Yi who just separated from them.
"It's Brother Yi. Brother Yi, Brother Yi, why are you here?" Yu Qing shouted. But Yi didn't react, I don't know if he fell asleep or fell unconscious.
Both Yu Qing and Ling were speculating about how Yi would appear here.
After a while, Yi woke up.
Seeing the two of them, Yi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You guys, why are you here?"
"I was about to ask why you're here?" said Yuqing.
"I'm still weird. I happened to come to Twilight City on something, so I asked where you were by the way, but I didn't expect to be caught in the City Lord's Mansion in a daze, and I was beaten up, and then I didn't know anything. By the way, what about you?"
"We, too, were captured by the city lord, I don't know why. ”
"Hmph, this city lord often arrests people for no reason, and he doesn't listen to him let them go, and those people seem to have disappeared. A few days ago, he sent us food, and I thought his conscience had found out, but I didn't expect it to ......," Yi said resentfully.
Listening to his words, Yuqing secretly said in his heart: He sent you food, and it didn't have any good intentions.
"Easy ...... Brother, listen to you, this city lord of Twilight City, only arrests people, and does not release people?" Ling suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes. We, ordinary people, dare not be angry with him. ”
"Did you think of something?" Rain Qing looked at Lingdao.
"Yes, the man in black......"
"You mean, he ...... with the lord of the city" Yuqing understood Ling's thoughts.
"That's right. Moreover, in the previous incident of Moonfall Village, it is very likely that the man in black was the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"Hey, hey, what are you two talking about?" Yi saw that the two ignored him, and said something as if no one was there, and suddenly felt ignored.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. Yuqing said quickly.
Just as Yi was about to speak again, there was a sudden sound of the door opening outside, and his words were swallowed immediately.
