Chapter 138: Ruyi (7)
The team moved forward slowly, all with solemn expressions. Romance debuts
The piece of paper with names written on it passed from the head of the team to the tail. The people in the team had to write in teams of at least two, and the monks and Chen's people were mixed to prevent someone or one of them from acting as a demon.
Finally, the paper was returned to Xingong.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the ranks.
Liu Xiaohua turned around and saw Chen Yi'er screaming, with a ghostly expression on her face.
Chen Mingye went over and asked her, "What's wrong?" β
"Si'er is gone. She, she's suddenly gone. Chen Yier almost cried, "Is it because of that extra harm!" β
When she said this, the others were alarmed. Look around.
Chen Yi'er saw that the team had no intention of stopping, and asked with a crying voice, "Can't you look for her?" In the end, it is the people of the Chen family, we are leaving like this, how can we be at peace in our hearts! β
Chen Mingye was kind to her, but said, "It's impossible to stop." β
"What happens when you stop?" Chen Yier asked with tears in her eyes.
Chen Mingye didn't know how to respond for a while, and the Chen family's classics only said taboos, but did not say the consequences in detail. Maybe it's going to die, maybe it's worse than death?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Yi'er turned around and ran to the front of the team and said to Ji An, "I want to see Gongzi." β
Ji Ann had a strange attitude towards her. Although she didn't take the initiative to say anything at the beginning, it was as if she didn't exist, but now that Chen Yi'er came to the door, he didn't despise it, and said politely: "If the son wants to see you, he will give orders." β
Liu Xiaohua looked back at Xiao Xiao, the vine yarn hung heavily, and she couldn't see the person in the pickup.
Chen Yi'er said angrily: "He's still angry with me? I already know that he is wrong, how can he be so careful as a male husband. The subordinates are inappropriate, and I didn't let them do this. Besides, it's been more than a year since then, and now it's a matter of human life, he, can't he change his anger? β
Liu Xiaohua only thought it was funny. I really wonder how Ji Liu treated her, and let her not be afraid of him like this.
Ji An said, "Without Childe's instructions, I won't go to disturb Childe." He refused to promise to speak for her.
Chen Yi'er bit her lip and turned her head to look at Xiao Xiao complainingly, and said, "For the sake of my safety, he didn't want to ...... Is it really because of this little thing that you keep alienating me? I used to see him, I wanted to look for him, and he was not angry. "I want to see him, if he wants to be angry, just kill me!" β
Ji An hurried to stop her.
At this time, Chen Mingye also reacted and grabbed her, "Even if the son agrees, we can't stop." This is the ancestral teaching! Go to the road, and do not stop. Otherwise we will all be in danger! β
Chen Yi'er said angrily: "Although her life alone is a minority compared with the lives of more than a dozen of us, if you and I are in trouble, don't you want to be rescued?" If you want others to help you when you are in trouble, you can't just try to benefit yourself when others need help! As long as you live, others can do whatever you want? β
Chen Mingye didn't expect her to have such a reason, she was so stunned by her, she just felt that she didn't say it like this, but I don't know how to say it, is she just trying to benefit herself? I held it in one breath, I couldn't go up or down, and I had to say "I can't stop!" in the end. He also specially told Old Man Ning, "Let's go faster." β
Chen Yi'er stomped her feet angrily. was pulled away by another Chen's girl.
When Xingong went over and suddenly asked her, "I don't know who the fourth child you are talking about is?" Is it one of the many people in your Chen family? β
Chen Mingye shook his head beside him, he thought that the four children in Chen Yi'er's mouth were one of the monks, and she didn't know how to get acquainted with each other, so she took the other party as a friend. Anyway, the six members of the Chen family are all standing here, four men and two women. There is no one named Si'er.
But Chen Yi'er said to Xingong: "It's us together." Si'er is my daughter. β
Chen Mingye was stunned.
The other people in the Chen family were incredulous, and one of them asked Chen Yi'er, "You brought a waiter?" β
Chen Yi'er was very embarrassed: "I didn't bring her either, she secretly followed." I hadn't noticed it before, but when I looked back, I found her following the tail of the group. It's already on the road, and it's hard to ask her to go back. So I asked her to be with me. β
Another woman from the Chen family looked at Chen Yi'er's expression like seeing a ghost, "You are crazy, how can you treat a woman." We have a total of six people from the Chen family here, one from me, one from you, one from Mingye, one from Mingzhi, one from Minglu, and one from Duoxi. I saw Duoxi standing next to you talking to you, but I didn't see anything. β
As he spoke, he turned back to find the one named Duoxi, and after looking around for a while, he didn't notice that the faces of the other Chen family members had become very ugly.
One of them had a slightly pitched voice and asked the woman in the Chen family, "Hui'er, who are you talking about?" β
"Isn't Duoxi the person next to Sister Yuan?" The woman in the Chen family who was called Hui'er already knew that something was wrong, and her face turned white with fright. She didn't find Doki. He said: "I thought that Sister Yi'er could come to Yuan, but Sister Yuan, as the eldest daughter, couldn't come, so I was not convinced and asked Duoxi to come over, wondering what Rihe was like." β
β¦β¦
The Chen family exploded all at once.
The monk was so tired that he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and everyone secretly looked at each other, afraid that they were the same as the people of the Chen family, and they thought that they were partners all the way, but in fact, they shouldn't have been here.
It was not surprising that the letter arrived. He handed Ji An the piece of paper with his name written on it.
Ji An frowned and looked at it for a while, her expression becoming more and more strange.
Liu Xiaohua spun in circles at his feet, although she had already roughly guessed what was going on. She wanted to confirm her vision.
But she was too short, and she struggled to jump and stretch her neck. The eyes are going to be out of the frame. Didn't see anything either. In the end, I had to give up. Zhou Qing was calm. Thoughtful look. Liu Xiaohua wanted to talk to him, but when she opened her mouth, she only had a "Wang"
Zhou Qing looked back at her and couldn't understand what she meant.
She had no choice but to give up trying to communicate with him.
Xin Gong took the paper and asked one by one, asking them to circle all the people who were now missing from their companions. On the Chen family's side, plus the monks' side, there are as many as fifteen people who have disappeared now.
Liu Xiaohua understood. Everyone must have seen the extra one, but they all thought it was someone they knew. Although there are more than a dozen extra names now, there is actually only one. It's just that in everyone's eyes, it's a different look. She just didn't understand, how could this be done? After all, you can't use spirit here.
The Chen family was in an uproar, and the monk was still calm. Presumably, they have been practicing outside for many years, and they have encountered a lot of strange things, although they are surprised and have become vigilant, but they will not lose their way because of this.
After Xin Gong finished checking the number of people, he made sure that those people were gone, and then began to count the number of people again.
Now that the person is gone, the number should be right now.
You can count them all over again. Or one more person.
His face was solemn, and after counting, he started all over again, and this time when he saw one, he drew a line on the list, but no matter how he counted, there was one more. After repeating it several times, he gave the list to another monk and told him to count it.
But no matter who you change, you come and go, it's all the result.
The monk's face was very ugly, and the list was clearly drawn one by one, but there was always one more.
At this time, Chen Mingye took the initiative to say: "I'll count." If there is still something different this time, we will just like this, give a name, and go to the first person. "There's always going to be more than one in that. Naturally, you know who it is.
Xin Gong gave him the paper, and he counted them one by one from the front of the line to the end.
"Seventeen." β
This time, there were not many of them.
Xingong immediately took the paper and went to the right place himself.
Seventeen people are correct.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But Liu Xiaohua's mood was not easy. Instead, I became more nervous. She called the black fur back and didn't let it run around the group. Zhou Qing also motioned for Liu Xiaohua to get closer to him and not to be too far away.
Obviously, Zhou Qing has understood. Not being able to count them is not necessarily a good thing. I could see it before, but now, I can't see it anymore.
Liu Xiaohua was slightly relieved to see that Zhou Qing understood her thoughts, sometimes, as long as there is someone who thinks the same as herself, it can give people great psychological comfort. I feel that there is someone to share this matter with.
After a while, Nobugong also sensed that something was wrong.
They were right to count people. But if you can feel the temptation, there are still twenty people in the team, one more, and they have not left.
Xin Gong immediately said, "Call one person according to the list, and then move forward." β
"What's the use of doing that now?" Some people are puzzled. Isn't that one in sight now?
Credible Gong did not answer.
Liu Xiaohua understood Xingong's thoughts - now people's eyes can no longer believe it. There are also many people who are still there, but he is in the crowd, and it can be anyone. You see it, and you don't realize it. The only way to get it out of the crowd is to find a way.
Although the monks had doubts, they still silently acted according to what the public said, and the Chen family no longer objected.
As the names were read one by one, there were fewer and fewer people left on the list. In the end, when there were only two people left, there was only one name on it.
Immediately after the letter was recited, one of the two walked over to the side of the majority.
The rest of the one doesn't seem to have a reaction to what is going on. I don't know if I'm still waiting for Xingong to call me, or if I never expected to be caught. Stared at the others, incredulous.
Someone said angrily: "Finally caught!" Do any of you know him? β
None of them stood up.
This extra person seemed to be a complete stranger to them. But it's such a person, no one can find him before. It's as if his existence is a blind spot. He has always been with everyone, he has not disappeared, everyone can see him, but they have been ignoring him.
"Kill him!"
Mixing in and causing such a big mess must be ill-intentioned. If he hadn't been found out like this, who knows what he would have done.
There is nothing left for this kind of person.
The man argued, "It's not me." It's really not me. I'm Ye Wen. He said to Xingong, "Xingong, I'm Ye Wen." "He came with the monks.
Xin Gong stepped forward and looked at him carefully for a long time, "Ye Wen? β
As soon as he said it, the people present seemed to vaguely feel that this person was a little familiar. Does Ye Wen look like this?
Someone else hurriedly said, "Don't believe him, he's bewitching us!" Since Ye Wen's name is on the paper, he has already called it, hasn't the real Ye Wen already come? β
Sure enough, someone stood up, "I'm here", with a puzzled expression.
The two Yewen look completely different. Everyone stared at the 'Ye Wen' who was left on the opposite side
He was angry and anxious, and defended, "It's really me, don't you know me?" Take a good look at it!! I haven't heard my name called until now, so I'll stay at the end. If I was a sneaker, I was so stupid, would I end up being caught by you? β
As soon as he said this, everyone present nodded secretly in their hearts. As for why he didn't hear it, maybe it was a trickster who imitated him?
Since he knew that this was specifically for himself, if he was really that outsider, he would definitely not stay at the end.
But the other Ye Wen sneered, "You just think that this is not suspicious, and deliberately leave it to the end." Trying to frame me. β
He said to the others, "Don't you think it's strange? Why do I look completely different from him, but you all can't tell which one is Ye Wen? Don't any of you know what I look like? It's clear that he is doing this. β
At this time, it is difficult for anyone to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Liu Xiaohua noticed that Xingong didn't pay attention to this matter anymore, but walked to the head of the team, she hurriedly followed secretly, only to find that he was counting the number of people while people's attention was focused on that side.
Liu Xiaohua also counted silently.
found that although there were two Ye Wen arguing, the sum of all the numbers was correct.
There are sixteen people standing on this side. If one of these two people is Ye Wen, it means that one of them is fake, then there is one less.
Something is not right.
Just thinking about it, I heard a noise over there, and someone actually drew a sword.
"Since you can't tell the difference, just kill them all." There was a monk who looked very old and held a strange short sword in his hand, and his eyes were fierce.
The people of the Chen family were in an uproar, "How can you be so cruel!" β
But the other monks did not say anything to stop them.
The monks have always been the most interested in the good and avoid the bad. These people brought by Ji An are all people with advanced cultivation, and there are not 10,000 but 1,000 dangerous places that they have walked, and there is no one who has been able to live until now without mercy. Now that the spirit can't be summoned, it may not be anything to the people of the Chen family, but for these monks, it is already a big murderer.
They have been the 'immortal family' for hundreds of thousands of years, and now they have suddenly become ordinary people. It's like a king without a shell.
For the sake of their own safety, it is impossible to leave a disaster.
Liu Xiaohua secretly wondered if it was not good. But there's no way to be in a hurry, she's a dog. Zhou Qing was so distracted that he rushed up and barked twice. It was very embarrassing to come back to my senses. Dog's eyebrows tightened.
At this time, Ji An reacted. Strode over and drank.
Chen Mingye was about to speak, but Xin Gong spoke first.
He asked the two Ye Wen to be taken aside. Let the rest of the people report one and go to the front as before. But in the end, one more stood in place. He said that he himself was Sun Yi, but there was already a Sun Yi in the crowd.
There weren't many people here this time.
There are fewer people this time. With two Ye Wen and two Sun Yi. None of the remaining people could tell who was missing.
The monks couldn't hold back any longer, and one of them shouted, "Kill these four," and his muscles stretched his clothes unkempt. The weapon that came out was a pestle.
Chen Mingye was anxious and said loudly: "There is no blood on the road!" No blood! β
This monk didn't think so, and only thought that this was Chen Mingye's excuse: "The method of going to Rihe is also spread outside, why haven't you heard of the taboo of invisible blood?" You're not lying to us, are you in league with the lurking man? Want to bring us here and hurt us? β
As soon as Chen Mingye heard him say this, he couldn't care about anything else, and no longer hid it, "On the road, there are three taboos, first, no blood is visible." Second, don't stop. Third, the lights cannot be extinguished. The immortal family may think it is absurd, but our Chen family has been passed down from generation to generation, as long as you do what you say, you will definitely be able to reach the Rihe. Since our family has surrendered to the eldest prince, why should we harm you? β
One man muttered, "That's hard to say. "I clearly suspect that someone from the Chen family is coming.
"Could it be that only the people of the Chen family have been able to take the initiative to find Rihe all along, but only because you follow these rules?" Others were deeply puzzled.
Chen Mingye was afraid that he would kill someone, and he was also afraid that he and the rest of the Chen family would lose here, but he didn't want them to look down on the Chen family too much, and thought about this matter too simply, "There are others, it is inconvenient to talk to the immortal family in detail." But the most important thing is not to commit taboos. There is no lie in the next place. I am with you now, and if I harm you, we will not be able to return. It is even more impossible to betray the eldest prince! β
When the monk heard this, he looked at the priest.
Xingong groaned, and finally stood on Chen Mingye's side: "Except for the people of the Chen family, can anyone else finish this road?" Since he led the way, it was naturally he who had the final say. He asked Ji An again, "What does Steward Ji think?" β
Ji An had no objections. He didn't participate too much in various decisions along the way, how to listen to the Chen family, how to deal with the people who listened to the letter in distress, and a heart loyal to Ji Liu. Liu Xiaohua felt that it was not for nothing that he could be reused by Ji Liu for many years. At least he is not arrogant because he is Ji Liu behind him, and he doesn't make trouble because he can't get things that he can't handle.
Many people, with power in their hands and backers behind them, need to make a decision, they can't count on him to help, and it is more difficult to let him not cause chaos than to let him go to heaven.
Liu Xiaohua was really relieved to see the monk put the sword away. Zhou Qing is the same.
No one can kill here. This matter is not solved by murder.
If you kill these four, the matter is not solved, but there are two more, what should I do when the time comes, continue to kill? Seventeen become thirteen, become eleven, and finally kill?
Now everyone clearly can't figure out who they are, and they insist that a certain name is their own.
What's more, with the ancestral training of the Chen family, it is even more telling -- when she heard the ancestral training of the Chen family, Liu Xiaohua was even more sure of her judgment. It's just that she still doesn't understand a little bit. Now everyone's feelings are wrong. There may not be more than one person at all. But why do these people lose their judgment?
If the enemy sneaks in, then he has no way to use the spirit, without the spirit, no matter how high his ability is, he can't disturb people's minds, after all, all the monk's spells are based on the spirit.
In such a situation, it is impossible to poison.
Is the problem with the lamp? What's burning in the lamp?
"Tie them up." Chen Mingye said.
None of the monks paid any attention to him, but none of them objected.
Chen Mingye asked the people of the Chen family to bring ropes and tie the four people together. The four of them didn't feel like they were fake, and none of them fought for their lives. I just thought I was sacrificing for everyone. Although it is only a rope, the spirit here cannot be used, and there is no fear that one of them will be able to cast a spell to escape.
After tying up, some monks wanted to count the number of people again, but Xingong immediately stopped him and said, "The person has been caught, let's see what to do with it when we get out of here, let's not waste any more time." β
The monks' expressions were wrong, and they all wanted to speak and stopped, as if they wanted to say something more, but Xingong suddenly raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "What I said no longer works? No one shall mention the matter of a large number of people and a small number of people. Three-person groups of four, not dispersed. If you have anything, you can wait until you go out. β
I'm afraid everyone knows what the results will be if they look into it again.
In the end, the monks did not insist any longer.
When something like this happens in the team, it is inevitable that people will be panicked. Some people go fast, others go slowly, and each of them no longer talks to others, but is suspicious of anything but themselves. I am afraid that others will suddenly attack me. Gradually, the distance between the head and the end of the team widened a little. But it's much more peaceful.
Old man Ning asked once, what should I do if the lamp oil is almost gone.
Chen Mingye immediately stepped forward. At this time, the other members of the Chen family immediately went up and gathered outside, not knowing whether they didn't want others to see Chen Mingye's movements, or if they had to stand like this to make the lamp oil come out more.
Liu Xiaohua ran over and leaned her neck around Old Man Ning, and saw Chen Mingye take a crystal thing from his purse and throw it into the lamp.
Liu Xiaohua's heart trembled, and for a moment, she felt that a thought flashed, but it flashed too fast, and she couldn't catch it at all. In short, now she knows what this lamp burns, and she also knows that this kind of thing is harmless to people. But the more this is the case, the more I don't understand why people suddenly become like this without any external force?
I don't understand why burning this thing can form a protective circle.
After Chen Mingye finished adding 'lamp oil', he retreated to the back, and the lamp was really bright.
Since no one spoke anymore, the atmosphere became strangely dull and tense, except for the sound of footsteps and the rubbing of clothes and fabrics. Sometimes Liu Xiaohua walks, and even wonders if she is moving forward. Because the road under your feet is the same. There are no references around.
Just when she was going numb when she walked, she heard Old Man Ning say in a trembling voice, "What is this?" β
Liu Xiaohua wanted to go to see it, but as soon as she looked up, she was hit by something whistling and covering her face. Something went into her nose, mouth, ears. She closed her eyes and subconsciously grabbed a handful, and her right hand was to mention a furry object, not knowing whether it was a dog's paw or a dog's tail. The other hand was empty, and she wanted to find someone else, but the whole person was swept around, colliding with something, and she was dizzy.
Later, she realized that she was soaked in water.
Liu Xiaohua's first thought was that the lights went out, and she might be in those fogs that were too thick now, but it was too thick, thinking it was water. When I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything, I could only feel that I had changed back into human form.
She pulled the dog and held her breath in the water to find her way. In this water, there is no bottom in sight, and there is no top in sight. Except for the black, it was still black, there was no living thing, there was no sound, there was no light.
And she couldn't hold back that breath.
Just when she was feeling a little desperate, something suddenly pulled at her clothes.
She immediately understood that it was black skin.
Just now, Heipi was suddenly in distress, and he was so frightened that he immediately avoided the spirit platform, and now he ran out again. Seeing that Liu Xiaohua couldn't hold back any longer, she anxiously bit Liu Xiaohua's clothes and asked her to go in another direction.
Liu Xiaohua tried to see if she could summon the spirit to lift herself, and after finding that she didn't obey, she immediately followed the direction of the black skin and pushed upward. But the water was deeper than she thought, and the undercurrent was turbulent. Although Liu Xiaohua tried her best, she gradually felt overwhelmed.
Seeing that she was getting slower and slower, the black skin was in a hurry, but it was too small and its claws were inconvenient. Seeing that Liu Xiaohua was about to faint, she suddenly remembered that she was not a real dog! immediately transformed into a human form, pulling Liu Xiaohua's head and desperately going up.
It knew it needed to get its head in the air quickly. Man breathes through a hole in his head.
But when it finally took Liu Xiaohua out of the water, it found that Liu Xiaohua was no longer very conscious. He didn't breathe, as if he was still holding his breath.
It pondered for a momentβas far as its recent observations were concerned, there was one on the head of a person, called the ear, which was used to hear sounds. The two that can be closed are the eyes, which are used to see. One is the mouth used to make sounds. All that's left is two holes, which are definitely used for venting.
It immediately hugged Liu Xiaohua's head and blew on her nostrils.
Liu Xiaohua was groggy, and finally spit it out in one breath after being tossed by it.
Blackskin was very happy.
Liu Xiaohua woke up and subconsciously flapped several times, only to find that she and Ben were not in the water, but lying in the desert. When I opened my eyes, I saw the dazzling sunlight.
...... out? She let go of her hand, and Zhou Qing, who was being dragged by the tail, collapsed to the ground, although her stomach was still fluctuating, she looked like she had fainted.
Liu Xiaohua asked what was going on with Heipi, and it couldn't tell clearly. He only said, "Out of the water." β
But there is no river nearby.
Not to mention the river, even a small puddle can't have it.
The dry wind blows the fine sand on the ground, and it looks foggy from a distance. Wait for the wind to stop, except for silence and silence.
Liu Xiaohua checked it and found that Zhou Qing was just out of strength, so she was relieved. Then he took off the package and checked how much food was left. Zhou Qing may still have food and water on him, but he is now in the form of a dog and cannot be taken out and used.
She calculated for a while, then put the package back on her back and carried Zhou Qing on the road.
Now that you've come here, you have to figure out where this is, and you have to go where there are people.
Liu Xiaohua had already made psychological preparations for a long-term battle, but she didn't expect that after only a few steps, she saw a black shadow on the border between the desert and the sky in the distance.
She examined the thorns, walked in that direction, and after a little while, she saw that it was a figure. He looked like a beggar, with a lot of rags on his body and a big hair. The closer you get, the clearer you see.
The other party seems to have seen her too, and is coming towards her.
At first, he walked slowly, but after a while, he suddenly stopped, as if to look at her.
She was afraid that she would scare the other party away, so she hurriedly hid the flower thorn secretly, raised her hand and waved it coquettishly: "The little girl has been separated from her family, and now she is tired and thirsty, and she is so weak that she can't walk, if you can take me to the nearest town, I will be grateful." "Whether the other party is good or bad, coax the person over first.
The man paused for a moment, and really came this way.
However, it was a rush over.
The man ran wildly, jumping and waving his hands at her.
"Ahh Yes! "Screams. It sounds like you're shouting, but the pronunciation is very vague, and you can't understand what you're saying at all.
Waiting to see the people who came clearly, Liu Xiaohua's heart suddenly brightened. She understood what was going on along the way.
