Chapter Fifty-Eight: Under the Pool
In the afternoon, a dark cloud covered the western mountain. Tang Ying looked at this strange scene, and rushed to the Xishan courtyard faster.
The courtyard gate was hidden, and there was no sign of a fight in the house. The peachwood sword and charms, as well as the books that Li Chunfeng often reads, are all in the right place. There are no suspicious clues, just that others are missing.
Tang Ying ran out, showed the token, and summoned the spies who were in charge of guarding Li Chunfeng. The two elite soldiers also felt very strange when they saw that the courtyard was empty. Tang Ying asked who had come, and they swore that only Tang Ying had come in the morning. When asked about Ming Chongyan, the two guards shook their heads affirmatively, and said that no one entered or left the courtyard.
However, there was no doubt that Li Chunfeng disappeared, and one of the guards actually began to search for whether there was a tunnel. Another man pressed the horn of his forehead and said hesitantly: "Although I didn't see a human figure, I seemed to hear a flute." ”
Flute?!
Li Chunfeng definitely won't be able to play the flute in this situation, is it really Ming Chongyan? She never wanted to believe that Ming Chongyan was a black-robed person. But after Li Chunfeng took the risk to tell him, she also realized many suspicions, such as Ming Chongyan being too easy when Taishan helped him repel the black-robed man; For example, the chaotic sound of the flute; For example, why did he become Wu Mei's henchman for a year; For example, he often pesters himself for something......
Tang Ying tightened his collar and instructed the two spies to continue to monitor the small courtyard. I was going to go back to Penglai Palace to find out Ming Chongyan's whereabouts first, and then ask Xiao Meng to find clues about Li Chunfeng.
At this time, the West Mountain is already like the color of ink. The wind was blowing louder and stronger, and the trees of the entire forest were shaking their torsos as if they were alive. They had been walking in the mountains for nearly 3 hours. He suspected that Li Chunfeng deliberately made a detour to delay time, but because he didn't know where the destination of the road was, he could only follow patiently.
Fortunately, he soon saw an open clearing deep in the dense forest. The sun doesn't get in here, so the large white snow shows no signs of birds and beasts, and the waterfall and the almost black pool are more eye-catching.
"Here we are." Li Chunfeng let out a long breath, and the white breath drifted away with the cold wind.
Ming Chongyan let go of his arm and took two steps towards the pool, clearly feeling a pinprick-like pain.
Li Chunfeng glanced at him, "Do you believe it now?" Ming Chongyan nodded, his glasses swept around the pool, "Where did you hide your things?" ”
Li Chunfeng raised his finger and pointed at the pool water, "It's sinking under the pool water." Ming Chongyan looked around vigilantly, "What kind of place is this?" ”
"The place where the god Bai Ze once stayed." Li Chunfeng said with infinite emotion. This is the place where Tang Ying took her to cool down when he accidentally ate Bai Huo, and it is also the place where Bai Ze entrusted Bai Zetu to him. Bai Ze's original intention was to take him as an apprentice and cultivate into a long life. It's a pity that he didn't tell himself that one day Ming Chongyan would come to the door, otherwise he would really prepare early.
He shook his head and thought: Maybe Bai Zeshen always had a glimmer of hope for Ming Chongyan, thinking that he could abandon his obsession and would not find it......
Ming Chongyan pushed him on the shoulder, "You go and fish it up for me." ”
Li Chunfeng shrugged, "With my old bones, I won't be able to go up." Ming Chongyan sneered, "I see, you must have set up a magic circle below to wait for me." It's a pity that you've forgotten that your body is actually under my control. ”
As he spoke, he took out two silver needles and pierced Li Chunfeng's wrists respectively, calling the possessed evil spirit to come out and manipulate Li Chunfeng's body.
The evil spirit looked at the bottomless water, hugged his shoulders and did not dare to step forward, "Lord, master." The water here has a strange amount of force...... The little ones don't dare ......."
Ming Chongyan kicked his ass, "If you are told to go, you will go, otherwise I will make you lose your soul now!" ”
"Li Chunfeng" was so frightened that his nose flowed, and he moved towards the pool step by step. "Wait." Ming Chongyan took out a bundle of rope from his backpack, he had been collecting medicine outside all year round, and these things were always prepared. Tie the rope firmly around his waist and beckon him to continue.
The evil spirit slowly moved to the edge of the pool, and then stretched out its foot and stepped into the water, and howled like a pig like boiling oil.
Ming Chongyan saw that the evil spirit turned into a blue-gray mist shadow, and was dragged out of Li Chunfeng's body. He was shocked and was about to pull it back with a force in his hand. The gray shadow had turned into a wisp of green smoke and was blown away by the wind.
Li Chunfeng fell to the edge of the pool, panting and laughing at him: "What, your puppet technique doesn't work?" Ming Chongyan's face suddenly became ugly and distorted, but he soon regained his composure, walked over, and stripped Li Chunfeng's clothes off, leaving a single layer of clothing.
Li Chunfeng's lips quickly turned purple. Ming Chongyan condescendingly said to him, "I will throw you into the water." If you don't bring me Bai Zetu, you will obediently wait for death. ”
Li Chunfeng said fiercely: "Do you think you can take it away?" Ming Chongyan took out the yin-yang mirror from his arms and looked at the lake. Something strange happened, and the white soft light on the water surface seemed to be pulled out by something and faded little by little.
"Did you see that?" Ming Chongyan patted Li Chunfeng's face, "If you don't want to die now, just take it obediently." Otherwise, when I do it myself, you're dead. ”
This kind of spell will definitely consume a lot of Ming Chongyan's mana. But it also proved that he was no longer essential, and he had no bargaining chips at all.
He finally struggled to get up, gritted his teeth and said, "Since I can't stop you anymore, I'd better go down." But don't forget, let me go! ”
Ming Chongyan put away the mirror and let out a long breath, "That's nature." ”
Li Chunfeng rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the rope around his waist, "If I get it, I will hold Bai Zetu in my arms, pull the rope three more times, and then you remember to pull me up quickly." I'm old after all. ”
"It's a deal." Ming Chongyan made a gesture of please.
Li Chunfeng moved his body, held his breath, and stabbed down.
The water in the pool was very dark, which made Ming Chongyan mistakenly think that the water here was very deep, and he once suspected that the rope was not long enough. As a result, the length of ten zhang was released, and the rope was not lowered. He was so excited that he kept poking his head out to look under the water. When it was almost estimated that one breath was about to be exhausted, the rope was pulled three times.
It's their code, and it's in hand. There was a rush of ecstasy in his heart, but his hand did not tighten the rope. Then the rope was pulled three more times, and then it shook weakly again, and at the same time a large string of bubbles came back from the water. He stared coldly at the pond, estimating that Li Chunfeng had drowned.
The rope gradually stopped shaking. He guessed that Li Chunfeng might have completely lost consciousness, so he simply shrugged his shoulders and waited for a while.
"Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng. You are known as a generation of immortals, but you didn't expect this way to die, right? He finally stood up and pulled the rope inch by inch, he didn't expect Li Chunfeng to be lighter than he imagined.
Wrong. It should be heavier when you die. He suddenly pulled the rope faster with the force of his hand, and as a result, a black shadow was suddenly dragged to the shore.
He fixed his eyes and saw that this was Li Chunfeng, it was clearly a lump of stones wrapped in his clothes!
