Chapter 221: Night Preparations
The night in Yunze City was even more cold, the cool night breeze carried a little fallen leaves, and the shopkeeper held a pole and hung the lantern at the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When you go back to the store, you can see that the lights are lit up around the street, and the number of pedestrians is decreasing, making it feel like you have entered a ghost town.
Sha Li and Lou Qingxiao came down from the private room on the third floor and were standing at the door of the restaurant.
"Carrot strips, I think it's scarier than any city I've been to before." Sha Li crossed his arms and looked out, but he couldn't see a living person at a glance.
Lou Qingxiao said with emotion: "The last time I came here, it was much more lively at night than during the day, and many people took their children out to visit the market. ”
"It's better to solve the matter of the formation as soon as possible, everyone doesn't dare to come out, I still want to see the great rivers and mountains of this Huang Dynasty." Shali hugged her arms and tapped her fingertips on her arms.
"I think you want to realize your idea of a bandit who is king of the mountains as soon as possible." Lou Qingxiao said with a smile.
"Where are the bandits, we are also protecting the safety of one party, think about it, there are fairy fairies, fairy sisters, Zhige, dragon beauty, there may be other friends in the future, how lively, who dares to disturb the purity of this area." Shali bumped into Lou Qingxiao beside him.
Lou Qingxiao unfolded his fan and said, "I haven't agreed yet." ”
"It doesn't matter if you agree or not, Sister Fairy agrees, I don't believe you won't come."
"......" Lou Qingxiao really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Let's go, I've been on the road for two days, so I can rest for a while today, and I'll definitely have to go to Maifudo tomorrow to negotiate." Shali patted Lou Qingxiao and sighed.
Lou Qingxiao followed Sha Li and turned around and walked towards the guest room in the backyard. "It's all hard work."
The two walked side by side in the corridor, in the backyard in a zigzag, in the middle of the open space a lush ancient tree growing straight, the surrounding ground is paved with cyan bricks, and there are several stone tables and stone benches under the trees for guests to rest.
The two of them walked up the wooden staircase, and the creaking sound of the old wooden planks under their feet could not be stopped even if they slowed down.
Walking up to the third floor, the two of them were about to go back to the house to rest, passing by Luo Yuyan's house, Luo Yuyan and Jieyuan were walking out.
"You go and inform the other disciples for me first, and immediately gather under the tree in the courtyard, and there is a task for everyone." Luo Yuyan stood in front of the two and said.
Hearing that there was a task, Sha Li and Lou Qingxiao were shocked, and they went to inform the male and female disciples.
The disciples of the two major sects came to the big tree one after another, Luo Yuyan and Jieyuan sat on the stone bench under the tree, and the surrounding disciples stood aside casually, waiting for the other companions to gather.
The shop in the front hall is ready to close, the business has been bad lately, no one will come to dine at all, and there is a group of gods of wealth living in the backyard, which closes early and is clean early.
He quickly laid out the bench on the table, wiped the counter, blew out the candles in the hall, and left one candlestick in his hand. After packing everything up, he walked to the room where the people in the backyard were resting. The shopkeeper doesn't live here, and the other shopkeepers are not in the store for the time being because of their cold business, and he is the only one living in the room of a row of people.
He rubbed his eyes, dragged the candlestick to the corridor, just walked to the backyard and saw a group of people standing under the big tree, he rubbed his eyes again, and found that it was a group of people, there were indeed people coming today, but there were not so many people, and suddenly his hands shook in fright, and the candlestick fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and the candle was immediately extinguished.
The disciples of the two sects looked at the shopkeeper at the same time, and the coercion of the cultivator subconsciously spread out, and the shopkeeper's legs weakened. Jieyuan stretched out his hand and rushed at the shopkeeper, and a burst of true qi sucked over, and the shopkeeper was held down and let the true qi drag him over.
The shopkeeper crawled in front of everyone, quickly knelt and kowtowed, and said with a cry: "Don't kill me!" I'm just a shopkeeper! I don't know anything! Didn't see anything! ”
Everyone looked at each other, it seemed that he was frightened by Jieyuan, and Jieyuan was also very helpless, he didn't want to do anything. Luo Yuyan first held him up with his true qi, but the shopkeeper was even more afraid, and Luo Yuyan kowtowed to him over there.
Luo Yuyan said with a low smile: "It seems that I still can't hide it, if I don't tell the truth, I'm afraid that tomorrow it may not be how to spread it to us." ”
Jie Yuan coughed and said to the shopkeeper on the ground: "Okay, don't knock, we are real people from Shanmen and Guixu Island, and we don't want your life." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, he raised his head suddenly, he knocked too hard, and his head knocked out of the bag, he opened his mouth and asked, "You guys...... Is it a real person? Mountain Gate's? Return to the island? ”
"Knowing that this Yunze City has not been peaceful recently, we plan to come over and investigate. It's just that I don't want to cause speculation from the outside world, so I'm ready to hide my identity. Luo Yuyan waved his sleeves, and the body of the mountain gate was running, and the disciples of the three sects and the disciples of Guixu Island also showed traces of the exercises, and the blue and golden true qi loomed.
"What a fairy!" The shopkeeper was not afraid this time, and said with a smile, "I wanted to go back to the house just now, and I didn't want to disturb the immortals......"
"Alright, it's okay, go back to sleep." Lou Qingxiao said to the shopkeeper.
Luo Yuyan stretched out his hand and gestured, wait, the second shopkeeper was from Yunze City, and he was more familiar with the things in Yunze City than them, he asked, "Do you know what happened recently?" Why are families closed? ”
The shopkeeper stood up and said with a sad face: "Immortals, hurry up and save our Yunze City!" Yunze City is going to be closed in the past few days, and there is no one in the city after such an earthquake. ”
"Is this Yunze City because of an earthquake? Is there anything else? Shali asked.
The shopkeeper said: "I've heard others say that the fairies of the Dance Wind Hall left a lot of people a while ago, and I don't know what they are doing. ”
Luo Yuyan nodded and said, "Okay, it's probably about the same as what we know." If you see your friends tomorrow, you can tell them not to worry, the cultivators will be responsible for the affairs of the cultivator world. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed to everyone and thanked them a thousand times: "I'll tell them tomorrow!" Immortals, no, the nobles live here with peace of mind, and the small ones will not be disturbed by outsiders! ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he ran away, went to the cloister to pick up the candlestick that had fallen on the ground, and ran back to the room as quickly as possible.
"Now I'll assign a task, and without further ado, I'll be ready tonight." After Luo Yuyan saw that the shopkeeper had left, he laid down a soundproof barrier and said to everyone in the barrier, "Venerable Jieyuan is responsible for taking the disciples of Guixu Island to lay an enchantment around Yunze City, especially the side facing Wufeng Hall, just in case. ”
The disciples of Guixu Island obeyed Luo Yuyan and Jieyuan according to the order.
Luo Yuyan said to the disciples of the Mountain Gate again: "The disciples of this sect are led by Qin Mianzhong, assisting the disciples of Guixu Island to set up the formation and survey the surrounding situation. Yun Mu came with me, and first went to the area around the dance hall to see the situation. Shali and Qingxiao will stay here. ”
The other disciples agreed, Sha Li and Lou Qingxiao were stunned, and when the two of them heard that they were going to abandon the two of them. Lou Qingxiao knocked on the fan and said, "No, you can't leave the two of us here." ”
Sha Li stood next to Lou Qingxiao, nodded and said: "Tonight is an investigation, and there will be no conflict, multiple people can also have multiple helpers, it is too inauthentic to throw the two of us here like this." ”
Jie Yuan snickered on the side, and said to Luo Yuyan: "Okay, you can take them with you, if you don't bring them, they won't be able to let you leave here tonight." ”
"I can do a little bit of my part." Lou Qingxiao said with a smile.
Luo Yuyan also had no choice, so he had to say, "Then you two come with me." ”
Sha Li and Lou Qingxiao squeezed their eyebrows, Lou Qingxiao was secretly happy in his heart, looked at Yun Mu, Yun Mu's eyes swept over the two, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Luo Yu retreated the enchantment, and Jieyuan bowed his hand to Luo Yuyan, leaving with the disciples of Guixu Island and the Mountain Gate.
Luo Yuyan led the three of them to the door of Fuyun Tower, Sha Li just wanted to push the door open, Luo Yuyan held down Sha Li and asked her to open it all first.
"Restrain your true qi." Luo Yuyan reminded everyone that he gently pushed the door open a gap, which was enough for the four of them to see the situation outside.
"Someone ......" Yun Mu also sensed that his cultivation was not very profound, but he did not hide his aura, "That is, the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building." ”
Luo Yuyan said: "Let's take a look first." ”
Luo Yuyan was not at ease, and added layers of formation to the three of them before it was over. The four of them stood in front of the gate, the gate was hidden, just in front of them, just to see the street in front of them, only the lantern hanging by the shopkeeper at the door exuded a faint light, illuminating the bluestone slab floor with a ghostly light.
The true qi was from far and near, Sha Li felt it clearly, and wanted to say something, but seeing that everyone was staring at the door intently, she also opened her eyes and looked outside.
A figure quickly ran past the door, at first glance it was an ordinary nocturnal beast, Sha Li thought for a while, sure enough, the normal nocturnal beast was not as big as the alienation, and it didn't feel irritable, but there seemed to be a person on the nocturnal beast.
"Shang Rou?" Lou Qingxiao was stunned and said, "I'm not mistaken, right? ”
"It really is her." Yun Mu said with certainty.
Sha Li looked at the two of them with a shocked expression: "Shang Rou, she actually rode a demon beast in Yunze City?!" She's crazy, isn't she?! What if there are passers-by? ”
"Isn't she gone?" Lou Qingxiao looked at Luo Yuyan and said, "Senior Brother Zhang said that he watched them leave. ”
Luo Yuyan took a step, and the three of them walked out of the restaurant behind him, Luo Yuyan looked at the direction Shang Rou left and said, "She should be going back to Wufeng Hall, follow and have a look." ”
The four of them sacrificed the fairy sword, and Luo Yuyan shrouded everyone in a layer of invisible enchantment, and always maintained some distance from Shang Rou in front, with the enchantment set by Luo Yuyan, so he didn't worry that Shang Rou would find them.
Sha Li said, "Should you stop her first?" If she does enter the dance hall, we won't be able to ask her about it. ”
Sha Li looked at Luo Yuyan, Luo Yuyan turned around and found that Lou Qingxiao and Yun Mu were also looking at her, and she immediately cried out in her heart. (To be continued.) )
