Chapter 149: Blocking the Road
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and gusts of wind carried the dust on the ground as if they were passing in front of us, and it was an evening when a storm was coming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the dark and dreary streets, there are people hurrying backs, ignoring the two big yellow pears that have fallen to the ground, brushing off the rotten vegetable leaves hanging on the edge of the car, and the small traders hold the wooden handles on both sides tightly and push quickly towards the dilapidated alleys in the "woo-woo" wind, and stop the wheelbarrow under the wide eaves before the first drop of rain falls.
The people who went to work also hurriedly put away their things, wrapped their robes tightly, and ran out of the back door in the evening when they did not need to pay attention to their image, and collided with the same hurried people in the street, and at the same time there were two "I'm sorry!" "Excuse me!" After letting the two strangers run out of the way, they couldn't help but smile. When he saw the fluffy little head by the half-open door, he stroked the image of a strict father for the first time, and got a child's surprised smile.
After a while, when it was time for the wind and rain to agree, the wind yawned, rubbed his tired eyes, and reluctantly closed his eyelids. The rain stretched his waist, looked at the chaotic figures below refreshedly, and waved his big hand, and the raindrops of beans were scattered down as if they didn't want money, smashing on the girl's delicate cheeks, causing a forceless "It's really annoying!" Rain raised his hands and commanded without care.
The rain lasted until midnight before it gradually became lighter, and in the sound of the rain, Qi Lin had already fallen asleep, and in his dream he saw the gentle and kind mother, and he couldn't help but murmur.
At this time, a cloaked figure came from a distance and stopped above the alley, only to see him take out a jade bottle and gently sprinkle it into the air, and the rain slowly fell to the ground along with the liquid in the jade bottle. Then the man waited quietly for two breaths before slowly landing in the empty and damp courtyard, the length of the cloak was just above the ankle, and it did not touch the rain collected on the ground, but the man still frowned imperceptibly, took a deep breath, and stepped over a puddle in front of him.
When he entered the inner bedroom, he happened to hear the murmur of the child's mouth that had not yet dissipated, and the eyes that seemed very bright in the dark glanced at the prey on the bed casually, and then the fingertips gently popped out an object, perfect into Qi Lin's slightly open mouth, the sleeping child seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and the endless darkness surrounded him from all sides, he shouted and moved with all his strength, and the cloaked monk only saw the child's slightly frowning eyebrows.
Reaching out to the child's skin and probing it, nothing happened, the man breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the gloves made of deep-sea silk prepared in advance into the storage bag, wrapped the child in a black cloak in one hand, and turned around and walked out of the yard without hesitation, and soon the figure melted into the night, and there was no trace.
Taosang City has regained its original regular sound of streaming.
The next morning, the laborers opened the door and looked at the clear sky, squinting with a happy expression.
Lin Xi had already been woken up by the noisy sound, and was in a daze at this time, until he smelled a fragrant smell of buns and wanted to come back to life, jumped up from the bed, quickly put on a pale green robe with simple lines embroidered with silver thread on the cuffs, hurriedly said hello to the two people who were arranging the dishes at the table, and came to the well in the corner of the courtyard to clean himself up, and then walked into the hall with a happy expression.
There were seven or eight kinds of breakfast on the table, Lin Xi took a bowl of white porridge, and sandwiched a crab roe bun, and ate it with relish, sighing while eating, "It's delicious!" But because there was still food in her mouth, the other two didn't hear what she said, and Lin Xi didn't care if they heard it clearly, swallowed the bun, and continued his topic, and didn't care if the two were listening.
After dinner, Lin Xi was going to practice the talisman as usual, and there were two days before the finals, Lin Xi still wanted to get the first prize honeysuckle, in fact, she wanted to see if it was the same as the honeysuckle in her previous life, if she could successfully plant it herself, there would not be so many systems when she needed it in the future.
As soon as Lin Xi returned to his room, he heard the door outside being knocked "knock", Lin Xi frowned unhappily, which impolite (not long-eyed) guy came to look for bad luck in the morning?
Soon, the sound stopped, and then the door opened, Lin Xi dipped the brush in cinnabar, dropped the first stroke on the rune paper, held his breath and concentrated, the pen walked the dragon, and it was done! Lin Xi took away the finished talisman to reveal a blank talisman below.
The pen had just been hanging on the paper, and he heard a knock on the door again, it was the door of his room, Lin Xi endured his anger, "Come in!" ”
Seeing that it was Xiaolan, the displeasure on Lin Xi's face immediately dissipated, and he caught a glimpse of the aunt sitting at the table in the hall, it was the aunt hired by Lin Xi to cook for Qi Lin, and Lin Xi had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Come out, Qi Lin is gone!" Blue leaned against the door and dropped a bombshell.
Lin Xi nodded, put down the brush in his hand, casually kneaded the rune paper with a drop of cinnabar and threw it into the waste paper box on the side, and followed Xiaolan to the hall.
"Alright, don't be afraid, you can say it now!" Xiaolan calmed the aunt who was looking at the three of them in panic, and pushed a cup to her, and the aunt immediately looked at Xiaolan gratefully.
Lin Xi and Xue Yi listened to Xiaolan's words and looked at the aunt together.
"I went to cook for Qi Lin this morning, knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, the neighbor's child said that he didn't see anyone go out, and he couldn't go out early in the morning, and finally the neighbor's child went over the wall and opened the door for me. I went in to look, Qi Lin was not there, and the bed was cold, because it rained last night, and the ground was wet and there was no trace. After the aunt finished speaking, she looked at the three of them cautiously.
The three of them looked at each other when they heard this, Qi Lin's house was set up by the three of them to strictly prohibit the monks from entering, and the weak formation was broken, and the three of them would definitely notice it, and now, Qi Lin was gone, but the three of them didn't know, and then, the three of them got up at the same time, and they planned to take a look for themselves.
In the past few days, I have seen Xue Yi participate in every competition, and Xiaolan and Lin Xi have never been out of the city, although there are still people watching around, but there are not as many as before. At this time, the matter was urgent, and the three of them didn't care if they would be discovered, so they sent their aunt away, and used their body skills to rush to the small alley where Qi Lin lived.
The aunt didn't close the door when she left, and at this moment a few children were sitting in a row on the stone steps at the door, and when they saw Lin Xi jumping up happily, they scrambled to say, "Qi Lin is gone!" ”
"The aunt who cooked for him read it and went out!"
……
Lin Xi hurriedly took out a handful of candy and distributed it to them, and then asked them to hurry home.
The formation around the courtyard was not destroyed, and after Xiao Lan looked at it, he recognized that the viscous liquid on it was a kind of spirit grass with a strong anesthetic effect-anesthetic madness, but this anesthetic madness could make the formation fall into a dormant state, so this person forcibly entered without triggering the alarm on the formation.
After a night of rain, the courtyard was wet, and there was no breath of immortal cultivators left in the air, and after entering the room, I saw a shallow footprint on the ground, but unfortunately it was useless for a few people. The bed and room were neat and orderly, and Qi Lin was taken away without any struggle.
This confirmed the guess of the three of them, it should have been done by the man in black in the cloak who came that night.
This person didn't leave any breath here, and it was impossible to find it with this, and now, Lin Xi could only secretly hope that Qi Lin could hold on and think of the ring in his hand, so that the three of them could find him quickly.
If that person wants to change an ordinary shadow into an ordinary monk that can rival an ordinary monk, the movement must be small, and in order not to be detected by the Lei Yan Sect and the major sects, he must be doing experiments in Nanma Mountain outside the city, the three of them closed the gate, and as soon as they got out of the alley, they raised their swords, and before they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped.
Looking at the Lei Yan Sect disciples in front of them and the city gate that had just closed behind them, Xiao Lan sneered and asked, "Why don't you let us out of the city?" The crowd of onlookers looked at them in confusion, especially the small vendors who had already sold their wares, and were still in a hurry to go home for lunch.
Several people glanced at each other, and one of the highest cultivators stood up and said softly, "Don't pretend to be confused, you can't get out of the city gate!" Then the man said in a normal voice, "Recently, a giant demon beast has appeared outside the city, and dozens of monks have died in its hands, for everyone's safety, from now on, the city gate will be temporarily closed!" ”
As soon as his words fell, the crowd immediately began to discuss dissatisfiedly, under normal circumstances, the city gate will be closed in advance, never as casual as now, this time things always feel wrong. But they didn't have the idea of competing with the disciples of the Lei Yan Sect, so they said a few words of dissatisfaction, and then stepped aside to watch the duel between the immortal cultivators and the immortal cultivators.
Even ordinary people felt that there was a problem, not to mention the other immortal cultivators who were going out of the city, they were not ordinary people, and they had to believe it when they heard these people say a few words casually.
Lin Xi saw the angry monks, his eyes rolled, and he said loudly, "You lie, I didn't see the giant demon beast you said when I went out of the city yesterday, and there must be Taoist friends present who have gone out of the city in the past few days, have you seen the giant demon beast he said?" ”
There were really a lot of monks in the crowd who had been out of the city in the past few days, and they didn't even look at those monks, and said loudly, "I haven't even seen a single demon beast hair!" ”
Lin Xi looked at the disciples again and said, "Why are you lying to prevent us from leaving the city?" It can't be that you see that the Kangbo Conference is almost over, and you want to deliberately trap the various sects here, right? Then ...... "Lin Xi deliberately didn't finish speaking, leaving unlimited imagination space for fellow Daoists, and then shouted again" said! What the hell are you up to? ”
Listening to Lin Xi's words, the immortal cultivators also looked at those disciples with strange expressions, their eyes showed unkindness, and they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts: Could it be that Lei Yanzong really has some conspiracy?
Looking at everyone's skeptical gazes, Lin Xi smiled secretly.
The disciple who spoke before glared at Lin Xi fiercely, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, please forgive me, Lei Yanzong has always behaved rightly on the mainland, and standing at the end of the line is not something that this Daoist friend can do by casually provoking two sentences." At this point, I ask all Daoists to believe that once the giant demon beast is removed, Lei Yanzong will immediately open the city gate, and I also ask you to be patient for a few days. ”
The effect of this was good, and most people nodded their heads although they were still a little dissatisfied when they heard it.
Of course, Lin Xi couldn't let him succeed, "Since there are really giant demon beasts, and they have harmed so many immortal cultivators, how can it be good to work Lei Yanzong to pay so many disciples to clean it up, it is better for everyone to go out together, there are many people and great strength, maybe it won't take a few days, and the giant demon beast can be eliminated today." ”
So hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at the disciple in unison, this person hung his head and didn't dare to look at everyone, at this time a middle-aged man came from a distance, followed by two disciples, the monk in front of the door looked at him with glowing eyes, Lin Xi looked at Xiaolan for some reason, only to know that this person was Lei Yanzong's famous "benevolent" layman Pingxin Zhenren.
Lin Xicai doesn't care how famous this person is, she just wants to get out of the city now!
The man raised his hand and waved, and the crowd immediately quieted down, and he pointed at Lin Xi and said, "This fellow Daoist is right, there are many people and great power, everyone can get rid of the demon beasts as soon as possible, and our Lei Yanzong can't delay everyone's time because of our own ideas." ”
Hearing his words, the immortal cultivators nodded convincingly.
And the disciple who spoke before looked anxiously at this Pingxin Zhenren, Pingxin Zhenren didn't even look at him, nodded to the two disciples who followed, and didn't see how the two moved, the door was slowly opened, Pingxin Zhenren took the lead, and took those disciples to take a step forward, and then Lin Xi and the three of them also followed the monks out of the city.
Lin Xi guessed that since this person said so, he would definitely put a giant demon beast on the road in advance, and sure enough, he heard the roar and the sound of weapons coming from in front of him, and the three of them glanced at each other, unconsciously slowed down their pace, and gradually fell behind the back of the crowd.
Taking advantage of the attention of the crowd on the demon beast, the stalking disciples also happened to turn their heads, Lin Xi quietly took out the invisibility cloak and covered the three of them, and then quietly turned around and went straight to Nanma Mountain. And the few disciples who had been staring at Lin Xi and the three of them lost the three of them in a wrong eye, and they couldn't help but be a little frightened, leaving one disciple to report the news, and the rest divided into several ways to find it.
When he couldn't see the crowd, Lin Xi put away the invisibility cloak in a hidden place.
When the three of them landed at the foot of Nanma Mountain, they saw Xiaolan suddenly stop, and then stretched out her left hand, Lin Xi saw that the bulge of rice grains on the iron ring on her finger was shining red.
The three of them couldn't help but smile, Xiaolan took the lead in front, and Lin Xi and Xue Yi followed closely behind her.
Soon, Xiaolan followed the induction between the two all the way to the southwest of Nanma Mountain, and then to the southwest, which seemed to have become the source of all bad things, Lin Xi couldn't help but think.
But the place I went to this time is very familiar.
