Chapter 229: There is a dragon ahead
Sanjing was woken up in the middle of the night, no one would not be angry to get up, Lin Xi yawned, held the talisman made on the table two days ago in his arms, and followed the little blue deer into the next room quietly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Xi placed the talisman on the table, yawning and rubbing his eyes as he asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Remember the gentle slope on the outskirts of the South Gate?" Xue Yi had already sorted out his things, walked over and took off Lin Xi's storage bag, glanced at it, and stuffed a few bottles of healing medicine, hemostatic pills or something into it, "It turns out that there is a wooden house there, and the people who live in the wooden house, in fact, to be precise, the people who are locked in the wooden house should have run away." As soon as he got the news, Murong Shui ordered Murong Xue to rush over and arrest the people back as soon as possible. We also take the opportunity to sneak in, and maybe we can discover the secret of Murong Shui! ”
Lin Xi nodded, her drowsiness did not go away, she was most interested in exploring other people's secrets or something.
Xiaolan divided the talisman into several parts, the most one was handed to Xiao Yu'er, and she took out a dozen or so from the rest of the two that she and Xue Yi divided equally, and the remaining pile was Lin Xi and Ji Nan's.
"Are you all ready? Okay, let's go! After Ji Nan finished speaking, he looked around and fell on Xiaolu, "Xiaolu, just watch the door, don't go this time!" ”
When the deer heard this, there was disappointment in his eyes, and the people who watched it couldn't bear it.
"Xiaolu, your cultivation is too low, we may not be able to protect you when the time comes! When your cultivation is raised, we will definitely take you there! Not this time, we'll be back soon, you can practice with peace of mind! Lin Xi thought about it, walked over to the fawn and rubbed its head and said.
Hearing this, Xiaolu nodded his head and agreed, and obediently walked to the table and lay down to cultivate.
"Little fish go first!" Ji Nan gestured.
Lin Xi then jumped out of the window with the little fish, and there was no hard ground as he imagined, but the soft feathers of the little fish. Soon, the others jumped down, and the little fish flew south with flashing wings.
The fawn in the window looked at the white figure with blank eyes, and only turned around and closed the curtains when it was dark.
Half an hour later, the little fish stopped at the base of the city wall on the opposite side of the gentle slope.
"Murong Xue had already gone in half an hour ago, so let's be fast, we must find the people in the wooden house before Murong Xue!" Ji Nan jumped down from Xiao Yu'er and said, "After entering, it is divided into four groups and four directions, I, Xiaolan, Lin Xi, and Xiao Yu'er are in the four directions of southeast, south, northwest, and northwest, Xue Yi went to find Bu Yun and followed Murong Xue, if the people in the wooden house were found by them first, you and Bu Yun tried to see who that person was!" ”
"Alright, put these robes on your body, let's go inside!" Ji Nan took out a few sets of robes from the storage bag and handed them to a few people, Lin Xi took one, and the biggest difference from ordinary robes was that the corners of the clothes were embroidered with the words City Lord's Mansion.
The five of them wore Taoist robes with the logo of the City Lord's Mansion and swaggered towards the gentle slope, and after walking for a short while, they saw a few guards coming from the side, and one of the small leader-like people stopped the five people and looked up and down rudely and asked, "Who are you following originally, why haven't I seen you before?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Nan, who was walking in the front, waved his hand back, signaled a few people to hand it over to him, and saw him step forward and said arrogantly, "Who are you following originally?" I haven't seen you either, you are really from the City Lord's Mansion, you can't be a spy, right? ”
Xiao Yu'er heard Ji Nan say this, pulled Lin Xi's sleeve and asked, "Didn't he anger that person?" If we make a fuss, won't we be discovered? ”
Lin Xi glanced at the few guards opposite, "Didn't you notice that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were all above the top?" If Ji Nan speaks in a good voice to arouse suspicion! ”
When Xiao Yu'er heard this, she found that this was really the case, so she also put on a posture that I am the boss and I am the best and looked at the guard opposite.
The little boss on the other side was a quick temper, Ji Nan's words immediately made him lose his temper, and he stepped forward and stepped back from Ji Nan, "Who are you talking about, who is the spy?" Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up? ”
Ji Nan changed his previous arrogance and rudeness, but instead shrank and took a step back, "I don't want to waste time here with you just now, the eldest prince can say, I want to find someone as soon as possible!" ”
Xiao Yu'er secretly glanced at another group of people coming from the side, and said secretly, it's really lively!
Ji Nan's sudden retreat made the little boss touch a soft persimmon, and with a hideous face, he stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Nan's neck, "You-"
"Stop! It's for you to come to find someone, not for you to fight, be careful to let the eldest prince know that he can't eat and go around! Don't be stunned, why don't you look for it again! "A monk who looked to be a little bigger than the little boss came over and played two hundred boards each.
Hearing this, the little leader and Ji Nan glared at each other unconvinced, and finally led their respective subordinates in different directions under the eyes of the later monks.
Lin Xi and the four of them followed behind Ji Nan obediently, and after a while, there was no figure in the vicinity.
"Alright, let's separate here! This is a jade pendant that can be connected with each other, if anyone finds that person first, crush the jade pendant, and we will know where you are. If so, they can't find it, and they will leave after being in the car of the City Lord's Mansion and return to the VIP building on their own! Ji Nan took out five identical jade pendants and handed them to the four of them, and the remaining one hung on his waist.
Lin Xi put down the jade pendant and looked up to see Xiao Yu'er scratching his ears and cheeks in a circle, so he asked, "Xiao Yu'er, what do you want to say?" ”
Xiao Yu'er scratched her head, "Ji Nan said that he was looking for someone from the wooden house, but we don't know what the people in the wooden house look like, in case he also changed into the robes of the City Lord's Mansion like us, who knows which one is?" ”
Lin Xi nodded, Xiao Yu'er didn't say that she didn't think of this question at all, "That's right, Ji Nan, how are we going to tell which one is in the wooden house at that time?" ”
Ji Nan touched his nose, how did he forget this question, "Well, it is speculated that the people in that wooden house have been locked up for a long time, so they should look different from normal people, you will know when you see them!" ”
"You're too irresponsible, aren't you?" Xiao Yu'er said obliquely at Ji Nan.
"What Ji Nan said makes sense, the difference between people who have been locked up in a room for a long time and normal people is quite big, at least the face is very white! Well, let's go first! ”
Lin Xi took two steps forward with Xiao Yu'er, "You also observe more, you don't listen to things outside the window all day long, and you will suffer a big loss if you only care about cultivation!" ”
Xiao Yu'er said unconvinced, "Didn't you know it after listening!" Let's two pounds and eight taels! ”
Lin Xi glared at him, "I don't have all the information, understand?" The information is incomplete, who knows that unlucky guy has been locked up for a long time! ”
"I won't tell you, you're from the west, I'm from the north, I'll go first!"
Seeing that the little fish ran away as soon as he slipped away, Lin Xi shook his head and also walked to the west.
To the west, there was a shrub nearly one person high, I don't know if it was a gentle slope, the temperature here was higher than outside, and the new leaves on the bushes were mixed with the old leaves of last year, not like the row of trees in front of the root of the city wall, which still hung yellow leaves.
Lin Xi stood in the bushes and looked to the left and right, he couldn't see the end at a glance, he could only hear the sound of the blades rattling when the wind was blowing, and he could clearly hear the sound of running water when there was no wind.
Lin Xi leaned forward slightly, and through the gap between the new leaves and the old leaves, there was a stream behind the bushes, and there was no one nearby.
Lin Xi frowned and glanced at the bushes, pulled out the Fire Phoenix Wood Sword from his wrist and cut off the straight branches of the bushes a few times, and crossed over.
Behind the bushes is a wide, bottomless stream, shallow enough to be more than a foot long, and there are no fish in the water, not even a plankton, a shrimp!
Lin Xi crossed the stream in a few steps and stood on a path that could be walked by one person, and on the other side of the road was a row of tall ginkgo trees. Under the tree and on the road, a thick layer of fan-shaped fallen leaves was spread, and as soon as you stepped on it, you would sink into it half an inch deep.
And next to Lin Xi's footprints, there was a row of footprints, deeper and larger than hers, no doubt a man's footprint.
Lin Xi unexpectedly remembered what Chen Buyun said, the traces left by Murong Xue disappeared when they reached the bushes, and he sensed the traces of aura there.
There is also a small leaf next to this footprint, which must have been a few days ago.
Lin Xi looked back at the bushes next to the creek, the bushes here and the bushes there, hehe, it's so simple!
Lin Xi stood up and looked at the footprints, to the east, it should be the location of the wooden house!
In the middle of the sound, Lin Xi retracted his gaze and went to the ginkgo forest. Her task is to search the west, and Ji Nan has her own Ji Nan to check.
The ginkgo forest is not full of ginkgo trees, but also mixed with some acacia and metasequoia, the forest is very quiet, Lin Xi walked for a while and did not meet a guard from the city lord's mansion, of course, he did not see anyone in the wooden house.
Lin Xi stopped when he walked to the most dense group of trees, which should be the center of the forest. Lin Xi turned around and looked at the forest and silently estimated, from entering the forest to stopping, it took about a hundred breaths, according to Lin Xi's foot speed, one breath and two feet, the other half of this forest is also two hundred feet and twenty zhang, Lin Xi's divine sense can see ten zhang at the farthest, in this case, you have to go ten zhang forward to check the entire forest.
Lin Xi closed his eyes, released his divine sense, and walked forward to check the surrounding situation, at this moment, a hurried figure suddenly came into view, and the person who came was wearing the uniform guard costume of the City Lord's Mansion.
That person's cultivation had just reached the middle stage of foundation building, and he was on par with Lin Xi, so Lin Xi simply greeted him, but who knew that the person bumped into Lin Xi as if he didn't see it, and Lin Xi hurriedly dodged away.
"Who are you? Why are you in such a hurry? Lin Xi didn't wait for the person on the other side to exclaim in surprise, and then preemptively shouted.
The man had a thin layer of sweat on his head because of running, and his cheeks were also red, he stopped and hunched his body and gasped for two breaths before he straightened up and looked at Lin Xi, "Who are you, why don't I remember that there are women in the guards?" Well, I'm in a hurry, so I'll go first......"
"You don't care who I am! Tell us who you are first, isn't everyone assigned a scope for inspection? How did you get here? Or are you-"
"What did you break the eldest prince? Say it! Otherwise, I'm going to escort you to the chief!" Lin Xi silently blocked his way and threatened.
When the man heard that the eldest prince was involved, he was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" I didn't break anything! Also, the boss obviously assigned me the inspection of this forest, why did you come here too? ”
"Humph! It's good that it didn't break. As for why I'm here, of course, I saw that you haven't come out for a long time, and I've been sent here by the boss to check it out! Also, what the hell is going on with you, is there a monster chasing after you? Lin Xi said tentatively quietly.
When the man heard this, he said with a bitter face, "Oh, it's much more terrifying than a demon beast, I won't tell you, I'll go first!" ”
After the man finished speaking, he pulled his legs and walked in the direction of the forest, Lin Xi's eyes rolled and he turned in front of him, "What are you doing in a hurry?" ”
The man was really anxious, he didn't want to entangle with Lin Xi, he stretched out his hand to push, Lin Xi secretly used internal force, the man looked at Lin Xi in surprise, he didn't push, and glanced at her robe, which was indeed inferior.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go out, I haven't finished checking yet, you and I will check again. Or are you already in front of you, right? In such a hurry, do you want to behave at Childe? Lin Xi looked the man up and down, but he didn't give way.
"Get out of the way! How can there be such a good thing, and if you still want to die, don't go forward! The man reached out to push Lin Xi, but of course he couldn't push it, so he had to say.
Lin Xi snorted coldly, "Tell me clearly, what's going on in front?" Otherwise, you'll come with me on another trip! ”
The man was anxious, "What I said is true!" I can't go there! ”
As I said that, when I raised my head and saw Lin Xi's face, I knew that it was such an expression, and I was busy correcting again, "It's really not what you think, it's really not the person Gongzi asked me to find!" ”
"Well, trust you for now! But you have to tell me, what is it? Lin Xi stood to the side and squinted at him, and had the posture of accompanying me if he didn't speak honestly.
The man had to make a long story short and tell Lin Xi about the situation he had encountered before, "This ginkgo forest is actually not big, and there is no road if you walk ten zhang further, but a small mountain that extends down the Vermilion Bird Mountain Range." The exit of the ginkgo grove is directly opposite a large cave where a fire-breathing black dragon lives with a chain around its neck...... The black dragon was very ferocious, and there were many skeletons next to it...... I didn't dare to approach it anymore, but I was still almost burned by the fire, although I had already eaten a low-grade antidote pill, but it didn't seem to be of much use. ”
After that, the man unconsciously asked, "By the way, do you still have a detoxification pill here?" If I don't let me go without you, if it's too late, I'll be really blind! "In fact, he himself doesn't have much hope, a low-level guard, some possibilities are extremely low.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up, there was a real dragon in front of him, the dragon could breathe fire, and the fire that spewed out was poisonous, and the eyes of the person in front of him were damaged because of this!
"Are you alright? I'm leaving! Seeing that Lin Xi didn't speak, the man hurriedly said.
Lin Xi stretched out his hand to stop him again.
