Chapter 73: All the way north
Xiao Ling looked at Hong Tian on the left, and then at Yan Jun on the right, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I wanted to quietly leave Yuping Mountain and stay away from them, but I didn't expect to be followed more closely, along the way, she looked for all kinds of ways to avoid the two of them, and she was really helpless.
"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Yan Jun heard Xiao Ling's voice sighing quietly, so he asked with concern.
"Uh, nothing." Xiao Ling heard Yan Jun's inquiry, and then realized that he had just sighed in his heart, but his voice also came out, and he was really dizzy.
"Little Yujing, what's upset about you?" Hong Tian also came over and asked Xiao Ling.
"It's really fine." Xiao Ling hurriedly waved her hand and said, originally she personally agreed to find the God of Darkness with Hong Tian and Yan Jun, if they saw the unhappiness in her heart now, it would obviously hurt the two of them, she couldn't do this kind of thing, so she could only be awkward in her heart.
"Hong Tian, you said that the Dark God went all the way to the north, why did we walk all the way and didn't find any traces?" Xiao Ling saw Yan Jun and Hong Tian's exploratory eyes, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"We're off the beaten path, wouldn't it be better if we went somewhere more populated?" Hong Tian thought for a while and replied.
"Is there any news from the little demon you sent to track down the Dark God?" Xiao Ling suddenly remembered what he had said in Yuping Mountain, he had said that he had found the traces of the dark god and sent a little demon to pursue it.
"Wouldn't the little demon you sent have been discovered by the Dark God and become the ghost of his demon dragon sword?" Yan Jun saw that Hong Tian was being questioned by Xiao Ling, but he didn't answer, so he guessed.
"Probably not." Hong Tian shook his head, "That little demon is a flying squirrel that has not yet transformed into a human form, it has a rabbit face, a short and sensitive body, good at hiding, hiding among the grass like an ordinary hare, but it is extremely fast, good at flying, and it should not be detected easily." No message has been sent back so far, probably because no exact trace of the Dark God has been found. ”
"In that case, as Hong Tian said, we may be able to find something by trying to walk around the crowded places." After listening to what Hong Tian said, Xiao Ling finally decided.
"There's a city further on, let's go into the city before it gets dark." Hong Tian took out the topographic map in his hand and looked at it and said.
Zhuoguang City, this is the largest city in the northern continent of the human world, most of the people in this city are mortal monks, in addition to the demons are not a few, although the number of ordinary mortals is not much, but the courage is very great, and it is not strange to the strange things that pop up on the street at any time, and it is very calm.
"Zhuoguang City is very suitable for listening to the news, and the demons and demons live here, so the news is also very well-informed." Hong Tian had been here before, and even if he didn't read the mortal travels given to him by Jiuhong, he knew a thing or two.
"It's going to get dark, let's find a place to rest, we can't sleep on the streets here." Yan Jun proposed.
"Don't worry, the demon world has a contact point here, I'll contact them now, and by the way, ask if there is any news left by flying squirrels." Hong Tian said to Xiao Ling.
I saw Hong Tian's right hand flipped, and a sound bird appeared in the palm of his hand, Hong Tian held it up, whispered a few words to it, and then flew into the air, the sound bird flapped its wings and flew high, and disappeared in an instant.
It didn't take long for the bird to fly back, and as soon as Hong Tian put it away, an old man with a white head and white beard ran from a distance, and immediately wanted to pay a big salute when he saw Hong Tian.
"Okay, don't be polite." Hong Tian stretched out his hand and gently supported it, and the old man stood in front of Hong Tian, "Are you the steward here?" What do you call it? ”
"Back to the king, you can call me Bai Weng, I am the steward of Zhuoguang City, and there are nine hundred and eighty-one demons under my command." Bai Weng bent down and stood up, respectfully answering Hong Tian's question.
"Hmm." Hong Tian nodded, and then explained: "Bai Weng, find a quiet courtyard for this king and his two friends, we will stay in Zhuoguang City tonight." ”
"Yes, my lord. Please come with me, the king and the two distinguished guests! Bai Weng heard Hong Tian's request and immediately made arrangements.
It didn't take long for Bai Weng to bring Hong Tian, Xiao Ling, and Yan Jun to a wide street, "Great King, this street is the main street of Zhuoguang City, and it is very lively. Most of the people living in the east are mortal monks, the people of the demon realm live in the south, and the north is our territory. Bai Weng introduced to Hong Tian as he walked, showing incomparable pride in his demeanor and tone, it seemed that he was doing well in Zhuoguang City.
"Hmm." Hong Tian still looked unfathomable, Xiao Ling and Yan Jun followed closely behind without squinting, and they didn't have much interest. Seeing this, Bai Weng didn't dare to brag more, and hurriedly lowered his head to take the lead.
Soon, everyone came to a house facing the street, this house looked very ordinary from the outside, Hong Tian glanced up, and then looked at Bai Weng, "This is it?" ”
"Back to the king, don't look at this mansion from the outside, it looks very ordinary, but after entering, there is no cave, please inside!" Bai Weng saw that Hong Tian seemed to be in a worried expression, and hurriedly explained.
"It's nice to be able to see people coming and going on the street, and it's easy to get in and out." When Xiao Ling strayed into the demon world after transforming into a form, he served Hong Tian for a long time, and naturally knew his fastidious character, seeing that he was going to make more trouble for Bai Weng, he hurriedly spoke.
Hong Tian heard what Xiao Ling said, and seemed to like this house very much, so he reprimanded Bai Weng's words and spoke again, just snorted coldly, and walked in with Bai Weng.
Stepping into the house, a soft warm breeze blows in the face, and the cold climate outside the house is like two worlds. Although Hong Tian, Yan Jun and Xiao Ling were not afraid of the cold, such a warm and moderate climate still made them feel comfortable.
Then, the further they walked inside, the more surprised the three of them became, this mansion looked ordinary and unpretentious, and it was really unique when they walked inside. The blue sky, white clouds, lakes, and grass plants seem to be different from the outside, and they look more translucent and fresh. In addition, the layout of this house is very clever, the attic pavilions are scattered, and what is even more amazing is that sitting in the courtyard, you can completely see the people and things on the opposite street, everything can be seen clearly.
Even Hong Tian, who loves more seriously, was satisfied when he saw everything in front of him, "Bai Weng, this place is really good." ”
"Thank you for your praise!" Bai Weng saw that Hong Tian was very satisfied with this house, and he was proud in his heart, this was carefully built by him with all his financial and material resources, but it was worth it to be praised by the demon king! (To be continued.) )
