Chapter 43: The Suzaku Venerable (Part 2)
"No, you can't run south in the direction of the tribe. If I were a killer, I would definitely lay out a backhand on the road. ”
Xiao Nan took advantage of Huang Ji's entanglement with the killer, ran hundreds of steps away, and when he was thinking about it, he changed his direction and went to the deep mountains.
Even if you may encounter monsters in the mountains, they are safer than sinister humans.
This mountain forest, Xiao Nan and Meng Yao have walked through once, and they are relatively familiar.
Maybe it was Huang Ji's resistance that took effect, he ran for half an hour, and never found the killer of the Night Pavilion chasing after him.
The mountain was dangerous, and he didn't want to go deeper, so he found a low-lying grass lurking and watched what happened.
"It's so complicated in the mountains, and it's night, three or five, do you think we can find it?"
A deep voice suddenly came, making Xiao Nan's heartstrings tense.
"Sanliu, since His Holiness is here, we will definitely be able to find it. Another slightly shrill voice rang out, "This is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, don't slack off, maybe when we will be in the running." ”
"Three-five, three-six...... Why is this title so familiar?" Xiao Nan muttered in his heart, and his ears trembled and suddenly felt wrong.
A very light, very soft "rustle" sound slowly approached.
"No, is it...... Blacktail?"
His face changed drastically, and he looked through the gap in the grass stem, and sure enough, he saw a swarthy poisonous snake swimming over.
The poisonous snake approached closer and closer, and the snake believed in it, and soon arrived in front of Xiao Nan. Life and death were at stake, he had no choice, his right hand suddenly reached out, and he killed the black-tailed snake with one finger.
"Who is it?" the two men who were talking outside shouted at the same time, leaping near the sound, forming a flanking momentum.
"Oh no!" Xiao Nan's mind raced, thinking about how to deal with it, "By the way, three-five, three-six, are they ......?"
He remembered Wang Erwu's name, which was all named after the serial number, and immediately understood some things.
"You can't beat it, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!"
He gritted his teeth and, following some previous conjectures, slowly pulled out a token from his storage bag.
When the two people shrouded in black saw the token, they suddenly changed color, and quickly knelt on the ground, and saluted respectfully: "My subordinates have seen Venerable!"
This token is made of old material, and it is exquisitely carved, engraved with a large bird with wings ready to fly, resembling the legendary phoenix.
Next to it, there is a "south" character engraved with brute pattern, which is the phoenix token left by Wang Lung after his death.
Xiao Nan has studied it, and there is nothing strange about the token itself, so he guessed that the phoenix token may represent Wang Lung's identity, but he doesn't know if this token can be used after Wang Lung's death.
Wang Long's surname is Wang, and he is the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard, and he must be the person who left the Wang clan in the south. And Wang 25, 35, and 361 are in the same lineage, and they must also be Wang's people.
So, this token may come in handy at a critical moment, but I didn't expect it to succeed, and it went far more smoothly than expected.
However, this token is also very dangerous, and once you meet someone who knows the goods, you can immediately reverse that Wang Lung's death is related to him.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Nan couldn't figure out the situation and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he asked concisely.
"Venerable Vermilion Bird, we are on the orders of the leader to search for the whereabouts of Venerable Qinglong!"
The two men in black trembled and did not dare to deceive.
"Qinglong Venerable?" Xiao Nan suddenly remembered the dragon head masked people who chased and killed his mother and wife a while ago, but he didn't expect that they were also from the Wang family.
In this way, everything is very clear. Trade Winds Literature Network
The Wang clan coveted a certain item of Xiao Jiu, and first sent Wang Long, the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard, to snatch it, but unexpectedly met a playboy from Tai'an Kingdom.
Subsequently, Wang Xian of the medicine collection team used a medicine basket to test and stimulate his mother to be seriously ill, but he was killed by his own fish intestine magic power.
During this period, Wang Gu, the son of Wang Qian, the leader of the hunting party, tried many times, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, intending to force himself to sign a slave contract.
In the end, Venerable Qinglong took advantage of the absence of the guardian elder on the Youyuan Festival to personally arrest his mother and wife, but he didn't expect to be brought into a maze by himself and trapped in it.
There is only one culprit in all this.
"Wang, you forced my father to disappear, my mother was seriously ill, and I was trapped in death many times.
Xiao Nan's heart burned with monstrous anger, but he knew that with his own strength, it was impossible to compete with the other party in the short term.
He could only pretend not to know, be false and wronged, and slowly try to figure it out.
"No! The deity suspects that you are a fake!" Xiao Nan suddenly shouted angrily, causing the two of them to tremble, "The deity asks you, what is my surname, and where is my position? If there is a slight wrong answer, the deity will let you not survive, and you can't die!"
"Honorable ...... Venerable, you're laughing!" The two hurriedly kowtowed and bowed, scrambling to answer: "As the Venerable Southern Vermilion Bird, you are naturally the king of Nanzhu! As for the position...... Your identity has always been the most secretive, and your subordinates are of a low rank, and you really don't have the authority to know. Please forgive your sins!"
"Is the deity joking? But you're right. After hearing this, Xiao Nan was a little puzzled, why was Venerable Suzaku not called Wang Long, could it be the new successor?
"The deity entered the mountain this time to carry out a secret mission, and you are not allowed to mention it to anyone when you see me, remember?" Xiao Nan snorted coldly and told the two not to reveal their whereabouts.
"My subordinates understand! My subordinates have never seen His Holiness today!" the two of them were smart and quickly changed their words.
"Very good, you are doing well! The deity will remind you that the clue you are looking for may be in that direction!"
Xiao Nan pointed to the direction where the killers of the Night Pavilion were infested, and he came to the east with a disaster.
"Thank you, Venerable!" the two of them looked ecstatic, and after seeing Xiao Nan nodding, they immediately rushed in the direction they were pointing.
Xiao Nan was worried that if he went on, he might encounter the Wang family's secret guard again, so he changed direction and found another place to hide.
An hour had passed, and the mountains were silent.
Occasionally, the chirping of insects and the faint roar of beasts in the distance could be heard. Neither the Night Pavilion nor the Wang clan reappeared.
"Is it finally safe?"
Xiao Nan pondered whether to go home, but as soon as he was relieved, he suddenly saw a black shadow stumbling and falling not far away.
"Huang Ji?" He recognized the identity of the black shadow at a glance, it was the noble son Huang Ji.
However, he was extremely embarrassed at this time, and half of his clothes were stained red with blood, and he was miserable.
Xiao Nan cautiously observed the surroundings and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he shook his head and sighed: "That's it, since you met me again, the master will save you!"
He dragged Huang Ji to lie down in the grass, took out a healing herb pill from the storage bag, fed him to take it, and then took off his bloodstained clothes, raised his hands and quickly shifted his position.
The smell of blood is too strong, and dragging it away will leave marks.
Smells, bloodstains, footprints...... These are easy to track and very dangerous.
Fortunately, Xiao Nan is a fourth-layer realm of quenching, and his strength is a thousand catties, so it is not difficult to lift an adult.
"It's you...... You saved me?"
Huang Ji got a little better after taking the healing pill, and soon woke up and looked at Xiao Nan gratefully.
