Chapter 41: A Mysterious Letter
Su Su and Ling Huxuan came to the gate of Wuqiaozhuang, which was gradually sparsely populated, and there were only a few hawkers who were hawking as they walked. A child, who looked to be only about seven or eight years old, walked towards them.
"Big sister, here's a letter that my uncle asked me to hand you over." The boy approached Su Su, grinned at her, took out a letter from the small bamboo basket he was carrying, and handed it over.
Su Su was stunned for a moment, and looked at the little boy, only to see that the little boy was wearing a washed white coarse cloth shirt, with many patches on his clothes, and carrying a small bamboo basket containing a yellow pear.
"Little brother, I haven't been here, I shouldn't know anyone, how can someone write to me? Are you mistaken? Su Su said suspiciously, raising his hand to return the letter to the child.
Unexpectedly, the little boy waved his hand again and again and took a step back. Don't look at his young age, but he has the ability to never forget. This beautiful sister would have thought that he was mistaken, if it weren't for the bearded uncle who said that he must look at the sister on the portrait and read the letter, Xiao Cong would have left a long time ago. But that uncle is also really generous, he wants to buy all his pears, of course, Xiao Cong will leave a honey pear for his grandmother every day, so he took out the largest honey pear, sold the rest of the honey pears to the uncle, and finally, the uncle also gave him another Xingluo gold coin.
"Big sister, that uncle said it was for you, he showed me your portrait, everyone in Luoyang City knows it, Xiao Cong, I can't be mistaken." Xiao Cong pursed his lips slightly and said a little angrily.
"Well, thank you, little brother. What does the person who asked you to deliver the letter look like? Su Su touched his nose and asked softly.
"I don't know, the uncle just said, you will understand after reading the letter. Oh, and by the way, he also said, if you want to see as many people as you want, be quick. Satoshi said.
Su Su nodded, took the letter and looked at it carefully, but found that the envelope was empty, and there was neither the sender nor the recipient.
She was about to open the envelope to see the clues, so Hu Xuan took the letter first, opened the seal, used the internal force to form a protective film in her hand, and took out the letter paper to unfold. Immediately, he grabbed his right hand from the void, took out an inch-long silver needle in the storage ring, measured it on the letter paper, saw that the silver needle did not change color, and handed the letter to Su Su, and the whole process was so fast that Su Su couldn't react.
"Read the letter, it's not poisonous." Ling Huxuan said to Su Su with a smile and handed over the letter.
Ling Huxuan saw that Su Su's stunned expression was very cute, so he pinched her pretty face.
"Hey~, don't pinch my face casually~!" Su Su came back to his senses, jumped back, and said angrily.
Ling Huxuan couldn't stop laughing, Su Su didn't bother to pay attention to him, and unfolded the letter and looked at it.
"Big brother, you're a little naïve, big sister, you read the letter slowly, I'm leaving." Xiao Cong saw that Su Su was already reading the letter, so he took his leave and left.
"Oh, this little ghost is only a few years old, and he still calls me naïve." Ling Huxuan looked at Xiao Cong who walked away, and asked Cangtian speechlessly.
After reading the letter, Su Su couldn't help frowning slightly. The letter said that the pair of grandchildren she was going to rescue in Wuqiaozhuang were imprisoned in an abandoned old house in Wuqiaozhuang, and the person who wrote the letter emphasized in the letter that Su Su could only go by himself, otherwise there would be an accident for the grandchildren. At the end of the letter is a map of guidance, signed by Qiang Ye.
"Linghuxuan, this letter said let me go to that place alone, you can find a teahouse in Luoyang City and wait for me." Su Su said with a calm expression.
"Susu, the abandoned old house marked on the map is the famous haunted house of Wuqiaozhuang. Even the local residents of Wuqiaozhuang will not approach it at will. Even I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get out of it safely once I'm inside. I look at ......" Ling Huxuan did not hide his concern, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Su Su.
"Ling Huxuan, I know you think that I am still only a three-legged cat, so I am worried about my safety. You can rest assured of this, although I dare not boast that I can protect others, but it is definitely more than enough to protect myself. Su Su hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, patted Ling Huxuan's shoulder with a smile, and said very confidently.
What kind of international joke, Ling Hu Xuan doesn't believe in her self-preservation ability so much, you must know that her personal space is very good, and she has to keep this little life and find a way to go home. Besides, if that haunted mansion was really a trap, it would be even more inconvenient for her to avoid it with Ling Huxuan. So she didn't make this decision on impulse, but after careful consideration.
Su Su knew that Ling Huxuan was not worried about her safety, looked left and right, and found that there were no passers-by, so he pulled Ling Huxuan into the dense forest by the lake on the side of the road.
"What are you pulling me here for?" Ling Huxuan was a little confused and asked puzzled.
"Don't talk, shh~!" Su Su motioned for Linghu Xuan to be silent, and immediately dodged into the space.
Ling Huxuan looked at Su Su, who was still in front of him one second, but suddenly disappeared the next second, and was stunned for only a few tenths and one second, and then regained his indifferent expression.
All along, Ling Huxuan knew that Su Su was very mysterious. He was stunned just now, that was because the ordinary monk's escape technique, or the earth escape technique, this kind of technique needs to be practiced from a young age, and the self-cultivation is one with the soil, and his own cultivation has reached the Yuan Infant stage, so that he can escape into the soil and hide his body. Or the water breath technique, this water breath technique is also a technique of concealing the body, this technique not only has to be practiced from a young age, but also needs to look at the root bones, some people spend their whole lives, even if they cultivate high, they can't learn it. Today, these two techniques are the only ones that have not yet been inherited in the art of hiding the body. It's just that these two spells can hide the body, but they can't completely hide the breath of the person who performs the spell. If you encounter a stronger enemy, you will be spotted immediately.
And after Su Su disappeared out of thin air, he couldn't even detect a trace of breath. Obviously not these two spells.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, recalling that Su Su had said "portable space" several times before, intentionally or unintentionally, so now seeing this scene, Ling Huxuan naturally knew that Su Su was suing him with practical actions, and she was willing to sue herself for her personal space.
Just as Hu Xuan was distracted, Su Su reappeared in front of him. The location was exactly the same as before she disappeared, and it seemed that her departure just now only dazzled Hu Xuan.
"Hey~, Linghu Xuan, come back to your senses~!" Su Su clasped his hands into a trumpet shape, approached Ling Huxuan's ear, and shouted loudly.
Ling Hu Xuan hurriedly dodged to avoid Su Su's lion roar, propped one hand on the trunk of the tree, and the other hand was wrapped in front of his chest, looking at Su Su with a smile on his side.
"......, what are you smiling at?" Su Su was upside down by the hairs that made Hu Xuan laugh, she brushed her two arms, and asked uncomfortably.
"I'm so happy that I'm smiling." Ling Huxuan stopped smiling and said seriously.
"Hey, you're so weird, laughing inexplicably, forget it, I don't bother with you about these things. I said, you just saw me disappear, didn't you? Su Su looked up and saw that it was not early, so he hurried back to business.
"Well, yes, I saw it, you just disappeared with a bang." Ling Huxuan said with a smile. He didn't know what's wrong, he felt that Su Su could let him know, it was really a thing that made him happy, it seemed that they were closer in this way.
"So, what I'm going to tell you next, don't be too surprised~." Su Su said mysteriously to Ling Huxuan.
"Uh-huh! Go ahead~. Ling Hu Xuan made a gesture of listening.
"I can freely enter and exit a world that belongs only to me, and the time is not the same as this world, but that world, which is what the cultivators call space, has the same land, air, sun, and wind, and ......, uh, it seems to be off topic. To put it simply, if I encounter danger, I can choose whether to enter the space that belongs to me or not. So, I have enough self-preservation. Su Su patiently explained to Ling Huxuan.
After getting along for so long, she could also see that Ling Huxuan was really a good friend to her, so she didn't want him to worry about it needlessly.
Ling Huxuan listened to Su Su's description of her personal space, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became bigger and bigger. Perhaps, if other monks were here to listen to Su Su's words, they would immediately take away Su Su's personal space and then kill him. Or if you can't take away the space with you, you can control Su Su and become the puppet tool of this monk. You must know that the treasures of the cultivation realm all change hands under your struggle, and no one can have a certain treasure forever.
And Su Su was able to tell him that she had such a precious treasure, wasn't this a trust that Ling Huxuan dreamed of.
"Linghu Xuan, I said what happened to you today, you always smirk, be careful that your chin is going to laugh off. Anyway, I've already said it, don't worry about my safety, I'll go rescue the grandparents and set off flares here. That's it, I'm gone. Su Su didn't want to see Ling Huxuan with an idiot smile on his face, so he turned around and left after talking to himself, thinking as he walked, whether Ling Huxuan had taken the wrong medicine today.
"Susu, remember to put safety first, if there is danger, run out first, and then we will think about it in the long run." Ling Huxuan looked at Su Su's back and said loudly.
Under the slanting sun, dappled sunlight casts down from the cracks in the trees, gilding Susu's back with a layer of gold. Her feet were on the thick leaves, making a subtle sound.
Su Su heard Ling Huxuan's words, she raised her arm without looking back, made a gesture of victory, and walked farther and farther with full momentum. But when he was about to get out of the dense forest, he stepped on a banana peel and threw a dog in the air.
"Oops, I'll go~! This is a guy who doesn't have long eyes, so without public morality, and throws the skin of a banana after eating! After Susu got up from the ground, he saw that the culprit was a banana peel. In an instant, he was furious, crossed his waist with both hands, and scolded the street in the shape of a teapot. After scolding a few words, only a few birds in the forest were startled, and Su Su also felt bored, touched his nose, and comforted himself. "No one saw it anyway, and if you fall and pick up a bag, you can earn it anyway."
After she finished talking to herself, she rubbed a large bag that was swollen on her right knee and walked in the direction of Wuqiaozhuang. didn't notice that on the trunk of a big tree behind him, there was a handsome young man.
