345 Tracking [Three Watches]
On this day, Nuomi was sitting on the shoulder of the pillar as usual and hurried in the direction of Changshi City, and was a little drowsy from the shaking of the pillar and the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and leaned on the head of the pillar obliquely, already ready to squint.
The slow but steady pace of the pillar suddenly paused, stood still, and raised his right hand in front of her, as if to protect her from falling.
Nuomi had been sitting on the shoulder of the pillar for several days, and had long been accustomed to the shaky pace, and now that the pillar stopped suddenly, she was also startled, and her originally somewhat sluggish spirit was also lifted.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?"
Although she knew that she would not get a response, Nuomi still opened her mouth to ask.
Naturally, the pillar could not answer, but stood silently in place, twisting his head slowly in all directions, as if looking around. At such a time, Nuomi was slightly able to determine the few thin gaps on the surface of the pillar, which were really his facial features.
Glutinous rice involuntarily looked up like a pillar.
What caught her eye was a slightly dry land, with some spiritual grasses unique to the west growing sparsely on it, and she couldn't even see the figure of the leopard. Most of the routes she was walking now were close to the fairy city, and she would not pass through the dense fairy forest, so the surrounding scenery became a little desolate.
She looked around, but saw nothing unusual, and just as she was about to ask, she saw the pillar slowly lower her arm again, and then took a slow step in the direction of the leopard.
“……?” Glutinous rice was a little puzzled, but since the pillar had continued on the road, she didn't say anything anymore, just as if some demon beast was passing by and sent a murderous aura to her.
It was probably because the demon beast noticed that the pillar was so keen, and knew that it had no chance of winning, so it silently turned around and left.
This is not something that has never happened before. It's just that time. Most of the leopards turned their heads and bit at the demon beast, and the demon beast was driven away from it. Nuomi thought about it, looked around again, and really didn't see anything wrong, so she regained her previous lethargic appearance.
However, the pillar had not gone far before it suddenly stopped again, reached out again to hold the glutinous rice, and turned his body to look behind him.
Glutinous rice doesn't think the pillar will feel wrong several times.
She hadn't seen anything, but she knew. You can't go wrong with the feel of the pillars. Don't say it's a few times a triple. Even if it's just once. I'm afraid you can't be wrong.
It's really a Gu person like Zhuzi, and he's too sensitive to murderous aura. Normally, he wouldn't have reacted at all. How many times did the monk look at him curiously, and even touched him with his hand, but he still didn't react. Only when something is coming towards him or glutinous rice to give off a murderous aura. He will react.
It's just that the murderous aura doesn't seem to last long, and this time, even after the pillar has completely turned around, the murderous aura has disappeared again. As soon as the pillar's body turned halfway, it stopped on the way, and slowly turned back again, moving back in the same direction.
The pillar is just a Gu man now, and he has no wisdom at all. As soon as the murderous aura disappeared, he felt safe.
But glutinous rice doesn't think so.
She believed in the feeling of the pillar, and believed that there was indeed something behind her that was sending a murderous aura at her. It wasn't what she thought, just a passing monster. She didn't think that it was only such a short distance, and two demon beasts that didn't open their eyes were sending out murderous aura towards her one after another.
That being the case. Something must have been falling behind her.
At first, the thing didn't know that the pillar had such a keen sense, so it made the pillar sense around for a long time, and was ready to move in the direction of the thing. But when the pillar reacted, that thing probably guessed the pillar's ability, so it forcibly covered up its murderous aura.
The pillar was now more innocent than a child, and after finding that the murderous aura was gone, he started to go back on the road.
The thing fell all the way back, maybe accidentally or for some other reason, and it showed a murderous aura towards them, which caused the pillar to react again.
It's just that the thing has already figured out the ability of the pillar, and it instantly hides its murderous aura again, which is why this kind of pillar only turns halfway and then turns its body back again.
"Hmm......"
Nuomi hesitated slightly, but still took out the spirit whip that he hadn't used for a long time and wrapped it around his wrist.
It's been a long time since she's fought in person. With the two thugs, Lu Leopard and Zhuzi, she didn't even have a chance to intervene outside this fairy forest. However, this does not mean that her skills are rusty because of this. Even if she never had the opportunity to use it, she still meticulously practiced the spells she had mastered, and even the long whip martial arts that she couldn't master well before, she would practice them from time to time.
This time-
The leopard didn't know where it was in front of it, and apparently didn't feel something lurking behind it, so it popped up occasionally and quickly turned to the front again, revealing only a wagging tail.
And the pillar is now a smart person, since the other party can hide his murderous aura, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the pillar to compete with that thing.
Nuomi suddenly felt a little nervous, nervous about the battle that might be coming, but more excited about it.
She touched the whip in her hand and pulled out a piece of talisman paper. After touching the rune paper in front of her lips, she did not hesitate to put the rune paper on herself, and slowly closed her eyes.
As soon as her eyes closed, her consciousness stretched out wildly. In an instant, whether it was the leopard jumping in front of her, or the spirit grass swaying and growing on her side, she couldn't escape the sense of her divine sense. She could even feel a small monster hiding in the grass on her left, looking around with her ears flicked.
But behind her, which she cared about the most, was now empty. Not to mention what it is, even the spirit grass and spirit wood seem to be completely devoid of zài, forming a small hollow.
“…… Hehe......"
Glutinous rice hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed slightly.
If she were told to see what was behind her, she couldn't tell for a moment that it was something that had fallen behind her. But now there was a small vacuum behind her, and she was sure that something was following her. And that thing definitely has some bad intentions.
She couldn't be sure how the thing behind her had created such a vacuum, but since she had already released murderous aura at her several times, and now she deliberately hid her figure and followed behind, it would definitely not be as simple as just passing by.
The piece of rune paper that glutinous rice just pasted on his body is said to be a spell created by Han Chun. This spell can only be activated through rune paper, and the level is not high, so it doesn't seem to have any effect. At the beginning, it was just because he thought it was strange, and it was something that others didn't understand, so Han Chun taught Nuomi, which was grateful to Nuomi for teaching the prescription of the nameless elixir to Tie Wuya.
The spell attached to this rune paper was created by Han Chun himself, and the name was naturally taken by Han Chun, called the Ming and Qing runes. This rune paper cannot attack, nor can it be protected, or even assisted. The only function is to be attached to the body, which can hide the monk's extended divine consciousness, so that the people next to him will not be able to find themselves being snooped.
This kind of rune spell is actually useless, because monks rarely extend their divine sense to test around, for fear that one of them will irritate others if they are not careful. Therefore, even after Han Chun invented this rune paper, he rarely used it. He was even a little embarrassed at first, as if he couldn't hold the rune paper.
But glutinous rice is a person who likes to extend his divine sense. Her divine consciousness has been exercised by the little black ball at the beginning, and it is much broader than that of monks of the same class, and she has long been accustomed to extending her divine consciousness everywhere and checking the situation of the fairy grass, so after obtaining the method of making this rune paper, she was quite happy, and drew several sheets overnight.
The drawing of this rune paper is not very difficult, and even a beginner like glutinous rice has a success rate of more than half.
She just never thought that she would use this talisman paper today.
Han Chun's rune paper is very special, after using this rune paper, even if it releases its divine sense face-to-face, ordinary demon beasts can't perceive it, and she doesn't worry that the thing behind her will detect that she has found the track.
In this way, it is as if the positions of the two sides have been reversed.
Glutinous rice slowly leaned against the pillar, but her hands were already folded under the sleeves of her coat, ready to come up with all kinds of tricks.
――Could it be a monster? Or...... Is it a monk?
She couldn't help but think of the monks she often met when she was walking on the road with Xiao Jingyan.
When she was with Xiao Jingyan at the beginning, Xiao Jingyan was also in charge of doing it. That can only be blamed for her lack of strength at the beginning. Now it seems that she has nothing to rely on...... Or rather, she didn't want to rely on anything anymore.
She herself also wanted to know what kind of level she was now, and whether she would be able to cope with the situation in the Immortal Forest outside. She can't live on others all her life. RP
