"Well," Tianlan was a little absent-minded, "by the way, what did you say you wanted to tell me?"

Nangong Kui came to the guest room, sat down face to face with Tianlan, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Tianlan.

Tianlan took it and glanced at the envelope, which read "Childe personally opened". His heart beat faster in an instant, this handwriting was too familiar to him! This is Xiaotang's handwriting! Is it Xiaotang's letter to him?

He immediately asked Nangong Kui: "This is the letter sent by Xiaotang, when was it delivered, and where is she?"

Nangong Kui said: "I didn't see Sister Tang, this was sent by a little boy in our Golden Lion City, he said that it was a big sister who asked him to deliver the letter to me, saying that he wanted me to 'handover' it to a big brother in white clothes." Listening to his description, I think he is seven or eight points similar to Sister Tang, and the big brother in white he is talking about should refer to you, Brother Tianlan, right?"

Tianlan nodded and said, "That's right, the handwriting on this letter is Xiaotang's handwriting." There can be no mistake. ”

"That's good!" Nangong Kui smiled, and then, he was a little confused, and said, "This was ten days ago. It happened a little weirdly, it seems that Sister Tang asked me to 'hand' over the letter to you, but I really can't figure it out, why didn't Sister Tang come to me directly, but went around in such a big circle? Also, if she knew that you would come to the Golden Lion City, why didn't she go to you directly and tell you, but in such a troublesome way as writing letters?"

Tianlan groaned: "There are indeed a lot of puzzling things here, I think this letter will give us the answer." ”

As he spoke, he opened the envelope, took out the thin piece of paper inside, and began to read it silently. The letter was not much, and he read it in less than half a minute, and then frowned and pondered.

Nangong Kui had actually been guessing that the content of the letter must not be a good thing, but now seeing Tianlan's expression, he was even more convinced of his judgment, and said, "Brother Tianlan, what did the letter say?"

Tianlan gave him the letter paper and said, "Read it for yourself." ”

Nangong Kui took the letter and skimmed through it roughly. What the letter said was very simple, that is, Xiaotang had encountered some trouble and had to deal with it first. It is not specified in the letter what it is. However, at the end of the letter, a sentence was added: If you have anything to do with me, please come to Langji Pagoda.

Seeing that he had finished reading the letter, Tianlan asked, "What is the place of Langji Pagoda?

Nangong Kui shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the Langji Pagoda is in the westernmost part of the Ice and Snow Empire, and it takes seven or eight days to travel from here, and the distance is very far, and our Golden Lion Regiment has almost no power there, so I am not very familiar with it." ”

Tianlan had never heard of it before, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help asking, "That place is very famous?"

"Famous, right...... I remember that the Langji Pagoda should be more than ten years ago when an emperor of the Ice and Snow Empire came to build it, it was still very gorgeous at that time, the tower is seven stories high, the four corners of the cornice, the top is inlaid with 'jade' stone, and the tower is specially used to collect the pearl, so it is named 'Langji Pagoda'! But the old emperor has died a few years ago, and the tower is located in a remote area, so it is gradually abandoned. I don't seem to have heard of the reopening of the Langji Pagoda recently, what is Sister Tang going to do in that place?"

Tianlan pondered, pointed to the last sentence on the letter and said, "You see, this last sentence does not match the meaning of the previous text. Most of the previous content is to tell me the reason why she left, with Xiaotang's 'temperament', if she has any 'private' affairs, she will definitely not take the initiative to trouble me. And in the end, she suddenly wrote her location, which made people think that I was asking me to go to Langji Pagoda to find her, which seemed a little wrong. ”

Nangong Kui also frowned and said, "That's right. Sister Tang feels so sorry for you, how could she do this......"

Tianlan continued: "The most suspicious thing is this ink. The ink of the last sentence is obviously slightly darker than the previous one, and the lines are slightly expanded, and it is clear that it was not written in one sitting. But this is indeed Xiaotang's handwriting, could it be that she thought of it later and added it?"

Nangong Kui said: "Is it possible that someone else imitated Sister Tang's handwriting?"

"No, if that's the case, I can see through it at a glance. No matter how similar others imitate, they are only similar to the form, but they cannot be god-like. I taught Xiaotang's characters single-handedly, how could I admit my mistake?"

Nangong Kui was even more 'confused', holding his chin and saying, "That'...... What are you going to do? Are you going to go to an appointment?"

Tianlan's eyes were firm, and he said, "Go!

Nangong Kui opened his mouth and whispered, "However, it may be a trap......"

Tianlan shook his head and said, "Even if it's a trap, you have to go, because this is Xiaotang's handwriting, even if it is not out of Xiaotang's wishes, it must have something to do with her." Besides, you don't have to think too much, it may be that Xiaotang has encountered some unspeakable difficulties, so he will notify me in this way. I think everything will be clear when I get to Langji Pagoda. ”

Nangong Kui said, "Do you need me to send someone with you?"

"Nope. Tianlan refused, "I'll just go alone." Your mercenary group has just stabilized, so you should stay here and don't make any trouble. ”

"Hmm......" Nangong Kui lowered his head in frustration. He had just taken over the position of regimental commander, and he really had no prestige, and it was not easy to mobilize people in his name, and he couldn't leave on his own. Although the father and the second uncle are definitely willing to help Brother Tianlan, but Brother Tianlan will not want to trouble them because of his affairs, besides, Sister Tang deliberately avoided seeing them, and even asked someone to transfer the letter to 'hand', maybe she didn't want him to get involved, and the letter also specified that Brother Tianlan would go to the appointment alone, if he had a lot of things, would he be disgusted?

Tianlan didn't notice the twists and turns in Nangong Kui's heart, and only thought about Xiaotang. Finally there is news of Xiaotang, not to mention that this is likely to be Xiaotang's letter for help, even if this statement is clearly a trap, he still has to take this trip! He can't wait to set off now!

"Nangong, then I'll leave tomorrow. ”

"Ah, so fast, Brother Tianlan, you finally came to us, why don't you stay for a few more days? Father and Second Uncle also said that they want to thank you for saving your life! Besides, you have just come back from such a far away, you should be very tired, and it will be okay to rest for a few more days?"

Tianlan knew that he had good intentions, but he still politely refused: "No, I'm worried about Xiaotang." The next time you have the opportunity, you will definitely be able to do your best as a landlord. ”

"Well, well. Nangong Kui also understood his feelings, but when he thought that Tianlan was going to leave again soon, he was extremely reluctant. It's not easy to see each other! I don't know when we will meet again......

Tianlan saw that he was so lost, and comforted: "That's it." When I find Xiaotang, I will return to the Golden Lion City with her as a guest, what do you think?"

Nangong Kui's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Okay, I haven't seen Sister Tang for a long time!

After making an appointment with Nangong Kui, Tianlan symbolized 'sex' and lived in Nangong Mansion for a day, and left in a hurry the next day. Nangong Mingjing and Nangong Mingqing naturally thanked him a thousand times and gave him a lot of gifts, but Tianlan didn't have time to excuse them because he was in a hurry, so he accepted it and left. At this point, the matter of Golden Lion City has finally come to an end, and now he has to do something more important: find Xiaotang!

According to the map given by Nangong Kui, Tianlan followed a westward caravan to the vicinity of Langji Pagoda. There weren't too many rights and wrongs along the way, and seven days later, he was in the westernmost part of the Ice and Snow Empire.

Langji Pagoda is located in the middle of nowhere, and the caravan takes the main road, so it can only send Tianlan to the nearest official road. Tianlan said goodbye to the caravan and set out on his journey alone again, 'groping' the location of the Suolangji Pagoda along the map.

Fortunately, although the Langji Pagoda is deserted, it can be regarded as a local symbol, and the locals are very clear about that place, and Tianlan can easily hear about the Langji Pagoda from passers-by.

After a tortuous glacier road, Tianlan finally came to the front of Langji Pagoda.

When he saw this tower with his own eyes, Tianlan felt that it was a little unworthy of the name. The tower was abandoned many years ago, the paint on the walls was almost peeling off, most of the cornices were knocked off, and some ugly wooden boards were used to prevent water leakage, like patches, which made the tower even more dilapidated. If it weren't for Nangong Kui telling him personally, Tianlan really couldn't imagine that this old thing had just been built for more than ten years.

What do you do now? Do you want to go in?

When he arrived at the 'door', Tianlan hesitated. I looked around, but there was no smell of anyone around. He can't use the 'essence' divine power now, and he can't find out the situation inside the tower from the outside, is there a mechanism inside? But standing in front of the tower, he doesn't have any obvious sense of crisis, does this mean that there is no danger inside?

Thinking of this, Tianlan suddenly woke up and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

When did he become so forward-looking and cowering? Even if there was danger, so what? He had done all the more dangerous things, he dared to break into the ghost realm of the dead, and a broken tower actually stumped him? Was it because he couldn't use the 'spirit' divine power that affected his self-confidence? Or did he become afraid of death?

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, walked straight forward, and pushed open the tower 'door'.

The tower 'door' creaked open slowly, bringing up a puff of dust, and Tianlan was also ready to summon the Soul Eater at any time, lest any monsters suddenly appear in the tower.

However, in fact it was quiet in the tower, and nothing happened. It was pitch black inside, and there was no candlelight, except for a few rays of sunlight shining in through the broken leaks.

The Ice and Snow Empire is located in a cold area, and the sun is not abundant, but now it is a winter evening in the Empire, the sun is dim, and the tower is so dark that it is almost impossible to see. Such a 'yin' place seems to be a good place for ambush, even if no one pays attention to him, it is difficult to say whether it will inhabit poisonous insects and poisons, and it is even more troublesome if it encounters a 'yin' spirit.

However, since he has come here, he will not retreat easily, and carefully steps into the 'door' threshold, and 'gropes' inside.
