Volume 1: Awakening from a Dream and Finding Your Way Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange
It's still the bustling street, bustling and lively, but the curtain is a little uncomfortable, and the pace is hurried.
Suddenly, he saw the tall and thin man again, turning into a small road.
Makutsu didn't care, and continued to move forward, walking to the side of the path with Makuzu's hearing, and heard a low female voice coughing, weak and intermittent.
It stands to reason that this sound is very weak, and even if Makutsuri has good hearing, it should be difficult to hear.
He wasn't the kind of person who liked to meddle with things, but when he met this person again, he stumbled upon it and found that there was something strange about it.
The curtain was silent for a moment, turned into the alley, looked for the sound, turned around, and found a very dilapidated small house, which was very different from the bustling houses outside.
I felt it carefully, but I didn't notice anything unusual. Then, the curtain swept the spiritual sense, and found that there was a pale tall and thin man in the room, wandering anxiously outside the bed, and on the bed was a middle-aged woman, dressed plainly, covered with patches, coughing from time to time, and her face was extremely pale, as if she was like a candle in the wind.
Suddenly, there was a sense of guilt for peeking into other people's privacy, but then it flashed. From this place before, he felt a kind of spatial fluctuation, very faint and faint, but then it was gone.
"Mother, quick, drink this bowl of medicine, and your body will be well soon." The tall, pale man said comfortingly, but his face was full of solemnity, but it was hidden deeply.
"Si'er, don't waste this money for your mother anymore, my mother sees that every time you come back, you have blood on your body...... Ahem, distressed, distressed!" The middle-aged woman's pale face had mist in her eyes.
"Mother!"
"Si'er! Listen to me, my mother's own body knows by herself, and she won't survive for long...... You save all this money, marry a good daughter-in-law, and give our Liu family a succession, so that you will be blind to your mother's death. As if returning to the light, when talking about the back, the middle-aged woman's voice was a little angry, and she was no longer lifeless before.
Makutsuri still didn't feel anything unusual from inside their house. He was about to leave, but at this time, he noticed that there was a small piece of jade on the ground under the middle-aged woman's bed, about the size of a mung bean, with a light red glow. If you're not careful, Makutsumi didn't pay attention at all.
This is...... Blood?
Makutsu thought with some uncertainty.
This piece of jade is very ordinary, very ordinary, there is nothing supernatural, if it is blood, why is it absorbed by broken jade?...... The two were pale...... The blood qi is absorbed by the broken jade, no, this ordinary broken jade does not have this ability.
This is a possibility that Mu Wei thought of, although the lack of blood qi can be a lack of food and other intake, but Mu Wei intuitively felt that there was a source to absorb blood qi, because all this was too strange, he found an abnormality, and then the two of them had a loss of blood qi at the same time.
Mu Yu clearly felt that this broken jade was an ordinary thing, although this middle-aged woman should have a serious loss of blood, but she didn't feel that her blood was attracted by the broken jade.
This made the curtain a little puzzled, but this kind of problem was easier to solve, and then the curtain was slowly observing the other people, and they all found that there were different blood deficits, but it was not as serious as theirs.
Somewhat strangely, Makutsu continued to stay, but thirty minutes passed, and there was still no movement, which made Makutsumi a little irritable.
But just when the curtain was a little impetuous, that kind of spatial fluctuation flashed again, and the curtain immediately saw a trace of weak blood qi separated from the two of them, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and slowly sank under the earth.
And there was something strange about itself, but then it was closed by the curtain.
And that's the culprit?
Ground floor.
After a while, the curtain was silent, and the spiritual sense penetrated into the ground, and it was pitch black, and it continued to go deeper, five meters ...... Ten meters.
Suddenly, a dark light appeared, and mysterious patterns were depicted in a special direction and order.
At this time, the pattern is introverted, and the surroundings are gloomy.
Makutsu carefully observed, fearing that there would be people, but there was no one, and then teleported into the underground space.
It should be a formation...... But what formation absorbs people's flesh and energy?
It is normal for there to be a formation in the city, but this formation should not be harmful to the human body. Otherwise, if it is not triggered now, they are all absorbing blood qi, once the formation is opened, isn't it just that the blood is empty in an instant, and in serious cases, it even becomes a dry corpse?
Isn't this a blood sacrifice......
Mu Yu was suddenly frightened by his own thoughts, how could there be such a thing in the main city of the dignified human race, if it was true, then this matter would be very serious.
No matter how carefully the curtain is probed, it is not possible to draw conclusions at will.
This underground cavern, with no other passages to enter, should have been sealed for a long time.
The curtain can't tell what the specific use of this formation is for this pattern, but according to his own spatial perception and careful feeling, he can find a little abnormality from it, that is, is, isolating the outside world and prohibiting spatial teleportation.
Mu Wei felt that this was normal, otherwise there would be a traitorous person secretly laying out a teleportation formation, and the main city of the human race would be in danger. However, the teleportation array consumes a lot, and although the human race has mastered this method, it has not laid out the teleportation array, which is also the information that the curtain continues to extract from more than a thousand rooms.
However, this is mainly to prevent the Black Abyss Clan, after all, their blood sacrifice has energy, and then they can lead the army to invade by setting up a teleportation array.
Suddenly, thinking of this, Makumi gasped, and the blood sacrifice ...... Formation...... The Black Abyss.
It's just that the formation here is to prohibit teleportation.
The curtain was a little puzzled, but there was no doubt that it had the function of absorbing blood and qi.
Don't startle the snake!
After leaving here, it took more than ten minutes to return to the inn.
I was going to find more than a thousand rooms and ask some questions, but he wasn't there, and I heard from the mouth of the curtain that he had just gone to the ruins to have a look. Makutsu felt that he should not enter that place without permission, after all, it was still quite dangerous, and even the person who entered the Dao died of terror.
But I still have to go and see it, so that he doesn't have to do stupid things.
It's just that as soon as the curtain came out of the inn, a soldier saw it and hurriedly walked over, the voice of Jin Tie was crisp, and he said respectfully: "May I ask if you are the curtain tree?"
Makutsu chuckled inwardly, and thought for a moment, but still nodded.
The soldier said happily: "Your Excellency the city lord, please discuss something!"
Instead of agreeing immediately, he asked, "Do you know what the Hundred Battles City Lord is looking for me?"
"I heard it's about Miss!"
It's okay not to say this, but when I say it, my head hurts a little, and my teeth hurt.
"Alas...... How difficult the world is, let's go!" Makumi sighed, he still had to face it.
"Please!" Although the soldier was puzzled and felt that there was a lot of gossip in it, he still couldn't help but ask.
The figure is bleak, as if it will be blown away by the breeze at any time.
......
In the living room, Makutsu strode in.
On the main seat, Baizhan is making tea, the tea smoke lingers, and the fragrance of tea enters the nose, just sitting there quietly, it makes people feel a kind of oppression.
There was no one else except for a hundred battles.
"Nephew, come here and do it!"
Hearing the sound of walking, Bai Zhan spoke, his voice was loud, like thunder, but it lacked that momentum, it was just an auditory shock.
The curtain took a deep breath, as if "the surface of the pool has no goggles and has not been polished", and then sat down, far away from a hundred battles.
"I wonder what the lord of the castle is looking for me?" said Makutsuki politely.
"Don't be so polite nephew!" Bai Zhan smiled, his beard squeezed and deformed.
The curtain is slandered, and every time I deal with the city lord, the first thing I say is don't be polite, don't be nervous or something.
"The little girl is taken care of by her nephew, thank you in advance. ”
"But ......"
Here, the main event is coming, and the curtain is full of blue waves, ready to withstand the coming storm.
"The relationship between the virtuous nephew and the little daughter, I hope to sort it out, she is my daughter, the daughter of the city lord of River City. It can't be someone else's little maid, do you understand?" The sound of a hundred battles sounded like thunder, and every sentence seemed to be slapping on the heart of the curtain tree.
Mu Yu complained, this change of face is fast, but at this moment, Mu Yu calmed down.
"I know, I've never treated her as a little maid, well! comrade-in-arms, you know? Instead, he said.
"So what? Outsiders don't care what your relationship is, I only know that the title is humiliating my daughter. ”
"You have to talk to Bairou about this matter, and it's not me who has the final say!"
"I know, I'll tell Rou'er. I chose a good husband for her, but I took the opportunity to run away from home. Bai Zhan's tone softened and sighed.
Really... Makutsu didn't know how to proceed anymore.
"I've been in cultivation, and I have neglected her a little, thinking that it was for her good, but I didn't expect her to have such a strong temperament. When I came back this time, since she didn't like it, then I withdrew from the marriage. Bai Zhan looked a little lonely.
Mu Yu was a little surprised, he still thought that Bai Zhan was the kind of person who said nothing and was domineering and extraordinary!
It's not natural at all!
"Virtuous nephew, what should be cultivated is "Hundred Battles"!" Bai Zhan said with an affirmative face.
After saying this to Baizhan, the curtain was immediately linked, they are all called Baizhan, does it matter?
Makutsu said suspiciously, "May I ask how the lord of the castle knows?"
"How can you see the outside like this, just call me Uncle Bai, not to mention that the virtuous nephew is talented and intelligent, and winning the first place in Badi City is not a high climb. Hearing Maku's words, Bai Zhan said with a dissatisfied face.
Makutsu couldn't guess what Bai Zhan thought in his heart, and sure enough, as a city lord, it was not simple.
"Then how does Uncle Bai know?" the curtain immediately beat the snake and put it on the stick.
""Hundred Battles" was created by me, and for beginners, the body will inadvertently exude blood and energy, layer by layer, outward, forming a stratus barrier. As it deepens, the blood is restrained and condenses under the epidermis. I see that your body is strong in blood and energy, and you have the potential of stratus clouds, so you should not be learning it for a long time. Baizhan nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
Makutsu nodded, there is indeed this one, but it was when it was running, it was more obvious, and it was usually so weak that he couldn't sense it.
However, "Hundred Battles" is a self-created one hundred battles, which made Makutsu a little surprised.
Makuzuki's first impression of Hyaksan was a little bad, but now it gradually changed through conversation.
