Chapter 22: The Old Woman in Red

The water in the pool was a little cold, and there was no sound outside the door for a long time, and Jing Yuan hugged his arms for a long time to "admire" Wuge's back.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

The man's footsteps were very soft, and he walked to the edge of the pool, and his voice was gloomy: "I want you to help me kill the national teacher." ”

He was saying "yes", which was an order, not a consultation.

Wuge's heart turned a thousand times, isn't the Jing family a henchman of the national teacher?

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I don't have the power to do what you want. ”

Things have become confusing, she doesn't want to get involved in this quagmire, and protecting herself is the best policy.

"Hmph. Jing Yuan sneered, "This can't help you, if you don't kill him, someone will kill you." With that, he walked slowly towards the door.

His tone was creepy, and Wuge suddenly turned around and stared at Jing Yuan's back: "What do you mean?"

The woman in the pool was flushed, her bewitching figure was not in the water, her long hair was like a waterfall, and a little cinnabar between her forehead called her eyebrows bewitching, but the pair of beautiful eyes that suddenly opened revealed her horror.

"If you are alive tonight, come to me at the secret door. Leaving a word, Jing Yuan disappeared at the door.

——————

After Jing Yuan left, the maids outside the door rushed in.

Wuge's mind was a mess, and no matter how much she tried to peel off the cocoon, she couldn't find a clue.

After a while, a maid held a bronze mirror: "The posture of the saint is the glory of my Crowned Moon Country." ”

Wu Ge glanced up, the woman in the mirror had red lips, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like stars, her black hair was made into a flowing cloud bun, and a draped silver gauze outlined her delicate figure, with chic jewelry, the beauty was thrilling.

However, she was not happy, and her brows were deeper.

How is she going to behave like this?

The maids led Wuge out, pushed the door open, and there were more than a dozen or twenty people standing at the door, startling Wuge.

When did these people come, why didn't she hear any movement.

"The saint is really the chosen one, and she is like a shock. Jing Huan stood in front of everyone with a silver mask and made a "please" gesture.

Wuge walked with him with a gloomy face, and she noticed that the masks of the group were different, some were rough outlined, some were exquisitely made.

"Where is the guard who arrested me today?" The most important thing at the moment is to ensure the safety of Mo Xingran and the others first.

"But the saint will be held accountable, and I will now order someone to bring him up. Jing Huan replied, his tone a little stiff.

For some reason, Wuge suddenly felt very uneasy, was Mo Xingran exposed?

"Where are my companions, where are the boy and the woman?"

"I was about to take you there, and I placed them in the Nanyu Pavilion to rest. Jing Huan paused for a moment, and then added: "The national teacher is busy, and he can lead you to meet tomorrow." ”

Wuge suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and she turned around sharply to look at the group of people who were following behind her.

These people have different thoughts under their masks, and now she is in the middle of the whirlpool, if it is really as Jing Yuan said, she is worried about her life at any time today, among these people, someone must be ready to take her head at any time!

Feeling uneasy, I turned a few holes, and there were torches along the rock walls along the way.

Wuge hesitated for a moment and boldly asked, "Is the Mianyue Kingdom an underground country?"

There are no surprises in the Linglong Array, and it is not uncommon to have an underground kingdom in the barren desert, but I don't know if these people know about the existence of the outer continent, how can they get out of this array?

Unexpectedly, Jing Huan smiled and replied: "Of course not, this is the quicksand market, it is the gateway to the Mianyue Kingdom, and the owner of the market has someone else, and the Jing family is just stationed in the market instead of the Mianyue Country and performs the duties of jurisdiction." The Crowning Moon Country is the largest country in the Quicksand Universe, located in the middle of a desert oasis, as you will know the day after tomorrow. There is pride in the words.

Listening to his tone, it seemed that they didn't know they were in the formation, which was even more strange.

I saw a wooden gate in front of me, ten zhang wide, carved flowers on the door, and even made a wooden eaves, and hung two glass lamps under the eaves.

Being able to build such a huge and complicated "bazaar" and exquisite pavilions in the rock formations under the yellow sand is very human, it can be seen that the national strength of the Mianyue country is extraordinary.

Wu Ge thought of the record in the Phi Ya Stone Book, among the Smoke Driving Clan, there are those who can dominate tens of thousands of "Smoke Masters", do all the people of this Crowned Moon Country have this ability?

The clouds of suspicion are thick, and there is no song with a sad face.

"By the way, I need someone to protect my safety, can you transfer the person who arrested me today to me?" is also a helpless move, she repeatedly mentioned "arrest her person", which will definitely make Jing Huan suspicious, but she is always more at ease when Mo Xing is by her side, and now she is a "saint" and I don't know how long she can shelter.

"That's what I mean, Holy Maiden, you go first to Nanyu Pavilion to rest, and I will send someone to transfer him. ”

Jing Huan was so refreshing, it made Wuge scratch his head, but he finally achieved his goal, and Wuge entered the Nanyu Pavilion with kindness.

——————

In the depths of the quicksand market, at the end of a road, in a dark house, an old woman dressed in red lit a glass lamp.

The humble room was lit by the faint light of a glass lamp, and only a wooden table and a wooden bed were placed in the room.

The old woman walked to the table with the lamp, placed it on the table, took out a strange vial from her bosom, pulled out the cap, and a wisp of red smoke slowly came out, and then she recited a long incantation, and the red smoke gathered and turned into a graceful woman wearing a red veil.

The woman's face was covered with a red scarf, and her beautiful eyes were shining, it was the woman in red who brought Wu Ge and the others from the desert that day.

"Red Mandarin, can you ask clearly?" The old woman's voice was not hoarse, but revealed a supreme coercion.

The folds on the old woman's face looked furrowed under the lamp, and she also wore a blood-red dress, which was gorgeous on the woman in red, but it looked particularly mad on the old woman.

"Yes, master, Ding Ba has told me their origins, and they have indeed come from the other side of the canyon. I also clearly conveyed it to the Jing family that day. The red duck replied, she lowered her head, and in front of the old woman, she did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.

"But others told me that there were more than four of them in their group, but there were eight of them in the corpse west village. There was inexplicable excitement in his voice.

The "smoke master" sent by the old woman to investigate the canyon reported that only four of the eight people who appeared out of thin air passed through the canyon and came to the desert, what about the rest?

The red duck was a little surprised when he heard this: "Master, are you saying that there are still four people who are missing?"

The old woman was noncommittal.

That's right, how long has it been since there have been outsiders in the Quicksand Universe? It's been millions of years, and it seems that this time it's really coming.

It's just that that person can't tolerate these outsiders...

Her rickety figure trembled with excitement, and her expression was a little worried: "Red Mandarin Duck, I want you to swear to save their lives, especially that child!"

"As far as I know, that person is now under the control of the Jing family, and he has been selected as the first saintess in the Crowning Moon Kingdom in a hundred years, do I want to rescue them?"

"No, right now, the most dangerous place is the safest, and only under the care of the Jing family can they most likely leave the market and go to that person. Besides, if this tribulation can't be resolved, they don't have the ability to save you and me. The old woman shook her head, as if she remembered something again: "I can't leave this underground, but they are out of the quicksand market, you have to follow them every step of the way!"

"I swear to protect them to the death and fulfill the master's wish!"

The old woman nodded, lowered her eyes and recited a few incantations, and the woman in red suddenly turned into smoke and entered the bottle again.
