Chapter 165: Shu Cheng

"However, no matter how much I probed afterwards, I couldn't find any traces on his body." Ji Zijin said.

As the most powerful Ji Zijin present, he has already said this, which can only prove that either the strength of this person who banned Prime Minister Gui is far superior to Ji Zijin, or this kind of exercise is too weird and unpredictable.

In either case, it's not good news for everyone.

This means that the demon exercises obtained by Prime Minister Gui were not learned by chance, but by someone deliberately.

If you think about it, I'm afraid that it will be inextricably linked to the leakage of demonic energy in the Well of Gods and Demons this time.

A layer of unknown gloom hung over the hearts of everyone on the scene.

"We have to tell the division commanders in the door about this matter immediately, so that they can prepare early." Chen Xiao said with a solemn face.

"I'm afraid that this matter will fall on us in the end." Li Qiang muttered.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiao asked suspiciously.

Li Qiang shook his head.

There are some things that really don't fit well for others to know.

"Without further ado, let's leave first, and we'll see you in Shushan." Chen Xiao said with his fists clenched.

"Goodbye to Shushan." Qi Zhen also clenched his fists and arched his hands.

Chen Xiao nodded towards Ji Zijin and Kun Ling.

The two of them stepped on the flying sword and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

"I always have a bad premonition, it seems that we can't go on such a tour, let's hurry early." After Chen Xiao and the others left, Qi Zhen's face was solemn and she spoke slowly.

That's right, maybe as NPCs in the game, everything that happens in this world is just an accident, and they just act according to the rules of this world.

But for the rest of the squad, everything that happens in this world, and everything that is related to them, can be seen as a test set by the system for them to clear the game.

And they have to pay attention to the clues and information that each NPC brings to them, and then find the key to the game in these clues.

In Yuemeng Mountain, the person from the heavenly realm told Wu Tian that the Well of Gods and Demons was not very peaceful, let him pay attention, and by the Taihu Lake, Chen Xiao had already told the team about the leakage of demonic qi from the Well of Gods and Demons.

Now that the impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger, it seems that there is an invisible big hand slowly pushing the fermentation of this matter behind.

This strengthened Qi Zhen's determination to speed up to Shushan.

Without any further delay, Qi Zhen said to Ji Zijin and Kunling: "We also have to rush to the next stop as soon as possible, we can't stay here." ”

Ji Zijin and Kunling both nodded, and did not keep the group again.

"Before leaving, I still hope to invite Shi Qing and Shi Hong to come forward to meet, I have something to say to them." Qi Zhen looked serious.

"Oh?" Kun Ling didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called Shi Qing and Shi Hong here.

Qi Zhen looked at the two beautiful women with their own merits, and her face was solemn.

The two of them thought that something terrible had happened, and they looked at Qi Zhen's eyes a little uncertain.

Qi Zhen said slowly: "You can return the money when you saw the city gate?" ”

……

……

Walking on the way to Dabie Mountain, Jiang Yan and Meng Ran looked at Qi Zhen with a little strange eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, that's fifty taels of gold!" Qi Zhen really didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

There is no such loser.

"Who would have thought that you would say such a thing solemnly?" Jiang Yan said disdainfully.

"This is a big deal, shouldn't it be said solemnly? Let me tell you that if it weren't for Kunling's presence, I'd be really afraid that they would pay their bills. Qi Zhen said.

"You can pull it down, you didn't even notice that after you said this, the expressions of those two people were wonderful." Yu Liang interjected.

"If it weren't for people's politeness, I guess they would have called us, and you would be embarrassed." Jiang Yan rarely stood on Yu Liang's side.

"That's my money, why am I embarrassed? Is he polite? If I'm polite, I'll have to throw down ten more jars of wine? Qi Zhen said that there was some energy here.

"You two, one is greedy for wine and the other is greedy for silver, don't say anything about anyone." Meng Ran said on the side.

"Speaking of which, I actually like Kunling, a monster, although it's a bit arrogant, but it's really good." Yu Liang said.

"Don't forget, Kun Ling's strength is the strongest, but the time of spiritual enlightenment is not necessarily earlier than that of Prime Minister Guicheng, which can only show that Kun Ling himself is a person who is dedicated to goodness, and there is another reason that cannot be ignored is that the relationship between the two of them is so harmonious, I am afraid that Ji Zijin's effort on Kun Ling is the greatest."

"In the final analysis, it's still Ji Zijin, an immortal, which is really good." Qi Zhen can be regarded as a final conclusion about Ji Zijin and Kun Ling's coffin.

After experiencing the incident of Chaohu, Qi Zhen's level increased again, reaching level 27, and Meng Ran was the same.

It's just that the levels of Li Qiang, Yu Liang and Jiang Yan have not changed.

According to the original arrangement of the team, after passing through Chaohu Lake, they should go all the way northwest into Luzhou, and then go west after a short rest in Luzhou.

However, now that they had a new objective, the team could no longer follow the original plan.

Qi Zhen troubled Ji Zijin to help, and sent the team to the west bank of Chaohu Lake, from where they wanted to turn southwest and advance into Dabie Mountain.

This distance is about the same as the distance from Wuhu to Chaohu Lake, and it is only a hundred miles when it is full.

According to Kunling's introduction, when they traveled about 50 miles to the west, they would arrive at Shucheng, the last stop of the small county inhabited by humans before entering Dabie.

It's a pity that the carriage was left behind by them in Chaohu, and now I am afraid that I don't know who took it away.

As the saying goes, the sun and the moon are not known in the mountains.

The sun and moon here refer to a relatively long unit of time, a day, or a month.

This feeling is even more obvious in the country of Juchao, where the sun and the moon are the sun and the moon.

Below Chaohu Lake, neither the sun nor the moon can be seen.

So before I knew it, it turned out that the squad had spent almost three days underwater.

And the reason why everyone was not drowned in the water was naturally Kunling's handiwork.

When I first came out of Chaohu Lake, I felt the wind blowing around, looked at the scenery on the surrounding land, and most importantly, the sun hanging in the sky.

Everyone has a sense of being separated from the world.

Strictly speaking, walking is much faster than riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

So in less than half a day, everyone has come to the next stop of this trip, Shucheng.

The moment when you really need to start facing danger is after entering Dabie Mountain, but with the consistent thinking mode of the system, danger often lurks in the last seemingly safe place, or even a safer place.

Yixing is to Liyang, Liyang is to Wuhu, crape myrtle cave is to Chaohu, and even Suzhou is to Yuemengshan.

No one stumbles over a stone over and over again.

Therefore, when entering Shucheng, the five members of the team had already raised their guard in their hearts.

Vigilance is not only a test for the demons and monsters that can happen everywhere, but also for the people here.

It was hard for everyone in the team to imagine that Shucheng was such a place.

This place is less than 100 miles away from Chaohu Lake, and it is also leaning on Dabie Mountain, so it stands to reason that the place near the mountains and rivers will not be like what everyone sees......

Poor.

Yes, this place gives everyone in Qi Zhen's team the feeling of poverty.

Not to mention that most of the locals are dressed in tatters and the houses are in disrepair, but the main road that best reflects the style of a place also looks so rugged and potholed.

The people here rarely seem to see people from other places, so the eyes that looked at Qi Zhen and the others were a little curious.

In addition to curiosity and surprise, there are more people who look at their expressions, all expressionless.

Mixed with indifference, coldness, and a lot of expressionlessness of similar feelings.

That's what the team is wary of right now.

What kind of place is the most prosperous in a poor place?

Temple.

Not surprisingly, a few people found that there were several temples in the city that worshiped various gods, which seemed to be the only thought of these ignorant locals who hoped for a better life.

This also leads to the extremely strong smell of incense here, and the burning fragrance emitted from countless temples actually gives this place a layer of solemnity.

The team was naturally curious about the situation here, but none of them had the idea of solving the poverty situation here.

They came here to solve the ghost king, not to improve people's livelihood.

After resting here for the night, they will rush to the mountains to find the ghost king.

When they came to the only inn in this place, the crowd didn't say much, paid the money to the guy, and stayed.

As long as you stay in the inn, something will inevitably happen, and this has almost become a curse that the team can't escape.

Maybe that's the bad fun of the system's design plot.

Everyone wanted to rest early and leave the place early the next day.

Not surprisingly, things came to the door again.

It's just that what happened this time made everyone in the team a little unexpected.

They've run into a black shop.

In a normal human settlement, would there be a black shop?

Are all the old men in the government asleep?

During the meal, Yu Liang asked his own question very suspiciously: "Why is this dish a little bitter and a little astringent?" ”

Or normal people can't feel this subtle difference.

But with the physical fitness of a few people in the team, how could it not be discovered?

The taste is not normal, so naturally someone has drugged it.

And under Qi Zhen's confirmation, this medicine should not have any impact on the bodies of the current team.

So everyone should not know, they should eat and drink.

Xiao Er's inadvertent expression of successful tricks, how could he escape Qi Zhen's investigation?

The five people pretended to be drugged and lay on the table, waiting for each other's next move.
