Chapter 3: The Stranger

Qin Jue and Xiao Ning sat opposite each other at the stone table, eating while talking about the interesting things they had discovered during their separation.

Chu Yanning listened to it most of the time, because this was something she liked.

No matter what comes out of Childe's mouth, she feels very interesting and happy to listen to.

After eating, Chu Yanning put away the dishes, and Qin Jue sat under the willow tree, enjoying a moment of tranquility. On weekdays, he was reluctant to waste any time in the Taoist Academy, either cultivating or checking various classics. Right now, Zhenyuan has just been running for a week, so I just sat there for a while.

"Childe, this winter, it's cold! Go back to the house and sit, don't catch a cold. ”

Qin Jue waved his hand, signaling that he would not get in the way, and he had reached the realm of biogenesis in his body, and this ordinary cold had little effect on him.

After Chu Yanning finished cleaning up the tableware and helped Qin Jue make the bed, the two of them chatted in the living room, and before they knew it, they went back to their rooms to rest when night fell.

The moon hangs high, and the night wind is desolate.

On a hill a few miles away from Mingxi Town, there was a huge open space, and dozens of armor soldiers were neatly arranged. The uniform standard of pitch-black armor, black helmet and visor, covering every part of the body. His left hand was pressed against the scabbard hanging from his waist, and even if he stood there motionless, his whole body exuded a strong sense of slaughter.

At the front of the array was an old man in a fifty-year-old suit with a white beard and a majestic face, and half a step behind him was a leading armorer.

"It's all arranged?" the old man asked, looking at Mingxi Town, which was sleeping in the quiet night under the mountain.

"Everything is arranged, once the big array is opened and the whole town is enveloped, this time there will definitely be no chance for the demons. The leader replied.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the old man in Chinese clothes nodded slightly, his eyes thoughtful. "The people of the Otherworldly Mountains will not easily appear in the Terran Realm, and every time they appear, there will inevitably be something earth-shattering that is enough to change the world, I don't know what it will bring this time?"

A kilometer away from the mountain, in a forest.

The figures of a man and a woman floated slightly up and down in mid-air. Underneath the two of them, each tapping his toes lightly on a thin branch.

The woman is dressed in white, looking like she is in her prime year, her face is beautiful and refined, and her posture is jade, under this moonlit night, she is like a fairy.

The man is about thirty years old, with a square face, a mediocre appearance, and an inconspicuous gray shirt and pants. From the appearance and temperament of the two, there is a great contrast.

"Senior Brother Fang, there is the Heavenly Dao Alliance, do we still want to interfere?" The female cultivator frowned slightly, and seemed to be quite displeased with the Heavenly Dao Alliance in her mouth.

"This ,,, let's wait and see the situation for the time being. The man said after a moment of deep thought. "Moreover, in my opinion, it must be more than our Sword Pavilion and Heavenly Dao Alliance who are here this time. The whereabouts of the other party have already been exposed, and I am afraid that there will be no fewer people who get the news. Before leaving, the master had already explained, this time you should take Senior Sister Ye out for a long time, and you still have to put your safety first. ”

"Thank you for your attention. Although the man is extremely inconspicuous, the woman who is called Senior Sister Ye has great respect for him. There is no transgression between words and demeanors.

"Senior sister is polite. ”

"Let's go! We entered the town early when it was dark, and waited in the town for the past few days. If you wait until they open the formation, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to go in again. ”

"Senior brother, wouldn't it be even worse if we were trapped in the formation. ”

"Well,,, they can't sleep. The man said casually. Although the Heavenly Dao Alliance is known for its formations, with these people tonight, it is impossible to trap him.

The woman in white hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then stretched out her figure to follow the figure in front of her. Although she didn't know how the cultivation of this senior brother known as the "East China Sea Sword Demon" was, she could reassure her master that it would be extraordinary when she thought about it.

Dawn is gradually approaching, and the forces hiding around Mingxi Town are also beginning to move.

"Your Majesty, you are sure that the Nabu operator is not wrong. In such an ordinary place, there are 'people outside the fate' who can crack the 'Dao Outside Pearl'. ”

Outside Tianyuan City, on the avenue, a middle-aged scribe wearing a scribe's hat and a long robe walked slowly. Behind him was a large man with a height of more than nine feet and a large build.

It was this strong man who asked the question. The strong man's voice was loud, and his voice was so loud that it frightened a lot of birds in the woods beside the road.

Hearing this, the middle-aged scribe stopped and looked back.

As soon as the strong man touched the cold gaze of the middle-aged scribe, he suddenly trembled. plopped down and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, I, I, did I say the wrong thing again, please punish your lord." ”

After a moment, the coldness in the middle-aged scribe's eyes dissipated, and he sighed. "Get up!"

The strong man stood up silently and stood with his head down.

"Jizo, this is the place of the Terrans, you always speak so loudly, and if you are not careful, your whereabouts have been exposed. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged scribe shook his head helplessly. In fact, he knew that even if there was no reason for Jizo, their whereabouts would not have escaped the eyes and ears of those people.

The middle-aged scribe stared into the distance with a solemn expression, as if he wanted to see something through the distant time and space.

"The divination operator can't make a mistake, he has never missed it, and he can't be wrong this time. The middle-aged scribe muttered, "Not only did he calculate that this trip would find someone who was not destined for me, but he also calculated that this trip would most likely be my final destination." ”

Jizo's expression was shocked, and his eyes were full of grief and indignation, but he didn't say anything after all. He knew that this was the king's decision, and no one could change it.

"Do you know why I took you with me this time?" the middle-aged scribe didn't wait for the other party to answer, and continued: "Can you save my clan from danger, just look at this battle, and you have to follow my orders no matter what, you understand?"

"Belong, Obey, Order!" The short answer seemed to be a thousand pounds of burden for Jizo.

The morning light tears through the night, dispelling the last darkness before dawn.

The people of Mingxi Town are the same as usual, but there are inexplicably more unfamiliar faces in the town.

These strangers are young and old, men and women, and come in all shapes and sizes. However, in the eyes of the townspeople, they all have one thing in common. That isβ€”high, big, up.

That's right, the townspeople used Qin Jie's words to describe these outsiders, that is, high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade.

These outsiders, all in gorgeous costumes, brocade clothes and jade belts, do not have the slightest fireworks in their gestures, showing extraordinary bearing.

Although the residents of the town feel strange, these people do not have any inappropriate behavior, and these people are generous in terms of accommodation and daily use, which has invisibly added a lot of income to the residents of the town. In this way, no one cares about where these people come from, as long as they don't do things, and they give money, and love whomever they love.

The white-bearded and white-haired old man also appeared on the streets of Mingxi Town. At this time, there was no black-armored monk behind him, but two middle-aged monks in Xuanjiao.

"The first seat, the people of Xingyue Valley are also here. A monk in a dark shirt reminded him.

The old man followed the gaze of the monk in the dark shirt, and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a long skirt and white hair across the street, and a young girl beside her.

The girl was dressed strangely, and in the cold winter now, she was wearing an apricot yellow short-sleeved over-the-knee dress. Two white lotus-like arms and a pair of fair, round, straight jade legs leaked out. Pedal a pair of gold silk embroidered boots, and the front end also leaks jade bean toes.

The middle-aged beauty seemed to have a sense, and raised her head to meet the old man's gaze.

The four looked at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of both parties.

After leaning around, the middle-aged beauty took the hand of the girl who was still looking around, and slowly left step by step.
