195. Crush 1: Prelude (Grand Chapter)
In the dark, Xia Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
The life and death in Ning Mengzhen's body disappeared!
Search around.
I let go of the senses, but I didn't notice anything.
"A big living man disappeared from the palace?" the regent frowned.
The next morning the morning of the morning ended.
The silver-haired old woman who was with Ning Mengzhen on weekdays was also searching for Ning Mengzhen everywhere.
Xia Ji really paid attention to it.
This old woman's identity is a national teacher, and her strength is the best among Tianyuan, and she is one step away from Tongxuan.
When Ning Mengzhen disappeared last night, she also slept in the palace.
A Tian Yuan didn't find out that the girl he lived in the same room was missing, which is a bit of a big problem.
Xia Ji directly found this old woman and asked, "Ning Meng really disappeared at midnight last night, did you find anything?"
The old woman couldn't believe it: "At midnight, I didn't notice any movement... Xiao Ning couldn't have disappeared at that time. β
"Think about it again, is there anything unusual?" Xia Ji said.
The silver-haired old woman groaned, revealing a look of memory, and then shook her head: "Xiao Ning saw that you were not close to her these days, so she was a little unhappy, yesterday was the same as usual, and she slept early... I only found out she was gone this morning. β
"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
The old woman thought for a while and said, "If you are in a bad mood, you eat a lot, and then you find that the meat grows and it is even more uncomfortable, does it count?"
Xia Ji: ......
Forthwith.
The regent directly summoned the head of the Shenzhu Hall of the Wei State in the capital, "Mr. Worry-free" Ram Xiaohua.
If the Holy Gate is the strongest sect in the Wei Kingdom, then this is the dog king with the keenest sense of smell under the former King of Wei.
He has four major divine catches under his command, six prefectures and three states have holy churches, and there are divine hunting halls.
Shenzhutang assists the government in handling cases.
The Divine Arrest Hall investigates the case.
The government takes people.
The four gods are very capable, and they are all young and handsome, so King Wei once laughed and said, "You have such a command, you should sit back and relax."
That's why the rivers and lakes call this "Mr. Worry-free".
But even so, Mr. Sanssouci has great respect for the regent.
for he knew that the regent had come to the throne.
Why?
Although the Holy Gate of Blue Sky Mountain was hidden, he could also know that the regent had destroyed the Shadow School Palace's palace master, Twilight Mountain Shadow.
And then, this prince appeared in the capital of King Yan again, sat on the throne of a different king, and directly ordered King Yan to release the prisoners of war.
And, the fall of the Yan Kingdom Shadow School Palace, and the death of the ancestor Yu Shanquan, although I don't know if it was the regent alone, but it is also inseparable.
In addition, on that day, the sky appeared in the nine dragons, and the black sky had a double vision.
If none of this is a mystery, then what is a mystery?
Mr. Wuwu is only Tianyuan, and he naturally has no shelf for this Tongxuan, who is very likely to be the only one in the Great Wei who guards the country and is so young.
"I've seen the Regent. β
The ram Xiaohua is slightly chubby, but it is very elegant, a few long whiskers look a little outdoor high-spirited, and his hands are hidden in the long sleeves, looking like an idle rich man.
But if you really think of him as a rich man, it would be stupid.
Because, the kung fu of the four gods was taught by him!
The four rookies in the world of celebrity all admitted that they were by no means opponents of the teacher.
So, the ram florets, respectable, but also terrible.
Xia Ji pointed to the opposite side of the stone table and motioned to sit.
Then he said directly: "At noon last night, a woman suddenly disappeared in my West Palace, and I couldn't look for it everywhere, so I came to listen to Mr. Wuwu's opinion." β
The middle-aged man didn't even dare to say it, and then said: "The prince calls me a little ram..."
Xia Ji: ...
Then, the ram Xiaohua asked, "Is it that Miss Xiao or Miss Ning that the prince is talking about?"
Xia Ji said: "It's Xiao Ning." β
Mr. Sanssouci muttered, "Let me come back in three hours." β
Xia Ji knew that the person in front of him wanted to mobilize various networks and eyeliners to inquire.
After all, it was the first time he was looking for this Mr. Sanssoucian, and he would naturally sell enough strength to prove his worth.
So, the regent said, "There is Mr. Lao Ram." β
Mr. Sanssouci got up, bowed, and slowly stepped back.
Snowflakes are falling.
Xia Ji sat under the green tile glass and poured a pot of hot tea.
I took a sip and put it down.
He got up and came to the palace where Xiao Ning was.
Nothing was moving inside.
The quilt was lifted naturally, without any traces of a fight, and there was no weird atmosphere.
It was as if Ning Mengzhen had left by himself.
The boy in the python robe fell into deep thought.
This is missing right under my nose.
It's a bit frustrating.
If it is Xiao Yuanwu, it is just that, this third lady of the Xiao family has long known that it is not simple, and disappearing is commonplace...
But this one is really a little worrying.
Thinking of this, Xia Ji turned back to Huaqing Palace and stood in front of the door.
There was no breath inside the door, and it was obvious that Miss Xiao had gone out again.
The regent groaned slightly, and pushed the door straight in.
In a flash, the figure crossed the entire courtyard and entered the temple.
The hall is neat, the faint smell of incense in the jade pagoda is still lingering, making people feel refreshed and happy, and there is a page of letters on the dark purple and gold painted coffee table.
Xia Ji approached and looked at the case.
The letter is just one line: They are starting to act, I will go to Fengyang Mansion.
Xia Ji's eyes were fixed on the word "it", and his brows jumped.
An eerie atmosphere rises in the palace that seems to be singing and dancing.
"This time, when Miss Xiao comes back, I want to have a good talk with her. Since she looks like I'm an ally and my fiancΓ©e, it's always right to confess, right?"
Xia Ji picked up the letter casually, softened into a ball, and shattered into crumbs in his palm.
Three hours passed quickly.
Mr. Sanssouci returns.
The devil knows how many eyeliners he has passed in three hours, and how many relationships he has gone.
At this time, a trajectory was directly outlined.
He took out a map from his sleeve, spread it out on the long table, and then pointed to the location of the royal capital with two fingers, and said indifferently: "Lord Wang, please look, this is where the capital of my Great Wei Kingdom is located..."
Fingers moved, west, and then southwest, across Lotte, around the Blue Sky Mountain, and directly pointed to the Tianya Mansion, which is known as a country within a country.
According to the old man's understanding, Miss Ning's characteristics are very obvious, and she is dressed in red.
And wearing red, the only one with an abnormal haunting trajectory is this line...
Someone saw a woman in red at the mouth of this pine bird in the early hours of this morning, passing by like a ghost.
And an hour later, someone saw the woman in red by the Qingfeng River again.
It is important to know that the distance between these two places is a thousand miles.
And then..."
Mr. Sanssouci said as he used his pen to outline circles on the map, so that the whole trajectory was clear at a glance.
After all, there is no impermeable wall in this world, there are always countless pairs of eyes staring at you, and you will see some clues.
And this ram flower is the spider in the center of Dawei's information network.
At this point, he proved his worth.
Xia Ji looked at the direction that the trajectory was pointing into, and that direction was directly facing a mountain, so he asked, "What kind of mountain is this?"
"This mountain is called Wangxiang, there is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding villagers are called Xue Niangniang Temple.
My northern border is mountainous, and in the winter there is a lot of snow, and avalanches and flash floods are a frequent occurrence, and they are disasters everywhere, and many people die every year. β
Xia Ji thinks that this is indeed the case, every day in the court, people die here because of avalanches, and there because the mountain flood road is washed away and funds need to be allocated... That's a lot of things.
Ram Xiaohua continued: "The people of Tianya Mansion go to the Snow Niangniang Temple in Wangxiang Mountain all year round to worship, and they firmly believe that this will bring peace to their winter.
And..."
The middle-aged man paused: "And in fact, it does work, so the incense in the temple of Wangxiang Mountain is very prosperous, whether it is business, or needs to travel far away, or pray for blessings and wishes, they will run over to burn incense."
The prince has every opportunity, and the matter will be investigated by the ram, and he will give the prince an explanation within seven days. β
The head of the Divine Hunting Realm is very confident.
Xia Ji thought for a while and said, "You go and prepare, and after an hour, we will set off directly." β
Mr. Sanssouci was stunned, and saw that it was already dark, but he still didn't speak, just nodded and said, "Yes." β
After separating from the leader of the Divine Capture Hall, Xia Ji came directly to his study, took out a puppet snail hidden in the secret, and then quickly wrote a note on the desk: immediately know the information of Wangxiang Mountain in Wei Kingdom, and guarantee that one person who enters the secret realm can get the ancient emperor's coins for free.
The front is the demand, and the back is the cost.
This price is equivalent to a free first charge.
The note is stuffed into the snail's mouth.
Soon passed out.
Da Da...
Xia Ji tapped his fingers on the table, waiting quietly.
After two pillars of incense, the snail's eyes lit up, and then he spat out a note.
Xia Ji felt that it was amazing, and he couldn't wait to break open the snail's mouth to take a look.
There is no Internet in this world, how is this transmitted?
Doubts aside, he pulled out the note.
The handwriting on the note is beautiful, and the entire note is densely written.
Xia Ji looked at it word by word.
At the end, he closed his eyes and pondered.
The people on the side of the Giant Ink Palace are not stupid, and they naturally know that the information they need is not that kind of big road goods, but the secret in the secret, at least the secret that is worthy of the first charge of the Seventh Ancient Secret Realm.
"Large-scale constant dragon qi gathers together, and over time it becomes a dragon.
Outside the borders of each country, there will be at least three dragons guarding them.
As long as these three dragons break one, they can directly invade the capital of this country and slaughter the luck of a country.
What followed was the complete disappearance of fortune and the land becoming a wasteland.
Not...
And this Snow Niangniang Temple was born before the appearance of the Wei Kingdom, and it is also one of the three dragons, the dragon qi condensed, among which the Snow Niangniang is suspected to really exist. β
Xia Ji pondered in the dark, trying to make sense of the information using his familiar experience.
"Before, at the Great Golden Light Temple... It seems to be the same.
That Jinguang Temple is the source of the dragon qi that fixes the party.
After being sacrificed, the dragon qi became a nightmare, and the nightmare qi raised a curse, which was destroyed by the Red Yama and devoured by me... Unexpectedly, a book of heaven and earth appeared, which taught me the life and death of a god.
So...
This Snow Niangniang Temple and Jinguang Temple should be similar.
It's just that the former is a bit larger, and there are more possible variables.
The Great Golden Light Temple is just shrouded in the dragon energy around the Red Lotus Mountain, and the Buddha statues enshrined can have spirits.
This is the Xue Niangniang Temple, which belongs to one-third of the dragon qi of the entire Great Wei, and is naturally more powerful, which is easy to understand.
Can...
What does all this have to do with Xiao Ning?
If she was forced to leave, she would definitely cry bitterly with her character, and even come to say goodbye to me.
Back then, she was poisoned by the eldest lady of the Lu family, and that's how she came to me to cry.
But not this time.
What does that mean?!
That illustrates... She was snatched right under my nose!"
The Regent narrowed his eyes, his expression quiet and cold.
Touched his fist.
This new bone is itchy.
A moment later.
Mr. Sanssouci has already arranged two horses.
Xia Jiqi said: "What are you doing with the horse?"
We're not the emperors...
Mr. Worry-Free said: "Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and it will be a waste of energy to use strength to rush after all... This thousand-mile horse is a good horse imported from outside the West, and it travels two thousand miles a day at a very fast speed...
Not only that, but this horse can go on without sleep, travel for three days in a row, and die directly after three days, but within these three days, it can directly gallop six thousand miles. β
Xia Ji looked at the two horses, and the two horses were also looking at him.
The regent grabbed the back of the ram Xiaohua and said lightly: "Luck Xuanqi protects yourself." β
"What?"
Mr. Sanssouci didn't react.
The next moment.
Sou!!
A ray of light and shadow flew out.
(Two horses: MMP, what are you doing if you don't ride us and pull us out?)
Xia Ji can be said to be slowly speeding up, so that this worry-free Mr. can adapt.
"Ahhhh
Half a column of incense after the time.
The two appeared at the foot of Wangxiang Mountain.
The ram Xiaohua stood still, fell to the ground with a bang, and vomited wildly on the ground.
If Xia Ji hadn't taken into account the bearing ability of this god catcher, I am afraid that it would have been faster.
Standing quietly in the snow, watching this Tian Yuan vomit repeatedly.
Xia Ji began to look around.
This should be the direction the map is pointing.
The mountains in the distance undulated like dragons, shrouded in a misty snow, looking mysterious.
You can't see the Snow Lady temple here, not even the town.
In the midst of the four wildernesses, there is a vast expanse, and this is the wilderness.
"Whew, Whew!" Ram Xiaohua took a deep breath, and finally calmed down the subversive and turbulent internal organs.
Rise.
"I have heard for a long time that the Holy Gate is close to the end of the world, shrinking the ground into inches and hundreds of miles at a time, and when I see it today, it is really powerful. β
Ram Xiaohua looked up at the mountain, and made a slight identification: "Lord Wang, if the old man is not mistaken, we only need to go about thirty miles to the east, we can enter Guling Town, this town is a place where pilgrims gather, and it is also the entrance to the main peak of Wangxiang Mountain. β
Xia Ji nodded, it was really convenient to bring a person who controlled the Great Wei Information Network.
So, he stretched out his hand again to grab the back of the ram flower.
Mr. Sanssouci jumped away in fright.
Just kidding, he didn't want to do it again.
"The prince is one step ahead, I... I'm also Tianyuan, thirty miles away, I have a stick of incense..."
Xia Ji looked at him faintly.
"No! only half a pillar of incense, half a pillar of incense time, the old man will arrive!"
Xia Ji didn't force him, he stepped out, and he arrived at the Guling Town of the Thirty Mile Temple, sitting on a blood-red boundary card, and letting go of the induction, a radius of several miles, if there was any wind and grass, he couldn't escape his induction.
But this method of finding a needle in a haystack is naturally ineffective.
It didn't take long.
In the heavy snow in the distance, Mr. Sanssouci's clothes were fluttering, and his hands were like an immortal out of the dust, looking at the python-robed young man sitting on the boundary card, he couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Regent, it's too much.
This speed is also one of the best in Tongxuan, right?
Entering Guling Town, Xia Ji added a cloak to the python robe, then found an old-fashioned teahouse, ordered a pot of local fruit tea, and sat by the window, observing the street.
The ram floret went quickly.
In winter, the restaurant and teahouse are always overcrowded, and it is late at this time, and gradually the place is lively.
Teng Teng Teng...
There was the sound of running footsteps at the top of the staircase.
A handsome girl in gorgeous clothes soon appeared at the entrance, and Miaomu looked around, and her eyes lit up when she saw the young man sitting alone in front of the window.
Then he hurriedly ran over, sat down opposite Xia Ji, and raised his eyes to look at the young man from the front.
Although his appearance is not handsome, he has a unique temperament.
Deep, high, comfortable...
The girl muttered: "This brother, there is no place around, share a table." β
Xia Ji nodded disappretently.
The girl said again: "Brother Tai is here to pray for blessings, or is he here to repay his wishes?"
Xia Ji said casually: "Pray." β
The girl continued: "According to the past practice, this ice and snow needs to stop in this half a month, and my eldest sister is in business, so I specially want to burn a stick of incense." β
The two chatted for a while.
The girl heard someone outside the building shouting, "Miss, Miss!"
She hurriedly lowered her head, but when she looked at the sky, she felt that it was time to go back, so she got up and answered with her probe out: "Just come." β
Then he turned around and said, "My name is Anya, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"
"Why do you have to know each other when you meet..."
The girl named Anya showed disappointment: "That brother will come to this teahouse tomorrow..."
Before he could reply, the downstairs began to rush again.
Anya didn't wait for an answer, and hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "My brother and I hit it off at first sight, and there is a hidden thing to tell you, please don't divulge it." β
Xia Ji was shocked.
We chatted for a while.
Why did you hit it off at first sight?
Anya whispered, "After midnight, don't walk on the streets, don't!!"
With that, she turned and went downstairs.
At this time, the ram Xiaohua, who had finished inquiring about the news, happened to come up from the staircase.
