Chapter 72—Knowing the Wind and Rain (4)

After putting out the lotus lanterns, everyone walked towards the inn in the town, and Wu Xi said goodbye at this time.

"Senior, it's getting late, why don't you rest for a night and set off tomorrow?" Nan Rongpu looked at the seniors in front of him in confusion and enthusiastically retained.

"I have important things to do on this trip...... Wu Xi pondered for a moment, and said frankly, "Penglai Lake is near Jincheng, but I have searched the surrounding area recently, and I have not found any rivers and lakes other than Xiujiang, which is very strange......"

"Penglai Lake?" Yun Lingxiu was puzzled, "Penglai Lake is located at the junction of the Xuan Ling and the Dream Relic, and it is not here. This is already the territory of Qilian, located in the southeast ......"

"In the west......" Wu Xi muttered, his expression complicated and his thoughts on his mind. When he heard this, he casually said a few polite words and left.

"Senior...... Bai Yu'er looked at the back of the black-robed robe, and sighed softly, "It looks so lonely......"

"But it......'s very strange," Nan Rongpu Chu frowned, "Penglai Lake is in the Cangyin Continent... It can be regarded as a famous site, how can the predecessors of the Vulture not even know its location? ”

Yun Lingxiu also watched the figure disappear into the corner of the street, his eyes darkened for a moment, and his afterglow swept to Chu Mo's obviously faded face, and he didn't say a word.

"Huh...... Chu Mo, this is already the territory of Qi Curtain, you can go home and have a look......" Nan Rongpu Chu looked at Chu Mo excitedly and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yun Lingxiu immediately turned his head to look at Chu Mo.

But the girl in the aqua blue dress had no expression on her face and a hollow expression, as if she was at a loss for a moment.

Yun Lingxiu's heart ached, and just as he wanted to go towards Chu Mo, he heard her say lightly, "Let's go back to the inn first." ”

……

Curtains border. Spiritual City.

Lingcheng was originally a remote town on the edge of Qilian, but it has developed rapidly because Chu Yu, the head of the Chu family, has settled here all the year round in recent years, and it has become a prosperous small city. The number of residents in the city has increased dramatically, and the number of people seeking immortals has increased.

The Chu Mansion established by Chu Yu here is located in the center of the small city.

At this time, the people in the house were panicking, and they were reporting to the head of the family, Chu Yu, about the strange things that had happened in the small city recently.

"Head of the house!" The young disciple who reported the news was dressed in the Chu clan uniform, knelt on the ground respectfully, and reported to the middle-aged man on the main seat, "Recently, I have frequently received requests for help from the people in the city, and most of the cemeteries on the edge of the Lingcheng City have been excavated and stolen, the corpses have disappeared out of thin air, and the funeral supplies have been taken away, I don't know if it is for stealing money or other ......."

"What do these excavated graves have in common?" The man on the throne raised his head slightly, revealing an extremely thin face. The expression on that face was solemn, and although he was close to his age, his complexion was still fair and delicate.

The handsomeness of his youth can be seen.

"The exhumed graves are all newly buried coffins......"

Chu Yu squinted his long slanted eyes, knocked the tea lid twice, put it on the table at hand, and groaned, "Thorough investigation!"

"Yes!" The disciple took the order and left, but another disciple hurried from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yu frowned slightly, his tone was gentle, and his every move showed elegance and gentleness, and it was not difficult to see where Chu Ziyi and Chu Mo's temperament cultivation came from.

"The head of the house! The eldest lady is here......" The disciple stood with his head bowed and arched his hand.

"Mo'er?" Hearing this, Chu Yu stood up suddenly, and hurriedly walked towards the door with a slight gaffe, halfway through, he suddenly paused again, and asked the disciple, "Have you entered the city?" “

Chu Yu's face was full of joy and anger.

Seeing this, the disciple was slightly stunned, and his originally excited expression of joy was not accepted or released for a while, so he had to raise his eyebrows and say, "It's still ......outside the city."

"Good!" Chu Yu raised a loving smile, and the pampering in his tone was undisguised, "Tell me to go down and clean the room." In addition, I personally sent disciples to greet ......"

"Yes!" The doubts in the disciple's heart vanished in this command, and he sighed in his heart, "She is worthy of being the most favored daughter of the head of the family, and the head of the family must be very happy", so he happily went out to make arrangements, not noticing the instantly gloomy eyes of the head of the family behind him.

Chu Yu stood in the courtyard, looked up at the sky, his eyes changed, and finally sighed and walked towards the backyard.

The sky, which had been cloudless and clear and crisp, instantly surged with clouds and piled up next to the radiant sun, hiding it behind the clouds.

The sky was overcast.

It seems that the storm is coming.

……

"Strange! It was still sunny just now, but it was overcast. Nan Rong Puchu walked in the direction instructed by Ember Bead, while looking at the clouds stacked in an instant on the horizon, and said strangely.

"What's so strange about that!" Bai Yu'er raised her eyebrows, "The climate in the southeast is already changeable...", and then pointed to the city not far away, and said happily, "Look... It's almost there..."

……

The gate of Lingcheng.

"That's it...... this is it," Nan Rong Puchu pointed to the Ember Bead floating in mid-air, "Look at the point of the Ember Bead, the formation needed for this seal is in this city!" ”

"Wow!" Bai Yu'er pointed to the tall and majestic city gate in front of her and exclaimed, "This city gate is too high!" ”

"I didn't expect that such a high gate would need to be built in this small city......," Ning Pheasant was also amazed.

The city gate is two long high, stands majestically under the tall city wall, the city gate is carved with the word "Lingcheng" in stone, a black dragon rises in the air next to the word, treads the waves and plays, it seems to be the relief of the Chu family's divine beast - the dragon.

On the city wall, two steps and one sentry, stood a disciple dressed in the Chu family uniform.

"Chongyong hundred pheasants, like a hero." Nan Rong Puchu looked at the city gate in front of him and said with a smile, "This city gate is comparable to the city gate of my Nanrong Imperial City, it is a defensive state." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Mo and praised sincerely, "I didn't expect that the defensive buildings in the border towns within the boundaries of the Chu family's land have come here, which is really admirable......"

"Lingcheng is more special...... Chu Mo looked at this situation, lowered his long eyelashes, and said lightly, "My father has settled here all year round......

"The head of the Chu family is not in the clan all year round?" Nan Rongpuchu's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "I thought it was just a rumor......

"Yes......" Chu Mo raised his eyes and looked at the city wall in front of him that was solid once the city gate was closed, and frowned. People came and went in the city, and she was in a trance for a moment, and said lightly, "I ...... I haven't seen my father for more than a year......

She couldn't hear any emotion in her tone, but Yun Lingxiu still heard a faint sadness in it, and her heart was stagnant at the moment, and she immediately diverted the topic, "Let's go." ”

The six of them walked towards the city, but the red glow and the suspended ember bead dimmed and lost its reaction after entering the city, and fell back to its master.

"What's going on?" Nan Rong Puchu caught the ember bead that lost its red glow in an instant, and his face was dazed, "Did you make a mistake?" He walked out of the city gate with the bead in his hand, and the ember bead suddenly became red, suspended in the air, and swirled towards the city gate.

Nan Rong Puchu followed the direction of Ember Zhu and walked into the city gate.

As soon as the ember bead entered the city gate, it instantly dimmed and fell back into the hands of Nan Rong Puchu.

Nan Rong Puchu went back and forth at the gate of Lingcheng, in and out of the place, and repeated this several times, but nothing changed. Everyone is also very puzzled.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for Ember Bead to point in the wrong direction, but as soon as he enters the Spirit City, he does not react, which is really puzzling. Yun Lingxiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Nan Rong Puchu, and said with a smile, "Brother Puchu, this time, it's up to you......"

Nan Rong Puchu was looking at the dim ember bead in his hand in a daze, and when he heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.
