Chapter 0119 - Black-clothed Secret Guard
"You ask us, who do we ask? Shuo'er and I are still weird! Seeing his father's frowning brows, the words that the Seventh Elder was about to shout loudly instantly turned into a small mutter.
"Old lady, why is there three missing Heavenly Thunder about the Great Elder's advancement, I guess this question should come from Lan'er, I don't need to elaborate, you can think of it when you are old!" Bai Ze leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his eyes swept over Gu Youlan, and his words were vague.
Hearing this, Dongfang Luo pondered for a while, then looked at the small golden flowers under the corners of Gu Youlan's eyes, and then looked at her golden eyes, and instantly realized in his heart, "It seems that the Heavenly Dao of the Creation Empress is really difficult for us and other laypeople to understand, alas, it's just that!" ”
After thinking about it, Dongfang Luo sighed secretly, no longer dwelling on this matter, and then motioned for the Seventh Elder to continue with the previous topic.
Seeing that the old father finally stopped worrying about the matter of the eldest brother's advancement, the seventh elder secretly felt aggrieved, although in his heart, he also very much wanted to know why the eldest brother's advanced heavenly thunder had changed from nine to six, but he also knew more that this was not the time to continue to ask, so he continued to state the topic at the beginning.
"So, while the eldest brother was recovering, I saw that the eighth sister and Zhou Jie hadn't come back yet, so I walked to the edge of the cliff to look, and I saw a red fox with nine tails sitting on Zhou Jie's body."
"I didn't expect that the dead fox was sucking Zhou Jie's soul, I thought it was Zhou Jie's contract beast, but when I saw the eighth sister lying on the edge of the deep pool, and then Zhou Jie also fell, I realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly slapped the dead fox in the air."
"Later, the nine-tailed red fox ran away, and I saw that the eldest brother was almost fine, and just about to go down to the cliff, those dogs from the Gongxi Kingdom surrounded me, and it was impossible to say that it was unforgivable! If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother hadn't fully recovered at that time, and secretly instructed us not to expose our true strength, they would have been scattered long ago! ”
"On the cliff, it's the people of Gongxi who are confronting you?" Hearing what the Seventh Elder said, Gu Youlan hurriedly asked, "What are they doing here?" ”
"What else can be done? The left is just that the national strength is approaching, and they take the opportunity to spy on the military situation! The Eighth Elder suddenly interjected.
"Eighth sister, this is wrong, they came to us to ask for the nine-tailed red fox, and according to my analysis, maybe they followed the nine-tailed red fox all the way here!" The Great Elder stroked his beard and expressed his conjecture in his heart.
"What? The people of Gongxi Kingdom are actually tracking the whereabouts of the nine-tailed red fox? Hearing this, Philip suddenly stood up and asked loudly.
Seeing Philip's nervous expression, the Great Elder was a little surprised for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bai Ze's voice coming.
"Do you know how many elders belong to which force this Gongxi country belongs to?" Bai Ze said as he held Philip down and sat down.
"That leader is a prince, and he is ashamed to say that he wants to dominate the world, it's ridiculous!" The Seventh Elder sneered.
Hearing the conversation of several people and seeing the actions of Fei Fei and Bai Ze, although Gu Youlan had doubts in her heart, her previous doubts were also instantly resolved......
It seems that it was the people of Gongxi who followed the nine-tailed red fox all the way here, and when they chased it near the cliff, the nine-tailed red fox turned into a human form and hid in the deep pool under the cliff.
At that time, several elders were looking for a place to cross the catastrophe, so when the nine-tailed red fox saw the comer, he immediately pretended to be a woman who had fallen into the water to seek help.
Several elders used to be the old men of the Danyi Sect, adhering to the sect's concept of helping the world and saving people, so they didn't think much about it, so they ordered Zhou Jie and the Eighth Elder to go to the rescue.
But the nine-tailed red fox didn't really ask for help, but set a trap with the help of help, and the eight elders didn't know how to risk their lives to save it.
The nine-tailed red fox saw that his trick had succeeded, so he took advantage of the weakness of the eight elders and Zhou Jie's advancement, and quickly sucked the souls of the two.
Gu Youlan carefully scrutinized the ins and outs of the future, which seemed logical, but she still felt a trace of uncertainty in her heart.
She clearly remembered that the nine-tailed red fox was only a seventh-level holy beast's cultivation, why could it transform into a human form? And since it was able to suck the soul while the two of them were weak, why did it only suck a little?
If it was just because it was noticed by the Seventh Elder, it was slapped in the air when it was sucking Zhou Jie's soul at that time, but according to what the Seventh Elder said, it was the soul of the Eighth Elder that it first sucked, why did it only suck not much?
Isn't it just about sucking souls? And listening to what Zhou Jie and the Eighth Elder said just now, they don't remember what happened next, so it can be deduced that the two of them are not only sucked by souls, but also by memories, so why does it want to suck people's memories?
"Lan'er, Lan'er?" Seeing that it was almost midnight outside the window, Dongfang Luo hurriedly signaled Bai Ze and Gu Youlan to leave immediately, and as soon as he finished telling everyone what to pay attention to, he saw that Gu Youlan had been in a fugue, and then shouted loudly.
"Huh? What's going on again? Gu Youlan, who had recovered from her thoughts, hurriedly asked.
"What are you thinking to yourself? I've been stunned for a long time, and now that it's almost time, you and Lord Bai Ze should leave immediately! ”
Hearing this, Gu Youlan also looked at the sky outside the window, and then looked at the few people present, then shook her head and said, "Master, don't worry, I still have something I want to understand clearly, and then it's not too late to go!" ”
"Oh, what else?" Hearing this, Dongfang Luo frowned and asked, "It seems that you have encountered a lot of things in the past few days!" ”
"Master, just listen to your old age, don't worry." Gu Youlan patted Dongfang Luo's hand and continued: "Bai Ze, when you said that there were other groups of people and the footprints of spirit beasts in the manor, do you know who they are? ”
"Oh, we've already figured it out just now, probably someone from the mine." Bai Ze took a sip of tea and leaned lazily back in his chair.
"You mean, it's possible that it's Prime Minister Wan and their people? So what are they here for? ”
Hearing Gu Youlan's words, Bai Ze hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Lan'er, why are you so stupid for a while?" ”
"Oh, sister, you are really anxious to kill me, when we said just now, you were in a trance, and now you are stupid and asked, of course, they came here because the great elder's spiritual power leaked out at that time, which attracted cloud thunder, they are in the mine near here, and they found that there is something abnormal in the sky, of course they came here to investigate!"
Seeing that Philip was still being tracked by the Gongxi Kingdom because of the nine-tailed red fox just now, his face was full of anger, and now he was back to mocking himself as before, Gu Youlan was more sure of her guess in her heart, didn't say anything more, nodded at Bai Ze, and the two went into the room to change into night clothes, and then took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to flash out of the manor.
The road did not stop, and in a few breaths, two wind-like figures stopped at the five miles south of the manor, Gu Youlan made a gesture to Bai Yu to move separately, and then the two figures disappeared in an instant.
After separating from Bai Yu, Gu Youlan did not go too far, but hid beside a huge stone nearby, condensed her spiritual power and seven apertures, expanded her divine sense, and investigated the suspicious places within a kilometer of this place.
As the aura penetrated through the seven orifices, the divine consciousness gradually extended, and suddenly, a faint dark light came from the two black boulders thousands of kilometers away. The dim light is a bit like a torch flickering in the wind, and it is just like the pearl of the night being artificially wrapped in cotton cloth.
Seeing this, the corners of Gu Youlan's mouth hooked slightly, and she hurriedly put away her spiritual power, and left this place in a flash.
"Alas, I said thirteen, in the middle of the night, the young master didn't let us rest, and patrolled back and forth at the entrance of the cave, did something happen?" Two Dark Guards, also dressed in black suits, were talking between two huge black stones, and one of the Dark Guards was holding a shining stone in his hand.
"Nineteen, don't inquire, we are secret guards, what the young master tells us to do, we have to do something, we can't ask the reason, didn't the board you received last time make you remember it for a long time?"
"Thirteen, can you not always reveal other people's scars? The last time I was beaten wasn't because of you! ”
"Nineteen, don't say these useless, the day I was bought back by the lord to become a secret guard, I told myself that I can't move those hopeless feelings, not to mention that she is a princess, and I am just a lowly dead soldier, even I don't know when this life will be gone, how dare I covet it!"
"Thirteen, it's not that my brother said you, what's so good about Princess Qingluan, she has been rude and willful since she was a child, she is ruthless and resourceful, I heard that there are countless slaves and eunuchs who died in her hands, and even the former six princesses were bullied by her, what do you like about such a woman?"
"Alas, nineteen, don't say it, although she is a princess, she can't get rid of the sadness of being a royal person after all......"
"Thirteen, I wondered, what do you pity this kind of woman? Just because she once said when you were about to be killed, don't let your blood splash on the hem of her skirt, so you picked up a life? How do I feel that what she meant in her words was to ask the young master to throw you out and die outside? ”
"Anyway, Nineteen, it's because of her words that I've been able to live until now, isn't it?"
"So, Thirteen, you are grateful to her for this, so you ask the young master to give you to her, and then marry her and marry her father-in-law Xiguo with her? The result? Didn't the young master beat you half to death? But what about Princess Qingluan? Did you take a second look at you? You say, you're stupid, aren't you stupid? ”
"Alas, nineteen, I think, I know the bitterness in her heart, if she really asks the young master to ask me to go, I really won't be able to live!"
At this time, Gu Youlan, who was lying on top of the black boulder, listened to the conversation of the two secret guards below with a sneer on her face, from the words of the two chattering, she seemed to smell more meaning, and there was an intuition in her heart, if she continued to listen, she could hear more unexpected information.
