Chapter 403: Pian Magpie (Second Update)
"It awakens."
Hearing this, Cheng Lin's brain was a little down for a while.
Then I remembered a duck with blank eyes and a gentle golden retriever.
Animal Awakening ...... It's rare, but I didn't expect it to happen here.
"Can you tell us about the specifics?" Cheng Lin asked.
The person in charge shrugged, "There's nothing to say, it's just that this morning, the keeper found it, and then dropped the surveillance, through some of its abnormal behavior in the video, guessing that it is very likely to wake up, the people in the zoo immediately reported the case, and also notified the people of the Seventh Division, but it is not easy to trace, so I came over and sent a clue to offer a reward." ”
"Why didn't I hear the news, it stands to reason that it is dangerous for animals to awaken and flee into the city, this news should not be hidden, but should directly let the major TV stations inform the public, right?"
Cheng Lin was a little puzzled.
"The reason is very simple, because the Seventh Division judged that the lethality of this animal was not great, so it didn't make a storm in the city."
"What kind of animal is it?" Cheng Lin asked curiously.
The person in charge glanced at him, "Bird, a bird, to put it mildly, is...... A black magpie. ”
"It's also elegant...... If you just say it's a magpie, it's over......" Cheng Lin complained in his heart, but he also realized that if it was just a black magpie...... It does seem to be of limited lethality.
"How? Interested? Do you want to take on this task? Detective Cheng? The person in charge quipped.
Cheng Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just get in the car and leave later, what other tasks do you take, besides...... Do you think I'm really Sherlock Holmes? Or the Grim Reaper Schoolboy? The Terracotta Warriors were lucky enough to come across it. ”
A few small talks.
The staff over there also ran back and said that the goods had been loaded onto the car.
Cheng Lin didn't delay any longer, and walked out of the "Cultivator's Alley".
Outside, a van was parked.
Cheng Lin spent money to find it.
The last staff member was helping to close the door of the carriage.
Cheng Lin stopped him and looked inside through the gap, and there were piles of cardboard boxes with red, red, green and green apple patterns.
If ordinary people look at it, they won't think that this place contains millions of spirit plants.
After roughly counting the numbers with his eyes and confirming that it was correct, Cheng Lin locked the compartment and then got into the co-pilot position at the front of the car.
The driver was running a long distance and was smoking there.
Seeing that he came up and snuffed out his cigarette, he slammed into the courtyard next to him, and asked, "Wholesale apples here?" ”
Cheng Lin was stunned, smiled, and said, "No." ”
The driver probably saw that he didn't want to speak, so he didn't ask again, just twisted the car key, started the truck and drove away.
Cheng Lin told him that he wanted to pull the truck to the nearby county.
It was also calm along the way.
The driver drove, and Cheng Lin was playing with his mobile phone, watching videos or something, which was also a rare leisure time on the road of hard cultivation.
It was already afternoon when I came out.
When I finally got out of Chang'an City and drove alone on the long national highway, outside the car window, there were endless farmlands on both sides of the road, and the time was close to evening.
Today there are burning clouds, and the western horizon is red, and the earth is shining with gold.
"Master driver, let's stop here."
Suddenly, Cheng Lin, who was bored playing with his mobile phone, pressed off the screen and spoke.
"What? Stop here? The driver was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
"That's right, it's here, there are some temporary changes, my friend's car is nearby, I'll come over later, I'll give him the goods directly," Cheng Lin made up nonsense without changing his face, "What about the money, don't worry, it's still according to what we agreed before, but you don't have to run so many more roads, just stop here." ”
"This ...... Okay? So I'll park and you, etc.? ”
"No, just help me unload the goods and put them on the side of the road." Cheng Lin smiled.
Seeing that his tone was firm, the driver was also happy.
You can save money on gas by running a little less.
Although this request seemed a little strange, he didn't bother to think about it so much.
Turning off the engine, the two opened the door and got out of the car, opened the warehouse, and began to move the boxes out.
There is only one spirit plant in each box, and for insurance, a jade flower pot is included, and with the soil inside, the weight is not light.
It's a little heavier than that small green apple.
The driver has a good heart, probably thinking that he has taken advantage, so he takes care of everything and helps unload the goods down.
Cheng Lin didn't refuse, seeing that dozens of cardboard boxes were piled up on the side of the empty national road, the driver turned on the door, got in the car, and left in the afterglow of the sunset.
Only Cheng Lin and a pile of cardboard boxes at his feet were left alone, bathed in the soft light of the western sky.
"Phew, now I can finally move these to the spirit world, is it easy for me to avoid the limelight......"
Muttering to himself, Cheng Lin laughed at himself.
Thinking about it, he always felt that it was not safe to open the light door in a crowded place.
As for finding a room, these goods are also a bit eye-catching, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is simply more troublesome and disposed of in this place.
Look left and right to make sure there is no one on either side of the road.
Cheng Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at these boxes with satisfaction.
In his eyes, this is not a cardboard box, but a rising "spiritual land".
However, in the next second, Cheng Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"This box ......"
Cheng Lin frowned, walked to the one on the very edge, pulled it over and took a look, and his face changed suddenly!
"How is there a hole in this?"
I saw that on the side of the cardboard box, there was a hole as big as a fist.
The hole seems to have been squeezed out, so on the outside, it looks just a little wrinkled, and he didn't look closely at it at all out of trust in the official.
Now, this hole suddenly made him have a bad premonition in his heart.
He tore open the cardboard box suddenly, and the scene he saw next made Cheng Lin's whole mind go down.
In the cardboard box, the jade flower pot is still there.
The soil inside the pot is still there.
Merely...... The spiritual plant in the soil has only a short stalk left!
The flowers and branches on it are all gone!
A good splendid flower, as if it had been gnawed by a dog, only a stalk remained, poked alone in the pot, helpless and pitiful in the sunset.
Cheng Lin only felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a big hand...... It's so distressing......
"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”
He muttered, his hands trembling and pulling the second box over again, taking a closer look...... There's a hole too!
Tear open the box, and the scene inside is exactly the same!
"This one is gone!"
Cheng Lin took a deep breath and opened the third ...... Fourth ...... Fifth ......
Exactly!
The spirit plants in every box are gone!
Seeing that the treasures he had finally bought were gone, Cheng Lin's face became heavier and heavier, and the murderous aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and the whole person almost came to the verge of going berserk.
Finally, when he opened the fifteenth box, he sensed that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a sound in this box!
Without thinking about it, Cheng Lin divided his hands, and the fragile cardboard box suddenly fell apart.
Then, all he saw was, on that pot, a fat bird squatting!
The gray beak and black feathers enveloped the little head, then spread to the chest, and when it reached the abdomen, it abruptly stopped, turning into a snow-white, the wings were together, and the black and white colors were faintly seen, and a slender tail was straight and straight, abruptly poked in the air, making people have the urge to take a hand.
At this moment, it is squatting in a flower pot and pecking at the spirit plant intently.
That good flower has been eaten all over the place, and the leaves are incomplete, and it looks like it can't survive.
Seeing the cardboard box cracking and the sunlight pouring in, this black magpie obviously didn't react, and stayed there stupidly.
It took two or three seconds before it turned its head consciously.
In its blue, bean-like eyes, a terrifying, murderous human face was reflected.
"Huh."
Cheng Lin squatted aside, staring at the culprit, and ripped the corners of his mouth open, revealing his white teeth.
Only then did the black magpie react, and his fat body trembled, and he tried to spread his wings, and was about to fly away, and at the same time let out a frightened cry: "Chirp! ”
"You call me scum?!"
Cheng Lin felt that he had been provoked, the four-grade aura on his body exploded, his right hand reached out like lightning, grabbed this hateful bird, felt the struggle of the other party, and the faint aura escaping from the feathers, Cheng Lin instantly realized its identity.
"So, the bird that ran away from the zoo is you, right?"
At this moment, Cheng Lin only felt that life seemed to be an absurd script.
Such a coincidence?
Not long ago, I was still inquiring about this matter, and this time I met myself in a blink of an eye? This is incredible.
No, no, no.
This is no coincidence.
Cheng Lin tried to calm himself down.
Glancing at the boxes, he suddenly realized that the awakened animal was likely to be very sensitive to the spirit plant, and after the bird escaped, it probably instinctively looked for a place for the spirit to gather in the city.
The spiritual land in Qin Province is not in Chang'an.
In addition, the aura in the city is already thin, so it probably sensed the breath of its own batch of spiritual plants through the spirituality of some animal, and sneaked into the carriage while the workers were loading the car.
I didn't look closely, which led to the situation in front of me.
Some things seem to be coincidences, but if you think about it carefully, you can analyze the internal logic.
"Scum...... Slag ......"
The black magpie was caught by Cheng Lin, and after struggling for a while, and after finding that it was useless, he sold his pity, staring at the blue eyes and making a pitiful cry.
Cheng Lin couldn't help but laugh angrily when he heard this.
The heart said that you have ruined so many things of me, do you expect to let you go with two begging for mercy?
However, in the midst of the black magpie's cry, Cheng Lin finally let go of his hand, and instead used his aura to condense two vines, tied them up firmly, and hung them in the air.
After that, Cheng Lin simply ripped off a piece of cardboard box.
Padded under the buttocks.
Cross-legged on the warm road.
A man and a bird look at each other quietly in the afterglow of the sunset.
There was silence for about half a minute.
Cheng Lin finally spoke, he wrapped his arms around his chest, and said in a bad tone: "Come on, let's talk, you say, what's the end of this matter?" Is it public or private? ”
Black Magpie: "Chirp?? ”
