Chapter 40: The Broken Cable
The third more.
There is a well-known restaurant in Zhongli City, called Heshantang, where customers who buy 'meat' steamed buns at his house every day can line up from one end of the street to the other end of the street, and their business peers are all blushing.
In the past, the 'door' was opened around the end of his house, and several large steamers were placed at the entrance of the 'door', steaming, and the fragrance of the 'meat' steamed buns could be smelled by everyone in the city. But today is a little different, it is past the hour, and the people in line have made several turns in this street, and they have not seen them open the 'door', and those who have good deeds have gone over and knocked on the 'door'. Who has ever seen a business that doesn't do business? It makes no sense.
After a while, the boss wiped the sweat on his face, and with a blue face, he came out and smiled: "I'm sorry...... Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know who bought all the steamed buns in the shop today...... Everyone, please go and buy it from another store. ”
When everyone heard that someone had bought all the 'meat' steamed buns, they all had to grunt and walk away.
The boss himself was also very helpless, listening to Xiao Er, as soon as he opened the 'door' early in the morning, before the steamer was put on the rack, two figures came over like a whirlwind, one snatched a steamer, and ran away with his face, which was extremely vicious. Xiao Er was frightened, but when he met a robber, he was about to shout, but he saw a silver ingot thrown in front of him, which weighed five taels, and he grabbed it, and heard the two robbers in front of him shout: "We want all the 'meat' steamed buns, I'm sorry." ”
Xiao Er said that the figures of those two people were like ghosts, and they couldn't tell whether they were men or women, old or young. The boss has been operating in Zhongli City for more than ten years, where has he ever encountered this kind of thing, I heard that there will be fox fairies in some places, take away the food and clothing of mortals, and leave money. Presumably, the two who snatched the 'meat' steamed buns are also fox fairies, right? Belch...... A hungry fox fairy.
As for the 'meat' steamed buns, they have all entered the stomachs of the two "fox fairies" at this moment.
Xuanji buried her head in eating Haisai hard. I was choked up, and I was reluctant to lose it. Next to her, Yu Sifeng was no better than her, holding two in one hand, and not frowning when eating.
They were really hungry. At first, both of them were injured and could not move, and they starved for five days in the 'hole' and 'hole' where there were not even snails and frogs. There was nothing but water. Later, Xuanji's internal injuries recovered, so he went out of the 'hole' to pick some wild fruits and came back to eat. There was no way, the flint stones on their bodies were washed away by the water, and the 'hole' was 'damp' and wet, so there was no way to make a fire to roast things. In the end, the two of them ate the wild fruit until they were disgusted, Xuanji was hungry and her eyes were green, and she almost wanted to catch ants to eat, but fortunately, Yu Sifeng kept some sense, and immediately dragged her sword out of the 'hole' after the injury. (16K, mobile station ap. update the fastest). went straight to Zhongli City, and early in the morning, when the 'door' of the store had not yet opened, he grabbed the 'meat' steamed bun and ran. Given the current image of the two of them, it is really not suitable for people. It's almost like a wild man, in order not to frighten the people in the city. Edgeworth had to fly back to the deep mountains and old forests. I ate the 'meat' steamed buns in the two steamers with the spring water.
Xuanji was satisfied at this time, holding her bulging belly. Lying on the stone and burping, he said, "The world's 'meat' steamed buns are really the most delicious." ”
Yu Sifengdi's image is not much better, but he at least knows how to wash his face in the water, comb his 'messy' hair neatly, and then beckon to her: "Come here, tidy yourself up." ”
Xuanji ate to death, couldn't move, and shook her hand lazily: "I'll talk about it later...... No one anyway. ”
He had to sigh, came over to wash her hands and face, and combed her 'messy' unkempt hair with water, and casually tied it in a bun, but it seemed that he was not good at combing her hair for 'women', and the bun was shaky and 'want', which was very dangerous.
"Now the injury is almost healed, and my strength has recovered. Let's go find Linglong and Minyan. ”
Yu Sifeng helped her bun again and again, and finally lied to herself that it would not fall apart, and let go with confidence.
Xuanji was originally lazy, like a cat, and she was going to sleep when she was full, but when she heard the names of Linglong and Minyan, she immediately jumped up and said, "We'll look for it right away!" Maybe they're still in Gao's Mountain! ”
Yu Sifeng looked down at her muddy clothes, and then at Di Xuanji, who also came out of the mud pit, she also found her embarrassed appearance, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. However, the wrapped clothes he brought with him were all placed in Fang's house, and he couldn't find a place to change for a while, so he had to pat the mud on it with water casually, and 'make' it neat up a little, and then set off to find someone.
Because they were worried about encountering those demons again halfway, they decided to fly with Edgeworth, flying close to the top of the tree, and they could quickly escape in case of an emergency.
But they 'spent' all morning, almost the entire Gao's Mountain, not only did they not find Linglong, they did not see half a shadow of the demon land, and there was no one in the mountain 'cave' where Tingnu had gone to hide from the rain before.
"That day, I seemed to see someone put off an early warning signal." Yu Sifeng searched in the 'hole' for a while, but didn't find any clues, sighed, and said.
Xuanji leaned against the wall blankly and whispered, "It must be Linglong them...... Could it be captured by a youkai? ”
Yu Sifeng shook his head: "Those demons want to kill us to take revenge, how can they stay alive." I haven't been looking for a long time but haven't found it, so they must have fled. Let's go to Tianji Pavilion first to see if the Dinghai Iron Cable has been damaged. ”
Xuanji had no choice but to fly with him to the top of Gao's Mountain. The purple fox luxuriously walked in the palace, this time they had experience, and they never entered the 'labyrinth' palace again, and flew directly to the top of the palace, where there was indeed a small 'hole', leading to the Tianji Pavilion behind, which was pitch black and black, and the 'yin' wind gusted, as if there were many demons and monsters hidden.
Yu Sifeng 'drawn' out the short sword, walked in front, and said lightly: "You follow closely, I'm afraid that those demons are still inside, we have to be careful." "Xuanji's own saber was snatched away by the purple fox and couldn't be found, this will be Yu Sifeng's sword, it is a little heavier, and it is not very easy to use, but at the moment, I can't care so much, I immediately 'pulled' it out and held it in the palm of my hand, and walked in it step by step with him.
Soon arrived at the Tianji Pavilion, Yu Sifeng listened intently for a long time, there was no movement in it, he made a look at Xuanji, motioned for her to cover, he rushed up with an arrow, his back suddenly tightened, and the true qi was poured into the short sword, as long as someone pounced on the attack, he could react immediately.
But there was no figure in the Tianji Pavilion, he slowly retracted his momentum and beckoned to Xuanji: "Come in...... Something seems to be wrong here. ”
Xuanji came in and looked around, "It's nothing...... It seems to light up. "She remembered that the Tianji Pavilion was 'yin' and closed, because the purple fox kept its 'flesh' body here. But right now, not only is it not dark, but it is also very bright, and there is actually a mountain breeze blowing in.
"That wall is gone." Yu Sifeng pointed to the east, where the entire wall had been removed, so it looked bright.
He went and 'touched' the edge of the wall, which was so smooth that it was as if he had cut through the wall with a great knife.
"Ah, I remember that this wall was originally nailed to the sea." Xuanji looked around, and finally determined that this was the wall with iron cables and rune paper in his impression.
Yu Sifeng's brows furrowed deeply. It stands to reason that the artifact of the Dinghai Iron Cable is by no means so easy to destroy, otherwise the imprisoned demon would have been rescued a long time ago, so why wait so many years. What the hell are those demons? I was able to easily remove all the walls nailed to the iron cables.
So if you extrapolate like this, the Dinghai Iron Cable of Haiwan Mountain must have also been destroyed, and the situation of the other six parties is still unclear to them, but according to the way those demons act, after Zhongli City, it should be to the northeast. There are mountains there, and he doesn't know where the Dinghai iron cable is hidden.
"Si Feng, do you guess, could it be that Bi Fangniao burned it with fire? Burned the wall. ”
Xuanji 'touched' and 'touched' on the smooth facet, and vaguely felt some of Bi Fang's demonic aura.
Yu Sifeng shook his head slowly: "I don't know, actually...... It's also the first time I've heard of this thing as Dinghai Iron Cable, and I've just learned about it...... It turns out that there are so many demons in the world who have become 'essences' gathered together. ”
If the plan of those demons is to destroy the iron rope and rescue the big demon, then should they stop it? No...... The question now is not whether it should or not, but whether it can be done. Now that the five of them are scattered, he and Xuanji's skills can't deal with them at all. He thought for a while, then turned his head and said, "Xuanji, I'm afraid that this matter is strange, and it's not something we can deal with." Right now, we are closest to the floating 'jade' island in the East China Sea, so we might as well go to the owner of the eastern island. If they are lucky, if 'Jade' and Min Yan are together and find Linglong again, they will definitely go to Floating 'Jade' Island first. Let's go to the floating 'jade' island and meet them. ”
Xuanji nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that this will be the time to determine the quota of this year's hairpin 'flower' conference, this time it will be the hairpin 'flower' conference on the floating 'jade' island, everyone will also choose a place on the floating 'jade' island, maybe you can meet your fellow 'door'." Well, those senior brothers of the Shaoyang Sect will definitely go too. ”
Yu Sifeng was silent, in his heart, he really didn't want to see the people of Lize Palace. He couldn't explain it to anyone, the mask had been taken off, and he was still crying. After a long time, he whispered, "It's okay...... Let's go. ”
