Chapter 226: Eyes Deceive
The two of them came out of the Hanging Mirror Division, Tang Xiaoxi had been burying his head deeply, and Xuan Shaozhan turned his head sideways and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
Tang Xiaoxi was slightly shocked and said in a low voice: "This hanging mirror envoy is quite obedient. ”
Xuan Shaozhan smiled: "Have you ever heard of being rigid without desire?" It has always been the hardest person to deal with when you have nothing to ask for. And the more powerful the person in this world, the easier it is to deal with. First, the more knowledgeable and the more knowledgeable, the more fearful it is. Second, the higher a person climbs and the higher his status, the more afraid he is of losing. ”
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, his gentle and calm attitude, this kind of thinking that sees through the world of officialdom, is very "mysterious". It seems that since he came out of the dungeon, he has put away those narrow and demonic sins, and transformed into the fairy of the moon and the breeze.
After calmly speaking, he reached out and touched her head, his movements were natural and intimate: "So I think it's much better to follow the judge into the city than to follow the civilians." Save time and effort. ”
She nodded silently, and said for a long time: "I don't know where Kong Yue is now, whether he is in danger or not." ”
His hand was still lightly pressed against her hair, so she sensitively noticed that his fingers stiffened slightly, and then he said, "He's not a good person, why are you always thinking about him?" ”
Tang Xiaoxi said: "He is my apprentice, the two of us were swept into Yunmeng City together, and it is reasonable that I can't leave him behind." If I can't even protect my own apprentice, wouldn't I, as a master, be very shameless? ”
She tentatively reached out, grabbed his hand, and looked up at him with those big blank eyes: "You must have a way, right?" You said you would do whatever I wanted...... It was you who built the Beichen Gate for me, and it is my responsibility as the head of the gate to protect the gatekeepers. ”
He muttered, "I built the Beichen Gate for you......" He smiled meaninglessly: "So I'm so powerful?" ”
She nodded solemnly, and he smiled: "Okay, since I'm so powerful, how can I disappoint you, if you want an apprentice, I will definitely think of something to help you get it back." Before we do that, shall we find a place to stay? ”
He tapped lightly on the box: "Now that we have money, let's go to that 'sound dock' and have a look, how about it?" ”
Tang Xiaoxi nodded, and it was only then that she noticed the surrounding environment, she listened to it for a long time, and said, "But, where is the sound dock?" It sounds like an empty street all around, and there is no smell of "peripheral play" that the mirror makes it talk about.
Xuan Shaozhan said: "I don't know either. ”
Tang Xiaoxi said: "Could it be that the hanging mirror makes us deceive? ”
"No, it won't." Xuan Shaozhan said: "It is possible for him to avoid the important and trivialize some small issues, but he does not dare to lie on major matters." Let's take a walk. ”
Tang Xiaoxi nodded, and the two of them walked slowly, and he said slowly in her ear: "This alley is about five or six feet wide, with large bluestone paving, and high walls on both sides, and the city walls are also cyan stones, and there are no trees to be seen......"
His voice was gentle and soothing, sounding like a babbling stream.
If it weren't for the previous reincarnation scene, such a moment might have moved her. Tang Xiaoxi froze and said, "Didn't we come out of the gate of the Hanging Mirror Division?" Why the city walls? ”
"No," Xuan Shaozhan said: "When we entered, we should have walked through the main gate, but when we came out, I saw a small door nearby and came out, it should be a side door." Let's go out of this alley and take a look. ”
As he spoke, he walked to the end of the alley and came to a slightly wider street.
There was a man named Hanako who was dozing off against the wall, and when she saw them come out, she looked up. Tang Xiaoxi was slightly stunned, but Xuan Shaozhan was very calm at his feet, and said in his ear: "Don't worry, we are also people with status now, and we are not afraid of him to see it." ”
Tang Xiaoxi walked a long way before he whispered: "But why do you want to set up this kind of 'watchdog' in the inner city?" ”
Xuan Shaozhan smiled and said, "Didn't you listen to them? The city lord knows everything, and the Bounty Pavilion also knows everything, how can they know everything? Of course, you have to put your eyes out and see every corner and every person. ”
Tang Xiaoxi nodded slowly and said in a low voice: "The watchdogs outside are all crazy, but here, including the 'Lianbi Bridge', most of them are beggars, and they look like normal beggars, I was thinking...... Have they cultivated the two realms to a higher level, and their 'eyes' are ordinary people? Everyone who walks by us is likely to be someone who puts their eyes on the outside. ”
Xuan Shaozhan smiled and didn't answer, Tang Xiaoxi said, "Is it dark?" ”
"That's right," Xuan Shaozhan said, "It should be the end of the unitary time......
Tang Xiaoxi suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of oil, she looked up at that place, and vaguely felt a ...... The fluctuation of spiritual power, in the line of sight, is like a light that is absent, like a galaxy in the sky, and when you look closely, you can even see a faint flow.
She said, "Is there a store in front of you?" ”
"Yes," Xuan Shaozhan said with a smile: "On the lonely street, there is such a small noodle restaurant, how do you know?" ”
Tang Xiaoxi said: "I smell it." ”
"Hungry?" Xuan Shaozhan smiled: "Then let's go and try it." ”
He pulled her forward, the smell of face, sauce and human voices getting closer and closer. Tang Xiaoxi's heart suddenly jumped.
This street should have been straight through without forks, and Xuan Shaozhan's position was also straight, but ...... She had just seen a faint glow, not in this direction.
What's going on? If this is the only noodle restaurant, where is the place with spiritual power?
She suddenly thought of the original Lianbi Bridge, did she need a portal to enter the outer periphery of the inner city? And the overlapping location of the space, is it also in the same store? If that's the case, wouldn't there be a gateway to somewhere else? What happens if I get into the wrong place?
Tang Xiaoxi hadn't thought clearly in his mind, but he was already stunned. At this time, she had already stepped up the steps of the small noodle restaurant with one foot, and the voice of the shopkeeper sounded: "Guest officer, you are here!" Two guest officers inside please! ”
Xuan Shaozhan took a step more than her, and turned around and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Tang Xiaoxi said: "No. She grabbed him by the sleeve and took a step back: "I don't think something is right. ”
Xuan Shaozhan pulled her back in a good-natured manner, and said, "But here, there is only this one shop." ”
Tang Xiaoxi stood in the middle of the road, closed his eyes, tried to feel it, and then said, "No, it's not right." The human eye can sometimes deceive people...... I'm wondering what kind of pleasure we've entered the inner city, and what kind of pleasure does the outer city claim...... It shouldn't be like this, there must be something wrong with it. ”
She walked slowly in that direction: "When we came out, we walked through the informal portal of the Hanging Mirror Division, perhaps, there will be a checkpoint here, if we go wrong, we will go back to the dungeon of Xudu, and even, go to a tighter cell." ”
