Chapter 16: The Robbed Wood
In the middle of the night, the full moon hung high, and the cold moonlight sprinkled through the thick fog to the earth, and everything was shrouded in a faint white light.
Ethereal, hazy, bland, everything is very unreal.
"In the middle of the night, the gates won't open, so let's find a place to spend the night, right?"
After a night of driving, they finally escaped the pursuit, and the three of them were now standing in the shadows under the city gates.
Looking at the tall city wall overhead that was shrouded in darkness in the night, and the arrows with cold light in the arrow stampe, I was slightly worried.
There is an iron-blooded law that has been handed down since the founding of the country, and the city gates will not be opened as long as it is after dark.
If anyone dares to trespass, wait for a cold arrow to shoot through your heart!
And these secret cold arrows were all arranged by the guards of the founding emperor of the Western Snow Country.
Up to now, it has a history of two or three hundred years!
Legend has it that these dead men were mythical immortals who were able to soar through the clouds and fog, travel through time and space, and lived extremely long.
However, since the death of the Founding Emperor, these dead men have evaporated from the world.
Hundreds of years have passed, and it is strange that Jiacheng's defense has not weakened by half a point.
Every year, only a few more people die under this cold arrow, and since then, no one dares to trespass at night.
All three of them looked at the city wall in the dark night, and they were worried.
Leng Mian Li Xiang didn't say a word, and Nangong Yehua, a peach-eyed boy, didn't care at all, so the task of finding a place to settle fell to Youfeng.
But where to find it in the middle of the night?
Otherwise, it will be in the corner of the wall, and it will not be far from dawn anyway.
However, this proposal was strongly opposed by Nangong Yehua, who said, "Master, I have a noble status, how can I give in?" "I forced the wind to find it.
As much as you want!
They are on the run, not playing in the mountains and rivers, and they dislike this and that, and they are not politely asking her to do this and that, and she is not his maid.
Helplessly, someone saved your life, can you say no?
After thinking about it, Youfeng still resigned himself to his fate and went to find it in the dark.
It's so dark, there are no torches, but fortunately tonight is a full moon, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to find a place to stay alone.
When she walked out of the road, she looked back and found that Lixiang hadn't followed!
What kind of people are these, really let her go alone as a four or five-year-old child!
He waved his fist in the direction of the city gate angrily, and was suddenly deflated, the feeling of being in debt was really, so sad!
Resigned to his fate, he searched along the main road.
The dark night became darker and darker, and the moonlight that exuded clear light was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the heavens and the earth slowly fell into darkness.
The cold wind whined, and the dark woods rustled in all directions, which was especially eerie in the silent night.
You Feng looked at the suddenly darkened sky, felt the cold wind blowing from all directions, and a sentence unconsciously appeared in his mind.
The night is dark and the wind is high to kill the night, and the third is in the middle of the night when the treasure is grabbed!
Suddenly frightened, cold sweat soaked his back.
I didn't think it just now, but now I look at these trees that are swaying and hiding in the darkness by the wind, like ghosts with teeth and claws, and a panic gradually spreads in my heart.
Without thinking about it, he ran back with his head in his hands, and ran a long way all the way before he gradually calmed down.
Because she was lucky to see a ruined temple in front of her, and the glittering fire reflected from it.
There is no end to the road!
Youfeng clasped her hands together and worshiped the sky reverently, I don't know which way it is a god here, anyway, she thanked it all.
Shouting must have saved the whole universe in her previous life, and the universe rewarded her today.
After thanking him, he pulled his legs and ran towards the broken temple.
Running to the front of the temple, a strange feeling suddenly appeared, and he naturally stopped.
Her sixth sense has always been accurate, which is a danger signal.
So he lightened his steps, held his breath, and quietly hid under the eaves of the broken temple, and with the light of the fire leaking from the broken window, the wind boy carefully looked inside.
There was a fire in the open space inside the ruined temple, and the firewood was burning vigorously, but it did not make a sound, and next to the fire sat a man in blue clothes.
Because he was sitting with his back to her, and against the light, he could only see a vague back, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Youfeng noticed that the man was not very old, but his back was straight, like a steep mountain cliff, exuding indifference that was thousands of miles away.
Looking at his back, an unspeakable sadness suddenly surged in his heart.
"Come out!"
Suddenly, with a loud shout, Youfeng was startled, and was about to obediently come out of the grass under the eaves, but two black-clothed people appeared out of thin air in the ruined temple where there was only one person.
Youfeng was startled again, and then relieved himself, it turned out that it was not her.
However, the figures of the two men in black, she seemed to have seen them somewhere.
Seeing that they were fighting all at once, Youfeng quickly held his breath and hid again, no longer distracted.
Through their fight and turn, Youfeng finally saw clearly whether the man in blue was a man or a woman, but he actually covered his face with a light blue silk, and even his eyes were mostly blindfolded.
The wind looks at the sky with both eyes, and holds his forehead with one hand, there are too many bad things in this world who do bad things with their faces covered!
She's seen several times in the past few days!
The three of them shot like the wind, their moves were sharp and decisive, there was no superfluous movement, and the wind couldn't help but cheer for them when they watched from the sidelines.
However, the two men in black were obviously superior, grabbed a flaw, and waved their palms at the men in blue.
The blue-clothed masked man slammed into the pillar, and the masked blue scarf oozed red, and at the same time, the burning flame was extinguished.
Suddenly, the ruined temple fell into darkness.
The next moment, I felt that the grass not far away was trampled by someone, and the sound of the wind breaking through the air was obvious.
Someone ran out of the ruined temple!
The surroundings were so quiet that only the whirring wind could be heard, and it couldn't stop blowing.
The wind was not sure that all three of them had run away, but he remained on high alert, staying motionless in the grass.
After a long time, Youfeng felt that his legs were almost unconscious, there was no sound around him, and even the sound of the wind gradually disappeared, so he was sure that the three people were gone.
Out of a curiosity to explore, the cat crept into the ruined temple, for she heard a strange noise as they fought, like the sound of something falling to the ground, very soft, and for some reason, she just heard it.
Heavenly spirits and earth spirits, I hope they didn't find out, didn't find out!
It was very dark in the temple, and the wind groped on the ground for a long time and didn't touch anything, but made himself disgraced.
Fortunately, the moon, which was covered by dark clouds, came out at this time, and suddenly illuminated the dark ruined temple, and the wind suddenly found something that had fallen by the fire.
How could that thing be a piece of wood?
No wonder she had smelled the smell of burnt paste, as if it were firewood in the fire that had not yet been completely extinguished.
She couldn't think too much about it, so she quickly rescued it from the spark, vigorously extinguished the flames that had been lit on it, ran to the window with several big holes in a few steps, and looked at the 'wood' that was being fought for by the moonlight.
However, before she had time to take a second look, she sensed that someone was coming, so she quickly put it away and ran towards the stone statue behind the ruined temple.
The moonlight shone on the quiet ruined temple, surrounded only by the chirping of insects and the sound of footsteps coming.
As the door of the ruined temple was pushed open, the heart of the wind jumped to his throat.
They can't be the men in black just now, right?
Did you find out that you had robbed the wrong one and killed it back?
At this time, Youfeng covered the piece of wood that had been picked up and leaked, and it was not to go out, nor was it to go out, and it was entangled for a while.
"Shouldn't that little girl find a good place by herself and forget about us?" The joking voice with a faint smile sounded familiar.
Then she heard a familiar voice again, "She won't!" ”
The cold tone, the concise words, can make people imagine that the face of the person who spoke is also cold.
So this guy isn't pretending to be cold!
The wind reacted immediately and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
It turned out to be them, and they scared her to death.
Just as Youfeng wanted to go out, he heard them say another word, and suddenly straightened his waist and retracted it, letting his breath go even more lightly.
"Those people last night ......" is Lixiang, the voice.
"Their purpose is to be left!" Nangong Yehua said casually.
Youfeng was shocked when she heard this, she felt that these words seemed to be said to her on purpose!
Did the two people sitting by the fire know that she was hiding behind the stone statue and picked up the thing?
But why not get it now?
With their force value, things can be easily obtained, right?
Before she could figure it out, they spoke again.
"That thing ......" Lixiang's words were not without regret.
"Maybe someone picked it up a long time ago!" Nangong Yehua said as if jokingly, and her body turned to the side where she was hiding without leaving a trace.
"Pick it up?" Lixiang said in surprise.
"Or maybe it was burned to ashes by this fire!"
Nangong Yehua's half-truths and half-truths were so shocked that Lixiang hurriedly found them in the fire.
Looking at Lixiang's reaction, he didn't seem to know that she was hiding here, so, what did the son of King Duanqing mean by saying this?
The wind stood motionless, almost unable to stand, but fortunately it was almost dawn at this time, and they finally decided to leave.
