Chapter 10: Synthetic Wraiths?

As Su Luo guessed, the Yongguo people had withdrawn, and he would not have a chance to meet Qin Yixuan in a short time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, the Yongguo people still wanted to hold the Dayu Pass to resist the enemy, but the high-morale Jing army outflanked through the Xiaoyu Pass in a roundabout way, and flanked the Yongguo defenders of the Dayu Pass before and after.

There were not many Yongguo troops left behind, and with the hesitation of the military leadership, they felt as if they had been abandoned, and they quickly surrendered when they were attacked on their backs and had no support.

Wu Yuanqi achieved the status of a general because of his exploits in holding the Xiaoyu Pass, and continued to lead the war on the Western Front, confronting the Yongguo people, although he tried his best to keep Su Luo and Le Zhi, but the two still left temporarily.

Le Ji and Su Luo have a new clue about Jingyu, but before that, Su Luo has been granted the status of guest secretary by King Jing and has been "rewarded" with Jingyu.

On the surface, it was given, but in fact, Le Ji and Su Luo exchanged it for the so-called Sui Guozhu. In King Jing's eyes, Jingyu was just one of the beautiful gems, but for Su Luo, there were other important uses, and it could be said that it was a win-win deal.

As for why it is given rather than exchanged on the surface, it is because some people among the courtiers mentioned the importance of talents, and Su Luo (in fact, there is also Le Zhi) has made great contributions to the Jing State, and he is obviously an excellent talent. However, there are still too few such talents in Jingguo, so it is necessary to establish the image of King Jing's thirst for talent, which will help the court recruit talents.

These have little to do with Su Luo and Le Ji, they just need to get the crystal jade, as for whether they are exchanged or given, it doesn't matter. The purpose of the two of them coming here was to find Jingyu, and after getting this Jingguo Jingyu, Le Ji still felt that something was missing, and she felt that she didn't have enough.

King Jing didn't hide it, and there was indeed no other crystal jade in the palace. However, Jingyu should be not far from here, Rakuji is very sure about this.

In this case, Su Luo and Le Ji inquired about information in various parts of Jingguo, and such a news attracted them: there were frequent earthquakes near Jingshan, and residents evacuated one after another.

"Let's investigate the cause of the earthquake, maybe we won't know what to gain." Lezhi suggested that Su Luo said.

"Isn't the cause of an earthquake just a collision between plates? What else is there to investigate here? ”

"I don't think it's that simple." Le Ji pondered for a moment, and then said: "This earthquake is very frequent, but the intensity is very small, normally speaking, such a frequent earthquake should be after a large earthquake releases energy, and then there are many earthquakes of less intensity. ”

"It's also possible that the current small earthquake was a precursor to a mega earthquake, so people in the vicinity hurriedly moved out to escape."

The possibility that Su Le proposed also existed, but Jingyu was too important to the two of them, and Le Jian insisted on going and seeing: "There is nothing terrible about earthquakes, especially for people like you who are fast and extremely flexible, so let's go and find out." ”

"It's easy to say! I'm fine, you can't do anything, now that both of us are not in the best condition, I won't be able to take care of you then. ”

"I can take care of myself without your help. Besides, if you open the road in front, I will follow behind a little farther away, which can also improve safety****. ”

Le Zhi's wishful thinking played well, and Su Luo knew that it would be difficult for him to change his mind, so he had to agree: "It's okay to go and see, but you still have to be safe first, and you'd rather be slow on the road than take too much risk." ”

"Good! That's it. ”

Generally speaking, men are adventurous and women are more cautious, and Su Luo and Le Ji seem to be a bit reversed in this regard.

However, Su Luo's performance may also be the reason why he is more "lazy", in short, the two plan to go to Jingshan, where earthquakes are frequent, to see what happened.

…………

Sure enough, the closer you get to Jingshan, the stronger the tremor will be. In the town where the last supplies were made, Le Ji and Su Luo rested for a day and then headed for the deep mountains where no one was around.

Frequent earthquakes and the mountain road was not easy to walk, Su Luo was extremely cautious, and the two of them walked very slowly, and they did not reach the top for three or four days.

That night, the two found a good terrace to camp, because the weather was fine, and it was already a fairly high altitude, there were no mosquitoes and ants, Le Ji and Su Luo directly surrounded the tent together, opened the skylight to look at the stars.

"Su Luo, do you recognize the constellations?" Rakuchi asked.

"Constellation? At most, I can tell Orion, and there is the constellation Ursa Major or Ursa Minor, and there is the one that looks like a spoon on the Big Dipper. ”

"That's the constellation Ursa Major."

"Speaking of constellations, they are all Western terms, and we Chinese divide the stars into 28 groups, called 28 nights."

Le Ji asked Su Luo: "Which twenty-eight nights?" ”

"I don't remember that! There are too many, just like constellations, and most people only remember a few famous ones, such as the zodiac signs, Andromeda, Lyra...... But I know the four elephants. Su Luo said proudly.

"Aren't the four elephants the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu? What does it have to do with the stars? ”

"That's it, the twenty-eight houses are divided into four groups, the eastern seven houses are collectively called the green dragon, the western seven houses are the white tiger, the southern seven houses are the Vermilion Bird, and the northern seven houses are Xuanwu. In addition, the four elephants can actually refer to the four elephants of wood, fire, gold and water, the eastern green dragon belongs to wood, the southern vermilion bird belongs to fire, the western white tiger belongs to gold, and the northern basalt belongs to water. ”

"The green dragon is a cyan dragon, the white tiger is a white tiger, the vermilion bird is a red bird, what is Xuanwu?!" Raksu asked, puzzled.

"Xuan should be black, just like Qin Yixuan's color." Su Luo explained, "Xuanwu seems to be a legendary creature mixed with a turtle and a snake, and you can imagine it if you look at the stars in the sky. ”

"It's impossible to see here! The constellations also do not correspond. ”

Su Luo reacted quickly, and his mind immediately turned, "This is the starry sky of another world, it may not have the shape of Xuanwu!" However, it may be possible to synthesize the Xuanwu Phantom, we already have a Great Serpent Spirit here, as long as we get a suitable turtle Phantom, we should be able to ......"

"Synthetic Wraiths?! Where did you hear that? Rakyu was also quick to react, and she immediately understood, "Of course someone who is familiar with the gods told you, right?" You exchanged three Ding Spirits for such a little information, I think it's a loss. ”

Su Luo lowered his head and was silent, acquiescing to Le Zhi's guess, and after a while, he raised his head again and explained: "That's not a deal, at that time, sending Ding Ling was just to make a friend, and getting information was long after sending Ding Ling......"

"Something's coming!!"

Le Ji sensed the abnormality, his attention had shifted, and soon Su Luo also felt it, the ground began to shake, and the two quickly packed up the necessary things and prepared for go.

It wasn't long before a raging fire erupted from the valley near the mesa, and a monster covered in flames leaped out of it......
