(023) The hidden strange man
Countless speculations flashed in his heart, but there was no way to make up his mind, I don't know what tricks that person was playing? It's so enduring. However, at this time, Yan Zheng's injury is more important, if that person doesn't take the initiative to come out, Poppy doesn't want to waste time here, holding the attitude of soldiers coming to block and water to cover up, Poppy just secretly raised his guard in his heart.
According to Yan Xiaoxiao, the Shen family moved here from Wucheng a long time ago, and she didn't know how long it was, but there was a natural canyon called Mingyue Canyon ten miles west of the court, and it is said that the climate there is pleasant all year round, not only geothermal hot springs, but also a lot of exotic flowers and plants, and full of spiritual power, especially suitable for alchemy and medicine, so, after the turmoil in Wucheng a long time ago, the Shen family moved there.
It is said that an eldest lady of the Shen family had a good personal relationship with the chief wizard of the Chamo clan, so the Shen family has always been friendly with the Chamo clan.
These are some of the old things that Poppy learned from Yan Xiaoxiao's mouth, Poppy smiled and didn't comment, the relationship between Yaoji and the eldest lady of the Shen family, she knows better than others, but it's not good to say much at this time.
Until this time, Poppy did not tell Yan Xiaoxiao her real name and origin, after all, she didn't know the details of this person, and it was not a bad thing to be cautious.
But in his heart, he was secretly calculating, I don't know if if he arrived at Mingyue Canyon later, and then moved out of Yaoji's signboard, would the other party be able to buy it? Or, at least, to reveal the identity of the Ink Wizard, after thinking about it, he secretly laughed at his childishness.
According to Yanxiao's statement, if it is an ordinary illness and shows the identity of the Brake Ink Wizard, it should still not be closed, but what they want is not an ordinary elixir, it is the "Nirvana Huifeng Pill", the elixir that the Shen family has passed down to bring the dead back to life and prolong life, so Poppy himself does not expect the Shen family to give it up easily.
Moreover, if you show your identity and startle the snake, it will not be so easy to start again.
It seems that there is only one way to be a thief, poppy sighed slightly.
Be a thief, be a thief, as long as you can save Yan Zheng, it's easy to say anything.
The sun is thin, and the sunset is golden. The tired birds laughed and flew into the thick green forest, but it was a pity that neither of the two people who passed by the forest had the leisure to enjoy this beautiful scenery.
"It's almost there, through this dense forest, and then through the valley in front!" Yan Xiaoxiao didn't look back and threw such a sentence at Poppy, Poppy pinched the life secret, but there was still no gain, and his brows couldn't help frowning deeper.
Although it is summer, there is no lack of coolness in this mountain, especially this place is a mountain valley. The gurgling stream meanders down from the rocks and crashes into the new bamboo shoot-shaped cyan rocks, making a rhythmic sound that echoes between the heavy stone walls. The lush strange trees on the top of the head root veins are rooted in the cracks of the stone wall, and they grow tenaciously to form a verdant dome, which has the spirit of covering the sky and the sun.
This Shen family will choose a place, this valley is full of spiritual energy, and it is a good place for self-cultivation. And the smoke is small, this is not within the scope of Mingyue Canyon, just the periphery, there is such a scenery on the periphery, and in the canyon, I really don't know what it looks like.
In this mountain valley, Yan Xiaoxiao and Poppy are like two nimble birds, moving rapidly in the direction of the stream, and their steps are agile, undisturbed by the abrupt rocks and the vines that twist and turn.
"You've been here before?" This valley seems ordinary, if you are careful, you will find that in fact, the terrain here is intricate, and if you are not careful, you will get lost in this valley and lose your direction, and, it seems, this valley seems to be carefully arranged by someone, at least poppy Li Li came all the way, she felt that everywhere she went looked almost the same, if she was alone, I was afraid that she would have been lost a long time ago, but looking at the Yan Xiaoxiao who led the way in front of her, she looked like a familiar car, and Poppy couldn't help but have some doubts.
"In the past, Yan Zheng was ordered to go to the Shen family a few times to ask for pills, and I went with him a few times." Although it is an understatement, but with the identity of these girls and the way she got along with Yan Zheng before, Poppy can imagine that she may not be Zhengda Guangming to follow, and it is inevitable to use some small means, but at this time, Poppy is not interested in exposing her, and for their current situation, Yan Xiaoxiao has been mixed in a few times, such an experience is a rare experience, after all, they are not Zhengda Guangming to visit this time.
"The tail in the back is coming at you?" Yan Xiaoxiao suddenly threw out such a sentence for no reason, which made Poppy slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, it turned out that she also noticed? Unexpectedly, although this guy's cultivation is not high, he feels very sensitive, and his evaluation of her in his heart is unconsciously a few points higher.
"Well, but I haven't figured out the other party's identity, and I can't understand why he keeps following me and doesn't do anything." Poppy pondered for a moment, and then decided to tell her the truth, after all, the two were grasshoppers in the same boat at this time.
"Then let's find a way to shake off that tail and re-enter Mingyue Gorge, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Yan Xiaoxiao immediately made a decision: "Follow me later, don't follow!" ”
Before Poppy could react to what she was going to do, she saw her fly and jump, and she jumped directly into the deep pool in front of her!
Only then did I notice that the flowing water in the mountains formed a deep pool in front of me, which was as green as jade in the shallow area and as black as ink in the depths. Occasionally, birds fly over the waves, preying on floating insects on the water.
And Fang Caiyan's small movements were light and ethereal, just like a bird sweeping the waves, sweeping into the pool, and it was only a slight ripple.
What a skill! Poppy couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the small light work of Yan was really good, I'm afraid that the Ling Bo microstep I saw in the past is just like that, right?
But there is no time to think about these haves and don'ts, poppy walked to the edge of the pool, flew and stepped on the waves, until the center slowly sank, if she was not mistaken, Yan Xiaoxiao should have sunk directly from here to the bottom of the pool, but I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in her gourd?
Can you shake off the tail behind you when you sink into the pool? With such doubts, Poppy slowly sank to the bottom of the deep pool.
Fortunately, Poppy, who was born in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, has cultivated a good water nature since he was a child, and with spiritual power to protect his body, he is afraid that there is not much problem in diving underwater for a few hours.
As soon as Fang sank, Poppy felt the strangeness of this deep pool, the water flow at the bottom of the pool was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, the more he dived, the more he felt that the surrounding water was violently turbulent, and a faint figure of smoke suddenly flashed in front of him, Poppy didn't dare to slack off and quickly followed, one by one the turbulent huge whirlpools flew back and forth on his side, the place where the dark whirlpool passed, as if a tornado had hit, if he was sucked in, he was afraid that he would die without a place to bury, right?
Suddenly, Poppy felt a huge suction force in front of him sweeping in to absorb all things, and was about to use spiritual power to resist, but suddenly felt that his hand seemed to be being held, and an invisible force was pulling him to swim in a certain direction.
In a fog, Poppy seemed to see the smoke next to him with one hand in the seal, and then, a pillar of light as dazzling as a star gradually appeared in front of the two of them, at this moment, the water flow that was flying at high speed around the dark vortex suddenly underwent a slight change, time seemed to stand still, and no sound could be heard, and the star-like pillar of light was like a big axe that opened the world, forcibly diverting the swirling water flow.
A black crack suddenly appeared from between the separated streams of water, and before she could react to what was going on, she was dragged by Yan Xiaoxiao and jumped into the black crack, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
