Chapter 249 Closing the Knife
Finally, on the third level of the Holy Land, a thick dead air covered the ground, like a pool of dark lake.
Xiao Jiaying is still entangled behind Song Chengjie's back, if Song Chengjie turns around at this time, he will definitely see a pair of eyes with the same terrifying eyes that can't wait to devour himself, which is enough to annihilate everything, and is distorted by the emotion called love.
In fact, soon after Xiao Jiaying returned from the Shanghai branch, Song Chengjie was a little aware of it, although he knew a long time ago that the girl behind him had different feelings for him, but this abyss-like gaze would definitely not be what a normal person should have, but rather, now Song Chengjie is more and more suspicious of whether she encountered something in the Shanghai branch to become like this.
However, no matter what the reason, Song Chengjie will definitely not get to the bottom of it at such a time, and even the external program of light annihilation has not said anything, so at least it means that her changes have no negative impact...... Well, for herself.
"Aren't you going up there?"
Lying in Song Chengjie's ear, Xiao Jiaying actually began to rub his side face while talking again. She is not a person who will spend energy to do maintenance, compared to the blow bomb that most of her peers pursue, her skin is even slightly tough under the action of training and sunlight, but because of this, the friction room gave Song Chengjie great stimulation.
Damn, my Marshal Xiao, you usually stare at me with eyes that can't wait to swallow me, but what's the situation, hey!
Tsk, trouble...... With a sigh in his heart, Song Chengjie hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue to calm down the slightly rippling mind.
He has been training and fighting in the Shield of Justice since he was a child, and he has no intention of contacting the opposite sex, and the teachings are almost a continuation of asceticism, and he has been single for almost twenty years, so he naturally has little resistance to this kind of intimate contact.
"It's okay, there's an uncle on top, I have nothing to worry about, now I have to find the demon knife quickly, the wind sighs that they are still trapped below, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. ”
Xiao Jiaying was a little displeased when she heard this, and muttered: "I'm already very powerful, so even if I don't rely on her, I can protect you." ”
"Don't think like that anymore, she's an important partner to us, and even if she doesn't have any power, I'm not going to let it go. It's you," Song Chengjie said for a moment, some things, you really have to say it, "Jiaying, what happened to your Shanghai branch." ”
The delicate body of the person behind him trembled slightly, although it quickly recovered as before, but this reaction was enough to prove Song Chengjie's guess.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, it's not to ask these questions today, it's just that after a while, when the exorcist conference is over, I'm going to go to the Shanghai branch, and then I plan to let you go with me, so I want to know if you are still willing to go." ”
Xiao Jiaying seemed to be relieved when she heard this, and then said with a little regret: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go, after all, Hongchuan also needs a garrison." But why do you want to go there?"
"Hey, knight, what's going on up there, there's such a big commotion. ”
Qiao Cangyouer walked over a little weakly and interrupted the conversation between the two, and then was glared at by Xiao Jiaying viciously, but when he didn't know why, he saw Song Chengjie shake his head.
"I don't know, but it's not going to be a good thing. Song Chengjie raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Cangyouer, if the worry in his eyes was not disguised, then the riot above was not their ghost, "You traveled thousands of miles to come to the meeting, but you let you see Hongchuan's unorthodox appearance, I'm really sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter, this is probably 'every family has a scripture that is difficult to read'. It's just that you, as the ruler of Hongchuan, are you okay if you don't go up?"
You want me to go up?
"Don't bother, someone will be in charge of the overall situation, our top priority now is to recover the demon knife, isn't it?" Of course ......" Song Chengjie said, his eyes gradually diffused with an angry look, Qiao Cangyouer even felt that he was being locked by something, "Attacking my distinguished guests and close friends, destroying the facilities of my Shield of Justice, and polluting the underground of Hongchuan with this demon knife, will there be a safe explanation later." ”
Besides, it doesn't matter if it's stable or not, anyway, we came this time to start a war with the Five Elements Organ, and the current situation of the Shield of Justice is not optimistic, no matter how tough you Song Chengjie is, your bosses will not rashly allow you to participate in it, and at that time, these are nothing more than symbolic compensation and go through the motions.
"We will also report on this matter at the General Assembly, and I am confident that the General Assembly will make a fair decision. ”
"That's good. Song Chengjie didn't want to deal with him, so he continued to search for the demon knife after speaking.
And Yuuji naturally won't find himself bored, but the more he looks for it, the more he frowns.
It's not that this demon knife is hidden, it's just that it's all over the rubble, but this dead air is still very thick, and every time you rummage through it, you have to break the accumulated dead air first, and then search as much as possible before the dead air accumulates again, which slows down the speed.
The two were in a hurry, but Xiao Jiaying didn't feel any nervousness, and enjoyed the time alone with Song Chengjie with joy.
As for Qiao Cangyou's second ...... It seems that she has completely ignored it.
Of course, this doesn't mean that she completely ignores priorities, it's just that for her, the location of the demon knife has long been known, and when the time is almost over, guide them a little.
You must know that the Annihilation of Light is a machine spirit that controls the black technology of unknown time and space, and finding something is not a piece of cake for her.
"You just said you were going over there?"
Song Chengjie nodded, and let out a long breath to ease his strength: "You came by helicopter, which means that there should still be a lot of facilities in Shanghai, and those goods are not given away for free, on the one hand, they are showing their strength, and on the other hand, they are also inviting me." ”
And the most important point, Song Chengjie did not tell Xiao Jiaying.
Although the war of the three clans is far away, its impact on the world has only just begun. Powerful and ferocious creatures that have mutated, new monsters spawned by a large number of undead, and increasingly scarce food are all subtly changing the pattern of the world.
Ambitious people take the opportunity to win over people's hearts and expand their power to divide one side, which is not harmful to the Shield of Justice or the Orthodox Cross, and the number of believers will not fluctuate drastically because of this change in the pattern.
But for the Five Elements Organ, which has been maintaining the Chinese Federation for thousands of years, it is like a great enemy. But the Five Elements Organ itself didn't have much spare strength to deal with this, so Venerable Huyan had no choice but to ask Song Chengjie, hoping that he could find a way to help him quell the rebellions in various places.
"Then you have to be prepared. ”
"It's not that in such a hurry, the exorcist conference is imminent, there are still a lot of things to do before and after the meeting, plus the forces of all parties are also doing things one after another, I have to get almost done and then hand it over. In fact, I also know that people like me are really not suitable for the overall situation, if it weren't for me, there wouldn't be so many assassinations, rebellions, and so many victims. ”
Although Xiao Jiaying couldn't see Song Chengjie's eyes, she felt that his eyes must be full of guilt and self-blame at this time.
"Even if it weren't you, the dark things in people's hearts would have appeared. Xiao Jiaying said, quietly closing her eyes and listening to the other party's heartbeat.
"Knight, I have an offer. ”
Qiao Cangyouer's voice came over again, Xiao Jiaying was angry in her heart, you definitely did it on purpose, every time you come to show off your broken Chinese when the atmosphere is so good?
If eyes can kill, Xiao Jiaying feels that her eyes are definitely not enough, and it is simply difficult to understand the anger in her heart if she doesn't stare Qiao Cangyou to death hundreds of times: "I'm sorry, I don't think we need to listen to any of your suggestions." ”
"Indeed, our two major organizations may indeed have something to do because of the relationship between His Excellency the Knight and Venerable Huyan. To put it bluntly, this time our Yin Yang School is here to end the fate of the Five Elements Agency, so we will prepare the demon knife and some other things. But even if the five major families have become history, the Five Elements Mechanism still has some background in the end, and maybe there are still some hole cards hidden. Therefore, we can't afford to lose the demon sword. ”
"Is this, your sincerity?" Song Chengjie's eyes flickered, the relationship between himself and Venerable Huyan would not be unknown to the other party, but even so, he still had to tell himself this, it seemed that they already knew the reason why they would rather spend it here, so they had to make a desperate bet in order to get the demon knife back.
Qiao Cangyouer nodded helplessly: "I can't tell you this when she is here just now." The demon knife is not only useless to you, but it is a dangerous thing, why don't you make a deal, allow me to take it back, I will help you clean up all the dead qi in this underground, and teach you the way to make this place no longer infected by dead qi, you may not know, even if he Huyan Venerable, if he doesn't know the method, he can't do this. You see how. ”
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Song Chengjie didn't agree directly, but he was indeed a little moved. He is not interested in the method of preserving this place, and he does not know much about the Yin and Yang spells, and he does not know if he is trapped. But he cares a lot about clearing the dead air underground, if he can really do it, he can rescue the materials in the underground warehouse of the last holy land, and now that winter is coming, with these materials can greatly ensure the lives of the survivors.
It's just that...... Although he really planned to find the demon knife and take it away, he really didn't know where it fell.
As if seeing Song Chengjie's helplessness, Qiao Cangyouer asked, "Could it be that Your Excellency the Knight doesn't know the location of the demon sword?"
"I don't know. ”
"No, I guess it's just that you don't know, not necessarily the one behind you. ”
"Xiao Jiaying?" Song Chengjie raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "You know?"
The nameless fire in Xiao Jiaying's heart burned even more vigorously this time, and the breath called killing intent had already brewed in the eyes of Qiao Cangyouer: "You...... It's really annoying, I want to find a chance to kill you. ”
"It's also my honor to be remembered by a strong man who is one of the only five marshals. Although Qiao Cangyouer said so, he didn't regard the other party as a threat in his heart, although Xiao Jiaying was also one of the five marshals, but her strength was only the equipment in other time and space, and if she fought alone, she really didn't know what the result would be.
But Song Chengjie was also present, just kidding, this thing is a melee maniac who dares to fight with a knight-level demon, fight him......?
Xiao Jiaying had already lifted the restraint at this time, jumped off Song Chengjie's back, flipped over and unfolded a summoning technique, and took out a watch-like thing from it: "Chengjie, doesn't it matter if that thing is given to him?"
"Uh, so you can really find it, why didn't you say it earlier, I'm tired to death...... Although the demon knife is a great threat, I am really impressed by his conditions. ”
"I just want to stay with you a little longer, and as soon as the dead air is lifted, you're surrounded by a group of people again. Xiao Jiaying was a little depressed, raised her hand and threw the props in her hand to Qiao Cangyouer, "This radar will be borrowed from you first, and the time limit is one minute, after all, it is something that is annihilated by light, and she will still have to take it back when the time comes." ”
"Thank you. ”
"Wait, let's talk about it first, don't forget what you promised Cheng Jie. ”
Qiao Cangyou nodded, and turned to look at Song Chengjie: "If I dare to break my word, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here today." ”
Anyway, Qiao Cangyouer didn't dare to delay, and quickly determined the location of the demon knife according to the radar's prompts, but before retrieving it, he took out the scabbard first, and took out a pile of rune paper and wrapped it around his hand, carefully dispersing the dead air and approaching the half-cut handle exposed from a pile of rubble.
The whole process was really slow, and Song Chengjie, who was watching it, was really impatient, and couldn't help but interject: "Are you so afraid of your own things?" ”
Qiao Cangyouer didn't pay attention to it, and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the blade was sheathed, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said without concealment: "The demon knife is an evil thing that has been handed down thousands of years ago, not only has an extremely strange ability, but also has the characteristics of killing the lord. Looking at the entire Onmyojuku, only Sakurako-sama dares to use it, and as for us, we still think it's better to live, and we don't take this risk if we can. ”
"Then it's not easy for you. ”
"Each other. Well, thank you anyway, it's time for me to make good on my promise. You put these things away, and at noon you can arrange them in reverse according to the hexagram of this place to form a bellflower seal to keep this place safe. Qiao Cangyouji took out a box of rune paper again and again, and was about to hand it over but added, "Don't let Sakura-sama know about this, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it." ”
"This rest assured is just a popular point about what you just said. ”
"That's it...... Forget it, you just hand it over to the one surnamed Huyan, he understands, don't make a mistake when the time comes, and blame me for being unkind and unjust. ”
Song Chengjie nodded, this aspect of the matter is indeed more professional Venerable Huyan: "I didn't expect you to be so interesting." ”
As the two spoke, Qiao Cangyou Er handed over the wooden box, but no one noticed it, and at the moment he handed it over, his fingertips pressed slightly, and he left an extremely hidden blood line on the edge of it with a stroke.
