Chapter 293: Searching for People in the Southern Wilderness (2-in-1 Chapter)
Without further ado, the situation changed greatly, and Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping rushed to the north of the empire overnight. Before leaving, Xu Xiaobai told Xue Linger and Ma Sumin that in the next few days, two old men would come to the imperial city and let the two of them answer, and at the same time work together to find Guo Caidie's whereabouts.
To the north of the empire, the territory of the He family. He Tongfa has already sent a message to rectify the army and horses to start a war against the Li family, and at the same time, he is also ready to leave the imperial city. However, He Tongfa certainly couldn't imagine who the opponent he was facing. Before Xu Xiaobai went to the north, he had already discussed with Xu Ping to place the imperial power, but he couldn't let the imperial power be too weak, so what they could do for Xue Linger now was to deter the four major families on behalf of the royal family, Xu Xiaobai definitely didn't want to kill too many people, what he asked for deterrence was the so-called four major families.
Under the premise that Xue Linger and Ma Sumin didn't know, Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping did something that the entire empire probably couldn't imagine, and they arrested all the core members of the four major families.
There are many masters of the four major families, but in Xu Xiaobai's opinion, these people are nothing more than that. He Tongfa never imagined that Xu Xiaobai would be so domineering.
The core personnel of the four major families of the Occult Empire disappeared all at once, and there was no doubt that this was scary enough. And these people can be said to have been tortured by Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping's various modernizations, and after all these people were trained and obedient, Xu Xiaobai put them back one by one.
It's done, Xu Xiaobai has to go back to his life. However, in the north of the empire, there is another person waiting for him. As soon as Xu Xiaobai came out, he saw a ray of light summoning him. And when he went to Xu Ping, he found that in the valley, it was Lylith waiting there.
Xu Xiaobai was extremely curious and asked, "Aren't you unable to leave the island?" ”
Lylith said: "The magic crystal has been obtained by you, and we naturally have no use value on the island." And I did come down this time to find you. ”
"What's the use of looking for me?"
Lylith said, "You have obtained the magic crystal, but do you know what the magic crystal is?" ”
Xu Xiaobai said: "I know a little bit about it, the magic crystal is a gem in the crown of the power of the Western Shijie Demon Emperor, so it contains a lot of Western magic power." ”
"It's good that you know, and I know that you do have the magic of the Western Demon King in your body. Plus you now get the Magic Shard. If you can use it properly, it can allow you to enter a different realm. ”
After hearing this, Xu Ping said: "This sentence makes me think, do you want to teach Xu Xiaobai some Western magic?" ”
Lylith shook her head: "Naturally, I am not qualified to teach Xu Xiaobai." So. I'm just teaching Xu Xiaobai how to use Western magic for someone. ”
Xu Xiaobai hurriedly asked, "Who is that person?" ”
"I can't answer that. But sooner or later you'll know. ”
Xu Xiaobai shook his head: "You are stupid to me, you don't tell me who the person behind me is, but you come to teach me." How do I know what you're up to? If I am cheated by you, I will not have no way out. ”
Lylith said calmly: "Xu Xiaobai, there is one thing you need to know. Although the continent of Egret Island is controlled by the Void Empire, in fact, the Shili of Hanging Island far surpasses them. As soon as we move our little fingers, everything is messed up here. Since you want peace here, you obviously don't have much choice but to follow our arrangement, otherwise, after you leave, we can't guarantee what will happen to the Egret Island Mainland, and the Xue Linger and Ma Sumin you care about may not end well. ”
"I'll rub it, labor and management hate others threatening me the most, say, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd, can you tell me."
"Don't say I don't know, and even if I do, I won't tell you." Xu Xiaobai, now the pros and cons have been told to you. You can answer me, whether to learn or not to learn. ”
"Heh, do you think I still have a choice? Okay, I promise you. ”
"That's good, by the way, Xu Ping will also stay with you."
Xu Ping and Xu Xiaobai said in unison: "Weishenme? ”
Lylith said, "It's still the same sentence, I don't know. ”
Everything seems very mysterious, Xu Xiaobai has unraveled the essence of the crossing, and now he is thinking about the problem behind the crossing. Well, since someone has come to teach you something, you can also learn it by the way.
The biggest difference between Western magic and Eastern cultivation is that the liliang direction used is different. Xu Xiaobai gradually experienced the wonders of this under the guidance of Lalith. In his body, the magic of the West even dominated for a while, and at the same time, he seemed to have sensed that the pace of learning was a little fast, and the speed was too fast for him to control.
Fortunately, there was a report from the imperial city, saying that after the assistance of Chu Nailan and He Daoshi, Xue Linger finally had Guo Caidie's whereabouts. After hearing this, Xu Xiaobai immediately left with Xu Ping and went straight to the place they said they had found.
From north to south, Xue Linger found that the place where Guo Caidie appeared was actually at the southernmost barbarian tribe. Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping didn't dare to slack off. The wilderness is very different from the Central Plains, and the way people live here is also different from other places. Xue Ling'er's news is that they found that someone who looks like Guo Caidie appeared in Caihua City, a barbarian tribe at the southern end! Caihua City is located in the middle of nowhere, it is indeed difficult to find, and it is said that there is a formation arrangement at the entrance, and ordinary people cannot enter at will. There is also a reason for such an existence, because Caihua City is respected by women, and they have always been indisputable with the world, and they don't like ordinary people to disturb them, so they will arrange the formation, which makes it difficult for people to find.
Xu Xiaobai is accompanied by Xu Ping, so he is naturally not afraid of any formation. After the seven-star staff flew to the southernmost point, Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping saw a very ordinary small village in front of them. Seeing an old man at the entrance of the village, Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, how do you get to Caihua City?" ”
The old man looked at the two of them, but stroked his beard and smiled: "You guys better go back." Colorful Flower City is not so easy to find. ”
Xu Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I have to find Caihua City, please let the old man know." ”
The old man smiled again and ignored the two of them. Xu Xiaobai saw that the old man didn't speak, but also hugged his arm and smiled like an old scholar: "Old man." Is it that people like you who are not masters like to say something that cannot be said directly, and they have to detour. ”
"I'm not a good guy, and I don't beat around the bush. Caihua City is indeed not so easy to get, and more importantly, I don't know how to find Caihua City. ”
Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping had black lines on their faces, so they could only say goodbye to the old man and walk towards the village. The houses in the village are well located and seem to be at the height of their popularity. Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping also stepped forward one after another to inquire about the location of Caihua City, but everyone didn't seem to know. Of course. Some people also reminded the three of them that even if they found Caihua City, it was not a good thing.
A day passed, but the two did not hear any news, and they were helpless. You can only rest at the entrance of the village for the time being. Night is coming. The small village gradually quieted down. In the second half of the night, the figures of two young people quietly appeared.
Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping have secretly followed the residence of the old man in the village, tonight. They were going to test the old man first. Because when Xu Xiaobai was talking to the old man, he already felt that this person was definitely not ordinary.
"It's a misty place, so it's naturally not that simple. And the old man is well hidden, and obviously needs to find a breakthrough in him. Xu Xiaobai smiled, in fact, they had already had this plan.
The old man's residence was at the entrance of the village. After Xu Xiaobai slowly approached, he made sure that the old man was inside.
After using gestures to determine the details, Xu Xiaobai nodded to Xu Ping, and the two entered the room, took out the seven-star staff and were about to wave it towards the old man on the bed.
The moment he was about to touch the old man's head, Xu Xiaobai stopped. They didn't want to kill the old man at all, even if they wanted to see what the old man's strength was. But Xu Xiaobai almost hit the old man's head directly, but the old man was still asleep there and didn't react at all.
"What to do." Xu Xiaobai himself is out of line.
Xu Ping had no choice but to shake his head and say, "It seems that we miscalculated, he is not a master." ”
Xu Xiaobai doesn't care about anything else, his ability is still very easy to perceive the strength of others now, and if he fools others, he may not be able to fool himself, so Xu Xiaobai decided to figure it out. He ran out of the door and simply set a fire first.
Seeing that the fire is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more people fighting the fire outside. Xu Xiaobai asked Xu Ping to withdraw first. The two had just walked out of the door when suddenly a gust of wind blew behind them. Xu Xiaobai was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the seven-star staff and prepared to fight back, but before he could make a move, the old man held a chopstick against his throat. ,
Xu Ping was taken aback, she knew very well how strong Xu Xiaobai's strength was now, and the one who could take Xu Xiaobai down so easily was definitely already at the level of a god.
"Seven Star Staff!" The old man saw the seven-star staff in Xu Xiaobai's hand for the first time. His hand trembled, and he actually took the chopsticks away.
After looking at Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping again, the old man ignored them and rushed out directly to put out the fire.
This old man knows the Seven Star Staff! Xu Xiaobai became more curious about his identity, the two chased after him, and saw that the old man extinguished the fire as soon as he raised his hand.
Xu Xiaobai suddenly asked: "You also said that you are not a master outside the square, you can recognize my seven-star staff at a glance, and you can easily subdue me." Senior, who the hell are you? ”
The old man said: "Who am I, you are not qualified to know, but since you are holding the seven-star staff, it means that you know the witchcraft Taoist?" ”
"The witchcraft Taoist is my master?"
"Oh, I see!" The old man touched his beard and smiled, "In this way, you have some fate with me." Boy, it's not that I don't tell you where Caihua City is, I'm just that you don't have enough ability, and you can't get out of Caihua City when you enter it. I fought you just now, and although it was a fatal move, I also saw that your skills were extraordinary. Presumably also experienced the hanging island. The people who can come down from the hanging island are naturally not to be underestimated. However, this colorful flower city is different from the hanging island. In terms of strength, Caihua City is far inferior to the Hanging Island, but they have their unique existence skills, once you fall into it, you can't get out, but you will lose your life in vain. ”
"I don't care, I have to go, because there is someone I'm looking for!"
The old man said, "I didn't know about your relationship with the witchcraft Taoist before, so I didn't want to deal with you. Now that I know, tell me why you want to go to Colorful Flower City. ”
Xu Xiaobai told the ins and outs of the matter, and a long time has passed, when the old man heard this, his brows immediately shrank, and he stepped forward to choke Xu Xiaobai's pulse, and asked: "You mean, that Lylith taught you Western magic!" ”
Xu Xiaobai nodded: "Yes." And I feel as if the Western magic in my body is trying to suppress the original witch blood in my body. ”
"Boy, you're too daring. If you don't understand what happened, you dare to accept the other party's teaching you Western magic. Do you know who is behind the Hanging Island! ”
Xu Xiaobai shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard from them, that person is called a goddess." ”
"Haha, Goddess! She is also worthy of being called a goddess. The old man was about to say something, when suddenly a strong wind blew, and a woman's voice came in the old man's ear. The voice was the woman behind the Hanging Island.
The woman said, "Heavenly Shadow, Hugh is going to spoil my good deeds, don't forget your original promise." You and I have been in the well for so long, and Hugh wants me to face you squarely. ”
No doubt. Xu Xiaobai went to find Guo Caidie. The direction she had gone must have been told to the woman again, and the woman quickly thought that the Shadow of the Sky was here.
The old man's mouth did not move, but in his heart he spoke directly to the woman: "Narada, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to really make a mess upside down. And it was put into practice. It seems that this jihua. You've been doing this for a long time. And this kid in front of me is an important chess piece for you. ”
"That's nature, he's the key to everything," Narada said. Therefore, you are going to spoil my good deeds. As long as you don't violate my bottom line, you and I will be fine, and if you dare to cross the line, I will not be stingy and fight with you. ”
Tongtian Demon Shadow smiled, "You naturally know that I am not afraid of you. But you know I don't want to get into any more trouble, and I won't reveal your identity. But this kid is related to my old friend, and I want to help him. If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to use the magic crystal to make its magic penetrate your body and become a slave to your Western magic completely, right? ”
"What about a good guess? This magic crystal is not something that ordinary people can absorb, so everything I designed for him now is a process that allows him to gradually inhale magic power. ”
"Don't tell me. That Guo Caidie came here, and he is also one of your jihuas! ”
Narada smiled: "People are not as good as heaven, Guo Caidie can come to me, it was just an accident, but I just took advantage of it." But even if Guo Caidie doesn't come here, I think I will bring Xu Xiaobai here. Because only here, the Western Demon Emperor can't see my moves! ”
"Hehe, you are really a good woman by the Demon Emperor's side! One day, the Demon Emperor was killed, and he didn't know how he died. Haha, I don't care about your business, but I have to give my old friend's favor. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Tongtian Demon Shadow said: "I know you want to manipulate Xu Xiaobai, if I block it, you and I will definitely fight directly, but if I don't care, I can't help but feel sorry in my heart." Therefore, I will inject my mental strength into Xu Xiaobai's body. If he can use my mental strength, it will be his luck to restrain the manipulation of your Western magic in the future, and if not, I will also count my own strength. How everything goes depends on his own luck. ”
Narada thought for a while, knowing that if she even refused this matter, she would definitely turn her face with the old man, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Okay, I accept it." What I did was gambling in the first place, and now it's okay to add a little bit of gambling fun. ”
With that, Narada's voice was gone. The Heavenly Demon Shadow took the opportunity to seize Xu Xiaobai's wrist and injected his mental power into Xu Xiaobai's body, and there was nothing strange about it during this period. After Xu Xiaobai just felt a strange comfort, the old man had already let go of his hand.
"Senior, what do you mean?" Xu Xiaobai asked curiously.
Tongtian Demon Shadow said: "You have encountered a lot of things, it seems that you can't do it without on-demand." Now that I'm here, I won't say much more. Show you the direction of the Colorful Flower City, and you can find it yourself. ”
Immediately, the Heavenly Demon Shadow gave Xu Xiaobai one or two orders.
After knowing the directions, the two continued on the road towards the south. According to what the old man said, as long as they arrived in the Southern Wasteland, Yujian's various formation traps meant that they were infinitely close to Caihua City. The two of them flew, and when Xu Xiaobai and Xu Ping both felt that they were being sensed below, they immediately landed, and they really stood in the barren land, everything in front of them seemed to be empty, and it was indeed a formation arrangement.
"Xu Ping, it's all up to you now."
Xu Ping nodded, pinched his fingers and calculated the essentials of these formations, and said, "This peripheral formation is not too difficult, you follow me, and I will take you in." ”
Xu Xiaobai followed behind Xu Ping, Xu Ping's footwork was light, and he kept changing his walking method. It may not seem like much progress, but with each step, the scenery changes dramatically. After the two walked for a while, Xu Ping finally stopped.
In front of the two of them, Fang was still a barren land, and now it was all a dense forest.
"The outer formation was also broken by me. Presumably, there are still relevant formations in this forest. ”
Xu Ping said that she was going to walk forward again, but this time Xu Xiaobai grabbed her and said: "Now you are very critical, I will definitely not be able to walk half a minute without you, from this moment on, your every move should not leave my sight." Now I'm in front and you're behind. ”
Such an arrangement is also how much to protect Xu Ping. The two walked for a long time, but found that they were very tired from walking all the way, and they just couldn't get out of the woods.
At this time, Xu Ping pinched his fingers again, frowned and said, "Miscalculated, it turns out that there is also a formation here, but it is extremely hidden and not discovered by me." We've been going around in circles in the formation. (To be continued......)
