81_81671 The crowd continued to march forward with the troops of the North Road. The earthy yellow and blue-gray peaks and walls of the mountain receded little by little to the left and right. The people walked out of the mountain road and re-embarked on the road. As far as the eye can see, under the dome, there are large snow-white patches. It was a large area of farmland covered in snow. Further afield, the town surrounded by mountains and farmland is the town of Kapok. At first glance, the houses in Kapok Town are not the same as those in most other parts of the Sanxing Province in the Northwest Territories, which are dominated by simple and heavy blue-gray or black-brown, but a vivid red, like saffron. If you don't look closely, you think that a red flower blooms on the snowfield that will not wither.

Ye Hengyuan was very curious, and involuntarily raised his head and glanced into the distance several times in a row. He had never seen such a small town or village, and for a moment he could not tell what the red was, and the hand holding the reins of the horse shook twice in succession, causing the horse under him to neigh.

"Kapok Town is ahead," Bai Suxin didn't look back, and said lightly, "Kapok is an orange-red flower that grows in a warm or hot climate, and it shouldn't grow in this northwest region. The reason why Kapok Town is called Kapok Town is not because of the plant itself, but because this town once produced a powerful female spirit master two hundred years ago. She was a creation attribute healing spirit master who had cultivated to the seventh order, and was known as the god of healing by the spirit master world of the Cangling Kingdom at that time. Her martial spirit is a healing staff made of eight bundles of kapok branches, and later generations call it the staff of Jishi. She is not only gentle and beautiful, but also kind-hearted, often traveling in the northwest and northern regions of the Cangling Kingdom to treat people for free, curing many terminally ill people, and helping countless soldiers and civilians crippled by war to restore their limbs. Many people loved her and revered her. Her hometown, which was this town, was renamed Jishi Town at that time, and after her death, it was changed to Kapok Town. ”

"Wow!" Ye Hengyuan couldn't help but grow his mouth, "She is the Jishi Medical God that I talked about in the history class of the academy?

"That's right," Bai Suxin nodded, "This is where she used to be. When she was alive, many people came to visit her, and many people wanted to learn from her as a teacher and learn her original medical skills. To this day, there is still a stone statue of her in this town. It's a pity that according to the official records of Cangling Kingdom, she did not leave any descendants, nor did she accept any apprentices. Her original medical skills have not been handed down. Since her death, Kapok Town has gradually declined, becoming no different from ordinary Northwest towns. All that remains is the stone statue and the houses that have been painted or dyed in the color of kapok. ”

"Why didn't she start a sect?" Ye Hengyuan asked, "If she formed a sect, wouldn't it be able to benefit many ordinary people?"

"Not everybody wants to make a difference. ”

It was cold and cold to speak. He inserted himself abruptly into the conversation again, like a reef that suddenly appeared in front of a ship. Lei Xi and Li Wenxin, who were diagonally in front of him, couldn't help but glance back at him.

"Some people just want to live their lives in peace. The cold tone seemed to be talking to himself. He kept his head down and didn't look at anyone at all. Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and no one heard it except for his master and a few other spiritual envoys. The officials leading the team, including Director Yang, all walked in front, and were tightly surrounded by the Guardian Spirit Master, not caring about him at all.

"You're right, Xiao Han," Bai Suxin said, "Our task and mission is to let countless ordinary people in the world live in peace and stability. ”

Ye Hengyuan tilted his head up, looked at the gray sky, and pretended not to hear what Leng Han said. Countless flakes of snow fell through the air, brushing past the tips of his hair, sideburns, and cheeks.

Less than an hour later, the troops on the northern flank reached the northern part of the town of Kapok. Under the command of Director Yang, everyone was divided into different groups according to the original plan of action, changed clothes or makeup, and entered Kapok Town in batches. To round up an evil spirit master like Lingzhi who is good at escaping and concealing, he must be more concealed than her, and he must not be discovered by her, nor can he be discovered by innocent civilians. When a large group of spirit master troops entered a small town like Kapok Town at the same time, it would inevitably release spiritual power fluctuations or breaths that were difficult to hide, at least allowing civilians to discover the abnormality.

Director Yang followed the last spirit master team into Kapok Town. Bai Suxin and the five spirit envoys did not follow them, but waited outside the plain on the northern outskirts of Kapok Town first.

"According to the original plan, the troops on the western side will reach the northwest suburbs of Kapok Town in half an hour to an hour, and divide into two routes on the fork road leading to the northwest suburbs of Kapok Town, and enter Kapok Town from the western suburbs and the northwest suburbs. Fu Guoping and Xie Bao were in the middle of the two teams, and they were guarded by the students sent by the academy. When they begin to enter the city, they will send a fireworks signal to the general. After receiving the signal, the general and the spirit envoys were asked to start entering the city and arrive at their respective positions. ”

"Okay, Director Yang," Bai Suxin nodded in agreement, "If the plan changes, contact with the emergency signal." ”

Director Yang followed behind the spirit master team, rode up the avenue, and walked towards the north gate of Kapok Town. From a geographical point of view, the town of Kapok is located in a small basin, and the three roads leading to it are all downhill, only the roads in the northern suburbs can barely be regarded as large roads - town-level roads, and the roads in the northwest and western suburbs are small roads.

Bai Suxin and the five spirit envoys didn't look for another place to rest, just waited on the road. Everyone was just dressed in robes and looked like ordinary travelers - except for the masks on their faces.

"Children," Bai Suxin said, "before we enter Kapok Town, we must first take off the masks we are wearing. Your current cultivation is not enough to be invisible or change your appearance without releasing spiritual power fluctuations at all, and it is easy for evil spirit masters to detect it. I'll put on the few leather anthropomorphic masks I've been given to you later, so you won't be suspicious. ”

"General Bai, why don't we usually wear this kind of mask?" Ye Hengyuan asked.

"This kind of mask will be very uncomfortable to wear for a long time," Bai Suxin smiled faintly, "It's not good for the skin." But it is effective in concealing your breath. Different missions require different equipment. ”

In less than two minutes, everyone had changed their masks.

"Poof—"

Ye Hengyuan glanced at Leng Han and couldn't help laughing. The "human face" that Leng Han wore looked much whiter and more tender than his own face, like a piece of brine tofu. On top of that, there are two obvious granular black moles near each of the two corners of the eyes, which are very similar to the two cakes in mahjong.

"Brother Ye, are you finally smiling?" The corners of Leng Han's mouth twitched upward, as if he was laughing, "Is it because of the gray marks on your nose?"

"Uh......" Ye Hengyuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether it was better to laugh or not.

Xue Mengyi lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, as if she was going to get into the snow. The first thing she did after putting on the mask was to take a look at the small mirror she had brought with her. After reading it, she had a feeling that she wanted to hide herself.

"Okay, Xiaomeng," Lei Xi raised his hand and patted Xue Mengyi's shoulder, "We're going on a mission, not a beauty pageant, if it's ugly, it's ugly, it's not a big deal." ”

"The eldest lady is the eldest lady after all. Levin's head looked away, not knowing whether he was sighing or mocking.

"Sure enough, it's still a bunch of kids. Bai Suxin couldn't help but be happy.

An orange-red flare rises from the southwest and explodes in the air, releasing a bright red streamer. This red light is not very strong, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see clearly on a snowy day. But for most spiritualists with good eyesight, it is not difficult to see clearly.

"Alright," Bai Suxin turned his head to look, "the time has come." It's time for us to act. Lei Xi, you take Xiaoyuan and Mengyi away first. Xiaohan, Ashin, you two follow me. ”

At the same time, the troops on the western side had just reached the fork in the road leading to the west and northwest sides of Kapok Town. Only part of the troops on the western flank were on horseback, the others were on foot. Fu Guoping and Xie Bao were in the middle of the team, escorted by the cadet team. Neither of them was tied up, and they didn't have shackles on their bodies, but the spiritual veins in their bodies were still sealed, and they couldn't use any spiritual power at all.

Fu Guoping hung his head in frustration and sighed from time to time. Xie Bao was very calm, with no expression on his face, as if he had already seen through everything.

Wang He and Fan Junfeng stood on the left and right sides of Fu Guoping and Xie Bao respectively, using their own spiritual power to suppress the actions of the two. Both of them were covered with a layer of medium-sized armor to prevent them from suddenly causing some accidents. The other male students followed them, and the female students followed the male students. All the other cadets also wore a suit of armor over their uniforms, but they wore light armor.

"Ah......" Ji Chengdong stretched his waist and yawned, "It's really hard...... As soon as he was promoted to a senior cadet, he had to run so far to carry out a mission...... I'm so sleepy......"

Everyone pretended not to hear him. Yuan Guobin, who was riding in front, glared back at him and motioned him to shut up.

"Hey, you say, where have Xiaomeng, Hengyuan, and Leng Han gone these days? Are they going to perform other tasks?" Ji Chengdong continued to say to himself, "Otherwise, why didn't they come?"

"Can you suffocate if you don't speak?" Fan Junfeng was a little impatient, turned his head and glared at Ji Chengdong, his two black eyes as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"I said Junfeng, why are you so angry today?" Ji Chengdong was still heartless, "Is it affected by the prisoner's aura?" or I'll replace you?"

Fan Junfeng turned his head back and ignored Ji Chengdong. Several female students in the back row turned their heads in Ji Chengdong's direction and rolled their eyes at him.

"Report to the chief!" The two soldiers who released the fireworks signal quickly ran back to Sang Guozheng and the two commanders of the security department, "The signal has been sent!

"Very good!" the commander on the left side of Sang Guo waved his hand, "It's time for us to go too!"
