Chapter 271: Gray Curtain

Ling Xiao and his party looked nervously at the city guards coming and going outside, not daring to make a sound. For fear of being discovered by them and driven out of Shanyang City.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd couldn't hold back and let out a cough. One of the guards turned his head and walked in the direction where they were hiding, as if he had heard the coughing sound just now. The city guard walked to the place where Ling Xiao and his party were hiding, and as soon as he took out his weapon, a city guard came over again and said to the city guard who had just come over: "Xiao Zhang, why are you here? Why don't you patrol in front." ”

This later city guard seems to be a bit higher in rank than the new city guard. Hearing his question, the city guard who came first replied respectfully: "I just heard some noise here, so I came to check if there are any wanderers here, so as not to disturb the rules of the city." Later, the city guard scolded him angrily: "I just checked this area, but you came to check it again, don't you feel that my strength is not good." ”

It turned out that the patrols of the city guards were divided into areas. This is exactly what the later city guard was inspecting. Today the guard did not check, but was lazy on the side. Too scared to be known by the guards in front. I panicked. His seniority was longer than later, so he lost his temper at the city guard without hesitation.

The city guard didn't explain, but just smiled: "In that case, it's also my troubles." I hope you will take a good look at your place, and if nothing goes wrong, then I will leave. Then he turned and went back to the street.

The city guard who came later watched him leave, turned around and walked towards the hiding place of Ling Xiao and the others, "I want to see who dares to hide within my range." Ling Xiao took out his weapon, ready to strike at the guard if necessary. "Meow" Suddenly a cat rushed towards the guard, and it turned out to be straight at the guard's door, but the guard was not slow to react, and as soon as he reached out to block, the cat was stopped.

"What am I supposed to be, so daring, but I turned out to be a cat. This little Zhang is also too much of a fuss. A cat makes him nervous like this, if it really is that day on the battlefield. Don't be scared yet. Hmph, let you influence me again. So he kicked at the cat, and the cat was kicked high and fell to the ground without a sound. The city guard turned around and left the place where Ling Xiao and the others were hiding.

Hiding is the most stressful and boring thing in the world. Ling Xiao and the others kept their nerves tense, watching the patrols of the city guards, ready to escape and counterattack all the time. Some people are in the middle of a long wait, and gradually fall asleep. But Ling Xiao still insisted on waiting, because he knew that the more moments like this, the more he couldn't relax easily. After about half a pillar of incense, the figure of the city guard gradually disappeared. Ling Xiao heard them beckoning each other to go home, and realized that it was the city guards' patrol time that was over.

Ling Tianfang saw that the City Lord Guards had disappeared, and he stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Ling Xiao: "What do you want to do?" "The people of the City Lord Guards have already dispersed, we can't nest in a palm-sized place, right? I want to go out! It's really uncomfortable to be here." ”

Ling Tianfang's scream woke up Zhu Siru, who was already asleep, she picked up her weapon and hit Ling Tianfang, "There is an enemy, run!" Seeing that it was Ling Tianfang who was speaking, Shengsheng stopped his offensive and scolded Ling Tianfang: "What are you screaming nonsense, can't you be quiet?"

When he heard Ling Tianfang explain why he was screaming, Zhu Siru slapped Ling Tianfang with a fierce blow: "Could it be that the people of the city guards won't be there for a while if they are not there now? Are you not wise? Go out now, are you looking for death?" Ling Tianfang hugged his head for a while. Watching the two of them fighting, Ling Xiao's mood relaxed a little, and he stopped the two with a smile.

The streets of Sanyo Castle have finally quieted down, and the evening breeze blows against the city that is facing danger. Occasionally, it brings the song of a nightingale in the distance. Only in a few parts of the city were the lights still flickering, and the lively streets of the day were now quietly moving forward, and even the curtains that usually fluttered in the wind stopped their movements.

At this moment, Shanyang City is so quiet, in front of Ling Xiao's eyes, there is neither blood nor killing, and there is no hasty hiding and displacement. He enjoyed the tranquility of the moment and was reluctant to break it.

The silence was shattered by the sound of armor clashing against each other. Ling Xiao hurriedly held his breath. Gazing intently at the scene in front of you. Hundreds of Sanyang City Praetorian Guards wearing red armor were walking on the streets, and the sound that Ling Xiao heard just now was the sound made by their armor.

They all had weapons in their hands, all of them glowing faintly. Ling Xiao looked at it, and even the worst was a second-grade spiritual weapon. They did not stop in the streets, but rushed towards the city gates. Soon disappeared without a trace.

I don't know what this red-clothed Praetorian Guard is going to do, and it is actually dispatched in the middle of the night. Looking at the stern look on his face, it seems that a lot of amazing things have happened. Looking at the disappearing figure of the Red Praetorian Guard, Ling Xiao stroked his chin and thought.

I thought about it for a while, but there was no conclusion. Ling Xiao was about to leave the hiding place and go outside the city gate to take a look. The guards in Sanyang City reappeared. He hurriedly hid his figure, for fear of being discovered by the city lord's guards and driving himself out.

This time, the people of the city lord's guard did not patrol again, but rushed towards the city gate like the red janissaries just now. After a while, the group of guards came in with something in twos and twos. Ling Xiao looked at it, but it was the group of red-clothed guards who were holding at least second-grade spiritual weapons just now, who were carried in on stretchers by them. The spirit weapon that was still shining in the night just now, at this time, a large part of it had lost its own light and hung quietly in the hands of the people of the city lord's guard. But he has lost his aura and has been reduced to a pile of waste.

Ling Xiao looked at this scene, but thought that it was not just someone who was so extravagant, and he didn't even look at the second-grade spirit weapons, so he damaged them like this. A woman walked up to the side of the city guards, looked at the red janissaries they had lifted, and got busy. The city guards, who were still majestic when they went out just now, are now even more miserable than Ling Xiao and the others who are hiding around. Hideous scars strewn all over their bodies. A lot of people look like they're dying.

The woman walked up to one of the Red Praetorian Guards, whose arm seemed to have been ripped off by something. Hideous flesh was exposed from the shoulder, and the blood was still flowing. The moaning sound of the team member made Ling Xiao a little unbearable, but the woman's face did not change in the slightest, she just looked at his wound, and as soon as her right hand came out, she took out a bottle of elixir, and the pale white powder was sprinkled on the person's injured arm, and the woman used the aura to seal the loss of blood, and turned around and walked towards the next wounded.

Although the woman handled the wounded with neat hands, several Janissaries still lost their lives because they could not control their injuries. Ling Xiao quietly dispersed his spiritual sense, carefully examining the injuries of the injured Red Guards. It's okay not to look at this, but when I saw Ling Xiao, I didn't hold back, and my spiritual sense was almost fluctuating. The wounds of these Praetorian Guards seem to have been inflicted by fierce beasts.

Here I look like I was injured by the claws of an ape, and there are wounds all over my body, and the wounds are turned out, which is exactly what the wounds left by humans after being injured by the fierce ape, and most of the body of the person over there is burned. It is the realization of being burned by a fire fox. Looking at the wounds of these people, it should have been a very fierce fight, but Ling Xiao didn't hear any sound. I couldn't help but be a little surprised. It stands to reason that such a fierce battle should have been heard in the city, why is it so quiet in this Shanyang City.

Ling Xiao looked up at the sky, expecting to see the stars twinkling in the sky, but found that only a black hole was in the sky.

Since Ling Xiao came to Qiankun Prefecture, he has had a habit of looking at the sky, because for some reason, there are stars twinkling in the sky every night in Qiankun Prefecture. Ling Xiao felt that the stars were just like himself, and although there was no light of the moon, they were still twinkling firmly. It never stops. Ling Xiao didn't see the stars in the sky tonight, but he felt a little regretful in his heart. He stared at the stars, hoping to find them in the sky.

As Ling Xiao concentrated on searching, the exercises in his body automatically worked. At this time, Ling Xiao noticed that something was wrong with the sky. Just above Shanyang City, there was a faint gray curtain shrouded in it, rising from the city wall and enveloping the entire Shanyang City, like a mother protecting a baby in swaddling clothes.

Ling Xiao used his skills to the extreme, and when his spiritual sense passed through the gray curtain, he heard the sound of battle, and the deafening sound of battle actually shook Ling Xiao's spiritual consciousness faintly, and there were signs of dissipation. If the consciousness is harmed, it is extremely dangerous. Ling Xiao hurriedly took back his spiritual sense, and as soon as he returned to the interior of the gray curtain, the voice disappeared. Ling Xiao had an idea, and he poked his spiritual sense out of the gray curtain, and sure enough, the sound of battle sounded again, and so on several times. Now Ling Xiao understood. It turns out that there is only one truth of the matter.

Ling Xiao didn't see the stars in the sky today, but it was not because of the weather, but because the sky above Shanyang City was unleashed by an energy enchantment that blocked the vision and hearing of ordinary people, so he couldn't see the stars and couldn't hear the sound of the outside world.

Maybe it's so that the civilians in Sanyang Castle can live with peace of mind. Thinking of this, I thought of the dead and wounded members of the Red Guard. Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh at the good lives of the residents of Shanyang City, there were people who could stop all the troubles for this city for the sake of their stability, at the expense of their own skills. There are even more people who can give their lives for the city.

Ling Xiao didn't know that this enchantment could not only shield the five senses of ordinary people, but even the five senses of all cultivators who had cultivated to the caster, and Ling Xiao could see this gray curtain entirely because of the exercises he had practiced. The practice that Ling Xiao practiced was called Endless Life, and it was the most suitable technique for all things in nature.

Once a cultivator runs this exercise, he will be infinitely in tune with the natural avenue, and the clearer and purer the state of mind, the closer he will be to the avenue. Man's power is limited, but nature is not. All things in heaven and earth are products of nature, and nothing is hidden in the eyes of nature. When Ling Xiao looked at the sky, his mood was extremely calm, the exercises were running on their own, and he was already close to nature, so Ling Xiao would notice the gray curtain in the sky that was almost impossible to discover.
