Chapter 275: Tracking

Ling Xiao's epiphany also took a long time, and the scene of the fight between the city lord and the boy evolved in his heart. There has been some change in mood. By the time he opened his eyes, the battle was over. Only a few of the city guards were left to clean up the battlefield outside.

The city guards carefully identified the corpse-strewn battlefield, carefully collecting any traces of life left by each member of the Red Praetorian Guard, and bringing them back to Shanyang City to their families. The beasts are also searching for the corpses of their companions, trying to find one or two living companions and bring them back to their territory.

The figures of beasts and tigers that were still on the battlefield just now are lying quietly on the ground at this moment. The one over there was the corpse of the fierce beast black beast, he was originally a fierce beast around the boy, and then he joined the battle, when the member of the Red Praetorian Guard said that he would use the sword in his hand to take his life.

The black beast didn't pay attention to the man's words at the time. At this time, it was already broken into several pieces. It was neatly placed there. It seems that the sword called the beast slashing has really cut him off.

In one corner of the battlefield, there was a stone statue of a woman who stayed quietly, and Ling Xiao remembered that it seemed to be the place where the beautiful nun fought Medusa. At that time, the song broke through the array, but it caused thousands of pride in Ling Xiao's heart, and there was still a touch of style at the last glance, Ling Xiao still remembered.

But now the person who plays the piano has lost his life, leaving only the piano in his hand, still clanging in the wind, as if he is singing a lament of life for its owner. The woman's stone statue was carefully moved back by a guard. When the guard saw the statue's appearance, he was shocked. Tears almost fell. Maybe the two actually had an unknown past before, these are already outsiders, so I won't delve into them.

Time flowed slowly like this, and the people of the city lord's guard could not find any sign of the red-clothed janissaries among the corpses all over the ground, and slowly walked back to Shanyang City, just after the last city guard walked in, the gate of Shanyang City slowly closed, only to hear a sound, and the water in the moat that suddenly appeared before did not know when it slowly disappeared, revealing a large area of the corpses of fierce beasts.

The riverbed slowly moved up to ground level. As if it had never appeared, only the whitened corpses blistered seemed to tell people that there had been a moat that had devoured the lives of countless ferocious beasts. It turned out that this sudden moat actually came from like this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh at the ingenuity of the person who designed this mechanism, this person must be an amazing person.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the city lord of Shanyang City had already disappeared, and the young man also beckoned the fierce beasts to leave the battlefield. The beasts surrounded the boy, surrounded him in the center, and slowly walked towards the forest, disappearing one by one.

Ling Xiao watched the movement of the fierce beast group, his eyes slipped to the young man in the center, and he was surprised to find that this young man actually wrapped himself in animal skin at this time, and the whole person disappeared at the bottom of the animal skin, if it weren't for Ling Xiao's sharp eyes, he might not be able to find his figure. Ling Xiao thought to himself, could it be that he was injured while fighting with the city lord, so he looked at it carefully.

After careful observation, Ling Xiao found that the young man did not have any traces of injury, and he was very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this young man's strength was so strong, and he could withdraw intact under the hands of the city lord of Shanyang City. Sure enough, he is a very powerful person, and I don't know that I will be able to become as strong as him until that day. Ling Xiao looked at the figure of the young man, and he didn't understand it in his heart. Since the boy was not injured, why did he wrap himself in animal skins?

The sky was a little brighter again, and a mischievous ray of light jumped into the dark place where the boy had been. Sensing the coming light, the young man screamed, wrapped the animal skin a little tighter, and urged the beast under him to get out of here quickly.

This young man was actually a little afraid of the light, Ling Xiao thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion. But I don't know why there are still people who are afraid of the light, even the beasts have never been afraid of the light. What is the reason why this young man can command these fierce beasts? Is this necessarily related to his fear of the dark?

Ling Xiao stood up and leaned against the city wall, observing the land after the war. The battlefield that had been unusually noisy just before the half-pillar incense had now become very silent. It used to be a green meadow, but now it has lost its previous color.

During the battle, the fierce battle between man and beast left the land scarred. Even the dirt is now a bright red color. The corpses of those who had died in the war were lying quietly on the ground. A gust of wind blew, but the flags that were still flying before no longer stretched their posture. The coolness of this place is telling Ling Xiao about the damage caused by this war.

The arrival of life is so difficult, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred, people come to the world and are afraid of aging, so Xiuzhen, after thousands of years of suffering, will still die. So what is the point of cultivating the truth? Looking at this battlefield, for a moment, Ling Xiao's heart was shaken by the path he had chosen.

I have cultivated for the sake of everything I cherish, and this life is inherently mortal, and this is inevitable. Ling Xiao, who was aware of the demons in his heart, hurriedly settled down, so that nothing went wrong. This war made Ling Xiao doubt his future, and it also made Ling Xiao strengthen his beliefs. Only by cultivating hard can you get the best protection for what you hope for, where you care.

Ling Xiao felt that his inner demons were surging, and after pressing back hard, he also secretly said in his heart: "It seems that there are many martial arts that I have cultivated, but none of them are used to major in cultivating the mind, my obsession, my violent spirit, and my various thoughts will become things that hinder my progress." ”

It seems that you have to cultivate your mind well in the future, but if you continue like this, it will definitely be a great obstacle to your future life path.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao turned his head to the ground again to look at the past, and the blood of the place reflected in his eyes again, Ling Xiao sighed lightly, life in the world, there is always a destiny.

It's just your own destiny, and you have to master it yourself.

War is indeed the most cruel thing, Ling Xiao sighed in his heart. Quietly slipped down the city wall and took a closer look at this post-war land. The closer you get to the battlefield, the more you can experience this sad mood, the wind at night blows gently, and only Ling Xiao is a living person left on the huge battlefield at this time.

Closing his eyes, Ling Xiao seemed to be able to hear the dead souls telling him about his past and present lives. He was moving little by little through the cracks formed by the corpses. All the way to the place where the young man was standing. Looking at the battlefield from this vantage point, there is a different feeling.

A strange fragrance slowly emanated from the place where Ling Xiao was standing now, and it seemed to be the smell left by the young man. It's a strange scent, and no spice has ever tasted like this. I don't know why. Ling Xiao always felt that this fragrance was somewhat familiar.

I seemed to have smelled this fragrance somewhere, so I sniffed it vigorously a few more times. The thick fragrance entered Ling Xiao's nasal cavity, and Ling Xiao, who was not prepared at all, was stimulated to sneeze several times in succession. Suddenly, he remembered why the scent felt so familiar. It turned out that he had indeed smelled it before.

When Ling Xiao and the others obtained the Qiankun Seal before, they had smelled this strange fragrance in that place. It came from a foggy and confused place, and Ling Xiao felt that place was too weird at that time, and he had other worries in his heart. I didn't look deeper. Now that he smelled this fragrance again, now Mo Lanxi and the others are in a relatively safe place, so there is no need for Ling Xiao to worry. He suddenly felt the urge to go and see it.

Since last night, Ling Xiao has had doubts in his heart, why this Shanyang City prevents anyone from going out late at night, and why every building in Shanyang City is protected by a layer of gray curtains. No one in Sanyo City has ever mentioned this, is it true that no one has ever found out about it?

Because they're used to it. And this inexplicable battle that happened outside Shanyang City, why did that young man command the fierce beast to attack here? and he was not even afraid of sacrifice to attack here. What is the Ten Thousand Words Beast in the young man's mouth? Looking at the firmness of this prohibition in Shanyang City, could it be that this war actually happens every night?

These questions were tightly entwined in Ling Xiao's heart, scratching at his heart. If Ling Xiao can't get to the bottom of it, these questions will become obstacles to Ling Xiao's future cultivation. Ling Xiao remembered the young man's behavior when he saw the fierce beast in his arms before, and he seemed to be very interested in this little beast. It must all have something to do with that weird place. After thinking about it again, Ling Xiao finally made a decision to go to that place alone to explore the truth, so as to solve the doubts in his heart and leave no regrets for his future practice.

Once he decided to move forward, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated, and immediately walked towards the strange valley at that time, the sky was still a little dark, and Ling Xiao was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly on the road alone. If you see something interesting, you will stop and observe it for a while before moving on.

The sky gradually brightened, and Shanyang City finally saw the first rays of dawn today, a small grass stubbornly drilled out of the land full of blood, just like a transformation, with the appearance of the first grass, the land full of corpses quickly grew a lot of grass.

The grass quickly disintegrated the corpses of those fierce beasts and distinguished them. Turning them into nourishment for itself, and a part of the earth. By daybreak, the outside of Sanyo Castle had returned to its usual scene, the green grass was dancing in the sunlight, and the battle of last night seemed as if it hadn't happened.

Ling Xiao finally walked to the forest at dawn, he recalled the place where the valley was for a while with his memory, brushed aside the weeds around him, and walked to the left. After crossing a small stream and passing by several huge plane trees, a place shrouded in white mist appeared in front of Ling Xiao's eyes. That strange fragrance came from the fog, and Ling Xiao finally arrived.
