Chapter 21: The Mysterious Little Gourd
Tongtian City, as the frontier city of the Demon Heaven Kingdom, has always been a necessary place for armies to go out or return. At this time, the people who saw this army passing by in the streets began to talk.
"It seems that General Long has returned with a big victory, and I am afraid that so much loot can be exchanged for a lot of wealth. ”
"Yes, there are at least a thousand troops here, but each of them has a dozen small gourds. ”
Tianming was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Two big brothers, what kind of small gourd does it seem to be the trophy you are talking about, what does this mean?"
The man glanced at Tianming in surprise, and then asked vigilantly, "You are not from the Demon Heaven Kingdom?"
Tianming also secretly regretted it when he heard it, and he was a little reckless. Then he explained: "I was born in the mountains since I was a child, and I have never been to the city, so I don't know much about these things. ”
The man looked Tianming up and down, at this time Tianming had a short beard, and the clothes on his body were even more tattered, and they were dirty and could not be seen from their previous color. Seeing this, the man also believed most of Tianming's words.
The man first said to himself, "I don't think it should be people from other countries, how can there be people from other countries in the Demon Heaven Kingdom." ”
After muttering to himself for a while, the man explained to Tianming: "Actually, this has almost become common knowledge among the people of the Demon Heaven Kingdom, you are right, the small white gourd in the hands of those soldiers is the most important trophy brought back by the army. There's no way to know what's inside. It's just that those small gourds were still transparent before they went to battle, but they turned white every time they returned. As long as these small gourds are offered to the king, the king will give them a corresponding reward. ”
Tianming thanked him and walked towards Bingning. Bing Ning saw him walking towards him, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"Oh, it's fine. Let's find a place to rest, I have something to tell you. ”
The two eventually found an inn and stayed there temporarily.
"Bingning, I heard some strange news today. ”
"What's the news? ”
Tianming told Bing Ning what he had heard before.
Bingning was also very puzzled after hearing this.
"Well, it's really strange, the most important thing is what is in that mysterious little gourd. ”
"The man said that there was no way to know what was inside, and that it was only the soldiers, or the generals who led the troops in battle, and then the king. ”
The two discussed for a while, and finally decided to infiltrate the barracks of the soldiers they had seen during the day at night.
Time flies, and soon it is night, and during this time, the dawn has recovered most of it, but the main thing is that I am a little mentally tired, which requires a long time of rest.
At this time, in the icy room, the two were still making the final discussions, and at this time, both of them had freshened up and changed their clothes, and they no longer looked like wild men.
"Tianming, to be honest, I didn't understand why I suddenly told you so much, and finally put you in the water. But now if you want to quit, it's too late, otherwise it will be difficult for us to avoid not harming those ordinary people in the future, and then we really can't turn back. ”
"Don't worry, I did it willingly, and I don't plan to turn back. ”
Bing Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, and then said, "The regulations of the cultivation realm you mentioned before are actually limited. As far as I know, the monarchs of any country on the continent actually have cultivators as their backers, and they also interfere in the affairs of the world, but they are not opposed. It's just that those cultivators won't participate in the military battles between the two countries. ”
After hearing this, Tianming couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What else can those cultivators do?"
"Protecting the safety of some high-ranking officials can also play a deterrent role. Some monks will also help* to train soldiers, and although they can't let soldiers practice, they can also use some of their own unique methods to make soldiers stronger, more agile, and so on. ”
Tianming couldn't help but think of Li Tianba at this time, he had heard others tell him that Li Tianba was a member of the Li family in the capital, and the Li family was the right-hand man of the royal family, and it was also the Xiuzhen family. From this point of view, it seems that the regulations of the cultivation realm are not actually meant to restrict all monks. Maybe it's just to prevent those who kill innocents indiscriminately.
Gradually, the night was getting deep. The two quietly left the inn. Bing Ning had already inquired about the stationing place of that team, and after half a pillar of incense, the two of them stopped and had already arrived at the outskirts at this time. In the distance, there are military camps, and at the same time, you can see several small teams of more than a dozen people constantly patrolling.
Tianming and the two quietly leaned towards the barracks.
"What now?"
Tianming asked in a low voice.
"Grab a soldier and ask first. ”
As he spoke, Bing Ning continued to bend forward, and at the same time, the long whip was also held in his hand. Seeing this, Tianming could only hurriedly follow.
The two of them were only a dozen meters away from the barracks at this time. Bing Ning suddenly whispered to the long whip in his hand, "Go." ”
As the sound of ice condensation fell, the long whip in her hand crawled towards the opposite military camp like a spirit snake.
A group of soldiers was passing by, and the whip was wrapped around the last soldier and quickly froze so that it didn't make a sound. Then the whip flew back with the soldier towards the ice.
Tianming couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, it turned out that this was the legendary Lingbao, and it was really powerful and smart enough. I didn't expect it to be okay.
It seems that all the actions have been planned for a long time, not only did they easily bring back one person, but they were not discovered by others, what a powerful spiritual treasure.
Bing Ning smiled proudly when he saw this, and at the same time said in a low voice: "My spirit treasure is quite special, and ordinary spirit treasures can't do this at all." ”
As she spoke, she touched the long blue whip lovingly.
Tianming looked down at the soldier who had been frozen into ice sculptures, and couldn't help but ask helplessly, "How do you ask this?"
When Bing Ning heard this, she hurriedly looked down, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Why did I forget this stubble." ”
Tianming almost exclaimed in surprise when she heard this, and Bing Ning hurriedly covered her mouth when she saw this. After glancing at Bai Tianming, he said: "Just kidding, what are you anxious about, let's stay away from here first." ”
So saying, he led the soldier and retreated to the rear.
Away from the barracks, the ice froze a little on the ice sculpture, and the ice on the soldier's body disappeared directly.
When the soldier woke up, he immediately looked around and asked blankly, "Where is this? Why am I here?"
Bing Ning replied with a smile: "We arrested you, if you don't want to die, answer my question well." As he spoke, Bing Ning snapped a nearby tree with a wave of his hand.
The soldier immediately realized that the other man did not seem to be an ordinary person.
