Chapter Seventy-Five: The Real Mission
Stomp, stomp!
The four horses shuttled through the mountains and forests, and Qin Feng once again put on the mask of pain.
Yang He, at the front of the line, seemed to be deliberately slowing down, and it was already getting dark, but they hadn't even finished half the distance.
Due to the discovery of the abnormality of the two, Qin Feng was secretly observing each other all the way, Yang He's route was very careful, he was always mobilizing the yin qi around him, sensing the movements around him.
Zhang Tiannan, who was at the back of the team, kept the golden energy in his body in a state of perfusion all over his body, and his muscles were tense, and whenever Yang He made a move, his reaction was also the fastest.
These two people are obviously guarding against something......
The five of them came to the depths of the mountain forest, surrounded by darkness and towering trees.
Yang He tightened the reins of the horse again, Qianli Ju slowly stopped, and he said: "Everyone, it's not early, take advantage of this effort, we might as well take a break and eat something." ”
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, there is a rule for walking in the mountains and forests, after dark, if you have to stop and rest for a long time, you can't eat.
Because the light of the campfire and the smell of food will attract those mountain spirits and wild monsters, if they stay too long, it is easy to fall into a dangerous situation.
Yang He kicked off the horse, observed the surroundings, he took out four white flags out of nowhere, inserted them in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and then walked to the middle of the formation flag, turned his right hand into a palm, and slapped it to the ground.
The bright green light centered on him and connected to the white flags on all sides, and a formation took shape in an instant.
This is the four-way spirit sealing array of the hundred ghosts and six products, which can beware of ghosts and ghosts, and can also block the perception of most mountain spirits and wild monsters.
Qin Feng's face was ugly, the other party didn't act, is this going to be a showdown?
"Lord Shi, I have been hiding something before, I hope you will forgive me." Yang He clenched his fists and said respectfully.
Shi Ziming was unmoved: "A six-rank peak hundred ghost daoist, a six-rank peak divine martial artist, pretending to be a wooden order demon slayer, fled to Jinyang City when Qi Yuan City needed you the most, and when the people needed you the most.
As you are, you deserve to stay in the Demon Slayer Division? ”
There was an unknown anger under the flat tone, Qin Feng knew that this Lord Si Zheng, who was not serious on weekdays, was really angry.
Cang Fei Lanwu came behind Qin Feng and was on guard.
The atmosphere became tense for a while, and the air was as thick as a quagmire.
Qin Feng's palms were full of cold sweat, he didn't look at Yang He, because as long as he stood beside Shi Ziming, it was impossible for the hundred ghosts' tricks to hurt him.
But he must be careful of Zhang Tiannan, a martial artist at the peak of the six-rank cohesion, at a distance of a few steps, the other party can smash his head in the blink of an eye, just like dealing with the forest python before.
The four horses, perhaps feeling the oppressive atmosphere, stamped restlessly on all fours.
Zhang Tiannan still didn't speak, just held the reins of the horse and stroked the horse's mane.
At this moment, Yang He sighed and broke the silence: "You don't have to be like this, Brother Zhang and I have no malicious intentions, and we didn't rush to Jinyang City to be deserters, but to have an important mission." ”
Shi Ziming sneered: "If you still use the previous incident as an excuse, you don't need to say much." ”
The previous incident naturally referred to the Mind Devouring Gu Disaster, if Yang He and the others really only had the strength of Mu Ling Yixing, it would be understandable to send them to carry out this kind of mission.
But the two masters of the peak of the six grades, if they change to an ordinary small town, they can even become the existence of Si Zheng, which is a rare combat power.
On the premise of knowing that a big war was coming, it was impossible for the high-level leaders of Qi Yuancheng to assign them to leave to carry out such a task that was not a high priority, unless they were having a good brain.
You must know that in that situation, defending Qi Yuan City is the most important thing!
"The matter of the Heart Devouring Gu is naturally just incidental, our real task is to keep one thing, and then send it back safely after the chaos on the armor has subsided."
"What could be more important than the survival of Qi Yuan City?" Qin Feng subconsciously blurted out.
When Yang He heard this, his expression struggled for a moment, until Zhang Tiannan nodded at him, and he said a word: "Zhenlong Monument." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Feng and the three of them looked up at each other.
"But in the morning, you clearly said that the Zhenlong Monument had been plundered by the enemy, could it be ......" Qin Feng seemed to have guessed something.
"The Zhenlong Monument left in the city is fake." The secret that had been hidden in his heart was spoken, and Yang He's whole person looked much more relaxed.
And so it was...... Qin Feng gasped.
I was able to guess in advance that the enemy's target was the Zhenlong Monument, and then the tanuki changed the prince.
Could it be that this is also calculated by the Heavenly Prison National Master?
It's awesome, can I be so awesome in the future...... Qin Feng stroked his chin and thought like this.
With such a task, it also explains why Yang He and the others pretended to be Mu Ling Demon Slayer.
After all, if it were two Qingyu Ling lords who left Qi Yuan City before the start of the big battle, it would be too suspicious, and if the enemy found out, they would definitely chase and intercept them.
But Qin Feng still had a doubt, what was the use of that thing in the Zhenlong Monument, why did the enemy snatch it, and Qi Yuancheng had to fight to protect it?
In the book records, there is only a few words of introduction to the Zhenlong Monument - a treasure weapon to suppress the luck of one party.
And luck, ethereal things, can't be seen or touched, and it's a bit puzzling to be honest.
Besides, luck belongs to one side of the earth, so what's the use of just taking away the Zhenlong Monument?
Qin Feng's brows furrowed, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand.
"Why do you want to come to Jinyang City, wouldn't it be safer to go to other Heavenly Cities." Shi Ziming asked out loud, and there was no anger in his tone.
Qin Feng tilted his head and looked, Shi Ziming knew the importance of the Zhenlong Monument, otherwise his attitude would not have changed so quickly.
Yang He did not hide it: "The Heavenly City closest to Qi Yuan City, even if you hurry up and want to arrive, it will take a day, and the longer the delay on the road, the higher the possibility of accidents, we dare not bet." ”
"Reasonable, but not enough." Shi Ziming did not have full faith.
"The idea of imploring Lord Shi to use the treasure gourd to destroy the Heart Devouring Gu in Qi Yuan River is true, but this is only in passing......
The most important thing is that when Lord Gun Immortal came to Qi Yuan City, he handed over a bag to Lord Si Zheng, which contained only one sentence - take the Zhenlong Monument and go to Jinyang City. ”
Shi Ziming closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, the Lord Si Zheng that Yang Hekou was talking about was naturally not Shi Ziming, but the Si Zheng of Qi Yuan City.
As for that tip, there is a high probability that it is also the handiwork of the Heavenly Prison National Master, but why do you have to go to Jinyang City, will there be an accident if you go to other places?
In other words, how far can the ability of a high-grade scholar and saint Taoist figure go?
Qin Feng fell into deep thought.
