The ferry traveled dozens of miles downwind on the river, and Zhao Hailong, Wang Ling, and Shi Geng gathered around the table in the cabin, watching the Qingzhou map from Du Mingtang.

"According to the exact location pointed out by the old man before his death, the peach forest should be here, but why is it not marked on the map?" Shi Geng tapped the map twice with his index finger.

"Could it be that the person who drew the picture missed it? Or maybe at the time of the drawing, the peach grove didn't exist yet. Zhao Hailong said.

"I think it shouldn't be, you see, even the fish pond has been marked, it is impossible to miss the more large-scale peach forest, the fisherman surnamed Sun said that he heard the old man Cheng mention the peach forest when he was young, and this picture is newly made in recent years, so the second type you said may not exist." Shi retorted.

"This picture is new?" Wang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Zhao Zongqi, didn't you see it?" ”

Zhao Hailong's old face was rarely a little embarrassed: "The map is very important, which depicts in detail the deployment of our army, mountains and rivers and transportation routes, there are only two in Qingzhou City, which are kept by the prefect Lord Cao and our envoys, if it weren't for the fact that this public office involves front-line supplies, I wouldn't have had a chance to take a look, but how do you distinguish between the old and the new?" ”

"It's also a coincidence, not long ago, I knew that our yamen and Sister Xiaoyu had lost contact, and hurriedly ran to find the envoy, when I saw him in the house to watch this picture, out of curiosity, I also took a closer look, it was he who told me that this was a new system, and reminded me to be careful, maybe I was afraid that I would get dirty." Shi Geng explained.

Wang Ling said: "In this case, it seems that the peach forest is even more weird, there must be a cat in it, Mr. Zhao, I implore you to bring a few brothers ashore to investigate." ”

Zhao Hailong pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, but you can only take four, we only brought out a dozen people this time, I can only give you so much." ”

"It's enough, but it's not easy to be found if there are fewer people." Wang Lingdao.

"The rest of us will go to the foot of the fishing village mentioned by the old fisherman, and whatever the outcome, you must be there before dawn to meet us."

The king ordered the head of the jaw.

"I'll go with you." Shi Geng immediately said that he wanted to go together.

Wang Ling shook his head, of course he understood Shi's mood of being more eager to find the missing person, after all, they were all brothers in their second room, but Wang Ling also had his reasons: "You better stay, you can't all put all your eggs in one basket, I may not be able to find any clues here, and the fishing village may be able to find someone inside, if the people there have never seen the fleet, it means that the problem must be in the peach forest, and then you and Zhao Zongqi will bring people to rescue you, rest assured, I will not act recklessly." ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Shi Geng had no choice but to compromise.

As the sun set, taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, Wang Ling led people to row a boat to the shore, as soon as others landed, they looked around vigilantly, Rou Zhao told him that forging the divine realm is the beginning of cultivating divine consciousness, and you can release your qi to perceive everything around you, the higher the realm, the wider and more detailed the scope of perception.

Over the past few days, through the cultivation of the "Law of Yuanyin Zhoutian", he has mastered this skill, only to see Wang Ling close his eyes and concentrate, and it took a while before he opened his eyes.

"No anomalies, keep going."

The four cautious city attendants who followed him nodded silently, and the four figures quickly disappeared into the jungle, Wang Ling was just about to follow, and the corner of his eye suddenly looked at his feet, and the light in his eyes jumped a few times.

Why aren't there peach petal ······ here? Wang Ling looked at the gravel under his feet, and it was said that the river bank here was closer to the peach forest, and more petals should be visible, but there were no traces, which couldn't help but make people wonder.

Suddenly hearing the rustle of leaves in his ears, Wang Ling hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and slowly pressed the saber behind him with his right hand, the blade of which was three inches from the sheath, at this time, a head came out of the grass, which was one of the four city servants who had entered the jungle earlier.

"Wang Ling, why are you still stunned? Hurry up, you're the leader of the squad, they found you out you're not there, and told me to come looking for you. ”

Wang Ling let out a long breath and said, "I'm sorry, I'm coming." After he finished speaking, he jumped into the jungle as he stepped forward, and did not forget to look back at his back, and a faint uneasiness rose in his heart.

On a cliff far from where they landed, two figures stood side by side, one of them looked less than thirty years old, wearing a Confucian crown, a moon-white robe, shaking a folding fan in his hand, smiling and groaning, one was personable, the other was a man with a rickety figure and a lewd appearance, and he looked at it coldly, and thought that he was only a fine mouse, and not far behind the two, there stood a person respectfully, who was the post guard who had been sent to follow the city servant.

"In the end, it came, and the kid who ran at the end seemed to sense something." The Confucian laughed lightly.

The lewd man standing beside him sneered and said disdainfully: "It's just a little minion of the Street Division, there's nothing to worry about, as far as I know, the little flag official of the fifth room of the Qingzhou Street Division has gone out to work, looking at the appearance of this kid when he goes ashore, it should be the Seven Rank Forging God Realm, this kind of mole ant, it is more or less a dead end." ”

"You can't kill them."

"Huh? Why is that? ”

"This team of people is the pawns of the pathfinder, if they are left here and can't go back, Zhao Hailong will definitely notice the strangeness of this place, and when he comes in person, things will be in trouble."

"Humph! Wouldn't it be better to come? The head of a general flag is better than these miscellaneous fish, that's a lot of credit, with the hands of you and me, can you still be afraid of him? ”

"I'm not afraid of Zhao Hailong, but didn't the few city servants we imprisoned say? These people go out to work, and as soon as they pass the message every day, I am afraid that if I kill this general banner, I will recruit Du Mingtang's bastard, the hall master has been planning Qingzhou for many years, if it falls short because of this little thing, you and I have a few lives that are not enough. ”

"Well, knock them out and throw them out."

Confucius glanced at him, his eyes full of disdain: "Is this different from killing them?" No, it's better to tell the squire that there's a problem here. ”

"Kill and can't kill, touch and can't touch, so what do you say?"

Confucius turned his head and said to the post guard behind the two of them, "You provoked the matter, you can do it yourself." ”

"I was already disguising myself as a bandit at the scene, and I didn't expect them to find here, but since I ran an errand, I took care of the aftermath." The postman is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Be smart." Confucius snorted coldly and said: "The illusion of this place is arranged by you, so you will drive people out, and do it secretly, so that they don't see it." ”

The postman gave him a cold look, tapped his head, and turned and left without saying a word.

After he left, the mouse-faced lewd man smiled and said, "This kid seems to be very disdainful of us." ”

Confucius chuckled and said, "After all, he is a person on the black list, and he is only a temporary cooperative relationship with us, so don't you care about these little things?" ”

"Hmph, I heard that Old Ghost Lu was seriously injured by a mysterious person, and the original plan to get rid of Du Mingtang was put on hold, all of which are self-righteous dog things, delaying me and other big things, useless waste!" With that, he spat the ground.

The Confucian scholar smiled but did not speak, his eyes always watching the movements of the servants below.

Wang Ling led people to search in the dense forest, but never saw the so-called peach forest, not even a petal, Wang Ling couldn't help but feel strange, although he slowed down out of caution, but he also walked three or four miles of road, at this time the peach blossoms should be in full bloom, if the petals can be blown to the river surface and drift downstream, there is no reason to not find it here.

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly felt a throbbing in my heart.

This feels... It's the Immaculate Heart that warns you······ Wang Ling immediately realized that this throbbing did not come from his own heart, but from the sea of qi.

He gathered his mind to observe the interior scene, but saw that the colorless and transparent heart was trembling slightly, as if to warn himself of danger ahead.

Wang Ling raised his eyebrows, and was about to remind the four servants of the city, when he suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness hit, he subconsciously covered his forehead, but the strange thing is that he only shook his body a few times, and everything returned to normal, and his hands touched his body for a while, without any discomfort, while the other four people did not seem to be affected in any way.
