Chapter 679: The Last Journey of the New Year's Ceremony
It's not far from the official office, and as soon as I heard that the "big monster with a volute on its back" appeared, the speed at which the official messenger rushed over was simply record-breaking.
The leader stood on the edge of the wooden board and looked at it, the sweat of his palms came out, and he quickly turned his hair to give orders:
"Let the sorcerer arrange the escape spell to be forbidden, hurry, hurry!"
Isn't this the legendary snail toad that brought disaster to Chiyan? It actually appeared in the Spiritual Void, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
As long as you catch it, the dragon will come!
They brought several magicians with them, and when they heard the order, they dispersed and went to the four corners of the warehouse to bury the tools.
I heard that this big monster has done a good job, so let's scrap its signature skill and turn it into a turtle in an urn!
There are seven or eight versions of the Snail Toad in Spiritual Void City, but unfortunately, none of them can encompass all of its skills, such as those specific to frogs and chameleons-
Long tongue curl shot!
The official leader shouted a few words to his subordinates at the top of his voice, and just after the task was arranged, suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air from behind.
Before he could react, he was swept back.
The snail toad thought he was too noisy, and he flicked his tongue in front of everyone's eyes and rolled him back, and he was bored!
The distance between the two was two feet away, and the toad's tongue broke two planks when it popped out.
This speed breaks people's stereotype of snails being slow.
Seeing that this thing actually had a long-range attack skill, the surrounding crowd screamed and fled in all directions.
The snail toad smacked its mouth, as if it had a reminiscence, before plunging headlong into the ground and disappearing without a trace.
The sorcerer's forbidden circle was not set up, and the prey slipped away.
One person died in the line of duty.
After nightfall, Nanxinzhuang is still brightly lit.
Bai Sha's demon killer actually appeared in Lingxu City, such a sensational news was spreading, and the Southern City Department immediately mobilized all its forces to interrogate every eyewitness.
The children had long since run away without a trace, and Sister-in-law Liu, as the first discoverer, was repeatedly questioned.
"My lord, I've said it several times!" She cooperated obediently at the beginning, to a dry mouth, to a little impatient, "I don't know when that monster came, anyway, it was lying in the warehouse when I saw it." I accidentally touched the board, and when it turned around, it still had something in its mouth! It seems to be grass, or herbs. ”
The official showed her the herbs: "Is this herb, are you sure?" ”
"Probably right?" Sister-in-law Liu scratched her head, "I'm not a doctor, how can I recognize it so carefully?" Isn't it everywhere in the warehouse? ”
"What kind of goods does this white pine warehouse usually load?"
"I don't know. Usually a car comes, a car goes, who cares about this? Sister-in-law Liu was at a loss, "It didn't invite me to go in to guard the nursing home." ”
It makes sense, so the official took back a few of the guys who were in the hospital and interrogated them strictly.
These guys were scared and said that they had never seen a snail toad. When it rained, they all slept in the house, unaware that such a behemoth had entered the courtyard.
"What's the matter with the prunella in the warehouse, and where did it come in?"
"That's it...... Goods. "They only take care of loading and unloading, guarding the yard of the house, and can they still care about where the owner's house buys the goods from?
In the end, the steward of the White Pine Warehouse was also found.
He flatly denied that the warehouse stored prunella, but the list that the official found in the warehouse clearly stated:
"Prunella vulgaris, 1,300 catties,...... Storage. ”
The date of entry and the origin of the herbs were wet with water, and the ink was a ball of ink and unknown.
Involved in the elixir case, the Nancheng Department did not dare to delay and reported it quickly.
The efficiency of handling such a big and important case is considerable.
Soon, the owner behind the White Pine Warehouse was also found out, and it was actually the general of the Kite Kingdom and the general of Xunzhou Munian!
……
Before dawn, the New Year's Mansion ushered in an uninvited guest:
Ting Lieutenant Huo Ji'an, Du Yun envoy Bai Ziqi, and their heavily armed team.
I have always had the habit of getting up early for the New Year's Praise Ceremony, and just after washing up, I received the news that two adults came to the door, and my heart couldn't help but chuckle.
How are these two?
It has never been a good thing for Tingwei to come forward, let alone make Du Yun.
I didn't dare to slack off in the New Year's Praise Ceremony, and went out to greet each other: "Bai Du Envoy, Master Huo, what kind of wind blew you two here?" ”
Huo Ji'an asked him: "The white pine warehouse in Nanxinzhuang, is it yours?" ”
“…… I bought it at the beginning of the year. "The heart of the New Year's Praise Ceremony sank. The house on Xiangmai Street had an accident a few days ago, and the official family had already come to look for him once, and he felt abnormal at the time, but no one came to look for him later, and now this is?
He cautiously asked, "What happened to the White Pine Warehouse?" ”
"Nian, please come with us." Bai Ziqi smiled, "Let's talk slowly on the way." ”
"Huh? This? ”
The silent Heavenly Palace guards immediately surrounded them.
There were few people in the early morning, but there was such a big battle outside the Nian Mansion, and the pedestrians still stopped.
There is a restaurant inn in the neighborhood outside the Nianfu, and the business hours are all night.
He Lingchuan sat by the window on the second floor, drinking wine and eating side dishes, and took in the scene that happened below.
He came at night, to get to a great vantage point, in order to see the bustle of this stubble.
Although the light was dim, with his eyesight, he could clearly see that Nian Zanli was surrounded by the Heavenly Palace guards, and the expression on his face changed from dazed to shocked, and then from shocked to confused.
Bai Ziqi still saved him some face, and found a carriage to invite him to sit down.
Nian Zanli seemed to be a little excited, but Captain Ting stepped forward and said a few words to him, Nian Zanli was like a deflated ball, and he turned around and boarded the carriage three times in one step.
Then the carriage moved slowly and headed northeast.
The guards surrounded it in the middle, and the momentum was huge.
He Lingchuan shook his glass and toasted it with a glass of wine: "General Nian, go all the way." ”
He came to send the New Year's salute, and he saw the carriage rolling as he wished, taking away all the ambitions of the New Year's salute.
In another hour, it will be sunrise, and he hopes to enjoy the New Year's Celebration as soon as possible.
Perhaps, I won't see the sunrise for the rest of my life.
Whether it is the prison of heaven or the prison of the heavenly palace, it seems that there is no light of day.
"The big trouble of the kite country has been solved, congratulations." The Soul Mirror in his arms smiled, "Can he still come out?" ”
"I guess not." He Lingchuan's mood also relaxed.
Once targeted by the Heavenly Palace, the New Year's Praise Ceremony will also shed its skin if it does not die. Want to attack the country of kites? Oh, he'd better take care of his own life first.
"Since he is bent on recognizing Bega as the Lord, then the thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, and he has to bear them."
The Soul Mirror sighed: "You cleaned up the New Year's Gift, and you blocked the catastrophe for the Kite Country." It's a pity that the kite country doesn't know anything about it! ”
The New Year's praise ceremony borrowed troops, and the success was successful, and the kite country also avoided more than one military disaster.
For this weak country, it may be able to survive for a few more years.
"It's fair that this trouble started and went away because of me. What's more, I don't care if the kite country knows it or not. He Lingchuan raised his head and swallowed the wine in the cup, threw down a silver ingot, and got up to leave.
Of his four major tasks in Lingxu City, he had already completed two of them on time.
Next, he has to go all out for the Xushan plan!
……
Tourists who have been to the Heavenly Palace will listen to the tour guide to mention that there is also a prison on the Tianshu Peak, and the wicked who offend the gods are imprisoned here, called the Yang Palace.
Its location is behind the Star Picking Tower, idlers are not allowed to approach, but it is actually a cavern-type prison made of hollowing out the belly of the mountain, and there is only one passage in and out.
Of course, the Bega gods have a relatively broad definition of the word "offense", and the common people usually say a few disrespectful words, but people ignore them, after all, Lingxu City focuses on a free atmosphere. But if you take action, you may be held accountable.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Yang Palace, it was said that all living beings were equal in the eyes of the gods, so all prisoners were treated equally regardless of rank.
But as time passed, there was still a gap between the prisoners, after all, some crimes were heavier, some had more secrets, and some were ...... The real identity is higher.
So after so many years, the prison of Yanggong is actually divided into several levels.
The highest-level cell is in the deepest part of the Yang Palace, and you can actually see the light of day, but it is not by the air window. After all, there are many strange supernatural powers in this world, and it is not uncommon to escape through a palm-sized empty window.
It is separated from the outside world by a large glazed window, and the sky light can easily penetrate in, and the prisoner can even see the magnificent mountain scenery behind the Tianshu Peak when he sits behind the window.
Of course, this kind of treatment is not available to ordinary prisoners.
The person who lives in this cell now is Qingyang National Teacher.
She is a top felon, enjoying a single view cell of thirty square meters. Although this is the deepest part of the Yang Palace, with the unique watery smell of the cave, the ground is not damp at all. The prison had been cleaned before she could enter, and there was no sign of rat fleas.
No matter what the reason, even if Qingyang National Teacher is in prison, the treatment is different.
After being sent here by Lingxiao Palace, Qingyang National Master explained to the Heavenly Palace one by one according to what she had discussed with the Demon Emperor.
Over the years, how to hunt demons, how to refine elixirs, and how to rely on Qingfu Temple to sell, she has told the truth.
What Tiangong wanted to know was nothing more than two things, one was the source of divine blood, and she pushed it towards Dong Rui.
The second is the customer who buys the elixir, and the Qingyang National Master only said that the account book has been destroyed in the fire of Qingfu Temple, and no one has backed it up.
Other than that, she didn't say a word.
She was sent by the emperor himself, and the Heavenly Palace knew very well that there must have been full communication between the two. Qingyang Guoshi said that the account books are gone, that is, they are gone, and they cannot be recovered.
Because her identity is really special, and she has weight in the emperor, the Heavenly Palace did not punish her.
No matter how turbulent it is outside, the inside of the palace is always lifeless and isolated from the world.
In the afternoon, the attendants of the Heavenly Palace came to deliver food.
He had to deliver it to the door, and the food box had to be collected and inspected by the guards to make sure that there were no illicit goods or notes before they were given to the prisoners.
"Qingyang National Teacher, it's time to eat."
The guard checked that it was correct, and then opened the small door and stuffed the food box inside.
