Chapter II
When there were still three miles away from Luqi Town, the void in front of the carriage moved slightly.
Zhou Zheng hurriedly pulled the reins and motioned for everyone to stop.
I saw Fushun Zhenjun Hao Shuo appear in front of him with two envoys.
"Brother, brother accuses! This is official business, and you need to delay my brother for a while! Hao Shuo smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
"What did Brother Hao say? Whatever you command. Zhou Zheng also hurriedly dismounted to meet Hao Shuo.
"That's right, a few days ago, the wolf plain suddenly disappeared."
"What? That wolf plain on the side of the mountain behind Maisendai? Gone? How did it disappear? Zhou Zheng's face was full of surprise.
Hao Shuo secretly looked at it and found that Zhou Zheng's expression was indeed the first time he heard this, and he couldn't help but let go of most of his heart. He was really afraid that this matter had something to do with Zhou Zheng, and that would be troublesome!
"No one knows exactly how it disappeared. Now the division is investigating. No, brother, I'm here uninvited! ”
Zhou Zheng was quite surprised, "Brother Hao means to suspect that I have something to do with the disappearance of the wolf plain?" ”
"No, no, no!" Hao Shuo waved his hand again and again, "How could you have something to do with it?" I'm here this time to ask for a few words. ”
"Pardon?" Zhou Zheng quietly pulled Hao Shuo to turn his back and asked secretly, "Does this pardon have anything to do with the disappearance of the wolf plain?" ”
"I don't know. It's just that I heard that this Ying Yu once stayed in the Wolf Plain, maybe, he will know something. Hao Shuo also lowered his voice.
"Brother Hao, tell me the truth, what's going on with this wolf plain? Why is it gone, and the division attaches so much importance to it? I actually sent you, the true king, out of the horse! ”
"I don't know the specifics," Hao Shuo lowered his voice, "I heard that there is an elixir in the Wolf Plains that can help ascend to the Flying Immortal!" Nie Shan, you know, right? What did he do when you were separated from him before? He had just entered the Heavenly Rank, and in just one year, he had already been promoted to the first level of the Immortal Rank! It relies on the elixir obtained from the wolf plain! ”
"What? Nie Shan is now an immortal rank? What about the head of the wonderful color? Zhou Zheng deliberately looked surprised.
"Alas, don't mention it. Miaose, such a handsome little lady, died of illness! ”
"What?" Zhou Zheng instantly changed from surprise to sadness.
"Brother, mourning!"
"I have to rush back to Maisendai!" Zhou Zheng had tears in his eyes, and he was already sad.
"Never! Look at my mouth," Hao Shuo slapped himself gently, "The master asked me not to tell you, you see, I still said it!" But, brother, it's a big deal! The master specially explained that he would send someone to go back to Mai Sendai to worship on your behalf! You must concentrate on going to Kunlun to participate in the recruitment competition! This is the Master's command! ”
"But..."
"Brother! Listen to me! A gentleman is not informal, and he must focus on the overall situation! Besides, if you insist on going back, doesn't it mean that you will sell me? You also think for your brother! ”
Finally, under Hao Shuo's bitter reassurance, Zhou Zheng's heart to go back to worship was dispelled.
Zhou Zheng actually expected this to be the case, the main reason why he was so rambling was to buy time for Yingyu to deal with it, so that Yingyu could adjust his state and open his eyes and talk nonsense!
After a while, Zhou Zheng's mood calmed down, "Just now Brother Hao said that Nie Shan stepped into the immortal level with the elixir?" He said it himself? ”
"How could he say that? He doesn't admit that there is such a thing as an elixir! He said that the reason why he was able to succeed was completely because Miaose passed on all his skills to him through secret methods before he died! There is also credibility in this matter, you have been in Maisendai, you should know it. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded very honestly, "I know that Master Miaose has indeed cultivated a secret method of dual cultivation. ”
Hao Shuo shook his head helplessly, "However, the master doesn't believe it. I don't know where the master got the news, he is sure that there is an elixir! No, send me to investigate! ”
"If that's the case, Brother Hao just check! How do you need me to cooperate? ”
"Then my brother is offended! In fact, there is no need for anything, the master has given a magic weapon, and he needs to check them all once, and the things in the car must also be checked. ”
"Test? Do we still have a magic weapon in our department that can detect the elixir? Zhou Zheng pretended to be curious and asked, in fact, he was very concerned about this issue in his heart.
"It's not! It's a test of the wolf's plain! ”
Zhou Zheng deliberately showed a confused expression, "Wolf Yuan? I've been there too, and that place is so big, how can it be in my car? What's the test? ”
"Brother, you don't know. The wolf is a magic weapon! Seeing Zhou Zheng's disbelief, Hao Shuo added, "Otherwise, how could it disappear in vain?" That's a magic weapon of the fairy world! Our magic weapon, as long as we encounter the magic weapon of the fairy world, it will become brighter! ”
Zhou Zheng pretended to be suddenly enlightened, but he was uneasy in his heart. The mustard seed space was in the sachet he was carrying, and he was really afraid that the magic weapon in Hao Shuo's hands would suddenly light up.
"In that case, Brother Hao will start investigating!" Zhou Zheng made a calm posture, "Be the first to check me first!" ”
Hao Shuo pulled him aside, "What are you kidding?" Brother, I still can't believe it? I'm very sorry about this today! When you return triumphantly, I will ask you to drink wine and make amends! ”
Zhou Zheng said a few more polite words. The two of them chatted on the side, and after the two envoys who came with Hao Shuo got their consent, they offered a double-sided mirror to illuminate the other people and vehicles.
After a long time, the two-way mirror did not respond at all. Hao Shuo was slightly disappointed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. He's really afraid of finding something, it will be too tricky!
"Demon Monarch Forgiveness, Ben Zhenjun has a few words to ask you!"
Now that Ying Yu has returned to a calm state, he is neither humble nor arrogant and stepped forward, "Zhenjun, please ask!" ”
"Have you been to the Wolf Plain?"
Ying Yu hesitated slightly, but quickly replied truthfully, "I've been." ”
"Why did you go?"
"My brother Navyo was injured by Maisendai Design, and he wants revenge, so he invited me over."
"How long have you been there?"
"It's about half a year. After that, my brother died, and the Seven Great Factions reconciled with Wolf Yuan, and I left. ”
"Do you know the mistress of the Wolf Plain?"
"Mistress? Does Zhenjun mean my younger siblings? ”
Hao Shuo couldn't figure this out. Miaose, who knew about Lanqin's existence, was dead, and the few leaders who participated in that war were also dead. Under Zhou Zheng's deliberate concealment, there is no official record of Wolf Yuan. Therefore, except for Zhou Zheng and a few people, whether private or official, no one knows the specific information of Lanqin.
"I guess so! What's her name? ”
Ying Yu's face was angry, "Zhenjun, that's my brother's wife, how can I inquire about the name?" It's true that we are demons, but we also know how to count etiquette! ”
What Ying Yu said was reasonable, but Hao Shuo was stunned.
"So, what does she look like?"
Ying Yu forcibly suppressed her anger, "I have only met my younger siblings a few times in Wolf Plain, and every time we meet, she covers her face with a light veil. I don't know what she looks like! ”
Hao Shuo couldn't fully believe the words of forgiveness. However, looking at Ying Yu's expression did not look like a fake, he was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Don't be angry with the Demon Monarch, I'm also routine." Hao Shuo smiled to ease the embarrassment, "So, when the Demon Monarch was in the Wolf Plain, had you heard of the elixir?" ”
"Elixir?" Ying Yu also pretended to be puzzled.
"It is an elixir that can improve cultivation, an elixir that can make people step into the first level of the immortal level, or even a higher level!"
Ying Yu suddenly smiled, "True Monarch, if there is such an elixir, my brother will be trapped at the peak of the Heavenly Rank for so many years?" In the end, he was killed by Dao Ruin? If there is such an elixir, he will still suffer from the seven major factions? ”
These few words completely stopped Hao Shuo! The Department of Laws and Punishments knew some inside information about the war situation that year. Indeed, as Ying Yu said, the wolf was killed and injured a lot, and it also buried the life of their leader Zangqing!
Could it be that the news of the elixir is fake?
However, why did the wolf suddenly disappear at this time?
"When you left, was the lady of the navy blue still in the wolf plain?"
"Definitely. However, we have not been in touch since. Where she is now, I don't know! ”
Hao Shuo still didn't give up and wanted to get to the bottom of it. However, Ying Yu directly blocked the words!
Hao Shuo was helpless, and he didn't dare to delay Zhou Zheng's trip too much, and after routine questioning of several other people, he gave up.
When passing by Lan Qin and Xiao Yu's carriage, he was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, who are these two people?
Ying Yu couldn't think of a suitable relationship for a while. However, Lan Qin replied generously, "The concubine is the family of the Holy Monarch, this is our daughter, she was tired of playing just now and fell asleep." ”
Hao Shuo did not doubt it, and after apologizing to Zhou Zheng again, he led people to leave.
Ying Yu was shocked into a cold sweat just now. Seeing Hao Shuo leaving, he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief and talk to Zhou Zheng, but he heard the voice in Zhou Zheng's ear, "Big brother, there are many people, don't be careless!" Everything will wait until Luqi Town! ”
The two pretended to be indifferent, got on the horse again, and lived in Luqi Town.
In the evening, Lin Yuan, as the host, personally picked up the wind and washed the dust for Zhou Zheng and his party. After they were full of wine and food, they deliberately set aside a large courtyard and arranged for them to live. The post house was crowded, and Lin Yuan was afraid that it would not be safe, especially since the demon clan had sent someone to assassinate Zhou Zheng for this matter, which made Lin Yuan even more nervous. I'm afraid that something will happen to Zhou Zheng in his realm, and he can't explain it to the Demon King and the Law and Punishment Division!
At night, Cheng E was guarding Zhou Zheng's door, and he didn't agree to any matter how Zhou Zheng persuaded him to rest.
Cheng E saw the things during the day, he didn't know if Zhou Zheng had anything to do with Wolf Yuan and Xiandan? However, since the Department of Law and Punishment can suspect Zhou Zheng's head, others will also have such thoughts. In case of gangsters with ulterior motives plotting against him, Cheng E must first protect Zhou Zheng's safety!
Zhou Zheng had no choice but to open the door, find an idle book to read at night, and accompany Cheng E.
There was nothing to say for a night, and the next day, Zhou Zheng bid farewell to Linyuan, and the group left the Terran realm in a mighty way, approaching the mountain and beast holy land.
Although this wasteland cannot teleport or fly in the void, if everyone runs wildly, the speed is definitely much faster than that of a carriage, and it is estimated that it will take less than two days to cross it.
However, Zhou Zheng was not like this, riding a horse and driving a car, leisurely and leisurely.
Ying Yu and Cheng E wanted to speak several times and stopped, and they were very anxious.
Zhou Zheng smiled, "Pay attention, someone is following." We can't seem to be in a hurry, otherwise, we will be stopped by waves! ”
What Zhou Zheng said is indeed right!
In the courtyard of Tianzi No. 1, an inn in Luqi Town, Yuan Huo, Xue Jiu, and Xin Si were all anxiously waiting for news.
"Demon Venerable! The scouts are back! ”
"Let him in!"
Xue Jiu was the first to hold his breath, "Say it quickly!" What's the situation? ”
"Demon Venerable, Zhou Zheng and his entourage did not abandon the horse and the car, and they did not go fast."
"Didn't they rush to Kunlun Xu?"
"Nope! Or go step by step! At night, they camp in a sheltered col. ”
"Is there any other master secretly protecting?"
"Nope! Only those of them! ”
Xue Jiu frowned. "What do you think?"
"You saw clearly in the dark yesterday's investigation by the Judicial Division. Looking at their reactions today, it is estimated that the Wolf Yuan and the Demon Pill are really not on them! ”
"However, the timing of the disappearance of the wolf plain is too coincidental, right?" Xin Si was also racking his brains to guess, "Just in time for Zhou Zheng to go to Kunlun Xu?" ”
"Perhaps, there is a possibility, Zhou Zheng may really not know about the Wolf Yuan and the Demon Pill. However, there are people around him who want to take advantage of this opportunity to take his ride. ”
"Who? Could it be the pardon? Xue Jiu said his guess.
Xin Si nodded approvingly, "Possibly!" You didn't see Hao Shuo, and he was also suspicious of him! He was originally a member of the demon clan, and he had been in the wolf plain for so long. Most likely to take this opportunity to bring the wolf back to Kunlun Xu! ”
"It doesn't seem to make sense, though." Yuan Huo shook his head, "Ying Yu can return to Kunlun Xuan anytime and anywhere, if he has the heart to take Wolf Yuan, he can do it secretly." No one can find out if you don't know it! If you follow Zhou Zheng on this trip, it seems safe on the surface, but in fact, it is easier to arouse suspicion. Why would he take such a risk? ”
Both Xue Jiu and Xin Si fell silent.
"I'm dying!" Xue Jiu jumped up, "Just go up and catch them all directly, and torture them to tell the truth!" ”
Xin Si glanced at him, "Don't talk about others, do you think Zhou Zheng and the three of us can deal with it?" ”
"You two stop arguing! We are the vanguard! If we are sure that Wolf Yuan and Demon Pill are indeed among Zhou Zheng's group, we must immediately report to the Demon Lord. However, if we alarm the Demon Lord and find nothing, our sin will be great! So, don't be impulsive! Let me think again! ”
At the same time, in a small courtyard in Luqi Town, Hao Shuo was also listening to the report. He didn't really leave, but secretly hid.
Looking at the posture of Zhou Zheng and his party now, he couldn't help but ponder for a long time, thinking, could it be that Wolf Yuan and Demon Dan really have nothing to do with their party?
Also at the same time, on a peak of the mountains leading to Kunlunxu, an old man on crutches was quietly listening to the report of his subordinates.
"So, the mustard seed space is not on them?" The old man seems to know more details than the others!
"Yes! The Department of Law and Punishment carefully searched through the yin and yang two-way mirror, and indeed found no mustard seed space! ”
"The mustard seed space, you need at least a person from the fourth layer of the immortal rank to open it, that is the magic weapon of the Lan Bing fairy! Who will take it? The old man thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Has Lan Qin's whereabouts been found?" ”
"Nope! The subordinates are still looking for it! However, Archmage, Lan Qin, I heard that there is only a cultivation of the first level of the Immortal Rank, can she control that magic weapon? ”
"If the Demon Pill is true, how can Lan Qin still stay on the first layer? Demon Pill! Our Black Dragon Clan must grab it! ”
"My subordinates understand! Zhou Zheng, what should they do? Just let them pass? ”
"Hey, hey!" The old man smiled gloomily, "I'd rather kill by mistake than let go!" ”
