Chapter 162: Dragon Palace
I didn't know what Roy meant by playmates, and looked at him in surprise. Roy said in a low voice: "There is a lot of strange atmosphere here, and it seems that many people pass by here. Hey? It seems that there are some things that we are more familiar with, huh...... It seems that we need to be careful. You wait here for a while, I'll go over and have a look. β
"Okay, be careful!"
Roy nodded, and the cat's waist touched. Swallow and I found a big tree and sat down to rest. Swallow pulled out some beef jerky from her bag for me to eat, as well as a piece of chocolate, just to give me energy.
While chewing on the chocolate, I said apologetically to Yanzi, "Yanzi, I'm really sorry for making you suffer so much with us. β
Yan Ziqiao's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and said: "Don't say that, actually, I'm very happy to be with you, you are all very good to me, although this time is very dangerous, but I feel very happy......"
I looked at her in surprise, and said in my heart, is this girl scared stupid, what kind of heart, Lao Tzu almost lost his life. But fortunately, I'm a bit of a moral person, and I didn't say it. I just hope to find the corpse ginseng king quickly, find a way to get a piece, and then quickly find a way out of the mountain.
Yanzi is very good at taking care of people, probably because her uncle is usually more difficult to serve. At this time, he kept bringing me food, and carefully tore the wrapping paper, and took out the kettle to give me water, which made me a little embarrassed.
After a few moments, Roy sneaked back. When I saw his gloomy and heavy expression, I knew it was not good. Sure enough, Roy came to us and said in a low voice, "Lu, we're in trouble!" β
"What's going on?"
Roy said: "I saw the Miss Leng who invited us, she seems to have been kidnapped, her hands are tied behind her back, and her mouth is also covered with adhesive tape. There were more than a dozen of them, they had guns, and they didn't look like good people! β
I thought to myself, nonsense, there are guns and kidnapping people, and they are still in the place of right and wrong, they are definitely not good people! I guess these people are also coming for the legendary corpse ginseng king. It's just that I don't know why Leng Yitong was here, and he was kidnapped by them.
I'm worried about her safety, if one of them hasn't been rescued yet, and the other has been killed, then I won't lose face. So he hurriedly asked, "Is Leng Yitong a person?" β
Roy said: "No, it's two people, and a middle-aged man is also tied up, but we don't seem to have seen each other." Moreover, Miss Leng and the middle-aged man were not only tied, but also had a yellow piece of paper on their heads, on which were written words that they couldn't read, but they were familiar with the yellow paper used by Kaka! β
"That's a spell! Damn, it turns out that they are also cultivators, but I don't know what kind of faction they are, but I guess they are not good people, they may be cults. Decent people wouldn't do such dirty things! β
Roy thought for a while and said, "I guess Miss Leng must have seen that we haven't heard from us for so long and came to look for us, they must have met these people, and they were kidnapped." We have to find a way to rescue Miss Leng! β
I nodded and said, "This is natural, but there are many people on the other side, and I don't know what the strength is, so I can't come hard, I can only outwit." So, let's touch it first and see what they want to do, and when we get the chance, we'll do it! β
"Okay!"
The three of us slowed down and slowly touched in the direction of the mountain village. "They're camped near the mill in this village, and we can keep an eye on them by climbing up the trees," Roy said. β
There are dense and tall trees all around, and it is a piece of cake for us to climb trees, but the swallows can't climb trees, so they have to hide under the trees and wait for us.
I climbed up a tree, sat on a branch, and looked into the middle of the village. I saw that there were really more than a dozen people setting up tents, and it was estimated that they were going to fight a protracted war. They had a clear division of labor, some camped, some gathered firewood and made fires, some guarded the prisoners, and some patrolled the distance. It's just that I scanned around, and I didn't find out which one of the people in this group was their leader.
Leng Yitong and a middle-aged man were sitting on the stone mill at this time, their hands were tied behind their backs, their mouths were taped with adhesive tape, and a yellow paper talisman was pasted on their foreheads. I haven't seen that middle-aged man either, so I guess Leng Yitong invited him to help. Beside them, a young man was guarding. The young man was not tall, but muscular enough. He had a horsehair shaved and a dragon tattooed on his arm. He had a pair of thief eyes, and he kept looking at Leng Yitong's neck.
I felt anxious in my heart, seeing that these people had a clear division of labor, I didn't know how to rescue Leng Yitong and the others for a while. It would be great if you could send her a letter! But after thinking about it, it is always lawless, and it seems that I have to take one step at a time.
I was sitting on a tree thinking about what to do, when I saw a swallow beckoning to me from below. She waved her hand at me and motioned for me to come down, as if she had something to say.
I didn't know what to do, so I climbed down the trunk, squatted on the ground and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Yanzi leaned into my ear and said, "Brother Lu, I know these people!" β
"What? Do you know each other? I looked at her in amazement.
Yanzi said: "Actually, our family is very close to the place where they live, and we usually have some intersections, so we know each other. β
"Ah, I see, who are they?"
Swallow said: "They are from the Imperial Dragon Hall, and they claim to be the queen of the Imperial Dragon Clan, so everyone has a dragon tattoo on their body. These people do everything, and in our local area, they can be regarded as bullies, and no one dares to mess with them. β
"Imperial Dragon Hall? I haven't heard of it, Swallow, tell us about itβ"
At this time, Roy also came down from the tree, and listened to the swallow about it. Yanzi said: "My family is in a small county near Xuzhou, and I have some strength in the local area, mainly because my uncle has studied in Maoshan for a few years. But the most powerful people in our county are these people from the Liu family of Yulongtang. It is said that their ancestor was named Liu Lei, and during the Xia Dynasty, he once raised dragons for Kong Jia, the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, so he was named the Imperial Dragon Clan. The people of the Imperial Dragon Hall are secretive about our local area, and we don't know what they are doing. Sometimes they also want to rob the tomb, so they will invite my uncle and them to go with them. Later, I heard from the uncle that they were refining what kind of dragon pill, and if they ate it, they could soar or something, in short, these people were chattering, but I had to admit that there were many masters among them! Especially the three Liu brothers, my uncle has to scold them often. β
Roy and I couldn't help but glance at each other, and secretly said in our hearts, are these guys neurotic, they actually went to more than two or three thousand years ago, and what kind of pill are they refining, they really want to be immortals and want to go crazy.
Suddenly, I had an idea in my heart, and immediately grabbed Yanzi and said, "Yanzi, I have an idea and need your help, I hope you can help me!" β
