Chapter 175: Everything is ready
The next day, Xiao Cong was called to the study by Xiao Tianyu early in the morning.
"What's wrong with Dad? Let Uncle Qin call me so early. β
Xiao Cong rushed into the house in a hurry, and saw Xiao Tianyu sitting quietly on a chair sketching at the desk, Steward Qin followed in, and then stood respectfully at the wooden table, looking ready to be on call at any time.
Xiao Tianyu didn't answer immediately, he worked hard to finish writing things, and then put down the pen, raised his head and said with a smile:
"Why didn't you come here without anything, hurry up and arm, and we'll go to the foot of the holy mountain in a while, and I'll have to point to you, old man, to escort me." β
When Xiao Cong heard this, his eyes lit up,
"Daddy, you've found a way to keep us covert enough!"
"What do you say?"
Xiao Cong was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground,
"Dad, you're amazing, how did you do it. β
Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly,
"After listening to you tell that strange thing that night, I went to Xing Guanghao the next day, and he told me that in fact, there was one in the Murong family's safery, but it was smoked to death by poisonous gas, and I asked you Uncle Qin about the death of those people, and your Uncle Qin was very clear, so we borrowed all the corpses from the Murong family's storage room from Xing Guanghao, moved them to the foot of the holy mountain and burned them, and disguised an identical sceneγ β
Xiao Cong frowned when he heard this:
"Could this be a trap for the Nighthouse, and we don't know the connection between the crow and the Gu people, how can we deceive them?"
"Fourth Young Master," Steward Qin turned around and said to Xiao Cong: "We also have the flame that can burn the soul, you guessed right, the blood of the patriarch of the flame-loving beast is used to configure the soul-burning Gu, the old guy is still solvable before the punishment of the middle and the sun, but after the old guy is punished by the middle and the sun, this Gu is unsolvable, the old man invited him to incinerate the body with the blood of the origin, and the effect achieved is the same as being burned alive before his death, by the way, you still have to take this down." β
As he spoke, Steward Qin took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Cong.
"What is this?"
"The old guy's essence blood is also the antidote to the Soul Burning Gu, we incinerated the corpse at the foot of the holy mountain, and the poisonous gas was all dispersed in the air over there, forming a poisonous barrier, thanks to the old man to remove the poison of the Japanese punishment for the old guy in advance, otherwise the three of us would have been left there that night. Steward Qin said with a wry smile.
"Lao Qin, you have talked too much today, are you ready for everything. β
Steward Qin turned around again and said to Xiao Tianyu:
"Back to the master, everything is ready. β
"Hmm," Xiao Tianyu nodded slightly, "Take me to have a look." β
Steward Qin: "Yes." β
"Satoshi will go back to the room first and clean up, and we will meet at the door. β
After Xiao Tianyu finished speaking, he left with Steward Qin, Xiao Cong looked at the figure of Xiao Tianyu and Steward Qin walking farther and farther away, bit his lip, and sighed abruptly, and then he looked at the jade bottle in his hand, uncorked it and drank it all, and then frowned
, pursed his mouth, as if this thing had also made him suffer a lot.
Xiao Cong ran back to the room in the middle of the outer courtyard and looked around, and found that there was nothing to bring except for the Zhuxian Sword, he scratched his head and thought about it, put Zhuxian on his back, and then ran back to Xiao Tianyu's room and took the Zhuge Divine Crossbow with him. In the end, he ran back to the gate of the mansion and found that his father and Steward Qin were already waiting there.
"Have you brought everything with you?"
"Mmmm," Xiao Cong nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Dad, you bring this." β
He stuffed the Zhuge Divine Crossbow into Xiao Tianyu's hand, who looked at the thing in his hand, smiled, raised his head and said:
"Yo, you're thinking about it quite well. β
"Be prepared. Xiao Cong scratched his head and smiled a little shyly.
The three of them walked straight north along the long street, and the centurions of the patrolling soldiers all bowed down when they saw Xiao Tianyu, Xiao Tianyu nodded in return, and walked respectfully for half a cup of tea, and the three of them stopped in front of a house.
"I should have thought it was here. β
Xiao Cong muttered in a low voice, Xiao Tianyu glanced at Xiao Cong with a smile, and then stepped into the door.
This house is the post station of the Xiao family in the holy city.
Stepping through the courtyard gate, stepping into the patio, looking up, he suddenly saw that the two of them were standing at the door of the hall waiting, Xiao Cong fixed his eyes, and it turned out to be the elder of the Yuan Mechanic and the old monster.
When the two saw the three coming, they hurriedly took a step forward, and at the same time bowed and said:
"The patriarch is early, and the fourth young master is early. β
Xiao Tianyu smiled and bowed, Xiao Cong and Steward Qin replied,
"Elder Yuanji is early, and seniors are early. β
After the politeness, the five of them walked into the hall together.
"Elder, has the Divine Confusion Array been arranged?" Xiao Tianyu asked as he walked.
Elder Yuanji replied respectfully, "Patriarch Hui, it has already been arranged. β
"Hmm. Xiao Tianyu nodded slightly, and the group circled around the courtyard for a long time, and finally came to a secret room.
I've lived here for so long, and I've never known there was such a place.
Xiao Cong was stunned when he saw this, he had lived here for so long, and he had never known that there was such a place.
Elder Yuan Machinery walked straight to the wall, turned the mechanism, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the stone door opened automatically, and then he stood by the door and made a gesture of please, Xiao Tianyu raised his chin to Steward Qin, Steward Qin was the first to go down to the tunnel, Xiao Tianyu, Elder Yuan Machinery followed behind Steward Qin, the old monster and Xiao Cong finally took steps and followed behind Elder Yuan Mechanic and Xiao Tianyu to use the back of the hall, there were many forks in the tunnel, every node was almost identical, and I didn't know why Steward Qin, who was walking in the front, was going around in this underground labyrinth, Xiao Cong observed attentively and tried to comprehend, but in the end he found that no matter how much he meditatedThere was always an area in the sea that was cloudy and difficult to distinguish, and after walking so painfully for a while, he decided not to try it again.
"I can't even study it thoroughly, let alone the rabble that the Night Mansion is standing up to. β
When I thought about it like this, I couldn't help but feel relieved and calm.
A few people walked out of the tunnel
When I saw the light of day again, it was already the time of worship, and the foot of the holy mountain was really as Steward Qin said, because hundreds of corpses were incinerated here, and the poisonous gas that came out of the body became a poisonous barrier, and even the sun looked a little hazy.
Xiao Cong was taken aback when he saw this, and said in surprise:
"Why is the poison barrier so dignified here, there was no such terrible situation in the slum in the first place. β
Xiao Tianyu smiled and said:
"When you fought in the slums, you only burned four people to death, and after the poisonous gas came out, it was absorbed by the paint crow, that night I didn't understand the mechanism with your Uncle Qin, and burned the paint crow here, which led to this tragic appearance, but presumably the body of the paint crow is more important to them, listening to Leng Yikong said, when his men cleaned the battlefield in the civilian area that night, they did not find the corpses of those paint crows, let alone the traces of their incineration.
Xiao Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief,
"It's a shame they didn't burn the bodies there, or my efforts would have been in vain. β
Xiao Tianyu smiled,
"There are as many as one million civilians in the Holy City, and their little Gu is afraid that it will not be enough. β
Xiao Cong pouted,
"That being said, I always feel weird when I think about it......"
Xiao Tianyu took out all the items needed to build the formation from the Mi Ring, and piled up a hill in the open space of ten feet square, Xiao Cong put on the ring, and the spirit entered the illusion of the world, at first he was only because the poison barrier was too thick, which was not conducive to using the spirit stone to copy the trajectory of the avenue, so he thought about having a fluke mentality, and came here to give it a try, who knew that this would not be tried, and he would be startled when he tried it, this space in the air of the illusion was not only not disturbed by the slightest interference of the poison barrier, but also when Xiao Cong sent out his spiritual sense to find the trajectory of the avenue, this space did not resonate with the avenue very muchγ
He was ecstatic in his heart, and quickly sat down on the stone pier, according to the feeling in his heart, no less than hundreds of black and white pieces were placed on the chessboard, so far, he grinned, remembered this chess diagram in his heart, and then took off the ring, and drew a complex pattern in the open space of the road at the foot of the holy mountain.
Xiao Tianyu looked at the pattern drawn by Xiao Cong, and while walking slowly, he looked carefully, his hand was brushed back on the mustache under his chin, and his brows gradually frowned.
Seeing that Xiao Tianyu looked like this after seeing the trajectory of the avenue he had copied, Xiao Cong couldn't help muttering in his heart, he asked cautiously in his heart:
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Xiao Tianyu shook his head and continued to look intently,
"It's not wrong, it's a little bit wrong. β
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"It stands to reason that the Holy City is the land of Vientiane, and the avenues should be quite complete, but on this map, the three thousand avenues are missing nine lanes, which shouldn't be ......"
He thought for a moment, and his brow seemed to be tightened even more than just now.
When Xiao Cong heard this, he also set his eyes on the avenue trajectory map, and after a while, he found that there were indeed nine avenues missing, and it was not the lack of ordinary avenues, the lack of ordinary avenues referred to the three thousand avenues were all there, but there were more or less avenues in shortage, and here there were actually nine avenues missing.
It stands to reason that if the avenue is missing, the entire space should collapse, but this place still exists peacefully, but it is still the most perfect place in the Xuanzhen Realm except for the unknown forbidden land.
