[691] Water leakage
In the depths of the night, a flying thunder car rushed out of Yuque City under the escort of the Nine Shadows Air Cavalry of a small flag, and rode the wind towards the west, speeding towards the Yuque hunting ground.
Yingying, the national teacher in white and Shengxue, sat in the flying thunder car with a spirit snake staff in his hand.
She frowned slightly, a faint worry appearing. The same was true of the two Su Tianju disciples who accompanied her.
Not long ago, the national teacher Yingying suddenly received a secret report from the Nine Shadows Country Express Division, claiming that there was a call for help from the Yuque Hunting Ground. The call for help mentions that Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother were quietly attacked in the Jade Que Hunting Ground, and their divine consciousness was trapped in a spiritual enchantment. In the long run, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother will fall into an eternal sleep.
For a while, Ying Ying, who was woken up from the bed, couldn't take care of sleepiness, and woke up when she came. After she hurriedly dressed, she stepped on the thunder cart that had been prepared for her, and hurried to the Yuque hunting ground while Lu Wu and the others were busy blocking the news.
For the flying thunder car of the Nine Shadows Country, the journey of thirty miles can be reached with just a cup of tea.
But today, the flying car is also flying fast enough, and Yingying, who is sitting in the car, can clearly hear the night wind whistling outside the car. On both sides of the flying car, the hot wheels made of Qingluan steel were also kicking the power of the burning grass, and the spirit rune secret on the wheels was blowing and turning sharply, constantly bringing the creaking sound of the wheel axles. But Yingying still feels that today's flying car seems to be very slow.
Anxious, she held the hand of the spirit snake staff, and her index finger curled and kept beating the body of the spirit snake staff. The pure white nail cover constantly hits the round, delicate, pure and flawless jade cane, and every time it collides, a little electricity will burst out on the cane.
After a moment, Ying Ying felt that a long time had passed. Time seemed to her at this time, and it had become long.
After the flying car arrived at the Yuque hunting ground, with the contact between the fungus people on the ground and the fungus people in the flying car, they quickly found the location of the camp in the vast grassland under the night.
The flying car hovering over the camp picked up three white paper lanterns with green ghost fire, one in front and one on the left and one on the left and right, to prove their identities to the soldiers in the camp below.
Then, in the middle of the camp, a row of lanterns with blue ghost fire rose. No more, no less, exactly five in total, lined up in a standing line in the night breeze. At the same time, the fungus man in the flying car also received a message from the fungus man on the ground - allowing the flying car to land where the lantern was raised.
This is the take-off and landing procedure of the flying car and Xiancha of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which is said to be a series of procedures formulated by Xiao Shizhu according to the take-off and landing process of the aircraft at the human airport.
He asked the Nine Shadows Kingdom to go up and down, and there should be rules for everything, and there would be no circle without rules. But now this rule makes Yingying in the flying car even more anxious.
The news from the camp in the hunting ground below was that Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother had been attacked quietly, and no trace of the assassin had been found.
Just looking at these not very detailed news, it is indeed a serious and urgent situation, and in the huge underworld, I am afraid that the only one who can imprison his ghost and divine consciousness is the ancient god Emperor Xudu. Thinking about this, Ying Ying was even more restless, and she couldn't wait to jump out of the car.
The country must not be left without an owner for a day, otherwise chaos will come, and tens of thousands of ghost people in the Nine Shadows Country will inevitably suffer. Thinking about these things again, Yingying, a ghost who has always been calm, couldn't help but stomp her feet.
At present, among the nine ghost countries, only Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother can unite such a large ghost country, and the wife is peaceful. Only they can make the Nine Shadows Kingdom invincible among the many ghost kingdoms in the underworld.
For the country, the people, the public and private, Yingying doesn't want the couple to have an accident now.
Fortunately, the flying car was circling again, and it had already landed in the designated position on the ground. Before the speeding car stopped, Ying Ying couldn't wait to get up and strode towards the door.
got out of the flying car, and Qinglan, who was already waiting outside the car, was also restless, and greeted her.
The camp was very quiet, blending in with the night, without the slightest noise or panic. The army stationed in the camp, few ghosts know that Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother's consciousness has been imprisoned in the enchantment, and they may fall into a deep sleep forever.
Qing Lan and the other attendants did a good job, and they narrowed down this almost bad news to a certain small range. lest the news spread and cause panic in the country.
"Is the news blocked?" This was the first sentence that the national teacher Yingying asked Qinglan quietly after getting off the car. She didn't stop talking, and followed Qinglan towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
The unreasonable guards and patrols thought that there was some urgent news in Yuque City, so that the national teacher had to come late at night to meet Xiao Shizhu.
Qing Lan also tried her best to lower her voice to a volume that only he and Ying Ying could hear, and hurriedly replied: "Everything is done, and the news will never leak out until it is confirmed that the lord and the mother of the country will never wake up." ”。
But this is only a temporary expedient measure, and he and Ying Ying both know that it will be difficult to hide it until dawn.
The night breeze ruffled her hair, but it couldn't blow away her frowning brow.
Three or two arrows rushed to the front of the big tent, jumped up and landed in front of the tent door on the high platform, leaving Qinglan beside him behind, and taking the lead in grabbing the door.
When Ying Ying frowned tightly and flew behind the screen in the depths of the big tent without saying a word, the faint blue light instantly dissipated at the eyebrows of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother who were lying on the bed. Chen Ruo, who was anxious and sweaty, and the two Su Tianju disciples were standing by the bed, circling around the bed, and they were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.
Immediately after Ying Ying stood in front of the bed, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, who were still asleep, suddenly bounced up from the bed, and gasped for breath when they opened their eyes and opened their mouths to frighten the ghosts present.
It's like the moment when someone who has been holding their breath for a long time, or who has been drowning for a long time, floats out of the water, desperately breathing fresh air.
Their low, rapid wheezing was echoed only by the sound of hunting from the tent's felt cloth, which had been blown by the night wind.
Ying Ying and behind the screen, the ghosts who were guarding the side of the bed were all stunned, and their brains were blank. Didn't the intelligence and secret letters say that Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother's divine consciousness were imprisoned in a powerful enchantment?
They didn't know the reason, but it was the first time they saw a ghost whose divine consciousness was imprisoned, and they broke away from the confinement of the enchantment without external interference, and woke up on their own.
Xiao Shizhu said that the other party was the son of God. With his mysterious power, it is normal for him to have some miracles occasionally. But the ghost mother is different, she is not the son of God, even if she can wake up, she was shocked that the national teacher Yingying and the other ghosts who saw this scene were all dumbfounded. But he held his breath, not daring to alarm Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, who were also stunned.
Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother's rough breathing gradually eased. The look of consternation on their faces slowly receded, and they still couldn't tell whether their meeting with Taishan Mansion was a real or illusory dream.
Although their sweat had cooled, their eyes were still a little dull, and they still hadn't recovered from the strange dream. Or, has he not been able to react from the shock of the news of Taishan Mansion's sudden death......
In the depths of the night, the starlight in the sky has gradually dimmed as the lunar moon sets in the east.
In the sea and the sky, the waves rolled silently in the darkness between heaven and earth. The snow-white waves chase and frolic on the sea, tirelessly.
A merchant ship rides the wind in the waves. This merchant ship was a water-borne ship, made of unsinkable wood, with a hull of 2 feet 2 feet 5 inches wide, 10 feet 1 foot long, and a cabin depth of 7 feet 9 inches. The board alone is three inches and one minute. Even the keel of the hull is made of the backbone of a sea dragon in the sea. Do not encounter strong winds and waves, and are not afraid of the wind and waves at sea.
And the underworld has not been peaceful for many years, and there are many pirates who rob merchant ships on the six seas. The ship not only has the characteristics of solid structure, flexible handling and fast driving, but can also erect a shield around the side of the ship at any time and transform it into a warship. It is impossible to deal with the sailors of various ghost countries, but it is more than enough to deal with a few pirates.
Nowadays, in the Netherworld, most of the maritime merchant ships in the six seas use this kind of water ship.
And now, this boat that is sailing south in the night, riding the wind and waves, carries not only all kinds of specialties of Liutianzhou, but also many sealed wooden boxes, about half a foot in length, width and height. In the sealed box, I don't know what it contains.
The soul of the person who hired the boat didn't say anything, and the old nature of the boat didn't ask much. Only the souls of the hired ships knew that these straw-filled boxes contained protective talismans and blueprints stolen from the Northern Yin Dynasty's military industry and weapons prison in Liutianzhou.
As early as the time of the Six Heavens Continent, the Xuanjiao disciples who were responsible for stealing these things copied dozens of copies of the drawings, and created dozens of copies of the protective talismans, which were loaded into different merchant ships, and from the docks in different directions of the Six Heavens Continent, they set off one after another to the docks north of Shuoyue Island or Xuanyan Continent.
The sea breeze at night, whirring and whistling, like the sound of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, filled the ears of the boat boss standing at the head of the bed.
He carried a compass-like thing in his hand, sometimes looking at it with a faint light from the lantern hanging beside him, and sometimes looking up at the already dim stars in the sky, constantly calibrating the direction and course.
At night, this is the only way for him to keep the ship from deviating from its course.
According to the astrological signs and the compass-like positioning object in his hand, after making sure that the course did not deviate, the ship boss turned around and headed for the cabin.
He had barely turned around and saw a crew member rushing up the deck along the gangway leading to the cabin. In three or two arrow steps, he rushed to the front of the boat boss.
Then the light from the pilot's light in the bow of the ship, the captain could see the crew in front of him, with beads of sweat on his forehead, shining in the light.
And the crew's faces were full of panic and panic all over their facial features. The beads of sweat on the crewman's forehead slowly slid down to the tip of his nose as the crew opened their mouths, but could only gasp and could not speak, and his eyes widened as if they were about to burst out of their sockets.
After the captain looked the crew up and down for a while, he calmly asked the crew member casually: "What are you like this?
The sea breeze blew up the deck, spun rapidly on that deck and rose rapidly. After asking, the boss of the boat suddenly felt a chill in his heart under the whirlwind of the sea breeze, and the cool air on his back spine was chaotic.
His crew had seen strong winds and waves, and they would be so panicked that they couldn't even speak, something must have happened.
Thinking of this, the captain's eye muscles twitched, and the crew stammered: "Cabin, leaky ...... It's leaking. ”。
