Chapter 82: The Puzzle
The next morning, the eyes shone in from the windowsill, the dust floated in the beam, Shen Ning stretched out his hand to block the eyes, and wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't sleep, so he had to sit up and sigh helplessly.
Somehow last night, he had a nightmare, dreaming that the Divine Capital City was breached by the Evil God, and he and the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion died generously.
It sounded a little funny, after all, in the eyes of most people, this kind of thing was impossible, but Shen Ning knew that in the near future, this scene might become a reality.
Maybe it's because I think about it day and dream at night, so I have such a dream.
Shen Ning didn't think much about it, he asked Gu Yanwu and the others to go and see the Inspiration King Temple in the mouths of the people of Weicheng today, so he didn't delay much, and after getting up and cleaning up, he woke up Gu Yanwu, who was still sleepy.
A few people packed up, and went to see the Inspiration King Temple according to the path that the shopkeeper pointed to yesterday, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the temple, a question came from behind Shen Ning:
"The court is important, and idlers are not allowed to enter."
Shen Ning looked for the sound, only to see a man dressed in white and embroidered with a white crane appear behind him, don't think about it, it is probably the disciple who guards the immortal gate here, Shen Ning showed the token that he was ordered to go south, and after seeing this token, the man slowed down his tone:
"It turned out that the imperial envoy arrived, I don't know what I saw here?"
Shen Ning glanced at the other party and said truthfully: "I heard that there was a rebellion by wild gods in Weicheng a few days ago, and this official was afraid that this matter was related to the people of Weishan, so he came to investigate. ”
"Shangguan, please wait a moment, this place is strictly forbidden by my sect master to allow others to enter, so you have to wait for me to report to the sect master." The disciple of the White Crane Sect said politely.
This is a normal procedure, of course Shen Ning has no reason to refuse, but in order to prevent the other party from playing any tricks, he said: "I was only waiting for half a stick of incense here, and after this time, I went in by myself." ”
"Half a stick of incense, enough for the next and back trip."
As the disciple of the White Crane Sect spoke, he actually relied on the spirit yuan behind him to condense a pair of wings, and flew into the air at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
"My good man, he is just a cultivator of the Chaoxia Realm, he can fly in the sky, is the White Crane Sect's exercises so magical?" Gu Yanwu looked at the disciples of the White Crane Sect who were far away, and there was envy in his words, you must know that he is also in the Chaoxia Realm, and he is even at his peak, but he still can't do it.
If you want to do this, you must cultivate in the Xuan Realm.
Shen Ning and the others didn't have to wait long before the disciples of the White Crane Sect came back and personally opened the door of the Great King Temple of Inspiration for Shen Ning and them.
Shen Ning and Gu Yanwu walked into the Temple of the Great King of Inspiration, and where they saw was a ruined wall, and there were a lot of blood stains on the bluestone slab, which seemed to have experienced a fierce battle.
Shen Ning and the others walked around here and asked, "Did you find anything wrong?" ”
Gu Yanwu shook his head, he didn't know why Shen Ning had to come to explore here, the battle was over, even if this matter was done by the people of Weishan, what could it be, in the end, it was not a bamboo basket to draw water, it was better to have a good rest in the inn.
Shen Ning saw Wang Yan on the side, looking like he wanted to say something, knowing that he had found the same problem as himself, and immediately quietly escaped with a magic weapon, which was the magic weapon he obtained when dealing with the wild gods in Cai's mansion.
When this magic weapon was quietly arranged, Shen Ning looked at Wang Yan and signaled that he could speak.
The latter quickly comprehended Shen Ning's consciousness, picked up a broken stone brick between the ruins, and said seriously: "You see that this stone brick should have been damaged by the wild god and the White Crane Sect during the battle, the cut surface on it is very neat, and it should have been cut off by sword qi!" ”
Gu Yanwu frowned slightly and asked, "That's true, but what does this mean?" ”
Wang Yan smiled and asked, "Didn't Daoyou find out?" Although this stone was cut off by sword qi, not only did there not leave a trace of spirit yuan on it, but not even a trace of sword intent could be felt. ”
"Maybe a few days have passed and dissipated on its own?" Gu Yanwu thought about it.
, Li Hongye put forward a different opinion: "Impossible, the White Crane Sect Master Bai He's cultivation is not weak, Tsing Yi Si has a record of him, and his sword intent has already entered the realm of transcendence, the other disciples of the White Crane Sect can't see such a sharp sword qi, and the sword qi cut out by the White Crane shouldn't disappear so quickly!" ”
Shen Ning nodded, there was no problem with what Li Hongye said.
"Another question, have you ever seen a disciple of the White Crane Sect or other cultivators patrolling Weicheng on the streets of Weicheng, except for the disciple of the White Crane Sect who you saw in front of the Inspiration King Temple, have you ever seen anyone else?"
Shen Ning's question made everyone present frown.
"So what do you mean?" Gu Yanwu asked with some confusion.
Shen Ning sighed slightly, and said truthfully: "I suspect that Weicheng has fallen into the hands of the Tricky Mountain Crowd, as for why I didn't see the disciples of the White Crane Gate, it can mean that they may have all been killed by the Tricky Mountain Crowd, as for the meaning of that piece of broken stone, I suspect that we have entered the trap of the Tricky Mountain Crowd." ”
Li Hongye and Wang Yan originally only had vague guesses about this matter, but when Shen Ning really brought it up, they couldn't help but be surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, they quickly realized the problem.
"So you mean that where we are now, it should be a place with a similar environment?"
Shen Ning nodded, he also didn't know what kind of environment he was in now, but judging by the stone bricks, this should not be the real world.
"If that's the case, then why haven't the Tricky Mountains made a move against us?" Li Hongye raised his own questions.
Shen Ning walked slowly in the Temple of the Great King of Inspiration and pondered, and only after a long time did he reply: "I'm thinking, this group of people may have two purposes, the first purpose is to rely on the people of Weicheng to descend the wild gods!" ”
Shen Ning pointed to the ancestral hall in the Temple of the Great King of Inspiration, which had been reduced to ruins, which was meaningless to everyone.
"As for the second point, it's very likely that this group of treacherous people is coming for us." Shen Ning was faint.
As soon as these words came out, Li Hongye and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised, you must know that their actions are absolutely confidential, in order to prevent the monsters in Henan Province from getting the news, they even rushed to Henan Province in batches.
"According to what the junior brother said, there is a high probability that there will be traitors from the Strange Mountains within our court?" Wang Yan asked in surprise.
Shen Ning shook his head and denied: "Not necessarily, there are more than two hundred of us, divided into dozens of squads to act, there are many people who have encountered accidents, and they have been obtained by the people of the Tricky Mountain, it is too early to say this." As for why they haven't attacked us yet, I think maybe they want to wait for all of us to arrive, so that we can catch them all! ”
Wang Yan's brows suddenly wrinkled even tighter, but he couldn't believe it:
"We have nearly two hundred monks, not much different from the scale of ordinary immortal sects, do they have the courage to face so many of us? Shouldn't the best approach be one against the other? ”
"At this point, I think it may be that someone is afraid that someone will escape and affect their plans." Shen Ning said slowly: "Maybe in the eyes of this group of people, we are no different from the lambs to be slaughtered, for example, just like a few of us, we unknowingly walked into the trap they laid for us. ”
Shen Ning's words are not wrong, the enemy this time is indeed not to be underestimated, maybe with this strange space, it is really possible to besiege them to death.
"So what do we do now?" Rather than sit back, Li Hongye prefers to take the initiative to solve the problem in front of him, and immediately looked at Shen Ning, "Little junior brother, you can arrange it, you want to have a strategy, you just say, let's do it, it's fine." ”
Shen Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Senior sister, you also think too highly of me, there is too little information you can get at the moment, and you don't even know what kind of state this disguised world is, how can it be quite good." ”
"Can't we leave Weicheng now?"
Gu Yanwu suddenly asked at this time.
Shen Ning and Li Hongye glanced at him like idiots.
"If we are really in the illusion set by the enemy, even if we get out of Weicheng, won't we still be in the illusion?" Wang Yan kindly explained.
"Ugh." Martial Commander Gu Yan let out a long sigh, "Die before you get out of the school!" ”
"Is there no other way?" Li Hongye asked.
Shen Ning thought for a while and shook his head: "None of us present who specialize in illusion arts, we don't know enough about the environment we are in now, in such a situation, it is difficult to achieve effective countermeasures, my suggestion is to continue to wait, wait for others to come one after another, to see if we can brainstorm ideas, or if we can find a way to pass on the information here." ”
"I've tried, but the magic weapon we carried when we left Shenjing City has no effect here." Li Hongye faintly came.
Shen Ning nodded, and a few people briefly discussed it before leaving the Inspiration King Temple.
When he walked out of the temple gate, the disciple of the White Crane Sect greeted him again, and when he saw a few people leaving, he said, "Congratulations to a few ......."
Before he could finish speaking, a spear pierced his body, and the man disappeared in front of everyone in a puff of green smoke.
"It seems that our guess was not wrong." Shen Ning's expression was indifferent, as if he had done a trivial thing.
Gu Yanwu frowned and asked, "Are you not afraid of alarming the person who arranged the illusion?" ”
Shen Ning shook his head with a smile, took back a few copper coins, and said indifferently, "Have you forgotten the magic weapon we got when we were in Cai Mansion?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Yanwu thought for a while before he suddenly realized.
Leaving the Inspiration King Temple, Shen Ning and the others returned to the inn.

"Any questions?"
Xuanshu looked at the nightmare who had been meditating, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
Nightmare shook his head and said, "I just felt a wave of spirit yuan, but I didn't find out where it came from. ”
Xuanshu immediately asked, "Could it be the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion who entered the dream?" ”
"No, they are." Nightmare denied: "Their every move is under my watch, if it were them, I would have been the first to get the information." ”
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do they have a means to shield your perception in your dreams?" ”
Hearing this, Nightmare slowly raised his head, and nodded after a little hesitation:
"They should have discovered the existence of Dreamland."
"Let's do it tonight."
Xuanshu made a decision on the spot, he would not allow any possible factor to affect the overall situation.
This proposal was eventually agreed to by Nightmare.
