Chapter 49: The Little Girl
The little girl didn't expect that her father and mother would hide herself so deeply that she would be discovered.
Her round eyes were as red as a rabbit, and her eyes were full of timidity when she looked at Xie Zhengliu.
Xie Zhengliu stretched out his hand and tried to take the person out. As soon as she moved, the little girl was so frightened that she closed her eyes and covered her mouth with one hand, but the tears could not stop falling.
Probably her father and mother also taught her that she can't make a sound at any time, so this child can live until now.
Xie Zhengliu's hugging movements were lighter, and after holding the little girl into her arms, she found that the child had been trembling.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a disciple of Hengtian Sect, and I'm here to save you, and I learned about the situation by the way." Xie Zhengliu patted the little girl on the back to appease.
Hearing her words, the little girl's eyes, who were still full of resistance to Xie Zhengliu, suddenly opened, and looked her up and down, as if she was confirming her identity.
After seeing the mark of Hengtianzong on Xie Zhengliu's robe, the child relaxed his body, leaned into Xie Zhengliu's arms, hugged her and sobbed quietly: "Daddy and mother have been arrested, those black shadows, black shadows eat people...... My father and mother wouldn't let me come out, and I heard the black shadow talking and took them away. ”
The little girl said intermittently, and Xie Zhengliu heard a lot of information from it.
She touched the child's head: "Okay, I know, I'll take you back to the station of Hengtian Sect first, you can rest assured that we will definitely find out about this matter and get your father and mother back." ”
The little girl grew up in the Crying Ghost City, and she is no stranger to the demonic energy and demons who have been making trouble here all year round. I even know from my ears and eyes that those who wear good-looking clothes and patrol the city every day are people who can be trusted.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect never lie, and what they promised her will definitely be done.
got Xie Zhengliu's assurance, the little girl who had been suffering all night finally couldn't hold it anymore, and soon cried and fell asleep in Xie Zhengliu's arms.
When she walked out of the door with the child, she happened to meet Yue Mingqiu coming to her.
After seeing the child in Xie Zhengliu's arms, Yue Mingqiu subconsciously lowered his voice: "Who is this child?" ”
"It is said that her father and mother were taken away by those black shadows, and this child is probably the only one in Dongcheng District who knows the inside story." Xie Zhengliu explained in a low voice.
Zhuang Youqian and Minghe searched very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to join Xie Zhengliu. The four of them briefly exchanged their findings, and after learning what happened to the child in Xie Zhengliu's arms, the four of them decided to give up the investigation first, and send the person back to the station to settle properly.
The timing of their return was just right, and the team led by Yuan Hao had already returned safely.
Xie Zhengliu temporarily handed over the little girl to Mingxin to take care of, and the group sat together again and began to exchange their experiences with each other.
Yuan Hao's team went to Zhongcheng District, and also ran to the stations of several other sects by the way.
Just like the array plate they brought with Fengyang here, the rest of the sects also have some life-saving things. It's just that the monks over there are not as sharp as Xie Zhengliu, so there are more injured people.
When they came back, they also brought a lot of loose cultivators, and the situation of those scattered cultivators was not much better than that of the people of Hengtian Sect.
"Wanfa Sect and Miaoyinmen, they are also in the same situation as us, they were all attacked for no reason. Many of their disciples were also turned into the living dead because they were touched by a dark shadow on the ground. ”
Yuan Hao has learned to use the term "living dead" to refer to those who are injured in the same state.
"In addition to the people from the major sects, we also met a few loose cultivators who came here to practice." Yuan Hao continued, "Some of them saw that those black shadows did not hurt people, but forcibly took people away. ”
Xie Zhengliu's brows moved slightly: "Senior brother, there are monks over there who have been taken away by the black shadow?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at her, and Yuan Hao also motioned for her to continue.
Xie Zhengliu: "We rescued a little girl in Dongcheng District earlier, and she also told me that those black shadows took her father and mother away. Earlier, I thought that the dark shadows would only take away some mortals, but I didn't expect them to do something to the monks. ”
"So where did these shadows take people, and what do they do? What is it that requires the abduction of mortals and monks? Zhuang Youqian also asked.
Generally speaking, compared to mortals who have no spiritual power and need to eat and drink, they are not very attractive to the demons, what they need is the vigorous vitality in the monk's body.
At the beginning, Yuan Hao heard that a monk had been taken captive, and he also felt that the demons in the shadows had probably taken a fancy to the vitality in the bodies of a few scattered cultivators, but if even mortals were involved, I am afraid that things would not be so simple.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then quickly said, "That's fine, we'll go out and investigate after nightfall." If you can touch those shadows, try to catch them. ”
After saying this, the team that had gone to the city gate to investigate also returned.
The senior brother who took the initiative to go to the city gate poured a few cups of spiritual tea as soon as he entered the gate, and he gasped for a while before finally relieving himself: "The formation at the city gate has indeed been changed, and there are many dark shadows gathered there!" When we first passed, we didn't notice that the black shadows were all cowering under the city walls, and we were caught off guard and almost caught by the black shadows. I don't know what's going on, but when we're all gone, these shadows are still in hot pursuit. We wasted our old nose strength before we ran back. ”
Yuan Hao patted the senior brother's shoulder and asked him to sit down and rest: "Since that guy in the shadows left so many black shadows at the gate of the city, it is estimated that the formation that came there can be easily changed, even if it is not easy to be broken." I think we need to break in and do something about the formation. ”
Once the formation is broken, even if they don't figure out the truth of the matter, they can notify the people of the major sects to come to the rescue as soon as possible.
It's much better than keeping them in the city, taking on the danger of not knowing where it's going to come out.
The monks who were still active quickly agreed to his idea, and when all the people who had gone out in the morning returned, Yuan Hao called everyone together and divided them into two parts.
Some of them followed him to the city walls, and some of them stayed in the city to find clues about the demons.
Xie Zhengliu's three cultivators were the lowest, and they shouldn't have been arranged out, but there were too few people who could use them, plus Feng Yang had to stay to take care of the formation, so he couldn't leave, and Mingxin also had to take care of the wounded in the station.
Yuan Hao had to hand over Xie Zhengliu and the three to Minghe again, and told him to bring them back safely.
Minghe nodded solemnly in agreement.
There was still no light in the sky, and everyone waited until the demonic energy outside was active again before they got out of the barrier.
The figures of Yuan Hao and the others quickly disappeared into the darkness, and Ming He also threw a fluorescent stone forward, and then said to the sixteen people who followed him: "Let's go, let's go and meet those demonic qi!" ”
