Chapter 259: Heading North
That night, Zhang Xiang sent Su Qingming and Shen Yunhai into the palace.
Dugu Guifei knew the news in advance, washed her son cleanly, didn't use any perfume powder, changed into plain clothes, and waited in the palace.
When Lu Qian went to Xixia, the fox of Qingqiu Mountain, which had the most women in the Great Wilderness, also took care of himself, and I have to say that the world's impression of the disciples of the Sword Sect is always so stereotypical...... And right.
Su Qingming, the little prince today, was obviously more satisfied than last time, and without saying a few words, he asked Mama to take him in to sleep.
The little prince was reminded by his mother for a long time, and he was inevitably a little nervous, and the word "uncle" when he finally said goodbye trembled slightly, which looked extremely cute.
Su Qingming glanced at Shen Yunhai.
Shen Yunhai said: "It's not pretending, the prince is much smarter than before." ”
Only those who are really smart will not pretend to be clever.
Dugu Guifei was really not smart, and she was stunned before she understood what Su Qingming and Shen Yunhai were talking about, and cast a grateful look at Shen Yunhai.
Then she looked at Su Qingming and asked nervously, "Is this going to take him to the Sword Sect?" ”
At a young age, she was about to be sent to the Sword Sect for penance, and as a mother, she was naturally reluctant. But she also understands that now that the third prince is imprisoned, her son has become the target of public criticism, and everyone wants to put their hands into this palace, rather than being frightened here, it is better to stay away.
"I'm just here to put you at ease, even though I don't understand the point of that."
Su Qingming said: "The disciple of the Sword Sect just gave him an identity, how to look at his father's opinion in the future." ”
After saying this, he left the palace with Shen Yunhai, and looked into the depths of the palace in the night, saying goodbye to the Son of Heaven.
……
……
The stars fall on the plains, leaving the pavilion and the water, and the shadow of the Chang'an city wall is very clear.
Shen Yunhai asked, "Master, do you use a car?" ”
Everyone on the Heavenly Sword Peak knew that Su Qingming had a quirk, that is, he preferred to walk or take a car compared to flying with a sword.
Shen Yunhai made a car specially for him, which once sent Li Shu and Yang Liu to the Hanging Temple, and now it is still parked in Xiahe Town.
If Su Qing meditated on taking the car, Shen Yunhai would ask the Shen family to fly the car over, and they only needed to wait for half the night in Tongxian outside Chang'an City.
Su Qingming said: "No, I have to go to a place at this time, and you can return to the Sword Sect." ”
Shen Yunhai was a little surprised, it was a little strange to leave Chang'an City overnight, and he would rather control a sword than take a car......
Where is Master going, and why is he in such a hurry?
Thinking of Su Qingming's movement in the Demon Suppression Division, where did Shen Yunhai dare to leave and insist on staying with him.
Su Qingming naturally wouldn't be polite with him, mainly because he was too lazy to persuade, took the black cat out of his sleeve, handed it to him, and said, "You sit in the back." ”
After saying this, the iron sword flashed out of his body, and it hung in the night, reflecting the starlight.
After three years of corrosion in Bitan, the burn marks on the surface of the iron sword became smoother, but instead of getting smaller, it was wider enough to accommodate several people.
Shen Yunhai was concerned about other issues, and looked at the iron sword in surprise.
Su Qing has been in the Divine Journey Realm for many years, but he has never been able to enter the sword into his body, so he has not been able to cultivate the sword soul, so he will leave the Sword Sect and sneak into the Demon Suppression Division.
Now that the Iron Sword has become one with him, this shows that he has completely solved the problem, so isn't it a nomadic prospect?
The iron sword burst through the air, flew northwest in the starlight, and soon disappeared into the night.
Su Qingming sat in front, and Shen Yunhai sat in the back with a black cat in his arms.
Even with Su Qingming's body in the way, the wind swam from all around still made his face stingle slightly.
You must know that his current realm is already quite high, and he will actually be disturbed by Gangfeng, which shows that the iron sword flies extremely high and fast.
Shen Yunhai was very surprised, thinking that the flying sword in his uncle's hand was just ordinary, why was it like an immortal-level flying sword in his master's hand.
As for the Gangfeng being so strong, why Su Qingming was unaware, Shen Yunhai didn't think about it at all.
He didn't slander Su Qingming's thick skin, but in his heart, the master was not an ordinary cultivator, so naturally he couldn't be measured by the standards of an ordinary cultivator.
Regarding this point, except for Lu Qian, he is the most convinced.
……
……
When the iron sword landed on the wasteland, the twilight was thick, and the remnant sun shone like blood on the northern snowfield, making it seem extremely mysterious and dangerous.
It only took such a short time to come here from Chang'an City, Shen Yunhai was speechless in shock.
Of course, this is also because he has been blown by the gang wind for a day, his body has already stiffened, and his face is stinging.
Su Qingming's cloth clothes were also cut out of countless openings by Gangfeng, turning into cloth belts fluttering and flying in the wind, looking like a beautiful beggar.
The snow field in the twilight is very calm, and the so-called mysterious danger is only the emotional color given by people.
The Queen of the Demon Kingdom should still be nursing the baby, how can she care about what humans are thinking.
The residents of Immortal Demon City didn't know these secrets, they only knew that the demon beasts hadn't appeared for many years, and they were holding one carnival after another in the city.
The inhabitants here are all believers, and the religion they believe in is a combination of the Blood Moon Cult and the Demon Kingdom Sacrifice, which is a little crazy, but extremely sincere.
Hundreds of colored flags dressed the Immortal Demon City like a bride, and looking from the cliff where Su Qingming was located, those colored flags actually pointed to one place.
The small temple between the red cliffs of the Immortal Demon City.
Su Qing looked at the small temple quietly and didn't speak for a long time.
Shen Yunhai's body finally warmed up, and his voice trembled slightly, "Master, are you looking for someone?" ”
Su Qingming snorted and said, "I heard that catkins often appear here. ”
Shen Yunhai was surprised, he didn't expect to hear this name at all.
It's not Uncle Lu, but there are still catkins?
Isn't that a disciple of the Moon Occultation Sect? I heard that the appearance is quite ordinary...... Well, Master doesn't need to care about looks.
"She used to wait here for the master for more than a year, in that small temple."
Shen Yunhai suddenly said seriously.
Su Qingming knew what he meant, reached out and patted his head, and said, "I know." ”
……
……
The iron sword burst through the air again.
It didn't take long for them to come to the Immortal Demon City, seven hundred miles south of the Immortal Demon City.
It was late at night, the streets were still lively, and many traveling merchants were still eating and exchanging useful information.
The most convenient place for exchanging information in Chaotian Continent is not a Qinglou or a restaurant, but a medical hall.
Those hospitals with begonia flowers, mast flowers, and all kinds of flowers engraved on the plaques.
Looking at the unrecognizable flower on the plaque, Su Qingming shook his head, he had already dealt with the Moon Shadow Building several times, and he still didn't understand the intention of this approach.
Shen Yunhai walked up the stone steps with the black cat in his arms and knocked on the door of the medical hall.
The clinic also accepts patients in the middle of the night, but it is rare to see a combination of two people and one cat.
And these two people are a little embarrassed, but obviously not sick, is the patient the cat with closed eyes?
"Distinguished guest, we will not cure cats ......"
Before the man could finish his sentence, he took them back, welcomed them into the infirmary, and closed the door again.
Su Qingming took off his hat and showed his face.
Shen Yunhai stood behind the chair with the black cat in his arms.
Su Qingming sat in a chair.
There are three cups of tea on the table.
After the hot tea in the cup cooled, the doctor finally returned.
"The immortal master is in a hurry, I really haven't found anything in a day, it's still the previous news, please don't blame."
The doctor said with a wry smile, thinking that you only asked for the news in Chang'an City last night, and today you came here, and no news can fly to you.
Su Qingming said, "Please speak." ”
The doctor said: "No one knows the origin of the catkins, she seems to be a person who suddenly appeared. ”
Su Qingming said, "When?" ”
The doctor took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and held it in his hand, and said, "This is to say that Jiang Yue'er started retreat and retreat many years ago, seeking to break through the realm of emptiness......
Without waiting for him to finish, Su Qingming said: "This is fake, she has been empty many years ago. ”
Her realm and rank are extremely high, but I don't know why she couldn't break through the Void Realm.
This is common knowledge in the monastic world.
Su Qingming said calmly and cleanly - this is fake.
The air in the infirmary was suddenly quiet, full of embarrassment.
The doctor's expression became a little embarrassed, and he said: "Knowing is knowing, everyone knows, but the Occult Moon Sect has not announced to the world, and has not admitted it, we don't dare to think so, just like the sword law of your sect, and if Jiang Yue'er has already been cleared, the retreat can only be for the ultimate avenue, and we dare not evaluate." ”
Su Qingming was silent for a while and said, "Go on." ”
"Fifteen years ago, Liu Wu suddenly appeared in the Occultation Moon Sect, saying that he was Jiang Yue'er's closed disciple, Jiang Yue'er couldn't go out of retreat, where did he get the disciple? But for some reason, the owner of the nunnery and the elder Taishang acquiesced in her identity, and it is said that her status in the nunnery is quite special, and no one cares about her and lets her act freely. ”
The doctor continued: "The first time she appeared in front of the world was the Mei Hui that you also attended, and she took the first place in the Qin Dao, and her whereabouts are still erratic, but she has been found to appear in the Immortal Demon City many times, but you know ...... We didn't dare to get too close to that temple, so we didn't know the specific situation. ”
Su Qingming asked, "What about the other thing?" ”
The doctor took out another piece of jade Jue and held it in his hand, and said: "More than three years ago, the bone platform was destroyed, Dao Yi was no longer in the valley of no return, I don't know where he went, half a year later, he returned from the southwest, and he was still tight-lipped until a few days ago, Yang Liu went to Chang'an City, and Dao Yi set up a banquet in the cold food valley to say goodbye, and there was a plate of beetroot moss on the table. ”
Su Qingming didn't eat, so naturally he didn't think that plate of beetroot moss was anything special.
"It's not seasonal food, the cold food valley has four distinct seasons, even if it can be cultivated with a formation, it is not worth using to grow beetroot moss."
Shen Yunhai explained softly behind him: "Dao Yi returned from the southwest, plus the red cabbage moss, he may have stopped at Xihai Temple. ”
The doctor glanced at him, admired him very much, and thought that it was worthy of Shen Yunhai.
Su Qingming asked, "What was the big deal in the southwest three years ago?" ”
"The collapse of the bone platform is northerly, and there are a few other things worth noting."
The doctor told those things one by one, and then said: "The young master of the Blood Moon Sect, Fu Lixia, suddenly appeared in Xuanzhou for some reason, and was poisoned and killed by the dark downstairs, everyone thought that he would definitely die, who would have thought that he was still alive now, and he had become a guest of the Xihai Sword Sect, this matter has been tacitly accepted by the righteous sects, and he is considered to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”
Shen Yunhai couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This is really more and more unclear. ”
Su Qingming got up and thanked him, and left the medical hall with Shen Yunhai.
Shen Yunhai was a little puzzled, thinking that he didn't see what the master gave the other party, so he left?
The information of these people has always been very expensive, and the news they give today is very valuable - the catkins are okay, mainly on the one hand.
The return from the southwest and a plate of beetroot moss, these two seemingly inconspicuous news, in the eyes of those who are interested, can be deduced a lot of things.
Su Qingming didn't understand why this was either.
When he started dealing with the Moon Shadow Building, the two sides would exchange information, probably because the information he gave was too old or useful, and the Moon Shadow Building had always had a good relationship with him, but then the Moon Shadow Building's attitude towards him became more and more respectful, and it could even be said that he took what he wanted, as if he drove it.
The fairy and demon city is still lively at night, and the smell of mutton can be heard everywhere on both sides of the street.
Su Qingming took Shen Yunhai into a restaurant, asked for a private room at the highest place, and ordered a hot pot, half of which was clear water and half like a flame.
When he traveled around the world with Lu Qian, he developed the habit of ordering hot pot everywhere he went, but he didn't really eat it.
Just like when he saw children like Li Fangyun and the little prince, he would occasionally ask if he wanted to hug him, but he wouldn't really hug him.
Shen Yunhai is his nephew, and he doesn't eat much and doesn't spoil children.
The two of them sat on both sides of the table, watching the green onions and the peppercorns rise and fall in the two-colored soup.
Below the restaurant, the boss took the gold leaf out of his mouth, and couldn't help but look up at the top floor, thinking that it was really two weirdos.
Su Qingming and Shen Yunhai were not in a daze at the hot pot, but thinking, and at the same time listening to the conversation of those diners in the restaurant.
Immortal Demon City is located in the north of the continent, the weather is very cold, and it is relatively close to the cold mountains and snow fields, which is relatively dangerous.
There weren't many ordinary people in the city, but there were plenty of merchants, samurai, and cultivators.
The news here is more complicated, and naturally it is far less than that of the Moon Shadow Building, but occasionally something useful will appear.
