Chapter 41: The White Mist
Lin Jingzhen used the earth escape charm for the first time, only to feel that his whole body was wrapped in a thick piece of soil, and he shuttled forward quickly.
It was pitch black all around, and there was not a single ray of light.
Suddenly, there was a sense of relief above his head, and the feeling of tightness around his body broke through, and then a dazzling light shot from the front.
He closed his eyes tightly, and after getting used to it, Fang opened his eyes and found himself and Wang Shiliang in the middle of a desert.
The power of the Earth Escape Talisman was exhausted, and it turned into a cloud of gray smoke in his palm, drifting away with the wind.
Wang Shiliang gasped, shrunk his heels, stared blankly at the surroundings, and looked in a trance.
"Lin, Daoist Lin, where did you take me?"
"Deep in the desert."
"Ahh Wang Shiliang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "This is definitely not true, this must be a trick." ”
As he spoke, he took a step forward and hurried forward with his legs raised.
"This man?" Lin rubbed his nose in surprise and sat helplessly.
When his physical strength was exhausted, he returned to Lin Jingzhen's side unhappy.
"Believe it." Lin looked at him and asked.
"I believe it." Wang Shiliang said dejectedly: "Do you have water?" ”
"Nope."
"What's behind your back?"
"Wine."
"Why haven't I seen you drink it?"
"Why do you want to drink it?"
"You're a man." Wang Shiliang pointed at him and said, "There is not much difference in age between you and me, why do you always talk so dullly, just like my father, without any joy." ”
"Huh." Lin Jingzhen immediately performed the water archery technique, using the wind control technique as a paving, condensing into a stream of water, and said: "If you are thirsty, you will use your mouth to catch it." ”
Wang Shiliang had seen this kind of method, and wanted to observe the truth and falsehood, but his mouth was too thirsty, so without saying a word, he stretched out his head, and drank with the help of his mouth.
"Is there a bronze mirror among your ancestral treasures?"
"yes." After drinking the water, Wang Shiliang replied casually.
"Don't you have a sister? Why didn't the bronze mirror pass it on to her, but give it to your eldest brother? ”
"Why are you asking this?" Wang Shiliang frowned, and suddenly said, "Are you all laughing at my brother for carrying a woman's things?" ”
"I don't, but I don't know if the other juniors have any ideas." Lin followed his words and responded.
"My brother is also pitiful, he can only inherit this woman's bronze mirror when he is born."
"What do you mean by that?"
"This bronze mirror was originally given to my grandfather by the ancestors of the Chu State, and after my grandfather passed away, this bronze mirror was passed on to my grandfather, and then to my grandfather, then to my father, and then to my eldest brother, and this mirror can only be passed on to the eldest son, and the eldest son is also the heir of the head of the family."
"Since your eldest brother chose to go up the mountain to practice, he also chose to give up the position of the head of the family, why didn't this mirror come directly to you?"
"Why are you interested in this ordinary bronze mirror?" Wang Shiliang looked at Lin suspiciously, "You don't think that mirror is a magic weapon, right?" ”
"On a whim, I think it's just weird, if it's a magic weapon, your eldest brother will definitely use it to brag with us."
"It's the pole, it's the pole." Wang Shiliang said: "My eldest brother likes to brag to someone the most, and he likes to brag to someone close to him the most, and his ears can grow calluses when he listens to a lot..."
When he said this, his expression was suddenly sullen and worried.
"What's wrong?"
"I miss my brother."
"Well, your brother should miss you in the mountains."
"My brother mentioned me to you?"
"Hmm."
"Sure enough, my brother misses me too."
Lin Jingzhen didn't talk to him too much about his brother, after all, there are traces to follow if he talks too much, besides, the clues of the bronze mirror have been obtained, as long as he arrives in Cangzhou City, find an excuse, say goodbye to them, and then blend into the imperial city, follow the trail to find the next clue.
"Brother Lin, when are we going back?" Wang Shiliang began to learn to change his words and try to get close to Lin Jingjing.
"Not going back."
"Ahh
"Your royal convoy should be looking for it soon." Lin Jingzhen explained.
"But I still want to see Brother Lin's tricks of flying through the clouds."
"Didn't I tell you that there was a wolf thief behind him? If I expose the means in advance, I can't be taken by surprise. ”
"Okay." Wang Shiliang said: "Or, are you using the same trick just now, turning me into my sister and scaring my sister?" ”
"Those methods are very precious, and I can only use them a few times."
"Stingy."
"Say whatever you want."
"Hmph, it's all a trick to deceive, what's there to see." Wang Shiliang turned his head and was sullen, after all, he was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and he was naturally curious about everything.
Lin Jingzhen closed his eyes, separated his senses, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Within a mile, it was all shrouded in his divine sense.
"Brother Lin, why don't you show me other means." Wang Shiliang felt that it was too boring to sit alone, so he shook Lin Jing's arm next to him, blinked his eyes and said, "It's a big deal that I introduced my sister to you as compensation?" ”
"What did you say?"
"I said I'll introduce my sister to you."
Lin Jingzhen only felt that his brain was big, this pair of father and son, one kissed his own daughter, and the other pushed his own sister into other people's arms, and sure enough, there was a father and a son.
"Do you think my sister isn't good-looking?"
"It's not..."
As night fell, the two also returned to the Wang team.
It's night, and the stars are blooming.
The Wang team gathered in a circle with vehicles and horses, and outside the circle, there were people in all four directions to keep watch for the night.
In the dream, in the mirror world.
"Miss Lin, this bronze mirror is not the ancestral heirloom of the Wang family."
"Oh." Lin Xiyao responded lightly, without the slightest mood swing.
"Don't you have a little curiosity about who gave this bronze mirror to the ancestors of the Wang family?" Lin shook his nose and asked.
"You'll always say it." Lin Xiyao said lightly.
"Alright, alright." Lin said helplessly, and he didn't sell Guan Zi: "Actually, this bronze mirror was given to the ancestors of the Wang family by the ancestors of the Chu State. ”
"Hmm."
"Why aren't you curious, why did the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom give them an ordinary mirror to the ancestors of the Wang family?"
"Why should I be curious?" Lin Xiyao's voice was still faint, and it seemed that the clues of the mirror could not arouse her interest in the slightest.
"This..."As soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and in the face of Lin Xiyao's indifferent attitude, he was also used to it earlier.
"I'm going to Cangzhou City to see if I can find the next clue."
"Okay."
"Cangzhou's journey doesn't seem to be peaceful, is the girl..."
"You can not go."
"How can this be done, for the sake of the girl, I can go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire..."
"Flim Flam." Lin Xiyao snorted, and lightly touched the hilt of the sword with his palm, and the frightened Lin stopped talking.
"I don't want to hear that."
"Yes, I promise..."
The blue wolf thief did not choose to sneak attack, and the Wang horse team spent the night safely.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the horse team began to set off for the boundless desert.
Inside the carriage, Xiaoli stared curiously at the wine gourd behind Lin Jing.
"Real person, do you have wine in this gourd?"
"Hmm."
"Then why hasn't Xiaoli ever drunk it from a real person?"
"I don't like to drink."
"Why is the real person carrying a wine gourd?"
"Beautiful."
"Poof."
Xiaoli covered her mouth and smiled: "It's also good-looking for real people not to carry wine gourds." ”
"Yes." Lin Jingzhen smiled faintly.
"Does that jar behind the real man also contain wine?"
"It's not." Lin was stunned for a moment, his expression a little gloomy, "That's the thought of pretending to be a person." ”
"Thoughts? Xiaoli didn't understand. ”
"It's best if you don't understand."
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin."
Wang Shiliang's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage: "Dad called you to go over for dinner together." ”
Wang Yi, that old man called me over for dinner?
Lin was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that the old man would not think of squeezing his daughter to me.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat."
"No, Daddy insisted that you go over, saying that he had something to discuss with you."
"Do you want me to go?" Lin shook his nose and thought, "That old man doesn't really want to rub his daughter and me into a good thing." ”
Take advantage of others and suffer from others' shortcomings.
Lin Jingzhen did not refuse, after all, he had the ancestral bronze mirror, this trip still had to pass, and he couldn't do too much, after all, if he cut through the mess quickly and cut off their thoughts, there would be a lot less trouble.
Wang's horse team walked on the desert for another five days, and they were getting closer and closer to the edge of the desert.
That night, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, and the light rain fell on the dry sand and was evaporated in an instant.
After walking for several days, everyone was already physically and mentally exhausted, and they lost their former vigor.
Everyone sat on the turf of the makeshift camping, drinking water, eating dry food, looking at the dark desert, and their hearts were full of sorrow.
At the end of the day, everyone fell asleep one after another.
On this night, it was Gu Changshou's turn to lead people to keep vigil.
Although Gu Changshou was the commander, because the number of guards was too small, he had to be included in the establishment of the vigil.
In the barren desert, a gust of wind suddenly came, the wind was not strong, and it was gently blowing on people, so comfortable.
Gu Changshou had a big knife on his neck, leaned on the side of a carriage, looked at the desert in the distance, and felt the gentleness in the wind.
Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in front of him, which made him jump up suddenly, and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”
All the night watchmen struck a spirit, jumped up, and someone directly rang the brass talk, and the terrible sound was far away in the desert, like the nightingale bird screaming violently, and it was terrifying in an instant.
In the gentle night breeze, there was a strange smell that seemed to be absent.
Gu Changshou frowned, he felt that the smell was a little strange, but he couldn't remember what was strange, so he hurriedly covered his nostrils and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention, there is a strange smell in this wind, so as not to be framed by thieves, cover Lao Tzu's nostrils and don't take a deep breath." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out the knife he had with him and stared at the white dot in the distance.
The white dot was getting closer and closer, and suddenly I saw that the white dot was a human figure, and it was clearly a white mist blowing along with the breeze.
He frowned, what does this wolf thief want to do? Do you really want to poison us with these white mist?
Because of his reminder, everyone surrounded the bridge of their noses and mouths with strips of cloth, so that the strange smell in the wind could not take advantage of it.
"What is this?" A guard asked Gu Changshou on the side.
"I don't know." Gu Changshou frowned: "But this white mist must be strange, otherwise it wouldn't have been inexplicably drifting with the breeze in the middle of the night." ”
"Hmm." The guard nodded.
Gu Changshou suddenly looked up at him, feeling a little strange, although this person was his subordinate, he would never take the initiative to talk to him, why did he act abnormally today? I can't help but have an eye on him in my heart.
