51. Shielding
"You're saying there's a good chance that the signal in this area is blocked?"
Murong Tian carried a lantern and walked through the winding path of the dense forest.
"Host, I'm not sure, I've scanned all the Liuxian Mountains, but I can't detect the Jade Void Peak."
The strange snake that inexplicably disappeared in the Yuping Forest that day had already made him and Yu Qing suspicious, so as soon as he came out of the forbidden domain, Yu Qing asked him to investigate in the realm of Liuxian Mountain.
He scanned it with the system, and there was nothing abnormal in most of the area, only when he reached the Jade Void Peak, he couldn't detect any information, as if some abnormal power had exerted an information barrier.
It is almost late autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the day is still clear, the cool breeze is warm, and the night is frosty, cold and cold, and the air is dry and cold.
The ghost shadows of the pine forest rustled, and a few dead branches were broken under their feet, making a clicking sound.
Through the gap in the dense forest, there seemed to be a light flickering in front of me, and a faint human voice came.
Near, a group of attendants dressed in palace guard costumes were stationed at the edge of the dense forest.
In the distance, several stone paths covered by bamboos lead to exquisite pavilions, bucket arches and cornices, carved beams and painted buildings.
It should be the place where the Great Prince and some other dignitaries of the Liuxian Sect stayed - Lan Cui Xuan.
The voice of the "host ......" system trembled a little.
"I feel that this place, there are... Strong... interference..."
With a "Zla", the system fell silent.
"Hey! Feed! ”
"Brother System, are you still there? Say something! ”
No matter how much he shouted, the system was silent.
Murong Tian was a little flustered, this was the first time since he left the Dead God Ridge that the system was not by his side.
What kind of power the hell! Can even his system be shielded together?
He thought of the dumb old Dao of Shangyang Temple, Fang Zhixin, the village chief of Shiping Village, and the white light of the Dead God Ridge that distorted time and space......
The undetectable mysterious power that transcended the Six Realms was like a sword of Damocles, hanging above his head, making him shudder.
Last time in the Dead God Ridge, the system hid on the grounds that the magnetic field was different and he was afraid of being exposed, allowing him to face the crisis alone.
And this time? Is it the same?
When lives are at stake, will it reappear?
"簌簌"簌簌"
The leaves shook, and a black shadow swept around the branches like lightning, and swooped down on him.
"Bell!"
Murong Tian picked up the sword in a panic and blocked it, and the black shadow smashed on the scabbard and was thrown out.
The scabbard made of dark iron was smashed out of a nest.
The black shadow struck again, and Murong Tian dodged in embarrassment, holding his head and turning over.
The movement alarmed the attendants at the edge of the dense forest, the torches were lit, and several figures hurried in, one of them recognized Murong Tian and shouted:
"Senior brother!"
This person's face is like black iron, and his voice is like a loud bell, it is the predecessor of the Celebrity Immortal Sect, Murong Tian's senior brother.
With his superb physical cultivation skills, he avoided the attack of the giant serpent and the invasion of mudslides, only suffered some minor injuries, and continued to perform his duties by the side of the eldest prince.
Murong Tian didn't have time to respond, the black shadow was tireless, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards him again, like a ghost.
Although it was only an inch long, the impact force was huge, the angle was unexpected, and the speed was so fast that he was left and right.
When the forest was rolling, a blue coat was already muddy and scratched, and several openings were drawn.
The shadow struck again, with a "whoosh" sound, like a sharp arrow coming out of its sheath, about to crash into his face.
The predecessor of the Flowing Immortal Sect deducted the crossbow in his hand.
Between the lightning and flint, a quiet flute sounded out.
The crossbow arrow shot into the air and nailed into the trunk of the tree behind Murong Tian, and entered the wood for three points.
The shadow froze, fell from the sky, and writhed on the ground with a hissing sound.
With a little firelight, Murong Tian was able to see its true face-
It's very similar to the strange snake that appeared in the Yuping Forest!
A woman in a red shirt stepped out of the stone path, tall, with red gold eyes, generous facial features, and a delicate pagoda hanging from her waist.
The flute sounded, and the strange snake danced with it.
The person who came was none other than Ye Wanru, the sect leader of the Imperial Spirit Sect.
Murong Tian couldn't help but be stunned, and watched Ye Wanru play the flute steadily.
This scene is very similar to what you see in the Netherworld Fengjia Inn!
Why can she use the flute to control this thing like Feng Yuchan?
The flute stopped.
Ye Wanru said loudly: "You approached rashly, Xiao Qi regarded you as an intruder, so he attacked you, and he is usually very obedient." ”
"Little Seven?"
Murong Tian pointed to the "strange snake" that was already motionless under his feet, curled up together, with his vertical pupils without light, as if he was dead.
"Is that its name? Does it have any other siblings? ”
Ye Wanru smiled: "Yes, yes, but it's not its kind, and it's not here, if you have the opportunity to come to the Imperial Spirit Sect, I will introduce you to it one by one." ”
The senior of the Liuxian Sect let go of his hand, put down his bow and crossbow and approached, carefully probing Murong Tian, and seeing that he only had some skin injuries on his body, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately straightened his face again:
"Do you know that this is where the Grand Prince of the Xuanyuan Clan and other distinguished guests live? If you wish to visit, you must inform the elders in advance, and you can only enter after the elders have communicated to your guests. ”
Murong Tian touched the back of his head, the purpose of this trip was not to visit distinguished guests, he really forgot about these complicated processes.
There was the sound of footsteps on the stone path, and a man with a luxurious temperament and elegant clothes walked out slowly.
Xuanyuan Lianxi didn't have much of a fight, he was quite approachable, looked at him, and said kindly:
"Are you Yu Qing's junior brother? If you have an urgent visit, you don't have to be so complicated, just let the crane pass it on. ”
Murong Tian arched his hand and said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry to have no intention of offending and disturbing Your Highness. I'm here to investigate the matter of the strange snake in Yuping Forest, and the 'Xiao Qi' I met today seems to be from the hands of Sect Master Ye? ”
Ye Wanru explained on the side:
"'Xiao Qi' was not developed by me, but His Highness gave me the 'strange snake' caught in the Yuping Forest. I saw that its structure was somewhat similar to the machine game in the palace of Wang Ji in Zhongzhou, so I made some adjustments. ”
Murong Tianqi said: "Machine play? Xuanyuan Wang Ji is also proficient in mechanical arts? Can she make a similar machine? ”
Xuanyuan Lianxi stroked the wrench in his hand, his expression was still kind, but his eyes were deep, staring at the motionless "strange snake":
"My sister has a wide range of knowledge, if you talk about the grasp of machinery, this Kyushu continent, maybe you can't find someone who can stand side by side."
Ye Wanru admired it: "Wang Ji has personally developed countless machines, although they are called 'play', but all of them are exquisitely structured and ingenious, if they can be widely used in production ......"
Xuanyuan Lianxi suddenly interrupted her and led the topic to Murong Tian:
"You just said that you came to investigate the strange snake in Yuping Forest? What did you find? ”
