Chapter Seventy-Three: Terrible Doom
Something happened to a friend.......... Is it the fifth, or the other juniors that the Golden Lotus Daoist knows?
Xu Qi'an made an appropriate puzzled expression: "Where is that little friend of the Taoist Chief, and you need me to mobilize the people of the imperial court?"
Daoist Jin Lian shook his head and said, "She's in Xiangzhou." ”
Xiangzhou is in the south of the capital, and the distance is about 400 kilometers........ Neither near nor far. Xu Qi'an frowned and said: "The Taoist chief has something to do, and this official has an unshirkable responsibility, but I have to go to the yamen to ask for a leave first, after all, this is a long way to go." ”
Jin Liandao bowed his head: "You ask the people in the house to ask for leave tomorrow, let's set off tonight, hurry up......... By the way, what about the prophet?
"If you want to find someone, you must have the help of Qi Magic. ”
"She's ......... Si Tianjian" Xu Qi'an exhaled and said in a joking tone: "Okay, I'll go to her mother's house and find her." ”
This prophet must have been a woman........ No. 6 Hengyuan and No. 4 Chu Yuanzhen gave guesses in their hearts at the same time.
The three of them immediately entered the house and waited, while Xu Qi'an took the little mare from the backyard and rode it to Si Tianjian.
Si Tianjian's lights were not extinguished all night, Xu Qi'an entered the lobby on the first floor, and asked the pharmacists who were doing research on the liver: "Which senior brother is going to pass it on, I will find Senior Sister Zhong Li." ”
The atmosphere stiffened suddenly, and the pharmacists exchanged glances, and then said, "Senior Sister Zhong Li is on the ground floor, you ........ later"
A white-clothed person entered the room, and a few seconds later, a loud roar came: "Senior Sister Zhong Li, Gongzi Xu is coming to you." ”
With that, the warlock hurried out, as fast as if a great worm was chasing after him.
In the lobby, the other white-clothed men left their work behind and rushed to the stairs. In an instant, the lobby was quiet, and there was no one except Xu Qi'an.
After a few more minutes, Zhong Li came out of it, his hair scattered, wearing a coarse cloth robe, and his head bowed slightly.
Very standard mourning dress.
"I'm going to leave Beijing to do some errands, and I'll be back soon, and I need your strength. Xu Qi'an was not polite and spoke straightforwardly.
"Oh. ”
Zhong Li nodded concisely, there is a tool man who should be well-behaved.
The two left Si Tianjian side by side, Xu Qi'an rode a horse, and Zhong Li walked, no slower than the little mare.
After a short time, he returned to the Xu Mansion and joined the three members of the Heaven and Earth Society led by the Golden Lotus Daoist.
Chu Yuanzhen said: "It is not suitable to fly in the inner city, let's go to the outer city, and bother Brother Xu to take us out of the city." ”
If he is alone, it doesn't hurt to fly away in the inner city, and the masters in the city will not stop or attack for the sake of the human sect.
But if there are too many people, they will not be able to turn a blind eye, which will only increase the trouble.
At that moment, Xu Qi'an took the three of them out of the house, with Xu Qi'an, the silver gong, leading the way, whether it was a watchman or a royal sword guard, he only did routine interrogation, and did not stop him more.
On the way, Daoist Jin Lian looked at Xu Qi'an and said in a deep voice: "No. 5 is missing." ”
Chu Yuanzhen immediately looked at Xu Qi'an.
Xu Qi'an said blankly: "What are you talking about, Dao Chief? Well, why didn't Dao Leader attach to the cat today." ”
The Golden Lotus Daoist said quietly: "No. 5 is the serial number of the holder of the fragment of the Book of the Ground, you should know this, it is thanks to you that you saved Hengyuan that day." Well, what's wrong with the cat, you say?"
Xu Qi'an let out an "oh", "It's nothing, it's my mistake." ”
Daoist Jin Lian nodded in satisfaction.
Xu Qi'an also nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Yuanzhen looked at the two of them first, then at Hengyuan, and said with a smile: "Is it Master Hengyuan who saved during the Sangbo case?"
Hengyuan Daoist clasped his hands together: "I lost Lord Xu at the beginning." ”
Hengyuan was indeed involved in the Sambo case, and he said in the fragments of the book from the ground that it was all Xu Qi'an's credit to be able to get out of the yamen of the watchman......... Now it seems that there is an inside story behind this matter, and the Golden Lotus Daoist contacted Xu Qi'an through the third number, that is to say, Xu Qi'an knew about the existence of the Heaven and Earth Society and the fragments of the Book of the Ground.
In this way, I am even more convinced of a guess, although Daoist Jin Lian gave the fragment of the Book of the Ground to Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy, he actually wanted both.
Chu Yuanzhen smiled and said nothing.
When he arrived in the outer city, Chu Yuanzhen patted his back, and the magic weapon of the Renzong flew out with a sword and sheath, hanging in the air.
The Golden Lotus Daoist took out a paper crane from his arms and threw it gently, and the paper crane instantly turned into a big bird with a body length of seven feet, flapping its wings and circling.
"Daoist, I'll follow you!" Xu Qi'an hurriedly said.
This fool will choose, Chu Yuanzhen is a standing ticket, and Jinlian Daoist is a sitting ticket.
Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen jumped onto the scabbard and broke through the air with a "boom".
After Xu Qi'an and Daoist Jin Lian sat on the white crane, they found that the position was not enough, and Zhong Li had no seat.
"Can a warlock fly?" asked Xu Qi'an towards the "mourning girl" below.
"No, the teleportation formation can only be cast if you have four grades. Zhong Li shook his head.
Xu Qi'an looked around, looked at his thighs, and suggested, "Sit on my whip." ”
"It's okay!" said the Golden Lotus Daoist took off the wooden hairpin and threw it to Zhong Li.
Zhong Li held the wooden hairpin, and under its leadership, he rushed into the air with a "boom", followed by Chu Yuanzhen's flying sword.
Dao Chief, your path is narrow......... Xu Qian said
The white crane flutters its wings and flies.
.............
The flying swords, paper cranes, and wooden hairpins grew taller and taller, and slowly, the scenery on the surface began to blur.
Call....... The clouds broke through, and a sword and a crane broke through the clouds.
The night sky is as blue as a wash, with a crescent moon hanging, and the sea of clouds under your feet is frozen and motionless.
The world fell silent in an instant.
"We're in the stratosphere. Xu Qi'an said.
He couldn't open his eyes when the strong wind blew, and when the voice came out of his mouth, he would immediately be torn apart by the strong wind, and the communication could only be transmitted.
The Golden Lotus Daoist also closed his eyes, replacing his eyes with the Yuan Shen, and after receiving Xu Qi'an's transmission, he said in surprise: "Stratosphere?"
"I'm talking nonsense, Dao Chief, tell me about the situation on the fiveth. Xu Qi'an passed the message.
"The last time the internal communication of the Heaven and Earth Society ended, the fifth did not respond, and at that time I could still sense the location of the fragment of the book from the ground in Xiangzhou, and the next day, I suddenly lost the sense with the fragment. Golden Lotus Daoist said in a deep voice.
"Did the fifth encounter the Demon Dao of the Earth Sect?" Xu Qi'an's face changed slightly, giving a guess.
"It's possible. Daoist Jin Lian nodded.
That's why you invited me, Hengyuan, and Chu Yuanzhen to act together......... The Taoist chief's desire to survive is still quite strong. Xu Qi'an nodded and assessed his own combat power.
On the surface, it is a martial arts system, but in fact, Chu Yuanzhen, who cultivates the sword path of the Human Sect, should have four grades of real combat power, even if it doesn't arrive, it is not too much worse.
On the surface, it is a Buddhist system, but in fact it is the sixth Hengyuan of Wufu, which is not easy to judge, after all, it has never been a fight. Hengyuan's combat experience is also very small.
Then there is the Golden Lotus Daoist, I remember that he was chased and killed by the Purple Lotus of the Fourth Rank and fled all the way into the capital, and the strength level of the Golden Lotus Daoist should not be weaker than the Fourth Grade.
The reason is that he was not injured by Purple Lotus, but by the head of the Earth Sect who entered the demon. Even so, he was still able to escape in the pursuit of the four-grade purple lotus.
If you encounter the Demon Dao of the Earth Sect, then, below the third grade, we are as stable as an old dog........ Xu Qi thought with peace of mind.
An hour later, Daoist Jin Lian sent a message to everyone: "When you arrive, the area below you is a hundred miles, and it should be the place where No. 5 disappeared." I still haven't sensed the fragments of the Book from the Ground. ”
The crowd descended from the clouds and swooped down to the ground.
The surface of the ground changed from blurry to clear, and Xu Qi'an saw the outline of a big city in the east, and with the big city as the core, there were many scattered villages and small towns.
The four of them landed in a mountain forest, and Daoist Jin Lian and Chu Yuanzhen meditated cross-legged to restore their qi.
Hengyuan protected the Dharma for them, and Xu Qi'an wandered alone in the mountains and forests, beating two pheasants and a roe deer.
Returning to the meditation site, Xu Qi'an asked, "Which of you brought the pot?"
"I brought it. ”
Chu Yuanzhen opened his eyes, just wanted to get up and walked into the nearby woods, took out the iron pot, and thought about it, since Xu Qi'an knew the existence of the fragments of the Book of the Ground, there was no need to hide it.
So they took out the fragments of the book from the ground, took out the iron pot, and the four of them built two bonfires, which were used to stew the broth and barbecue respectively.
No matter which system it is, after consumption, it has to replenish energy, and the body cannot give birth to power out of thin air.
"I still have a ........ here"
Chu Yuanzhen took out two more jars of wine, ate them with barbecue and broth, and explained: "When you go south and north, you must bring two things. One, pots and pans. Second, toilet paper. ”
Xu Qi'an raised the porcelain vase, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Now there is a third item: chicken essence." ”
Chu Yuanzhen immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Ningyan is a wonderful person and interesting!
Chu Yuanzhen has no flaws, but I can't give up, I must find a way to let him die.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After he was full of wine and food, Daoist Jin Lian took a withered branch and tied up his gray hair, and then, his face suddenly stiffened.
"What about the soothsayer?"
Hearing this, Xu Qi'an's face suddenly stiffened,, where is Zhong Li?
"I remember when I landed, she was still by my side, and later, somehow I forgot about her........." Xu Qi'an's face turned pale.
"It should be nearby, let's look for it together, be careful, and in addition, hurry. The Golden Lotus Daoist said in a deep voice:
"This is more urgent than saving Five, who may be fine, but if the prophet goes, it may be ........ if he goes late."
Hengyuan didn't understand the warlock system, and asked, "What's it?"
Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice: "It's cold." ”
Daoist Jin Lian nodded silently.
The four of them quickly dispersed, and a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an found Zhong Li, and when she landed, she fell into a deep pit. Then the woman crouched in the pit and did not move.
It wasn't until Xu Qi'an came and heard his voice that Zhong Li climbed out.
By the bonfire, Zhong Li sat on the ground with his back to everyone, holding his knees, his shoulders thin, and his back was lonely.
"I really didn't mean to forget you, don't be angry, okay. ”
Xu Qi'an apologized and explained: "I am, I am....... I forgot about it if I was not careful. ”
Zhong Li sat there with his knees crossed, ignoring him.
Chu Yuanzhen sighed and watched the play with a smile.
Master Hengyuan clasped his hands together and wondered: "There is no danger around, why didn't Master Zhong come out on his own?"
"It's not dangerous to you. Zhong Li said in a low voice: "According to my past experience, in such a situation, it is safest to stay where you are and wait for rescue.
"If I come out, I will encounter all kinds of crises, maybe it is a meteorite falling from the sky, maybe it is encountering a big demon or evil cultivator passing by, and so on.
"Bad luck cannot be snooped on, it cannot be divined, it can happen at any time, such as ........."
Before he finished speaking, the bonfire suddenly cracked, splashing a string of sparks and lighting Zhongli's hair.
"Be careful!"
Hengyuan's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously picked up the hot broth and threw it at Zhong Li.
When it was, Xu Qi'an stood in front of Zhong Li, waved his qi machine, and swept away all the hot broth.
Zhong Li hugged Xu Qi'an's thigh, trembling.
Chu Yuan was dumbfounded.
The scene fell silent all at once.
In the silent atmosphere, Hengyuan clasped his hands together and said with pity: "Master Zhong, even if there are thousands of Buddha lamps in the world, they can't shine through the darkness around you. Amitabha. ”
Daoist Jin Lian and Chu Yuanzhen followed with their hands together and said with pity: "Amitabha." ”
Dao Chief, you are a Taoist boss, what Buddha name do you read.......... Although Zhong Li is miserable, I just want to laugh......... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.
He reached out and touched Zhongli's head as a sign of comfort.
"Just now, when I landed just now, I found that there was a problem with the feng shui nearby, and there was a big tomb at the bottom of the mountains in the south. Zhong Li whispered.
