Chapter 299: Panlong Town
Panlong Town is located in the easternmost part of the Kunlun Mountains, because it is named after its back to Panlong Mountain, here is the last resting point of travelers, after Panlong Town continues to go deeper, it is really deserted, only the snow-capped peaks remain.
Xiao Qianye changed out of the clothes of the Kunlun disciples in advance, in order not to attract attention, he just found a simple inn to rest, because he did not feel tired, he quietly went out every two hours to check around, Panlong Town is the largest town in the vicinity, there are more than a dozen small villages scattered around, its climate is cold and inconvenient, but it is a little similar to Feiyuan's Jialuo, the speed of the five princesses and their party is so slow, it must be because of the inconvenience of their legs and feet can only stop and stop along the road to delay time, then he is the best place to stay here, they will definitely stay here for one night before returning to the mountain。
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianye once again carried Gu Chen out of the door, he stayed here for two days, he had to go out seven or eight times a day on average, and today was the fourth time he went out, even the guys downstairs were not surprised, he didn't bother to ask again, and he continued to do his own thing without raising his eyelids.
As soon as he walked out of the inn, he still habitually turned his head, raised his face to look at the majestic mountain behind him, this mountain is a straight peak, from a distance it looks like an erected pillar of heaven, but there are always heavy clouds and mist into the shape of a dragon around the mountain, no matter the wind or rain lingers, it seems to be trying to climb higher to the sky, extending to the place beyond his sight, the dragon is the legendary dragon that hibernates on the ground and has not ascended to the sky, just like the mountain in front of him, located in the easternmost part of Kunlun, as long as you go further, you can enter the legendary fairy mountain。
Panlong, Jiaolong, Qianjiao, Shuiyu, these days he has encountered too many similar but different "dragons", and the real dragon in the legend has already died in the distant realm of the end.
Xiao Qianye sighed inexplicably in his heart, and the ancient dust in his hand seemed to let out a silent sigh at the same time, he glanced down at the ancient knife, and suddenly seemed to be talking to someone, and said lightly: "White Dragon, since the dragon clan and the imperial bird will follow the destiny of heaven to give birth to a new king, why can't the dragon clan fall since your death? Obviously, the Jiaolong clan of the side line is running around for their own survival, why have your descendants never heard from him? He has not appeared so far because of the so-called destiny of heaven...... Isn't it time yet?"
Gu Chen was silent and didn't make any response, but Xiao Qianye laughed softly, knowing that it could hear it.
Xiao Qianye shook his head and said regretfully: "White Dragon, although your descendants did not appear, there are a few stoic people in the Jiaolong clan on the side, but unfortunately, it is a pity that they have to be my enemy, otherwise I hold the remains of the dragon bone in my hand, and I really don't want to hurt them." ”
The golden light of Gu Chen's knife body flashed slightly, as if he was touched by his words, Xiao Qianye continued to walk forward, curious in his heart, and couldn't help but continue to ask: "Bailong, do you regret it?" The great god you love the most, he destroyed the afterimage after your death, he must have regretted it very much at that time, and he must have been heartbroken for you, your best friend did not hesitate to give up the fire of eternal life in order to save you, eternal life...... How many people dream of something, but it gives up for you. ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Qianye suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he didn't know when the memory suddenly swayed in his mind, and even made him stop in place under his feet.
Xiao Qianye stared blankly at his palm, what was going on with this feeling...... Could it be that his ancient ancestor sensed his mood fluctuations and resurfaced those distant memories?
Bai Long and Di Jun, Qi Qi and Di Zhong...... Their experiences are so similar, it's no wonder that my heart is touched when I mention those past events.
In a trance, Gu Chen in his hand seemed to let out a light sigh, Xiao Qianye stared at Gu Chen, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he obeyed the destiny of heaven...... But the Mandate of Heaven has always been the most ridiculous thing, otherwise how could he watch his bloodline suffer for ten thousand years and remain indifferent so far?
Xiao Qianye grinned coldly and smiled unconsciously, he didn't know if the efforts made by the current Jiaolong clan princess named Long Yin were useful, but if everything was really destined, this world should be more boring.
The Heavenly Realm must have understood this very well, right? Each of them has lost all his feelings for people and things, just like the four words he hates the most—obey the destiny of heaven.
Xiao Qianye shook his head, thinking of these non-existent things, he immediately became irritable, he walked quietly to the outside of Panlong Town, out of Panlong Town is actually a barren gravel beach, the adult snow is as hard as iron, the only road is not smooth, it is the villagers of the surrounding villages in order to facilitate the usual purchase of food and dig their own, there will be few caravans from the Central Plains here will come, most of the residents were forced to migrate here in order to escape the war, but for some reason, it is clear that the war in the Central Plains has ended, but these people stayed here to take root and never left。
Why? Xiao Qianye silently asked himself in the bottom of his heart, shouldn't people pursue a richer life? Why did those people, whether it was here or Jialuo, would rather endure the cold and sickness than leave?
He rubbed his head, wanting to discuss this issue with another person in his body, Di Zhong hardly communicated with him during this time, although he would still come back on time every day, but no matter what he said, the other party would not answer, not at all like the person who always spoke in his head on his own before before
Now that he is not here, he has been so elusive since he was able to maintain the Divine Cracking Technique, just simply told him to deal with the matter of insect marks in the mountains, and didn't say much else, at first Xiao Qianye still felt that no one was talking around every day, and he could enjoy a rare quiet time, but after two days, he felt a deep boredom, and separating from Di Zhong was originally something he dreamed of, why is he not used to it now, and even ...... Or even reluctant?
He thought so, people had unconsciously walked far away, Xiao Qianye came back to his senses, turned around and found that he could no longer see Panlong Town, he jumped on the tall boulder next to him as before, and looked into the distance along this road, after making sure that there was no one, he used the sword technique to control Gu Chen to fly into the air to check again, although Di Zhong was not by his side, his eyes were still the ice blue unique to the beast, and he could see higher and farther than normal people, as long as the five princesses and his party were nearby, he would definitely be able to find out.
About half an hour later, seeing that the sky began to gradually turn dark again, Xiao Qianye knew that today would definitely be in vain, sure enough, the master said that they would take about three days, and he had nothing to gain after two days of guarding here, so now it is better to go back and rest for a night, and estimate that it should be tomorrow.
Xiao Qianye landed again from the air and returned along the road, the residents of Panlong Town actually rested very early, at this time it was slightly dark, most of the people had already closed their doors and turned off the lights, and when the shopkeeper saw him come back, he raised his eyelids lazily, and asked habitually: "Childe is back, do you want to go out tonight?"
"No, I won't. Xiao Qianye smiled faintly, last night he ran out three times in one night, even if he had put the footsteps to the lightest, he could still be found by the little guy who kept vigil every time, this guy was small, he woke up immediately after a little trouble, tossed all night He couldn't open his eyes a little today, and he couldn't help covering his mouth with his sleeves and yawning, the little guy heard him say this, obviously he breathed a long sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and immediately changed to a greeting look with a hippie smile, and said happily, " Also, it's cold at night, and it's not very peaceful in the mountains lately, so don't run around and go to bed early. ”
"In the mountains...... Isn't it peaceful?" Xiao Qianye had already stepped on the stairs with one foot, and when he heard his words, he turned around and walked back, he naturally knew that the territory of Kunlun had been rampant recently, so he had been secretly paying attention since he arrived in Panlong Town, originally thinking that this area was quite peaceful, and the residents in the city did not talk about the recent anomaly, it seemed that the ghost disaster did not spread to this point.
The young man nodded, his face was grim, and his eyes flashed, as if he had seen a terrifying scene with his own eyes, and suddenly jumped over, lowered his voice and tugged at his sleeve and said: " Well, I also heard from the guests, it is said that they are passing by the Ping Village thirty miles to the west, and they wanted to find someone to rest there nearby, who knew that after entering the house, they found that all the people were dead, and there were a few hungry snow wolves in it to gnaw on the bones, and there was not even a whole corpse left in the village, and the guests were so frightened that they hurried to Panlong Town overnight, and they also invited the goddess to go to the guest room to recite the scriptures, and it is estimated that they were scared and could not sleep well. ”
"Was it invaded by the snow wolf?" Xiao Qianye asked suspiciously, there are many snow wolves living in Kunlun Mountain, if the climate is particularly bad, the snow wolf who is so hungry that he loses his mind will indeed take the initiative to attack the human village, the young man heard him say this, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, he glanced at Xiao Qianye a few times, a frightened look appeared on his face, and said in a low voice: " It wasn't that he was bitten to death by a snow wolf, the guest was still talking about it just now, saying that Pingcun was full of dense black ants, and some even fought with snow wolves, and ants and wolves fought, hey, don't you think it's strange?"
"Ant ......" Xiao Qianye was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around and stared at the little guy, a string of cold sweat broke out on the back of the young man at this glance, and he was surprised to find that this person's eyes were a rare ice blue, he immediately let go of Xiao Qianye's sleeve, nodded and repeated with palpitations, "Yes, it's ants, the first thing those guests do after they move in is to ask for a lot of freshly boiled water, and they pour it directly on their bodies without looking at it, and it's not too hot." ”
Xiao Qianye closed his eyes tightly, black ants! Could it be the kind of Gu ant that was on him at that time? That thing killed two young children in Feiyuan, and now it has intensified and directly slaughtered an entire village?
It must be a Gu ant, Meng Zhou was originally the master of the Palace of Eternal Life, and the insect control technique of the eldest princess of Mingyu was actually given by him, did that person really want to drag the entire Kunlun Mountain to be buried with him?
Xiao Qianye barely cheered up, the young man saw that he looked uncertain, and he didn't dare to talk to himself anymore at this time, he just wanted to slip away, Xiao Qianye quickly brought him back to his eyes, and asked sternly: "Which room do those guests live in now, and are there any other abnormalities after moving in?"
Although the young man is thin and small, he is actually a very flexible person, but at this time, he felt that he was unconscious and unable to move, and instantly realized that this person's origin was not simple, he immediately nodded and pointed to the innermost guest room on the second floor, and quickly replied: "In addition to taking a bath with boiling water, I also asked the goddess to chant the scriptures and said that it was for the deceased to be exceeded, oh yes, the goddess has not come out yet, and I don't know if they have finished exceeding." ”
Xiao Qianye already knew in his heart that something was wrong, so he didn't care about talking to the little guy, and strode directly to the second floor.
