The drizzle, with the yin wind between heaven and earth, fell obliquely, bringing up a gray mist in Xuanyuan City, and also bringing a biting chill in early spring between heaven and earth.

In such weather, most of the ghost soldiers in the city are only willing to nest in military tents and barracks, drink a few sips of hot wine, and have a few fragrant barbecue meats.

For a long time, there was no control of the commanders and ghosts, so that the originally fierce and fierce Xudu army stationed in Fenglin Continent was relaxed, and its combat effectiveness dropped rapidly.

Once the weather is bad, all the Xudu soldiers in Fenglin Continent can think about is nesting in their own barracks.

However, General Gan was already one of the top military commanders here at this time, and he was still somewhat restrained against these ghost soldiers. As soon as he gave the order, the ghost soldiers around him didn't dare to complain, and hurriedly put away the idea of going back to the camp to rest and keep warm, turned around and left, gathered soldiers and horses, and searched for Taifeng in all directions outside the city according to General Gan's request.

After a while, Xuanyuan City became lively and noisy. After receiving the order, the beast soul cavalry in the Xudu army set out in the rain one after another. Beast spirits of all kinds rushed through the streets and alleys of the city, and the wind rushed out of the city in all directions.

In the wind and rain, the hooves and claws of the beast soul splashed countless muddy water in the muddy city.

The infantry and ghost soldiers of the Xudu Army were also assembled in the blink of an eye, and immediately followed the cavalry to rush out of the city, scattering in all directions, and once again bringing up splashes of mud outside the city.

In the blink of an eye, the garrisons in Xuanyuan City went out of the city one after another, and went out of the city together according to numerology, killing the mountains and forests and plains around the city, between the rural towns and the farmland and medicine fields, looking for the traces of Taifeng.

The air cavalry flew into the air, and through the rain and fog, they searched the ground. But the spring rain was too dense, so that they couldn't see anything except the vague scenery after a fog.

It's just a pretense, hovering leisurely in the air. The main search task was given to the infantry and cavalry on the ground, who were staggering in the wind and rain.

The second general Gan Liu climbed on the south gate of Xuanyuan City, stood in front of the city gate tower, overlooking the wind and rain outside the city, and scattered in the wind and rain, searching for the ghost soldiers of Taifeng everywhere.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the dense rain curtain outside the city, there are also many ghost soldiers. It was scattered all over the city. After the army left the city, the ghosts and patrols in the city also got busy, and began to search for Taifeng from house to house, disturbing the chickens and dogs in the city.

General Liu was no longer angry, and his face was a little calmer. With such a large density of searches, whether Tai Feng is hiding inside or outside the city, he will be discovered quickly.

And he has already sent his subordinates to ride fast beast souls to the cities and towns on all sides of Xuanyuan City, so that the local garrison can set up cards on the main roads as soon as possible.

At the same time, garrisons in various places also began to search for Taifeng.

General Liu thinks that the net of heaven and earth has been laid, and Taifeng is already unable to fly. But he didn't know that Taifeng didn't run away at all, but was far away in front of him.

Just when the Xudu army, under the command of the second general Gan Liu, was in and out of Xuanyuan City with great fanfare, intensively searching for the noisy city where Taifeng died, three feet underground in the city, a secret passage buried between the rocks in the soil, but it was very quiet, and there was no noise and noise at all.

The silent dark passage is only about half a zhang high, and the width is equal to the height, but it is very long, and there is no end in sight before and after, as if it is traversing the underground of Xuanyuan City.

And in such an empty dark passage, the slightest noise can bring a big echo.

Somewhere in the dark passage, a lone lamp stood on the ground, and the flames of beans lit up about half a foot around. Tai Feng followed the four Xuanjiao disciples of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who had never left his body, and sat around this lonely lamp.

They nibble on the jerky and flatbread in their hands and drink water from the water bags in their hands. Compared with the Xudu army who searched for Taifeng in the wind and rain on the ground, they were very comfortable.

The two generals of Xudu Army and Ganliu would never have imagined that the Taifeng they were looking for was in the ground under their feet.

The two generals of Xudu Jun and Ganliu had already thought that they had filled in the dark passages that crisscrossed the underground in the city, but they didn't know that when they thought they were at ease, the Xuanjiao disciples had already quietly built the secret passages from outside the city.

Because it was quietly cultivated from outside the city, where there was no garrison of the Xudu army, the Xudu army inside and outside the city did not notice it. And the entrances and exits in the city are all placed in inconspicuous and easily ignored places, and the Xudu army has caught ghosts in the city several times, but has never found out where the entrances of these dark passages are.

For example, last night, the Xuanjiao disciples took Tai Feng into the entrance of the secret passage, which was in a narrow well in the city, on the stone wall under the well.

The entrance is exactly the same as the stone wall in the well. The secret entrance is also designed to flip the movable stone slabs and gently push them open without much effort. And because the appearance of the entrance is exactly the same as the stone wall in the well, not to mention that even if you look at the well for a long time, even if you go down to the well, you can't see that there is a secret entrance on the smooth stone wall in the well.

And in this secret passage, there are also mechanisms and hidden grids embedded in the stone wall. The dark grid stores household goods and weapons, and it is a labyrinth in all directions in the underground of the city. Compared with the dark passage built by Mo Zhai under the city of Xudu back then, it is more exquisitely designed and solid.

From the very beginning of their design, these tunnels were prepared for war as well as for refuge. Ghosts who are not familiar with the terrain will only get lost and die under the trap if they enter it rashly. And the ghosts hiding in it can survive for a long time by relying on the large number of weapons and daily necessities stored inside.

With such a secret entrance, exquisite design and clever means, Tai Feng had to accept that the craftsmanship of all parties in the Nine Shadows Kingdom had far surpassed that of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the ghost kingdoms in the underworld, and it seemed that it was not an groundless rumor. Taifeng, the more stubborn the old ghost becomes, the longer he lives, he can't help but stop being too stubborn and begin to reflect.

Why did the Northern Yin Dynasty have been in the war against the Nine Shadows Kingdom before, and they have lost again and again. In addition to the factors such as the Beiyin Dynasty making too much evil in the underworld and being unpopular with the people, the reason why the Beiyin Dynasty did not want to make progress was the primary reason for the repeated defeats.

However, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has been changing, and it is constantly improving, so that the Nine Shadows Kingdom can greatly improve the victory rate, reduce casualties, and increase the enemy's casualties in the war.

Thinking of this, Tai Feng couldn't help but sigh lightly, and he began to feel in his heart that neither the Northern Yin Dynasty nor the Emperor of Xudu had been saved.

"Lord Taifeng, what's the matter? sigh, is it because the taste of dry food is not good?" The leader of the Xuanjiao cultist, who was majestic and majestic, with dark skin but standing with thick eyebrows and big eyes, asked in a rough voice after hearing Taifeng's sigh.

This Xuanjiao disciple already looks fierce, and he is not very good at laughing, although he is concerned about Taifeng when he asks, but it sounds like he is questioning.

Fortunately, Taifeng got along with them for a few hours, and he knew the character of this ghost, so he didn't care, but replied with a faint smile: "No, I just feel a little bored here, sigh to relieve the boredom." ”。

"Actually, we also know that dry food is not delicious, but it is not appropriate to go out at this time, Gan Liu Er will soon find out that you have escaped and launch a large-scale search, and now you will always meet a search team when you go out, and you can't escape at all." The cultist picked up another piece of jerky, took another bite, and muttered on the hard jerky, "Besides, we must have time to forge a corpse of yours, enough to be fake." ”。

"Corpse?" Tai Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his incomprehensible gaze burst out, rushing towards the Xuanjiao disciple who was talking to him.

"Well, use a fake corpse to create an illusion that you have passed away, otherwise Fenglinzhou will remain under martial law, and you will not be able to escape from Fenglinzhou. "When the chatterbox is opened, I can't stop it all at once. But that Xuanjiao disciple only said a few more words to him within the scope of some things that he could tell Taifeng temporarily: "And your corpse will confuse the second general Ganliu again, making them all think that they are dead and let their guard down, and then we can easily leave Fenglin Continent." ”。

When Tai Feng heard this, he silently nibbled on the flatbread in his hand and pondered. He pondered and continued to simulate the plans of the Xuanjiao disciples, and after a long time, he had already repeated it three or five times, and his admiration had increased even more.

Based on Taifeng's understanding of the two generals of Ganliu, these two ghosts charged into battle when they were fighting, but they were fierce and brave. But doing other things, but they are small but big, and they don't know how many pounds and taels they have, and they have common problems that they are prone to.

Such ghosts only believe in their own eyes, but they are easily blinded.

As long as there is a corpse of Tae-bong, then they must believe that Tae-bong is dead. The question is, if Tai Feng is not dead, where does the real corpse come from?

Thinking of this, Taifeng, who had some palpitations, looked at the burly soul who was talking to him with a vigilant gaze.

As soon as the human soul saw that he was vigilant, he knew what Tai Feng was thinking after a little thought, so he hurriedly said to him: "Don't think crookedly, Lord Tai Feng, since we saved you, of course we will save your ghost life, and as for the corpse, it must be made of the corpses of other tiger demons and ghosts." And it's used, the ghosts in the Xudu army, you can rest assured. ”。

Saying this, Tai Feng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and also felt that he was too villainous. Since the ghost of the Nine Shadows Kingdom saved him, killing him again is tantamount to taking off his pants and farting, which is meaningless. I really don't know how his head is short-circuited, but he will worry about his own safety.

"It's my villain's heart. For the first time since his arrest, Tae-bong laughed heartily.

"Lord Taifeng, you have been frightened for days, this is normal. The ghost didn't mind, and smiled after saying this, he was not used to laughing by nature, but his expression was very stiff and unnatural.

Before the words landed, there were hurried footsteps behind him, and several other Xuanjiao disciples hurriedly put down the food in their hands, stood up, took off the rainstorm gun on their backs, and held it in their hands.

After a while, in the darkness that the candle flame could not reach, two Xuanjiao disciples walked out, and the ghosts on the side of the candle flame were secretly relieved.

The Xuanjiao disciple who had just come over, after taking out the token to prove his identity, said to the burly human soul who had talked to Tai Feng before: "The search in the city has been completed, and the Xudu army has gone to search outside the city, and in the early hours of the morning, you can escape along the secret road." ”。

"Hmm. The burly human soul bowed slightly, and then asked the ghost, "Are the corpses used to create the fake scene also ready?"

"It's all done. The ghost then bowed his head slightly, nodded and said, "In less than a day, martial law in the continent will be lifted." ”。
