Chapter 41: A Life's Wish, a Life's Mission
Seeing that Xiao Yin agreed, Dongfang Qianqian immediately snapped the jade fan, and then looked at Gongsun Mubai with some excitement: "Gongsun Commander, now I should be able to ask, what are you going to do on this trip?"
Gongsun Mubai nodded slightly, and then briefly explained the current Saint and the Dajin Lord's intention to form an alliance in Xueyuan City, as well as the Dajin Lord's request to transport the remains of the Dajin Ancestor back to Xueyuan City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After listening, Dongfang Qianqian was silent for a moment, then took the jade fan and patted his palm and said, "Very good! I am not mistaken! This matter is really right for my appetite." If I miss out on such a good thing, I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Xinghao still said calmly: "If following you can help me break through the bottleneck, I will definitely help you without hesitation." As for the purpose of the trip, I don't care. ”
Gongsun Mubai looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "The two of you send charcoal in the snow, Gongsun Mubai feels nostalgic for the five, and thanks to the two on behalf of the saint and the people of the north." ”
After saying that, Gongsun Mubai bowed down and bowed deeply to the two.
Dongfang Qianqian picked up Gongsun Mubai, shook the jade fan and said, "Gongsun Commander doesn't have to be like this. It's just that I have something to declare beforehand. ”
Gongsun Mubai said: "Please speak." ”
Dongfang Qianqian looked at Gongsun Mubai and said, "I joined this trip purely because of my own actions, and it has nothing to do with Tianji Tower. Commander Gongsun don't expect Tianjilou to help me because of me. ”
Gongsun Mubai shook his head lightly and said, "Dongfang Gongzi is too worried. Although Gongsun Mubai is in the temple, he also knows that Tianjilou never interferes in the affairs of the world. Dongfang Gongzi was able to help, and he was already grateful, how dare he think about it again. ”
Dongfang Qianqian's eyes suddenly flashed when he heard this, revealing a hint of cunning, and then he smiled and said, "That's good...... That's good."
However, at this moment, Dongfang Qianqian suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that Xiao Yin was staring at him tightly. I saw that Xiao Yin's clear eyes seemed to be able to directly see through what he was thinking.
Dongfang Qianqian was suddenly shocked, and then quickly put aside his gaze and pretended not to see it.
Then, Dongfang Qianqian coughed lightly and said, "Commander Gongsun, should we discuss the next move?"
Gongsun Mubai nodded and said, "As Xiao Gongzi said, the top priority is to find the black coffin. Judging from the results of Xiao Gongzi's exploration in Shouyang City, since the opponent is full of eyeliner in the city, it is obvious that the entire Shouyang City is already under his control. Therefore, once the black coffin is in hand, it is very likely that the other party will be sent directly into the city. ”
Dugu Yanyue immediately asked: "What is the origin of these people? Why can they actually control the cities under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Imperial Court? Why do the defenders in the city also follow their command and arbitrarily block the city gates and docks? What are they doing so deliberately trying to seize the black coffin? What is the benefit of destroying the alliance between the Great Zhou and the Jin State?"
Gongsun Mubai shook his head and said, "At present, the situation we have is extremely limited. Except for knowing that the other party's background is very large, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, he doesn't know anything else. Without the exchange of information from the Tianqi Guards in the city, we are no different from being blind and deaf at this moment. ”
Dugu Yanyue frowned and said, "Then what should we do now?"
Dongfang Qianqian showed his jade fan and said: "Since the black coffin was brought into the city by them, then we will follow up the city immediately and grab it back." Although all the gates of the city are sealed at this moment, and there are heavy guards, I have this thing to help me, and I should be worry-free. ”
After that, Dongfang Qianqian took out the palm-sized paper kite in his arms and looked at everyone with a smile.
Dugu Yanyue was surprised: "This thing is the ...... just now"
Dongfang Qian said proudly: "Exactly, the name of this thing is 'Qiqiao Kite', and it is the thirtieth strange thing in the list of strange things in heaven and earth. Not only is it easy to carry, but most importantly, after it is thoroughly unfolded, it can take people to fly over mountains and rivers, as if walking on the ground. I was in the city just now, and I used it to take Xiao Yin out of the city to find you. ”
Gongsun Mubai looked at the Qiqiao Kite and praised: "It is worthy of being the young master of Tianji Tower, and he actually carries such a strange thing with him." With the help of this thing, it is indeed not difficult to enter the city. ”
Dongfang Qianqian suddenly said with some excitement: "Since this is the case, then we will immediately fly into the city on the Qiqiao Kite?"
However, before everyone could answer, Xiao Yin suddenly said, "No!"
Everyone was stunned.
Dugu Yanyue was slightly stunned and said, "Xiao Yin, didn't you also say that retrieving the black coffin is a top priority?
Xiao Yin looked at everyone and said slowly: "That's right, snatching back the black coffin is the top priority now, but now that we and Mr. Gongsun, as well as Miss Xinghao, have already consumed a lot of money, especially Mr. Gongsun is seriously injured at the moment, and it is not appropriate to leave immediately." We might as well rest on the spot for a while, refresh our spirits, and set off before we are too late. As long as the black coffin is still in the city, we still have a chance. ”
Dugu Yanyue suddenly asked with a flash of eyes: "If we wait until we are rested before we set off, will the black coffin be in danger?" Don't forget that when the temple was broken last night, that mecha monster was going to use an air blast technique to destroy the black coffin!"
Gongsun Mubai's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he was about to say something.
However, Xiao Yin shook his head slightly and said, "No." ”
Dugu Yanyue said strangely: "Why?"
Xiao Yin said: "Because if they really have this intention, then when they remove the guards, they can do it on the spot immediately." However, when everyone took a closer look at the vicinity of the place where the black coffin was held, in addition to the corpse, instead of a trace of black coffin fragments, there were several extremely deep strange footprints. It seems that someone left behind a heavy load. ”
After that, Xiao Yin pointed to somewhere underground.
Everyone followed Xiao Yin's pointing and looked, only to see that there were a few extremely deep muddy footprints left on the place where the black coffin was originally blooming, but these footprints only appeared three or four times, and then disappeared.
Gongsun Mubai's eyes suddenly lit up and said: "It seems that after the other party succeeded, he immediately performed the light gong technique, lifted the black coffin in place, and took it away directly, but in a hurry, he left these few footprints!"
Xiao Yin nodded and said, "I guess that's it." We don't know why they did it, but it's good news for us. At least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the danger of the black coffin being destroyed. ”
Dongfang Qianqian patted the jade fan, looked at Xiao Yin with some surprise, and said, "I really didn't see it, you observed it quite carefully." ”
Xiao Yin looked at Gongsun Mubai and continued: "Even so, we still have to seize the time to rest and recover, and after getting ready, we will re-enter the city." Commander Gongsun, what do you see?"
Gongsun Mubai looked at Xiao Yin and nodded in praise: "It is worthy of Xiao Gongzi, the observation and analysis are all meticulous, I agree with what Xiao Gongzi said." Let's take a break first, I'm just taking the opportunity to heal. ”
After that, Gongsun Mubai immediately came to a big tree, took out a snow-white pill and took it, then crossed his knees, and immediately closed his eyes and breathed.
In less than a moment, a layer of snow and white clouds immediately appeared around him, like clouds steaming.
It was the true crystal realm martial artist who urged the true crystal power to transform into shape.
At this time, Xinghao, who had been silent, also quietly came to another big tree, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and breathed.
Seeing this, Dugu Yanyue was also planning to rest for a while.
However, a familiar scene reappeared in everyone's eyes.
I don't know when, Xiao Yin had once again silently carried the body of Tianqiwei on the ground on his shoulder, slowly came to an open space in the woods, and gently put the corpse down.
Then, there was another familiar clean-up action, and once again the corpse was carried back and forth.
Looking at Xiao Yin's extremely pious and almost holy movements and expressions, Dugu Yanyue, who had already seen all this, couldn't help but be shocked again.
At the same time, Dongfang Qianqian and Xinghao on the side seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of them.
Dongfang Qianqian's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him, motionless, even the jade fan in his hand seemed to have forgotten whether to open or put away.
Xinghao stared at Xiao Yin tightly, walking back and forth among the dead, with a hint of incomprehension on his face.
There was silence again, and no one spoke.
Even Dongfang Qianqian put away that playful and ridiculous look, and began to watch Xiao Yin back and forth intently, his eyes gradually changed from surprise and surprise to shock, puzzled.
Finally, Dongfang Qianqian asked a little unbearably, "I know you are a mortician. And...... Looks like...... You seem to really enjoy doing this business. But...... Is it really necessary to waste so much time on this?"
The voice was not loud, a little light, and even sounded as if Dongfang Qianqian was talking to himself.
However, everyone heard it clearly, although Xinghao and Dugu Yanyue did not speak, however, the eyes in their eyes had already been revealed, and they also wanted to know the answer.
Even Gongsun Mubai suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yin, as if he was also expecting Xiao Yin's answer.
Xiao Yin's figure suddenly paused, then turned around, looked at everyone with different colors behind him, was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Death is just a door, it does not mean the end of life." When the deceased passes through it, they enter another phase. And as a mortician, I'm going to escort them through this door, and then tell them that the journey is cherished, and we'll have a date later. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Yin slowly helped the corpse on his shoulder at the moment, then raised his head to look at the faint hint of starlight in the dark night sky, and said with a hint of determination in his eyes: "People in the world, there are good and evil, true and false, poor and rich, but after they die, they all deserve a minimum of dignity and peace. This is my life's wish as a mortician, and it is also my life's mission. ”
