Chapter 19: The Hall of Strangeness
Looking at everyone's surprised gazes, Xiao Yin was silent for a moment and said, "I joined the escort team temporarily, and they shouldn't notice me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And I'm not cultivated, and in the eyes of others, I'm just an ordinary person, and it's not easy to attract their attention. ā
Speaking of this, Xiao Yin paused, then looked at everyone and said word by word: "So, I am the most suitable person." ā
Dugu Yanyue immediately said with a hesitant look on her face: "Xiao Yin, this trip is too dangerous, so I'd better go." ā
Without waiting for Xiao Yin to respond, Gongsun Mubai suddenly said: "It's okay, since Xiao Gongzi is willing to go, it is naturally the best." ā
Dugu Yanyue suddenly said in a hurry: "Mr. Gongsun, this is not appropriate!"
Without waiting for Gongsun Mubai to speak, Xiao Yin looked at Dugu Yanyue and said seriously: "It is dangerous to enter the city, but it is also dangerous outside the city. Because the opponent's ultimate goal is always the black coffin. Now that we have lost a lot of manpower, if you leave again, the combat strength of the guards outside the city will definitely be greatly reduced. ā
Dugu Yanyue and the team leaders couldn't help but be stunned, obviously everyone didn't realize this most critical point for a while.
Although Dugu Yanyue's cultivation realm is not the highest among the Tianqi guards, judging from last night's combat power, it is obvious that he is proficient in marksmanship and extremely rich in actual combat experience, and he is a good hand among the remaining guards today.
Gongsun Mubai nodded slightly and said, "Yes, what Xiao Gongzi said is very true. It's just that, judging from last night's situation, our opponent is extremely difficult, not only can we drive Tang Xueyang, who has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for decades, to serve him, but even the legendary mecha technique can actually be reproduced in his hands, and the power behind it is really unimaginable. ā
"Mecha?" everyone was stunned.
Gongsun Mubai said solemnly: "If this seat is not mistaken, those spiral arrows, as well as the mecha armor on that mecha giant, are all forged according to the legendary mecha technique. This mecha technique is rumored to be a powerful mechanism manufacturing technique created by a strange person in the rivers and lakes based on the various strange techniques recorded in an ancient strange book "Ink Fragment" that he accidentally obtained. According to rumors, this mecha was once popular all over the world thousands of years ago, and some people have even seen ordinary people driving a large mecha similar to Feipeng, soaring in the sky and crossing mountains and rivers. ā
"Can you soar in the sky?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately shocked.
It is not impossible for martial arts practitioners to cultivate to an extremely high level, mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and resist the wind.
Just with a few mecha things, ordinary people can easily enjoy the feeling of flying away from the sky, and this kind of skill is already a bit beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The strength of the opponent's behind-the-scenes forces seems to make everyone feel that a big mountain is pressing on their hearts.
Immediately, a Tianqi guard leader asked tentatively: "After entering the city, can you directly find the Taishou of Shouyang City and seek official help?"
Gongsun Mubai shook his head and said: "No, the matter of this escort is extremely secret, only a few people such as the Holy Lord and the Dajin Lord know, and the Holy Lord has made a promise to the Dajin Lord that this matter must be carried out in secret and not let others know." After all, this is an extraordinary period, and it is really not appropriate for people to know about the body of a Great Golden Saint Ancestor who is directly sent to the other party from this dynasty for free until the peace talks are reached. ā
For a while, everyone fell silent again, and all eyes were focused on Xiao Yin.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Xiao Yin said very calmly: "You don't have to worry, when I was in Taiping County, I chased countless bandits and murderers, and I know what to do in this situation." I'll be careful when I'm in town. Now that time is pressing, the three-month deadline agreed with the lord of Dajin has passed halfway, and we have run out of time. ā
There was silence again in the tent.
After a while, Xiao Yin slowly stood up and arched his hand and said, "That's it." ā
......
In the east of Shouyang City, the bustling crowd flows endlessly at the wide and towering city gate.
Two rows of heavily armoured guards with sharp blades at their waists lined up on the left and right of the city gates. A leader wandered back and forth at the city gates, staring blankly at passers-by.
As noon approached, the flow of people gradually decreased, but a thin figure wearing a cloak and a hat walked slowly from the distant official road and gradually appeared in the sight of the leader.
It was Xiao Yin who came from the woods east of the city.
After the team leader saw that the person who came was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he couldn't help frowning.
"Stop!"
The team leader stretched out his hand to stop and shouted.
Xiao was invisible, looked at the guards calmly and asked, "Master Jun, is there something wrong?"
"There is an order above, the gold thief has invaded my border, the war in the north, my Shouyang City is the main road to the north, from now on, anyone who enters and leaves Shouyang City must be strictly checked!"
The team leader said coldly.
Then, the team leader looked Xiao Yin up and down, and immediately shouted in a deep voice. "Who are you? Dressed so sneakily! Could it be a spy of a gold thief!"
Xiao Yin bowed slightly and said, "The military master said that he was laughing, the villain is just a mortician. ā
"Undertaker?"
The team leader suddenly showed a hint of confusion on his face.
Xiao Yin touched it casually, and a piece of white cloth full of corpse stench immediately appeared in his hand.
"I was entrusted by someone to go to the city to collect the funeral. Xiao Yin looked at the team leader and said very sincerely.
With that, Xiao Yin lifted the white cloth in his hand in front of the other party.
Suddenly, a pungent corpse smell rushed straight away, and the team leader's face immediately changed, and he took a few steps backwards, covered his nose and scolded: "Stinky to death!
Xiao Yin looked at the other party's annoyed appearance, smiled slightly, put away the white cloth, and slowly walked into the city gate.
Looking at Xiao Yin's disappearing back, the team leader was still swearing and swearing, however, just when Xiao Yin's back was about to be overwhelmed by the rolling crowd, the team leader suddenly felt a serene gaze shooting from the young man's back.
The gaze was emotionless, as if it were looking at a dead man.
The leader's heart suddenly froze, and his eyes immediately widened, but in addition to the crowding of human heads, the young man in the cloak disappeared.
The team leader couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, and after being dumbfounded for a long time, he couldn't help but mutter: "Strange...... Is that man a human or a ghost? No, ...... No, I have to go home tonight and let my mother-in-law cook a bowl of pork knuckle noodles to flush the bad luck. ā
......
In a remote alley in the south of the city, at the entrance of an inconspicuous house, stood a handsome young man wearing a cloak and a hat.
It was Xiao Yin.
"Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang Bang!"
Xiao Yin slapped on the door with one hand very regularly, making a series of clear knocks.
This mansion is the secret stronghold of the Tianqiwei in Shouyang City.
The sound of three long and two short knocks on the door is one of the secret words of the Tianqiwei stronghold, which means that there is an urgent matter and the assistance of a companion is urgently needed.
I knocked several times in a row, but there was still no response from behind the door.
Xiao Yin suddenly stopped knocking on the door, and a solemn look appeared between his eyebrows.
At this moment, the cold aura in his body did not give any warning, but the intuition of danger that he had formed over the years told Xiao Yin that the situation was not right!
Xiao Yin took a few steps back, looked left and right, and after confirming that there were no pedestrians on the entire street, he immediately came to the courtyard wall, stepped on the corner of the wall with one foot, and jumped into the courtyard wall.
As soon as his feet landed, Xiao Yin immediately fell to the ground, and a pair of clear eyes showed an extremely alert look.
At this moment, Xiao Yin began to release the perception of his whole body, and the whole person seemed to have turned into an extremely alert hound, and began to search for all abnormalities.
The yard is not large, and there is nothing superfluous except for a few ordinary plants and trees. In the middle of the hall, the door is closed, and there is nothing unusual to see.
Xiao Yin crouched in the corner of the wall, and after carefully observing for a long time, after confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the courtyard, he slowly stood up, walked quickly to the door of the hall, and put his hand on the doorknob.
Then, after listening to the movement in the room for a while, he felt that there was no big problem, so he pushed it slightly.
"Crunch!"
There was a soft sound, and the door opened.
An empty hall immediately appeared in Xiao Yin's sight.
A table of eight immortals, a few wooden chairs, and some wooden furniture.
It's just some ordinary home furnishings, there is nothing superfluous, and there is no one.
The empty hall was eerily quiet.
Xiao Yin hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and stepped into the hall.
"What about people?" Xiao Yin said secretly in his heart.
According to Gongsun Mubai's explanation in the camp tent, the Tianqiwei stronghold in Shouyang City is here, and the Tianqiwei who pretends to be ordinary people on weekdays will definitely be on duty in the courtyard for emergency contact. If there were no 100,000 urgent things, such people would never go to the empty building.
However, there seemed to be an eerie and eerie aura in the empty hall at this moment.
Xiao Yin looked around, but still didn't find anything unusual, his brows furrowed, and he was about to exit the hall immediately.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew into the hall.
Immediately after, "Bang!" A loud bang came from behind Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw that the door of the hall was suddenly closed.
