Chapter Seventy-Four: Demons
Wang Li and Chen Yuan rode the Wind King, and walked in the direction pointed by Chen Yuan for more than ten days, the yellow sand was raging, the day was very hot, and the night was cold, so Chen Yuan was unkempt and dirty, and his body was filthy, but seeing that Wang Li was still decent, he couldn't see any changes, he was surprised in his heart, and he admired this mysterious Wang Qingxiang more and more.
Since Wang Li cultivated the extradition tips of the twelve spiritual veins, his physical fitness has far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he has clearly felt the difference between Chen Yuan and himself in the past ten years, so he attributed this reason to the aura.
The two of them walked to a sand dune, looking to the north, and could faintly see the oasis, Chen Yuan carefully screened it, and after confirming that it was not a mirage, he said: "We are almost there, and when we get to that oasis, we will not be far from the North Night Mansion." ”
Wang Li and Chen Yuan accelerated forward, walked for another three days, and finally crossed the boundless northern desert and arrived at a wide oasis.
Found a dense forest, there is a river pond, Wang Li saw that the water quality was clear, so he first replenished fresh water, and then the two of them took this opportunity to wash their bodies, fortunately, the river pond is big enough, otherwise I am afraid that Chen Yuan alone will be able to pollute it.
Following the dense forest, the two of them walked north with the King of Wind for a while, and saw a river flowing down from the west, Chen Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and said: "Wang Qingxiang, let's walk west along this river for a while, and we will arrive at Beiyefu." ”
Wang Li was also overjoyed, "General Chen, how will we get in later?"
"This river runs through the North Night House, let's go around to the West Gate in a while, there is a secret door there, it is the water inlet, Wang Qingxiang, wait until night, let's sneak in through the secret door upstream, no one will find out." ”
Wang Li was surprised when he heard this: "Didn't General Haotan know about this secret path at the beginning?"
"I know, but at that time, General Haotan didn't bother to waste such energy to deal with real thieves, besides, the secret passage is not so easy to enter, and it can only pass two or three people, the army has no way to pass, if someone finds out and guards the secret door, it will not be a dead end. ”
Chen Yuan and Wang Li followed the river westward, and by nightfall, they had seen a magnificent city standing on top of an oasis not far away.
No one entered or exited the four fields, and Wang Li was worried about being exposed, so he rode on the wind and the king, and took advantage of the night to quietly go around the west gate.
This west gate has been blocked, there are many real soldiers standing guard on the city gate, Wang Li took out a lot of smoke Luo Yu from the Xuanhuang bag, threw them to the King of the Wind Absolute King, and said, "Go find your little brother, don't expose it." ”
The Wind King took all the smoke and jade into his mouth, shook his head and gestured to Wang Li, and disappeared into the night.
Chen Yuandao: "Wang Qingxiang, this strange beast is still very smart, and it mostly understands what you said along the way. ”
"Usually cats and dogs can understand their owners' minds, and it is not surprising that the Wind King is a strange beast. Wang Li watched the river pass through the city wall in the distance, and he pointed to the doorway and said, "General Chen, is the secret passage there?"
"It was locked up by real thieves with iron nets, and they were all guarded by heavy soldiers, don't say that the secret door is not there, even if it is there, we can't get by. Chen Yuan took off his coat and was naked, leaving only a handkerchief, "Wang Qingxiang, this time we have to go in, the secret passage is under the river, after a while, we will swim along the river to the door, and then dive underwater, there is a waterway under this water, which is connected to the drainage channel in Beiyefu City, here is the upstream, it is very clean, after the waterway, we can go ashore and sneak in." ”
It turns out that this secret passage is a sewer!
When Wang Li heard this, he immediately understood in his heart, he put the clothes he had taken off into the Xuanhuang bag, and by the way, he also put the package containing Chen Yuan's coat into the bag, and then followed Chen Yuan and jumped into the cold and biting river.
"Wang Qingxiang, your little bag is really wonderful, how can it hold so many things?" Chen Yuangang got into the water, trembling all over, and his speech was a little unpleasant, "Wang Qingxiang, are you okay with water? We have to swim a long way, and we will dive for a long time." ”
Wang Li's physique is stronger, and he said angrily: "You stutter when you talk to yourself, don't worry about me, let's go." ”
After the two of them adapted to the temperature of the water, they swam along the river to the west gate of the North Night Mansion, and when they were about to reach the west gate, Chen Yuan motioned for Wang Li to dive down, he took a deep breath, puffed out his mouth and stuffed underwater, Wang Liyun opened the spiritual vein, although he couldn't breathe as usual underwater, but the feeling of suffocation would be reduced a lot.
The light of the stars sprinkled on the surface of the river, and there was a faint light underwater, so you could see it a little more clearly.
Under Chen Yuan's guidance, Wang Li dived forward for a long time, and then saw a dark hole, Chen Yuan turned his head and pointed to Wang Li, and then he swam in first, Wang Li followed closely, the hole was very large, the two of them were one after the other, because the cave was pitch black, they could only follow the feeling and the direction of the river, I don't know how long it took, and finally saw a faint light source above, Wang Li followed Chen Yuan, and the two went out of the waterway and floated up.
Out of the water, Chen Yuan exhaled a few times, "Damn, suffocate to death!" He whispered a few words to himself, and then looked around nervously, and only then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no figure around.
Wang Li went ashore with him, wiped it clean, put on his clothes, and then began to re-observe his surroundings.
"Yeluguan likes my Da Yao customs, and the North Night Mansion is also built according to the scale of my Da Yao's city government, which is very similar to Linlang City, the north side of the North Night Mansion is the Marshal's Mansion, and the south side is the city square, we are between the north and the south. Chen Yuan said: "Even if it's night, it's just that there is no one missing, don't talk about real people, even real soldiers don't see a single person, what's going on, is there no one?"
Wang Li also didn't know why, the two walked a little east along the street, but they still didn't see anyone, and they couldn't help but look at each other, is this North Night Mansion an empty city?
Suddenly they heard a cry from the north, Wang Li and Chen Yuan's hearts tightened, and they hurriedly walked in the direction of the call.
The two of them hid their whereabouts and hid their tracks, and the north side said that it was the Marshal's Palace, but the establishment was no different from the Imperial Palace, and the huge Marshal's Mansion was protected by the outer city, but for some reason, the Marshal's Mansion was extremely weak tonight, and there were almost no soldiers.
Wang Li faintly felt bad, and Chen Yuan had just sneaked into the outer city, only to see that there were real people standing inside, and they all held their breath and stared at a man in blood on the front desk of the palace in the distance.
Wang Li was frightened by so many people, but fortunately, the real people were looking at the man in blood, and no one noticed them, Wang Li and Chen Yuan suppressed the surprise in their hearts and looked at the man.
Because of the distance, Wang Li couldn't see the face of the man in blood clearly, only to see him holding a blood-red banner in one hand, and drawing a red pattern in the air with the other, the long banner seemed to be induced, the red light rose up, and suddenly let out the wailing sound of the ghost crying, Chen Yuan saw this, his heart swayed, he pinched the root of his leg fiercely, and asked in a low voice: "Wang Qingxiang, who is this, what is he doing?"
Wang Li saw that the man threw the long banner into the air, the long flag moved without wind, the blood was bright, and the wailing sound around was more intense, only to see the man's hands sealed, shouted, and then hundreds of skeletons in armor crawled out of the long banner and stood in front of the man, the people in front of the hall saw this and shouted loudly, Wang Li could not understand the language of the real people, did not know what they said, but looking at their excited appearance, it must be words such as.
"This person should be the You Immortal that the real person in Longdui said. ”
Wang Li said in a low voice, he knew that these were not some tricks, those skeletons and evil ghosts, seeing and hearing clearly, must be the so-called "immortal law", but the means are ruthless and demonic, not like immortals, it should be called a ghost master.
"This is that immortal?" Chen Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked up to see the man in bloody clothes, but at this moment, the real person's mood was high, he was blocked by the people around him, and he couldn't see the scene in front of the palace, Wang Li grabbed him, and the two quietly came out of the marshal's mansion and hid in the dark alley.
"This is an immortal, it should be regarded as a demon and a monster. The sound of the ghost crying wolf was still echoing in his ears, and Chen Yuan couldn't help but worry: "Wang Qingxiang, are you sure to deal with him?"
"Hanging. ”
Wang Li told the truth, he can only be regarded as a half-hung immortal cultivator, the door has not been seen yet, everything is blind, and he will make a move to figure out the nameless swordsmanship that he pondered, that You Immortal not only has a long flag, but also can summon skeletons, who knows what skills have not been revealed, he seems to be showing his skills in front of real people this time, and taking the opportunity to help Yeluguan gain a higher reputation, "General Chen, the main purpose of our visit to the North Night Mansion this time is to find out the news of the palace master, don't make any extraneous branches." ”
Chen Yuan nodded yes, and the two discussed waiting until late at night, and after everyone left, they would enter the marshal's mansion to see if they could secretly tie up Yeluguan.
