Chapter 112: The Two Who Escaped from the City
That night, martial law began in the city, and Mo Jue took this opportunity to sneak out quietly.
He didn't believe that so many people could be stuffed in just one Heavenly Mandate Palace, and there must be something hidden in it.
Bypassing the patrolling sergeants all the way, Mo Jue came to the street where the Heavenly Mandate Palace was located, probably because the residents of the city were unwilling to live in the Heavenly Mandate Palace, and the surrounding houses were dilapidated, and there was not even any light.
Mo Jue hid in one of the houses, quietly observing the golden mansion in his eyes.
The lights were bright, and there were faint noises, which contrasted sharply with the quiet surroundings of Mo Jue, as if they were two worlds.
At this moment, two figures came from a distance and knocked on the door of the mansion.
[Qi Xiong? Seems to be with me. 】
The people who came were Qi Xiong and Ge Xing, in fact, the atmosphere of the Heavenly Mandate Palace was very strange, it was very quiet during the day, but it was very lively at night.
Therefore, Mo Jue and Qi Xiong both chose to come over to investigate at night, and the difference between the two was that Qi Xiong came to visit directly, while Mo Jue planned to investigate secretly.
Not long after, the door of the Heavenly Mandate Palace opened, welcoming Qi Xiong and the others in, and before entering, Qi Xiong also glanced in the direction where Mo Jue was, and made a vague gesture to him.
[Is this a reminder to me? Oops!]
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Jue understood what the other party meant, and hurriedly left the house.
Qi Xiong is also in the Mortal Realm now, and he discovered the existence of Mo Jue with his spiritual sense, and the strength of the Lord of the Heavenly Mandate Palace is above them according to Mo Jue's assumption, how could he not discover Mo Jue.
Because Mo Jue sneaked in, the martial law in the city was originally to find him, and negligence at this time may lead to a failure, thinking that Qi Xiong also thought of this, so he would specifically remind Mo Jue.
After changing to a slightly farther place, Mo Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he stopped, Mo Jue saw two teams of sergeants surrounding the place where he had just been, and if Mo Jue's movements just now were a little later, he might have been discovered by the other party.
Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on Mo Jue's head.
The sergeants scattered again after searching to no avail, but Mo did not dare to act rashly, in his spiritual sense.
There are still a lot of soldiers hidden around, just waiting for Mo Jue to appear.
After waiting for a long time, the sergeants who were hiding around retreated, as if they had given up their intention to crouch and defend the Moji.
At this time, the night was already dark, and the lights in the Heavenly Mandate Palace had already dimmed, and Qi Xiong and Ge Xing had also walked out of it not long ago, and then disappeared.
[It seems that I can't find out anything today, I hope Qi Xiong has any information there.] 】
Mo Jue sighed secretly and stretched his somewhat sore body.
At this moment, a figure quietly walked out of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, and then walked out of the city.
Mo, who was about to go back, didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain, so he hurriedly followed lightly.
Through the dim moonlight, Mo Jue could see the appearance of the man, it was a young girl in the prime of cardamom, but her face was yellow and she looked malnourished.
Mo Jue followed the girl all the way to the city wall, but saw the girl stop in a corner, looking anxiously left and right, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, a figure came, and the girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted her.
Due to the distance, Mo Jue couldn't hear what the other party was saying, so he could only follow the shadows to get closer, and only then could he hear the conversation between the two clearly.
saw that the figure was a young man in a military uniform, and at this moment the two were snuggling together, whispering some love words.
Mo Jue's old face turned red, but he didn't expect the girl to come out to have a private meeting with her lover.
Now the situation is very embarrassing, if Mo Jue wants to leave, such a close distance is likely to disturb the two of them, so it will not be explained clearly.
"Sister Yu, how are you doing?
Just when Mo Jue was in a dilemma, a sentence from the young man caught his attention.
The girl is obviously the palace maid in the Heavenly Mandate Palace, and the young man's words are likely to be related to the hidden situation in the Heavenly Mandate Palace.
Sure enough, when the girl heard her lover's question, her expression was obviously frightened, and after hesitating for a moment, the girl said: "Brother Yan, why don't you take me away, although the beast didn't bully me, but... But I'm afraid. ”
The young man's face stiffened when he heard this, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you away." ”
This sentence seemed to take the strength of the young man's whole body, and it was obvious that he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.
But the girl didn't realize that her sweetheart was also as afraid as her, so she just snuggled into each other's arms and whispered, "Before leaving, I want to go and see my sister and them, okay?"
"Okay, let's leave this nightmarish town. ”
After the two had made an appointment, the boy and the good girl walked along the edge of the city wall until they reached a place covered in shadows before stopping.
And a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of Mo Jue, who had been following them, this was obviously the direction to the center of the city, not the direction of leaving the city at all.
The other party is not a cultivator, and he does not have the ability to cross the city wall.
Soon, Mo Jue knew the answer.
I saw that after the boy groped on the ground, he dug a small pit in the ground, and soon a heavy wooden plank was first repaired and installed in front of Mo Jue's eyes.
"Hehe, Yumei, let me tell you, this is a place where they are usually lazy, it took me five years to finally dig a tunnel out of the city, let's go!"
After all, it is a teenager's nature, and at this time, he has to brag to his sweetheart.
After getting the girl's eyes, the boy pulled the girl and jumped into this tunnel called hope.
Soon after the two entered, Mo Jue stepped out of the shadows and glanced around before jumping in, and then condensed a spiritual power to re-cover the plank and spread a layer of dirt on it.
After doing all this, the spiritual power dispersed, and everything was as if it was before the arrival of a few people.
If he didn't cover it up and let this tunnel be discovered, Mo Jue could be sure that the two people in front of him would definitely be arrested and then made a pair of bitter mandarin ducks.
Mo is absolutely like this, and those who dare to resist still have a good impression in their hearts, so they will help.
Otherwise, if you are those who will only resign themselves to fate, Mo will never make a little movement for them to be discovered in advance, which is considered kind.
This tunnel, which is claimed to have taken five years to dig, is actually not very long, and it didn't take long for Mo Jue to come to the exit.
This is a wasteland outside the city, and the two people in front of them are standing not far away, as if they are talking about something, Mo Jue is not in a hurry to go out, but uses his spiritual sense to find out the situation over there.
Then Mo Jue's eyes widened suddenly, his fists clenched unconsciously, and the anger in his heart continued to rise.
In Mo Jue's spiritual sense, in front of the boy and girl was a huge hole, covered with layers of white bones.
Even on the top floor, there were some corpses that had not completely decomposed, including young girls in the prime of cardamom and soldiers the age of teenagers.
This time, Mo Jue was finally able to explain the problem that was bothering him, and the truth was really as he guessed.
Since the Heavenly Mandate Palace can't fit so many people, there are many girls who have grown up to a certain age over the years, and there are no people in the city who have come back from the Heavenly Mandate Palace.
Then there will inevitably be many people who will die, and only the corpses will not occupy the place of the living.
Mo Jue originally came out to investigate with this idea, but there was no such a big place in the city, and he didn't have a clue for a while.
It's just that I didn't expect to be found by Mo Jue in such a crooked situation.
There are many corpses and bones in the pit, and they are by no means formed overnight, it can be seen how much blood is stained on the hands of this Heavenly Destiny Palace, and no one in it is innocent.
Just when Mo Jue was shocked, the city was full of fire, and there was some movement in the tunnel.
[Chased after it so soon?]
Mo Jue was startled and hurriedly crawled out of the tunnel.
Mo Jue's attention was all in the pit just now, so the spiritual sense didn't detect the traces of the pursuers, of course, this was partly because he didn't expect to be discovered so soon.
Mo Jue's movements were also discovered by the young man, who cried out in a lost voice, "Who are you?"
At the same time, he tightly protected the girl behind him, and pulled out the blade at his waist and pointed directly at Mo Jue.
It is not surprising that I have been followed from behind for so long and I have not noticed it at all.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that the pursuers behind me are about to catch up. What are you going to do?"
Mo Jue hurriedly said, in his opinion, the pursuers behind him probably caught up so quickly because they found their traces.
Even if he didn't care about this, Mo Jue didn't plan to just watch the two people in front of him being arrested, so he planned to help them.
However, the young man obviously did not trust Mo Jue, so he said in a cold voice: "You are the one who sneaked into the city that day, right?
Being able to appear here at this time, and it was still a face he had never seen before, the boy could easily guess Mo Jue's identity.
Seeing the young man's vigilant look, Mo Jue could only say helplessly: "Forget it, it's too late anyway." ”
After that, Mo Jue ran into the distance at a very fast speed, and he had no intention of dealing with the two of them.
The pursuers behind him had already reached the exit of the tunnel, and Mo Jue made what he thought was the most correct choice.
Anyway, the two of them also ran out by themselves, and it is the most important thing to not let the other party find out.
So Mo Jue ran far away, using his spiritual sense to probe the situation here.
I saw that when the young man was still wondering about Mo Jue's purpose, a team of sergeants crawled out of the tunnel, and it was too late for the young man to run, and the two of them were surrounded in just a moment.
The girl was already frightened at this time, and she could only hold on to the corners of her sweetheart's clothes.
A layer of cold sweat also broke out on the young man's head, and he secretly regretted that he hadn't listened to Mo Jue's words just now.
"Gu Yan, are you guilty?"
At this time, the sergeant at the head shouted coldly, in a place like the army, deserters should be beheaded, not to mention that the affairs of the city are all in the hands of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, and if they are caught, they will definitely die.
The young man, that is, Gu Yan naturally knows this truth, so he doesn't plan to be arrested, his sweetheart is still behind him.
Then Gu Yan's mind turned, and he remembered Mo Jue who had just left, so he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Big brother, come and save me!"
When the sergeant in charge heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Is there anyone else?
The sergeant received the order and scattered to search for traces of Moji.
Seeing that everyone else was scattered, Gu Yan also had a chance to escape, as long as he knocked down the sergeant in front of him!
This is why he pulled Mo Jue into the water, Gu Yan can be sure that Mo Jue must not have gone far.
Therefore, under this kind of search, it will inevitably come to the fore, and at this time, most of the attention will be on Mo Jue's side, and his opportunity will come.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan tightened the blade in his hand, waiting for the opportunity to come.
