Chapter (27): The Mysterious Man in White
When the gravel flew from a tricky angle and hit the prodigal son, Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Xin flew from both sides at the same time and pounced towards that position. However, with the skills of the two of them, when they pounced, they didn't even see the edge of their clothes, let alone the person who shot it. At this moment, the lone wolf and the mute guard were left to guard the prodigal son, the doll, and the laughing Maitreya, and the Mengshan turtle and the little Taoist priest, who had already woken up, also outflanked and searched from other directions. They also didn't notice anything, and couldn't help but be secretly amazed, feeling that each other's light body kung fu was amazing.
The four of them glanced at each other, quickly occupied the four directions on the top of the mountain, and each carried the Xuanmen Divine Skill, carefully searching for all suspicious signs in the surrounding area.
Suddenly, the Mengshan turtle, who occupies the southern position, pointed to the cemetery under the mountain with his hand and exclaimed: "There, everyone, look." The other three heard the sound and looked in the direction of Mengshan Turtle's finger. By the light of a bright moon, everyone saw that on top of a treasure roof in the cemetery below, there stood a strange and thin white object. From a distance, this object swaying with the mountain breeze looks like a bamboo pole wrapped in some white clothes. It is almost impossible to say that it is human, because its height is almost close to three meters. It was more than a meter higher than the incarnations of the two resentful spirits that he encountered on the Lotus Mountain during the day. In addition, from the top of the mountain, its thickness should be about the same as a normal person's thigh at most, and it doesn't look like a human dress.
But with his heavenly eyes, Mengshan Turtle could clearly see that there seemed to be long white hair on the top of it. Under the moonlight, the white object swayed with the growing mountain wind, but it was able to stand firmly on the small top of the treasure. After looking at it for a while, everyone didn't move, and the white object didn't move.
The little Taoist priest said: "Is this someone playing a prank on us, deliberately making such a thing, and using the remote control to operate and tease us." ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "This is impossible, I just used the eye of heaven to look carefully, within a circle of one or two kilometers below these four, except for the friend of the dumb brother in the vegetable garden, I didn't find anyone." I'm also suspecting that the white object below looks more and more like a human being, but its shape is too weird, so I'm not sure. ”
Jing Xin said: "I think it's okay, let's not care if it's a human or something else." Besides, people didn't take the initiative to provoke us, and as for Ah Lang, they all blamed him for being cheap, so it would be good for him to suffer a little, so as not to provoke right and wrong everywhere all day long. In addition, people also taught him a lesson after he scolded him. I just saw that the people still kept their hands in proportion, otherwise he would have suffered more than that. Since people are avoiding us from afar now, let's forget it. ”
Hearing this, the little Taoist priest fluttered his triangular head and said coldly: "Why, my young master of Nangong, why do you want to be merciful again tonight." Could it be that Ah Lang's injury is over like this, we didn't let our brothers suffer such injuries in Lotus Mountain during the day, is it just that for tonight. If it spreads out like this, where is the face of our free nine immortals? Where is the face of our Hou Ye? Could it be that letting people laugh at our free nine immortals is to be humiliated by others? You can ignore today's matter, but I must seek justice for Ah Lang! I want to see what kind of thing this friend who is pretending to be a ghost is here. After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Xiao Qingfeng, after all, without Xiao Qingfeng's approval, his little Taoist still didn't dare to go his own way.
At this time, the lone wolf and the mute also followed with the prodigal son, and when they heard the little Taoist priest say this, the prodigal son and the doll also started to coax. Jingxin saw that everyone had followed, so he didn't say anything, and the little Taoist priest looked at Xiao Qingfeng on the side, as if waiting for his decision
Seeing them like this, Xiao Qingfeng said slowly: "Okay, tonight is full of wine and food anyway, let's go down to meet this friend, or accompany Ah Lang to others in person." After speaking, Xiao Qingfeng arranged a very powerful prohibition on the top of the mountain. Let the lone wolf and the mute continue to stay in the prohibition on the top of the mountain, don't move around at will, and be sure not to step out of the prohibition they have arranged.
Then he and Jingxin all the way, Mengshan Turtle and Little Taoist all the way, and everyone went down the mountain in two ways. In addition, he specifically instructed everyone not to preemptively take action, and it is best to settle today's matter peacefully. After speaking, the four of them flew down directly from the cliff in the south. After arriving at the bottom of the cliff, he directly surrounded the white object that he didn't know if it was a person or something, preparing to unravel the true face of the other party in one fell swoop.
The two passers-by went down to the bottom of the cliff and immediately galloped to the left and right of the cemetery as planned. But at this moment, before the two of them could be encircled, the white object suddenly moved, and rushed out of the diagonal thorn. I saw it drift towards the back mountain at an indescribable speed.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingfeng and the others immediately changed the route of the encirclement, and the soldiers followed in two directions. But the speed of the white object is extremely fast, almost against the wind, and even the meditation that is good at light body kung fu can only follow from a distance, and it is impossible to keep up with its body at all.
At this time, Mengshan Turtle and Little Daoist had no choice but to choose the other side to outflank, but when they outflanked and intercepted, the white object flashed by at a very fast speed. When he passed by the little Taoist priest, he even had the leisure to deliberately laugh coldly at the little Taoist priest almost face-to-face, as if he was ridiculing the little Taoist priest's 'bold words' just now.
It's just that when the little Taoist secret luck Xuangong was about to strike a swift blow at it, it disappeared out of the sight of Mengshan Turtle and the little Taoist with the help of the little Taoist's domineering palm. By the time Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Xin arrived, there was no trace of this strange white object. There is only a sharp-eyed Mengshan turtle, and it is roughly judged that it should have gone to the back of the cliff.
At this time, Xiao Qingfeng was really a little angry, and gave everyone an order in code: "Tonight, even if you dig three feet into the ground and lift the entire Turtle Mountain, you must catch this white object." No, it's certain by now that she should most likely be a young woman. We're going to catch her tonight anyway, and let's see who she is, or if she's a powerful ghost. ”
When they reached the back mountain, they completely lost the trace of the woman in white, but Mengshan Turtle firmly believed that she was hiding nearby. The four of them immediately formed the most effective Mixed Yuan Four Elephant Array, covering each other to conduct a careful search in the back mountain.
Just as everyone was searching carefully, they slowly came to a barren bush and grass. Suddenly, the Mengshan turtle screamed, disappeared out of thin air in the messy grass, and after a few muffled screams, there was no movement at all. The other three were shocked, quickly stopped, and launched a search and rescue on the spot. But strangely, nothing was found, and there was no cry for help from the Mengshan turtle. Just now, the little Taoist priest was only seven or eight meters away from the Mengshan Turtle, but he didn't see clearly where the Mengshan Turtle was and how it disappeared out of thin air.
"Ambush!" Jing Xin suddenly shouted, and the other two quickly stood quietly in place, motionless.
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Yes, now there should be information agencies such as flap boards and secret passages under our feet, so don't move around yet." Ah Turtle should have accidentally stepped on some mechanism to ambush just now, and this is what happened. ”
After everyone was completely still, Xiao Qingfeng carefully searched for the movement of the ground under his feet by prostrating himself to listen to the sounds. Unfortunately, nothing worked. It seems that the information agency in this place is by no means a simple ordinary arrangement, and it should be an ambush set up by a master with considerable magical powers.
I searched back and forth carefully, but there was still no valuable gain. Jing Xin suggested that if the master who was good at tracking above was dumb, he might have some gains. Xiao Qingfeng thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let all the five people above come down. After all, after the fall of Mengshan Turtle, everyone has begun to officially fight with each other, and all of them may encounter all kinds of strange dangers at any time. It's better to get everyone together first, so that you can take care of each other.
After Jingxin sent out the arrows gathered in the back mountain, the five people quickly followed. When they were about to approach, Xiao Qingfeng personally went to greet them. When everyone arrived, they were all surprised to see that there was no Mengshan turtle among the four people. After listening to Jingxin's explanation, the five of them suddenly quieted down, looking at Xiao Qingfeng anxiously, looking forward to his next instruction.
According to Xiao Qingfeng's instructions, everyone stood ten meters away from the approximate location where the Mengshan Turtle disappeared out of thin air just now, so that the dumb man could easily perform his magical olfactory tracking technique. Sure enough, living up to expectations, the dumb man quickly locked down the specific location where the Mengshan turtle disappeared. However, there was nothing unusual about this place, and it was overgrown with weeds like the rest of the place, even thicker than the rest.
Xiao Qingfeng asked the mute to make a mark in the determined position, and slowly retreated to the place where the others were. Then, he gestured for Jing Xin to come forward with him, allowing Jing Xin to observe and watch beside him. At the same time, he told the little Taoist, the lone wolf, and the mute in code that they must be optimistic about the other three and do not move casually.
Everything is ready, Xiao Qingfeng silently moves the innate Qi Tiangang Gong of the third layer. First, he gently cleared the weeds on the dumb man's position, and then raised his palms slightly, and slapped it down with a loud shout. Suddenly, only a boom was heard, and a large piece of the ground suddenly sank. Under the sunken ground, a deep vertical hole in the shape of an ancient tomb robbery hole was revealed. The diameter of the vertical hole is only sixty or seventy centimeters, but it looks very deep.
Xiao Qingfeng took the strong flashlight brought by Jing Xin and shone it inside, only to see that the depth of this vertical hole was at least ten meters, and the almost round cave wall was unusually smooth, which looked extremely difficult to climb. At a depth of more than ten meters, the vertical hole suddenly turned to the left, as if it had become a horizontal passage. Xiao Qingfeng let the dumb man step forward again, and tested the gas in the cave with the giant python bead, but did not find any poisonous gas.
