Chapter 40: Reunion
Hong Gongzi is much more powerful than Shen Yan, who has only been practicing for a long time.
Grandma had almost no power to resist under his men, but in a few moves, he had already been slashed by his sword.
After Grandma's death, the forest also changed dramatically, the towering trees disappeared, and the thick fog disappeared. The rest is just a very ordinary grove.
Shen Yan recognized this forest as a small forest to the west outside the Meng Mansion. The surroundings became normal, and she also knew that she was out of trouble for the time being, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But it also affected internal injuries, and her face wrinkled in pain.
Meng Fuyao ran over and hugged her: "Sister Shen Yan, how are you, I'll take you to Dr. Zhang, his medical skills are the best in this Wuyang City......
Before Shen Yan could talk, Hong Gongzi said: "Her injuries can't be saved by ordinary doctors." Besides, Wuyang City is now a dead city. ”
When Meng Fuyao heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his head and fell silent.
I didn't pay attention to it before, but at this moment, Shen Yan realized that the atmosphere between Meng Fuyao and Hong Gongzi was a little strange. She had always felt that Hong Gongzi was willing to come to Meng Mansion for Meng Fuyao, and the relationship between the two must be not shallow, but now it seems that the relationship is there, but it is not very good.
To be precise, Hong Gongzi didn't have any special reaction, but Meng Fuyao's emotions were a little complicated, and he seemed to have a love and hate for Hong Gongzi.
Without waiting for her to think about anything else, Hong Gongzi walked over and attached one hand to her back.
Before she could ask anything, Shen Yan felt that spiritual power had passed from Hong Gongzi's palm to his body, as if he had a consciousness, he was wandering among the meridians, repairing the damaged places.
Knowing that the other party was healing himself, Shen Yan also let go of his resistance and relaxed to feel the route of the spiritual power, and he also silently recited the mantra of the Nirvana Heart Sutra.
After a long time, seeing that Shen Yan's face was much better, Hong Gongzi withdrew his hand and said, "It's getting dark, we have to get out of here as soon as possible." Fuyao was brought out by us, and the demon clan will not stop. They can't get out, but these people outside have all been controlled by the demonic poison. ”
"How could it be ......" Meng Fuyao was a little incredulous when he heard this, Shen Yan stood up and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Fuyao, what Hong Gongzi said is right, this city is already a dead city." The people here are also dead....." She looked up at the sky, paused and changed the subject: "Let's get out of here first." ”
This time, Meng Fuyao didn't ask any more questions, nodded directly and followed Shen Yan towards the outside of Wuyang City.
There was a post station fifty miles east of the city, but the red prince took them to the abandoned tea house eighty miles to the north.
"This place has been abandoned for years, and they didn't think they would have guessed that we would be here. Hong Gongzi cast a spell to tidy up the environment in the tea house, and built a bonfire, looking at the already dark sky outside, he paused for a moment before saying: "Fuyao, Wuyang City is not safe." Tomorrow, you and I will go to the Xiangxue Sea. ”
Before Meng Fuyao was about to speak, he continued: "It's all come to this point, don't get angry with me, okay?" You are the body of the Nine Yin, your blood is a vital thing for the demon clan, they won't just let you go." Although this friend of yours is a cultivator, he is a weak player who has only been getting started for a long time, I'm afraid that if he really fights against the demon clan, he will be difficult to protect himself, so how can he protect you?"
Shen Yan's expression moved, but he couldn't say anything to refute. Looking sideways, I saw Meng Fuyao's eyes reddening a little: "I followed you to Xiangxue Sea, but can I save my life?"
Hong Gongzi pursed his lips and didn't speak again, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Shen Yan originally thought that Hong Gongzi was so worried about Meng Fuyao, and he could leave to deliver the letter to the Buddha Immortal Trick Wall, but now that he heard Meng Fuyao say this, he was a little afraid to hand over the person to him. For a while, looking at Hong Gongzi's eyes, there was also a little vigilance.
Just as I was about to ask what the situation was, the wind suddenly blew outside.
Hong Gongzi suddenly looked outside, and his voice was a little solemn: "They are chasing after them." ”
"How can it be so fast?" Shen Yan was also taken aback. The people of Wuyang City have become earth-bound beings, and they can only be dispatched when night comes. With their strength, it is impossible to resist the power of the ban, so they can only come step by step. Supposedly, it hadn't been dark for long, and they should have just set off now. What's more, the speed will slow down a lot without knowing the target.
Hong Gongzi retracted his gaze, and then walked to Meng Fuyao's side, seeing her subconsciously retreat when she stretched out her hand, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What should you be carrying on your body, guiding them in the direction." ”
Meng Fuyao's whole body stiffened, and then he was caught by Hong Gongzi's wrist.
When he saw the red butterfly pattern, Shen Yan was a little surprised and asked, "What is this?"
Meng Fuyao's eyes also had a little surprise, her own body was naturally very clear, and there was no such pattern before that.
Hong Gongzi stretched out his hand and brushed over the butterfly pattern, and saw a faint golden light flickering on it, but the pattern seemed to have not changed.
"I've covered up the smell of this mark for the time being, but not for long. Hong Gongzi let go of Meng Fuyao's hand and said to Shen Yan: "I'll go and lure those people away, this girl, you can take Fuyao to the nearest Cthulhu City first." ”
After saying this, without waiting for Shen Yan to respond, he went directly out of the tea house and disappeared into the vast night.
Shen Yan looked back at Meng Fuyao, only to find that she was looking at the direction in which Hong Gongzi left, with worry in her eyes.
Such a scene is more like Changsheng, who once recovered Xuanyue's memory, looking at Bai Zhi's gaze when he didn't completely untie the knot.
Shen Yan was in a trance for a while, and she thought of the dead immortal, her current master.
"Sister Shen Yan, let's go too. Meng Fu shook his voice and said this. Although she is worried about the red boy who is leaving, she is not a person who does not know how to measure. didn't make a noise at this time, didn't need Hong Gongzi to care about her, or if she wanted to stay together.
Who wants to die if they can live?
Shen Yan nodded, glanced back at the direction where the red prince left, and then took Meng Fuyao towards Cthulhu City from the other direction. That place, she and Meng Fuyao were not strangers, but no one thought that they would return there so soon.
However, this time it was not successful to reach Cthulhu City. It's not because the road ahead is blocked, but not long after I went out, I met an acquaintance.
"Lord Su?"
Shen Yan never thought that he would meet Su Qing here at this time. The last time he was brief, Su Qing said that he was not in good health and was not suitable for a cold place. And Wuyang City is located in the north, and it is about to enter the depths of winter at this moment, so she shouldn't come here.
The Lord of the Ninth Floor naturally wouldn't be in such a hurry as them, although there were not many escorts accompanying them, but all of them were among the best masters in the rivers and lakes.
Su Qing sat in the carriage, and when she lifted the curtain to look over, she couldn't help coughing again: "Miss Shen, you are in such a hurry, but what happened?"
Shen Yan subconsciously glanced behind him, turned around and said, "Are you planning to go to Wuyang City first?"
Su Qing nodded and said, "A few days ago, there was no news from the Wuyang City stronghold, and the people from the nearby branch altars came to check but there was no news of them. I happened to go to an old friend's appointment to go to the city of Near Mo, so I thought I would stop by to have a look. ”
Shen Yan took a deep breath and said, "Wuyang City is very dangerous now, it's better not to go there first." ”
"Please also ask Miss Shen to elaborate. Su Qing paused slightly, and then invited Shen Yan and Meng Fuyao to the carriage, and according to Shen Yan's words, ordered the others to go to Cthulhu City first.
On the way, Shen Yan told Su Qing about the current situation in Wuyang City one by one, and finally said: "The people in there are now puppets infected by demon poison. Fortunately, I was afraid that I would cause trouble if I made a big fuss, but now that I escaped with Fuyao, according to what Hong Gongzi said, the demon clan should not give up. I don't know if it will bring danger to people in other places......"
Su Qing tightened her eyebrows, sighed slightly after listening to Shen Yan's words, and said, "In this way, the news we received recently may be true. ”
Shen Yan's heart jumped and asked, "What kind of news?"
Su Qing said: "I received an anonymous letter, saying that there is an abnormal movement in the demon clan of the Arctic Ice Field, and I asked me to contact the various sects and the imperial court as soon as possible to prepare as soon as possible." It's just that...... Miss Shen also knew that Wulin had always been well water in the imperial court, and now it is not a good way to find it just by relying on such a letter that I don't know whether it is true or false. So, after noticing the anomaly in Wuyang City, I thought about coming over to see what was going on in person. ”
"Then what should we do now?" asked Meng Fuyao, who had been quiet.
After thinking about it carefully, Su Qing said, "From this point of view, it is a good thing that the matter of Wuyang City is exposed. ”
"Good thing?" Shen Yan and Meng Fuyao couldn't help but look at each other when they heard her say this.
Su Qing shook his jaw and said: "The general of Zhenbei who guards the border of Cthulhu City is from the Mu family, if he can know what happened in Wuyang City and turn to the imperial court, the empress will naturally not pay attention to it." ”
"It would be great if that was the case. Shen Yan couldn't help but think of Xuan Yue and himself having said such news. It's just that she only told her ancestor Bai Zhi, and this time she also obeyed his instructions to go to the Buddha Immortal Trick Wall to send a letter, although she didn't know what the letter was about, but it was not difficult to guess that it was actually related to the affairs of the demon clan.
The Xianmen will not care about this when they know this, but they only represent the attitude of the Xianmen, and in the mortal world, they still need to be vigilant by the countries themselves.
The arrangement that Su Qing said seems to be the best at present. Now is not a troubled time, it is not bad to communicate with each other, and the confrontation with the demon race is a matter for the entire human race, as long as the leader of a country pays attention to it, it is not far from other countries to pay attention to it.
