Chapter 9 (1) A wave of unsettled waves
In a small house in Lingfeng City, a young man lying on his back sat up. He silently clenched his fists, and the breath in his body quickly turned, and after a while, he returned to calm.
The man slowly closed his eyes, as if trying to remember something, and after a moment muttered, "Sure enough, it's true." ”
This young man is Lin Yifan, who has just returned to the real world.
He had just checked his skills, but in fact, there was not much difference from the day when the snow fell heavily and he entered the illusion realm, and it was obvious that the skills gained by killing people in this isolated island had not really been brought to the real world. However, when he carefully experienced his body, he found that his spirit seemed to be much stronger. Not only that, but the secret books of the magic skills he had read and recorded on the island were still clearly imprinted in his mind at this time. As soon as Yifan's mind moved, a small teapot placed on the table not far away slowly flew to his outstretched palm. Yifan nodded, and this sword magic technique still seemed to work.
Just thinking about it, the little girl who had just run out of the house ran back again, followed by a white-bearded old man, who was the storyteller who saved the next mortal that day.
When Yifan saw the old man enter the house, he hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Hello, sir." ”
The old man pouted and said, "What's good, you lie here with me for most of the day, and my old man thinks something happened to you, just moving you in will make me choke on my old bones, you kid, your health is not good, why do you have to stand up and wander around?"
Yifan listened to the old man's words, but he couldn't help but laugh, and said, "I'm sorry for you, sir, please bear with me." ”
The old man snorted and said, "It's nothing to include or not, but because you have suffered so much, you still have to express it somewhat." ”
Yifan waved his hand and laughed: "That's nature, that's nature, I'll go buy some wine and food in a while, and then I will definitely compensate the old gentleman." ”
When the old man heard this, the expression on his face softened a little, and said, "It's okay." ”
Yifan couldn't help but be more concerned about the situation on the rivers and lakes at this time, and at this time he was eager to know the situation in the city, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, is there any change in this Lingfeng City after the snow in the city today?"
The old storyteller shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be much to say that there has been a change, but it seems that the number of people patrolling this city has suddenly decreased for a while, and now there are more of them." ”
At this time, Yifan had already deduced that the vision in this city was caused by the immortal array laid by the Endless Sword God with great mana. This snow is supposed to be the catalyst for people to leave this place and enter the mysterious spiritual island. And many martial arts people in this city, especially Liu Qianyuan, Nan Feiyan and others who have seen them on the island, must have entered a coma after coming into contact with this drifting snow like themselves. Although the speed of time passing seems to be very different between the two locations, using the time he was unconscious as a reference, these people must have lost consciousness for a while, so thinking about it, it seems that the situation in this city is a little more variable, and he has a sense of danger in his heart. Although at that time, most of the two of them were walking with the defenders in the city, searching for the remnants of the Demon Sect, and someone was taking care of it, so it should be nothing, but they couldn't help but be a little nervous in their hearts, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot, handed it to the old man, and said: "Old man, you take this ingot of silver first, and then go to the city lord's mansion to see the situation of the brothers in the same sect, and then you will definitely come to the door again to thank you." ”
The old storyteller looked at the silver, and the folds on his face bloomed happily, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go quickly." ”
Yifan nodded, exerted force under his feet, and his body walked like the wind, and disappeared in front of his ancestors and grandchildren in an instant.
This was the first time Yifan had come to the City Lord's Mansion in Lingfeng City. Previously, when everyone from Phoenix Mountain came to this Lingfeng City, only Jiao Ruilong came to visit Ji Lingfeng in the Old City Road, and the others were sent by him to buy and move. And Yifan himself rushed directly from the Lin family to the Forgotten Worry Building to meet the senior brothers and disciples, and he had no chance to meet the old city lord.
At a glance, the scale of this City Lord's Mansion in Lingfeng City was much larger than any City Lord's Mansion that Yifan had seen before, and the two stone lions at the gate of the mansion could be about two people tall, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The huge plaque above the main gate is made of pure gold, and the three big characters of the City Lord's Mansion glow dazzlingly, which makes people look shocked.
Yifan didn't have much to watch this rare scene on weekdays, so he stepped forward and said to the two guards at the door: "Two brothers, Yifan in the Lower Phoenix Mountain Forest came to visit the old city lord and Uncle Jiao Ruilong, who temporarily lives here, please inform the two of you." ”
How could the two soldiers guarding the gate not know the relationship between Phoenix Mountain and the Lingfeng City Lord, they didn't dare to slack off at this time, and replied: "Lin Shaoxia, please wait a while, I'll go and report it." As he spoke, he turned around and ran towards the Chengdu Mansion.
It didn't take long for a familiar figure to hurry from Chengdu Mansion and walk up to Yifan, he patted Xia Fan's shoulder twice, and said, "Yifan, where have you been? This person is Yifan's friend Liu Qianyuan.
Yifan arrived at Liu Qianyuan, and his heart was really excited, when he was on the island, he thought that Qianyuan was covering himself and others unfortunately died, although he later learned that this kind of incident did not happen in reality, but at this time, he really saw Liu Qianyuan standing here alive and really had a feeling that his old friend had been lost and recovered, and he couldn't help but open his arms and hugged Liu Qianyuan fiercely.
Liu Qianyuan was a little caught off guard by Yifan's moment, and said in surprise: "What's the matter, if Senior Sister Nan sees it, wouldn't something happen?" Speaking of Nan Feiyan, his face suddenly changed, and he said to Yifan: "Yifan, hurry up and come in with me first, something has happened." ”
After listening to Liu Qianyuan's words, Yifan probably knew that most of the changes were related to Nan Feiyan, and hurriedly followed Liu Qianyuan to the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
While walking Yifan, he couldn't help but ask, "Qianyuan, what happened to them, little geese?"
Liu Qianyuan's face was a little ashamed and anxious, and he replied: "Senior Sister Nan, Senior Uncle Jiao and Sun Wei have all disappeared. ”
As the two were talking, they rushed to the small courtyard where Jiao Ruilong lived before, and in the small courtyard, there were several people standing at this time, the leader was burly, dressed in a purple robe, and looked extremely graceful and luxurious.
Liu Qianyuan walked to the purple-robed man's side and said, "Old city lord, I brought Senior Brother Lin here." ”
Ji Lingfeng turned his head to look at Yifan who came in, nodded and said, "Lin Xiaoyou, I have heard of you for a long time, and it seems that today is indeed extraordinary." ”
Yifan bowed down and said, "The old city lord has a reputation. ”
Yifan finished saluting Ji Lingfeng, turned his head to Liu Qianyuan and said, "Qianyuan, what happened, what's wrong with Xiaoyan?"
Liu Qianyuan was about to answer, but Ji Lingfeng replied first: "There was a sudden change in the city today, and the city was full of snow in this summer, and with the strange snowflakes falling, several disciples of the Phoenix Mountain lineage also fell into a coma, but fortunately, they all woke up soon after. When I saw that this was quite strange, I took my officers and soldiers to inspect the city, but I didn't expect that it didn't matter, and that there would be so many more calamities. ”
As he spoke, he led Yifan towards the house. The approachability shown in the speech made Yifan feel a little flattered. You must know that the most important thing in the rivers and lakes is the seniority, and it is extremely rare for someone with such a high status as Ji Lingfeng to take the initiative and patiently explain the causes and consequences of this incident to Yifan.
Yifan followed Ji Lingfeng into the hut, and as far as the eye could see, there seemed to be traces of fighting in the hut, and the tables and chairs next to the bed were all knocked over. However, from the perspective of Yifan's experience, this battle does not seem to be fierce, but it seems to be solved within a few moves.
Yifan frowned and said: "Looking at this scene, it seems that there is only a fight, but it is not fierce, and there is no blood around it, it seems that Xiao Yan and they all said that they were robbed, but if they can rob the three of them so easily, the other party's skills must be very strong." ”
Ji Lingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, and looking at this trace, there must not be many people on the other side." The guards of the City Lord's Mansion didn't notice each other before and after this end, so I guess we have met some hard stubble. ”
Liu Qianyuan looked around the inside of the house and said: "This strange snow fell in the sky today, I fainted at the beginning, and the old city lord gathered everyone in this house in order to take care of everyone, but Sun Wei and I woke up one after another, but Senior Sister Nan has been in a coma, and then Sun Wei stayed here to take care of Senior Uncle Meng and Senior Sister Nan. ”
Although Yifan was anxious in his heart, he still remained calm, paced in this venue, shook his head and said: "It's strange, I have the spare strength to fight with the other party for one or two moves, knocking over the table and chairs, why can't I call for help? After all, this is in the City Lord's Mansion, and we are surrounded by our own people." ”
When Ji Lingfeng and the others heard Yifan's words, they all fell into deep thought.
Yifan paced around in this room, suddenly bent down and picked up something, and then, he raised his head and disappeared abruptly.
Ji Lingfeng looked at the place where Yifan disappeared, nodded and said, "The fake thing is instantaneous, I have heard its name for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen it." It seems that this kid is really an unborn genius in the immortal array. ”
Everyone only heard a whistle not far from the outside of the house, and when they came out to see, it was from a rockery outside a few courtyards in the house.
It turned out that what Yifan found on the ground was one of the several rune needles he had given to Nan Feiyan. Although the distance of the instant body was only within 100 meters, and he didn't know whether the needle was deliberately left by Nan Feiyan or accidentally dropped, he still recited the mantra in his heart with the attitude of trying, and suddenly came to this place.
This rockery is very close to the outside of the house, just more than 100 meters away from the hut, as soon as you come here, you will see a knife mark marked on the rockery, and it is a corner of the outer wall of the city lord's mansion.
Everyone continued to move forward in the direction of the arrow, and sure enough, another knife mark was found in the corner of the wall, and this time the direction was a street outside Yanfu that went straight.
Yifan glanced at Ji Lingfeng and the others, and said, "It seems that Xiao Yan was not hijacked, but chased the traces of those people. ”
Ji Lingfeng nodded, and said, "It's really a little easier to find their traces in this way, without further ado, I'll hurry up and find out," he looked at Yifan and the two of them, and said: "But in order not to startle the snake, there should not be too many people to go, Lin Yifan, Liu Qianyuan, let the two of you go with me." ”
Lin and Li replied in unison: "Yes."
Ji Lingfeng turned his head to the generals in the City Lord's Mansion and instructed: "On the one hand, you must guard the City Lord's Mansion, on the other hand, don't cut off the patrol on the street, don't let the other party be suspicious, in addition, listen to the order at any time, once you see the signal I sent, immediately rush to block the surroundings, don't let the thieves get away." ”
After the order was finished, and without further words, the three of them jumped over the wall and continued to follow the mark.
