Chapter Twenty-Four: The Night Attack on Meaux
"Oh, little brother, I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard of a ghost name, and it's also peculiar. When Ling Yaoshi heard this, his eyes flashed and said, "I don't know where the little brother comes from, in Ice Spirit City, I have never seen a little brother." ”
Xu Xiao glanced at Ling Yaoshi with a faint smile, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid you know that the ghost servant is a pseudonym to ask such a question, right? ”
"Zai Xia is from Ice Valley City, he is a member of a small family, and it is normal that Mr. Ling has not heard of this surname. Xu Xiao smiled faintly and said, although Ling Yaoshi has no malicious intentions, it is also good to have multiple hearts.
When Ling Yaoshi heard Xu Xiao's words, he knew in his heart: "I don't want to reveal my true identity, hehe, interesting boy, since that's the case, I won't ask more." ”
"I'm just asking a few more words, after the little brother goes back, just carry this jade piece close to you. This thing was obtained by me unintentionally, and I only knew that it could slow down the operation of the true element, but I didn't know what other effects it had, and it was like scrap metal to our Heavenly Destiny Master. Ling Yaoshi said apologetically, "It's just that the Dan Masters are quite curious about these strange things. In the future, Brother Ghost Servant, try not to take this thing out in front of those Dan people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Xu Xiao nodded after hearing this: "Thank you Brother Ling for mentioning it, I must keep it in mind next." I have to go back to the City Lord's Mansion to resume my life, so I won't stay longer, if I have the opportunity, let's talk about it next time. Xu Xiao said, and he clasped his fists towards Ling Yaoshi.
Seeing this, Lao Wu also said to Ling Yaoshi: "Lord Ling, you are busy with yours, you don't need to say hello." After that, he turned around and left Xingchen Zhai with Xu Xiao.
"I won't send it over there!" Ling Yaoshi said politely, looking at the back of the departing Xu Xiao, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "This son's strength can be regarded as a master in this area, but why do you want to be incognito?" Ling Yaoshi was only puzzled for a moment in his heart, and then turned around and entered Xingchen Zhai, what does all this have to do with him? After all, he is just a Heavenly Destiny Master who relieves people's lives.
"Brother Wu, where are we going now?" asked Xu Xiao after placing the jade piece close to his body.
Lao Wu thought for a while and said: "That's it, the city lord seems to have something to do today, you first find an inn to live in, and go directly to the city lord's mansion tomorrow, and the city lord will arrange it freely at that time, right?"
"I'm afraid that's the only way to go, just give me some time to study this jade piece. Xu Xiao's right hand was placed on his chest and said, the jade piece was extremely strange, as soon as it touched the skin, it reduced the speed of the true element circulation in Xu Xiao's body a lot.
According to what Ziwei Pojun said that day, once the Void Taibai Life Personality awakens, the cultivation speed will be extremely fast. It's just that Xu Xiao knows that if he is really so fast and can't consolidate his own cultivation, he is afraid that he will only be a waste person in the end. After all, there is no shortcut to cultivating this kind of thing, and there is no other way than to cultivate it yourself.
However, now this purple jade piece has helped Xu Xiao save the matter of compressing the true element, relying on this jade piece alone, it can compress the true element in the body to the extreme, which is much more effective than Xu Xiao suppressing it himself.
"That's fine, then brother ghost, you can go by yourself, I have to go back to the city gate to guard." Lao Wu said directly, and he had been away from the city gate for a long time: "If the little brother leads the army tomorrow, don't forget to bring you Brother Wu!"
Xu Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "That's natural, Brother Wu introduced me and took me to find the Heavenly Destiny Master, how could I forget." You can rest assured that tomorrow will have its own results. ”
Hearing Xu Xiao say this, Lao Wu didn't say anything, just turned around and went directly to the city gate.
After Lao Wu left, Xu Xiao didn't spend much effort to find an inn to stay in. Xu Xiao placed all the luggage and parcels, and asked the store to bring a bucket of hot water. After the store went out, Xu Xiao got in.
After staying in the bucket for a while, Xu Xiao was just so desperate that the slightest trace of true yuan slowly flowed out of his body. "What the master said is really good, this soul grass has not been completely refined. Although I can't find anything that is most masculine and strong, this hot water is a bit reluctant. Xu Xiao thought so in his heart.
At that time, the power of the six-branched and twelve-leaf Soul Rejuvenation Herb that Lao Wang used to save Xu Xiao was so huge? If it hadn't been for the repeated roasting of the geocentritis, which had condensed those huge True Elements by more than ten times, I was afraid that Xu Xiao would have exploded and died when he absorbed the Soul Rejuvenation Herb power that day.
"It's just that I don't know when the medicinal power of this soul rejuvenation grass will be dissipated, and at this speed, coupled with the effect of the purple jade piece, I don't know when it will be. Thinking of this, Xu Xiao sighed helplessly, and held the purple jade piece in the palm of his hand and played with it.
At this time, on the jade piece, a trace of text appeared as if nothing attracted Xu Xiao's attention.
"What is this?" Xu Xiao looked at the purple jade piece in surprise, and took it out of the water, but when Xu Xiao took out the jade piece, the handwriting that suddenly appeared disappeared again.
"It's weird! This jade must have a secret!" Xu Xiao put the jade piece into the water again, and the handwriting on it was revealed again.
I saw that the words "Haoran Qiankun Finger" were written on it with a very small ancient edge, and then the things recorded in the back were not things that Xu Xiao could understand.
"It turned out to be a kind of exercise! Dare to call yourself Haoran Qiankun's exercise, I'm afraid it's not ordinary, right?" Xu Xiao secretly thought to himself, just looking at the jade tablet except for the five big characters that Haoran Qiankun pointed to, the rest of the things couldn't understand anything, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This thing, in addition to these five words, is there a ghost use? ”
Xu Xiao thought about it, and sat quietly in the barrel, enjoying the rare calm. In the past year, Xu Xiao has spent every day and night in cultivation, and the opportunity to sit in a wooden barrel and take a good bath like this can be said to be almost non-existent.
Xu Xiao just lay down quietly, and after a while, he actually fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, but Xu Xiao was awakened by a noise. laughed at himself that he would fall asleep, so he hurriedly got dressed and prepared to go out.
There was a thunderous noise outside the window, and the shouts of killing pierced the whole city, and I didn't know what was going on.
"Little Second Brother, what happened, why is it so noisy?" Xu Xiao stopped the inn's junior second brother and asked.
The little second seemed to be very nervous, and he couldn't say anything, only hearing words like "It's a war again!"
Xu Xiao had no choice but to go to the shopkeeper and ask.
"Shopkeeper, what the hell is going on?"
The chubby innkeeper glanced at Xu Xiao and said, "I'm afraid this little brother hasn't been in Ice Spirit City before, right?"
Xu Xiao nodded suspiciously, what does this have to do with the noise?
"Hehe, I naturally don't know over there. The shopkeeper seemed to think that this was normal, and smiled: "This movement, it is estimated that the military horses of Mo City or Ice Lotus City have come to carry out a sneak attack again." It seems that this movement is not small. ”
Xu Xiao listened to the shopkeeper's explanation, and said in his heart: "Then in this case, I see that the little second brother is so flustered, why are you so calm?"
"Haha, young man, I've been in Ice Spirit City for so many years, and I haven't seen a single miscellaneous bird that can enter the city!" the shopkeeper laughed disapprerovingly: "As for that kid, he just came, it's normal to be a little scared, and after a long time, it's naturally fine." ”
"That's the case, then thank you, I still have something to do, let's go first. Xu Xiao said hello to the shopkeeper and turned around and left the inn.
"Young man, don't go out of the city at this time, there must be a lot of fighting. The shopkeeper kindly reminded Xu Xiaodao.
"Thank you for your kindness. Xu Xiao said without looking back, and rushed to the city gate.
The shopkeeper looked at the direction Xu Xiao left, shook his head and said, "It's good to be young, such courage, I don't have this old bone." ”
"Brother Wu, you must not have anything to do. Xu Xiao thought in his heart as he sped up. Lao Wu is a gatekeeper on weekdays, and he will only change shifts when he arrives, but now the hour is still early, so he is afraid that he is still outside the city gate, right? So Xu Xiao immediately rushed over when he learned that someone had attacked Ice Spirit City at night.
"Damn Mo City! If you have the ability to do it with real knives and guns on the battlefield, you can only sneak attack!" Outside the city gate, Lao Wu was carrying a huge axe in his hand, and his body was already stained with blood, although there were already many corpses of Mo City soldiers lying around, but he himself was also injured a lot.
"Ice Spirit City wasters!" In front of Lao Wu, a general-like man riding a Howling Moon Demon Wolf shouted: "Hurry up and open the city gate!
"Don't listen to him, brothers, we must defend this place, otherwise what will happen to those women and children in the city?" At this time, a sergeant under the Ice Spirit City stood up and said loudly, "You ......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was killed by the man's sword, and he was no longer angry. The soldiers of the Ice Spirit City around them were all frightened when they saw this, and the sergeant who spoke just now was also a gatekeeper, even if he reached the realm of an eighth-order boxer, he was killed by this man with a sword, what should those people with fourth- and fifth-order strength do?
However, Xu Xiao in the city just heard these words, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, if this man was allowed to massacre, this Ice Spirit City would be self-defeating, what the hell was this city lord doing?
"Are you really going to die here today?" Lao Wu smiled bitterly, forcibly supporting his body, and thought unwillingly in his heart.
"See? This is the end of the rebellion! The soldiers of Ice Spirit City are all listening! Those who surrender will not die! Those who resist will be killed immediately!" The man stretched out his palm, wiped the sword that had just been killed, and said coldly.
At the moment, there was chaos in the army of Ice Spirit City, and there were countless whisperers.
"Your Excellency bullied my Ice Spirit City Sergeant like this, is it too high to think of your own strength? Is it true that I have no one in Ice Spirit City?" A sudden angry shout came from the city tower, which not only awakened the fighting spirit of the Ice Spirit City Sergeant, but also surprised the man.
"Who are you, if you don't open the city and surrender, the day the city is broken, you will be slaughtered for three days!" the man said viciously.
As soon as the words fell, he saw a purple figure on the Ice Spirit City sweeping down: "Pioneer General in the Lower Ice Spirit City-Ghost Servant!"
Lao Wu looked at Xu Xiao in front of him, and his excited expression was revealed: "Little brother, today my Lao Wu owes you a life." ”
