Chapter 350: The county seat

Just when Hu Lai pulled Lu Zhaolin's neck collar, and the crowd surrounded Lu Zhaolin's father and son. Outside the crowd www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, Luo Siyuan followed the donkey and hurriedly walked out of the town.

The donkey actually didn't go fast, it was Luo Siyuan. After following the donkey for a while, and then going around to that side, he didn't even dislike accidentally stepping on the donkey's dung, and even looked extremely respectful, and asked again and again as he walked: "Donkey...... Sir, where has my master gone? Are you taking me to him? Will he come back?"

It turned out that when Zhang Xuanqing "rode the dragon to heaven" and "rode the dragon" before, Luo Siyuan was also stunned. It was the donkey that bit the horns of his clothes and pulled him out. He didn't react at first, and subconsciously followed the donkey, until now, when he suddenly realized that Zhang Xuanqing had left by the dragon and didn't come back, what should he do?

Thinking that it was the donkey that pulled him out just now, Luo Siyuan felt that the donkey should have taken him to Zhang Xuanqing. But there was no definite answer, and he really didn't know the bottom in his heart. Thinking of the conversation between Zhang Xuanqing and the donkey before, and what he said about this donkey's cultivation and dragon blood, he thought that he could understand his words, so he asked out loud, and even used an honorific title.

It's a pity that he thought too much, or was deceived. Where does this donkey have the blood of a dragon, where can he understand human speech, he is just an ordinary donkey, everything is Zhang Xuanqing's illusion. The so-called "riding the dragon to heaven" and "riding the dragon away" are just Zhang Xuanqing's shrinking illusions, which creates a mental illusion that does not consume much mana at all. Even when he felt pulled out by a donkey, Zhang Xuanqing used illusion to affect his subconscious and let him drive the donkey out, and at this time Zhang Xuanqing himself was squatting on the donkey.

However, seeing his anxious expression, Zhang Xuanqing was also a little unbearable. He simply cast the illusion again, and made the donkey "turn back" to look at him, and screamed twice, and then continued to walk forward.

Luo Siyuan didn't know whether it was true or not, but the donkey answered him and affirmed what he said. At the moment, I was overjoyed, and I followed the donkey, and walked ...... I'm getting more and more anxious.

I want to see Zhang Xuanqing earlier!

However, when he walked outside the town, he never saw Zhang Xuanqing. Looking at the sky, not to mention the dragon, there was not even a cloud, Luo Siyuan was worried again.

"Mr. Donkey, why hasn't my master come back yet?"

"Will he come back?"

"It's not like you don't want me, is it?"

"Mr. Donkey, you have something to say. ”

"Did my master ride the dragon back to the sky?"

“......”

Sentence after sentence, question after question. "Mr. Donkey" is not tired of listening, but Zhang Xuanqing is tired of listening. It happened that a small stream appeared in front of him, and he pointed at it, and the mist condensed, becoming his illusion.

Luo Siyuan was still chasing after the donkey and asked, and when he looked up, he saw "Master" standing by the stream and smiling at him, as if he was beautiful or something. Called Master, and didn't care about the donkey, Sa Yazi ran over, poked her head and looked behind Zhang Xuanqing: "Master, you're back, where is the dragon?"

"Naturally, the dragon went where it was supposed to go. Zhang Xuanqing had already followed Luo Siyuan to the stream where the illusion was at this time, otherwise he would be talking on the donkey, and his voice would be in the wrong direction.

Fooling the dragon's whereabouts, he then controlled the illusion and walked towards the donkey, and said, "Silly boy, don't look at it, haven't you heard of the dragon swimming in shallow water and being played by shrimp? It can't be in this stream." Let's go, it's time for us to hurry. ”

"Hey~" Luo Siyuan agreed, and walked back behind Zhang Xuanqing.

When he arrived at the donkey, Zhang Xuanqing turned over the donkey, and Luo Siyuan naturally took the reins of the donkey. But suddenly saw that Zhang Xuanqing was sitting face forward on the back of the donkey for a while, and then turned around and sat upside down. He couldn't help asking, "Master, why are you ......?"

"Leave me alone, go your way. Zhang Xuanqing waved his hand away, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart: Zhang Guo didn't come to ride a donkey like this, right?

Originally, he really just wanted to buy a donkey as a substitute, after all, he and Luo Siyuan walked and flew one by one, and the speed was too unequal. It wasn't until this time that he remembered that when he first arrived in Datang, he said that his surname was Zhang Mingguo. Now that he has become a bat and bought a donkey, I don't know if this is the cause and effect.

For the next few days, the two of them were on the road, walking and stopping, and at night they either went to the inn, or did not reach the village or town, and simply camped in the wilderness. On the evening of the eighth day, when the sun was setting, I finally saw a county seat.

From afar, the two of them saw the high city gate tower, which was located on the city wall, towering and majestic. The city wall below is even more towering, painted with vermilion outside, and the door hole is built below, and there are soldiers guarding it outside. It's just that there is only one point, it stands to reason that the evening is the time when the people in the village go out of the city to go home, and the people in the city go back to the city, and there should be a lot of people at the city gate. But in the city in front of him, only three or five people entered the city at the gate, and in addition, there were only soldiers and generals guarding the gate.

When you get closer, it gets even weirder. I saw that when I looked inward through the city gate, the roads in the city were empty, there were few pedestrians, and the doors of every house were closed. Occasionally, there are a few figures, and they are also in a hurry.

When they arrived at the city gates, the gatekeepers stopped the two men, checked their bags, and even searched their bodies. Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help asking: "This official, what's wrong in this city, but what's going on? Why are there so few people? and so strict?"

There were several questions in a row, and the officers and soldiers were very impatient: "You don't know how to read it yourself!" Pointing back, Zhang Xuanqing looked at it, and saw a notice posted on the city wall on one side.

Before he could read the words on the notice, the officers and soldiers had already checked him and urged him to leave quickly. Another officer and soldier who was still checking Luo Siyuan kindly reminded: "Two Dao Chiefs, you should read the notice and think about it before deciding whether to enter the city or not." If it's nothing but a stay, I'd advise you to stay out for the night. Now you are not allowed to enter or leave the city. ”

Luo Siyuan asked curiously, "Brother Guan, what happened in the city?"

"What else can happen, there are people in the city. And there are more than a dozen in a row, but the murderer doesn't know who it is. At this time, Zhang Xuanqing had already seen the words on the notice, and said lightly: "In such a big case, the county magistrate of this county is afraid of being anxious and dying, and he must order martial law, and he is not allowed to enter or leave, lest the murderer escape." ”

The officer and soldier nodded, and then shook their heads and said, "The Taoist guessed a few points, but things are not as simple as you say......"

"Ahem!" The officer and soldier who suddenly checked Zhang Xuanqing coughed twice. The officer and soldier who was inspecting Luo Siyuan suddenly changed his words: "...... In short, if you want to enter the city, you have to think about it, and after you enter, you will definitely not be let out of the city in the next few days. If you are in a hurry to go somewhere else, it is better not to go into the city. After saying that, he and another officer and soldier went back to both sides of the city gate. No matter how much Luo Siyuan called, he didn't reply. (To be continued.) )
