Chapter 280: Ling Xiao Woke Up from a Dream (17)

"I don't know if it's a companion, and it's likely that he also has bad intentions, but it doesn't matter, Brother Mu, do you remember Gloomy, do you think he will be our companion?" As he spoke, the two began to walk out of the city, and at the same time, Gu Xuyao was also thinking about how to use the key in his hand.

"He, I must remember, then again, I actually helped Brother Shen. ”

"That's right, that's the truth, no matter who the other party is, I think he wants to advance and retreat with me before cracking this game. ”

There was a thunderclap in the sky, dark clouds covered it, and it looked like it was about to rain heavily.

"Then Brother Shen means that we are going to join forces with him?"

"You can say that, but the most important thing is that we have to build up our strength in the process of breaking the game, so that we are not afraid to fight at the end. ”

It's not a good idea to lie on the salary and taste the guts, as the so-called can only achieve great things if you can endure what others can't.

"So that's the case, that's good, just do what you say, Brother Shen, no matter what, I will fully support you. Meng Meng said and smiled, but then became distressed again: "Then what should we do now?"

"How? Quite simply, since this man had hidden the gold in the place where I found the key, it means that he wants us to follow these clues, and I think we will be able to see him at some point. ”

Meng Meng nodded as if she didn't understand, and at this time, the tears accumulated on the cloudy day began to pour, which was bigger than the drizzle, but it was not as good as the cow hair.

The rain is urgent but not impetuous, this kind of indescribable rain is actually the unique taste of the Lingxiao Realm.

Soon the two of them came to the city gate that left the red mud area. At this time, a bolt of lightning happened to fall from above the clouds, and the lightning was like a shock, but it made Gu Xuyao's mind flash.

The flower desire was distracted, and he walked up the stairs of the climbing wall, and when he came to the top, he encountered the magic circle that was obstructed, of course, this kind of thing of the same level did not pose any threat to the current Gu Xuyao at all, and the two of them came to the city wall.

As early as when he was in Taiheng Gate, Gu Xuyao had already understood a little that all the monks guarding these mortal areas were people in various sects who had no future or were about to return. But because most of the objects of support are simple mortals. So even so, the number of people needed in each mortal zone is not much.

Originally, the cultivation of these people was not a problem for Gu Xuyao at all, plus who would come to the mortal area on weekdays, they would naturally be lazy if they could. Even if Gu Xuyao doesn't use Flower Desire Blur, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to be discovered.

"Brother. Are we here to find the monk the little blacksmith spoke of?" Knowing that this is an infiltration action, I consciously use sound transmission to enter the secret.

"If you think about it, the Tao practiced by my ancestral house is not very good. It will take about twenty years or so to be blessed again, but why has no one in the village ever seen anyone come to cast a spell?" Gu Xuyao said, discerning the direction a little and continuing to sneak in. "For a monk, if you want to sneak in and do things without the eyes and ears of mortals, why do you want to send their ashes back with great fanfare, in addition to letting me know about this, I'm afraid that the monk is also a clue. ”

Feeling into the barracks of the city guards, it is directly above the city gate, and there are no magic circle traps, I am afraid that for the monks here, they would never dream that someone would come to such a remote place with thin yuan power to wreak havoc.

Perhaps because of human inertia, not only did the mortals not want to go out when it rained outside, but even these monks were happy to gather and drink in it, and to be honest, people like them, who already knew that they had no future, could only live here in pleasure.

Gu Xuyao glanced at the people in the room who were drinking and their faces were flushed, there were old and young, the old ones were talking about their deeds back then, and the young ones were constantly toasting.

"So brother, do you think it's true that the little blacksmith said that someone once saw that the monk who had been in and out of the village several times lived in this wall?"

"Of course not, just a memorial at a glance, what is the difficulty of adding it to a mortal for a monk, but I understand what he means, it is nothing more than to sue me, and the next clue is probably here. ”

"Huh, you mean that's where the key is used?"

Gu Xuyao didn't speak, and pulled Mengmeng to continue the in-depth investigation, every clue in Leishi Village was not far apart, and it was more like some kind of chain reaction, so he concluded that this key would not be left for too long.

Due to the small number of people, the size of the barracks is not large, and there are rooms on the left and right sides of a long corridor, so you can see the bottom at a glance. Soon the two of them searched all the rooms, and there was naturally a place locked with a lock, but it was a pity that they only had to look at it to see that the key in their hands was not used there.

"Brother, it doesn't seem right, are we looking in the wrong direction?"

Muttering, Gu Xuyao himself was also thinking, but he always believed that his judgment was correct, and pulled Mengmeng back, and now the only place in this barracks that has not been searched is the meeting room where everyone gathered to drink at this time.

The fragrant dishes on the table came from the beasts in the red mud area, and although these were not at all dismissive to the monks with slightly higher cultivation, they were probably not too bad for these people.

Originally, Gu Xuyao didn't want to alarm the guards here, but he had no choice but to search this room, rather than attracting them to find out when something happened, it was better to let these guards go to see Zhou Gong now.

Under his understanding, the Five Xuan Lotus Light quickly fascinated everyone, and they must have thought that it was the rice wine brewed by these mortals that made them drunk.

"Brother, there don't seem to be any clues here, it's all rags. "The chamber is supposed to be used for deliberations, but in fact what can the monks who guard the mortal quarters discuss? The furnishings are very simple, nothing more than things they have seen on a daily basis, but they are all old and dusty, except for the spotless table where the few people are seated, and it seems that they really have nothing to do here except to gather together for a drink.

But as the so-called clues, how can you find them if you are not careful? After looking around, Gu Xuyao felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"What are you thinking? I think we're in the wrong place, let's go, let's go outside and look for it, or just wake up one of them and say hello, anyway, they must have received an order to go to your brother's ancestral house every once in a while to cast a spell, just ask him who gave the order. Meng Meng hung her head down, and when she saw Gu Xuyao beside her and didn't speak, she wanted to do it herself, but at this time, the white-haired man stopped her.

"Wait, it's useless for you to ask them, since you can get someone else to do this, then he must be confident that his identity will not be revealed, instead of revealing that we have been here, it is better to take a look at these paintings, do you find them strange?"

There were indeed three paintings hanging in the chamber, and like the rest of the room, they were covered in dust and did not appear to be anything out of the ordinary.

"What's so strange about these paintings, anyway, this is also a place for monks, and hanging a few ordinary calligraphy and paintings is just to raise the style. ”

"No, this is the gate of the mortal district, and the people who are appointed are the most unpromising monks, you think, this city wall has existed since ancient times, and the whole thing is cold rock, why bother to hang three pictures with landscapes here?"

Meng Meng was also interested when she heard this, she touched her chin thoughtfully: "But none of us know when we got these paintings, maybe a group of monks who were sent to guard the city gate brought them?"

Glancing at Mengmeng, Gu Xuyao smiled: "That's right, it's good to think of this, but in fact, what does it matter who brought it? ”

Saying that, Gu Xuyao gently pulled up the calligraphy and painting, and the dust flew, revealing the wall behind it, and sure enough, there was a keyhole there!

The keyhole was very small, and the wall was very old, and there were many of these small holes in the wall, if you didn't concentrate on looking for it, you would have thought of it as an ordinary gap.

Mengmeng's eyes widened, she couldn't imagine that there was really a mystery here, Gu Xuyao shook his head with a smile, and inserted the key in his hand, he heard a gentle bounce, but nothing else happened.

"This,What's going on?,There's obviously a reaction.,But it doesn't seem to be completely effective.,Brother,Did you say it's because it's too old.,Those organs are broken?"

"Impossible, that person can lay out such a big game, how can such a simple link in it leak, it must be that we have not fully activated it. ”

After saying that, Gu Xuyao immediately thought of something, he quickly opened the other two paintings and inserted the key into it, each insertion would make the same sound as the first time, but even after three rings, nothing happened.

Suddenly, the clue seemed to be broken again, but this did not last long, and Gu Xuyao, who was as smart as Gu Xuyao, immediately found that one of the paintings was facing the door, which was built of solid stone and connected to the city wall, plus there were not many people in the barracks, and there was no portal in each room, so it was naturally irrational to search into the air, but not under the feet.

Squatting down to take a closer look, there were more small holes in the ground, but fortunately, his eyes were sharp, and he soon found that there was actually a most inconspicuous keyhole hidden on the ground at the door of the chamber......!
