MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 428 Open hidden version
「Is it done?」
"Okay." At that moment, Fu Shanyue took away part of the evil spirit from her body, and then put her in Fu Shanji's carriage.
There is a long box on the car, or a coffin, with a magic circle attached to it, and with a little adjustment, it can basically isolate the girl from the outside world.
Seeing that the slave had changed masters, he served tea and water graciously, and served Fu Shanyue and Tao Zi very attentively.
He Lingchuan saw him eating in a corner away from the fire, like a bowl of mush? Everyone else was sitting, but he could only squat or kneel.
"Hi." He greeted the man and tossed him an apple.
The cheap slave got the apple and didn't gnaw it. He looked at Chi Yanren's face and saw that the latter was indifferent, so he bowed three times to He Lingchuan, picked up the apple and shrank into the dark, and started to gnaw it.
That sound is like a mouse.
A Chiyan man saw it, and smiled at He Lingchuan: "Don't look at him as pitiful, this guy beat his wife and a daughter to death with his own hands at home."
After the caravan settled down, the moon had already set in the west, and everyone took the time to rest. Tomorrow's journey is still far away.
Of course, there are still people on guard this time.
He Lingchuan didn't plan to sleep anymore, so he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
I don't know how long it took, and there was a soft "Qiang", which was actually a low sound from the scabbard of the treasure.
Then a nearby sentinel let out a small cry of surprise.
He Lingchuan quickly opened his eyes.
The illusion has appeared again!
The moonlight is as abundant now as it was an hour ago. Under He Lingchuan's gaze, the ancient city more than two hundred years ago reappeared.
But unlike last time, it was silent and breathless.
There are people on the city gate, and soldiers with long guns walk around to observe the surrounding fields, but there is no need to fight the enemy bravely. Because it was quiet under the city gate, there was no army of spirits filling the mountains and plains.
There was no smoke, no crying, no guns and arrows, and no flames.
The Ancient City of Thousand Stars, like people today, is peacefully bathed in this round of moonlight.
How is this going?
When the curtain of the carriage on the opposite side was lifted, Fu Shanyue jumped down on tiptoe, and asked He Lingchuan in a low voice: "Hey, let's go take a look again?"
With so many things happening tonight, it was impossible for him to sleep without waking up. The subordinates I have newly subdued were originally Fu Shanji's subordinates, who knows if there is anyone who is loyal to the emperor and loves the Lord, who can't bear to think about it and must plot against him?
"Let's go." He Lingchuan was very straightforward. Anyway, the eye spider responsible for tracking the camp has not been taken back, so let it continue to serve.
At this time, Master Shi Er also heard the voice of the sentinel, rubbed his eyes and sat up. He looked outside, dumbfounded: "What, what's going on? Why is the illusion different from the original?"
"Have you never seen this scene?"
Master Shi Er rubbed the back of his head: "I heard that there is only one scene in the illusion, that is, the one who fought and killed just now. But this, such a quiet Thousand Stars City, I don't seem to have heard of it. "
Is this a new scene unlocked? He Lingchuan became more energetic.
But Master Shi Er was so sleepy that he didn't want to go out to explore anymore, he just wanted to fall asleep.
So the two who were still full of energy greeted the camp sentinel, and walked lightly into the depths of the illusion.
The city in the illusion is extraordinarily quiet, as if it is also late at night, and there are only two or three kittens on the deserted road. He Lingchuan also heard crickets' cries, but he didn't know if it was in a fantasy or in reality.
It's hard to tell the truth from the fake.
Since getting the branch fragments of the King of the Treasure Tree, the soul-hunting mirror has been in retreat recently. It hadn't eaten or drank for hundreds of years, and suddenly within half a month, it was full of emperor fluid and twigs, all of which were nourishing. It was a bit full and had to digest.
Otherwise, He Lingchuan didn't know how many times he would have heard it exclaim tonight.
This city is too big and quiet, which direction should I explore?
Fu Shan thought about it more: "The framing of this natural illusion depends on the occasional coincidence of time and place, and there may not be any important cause and effect. Maybe this is a very ordinary day in Qianxing City.
sky. "
He pointed to the wet ground: "Look, it has just rained in the city, and there is still a bright moon in the sky, which coincides with the weather we encountered tonight."
He Lingchuan snorted: "The moon is shining, why are the stars in the east also bright?"
Generally speaking, moon stars are rare. Tonight, the moonlight shines on the mountains and rivers, reflecting the world like daytime, and the stars in the sky are eclipsed.
Except for a star in the east, shining purple.
It does not compete with the moonlight, but the moonlight cannot conceal its existence.
He Lingchuan has never studied astrology, but this star is really bright.
Hearing his prompt, Fu Shanyue also looked up: "Why is Tianluo star bright?"
「Is this called Tian Luo Xing?」
"You don't know?" Fu Shanyue expressed surprise at his ignorance, "Tian Luo Xing is the tenth star of the Big Dipper. It is usually dim and hard to see with the human eye, and it only lights up a few times. "
「A few times?」
"It seems to be every year from autumn to early spring." Fushan raised his head to gaze at the stars, "It's not yet August, why is it bright? And, did it light up in the first half of the night tonight?"
He Lingchuan shrugged: "I have no impression."
How many beautiful things does he have, how can he have nothing to do to stare at the sky?
For example, the one in front of you—“Huh?”
He Lingchuan approached a high wall quickly, and stroked the patterns on the wall with his hands.
This pattern is too familiar, he has seen it countless times on the south gate wall of Panlong City in his dream, that is—
Black flood dragon!
Although there is a huge sculpture behind the south gate of Panlong City, here is just a pattern like a magic circle, and Lian Jiao's capital is drawn in a Q version, but He Lingchuan is very sure that this is the Black Jiao!
The sudden appearance of this pattern shocked He Lingchuan more than the illusion itself, because it meant that there was some connection between Qianxing City and Panlong City.
These two cities, one in Bega and the other in Xiluo, are separated by tens of thousands of miles. Why do they have the totem of the black dragon?
Generally speaking, on such conspicuous avenues and official walls, the carvings and paintings are all national protection spirit beasts.
For example, the guardian spirit beast of the Xiluo Kingdom is a golden bull, and the south gate of Panlong City was originally placed there, but was later changed to a black dragon by Zhong Shengguang's order.
But the problem is that the golden bulls in the Xiluo Kingdom are real and can be seen and touched. They guard the capital at ordinary times, and they can be released to defend against the enemy during wars.
But what about the black dragon?
He Lingchuan has entered and exited the Panlong Dreamland so many times, why has he never seen the black dragon himself?
The black dragon in the illusion of ruins cannot be counted, it is the remnant soul of Zhong Shengguang who borrowed its image to appear.
Even He Lingchuan asked many people, including Hu Min and Xiao Maoliang, but no one has ever seen the black dragon with their own eyes.
In that case, why did Panlong City set up a statue for it?
What's even more outrageous is that Thousand Star City, tens of thousands of miles away, did the same thing!
Yuan Kingdom, as one of the original twelve demon kingdoms, does not have any guardian spirit beasts like the human kingdom.
Monsters run everywhere here, and the most powerful among them all want to be high officials. Who cares about being some kind of spirit beast? Self-deprecation!
Even if there are two words "protecting the country" in front of it, it won't work.
So it was a weird move for Qianxing City to paint black flood dragons on the wall.
He Lingchuan turned to look at Fu Shanyue, he also looked confused.
Obviously, this guy doesn't know much more about Yuan Guo two hundred years ago than He Lingchuan.
Then the two continued to search, and sure enough, they found the black dragon pattern outside the official building. This time it is a brick carving, the faucet protrudes outwards, and the carving is very fine.
A brick was placed under the brick carving, and an incense burner was placed on it, with two sticks of incense stuck in it.
The people are also enshrining it.
The last time they entered the illusion of Thousand Star City, there were fires and scorched earth everywhere. Who would pay attention to the patterns on the wall? Or maybe they were destroyed in the fire of war long ago.
This time, he finally saw clearly.
Fu Shanyue also stared at it, and murmured:
「Where did you see it?」
"Have you seen it?" He Lingchuan immediately asked, "Where is it?"
"I saw it in my father's study when I was a child, probably in which books?" Fu Shan Yue lightly hissed, "It was a long time ago, I don't remember."
「Cut. It’s unreliable.」
「Anyway, it’s ***… No, it’s a secret scroll file.」
"Oh?" He Lingchuan became interested, "How old were you then?"
「Seven or eight years old?」
"How do you know it's ***?" It's so precocious.
"Father's study room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. I won't say anything about the outside room. The things in the inside room are not shown to anyone. There are books, files and letters, and some messy things." Fu Shanyue recalled, "I remember a palace man I knocked down two books while cleaning the imperial study room, accidentally flipped through two pages when I picked it up, and then lost my head."
The Lord Chiyan is well-informed and long-lived, so it is not surprising that there are some secrets in the study.
He Lingchuan looked at Jiaoshou in front of him: "It's taboo in your father's place, but you can see it in the streets here?" King Yuan's gesture is really decisive, and he doesn't leave any retreat for himself.
Another mystery.
"Further ahead is Miyagi." He straightened up, looked at the tall palace walls and buildings with exposed spires not far away, and murmured, "In the end, we still walked towards Miyagi."
He couldn't tell what was going on, as if he was guided somewhere.
「It’s all here, go and have a look.」
The two of them walked back several tens of feet, and were about to enter the gate of the palace guarded by soldiers, when they saw a carriage turning the corner of the street, and the lanterns were emitting a yellowish halo at night.
The car is very low-key, but the horse is a good horse.
The carriage stopped in front of the Dismounting Monument at the gate of the palace, and a long-robed scribe came down. He was young and weak, with a handsome face and a mole between his eyebrows.
He was not wearing an official uniform, but the guards recognized him: "Your Majesty has ordered, Mr. Shao, please go to the turret of the second west gate." After a pause, he continued, "Let's go by car with permission."
I saw this carriage in the middle of the night, so He Lingchuan and the two of course wanted to follow.
The carriage did not dare to go fast in the palace, and drove west along the base of the wall, and stopped after about half an hour.
Here we reached the top corner of the palace city. By the moonlight, He Lingchuan and the two saw a turret standing above the city wall, and it still had three floors.
Master Shao got off the car and climbed the wall here, and went up the steps.
He Lingchuan looked left and right, and saw a tree on the inside of the high wall, about four feet high.
