On the reed field, Lu Jinan held his hands to blow in the wind. Soon, the group of boys and girls who passed by in a hurry turned back and saw Xi Huan and his party again. They were covered in dirt and gray, and their faces were completely different from the aura of holding their heads high and chest out just now.
.No need to ask, I can see that the group of people got into trouble in the pit.
He had just dismissed the fellow disciples around him. When he saw Xi Huan and his party returning in despair, Lu Jinan greeted him generously and asked with a smile: "Did you gain anything?"
Wang Linghuan opened her mouth without thinking much, but Xi Huan coughed heavily, and the young Taoist nun bit her tongue and started talking. She looked at Xi Huan and then at her third senior brother in embarrassment.
Lu Jinan waved to her understandingly, and then looked at the young man who came forward.
Xi Huan lowered his face. After Ah Qing and the others reminded him, the young man now knew how scary his shameful appearance was, so it was better to avoid suspicion as much as possible just in case.
Confused, he said rudely: "There are no clues, the problem is not here."
Seeing that he didn't want to reveal any more clues, Lu Jin'an got out of the way knowingly. He had always been so generous and decent. Besides, the young man didn't want to talk more now. No matter how much trouble he made, it would only add to his unhappiness. It was really not possible, he
You can also wait until the junior sister returns to the mountain gate before asking.
"It's okay if you don't want to say more. Come on, I'll take you out." Lu Jinan naturally turned around and blended into the team, leading the way.
The two masters and servants behind them glanced at the man in front of him warily. He seemed to have eyes behind his back. As he walked, he left a figure with his hands spread out on his back and explained: "Of course you have to do everything when you are acting. Junior Sister has already said so."
If I bring you here to see me, wouldn’t it be a joke if I let you go out on your own?"
This makes sense. Xi Huan nodded to A Qing and Wang Ling Huan, then followed them, landing three steps behind the third senior brother.
The group of people passed through the cleared reed field without any danger. Lu Jinan's prestige in the mountain view was obviously not low. After ordering the personnel in this area to be dismissed, there was really not a single person in sight along the way.
While walking, Lu Jinan said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Brother, since it's not convenient to say whether there are any clues in the pit, can you explain your eyes?"
The man immediately added: "Oh, I don't mean any harm. I just happened to see it when I was walking there just now. As you know, monks have higher senses than ordinary people, and they can see some things clearly even in the dark."
Xi Huan hummed, and it happened that Lu Jinan turned around and smiled apologetically at him. The young man took this opportunity to stop being secretive and raised his frightening black eye sockets. The granulations in the hollow eye sockets were growing vigorously and were denser than before.
Even people like Lu Jin'an couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when they saw him up close.
Xi Huan suddenly stopped and said to the girl behind him: "Ah Qing, take a handkerchief and cover my eyes."
Hearing this, the girl pulled off a piece of cloth from her sleeve and said curiously: "Master, please cover your eyes and let me lead you to walk."
Squatting down and letting the demon girl wrap the cloth in front of his eyes, Xi Huan said calmly: "Don't worry, even like this, I can still see clearly. This state is very strange. It is somewhat similar to vision, but it is not exactly the same.
.”
"It's a different kind of vision," analyzed Lu Jin'an, who was waiting in front. "Although it's the same as the world we see, upon closer inspection, the most obvious difference is the light and color. This is the sense of the world.
The difference is because the angle from which you observe the world is a higher level method."
Hearing this, the young man closed his eyes again and felt the world around him. Then he nodded in agreement and said, "It's very pertinent. It's true. Senior Brother Lu understands it so well. Could it be that you do too?"
Lu Jinan immediately pointed to his eyes and denied, "Don't get me wrong, brother, I'm a normal person. It's because one of my fellow disciples is in a similar situation to you, so I know a little bit about it."
The young Taoist nun who was following behind trembled when she heard this, and immediately thought of the blind senior brother. After Lu Jinan's reminder, she remembered that she had not contacted her senior senior brother for a whole day after going down the mountain, and Hou Xingyuan entered the city.
There will be no news at all in the future. When she thinks of this, it is difficult for Wang Linghuan not to connect this with what Xi Huan and the others said before.
As soon as the young man heard that he was from the same sect, he became a little less interested, and his original idea of asking about the strange eyes was stopped.
"Brother, can't you really reveal even a little bit of the clues in the pit?" Lu Jin'an said a little discouraged.
Xi Huan still shook his head, his attitude was very resolute. The dark city head under the moonlight in front had already appeared in his field of vision, and soon the group passed through the reeds as tall as a person.
When their vision suddenly became clear, everyone saw the figure of a girl in white sitting high on the city top at the first glance. Bai Yuekui, who had been sitting on the wall from the time he set out, also raised his eyes at the same time.
Scan them one by one.
The girl's white face in the gloomy night was not pure, and there was a trace of blood mixed in the air. Lu Jin'an and A Qing, who had excellent eyesight, were the first to notice that the corpses hanging in the dark corners of the city were all black-clothed and masked spies.
They were all dressed up. Adding up all the corpses, there were five or six corpses.
I had thought that the spies from the Snow Camp had suffered heavy losses on the reed plains, but I didn't expect that the emaciated camels were bigger than horses. Under such stressful circumstances, the imperial court was still able to dedicate five or six monks to keep an eye on this place.
The small Changjun City.
First there was an inadvertent flash of light above the city, so subtle that even A-Qing didn't notice it.
Only Lu Jin'an felt like he was facing a formidable enemy for a moment. The hostility of the female swordswoman in white was obviously directed at him. Even though the light from the sword that was less than an inch out of its sheath was as thin as a gossamer, the coldness had already been avoided before his eyes.
"Miss, you are in a bad mood today." Ah Qing muttered, obviously speaking to someone. Then she saw the figure in white floating down to the top of the city without waiting for them to approach, and the demon girl immediately fell silent.
.
The leader, Lu Jin'an, saluted straightforwardly and said, "I'm watching Lu Jin'an from Honghu Mountain. It's a pleasure to meet you."
After walking in, the smell of blood on Bai Yuekui's body became more obvious. Together with the cold face of the girl at this moment, it gave people a strange look that she did not want to approach strangers. Xi Huan could feel her eyes resting heavily on his face.
After a long time, he moved to Lu Jinan in front.
After just clasping his fists slightly, Bai Yuekui waved his sleeves and turned around to leave: "Let's go, let's talk about it when we get back."
The man who was left standing aside watched the girl in white leave neatly and helplessly blinked at the others behind him.
"Little Junior Sister Linghuan, are you planning not to go back to the mountain to watch tonight?" Lu Jinan did not let go of Wang Linghuan who was hiding behind him, tilting his head and smiling at her.
As soon as her name was called, Wang Linghuan grimaced. Her curiosity drove her to stay and ask Xi Huan what happened, but after thinking about it, there was really no reason to stay outside and fool around anymore. The young Taoist nun lowered her head and slowly walked away.
Walked out from behind.
Seeing this look, Lu Jinan said amusedly: "Is it because Yamashita is so exciting that you don't want to go back and sit empty?"
Wang Linghuan said angrily: "That's not true, Third Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense! I... have something important to do."
Facing the curious eyes of her fellow disciples, Wang Linghuan, who was not good at lying, said with a guilty conscience: "I'll just go back, don't ask me..."
Lu Jin'an nodded, Xi Huan and the other two were about to leave when they saw this, but the man shouted again: "You two?"
"What are you doing?" Ah Qing turned around and asked.
Lu Jinan said politely: "If it's convenient, we can meet again in the city."
After hearing these words, the demon girl twitched her lips and looked like you're okay. She didn't want to say another word, and the master and servant turned around and walked towards the city.
They parted ways at the city gate, and the brothers and sisters from Honghu Mountain View turned back towards the west. After passing through the city gate, Xi Huan and A Qing quickly caught up with Bai Yuekui who was waiting for them at the street entrance.
"Anything gained?" the girl asked, crossing her hands.
Xi Huan recalled the scene in the pit, and for a moment he didn't know how to tell her about the giant golden eyes in the pit.
Bai Yuekui didn't care and continued: "Let me tell you first, do you know how long you have been in there?"
Xihuan estimated the time. Putting aside the vague sense of time during the fall, they would only stay there for about two hours at most.
"An hour and a half?" the young man asked tentatively.
The girl shook her head, stretched out a finger and said, "For a whole day and night, those snow-walking sentinel pigeons at the top of the city searched here one after another in one day, and were intercepted and killed by me."
As soon as these words came out, Xi Huan and A Qing both widened their eyes. Xi Huan himself could explain it. After all, when he fell, if the period of time that was short and long during the fall was included and was separated from the change of day and night in the outside world, then
It is indeed possible that in the deep pit, his time flow rate is different from that in the outside world, but how can we explain the same situation to Aqing and the others?
You must know that after he left the ascending Changjun City, Aqing had just rolled down to the bottom of the pit. Unless she was on the way down, she and Wang Linghuan also experienced the experience of falling upside down into the ascending city. But just now they were walking all the way
Come, Xi Huan asked intentionally, and both women gave the answer that they were definitely not in the same situation.
Bai Yuekui saw his frowning expression and guided him: "During the day when I was guarding the city as promised, the aura of the melee in the Reed Plains that day came out twice from the deep pit outside the city. The first
One time, when you first entered the pit, that breath was exactly the same as your breath after you turned into a ghost that night."
The girl's words were like a spark falling on the withered wilderness in late autumn, instantly awakening the young man. Xi Huan raised his head and looked at Bai Yuokui, asking eagerly: "What about the second time?"
Bai Yuekui said slowly: "The second time was in the early morning of this morning and lasted until late at night. Different from the first breath, this time there were two."
Xi Huan couldn't believe it, but still didn't dare to tell the answer himself.
The girl in white said bluntly: "One of these two auras is exactly the same as the first one before. The other one is also very familiar. It comes from the Ascension to Feather Realm master of Honghu Mountain Temple and the Nahai aura of the Honghu Ancestor."
It felt like a huge boulder fell from his heart, hitting the deep pool and causing thousands of waves. Xi Huan put his support on A Qing's shoulders and said to the demon girl with the same shocked expression: "We were finally at the bottom of the pit, and were killed by that golden pupil.
, I scanned it for a whole day and a night..."
Ah Qing also felt scared in her heart, her legs almost weakened and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xihuan held her up with his hands. The demon girl almost cried and said: "Master, 'it' was really ready to eat it at that time.
My concubine!"
However, Bai Yuekui's shock to them was not over yet. When the girl in white saw the two people's frightened looks, the suffocation in her heart suddenly decreased a lot, and her tone was slightly relaxed: "But now I discovered the third breath, a fundamental breath.
It's not really the aura of a monk. It's strange. If it's mixed with the first two, it's colorless and odorless and can't be detected at all. But now that it's quiet, it's so clean that it's too normal."
"Which one?" The young man wondered. Could it be that a third person disappeared in the reed field that night?
"Take off the blindfold," the girl said.
"Um?"
"Pick it off and show it to me!" Bai Yuekui said in a serious tone.
Under the young man's hesitant hands, the piece of cloth was slowly peeled off, revealing a pair of closed eyes.
"Open your eyes, yes, that's what it came from."
As his eyes slowly opened, the black flesh in Xi Huan's originally empty eye sockets was gone, replaced by a pair of dark golden eyes with vertical golden pupils. The demon girl next to him took a look and fell down this time.
On the ground, he looked in horror at the pair of golden eyes that were exactly the same as those at the bottom of the pit, and cried out "Wow"
