Thinking that Ning Xi might cause some damage, I shouted directly at the camp, waking everyone up from their sleep.
After everyone came out of the tent and gathered around me, they asked me what was wrong and what the ghost was called in the middle of the night.
I took out the note left by Ning Xi and showed it to everyone, and then explained the analysis in my mind just now.
After listening to what I said, Zhang Rui also said slowly: "Indeed, Ning Xi is not a stingy person in normal times. Her behavior today is indeed a bit abnormal. Maybe there is really some deceit in it!"
As he spoke, Zhang Rui cast his gaze into the depths of the sycamore forest.
Tang Qing pondered for a while and then said: "Ning Xi and I are not very familiar, but she has a good background. There is nothing behind her and this 'Phoenix Returning to the Nest' thing. There is no need for her to be there."
There is no conspiracy in this matter, she seems to have no motive."
Zhang Rui smiled and said: "This is the place where the real phoenix returns to its nest. What if Ning Xi has the idea of the real phoenix?"
Tang Qing hesitated and said: "Probably not, she doesn't have the courage, you know, the Xiao family is responsible for guarding this place, but Lord Shengzun arranged it himself. I heard that the real phoenix has a deep relationship with Lord Shengzun
, if you are targeting the real phoenix, you are targeting the holy master, let alone Ning Xi, even the forces behind her don’t have the courage, right?"
Is Shengzun related to Zhenhuang? Is he Li Dihuang's father?
I asked Tang Qing if it was him, and she nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Lord Five Ghosts!"
Five Ghost Saints?
I was about to ask some questions in detail, but Tang Qing refused to continue. He brought the topic back to Ning Xi and said: "It is useless for us to discuss it here. The top priority is to go into the Wutong Forest.
Bring Ning Xi back, no matter whether she does it intentionally or not, we can't let her act recklessly here."
I nodded and said, yes.
Then I asked everyone to simply pack up and go into the forest. As for the tent, we didn't have time to pack it up.
Traveling lightly this time, our speed was much faster, but the sycamore forest was huge. Fortunately, the snow on the ground was still there, and we could vaguely see the footprints left by Ning Xi.
She indeed went deep into the sycamore forest.
After chasing into the forest for a while, we arrived under a sycamore tree. We found that Ning Xi's footprints on the ground suddenly disappeared. I subconsciously took a flashlight and shined a light on the sycamore tree above my head, and found that there was nothing but snow on the tree.
There is nothing left.
At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind, and a few pieces of snow fell from the branches of the sycamore tree, falling right into my neck. I felt a chill and made my skin crawl.
I jumped on the ground a few times and took out the unfinished snow from my neck.
Seeing my action, Mai Xiaorou, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing couldn't help but laugh.
I was a little embarrassed, so after throwing away the snow, I said: "Ning Xi's footprints suddenly disappeared in front of this tree. Could it be that she climbed up the tree and then crossed the branches like a monkey and walked forward from the tree?"
"
Zhang Rui thought for a moment and said: "With Ning Xi's ability, she can really do this. If she really does this, she is deliberately concealing her traces and does not want us to find her. Then what conspiracy is she playing?
The possibility is even greater.”
My heart is full of curiosity. I have seen Li Guidao's ability. The time he beat Yang Zhi away, he flew to me and Mai Xiaorou. Could it be that Ning Xi can also fly?
What kind of cultivation can use this skill?
I was thinking about this, but I didn't get too distracted, so I continued to ask: "Is there any way to confirm Ning Xi's whereabouts so that we can find her?"
Tang Qing said: "Let's go directly to the Phoenix Nest to have a look. If her purpose is really the real Phoenix, then she will definitely go to the Phoenix Nest."
I nodded, and Zhang Rui and Tang Qing led the way. Both of them seemed to know the location of the Phoenix Nest.
The two of them walked in front, and Mai Xiaorou and I followed behind. Mai Xiaorou deliberately pulled my arm to slow me down. After a certain distance between us, Mai Xiaorou whispered to
I said, "I don't think there's something right about this."
I asked Mai Xiaorou if she had discovered anything.
She said: "There is also a powerful formation here. When you walk forward, pay attention to your feet and behind you, and look carefully!"
I did what Mai Xiaorou said, and found that the two of us had actually been walking in the same place, and the footprints left behind us in the snow did not increase anymore.
But even so, the distance between us and Tang Qing and Zhang Rui gradually widened, but we didn't move. Why is this?
I looked up and looked around. The plane trees seemed to be moving, and they were slowly retreating.
No, it’s not the plane trees that are retreating, but the snow on the ground that is carrying us forward.
The faster we walk in place, the faster the snow carries us forward, and the snow also stops when we stop.
But Zhang Rui and Tang Qing didn't seem to notice such a strange thing. They walked further and further ahead, probably feeling that the distance between them and Mai Xiaorou was getting longer, so they looked back.
I thought they would say hello to us, but unexpectedly, they smiled behind them and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Daoist Mai, don't get left behind. There are twists and turns here, and it's easy to get lost."
."
I suddenly realized that they didn't seem to be talking to me, Mai Xiaorou, at all. We were now more than twenty meters away from them, but when they turned around, the position they took the flashlight to illuminate was four or five meters away.
Position, they seemed to be talking to the air at a position of four or five meters.
The scene was very strange.
I was just about to call out to remind Zhang Rui and Tang Qing, but they suddenly turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
They disappeared out of thin air!?
"Zhang Rui, Tang..."
My words stopped as soon as I spoke. I was completely dumbfounded. They were only twenty or thirty meters away from us, and I just watched them and the light of the flashlight disappear.
When Mai Xiaorou saw that I didn't shout out, she quickly called out the names of Zhang Rui and Tang Qing, but they didn't respond.
After a while, Mai Xiaorou said that it might be the mysterious formation here that caused us to be completely scattered.
I thought for a while and said: "I was wondering before. Since this is a place guarded by the Xiao family, why don't they arrange for people to guard it outside? It turns out that it is because of this big formation. But then again, if there is a big formation here,
If so, wouldn’t Zhang Rui and Tang Qing know about it? They are juniors with very high status in the North China Branch."
Mai Xiaojudao: "You are right. If that formation is a guardian formation, even if Zhang Rui and Tang Qing don't know how to break it, they will take precautions in advance and inform us. But judging from their performance just now,
From the looks of it, it seems that they were completely unaware of the existence of this formation and just walked in."
I asked Mai Xiaorou: "Aren't Zhang Rui and Tang Qing very powerful in Taoism? Neither of them discovered this formation. How did you discover it?"
Mai Xiaorou grabbed my arm tightly and said, "Because this formation seems to resonate with my corpse energy. The further I go inside, the more the corpse energy in my body becomes turbulent. I'm afraid that if I continue walking,
I can't control it..."
"Ah!" I couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly pulled Mai Xiaorou back. But when we stepped back, we were still standing still, but the snow would not carry us back.
We want to take a step back, but one foot falls and steps on the footprints where we stand. No matter how hard we try, we can't take that step.
What kind of formation is this? It’s so powerful.
Mai Xiaorou continued: "I think the formation seems to be directed at me. Chen Yu, hurry up and go forward to chase Zhang Rui and Tang Qing. If you stay with me, you will be in danger."
I shook my head and said: "Xiaorou, what are you talking about? Most of my life depends on you. Leaving you here means leaving my own life here. I don't worry about it!"
Mai Xiaorou smiled at me and said, "Okay then, let's think of a solution together."
I said to her: "How long has it been and you are still laughing? If this formation is really aimed at you, could it be done by Yang Zhi's group, or by Yang Zhi himself?"
Are you here?"
It has been some time since Li Guidao defeated Yang Zhi. Maybe Yang Zhi has really made a comeback?
While speculating on these things, I asked Mai Xiaorou if the corpse energy in her body had become more difficult to control.
She shook her head and said: "As long as we don't move, the corpse energy will not change. Now we can only stand here and think of a way."
I nodded.
But what good solution can we come up with!?
"Huhuhu..."
At this time, a strong wind suddenly came up, and the sycamore branches were blown wildly, and the snow chunks on the branches also fell one after another. The snow chunks and snow foam flew around in the strong wind, as if it was snowing again.
At this moment, a group of snow foam and snow cubes not far away from us suddenly entangled together, and after a while, a white snowman slowly appeared.
The snowman is a woman, tall and white, like a fairy descending from heaven, but she seems to be a snow sculpture, standing there motionless.
what 's wrong!?
How could a snow sculpture appear out of thin air? Could it be that this is a trick of confusion!?
I asked Mai Xiaorou if she had seen it too, and she nodded and said, "Yes."
The snowman seemed a little awkward. At this time, it slowly raised its right arm, and the index finger of its right hand pointed towards us.
Then the fingers on its right hand slowly grew longer, and then the fingers turned into a long arrow.
"Whoosh!"
The finger that turned into a long arrow suddenly fell off its right hand and flew towards us!
Mai Xiaorou let out a "hum" and suddenly raised her fist to blow out a burst of breath, directly hitting the snow arrow.
"Bang!"
The snow arrows directly turned into snow foam and scattered in the strong wind.
At this moment, I discovered that the snowman's eyes were slowly glowing with a faint blue light, and under the faint blue light, I could vaguely see the stars.
