Two rays of light fell silently in the mountain forest, revealing two handsome, handsome, and extraordinary young warriors, none other than Wu Ming and Qingzhu.
"Owner!"
A strange warrior wearing a black robe and an armor on his head, who was extremely tall and as thin as a bamboo pole came close to him and bowed to salute.
Although his aura and appearance were concealed, it could still be seen at a glance that he was Mu Yang, one of the five ghosts.
Seeing this person, Qingzhu Jian frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that this person had too much yin energy. Even though he was Wu Ming's subordinate, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
This is related to the inheritance of his practice. Even though most of them come from drunkards, this ghost is not that ghost.
"Any clues!"
Wu Ming naturally noticed something strange about Qingzhu, but since they were meeting openly, there was nothing to hide.
At least, Yin Xuanzhong, who escaped, knew that he had subdued the five ghosts with the Blood Book Spiritual Contract, and Qingzhu also knew about the existence of the members of the Dao for Heaven, and even knew that these people were controlled by the Blood Book Spiritual Contract.
You can tell the difference in how Wu Ming is called by the Five Ghosts and the rest of the tribe. The former calls him 'Master', while the latter calls him Lord!
In fact, in Wu Ming's eyes, the Five Ghosts are death warriors, disposable consumables used to complete the most dangerous tasks and can be discarded at any time.
It sounds cruel, but in fact the lives of the five ghosts in the hands of the five ghosts are at least tens of thousands, and there is no humanity at all.
The reason why they succumbed to Wu Ming was not only because they were controlled by the blood book spirit contract to control life and death, but also because Wu Ming said, "people of the same kind", they can survive as long as they think they are worthy.
You can even get huge benefits from the identity and background of this 'Feng Shao'.
"Returning to the master, we discovered the whereabouts of several forces. We followed your orders and did not take action. We only secretly monitored and used the technique of soul control to confuse a few loose cultivators in the mountains and confirm that these people are indeed in various villages and towns here. Check and search for a person."
Mu Yang bowed his head respectfully and finished speaking concisely. Finally, he added as if he remembered something, "We are looking for two people, a woman with a three-year-old girl!"
"A woman with children?"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows and turned to Qingzhu with a strange expression.
Qingzhu also looked puzzled and shook his head.
In his impression, although Hong Lian suffered a brutal and inhumane experience in her early years, the disciples and soldiers of Prince Wu's Mansion could all see that her heart was with Wu Ming.
However, due to her identity and experience, she felt extremely inferior, so she silently guarded this friendship and followed Wu Ming as a maid without any complaints.
Among the disciples of Prince Wu's palace, some people felt sorry for her experience, some regarded her as a eldest sister, and some loved her, but most of them were afraid.
Her early experiences made this woman extreme and ruthless. This can be seen from the fact that in her early years after Wu Ming was imprisoned, she even poisoned the whole family of court officials and the prince.
Of course, you don’t have to worry too much about your family!
But she never thought that she would bring the child with her. Was it her own or one she picked up on the road?
Qingzhu was puzzled, it was too incredible!
With Guren's character, she is thankful that she didn't become a femme fatale who tortured and killed children!
"Master, this is the portrait of that woman, and these people are very secretive in their actions. Even those guys who look like casual cultivators are secret agents from several nearby famous families or sects!"
Muyang opened a scroll of calligraphy and painting.
As you can see, this is a picture of a lady. The woman in the picture is dressed in red. It seems to me that I feel pity for it, but in fact it reveals a strange and evil charm. This woman's temperament is vividly expressed. It is obviously made by everyone.
"It's Sister Honglian!"
Qingzhu Road.
"Okay, okay!"
Wu Ming stroked his palm and chuckled, causing Qingzhu to look strange for a while, and couldn't help but chuckled, "What?"
"Sister Honglian versus eldest brother..."
Qingzhu was a little embarrassed. He was no longer the young boy he used to be. Naturally, he knew that outsiders did not comment favorably on matters between men and women. He was even more in awe of Wu Ming, treating him as a father and brother, and he did not dare to make any mistakes!
Fortunately, as someone who is as familiar with Wu Ming as him, he knew that Wu Ming was not sneering, but with a sense of relief.
"Ha ha!"
Wu Ming laughed and shook his head, smiling endlessly, "Hong Lian has an extreme personality. Being able to take care of a child like this gives me sustenance in my heart, and I won't easily step into the devil's path!"
"Brother is wise!"
Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"You boy!"
Wu Ming pointed with a smile and ordered, "Inform them to find out the origins of these people and keep a close eye on them. Furthermore, if you find this girl's whereabouts, don't rush to take action. Also, make sure nothing happens to the child.
Otherwise, come and see me!"
"Yes, Master, don't worry!"
Muyang looked stern, bowed, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"That's weird. With Hong Lian's temperament, why would he bring a drag bottle?"
Wu Ming rubbed his chin and murmured to himself.
"Didn't Big Brother just say that this is a good thing?"
Qingzhu couldn't help but said.
"A good thing is a good thing, but there's something strange about it!"
Wu Ming frowned slightly and said as he walked, "It stands to reason that Baihua Palace has enough power to find her, but it has not found her for three years, and the fate card in my hand cannot locate her. Furthermore, after three years, it is difficult to find her."
She disappeared before and took a three or four year old child with her..."
"It's impossible to show its specific location at such a close distance. It's really weird, unless..."
Qingzhu also looked suspicious.
"Unless her cultivation is no longer there, or... the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Hua Ji is abolished!"
Wu Ming's eyes gradually became cold, and there was another possibility that he didn't mention, that is, it was both.
Otherwise, with Honglian's ability, why would he be hiding in the countryside, even if he had a child, he would have flown far away!
This also shows from the side that hiding here is not just because of the darkness under the lamp!
The two of them walked in the forest, not in a hurry to look for them. Anyway, there were five ghosts watching secretly, and they would hear each other's movements at any time.
You need to find someone who is dedicated to hiding, and in a village, even hiding from two people is of little use.
It is conceivable that if Honglian had not brought a child, he would have been able to hide it better.
Wu Ming is very sure about this, after all, he taught him step by step!
Until the moon was dim, the sun was three high, and another night passed, the two followed the guidance left by the five ghosts, trekking through mountains and rivers, through forests and towns.
By now, the two of them were basically certain that there were indeed several forces secretly staying behind, setting up a dragnet within hundreds of miles, and conducting detailed investigations into the surrounding villages and towns.
Moreover, they seem to be worried about something, otherwise the power of these people would be enough to complete the investigation in half a day, instead of just relying on the power of the government to act openly!
Whoosh!
Waiting until noon, several strong men escaped into the air, without concealing their whereabouts, and headed straight in one direction.
At the same time, news came from the Five Ghosts.
"Let's go!"
Wu Ming stepped out expressionlessly. In mid-air, a treasure ship docked silently. The two of them fell on it, and even reached the place shown by the five ghosts before these people.
Not long after, the treasure ship stopped over a small town. Judging from the size, it was only five or six miles in radius. At most, it was a town with a famous garrison.
"No!"
Qingzhu's spiritual consciousness swept out and easily incorporated the general situation of the town into the sea of consciousness, but even after scanning every corner, Honglian was not found.
"Isn't that what it is?"
Wu Ming pointed to a place, and although he asked rhetorically, his tone was quite affirmative.
"This...is this Sister Honglian?"
Qingzhu subconsciously followed his eyes, but with his consciousness, as far as he could see, he saw a washerwoman in her forties, with a head full of withered hair, a stooped and thin figure, and a fairly savvy girl.
Everything was completely unrelated to Hong Lian in his impression, so that even an acquaintance like him didn't recognize it.
In fact, Wu Ming didn't recognize her at first sight, but the many policemen, government officials, and even warriors who were approaching the woman and hiding in the dark were enough to point out the direction.
In addition, he never judged people only by their breath, but by their eyes. After a short inspection, he recognized that this woman was Honglian.
But what made him feel quite strange was that when he saw her, his heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.
Wu Ming was very sure that this was not the love between a man and a woman, nor the excitement of meeting again after a long separation, but a kind of throbbing that transcended whims and came from the blood.
It's a pity that this throbbing came so suddenly and disappeared so abruptly that it disappeared without a trace before I could feel it clearly.
"Is it really an illusion?"
Wu Ming subconsciously believed that it was because of all the things Hong Lian suffered that made him so angry.
But his family knows his own affairs, and with his strong will, it is extremely difficult for this situation to happen, not even for Hong Lian.
"They're going to take action!"
Qingzhu whispered.
Taking advantage of the powerful invisibility of the Void Wave Breaker, the two of them were above the town and easily had a panoramic view of everything. Dozens of officials could be seen. After receiving the instructions, the government officials quickly gathered towards the woman's location.
Among the warriors hiding in the dark, several of them had cold expressions, and even looked around nervously, as if they were worried about some savage beast suddenly appearing.
It was not until dozens of government officials surrounded the woman, and no accident occurred, that they felt vaguely relieved.
To everyone's surprise, the woman who looked like an ordinary washerwoman in a farm house, except for the initial nervous panic, actually put away all her panic and fear when she saw the government officials' actions with no room for change.
Looking from a distance, the woman and her child looked like little white sheep being chased by a pack of wolves. When they had nowhere to escape, they turned around and ran back.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, this thin and panting woman, who seemed to be dying soon, unexpectedly rushed towards the well with a speed beyond imagination, holding the baby girl who had never cried before, without hesitation.
It was so sudden and unexpected that all the government officials were shocked. Even the usually aloof warriors were stunned on the spot by the shock.
No one thought that this woman was so strong-willed that she would choose such a decisive path!
Fortunately, it was some distance away from the well, giving those present time to react.
"snort!"
A cold snort of shock and anger sounded like thunder, and a pitiful howl resounded from a hundred feet away. However, a young man with a cold expression flew out of the attic not far away. With a palm in the air, his true energy turned into a big hand of tens of feet and struck two people.
People grab hold of it and drop it. (To be continued)
