Chapter 369 is destined to be lonely for a lifetime
Although Nangong Ling and Shisanniang's search plan sounded seamless, Zhong Wen still felt a headache when it came to the actual operation stage.
Just because the border between the Daqian Empire and the Land of Chaos in Xiqi Province is extremely long, even if Zhong Wen has been promoted to Spirit Master, it is still far from enough to cover the entire border with his powerful perception.
At this time, he could clearly see the chaotic land across the border, but he was not sure whether Zhu Cong and Ning Jie would come in this direction.
Even if Zhu Cong really chooses the land of chaos, Zhong Wen has no way of knowing how his journey is progressing, whether he has not arrived yet or has crossed the border.
If Sister Nangong and Sister Shisanniang were here, they would definitely be able to identify some clues.
Realizing that his IQ, which he had always been proud of, was a bit lacking, he suddenly felt discouraged and depressed.
Forget it, I'm already so handsome. If I were smarter, how would other men survive?
Consoling himself like this, he slowly landed in the leafy and lush woods below, intending to pick some fruits to quench his thirst and replenish his moisture.
As soon as his body landed on a tree, countless birds flew around.
Zhong Wen stretched out his hand to pick a fruit, stretched out his limbs, lay on a thick branch, wiped the surface of the fruit peel with his sleeve, then opened his mouth and bit into it with an "aww".
His mouth was instantly filled with sweet pulp and cool juice. Zhong Wen felt refreshed and his depressed mood was instantly relieved.
After a while, seeing him lying motionless and posing no threat, the birds on the trees next to him returned to their seats one after another and started chirping again.
"This two-legged beast is so strange. It has no wings, but it can fly in the sky?" I heard one bird saying to another.
"These two-legged beasts are so nasty that many of my friends have been captured by them." Another little bird said, "It's better to be careful and don't get too close to them."
"What are you afraid of? Twolegs can't fly." A little bird said before.
"I'm afraid your brain is not very good..." The other bird said speechlessly, "I just said it could fly..."
"I'm talking about the other two-legged beasts." The previous bird defended, "I have seen a lot of two-legged beasts, and this is the only one that can fly. Maybe it is our kind, but it looks a bit similar. Twolegs."
"How can there be any of the same kind that looks like this?" Another little bird said disapprovingly, "It's big and ugly. It will definitely not find a mate. It is doomed to be alone for a lifetime and have no descendants."
Zhong Wen: “…..”
Didn’t I just eat a piece of fruit and provoke you?
He even cursed me to have no descendants!
"Isn't it too much for you to say that to me?" He finally couldn't hold it back and planned to argue with the little bird.
"It, was it talking to me just now?" The poisonous little bird didn't expect that Zhong Wen would suddenly talk to it. It couldn't help being startled, spread its wings again and flew into the sky, asking hesitantly. .
"Yes, it is talking." Another little bird said proudly, "Look, what I said is right. It is indeed the same kind as us, but it looks a little weird."
"Yes, I'm sorry." The poisonous bird said in shame, "I didn't mean to say bad things about you, I thought you were a two-legged beast."
"Forget it, forget it, it's not your fault." Zhong Wen rolled his eyes and said nonsensically, "Actually, my father is the same kind as you, and my mother is a two-legged beast, so although I can fly, I am long.
It’s like this.”
"Oh!" Not only these two little birds, but also other birds around them couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this. Then you and I asked each other about the love of Zhong Wen's "parents".
Gossip.
As for how the bird and the two-horned beast overcome the size gap and give birth to the next generation, not a single bird questioned it.
"By the way, I wonder if you have seen any other two-legged beasts around these days?" After rambling for a while, Zhong Wen suddenly had an idea and asked to a group of birds, "I'm looking for two-legged beasts.
Beasts, one male and one female."
"We can't tell which Twolegs are male and which are female," answered a little bird.
"Okay then, regardless of male or female, as long as it is a two-headed two-legged beast... No, as long as there is a two-legged beast passing through." Zhong Wen retreated and asked for the next best thing, "Has anyone passed by this generation in the past few days?
"
"No!" all the birds replied in unison.
When Zhong Wen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt that his problem was too limited and full of loopholes.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly took out a pot of "high-end pet food" originally prepared for the bald eagle from the ring.
Just when the basin of feed appeared, the originally noisy forest suddenly fell silent. The birds surrounding Zhong Wen stretched their necks one by one, staring at the basin in his hand, with longing shining in their eyes.
of light.
Seeing this, Zhong Wen smiled slightly and said to the birds, "It's our first time meeting you. I'll treat you all to something good."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to crush the feed balls and scattered them into the air.
At the moment when the feed pellets were fluttering in the wind, countless birds jumped out from the trees and went straight to the debris in the sky. As if they had not eaten for many days, they opened their mouths and swallowed everything.
I was happy and excited, but those who missed it were dejected one by one.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Zhong Wen smiled and sprinkled a handful of feed again, "It's all there, it's all there."
The second wave of feed crumbs once again caused competition. More and more birds rushed out of the forest. It was not known where they were hiding before. Zhong Wen was amazed by the sight.
It turns out you are all diving.
He laughed secretly in his heart, but his hands did not stop, and he kept sprinkling the feed in the basin into the sky.
This excitement lasted for nearly a moment before it stopped, because all the feed in Zhong Wen's basin was finally empty.
"Is there anything else? Is there anything else?"
Countless birds surrounded Zhong Wen, whether they had grabbed the feed or not, they all chirped and urged him non-stop.
"Yes, yes, but I can't give it to you for free." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhong Wen showed a naughty smile, "If you still want something delicious, you have to do me a favor..."
…
On the official road of Xiqi Province, a unicorn carriage was heading southwest at full speed.
The driver, wearing a bamboo hat and a yellow shirt, manipulated the reins flexibly, skillfully stimulating the horse's speed to the extreme.
"Xu~"
On the right side of the road, a forest gradually appeared in the driver's sight. He shouted, stopped the carriage, and instantly jumped into the woods. His body turned into a yellow shadow, and he was extremely fast.
When he reappeared, the driver was already holding several fruits in his hands, which were obviously picked from the woods.
He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain in front of the carriage, and a white silhouette of a woman suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The woman was in her early twenties, with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, icy muscles and jade bones. She did not put any makeup on her face, but she was still stunningly beautiful. Her whole body exuded a strong bookish air, and she exuded an elegant and graceful atmosphere amidst her tenderness and charm.
At this time, the woman's long gown, as white as snow, was wrapped with circles of black soul-binding ropes. The already exquisite curves were tightly bound by the ropes, making them even more uneven. The contrast with her simple and elegant temperament was strong.
A fatal temptation formed.
"Miss Ning, are you thirsty?" The coachman took off his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome face with a cunning light in his eyes. He turned out to be Zhu Cong, a theological scholar from Qixing Pavilion, "Little Zhuge".
The woman in white in the carriage is naturally Ning Jie, who was knocked unconscious by Zhu Cong and kidnapped.
"No need." Ning Jie flatly refused.
"Are you still angry with me?" Zhu Cong's burning gaze swept across Ning Jie's proud figure and said softly, "As a brother, I have some unavoidable difficulties. Please forgive me, Miss Ning."
"I wonder where Brother Zhu is going to take my little sister?" Ning Jie could not hear much emotion in her voice.
"Zhu intends to find a hidden place in the chaotic land and ask Miss Ning to help decipher the "Tianyan Jue"." Zhu Cong's eyes flashed, "Once the classics are completely translated, Zhu will send Miss Ning back to the academy.
"
"Brother Zhu's words may not be true." Although Ning Jie is obsessed with ancient sacred texts, she is not stupid. She instantly heard that Zhu Cong's words were not sincere, "You used medicine to kidnap the little girl to the chaotic place. At this time
Grandpa must have discovered it. Once he finds you, he will punish you severely and even take your life. How can Brother Zhu honestly send my little sister back to the academy?"
"This..." Zhu Cong was speechless for a moment.
"Brother Zhu chose to go to the Land of Chaos instead of returning to Qixing Pavilion, wasn't it just to avoid Grandpa's search?" Ning Jie continued.
"Miss Ning, the master handed over the "Tian Yan Jue" to two brothers and sisters at the same time, saying that whoever cracks the book first will get the inheritance rights of the "Divine Calculation Hall"." Zhu Cong's brain was running rapidly, and he was talking. Continuously weaving reasons, "Although Zhu's attainments in theological literature are slightly better than those of his senior brothers, my senior brother Ma Liang has some friendship with the disciples of the 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage'. If someone from the 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage' helps, it will be difficult for Zhu to win. In order to 'God's fortune teller', Zhu was forced to take this step."
"As long as Miss Ning is willing to put down other things and fully help Zhu to translate the book." He paused and then continued, "At that time, Zhu will first return to Qixing Pavilion and win the 'Divine Calculation Hall', and then send Miss Ning to I sent him back to the Wendao Academy without any damage, and personally apologized to Old Master Ning and offered him a large sum of compensation. If I see that Miss Ning is safe and sound, maybe Old Master Ning will let me go because of Zhu's sincerity."
"The passage from the Daqian Empire to the Chi Clan must have been guarded by people from the academy, so how are you going to return to the Seven Star Pavilion?" Ning Jie shook her head repeatedly, "If you want to take a detour from the chaotic land, I don't know when or what month you can do it. When we arrive, your Senior Brother Ma may have already passed the test by then, and this plan is full of loopholes."
"Zhu was in a hurry at the time and didn't think too much about it." Zhu Cong showed a wry smile on his face, "We can only worry about these details after we decipher the exercises."
Seeing that Ning Jie was unwilling to eat, he stopped trying to persuade her. He closed the curtain, turned around, shook the reins, and drove the carriage back on the road.
Yes, I just want to send you back, Old Master Ning will never let me go.
But if it was his grandson-in-law who returned, that would not necessarily be the case.
The moment he turned around, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Cong's face.
At the moment the carriage started to move, several birds flew out of the woods on the right, emitting sweet bird songs.
Two of the birds fluttered their wings and landed on the carriage of the carriage. After staying for a while, they spread their wings again and flew away to the west together with the other birds.
Zhu Cong was so immersed in his own planning that he didn't notice the actions of these little birds at all. He still drove the carriage skillfully towards the Xiqi border, which was getting closer and closer.
