"Galan City—"
He Zhizhou was really bored walking on the road, so he glanced at the power of attorney again, and asked from the bottom of his heart: "Is there really a city built at the bottom of a lake?"
His unreliable master has always been invisible, and his disciples have become helpless left-behind children.
The other elders couldn't bear it after seeing this, and they often helped out secretly and openly. This time, Tian Xianzi accepted the request to go down the mountain and asked him to follow him to see the world.
Obviously, when he sees He Zhizhou, he always has to say a few words, but in fact, among all Li Wangsheng's disciples, Tian Xianzi likes him the most. Textbook-level knife mouth tofu heart, nothing more than that.
At this time, he was walking in the woods with Ning Ning, Zheng Weiqi and Pei Ji. The unpruned trunks were densely packed, casting shadows.
Ning Ning played with the sword spike in his hand, and answered rather playfully: "It seems that the entire city was submerged by floods three hundred years ago."
She thought about it for a while, then said, "What I'm more concerned about is a barren ancient city at the bottom of a lake. Why can ordinary people breathe freely after entering?"
According to the rules of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, after the disciples enter the Golden Core Stage, they are allowed to go down the mountain to practice and subdue demons.
Now that the Demon Race has disappeared, there are still many monsters who are causing harm to the world. They are either swaggeringly acting indiscriminately, or they live in a corner to recuperate, and occasionally make some moths, which makes people really uneasy.
For example, the city of Garan that they are about to enter.
The city of Garan sank into the water a hundred years ago, and has since disappeared, nowhere to be found.
A few days ago, a woodcutter passed by and fell into a lake. He thought he would die just like that, but after falling into the icy lake for a while, his body suddenly lightened, and he no longer felt like he was wrapped in water—
It turned out that under the lake, there was an ancient city standing out of thin air.
An invisible barrier separates the ancient city from the lake, making the city no different from the land. Even if he is at the bottom of the lake, he can breathe freely and unimpeded.
The woodcutter was shocked, and under the combined fear, he burst into a flying desire to survive, and while he still had a small part of his body left in the lake, he hurriedly used his hands and feet to swim back.
After others fell into the water, they all tried their best to escape the water, and he was probably the first to run into the water with such a ghastly face.
All in all, the woodcutter dog finally came ashore and described the incredible experience to his wife and children after returning home.
However, before the story spread among the neighbors, something even more bizarre happened.
- The people in the city became extremely abnormal one after another, like walking dead that couldn't think, and couldn't do anything except attack other people indiscriminately.
Please come to the Taoist priest to take a look, only to find that the three souls have lost seven souls, and the primordial spirit has been secretly stolen away at some point.
"There must be a monster hiding under the water."
Zheng Weiqi calmly analyzed: "It won't be discovered, and you can go to the city outside the forest to eat people's souls at any time. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
He Zhizhou nodded, blowing the rainbow fart wildly: "As expected of Senior Sister! I heard that Senior Sister Zheng has been descending demons in the mountains all year round, and she must have accumulated a lot of experience."
Zheng Weiqi glanced at him lightly.
She belongs to the type with strong bones and natural beauty, and her eyes are as elegant as a distant mountain. Now that he wears men's clothes, he is even more sassy and heroic, so clear that one can't take his eyes off.
However, in the next moment, the beauty whispered: "Damn. If it wasn't to avoid the schoolwork, who would want to leave the teacher's door and run around. Kao Kao, test his mother all day long! As soon as I saw those The elder has a big head, is it my problem to sleep in class!"
... A good girl, why did she open her mouth
Zheng Weiqi is a student scum, or the kind of scum who doesn't even have a shred of ash left, equivalent to a middle-aged and elderly college student who has been defeated and defeated repeatedly for several years.
This epic spirit resonated with He Zhizhou, who was also a scumbag. After listening to it, he sighed solemnly: "It's definitely not our problem! As we all know, the reason why you are so sleepy while studying is because the school is where the dream begins."
"Brilliant!"
Ning Ning nodded: "One period is longer than six, and the remaining battery can last a whole day. All the children who have been there are crying."
Zheng Weiqi felt the same: "A person's carnival, a group of people's loneliness."
He Zhizhou took the formation in a tacit understanding: "Give me a dream, and also give me a quick wake-up. As soon as I close my eyes and open my eyes, a day will pass."
Seeing that the well-behaved demon slayer entrusted to become the exchange conference of scumbags, Pei Ji looked at the group of people beside him expressionlessly, and pursed his lips subconsciously.
Then, caught off guard, Ning Ning's eyes moved slightly, and his throat moved slightly.
"What are you nervous about?"
Ning Ning smiled: "I won't make it difficult for junior brother to answer. I heard that you used to be the best in the school."
The original owner and Pei Ji entered the division in the same year, but the inner and outer disciples did not attend classes together. The reason why he knew his grades was good was because he mentioned a few sentences in the novel.
The number of people outside the door is huge, and there are three religions from all over the world. It is not easy for Pei Ji to be the first in the written test every year among so many people.
He was stunned when he heard the words, looked away slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled in the sunlight, covering up the gloom in his eyes: "It's not as good as Junior Sister."
Cheng Ying began to babble again: "How did she know your grades back then? No, Ning Ning has been paying attention since then—"
Pei Ji felt a little restless: "Quiet."
However, Chengying ignored him at all. Hearing that, it was like an 80-year-old father who finally saw his daughter get married. He smiled and said, "Don't be shy, let's talk about it."
"Little Junior Brother is so powerful!"
Zheng Weiqi's eyes lit up, and her words were astonishing: "Junior brother, saving a life is worse than building a seventh-level pagoda! You don't know, Senior Sister, I broke my head when I was young, and half of my head stopped growing, this stunted little brain. I really can't accommodate the mountains of books and the sea of questions, why don't you—"
The more she talked, the more excited she became, and the smile on her face deepened: "Why don't you pretend to be a woman and answer the question for me! Seeing the younger brother Chen Yuluoyan closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, it's definitely not a problem to deceive those old antiques!"
He Zhizhou was drinking water when he was tired, but when she heard half of it, she sprayed it out. When she finished the last paragraph, she choked all the water in her throat and kept coughing.
Ning Ning gave him a sympathetic look, and before she could speak, she heard Zheng Weiqi shout, "We're here!"
When I looked up again, I saw an incomparably wide lake.
This lake is called "Tianhe", and it is said that even if Yujian is flying in the distant mid-air, he can still see its shadow when he bows his head. The lake is extremely clear and wide, and in the daytime, it looks like a deep crack embedded in the sky.
All around are calm and calm, and there are few ripples on the lake, looking like a huge circular mirror. The sun fell into the water and shattered into tiny bits of silver-white shimmer, swaying around like a constantly changing spirit.
Just looking at this scene, it is absolutely impossible to imagine the dark tide under the lake and the ghosts of the ancient city.
Zheng Weiqi, as the senior sister with the highest rank, naturally assumed the responsibility of command: "Pinch a trick to avoid water, let's go into the water together."
Everyone followed suit, Ning Ning's expression remained unchanged, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.
Having read the original book, she naturally understands what happens underwater.
Zheng Weiqi guessed most of them right, there are indeed monsters living underwater, but not one, but a group.
Jialan City used to be the place where the demon clan came together. Due to the raging flood, the reason why it was able to form a barrier under the water was that the young city owner at that time used his whole body to cultivate and protected the entire city-state with spiritual energy.
Later, the young city lord passed out from exhaustion. Affected by the collision of spiritual power, the monsters in the city also fell into a deep sleep. In recent years, he gradually woke up, so he wanted to find a way to wake him up.
This method, naturally, is to capture the souls of the human beings in the city and support the growth of spiritual power.
Exploring the ancient city of the demon clan and preventing the snatch of the spirits may sound unremarkable at first, but it does not seem to be such a difficult task.
However, Ning Ning knew that this commission was not destined to be simple.
After doing a good job of avoiding water, the four of them went down to Tianhe Lake.
The Water Avoidance Technique can form a transparent bubble in the water, wrapping the monk's body in it, so the clothes will not get wet, and easy breathing can be performed.
The underwater scene is blue and clear, the waves and swimming fish are very close to the side, the sun and shadow are falling, the wind is on the water, there is silence up and down, left and right, and the soles of the feet are dark pools.
Like the gloomy, empty eyes of a giant beast.
Suddenly, Zheng Weiqi's voice transmission sounded in the ear, which was different from the calm and indifferent tone before, full of panic and surprise: "No, what came up from the bottom of the lake... is it a whirlpool?!"
The scene was really not so beautiful, Ning Ning only dared to glance down and take a quick glance.
It seemed like a giant beast on the soles of his feet had been dormant for a long time, and finally he couldn't wait to open his eyes. The water foam gathered into a circle of snow-white circles, and they were attacking them with lightning speed.
A low roar sounded in his ears, and Ning Ning clenched the star-marked sword at his waist.
This commission is not destined to be simple.
Because they will be forcibly dispersed by the whirlpool from the beginning, and then they have to face the killing intent of the entire city with the power of loneliness.
=====
Thanks to the spiritual qi to protect the body and avoid the water to protect his life, Ning Ning would not drown or be stunned by the huge waves.
The whirlpool was coming towards the tide, but it accelerated her speed to reach the bottom of the lake. After a long time, she came to the vast barrier that shrouded the city.
This formation has also applied a blindfold method. If you just observe in the water, you will not see the slightest shadow of Garan City. Only by coming to the barrier in person can you get a glimpse of the old city hidden in the lake.
After passing through the barrier, the air bubbles surrounding him burst.
At the same time, the ancient city of Garan, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, finally slowly lifted the veil of mystery.
It is difficult to see the shadow of the sun at the bottom of the lake. The barrier itself seems to replace the role of sunlight, exuding a lustrous white luster. The water mist filled the air, the waves were overflowing, and the shimmering water above the barrier covered the streets and houses, like thousands of broken glass jade, suddenly like a dream, I don't know what day it will be.
There are many buildings in the ancient city, and the ever-bright lights embellish the dazzling long river like the stars. The sky is the color of the water, the blue tiles and white walls, the trees by the street have stopped growing, withered into rickety branches, and the dark shadows are reflected on the walls, reminding her of the jagged knuckles.
The formation has a certain buffering effect. When Ningning slowly landed, the toes collided with the ground without making any slight sound.
The original book described the experience of the protagonist Pei Ji, but she did not focus on the others. She raised her head while being alert to the crises lurking in the dark, admiring the scene in the city of Garan with a little surprise.
Everything maintains the style of a hundred years ago, and no one is seen around, like a ghost town that no one has ever set foot on. Ning Ning looked around, unprepared, and suddenly heard a shrill cry for help: "Help! Young Master!"
- son
The voice was not calling her, it was most likely one of the two men who came with her. Pei Ji should not have bumped into her in the early stage, so it could only be—
Ning Ning's heart moved, and she walked towards the female voice. Sure enough, she saw the familiar figure of He Zhizhou not far away.
He seemed to be fascinated by the world of Huahua, and there was still a look of surprise in his eyes, and in a place very close to the young man, there were two people they had never met.
The woman who asked for help was very charming, and was held in front of her by a man, holding a knife to her neck. She cried until the pear blossoms brought rain, which can be described as miserable, crying and shouting, "Young Master, save me!"
The middle-aged man behind her was fierce, with empty eyes like two inferior black stones.
He acted clumsily, seemed to have only a small part of his sanity left, and spoke vaguely, making it difficult to discern the content: "Don't… come here! Or I, I will kill her!"
This kind of situation made Ning Ning immediately think of the person who was sucked in the soul in the nearby city.
Confused, murderous, and highly aggressive towards anyone, but...
He Zhizhou obviously had never encountered such a thing, just relying on the negotiating expert's routine he had seen in the TV series, he tried to persuade him with good words: "Calm down brother! Think about your father and mother in your family, if you do something stupid, them-"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound transmission in his ear: "Don't believe them, it's fake."
Turning his head in surprise, he saw Ning Ning.
She was wearing a long white dress, and the star-scarred sword around her waist was faintly glowing. The star-moon-like light on the barrier reflected the water waves and fell on the delicate face of the girl.
"That woman doesn't feel the slightest spiritual energy, so she shouldn't be a cultivator. Since she's not a cultivator, it's impossible to use the water avoidance art."
However, her hair and clothes were as neat as new, not only without water stains, but also as clean as if they had just been put on, it really didn't look like an ordinary person who had struggled in the lake water.
"This routine was mentioned in the original book."
Ning Ning continued: "The demons in this city noticed that there were monks entering, and because of their limited strength, they did not dare to directly conflict. So they turned into innocent human beings and attached themselves to the protagonist group. The knife thing - the one who got stabbed was me."
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
It is really hard to endure hardships, only to be subordinate to others. "The Devotion of Tool Man X" is really not a cover, it's bad and unlucky.
Ning Ning is right, this man and woman are the newly awakened Garan demon clan, here they are doing their best to pursue their dreams in the entertainment industry.
The woman's name is Meng Jiaqi, a descendant of the fox clan; the man's name is Qin Chuan, who looks big and three thick, but is actually a rabbit.
Knowing that there were monks breaking through the barrier, the elders in the city who were addicted to pretending to be addicted showed a rare sign of panic. After some discussion, it was decided to send them to mix in as human beings and act as undercover agents.
And the most convincing way is to come to a stereotypical but classic hero to save beauty.
When Qin Chuan saw her, the sense of crisis in his heart suddenly increased, and the viciousness in his eyes became more and more obvious, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't come here! Otherwise I-"
Having said that, the remaining lines were all stuck in his throat.
I saw the new little girl in the white dress smiled faintly and pinched the trick with one hand.
Then a sword wind directly hit the head of the hostage he was holding, causing Meng Jiaqi to roll his eyes on the spot and closed his eyes unconsciously.
"Okay."
He heard her say: "The hostage has been killed by me. You have no bargaining power, so you should surrender obediently."
Qin Chuan: ? ?
Qin Chuan was shocked, and there were thousands of alpacas racing in his heart.
In order not to be threatened, you simply kill the person who is threatening yourself. Are all of you famous and decent people doing this? Shouldn't it? No, no, no
What about the righteousness? What about the good hero to save the beauty? Kill the beauty directly. Do you have any mental illness? !
Meng Jiaqi in his arms fell limply.
His heart also fell down with softness.
This group of people is not right.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he fell into the girl's hands.
Qin Chuan, who was assigned the villain role but survived by chance, made a decisive decision and slipped away. Immediately transformed into a snow-white big white rabbit, he turned around and ran, but his legs were short, and He Zhizhou grabbed his ears: "Sample, undercover plan?"
… hateful.
It turned out that the two had already seen through it.
Big White Rabbit stared at his legs, smiled awkwardly at the end, but the middle-aged man's thick and sturdy voice said: "It's all a misunderstanding. That, that is, I'm not here to destroy you, but to join you, haha."
Ning Ning didn't talk nonsense, and cut to the chase: "Uncle, what other plans do you have? Where are the young city lord and the deacon elder?"
Rabbit tilted his head tremblingly. Unexpectedly, the other party did not continue to ask questions, but glanced at He Zhizhou casually, pointed at Qin Chuan's chubby body and grinned: "Laugh to death, rabbit meat."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Rabbit struggled, "I'm hundreds of years old, the meat is dry, it's not delicious!"
"Naturally dry the old bacon!" Ning Ning's eyes lit up, "And such good things!"
Qin Chuan: …
Since witnessing her take down the hostages with his own eyes, he has no doubt that the girl can do anything.
Then the majestic male voice sounded again: "The elder and the young city lord are both in the city lord's mansion and keep going west. It's other plans. I really don't know why Tutu is so cute.
Ning Ning touched the rabbit's head with satisfaction: "Good."
Then he took out the storage bag and slipped it in without hesitation.
"If you let it go, you will definitely go to tip it off."
Ningning said: "The original book doesn't describe this commission very much, and I'm not sure if there is an unexpected crisis... Anyway, let's take a step by step."
He Zhizhou nodded and pointed to the strange woman who fell to the side: "What about her?"
As a sword cultivator, he naturally understood that Ning Ning didn't kill him, but the other party just lost consciousness and passed out.
"You have to keep it for later use. If you encounter danger in the future, you have to rely on the insiders in this city to help resolve it."
Ning Ning squatted down as she spoke and put a little weight on her forehead. The woman opened her eyes suddenly, full of panic and disbelief.
"You're awake."
The little girl in the white skirt beside her smiled harmlessly: "Sister, don't be afraid, the villain has already been dealt with by us. My name is Ning Ning, this is He Zhizhou, both disciples of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, and I came here to exterminate them. Demon." Seeing her face, Meng Jiaqi's heart trembled.
Hearing that the villain was dealt with, the apex of his heart trembled even more, as if he had already seen his future destiny.
"Meng Jiaqi."
She tried her best to restrain her trembling, and forced a smile: "I went to the lake to wash yarn and wash clothes, but unexpectedly the man suddenly rushed out beside me, intending to attack me. In desperation, she had to plunge into the lake, but unexpectedly came to Such places... Thank you two for your help, I don't know the corpse of the murderer..."
He Zhizhou and Ning Ning secretly exchanged a wink.
He responded quickly, and immediately replied with a smile: "We thought he was not like an ordinary person, maybe he was poisoned or poisoned, so we dissected the man's stomach and checked the internal situation. The bloody scene has been dealt with by us. already."
Meng Jiaqi almost had a heart attack when he heard it, so he dared to ask: "Then, did those two find out anything?"
The scene was silent for a moment.
Then He Zhizhou scratched his head and stuck out his tongue. He was six-pointed and four-pointed shy, with an embarrassed smile in his upward ending: "Hey."
When he smiled, Meng Jiaqi felt that something was wrong.
It was terrifying and disgusting, as if there was an octopus sticky and sticky on its eyes.
And He Zhizhou's voice sounded as expected after a pause, and every word hit her eardrum with great precision.
Meng Jiaqi heard him say, "It's a coincidence, you would never have imagined that the cause of his death happened to be autopsy."
too. skillful. .
die. because. Yes. untie. cut.
Meng Jiaqi: Grass.
Grass! ! !
Qin Chuan, you are so miserable! ! !
You bastard sticking out a hammer tongue! Qiao Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao! What kind of thick skin does he have to say such a thing without changing his face!
Not human.
Their Xuanxu Sword Sect is not human! ! !
She was in a trance, and felt that her whole demon was not very good.
As a red-haired demon, Meng Jiaqi has heard so many ruthless words and seen so many ruthless people since she was a child. Only this man with his tongue out and smiling in front of her made her feel fear for the first time.
This man, he is not normal.
And Ning Ning, who killed the hostages as soon as they met, her heart was really dirty.
Meng Jiaqi took a deep breath and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, preventing tears from flowing out of her red eyes.
Qin Chuan's middle road collapsed, it was not the worst.
The worst thing is that she still has to stay with this group of people as an undercover agent, and the ghost knows what kind of unconscionable slapstick operations they will have. Once her true identity is discovered, there may be something more terrifying than a vivisection that awaits her.
What is life is better than death, this is called life is better than death.
"Miss Meng, why are you crying? Are you frightened?"
Ning Ning glanced at the redness in her eyes and comforted solemnly: "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side. The humanity of our Xuanxu Sword Sect will last forever, especially this brother He next to me, because his heart is as pure as white. Paper, people give it the nickname 'Congratulations Paper'."
Meng Jiaqi: Haha.
It's so simple, so unpretentious.
See that cupping mark on my forehead? Then I really thank you.
