Although the fat man wanted to follow him, after thinking about it carefully, what Nanfeng said did make sense, "Okay then, you must be careful."
"I don't have direct contact with them." Nanfeng buttoned up his clothes and pushed out the door.
When leaving, Zhuge Chanjuan also opened the door and said, "I'll go with you."
Nanfeng waved his hand, "No, you all stay at the inn, I'll go by myself."
"I am light, Master Ba can carry me." Zhuge Chanjuan gave Nanfeng a reason to take her instead of the fat man.
Nanfeng shook his head, turned around and took a step forward. Zhuge Chanjuan followed from behind.
After leaving the inn, Nanfeng cast his body skills and swept out of the city. At the same time, he sent out a whistle to summon the Eighth Master.
Before reaching the outside of the city, the Eighth Master flew in from the east, and the south wind swept up the roof. When Zhuge Chanjuan arrived, she took her hand, jumped up, and landed on the Eighth Master's back.
Ba Ye turned around and flew towards the northeast.
Zhuge Chanjuan was so curious when she first rode a bird, "How does it know where you are going?"
The sky was windy, and the south wind pulled Zhuge Chanjuan to sit down. "There are eight places on its back. After it comes up, step on different places and it will know which direction to fly. You can also tell it directly. It can understand human speech." "
"It's really amazing to be so smart at only half a year old." Zhuge Chanjuan said. It was summer when she saw Nanfeng from the Orc Valley, and Ba Ye hadn't even hatched yet.
Nanfeng nodded and did not answer.
It was still snowing at this time, and it was very difficult to observe his complexion in the snowy night. Even after flying for dozens of miles, he never saw the two breaths that the fat man mentioned before. However, he remembered the general location of the ruined temple, so he urged Master Ba to rush there.
When they were still more than ten miles away from the ruins of the ruined temple, they finally discovered two alien auras. Fatty had not mistakenly seen them before. These two aliens were indeed Jushan and Dongyuan cultivators. At this time, the two auras stayed in the ruins. around.
For fear of being noticed by them, Nanfeng instructed Ba Ye to fly high, and the falling snowflakes provided cover for the two of them. At this time, the two aliens were rummaging through the ruins of the ruined temple, and did not realize that Ba Ye had carried them there. Peeping from the sky.
"What are they looking for?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked in a low voice.
Nanfeng didn't answer. The two aliens transformed into human forms, but their sight was blocked. Their appearance and clothes were not clear, and it was impossible to determine what kind of alien they were by their complexions.
Based on the actions of the two aliens, it is not difficult to find that they are searching purposefully in the ruins, but what exactly they are looking for is unknown.
This ruined temple originally had four kinds of artifacts, namely the Chao bell and the corpse buried under the Chao bell, the stone statue and the bronze tripod buried under the stone statue. The Chao bell and the bronze tripod were transported back to the government office by Gongjun. The corpse was missing and the stone statue was damaged.
The court bell finally fell into the hands of Yuqingzong Long Yunzi. When the government came to carry these utensils, the nine copper tripods had been opened and the utensils inside had been taken away. It was Han Xin's soul that was sealed, and it should be another group of people who took away his soul and body.
There were originally ten bronze tripods, but the fat man took one back to the county government. When it was unconscious, Tian Xunzi transferred the soul sealed in the bronze tripod to a jade biscuit. The person who took away the body and soul naturally wanted to resurrect Han Xin, but without Shuang Ling, who is in charge of wisdom and spiritual consciousness, Han Xin would be a confused fool even if he came back to life.
Thinking about it this way, these two aliens came here most likely to find the bronze tripod that was missing that day.
Because there had been a fierce battle with the wolf demon here that day, the ruins of the ruined temple were very serious, and it had become a ruin. Not even the ruins were left. The two aliens searched carefully from the ruins, and they were very careful. The earth was sifted and dug.
They didn't sift through the soil, but they really dug the ground. After removing all the ruins without finding anything, the two aliens shook themselves up and revealed their original forms. These two aliens were of the same kind, both were pangolins, and they were huge in size. , one of them is the size of an ox, and the other is bigger, with a strong back arch, waving sharp claws, and the dust it digs is flying.
Due to their huge size, they excavated very quickly. It didn't take long for the two aliens to complete their search, return to the ground, and transform into humans.
Then the two aliens had a brief conversation. It was windy and it was difficult to hear clearly, but one of them finally raised his voice and said, "Go to the bottom of the valley to search, and you will definitely find the bronze tripod." '
"What bronze tripod?" Zhuge Chanjuan looked at Nanfeng in confusion.
"Han Xin's body and his three souls and seven souls were originally sealed here. The soul was sealed in ten bronze cauldrons. The contents of one of the bronze cauldrons are now on my body." Nanfeng said.
There is a natural chasm not far to the south of the ruins. The two pangolins dug holes from the north bank. They are both alien species with sharp claws and teeth, and they dug straight through the hard rock and went downwards.
After the two pangolins left the ground, Ba Ye turned around and flew east.
"Where to go?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked.
"Go to the county government office in Yu County. The bronze tripod should still be there. They can't be found from here. They will probably find it in the county government office. Once you find that the bronze tripod is opened, you can guess that the thing is in my hand. I have to go Take away the bronze tripod and throw it somewhere else." Nanfeng said.
Ba Ye flew quickly, and after half a stick of incense, he reached the sky above the county government office. Nanfeng was familiar with the situation of the county government office and knew the location of the treasury. He gently stepped on Ba Ye's back, signaling it to fold its wings and fall.
Master Ba understood and swooped down.
He usually jumps to the ground when he is ten feet above the ground, and jumps up lightly when he is three feet above the ground. Therefore, Ba Ye will master the appropriate height every time, but this time he did not drop to the height of ten feet above the ground. When he was twenty feet tall, he suddenly raised his head and flapped his wings to fly high.
This abnormal situation made Nanfeng immediately vigilant. Master Ba's sharp eyes must have discovered something.
But although Master Ba is smart, he cannot speak and cannot make inquiries. He can only observe on his own.
He had lived in the county government before, and was familiar with the layout of the county government's houses and the work and rest schedules of the government officials. The county government had a guard room, which was where the government officials kept watch at night. The noise.
The backyard is the residence of the county magistrate. At this time, the backyard is dark. It has been almost a year since the two left Yu County. It is impossible that there will be no new officials to replace them. If a new official takes office, he must have fallen asleep by now. Those government officials are just drinking. I don't dare to be so presumptuous.
"Is something abnormal?" Zhuge Chanjuan looked down intently.
Nan Feng nodded, "When Fatty was here, he would often go to the guard room and play guessing games and drink with the yamen servants. Therefore, those yamen servants dared to make loud noises. It is impossible for the newly appointed officials to be as arrogant as him."
"Perhaps the new official has not arrived yet." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
Nanfeng frowned and shook his head, "If the new official hadn't taken office, the yamen servants would have gone back to sleep in the hot pit in such a cold weather. Who would stay in the waiting room?"
"Trap?" Zhuge Chanjuan became more vigilant.
Nanfeng didn't answer immediately. He thought quickly in his mind. He decided to go back to the county government on a temporary basis. The reason was that after listening to the conversation between the two aliens, he wanted to come back and take away the bronze tripod. If there was an ambush in the county government, then What the two aliens did before was done deliberately for him to see, and the words they said were also meant for him to hear.
Zhuge Chanjuan also thought of this, "If they discovered Fatty and deliberately let him discover his whereabouts, why didn't they just follow Fatty to find us?"
"They probably didn't find Fatty, they just knew we were nearby," Nanfeng said.
Before Zhuge Chanjuan answered, Nanfeng said again, "The bronze tripod has been missing for almost a year. They should have started looking for it long ago, and should not wait until now. Someone may have discovered our whereabouts and informed them. They came from far away They came from everywhere, knew we were nearby, but didn’t know exactly where we were. They searched rashly but were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they set up a trap to trap us and make us fall into a trap.”
"Two purple-qi aliens were used for bait alone?" Zhuge Chanjuan was doubtful. "With such a large formation, wouldn't it be faster to just cast a net to hunt them down? Why waste so much effort?"
"Casting the net can only catch bastards, but not loaches. The other party may be very familiar with me and knows that I am difficult to deal with." Nanfeng said.
"Not modest." Zhuge Chanjuan glanced at Nanfeng.
"I'm already very humble." Nanfeng smiled.
Zhuge Chanjuan stretched out her hand and said, "I'm almost freezing. Make a decision early."
Nan Feng thought for a while and instructed Ba Ye to go north. When he was far away, he got off the bird's back and carried a stone up.
Ba Ye was smart and guessed what he wanted to do based on his actions, so he returned to the sky above the county government office and flew high.
The higher he flew, the more powerful the stone dropped. He flew until he had difficulty breathing. Only then did Ba Ye stop. Nanfeng threw the stone down with all his strength.
"I knew I would have asked Fatty to come with you." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"His hammer can't be thrown this far," Nanfeng said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound from below, and two deep purple auras suddenly appeared and disappeared.
"Tai Xuan?!" Zhuge Chanjuan exclaimed.
The moment the aura appeared, Nanfeng was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He just suspected that there was an ambush below, but he didn't expect it to be true. Although there were only two people coming, they were Taixuan cultivators. If the Eighth Master hadn't noticed the abnormality before, the two of them would have been there at this time. People have been taken down.
He didn't dare to delay under the pressure, so he immediately urged the eighth master to go west and return.
"Who is coming?" Zhuge Chanjuan asked. At this time, there were only a handful of people with Taixuan cultivation. Li Chaozong was one of them, but Li Chaozong could fly. If it was really him among the two people who came, he would have been killed long ago. He fluttered his wings and came after him.
"It's probably Xuanqing Xuanjing of Taiqing Sect." Nanfeng guessed.
Zhuge Chanjuan was very surprised, "Younger Xuan?"
"Only these two old guys can think of such an insidious plan." Nanfeng nodded. At this time, he was both afraid and regretful. What he was afraid of was that the enemy was so scared that he would almost fall for it. What I regret is that I should not have handed over the Taixuan Scripture to them in order to protect myself. This wrong decision has created three Taixuan masters, and there may be more in the future.
"It is said that only the headmaster of Sanqing Sect can be promoted to Taixuan." Zhuge Chanjuan said.
"Whether you can be promoted to Taixuan depends on whether you have the Taixuan Sutra, and it has nothing to do with the identity of the practitioner." Nanfeng shook his head. Before that, he had been wondering how Taiqing Sect obtained the Seal of Wuchang Temple. Now he finally knows Okay, finally it was the second elder of the Xuan generation who took action.
"Could it be that Lin Yunguan has their spy?" Zhuge Chanjuan guessed.
"There is a possibility that someone else discovered us." Nanfeng said.
After burning incense, the two returned to the inn. The fat man was waiting anxiously. After asking about the situation, he was shocked.
The pursuers were in a neighboring county, so the three of them did not dare to be careless and set out on the road all night despite the wind and snow...
