These words made Mr. Wan pause slightly, and then walked forward again.
He didn't answer the question.
Then there must be something strange about the death of the city lord.
Mr. Wan urged: "Hurry up, later changes will happen."
Mo Chen's heart trembled, and he quickened his pace.
Although Mrs. Yan and Mr. Wan, Mo Chen didn't know them before. But at this moment, Mo Chen understood the feelings of Mrs. Yan and Mr. Wan.
They also hope that Xiaodong can survive, stay away from the many doubts and dangers in Tianjian City, and live well.
Xiaodong stumbled when going up the steps.
He has already started refining qi, and he has a little success in cultivation, so he shouldn't have made such a mistake.
Mo Chen gave him a hand, and immediately noticed that Xiaodong's expression was not normal.
There was a lot of sweat on his face, and his face was as pale as a piece of paper, without any blood at all.
He didn't make a sound just now, Mo Chen thought that his mood was agitated and complicated, and his heart was chaotic.
But now it seems that Xiaodong's appearance is not right.
"Mr. Wan."
Mo Chen asked aloud: "What's wrong with Xiaodong?"
Mr. Wan's skinny face was still expressionless, but there was a hint of shock and panic in his eyes.
"Take him on your back, let's go."
Mo Chen didn't have time to ask any more questions, he put Xiaodong on his back and followed Mr. Wan with all his strength.
Xiaodong was a little dazed, he was thinking about something in his mind just now, but it was like a layer of fog covered his face, keeping him still separated, and he couldn't figure it out.
Now on the back of his senior brother, Xiaodong calmed down and felt warm in his heart.
Just now when Mr. Wan urged Mo Chen, Xiaodong heard his voice.
I must have heard this voice...
Where did you hear it
He leaned on Mo Chen's back, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at the back of Mr. Wan in front of him.
This figure is vaguely familiar.
It was strange, he didn't know many people, and he had lived a life of wandering before, and even fewer people he felt familiar with.
Just now Mr. Wan said, hurry up, and change will happen later.
let's go...
Mo Chen felt Xiaodong move on his back, he was afraid that Xiaodong would slip down, so he hurriedly supported him tighter.
At this moment, he heard Xiaodong yell indistinctly: "Uncle..."
At first Mo Chen thought he heard it wrong.
It was only later that he realized that Xiaodong's vaguely dreamy word was indeed uncle.
How could he think of Senior Yun at this moment
Between the lightning and the flint, there is a thread that connects Mo Chen's two pieces of memories that are not connected together.
Xiaodong is not from Yun's family, Yun Lie would raise Xiaodong back then, and take him to live in no fixed place, making him a home everywhere, there must be some special reason.
Yun Lie probably knows Xiaodong's real life experience, and has been hiding it for him, protecting him from growing up like a simple and ordinary child.
He must have a close relationship with Tian Jiancheng, Mrs. Yan and Mr. Wan.
Xiaodong can still vaguely see some of the surrounding scenery.
This road... he walked.
It was last time in a dream, following Mrs. Yan. Although it is the same road, it is in the opposite direction.
Xiaodong couldn't express how he felt right now.
He felt that he was like a sieve, with wind leaking from all sides, strength, spirit... flowed and lost from his body like running water, he had never felt so tired, so sleepy.
That does not work…
Although Xiaodong's consciousness is fuzzy. But I knew it couldn't go on like this.
He must be exhausted to death.
This is how the same thing? Is he sick? Or poisoned
No... probably neither.
If you are sick, there is no warning.
Poisoning... How could he be poisoned when he was protected so tightly by the senior brother
Could this weakness of unknown origin be related to Mrs. Yan driving them away
Everything in the field of vision appears blurred.
Xiaodong wanted to tell the elder brother that he had walked this road.
Keep walking until you reach the place that frightens him. That seemingly endless space, the ladder that never ends...
Xiaodong was instinctively afraid of that place, he didn't want to go there.
But just now he could utter two words vaguely, but now he can't even say a word.
By the way, he wants to tell big brother one thing...
Xiaodong lost his last ray of consciousness.
It was dark all around, as thick as ink, as heavy as stone. Xiaodong felt as if he was being pressed under a mountain, unable to move, extremely heavy, and unable to even make a sound.
He has often seen that tree in his dreams since he was a child. I don't know how big that tree is, how tall it is, or how many years it has grown. The trunk is so thick and the leaves are so dense that it even covers the sky.
When he was under the tree, he always felt very at ease and warm, just like... being by his mother's side.
But this time was different.
This tree is blooming.
The snow-white flowers bloom prosperously and profusely, just like the snow that has fallen from a tree.
Then the flower slowly turned pink, and the red became deeper and deeper, and finally turned into a deep red like blood.
When the wind blows, all the flowers float up, one after another, like a bright red snow.
Xiaodong suddenly opened his eyes and woke up in a cold sweat.
After the flowers fall, the tree dies.
The feeling of slowly withering and dying is just like the feeling he felt before he passed out.
His body is like a sieve, when a strong wind blows, the wind passes through countless holes, taking away all his spiritual energy.
Mo Chen kept guarding every inch of it, watching Xiaodong wake up, he brought a glass of water closer: "Drink it."
Xiaodong is not fully awake yet, a little dazed. Mo Chen asked him to drink water, and he took the cup obediently, and gulped down the water.
After drinking two cups in a row, Xiaodong realized that he was really thirsty.
"You were in a cold sweat just now." Before he woke up, Mo Chen gave him water twice. But Xiaodong's jaw was closed at that time, and it was really difficult to feed the water. After two cups of feeding, only a quarter of it could really reach the stomach.
Xiaodong touched his face and rubbed it vigorously a few times.
"Brother, where is this? Have we left Tianjian City?"
"not yet."
Xiaodong froze for a moment.
For some reason he wasn't surprised.
Perhaps he had foreseen that he would not be able to leave here smoothly.
The connection between Tian Jiancheng and him is deeper than he thought.
"Then where are we now?"
"It's at Madam Yan's residence."
Yes, too. Now in Tianjian City, Madam Yan can be found to take them in temporarily.
Xiaodong regained some strength, and only then did he have the energy to look at the place where they are now.
It's big and empty.
The place where he lay was like an attic, but this attic was too big. It is only supported by railings on all sides. In such a big place, only Xiaodong lay on a low couch, and a set of low tables was placed far away from the wall, with a set of cups on it...
Then? Then there is no more.
It didn't look like a place to live at all, much less like a woman's residence.
Although Xiaodong hadn't seen the girl's boudoir much, Madam Yan's place was even colder and less popular than the temple.
On the side of the attic facing the lake, there is a waterfall flowing down from above. It may be because of the formation, such a large water mist, but there is no tide to blow into the attic.
The other side is facing the courtyard. The ground of this courtyard is paved with neat white stones, and only two flowers and plants are scattered here and there. But these flowers and plants did not add color to the courtyard, on the contrary, they looked more and more lonely, making people feel very deserted and desolate.
Yes, Mrs. Yan is actually a widow, maybe it has something to do with it.
When Xiaodong was looking at this place, Mo Chen had already checked the pulse for him, and used his own true energy to help him adjust his internal energy. "Brother, did I hold back, so we couldn't make it?"
Mo Chen shook his head: "No. Mr. Wan was already going to lead me into the secret path at that time, and he said that you are fine for the time being, and it is best to leave Tianjian City as soon as possible. But there was an accident in the middle, so I turned back and stayed in Yanyan for a while. The lady is here to settle down."
"An accident? What accident?"
They have only been in Tianjian City for two days, but things have happened a lot during these two days.
The spring water dried up, the well water changed suddenly, that Elder Wu took advantage of the situation and slapped Qian Shantang in the face. Astragalus and Bupleurum were severely punished, and their lives may be lost.
"The disciples of Qianshan Hall went to argue with Elder Wu, but Elder Wu refused to give in. He even held on to another disciple of Qianshan Hall and insisted on punishing him for committing crimes against others and breaking the rules. Wang Mengchen had no choice but to bow his head to Elder Wu. Elder Wu reluctantly let go after offering a big gift to make amends."
This thing does seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
But this is not enough to affect them from leaving Tianjian City, right
"Also, someone fled privately in Tianjian City. After the incident, even the secret road was guarded by many people."
That's the main reason why they didn't make it.
"Escape?"
The word is simply unimaginable.
These people in Tianjian City are proud of this city. In their view, this is a fairyland on earth, and leaving here would be worse than death. In such a place, how could anyone be willing to flee privately
"Then who escaped? Has he already escaped?"
Mo Chen shook his head: "I don't know exactly who it is, but this person must still be in Tianjian City."
It is not a matter of one or two people to open the formation, and not everyone knows the secret path.
Mo Chen was just guessing in his heart.
He wondered if the person who wanted to escape was Chen Jingzhi
If it was replaced by any other ordinary disciple, the other party would have no reason to flee privately. Secondly, fleeing an ordinary disciple is not worth such a mobilizing search. It seems that Tianjian City has been sealed off. Although the formation is closed, the secret passage is also impassable.
Mo Chen paused and said, "Someone is here."
Xiaodong knew that senior brother's perception was extremely sensitive now, and he was afraid that he could hear any unusual movements several miles away.
Not long after saying this, someone really came.
Xiaodong saw this man walking through the courtyard through the gap in the fence of the attic, and came towards the direction where they were now.
This person is not Mr. Wan, and I have never seen him before. His face was sullen, his steps seemed heavy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, ready to vent his anger on others at any time. (to be continued)
