After a brief discussion, the two decided to disguise themselves and conduct a secret visit. Even if they guessed wrong and worried for nothing, it would still be more reasonable than acting recklessly.
The two hid in the woods. Zhao Changhe took out the Qinghe mirror to look at his face. He looked left and right and thought about what kind of makeup he should put on. At first, he liked to put on yellow face casually. He used it too much. Many people had seen it and it was not suitable. Later, in the kingly way, people died.
It’s so sad that I didn’t even have time to burn incense in front of the grave.
Zhao Changhe sighed as he smeared the powder on his face. Not long after, the image of Snow Owl appeared in the mirror.
Zhao Changhe pinched his throat and laughed like an owl. He turned to Yue Hongling and asked, "Is it similar?"
Yue Hongling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xue Xiao is usually very calm, right? This is not the way of the king, don't be too exaggerated."
"Oh oh, I'll be careful."
"Also, don't touch me with that face."
"..." Zhao Changhe reluctantly took a brush and applied medicine to her: "You can just put on some makeup. The original Madam Si can't be used anymore. Alas, actually when I think about it, the original name was not good. It sounds like Sisi's Madam. You are my Madam, you should call me Madam Zhao."
Yue Hongling let him wipe it with both anger and amusement. After a while, a messy and ugly face appeared in front of her.
"How twisted are you that you won't even let anyone look at me for a few more seconds?"
"Not really." Zhao Changhe said seriously, "I really can't use my imagination to paint another face that is equal to yours. No matter how I paint it, it will be much uglier than the original one."
Blind man: “Ugh…”
Yue Hongling, who had never heard many sweet words, was very happy and accepted this statement: "You are sensible. What are the arrangements now?"
Zhao Changhe glanced outside the forest and pondered for a moment.
Miaojiang is not just a Miaojiang map. There is also an entrance to the secret realm of the spirit tribe in Taoyuan Town. The spirit tribe is thousands of miles wide. There are actually two maps here. No one knows whether Sisi is outside or in the spirit tribe.
Then the territory of Dan Miaojiang is very large. If Sisi is outside, is she in Taoyuan Town or Dali? Or even in other larger places such as Kunming in the present world? I don't know.
Yue Hongling said, "It seems that we should split up into two groups to investigate. I have assassinated the envoy in Dali before, so I am familiar with the routes there. I will go to Dali and you go to Taoyuan Town. No matter what we find, we will meet here at midnight tonight to exchange what we have found."
Zhao Changhe hesitated: "I wanted to go with you."
Yue Hongling laughed in silence: "We are two people, we can obviously do two different things, why do we have to tie us into one person? Dividing our forces to investigate, cooperating and exchanging, isn't that joining hands? It's childish."
Zhao Changhe did not hesitate: "Then let's meet here at midnight tonight. See you there. By the way, I'll give you this Qinghe Mirror. Since I've learned the Diamond Sutra, I should be much better at being immune to all evil. This place is full of poisons and evil spirits, so it's better for you to take it with you."
Yue Hongling was not polite either. She took the mirror, took a step forward, and flew backwards, bowing and saying goodbye with her hands, looking extremely cool.
Zhao Changhe was in a good mood and took a picture of the Snow Owl in the stream nearby. He left the forest with satisfaction, signaled Wuzhui to find a place to eat grass by himself, and headed straight for Taoyuan Town.
… …
It was still morning when we arrived here, and it was not yet lunchtime when we entered Taoyuan Town. The market stalls in the town were all closed and there was a bustling crowd of people.
The biggest difference between Taoyuan Town and other towns such as Dali is that its main population is Xia people, or now we should say Han people. When you walk in, you don't feel that the clothing and language are much different from those in the Central Plains towns. Instead, the architectural style and the occasional foreigners remind you that this is not the Middle Earth. Chinatown is.
Zhao Changhe swaggered along the street in his memory and headed straight for the main village where the spirits lived.
From afar, we could see that the city was heavily guarded outside, and the fully armed troops were guarding the city and patrolling in an orderly manner. There were also strong bows and crossbows inside the city, and it looked like they were ready to fight at any time.
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then he knocked his head. Of course, only an absolutely strong force can defend one side. In theory, Miaojiang at this time is not a unified form, but a "joint" mode of various ethnic groups. It is normal to support the army and show off the military. Being able to maintain such a strong army with strict military discipline in a relatively peaceful period, Sisi has done a great job.
Unlike the period when Sisi just established its power, which was mainly composed of Han troops, now there are more and more foreigners and half of them are Han troops. I don't know how many of them are spirits from the secret realm. It is a delicate balance. I don't know if there are some landmines of ethnic confrontation here, but at present, it is still within the normal range.
It's normal, but how do we go in and investigate
Even though I am very strong now, I still haven't learned how to become invisible. Can I use soul-stealing to get in? Is it really that difficult...
While hesitating, a whisper came from the side: "My Lord..."
Zhao Changhe didn't know who he was calling for a moment, but he could tell that the voice was transmitted directly into his ears, so he turned around calmly to take a look. But in the street tavern, a seemingly ordinary Han Chinese was drinking at a table near the door. When he saw him looking back, he made a gesture that no one could understand.
Regardless of whether you can understand the gesture or not, there is no doubt that this person is calling out to himself.
Zhao Changhe felt a bit amused. When he came here dressed as Wang Daozhong, he was chased and hacked by Shi Wuding. It felt like nothing happened, but Wang Daozhong caused trouble. I didn't expect that I would get into trouble when I dressed as Xue Xiao, but it seems that there is something good going on.
He walked over calmly, sat in front of the other person expressionlessly, and said calmly: "You have disappointed me."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with sword intent, as if a real sword was piercing the other person's mind, causing a piercing pain in his head.
The sharp and fierce sword intent, the Jianlu or Tingxuelou version, let alone the Snow Owl method that he just learned these two days, in fact, Zhao Changhe has always had it. The last time he went to Miaojiang, he also came to hone his sword intent, and there were many proofs of the Snow Owl with the timeless snow owl. This time, the imitation of the Snow Owl is almost the same level as the imitation of Lao Wang.
The other party's face was twisted in pain and cold sweat was dripping. He almost wanted to kneel down, but he dared not show it in the busy tavern. He could only lower his head and say, "My Lord, the guards are really strict. We can only infiltrate slowly. The progress is not fast... I really didn't expect to provoke the Lord to come in person. This... I will never forgive myself."
Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, I just want to know the progress."
"What we know now is that the divine axe is not outside. It has been taken into the secret realm of the spirits. The spirits believe that this item is destined to be with them... I don't know if it's for the sake of claiming to have a treasure, or if it's true."
The Eternal Divine Axe... After the Thief Saint stole the axe, he did not take it to the Kunlun Thieves' Sect, but brought it to his disciple
If it is said that the Axe of Eternal Life God has a connection with the Elven race, Zhao Changhe's first reaction is that the Elven race's secret realm is suspected to be a giant who turned into the earth, and the giant axe opened the sky, which is in line with the meaning. This so-called connection may really have some meaning, but the Axe of Eternal Life God is very big for ordinary people, but compared to the Elven giant, it is like a toothpick and is not a good match.
Although he thought so in his heart, he deliberately said: "The divine axe belongs to Ye Wuzong. If he gave it to Xiang Simeng because he loves his disciple, what can the spirit race claim? Do they still want to deal with Ye Wuzong? How brave do they have?"
The man whispered, "According to our observations and intelligence, Ye Wuzong has not recovered from his injuries yet, and Xiang Simeng has spent a lot of effort taking care of Master."
Zhao Changhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Everyone saw that the Thief Saint was injured when he stole the axe, but they didn’t expect that he still hasn’t recovered from the injury. It’s been a long time…
Is the backlash of this axe really that strong
No wonder the Thief Saint didn't dare to return to Kunlun and hid with his disciple. This was not giving the axe to his disciple. On the contrary, the Thief Saint was asking for protection. He didn't trust Yuxu.
And Snow Owl sent some people to plot against the Axe!
