Chapter 120 Sleepy
Chapter 120 Sleepy
The bell in Zuo Qingxian's hand rang "ding-ling-ling" a few times, and the crisp sound echoed in this small world.
Time seemed to stand still, Mei Susu's black hair was blown by the wind, and Zuo Qingxian's smiling eyes were full of Mei Susu's figure. The smile on his lips widened, and he took another step closer to Mei Susu.
Mei Susu took a step back, and there was no longer the previous light in her glassy eyes.
"Little cat demon, I haven't hurt you, why are you so afraid of me?" Zuo Qingxian saw the indifference in her eyes and felt like a needle piercing his heart, making his smile fade a little.
"Although you have never hurt me, you are not honest and you do things in an extreme way. I cannot trust you."
Zuo Qingxian opened the folding fan again and fanned it gently.
He seemed to be thinking seriously about what Meisusu said.
"What Susu said is not right," he said.
Mei Susu looked at him: "What's wrong? Didn't you hide something from me? Didn't you push the emperor into the water? Didn't you eavesdrop on my conversation with others?"
Mei Susu was rarely so aggressive, she just wanted Zuo Qingxian to give her an explanation.
Zuo Qingxian looked around, then frowned as if he sensed something: "This is not the place to talk. If you want to know, come with me."
Mei Susu stood still, a gleam in her eyes, as she considered whether she could follow him.
Zuo Qingxian saw her concerns, and tightened his grip on the folding fan slightly, saying with a smile: "We won't go too far, but this place is dangerous."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and it was obvious that he felt something.
Mei Susu saw that he didn't look fake, so after a moment's hesitation, she decided to go with him. He said they wouldn't go far, and if they found anything wrong, she would turn back.
Zuo Qingxian walked in front, and Mei Susu followed behind him not too far away.
What Mei Susu didn't notice was that as a gust of wind blew, the thing in Zuo Qingxian's hand was also blown to the place where they had just stood.
A burst of colorless and odorless white smoke passed by, and Mei Susu's breath and his breath dissipated between heaven and earth.
Within the ten-mile bamboo forest outside the imperial city, a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the depths of the bamboo forest and galloped towards the outskirts of the bamboo forest.
But in the blink of an eye, the team rushed out from the depths of the bamboo forest again.
"Whoa!" The leader pulled the reins, his cold eyes dim as he looked at the bamboo forest in the dark night, with murderous aura all around him.
"Master, if we try to break the Three Mysterious Five Formations in this ten-mile bamboo forest alone, it will probably take us three days to get out." Zhuiying looked at the gradually rising white mist and clenched the sword in his hand.
"Yeah." Xuanyuan Che turned over and got off the horse, picking up a small stone on the ground.
As he raised his hand, the pebble flew forward and suddenly disappeared somewhere.
The next moment, there was a noise behind him. Xuanyuan Che tilted his head slightly, and a small stone flew past his ear, and landed one meter in front of him with a "pop".
It was the small stone he had just thrown.
"Master, it's right there." Zhuiying pointed to the place where the pebble disappeared just now and was slightly excited.
Xuanyuan Che shook his head: "As you said, after breaking the five formations, there are still three mysteries. If we don't find the core of all the formations, three days... may be too short."
This formation was extremely sophisticated and was definitely not set up by ordinary people. They had broken through three formations before getting here, and now they were stopped by the formation again.
If they go forward, there will definitely be formations waiting for them.
The entire bamboo forest has been tampered with.
Zhuiying turned around and looked behind him. There were ten secret guards like him. "Master, there is no one among us who is proficient in formations. Otherwise, we can use the Gu worm to pass the message and call for those who are proficient in formations to come to our aid."
Xuanyuan Che did not stop him. Zhuiying took out the insect and whispered a few words to him. Then he knelt on one knee and placed the insect on the ground.
As soon as the insect touched the ground, the tentacles on its forehead trembled twice, and then it ran quickly forward.
But he didn't go far, and when he reached a certain position his body suddenly disappeared.
Everyone turned around and looked, and sure enough, the figure of the poisonous insect emerged from behind them.
"It seems that no living creature can get out of this formation." Xuanyuan Che retracted his gaze and took off the long sword on the horse's back: "Give the order to rest here."
Zhuiying clasped his fists and went to make arrangements.
Xuanyuan Che took out his sword and casually sat down on a dead tree stump. His handsome face showed no trace of sadness except for a slight frown on his brows.
The poisonous insect rolled up from the ground, slowly crawled to his feet, and then climbed up to his knees along the hem of Xuanyuan Che's clothes.
"Buzzing."
The poisonous insect flapped its wings above his knees, making a buzzing sound.
Xuanyuan Che paused while wiping his hand, and hummed. The poisonous insect immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
Watching the poisonous insect flying away, Xuanyuan Che looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds tonight, without a single star.
The sky inside the formation is unreliable, day and night are reversed, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Xuanyuan Che withdrew his gaze and thought of the little guy in the palace.
Su Su was probably getting impatient waiting for him, so she came out in a hurry today. It was his fault that she didn't tell her.
Fortunately, everyone in Yongning Palace is his, so as long as Su Su doesn't run around, everything will be safe.
He didn't know if the little girl missed him, but he missed her a little.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Che's cold eyes were filled with a layer of tenderness, but it soon faded away because of something.
He actually underestimated that man. Not only could he make the High Priest of Gujiang work for him, but he also gathered this group of Taoists to bewitch people for him.
Even he fell into the opponent's trap today and was trapped in this formation.
It's not that he can't deal with him. He just has free time anyway, so it would be fun to have a clown jumping around.
But at this moment Xuanyuan Che's thoughts changed. He would never let anyone who threatened Su Su live.
A sinister look flashed across his eyes, and the sword in his hand also cut a sharp edge.
"Master, you need to eat something." Zhuiying walked forward with a piece of dried meat.
"No need." Xuanyuan Che refused.
Zhuiying didn't ask any more questions. He found an open space, sat down cross-legged with his sword in one hand, and started to chew on the dried meat.
Xuanyuan Che glanced at him and said, "You seem to be enjoying the meal."
Zhuiying paused in chewing the dried meat, then quickly wiped his mouth, hid the dried meat in his sleeve, and smiled awkwardly.
"The master asked his subordinates to rest so that they can eat and drink enough to work."
"You know this now?" Xuanyuan Che threw the object in his hand at him: "Go find this object after you're full. There are ten of them in total."
Zhuiying hurriedly caught the thing, lowered his head and looked at it, his face suddenly changed: "Broken pieces of the Eight Diagrams, this is a magic weapon to suppress the formation."
Xuanyuan Che hummed and pointed his sword to the sky.
Zhuiying looked up and happened to see the poisonous insect flapping its wings and passing through some kind of barrier, then shaking its body and flying away.
"this......"
It is the place to break the formation.
Xuanyuan Che nodded: "The method to break this formation is right above our heads. There are two more formations ahead. Arrange your men to search for the fragments in three groups. I will meet up with you later."
Zhui Ying clasped his fists and said, "I will go and make arrangements immediately."
