Zen Strange Records

Chapter 243
Hearing this, Ai Cao frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head dejectedly: "Sorry, I can't remember clearly. I only remember that after I was separated from Brother Wu and the others, I went south alone. Something seemed to have happened during that period. When I wake up again, I'll be here."

Ye Xiaosan nodded, it was similar to what he had guessed, it seemed that he was too naive to find clues so easily, now that Ai Cao had lost the cloud bed and the wind slave in it, and the small black panther puppet he made had also disappeared. Scrap, it can be said that the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, but she can't let her take risks alone.

Soon, the sky was bright, Wu Erdan and others woke up one after another. Naturally, they sighed when they saw the recovered wormwood. They discussed it and decided to part ways.

Wu Erdan and the others continued to move towards Dingning City, trying to find a way to bypass the army and sneak into the city. Ye Xiaosan and Su Ying followed their original plan and returned to Nanhuai City to see if they could find out Hu Zuotian's whereabouts.

The plan was made, and the few people left here, and Ye Xiaosan got back his Fuxi Guqin as he wished, carried it on his back, mounted the horse with Su Ying, and headed towards Nanhuai City.

All the way without talking, the two quickly came to the outside of Nanhuai City, but just as the city gate came into view, the two felt a strange discord.

I saw that it was already bright, but the gates of Nanhuai City were tightly locked, and no one moved around, which was in stark contrast to the bustle and bustle of the previous few days.

Su Ying was puzzled, but at this moment, she saw a woodcutter walking by herself, and hurriedly stepped down to stop him: "This benefactor, please tell me later, is there something serious going on in the city? Why is the city gate closed?"

The woodcutter, who was in his 30s, looked up and saw a young and beautiful monk. He couldn't help but put down the firewood on his back diligently, and said with a smile: "This master doesn't know something. Last night, in this city, there were so many people out there." A big incident happened, and the city lord was stabbed to death in the city lord's palace. Now, the whole city is under martial law, no one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter."

"The city lord was killed?" Su Ying looked back at Ye Xiaosan in surprise, the latter also looked bewildered, she didn't understand why such a big event happened at this point in time, even though it is often said that the prestige of the imperial court has plummeted, and each place is doing its own thing , but after all, he is the lord of a city, and no one will be bored to kill the lord of the city unless he intends to cause trouble.

"Isn't that right? I heard that it seems to be some kind of demon from Tianxin Sect at this moment. Now the army is hunting for it all over the city!" The woodcutter said, sighing again and again, carrying firewood on his back, and wandering away, leaving only The two people looked at each other.

"The Tianxin sect assassinated the city lord?" Ye Xiaosan sat on the horse, chewing on this somewhat unexpected news over and over again, always feeling weird. Although Hu Zuotian's purpose is unclear, judging from the previous actions, it is still related to the Tibetan Palace , I really can't imagine the significance of killing the city lord.

Su Ying also had the same idea. She saw the girl get on her horse, and looked at the closed city gate from a distance: "What should I do? It seems that the city is not peaceful now. Should we enter the city first?"

"Let's take a look at the situation first." Faced with this unexpected change, Ye Xiaosan had no idea, so he looked around: "I remember when I came here before, there was a small temple not far away. , we are Buddhists after all, so why not go and borrow a place to stay and then discuss countermeasures."

"That's fine, as long as it's not the site of Qingshi Nunnery, I don't care." It seems that Su Ying's prejudice against Qingshi Nunnery is deeply rooted. Ye Xiaosan secretly said a word of caution, and then rode on to the temple not far away with the girl. and go.

———————————— dividing line, dividing line ————————————

"So, how do we enter Dingning City? Don't forget, it's completely surrounded by the army, and we don't even know anything about the situation in the city." After sending Ye Xiaosan and Su Ying away, Shangguan Cai finally let go. Tone, let alone the girl whose identity is unknown, but who gives people a more terrifying and coercive feeling than Hu Zuotian, even Ye Xiaosan has made rapid progress. After a few days of seeing each other, it has already given people the feeling of being unpredictable.

Being with those two people was really stressful. On the contrary, being with Wu Erdan and Ai Cao gave people a lot of sense of superiority.

"I'm not sure yet, let's check around Dingning first." Wu Erdan also had no clue, although he boasted about Haikou impulsively in front of Ye Xiaosan, but now that he thinks about it, he is a bit foolish: "But While trying to find a way to enter the city, we still have to pay attention to safety, after all, we don't know when those guys will suddenly attack."

"Well, and it's best to get some materials. I plan to make a usable puppet again." Ai Cao looked at Wu Erdan, then at Shangguan Cai, and suddenly felt that she was the one who held back the most. This is not going to work, at least a little bit of fighting ability must be recovered.

In this way, the three guys who made up a temporary plan discussed and discussed, but they had no clear plan at all. In the end, they could only take one step at a time.

At that moment, the three of them packed up their luggage and headed towards Dingning City. Unlike Nanhuai City, this place is not far from Dingning City, and they also passed a village and two areas where bandits were rampant along the way. , can be described as extremely difficult and dangerous, but fortunately, the three of them have already walked through it once, and they are familiar with the road.

Because those things happened not long ago, the three of them were silent a lot along the way, all of them were preoccupied, and the atmosphere was a little depressed. This situation lasted until noon. A little relief.

It's just that as soon as they entered the village, the three of them realized something was wrong. They saw a village in Nuoda, but there were no pedestrians on the road, and the doors and windows of every house were locked, like a deserted village.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what happened, they couldn't help becoming vigilant, and took out their weapons one after another: "Could it be that the bandits robbed the village, or something major happened?"

Wu Erdan's guess is also reliable, after all, in this chaotic era, this kind of thing is happening almost all the time in all parts of the world.

But as soon as these words came out, they were rejected by Shangguancai. The girl sniffed her nose with a strange expression, and looked at the closed households: "That's not right, I didn't smell any blood in the air." The breath doesn't have the chilling smell as imagined, but... instead, there is a smell of rice in the air."

Rice smell?Wu Erdan and Ai Cao looked incredible, but Shangguancai's expression didn't look like a joke. The next moment, Shangguancai pushed the two of them aside, sniffing the fragrance in the air, and walked in the direction In the past, the remaining two people looked at each other and quickly followed. Soon, the three of them saw the shocking wonder of the world!
