Jinyiwei work report
Chapter 58
The desert is yellow sand, and they rode for a whole day on horseback. Song Yingbai and the others met other travelers only once, and they were separated by tens of feet. dodged.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Song Yingbai couldn't see the village or the store, so he could only sleep in the wild, looking for sandstone caves that could shelter from the wind.
Of course, it is not so easy to find a suitable cave, because it is actually the home of wild animals.
After walking and stopping, after searching for about a quarter of an hour, Li Zhen found a naturally formed sandstone pit, which was suitable for overnight stay. The two tied their horses to the leeward slope and started to make a fire nearby.
When they left the town where Pan's family was located, the two supplied fresh water and cooked meat.
I broke off some branches of Populus euphratica and lit them with a torch, gathered a cluster of bonfires, put the cooked meat on it and roasted it hot, and began to eat it with clear water.
During the day, in order to save energy and the wind and sand, the two seldom talked. At this time, they were finally free and able to chat.
Song Yingbai leaned against the sandstone, admiring the magnificent sunset in the desert, "I never thought that Pan Baihu would raise a living dead at home."
Li Zhen frowned and said: "If he did this in the capital city or a densely populated place, he would have been discovered long ago. Only in the borderlands can he do whatever he wants. I am more concerned about the identity of the Frangji zombie who bit his wife. what.
Also, the zombies here, when they are standing up, black cats break in to cheat the corpse.Or it was buried in a place of pure yin after death, and the corpse absorbed the essence and transformed into a zombie.
No matter which of these two methods, people become dead after death, so the body of zombies is stiff, and they can't even walk, they can only jump.
But Mrs. Pan's body, who attacked me yesterday, has soft limbs and moves freely like us, which is really strange. "
Song Yingbai raised his eyebrows secretly, of course, he is not a zombie but a vampire, "Since it is a zombie of Frangji, it is naturally different from our Middle-earth zombie, it may be a new species."
"That's the only way to explain it." Li Zhen said: "I don't know if that Frangji zombie has bitten anyone else, and how many have encountered the same situation as Mrs. Pan."
Song Yingbai said: "I was bitten just like Mrs. Pan, but I'm afraid I won't meet another Master Pan. No one can operate like him. I admire him very much, anyway, I probably can't do it."
"How do you say that?" Li Zhen looked at him while drinking water.
"Because I don't have much love in myself, so I don't pour too much into others."
It's enough to love yourself, how about loving others?Too tired and too much trouble.
Li Zhen swallowed all the water in her mouth, choking her throat a little sorely, "...I have as much as I have, so give me as much."
"It's quite a blessing to be your sweetheart." Song Yingbai was startled after finishing speaking, and said suddenly, "Oh, I know what you are doing in Hell Well in such a hurry."
"What?"
"Look 100 years in front of Hell Well and measure 100 years later. Apart from state affairs, you also want to see if you can get along with that lady?" Song Yingbai said with a smile as he nudged him.
Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment, that's right, how could he forget this, indeed besides his father's whereabouts, he can also see what will happen to him and Song Yingbai in the future.Thinking of this, the rush to Hell Well became even stronger, "I was discovered by you."
"That's natural, how smart I am, how can you hide it from my eyes?"
Li Zhen lowered his head, smiled and said nothing. After a while, he restrained his smile, looked up at Song Yingbai, and said solemnly: "It happened so suddenly yesterday, I haven't had time to ask Pan Yuetai some questions."
"for example?"
"For example, who is Wu Ning from Longmenguan that he said. He was able to win his trust and let him tell him everything about his wife's illness. Besides, he can prepare herbs and lives in Longmenguan. It seems that he is not Ordinary people should not be underestimated."
"That's right, I'm actually curious too. And Pan Yuetai called him Wu Ning of Longmenguan. Is he famous in that area?" Song Yingbai said, "I don't know who he is, but it's definitely not simple. He arranged The red soup seems to be useful, and according to Pan Yuetai, when his wife is in good condition, she doesn't always attack people."
Li Zhen said: "If he is really at Longmenguan, then we will definitely meet him when we go here."
Song Yingbai put one hand on his raised knee, and said emotionally: "I don't know how we will feel when we come back from Hell Well and see the sunset in the desert again?"
"Of course, everything is clear and refreshing." Li Zhen stood up with a smile, took out two blankets from the bag on the horse's back, threw one to Song Yingbai, and kept the other for himself, pointing to the cave, " It's getting late, let's rest."
Song Yingbai stood up and stretched, "After riding for a day, it's time to rest."
Putting the blanket on himself, bending over to add branches to the bonfire, let it burn vigorously, and drive away the night and the beast.
The sandstone cave was fairly large, and there was more than enough room for the two of them to lie down, with room for one more person in between.
Li Zhen saw that Song Yingbai turned his back to him as soon as he lay down, and said helplessly, "I said, wrap your blanket tightly, the desert gets cold at night."
Wrapped in a thick blanket, Song Yingbai replied with a smile with her eyes closed: "Don't worry, if I get cold, I'll grab your blanket." After speaking, Li Zhen didn't make a sound, so she looked back at him curiously, and saw that he was smiling but not a smile Looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to say something, but he held back for some reason.
"What do you want to say?" Song Yingbai squinted his eyes and asked, he was sure that it would not be a good word.
"I don't want to say anything." Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, lay down and turned his back to Song Yingbai, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
He originally wanted to say, if you want to be cold, get under my bed and I will hug you at night.
But this kind of words that completely expose oneself must not be said.
But when you think about it, it's very satisfying.

Yu Zongping was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace for a whole day, when he came back from the palace in the evening, as soon as he entered the door of the mansion, a disciple rushed to report: "Master, Junior Brother Zhongyu is gone."
Yu Zongping noticed that his nephew Xie Zhongyu looked a little strange two days ago, as if he had something in his heart.
But he has been performing very well in the past six months, he doesn't go out noisy, and he concentrates on cultivation.
Yu Zongping thought that he just encountered a bottleneck in enlightenment, and he should really be left alone to think quietly at this time, so he didn't interfere much.
In the end, there was another moth, who actually disappeared while he was entering the palace.
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know, but someone saw it coming out of the back hall, went back to the room for a while, and then disappeared."
Yu Zongping had a bad premonition, because most of his magic weapons were enshrined in the back hall, and his disciples were usually not allowed to enter that place casually. Xie Zhongyu would never come out from there, and nothing good would happen.
He rushed to the place where the magic weapon was enshrined, but the magic weapon, Sinan, was nowhere to be seen.
Sinan can track down the whereabouts of the person he wants. Although it requires a certain level of skill, with Xie Zhongyu's level, he can completely master it.
Zhongyu looking for someone?Who is he looking for?But it doesn't matter anymore, this kid will definitely cause trouble when he goes out. Before the senior brother returned to Longhu Mountain, he told him to take good care of this guy. If something happened again, he couldn't explain it.
Yu Zongping was under the emperor's order and could not leave the capital, so he walked out of the hall and called his apprentice Liao Zhongfang to him: "Your brother Zhongyu is playful and has gone to nowhere, you go and chase him back for my teacher."
After finishing speaking, seeing a bunch of foxtails sprouting from the bottom of the wall in the corridor, he began to calculate Xie Zhongyu's whereabouts, and finally said: "In the northwest." The hand used for pinching pointed at the foxtails, then pulled it out and handed it to Liao Zhongfang, " Go, it will point to the direction where your brother Xie is, you just follow its guidance."
Liao Zhongfang was a little embarrassed, "What if he refuses to come back with me?"
Yu Zongping reluctantly pulled out a gold rope from his sleeve, and handed it to his apprentice without saying a word.
Liao Zhongfang understood, took the rope and the foxtail, went out without delay, and chased towards the northwest.
At this time, Xie Zhongyu, standing on the desolate hill, saw Sinan swinging in his hand, pointing in one direction.
After he was sure, he picked up Sinan, went down the hill, and ran forward quickly.
He believed that the uncle would send someone to chase him soon after he found out that he was missing, most likely it was Liao Zhongfang, the senior brother who is best at flying for thousands of miles, but he ran out a day earlier than him, and he was not too slow. Although it is urgent, it is not so easy for him to catch up with him.
Song Yingbai, you have to hold on, I'm here to save you.
-
After Song Yingbai woke up and looked at Li Zhen, he didn't know whether it was because he was hot from sleep or what happened, the blanket on his body was gone.
Looking again, it turned out that it was covering himself.
Although Song Yingbai knew that this guy had an unusual physique, but now he has witnessed it firmly, and he still admires it from the bottom of his heart.
He sat up and folded the blanket, when Li Zhen heard the noise, opened his eyes and looked at him, "When did you wake up?"
"Aren't you cold? I've been covered with blankets." Song Yingbai said.
"I saw you shrink into a ball in the middle of the night, and I'm not too cold," Li Zhen said lightly, "Anyway, I don't need it, and you need it, so I'll cover it for you."
Song Yingbai was a little embarrassed, "Aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold. There's still a blanket on the horse's back. If I'm cold, I'll get it again. Don't take it seriously. It's dawn, let's get some hot food, let's go."
Song Yingbai couldn't help but feel guilty, and took the initiative to say: "You rest, I'll go to heat up the meal." After finishing speaking, Maoyao walked out of the cave.
Li Zhen looked at his back, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and he smiled triumphantly.
After eating, the two immediately packed their bags and set off again towards their final destination.
Longmen Pass has been a frontier fortress since ancient times, but because of frequent invasions by foreigners, a large number of civilians migrated inward.
, there is only a narrow path leading to the distance, and the surrounding area has long been covered by yellow sand, and even when the wind is a little stronger, even the path is covered with sand and dust, looming.
Wu Shiheng, the owner of the Mirror Demon, must have been lost in the yellow sand... Song Yingbai hadn't seen a building in front of him for a long time, so he didn't feel a little worried. It's true that the hell well is at Longmenguan, but if it's so easy to find, it won't be called so much Return in defeat.
The key now is to find the inn that Xiao Zhuge saw.
The clue should be in the inn.
The wind blows the sand like flowing gold.Song Yingbai kept staring ahead, "Li Zhen, we can reach Longmen Pass this evening, so the inn we saw can only be inside Longmen Pass, so we don't have to wait until night to find this inn."
Li Zhen pointed to the front, "I have already seen a looming small building."
But Song Yingbai didn't see anything, but Li Zhen said he saw it, so there must be, "How far is it?"
"A few hundred feet, it will be soon."
Song Yingbai breathed a sigh of relief, thank God.He raised the reins, put his legs on the horse's belly, "It's close in front of us." Soon, the wind and sand slowly dissipated, and a dilapidated two-story building appeared in front of his eyes, with a flag fluttering in the wind hanging in front of the door.
It has not been washed all year round, and the words on the flag are so torn that it is almost impossible to read.
Song Yingbai thought to himself, it seems that what they saw should be the scene imprinted in Xiao Zhuge's mind when he left. At that time, the flag was still new, and the writing on it could still be seen.
They got off their horses, tied them up, and Li Zhen stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there?"
"Here we come, here we come." The door opened quickly, and a fat guy warmly invited them in, "Come on, two, it's windy and sandy. In fact, it was a good day two days ago. Here in our place, the weather changes as it says.”
Li Zhen and Song Yingbai stepped in, and saw that the tables and chairs in the lobby were neatly arranged, the floor was tidy, and several diners were eating.
"Do you want to stay in the hotel?" The fat guy asked with a smile, "Daijian has good food and drink. I just killed a sheep this morning. It would be better to stay in the hotel. The upper room is empty."
Song Yingbai looked around the lobby, and saw that this was an ordinary hotel, both the interior furnishings and the service of the store were the same as elsewhere.
In addition to the fat man, there was also a skinny guy serving wine to the diners.
On the counter next to the door, there was a dozing accountant, in his fifties, wearing a green shirt and with a goatee.
The important reminder of the location of the Hellwell is so unremarkable.
It might be hidden deep enough, though.
Seeing that the two people in front of him didn't answer, the fat guy asked again with a smile, and Li Zhencai said: "Stay in the hotel, lead us to the guest room first."
The fat man said to the thin man, "Come here quickly and carry the luggage for the guest officer."
The skinny guy responded, put down the tray, ran over, enthusiastically unloaded all the luggage that Song Yingbai and Li Zhen had put on the horse's back, and walked upstairs with them.
In order to ensure safety at night, the two of them decided to share a room, so that they could take care of each other in case of a situation.
In this place where people are unfamiliar and where matters are of great importance, there must be no mistakes.
When he got to the guest room, the fat man wiped his sweat and said, "I brought all the luggage for you."
Song Yingbai rewarded them with a small amount of money, "We will stay here, and we will settle the shop money together when we leave. Alright, let's go down."
The fat man and the thin man happily went down with the money in their hands. After closing the door, Song Yingbai looked at the room vigilantly.
Li Zhen also checked the inside of the cabinet, under the bed, and on the roof of the shed. After confirming that there was no problem, she nodded to Song Yingbai.
It is said to be a room for two people, but it is actually a big heated kang that can accommodate two people, separated by a kang table in the middle, and an aisle.
Song Yingbai sat on the side of the kang table and said in a low voice, "I don't see anything unusual."
Li Zhen sat across from him, "The picture we saw is definitely not wrong, it is here. As for how to find and open the hell well, I believe there must be clues in this inn."
Song Yingbai nodded, "Anyway, we have plenty of time, so there's no rush."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, it's been half a year. I don't believe that the two of us can't find out the secret of this store."
Song Yingbai agreed very much, and after chatting for a while, he got up and called Xiao Er for hot water, washed off the wind and sand on his face, and went downstairs to eat with Li Zhen.
There are plenty of food and drinks, just after the meal time, the people who ate just now have disappeared, and the fat and thin people are idle.
Song Yingbai inquired like a normal chat: "Is the business okay? I think there are quite a lot of customers."
"That's the way we are in this place where the birds don't shit. It all depends on the nearby garrison to support the business. They often come out to buy wine and meat to eat. Otherwise, just relying on the few pedestrians passing by, this shop would have closed long ago." Fatty While wiping the table, he said.
Li Zhen said: "It can be seen that the wine flag outside your store has been hanging for some years, and this store has been open for a long time, too."
"Then I don't know." The fat man said, "I've only been here for a year."
The thin man smiled and said: "Our store has been open for many years, but the boss has changed a few times, of course I heard about it. But think about it, if the garrison wants to drink and eat meat, someone will open a store to supply it." them."
Song Yingbai asked casually: "Who is the shopkeeper now? Why don't you see anyone else?"
The fat man said: "Our shopkeeper Wu has sent wine to the garrison, and we won't be back until tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Wu?Wu Ning?
Song Yingbai glanced at the accountant at the counter from the corner of his eye, and saw him standing there in a daze with his sleeves in his hands, like a tumbler.
Song Yingbai went upstairs to rest after having dinner with Li Zhen.
At this time, the wind and sand outside were gradually beating, and the sound of sand beating could be heard from the windows from time to time.
"Don't tell me, the hell well is the well used for cooking in the back kitchen of this inn." Song Yingbai half-jokingly said: "In that case, I will have to vomit old blood."
"Then let's sneak out at night, after everyone is asleep, and check it out." Li Zhen said, "Take a good look at the details of this store."
Song Yingbai agreed, and waited for the night to spy on the news.
In the evening, when it was time to eat, the two of them came to the lobby. This time, there was only a young man as a diner, and all the guests they met earlier were gone.
Song Yingbai asked the fat guy, "Why are there so few people?"
"Oh, you said that group of people at noon, they are businessmen who bought goods from outside the customs, they had a meal at the top, and left early."
Song Yingbai said oh, and sat at a table in the corner with Li Zhen, and saw a young man eating a few tables away. He was average in appearance, but his appearance was high, his waist was straight, and he even ate his meals in a rigid manner. Yes, he has a strong body, and he has some kung fu at first glance.
When the man missed his observation and glanced sideways, Song Yingbai looked away and complained to Li Zhen: "I'm not used to the wine here, after drinking it at noon, my head still hurts a bit. "
Li Zhen smiled and said, "You really can't drink."
The young man glanced at them both and continued eating.
At this time, the fat guy brought the sauced mutton bones and mutton soup, and put them on their table, "Guests take it easy."
Song Yingbai just picked up the spoon to scald it, and before he put it in his mouth, he heard the door panel slam, and someone outside shouted angrily: "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"
The skinny guy ran away, and took the bolt of the door away. In an instant, it was unknown whether it was the wind or the people outside the door. The two doors were all opened, and then a dozen men came in one after another.
The dozing accountant finally woke up, rubbed his eyelids, and found that the other party was a dozen menacing people, he shrank his neck and hid in a corner.
And the two fellows, the fat man and the thin man, couldn't figure out the purpose of this group of people, so they watched them nervously,
Li Zhen glanced at it, frowned and said, "It's from Dongchang."
At first glance, Song Yingbai didn't know these people, but after Li Zhen's reminder, he took a closer look and saw a familiar person from inside. It was Xu Jing who met the centipede before.
He walked in the farthest position, with a serious expression and a calm face.
He was blinded by Song Yingbai in one eye, and now the eye socket is filled with a prosthetic eye. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it's fake, but if you concentrate for a while, you will find that his right eye can't move. No emotion either.
Song Yingbai secretly rejoiced that Xu Jing didn't know he did it when they were wearing human skin masks.
However, even if Xu Jing was not considered, the sudden arrival of so many people from Dongchang couldn't handle it.
It must be too late to escape, and it is impossible to escape.
Although I don't know what the people from Dongchang are here for, it is obvious that it is definitely not a good thing to run into them here. If they don't know where the Hell Well is, they will cause big trouble.
Or, they also came from the well of hell?
At this time, a member of Dongchang walked up to the young man who was eating, looked at him carefully, and asked, "Where is this little brother from, and where is he going?"
"I'm from here, and I want to go to a place beyond your control." The young man said with a bad temper.
"You!" Fanzi slapped the table angrily.
At this time, Scalp Shaotang shook his head at him, so he had no choice but to go back to everyone.
Pi Shaotang walked towards this young man himself, but suddenly found another person who surprised him even more.
Isn't this Li Zhen, the commander of Jin Yiwei?
I saw Li Zhen sitting behind a table, facing him, looking at them expressionlessly.
His first reaction was that he must leave here immediately, the plan was exposed.
Pi Shaotang's face was ashen, but after another thought, if Li Zhen planned to sabotage their plan, he would not be alone. He might have other purposes for coming here.
Besides, they made such a big noise when they came in just now, he must have spotted them.
Pi Shaotang stepped forward bravely, "Ah, why did you come here? This is too coincidental."
Song Yingbai raised his eyes to look at this man, saw that he was in his forties, he was born with a pair of squinted eyes, and when he smiled, his eyes were crooked and exposed.
Li Zhen stood up and cupped her fists, "Yes, it's a coincidence."
Pi Shaotang said embarrassingly: "I'll bring these monkey cubs to do something."
Li Zhen smiled, "I'm also here to handle errands, but seeing how many people you have brought, it must be a big deal."
Pi Shaotang was at a loss. If Li Zhen didn't intend to destroy their plan, what would he do in the desert? Suddenly he glanced at the man beside Li Zhen, and couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this Song Yingbai?
He is Li Zhen's friend, and he is somewhat famous. He has never met him, but he recognizes him.
Li Zhen and Song Yingbai asked for leave, but ended up traveling here together?
It has long been rumored that the relationship between the two of them is unusual, and that there is a suspicion of broken sleeves, which seems to be true.
With a subtle expression of knowing the secret, Pi Shaotang looked at Song Yingbai with a smile and said, "Is this a private matter?"
As soon as Song Yingbai saw the "obscene and ambiguous" eyes, he knew that the other party had used his associations again to make him and Li Zhen a pair, and he might even plan to use their relationship as a handle.
Li Zhen touched Song Yingbai lightly under the table.
Song Yingbai understood, and they were speculating and probing each other, not sure whether the other party knew their true intentions.
At this time, whoever can disturb the heartstrings of the other party will have a greater chance of winning.
There are some things that Li Zhen can't say. After all, he's an official and has always been calm. He can only play the role of "leaking the mouth".
Song Ying rolled her eyes, clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with Pi Shaotang, stood up on the table, and hummed to Li Zhen: "I've been misunderstood every time, I won't accompany you, anyway, people have arrived as scheduled." Said After finishing, he seemed to realize that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly covered his mouth, his eyes flustered.
Li Zhen immediately "gouged" him a hard look, and said angrily, "Go upstairs!"
Song Yingbai lowered his head and slipped upstairs.
Li Zhen smiled dryly at Pi Shaotang: "He's like this, he's not big or small all day long, don't take it to heart." After speaking, he turned to chase Song Yingbai.
Pi Shaotang looked at their backs and broke out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that they were waiting for themselves!
Otherwise, how could Song Yingbai say "Everyone has arrived as scheduled." This sentence.
Plan slipped?
Li Zhen followed Song Yingbai into the room, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and whispered in his ear: "What you said just now is so good, it's enough for Lao Pi to think about it all night."
At ten o'clock in the evening, Song Yingbai couldn't see the village or the store, so he could only sleep in the wild, looking for sandstone caves that could shelter from the wind.
Of course, it is not so easy to find a suitable cave, because it is actually the home of wild animals.
After walking and stopping, after searching for about a quarter of an hour, Li Zhen found a naturally formed sandstone pit, which was suitable for overnight stay. The two tied their horses to the leeward slope and started to make a fire nearby.
When they left the town where Pan's family was located, the two supplied fresh water and cooked meat.
I broke off some branches of Populus euphratica and lit them with a torch, gathered a cluster of bonfires, put the cooked meat on it and roasted it hot, and began to eat it with clear water.
During the day, in order to save energy and the wind and sand, the two seldom talked. At this time, they were finally free and able to chat.
Song Yingbai leaned against the sandstone, admiring the magnificent sunset in the desert, "I never thought that Pan Baihu would raise a living dead at home."
Li Zhen frowned and said: "If he did this in the capital city or a densely populated place, he would have been discovered long ago. Only in the borderlands can he do whatever he wants. I am more concerned about the identity of the Frangji zombie who bit his wife. what.

Song Yingbai raised his eyebrows secretly, of course, he is not a zombie but a vampire, "Since it is a zombie of Frangji, it is naturally different from our Middle-earth zombie, it may be a new species."
"That's the only way to explain it." Li Zhen said: "I don't know if that Frangji zombie has bitten anyone else, and how many have encountered the same situation as Mrs. Pan."
Song Yingbai said: "I was bitten just like Mrs. Pan, but I'm afraid I won't meet another Master Pan. No one can operate like him. I admire him very much, anyway, I probably can't do it."
"How do you say that?" Li Zhen looked at him while drinking water.
"Because I don't have much love in myself, so I don't pour too much into others."
It's enough to love yourself, how about loving others?Too tired and too much trouble.
Li Zhen swallowed all the water in her mouth, choking her throat a little sorely, "...I have as much as I have, so give me as much."
"It's quite a blessing to be your sweetheart." Song Yingbai was startled after finishing speaking, and said suddenly, "Oh, I know what you are doing in Hell Well in such a hurry."
"What?"
"Look 100 years in front of Hell Well and measure 100 years later. Apart from state affairs, you also want to see if you can get along with that lady?" Song Yingbai said with a smile as he nudged him.
Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment, that's right, how could he forget this, indeed besides his father's whereabouts, he can also see what will happen to him and Song Yingbai in the future.Thinking of this, the rush to Hell Well became even stronger, "I was discovered by you."
"That's natural, how smart I am, how can you hide it from my eyes?"
Li Zhen lowered his head, smiled and said nothing. After a while, he restrained his smile, looked up at Song Yingbai, and said solemnly: "It happened so suddenly yesterday, I haven't had time to ask Pan Yuetai some questions."
"for example?"
"For example, who is Wu Ning from Longmenguan that he said. He was able to win his trust and let him tell him everything about his wife's illness. Besides, he can prepare herbs and lives in Longmenguan. It seems that he is not Ordinary people should not be underestimated."
"That's right, I'm actually curious too. And Pan Yuetai called him Wu Ning of Longmenguan. Is he famous in that area?" Song Yingbai said, "I don't know who he is, but it's definitely not simple.

Li Zhen said: "If he is really at Longmenguan, then we will definitely meet him when we go here."
Song Yingbai put one hand on his raised knee, and said emotionally: "I don't know how we will feel when we come back from Hell Well and see the sunset in the desert again?"
"Of course, everything is clear and refreshing." Li Zhen stood up with a smile, took out two blankets from the bag on the horse's back, threw one to Song Yingbai, and kept the other for himself, pointing to the cave, " It's getting late, let's rest."
Song Yingbai stood up and stretched, "After riding for a day, it's time to rest."
Putting the blanket on himself, bending over to add branches to the bonfire, let it burn vigorously, and drive away the night and the beast.
The sandstone cave was fairly large, and there was more than enough room for the two of them to lie down, with room for one more person in between.
Li Zhen saw that Song Yingbai turned his back to him as soon as he lay down, and said helplessly, "I said, wrap your blanket tightly, the desert gets cold at night."
Wrapped in a thick blanket, Song Yingbai replied with a smile with her eyes closed: "Don't worry, if I get cold, I'll grab your blanket." After speaking, Li Zhen didn't make a sound, so she looked back at him curiously, and saw that he was smiling but not a smile Looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to say something, but he held back for some reason.
"What do you want to say?" Song Yingbai squinted his eyes and asked, he was sure that it would not be a good word.
"I don't want to say anything." Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, lay down and turned his back to Song Yingbai, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
He originally wanted to say, if you want to be cold, get under my bed and I will hug you at night.
But this kind of words that completely expose oneself must not be said.
But when you think about it, it's very satisfying.

In the end, there was another moth, who actually disappeared while he was entering the palace.
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know, but someone saw it coming out of the back hall, went back to the room for a while, and then disappeared."
Yu Zongping had a bad premonition, because most of his magic weapons were enshrined in the back hall, and his disciples were usually not allowed to enter that place casually. Xie Zhongyu would never come out from there, and nothing good would happen.
He rushed to the place where the magic weapon was enshrined, but the magic weapon, Sinan, was nowhere to be seen.
Sinan can track down the whereabouts of the person he wants. Although it requires a certain level of skill, with Xie Zhongyu's level, he can completely master it.
Zhongyu looking for someone?Who is he looking for?But it doesn't matter anymore, this kid will definitely cause trouble when he goes out. Before the senior brother returned to Longhu Mountain, he told him to take good care of this guy. If something happened again, he couldn't explain it.
Yu Zongping was under the emperor's order and could not leave the capital, so he walked out of the hall and called his apprentice Liao Zhongfang to him: "Your brother Zhongyu is playful and has gone to nowhere, you go and chase him back for my teacher."
After finishing speaking, seeing a bunch of foxtails sprouting from the bottom of the wall in the corridor, he began to calculate Xie Zhongyu's whereabouts, and finally said: "In the northwest." The hand used for pinching pointed at the foxtails, then pulled it out and handed it to Liao Zhongfang, " Go, it will point to the direction where your brother Xie is, you just follow its guidance."
Liao Zhongfang was a little embarrassed, "What if he refuses to come back with me?"
Yu Zongping reluctantly pulled out a gold rope from his sleeve, and handed it to his apprentice without saying a word.
Liao Zhongfang understood, took the rope and the foxtail, went out without delay, and chased towards the northwest.
At this time, Xie Zhongyu, standing on the desolate hill, saw Sinan swinging in his hand, pointing in one direction.
After he was sure, he picked up Sinan, went down the hill, and ran forward quickly.
He believed that the uncle would send someone to chase him soon after he found out that he was missing, most likely it was Liao Zhongfang, the senior brother who is best at flying for thousands of miles, but he ran out a day earlier than him, and he was not too slow. Although it is urgent, it is not so easy for him to catch up with him.
Song Yingbai, you have to hold on, I'm here to save you.
-
After Song Yingbai woke up and looked at Li Zhen, he didn't know whether it was because he was hot from sleep or what happened, the blanket on his body was gone.
Looking again, it turned out that it was covering himself.
Although Song Yingbai knew that this guy had an unusual physique, but now he has witnessed it firmly, and he still admires it from the bottom of his heart.
He sat up and folded the blanket, when Li Zhen heard the noise, opened his eyes and looked at him, "When did you wake up?"
"Aren't you cold? I've been covered with blankets." Song Yingbai said.
"I saw you shrink into a ball in the middle of the night, and I'm not too cold," Li Zhen said lightly, "Anyway, I don't need it, and you need it, so I'll cover it for you."
Song Yingbai was a little embarrassed, "Aren't you cold?"
"It's not cold. There's still a blanket on the horse's back. If I'm cold, I'll get it again. Don't take it seriously. It's dawn, let's get some hot food, let's go."
Song Yingbai couldn't help but feel guilty, and took the initiative to say: "You rest, I'll go to heat up the meal." After finishing speaking, Maoyao walked out of the cave.
Li Zhen looked at his back, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and he smiled triumphantly.
After eating, the two immediately packed their bags and set off again towards their final destination.
Longmen Pass has been a frontier fortress since ancient times, but because of frequent invasions by foreigners, a large number of civilians migrated inward.
, there is only a narrow path leading to the distance, and the surrounding area has long been covered by yellow sand, and even when the wind is a little stronger, even the path is covered with sand and dust, looming.
Wu Shiheng, the owner of the Mirror Demon, must have been lost in the yellow sand... Song Yingbai hadn't seen a building in front of him for a long time, so he didn't feel a little worried. It's true that the hell well is at Longmenguan, but if it's so easy to find, it won't be called so much Return in defeat.
The key now is to find the inn that Xiao Zhuge saw.
The clue should be in the inn.
The wind blows the sand like flowing gold.Song Yingbai kept staring ahead, "Li Zhen, we can reach Longmen Pass this evening, so the inn we saw can only be inside Longmen Pass, so we don't have to wait until night to find this inn."
Li Zhen pointed to the front, "I have already seen a looming small building."
But Song Yingbai didn't see anything, but Li Zhen said he saw it, so there must be, "How far is it?"
"A few hundred feet, it will be soon."
Song Yingbai breathed a sigh of relief, thank God.He raised the reins, put his legs on the horse's belly, "It's close in front of us." Soon, the wind and sand slowly dissipated, and a dilapidated two-story building appeared in front of his eyes, with a flag fluttering in the wind hanging in front of the door.
It has not been washed all year round, and the words on the flag are so torn that it is almost impossible to read.
Song Yingbai thought to himself, it seems that what they saw should be the scene imprinted in Xiao Zhuge's mind when he left. At that time, the flag was still new, and the writing on it could still be seen.
They got off their horses, tied them up, and Li Zhen stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there?"
"Here we come, here we come." The door opened quickly, and a fat guy warmly invited them in, "Come on, two, it's windy and sandy. In fact, it was a good day two days ago. Here in our place, the weather changes as it says.”
Li Zhen and Song Yingbai stepped in, and saw that the tables and chairs in the lobby were neatly arranged, the floor was tidy, and several diners were eating.
"Do you want to stay in the hotel?" The fat guy asked with a smile, "Daijian has good food and drink. I just killed a sheep this morning. It would be better to stay in the hotel. The upper room is empty."
Song Yingbai looked around the lobby, and saw that this was an ordinary hotel, both the interior furnishings and the service of the store were the same as elsewhere.
In addition to the fat man, there was also a skinny guy serving wine to the diners.
On the counter next to the door, there was a dozing accountant, in his fifties, wearing a green shirt and with a goatee.
The important reminder of the location of the Hellwell is so unremarkable.
It might be hidden deep enough, though.
Seeing that the two people in front of him didn't answer, the fat guy asked again with a smile, and Li Zhencai said: "Stay in the hotel, lead us to the guest room first."
The fat man said to the thin man, "Come here quickly and carry the luggage for the guest officer."
The skinny guy responded, put down the tray, ran over, enthusiastically unloaded all the luggage that Song Yingbai and Li Zhen had put on the horse's back, and walked upstairs with them.
In order to ensure safety at night, the two of them decided to share a room, so that they could take care of each other in case of a situation.
In this place where people are unfamiliar and where matters are of great importance, there must be no mistakes.
When he got to the guest room, the fat man wiped his sweat and said, "I brought all the luggage for you."
Song Yingbai rewarded them with a small amount of money, "We will stay here, and we will settle the shop money together when we leave. Alright, let's go down."
The fat man and the thin man happily went down with the money in their hands. After closing the door, Song Yingbai looked at the room vigilantly.
Li Zhen also checked the inside of the cabinet, under the bed, and on the roof of the shed. After confirming that there was no problem, she nodded to Song Yingbai.
It is said to be a room for two people, but it is actually a big heated kang that can accommodate two people, separated by a kang table in the middle, and an aisle.
Song Yingbai sat on the side of the kang table and said in a low voice, "I don't see anything unusual."
Li Zhen sat across from him, "The picture we saw is definitely not wrong, it is here. As for how to find and open the hell well, I believe there must be clues in this inn."
Song Yingbai nodded, "Anyway, we have plenty of time, so there's no rush."
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, it's been half a year. I don't believe that the two of us can't find out the secret of this store."
Song Yingbai agreed very much, and after chatting for a while, he got up and called Xiao Er for hot water, washed off the wind and sand on his face, and went downstairs to eat with Li Zhen.
There are plenty of food and drinks, just after the meal time, the people who ate just now have disappeared, and the fat and thin people are idle.
Song Yingbai inquired like a normal chat: "Is the business okay? I think there are quite a lot of customers."
"That's the way we are in this place where the birds don't shit. It all depends on the nearby garrison to support the business. They often come out to buy wine and meat to eat. Otherwise, just relying on the few pedestrians passing by, this shop would have closed long ago." Fatty While wiping the table, he said.
Li Zhen said: "It can be seen that the wine flag outside your store has been hanging for some years, and this store has been open for a long time, too."
"Then I don't know." The fat man said, "I've only been here for a year."
The thin man smiled and said: "Our store has been open for many years, but the boss has changed a few times, of course I heard about it. But think about it, if the garrison wants to drink and eat meat, someone will open a store to supply it." them."
Song Yingbai asked casually: "Who is the shopkeeper now? Why don't you see anyone else?"
The fat man said: "Our shopkeeper Wu has sent wine to the garrison, and we won't be back until tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Wu?Wu Ning?
Song Yingbai glanced at the accountant at the counter from the corner of his eye, and saw him standing there in a daze with his sleeves in his hands, like a tumbler.
Song Yingbai went upstairs to rest after having dinner with Li Zhen.
At this time, the wind and sand outside were gradually beating, and the sound of sand beating could be heard from the windows from time to time.
"Don't tell me, the hell well is the well used for cooking in the back kitchen of this inn." Song Yingbai half-jokingly said: "In that case, I will have to vomit old blood."
"Then let's sneak out at night, after everyone is asleep, and check it out." Li Zhen said, "Take a good look at the details of this store."
Song Yingbai agreed, and waited for the night to spy on the news.
In the evening, when it was time to eat, the two of them came to the lobby. This time, there was only a young man as a diner, and all the guests they met earlier were gone.
Song Yingbai asked the fat guy, "Why are there so few people?"
"Oh, you said that group of people at noon, they are businessmen who bought goods from outside the customs, they had a meal at the top, and left early."
Song Yingbai said oh, and sat at a table in the corner with Li Zhen, and saw a young man eating a few tables away. He was average in appearance, but his appearance was high, his waist was straight, and he even ate his meals in a rigid manner. Yes, he has a strong body, and he has some kung fu at first glance.
When the man missed his observation and glanced sideways, Song Yingbai looked away and complained to Li Zhen: "I'm not used to the wine here, after drinking it at noon, my head still hurts a bit. "
Li Zhen smiled and said, "You really can't drink."
The young man glanced at them both and continued eating.
At this time, the fat guy brought the sauced mutton bones and mutton soup, and put them on their table, "Guests take it easy."
Song Yingbai just picked up the spoon to scald it, and before he put it in his mouth, he heard the door panel slam, and someone outside shouted angrily: "Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"
The skinny guy ran away, and took the bolt of the door away. In an instant, it was unknown whether it was the wind or the people outside the door. The two doors were all opened, and then a dozen men came in one after another.
The dozing accountant finally woke up, rubbed his eyelids, and found that the other party was a dozen menacing people, he shrank his neck and hid in a corner.
And the two fellows, the fat man and the thin man, couldn't figure out the purpose of this group of people, so they watched them nervously,
Li Zhen glanced at it, frowned and said, "It's from Dongchang."
At first glance, Song Yingbai didn't know these people, but after Li Zhen's reminder, he took a closer look and saw a familiar person from inside. It was Xu Jing who met the centipede before.
He walked in the farthest position, with a serious expression and a calm face.
He was blinded by Song Yingbai in one eye, and now the eye socket is filled with a prosthetic eye. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it's fake, but if you concentrate for a while, you will find that his right eye can't move. No emotion either.
Song Yingbai secretly rejoiced that Xu Jing didn't know he did it when they were wearing human skin masks.
However, even if Xu Jing was not considered, the sudden arrival of so many people from Dongchang couldn't handle it.
It must be too late to escape, and it is impossible to escape.
Although I don't know what the people from Dongchang are here for, it is obvious that it is definitely not a good thing to run into them here. If they don't know where the Hell Well is, they will cause big trouble.
Or, they also came from the well of hell?
At this time, a member of Dongchang walked up to the young man who was eating, looked at him carefully, and asked, "Where is this little brother from, and where is he going?"
"I'm from here, and I want to go to a place beyond your control." The young man said with a bad temper.
"You!" Fanzi slapped the table angrily.
At this time, Scalp Shaotang shook his head at him, so he had no choice but to go back to everyone.
Pi Shaotang walked towards this young man himself, but suddenly found another person who surprised him even more.
Isn't this Li Zhen, the commander of Jin Yiwei?
I saw Li Zhen sitting behind a table, facing him, looking at them expressionlessly.
His first reaction was that he must leave here immediately, the plan was exposed.
Pi Shaotang's face was ashen, but after another thought, if Li Zhen planned to sabotage their plan, he would not be alone. He might have other purposes for coming here.
Besides, they made such a big noise when they came in just now, he must have spotted them.
Pi Shaotang stepped forward bravely, "Ah, why did you come here? This is too coincidental."
Song Yingbai raised his eyes to look at this man, saw that he was in his forties, he was born with a pair of squinted eyes, and when he smiled, his eyes were crooked and exposed.
Li Zhen stood up and cupped her fists, "Yes, it's a coincidence."
Pi Shaotang said embarrassingly: "I'll bring these monkey cubs to do something."
Li Zhen smiled, "I'm also here to handle errands, but seeing how many people you have brought, it must be a big deal."
Pi Shaotang was at a loss. If Li Zhen didn't intend to destroy their plan, what would he do in the desert? Suddenly he glanced at the man beside Li Zhen, and couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this Song Yingbai?
He is Li Zhen's friend, and he is somewhat famous. He has never met him, but he recognizes him.
Li Zhen and Song Yingbai asked for leave, but ended up traveling here together?
It has long been rumored that the relationship between the two of them is unusual, and that there is a suspicion of broken sleeves, which seems to be true.
With a subtle expression of knowing the secret, Pi Shaotang looked at Song Yingbai with a smile and said, "Is this a private matter?"
As soon as Song Yingbai saw the "obscene and ambiguous" eyes, he knew that the other party had used his associations again to make him and Li Zhen a pair, and he might even plan to use their relationship as a handle.
Li Zhen touched Song Yingbai lightly under the table.
Song Yingbai understood, and they were speculating and probing each other, not sure whether the other party knew their true intentions.
At this time, whoever can disturb the heartstrings of the other party will have a greater chance of winning.
There are some things that Li Zhen can't say. After all, he's an official and has always been calm. He can only play the role of "leaking the mouth".
Song Ying rolled her eyes, clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with Pi Shaotang, stood up on the table, and hummed to Li Zhen: "I've been misunderstood every time, I won't accompany you, anyway, people have arrived as scheduled." Said After finishing, he seemed to realize that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly covered his mouth, his eyes flustered.
Li Zhen immediately "gouged" him a hard look, and said angrily, "Go upstairs!"
Song Yingbai lowered his head and slipped upstairs.
Li Zhen smiled dryly at Pi Shaotang: "He's like this, he's not big or small all day long, don't take it to heart." After speaking, he turned to chase Song Yingbai.
Pi Shaotang looked at their backs and broke out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that they were waiting for themselves!
Otherwise, how could Song Yingbai say "Everyone has arrived as scheduled." This sentence.
Plan slipped?
Li Zhen followed Song Yingbai into the room, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and whispered in his ear: "What you said just now is so good, it's enough for Lao Pi to think about it all night."
