Chapter 441 Young Lu Ke
rain.
The sky was dark and it was raining heavily outside the camp.
The area enclosed by railings was huge, but there were only a few tents, and it was even more lonely inside.
It obviously looks like a very important military base, but there are no guards at all.
It seems that there is no need for general at all.
"Take, take, take!"
From far away, a man dressed in red came flying through the rain.
Look at that appearance, he is a young man.
"Luke is here?"
Lan Ling, one of the only two figures in the main tent, sat down in front of the wooden table.
This is a woman in red, with her eyebrows lowered at the moment, and she is carefully studying the large formation plate on the table.
"good."
Xin looked back at the window.
He also looked at the super large formation plate on the table.
This thing not only occupies most of the wooden table on the horizontal plane, but is also as tall as half a person.
Thirty-six levels of nested structure.
Xin said that after just one look, he felt like he was about to faint.
I really don’t know how these spiritual formation masters can study this thing...
Aren't you bald?
"Any progress?"
Xin touched Tu Lulu's head and asked.
"That's it."
Lan Ling smoothed the black hair on his forehead, frowned and raised his face.
This is a pretty face with very delicate makeup, a beautiful nose and eyebrows, and a skin as white as snow.
The only regret is that even though there is a lot of rouge on the outside of her eye sockets, her dark circles seem not to be completely covered up.
"Sure enough, you still have to pay some price..."
There is a little comfort in the faith.
Lan Ling took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then asked: "Aren't Vigilante and the others back yet?"
"It should be soon."
"There are more than ten counties and hundreds of cities near Baiku. It takes a lot of energy to release the news one by one in these few days."
"By the way..."
Xin replied with a sudden pause.
Looking at Lan Ling's gaze, he said: "Given the Linglong Stone and the stowaways... Who would really take the bait for such an obvious bait? Are they all so stupid?"
"As long as we are in the extra-dimensional space, even mosquitoes can't fly in."
Lan Ling laughed when he heard this, stood up and bowed.
The red robe instantly outlined her figure incisively and vividly, making it neither convex nor concave when it should be, plain and ordinary, ordinary and indifferent.
Xin's face was calm. He stared at Lan Ling like an ancient monk and took a breath before waiting for a reply.
"Wouldn't it be better to make the bait more obvious?"
"If it is really a seamless plan, maybe the think tanks of those big families can come up with something."
"But now because it's so obvious, everyone can see the temptation."
"If there are loopholes, then someone will look into it, right?"
Lan Ling adjusted her red robe, paused and said:
"But what if the investigation is in the wrong direction?"
"Currently, everyone's time and energy are limited, and by the time they discover their mistake, they will be unable to turn back."
"And if you really don't notice anything, when these individuals feel that the analysis is almost done, they will fall into the trap."
"Am I right?"
Lan Ling stepped to the window, reached out with her bare hands, and touched the pattering raindrops outside.
"I know."
Xin rolled his eyes in confusion, "This is a strategy."
"Um."
Lan Ling stared at the running figure in the distance and asked, "How many layers can you see?"
"Oh, this is awesome."
Xin smiled conceitedly: "This time, with your explanation, I can see the third layer."
"One layer is bait, one layer is our layout, and another layer..."
He chuckled and whispered: "I know you guys who are playing with your brains must have another level. Even if it is studied by others, the final result they get is still wrong."
With a raised eyebrow, the letter seemed to be inviting praise, "What I said is good, right?"
"good."
Lan Ling nodded with a smile.
From the very beginning, he had no intention of really making it clear to this guy with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.
To deceive... well, just to prevaricate, that's all.
She could make it clear, but the key was that if this guy heard the whole plan, he would be even more confused.
I can see this layer...
to be honest.
Really good.
After all, no regression is the best progress in itself.
"Leaving aside the big family forces, how many ghost beast bodies have been found in the past few days?" Lan Ling asked.
Xin looked solemn, took out a lot of jade slips from the ring, and placed them on the windowsill with a clatter.
"There are quite a lot of them. There are 17 suspected ones, and they are still being watched."
He casually picked up one of the jade slips.
"Do you want to take a look at the information?"
Lan Ling shook his head and said, "Where is your intuition?"
Everyone in Hongyi performs his or her own duties, and the division of labor is extremely clear.
She was responsible for the overall arrangements, and other people must have taken care of those things for the battle.
And letter is such a special existence.
Of course, he can use Hong Yi's inspection methods to identify people who are suspected of being possessed by ghost beasts.
But only those who truly know the inside story know that Xin’s absolute ability is intuition!
Just like a natural enemy, this guy can tell at a glance which one is the body of a ghost beast simply by relying on intuition, even without verification.
Such a ridiculous ability, which is similar to cheating, would not exist in a rigorous organization like Hongyi.
But countless battles in the past have verified how terrifying Xin's intuition is.
The accuracy of this guy's identification ability alone is as high as 60%!
"sixty……"
Lan Ling felt a little scary every time he thought about this.
Ghost beast host, what a terrifying existence it is!
Even with Hong Yi's screening method, except for those who searched for the first time in another dimension, they could reach a height of close to sixty.
In the human world, after learning to hide the body of ghost beasts, Hong Yi's method has an accuracy rate of only 78%.
Not even ten.
Let alone sixty!
"What my gut says."
Xin hesitated for a moment, then eliminated the other jade slips, leaving only four of them.
"Four ghost beasts?"
Lan Ling's pupils shrank.
This amount was something she had never expected.
Not too little, but too much!
After all, in every action, their target is basically the same.
Xin nodded.
"Yes, this time, the situation is probably a bit serious."
"The guy in the White Cave was still run away after the last expedition. This shows how terrifying his strength is."
"It is absolutely impossible for Xu Yue Gray Palace to let such a strong person go."
"I don't even have to think about it, I'm sure they will send someone to contact me."
"And this time the White Cave is opened, as my mother space, the guy who sealed it is bound to come back again."
"Perhaps before the White Cave opens, the two parties can detect each other and conduct preliminary communication."
Lan Ling was silent for a long time.
She had expected this situation, so it was not unexpected.
But just because it's expected doesn't mean it's not tricky.
On the contrary, if these ghost beast bodies form an alliance before the opening of the White Cave, Hong Yi's mission will be even more difficult.
but……
Lan Ling raised the corners of her lips.
This time, their purpose is not as simple as simply hunting ghost beasts.
"In the eighth palace?"
She said the term suddenly.
There was a look of shock in Xin's eyes.
"As expected of Miss Lan Ling, she is so smart!"
"I haven't even said yet..."
"Key point." Lan Ling knocked on the window sill.
"Oh."
Xin immediately became serious: "It is true that most of these guys have appeared in the Eighth Palace, but so far, there has been no contact with them."
"I've been watching, don't worry, if there is an inexplicable intersection, then..."
Lan Ling suddenly interrupted: "There's no need to act rashly."
"Um?"
Xin asked in astonishment: "What?"
"plan."
Lan Ling's simple words made Xin suddenly understand.
"Okay, then we should follow the original plan and put them all into the white cave no matter what?"
"Yes."
Lanling thought for a long time before adding: "Including those who have experienced the power of the big families, as well as stowaways."
Xin frowned.
He always felt that the latter two were redundant.
Can……
"plan?"
"plan."
"All right……"
He reluctantly picked up one of the jade slips.
With a touch of hand, the void becomes a curtain of light.
Inside the light curtain, there is a woman in a white dress. Her face cannot be seen clearly, but it is very obvious that she is holding a small copper stove in her right hand.
"Creating objects."
Lan Ling's eyes quickly focused on the small copper stove.
"right."
Channel: "Theoretically, she shouldn't be so obvious, but..."
"Remember the breath, pay attention to the disguise, and the sudden disappearance of the sign movement, don't be fooled." Lan Ling said flatly.
The letter showed a sign of understanding.
Yes, it is indeed possible.
"It's okay, I know." He assured, patting his chest.
"Your subordinates know." Lan Ling smiled sweetly and completed the supplement.
Xin's face turned dark immediately.
Indeed, his mission is to fight on the front line after it is confirmed that it is the body of a ghost beast.
These identification and judgment matters are all the work of others.
"Give me some face..."
"Next one." Lan Ling didn't hesitate at all.
Xin did not continue to the next one, but pointed to the light curtain and said: "I suspect that she is the one we fought against before."
At this moment, Lan Ling's little movement of knocking on the window sill froze.
She seemed to see again the weak red-clothed people who collapsed everywhere after the long battle, turning into powerless men.
The power of the seal at that time was really terrifying!
If it weren't for the power of the rules of the small world, it would be difficult for people like them to come out alive.
Even so, the number of red clothes who died in that battle was still extremely considerable.
"you sure?"
There was even a hint of trembling in Lan Ling's words.
"uncertain."
Xin shook his head.
"It's so obvious. This woman took action several times, and every time it was clearly the power of the seal. I doubted it was it."
Lan Ling lowered her eyelids and began to think deeply.
"Keep an eye on it."
She did not make a decisive conclusion.
"I... my subordinates know."
Xin nodded.
He put down the jade slips and touched the remaining three.
"In addition to the one just now, there are three other guys who look very weird. I guess they are not easy."
With a wave of his hand, three men appeared on the three light screens.
"It's ordinary..."
Lan Ling murmured.
Just looking at the light curtain, it was indeed difficult for her to see anything.
"Yes, it is indeed ordinary."
Xin glanced at her up and down and said, "I can just keep an eye on these few. You may have to be careful about the one who is suspected to be sealed."
"And..."
He paused for a moment, and his hand touched the fifth jade slip hesitantly.
"The fifth head?"
Lan Ling's heart tightened.
Is the number this time too much?
"Not sure."
Xin hesitated and said, "She can't see anything at all. I really just rely on intuition."
"But if it is really a ghost beast, this guy must have been specially cultivated by Xuyue Gray Palace. It is too well hidden..."
"Hesitating."
Lan Ling interrupted him and wiped it directly. The light curtain appeared.
If it wasn't for intuition, she wouldn't want to look!
At just one glance, Lan Ling's eyes were straight.
On the light curtain, a woman with a very hot figure in a gray robe appeared.
It can be seen that if this loose grey robe is worn on oneself, it can definitely hide a person in front.
But on this woman, there are actually silk strips that only appear when the clothes are tightened!
"This..."
Lan Ling was stunned for a long time, and said decisively: "She must be a ghost beast!"
Xin: "..."
He also knew that the appearance of this woman might hit sister Lan Ling, but it should be more than that, right?
"Too much, red clothes should not act on impulse."
"Women's intuition!"
"Your intuition is unreliable."
"But yours is reliable!"
Xin: "..."
He silently closed the light curtain, "I'm watching her."
"Keep an eye on her!"
Lan Ling was reluctant to leave.
...
"Master Xin, sister Lan Ling!"
The window sill whistled, and the red clothes running wildly in the rain finally flashed through the window with a shout.
The rain was thrown away by the momentum and immediately sprinkled all over the ground, and even the thirty-six-layer nested structure of the large spirit formation was also sprinkled a lot.
Lan Ling frowned.
"Can't you pay attention?"
"Hehe."
The young Lu Ke showed an apologetic smile on his face, but it was only for a moment, and he retorted: "I don't have as powerful spiritual energy as you, and I can't fly, so naturally I can't drain the rain."
"You can't fly a sword?"
Xin slapped this guy on the head.
"Ouch."
Lu Ke hugged his head and shrank, "Isn't it cold to fly a sword? I don't fly!"
Two people: "..."
Cold?
What a funny word!
But this guy really has no spiritual energy, so there is no way to refute.
"Your existence is simply a sully to the face of Wuyue Sword Immortal."
Xin rolled his eyes.
"Fortunately, fortunately, my master still likes me very much, and said that he will come to see me when the White Cave is opened." Lu Ke laughed.
"Come?"
Lan Ling and Xin were shocked, "Your master is coming?"
"Uh..."
Lu Ke was shocked by the strong reaction of the two, "I, I'm not sure, he just said it's possible."
"Why?"
Xin slapped his forehead, "Not really, this is just a white cave, why would Wu Yue Sword Immortal come here?"
"Maybe because of 'having four swords'?"
Lu Ke speculated, "After all, he also fought with the Eight Lords in the past. If he could get the four swords, it would be a good destination."
Lan Ling and Xin looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
This may be the only junior in the East Region who dares to call the Eighth Sword Immortal by name.
This disrespectful title, but even the two of them dare not say it easily!
But it is true.
He has the qualifications.
"It shouldn't be just the four swords."
Lan Ling paced and hesitated for a while, pondering: "If your master is coming, the white clothes led by him will definitely make some moves."
"But, what will it be?"
"Does it require Wu Yue Sword Immortal to come in person?"
Xin suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Saint Slave?"
Lan Ling's steps paused, slowly turned back, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes.
"When did your brain work?"
She clapped her hands.
"Yes, didn't Saint Slave make a big deal in Tiansang Ling Palace recently?"
"Listening to the resignation letter submitted by the dean of the Ling Palace to the Holy Spirit Hall, it seems that even the Way of Slashing has appeared. Maybe the policy of letting things go back then really raised a tiger to cause trouble?"
"But, it's not just the Way of Slashing!"
Lu Ke felt guilty when he heard it, and he ducked and said: "I only said it's possible, it's not certain, don't push it randomly."
He was really afraid that if his master didn't come, the two guys in front of him would directly roast him on the fire.
After all, there are precedents.
"Maybe it's not just what the Saint Slave has done recently."
Xin was praised, but he didn't feel proud. Instead, he continued to speculate: "After all, this is the White Cave. The Wuxiu·Chijiao Hand seems to have been practiced here."
"If I remember correctly, it was many years ago that the only time Wuyue Sword Immortal failed seemed to be when he destroyed the Saint Slave stronghold in the Central Region."
"The second in command ran away."
"At that time, Shouye was still a subordinate of Wuyue Sword Immortal, right?"
Lu Ke was stunned.
Senior Shouye was actually a subordinate of his master?
"Interesting, interesting..."
Lan Ling listened in rapt attention and suddenly reacted, "Something's wrong with you today. Why are you so smart?"
"Hehe, I'm not stupid, it's just that you guys are too smart." Shiba grinned happily.
"There's something wrong with you."
Lan Ling squinted and suddenly said: "Three, seven, two, six, four, five, one!"
"Forehead."
Xin's smile suddenly froze.
This also needs to be verified?
I'm really not stupid!
He said helplessly: "Four four eight six six nine six."
"puff!"
Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Because you are too smart, you are suspected of being possessed by a ghost or beast?
Master Xin is really too stupid!
Before he could hide his smile, Xin was already staring at him fiercely, and threw his big hand over his shoulder, making him grimace in pain.
"Three three two two one one one!"
Lu Ke: "..."
"What did I do wrong that I have to be tested?"
"You just came back from outside." Xin glared.
"One, one, two, three, three, nine."
Lu Ke is autistic.
Every time he recited the "Modern of Life", he always felt that it was a very shameful thing.
Although it is said that after being banned by the most powerful Tianji technique of Dao Qiongang, the contemporary master of the Holy Temple.
Even if the semi-saint comes, he can't decipher or read the "life motto" deep in the red soul.
But the content of this setting...
"Why can't Uncle Dao change the order to a higher level when he came up with this 'life motto'? It must be numbers?" Lu Ke was helpless.
"Isn't it good to use it?"
Seeing that this guy was not possessed by a ghost beast, Xin immediately hummed.
…
"What do you want from us?"
Lan Ling opened her white teeth lightly: "You wouldn't rush all the way here just to complain about it, right?"
At this question, Lu Ke's originally cheerful expression suddenly turned a little serious.
When he fell silent, the two people in the tent were also silent.
The sound of raindrops outside the window suddenly became quite noisy.
Lan Ling's eyes narrowed.
Could this kid have discovered something else?
"Why did you let those innocent people into the white cave?" Lu Ke finally said.
really.
Lan Ling understood immediately.
Lu Ke didn't believe it. This guy's understanding was extraordinary, otherwise he wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by Wuyue Sword Immortal.
but.
"You are not at the right level, so you have no right to know." Lan Ling said coldly.
"Sister, I saw it!"
Lu Ke's words were full of indignation: "What is that under the Thirty-Six Heavenly Sealing Wu Formation?"
"You have no right to know."
"The Great Dragon Blood Platform, that is a heavenly sacrifice, a heavenly sacrifice!"
Lu Ke sneered and said: "Do you really think I don't know? I saw this thing from Uncle Dao when I was a child, but how can you use it in the White Cave? That is not for human use!"
Lan Ling's eyes darkened.
It turned out that I realized it when I was a child.
"You have no right to know." Her reply was still cold.
"I……"
Lu Ke was choked.
Xin was also confused by the conversation between the two people.
"What kind of dragon blood platform, what kind of heavenly sacrifice?"
Just as he was about to speak, Lan Ling stopped him.
"Letter, give it away."
"I do not go!"
Lu Ke said angrily: "Those people are innocent and cannot die. The blood on Hong Yi's body can only be contributed by ghost beasts!"
The movement of delivering the letter froze.
He is indeed not stupid.
He had also asked about Lu Ke's doubts just now, and Lan Ling's answer was a strategy.
So, is this the plan?
"Extreme measures?"
Xin slightly dropped his shoulders, as if his whole body was weak.
Is it time to resort to extreme measures again?
However, it is indeed true!
That sealed ghost beast and the gray mist man probably wouldn't be able to defeat them just by relying on the red-coated combat power or the human sea tactics without using extreme measures.
Lu Ke was still shouting something loudly in his ears, but Lan Ling remained silent.
Xin looked back slightly and looked out the window.
It was still dark and raining.
Even the air is slightly cold.
Sometimes, Xin also doubts whether Hongyi is really just.
This idea came to him when he participated in extreme actions for the first time.
But when he saw those ordinary people who died tragically due to the ravages of ghost beasts, the compassion in their bodies still told him that he really needed to do more.
"In the final analysis, it's just that the strength is not enough."
"If I can kill ghost beasts instantly, if I can... what other extreme measures are needed?"
In Xin's mind, the only remaining captain's head appeared after the extreme action.
At that time, blood was still spurting from his neck, but his words were unforgettable.
"Justice always comes with a price."
Yes.
Xin clenched his fists and raised his shoulders.
Without the sacrifice of a few people, where can there be true peace?
"Master Xin!"
Memories are broken.
Lu Ke's roar came.
"Please tell me something. You taught me that the blood on Hong Yi's body can only be contributed by ghost beasts!"
"letter."
Lan Ling is just one word.
Xin looked at the young man whose blood was surging and his face was red, as if he saw himself back then.
Once upon a time, he also had such a firm and resolute belief.
But after the extreme action, everything was shattered.
Then.
Believe, be more determined!
"Lu Ke, you have to leave."
Xin picked up the young man and walked towards the tent gate.
Lu Ke froze.
He could see that Master Xin also understood something.
But why didn't he stop him?
"Master Xin!"
Bang!
Xin threw Lu Ke to the ground, and the rain washed down, soaking the boy again.
"You are wrong!"
"You are wrong..."
Lu Ke's anger seemed to have cooled down, from roaring to weak whispers, shaking his head uncontrollably.
Xin closed his eyes and let the rain wash over him.
It seemed that this could wash away all sins.
"Let's go."
He finally waved his hand and explained very rarely: "You are still young and don't understand."
