Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Marshes Chapter 208: Unexpected Events
The Tianlong Sect did not stay in the big city for too long. It would have taken two days to complete the supplies for the long journey. Due to the Naoki family, everything was prepared within half a day.
After noon on the second day, Hall Master Jiao sent two people to stay in the other courtyard, while the rest walked out of the city and returned to the familiar ship.
The ship has not yet weighed anchor, but the disciples did not care. However, Meng Shan was a little anxious in Elder Jiang's room.
"Uncle Master, the followers of His Highness Prince Ping have all returned to the boat. Only Prince Ping Hong'an and his two followers have not been found since they landed with everyone yesterday. The disciples sent to search have also returned and have not seen the three of them. trace."
Elder Jiang sat on the couch, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "The city was in chaos yesterday, and unexpected things will inevitably happen. Send the disciples to continue searching. If we don't see him return tomorrow, we won't wait any longer!"
Elder Meng bowed and said yes. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Elder Jiang: "If something happens to Hong'an, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch him. He's just an idle prince. It's not my turn to go find him." . Besides, this ship is the basis for our travels. I won’t leave here easily. I’m afraid you’ll have to trouble him even more if you ask Lin Yi to come to my place!”
After half a stick of incense, Lin Yi walked out of Elder Jiang's room with a smile on his face, just because he had three more Qi Gathering Pills in his hand.
Elder Jiang didn't care about Lin at all, but he didn't want to give instructions in vain. He had previously promised to give him a gift. It turned out to be a Qi Gathering Pill that could only be used in the later stages of Qi training. Elder Xu Shijiang knew that there was no hope in his cultivation, so he reluctantly gave up his love. Qi Gathering Pills were regarded as treasures by disciples who were in the early stage of Qi training, and Lin Yi only got three pills from his ancestor Xuanyuan Zhenren. This is a great gift for him.
Walking onto the pier again, Lin Yi looked at Ji Tang and Yu Zixian who were following him, and said, "The direction Hong'an went to yesterday has been found out. I'll go search for it. You two can wait in the big city!"
"Lin Yi, wouldn't it be better if the three of you and I go together and we can take care of each other." Ji Tang thought for a while and said. The implication of Lin's words is self-evident, he and Yu Zi were a drag first.
"This..." Lin Yi was a little embarrassed. It might be convenient for the three of them to take care of each other, but it made him feel constrained.
"Junior brother Lin, forget it if you can't find the prince, you and I can just talk along the way!" Yu Zi laughed loudly, couldn't help but walk forward.
Seeing that the two were unwilling to leave, Lin Yiyi followed them through the big city and walked north.
The red sun was scorching above the head, and dust was everywhere on the dirt road underfoot. Before taking two steps, Yu Zi shouted impatiently: "It's so hot, it's impossible to use Qing Gong. Junior Brother Lin, when did you learn my inner Qing Gong? You yesterday The 'Nine Transformations of Dragon Movement' he performed is even better than my master!"
Ji Tang saw sweat on his forehead. He and Yu Zi had similar thoughts. Looking for three lost people in this unfamiliar place without a local guide is understandably difficult, and this is also a human endeavor. However, Elder Meng asked the two of them to follow Lin Yi. Could it be that he, Lin Yi, could find the person?
Hearing Yu Zi first mention the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Movement, Ji Tang became more interested and said: "The Nine Transformations of the Dragon Movement performed by Lin Yi is very wonderful. I wonder which master in the sect he should learn from?"
If it weren't for the two of them, Lin would have used the wind control technique and gone away early in the morning. Following the dirt road like this, he walked forward unsteadily. He was not looking for anyone. He was clearly just wandering around.
Seeing the two mentioning what happened yesterday, Lin Yi stopped, looked at the two behind him with a wry smile, and said: "I have seen Master Mu perform it before, but no one has taught it. What? Do you two still want to find someone?" ?”
Yu Zi smiled and shook his head. Apparently he didn't believe Lin Yi's answer. He grinned widely and said: "The language here is hard to understand. If you are not familiar with the place, where can you find that Hong'an? However, Junior Brother Lin is very good at Qinggong, can you? Let’s talk about it in detail so that we can learn from it.”
Seeing that the two of them were not very interested in finding people, but were very interested in his own martial arts, Lin Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Then you two will use Qing Kung together with me, and it's not too late to talk slowly!" Before he finished speaking, , regardless of the fact that there are still pedestrians on the dirt road, his body has floated gently, and he has gone far away. When Jitang and Yu Zixian saw this, they were eager to win and followed closely with their bodies.
When his consciousness is released, he can see everything within a radius of five or six miles. Moreover, there are many mountains here, the weather is very hot, and there are not many places where people can stay. According to reports from Hong'an's men, the three people got separated from the city yesterday and were heading north. It should not be difficult to find the three people. Lin Yi's actions were no different from those of Ji and Tang, they were just doing human things, not to mention he didn't have much favorable impressions of Hong'an. It's just that the personnel are different. Now that I have taken Elder Jiang's Qi Gathering Pill, I can't just do it half-heartedly.
Lin Yi deliberately kept his footing, causing Ji and Tang to chase after him, but they were still only two feet away and it was difficult to get close.
Running like this all the way, more than twenty miles went down in the blink of an eye. Lin Yi turned around and ran towards a big tree on the right side of the fork in front of the road.
There was a group of local people gathered under the big tree. In the open space among the crowd, there was a man lying on the ground. He was being supported by an old man and drinking water from an earthen jar in his hand. Seeing Lin Yi approaching, the crowd separated into lanes.
Lin Yi frowned and was silent in thought. Jitang and Yu Zixian arrived next, dripping with sweat. When they saw the people on the ground, Yu Zixian exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this Hong'an?"
The man on the ground was dressed in light silk that was stained with dust and had several cracks on it; his face was also stained with stains, and his beaded hair crown only had a ribbon but no beads, and he looked miserable. Seeing that it was Lin Yi and the others, he struggled to sit up in surprise and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Are these three good brothers here to save me?"
Ji Tang walked forward, thanked the old man, helped Hong An up and said, "The three of us came just looking for you. Are you okay? How could you come here and become like this? Also, Where are your two followers?"
Hong'an's tears came first without saying a word, and he choked up and said to Jitang: "Thank you three good brothers. I'm fine. It's just a fright. I drank some water and I'm much better. Alas! It's hard to explain in words! If it weren't for the three of you, I came here because I was afraid that you and I would never see each other again."
Yu Zi first persuaded the people who were watching to leave. Hong'an took out some gold leaves from his arms and scattered them. The locals left happily. There were only four of them left under the big tree.
"Hong'an, there's no need to be sad, just say it slowly!" Ji Tang asked Hong'an to sit down again. He picked up the earthen pot without being polite, drank a few gulps, and ran down in one breath. He was exhausted, so he just took this opportunity. Take a break.
"Give me a drink, I'm exhausted. Junior Brother Lin, why don't you even sweat?" Yu Zi sat down first and asked for the earthen pot in Ji Tang's hand. He saw Lin Yichen was calm and looked as usual, surprised. cried the ground.
Lin Yi ignored Yu Zixian, put his hands behind his back, looked at Hong An quietly and asked, "Mr. Hong, is it because something happened between Hong Bao and Bai Qianchuan that you are like this?"
Hong'an wiped his tears and said pitifully:
"Thank you Brother Lin for your inquiry. Here's what happened. Yesterday you and I went into the city together. We found a restaurant to have a drink. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos in the city. It was rumored that everyone in the Shang Kingdom was going to be killed. My guards blocked the harassment. The locals, Hongbao and Bai Qianchuan, protected me and fled. The retreat was blocked by the soldiers, but Hongbao still wanted to retreat. Fortunately, Bai Qianchuan protected me loyally and told me that Hongbao had evil intentions, so I followed Bai Qianchuan. If so, go out of the city to take shelter first.
When I was about to leave the city, I encountered soldiers chasing me, so I had no choice but to flee along the way. After arriving here, we hid in a farmhouse in the countryside for the night, hoping to return at dawn. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Hongbao wanted to capture me and sacrifice me to the Fusu people, but Bai Qianchuan found out. Hongbao said that Bai Qianchuan wanted to plot against me. The two of them argued endlessly, and during the fight, I escaped alone. Late at night, he panicked and fell into a mountain stream. He finally climbed out, but couldn't find the way he came. He was so hungry that he fainted on the roadside, but was rescued by a group of mountain people. Fortunately, they don't know my identity, and you are waiting to find me. Oh my god, my life in Hong'an should not be cut off! "
After the three of them listened to Hong An's words, they realized that it was caused by a chaos yesterday.
Ji Tang and Yu Zixian looked at each other and looked at Lin Yi together. They secretly thought that as long as they found this Hong'an, no one wanted to ask more about whether his followers were right or wrong.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "You stay here for a while, I'll go look for them!" Without saying a word, he ignored Hong An and jumped up, already twenty feet away. Ji Tang and Yu Zi looked first, and there was only a faint figure left in the distance.
The two shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Only then did they realize that Lin Yi was deliberately letting them go when they came all the way.
While Hong An was speaking, Lin Yi had found Hong Bao and Bai Qianchuan in his consciousness. After galloping four or five miles eastward, in a dry mountain stream, two men covered in blood were fighting desperately.
Hongbao held a bright silver sword and slashed towards Bai Qianchuan like the wind. Bai Qianchuan, however, had no weapons in his hands, but he was wearing a pair of gold-threaded gloves. He did not dodge the incoming long knife, clawing at it with five fingers, tearing the opponent's clothes to pieces with a sharp whistling sound.
Hongbao dodged and grunted, his clothes torn into pieces were filled with red, and the long knife in his hand slashed Bai Qianchuan's arm, causing sparks to fly.
Obviously, Bai Qianchuan's arm was also covered with something invulnerable. The long knife was powerful and heavy, and even though it couldn't cut into his arm, it still made Bai Qianchuan scream in pain. His eyes were cold and his face was ferocious, and he waved his arms to get close to him.
"You two have had enough fighting!"
Lin Yi stood on a rock nearby and saw the two of them fighting endlessly without noticing his arrival, so he shouted coldly.
The two of them were startled and quickly jumped away.
"Brother Lin came just in time. This Hongbao is carrying the master, please help me capture him!" Bai Qianchuan shouted with surprise on his face.
Hongbao didn't have time to speak to Lin Yi and angrily yelled: "You fart, you are trying to plot against His Highness. Instead, you shouted "Catch the thief, I will kill you!"
Hongbao's silver sword was raised and struck at the head of Bai Qianchuan.
"Hmph! It's been half a day, why don't I still stand still! If you want to kill me, come and do it!" Bai Qianchuan misplaced his arms, turned around, dodged Hongbao's long knife, and took the opportunity to punch him in the waist. .
Hongbao's long sword failed but he was not in a hurry. He flipped his wrist and the long sword suddenly slashed against his body. Bai Qianchuan was so frightened that he jumped back. The wind of the sword passed over his shoulder and a string of blood beads burst out.
Bai Qianchuan grinned in pain again, with murderous intent in his eyes. Just as he was about to press his body close to Hongbao to kill, he suddenly felt the wind tightening around him, and someone had pinched his neck. Immediately, the meridians all over his body went numb, and then he rose into the air. , fell several feet away.
