Chapter 121 Qu Liang
Li Motang pondered carefully: "Quzhou is a bit far away. The nearest place is Quliang. The journey is not long, but not short either. Quliang is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is a somewhat remote town."
Huang Feng said: "Isn't it just right for hiding."
"That's right."
"Then let's go to Quliang?"
"Yes."
When the two of them had discussed it, Xiao Nuan was leaning on the window and muttering: "When will the young lady and Mr. Huang come back?"
Coincidentally, a palace maid passed by the window and chatted about gossip.
"Have you heard that Lord Wang's daughter disobeyed her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words and eloped with someone. When she was caught, she was pregnant."
"I heard it. I also heard that Lord Wang was so angry that he fainted and took sick leave for two days without attending court."
Xiao Nuan's heart skipped a beat. A picture suddenly appeared in her mind. She jumped up from the window and circled around the room like an ant on a hot pot: "Woo woo woo, Miss, you have to be reserved. Without Xiao Nuan, the bed is cold!"
...
Departing from Huai'an to Quliang, the two walked very fast, worried that the clues would disappear, but the more they walked, the fewer people there were on the official road.
Li Motang saw Huang Feng's confusion and explained to him: "Quliang is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Before the city was built, the people made a living by hunting. Now, most of the people in Quliang are still hunters.
Merchants in Quliang regularly transport wild animal furs, and merchants from other places also regularly transport goods to Quliang. Ordinary people in Quliang rarely travel far."
Huang Feng recalled the map of Daxia: "Is there a sea beyond the mountains in Quliang?"
"Yeah."
Huang Feng couldn't help but hum: "There is a group of blue elves on the other side of the mountain and the sea!"
Who knew that Li Motang actually took it seriously: "Have you been to the other side of the sea?"
"No."
"Then how do you know that there is a group of blue... elves on the other side?"
"Imagine."
"Humph." Li Motang hummed angrily, and then said with some longing, "Daxia is surrounded by the sea on both sides. , adjacent to the Great Wilderness in the west, blocked by the natural moat of "Immortal Punishment", and close to the Great Wilderness in the north, where foreign races are entrenched and eyeing covetously.
I have always wanted to know what is at the end of the Great Wilderness, the Great Wilderness and the sea. Rumor has it that it is a void, and some people say it is the eternal resting place of the immortals in the sky after death.
Once I wanted to cross the sea, but I almost got lost after flying the sword for a short time, and was almost seriously injured by the sea monster.
But at that time, I had not yet entered the Return to Void Realm. After returning, I thought that one day I would try it again. ”
Huang Feng was also aroused by curiosity and asked: "Has no one tried it before?"
"Like me, there are many people who returned empty-handed. As for the others, I don't know whether they are dead or alive."
Unconsciously, it was almost dusk, but not far from Quliang.
The official road, which was originally deserted, was even more lonely.
Who knew that at sunset, there was the sound of horse hooves. A young man dressed in animal skins, carrying a hunting bow, galloped on a horse. Judging from his expression, he was very anxious.
The man was also startled when he saw someone walking in the air.
He thought they would pass by each other, but he suddenly pulled the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse, opened his hands and shouted: "Immortal, please stay, immortal, please stay!"
Huang Feng and Li Motang looked at each other and fell from the air.
Looking closely at the young man, he was strong and had many shallow scars on his dark skin. Combined with the hunting bow on his back, he was a young hunter who had been running in the mountains for many years.
"Are you a hunter from Quliang?" Li Motang asked.
The young man panted: "Yes, please help me, immortal."
"Help me?" Huang Feng looked at the direction he rode from. It didn't look like anyone was chasing him. He asked in confusion, "For help, you should go back to Quliang to find the government office or the Demon Collection Department. Why are you going in the opposite direction?"
"I'm going to Zhaoyang for help!" The young man explained as quickly as possible, "A few days ago, I went hunting in the mountains with a few friends. I can walk back and forth in the mountains near Quliang with my eyes closed.
But something strange happened that day. Several of us got lost in the mountains and couldn't find the direction. Finally, we came to the entrance of a cave.
We vaguely heard a call for help at the entrance of the cave, and hurriedly ran in. We found a dry well in the cave with nothing at the bottom of the well.
On weekdays, we have seen lonely ghosts in the mountains and heard many terrible stories. Logically, we should turn around and leave.
But that day, we were like possessed by ghosts and wanted to jump into the well, but when the first person jumped in, the others woke up."
"Then what?" Huang Feng asked. The young man's eyes were filled with fear: "The person who jumped down dug hard in the well. We threw down a rope to pick him up, but he ignored us. After he dug for a while, blood began to seep out from the bottom of the well. We were all scared and hurriedly fled the cave.
After leaving the cave, we would not get lost. We left one person to guard the cave entrance and then returned to Quliang to report to the Monster Collection Division.
Who knew that when we took the adults of the Monster Collection Division up the mountain, we could not find the cave at all, and the companions who stayed at the cave entrance also disappeared.
The adults of the Monster Collection Division felt something was wrong and asked us to go back first. We waited for a while. I went to the Demon Collection Division again the next day and found that several of the officials in the Demon Collection Division had disappeared.
The strangest thing was that many people in the city began to go into the mountains one after another. They could not be stopped, and even ropes could not be used to tie them up.
I was afraid that I would not be awake for long, so I wanted to ride to Zhaoyang overnight.
If the two immortals are worried and do not want to intervene in this matter, can you help rush to Zhaoyang to pass on the news, so that the people in the city can be rescued earlier, I will be very grateful. ”
Huang Feng could see that the horse this man rode was not a good horse, and he was walking at night. Let alone going to Zhaoyang, it would be difficult for him to have a safe night.
Li Motang frowned and said, "There are not many people in Quliang's Demon Collection Division. Not to mention the cultivators of the Hedao Realm, I don't even know if there are any cultivators of the Huanxu Realm. If we really encounter a powerful demon, it will be difficult to deal with it.
However, the Demon Collection Division has a special way of communication. It's a bit strange that there is not even a little news."
Huang Feng looked at the young hunter in front of him: "He doesn't look like lying!"
When the man heard it, he swore: "I can swear that I am absolutely not lying. If there is even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
"Okay, get up."
As Li Motang said, he took out a piece of paper and a pen from the square inch object. Just as he was about to write, he saw Huang Feng staring at him and said unhappily: "This is a special communication object."
"Oh, you write, I'll take a look, don't make a fuss." Huang Feng nodded.
Li Motang gritted his teeth, briefly wrote the situation on the paper, and then burned with spiritual energy.
After the note burned, she said to the young man in front of her: "I have sent the news back to Zhaoyang, you come back to Quliang with us."
After witnessing the magic with his own eyes, this person finally felt relieved and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, immortal, I will take you there now."
...
Xiao Nuan, who had been thinking about it all day, was wondering why the young lady hadn't come back yet, when she suddenly felt that there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy in Li Motang's bedroom.
She hurried to the table, picked up the stack of papers on it, and saw the handwriting on the top one.
"Ah, Quliang? Are the young lady and Mr. Huang really going to have a private..." Seeing the back, Xiao Nuan didn't dare to delay and hurried to the Monster Collection Division.
