Yu Xu and Xiao Yan asked me how the situation in the village was, and I described it truthfully.
The Twelve Fairies stood aside and marveled, saying that they would teach Hu Chi a lesson for kidnapping the girl.
Yao'er seemed particularly nervous, Shuang Bumeng comforted her, there is everyone here, there is no need to be afraid.
Lou Huan and Zhou Guangquan were filled with indignation, but the "chef" was as calm as usual.
Brother Tiger cutely leaned on the "Chef" mount and remained silent. I called him several times but ignored me... I guess he was still angry.
On the way, Xi Muchiao was absent-minded, maybe he was thinking about the lamp demon.
The area of the clear water should be about the same size as the surrounding mountains. However, there are intertwined streams and rivers that require wading through the water from time to time. Some rivers are slightly deep. Even if a camel can cross the mountains and break the water, it will not slow down the process.
It wasn't until evening that we arrived at the hinterland of Bishui and entered the Yuanqin area, and suddenly our eyes lit up.
In front of me, I saw two clear streams slowly surrounding a large city. The city walls were as clear as crystal. The setting sun shone on the wall towers and streams, flashing orange-red waves, which made people mesmerized.
"Holy boy, look, that's the capital city, Yuanqin." Xi Muchiao pointed to the city.
I rubbed my eyes: "Brother Mu Xiao, is your capital city built with crystal?"
"Haha, that's not crystal, it's the Yunjing stone unique to Bishui. Yunjing is extremely hard. Building a city wall with this stone is easy to defend, difficult to attack, and unbreakable. However, Yunjing is also a rare material in Bishui. Only Yunqin uses Yunjing to make it. Wall." Xi Muchiao explained with a smile.
"Oh, you and Huan Shan are both rich people." I felt.
"The Holy Child is joking, the Rock Clan is the real rich man." He joked.
Xi Muchiao summoned the generals of the camel guard army and ordered the Oteng camel to be delivered to the military camp outside the city.
A group of us followed him into the city. There were not many high-rise buildings in the city, most of them only had about three floors, and the districts were connected in a tic-tac-toe shape.
Small fountain gardens can be seen at wider intersections, and the flowers are graceful and graceful under the nourishment of the fountain.
Along the way, you can see water strips in the air from time to time. Artificial waterfalls fall from mid-air and merge into the ditches on the street, soaking the roots of the trees on both sides of the road. The green branches and leaves sway slightly in the wind, making the trees look particularly energetic.
The sky is getting dark, lights are on in the city, and pedestrians are still walking on the streets. At the street stalls everywhere, vendors sing songs and shout in turns. Many snacks are crowded with customers, especially diners coming in and out of restaurants. There was an endless stream.
Yuanqin deserves to be the capital, and its prosperity is no less than that of Yin'ao.
Xi Muxiao led everyone into the Quan Clan Palace. He arranged the team members to a luxurious compound, while Yu Xu and others were taken to a courtyard called "Shantou Ju".
There is a lotus pond and promenade at the entrance, and a garden inside. Several elegant houses are scattered on the left, middle, and right of the garden, with rockeries and springs outside.
Haha, there are mountains and water in the courtyard, and there is water wherever you go!
The houses on the left and right each have six rooms, which are suitable for the twelve fairies. Yu Xu, Xiao Yan, "Chef", Shuang Bumeng, Yao'er, Lou Huan and his wife, and Zhou Guangquan all lived in the middle building with me.
Xi Muchiao introduced that the pavilion has four floors in total. The first floor is the hall, which is basically no problem for entertaining guests and eating. There are five rooms on each floor from the second to fourth floors. We can stay in whichever room we like.
I randomly picked a room on the second floor. The room was quite spacious and comfortable, so I moved in.
Afterwards, Xi Muchiao asked someone to prepare dinner. He told me that he had to visit his father first and that he would send the files over later to review them with me, and then left in a hurry.
After a day of running around, everyone was a little tired. After dinner in the hall, they went back to their houses to rest.
I had to wait for Brother Mu Xiao, so I had to sit in the hall in a daze.
An hour passed without Xi Muchiao coming. My eyelids started to tremble and I crawled on the table and fell asleep.
"Dong dong——bang——"
I was awakened by the impact and quickly stood up to check. It turned out that the window was blown randomly by the wind.
"Huh..." Stretched, went to fix the window sash, and looked at the sky. It was about midnight.
Alas, I don’t know what’s going on with Xi Muchiao, and there’s no news yet.
I was bored by the window when I heard a black shadow fall on the tree opposite.
Looking closely, wow, what a big strange bird! ~
The bird had the head of an owl but a sculptured body. It was as tall as half a man. It didn't seem to be a species I knew.
It is not afraid of people, and the two green beads in its eyes are looking at me coldly.
...
When our eyes met, I felt a chill down my back from being stared at, and the pores on my head shrank for a while!
The strange bird took his time, turned his butt and wiggled it towards me, "Pu~" and ejaculated out.
! ! !
Oh, who are you with? You despise me, right?
It turned its head and flapped its wings contemptuously, "chirp--" and rushed high into the sky with a cry.
Damn, so arrogant! I want to see what kind of bird you are!
For some reason, an unknown fire broke out and jumped out of the window. I ran after it.
While chasing, I cursed secretly, "Grandma!" When I catch you, I have to strip you naked!
As the eaves of the wall flashed down, I passed through several courtyards, and the guards patrolling below did not notice my presence at all.
It's strange to say that my speed is supposed to be almost instantaneous, but every time I reach out I always miss it!
"Chirp--" The strange bird flew into a large courtyard and disappeared.
I rushed over and stood in the courtyard looking around.
...
Not to mention the birds, I didn’t even see any feathers!
"woo woo woo woo--"
The wind carries the slightest sound of a woman crying.
The cold hair suddenly stood up.
Let me go, who is howling? It’s so weird at night!
After calming down and looking around again, I noticed that the surroundings were overgrown with weeds. The super spacious courtyard was surrounded by five imposing buildings in a square shape. The main hall was particularly conspicuous. It looked like a place where the royal family lived, but this The place is deserted and not popular at all.
The roof tiles of the two large rooms at the entrance are broken, there are many cracks on the walls, thick dust covers all the houses, and dense spider webs have formed another world. This place is obviously deserted. long palace.
Hmm, maybe it was the wind and I heard it wrong?
I searched around the courtyard several times, but still couldn't find the strange bird.
Feeling a little disappointed for no reason, I reluctantly prepared to leave.
"Uuuuuu——"
Crying came again with the sound of wind.
I immediately stopped all movements and listened carefully...for a long time...no reaction.
Tsk, it must be the rumor, don’t scare yourself!
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to the door. Since there was no one here, it was better to go out openly, otherwise he would look like a burglar.
"Woo-wu-wu-" "Hahaha-@#￥%!"
This time, in addition to the sound of a woman crying, there were also words similar to those of a man, but the sound was too weak and the content could not be heard clearly. It was certain that someone was speaking!
Wow, it's already the second watch. Is there anyone still awake in the inner courtyard of the palace? What a fuss!
Then I thought about it.
...Could it be that the guard and the young palace maid had a secret date in the deserted palace?
Hehe, let's take a look. The woman was crying so miserably at this time. I don't know what the contradiction between the two is.
The more I thought about it, the more curious I became, and I unconsciously followed the faint source of the sound.
The courtyard is too big, and the sound is so erratic that it is difficult to determine the specific location.
After going around for a long time, finally, as they passed a well in the corner of the deserted courtyard, the sound became a little clearer.
I tiptoed to the edge of the well and carefully looked around. The well was dark and dark, with faint waves flashing in the depths. It must not be a dry well.
Uh, is there a dark room in the well? Otherwise, how could those two people be down there.
Keep calm and watch, and the six senses will directly capture the underground space information.
...
Centered around the well, there was no sign of human activity within a radius of tens of meters!
"Woo-wu-" The night wind was very strong.
"#%*@huakai&*..." A man's voice came from the bottom of the well at the same time.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
I froze in place and shook for a few times, then a terrifying thought came to my mind.
! ! ! Ah Piao! ! !
He immediately turned around and ran away, his feet tightened, he tripped over some weeds and fell on his face.
Ignoring the pain, I covered my nose and crawled towards the door. At this time, I actually forgot about my kung fu!
He opened the door with all his strength and rushed out. "Boom -" his head hit the stone wall hard!
I raised my head with tears in my eyes, only to realize that the door had been sealed with bluestone!
If I go, what will happen? Weird things happen every year, especially the clear water!
After regaining his composure for a while, he quickly dodged with Qi and escaped back to "Shantou Residence" with a gust of wind.
Panting, he pushed open the hall door and saw Yu Xu, Xiaoyan, and "Chef" sitting in the hall with Xi Muchiao and an old man.
They all looked at me inexplicably.
"Xiao Feng, where were you in such a mess at midnight?" Euxu quickly came up to help me.
"Water, water!" My throat was burning.
"Xiao Feng, you're bleeding!" Xiao Yan handed me a cup of tea and wiped the blood from my nose with a handkerchief.
"Holy boy, what are you..." Xi Muxiao hesitated before speaking.
I drank three drinks in a row, "Ah--" I rubbed my chest, and finally calmed down. I moved a chair and sat down, and told them the experience in detail.
"Haha, Xiaofeng is so angry with a bird." Xiaoyan covered her mouth and laughed.
"Yes, you are really idle! You are so cowardly that you still want to imitate others and become a night knight?" Yu Xu rolled her eyes.
"I..." There seems to be nothing to refute...
Turning around, Xi Muchiao and the old man's faces were ashen.
"What's wrong with you?" I touched the back of my head.
"Alas -" the old man looked at Xi Muchiao, sighed, and said: "That's not a strange bird... it's a symbol of the unknown nature of the clear water... And the place where the Holy Boy is going tonight is our Quan Clan's Forbidden Palace. For more than ten years, no one in the Quan clan dared to mention..."
"Second Elder, it's up to me to speak." Xi Muxiao stood up sadly.
Judging from their appearance, there was an earth-shattering event for the Quan Clan sealed in the courtyard. I wasn't sure whether to continue listening to it or not.
