"Qin Chuan, where do you think my brother and the others will go?" Su Qiqi stood up from the invisible tree branch uneasily and looked around.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan hurriedly pulled her arm and motioned her to squat down to avoid being discovered by the man in black.
Su Qiqi also came to her senses, squatted down, and whispered to Qin Chuan: "My brother and the others have gone somewhere, and they haven't seen anyone for so long..."
Although Qin Chuan was also very worried, he still managed to squeeze out a smile and said: "Don't worry, your two brothers are smart... Maybe they went to the nearby area to investigate the news and will be back soon..."
Su Qiqi nodded slightly and continued to stare at the figure of the man in black waving a shovel. About an hour after the incense was burned, two more figures appeared on the path where the man in black had just walked.
Su Qiqi looked at it carefully, showed a happy expression, and whispered to Qin Chuan: "Look! My second brother and third brother..."
Qin Chuan followed her line of sight and saw that it was indeed Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue. They were leaning forward and moving slowly in the grass beside the road.
"What are they going to do?" Qin Chuan frowned and looked at Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue's actions with confusion.
Su Qiqi also stared at the two brothers nervously, guessing their next move. Just when Su Qiqi was in a daze, the man in black, who was digging in the soil, suddenly seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, freezing in place motionless.
"Eh? What's going on?" Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan murmured in a low voice at the same time. In fact, not only the two of them were confused, Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue, who were hiding near the man in black, were also confused.
"Brother, what's wrong with them?" Nangong Yue carefully studied the strange situation of the man in black for a while, and then asked Nangong Yu quietly.
Nangong Yu pondered for a while, and suddenly said nervously: "Maybe they dug up something ominous..."
"Ah?!" Nangong Yue was even more surprised. He reluctantly swallowed the question on his lips and took a few steps closer to the man in black. Only then did he see clearly that they had dug out a dirty ancient tripod.
"Second brother, could the one they dug out be the Shennong Cauldron?" Nangong Yue asked curiously, looking at the ancient cauldron covered with strange carvings intently.
Nangong Yu also moved a few steps forward, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then murmured: "It would be great if it was the Shennong Cauldron... It is said that this cauldron has accumulated the energy of countless elixirs, hiding some kind of mysterious power... ...You can refine a unique magical medicine that can transform a person..."
"Wow! If it is really the Shennong Cauldron, then we are in great luck!" Nangong Yue's eyes shone with excitement, and he wished he could immediately step forward and take the ancient cauldron into his pocket.
Nangong Yu was calmer, and glanced at the man in black who was still standing beside the pit like a sculpture, and whispered: "Don't be impatient, first find out what happened to those people..." After saying that, Nangong Yu folded the A branch was thrown out with great luck and flew towards the man in black beside the pit. In an instant, a man in black fell down, but the other men in black showed no reaction and remained where they were.
In the trees across the path. Su Qiqi was startled by her second brother's actions. Fortunately, the men in black didn't seem to show any signs of fighting back. Su Qiqi was about to ask Qin Chuan to jump down from the top of the tree to meet his two brothers. Just when she turned her head inadvertently, she was suddenly startled again.
The houses on the curtain not far away disappeared, leaving only a desolate landscape. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She hurriedly patted Qin Chuan's arm and lowered her voice and said, "Look at that curtain..."
Qin Chuan didn't react for a moment and murmured: "Huh? What curtain?" After a while, he followed Su Qiqi's gaze and showed an extremely horrified expression.
"This, isn't this an illusion?" He blinked hard and looked at the changed curtain again. What was originally a poetic picture of mountains, rivers and people's homes is now only a desolate scene. What made him even more unbelievable was that the scenery seemed a bit familiar!
"Ah! I remembered it. The painting seemed to be Hongyue Bay in Erlong Mountain, which is where we are currently..." Qin Chuan threw away the branch in his hand, whispered a few words to Su Qiqi, and then He jumped to the ground first and ran towards the curtain. Su Qiqi also followed and jumped over.
When the two came to the curtain, an even stranger scene appeared: the scene in the curtain changed again! Several vague figures appeared on the path painted on the curtain. Su Qiqi counted them silently, then turned to look at the man in black beside the pit.
Seven figures! But there are only five men in black! Who are the other two? It can't be... Thinking of this, Su Qiqi suddenly shuddered. She was about to ask Qin Chuan to hide from the curtain together, but she was shocked to find that she couldn't move! Fortunately, she was still conscious. She could feel that Qin Chuan beside her was in the same situation. What should she do? I have to find a way to remind my brothers! We can't let them be in danger!
Her mind was spinning, and before Su Qiqi could figure out a way, she saw that the second brother and the third brother were gradually approaching the area covered by the front of the curtain. Her heart lifted involuntarily, and she wanted to remind her loudly, but found that she could only make a hoarse single tone.
Just when she was worried, Nangong Yu seemed to see her expression, understood her meaning, and promptly grabbed Nangong Yue who was still walking forward.
Nangong Yue looked at Nangong Yu with a confused expression, then at Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan, and asked in confusion: "Second brother, why don't you leave? My sister and Xiaochuan are over there..."
Nangong Yu sighed and said to his slow-responsive brother, "Don't you notice something is wrong with my little sister and the others?"
"Ah? You mean they might be fake..." Nangong Yue stared at Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan for a few times and said thoughtfully.
"Hey! I mean they might have been possessed by some evil spirit..." Nangong Yu shook his head helplessly and pulled Nangong Yue back to the grass beside the road.
"Second brother, what should we do now?" Nangong Yue looked back and asked with a worried look on his face.
Nangong Yu's face also became a little heavy. He pondered for a while and whispered: "Let's tell my little sister and the others first, and then go back to bring in reinforcements..."
Nangong Yue nodded, turned around and shouted in the direction of Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan: "Let's go get reinforcements and be back soon!"
Su Qiqi heard her brothers' calls and blinked hard in response. Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue gave up their plan to get the ancient tripod and hurried back to the place where King Jingbei and others stayed to seek help.
About a quarter of an hour after they left, a vigorous figure appeared behind the curtain. He looked at Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan who were unable to move with a ferocious smile, then nimbly walked around the pit, pushed away two of the men in black, picked up the ancient tripod on the ground, and held it in his hands. , looking greedily at the ancient artifact still covered in mud.
"Hahaha! It really is the Shennong Ding! I finally found it... I don't have to look at that old woman's face anymore! Hahaha!" The man was laughing proudly. Suddenly he heard the wind of Xun Xun's palm coming from behind. Before he could make a move, his acupuncture points were sealed by the attacker, making him unable to move.
As a burst of laughter like silver bells filled his eardrums, Wu Sankui was stunned for a moment: "Who is this young woman? Soul-eating paintings don't seem to have any influence on her... Could it be that she is a disciple of the Lingyue Sect of Ziyun Mountain... …”
