Zhao Shun gathered his breath and took advantage of the darkness to dive onto one of the islands.
At this time, it was about the end of the moon and far away from the quiet time. There were faint sounds of pots and pans in the house, or the crisp sound of wooden chopsticks hitting porcelain bowls. It was not difficult to tell that the people in the house were sitting together. Have dinner everywhere.
It was so quiet that she could only hear the sound of objects colliding with each other, no barking of dogs, no crow of chickens, no crying of children, not even the sound of normal conversations.
In the darkness, Zhao Shun looked at every household on the island. The family gathered around the dining table, relatively silent, just picking up food, eating, picking up food, and eating in silence. There are old couples and young couples. In the houses on the island, there are usually four people like this, maybe one more silent child, or one less old man with white hair and beard.
One thing that all families have in common is that there are no babies in the family, and most of the young women have round bellies.
Even in the warm scene where their family members were present and the newborn Lin'er was about to be born, there was no joy in their eyes. They just repeated the actions of picking up vegetables and chewing in a dull and speechless manner.
Zhao Shun felt more and more something was wrong, and suddenly heard a sharp cry in a house!
After taking a closer look, it turned out that a woman was ten months pregnant and had just given birth to a baby. The old woman at home seemed to be a midwife. She gently wrapped the newborn in soft cotton and held it in her arms. The husband sat silently outside, not caring about all this. Neither his wife's roar nor the child's scream could shake him.
The baby's high-pitched cry echoed all around, only making the people in the other houses even more silent. The already weird feeling of indifference almost solidified in every household for a while.
When Zhao Shun saw this, his thoughts became even more determined. He was afraid that this was a human being kept in captivity by Jiao Shicong, so he must have never left this place!
Throwing out a concealment charm, her figure completely disappeared into the darkness. She looked up at the old woman who had just delivered the baby and pushed out the door with the baby in her arms. She walked all the way to where the island entered the sea. There was a huge tree growing next to the port. , taller and stronger than any tree on the island, with oval-shaped leaves, thick and wide.
The old woman pulled a leaf from the tree, placed the newborn baby on the leaf, and carried the leaf with it to the water. With a gentle push, the wide leaf became like a small boat, carrying the baby across the ripples to the distance.
She stared at the baby who was getting farther and farther away from her for a long time, but in the end she couldn't sigh. She just turned back the way she came from as if she had lost her soul.
This was also the only time that Zhao Chun glimpsed something similar to emotion in the people on the island.
She moved the realization to the leaves that were drifting farther and farther away, and quickly followed through the water until she reached a vortex. The leaves suddenly closed on their own, completely wrapping the baby in it, and then sank into the sea along the vortex.
Zhao Shun did not dare to delay and immediately dived into the water with Ye Bao. She also had a shell boat given to her by the Taoist Master Tusheng, so it was very convenient for her to enter the sea.
One person and one leaf, together with the baby inside, dive deeper and deeper into the deep moonlight.
He didn't know where he had arrived, and the surrounding sea area was completely dark, but a flash of light appeared in front of Zhao Chun's eyes - an octagonal lantern!
I don’t know what the lantern is made of. The lantern frame is crystal clear, covered by a layer of gauze as thin as a cicada’s wing. There is a handful of lantern strings hanging down, beads like amber, and fish as thin as mosquitoes and flies wrapped in it.
Ye Bao got the guidance of the lantern and accelerated towards that direction, and Zhao Chun also followed.
Finally, they got closer and closer to the lantern. After the faint light, a small door with a copper ring appeared, creaking open, and nothing could be seen inside.
Bei Zhou couldn't enter the door, so Zhao Chun had to put away the magic weapon and go in with Ye Bao himself. He didn't want to go through this small door, as if he were on land. The water pressure around him suddenly dissipated, and a slightly bloody aura rushed in. In the nose.
In front of him is a screen wall with complex patterns on it, forming a red long-tailed fish. The dorsal fin is almost half the size of the fish's body, and it swims like red silk.
Ye Bao was swallowed by the red fish and disappeared into the shadow wall instantly. Zhao Shun stepped forward, but could only touch the cold and hard screen wall and could not enter. His mind turned over and over again, and he could not find any feasible solution for the moment.
When he was anxious, the Golden Crow Blood Fire suddenly burst out from his Dantian and rushed towards the shadow wall. The red fish on the wall recognized that it was not a baby and refused to open its mouth. The Golden Crow Blood Fire ignored it and hit the fish's mouth, burning it. The red fish's lips were black, but it couldn't resist it, and was forced into it by the blood and fire.
Zhao Shun could not enter the screen wall, but suddenly he found a picture before his eyes. In the deep cave, there were several trees that were the same as the giant trees on the island, but the leaves were all curled up together, forming leaf bags. There are various colors including green, dark green, and even black.
The turquoise leaf bag that had entered through the screen wall now actually flew to the tree, and the leaf stems were reconnected to the branches, no longer distinguishable from other leaf bags.
How could Zhao Chun not understand such a situation?
What kind of leaf bags are these? They are clearly babies sent here for storage!
With the help of the power of blood and fire, she saw a clothed man carrying a basket on his back walking into sight. He raised his head and looked around, then stepped forward and gently touched the trunk of the tree with his hand. The place where his hand connected with the bark of the tree emitted a faint green fluorescence, and the tree had a faint glow. Suddenly, all the black leaf bags on the branches fell off, and the man stepped forward, put them into his backpack, turned around and left.
Zhao Shun gritted his teeth gently. There must be something evil about this tree. It can turn the green leaves into black, which means it can be picked. As for after picking, the man in cloth will probably send it to Jiao Shicong for him. Practice witchcraft!
As soon as his mind moved, he immediately followed up with Xue Huo. Sure enough, the man placed the basket on a round platform, bowed down and kowtowed three times.
A figure suddenly appeared on the round platform. He had a tall frame, but was extremely thin. His cheeks were sunken inward. There was a faint blood in the pupils of his big eyes. At a cursory look, he looked sick and thin. If you look closely, you can see that this person is clearly full of energy and his skin is as delicate as a baby's!
Evil cultivator Jiao Shicong!
Even if Zhao Chun Dang knew his identity, there was a wall of shadows in front of him, so he couldn't enter it, let alone kill him.
Screen walls and formations block entry...
She recalled that when she was in the Lingzhen Sect in Hengyun World, there was a stone gate blocking the three-point stone forest secret passage leading to the sect-protecting formation. At that time, she was not allowed to enter. Finally, there was the formation pattern of the Golden Crow Blood Fire General. After eating it, the formation was broken and she was able to enter it.
It's just that the formation patterns on the stone gate at that time were far less complicated than those on the screen wall in front of me. I wonder if the blood and fire can still break it?
The situation was critical at this time, and there was no time to waste. Zhao Chunyu made the blood and fire sneak back to the entrance carefully, but the blood and fire also wandered outside. Only after the thought came from it did she realize that she wanted to find the starting point of the pattern.
She had mastered the art of swordsmanship, and was proficient in the art of killing. She only had a superficial understanding of formations. After thinking carefully, she released some true energy and began to look for the starting point of the spiritual energy on the shadow wall.
