After taking care of General Paperman and his Ginkgo Leaf men, Lu Jing gave up the idea of escape.
First of all, because his traces have been discovered, and after such a long time, the other side must have been fully prepared. If he runs towards the cave, he doesn't know how many moths he will encounter along the way.
Secondly, even if he wanted to escape, he had to find Xia Huai first.
And Ixiang, who had gone to inquire about the news until now, has not come back. Not only has he not come back, but he has not even sent back any news.
Lu Jing had reason to suspect that the senior Si Tianjian might also have encountered some troubles.
In this case, he couldn't leave.
No matter what, Imuka risked his life just to help him, so it would definitely not work to leave him like this.
So Lu Jing already knew where he should go next.
He grasped the meteorite Zen staff tightly, simply stopped covering his tracks, and strode towards the center of the village using the Qinggong skills of turbulent waves.
The previous battles also gave him confidence. Although the secret power of this place is rich and it is the natural home of the mage profession, his warrior profession has almost reached the full level.
As the saying goes, one force can defeat all means, and besides, he is also a player with his own buffs. He really has never been afraid of anyone compared to the length of the blue bar.
I don't know if Lu Jing's act of sending him to the door suddenly disrupted the arrangement on the other side, but the whole journey after that was unexpectedly smooth.
Lu Jing didn't encounter any more messy opponents or spells.
In one breath, he ran to the open space in the village where the banquet had been held before, and saw Ikata's figure from a distance.
The latter arched his back, just like the posture of a cheetah before hunting. He pressed one hand on the handle of the black-sheathed iron knife, and he had already pulled out one-third of the iron knife. people.
However, his posture seemed to be frozen, standing there motionless, like a sculpture.
Even after hearing the sound of Lu Jing's arrival, he didn't look back.
Seeing this strange scene, Lu Jing also stopped.
He looked along the direction of the well and saw a man with bare feet and gray robes standing beside a stone mill, looking up at the moon in the sky.
Lu Jingneng was sure that he had never seen this person in the village before.
In other words, this person is probably not a villager in Wuyou Village. Combined with Jing Xiang's tightened brows and his glance at the entrance of the village from time to time.
Lu Jing had reason to believe that this man might be the real worry in Ixiang's heart.
And he did feel the long-lost dangerous aura from the man in front of him. The aura was so strong that Lu Jing felt a rare trace of regret in his heart.
But he soon suppressed this trace of regret.
At this time, the barefooted man also moved his gaze from the bright moon above his head to Lu Jing's body. Instead of taking action in a hurry, he asked with interest, "Academy disciple?"
"Not bad." Lu Jing also completely composed his mind at this time.
No matter what, there was no way he could leave Iugao alone.
So no matter who the barefoot man is, he will always face him.
"It seems that after thousands of years, the academy has developed better and better." The man sighed with emotion.
When Lu Jing heard these words, the hairs all over his body could not help but stand up, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
The man nodded and said happily, "Young boy, it seems you have guessed my identity. Yes, you can call me senior."
And as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the door of the room next to Shimo being pushed open from the inside.
The old man with white hair and white beard stuck his head out under the protection of two paper swordsmen and urged the barefooted man, "Stop reminiscing about the past and do what you should do..."
His voice suddenly stopped, because after a gust of cold wind, he found that the heads of the two paper swordsmen beside him suddenly fell to the ground.
"No one can talk to me like that."
The barefooted man said calmly, and at the same time, a small silver sword flew back into the cuff of his Taoist robe.
"I only work for you because the Otherworld has distorted my common sense, just as it has distorted yours and the common sense of everyone else in this village, but I strongly advise you not to confuse me with ordinary puppets like you."
The old man with white hair and beard originally wanted to say something more, but after meeting the man's eyes, he couldn't say a word.
Obediently, he retracted his head behind the door.
The barefoot man waved his hand, as if chasing away a fly.
Then he looked at Lu Jing again, smiled and said, "It seems I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Gu Zhongling, and I am an inspector in Sitian Prison.
"I'm sorry to meet you in such a situation, my young comrade. I know what you are thinking now. Yes, in order to deal with a very powerful monster, I died on the other side of the cave a thousand years ago.
"But this idiot Imu always felt that he was the one who harmed me, so he came to Biyoudongtian and used the characteristics of Biyoudongtian to resurrect me.
"And in order to prevent me from dying again after he left, the idiot simply lived here, married a wife and had a daughter. As for me, it's because I am born to be a libertine.
"After being resurrected, I became impatient after not living in this small village for long, so I left and wandered around in the outside world. I heard that someone in Si Tian Prison later threw the otherworld into the academy as a scenery.
"Actually, I personally don't recommend doing this because of the dangers of monsters. However, probably because of the academic requirements of the academy at that time, I felt that this place could help young students sharpen their minds and at the same time remind them of the dangers of monsters. Everywhere…”
Gu Zhongling paused, then continued, "Well, of course the most important thing is because there is one of Si Tianjian's own, Ixiang, inside. If someone really insists on making up for the past and wants to stay here, it will take at most three days." time.
"Even if he doesn't want to leave, Iugao will find a way to drive him out so that he can suffer a small loss and learn a valuable lesson."
"In short, the academy has made a good plan. It not only trains the newcomers, but also I can have someone to accompany me from time to time. Anyway, one day here and a hundred days outside. From Ixiang's point of view, people from the academy are coming here in a steady stream. run.
"But probably because he felt that he was a negative example, he always concealed his identity as a supervisor in front of those students. Except for the academy's successive tutors and supervisors, few people knew his true identity and only regarded him as an ordinary villager.
"Until... you came," Gu Zhongling said and sighed, "You have nothing to regret, so this is a bit troublesome, both for me and for you."
