The team went all the way west. In order to accommodate the ancient Xiaotian's hiking, it was naturally a little slower than the originally scheduled time. However, after stopping and walking, it took less than seven days to see the Jinguan City from a distance. .
The sun was shining brightly today, and the Jinguan City seemed to be illuminated with some golden light.
Since they were coming to pacify Xishu, they naturally could not enter the city in such a mighty manner. The soldiers of the Royal Forest Camp immediately got off their horses and took out a few casual clothes from the cloth pockets they had brought. After changing, the three men Two groups formed and walked towards Jinguan City Gate from different roads.
Yu Huan came to Gu Xiaotian and said: "After entering the city, we will leave a mark in the city. When necessary, we will gather together. The rest of the time, we will pretend to be ordinary people and stay in Jinguan City."
Gu Xiaotian nodded and warned, "Be careful."
The Royal Forest Camp is already preparing to enter the city in batches, but Gu Xiaotian is not in a hurry. The reason is very simple. His face is too recognizable. Unless he changes his face, it will not be easy for him to enter the city.
Xiao Yinyin and Hao Hao also followed the Royal Forest Camp into the city, and they only needed to disguise themselves.
After all, the people guarding the city gate are all members of the Leng family.
When Ziyang came to Gu Xiaotian, he didn't care about entering the city. Instead, he asked about the hike, "Fellow Taoist, what have you gained after hiking for a few days?"
Gu Xiaotian pretended to be serious, imitating Zhao Qixing's tone, and replied, "The secret must not be leaked."
Ziyang smiled slightly and praised, "Fellow Taoist, you have already gained something."
Gu Xiaotian rolled his eyes and ignored Ziyang.
Now he has to think about how to enter the city.
If you can't even enter the city, there's no need to talk about pacifying Xishu.
Slowly approaching Jinguan City, Gu Xiaotian hid behind a vegetable cart, borrowed a hat, and lifted the brim of the hat just to see the distribution of guards clearly.
It has to be said that as a king with a different surname in Western Shu, the Leng family must have put a lot of thought into setting up defenses.
Most of the soldiers guarding the city gates in Beihuang are just trying to get by, so they are naturally very lax, but this is different in Xishu. The soldiers are very strict. Even if a vegetable cart wants to enter the city, two people will come up and rummage through the cart. The other two people were responsible for keeping an eye on the vegetable farmers and people queuing up to enter the city.
Gu Xiaotian patted his head and murmured: "This is really difficult to handle."
Ziyang and the other two little Taoist priests were not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, they just followed Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian glanced at the three of them and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you three going into the city?"
Ziyang said slowly: "Uncle, I thought you might not be able to enter the city, so let the three of us help you."
Gu Xiaotian almost vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
Do you have to wait until now to talk about such an important thing?
Ziyang spread his hands helplessly and said, "When we were watching, my junior uncle told us to say whatever we wanted at any time."
Gu Xiaotian suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I'll write this down first and figure it out later. Now get me into the city quickly."
Ziyang nodded, and like a magic trick, he conjured a small tower out of thin air.
There was a talisman attached to the small tower. Ziyang looked at Gu Xiaotian and said apologetically: "I just need fellow Taoist to suffer a little. The feeling in this tower is not pleasant."
Gu Xiaotian looked at the small tower and felt a faint fairy aura.
In fact, this small tower has a great background. It is Zhenwu's treasure. It is not used to hide people, but to imprison people.
The tower has three levels. With each level lowered, the pain of the people in the tower will increase.
And there are many people who turned to blood in this tower.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the small pagoda. Based on Ziyang's level, it was basically impossible to get this small pagoda. There was no doubt that this small pagoda was also given by Zhao Qixing.
Gu Xiaotian twitched his lips and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
Ziyang nodded, then uncovered the talisman that had been covering the small tower, turned the Qi machine slightly, then lifted the small tower, pointed it at Gu Xiaotian, and shouted:
.
A gravitational force hit Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian did not resist, but was pulled along by the gravitational force until he got into the tower.
Ziyang hurriedly covered the talisman, then silently recited a mantra, and the small tower disappeared.
In the small tower, Gu Xiaotian felt a heat as soon as he entered, as if there was a fire burning on his body. However, not long after entering, he was already dripping with sweat.
Holding back the fiery heat, Gu Xiaotian kept exhaling and at the same time running his qi machine to adjust, a white mist rose up outside his body.
A minute in this tower is actually only a second outside.
Gu Xiaotian, who had been adjusting his breath with luck, suddenly felt a warm current emerging from his heart, as if it was transmitted to him by this small tower.
For a moment, he only felt that the energy in his body began to stir.
However, sometimes the restlessness of Qi is not necessarily a good thing. For example, right now, Gu Xiaotian himself is still suffering from the burning fire, and the Qi in his body is restless and unable to stabilize, so it is naturally twice as uncomfortable.
As time slowly passed, Gu Xiaotian finally found some methods, which made the fire outside his body no longer so hot, but the restlessness of the energy in his body still could not be stabilized.
He kept adjusting his breathing and trying various methods, just to make himself more comfortable in this tower.
However, he had a very strange feeling. It seemed that in this small tower, the fairy spirit was stronger, and the insights he had gained during the previous hike were much deeper.
Gu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Zhao Qixing, Zhao Qixing, let's see if I don't settle the score with you next time I see you."
Ziyang and the other two little Taoist priests came to the Jinguan City checkpoint and waited in line for a while before it was their turn.
The soldier guarding the city gate frowned when he saw that the three men were dressed like Taoist priests. He quickly called another soldier to whisper a few words in his ear. The other soldier nodded and walked towards the city. , the soldier guarding the gate stretched out a hand to stop Ziyang, and said coldly: "Wait a moment."
After a while, he saw the soldier who had just entered the city walking out leading a dog with antlers on its head.
Seeing this scene, Ziyang's heart skipped a beat.
In Zhenwu's library, there is a book called "The Record of the Eight Wilderness Alien Beasts", which Ziyang has read before. This antlered alien dog is called the Spirit-Calling Dog. It is not aggressive, but it is born with a keen sense of smell. If it is detected, When something strange is hidden, the antlers will shine.
Ziyang became a little worried. The junior uncle had never mentioned this matter.
Is it possible that the junior uncle didn't take it into account?
But at this time, he couldn't show that he was guilty of being a thief. If he showed it, he might not even have to smell it, and he would be captured by these soldiers on the spot.
The soldiers came forward with the spirit-calling dog. Ziyang pretended to be calm and had a calm face. The spirit-calling dog sniffed lightly and walked around Ziyang several times.
When the soldiers saw this, they immediately became alert. At the same time, the soldiers who were checking at another checkpoint also looked here.
Almost all the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at Ziyang.
As soon as the spirit-calling dog's antlers shine, they will immediately take action together to capture all three little Taoist priests!
When the spirit-calling dog came around behind Ziyang, it suddenly sniffed several times.
The small tower that had been hidden on Ziyang also sensed that something was approaching, and immediately emitted an invisible gas from the tower and spread out in all directions.
The spirit-calling dog's antlers were already slightly bright, but soon they completely dimmed.
Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers looking at the city gate felt very strange. The spirit-calling dog had not made any mistakes. Just now, the antlers were obviously bright, but they disappeared again. It was really strange.
The spirit-calling dog silently walked back to the soldier and squatted down, shaking his head like a human being.
The soldiers were still unwilling to give up. They stopped Ziyang and the others and said sternly: "Please take off your Taoist robes."
Ziyang frowned slightly and said dissatisfied: "Isn't it already checked just now?
What are we doing with our clothes off? "
The soldier said with a cold face: "This is Jinguan City, what we say is the rules."
Ziyang took two steps back, his expression a little ugly, and he warned: "The three of us traveled to Jinguan, hoping that Xiongtai would sell Taoism to save face."
The soldier raised his eyebrows.
The more unwilling Ziyang was, the more he suspected that the spirit-calling dog had really lost its sense of smell just now.
Just as a conflict was about to break out, a scholar-like man not far away walked towards the soldiers, holding up the fan in his hand and shouting, "Wait a minute!"
The soldier turned around and saw the scholar-looking man. He quickly bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Leng."
Mr. Leng nodded, looked at Ziyang, and asked, "Are the three fellow Taoists disciples of Zhenwu?"
Ziyang nodded silently, and asked out of politeness: "Exactly, what do you call the young master?"
The soldiers on the side suddenly burst out with an unknown fire. This is the famous Mr. Leng in Jinguan City. These three little Taoist priests indeed look like they have just come down from the mountain not long ago, but they don't have any eyesight?
Just when the soldier wanted to step forward and interrupt, Mr. Leng raised his hand to stop him, and then said with a smile: "I am Leng Lingfeng, the teacher of Jinguan City."
"Fellow Taoist, you must be tired from the journey down the mountain. Why don't you go into the city early and I can find a resting place for you?"
Ziyang looked at Leng Lingfeng's smiling face, but frowned.
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary teacher, but the bad thing is his last name.
Everyone knows what the surname Leng means in Western Shu.
Ziyang could instantly realize that this Leng Lingfeng would never be as amiable as he appeared on the surface.
Ziyang immediately waved his hand and said, "No, we are just going down the mountain for a trip, so I won't bother you sir to worry about it."
After being rejected, Leng Lingfeng still had a smile on his face and nodded: "In that case, I won't bother the three fellow Taoists."
After that, he gave instructions to the soldiers to let the three young Taoist priests enter the city, then turned and left.
Although the soldiers still had concerns in their hearts, since it was the Leng family who spoke, they did not dare to disobey them. They just waved their hands and allowed Ziyang and the others to enter the city.
After Ziyang and the others entered the city, they arrived at a small courtyard according to the marks left by the Royal Forest Camp who had entered the city earlier.
This small courtyard currently only contains Yu Huan, Xiao Yinyin and Hao Hao.
Seeing Ziyang and the others coming in, Yu Huan asked, "Where is Commander Gu?"
Ziyang transformed into a small tower again and uncovered the talismans on the small tower. Gu Xiaotian jumped out of the small tower and had already become a water man. There was no clean place on his body, and even his coat was burned. traces of passing.
Gu Xiaotian lay on the ground, gasped for several breaths, then jumped up, pointed at Ziyang's nose and asked: "Damn it, how long have you been waiting at the city gate? If you waste some time, I will die." It’s in the tower.”
