Chapter 98: The Night Guard Team Encountered Carrying the Coffin By chance
. In the middle of the night, the team changed guard and the three of them returned to their place.
Li Qingxian crammed into his hands, opened the basic Taoist books given by Zhou Chunfeng, and learned a skill called 'paper figurines'. He made four palm-sized paper figurines and placed them nearby.
The night passed peacefully.
On the road again, Li Qingxian deliberately fell behind the team. As he walked, he used his fortune-telling energy to look at the middle-aged man named Nie Shan who was suspected of being one of Ye Han's gang members.
I can't see luck, I can't see the shadow of destiny.
I could vaguely feel two strange powers blocking my fate-watching energy.
Li Qingxian walked and deduced.
"One of the power auras is close to Ye Han. The acquaintance comes from the protection of Ye Han's fate. To Nie Shan, Ye Han is a noble person. The other power is a bit familiar. He should have felt it somewhere, but for a while it was also very strange. It's hard to remember, let me think about it..."
Li Qingxian thought for a full hour, and the feeling of encountering "Emperor Star Suppression" in the prison came to mind.
"Yes, that's how it feels! It's not Emperor Taining's personal power, it's a general situation. I understand, it's the clan, the royal family." Li Qingxian felt chills all over
his body. No wonder Zhou Chunfeng didn't tell Ye Han what was going on behind the scenes. The black hand actually involves the clan.
Li Qingxian thought back to the royal family members that Li Gangfeng had offended, and he remembered seven of them in just a moment. He had no idea where to start. Forget it, he felt tired.
Li Qingxian secretly observed the other three people, and the results were the same. They were all protected by Ye Han's destiny and the royal family, and two of them were more protected by the power of the royal family.
As for Ye Han, Li Qingxian took a look and saw nothing.
Ye Han, who has entered the first level, is no longer what he used to be. Even if he uses up all his luck fish, he will not be able to enter his destiny.
Li Qingxian kept thinking.
"The four Nie Shan people are protected by the general situation of the royal family. If there is no external influence, even if they enter the Ming Mansion and see their life stars, they will not see the destiny. It is just like that day in the Sizheng Palace, if the head guard did not speak, I definitely can't see the fate of Ge Chao. If I were at a higher level, I could master more life skills and secretly use various methods such as overcoming, draining, killing, and tribulation to deal with them in minutes, but now I really don't have that strength."
"In this first step, I should find a way to weaken their royal family's general protection..."
Li Qingxian thought hard, thinking about the story of the life magician, thinking about various rumors, recalling the chants he had memorized, he didn't know Unknowingly, I have a deeper understanding of related fortune-telling techniques.
The team moved forward slowly. Along the way, some deserted villages were vaguely visible. Occasionally, unkempt people could be seen looking at them from a distance like savages, and then fled away.
The sun was shining high, and under the clear morning sun, the team walked on the loess road and moved forward slowly.
The sound of whipping the cattle became more and more frequent.
After bypassing an overgrown wasteland and turning a corner, a bright white curved river twisted in front, and the water's light flashed in front of people's eyes.
"There is a river!"
"Master Wu, go down and take a bath to cool off."
"I can't stand walking all day and night."
"We can stand it, but the cows can't!"
Wu Jingtian said with a gentle look on his face, waving his hand. : "I'll rest by the river for two hours today at noon!"
Everyone cheered.
After Wu Jingtian finished speaking, he looked around carefully.
Li Qingxian and Han Anbo also looked around.
The terrain of the river is low, and the terrain on both sides is slightly higher. The vegetation is lush and only a loess road separates the weeds and trees.
Thirty feet away on the left, a gray-white stone bridge spans the river and connects the loess roads on both sides.
On the opposite side, there is a continuous slope, and behind a group of trees, the roof of a white wooden building emerges. Han Anbo said: "There is a village ahead."
Wu Jingtian nodded and said, "Don't worry about them. We are here to hunt monsters. We will wait until we get to Dadong County."
Everyone quickened their pace and came to the river. The old cow also quickened his pace. After being unloaded from the carriage, he went straight to the river. Inside, mooing to drink water.
When more than half of them reached the river, they took off their clothes and plunged into the river.
Some rushed into the deep water to swim, some fished for fish and shrimp in the shallow bay, and some took a refreshing bath.
Li Qingxian stood on the shore and found that Ye Han and the four people had not entered the water.
Suddenly, someone scolded: "You bitch Liu Xiang, I'm drinking water below, and you are peeing upstream?" "
Fart, can you see my urine?"
"I can't see the urine, I can see you lying in the water Shake that soft spout."
"..."
Everyone laughed and cursed together.
Several people poured out the water in the bamboo tubes and fetched water further upstream, scolding Liu Xiang as they walked.
Liu Xiang didn't care about other people's scoldings, he lay in the water with a smile, enjoying the sunshine, and from time to time the river water would splash on his face.
He is thick-set, but has slender eyebrows. There is a mole under his right eye. The sparkling river surface was reflected in those hazel eyes.
Li Qingxian looked at the naked night guards in the water with a little envy.
After thinking about it, forget it, Ye Han didn't want to go into the water, and he didn't go into the water either.
Bang, bang, bang...
The sun was low, and a bright snowman stepped into the shallow water and rushed into the water. With a splash, there was a thunder at the bottom of the river.
Everyone hurriedly looked around and saw Yu Ping emerging from the water in the center of the violent water waves, wiping the water marks on his face happily.
Han Anbo scolded: "If Yu Pingqian uses more force, the big wave that breaks out can knock me over."
Everyone laughed.
Everyone played for a while, and several young night guards, led by Yu Ping, fished for fish and shrimps.
Not long after, a few night guards were about to prepare lunch when they saw a funeral procession wearing sackcloth and mourning emerging from the top of the slope on the opposite bank. They were playing and playing and marching slowly forward.
Some people held white cloth banners, some scattered paper money in the sky, and some held bright lanterns. A few people at the front of the team were crying and shouting, and a few young men behind them were carrying dark coffins.
Han Anbo only glanced at it and said: "That man was killed by a demon. Look at the coffin. There are diagonal marks carved with a knife. They are the way Yanzhou people imitate wolf claws. I hope that my family will not be killed by demons again in the future." Killed."
Wu Jingtian asked: "Is it dangerous?"
Han Anbo glanced at the people in front of him who were wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning, and said: "The family members have dark skin, rough hands, and are skinny, and the mourning clothes are all used, and they died of poverty. People. There is also a funeral for an ordinary person's death, which means that not many people died. If many people died, they would just be buried hastily. There were men, women, old and young at the funeral, so they must not be afraid of monsters. This shows that the monsters are not strong, and they are probably He walked alone and could not surpass the tenth rank. He did not dare to enter the village and only killed a lone man."
Wu Jingtian frowned and said to a night guard next to him: "Go to the team and ask the security guard Li Zheng or the person in charge to lead you. Come here and ask what's going on. We are from the Monster Hunting Department after all, so we need to investigate."
The night guard greeted the funeral procession, and the others got dressed one after another and came ashore.
Not long after, an old man wearing rough brown clothes and white mourning clothes walked over with the night guard. When he got close, he saw the iron rhinoceros armor on Wu Jingtian's chest, then looked at the brocade clothes on everyone's body, and knelt down on the ground with a plop. , said loudly: "Please Lord Ye Wei, please save Fangyuan Village. Two people have died in ten days."
"Who is your name? Tell me what happened." Wu Jingtian asked.
