Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 37
"As a father, how can you not be in a hurry if your child is lost for a few days? If it were you, you might run faster than him!"

As the flames faded away, Chen Yuan looked down at the small clothes in her hand, and handed them to the fat Taoist to go around the ruined temple. Since those people stayed here for two days, they would definitely leave traces of their lives, unless These people have all reached the realm of bigu, neither eating nor drinking.

Walked around twice and brushed away the fallen leaves in an open space beside the temple. Sure enough, they found traces of burning. Those people covered it up very well. Chen Yuan stepped into the foundation building, her facial senses were sharp, and it was difficult to smell the residual smell of fireworks.

Waving his sleeves and raising his hands, the mana carried the soil and poured out, there were actually a lot of bones left, judging from the size, they should be chickens and ducks, separated from the soil, piled aside, Sun Zhengde curiously picked one up and weighed it in his hand.

"Boss, you don't want to use these things..."

Before he finished speaking, the bone in his hand suddenly broke off and fell to the ground. Over there, Chen Yuan waved her sleeves with a 'squeak', pinched her fingers to guide her from the forest, and a wisp of fresh air fell on the pile of chicken bones. .

The bones scattered on the ground seemed to be looking for their own position, and they scrambled to be inlaid on them. On the bare bone frame, the chicken claws picked up the ground, picked up the head, and then jumped up, the neck bone was connected to the head, and immediately Flapping a pair of wing bones, he ran away quickly under the eyes of the fat Taoist.

"Looking at its posture, it should have been a hen when he was alive. Hey, that's not right!" Sun Zhengde reacted and got up hastily, "Boss, it ran away."

"It's in a hurry to get revenge."

This is a spell that I have learned before, but unfortunately I have no chance to use it. It is similar to the paper piercing technique in the paper frog, but it uses the resentment attached to the bones to reshape the bones. For those who eat it, I can feel it naturally.

Chen Yuan patted the Taoist on the shoulder, and called to the master who was dozing off on the head bit by bit. The fat Taoist pulled the bullock cart here when it left the city.

In the light of the lantern hanging on the tent corner, the old cow watched the chicken skeleton running past with a pair of bone wings clattering in front of him, tilted his head in a daze, and blinked his eyes suspiciously.

'Chicken bones...can also be fine? '

At this time, the sound of footsteps spread, the old cow turned his head, and three figures flew into the car, shaking the body of the car, and then heard the voice of the owner from the car.

"Follow it!"

Moo!
The big green cow let out a breath, stared at the chicken bone running wildly in front, paved its hooves and rushed forward suddenly, the crossbar on its body pulled the bucket and rolled out with a swish, the frame shook violently.

The other party has been walking for two days, if they don't stop halfway, it will be very difficult to catch up.

But those people couldn't just steal children in Linjiang County, and they might really stay for a while along the way.On the trembling bullock cart, Chen Yuan looked southwest. When she came to the river before, she had inquired about the nearby roads. There was only one road to go there, which led to Tongshan County on the north bank of the Canglan River.

The distance is more than 100 miles, even if you pretend to be a caravan with a group of stolen children, the speed will not be too fast...

Thoughts flashed through her mind one by one, Chen Yuan took out the prepared speed talisman and stuck it on Lao Niu's ass.

Moo! !

The old cow raised its head and let out a long hiss, caught up with the chicken bone running ahead, directly attached its head and held it in its mouth, and ran crazily along the road.

The night wind blows the leaves, the moonlight elongates the figure of the bullock cart, and the lantern with its swaying horns blinks and disappears at the end of the road.

To the southwest, there is a night sky without stars and moons on the boundary of the Tongshan Mountains. Gloomy black clouds gather, and the light rain hits the dilapidated thatched huts, weaving bead curtains.

In the mist, three carriages stopped in front of the abandoned thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.

The figure in a black robe and coir raincoat opened the carriage, looked at the pots inside, and then went back to the eaves to shelter from the rain.

There are seven other silent figures around him, with different shapes and expressions, some sitting in front of the bonfire to drive away the chill, or standing under the eaves silently watching the falling rain curtain, occasionally their faces flashed by the fire, revealing With a fierce look, he spit on the ground.

"It's raining at the wrong time, it's so cold."

Over there, the man sitting in front of the fire had no wet clothes on his clothes, and a little splashed water droplets fell on the fabric and instantly turned into a wisp of white smoke. He looked at the talking brother with a blank expression.

"What's the hurry, as long as the 'goods' are not lost, it doesn't matter how late it is."

"Lao Qi is worried about the children of the Xu family in Linjiang County... the military is difficult to deal with. If you look around and meet us, it doesn't matter if there are dozens of people. If you call the army, it will not be easy for us to leave. .” Someone on the other side said in a low voice.

"Heh... my ecstasy is not so easy to be seen through." The figure looking at the fire grinned, "... how can it be compared to those idiots who keep corpses, fortunately they are dead, otherwise I don't know what to do when I go back." what kind of punishment."

The others around fell silent.

The wind was blowing in the forest, and when the raindrops fell on his face with the wind, the flames stirred slightly, and the person who spoke suddenly raised his face and looked towards the road ahead.

He suddenly raised his hand, and attracted the falling bead curtain to the fire, and while extinguishing the bonfire, he whispered: "Be careful, someone is coming from over there."

However, he extinguished the bonfire after all a little late.

"drive!"

"There is a fire in the forest over there... it has gone out!"

"Go and see!"

One after another, the iron hooves stepped on the potholes and splashed water onto the road. More than a dozen figures on horseback galloped through the rain. Among them, the scouts were sharp-eyed. There was a little light on the dark roads and mountains, and they couldn't escape his sight.

A knight running behind immediately raised the burning torch in his hand and raised the army flag.In less than a moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes galloped from behind.

They were divided into two groups, one group explored the road first, then slowed down to let the horses rest, and then let the second group of knights come up alternately.

Now the semaphore waving from the torch has a different meaning.

Among the twelve cavalrymen who came up from behind, Xu Huaiyu was the leader. His face was covered with rain, and he immediately rushed over with all his hands in the direction pointed by the scout.

They encountered three groups of business travelers along the way, no matter whether they were carriages or goods, they checked them all, and now they were approaching the border of Tongshan, and if they couldn't find them anymore, they had to send someone to the county government over there for assistance.

"Go and see!"

Wiping off the rain on his face, Xu Huaiyu's hands trembled a little, and he was extremely desperate to find the child again.Not long after, a group of 30 people came to the foot of the mountain by stepping on the accumulated water on the ground. In the light of the torches, there was an abandoned thatched hut. When they saw three carriages parked there, and a rough count of seven or eight people.

Xu Huaiyu couldn't help being excited, which happened to be consistent with what the farmer described.

Immediately dismounted, walked over with the head of the sword, a group of soldiers behind him drew their blades and followed behind, walking casually, secretly encircling this place and protecting their own family in the middle.

"General, what are you going to do?" Over there, a tall and thin man came over to please him, first he bowed his hands, and while speaking, he took out the money bag and stuffed it to Xu Huaiyu, "Master, we are going Businessmen going to Tongshan, rest here for one night, and enter the city at dawn."

Seeing Xu Huaiyu's face in the light of the fire, among the eight people over there, someone's pupils shrank, probably recognizing who the other person was, and quietly touched behind him.

At this time, Xu Huaiyu threw the money bag handed over into the rainwater, looked at the tall and thin man in front of him with a flattering smile, and squinted his eyes.

"I didn't say that I inspected the business trip, so I declared myself so soon?"

"Isn't it because of Jun Ye's attire..."

Xu Huaiyu snorted, glanced at the other seven people across the way, and then looked at the three carriages next to him, "Since you're selling goods, what's in the carriage?"

As soon as the words came out, a figure under the eaves moved, and was pulled back by his companions, and said in a low voice: "He has the spirit of a dragon and a tiger."

At this time, the tall and thin man who came forward to please him smiled obsequiously, and went to pull the curtain of the car open.

"Look, military master, they are all high-quality sea fish trafficked from the south of the Yangtze River. Bring them back to my master."

"yes?!"

Xu Huaiyu looked at him suspiciously, and took a few steps with his hands behind his back. The moment he distanced himself from the man, he turned around and waved his hand: "Come on, go in and bring out a jar to see if it's a good sea fish. Or... a stolen child!"

In an instant.

The complexion of the tall and thin man and the other seven people under the eaves changed wildly.
