Whose fault is it that it is almost dawn, Ji Xingmian curled up his fingertips, wanting to ask him why he didn't speak, but when he came to his mouth, he remembered his request just now, and he stopped the car and tightened his expression again.Feng Wuxi seemed to notice his movements, bent the corners of his lips and wanted to laugh, but was glared at by Ji Xingmian, and obediently took it back.The two pushed the door in one after the other, and Ji Xingmian saw the things inside, his eyes slightly condensed.I saw that the right side of the room was full of medicinal herbs, and the shape was the ecstasy grass from the Xiyue Kingdom that Ji Xingmian had speculated before.On the left side of the room are rows of wooden shelves, each with transparent basins of water and ecstasy grass piled up in the notches on the sides.Judging by this, it seems that they are raising some kind of living creature with Ecstasy Grass.Ji Xingmian walked closer to the left, wanting to see the contents of the water basin, but Feng Wutian pulled him and pointed to the ground not far away.There was a small piece of ground white powder and granular crumbs, which at first glance was nothing special, but Ji Xingmian suddenly remembered the Yuxi worm on those who had been possessed before.He took two steps forward, took out the stones made of the Yuxi worm from Feng Lingxuan and compared them, and found that it was indeed the same kind.If he said this, I am afraid that Ji Xingmian was also standing closer to the wooden frame in the basin, and sure enough, he smelled a very faint smell of sea.It was confirmed that the Yuxi worm came from Rakshasa City, but Ji Xingmian was still not easy in his heart.Ghost cultivation is different from ordinary human cultivation, the place outside the realm is close to the reincarnation path, and the environment is special, so they can survive here.If you leave this realm, not only will your cultivation be greatly damaged, but even your life will be threatened.Disrupting the situation in the Beiwang Dynasty has no interest in Rakshasa City, and they will do this, most of them are still instructed by others.Considering the problem that might be discovered, Ji Xingmian didn't touch the things in the house, and after confirming that there were only Yuxi worms and ecstasy grass inside, he took Feng Wuday out together.Hanging the lock again, Ji Xingmian glanced at the sky, and saw that the sky was not fully lit, so he decided to investigate in the house again.Change back.Ji Xingmian looked at the humanity around him.Feng Wutian moved his lips, as if he wanted to be coquettish to make him change his mind, but seeing Ji Xingmian's expression that could not be refused, he closed his mouth when he saw it, obediently changed back to the appearance of a little black dragon, and rubbed it on Ji Xingmian's shoulder flatteringly.Ji Xingmian deliberately rubbed its head twice, then tucked it into his sleeve and followed the direction that the two had left before.In the middle of the night, the two of them had long since disappeared, but Ji Xingmian had already memorized the structure of the entire mansion in his mind when he was counting the rules of the guard shift outside.Coupled with the footsteps of the two people leaving earlier, he also remembered the general direction, and after a little investigation, he locked on several of the courtyards.The distance between these courtyards was not far, Ji Xingmian quickly finished looking for two of them, and when he arrived at the third courtyard, he looked around and didn't see anything unusual, and was about to leave, but the little black dragon suddenly nodded on the back of his hand with his tail, leaning out and pointing in one direction.Ji Xingmian looked in the direction it pointed out, and found that the blades of grass there were rustling for a while, and half of the black-clothed boy came out on the spot.The young man was in a messy posture, his hair was tangled in blades of grass, and his clothes seemed to have been ripped from someone, and they barely hung on his body.After the boy came out of the bushes, he looked around and found no one before he completely emerged from the shadows of the bushes.This made Ji Xingmian see his face clearly, he was slightly stunned, and quickly matched the person in front of him with the niece that Gu Qiang asked them to find before setting off.He took a closer look, only to realize that the young man below was actually a girl, but his appearance and behavior were really a little informal, and he didn't recognize it.Ji Xingmian recalled for a moment and remembered that the girl's name was Gu Lan.Gu Lan didn't seem to notice his existence at all, and after identifying the direction, she went to the root of the wall to prepare to climb over the wall.Ji Xingmian observed her for a while, and found that the spiritual veins on her body seemed to be sealed, and she didn't climb up for a while, and she almost fell a few times.Thinking of the conversation between the two women before, Ji Xingmian quickly realized that Gu Lan was most likely the heir that the current city lord of Rakshasa City wanted to decide.But this is Luo Na's mansion, why is Gu Lan locked up here, doesn't it mean that the current city lord and Luo Na have not been on the same page since childhood?
Ji Xingmian thought in his heart, raised his eyes and saw that Gu Lan was about to fall down again, and was about to pass, but suddenly felt a tremor underground.A curtain of light lit up from the edge and quickly closed.It was Gu Lan's escape that was discovered!
It turns out that this mansion is not without a magic circle, but it is not opened to hide its specialness.Gu Lan at the base of the wall also seemed to realize this and climbed harder, but with her current strength, it was obviously impossible for her to dare to run out before the formation was closed.The mocking voices were getting closer and closer, Ji Xingmian immediately made a decision, flew over and pressed the person's shoulder, and flew out of the courtyard directly with the person.The timing of his card was very clever, just when the circle was about to close but did not close, and outsiders only focused on the courtyard when they saw the circle about to close, and did not notice their side at all.After a few ups and downs, Ji Xingmian calculated the distance and led people to a remote alley.The reason why he stopped was because Gu Lan struggled too hard.Ji Xingmian was afraid that she was a girl, and it was not good to touch her too much, so she simply stopped.See clearly.Ji Xingmian said: I am a living person like you.Hearing this, Gu Lan's struggle was finally a little smaller, but the gaze that looked at him was still vigilant.As long as she can understand the words, it's okay, Ji Xingmian After confirming that her eyes were clear and she was not affected by the Ecstasy Grass, the hand that pressed her shoulder was released.The little black dragon got out of his sleeve, climbed into the hem of his coat and pulled out the seal letter that Gu Qiang had given them before leaving.That's it.Ji Xingmian took the seal letter and handed it to Gu Lan, it was General Gu who asked us to come to you.Gu Lan took the seal letter, blinked and stared at them for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at his throat, whined a few times indistinctly, and gestured twice with his hands and feet.Is it a mute spell?
Ji Xingmian stretched out his hand and pressed it on her throat in the air, no trace of the forbidden word spell was found, and he was puzzled, Gu Lan seemed to see that he didn't understand all the time, and he was a little anxious, so he reached out and was about to grab his hand, but the little black dragon snapped and opened it with his tail.Feng Wutian came out in a human form, frowned and stared at her for a while, and suddenly said: There seems to be something in her throat.Chapter 40 The two of them patted their backs and poured water, and after working for a while, Gu Lan finally spit out the things.It was a half-sized bead of absorbent water, almost inky from the medicinal juice.I think it was because of this thing that Gu Lan didn't lose his mind by the medicine made from Ecstasy Grass.Feng Wuxi said incredulously: Even if you want to use it to absorb water, you don't have to swallow it in your stomach.Whoever swallowed it!
Gu Lan leaned against the wall for a while, poured a few more mouthfuls of water and rinsed his mouth, and then continued: I have always held it in my mouth, who knew that you would suddenly come out and take me away, which scared me a lot, and it rolled down.Almost didn't suffocate me.Gu Lan said, and bent down to pick up the beads again.She didn't dislike being dirty, she rinsed it with the kettle given by Ji Xingmian and stuffed it back into her clothes.Ji Xingmian saw her movements, took another look at her messy appearance, and silently took back the handkerchief that had been handed halfway.Outside is not a place to talk, and those people are afraid that they will soon chase after Gu Lan after they find out that Gu Lan is not trapped by the formation.The three of them quickly dealt with the traces on the ground, and went back to the courtyard where Ji Xingmian and the others had been taken.The original broken entrance was still there, and the three of them entered in turn, returning to the original courtyard.Feng Lingxuan was sitting under the tree looking at the jade slip that Ji Xingmian gave before leaving, and seeing that they not only came back by themselves, but also brought one more, he raised his eyebrows and asked, what's the matter?
Ji Xingmian was about to explain, but Gu Lan, who was originally at the end, suddenly took a big step to the front, and pointed at Feng Lingxuan with a shocked face and said: It's you!
Feng Lingxuan said inexplicably: Who are you?
Gu Lan: Are you Feng Lingxuan?
Feng Lingxuan: The skirt on his body hasn't been taken off yet, how can Feng Lingxuan admit his identity, and he denied it without thinking about it: No!
Gu Lan pointed to his hand and took it, and his eyes showed a little suspicion.Ji Xingmian asked her, what are you looking for Feng Lingxuan for?
He owes me money!
Gu Lan said.Feng Lingxuan: ???
When did he ever owe money?
Oh?
Feng Wuday, who was on the side, didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said with interest: He still owes you money?
How can it be!
Feng Lingxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out.As soon as he finished answering, he realized that something was wrong, and sure enough, Gu Lan was already glaring at him angrily, and said that it wasn't you!
Liars, lose money!
Now that he has been recognized, Feng Lingxuan simply doesn't pretend, who are you?
He asked, "Do I know you?"
You say I owe you money, what about the IOU?
Gu Lan glared at him for a while, then turned his head with a snort, I don't have an IOU.What more do you say without an IOU.Feng Lingxuan is relieved, little ghost, let me tell you, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence.Ji Xingmian looked at the two of them for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked Gu Landao: Is your mother Xie Zheng?
How do you know!
Gu Lan took two steps back and distanced herself from them, looking vigilant and vigilant, who are you?
Ji Xingmian was silent for a moment, pinched the water trick and washed off the disguise on his face.Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: His Royal Highness the Prince?
I'm not a prince.Ji Xingmian considered that she was at the border all the year round, so she changed her name on the family tree and said: I am Ji Lian.Gu Lan knelt on one knee and saluted with her fists, Ji Xiaowangye.You don't have to call it that outside.Ji Xingmian stretched out his hand and pulled her up, how could you be in the border city, I remember that Gu Lan was not surnamed Gu back then, but surnamed Xie, nearly twenty years ago, that is, Qin Li was born, and the demon cultivator of the Xiyue Kingdom broke the contract and entered that time, and the border city also caused a turmoil.One of the Demon Venerables passed by the border city on a whim, and came to sneak into it on a detour, thanks to Xie Zheng, the eldest lady of the Xie family at that time, who was also in the city, and was the first to notice the arrival of the demon cultivator, and helped the city defenders to help the city defenders, and they were trapped for more than a few months, which saved the lives of the people in the border city.But because of the excessive loss, she finally had a difficult birth, leaving only a baby girl.In order to show respect, the royal family made an exception for the baby girl with a foreign surname and raised her in the imperial capital.Ji Xingmian also met her a few times when he was a child, and he had the impression that the other party was in poor health, and every time he came out, he had a headache and brain fever, and he was clamoring to go home, which was completely different from the girl in front of him who was so arrogant that she almost looked like a boy.As for Gu Qiang's previous remarks, I am afraid that they were also to whitewash the peace and help Xie Lan cover up the past.After all, if the news of the orphans of the martyred generals left in the border city spread, the royal family would be furious, and their faces would not look good.I was going to run out by myself, don't blame Uncle Gu for them.Xie Lan said: The imperial capital is too boring, I don't want to stay there all the time.I don't have to pursue the matter of you running from the imperial capital to the border pass.Ji Xingmian said: But you have to explain to me why you ran to Rakshasa City, you ran out regardless of it, if something happens, you will not be punished, what about the people below, who can afford it?
Xie Lan's face was still a little unconvinced at first, but as Ji Xingmian's words gradually faded, he bit his lip, and finally lowered his head deeply, I'm sorry.I didn't run out after arguing with General Gu.Xie Lan said: I led a team to patrol the city that day, and found a demon cultivator because of the death of his mother, Xie Lan hated the demon cultivator the most, so after discovering that the border city was mixed with the demon cultivator, she was the first to arrest people.But for some reason, she didn't report it immediately, but suppressed the matter and took it back to her mansion for secret interrogation.Nearly twenty years have passed since the events of that year, but no one has revealed to her who the Demon Venerable who caused the border turmoil back then was.Xie Lan insisted on coming to the border pass from the imperial capital to inquire about the affairs of the year, who wanted to even mention the people in the border city didn't know anything about the year, only knew about the siege of the year, but didn't know who the demon cultivator who issued instructions behind the scenes.Nowadays, unlike in the past, few demon cultivators have crossed the border to the border city.A few years have passed, Xie Lan was about to give up hope, but she caught that person at this moment.After several days of interrogation, the demon cultivator finally couldn't stand the torture, and said that the adult he was following was now in Rakshasa City, and he just wanted to have fun before he came to the border city to have a look.After hearing this, Xie Lan packed up his things and ran out, leaving only a letter in the room to indicate his whereabouts.She knew Gu Qiang's habits, and calculated that the other party would go to the room to look for her if she hadn't seen her for a few days, so she ran out with confidence, but she didn't expect that not long after she left the city, she was arrested by Luo Na and brought into Rakshasa City.After listening to this, Ji Xingmian asked her, didn't the outside world say that Luo Na and the current city lord were not compatible?
Why are they pretending!
Xie Lan said excitedly: Every time they come to feed me medicine, I have also heard what kind of communication they use to talk to a man, calling that person to respect the lord or something, saying that the plan is going well, I suspect that they have already taken refuge in Xiyue.Before and after the contact, the truth of the matter was already obvious, the demon cultivator who was mistakenly arrested by Xie Lan was obviously just a pretense, and the purpose was to lure Xie Lan out.As for the reason, it is not difficult to guess, Xie Lan has a special identity, if she can brainwash her through the Yuxi worm and then arrange to return to the imperial capital, she can do more than a star.Thanks to Xie Lan's cleverness, he thought of using absorbent beads to absorb the medicinal juice, so he survived.Things have come to this point, and what they are looking for has come to fruition.The mastermind behind the Jade Creek Worm is Demon Cultivator, and it is likely that it is related to the invasion more than ten years ago, and Xie Lan, who was entrusted by Gu Qiang, has also been found, and there is no need for them to stay in Rakshasa City anymore.Ji Xingmian looked at the other two, what do you think?
Feng Wuyan immediately said that he listened to him, and Feng Lingxuan had been distracted since he heard that Xie Lan's mother was Xie Zheng before, and it took several calls before he came back to his senses.Ah Feng Lingxuan scratched his nose, his expression was a little unnatural, then go to Xiyue.Ji Xingmian also thought so, since he had found the clues, how could there be any reason to let him escape.A few people cleaned up, Feng Wuday and the two went to change their clothes, while Ji Xingmian helped Xie Lan untie the spirit sealing spell on her body, and let her meditate to recover some spiritual power, and when it was dark, she took advantage of the night to leave the mansion.Because of Xie Lan's escape, the entire Rakshasa City was heavily guarded, and patrolling figures could be seen everywhere.After all, Xie Lan has been sealed for so long with spiritual power, and he is not familiar with the use of it, and he was almost discovered in the middle, Ji Xingmian was about to help, but Feng Lingxuan pulled Xie Lan faster than him, narrowly avoiding the patrolling team.There were many people outside, and several people hid in Tibet, and it took a lot of effort to finally come out of Rakshasa City at almost dawn.If you go north for a day, you can return to the border city, and we still have something to do, so we won't send you.Ji Xingmian said to Xie Lan.No.Xie Lan refuses to go back, and I will also go to Xiyue.Ji Xingmian looked at her calmly, I have no reason to take you.I Xie Lan gritted my teeth, I can protect myself, I still remember the voice of that Demon Venerable!
She seemed to have finally found some of her own value, and said ruthlessly: If you don't take me, I won't tell you what his voice is.This time he didn't need Ji Xingmian to speak, Feng Wuyang said it on his behalf, he looked at Xie Lan with a smile, he looked up to himself so much?
Do you think we have no other way to find him than you?
