Chapter 360
360 Chapter 360 old acquaintance
Just a few minutes after Xia Pingan and the flame rhinoceros flew past the mirror, five Summoners, two Naga mages, and three magic Wolf mages flew down from the valley. They flew into the dense forest together and quickly searched.
After searching for five to six minutes, a Naga mage suddenly saw the mirror Magic artifact. The magic artifact was hidden in the grass, and if one did not pay attention, they would not have noticed it.
The Naga mage didn’t say a word. As she flew past the magic artifact, she stuck it to her tail and kept the mirror in her robe. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary on the outside, and she continued to pretend to look for it.
......
A few minutes later.
hey, where’s the magic weapon? it fell from above just now. It should be nearby, ” a Summoner muttered as he searched for it, while being on guard against the mages around him.
“It should be around here. Did someone pick it up?” A magic Wolf wizard roared and revealed his white teeth. He scanned the surroundings of the valley with his sharp eyes.
The valley was foggy, and it was night time, so visibility was very poor. Just now, everyone was delayed and didn’t rush down immediately, so they weren’t sure if the face-revealing mirror Magic artifact had been picked up by others.
The Naga mage who had picked up the face-revealing mirror rolled her eyes in a strange way. After flicking her tongue, she suddenly said, ” if someone was hiding in this Valley before, then the thing that was dropped from above might have been picked up by someone. We’d better split up and look for it now to see if there are other people in this Valley. If we continue to delay here, the person who picked up the magic weapon might have already left the valley.
The few mages felt that what the Naga mage said made sense.
The magic Wolf magician roared and looked in the direction of the valley. He was about to chase after Yingying.
A skinny human Summoner squinted at the Naga mage and sneered. wait a minute. There’s another possibility. One of us has already picked up the ritual implement but has hidden it. He’s still pretending to look for it, so the ritual implement disappeared. The person who picked it up must be thinking of how to leave this place without arousing suspicion. It’s best to pretend to look for others and then escape far away.
Upon hearing this, the demonic Wolf sorcerer who had just taken a few steps forward suddenly stopped. He turned his head and stared at the Naga sorcerer who had picked up the magic weapon.
The other two who were about to leave also stopped and stared at the Naga mage.
The Naga mage took a step back and held the snake bone staff. She looked at the skinny human Summoner with a dangerous gaze and immediately made the bogus accusation with a fierce expression. are you trying to frame me? ”
hehe, this Valley is so deep and hidden. Even if someone is hiding in this Valley, it can’t be so coincidental that they’re hiding near the falling ritual implement. Although we were delayed for a while above, we still came down very quickly. Even if someone is hiding in this Valley, they may not come as fast as us, not to mention that they have to leave. So the greatest possibility is that the ritual implement wasn’t picked up by the person hiding in this Valley, nor did it disappear for no reason. I wasn’t sure if it was you when you didn’t say anything, but now that you’ve spoken, I know that it’s most likely that you’ve picked up a magic tool, the Kasaya.”
The skinny human Summoner analyzed the situation in a shrewd manner. He then took a step forward and looked at the Naga mage with a greedy gaze. He threatened, ” hand over the magic weapon. You can’t keep it for yourself. If you want to keep it for yourself, let’s see if you have the life to waste.
The other Summoners and demonic Wolf mages surrounded the Naga mage with hostile expressions.
The other Naga mage hesitated. He did not know if he should stand in front of the Naga mage of his own race or force the Naga mage to hand over his magic weapon.
The Naga mage who had picked up the magical instrument was about to say something. All of a sudden, his face changed and his body trembled violently. The summoners and demonic Wolf mages who had surrounded him thought that the Naga mage was going to use some secret magic. They were all startled and hurriedly retreated a few steps.
However, the Naga mage did not cast any spells. Instead, her body trembled more and more violently, and a pained expression appeared on her face. Her eyes and mouth widened in horror, and her staff fell to the ground. She grabbed her neck and throat with both hands, trying to make a sound, but no sound came out.
hehe, you want to force us to retreat with such a little trick? you’re too naive, ” the thin human Summoner sneered and continued to take two steps closer.
Then, the human Summoner saw the scales on the shivering Naga mage start to fall off one by one. Her originally shiny eyes instantly turned grayish-white, and her skin shriveled up. Her entire body was like a deflated balloon or a dried radish under the sun. After losing all the moisture in her body, she rapidly shrank.
BOOM! BOOM! the body suddenly exploded when it had shrunk to half its original size. It turned into a rolling blood-red mist. Behind the blood-red mist was the reflection mirror, which was floating in the air and emitting a strange blood-red light. It was like an open blood-red eye, staring at the others present.
“What is this?” The summoners and magic Wolf mages who had gathered around were stunned by this sudden change.
However, before they could react, the bloody mist suddenly turned into nine bloody lights and shot towards the summoners and mages. They were unable to resist and were entangled by the nine bloody lights. Then, the nine bodies dried up in an instant, just like the Naga mage, and exploded into balls of bloody light.
The bronze mirror floating in the air absorbed the blood light in an instant. Then, the bronze mirror suddenly exploded and turned into hundreds of diamond-shaped fragments. Those diamond-shaped fragments floated in the air and connected together to form a gate.
In the next second, zu Motian, the Hierarch of blood demon church with red hair and beard and a vertical eye between his eyebrows strode out of the bloody gate with overwhelming demonic Qi.
......
A few minutes before zu Motian stepped out of the bronze mirror gate, Xia Pingan and the flaming rhinoceros had already flown out of the valley, far away from the battle site outside the secluded Mountain City.
Outside the valley, there was a winding mountain road leading to the great Shang kingdom. On the mountain road, a black four-wheeled carriage with a lantern was parked by the side of the mountain. One of the wheels of the carriage had sunk into a pit on the road. For a moment, the carriage could not move.
Such a carriage would not have attracted Xia ping ‘an’s attention at all. However, when Xia ping’ an’s eyes swept over the carriage, he saw a familiar face standing beside it.
Jing Yuxing, elder Jing.
This was Xia Pingan’s ” roommate ” when he first arrived in Shangjing by boat. The two of them took the boat to Shangjing together and spent half a month on the boat together. Xia Pingan had benefited a lot from this.
Jing Yuxing opened a small bookstore in Shangjing city and stood aloof from the world. When Xia Pingan was in Shangjing city, she even took the time to visit and have tea with Jing Yuxing in the bookstore, but that was all.
Elder Jing stood beside the carriage that had sunk into the ground, looking helplessly at the coachman who was trying to pull the carriage out of the pit. However, no matter how hard the coachman and the two horses pulling the carriage tried, the wheel was still a little short of coming out of the pit.
Why would elder Jing be in the secluded Mountain City?
The outskirts of the city were not peaceful. With a carriage stuck here in the middle of the night, if two desert bandits or bandits came, the people below would be in danger.
A strange thought rose in his heart, but Xia ping ‘an did not delay. He called out to the flame rhinoceros, and Xia ping’ an dispelled his illusion. He descended from the sky and landed near the lights of the carriage, just enough for elder Jing and the coachman to see his face clearly.
Seeing Xia ping ‘an descend from the sky, the coachman, who was directing the horses to step and trying to pull the carriage out of the pit, was shocked. However, elder Jing’s face was calm and he was not surprised. He even smiled and said to the coachman, ” look, the helpers are here to help.
this old man’s carriage seems to have encountered some problems, ” Xia Pingan said as he walked over with a smile. Without waiting for the coachman and elder Jing to speak, he came to the side of the carriage and placed one hand under the carriage. The heavy Carriage base and carriage were gently lifted by Xia Pingan, and the wheel that had been stuck in the pit was lifted out of the pit.
old Sir, the car is fine now. We can go now, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said to elder Jing with a smile.
thank you, thank you, Qianqian. elder Jing looked at the sky and stroked his beard. He said to Xia Pingan directly, ” it’s late now and the mountain roads are not peaceful. Our carriage has been stuck here for too long. I’m a little worried about traveling alone. I think you’re quite capable since you’re so high and mighty. Can you escort me for a while and keep me company? ”
Jing Yuxing’s request was a little demanding, but at the moment, it seemed reasonable.
that’s good. I happen to be going the same way as old Mister. I’ll have to trouble old Mister! Xia Pingan waved his hand, and the flame rhinoceros, which had turned into an Eagle Owl, landed on his shoulder.
The coachman opened the door of the carriage and let the two of them in. He then closed the door and continued to drive the carriage on the road at a moderate pace.
The interior of the carriage was spacious and elegant. Other than the sofa at the back, there was a table, a wine table, and a small bookcase. The carriage was like a traveler’s carriage, a divine tool for long-distance travel in this world.
“The past few days, the secluded mountains have not been peaceful. Why did you take a carriage to the secluded mountains alone?” Xia Pingan sat in the carriage and asked.
“I came to the secluded mountain to see an old friend!” Elder Jing smiled and looked at Xia Pingan with a warm gaze.
“Old Sir, have you seen an old friend?”
of course I did. That day, I went to Shangjing with my old friend by boat. Today, I left the secluded mountain with my old friend by carriage. This is fate. Rivers and mountains change easily, but my old friend is safe. Not bad, not bad. This is also one of the greatest joys in life.
As soon as elder Jing said this, Xia Pingan was shocked.
But before Xia Pingan could say anything, the flame rhinoceros that had turned into an Eagle Owl suddenly transformed into a human with a bang. A sharp dagger was placed on old man Jing’s neck in an instant. It glared at old man Jing fiercely and said, ” old thing, I can tell that you’re not an ordinary person. The carriage that was stuck in the road just now was a trap to set us up. Tell me, what’s your purpose? if you dare to play tricks, I’ll stab a few holes in your neck.
...
The flame rhinoceros did not know of the past between old Jing and Xia ping ‘an. He only felt that this “old thing” was too suspicious.
don’t be rude! Xia Pingan quickly stopped her.
Elder Jing smiled and flicked his finger. The flame rhinoceros, which had just turned into a human, suddenly turned into a silly frog with a bang and landed on the table in the carriage. It raised its head in confusion to look at Xia ping ‘an and elder Jing, who had suddenly become “incomparably tall.”
The flame rhinoceros still did not understand what was going on. He wanted to speak, but he only cried out twice ... And then, the flame rhinoceros was stunned!
Elder Jing stretched out his hand and took out a Blue Lamp from the carriage. The lampshade was turned upside down, and with a light pull, the frog-like flame rhinoceros was placed on the table with the lampshade, unable to even jump.
