Riding the Pheonix Chapter 335: Small town

After walking half a mile, Mingwei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Duofu behind him.

"What is that in your hand?"

Duofu was stunned for a moment, then raised the small wooden sign in his hand: "Miss..."

"Where did it come from?" Her expression was serious.

Duofu replied: "I picked it up outside the tent last night." He asked uneasily, "Miss, is there something wrong with this thing? But I didn't notice any strange smell..."

Mingwei let out a breath and said, "No wonder you, an ordinary Xuanshi, really can't notice the problem."

She called Hou Liang, got off her horse and said, "Take the people and go all the way to the fork in Hutou Mountain and wait for us there."

"Miss Ming," Hou Liang asked hurriedly, "what happened?"

Mingwei looked at the small wooden sign in Duofu's hand: "There are some things that need to be dealt with. You can wait up to three days. If you don't see anyone after three days, leave immediately. Whether it's to Hu Di or back to Gaotang, it doesn't matter. ”

Hou Liang said, "Auntie, if you don't go to Hudi, why should I go?" Looking for a fight? With a smile on his face: "In that case, why not find two people to accompany the girl..."

"No need, too many people are troublesome." Mingwei buckled his waist bag and called Duofu, "You don't need to take your horse with you, let's go."

Duofu agreed, got off his horse, and neatly carried the necessary things on his back.

Looking at the caravan in front of him, Mingwei thought for a moment, took out a jade pendant and threw it to Hou Liang: "When you are resting, remember to set up a barrier and place this object at the center of the formation."

Hou Liang is quite experienced in mystical arts. He knew at a glance that it was a magic weapon that she had cultivated. He was overjoyed: "Yes, Miss Ming."

Mingwei glanced at the Yang family generals in the caravan and said calmly: "Let's go."

The generals understood the situation, mounted their horses and gave orders to set off.

Miss Ming doesn’t trust this old boy, so they need to keep an eye on him on the road.

The caravan left, and Duofu felt uneasy and asked her: "Miss, did I make a mistake?"

Mingwei shook his head: "You didn't make a mistake, it was me who was careless."

She really didn't expect that someone would lead them here in the wild mountains. It wasn't until she found the small wooden sign in Duofu's hand that she realized something was wrong.

Yes, the reason why they took the wrong path was because someone deliberately guided them.

She took the small wooden sign and looked through it carefully.

This thing is one inch long and one finger wide. I don’t know what kind of paint was used on it, but it has weird lines painted on it. The thing was very old, no wonder Duofu had no doubts when he picked it up.

Who would suspect that there is an old thing left in the wasteland outside the town?

Mingwei recognizes this pattern.

It is a rune commonly used by monks in Hudi. If it is engraved on a small wooden sign like this, it should be an amulet.

But if it appears here, it must have another purpose.

Mingwei handed the small wooden sign back to Duofu and said, "If you encounter something like this in the future, you should pay more attention. Such regular characters probably have special meanings."

Duofu was taught: "Yes." Then he asked, "Miss, what is the mystery of it?"

"Try to sink the mana into it."

Duofu did as he was told and his expression soon changed.

She felt that her magic power touched a slightly hard "core".

"There is nothing wrong with it, it's just marked. As I expected, the reason why we took the wrong path in Hutoushan was because we were misled. We can go back and find out if it's the same over there. mark."

It's her fault that she doesn't know the way. When walking, she mostly only senses whether there is any problem with the qi around her, instead of using her eyes to see more. For Xuanshi, the easiest trap to fall into is not the clever formation, but the misdirection of this perception.

"Are we being plotted against? What should we do next?"

Mingwei led the horse and walked to a remote place: "I don't know what this man's intention was in bringing us here, so we came back to see what happened."

She patted the horse's butt, motioned it to hide itself, and returned to the town with Duofu.

This Zhaoye Jade Lion is full of spirituality and is convenient in case of running away.

Just when Duofu was about to ask how he could sneak into the town, he saw Mingwei walking directly over...

"Lao Zhang!"

The old man woke up directly this time and looked at her in surprise: "Why is the girl back again?" Looking behind her, there was no one except a maid with a red mark on her face.

Mingwei replied: "I'm too tired after traveling for many days, so I want to rest in the town for two days."

"What about the others?"

"They probably don't feel tired, right?" Mingwei said without changing his expression, "My boss is determined to hurry up, so I will leave the team on my own and rest for two days."

Duofu thought silently, Miss, do some people believe what you say?

"Really?" The old man laughed dryly, "But there is no inn in our town..."

Before he finished speaking, a gold ingot was handed to him: "I would also like to ask my father-in-law to do me a favor. I can make a room in your house."

"I'm afraid..."

Another ingot.

The old man moved his lips and did not dare to speak anymore.

Staring at Yuan Bao for a while, he squeezed out a smile again: "In that case, please ask Zhang San who runs the tavern to clean up the room and come out!"

Ming smiled slightly and gave him both ingots: "Thank you."

The old man held his staff and led them slowly into the town.

Mingwei felt that the little white snake in her sleeve shrank in again, shivering.

The town only has one street, and the pub is pitifully small. The tavern was opened by a middle-aged couple. The old man went over and said a few words, and they nodded.

After a while, a middle-aged woman came over to lead the way: "Girl, follow me." Her tone was a little stiff, but her manners were very good.

The woman led them upstairs and pushed open one of the rooms: "This was my son's room. It was cleaned just now. I hope the girl won't dislike it."

Mingwei glanced at it and nodded: "It will be great if you can live with it, thank you."

The woman bowed and withdrew.

After the door closed, Duofu couldn't wait to ask: "Miss, did they believe it?"

Ming Wei chuckled, took out a magic talisman and lit it, then said: "It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, we just need to come in."

Since I lured them here, I have to find a way to show up myself, right?

Mingwei was very casual. It was still early, so he sat in the tavern and looked at the townspeople who occasionally came to drink.

When night fell, I borrowed the stove from them, baked bread with Duofu, solved the problem of dinner by myself, and then went up to rest.

Duofu couldn't sleep, so he sat in the dark and listened to what was going on outside.

There was nothing but the sound of wind.

I don’t know how long it took ~IndoMTL.com~ Mingwei felt the little white snake in his sleeve move and said softly: "Sir, there seems to be a living person here."

Mingwei turned over and sat up: "You show me the way."

"Yes."

Mingwei folded two paper figures and threw them in the room. He and Duofu quietly climbed out of the window and landed on the street.

It was pitch dark outside, without any light.

Following the guidance of the little white snake, they quickly found an abandoned cellar, with someone vaguely guarding it.

With a thought in mind, Mingwei retreated further away with Duofu and whispered: "Go over there and set a fire."
