Chapter 41 White Mist

Lin Jingzhe used the Earth Escape Talisman for the first time, and felt that his entire body was wrapped in a thick layer of soil, and he was moving forward quickly.

It was pitch black all around, with no light at all.

Suddenly, the top of my head felt relaxed, and my whole body broke through the tight feeling. Then, a dazzling light came from the front.

He closed his eyes tightly, and after adjusting, he opened his eyes and found that he and Wang Shiliang appeared in the middle of a desert.

The power of the Earth Escape Talisman was exhausted, and it turned into a streak of gray smoke in his palm, drifting away in the wind.

Wang Shiliang panted heavily, huddled in front of his feet, staring blankly around him, looking dazed.

"Lin, Daozhang Lin, where did you take me?"

"Depth in the desert."

"Ah." Wang Shiliang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "This is definitely not true, this is definitely a deception."

As he spoke, he took steps forward and ran forward with all his strength.

"This person?" Lin Jingzhe rubbed her nose and sat helplessly aside.

When his energy was exhausted, he returned to Lin Jingzhe unhappily.

"Do you believe it?" Lin Jingzhe looked at him and asked.

"I believe it." Wang Shiliang said frustratedly: "Do you have water?"

"No."

"What is that on your back?"

"liquor."

"Why haven't I seen you drink?"

"Why drink?"

"You." Wang Shiliang pointed at him and said, "You and I are about the same age, why do you always speak so dullly? You are just like my father, without any joy."

"Haha." Lin Jingzhe immediately used the water arrow technique, used the wind control technique as a foundation, condensed it into a stream of water, and said: "If you are thirsty, just use your mouth to catch it."

Wang Shiliang had seen this method before, and wanted to check for clues as to whether it was true or not, but his mouth was really thirsty, so without saying anything, he stretched out his head, gurgling and drinking with the help of his mouth.

"Do you have a bronze mirror among your ancestral treasures?"

"Yes." Wang Shiliang replied casually after drinking the water.

"Don't you have a sister? Why didn't the bronze mirror go to her, but to your eldest brother instead?"

"Why are you asking these questions?" Wang Shiliang frowned and suddenly said, "Are you all laughing at my brother for bringing something belonging to a woman?"

"I don't, but I don't know if the other juniors have any thoughts." Lin Jingzhe followed his words and responded.

"My brother is also pitiful. He could only inherit this woman's bronze mirror when he was born."

"How do you say this?"

"This bronze mirror was originally given to my grandpa by the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom. After my grandpa passed away, the bronze mirror was passed to my great-grandfather, then to my grandpa, then to my father, and then to my eldest brother.

Moreover, this mirror can only be passed down to the eldest son, who is also the heir of the family head."

"Since your eldest brother chose to go up the mountain to practice, he also chose to give up his position as the head of the family. Why didn't this mirror be passed directly to you?"

"Why are you interested in this ordinary bronze mirror?" Wang Shiliang looked at Lin Jingzhe suspiciously, "You don't think that mirror is a magic weapon, do you?"

"On a whim, I just thought it was weird. If it were a magic weapon, your elder brother would definitely use it to brag about it to us."

"That's right, that's right." Wang Shiliang said: "My eldest brother likes to brag to others the most, and he also likes to brag to people close to him. Hearing it too much can make calluses grow in his ears..."

When he said this, he suddenly looked unhappy and worried.

"What's wrong?"

"I miss my brother."

"Well, your brother must have missed you in the mountains."

"My brother mentioned me to you?"

"Um."

"Sure enough, my brother misses me too."

Lin Jingzhe didn't talk too much about his brother with him. After all, if he talked too much, there would be traces to follow. Moreover, the clues about the bronze mirror had been obtained. As long as he arrived in Cangzhou City, he could find an excuse to say goodbye to them, and then go back to Cangzhou City.

Sneak into the imperial city and follow the trail to find the next clue.

"Brother Lin, when will we go back?" Wang Shiliang began to change his words and tried to get close to Lin Jingzhe.

"Not going back."

"ah."

"Your Wang family's motorcade should be here soon." Lin Jingzhe explained.

"But I also want to see Brother Lin's soaring skills."

"Didn't I tell you that the Canglang thief is following behind me? If I reveal my method in advance, I won't be able to catch him by surprise."

"Okay." Wang Shiliang said: "How about you use the same method just now to change me into my sister's place and scare my sister?"

"Those methods are very precious, and I can only use them a few times."

"mean."

"Whatever you say."

"Hmph, it's all a lie, what's there to see?" Wang Shiliang turned his head away, feeling depressed. After all, he was only a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, and his nature was to be full of curiosity about everything.

Lin Jingzhe closed her eyes, separated her consciousness, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Everything within a mile is covered by his divine consciousness.

"Brother Lin, why don't you show me other ways." Wang Shiliang felt that sitting alone was too boring, so he shook Lin Jingzhe's arm next to him, blinked and said, "In the worst case, I will introduce my sister to you.

To compensate you?"

"What did you say?"

"I said I would introduce my sister to you."

Lin Jingzhe only felt that this pair of father and son had big brains. One pushed his own daughter and the other pushed his own sister into someone else's arms. As expected, like father, like son.

"Don't you think my sister is pretty?"

"no…"

When night fell, the two of them also returned to Wang's team.

It's night, and the stars are blooming.

Wang's team gathered vehicles and horses to form a formal circle. Outside the circle, there were people guarding the night in all four directions.

In dreams, in the mirror world.

"Miss Lin, this bronze mirror is not from the Wang family."

"Oh." Lin Xiyao responded lightly without any emotion.

"Aren't you a little curious about who gave this bronze mirror to their ancestors of the Wang family?" Lin Jingzhe rubbed her nose and then asked.

"You will always say it." Lin Xiyao said lightly.

"Okay, okay." Lin Jingzhe said helplessly, not trying to show off: "Actually, this bronze mirror was given to them by the ancestors of the Chu State and the ancestors of the Wang family."

"Um."

"Why aren't you curious why the ancestors of the Chu State gave an ordinary mirror to the ancestors of the Wang family?"

"Why should I be curious?" Lin Xiyao's voice was still calm, as if the clues from the mirror could not arouse her interest at all.

"This..." As soon as the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again. Faced with Lin Xiyao's indifferent attitude, he had become accustomed to it sooner.

"I'm going to Cangzhou City to see if I can find any clues for the next step."

"good."

"This trip to Cangzhou seems not to be peaceful. Is the girl..."

"You don't have to go."

"How can this be done? For the girl, I can go up to the mountain of knives and go down to the sea of ​​fire..."

"Smooth talk." Lin Xiyao shouted loudly, and lightly touched the hilt of the sword with her palm, frightened Lin Jingzhe and stopped talking.

"I don't want to hear that."

"Yes, I promise that in the future..."

The Canglang thief leader did not choose to attack by surprise, and Wang's cavalry spent the night safely.

After a night of silence, the horse team set off early the next morning, heading towards the boundless desert.

In the carriage, Xiaoli stared curiously at the wine gourd behind Lin Jingzhe.

"Master, is there wine in your gourd?"

"Um."

"Then why hasn't Xiaoli seen a real person drink it?"

"I don't like drinking."

"Then why is the real person carrying a wine gourd?"

"nice."

"Pfft."

Xiaoli covered her mouth and smiled: "A real person looks good even if he doesn't carry a wine gourd."

"Really?" Lin Jingzhe smiled faintly.

"Then the wine jar behind the real person also contains wine?"

"No." Lin Jingzhe paused, looking a little sad, "That's just a person's thoughts."

"Nianxiang? Xiaoli doesn't understand."

"It's better not to know."

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin."

Wang Shiliang's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage: "Dad calls you to come over for dinner."

That old man Wang Yi called me over for dinner?

Lin Jingzhe was stunned for a while, thinking that the old man wouldn't want to give his daughter to me.

"I'm not hungry, you can eat."

"No, dad insists you go over and says he has something to discuss with you."

"Forcing me to come over?" Lin Jingzhe rubbed her nose and thought: "Then the old man doesn't really want to make a good relationship between his daughter and me, right?"

Take advantage of others and accept disadvantages of others.

Lin Jingzhe did not refuse. After all, he had the bronze mirror handed down from his family. He still had to go through this trip. He couldn't do it too harshly. After all, if he cut the knot quickly and cut off their thoughts, a lot of trouble would be saved.

Wang's horse team walked on the desert for another five days, getting closer and closer to the edge of the desert.

That night, a light rain suddenly fell from the sky. The light rain fell on the dry sand and was evaporated in an instant.

After walking for several days in a row, everyone was exhausted both mentally and physically, and no longer had the same energy as before.

Everyone sat on the temporary turf set up for camping, drank water, ate dry food, and looked at the dark desert, feeling sad in their hearts.

At Xu time, everyone fell asleep one after another.

That night, it was Gu Changshou's turn to lead a vigil.

Although Gu Changshou was the commander-in-chief, because the number of guards was too small, he had no choice but to be incorporated into the night watch establishment.

In the barren desert, a gust of wind suddenly came. The wind was not strong, and it gently blew on people's bodies, which felt very comfortable.

Gu Changshou rested a big knife on the back of his neck and leaned against a carriage, looking at the desert in the distance and feeling the gentleness in the wind.

Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in front of him, causing him to jump up suddenly and shout hurriedly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack."

All the night watchmen trembled one after another and jumped to their feet. Someone rang the brass bell directly. The shrill rumble was heard far away in the desert, and the shrill cry of the nightingale was instantly shocking.

In the gentle night wind, there was suddenly a vague and strange smell.

Gu Changshou frowned. He felt that the smell was a bit strange, but he couldn't remember what was strange. He quickly covered his nostrils and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, please pay attention, there is a strange smell in the wind, so as not to be attacked by thieves." If you are being framed, cover your nostrils and don’t take a deep breath.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out the knife he carried and stared at the white dot in the distance.

The white dots were getting closer and closer, and suddenly I saw that the white dots were not human figures, they were clearly white mist blowing with the breeze.

He frowned, what trick does this Canglang thief want to do? Does he really want to poison us with this white mist?

Because of his reminder, everyone wrapped strips of cloth around their noses and mouths so that the strange smell in the wind could not take advantage of it.

"What is this?" a guard asked Gu Changshou who was standing aside.

"I don't know." Gu Changshou frowned: "But there must be something weird about the white mist, otherwise it wouldn't be inexplicable and suddenly drifting in the breeze in the middle of the night."

"Yeah." The guard nodded.
