"What is that? Is it a standing sign?" Pineapple asked, pointing to the small white shelf erected on the right side of the entrance to the town.
The three of them ran over quickly.
Maple Sugar built the arbor with one hand and squinted his eyes as he read out, "Back to the fog... Is this what is written on the sign?"
Pineapple ran the fastest and rushed directly to the standing sign.
"Back in the fog, there are only these four words."
The Taoist priest carefully looked at the old rolled-edged standing sign. He touched the lower right corner of the standing sign with his right hand, rubbed it lightly a few times, and suddenly raised his right arm.
The top layer of paper flew up.
"Eh? There are words below!" Pineapple's eyes widened.
Maple Sugar frowned, "Don't go into the fog?"
The three of them looked at each other with the same words in their eyes.
It's not simple here.
"What about further down?" Pineapple said and took up his hand, and the yellowed white papers fell one after another. Finally, the last piece of paper with crooked writing appeared.
"The bottom is 'Back to the Fog'," Pineapple looked at the two of them, "Why does it feel like you are playing a random game?"
"This shows that there is more than just Gao Mingya here," Maple Sugar pointed to the last four words. "Two groups of forces are competing for the right to speak, and the first person who thought of this idea wants us to go back to the fog.
"
Pineapple nodded in agreement, "There is a high probability that one group of people wants to harm us, and the other group of people wants to save us."
"And we came from the fog, at least there is no problem in the fog." The Taoist priest concluded.
The truth is coming out.
"It's not completely okay, the smell in the fog is terrible," Maple Sugar looked back at the fog surrounding the town in disgust, "It's just okay for the time being."
"There is nothing in the fog. You can't go back if there are any problems," Pineapple became anxious. "We still have to rescue Xiaolan. With that child's character, he will definitely not stay in the fog."
After all, this sentence is the most applicable. It doesn't matter which groups of people are fighting in the world. What matters is that restless Xiaolan will not just squat in the safe zone.
Pineapple even imagined a picture like this in his mind, Xiaolan swinging her shoulders and crossing her arms, walking sideways on the deserted street.
Too outrageous! But this is what Xiaolan might do.
No one said anything, and the three of them abandoned the sign and ran towards the door tacitly.
Broken iron gates, fountains, stone statues.
Pineapple's face only wrinkled, and he ran away following the footsteps of the two of them.
"Is it an empty city? No one?" Maple Sugar ran and looked around.
Just as they were talking, several living people walked out of the door of the building where the three of them stopped.
Maple Sugar subconsciously protected Pineapple behind her.
There are also three people opposite.
Three slender and thin men, but they didn't look weak.
The three of them didn't talk to each other, but they met the three of them as soon as they went out.
Six people, six pairs of eyes, all cast suspicious glances at the other side.
Lao Luo frowned slightly.
"Are you...new here?" Luo Jiutian looked at the three Taoist priests up and down and asked.
Why does it feel like someone who has just entered prison meets a veteran?
Pineapple looked around, and somehow he realized that the attitudes of the two groups were tense. If he didn't do something, he was afraid that they would start a fight.
"We just came in," Pineapple walked to the front with a bright smile, "Uncle, you..."
A standard smile instantly solidified on his face.
Several people watched helplessly as Pineapple's expression changed color instantly.
His face turned pale for a second.
Lao Luo's brows knitted together and he stared deeply at Luo Jiutian and Meng Fuling. With a wave of his right hand, he led the two of them forward.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Pineapple's shoulders trembled unconsciously.
"Dad, don't we care about them?"
"You can't control it, we have business to do."
"That's right, it's important to save little girl Xiaolan."
"..."
Xiaolan?!
The conversation between the three people drifted into the ears of the three Taoist priests along the wind. In the conversation that should have nothing to do with it, familiar names suddenly appeared.
Do they know Xiaolan?
The Taoist priest reacted quickly and tried to catch up.
Pineapple also recovered from the inexplicable shock, grabbed Maple Sugar's hand and ran away.
"Hello!"
The two people walking in front did not look back.
I saw the young man walking at the end slightly raising his left hand, as if light was floating in the palm of his hand. The young man turned his head slightly, with a mocking smile on his lips.
The young man pinched the light spot in his palm hard.
A ray of silver light struck sideways. The strong silver light stung the three of them and raised their hands to cover their eyes. When the light dissipated, the three of them squinted and saw that they had disappeared.
"Gone?" Maple Syrup was dumbfounded.
"They have a problem," the Taoist priest stared at the place where they disappeared. "The last boy used his own power to hide the three of them. His power is very similar to Xiaoyin, and it is related to space... But
This power is not as powerful and pure as Xiaoyin."
Although there are doubts about whether Xiaoyin's power is strong or not, Pineapple Maple Sugar still accepts the Taoist priest's point of view.
"Pineapple, what did you see just now?" Seeing that there was no hope of pursuing him, the Taoist turned around and asked Pineapple.
"Similar to what you think, Taoist priest, they have a strange smell there and it feels very dangerous."
"Danger?"
"As soon as I got closer, the smell and feeling seemed to be expelling me, coming from their direction. I felt as if my whole body was frozen and I couldn't move."
"They are very dangerous, and they are also looking for Xiaolan?" Maple Sugar concluded concisely.
As soon as these words came out, Pineapple immediately panicked.
"Don't worry, Xiaolan is still safe now," the Taoist priest patted Pineapple on the shoulder, "It's just that we have to find Xiaolan before them."
Pineapple Maple Sugar couldn't agree more, nodded, and followed the Taoist priest's footsteps.
Luo Jiutian seemed to hear a call coming from behind him.
Turn back.
"Um?"
Where were those three people just now?
The streets became empty again, with no sign of anyone being there anymore.
"It seemed like they called us," Meng Fuling said pretending to be stupid, "When I turned around, they were gone."
"That is how the matter?……"
Before Luo Jiutian could ask the other half of the question, Lao Luo coughed and gave him a mysterious look.
Sorry, I really can’t understand...
"Well……"
Even though he couldn't understand, Luo Jiutian still kept his mouth shut.
"It seems that these three people are not simple at all," Lao Luo smiled at Meng Fuling, "We have to be careful."
The smile on Meng Fuling's face froze for less than half a second, and then he smiled naturally.
"I'm still safe if I follow you..."
Luo Jiutian seemed to figure out a little bit of his father's meaning.
But my father and Meng Fuling no longer had any unnecessary conversations, and communication basically relied on waving hands.
Without paying too much attention to the little episode just now, the expressions of Lao Luo and Meng Fuling returned to normal, and the three of them set foot on the road to the end of Panlong Pond.
