Chapter two hundred and two: the cat again
Fenghuo glared at Luo Ling. This man was always shrewd, a well-rounded and powerful profiteer, and he didn't look like someone who would cause trouble at this juncture. She coughed hard a few times, grinned, and hurried out.
To smooth things over: "What are you doing? You have something to say. Yun Xiao and I were chatting happily. Why did two grown men get into a fight and start fighting? It's really outrageous, isn't it, Yun Xiao?"
She blinked quickly and winked at Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao nodded understandingly and patted Xiao Qianye on the shoulder to persuade him: "We got help from Mr. Luo to hide in. Don't lose your temper with others.
OK?"
Luo Ling and Xiao Qianye looked at each other awkwardly, neither of them willing to give in first. They remained silent at a distance, neither of them speaking.
Fenghuo was secretly amused. This time, she was the one carrying Luo Ling and trotting over here. Regardless of whether the man and woman were intimate or not, she held Luo Ling with one hand and Xiao Qianye with the other, folding their hands up and down, happily.
He said: "Okay, okay, you are already a grown-up, why are you still cold warring like a kid! Don't be angry anymore, look at the good things you have done, I only ate a few of the dumplings that I finally cooked, and they were all wasted."
"
Luo Ling calmly retracted his hand, fearing that she would nag her again, so he simply sat down next to Xiao Qianye, cleared his throat, and said with a bitter smile: "Pavilion Master Xiao, I was impulsive just now, don't be angry."
Xiao Qianye ignored him, but his face suddenly became heavy, and he turned his head to look out of the spiritual window on the wall for no apparent reason.
There were very slight footsteps, like some kind of clever creature approaching.
"Eh... there seems to be a sound?" The first person to notice it was Fenghuo. She rushed to the window, pressed her body against the wall and looked out nervously, shouting, "Luo, Luo Ling, it's Nekomata! It's Nekomata!"
Those cats raised by the city lord!"
"Mao Mata!" Luo Ling's face suddenly changed in shock. Wanyou City was only patrolled by a legion of three-winged birds in the sky. The city lord wanted to maintain the peace of Wanyou City, but he was also unwilling to let the overly large Pihuo and Xiong enter the city and scare the people.
and travelers, so they raised a group of cats at home, which they used to observe the roads in the town on weekdays. Such things are small and sensitive, and will not actively disturb people. They have always coexisted peacefully with Wanyou City. How could they be here?
Suddenly appeared in the sewer at this time?
"The planetarium shows a red light. The city lord must have realized that the situation was serious and had no choice but to temporarily dispatch Mao Mao." Xiao Qianye added coldly, but he was still calm in his heart. Luo Ling thought for a while and said, "Just now Gongsun Yan
You reminded me that the last time the planetarium showed red light was before it fell into the sky. In previous years, during the most serious times, it only showed orange light. It seems that the city lord cannot sit still and wants to take the initiative to find you."
"Wanyou City Lord..." Xiao Qianye was thinking quickly in his mind. Frankly speaking, he was not familiar with that person because the other person always annoyed him and did not want to interact too much with the military pavilion.
"Except for the Butterfly Valley that was wiped out before, Dongming has the most accurate astrology in Wanyou City." Luo Ling was worried, pacing back and forth in the small secret room, and said uneasily, "If we follow the routine of patrolling the military pavilion,
, it will take at least until around tomorrow afternoon to find the Paradise Hall, but if the city lord takes action to pinpoint the location again, I am afraid your whereabouts will be discovered soon."
"What should we do?" Fenghuo was anxious. She pressed one ear against the wall, as if she could hear the movement in the waterway next door with this movement. Yunxiao patted her shoulder lightly, and the Green Charm Sword stood erected.
On his chest, the tip of the sword emitted a green aura.
"Sword formation..." Luo Ling looked at her in surprise. Already during Feng Mo's investigation, he knew that Yun Xiao knew a strange sword technique. It seemed that he could use the sword spirit as a medium to call out wind, water, and thunder.
It is extremely magical to ignite fire and even kill evil spirits and suppress demons.
The green aura was like a spiritual snake, passing through the window made of spiritual magic, and disappeared silently into the depths of the sewer next door. Yun Xiao closed his eyes, spread out his right hand, and pressed the tip of the Green Charm Sword against the palm of his hand.
After a while, Yun Xiao retracted the sword array and said seriously, "Thirty, forty...seventy. There are seventy Nekomata around here, and there may be more than a thousand in the entire waterway."
"So many?" Feng Huo clicked his tongue, with a look of disbelief on his face, and muttered, "The yard of the city lord's house is not that big, how come he raises so many!"
"Axiao, we have to go." Xiao Qianye had already reacted. He immediately put the winter coat on Yunxiao, holding the sword in one hand and holding her with the other. Fenghuo quickly followed and opened the door directly.
After entering the secret room and waterway door, he turned back to Luo Ling worriedly and said, "Hurry up and don't get discovered. I'll take them to Crescent Moon Spring. Be careful!"
"You should be careful yourself." Luo Ling muttered in a low voice and did not leave in a hurry. He trotted to Fenghuo, took out a jade butterfly from his arms and stuffed it into Fenghuo's hand, and explained very patiently: "
You take this thing with you and wait until you get out of the waterway before using it. It’s dark in here and there are cats coming to patrol, so you must be careful.”
"I know, I know, you hurry back to the Paradise Pavilion." Fenghuo pushed him back impatiently, and then walked out of the secret room. A cold and damp wind blew from the water channel, which made Fenghuo shiver from the cold, and the tip of his nose was suddenly numb.
Blowing red.
Xiao Qianye frowned and simply took off his winter coat and threw it to her. Fenghuo was flattered and said: "Wow... What's wrong with you to treat me so well? You, you... shouldn't you?
Are you attracted to me?"
Luo Ling stood behind her with a dark face, kicked her over, and cursed angrily: "Hurry up and leave. Cats are nocturnal animals and can detect the slightest movement. Stop talking nonsense."
"Huh, stingy, you're jealous!" Fenghuo turned her head and made a face at him without any care, and even stuck out her tongue with a playful smile. Then she held Yun Xiao's hand, her face suddenly became serious, and she glanced at the previous
He said carelessly and cautiously, "Follow me. This waterway is very complicated. If you make a wrong turn, you will have to go a long way to get out. Don't lose me."
"Yeah, okay." Yun Xiao nodded and followed Fenghuo forward quietly. This place is like a complex underground city. The accumulated water in the city flows underground through special channels, and then drains along the artificially dug waterways.
Although the several large rivers in Xiangdong Ming are damp, cold, and covered with moss, they don't look like they have been neglected all year round.
There are frogs croaking in my ears, one after another in this unseasonable winter. Although Fenghuo is leading the way, I am still very scared in my heart. From time to time, I have to stop and take a deep breath to cheer myself up.
Xiao Qianye was at the very back and found that his eyes could see clearly in the dark night. Not only that, he could even hear the faint footsteps of Mao Mao not far away.
The sense of smell is patrolling, and it is getting closer and closer to their direction.
"Wow..." Fenghuo suddenly whispered. Although he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, it still caused a subtle vibration in the waterway. Xiao Qianye frowned and looked over, realizing that she had accidentally stepped on a huge one.
Frog, that frog jumped up with a "cuck" sound and hit Fenghuo's face directly.
After a brief moment of confusion, Fenghuo screamed and pulled the frog from his face and threw it out with all his strength. The frog was slapped against the wall with its claws open, and fell with a clatter. It stared at her with its legs in the air. Fenghuo was stunned.
As she stood, a dozen larger frogs suddenly emerged from the waterway beside her, surrounding her in a dilemma.
"Yun, Yunyun, Yun Xiao, save me!" Fenghuo turned around and got into Yun Xiao's arms with a cry. The force of her blow was so heavy that Yun Xiao, who had not yet reacted, stumbled back.
As the two of them were about to fall into the sewer, Xiao Qianye quickly stepped forward, hugging Yun Xiao with one hand and grabbing Fenghuo with the other. The three of them stumbled against the wall and finally stood firm.
Xiao Qianye glared at her and cursed: "Are you here to lead the way, or are you here to cause trouble?"
"I...I'm very familiar with the road. I didn't say I wasn't afraid of frogs!" Fenghuo knew he was wrong and made a quibble with a red face. This series of sounds had obviously alarmed Nekomata, but after a while, a flash of light appeared from the deep place on the opposite side.
With a pair of strange and unpredictable eyes, Xiao Qianye had no time to be distracted. He held his breath to protect the two women and took a cautious step forward.
"Meow..." Cats meowed from all around, and more eyes shone like bright pearls in the night. Different from the lazy coquettish sounds of domestic cats, Nekomata's voice was sharper, making people's hair stand on end.
"Shhh..." Yun Xiao made a shushing gesture towards the two of them. The Green Charm Sword evoked a green snake-like aura and swam along the sewer, making a hissing snake sound in the distance.
Sure enough, the next moment, attracted by the sound of the snake, the cat instinctively pounced in the direction of the spiritual light. Yun Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Run away while they are distracted. Cats are spiritual beasts. It won't take a while."
Will get it back”
"Mao Mao, Mao went to catch a snake again?" Fenghuo looked at the incredible scene in front of him in surprise, and looked at the two people in confusion. Yun Xiao grinned slightly, poked her forehead with his finger, and said calmly, "Mao Mao."
But they are natural snake catchers! Even though they are cute and cute, they are first-rate masters at catching snakes. Cats are also a type of cat, and they will be attracted by their own nature."
"Oh, that's it." Fenghuo obviously just knew this common sense. Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, as if she wanted to catch up and watch the show.
"Stop minding other people's business and lead the way." Xiao Qianye grabbed her neck in disgust. If it weren't for the butterfly on her body that had to contact Master Uncle and Tian Che, he would have wanted to throw this troublesome woman out right now. Fenghuo
A Jingling came back to his senses, turned around and saw the other person's sharp eyes that wanted to kill, and quickly apologized angrily: "Yes, yes, don't be angry, I will never make a sound again even if I fall into a frog's nest!"
"
However, just after she finished speaking, a bunch of huge frogs jumped out of the sewer, seeming to avenge the fall just now, and rushed towards the three of them one after another.
Feng Huo covered her mouth, but her body involuntarily kept hiding in Yun Xiao's arms. The sticky, cold things kept swirling around her feet, which scared her whole body and made her hair stand up, and her ears started to buzz due to nervousness.
of chirping.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Yun Xiao patted her back to comfort her. The warm breath of the spirit phoenix was on her body, which suddenly made Fenghuo, who was cold all over her body, feel a warm current pouring into her heart.
"It's really troublesome." Xiao Qianye waved his sword impatiently, and Li Kong's sword energy suddenly created a ray of white light. It was like a white lightning fell in the dark waterway. The sudden light caused the frogs everywhere to run away in a hurry, and they also let Cai go.
The far away cat turned back instantly.
"Let's go." Xiao Qianye murmured, his gold and silver eyes flashing with an ominous and terrifying light, "Anyway, there are thousands of cats in the waterway, and you will encounter them sooner or later if you hide away. Follow me and fight out."
Feng Huo was so frightened that she couldn't speak. Yun Xiao held her gently, tilted her head and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
