Seeing this, not only Ding Dian looked back nervously, but even Wan Zhuliu was a little surprised.
There are no women in this team, including the Yubu members such as You Lian who followed secretly. You Lian is the only woman, and her voice is not like this.
As for the Black Wind Hall, he didn't bring anyone out with him to avoid unnecessary losses.
"Sir, I'll go take a look!"
At this time, Ding Dian volunteered.
Wan Zhuliu nodded, "Well, go and take a look!"
Ding Dian then joined the team and continued to communicate with the people in the team during the march. After all, they were all warriors with higher quality than ordinary soldiers, and he quickly organized the team.
Then, several female voices were heard on the silent road, as if they were talking to Ding Dian.
After a while, a rustling sound was heard.
Ding Dian walked quickly, and behind him was a woman in a gray robe, or rather a nun.
But her attire was a little strange. The robe was gray and slightly transparent, and you could faintly see the color of her skin underneath. In addition, this nun was tall and plump, so even though she was wearing a very plain robe, she looked graceful and well-endowed.
"What is this?" Wan Zhuliu just took a glance and looked at Ding Dian with some surprise.
Ding Dian stood in front of the nun without blushing or beating his heart. "This is Master Huiyuan. She is a disciple of Qinglian Temple, which is over ten miles outside Luozhou City. She came here to investigate the disappearance of a disciple of our temple and wants to come with us!"
"Have you seen him before?" Wan Zhuliu became even more confused when he saw how familiar he was.
Hearing this, Ding Dian patted his chest and said, "Don't doubt it, my lord. I have seen Master Huiyuan's master, and Master Wang is also familiar with her. She is the abbot of Qinglian Temple!"
“Is that so—”
Wan Zhuliu couldn't help but glance at Huiyuan again, and couldn't help but compare them in his mind, and found that this nun's dress was indeed very bold.
As for being flirtatious or something like that, he wasn't sure how to put it out loud, but that was pretty much the meaning.
After all, it’s not summer yet, why wear see-through clothes?
"Then let's go together!"
Seeing that Ding Dian seemed a little unhappy, Wan Zhuliu followed his lead and added, "Ding Dian, you must protect the nun well. This place is a bit weird!"
"Okay!" Ding Dian was very happy.
As soon as he saw this woman, he even forgot his mission.
Wan Zhuliu was speechless about this kind of person. He felt a little ashamed for bullying the other person before. After all, he was just a fool.
Soon, the team entered the village and after searching, they found no trace of anyone.
Unable to find the entrance to the so-called underground palace, Wan Zhuliu immediately ordered everyone to set up camp on the spot.
Ding Dian immediately found a large yard, ordered people to clean it, carried Wan Zhuliu in, and settled him down. Then he hurried to the yard next door.
Wan Zhuliu ignored him coming in and out, closed his eyes slightly, released his senses, and began to explore the surroundings.
In his perception, the Xuanyan Lake was freezing cold, and the village on the shore was lifeless. A group of gray-white abandoned houses stood quietly. The whistling of the wind could be faintly heard, and thick fog was spreading outside.
Wan Zhuliu's nose moved, and some grass scent mixed with earth and water vapor slowly drifted into his nostrils.
Nothing seemed strange.
"Where have all the people gone?!" He frowned, a little surprised.
With his perception, he couldn't find anything wrong.
He couldn't understand and lay there dozing off.
At this time, there was a crackling sound in the yard. It turned out that the people below had made a fire using the branches and dry firewood in the yard, and they gathered together to eat.
"Sir, the dry rations are a bit rough, so you can use some first. Lord Ding said he'd go see if there are any fish in the lake. He'll catch a few and roast them for you to nourish your body!"
A prison guard came up, prepared dry food and drinks, and was ready to serve him.
"No need, put it aside for now!" Wan Zhuliu waved his hand. He had eaten a lot of preserved fruits and dried meat along the way. He was not hungry, and this kind of dry biscuits had little nutrition, so he was too lazy to eat it.
He was a little surprised when he heard that Ding Dian went fishing. "Fishing? Can nuns eat meat?"
He didn't think that this guy was really going to prepare it for him.
"Uh, this...we are not sure about this. Sir, please take a rest first. We are in the yard. Just let us know if you have any problems!" The young prison officer immediately evaded the question.
Seeing this, Wan Zhuliu didn't say anything, just nodded and said lightly: "Go!"
The sky darkened and soon became completely dark.
The firewood was still burning with a crackling sound. The others seemed a little tired from the journey and leaned against the pillars to rest.
Wan Zhuliu also closed his eyes and his breathing began to steady.
Midnight.
call out!
An extremely low sound of wind was heard.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by from outside, and then landed quietly in the yard.
The man seemed to glance around the yard and his eyes fell on Wan Zhuliu, who was closest to the inside.
Wan Zhuliu was lying on a wooden frame, like a lounge chair, with a sheepskin blanket covering his thighs to keep out the cold.
The man stopped in the yard for a moment, then moved again and came towards him.
then--
laugh!
Just as the black shadow leaned over, a big hand grabbed it directly.
Bang!
The moment he touched the figure, a ball of white mist exploded with Wan Zhuliu's fingertips as the center.
When he looked again, there was no one in the yard.
"Um?"
She was so close, yet she managed to escape his attack!
Wan Zhuliu was stunned where he stood.
It was not until the noise in the yard woke up the group of prison runners and they rushed forward that he came to his senses.
"My Lord, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu glanced at everyone, who seemed unaware of what was happening.
"It's nothing, the wound was just a little affected!" Wan Zhuliu didn't say anything to avoid causing any unrest.
After all, it's night time now, and it's hard to control if things get chaotic.
Then he prepared to go back to the shelf.
At this moment, creak... The rotten and dilapidated door was pushed open from the outside, making a slight sound.
"Who?" The yamen runners immediately became alert.
A tall figure strode into the yard, "It's me!"
The voice belongs to Ding Dian.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief and added some dry firewood to the fire.
Suddenly, the fire grew brighter, illuminating everyone's faces.
"Where is the fish?" Wan Zhuliu looked at Ding Dian and asked suddenly.
Ding Dian shook his head, his face solemn. "This huge puddle of Xuanyan Lake, let alone fish, there's not a single living thing. It's completely empty!"
Wan Zhuliu narrowed his eyes. "Is that so? Ding Dian, you're not hiding anything from me, are you?"
