The west wind was blowing fiercely. Ning Jie stood with his hands behind his back on the back of the divine beast Sibu Xiang. His eyes were fixed on the ground, watching the scenery passing by quickly.
The scenery here is completely different from what I have seen before.
As far as the eye can see, there are vast plains with pale golden land. The wind is gentle and the clouds are light, creating a harmonious scene of peace and prosperity.
But what made Ning Jie feel a little strange was that there was a huge dark cloud covering the sky in the distance.
Ning Jie looked at the dark clouds, squinted his eyes, and murmured:
"That's quite interesting."
After saying that, Ning Jie slowly withdrew his gaze. He knew that now was not the time to think about these things. What he was most worried about now was Mu Qingxue.
After this separation, he realized how worried he was about Mu Qingxue.
He had already lost Mu Qingxue once in his previous life, and it would definitely not happen again in this life!
Ning Jie has secretly decided in his heart that when he finds Mu Qingxue, he will reveal his true feelings to her and he will firmly make Mu Qingxue his woman!
While Ning Jie was thinking, a tall, continuous black wall appeared on the plain in the distance.
"Master, we're here!"
Sibu Xiang said with some excitement.
"Well, go down."
After getting Ning Jie's consent, Sibu Xiang dived down directly, rushed down from the sky, and landed steadily on the ground.
This place was already close to Qingcang City. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ning Jie took out the bamboo hat he had picked up from a farmer's house and slowly put it on his head. The wide bamboo hat just covered his face.
When the divine beast Sibuxiang saw this, it immediately understood and shrank its huge body, then transformed into a thin and slender little beast, which looked like a thin dog at first glance.
"Oh, that's pretty good."
Ning Jie smiled slightly, praised Si Bu Xiang, and then strode forward.
Sibu Xiang was naturally very happy to be praised by his owner, and followed him happily with his tail wagging.
As they approached Qingcang City, Ning Jie discovered that the huge dark cloud he had seen before was actually covering the city. It was so dark and looked a bit depressing.
Not only that, under the influence of dark clouds, fine rain like cow hair was falling from the sky.
At the city gate, people coming in and out were either wearing straw hats, straw raincoats, or holding oil-paper umbrellas. Against the backdrop of these people, Ning Jie, who was wearing a straw hat, looked extremely ordinary and not so eye-catching.
It was the first time that Ning Jie had seen such a situation. Dark clouds covered the city, and it was raining only inside the city, while everywhere outside the city was sunny. It was really magical.
Although Ning Jie was a little curious about this, he knew that this was not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task was to get into the city as soon as possible.
With this in mind, he blended directly into the crowd entering the city.
It was already noon, and there were still many people entering and leaving the city, queuing up at the city gate.
There were four guards standing at the city gate, all of them were burly men. They questioned the people coming in and out with serious expressions.
Soon, it was Ning Jie's turn.
The guard asked coldly:
"What's your name?"
"Where are you from?"
"Why are you going into town?"
Facing the guard's three life-threatening questions, Ning Jie calmly replied:
"My name is Wang Er. I come from Huangshi Village, three hundred miles away. I want to go into the city today to buy some daily necessities."
Ning Jie did not tell his real name, but made one up.
The guards conducted daily inspections and were naturally familiar with the name of Huangshi Village. Therefore, they did not question Ning Jie too much and simply said,
"Let's go!"
Just as Ning Jie breathed a sigh of relief and strode towards the city, a guard suddenly grabbed him:
"stop!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Jie's expression under his bamboo hat suddenly changed, and even the muscles in his body were mobilized, ready to break through the barrier through fighting at any time.
But what he didn't expect was that the guard just asked with interest:
"What kind of beast is that behind you? It looks quite unique."
"Thin dog."
Ning Jie responded calmly, and then he felt relieved.
But at this time, the divine beast Sibu Xiang was not satisfied. He immediately turned around and bared his teeth, wanting to teach this blind guard a lesson.
It's an ancient mythical beast, yet it's being called a beast by these people. How could it tolerate this?!
But just when it was about to lose its temper, it heard Ning Jie's cough, which immediately deflated it, and it had no choice but to follow Ning Jie dejectedly.
After entering the city, Ning Jie saw that the roadside ditches were full of muddy water.
It was obvious that the rain had been falling for many days.
In order to find out some information, Ning Jie walked directly into an inn and found a seat by the window.
After sitting for quite a while, other diners came over. The two men ordered a few side dishes and chatted while eating. Ning Jie saw this and walked over with a wine jug, ready to get some useful information out of them.
But before Ning Jie could ask, he heard the two men say:
"Have you heard? Tomorrow, Chief Tianluo will burn to death that ugly woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people in the central square!"
"Are you serious? I heard that woman is extremely ugly, but I haven't seen her yet."
"It must be true. My cousin is an official in the imperial court, but he told me this himself."
"Hey, this is a rare thing. I must go and see it tomorrow!"
“Let’s go together, let’s go together!”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ning Jie was stunned.
Ugly woman?
Mu Qingxue!
Mu Qingxue is going to be burned to death!!!
