Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 44

The rumbling sound became louder and louder, the surface of the lake cracked, and ice chips splashed in all directions. A long arch bridge rose from the bottom of the lake, the whole body was white, and the railings were carved with jade.When the bridge body settled down, the bridgehead was just behind Tongque.Only then did Lingxi realize that the pair of bronze sparrows turned out to be the sign of the arch bridge.

The other end of the bridge extends to Tianjing Mountain Villa, and the fog is so thick that people can't see what's going on there.Soon, a group of black shadows flew out of the fog, with sharp beaks like hooks and sharp eyes hiding the front, they turned out to be goshawks.Fortunately, although their eyes were fierce, they did not intend to attack. They circled a few times above the arch bridge, and then landed unevenly on the bridge railings back and forth.

Lingxi was really curious and couldn't help but want to ask: "They..."

Mo Long gestured to her to silence her, but still didn't let her speak.

There was the sound of neat footsteps from the other side of the bridge, and soon a group of people in Tsing Yi appeared, with neat robes and unruly hair buns. There were about three to forty people.They strode towards the end of the Tongque Bridge.

Seeing the man in Tsing Yi, the waiting team unloaded their horses one after another.The leading man in Tsing Yi walked to the front of the cart, put the rope of the cart on himself, and pulled the cart onto the bridge.The cart carried six cylinders of sea salt, at least nearly a thousand catties, and he pulled it away easily and effortlessly.Like him, the other people in Tsing Yi pulled up other carts one by one.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't walk fast. He pulled the cart and walked forward slowly under the gaze of the goshawk on the bridge railing.The sound of the wheels rolling over the bridge was very strange, just like the sound of rolling over ice.Consonance heard it in his ears, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Suddenly, a goshawk flew up in the air, and with its claws, it rushed towards a cart loaded with citrus. With a hook of its sharp claws, it picked up a basket of citrus and shook them down in the air. Citrus, and a sniper like a mouse coiling itself into a ball with white ears and a white beak.

The exposed sniper rat was still in shock in mid-air, and immediately another goshawk flapped its black feathers and jumped towards it. When sniper rat barely landed on the bridge, it picked it up and threw it heavily Mirror Lake ice.Immediately, the sniper was frozen on the ice, and his body was wounded by the eagle's claws in several places, bloodstained, although not fatal for a while, he could not move and was very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lingxi gasped, and only then did he understand why the group of goshawks had to perch on the bridge railing.Ordinary goshawks already have keen eyesight and sense of smell. This group of goshawks came from Tianjing Villa, and they must be more powerful than ordinary goshawks.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw a larger goshawk pounce on a cart loaded with salt.The salt was packed in a big urn and sealed with a wooden cork. The goshawk's claws were so powerful that it lifted the big urn with only its claws, and then released the claws until it was in the air. The big urn broke into several pieces on the ground, and the white salt It was sprinkled all over the ground, and a very inconspicuous gray-white beetle was mixed in, trying to escape in panic.

With a peck and a flick of the eagle's beak, the little beetle was thrown on the ice, and it jumped up to reveal its original shape—it was actually a short old man in a gray robe. Without exception, he was also frozen on the ice .

The sniper like a mouse and the little old man, you look at me, I look at you, there is an intimacy in the embarrassment, and a strangeness in the intimacy.

By the mirror lake, Lingxi was stunned, transformed into a little beetle, hidden in the sealed salt urn, and was able to be found out.According to her original idea, wouldn't it be easy to be discovered hiding in the big water urn, and then... She shifted her gaze to the little old man who was frozen on the ice like a mouse. It's a shame.

The most nervous person at this time was Xia Houfeng, who was very worried, fearing that Mo Ji would also be caught.Seeing that the cart transporting spring water also got on the arch bridge, it walked slowly under the eyes of the eagles... A goshawk stared at it with its head tilted, and suddenly flapped its wings. He flew up, but Xia Houfeng's heart was beating like a drum, and his palms were full of sweat.Mo Long, Dongli Chang and others were also staring closely, sweating for Mo Ji.

The car transporting spring water went all the way to the middle of the arch bridge, but no goshawks rushed over.

The first few that were picked out were all found by goshawks in the first half of the bridge. Xia Houfeng took a break to catch his breath, but unexpectedly the breath hadn't changed yet. The biggest goshawk had gloomy eyes and fluttered. With wings, it flew straight to Mo Ji's big car, and stood on the side of the car - it didn't move, but it didn't move, as if it instinctively sensed that there was something abnormal about this car, but couldn't find the abnormality for a while.

Xia Houfeng was extremely flustered, with nothing at hand, he grabbed Bai Xi.Unintentionally, her strength was several times stronger than usual, poor Bai Xi was gnashing her teeth in pain, and she just tried not to cry out.

The white crane, which had been pacing gracefully on the ice, raised its head and neck, seeing that the goshawk encountered a problem, spread its white feathers, and flew onto the bridge.He only tilted his head to glance at the cart, and then it stretched out its long and sharp beak, and lightly pecked at the wheel... Bai Xi couldn't hold back, and let out a low cry of pain, because Xiahou Feng, who was too nervous, almost crushed him arm bone.It was estimated that Mo Ji would also be arrested, Lingxi didn't dare to look, and grabbed Mo Long's sleeve tightly, and buried her head in it.

After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the object being smashed on the ice, so she leaned out and let out a soft "Huh".The cart carrying the spring water has passed the bridge without incident, drove into the thick fog, and entered the Tianjing Mountain Villa.

"What's going on?" she asked in surprise.

Mo Long's eyes were complicated, she stared at the other side of the bridge where the cart disappeared, and said nothing.He didn't understand what was going on, Bai He had already found Mo Ji, why did he let her go?Dongli Chief didn't understand either, let alone Xia Houfeng and Bai Xi.

Maybe the peck just now was just a test, and Mo Ji endured the pain without showing any flaws, so Bai He didn't continue to make things difficult for her?

With lingering fear, Lingxi stood by the Jinghu Lake, watching all the convoys cross the arch bridge, during which some people or ghosts who wanted to sneak into Tianjing Villa were picked out and thrown on the ice surface of Jinghu Lake.Finally, the unloaded carts were sent out one after another, and they still returned to the side of the bridge.

One of the carts carrying spring water was missing, and it was the cart Mo Ji was in.The person who carried the water didn't understand what was going on, and the person in Tsing Yi only briefly told him that the car broke down in the village, and they would use another two dollars to make up for it.Tianjing Villa has always been generous in its actions, since it is willing to pay two taels, it must be only a lot, and the people who transported the water immediately stopped thinking about it.

car broke down?This bit of information really made it impossible to predict whether Mo Ji was safe or not.

Xia Houfeng was so anxious that he grabbed his hair, but he couldn't do anything. He watched helplessly as the man in Tsing Yi turned back, the goshawk and the white crane fluttered back, and the arch bridge sank to the bottom of the lake again.

"What should I do? What should I do? She..." Xia Houfeng felt flustered, and asked Dong Lichang.

Dongli Chief actually had no idea in his heart, but he still comforted him and said: "Mo Ji is much smarter than you, she just passed that level, and she should be able to respond accordingly when she gets inside. Let's wait outside with peace of mind, don't panic position."

Xia Houfeng murmured: "We have to wait for another seven days... What if the seventh day comes and she doesn't come out?"

Dongli is speechless.

Lingxi said as a matter of course, "We will try to go in and find her when the time comes."

Dongli Chang was immediately annoyed, glared at her and said, "Seeing today's situation, Miss Lingxi has any tricks?"

"I..." Now it was Lingxi's turn to be at a loss for words. She hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to look at the snipers on the ice of Mirror Lake, and the little old man, etc., and asked sympathetically, "What should they do? Will they be frozen?" dead?"

"If they have companions, they will come to rescue them when there is no one left." Mo Long said indifferently, "Even if they don't have companions, there are still people in Shuangying Town who specialize in this kind of business. Get people out."

Lingxi nodded, and after a while, he asked in surprise, "Why do so many people want to enter Tianjing Villa? They also want to find Lannan?"

Mo Long sneered and said: "It is said that in Tianjing Villa, there are countless rare and rare treasures from the ancient times. If you get one, you will be rich, and there are also pills and secret recipes that can cultivate immortals, which can make people soar in the sky. After hearing these rumors, people outside naturally flock to Tianjing Villa."

That's it, Lingxi thought silently, there are rumors outside that there are all kinds of treasures in Donghai Mansion, and people often try to sneak into the water mansion, and they will be locked up for several months at first as a punishment.But even so, there are still people who can't stop.Because of this, my sister was so worried that she didn't care about them at all, and let Xunhai Yasha beat them half to death before throwing them back on the beach, which was a little better.

Tianjing Villa only threw these people on the ice, which naturally meant punishment.It's just that the villa is so heavily guarded, how could he think of a way to sneak in?

"Go away!"

Dong Lichang is afraid of the cold, so he doesn't want to stay here for a long time, and he always feels that Lingxi will not give up.This girl lied to him when she was in the mountain temple, saying that she was going back to Donghai to find her sister, but she sneaked to Tianjing Villa by herself.She is still a child, and she knows that it would be much easier for Princess Donghai to come forward, but she just wants to do it herself. Why is she so stubborn?

Back in Shuangying Town, Xia Houfeng was worried about Mo Ji, and Bai Xi silently looked for medicinal wine to heal his injuries because his arm hurt too much;

Dong Lichang and Mo Long exchanged glances on the corridor, the former was still worried, but the latter was much more relaxed.From Mo Long's point of view, although Lingxi is stubborn in doing things and has brute force, but fortunately she has no spiritual power and her abilities are really limited. Under the strict protection of Tianjing Villa, he expects her to have nothing to do.Let her be depressed for a few days, and he will pour some cold water on him from time to time, guessing that she will have to give up and go back to Donghai.

In fact, thinking about it, her lack of spiritual power should be God's eye, Mo Long thought, otherwise, according to her temperament, even if she bumped into the south wall, she would not turn back, and I don't know how big things will happen at that time.

Dongli sighed and went back to the room, Molong stood there for a while, thinking that the old man had been freezing by the Mirror Lake for half a day, so he went to the inn's kitchen to get hot water, took it to Dongli Chang's room to soak his feet, and drove him away. To drive away the cold.

With the rising heat, he put his feet into the wooden basin, feeling the warm current slowly spread from the soles of his feet to his limbs, Dong Lichang squinted his eyes comfortably for a while, then seemed to suddenly think of something, opened his eyes and looked at the table to play with the cups Mo Long was distracted by himself.

"I don't understand one thing. Brother Lingxi's disappearance is a big deal for Donghai. Why did only Lingxi come to look for him?"

Mo Long also didn't understand: "Who can figure out the things about the Dragon Clan."

"Go and ask." Dong Lichang instinctively felt that if he started with the matter, he might be able to completely dispel Lingxi's idea of ​​entering Tianjing Villa.

Mo Long was lazy and didn't want to move: "If she could say it, she would have said it long ago."

"It's come to this point now, and she has no money right now, so we can't just hang around her all the time." Seeing Mo Long's eyebrows raised slightly, Dong Lichang changed his tone and said, "I didn't mean that either, It doesn't matter if we give her some money. But don't forget, Donghai is behind her, and the people in Donghai are still looking for her. If you find her, the first thing is that she is a good person. I have to ask Longyaren about something, what will I do then?"

Mo Long stretched wearily without saying a word.

"At that time, have you thought about the countermeasures?" Director Dongli wanted to ask him.

Mo Long had no choice but to beg for mercy, got up and went out as if fleeing: "...I'll go ask her, okay!"

Dong Lichang watched him go out, then shook his head and sighed: "These two children."
