Heaven's Formula

"This is my guess about your personal temperament." Seeing that Xia Fan wasn't angry, Fei Laiden obviously relaxed a lot, "You are willing to take risks in the Holy Wing Islands, and you can also form a deep relationship with Dragonborn, which shows you Good at accepting new things, and willing to personally witness the secrets hidden in all parts of the world. If there is any key thing hidden in Baiyao Mountain, I think you will choose to see it for yourself.”

Xia Fan suddenly realized something, "Could it be...the key of the zodiac is also pointing in the direction of Baiyao Mountain?"

Felton nodded, "That's why His Highness wants to see you."

"After we came to Jinxia, ​​we entrusted Lord Qianyan to provide a drop of blood to find the whereabouts of the mistress. As a result, the key of the zodiac pointed to the southwest of Shenzhou—according to the map, it was surrounded by impenetrable mountains. Ideal place for a burial."

Xia Fan has understood this before. For the blood race, the style of the tomb depends on two points: one is that it is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and the other is that it is a special place of interest.In order to satisfy this habit, many blood races died on the way to find the cemetery. After all, the combination of the two can be equivalent to extremely dangerous, and it is not beyond the reach of those with high abilities.

His evaluation of this is that life is too long, and he is full.

But having said that, doesn't this mean that Mistress Stitch has been to the East very early, and she also left the blood of the living dead?

Now the Salvation Church is also active in that area, is there some kind of connection between them?

"So that's the case." Xia Fan pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "Do you want to continue looking for the whereabouts of the mistress?"

"If the mistress doesn't show up, His Highness's life cannot be said to be absolutely safe." Feleton stroked his chest, "I don't know when Tallius will find out the secret of Princess Twilight's escape, but once he finds out, he will definitely Take action. Therefore, finding Mistress as soon as possible is not only for His Highness, but also for protecting Jinxia City."

"Okay, I agree that she will go with me." Xia Fan promised, "But I also hope that you both understand that no matter whether you can find Mistress Stitch, Jinxia will protect your safety——Natatin sent Whether it is a high-level mage or the entire ocean fleet, this will not change at all."

Fei LaiDun stood up, bowed his head and said, "Then, Her Royal Highness, I will entrust you."

Chapter 756 "Subway Station"

……

Not long after the two left, Xia Fan suddenly heard a rustling sound from outside the window sill.

mouse?wildcat?

No... This movement is much bigger.This place is the second floor, and it is the core area of ​​the villa, so there shouldn't be anything strange or weird.

Xia Fan immediately raised his vigilance. He walked sideways to the window, lightly lifted the plug, pushed the window leaf, and the streamer technique in his hand was ready to go.

Then he saw a pair of big furry ears.

Looking down, Li Zheng was squatting on the edge of the window, chewing the scallion pancake in his hand.Seeing Xia Fan appearing, she was not surprised at all, held up the cake, "Do you want to eat?"

Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help laughing, "Why are you here?"

After speaking, he also took a bite on the cake.

"Sneaked out." Li also showed a sly smile, "Although His Holiness asked me to accompany him all the way, he didn't say that he couldn't move freely even if he fell asleep."

"If you don't like being with her, you can completely refuse," Xia Fan said.

In fact, he did not agree to the last request made by Venerable Shengtian on the spot, but gave the right to choose to Li himself, saying that "the transaction cannot be based on forcing Li's will."Surprisingly, His Holiness did not express any dissatisfaction, but seemed a little appreciative.

"It's not that I hate that person," Li Chang breathed out, "To be honest, that person looks indifferent, but he is quite caring in his heart. But I haven't seen you for so long, I want to meet you too." Speaking of which, she raised her eyebrows, "Don't you want to see me?"

"No, of course I want to see you." Xia Fan said decisively.

"That's fine." Li Zong jumped onto the window sill and sat next to Xia Fan with his legs crossed, "With me chatting with you, isn't it more detailed than looking at those scrolls?"

Did she notice all this?

"When did you come here?"

"I arrived about half an hour ago." Li wagged his tail, "I wanted to use illusion to sneak attack you, to see if you were still as vigilant as before, but I didn't expect a guest to arrive."

It's okay, it's okay...Xia Fan let out a sigh of relief.

Since Li grew his second tail, the influence of the illusion has become more than a little bit stronger than before. Even he is easy to be recruited without precaution.As for those illusions... I don't know if Li was influenced by himself, and the content became more and more realistic. Either it was so romantic that it made people blush, or it was so eerie that it made people's hair stand on end, either of which would easily make him lose his composure.

If Princess Muye happened to visit at this time, it would be embarrassing.

"You sneaked out so early, aren't you worried that Venerable Shengtian will find out?"

"Don't worry," Li proudly smiled, "She won't find out."

……

When Li Mengyun passed by Li's room, she noticed that the door was not covered, and the light under the door was very weak, as if only the flame of an oil lamp was left flickering.

Is she already asleep?

Even the door is not closed, this child... really doesn't look like a monster, and his vigilance is too low.

Or is it because Jinxia is here that makes her so relaxed?

Thinking of this, Li Mengyun couldn't help stretching out her hand to slightly open the door, and glanced inside - there was clearly a figure lying on the bed in the hotel wing, the quilt was curled into a ball, and only a small half of her tail was exposed outside.The oil lamp by the bed hadn't been extinguished yet, but it was about to dry up. The flames were flickering and jumping, indicating that the darkness was coming soon.

She really fell asleep.

From Jinxia to Ganzhou for investigation, and then from Baiyao Mountain all the way back to Shenzhou, she must be tired.Li Mengyun smiled, and leaned against the door frame to look at each other for a long time - the scene in front of her unknowingly brought her back to more than ten years ago, when Li always asked her to guard him before falling asleep, otherwise he would crawl around looking for him. Own.But now that she has grown up, not only has she not been arrested by the Privy Council, but she has found a stable residence that belongs to her. It can be said that this result is even better than the best situation she expected.

This thought also made Li Mengyun feel bitter.

Because during this process, Li has no memory about her.

There was nothing she could do but pull away and leave.

Even from a certain point of view, if she insisted on keeping Li by her side, the result would probably be worse.

"Have a good rest." Li Mengyun whispered and closed the door.

……

Three days later, the princess's emissary team quietly left Jinxia City without any publicity.Except for Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun, the main members of the Privy Affairs Bureau were almost all elite, leaving only Weihuang, Yu Linglong and Duyelong in the city.

Since the Salvation Church brought a lot of supplies sold by Jinxia when they went to Ganzhou, the journey was much slower than when they came, and it took almost a week to reach Baili Town.

This remote town has changed drastically since it left.

The Jinxia Army took over the governance of the town with almost no effort, and established a small branch office in this area. There are several more Jinxia Army camps around the town, and the total number of troops stationed has reached as many as [-]. Far more than a small town needs to be guarded.

It was the first time for the locals to see such a big battle, and at first they shyly hid at home and dared not go out.However, the Jinxia Army strictly forbids to harass the local people, and the branch office recruits people to repair roads and smooth traffic at a salary much higher than the local salary level. Big difference.

So much so that when Venerable Shengtian returned to Baili Town, he found that the residents here had become one with Jinxia's army. Not only did he see that the "jun lord" no longer fled in all directions, but he would take the initiative to ask if there was any new work to do.

This is completely different from their attitude towards Salvationism.

"His Royal Highness's way of running the army is really different," Venerable Shengtian sighed, "It can only be said that the defeat of the Allied Forces of Ten States was not unjust."

Ning Wanjun smiled, "It's actually not my credit, it's Xia Fan who formulated the management regulations of the Military Discipline and Affairs Bureau."

"So it was you..." His Holiness asked in surprise, "How did you do this?"

"Actually, there's nothing complicated." Xia Fan confessed frankly, "Just treat other people as human beings."

Venerable Shengtian was unable to pick up the words for a while.

Treat people as people... This sentence seems to be nonsense, but Li Mengyun, who has rich experience, deeply understands how difficult it is to do this.

For the vast majority of those in power, the common people are just a guide for them to seek great careers.

After passing through the mountains and forests of Baili Town, Xia Fan finally saw the rumored secret tunnel.

The moment he stepped into the hall, he couldn't help shaking.

"What's wrong with you?" Li asked concerned.

"No. It's nothing." Xia Fan took a deep breath to calm down his breathing.The scene in front of him is almost a standard "subway station", except that it does not have bright light tubes and colorful advertising boards, and the rest benches are no longer made of stainless steel and plastic products - all the furnishings he saw, from The stairs to the platform are all made of stone.

Chapter 757 The Escape Tower Special Train

"I didn't expect there to be a cave in this mountain." Ning Wanjun looked around curiously, "To excavate such a large underground space, I am afraid that a lot of manpower was used back then."

"At least Qiguo can't complete such a large project." Qian pondered, "Maybe there is a way to do it with the strength of the seven stars, but... the construction period may be more than decades."

"Seven Stars?" Venerable Shengtian snorted disdainfully, "It seems that the six countries are united, but in fact each has their own ghosts. Before the real king was born, the so-called Great Union of Privy Councils was simply a joke."

"It seems that your Excellency has a strong prejudice against the Seven Star Privy Council..."

"Why, do I still have to say good things to them?"

Xia Fan didn't care about the small dispute between Qian and others and the Salvation Church. He took the lead to pass through the ineffective separation fence and enter the inside of the parked carriage.

What can be confirmed is that these carriages have experienced a very long time, and most of the facilities have been damaged. For example, the seats and other components are only left with two pieces of stone and polished rods, and the floor is even covered with a layer of dried mud and dust.In addition, its shape is quite different from the subways I am familiar with—the windows on both sides are almost half the size of an arm, more like the airtight portholes used on aircraft, rather than transparent large pieces of glass. Perhaps this is the reason, That's why Li and the others regarded it as a house.

Suddenly, a woman's voice suddenly sounded——

"This is a special train to the escape tower. Since it passes through the exposure area, please wear protective clothing to avoid accidents."

Everyone was stunned.

Even though they had all heard about the underground experience from Li, they would still be startled by the sudden reminder when they experienced it for themselves.

"Don't worry, there is no one else here, the source of the sound comes from the top of the room." Luo said softly, "And when it is activated, the external qi will become very strong, even those who are sensitive to qi will have difficulty surviving outside. "

Xia Fan was attracted by the electronically synthesized sound.

He confirmed that he did not touch any buttons when he walked into the car, which means that the car will detect the person entering the interior by itself and issue a prompt at the right time.

This point reminded him of the scene in the Ascending Dragon Pagoda.

The stone tower can not only tell how many people have entered the tower, but also treat illegal entrants as part of the trial. Such a complicated judgment should be realized with various probes and monitors, but the tower itself looks the same Ordinary stones piled up are no different.

Compared with Denglong Pagoda, the station and subway in front of me are somewhat similar.

I just don't know if the electronic sound has other functions?

"Service." Xia Fan tried to say.

"It's useless," Li muttered, "she just repeats the same sentence, no matter what you say, she-"

"Excuse me, what service do you need? This special train can only provide drinks, food and reservation services." The other party suddenly changed his words.

There was a sudden silence in the carriage!

Venerable Lian Shengtian also looked at Xia Fan in surprise, his eyes full of astonishment.You must know that the Salvation Church has been operating here for more than ten years, and it has never been discovered that this non-existent woman would actually respond to the passengers' questions.

Xia Fan's curiosity also came up, he said casually, "Drink, iced coffee."

Soon, the sound of rushing water was heard from a corner of the carriage.

I saw a countertop suddenly turned up, holding out a square cup.A jet of jet-black water splashed down from the top, filling the cup in a short while.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Fan picked up the cup, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.

An indescribable sour smell came to the nostrils.

Not only did it smell bad, but he also noticed that there were many impurities floating in the water, including a film like oil spots and the corpses of a few bugs.

It seems that after an unknown number of years, although the machine can still function, the food stored in it has long since deteriorated and cannot be eaten.

"What the hell is going on?" Venerable Shengtian couldn't help asking.

"Did you ever listen to the news about this place?" Li Ye looked excited, "I confronted her for a long time, but she didn't even answer me!"

"Uh..." Facing the excited crowd, Xia Fan didn't know how to explain it for a while, and finally he followed suit and pushed it to the listener, "That's right. But the illusion I saw was not exactly the same as this one, so It cannot be generalized.”

Then he raised his head and said, "Appointment registration."

This time the electronic voice was silent for a long time, and it took about a quarter of an hour before he spoke again, "There is no flight ready for the escape tower to be lifted off. This may be caused by an error in the retrieval system. You can go to the escape tower first." , and then register. Note that the escape qualification does not necessarily mean that you will be able to get a seat, please hurry up and complete the wearing of the protective clothing."

For some reason, Xia Fan vaguely felt a heavy feeling in the other party's voice.

Is this also preset?

"Ascension flight? Retrieval system? What are those things?" Everyone couldn't hide the novelty in their hearts for a while, and they discussed one after another.

Only a trace of shock flashed in the eyes of Venerable Shengtian.

You must know that in the prophecy of Salvationism, people fly to the sky through the heaven, and there is more than one heaven!Although these news are not secrets to the top leaders of the Salvation Church, they have spent a lot of time and experience to explore the conclusions.Unexpectedly, Xia Fan had already obtained information about the depths of Baiyao Mountain through the shuttle bus before he even arrived at the patio area. This is unbelievable!

Is it true that as Yan Qing said, there is no question in the world that he cannot answer?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to make new breakthroughs in the underlying problems that have plagued the Church of Salvation for a long time?Thinking of this, Li Mengyun couldn't help clenching her five fingers.

On the other side, Xia Fan tried to ask a few more keywords, but the carriage did not give any further response.

Perhaps this special train did not consider too much comfort at the beginning of its design, he thought to himself.At the moment of crisis when everyone wants to flee, I am afraid that being able to send passengers to the escape tower is already doing my best. The rationing of resources is destined not to invest too much in an overused tool.

"In this case, everyone put on the protective clothing." Xia Fan pointed to the wardrobe next to the carriage.

Apparently, there was a maximum number of people in a carriage, and when twenty pieces of protective clothing were released, the green light on the closet turned red.It wasn't until the extra people left the compartment that the synthesized voice reminded again, "The airtight door is about to close, I wish you a smooth journey."

Then Xia Fan felt a slight shock in his body, and the scenery outside the window suddenly became pitch black.

"...Are we on our way?" Yan Qing asked with a frown, arms crossed.

It could be seen that she didn't like the dress that fit her figure very much.

"That's right." Li Mengyun had already gotten used to the appearance of the protective clothing, and leaned against the porthole and said calmly, "The total journey will take about half an hour. When the window lights up again, you will have reached your destination."
