Chapter 33 Arrival in the Capital
This night, except for those who slept very soundly, everyone heard noises outside.
Sometimes there were footsteps walking back and forth, sometimes there was the sound of flower pots and tiles falling, and someone even heard whispers coming from outside.
You must know that they are in the official inn, and it is a specially arranged courtyard. How can they be so noisy? Who dares to come and make noise.
When they woke up in the morning, everyone felt that they had not slept well, but General Xue, who slept with Long Baoer, slept very soundly that night.
Although there was some noise in the yard at night, it was just because they had not slept well, and no one took it seriously.
But it has been like this all day long, and everyone can't stand it. All of them had blue eyes and low spirits. Even though they were well-trained soldiers of General Xue, they couldn't bear it anymore.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all so listless these days?" General Xue brought Long Baoer down, who had already washed his face and gargled, and even combed the two little balls on his head, and saw this. One scene.
"Dad, didn't you hear anything in the yard last night?"
"No? What's the noise? When did you sleep so lightly?" General Xue was surprised.
The soldiers he brought with him had all been on the battlefield.
All of them were careless when they had nothing to do. When they needed to sleep, they would lie down on the kang and fall asleep. Because if you can't sleep, you won't be able to recover your physical strength in time. Without good physical strength and mental energy, it may mean that you won't survive.
How could such a group of people be unable to sleep because of some movement outside the door?
"Dad, you really didn't hear anything?" Xue Lei looked in disbelief. "I really want to sleep well, but as soon as I close my eyes, there is movement in my ears, someone is talking."
"Yeah, me too."
"I also……"
Everyone spoke in unison, General Xue frowned.
"There was someone talking outside, but you didn't go and chase them away?"
"To be honest, General, we went out several times, but there was no one outside."
"Not only are there no people, there are no wild cats barking, broken flowerpots, or fallen tiles. The ground is clean."
General Xue frowned and turned to look at Long Baoer, "Bao, did you hear something?"
Long Baoer shook his head, "No."
Just at this time, Taoist Master Ma came down from above, and General Xue quickly asked, "Master Taoist, did you hear anything yesterday?"
"What sound? No!" Ma Daoye was stunned.
Everyone recounted what happened in the past few nights, and Ma Daoye also frowned.
"Eh. Little brother..." Long Baoer jumped down from General Xue's arms and ran to Yi'er. He looked carefully for a long time, his little eyebrows knitted together.
"What's wrong, Long Bao'er?"
"Little brother's black energy has increased again!" Long Bao'er whispered.
"Huh? Black energy?" Ma Daoye moved his fingers slightly and quickly opened his eyes. He was really surprised by what he saw.
In fact, he discovered yesterday that Yi'er is actually not an ordinary child. His ancestors should be from the Fox clan, and he also has a trace of blood in his body.
This seems to be the reason why Guo Cheng came to him.
The reason why Yi'er was brought along was because the child's appearance was darkened, which was obviously the appearance that he would have before he died.
But Guo Cheng is dead, and no one should want to trade lives with him. Why is there still such a strong black energy?
After careful observation, Ma Daoye discovered a little purple energy from the black energy.
It seems that although there is a narrow escape, there is still a glimmer of hope. I just didn't expect that the black energy would increase like this overnight.
Thinking back to what everyone said just now, Ma Daoye had some thoughts in his heart.
When entering the inn that night, Ma Daoye deliberately stayed with Yi'er. Normally, Ma Daoye would be in a room by himself and practice at night.
Sure enough, in the dead of night, there was movement outside. But Yi'er, who was sleeping well in bed, suddenly got up and walked out slowly.
And his eyes were still closed.
Xue Lei didn't sleep tonight either and lived next door to Ma Daoye. Hearing a soft knock from the door next door, Xue Lei immediately came out, but saw Yi'er coming out.
Just as Xue Lei was about to speak out, he realized that Yi'er's eyes were closed. He looked at Ma Daoye behind Yi'er, "Master Dao, is he suffering from sleepwalking syndrome?"
"No." Ma Daoye shook his head, "Something was calling him."
"I didn't call him... Could it be that those movements every night are caused by something calling him?"
Ma Daoye said nothing, and the two of them continued to move forward with Yi'er. He didn't stop until he reached the gate of the small courtyard.
On the door, there was a yellow talisman posted by Master Ma before going to bed. It's just posted on the outside.
As if he heard Yi'er's footsteps or smelled his scent, there was sudden movement outside the yard.
Xue Lei was shocked and whispered, "That's it."
Ma Daoye nodded, "They are just some lowly spirits. Once they come, let them go and never return."
Sure enough, it was the first time that I felt that the target was so close. The things outside were already so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and began to call Yi'er out again and again.
But a child of several years old, still unconscious, can only grab the door and shake it, unable to open it at all.
After several attempts, the other party finally couldn't bear it anymore and tried to open the courtyard door from the outside. This time he threw himself on the door, and golden light suddenly flashed. After a scream, the outside of the courtyard was completely silent.
"Okay! Go back to sleep!" Ma Daoye yawned and turned around to leave.
Xue Lei picked up Yi'er and followed him, "Master Dao, will it be fine this time?"
"It's just a spirit monster that has not yet transformed into a human form. After this blow, I'm afraid I will have to start training again."
Xue Lei was speechless, "So serious!"
"Did you know that it chased us all the way, just to lure Yi'er out. If Yi'er really goes out, there is a high probability that he will be eaten by the other party." Ma Daoye said coldly, "It is not a pity to die for such a monster. Even if it is If you practice again, you will be useless!"
"Indeed, Long Bao'er also said that day that you must have kind thoughts in your cultivation. But Master Dao, isn't this child Yi'er very dangerous?"
"Hey." Ma Daoye looked at Yi'er who had fallen asleep and sighed, "I will show my kindness and accept him as a registered disciple. I will seal his bloodline."
The next morning, everyone woke up full of energy and no longer as sleepy as before.
After a few more days, they finally returned to the capital.
Xue Lei knocked on the wall of the carriage, "Long Baoer, look quickly, this is the capital!"
Long Baoer poked her little head out curiously. Her brother had taught her that the huge gate was called a city gate, and this city gate was more powerful than the ones she had seen before.
"Long Baoer, look, your aunt is here to pick you up!"
