Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 297 Burns
Li Lijun walked unhurriedly until it got dark, and then he let go of his pace and strode forward.

Of course she wasn't just walking around.The footprints left by the snitch are not obvious. If it were an official of a mortal government, or a scout in the army, maybe only someone with very good eyesight and rich tracking experience would be able to spot it, but after Li Lijun blinked twice in a row, Behind the eyelids, these marks are still very recognizable.Because the owner of the footprints is a practitioner, and he didn't specifically cover up his whereabouts, where he walked, there are still faint traces of spiritual power.

After dark, this trace becomes more conspicuous.

Fortunately, Li Lijun came here today, otherwise such a faint aura would disappear naturally after a day.

However, Li Lijun was able to trace it so easily not only because the snitch left footprints, but also because he stole a treasure from Zheng's Talisman from Shopkeeper Zheng and the others.

When this treasure was in the talisman line, it must have been stored with a special storage tool.This storage tool may not be very convenient to move. Therefore, after the shopkeeper Zheng took the treasure away from the store, he stored it in the secret warehouse of Hu County Wenfang Store instead of carrying it with him.Somehow, the snitch found the warehouse and stole the items. At first, they might have hidden them next to their bodies, or wrapped them with something.But after a certain distance from the city, he took out the things, maybe because he wanted to change the storage method?

Li Lijun looked at the red aura that appeared faintly along with the snitch's footprints in the night, and guessed that the treasure lost by shopkeeper Zheng was probably of fire attribute, and it had been emitting red-hot heat to the outside world.Perhaps both shopkeeper Zheng and the Snitch are unwilling to carry this thing with them for a long time, because its heat is too hot?
Shopkeeper Zheng has always been vague about the treasure, and Li Lijun is not interested in asking too much.It was a bit difficult to identify the snitch's footprints in the pitch black, but the aura emanating from the treasure clearly guided her in the direction.

Keeping the aura vision on all the time is quite exhausting.However, the red light is quite conspicuous in the dark night. Li Lijun only needs to see its route clearly and let the system record it, and then he can restore his normal vision afterwards.How to go, the system will guide her.In this way, it took her about a quarter of an hour to open the vision of the aura, which was quite easy.

After leaving the avenue, she let out her spirit horse, and began to turn into the country dirt road on it, which saved a little more effort.

Sure enough, as shopkeeper Zheng said, this spirit horse has already been equipped with a saddle, and even the reins are matching magic weapons.Even if Li Lijun's legs are still short and he can't step on the stirrups firmly, he can still sit firmly on the horse's back just by relying on the reins and saddle.Whether it is going forward or backward, walking slowly or galloping, turning left or right or turning right, as long as she controls the rein, the spirit horse can immediately respond to her commands, and it is obedient and docile, fast and stable.

Li Lijun rode the horse all the way, and wanted to get a spirit horse for himself in his heart, but he didn't know what the price of the spirit horse and the matching saddle and rein was at the current cultivation market.
She rode a spirit horse, followed the faint red light, and chased her all the way to Qinling in a leisurely manner.

She looked at the mountains and forests in front of her, and immediately turned her horse's head.She is only here to do intelligence gathering work, so there is no need to do risky things.

Of course, she didn't really just let it go, it's just that she didn't intend to go into Qinling to find someone.

She released three little black cranes with night vision function, and flew into the forest of Qinling in three directions respectively.But she herself continued to ride the horse unhurriedly, holding a small target scope in her hand, and glanced at it from time to time, while strolling casually, observing the nearby terrain by the way.

It is about 20 miles away from the place where she camped last night, and there are several manors of rich and powerful people nearby, but in this area, the location is relatively remote. Others are more simple.But no matter whether it is luxurious or simple, the interiors of these manors are now completely dark, with only one or two lights on near the gates. It is estimated that the servants who guard the gates live here.

However, if the drought in Guanzhong continues and the sun gets stronger and stronger during the day, sooner or later some dignitaries who can't stand the high temperature will run to their manors to escape the summer heat, right?At least the manor villa in this area is close to the Qinling Mountains, shaded by trees, and the environment is still more comfortable than in Chang'an City.Li Lijun thought to herself, if she wanted to buy a property nearby, she had to act a little faster. If she waited until the prices of houses in this area rose before making a move, she would suffer a loss.

The little black crane flying to the west found a faint trace of red spiritual light, followed it, and heard the sound of gurgling water, and there seemed to be a waterfall and stream ahead.

The red light becomes faint and invisible here.

The little black crane circled the waterfall, saw a figure shaking under the rocks at the corner of the stream below, and flew over.

Li Lijun steered the horse to a temporary stop.At this time, she was several miles away from the little black crane to the west.In order to ensure more accurate information collection, she simply transferred the other two little black cranes, but they are still on the way.

The huge mountain rock is located by the stream, and it happens to be suspended in the air to separate a small space, which can shelter people hiding under the rock from wind and rain.There were two people under the stone, one was lying on the gravel by the stream, the other was looking at his companion worriedly.

The little black crane flew a little closer, and landed lightly on top of the rock, just in time to transmit the conversation between the two people below the rock back to the ears of its owner, Li Lijun.

The man lying bent down seemed to be injured, and his companion was thinking brokenly: "Third brother, you can't go on like this! You are hurt badly, you have to go to the doctor, at least get some medicine, otherwise the injury will only go away. It's getting heavier and heavier, do you want to die?!"

The "Third Brother" said in a hoarse voice: "No! When I started yesterday, the people from the Zheng family saw my face. Once I show up outside, they will definitely let the people from Zhenxian Temple arrest me! I am so hurt! The pain is severe, but it’s actually just a burn. You try to go to the nearby villages and towns to get some medicine for me to use, and it will be fine in a few days.”

As soon as Li Lijun heard it, he knew that he had found the right master.Could this "third brother" be the Snitch?But she didn't hear shopkeeper Zheng say that he was injured, why does he seem to be seriously injured now?

The companion continued to persuade "Third Brother": "This is incomparable to the burns in the mortal world! Third Brother, this is a burn from a magic weapon! How can I get it from the herbs used by ordinary mediocrity?! If I had known this, You might as well not steal from the Zheng family!"

"It's great to be able to steal a magic weapon. How can you and I pick and choose?" "Third brother" said weakly, "Fourth brother, don't be naughty, go and find some herbs and bring them back to me." If you don't know the herbal medicine, go to a healer, at worst, kill him later. As long as I survive these few days, and my injury improves slightly, I will take you outside the pass. I'm afraid you won't be able to find the magic weapon when you get rid of it Can we find a good elixir to cure my injury? When the time comes, we will find a big sect to take refuge in, and we won't be afraid that people from the Zheng family will find us."

"Fourth brother" sighed: "Which sect is powerful in the view of true immortals nowadays? It's a pity that true immortals can't watch us." He came up with another idea, "Third brother, let's go to Boss Liu? They are messing around in the black market. After many years, there must be a way to get a panacea to cure your injury, right?"

"Third brother" shook his head: "No way. You didn't know that you were hiding outside. Boss Liu died yesterday! There is no body left. I don't think his brothers can escape. Others don't know the details. They saw me suffer. You are seriously injured and your cultivation base is low, why don’t you take the opportunity to kill people and seize the treasure? Just do as I tell you. Don’t worry, the treasure is hidden in the water now, even if the Zheng family comes, they won’t be able to find it.”
