Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 302 Periphery
Of course there is something wrong with this place!
Ah Sha was ordered by shopkeeper Zheng to check the situation of the store. No matter how bad the situation outside the Xiuzhen Bazaar was, it was impossible for him not to go in and take a look at his own store before turning around and saying that he wanted to leave.

It is said that if the city gate is closed, you will not be able to catch up... Do practitioners really need to worry about the city gate?Early this morning, when shopkeeper Zheng returned to the county seat, he didn't go through the city gate!Ah Sha didn't know that Li Lijun had already filled in the tunnel, so she insisted on leaving regardless of her obstruction, which was abnormal in itself.

Now that he was splashed with water, he was sober and sober.

Li Lijun asked him: "Since when did you feel that you were going to leave? What was going on in your mind at that time?"

Asha couldn't tell.In fact, ever since he saw the scorched earth, he really wanted to turn around and leave. He only insisted on walking forward because he thought about his responsibilities. He didn't expect that he couldn't keep going after walking less than a hundred steps.At that time, he was in a daze, thinking that he must leave here and never come back, as if he was in a daze.Looking back now, he couldn't help but fight coldly.

He asked Li Lijun: "Miss Li Qi, what's wrong with me? Could it be that I've been bewitched?!"

Li Lijun thinks this is not bewitching, but a bit like the "Muggle Repelling Curse" she has heard of in other mission worlds. It is to make people stay away from a place automatically and consciously, and make up a reasonable reason in their own mind. let yourself go.Ah Sha was affected by this spell, but she was not, probably because her cultivation level was much higher than that of Ah Sha.

Instructing the system in her mind, she adjusted the drone to a nearby high-altitude surveillance, and found that there were no mortals in the surrounding area, centered on the Houtu Temple, and the surrounding area was about five miles away.It was obvious that the farmland in this area had been turned into scorched earth, but none of the farmers responded to this.In areas outside this range, rural farmers still transported river water to the fields to irrigate crops when the evening was relatively cooler, as they did a few days ago, but everyone avoided the scorched earth, just like the Earth doesn't exist at all.

Since the severe drought in Guanzhong, nearby farmers have worked tirelessly every day to fetch water from the river to irrigate their fields, trying to save this year's harvest under the disaster weather.Under normal circumstances, even if these farmers saw that their fields were hit by lightning and their crops were chopped into coke, it would be impossible for them to do nothing.Even turning over the ground to see if there are any crops that have not been struck by lightning is a possible response.At worst, someone should go to the field to cry, right?

However, within a radius of five miles, there was no one at all.Obviously, there is farmland next to the Houtu Temple, and she saw someone farming there a few days ago!
This is of course the reason why some people specially use spells to shield people out.As for those who use spells, no need to ask, she knows that it must have something to do with the True Immortal Temple.

Wanting to understand this, she suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and calmly said to Ah Sha: "Maybe there is something wrong with being struck by lightning at the market, and the supervisor didn't want ordinary people to see it, so he deliberately used magic to block people." It's outside. We are people from the market, and it's only natural to come here to inquire about the situation. Just bear with us, let's get closer and see if we can find someone who knows the inside story."

Ah Sha sounded reasonable, and hurriedly agreed, forcibly holding back the discomfort in his heart, and rode the horse forward for another hundred meters, the spirit horse was unwilling to move forward no matter what.

Li Lijun dismounted calmly, put the spirit horse back into the spirit animal bag, and motioned for Ah Sha to do so, and the two continued to walk.

When she was about a hundred meters away from the Houtu Temple, she could see the traces of the cave she dug when she came out of the ground. Just now, Ah Sha saw some familiar figures, all gathered in the Houtu Temple. Around the temple, he hurriedly greeted and ran over.

Those few people are all shop assistants in the cultivation market, they are similar to Asa, they often meet each other on weekdays, and they are quite familiar with each other.A Sha chatted with them for a while, then came back and told Li Lijun: "The market space seems to have been damaged by lightning. Now a real person from Zhenxian Temple is repairing it in it. He said that he needs helpers who understand talisman formations, and those who don't know how to do it No one is allowed to come near."

He looked at Li Lijun expectantly: "Miss Li Qi, you are a master of talismans, can you help me..."

Li Lijun blinked: "Help the people of Zhenxianguan repair the market? You said it, that is a real person who established the foundation, what is my cultivation level? How can I help you?"

Ah Sha also couldn't make up his mind: "I only know how to draw a few kinds of talismans, and my skills are very shallow. This kind of thing needs to be cleared up by our shopkeeper. Seventh Lady's skills are no less than our shopkeeper's. It should... Can you help me?"

Li Lijun gave him an idea: "Now you go back to the county, maybe the city gate is not closed yet. Go back and ask your shopkeeper what you mean. Anyway, your shop is in the market. What's the situation now? If it's broken , and how to repair it? And where do the repair materials come from? Who can I ask for repairs? All these have to be decided by your shopkeeper.”

Ah Sha felt that it was reasonable, he gritted his teeth: "Qi Niangzi, even if I don't go to the city, I still have a way to send a message to the shopkeeper... Anyway, I have to find a way to see what's going on in the store first. I'll go first Find out if you can ask Zhenren Guan, anyway, I also want to know what happened to the shop and how much material is needed to repair it, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to the shopkeeper later.”

Li Lijun nodded and let him go find someone.This kind of thing, he, a local snake, is more familiar with it than she, an outsider.

Ah Sha went back to look for his acquaintances, and Li Lijun followed him, not far away, but outsiders seemed to be with him.Zheng's Talisman Store has been open in the Xiuzhen Fair for many years. Although the shopkeeper Zheng and others have the intention to keep it secret, almost everyone knows that his family has warehouses and other industries in the nearby area. Bring others.However, some of them recognized that Li Lijun was a new visitor to the cultivation market, and they had doubts in their hearts, but now who has the leisure to meddle in other people's affairs?Of course, it is important to first inquire about the damage of your own store!

Li Lijun approached Houtu Temple so smoothly, and found several familiar shop owners, but there was no Mrs. Wang among them.Probably she still has to take care of her injured cousin, so she can't be distracted for the time being.

After a while, Ah Sha came back to discuss with her again: "The person who came to Zhenxian Temple is Ge Zhenren. I heard that it is the fifth floor of the foundation building. It is the true inheritance of Jindan, a master of formation, and has a great background. People waited close to the market space, saying that only those who can help are allowed to enter. I can't go in now to see the situation of the store, so I can only find a way to ask Guan Zhenzhen. Someone told me that Guan Zhenren is responsible for Du Zhenren. The funeral is over, and I won't be back until evening. I plan to take this opportunity to go back and send a letter to the shopkeeper. Even if I can't enter the city, I have to let him know what happened here. Seventh lady, please stay here for now Waiting for the news. I have already told others that you are from our Fulu line. If there is any new news, you can represent our store."

Li Lijun nodded: "Then go early and come back early. Even if I can represent Fu Lu Xing to inquire about the news, I can't make up your mind for your shopkeeper when something serious happens."

Ah Sha knew this clearly, sighed, bowed to her solemnly, and left in a hurry.

Li Lijun stayed where he was, listening to what others were talking about from time to time, thinking about where to go to find Master Xuanying.

At this time, she was pleasantly surprised to hear a familiar voice: "Ah! Why is Junior Sister Li here?!"

She resisted the urge to turn up the corners of her mouth, and turned her head with a surprised expression: "Senior Brother Xuanying, it's great that you're fine!"
