The magician in the city

Chapter 562 Red Spring Ditch (4)

As soon as Du Zheng raised his hand, he slowly approached the dirty door panel, and the static electricity generated by the magic particles fell on his palm like a uniform wind.

The old woman downstairs yelled at him, "Du Zhengyi, what did you find?"

Du Zheng turned a deaf ear, he stood quietly until tens of seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and kicked the door open.

The smell of rotting blood in the room suddenly hit the nostrils, as if a box of canned herring was suddenly pried open, and the stench burst out suddenly.Du Zheng was looking expressionlessly at this room that was also full of spells. Blood and human tissue were splashed everywhere, as if someone had exploded here.

Of course, someone did get their chest blown out here.

The concentration of the smell was slightly diffused, and Du Zhengyi immediately walked in, walked straight through two-thirds of the room, and suddenly stopped on his raised toes.He moved his feet, and there was a thick gap in the middle of the rough wood floor, and a little light was embedded in that gap.He stretched out his left hand, as if pulled by a little force, a tiny crystal flew out from the gap in the floor and landed in his hand.

The limited amount of magical power that sensed his call in the crystal was just enough to create a barrier that temporarily obscured a crime scene.

Is it unnecessary...or has the incident happened in a hurry?

Du Zhengyi impatiently neutralized the magic in the crystal, and threw the crystal out casually.Which pervert made this kind of thing. It's not very powerful, but it's unique. It simulates like a living person casting spells.

"Du Zhengyi!" Xiang Gan called his name downstairs like a soul.

He said nothing, turned his head and stared at the tightly closed window, the nailed window suddenly opened, and the cold wind from the distant mountains blew in, blowing away the turbid and rotten atmosphere in the house.He unconsciously looked out the window, the mountains covered with glaciers in the distance were shining with ice blue light in the sunlight, while the mountains nearby were red like flames.

He should have gone downstairs immediately, there is nothing valuable here, and the sealing magic with this shielding effect is meaningless.Such a place, he is very annoying.

But when he glanced out of the window, he was suddenly captured for a moment.He stood in a daze for a while, vaguely remembering that a long time ago, he once stood here, or looked at the huge glacier from this direction.The blue mountain peaks that are also connected to the sky are also held up by the red mountains, as if ice and fire blend together.

He was sure he had never been to Kongsang Mountain.

But that distant familiarity is engraved in the depths of the soul, as if he once trekked through the hot and vast sandy sea, or swam through the dark endless sea in one breath, and when he arrived here, let the first breath of the air of his hometown pass through his lungs, sweet And cool.

home?Du Zheng was stunned, this is definitely not his hometown.The lungs of mages, like humans, are more adapted to the altitude of the plains, and no one except those ascetics would like to live in such a place.

But looking at the glacier-covered mountain again, a strange comfort filled my heart again.A strange thought popped up in his heart—he knew that he would eventually go there.

He was taken aback, as if stung by the thought.

Why is he going there?He didn't remember, and the only thing he could guess was that someone planted the idea in his mind.When was it implanted?It should have been a long time ago, far back when he was powerless to resist.But why?What are you going to do?

This idea is not strong, he can just walk away.If he was free and safe, he might visit now, or someday in 100 years.He thought for a while, the idea of ​​having to return to Qionglin in four hours was more urgent than this, it seemed that he was not bothered too much.But since he still has a little over four hours, and the clues have been cut off, if he doesn't go and have a look, he has nothing to do now.

Xiang Gan couldn't wait any longer, and just as she was about to go upstairs to have a look, Du Zhengyi rushed down from the stairs.As soon as she was about to inquire about the situation, Du Zhengyi issued an order impatiently, "Everyone follow me, I will drive the first car, and the others will follow me. The ones at the door are moving, and there are only four hours to act. Everyone Don't delay me."

The battle mages at the gate scattered in an instant, and most of them teleported away. Although no one had the ability to teleport over long distances like Du Zhengyi, it was still a short distance to teleport to the outside of the village to grab a few cars behind. can do it.The only ones who did not disappear were Xiang Gan in the yard and Yan Hao who did not follow up. Du Zheng glanced at Yan Hao, always feeling that he was not very smart.

Yan Hao was glared at by him, and quickly turned around and ran out belatedly.It turned out that he, Xiang Gan, Doctor Mahjong, and Du Zhengyi got on an off-road vehicle.

Xiang Gan sat in the back seat of the car, stretched his legs and feet, and finally couldn't help but said to Du Zhengyi, "You've been rushing for time."

Du Zhengyi said nothing with a cold face, reversed the car, turned around, and set off.

"It seems that Qionglin's side is not very safe, right?" Xiang Gan said worriedly.

Mahjong was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and suddenly knocked the back of the seat with the back of his head.

Yan Hao couldn't help asking, "Doctor, what's wrong with you?"

No one answered him, Mahjong and Du Zheng looked at each other, their gazes were unpredictable, then Mahjong put on his hat and got ready to go to sleep.The air pressure in the car was so inexplicably low, Yan Hao couldn't bear the heavy atmosphere, and retreated into the seat anxiously.He has heard of many crises that Du Zhengyi has experienced, each of which is precipitous that he has never encountered before. Thinking that he may face such fear four hours later, his palms are once again filled with sweat, Can't help but keep pinching his two hands back and forth.

Du Zhengyi didn't look at the map. This place is sparsely populated but a brand new road has been built, but the road seems to go around the mountains, wasting a lot of time.He took a shortcut, found a small road that looked like it had been used by construction vehicles, and drove directly into a red valley.This valley is extremely wide, with high red cliffs on both sides, but the width between the valleys can swallow a large river.If Roach was here, he would probably tell him that this is a river valley, which was formed by the melting water of glaciers, and now the thin spring in the middle of the valley sometimes swells into a raging river.The name of the so-called Hongquangou is really stingy.

It took them an hour to drive, and the valley still didn't end, and they didn't see anyone, and the water in the valley gradually widened.Du Zhengyi met several herds of antelopes on the road, and they were not very afraid of people.

Xiang Gan was very tolerant of the long wait in the process of carrying out the task. Since she didn't need to do anything and the environment was always comfortable and peaceful, she soon fell asleep.

Mahjong woke up after a nap, wrapped himself in the jacket, and stared listlessly at the passing animals for a while.The mountain on one side slowed down, and there were many more animals on the slopes of the mountain. "Du Zhengyi, I seem to have seen a bear. It seems to be a family. One big one leads several small ones, and one small one looks a bit like Luo Qi... now his mother has taken him back. Tsk, bears are the same all over the world. .”

Du Zhengyi ignored him, he yawned boredly, and continued to broadcast alone, "It's strange that there are no humans in this place. Humans should be everywhere. Hey, let me tell you, last year I went to Tanzania Playing on the prairie. At that time, I was enjoying the quiet and uninhabited wilderness, listening to the call of the wilderness. There were no people, no machines, no noise, only the harmony and tranquility of nature. I was so moved that I was about to cry. At the beginning, when human beings were not born, this world must have been like this. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came out of the dense grass a few meters behind me: Fuck, there are no lions to see here, let’s go and change places. ——Holy shit, can you believe it? It’s still in Chinese, and it’s not native speakers! There’s no artistic conception at all.”

Yan Hao couldn't help laughing in the back seat, Mahjong immediately turned his head and gave him a comradely look, finally a battle mage can have a sense of humor. "Do you guys eat cookies? The car ride is boring. Here you go. New flavor Oreos, kinda special."

Yan Hao quickly took it over, "Thank you."

Mahjong kept looking back at him, so he quickly stuffed a piece into his mouth, his brows twitched, "Uh...star anise flavor?"

Mahjong suppressed a smile, "Isn't it special?"

Yan Hao resisted not to vomit, swallowed it whole, and nodded without saying a word. "Highly concentrated star anise flavor."

Mahjong turned around with a smile, and suddenly called out, "Du Zhengyi, did the Toyota in front get stuck? It must have been driven by a human. It got stuck in the mud by the river. This place is like a plateau swamp. Humans have only If a car is traveling alone, it is certain that you will not be able to get out by yourself, shall we help?"

It should be that Mahjong is never wrong about these nonsense things about human beings. He is a doctor of human beings, which is equivalent to walking through the cross-section of human life.But this is really a bad luck, to help humans drag the car out, it only takes a few minutes with magic, but with human methods... three or 10 minutes, right?

"Do me a favor." Mahjong interceded, "If he gets stuck here, he might be eaten by a bear in the middle of the night."

Du Zhengyi frowned and shook his head, but he still chose a dry road and parked the car not far behind the stuck Toyota.He opened the car door and walked down, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and walked slowly towards the Toyota car.

The Toyota car in front also opened the door, and a tall man stepped out, wearing a white Colombian jacket on his upper body, light gray almost white outdoor pants on his lower body, and off-white snow boots.This outfit doesn't match his appearance. He has big bags under his eyes, a huge and clumsy body, and looks like a middle-aged man doing rough work.Men at this age rarely like to wear white, except for doctors with some occupational diseases.But he is certainly not a doctor.

As soon as Du Zheng took a puff of cigarette, for a moment he almost thought this man was a mage.But then the middle-aged man who was doing rough work smiled at him cautiously, and spoke in a low, elegant and polite voice, "The mountains here are so beautiful, but the road is not very good."

Unlike a mage, he also feels no magic residue.

Du Zheng nodded, the car was empty, "Driving alone?"

The man in white smiled shyly, "Maybe it's a midlife crisis."

Du Zhengyi understood, "Come on a casual trip?"

The man in white nodded shyly.

Du Zheng handed him a cigarette case, "One?"

The man thanked him again and again, took out a cigarette from Du Zhengyi's hand, followed the car behind Du Zhengyi with his eyes, and looked at the entire convoy one by one.As soon as Du Zheng took out a lighter to light it for him, he looked away and whispered shyly, "G55 is not suitable for this uninhabited self-driving route, it is too expensive, and if the parts are broken, it is difficult to get them here. However, the business car behind is also yours? This is the first time I met a business car in this kind of place."

Du Zheng glanced back, he didn't know which idiot bought this Mercedes-Benz, and some mages are like this. "Oh, I picked it up on the road, a bunch of rich second generations."

The man nodded, and said carefully, "There is a road across this mountain, you should take the road later."

Du Zheng glanced at him and nodded, "Pull the car out for you first."
