Chapter 73: Why Doesn’t the Leader Take Action?
"Miss Qin, what are mirages?" Meng Tang asked Qin Ganglie while looking for someone: "Do these mirages also cause hallucinations like the common miasma in mountains and forests?"
Bai Yu was surprised: "What did the sect leader say? Are you hallucinating?"
"No, no," Qin Ganglie said hurriedly: "It is said that there is a water dragon in the East China Sea called 'mirage'. It is good at swallowing clouds and mist to make people lose their way. But no one has ever seen a real water dragon. However, there is a kind of long insect in southern Xinjiang that meets people in the morning.
The spit turns into mist. Because it resembles the legendary mirage dragon, the world often calls this mist mirage. The mirage disappears at sunrise and can also disappear when it encounters mugwort."
While she was talking, the nearby fog had been dispersed by her using mugwort leaves, and the surrounding rocks and trees could be clearly seen.
"Is this the long worm you are talking about?"
The sword in Meng Tang's hand was pointed at the corpse of a man in black. There was a bulge under the man's black clothes that was still trembling slightly.
Until a triangular snake head was revealed, the sword light flashed past, and several long black snakes were knocked out by the sword energy and hit the tree.
"Yes, that's it!"
As soon as Qin Ganglie finished speaking, he saw Sect Leader Meng raising his sword again and cutting off all the black snakes hidden under the surrounding vegetation.
Looking at the black snakes whose bodies were broken into several pieces but still twisting and trembling, the face of the leader of the Moon Sect turned pale.
He quickly turned around and walked in the other direction: "It's important to find someone!"
He followed the body of the man in black on the ground back to the broken carriage, but still found nothing.
Bai Yu was a little anxious and called people everywhere: "Alliance Leader! Where are you, Alliance Leader!"
But no matter how he called people, the only response he received was the empty silence around him.
"Yin Feng Song Yue has also disappeared," Qin Ganglie said: "Sect Master, they won't be in any danger, right?"
"No, these men in black are no match for them."
"Then how can Sect Master Meng ensure that there are no martial arts masters among these people?" Bai Yu said again: "You should not have separated from the leader just now, how could you put him in danger!"
"Am I putting him in danger?" Meng Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at him, as if questioning: "The mighty leader of the martial arts league, known as the best in the world, doesn't even have the ability to protect himself?"
"Of course the leader can protect himself! But have you forgotten your son? If the leader is the only one, he can escape in any way, but what if there is a burden around him?"
Bai Yu was furious. He couldn't find the leader of the alliance at the moment. Meng Linxiao also made sarcastic remarks. He wanted to spit on this leader Meng.
Meng Tang gave him a cold look, then looked deep into the woods.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, and two figures in white hurriedly ran out, it was Yin Feng and Song Yue.
The two were overjoyed: "Sect Master!"
"Have you seen my leader!" Bai Yu hurried forward to greet him and said impatiently: "And your young leader!"
The two of them were shocked again when they heard this: "Leader Shen and Young Master are missing?"
Meng Tang nodded: "Did you two discover anything in the forest?"
Yinfeng shook his head: "We chased the man in black with the iron rope straight into the fog. We were already separated. We didn't meet again until the fog dissipated, but we didn't see Leader Shen or Young Master."
Songyue was a little worried: "Sect Master, are these people coming for the young master just like they did in Fenghou City?"
"Their martial arts are not the same," Meng Tang said, using his sword to cut open the cloth covering one of them's face: "Look, it seems to be from the Western Regions."
Under the cloth was a face that somewhat resembled that of a barbarian. Yinfeng Songyue also quickly went to check on the others, and they actually discovered several barbarian faces.
Not only that, these people also have strange patterns tattooed on their arms, which look both human and Buddha-like, very strange.
"The Palace of Great Compassion and Compassion?" Bai Yu was surprised: "These people are from the Palace of Great Compassion and Compassion? Do they know that the alliance leader is going to conquer the Demon Palace and want to intercept the alliance leader on the way?"
"Obviously not," Meng Tang said coldly: "How could they not know who they are facing? In this world, who
Can anyone be Shen Yulong's opponent?"
Bai Yu wanted to stamp his feet right now. The number one in the world was Shen Yulong. What does it have to do with her, Shen Yuning!
If the opportunity to save people was delayed because Meng Tang misunderstood that the alliance leader's martial arts was too high, then it would be too late.
"Sect Master Meng..."
"If I'm not wrong, they probably came here just to catch Shen Yulong, not to kill him." Meng Zongzhu kicked the iron rope on the ground with his toes, and looked sideways at Bai Yu: "They have already obtained "The First Emperor" "Why do you want to arrest Alliance Leader Shen? Could it be that they don't understand this "Book of Legacy of the Late Emperor"?"
Bai Yu trembled at his questioning gaze, and hurriedly avoided those eyes that were as deep as a pool of water: "How do I know! Right now I just want to know where the alliance leader has gone!"
After saying that, he ran two steps quickly and looked around.
Meng Tang looked at Bai Yu's figure and fell into deep thought. He was obviously a few low-class killers and no match for Shen Yulong. How could he be so anxious?
"Sect Master," Yin Feng glanced at Bai Yu and whispered, "Could it be Shen Yulong who took away the young master..."
"How is that possible?" Qin Ganglie said without waiting for Meng Tang to answer: "If Brother Shen wants to take away the young master, there will be many opportunities along the way! Now I have some doubts about whether Brother Shen has encountered some trouble. Just now we When he was ambushed, although Brother Shen was holding the young master, he was not without a chance to make a move. If he made a move, how could these people be his opponents?"
After saying that, he looked at Meng Linxiao unnaturally: "Sect Master, why do you keep looking at me?"
The latter shook his head: "I was thinking that although Miss Qin is not very smart, she sees people very carefully."
Qin Ganglie's face turned red and he smiled implicitly: "Thank you, Master, for the compliment."
Yinfeng and Songyue looked at each other silently again: Is this really a compliment?
"Find someone first," Meng Tang said, "Don't miss any details!"
"yes!"
Several people spread out and looked for people along the marks around the carriage. The sun was bright now and the fog was completely gone in the forest. They could see everything clearly, but they could not see the figures of Shen Yulong and Meng Chenan.
Bai Yu felt anxious and worried. He put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly but got no response. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Sect Master! There are a lot of footprints here!" Qin Ganglie called people on a trail: "Come here quickly!"
When everyone arrived, they saw that the forest path was messy and had dozens of pairs of footprints crisscrossing it because the soil was soft due to rain the past two days.
Meng Tang only felt the veins on his forehead twitching slightly, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Look, Master, the little girl not only looks at people carefully, but also looks at everything very carefully!" Qin Ganglie said with a smile: "If you are looking for anything in the future, just leave it to the little girl, and I will definitely find it for you!"
Meng Tang did not respond to her, and only said to his subordinates: "Keep looking along the footprints!"
"Yes!" Yin Feng Song Yue responded and followed the footprints straight into the mountain forest.
Bai Yu also wanted to follow, but his shoulder was held down by Meng Linxiao. He wanted to break free, but the palm was as heavy as iron stone.
"Sect Master Meng?" Bai Yu gritted his teeth and looked at him, forcing out a dry smile: "What do you want to do for me?"
"This is what I should ask you."
"Me? Of course I want to find the leader as soon as possible! Isn't the leader worried about his son at all?"
"I'm worried about my son because he's just a child, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to worry about Leader Shen, right?"
"What the sect master said, wouldn't Yin Feng Song Yue be worried if you and the little bun got lost at this moment? Not to mention Yin Feng Song Yue, I'm afraid Miss Qin will be worried about you so much that she can't eat or sleep. No, Miss Qin?"
After saying that, he smiled at Qin Ganglie, who nodded shyly: "Yes...it is true..."
"What's wrong with Shen Yulong?" Meng Tang stopped talking in circles with him and asked directly: "We just encountered danger in the mist, why didn't he take action?"
"Why did the leader take action?" Bai Yu asked in surprise: "No one knows who those men in black are coming for. If they are coming for you, Master Meng, if they are among these people
And your uncle and brother, what if the leader accidentally hurts someone again?"
"quibble!"
"Why should I quibble!" Bai Yu angrily tried to break away again, but he didn't know what was going on with his skill, but he couldn't break free.
Meng Tang still looked at him, as if waiting for an explanation, but Bai Yu's face dropped, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Sect Master Meng, if you don't let go..."
"Sect Master!" Yin Feng and Song Yue returned from the same route: "Sect Master, we just met a woodcutter and learned that there is a group of bandits in this mountain! They often block the road and rob, and the merchants passing by are also suffering terribly. Still. It is said that this group of bandits will not even spare the old, weak, women and children, and if they see children, they will directly kidnap them into the village and raise them as little bandits!"
"Pfft!" Qin Ganglie couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "What do you mean? You don't want to say that Brother Shen and the young master were kidnapped by that group of bandits, right? Don't be ridiculous, even if Brother Shen won't take action easily, he will anyway. Leader of the Wulin Alliance! How could he be kidnapped by a group of bandits? What a joke!"
After saying this, she covered her mouth and laughed very reservedly. It wasn't until the surroundings were quiet that she realized the serious look of everyone looking over her.
"No, that's not true...Brother Shen, was it really abducted by bandits?"
Bai Yu took advantage of Meng Tang's unpreparedness and quickly escaped from his hands. He grabbed Yin Feng and said, "Quick! Where are those bandits! Take me there!"
Yinfeng was a little unsure: "I didn't say that Alliance Leader Shen was killed by bandits..."
"Whether it's true or not, this is still a clue, Sect Leader Meng, don't you think so?"
Bai Yu looked at Meng Tang eagerly, and when he saw that his face was cold and silent, he became even more anxious: "Sect Master Meng! I don't believe you are not worried at all when your son is lost! Even though he was lost with my family leader, But believe me, if the alliance leader encounters any trouble, your son will not be in trouble!"
"Where are the bandits?" Meng Tang asked coldly: "Are these footprints really those of the bandits?"
"My subordinates are not sure," Yinfeng said, "but the woodcutter also said that because that group of bandits often did unjust things, the Shaoyang faction encircled and suppressed them many times, and their hiding places were changed again and again. Now no one can I don’t know where they are in the village.”
Bai Yu stamped his feet angrily: "Alliance leader, alliance leader! My subordinates have long told you that these rivers and lakes are dangerous! Dangerous! Very dangerous! Who would have thought that you would rarely meet an opponent in the rivers and lakes, and would eventually be kidnapped by a group of bandits!
"
Meng Tang frowned and looked at him impatiently: "How can you be so sure that your leader was kidnapped by bandits?"
Bai Yu felt guilty: "I... I guess, the alliance leader cannot possibly think that these bandits are cute, so he wants to visit their village, right?"
