Chapter 277 Backyard Tower
Chapter 277 Backyard Tower
Ruan Xihe stopped and looked back in confusion, her whole face wrinkled tightly because the smell of heather was too strong.
Fu Ling took out a mask and put it on her face himself.
It was a mask that only showed the lower half of the face. As the mask was put on, the smell in the air dissipated a lot.
To be more precise, it was the mask that blocked out a lot of that smell for her.
"Okay, let's go."
Fu Ling helped her put on the mask, took his hand back, and looked away indifferently.
Ruan Xihe was just about to ask him why he didn't need a mask, but then he remembered that as cultivators' cultivation level improved, they could block their five senses in the later stages.
She stopped talking again.
The Holy Lady Church was a little too quiet at night.
They didn't meet anyone along the way, and the rooms they came across were all dark, obviously everyone had already fallen asleep.
But as they went to the backyard of the Holy Maiden Church, sounds gradually came.
Moreover, the backyard was brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the front yard and the scene on the road.
The backyard is where the leader and elders of the Holy Maiden Church live.
Above the backyard, there was a light white mist in the air, just like the mist that appeared on the street in the evening when they first arrived in Qingcheng.
More importantly, although there was a mask on his face, Ruan Xihe could feel that the pungent smell in the backyard was getting stronger.
At this moment, the backyard was like a huge heather, constantly emitting a pungent smell that filled the entire Holy Maiden Church.
There was also a hint of bloody smell mixed in with this, which seemed to be emitted from the only tall tower in the backyard.
But just observing the scene in front of me, there is nothing unusual.
Ruan Xihe narrowed his eyes slightly and wanted to take Fu Ling into the backyard to see what truth was hidden in this seemingly warm and peaceful courtyard.
She took a step forward, but Fu Ling behind her did not move, and inertia caused her to stagger.
"Do you really want to go in?" Fu Ling remained silent and finally asked her this question.
Ruan Xihe frowned in confusion, not understanding why Fu Ling asked this.
But before she could answer, two special figures suddenly appeared in her sight.
The man walking in front had a white fur coat draped over his right shoulder and two swords hanging from his waist. He looked stern and noble.
He stood tall and strode towards the backyard of the Holy Lady Church.
The woman following behind him had a pair of cynical peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and was wearing a black dress.
But she bent over and held her chest high, with a sneaky look on her face, which ruined her pretty appearance and made people feel vulgar.
The woman's face was full of vigilance. She looked around, then lowered her voice and shouted in a somewhat frustrated tone to the man who had already walked away.
"Shen Yan, are you planning to walk in so brazenly?"
The man in front twitched his ears slightly, stopped walking and turned to look at the woman.
"otherwise?"
Hearing Shen Yan's confident answer, Gongzi Heng almost couldn't breathe.
He was wearing a black skirt. He moved carefully to Shen Yan's side and said through gritted teeth, "Don't forget, we sneaked out from the front yard."
"If the Saint's Cult finds us, our mission will be incomplete!"
Shen Yan frowned when he heard this, "So?"
"......" Gong Ziheng was really angry at him this time and was speechless. He paused and took a deep breath, "So, can you slow down your pace a little?"
"Those who know know that you sneaked out to check out the anomaly of the Saint Maiden Church. Those who don't know think that the backyard of the Saint Maiden Church is your home, and you are going to go home through the front gate in such a swagger!"
Gongzi Heng put his hands on his hips, feeling extremely miserable.
When an old woman demanded their skins from them in the small village at the foot of the mountain, they realized that the incident might be related to the Holy Maiden Cult.
So later Liu Ruyu sent him and Shen Yan to infiltrate the Holy Maiden Sect to gather information, and the method of infiltration was to disguise themselves as a couple and participate in the Holy Maiden Sect's recruitment of disciples.
But because he lost the previous battle to Shen Yan, he became the one dressed as a woman this time.
But I didn't expect that Shen Yan, who was so stupid, didn't even know how to write the word "stealthily"!
"Ah."
Shen Yan heard this and thought it made sense.
He turned around, and walked in another direction with a righteous look on his face.
"Where are you going?"
Gongzi Heng looked at the direction he left and didn't react for a moment.
Shen Yantou didn't even reply: "Side door."
"......" Gongzi Heng remained silent.
He wanted to take out the steamed bun that was stuffed in his chest and slap Shen Yan's stinky face to death with the steamed bun. What sin had he done in his previous life that he had to complete a mission with Shen Yan?
"I said, your steps are like you're going home through the front door. I didn't say that if you go in through the side door, you're not going home!"
Shen Yan paused.
He looked at Gongzi Heng with a very strange look, then looked away, as if he thought Gongzi Heng had not made himself clear first.
"Ah."
He responded, then jumped onto a wall with sword in hand.
In the night, Shen Yan looked around the scenery in front of him, and finally locked his eyes on the tall tower in the middle of the backyard, "Over there."
After saying that, he quickly glanced at Gongzi Heng again, as if he found his appearance a little bit unpleasant to the eyes.
Gongzi Heng glanced at the tall tower, then looked around. After making sure that the surroundings were safe, he held his chest high and slipped into the backyard very quickly in the night.
At this time, Shen Yan also jumped down from the wall, and the two of them approached the tower one after the other.
Ruan Xihe was standing aside, watching intently.
It was not until the two figures disappeared that she realized that they had also come to the Holy Maiden Church!
Seeing her lost in thought, Fu Ling's aura became slightly heavier.
He frowned and asked, "Know him?"
"Yeah." Ruan Xihe nodded in response, then pulled Fu Ling to follow them, following closely behind them, "Let's go and see."
All her attention was now focused on Gao Ta, Shen Yan and Gong Zi Heng, and she didn't notice the inexplicable change in Fu Ling's expression behind her.
In front of Ruan Xihe, the figures of the two people flashed and kept changing positions.
If you only look at this picture, Shen Yan and Gongzi Heng do have some tacit understanding between them.
The closer we got to the tower, the clearer the smell of blood in the air became.
Gongzi Heng bent over and hid behind a house, while Shen Yan stood upright next to Gongzi Heng with his arms folded, without any sign of hiding.
The two were in a tangle.
It seems that he is struggling with his next move.
