307. Kidnapping the Saint

The next night, peace and happiness arrived as expected.

He continued to study the structure of the meteorite, fed Yangyang with silver-gray liquid, and waited patiently, waiting for the eyes in the prism to appear. Unfortunately, the owner of those eyes seemed to be aware of his intentions and did not appear.

Before leaving, Anle gave Hong Yingxue some candied red fruits, candied crabapples and sugared osmanthus bought in Yujing City. He also talked about his past knowledge and experiences.

After being selected as a saint, Hong Yingxue had only a handful of opportunities to leave this tower. Most of her knowledge of the outside world came from the teachings of the priests and the words and pictures in books. She usually had no chance to eat like this.

Novel gadgets.

And Anle's experiences since time traveling are not unexciting, even if you only pick out a small part of them, it is enough to arouse Hong Yingxue's interest.

In the next few days, Anle would bring small gifts such as flowers, pastries, and preserves every day, and would also talk about the bustling scene of Yujing City, which made Hong Yingxue yearn for it. As time went by, the relationship between the two gradually became closer.

Anle's deciphering of prism meteorites is progressing day by day, and he has gradually gained a glimpse of some of its mysteries.

The only pity is that since the first day, whether in reality or in deduction, those dark eyes have never appeared again.

On this day, Hong Yingxue ended her daily boring study and prayer, and sat at the door of the side hall, silently waiting for the arrival of happiness.

Unknowingly, the girl was actually looking forward to the other party's arrival, thinking: "I don't know... what delicious food he will bring today, and what stories he will tell?"

However, it was not until the time for Anle's visit a few days ago that the night gradually deepened and Anle's figure did not appear at the palace gate.

"Will he not come today?"

Hong Yingxue felt lost. She turned around and looked around. The palace in front of her was still gorgeous and familiar. She had lived here for several years and remembered the position of every floor tile in her heart. But for some reason, the palace seemed particularly empty and lonely.

"It's strange. I usually think it's nothing..."

Hong Yingxue couldn't help but think of Anle's face.

To be honest, she had never seen such a strange person as An Le, and no one had ever dared to get along with her with such an attitude. Not to mention, An Le dared to call her girl, give her gifts, and say some strange things.

The arrival of the other party and those wonderful and vivid stories really caused ripples in her unchanging life.

People who are accustomed to loneliness will no longer be able to endure the loneliness they once had if they taste the taste of companionship.

Hong Yingxue just sat in the side hall, wearing white clothes, her pretty face was cold, and her eyebrows were dark and lonely.

Until the sky brightened slightly, at this time, a blood-stained figure appeared in front of the palace.

"Peace!"

Hong Yingxue stood up in surprise, but when she saw An Le's appearance, she couldn't help but panic.

The robe Anle was wearing was almost stained red with blood, and there were still some pieces of flesh and bones. The look on his face was also a little tired, and his breath was slightly sluggish, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

Hong Yingxue quickly walked to his side and asked with concern: "What happened? Are you okay?"

Anle smiled and said easily: "It's not a big deal, it's just a fight with the evil demon in the darkness."

Hong Yingxue's face changed slightly: "Fighting with evil spirits?"

She raised her hand, and the palm of her hand shone brightly: "My magic can heal the injury, but it may hurt a little, so you have to bear with it."

Anle waved his hand and said: "These blood stains are from the devil."

As soon as his magic power swayed, all the blood and stains on his body were shaken away, and then he carefully placed it in a jade bottle.

Seeing this, Hong Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but ask: "How could the evil spirit appear outside Yujing City?"

Hong Yingxue is not deeply involved in the world, but she is not an ordinary girl who knows nothing. As a saint, she can know many dark secrets about the Great Zhou, whether actively or passively.

Yujing City is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and ordinary evil spirits dare not approach this city. If there are evil spirits attacking even near Yujing City, it undoubtedly means that the situation has become quite serious.

Anle explained: "It's just a tentative offensive."

An Le said it was easy, but in fact the situation was very dangerous. To be honest, this was the first time he personally fought against the "evil" in the darkness. It took a lot of energy and he was injured at one point.

However, Anle was not forced to get involved, but he took the initiative to participate.

During the deduction, Anle learned that during these days, the darkness in various parts of the Great Zhou seemed to have become more active. One or two small cities were even engulfed by the darkness, and none of the residents in the city survived.

This is undoubtedly an ominous omen.

The catastrophe in the future is probably getting closer!

In order to explore the secrets in the darkness, Anle must step into it personally, so he went to fight with several original giants when the evil demon tried to attack.

If Anle hadn't greatly increased his strength during this period and had acquired the combat power of a god, he wouldn't have made such a reckless move.

Only monks who transform themselves into gods can have the power to protect themselves in the darkness.

Although the process was somewhat dangerous, Anle also obtained the information he wanted to know.

First of all, the "evil" in the darkness is different from evil spirits and ghosts, but a living creature of flesh and blood!

And they seem to have a certain amount of intelligence and can communicate with each other.

This discovery surprised Anle. If "evil demons" are also intelligent creatures, doesn't it mean that it is possible to communicate with them?

And why did they attack the cities of the Zhou Dynasty and hunt down civilians?

Is it simply hunting, or is it for other reasons?

Another discovery made by Anle is that the "darkness" is actually a kind of substance!

They are like tiny fine sand or light clouds, difficult to detect with the senses, but if you observe carefully with your spiritual sense, you can know the true face of darkness.

When he was in that darkness, Anle had a very strange feeling. The shielding of his senses was secondary. The most important thing was that the space he was in seemed to be in a superimposed state, as if... two worlds were interacting with each other in this dark sand.

Overlap together for media!

Of course, this is just a conjecture now and needs further verification.

Recalling what she had just seen and heard in the darkness, An Le looked thoughtful, while Hong Yingxue was very sensible and did not interrupt.

After a while, Anle suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart and solemnly said to Hong Yingxue: "Miss Hong, I have something to ask for."

Seeing his expression, Hong Yingxue unconsciously became serious and asked, "What is it?"

Anle's eyes were clear and magnanimous: "I would like to ask Miss Hong to accompany me to take a look at this Jade Capital City."

"Looking at Jade Capital City?"

Hong Yingxue was very surprised: "Don't I see enough?"

She tilted her head and looked towards the wall of Chengtian Tower. Through the hazy light, she could overlook the whole of Yujing City.

Before she met An Le, Hong Yingxue liked to look at the Jade Capital City below when she had nothing to do. Moreover, she also went to meet the believers under the Chengtian Pagoda, so she was really not unfamiliar with this Jade Capital City.

An Le chuckled and said, "The person I invited was Hong Yingxue, not the Holy Lady."

Hong Yingxue was stunned. She realized that Anle wanted to put aside her status as a saint and see the scene in Yujing City for herself.

"This, how is this possible?"

Hong Yingxue's past experience made her immediately deny this request, but for some reason, she felt a faint expectation in her heart.

The candied fruits Anle brought these days and the stories she told made Hong Yingxue yearn for freedom without even realizing it.

"Why not?"

Anle grabbed Hong Yingxue's hand, hugged her waist, jumped out of the dome of Chengtian Tower with a slight jump.

Above the head, there was a night sky that had just shimmered a little, it was vast and vast, and there were stars twinkling in the night.

At your feet, you can see the Jade Capital City and Chengtian Pagoda, which are magnificent and gorgeous.

Standing here, it seems like nothing can restrain them.

The night wind made their clothes rustle. Hong Yingxue looked stunned. Before she could recover, she heard An Le say in her ear.

"Hold tight."

The next second, the two began to fall rapidly.

Hong Yingxue's beautiful eyes widened and she couldn't help but hug the people around her tightly.

There was the whistling wind in my ears, but there was a warm, reassuring smell at the tip of my nose.

"I was actually taken out of Chengtian Tower by him."

Surprise, doubt, and the sense of taboo against forbidden laws filled the girl's heart, making her heart beat fast, and then excitement and stimulation surged up.

When he was about to fall to the ground, Anle suddenly stopped and turned into a stream of light and flew to a corner of Yujing City.

Standing on the ground, Hong Yingxue's legs were still a little weak, and she looked at Anle blankly: "How dare you?"

"If Grand Priest knew..."

Kidnapping the saint in Chengtian Tower is such a big crime. It will undoubtedly arouse the anger of countless believers, but Anle really did it!

Anle didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It's better if we don't let him know."

He extended his hand and invited: "You are here, why not accompany me for a walk in the city."

Perhaps this word had some strange magic power, Hong Yingxue held Anle's hand and walked with him.

The sky has not yet brightened, but there are already some pedestrians on the streets of Yujing City. Anle uses magic to cover up his and Hong Yingxue's faces to avoid being recognized.

The Yujing City in the early morning is different from the daytime. It is not so prosperous and lively, but more quiet.
