Chapter Ninety-One: The Road to Taoyuan Village
In the afternoon sky, the sky is cloudless, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and under the red sun, the bare mountains and rocks reflect a dazzling brilliance, and even the mountain roads are sprinkled with fantastic light.
Yan Xue took the lead, took Qu Lan and Zhu Li, and after leaving Fang Town, she walked towards the main road of the mountain road for half an hour, and then turned to a hidden path, this path was rugged and tortuous, and the brown rocks were piled up everywhere, barely enough for one person to pass, and the road close to the main road was still passable.
After walking around the trail for about two quarters of an hour, I entered a very dangerous path, the inner side of the road leaned against the rock wall, and the outer side was a cliff about hundreds of meters high, and below the cliff was a rough black wave.
Yan Xue cautiously walked along the inside of the trail, as the leader of the group, she shouldered the responsibility of exploring the way ahead, Qu Lan walked step by step with her nervous support for the rock wall, her delicate and lovely pretty face, frowned from time to time, seemed to be disgusted with this environment, but she had to take steps forward to keep up with Senior Sister Yan Xue. Zhu Li walked at the back, he didn't have any fear, he just saw that Senior Sister Qu Lan couldn't walk steadily, worried that she would make any mistakes, and he could protect her at any time.
Although they have all reached the realm of the Four Warp Wheels, but before the problem of Abbot Mountain is discovered, flying in the air at will is bound to be easy to be discovered, if there are really demon beasts in the Abbot Mountain, then they may also die because of this, so do not fly in the air at will until the last resort.
At the moment, they could only walk slowly on the steep path, the sea breeze blew violently on their faces, carrying the fishy smell of the waves, rushing into their noses, it smelled very bad, Qu Lan was about to vomit, but had to hold back. The sound of the waves crashing against the rock face became louder and louder, and they needed to be careful with each step, more than several times slower than they usually walked.
Fortunately, they were not trapped by this rugged path, and it took nearly an hour to finally walk this way, and the road ahead was much wider, and they could see a quiet road, sandwiched between two steep rock walls, which could probably accommodate three people to pass side by side.
On Yan Xue's cold face, there were beads of sweat condensed on her forehead, it was not easy for her to finish this journey, and the pressure on those who were exploring the road ahead was always huge. Qu Lan sat directly on the rock next to him, panting heavily, his legs and feet were shaking, probably because he was too nervous, and his whole body was tense for too long. Only Zhu Li was fine, this kind of cliffside path didn't feel anything to him at all, he stood quietly aside, observing his surroundings, some people were naturally immune to it.
Qu Lan looked up at Zhu Li, with anger on his face, and shouted: "Senior Brother Zhu, why are you acting like it's nothing, it's so annoying!"
Zhu Li's face turned red, and he replied with a little embarrassment: "Senior Sister Qu, don't be angry, I just like the peak since I was a child, and I often travel to the mountains, so I have a lot of affection for this kind of cliffside path." ”
Qu Lan was speechless after hearing this, shook his head, and snorted: "You are such a freak!
Yan Xue turned around and shouted coldly: "I'm on a mission now, don't chat, it's just a cliff that is tired like this, there is still a lot of way to go, cheer up!"
"According to the route of the map, there should be half an hour ahead to reach Taoyuan Village, let's rest for a quarter of an hour before we set off!"
"Senior Brother Zhuli, if you are in good condition and your body has no effect, you can go ahead to explore the way, and probably see if there is such a big road ahead!"
Zhu Li arched his hand and replied: "Senior Sister Yan, my body is fine, go ahead now to explore the way, and I will be back in a moment!", as soon as he finished speaking, he walked quickly forward, and his sturdy back gave people a sense of solid security.
Yan Xue looked at Qu Lan, who was still gasping for breath, walked over and gently hugged her shoulder, and said, "Senior Sister Qu, try to relax, as long as your heart is completely calm, this sense of fear will disappear completely!"
Qu Lan gradually calmed down, it seemed that Yan Xue's words had an effect, she finally calmed down, the fear that was pressing on her heart gradually dissipated, and even her breathing was smooth.
Qu Lan turned her head, looked at Yan Xue with a sweet smile, and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Yan! ”
Yan Xue and Qu Lan have grown up in the mountain hall since they were children, although their personalities are completely different, but they have a good relationship, almost like sisters, the strength of the two is actually almost the same, almost between the two of them, Yan Xue is in the realm of the life eyebrow chakra of the four warp wheels, and Qu Lan is in the realm of the martyrdom chakra of the four warp wheels, but Yan Xue is two years older than Qu Lan.
In fact, taking this road is more of a test of the state of mind, with their strength, as long as the state of mind is calm, calmly faced, and the whole body is fully operational, it is completely possible to walk on the ground, but the state of mind is precisely the core issue of every young disciple.
Yan Xue was helping Qu Lan to stand up, and Zhuli in front of her was already trotting towards them, and her anxious appearance couldn't tell whether it was good news or bad news.
Zhu Li ran to them and stopped, and said: "Senior Sister Yan, I have already explored clearly, you can see that Taoyuan Village not far ahead, it is estimated that after walking for half an hour, you will definitely be able to get there, as long as you walk a few laps down the mountain road, you can reach Taoyuan Village." ”
Yan Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, if there is such a dangerous road ahead, it will be troublesome, it seems that this Taoyuan Village is relatively hidden, and it is estimated that ordinary people will not be able to enter such a route.
Yan Xue opened her mouth and asked, "Senior Sister Qu, how are you?" If there is no problem, then we will set off now, and it is estimated that in another hour, it will be dark." ”
Qu Lan shook her head and replied, "Senior Sister Yan, I'm fine, let's hurry up and try to rush to Taoyuan Village before dark." ”
At this time, Zhu Li led the way in front alone, Qu Lan walked in the middle, Yan Xue walked in the back, walked up the mountain road for a while, and came to a downhill road, the road conditions here are a little worse than before, but it can also accommodate two people side by side, but there are some small gravel blocks on the road, which seems to have been cleaned up for a long time and naturally fell off from the mountain wall.
The red sun had gradually set in the west, and the black in the sky was getting more and more intense, and there was only a little red light of the setting sun shining on the winding mountain road.
After walking downhill, you come to a detour, and when you walk to the detour, you can see Taoyuan Village below, along the zigzag detour, go around a few big circles to the foot of the mountain, and when you reach the foot of the mountain, you are very close to Taoyuan Village.
At the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of wooden houses, surrounded on all sides by mountain peaks, and the village, which is completely surrounded by rock walls, stands out, and as the night slowly falls, it seems that a cloud of mist is gathering above the village.
