Chapter 339: Desolate

This small gate seems to be rarely passed, and the heavy and tall iron gate is a little rusty. There are about 100 soldiers guarding www.biquge.info the city, some standing on the top of the city and watching, some holding spears, standing straight inside the city gate, looking at the five men and three women speeding on the narrow official road.

When they got closer, the soldiers recognized Zhuo Weixin and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The general defending the city led by him knelt on one knee, his voice was loud, and he said respectfully: "The last general will participate in General Zhuo!"

Zhuo Weixin nodded and said lightly: "General Wu has worked hard! ”

"Yes, General Zhuo!" General Wu quickly got up, turned around and shouted to the soldiers at the door, "Open the door!"

The large iron gate was quickly opened by four soldiers, making a "crunch" sound. The door opening is not large, only allowing two horses to ride in parallel.

Outside the city gates, the road outside the city became narrower, with high mountains on both sides and a small path in the middle, winding and rugged.

The speed of the horses slowed down, and Lin Wan felt that the air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant. But the cold wind blew his eyes painfully, but he didn't feel cold on his body, and secretly said that this silkworm phoenix feather is really a baby.

It was almost time before they came to the Fengli River. The river was rapid, with small patches of crushed ice and snow.

Several people turned over and dismounted, standing by the Fengli River, the surroundings were quiet, the ground was snow-capped, barren and inhabited.

The river is not wide, and you can see the big snowy mountains on the opposite side towering into the clouds. At the bottom of the mountain, you can also see a few green plants and bare rocks, and further up, you can only see a white patch.

Lin Wan felt the snow light dazzling, and quickly closed his eyes. He took out a black silk handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his eyes with a layer so that he could see the road in front of him, but he would not be stabbed by the snow.

Then he handed Qingtong and Fengwu a black silk handkerchief, and asked them to be blindfolded like themselves.

Qingtong and Fengwu took the silk handkerchief and covered their eyes with a thin layer like Lin Wan.

Zhuo Weixin turned his head to look at the three women, and asked lightly: "This is the closest place to the other side, only two or three zhang away, can you get by?"

Feng Wu looked at Qingtong and saw that Qingtong nodded, so he replied coldly, "Yes." ”

Zhuo Weixin looked at Feng Wu with interest and smiled, stopped talking, stretched out his arms and jumped, and in an instant, he had already reached the other side.

Feng Wu did not show weakness, grabbed Lin Wan's waist, jumped lightly, like a fairy descending to earth, and landed gently in a graceful posture, standing on Zhuo Weixin's side.

Then, Qingtong also flew over with light skills, and then the four sergeants, all of whom were outstanding in light skills, and landed silently.

Although it was only a river away, Lin Wan obviously felt that the mountain here was much colder than on the other side. Although she had a thick cotton jacket and silkworm phoenix feathers on her body, she still felt the cold of her bones.

In front of me, except for snow-capped mountains and snow-capped mountains, there is no road and no direction. Lin Wan looked up and could vaguely see that some plants began to grow on the mountainside, mainly some hardy pines and cypresses and low shrubs.

Lin Wan turned his head to look at Zhuo Weixin, frowned and asked, "General Zhuo, this place is so big, how can we find it?"

Zhuo Weixin's leather boots sank deep into the snow, slowly raised his feet and walked up, and said without looking back: "Come with me, I only came here some time ago." Only the mountainside has plants growing there, so let's go there and have a look. ”

Qingtong helped Lin Wan, slowly followed Zhuo Weixin, and walked towards the mountain. Feng Wu followed behind them, paying attention to the terrain and movement around them.

It stands to reason that Miao Feihong and the others should have arrived, and there are more than 100 of them, even if they are not in the same place, they should be hearing some noises, but why is it so quiet here? Except for the footsteps of himself and others stepping on the snow, there is no sound.

After walking for more than an hour, I finally came to the pine forest I had seen before, the trees were not very tall, sparse, and the branches were pressed low by the thick snow.

There are a few low shrubs growing under the trees, and some small plants that are unknown and strong. The thousand-year-old snow lingzhi is just a legendary medicinal material, what it looks like, Lin Wan is not very clear, her eyes are just searching for the traces of people walking and the marks left by Miao Feihong.

"Miss Amu, what does the thousand-year-old snow lingzhi look like? You name it, let's find it, and we can have a goal. Zhuo Weixin turned his head, frowned at Lin Wan, and asked in a low voice.

Lin Wan recalled the pictures he had seen in medical books, thought for a while, and replied: "I haven't seen the thousand-year-old snow lingzhi, but the leaves of ordinary snow lingzhi are needle-like and linear, and the edges are involuted. ”

Zhuo Weixin listened to Lin Wan's words, did not have any doubts, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's disperse, first look for this piece well, and then go west together after looking for it, and continue to look for it in another place." ”

"Yes, General!" the four sergeants bowed to the order, each quickly seeking in one direction. With his head down, he carefully looked at the leaves of various plants under his feet, and from time to time he bent down to sweep the snow off the leaves.

Lin Wan also nodded, and continued to walk higher with Feng Wu and Qingtong.

Zhuo Weixin kept a distance that could be seen at a glance from them, and also walked to the left front. He didn't just look at the ground, like the sergeants, but paid attention to the nearby trees, as well as all kinds of man-made traces.

Lin Wan walked forward slowly, feeling that his feet were getting heavier and heavier, and his mood was getting lower and lower. It's been nearly two hours, and in a little while, the sky will be even darker. However, not only did she not see any footprints, but she also did not find the marks left by Miao Feihong.

Or is it that the place where he went ashore is not here, so there is no trace of anyone coming here?

While thinking wildly, Feng Wu, who had been walking in front, came back, took Lin Wan's hand, and slowly climbed up the mountain, using a voice that only Lin Wan could hear as he walked, and said in a depressed and eager voice: "I found the mark left by Brother Miao in front." ”

Lin Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, and walked forward quickly with her, and sure enough, on a big tree, she saw a piece of pine needles that had been inserted into the stem with internal force.

Looking in the direction of the needle, it was towards the west, the direction where Zhuo Weixin was located.

Zhuo Weixin saw Lin Wan's movement and looked over.

Lin Wan met his gaze, shook his head, and said, "No." After speaking, he took Fengwu's hand and continued to look for the west.

A trace of doubt and disappointment flashed in Zhuo Weixin's eyes, and when he saw Lin Wan taking the initiative to walk towards him, he slowly let go of his suspicions.

Lin Wan walked up to Zhuo Wei and said worriedly: "General Zhuo, it's almost dark, do we still want to continue looking?" )
