Chapter 12: A fork in the road
The woman in the bright red wedding dress cried delicately and softly, Fang Junyao recalled the thrill just now, pursed her lips and didn't speak, she raised her face and glanced at Lu Yanzhi beside her, she didn't want to help someone who wanted to harm herself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lu Yanzhi said: "I have something important to do, I'm afraid I won't have time to help you wash away your grievances." ”
When the woman heard this, she immediately sobbed aggrievedly again, Lu Yanzhi took Fang Junyao's hand, bypassed her and continued to move forward, if they delay any longer, they will miss the Xuanqing Gate if they can't reach Ziyang Peak tomorrow morning.
Ersheng sat on Fang Junyao's shoulder, there was no objection, the two of them left here quickly, Lu Yanzhi paid attention to the movement behind him while walking, for fear that the woman would have something to do, Fang Junyao was pulled by him, glanced back, and only saw that under the moonlight, the woman's slender body stood under the tree, motionless, looking at this side.
After being frightened just now, Fang Junyao's original drowsiness had already run away from the clouds, but Lu Yan was as his name suggested, and there were so few words, so she had to chat with Er Sheng.
"Ersheng, what the hell was that just now?"
Ersheng lay on her shoulder socket, boredly pulling her hair and playing, "Hmm...... It's a ghost. ”
Fang Junyao sighed, "Then since she has grievances, why don't you go to the person who killed her?" It's still hanging under this tree, and it's weird and scary. ”
"What do you know," Ersheng said, "she is too obsessed, she has already become an earthbound spirit, she has no way to get out of here, she can only be trapped in the place of death for the rest of her life, otherwise why would she ask you to be a substitute for the dead, no one is a substitute for the dead, she can't even be reincarnated, let alone go to the enemy to take revenge." ”
It's so pitiful...... Fang Junyao was a little sympathetic to her, and asked again, "Why did she find a wedding dress to wear?" ”
Er Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sneered: "Hey, you don't even know this? ”
"Huh?" Fang Junyao was confused, she had been cultivating immortals or literacy since she was sensible, and literacy was also to see the heart clearly, and there were no ghosts and gods on the heart formula, how could she know.
Lu Yanzhi had been listening to the conversation between the two in silence, and then said softly: "Her current appearance is what she was before she died, although ghosts can confuse people's hearts or create obstacles, but after being recognized, they will show their original form, and they will not be able to disguise themselves at all." ”
"Oh......" Fang Junyao frowned, a woman died in the wilderness in a wedding dress, and she was even too obsessed to devote herself to reincarnation...... It's so pitiful.
But she hardened her heart and didn't sympathize with the female ghost, if she hadn't had some ability, she would have been the unjust ghost who stayed under the tree every night from now on, and she wouldn't be so kind!
She angrily vented all the negative emotions of these days on this female ghost, and then stopped thinking about her, it was useless to think about it, a second-level qi practice, even if she wanted to help, she couldn't help.
Maybe it was because she was scared like this, and when she heard the howl of the beast on the road later, Fang Junyao was not afraid, what were she afraid of, she had even seen such a terrible female ghost!
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any other strange things along the way, and after walking all night, when the sky was about to break, they finally stood at the foot of Ziyang Peak.
Fang Junyao looked up along the bluestone-paved stairs, the road winded upward, straight into the clouds, she took a breath, this road with no end in sight was actually going to walk up?
"Let's rest here for a while, eat something to recuperate, and then climb the mountain." Lu Yanzhi handed her a steamed bun, she subconsciously caught it, and found that the steamed bun was hot, soft and delicious, she took her burden again, thought about the dry food in the bag, thanked her, and took a bite of the steamed bun.
She opened her burden with the steamed bun in her mouth, took out the water bladder and handed it to Lu Yanzhi, took another big bite of the steamed bun, and said with a smile: "My dry food is not very delicious, so I have to entertain you to drink some water." ”
Lu Yanzhi took a sip and found that she had added some honey to the water, which was slightly sweet and thirst-quenching, he smiled and took another big sip.
The two watched the east gradually light up, hurriedly finished eating, and immediately climbed the bluestone staircase.
As soon as they landed, the two of them immediately noticed that something was wrong, looked at each other, and even Lu Yanzhi, who had been showing calm on the road, smiled bitterly, looked up and looked up at the staircase that meandered deep into the clouds, it turned out that this staircase didn't know what spell was used, and people couldn't operate the aura on it.
In other words, going up this ladder is all about physical strength, there is not much difference between the fourth layer of his qi training and the second layer of Fang Junyao's qi training, it all depends on whether he has exercised well on weekdays.
"Uh...... Come on," because Lu Yan said very little, Fang Junyao had no choice but to encourage him dryly, bury his head and start walking seriously.
Because he couldn't run the aura, and Er Sheng couldn't appear, Fang Junyao became more and more bored, thinking about why the little female ghost he met on the road died there in his wedding dress, and secretly thought that when he was better, he would go and see if he could help her.
But soon she couldn't think nonsense, after all, she was still a seven-year-old girl, she was tired of staying up late and hurrying, and now she was climbing the mountain like this, she was gradually tired and sweating, Fang Junyao stood and took a breath, raised her eyes to look forward but didn't see Lu Yanzhi, she glanced back, but found that Lu Yanzhi was walking slowly one step behind her, looking very relaxed.
Lu ...... Big brother," she stumbled in her mouth, thinking to herself that this sixty-year-old person, it's okay to call the eldest brother, right?
"How?" Lu Yanzhi looked up.
"Why are you walking so slowly?" The sky gradually lit up, Fang Junyao could see his face, and found that he was even breathing very steadily, but he was just following behind him, not in a hurry at all.
Lu Yanzhi smiled slightly, "I think this road is very long, I think walking slowly can save physical strength, if you walk fast now, you won't be able to walk for a while, but the gain outweighs the loss." ”
Fang Junyao suddenly nodded with a sudden realization, yes, run fast now, it's not like it will slow down if you are too tired to walk for a while, it's better to just walk slowly, resting while walking.
So she also paid attention to her speed, kept it at a steady level, and sometimes if she was too anxious, she would stop and take a deep breath to adjust her mood.
Unconsciously, the two of them walked among the clouds and mist, the fog in the mountains was cold, and the face was moist, Fang Junyao wiped his face, looked back at Lu Yanzhi again, but found that he disappeared without a trace at some point.
She looked ahead again, and the road ahead was vaguely unclear.
Because she walked calmly for so long, she was not in a hurry, the two of them were already within the range of Xuanqing Gate, and there would definitely be no danger, so now that the fog separates the two, maybe it is some kind of test, right? She thought.
She glanced down at the road under her feet, fortunately she could still see the road clearly, Fang Junyao was about to continue walking, but was surprised to find that there was more than one road under her feet, but started from her feet and extended in three directions.
She was stunned, she only saw this mountain road straight into the clouds at the bottom of the mountain, but she didn't expect that the road in the clouds actually forked, how to go now?
