Chapter 397: Fireflies in the Distance
"What? The Water Sky Pavilion is actually in the palace? Li Tianqi couldn't believe his ears. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Lu Linlang was also surprised, she didn't expect that this poem, which she had not been able to guess for many years, would be deciphered into a place name in a short period of time, and this place was hidden in the palace.
Lin Yat-sen said: "This can't be wrong, I followed my father into the palace when I was a child, and I heard people talk about the water and sky pavilion in the palace. If there is a place name like Shuitian Pavilion hidden in this poem, then it must be there. ”
Li Tianqi asked, "Yixian, what is that place?" Why is it in the palace? ”
Lin Yixian said: "I don't know this, and I haven't been there, but when I followed my father into the palace to meet the saint, I heard others say that this place is in the palace." Although I was still young at the time, in my impression, the place of Shuitian Pavilion sounded like a fairy, and I felt that it matched the royal momentum, perhaps because of this, I have always kept it in mind, and suddenly said the words "Shuitian Pavilion" from your mouth, I naturally remembered. ”
"No wonder you were able to blurt it out so quickly." Li Tianqi said.
"Hmm." Lin Yixian nodded.
Li Tianqi said: "If this is the case, Master Fan may have guessed this place, but she didn't say it, maybe it was based on other considerations. ”
Li Tianqi thought to himself, from this point of view, could Master Fan leave here in a hurry because he knew the hiding place of the unkempt old man, so he went to look for him?
Lu Linlang said: "Maybe it's because it involves the palace, so she's a little worried." ”
Li Tianqi said: "Hmm. Master Fan is too good-hearted, and if there is no special reason, she should tell us what she knows. I hope she can go back safely. ”
Lin Yixian was a little disappreciative and said: "The monks don't speak. If she has guessed, she should have said it, and if she knows it, I think I will still have to watch out for her in the future. ”
Li Tianqi and Lu Linlang looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Yixian asked, "What?" Don't you believe me? ”
Li Tianqi said: "Okay...... Let's not speculate for now. Now that we've come here, when we're done here, we'll go back to Chang'an to have a look......"
Lin Yixian snorted lightly, walked over to the blanket and sat down to rest.
Li Tianqi said: "It's been some time, I'll go outside to see if I should wake up Brother Shaoyu for the night." ”
He said and walked out.
A cold gust of wind rushed in through the crack in the door that was lifted, and Lin Yixian couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Linlang sighed: "Master Fan is too seriously injured and has just recovered, but he insists on rushing to the night, which is really worrying." ”
Lin Yixian said: "Linlang, you are still so kind." I think that the teacher has been taken care of by you for these days, and she is recovering quickly, so don't worry too much, maybe she really has something to hurry up. ”
While the two of them were talking, Li Tianqi, who had just gone out, hurriedly ran in and said, "They're gone." ”
"What are they?" Lin Yixian asked rhetorically.
Li Tianqi said: "Xu Shaoyu and Eshang. ”
Lu Linlang and Lin Yixian stood up, and Lu Linlang asked, "Haven't they been sleeping in the tent next to them?" ”
"yes. I thought they were still asleep. Unexpectedly, when I wanted to go in to wake up Xu Shaoyu, I found that he was gone, and what was even more strange was that E Shang was not inside. ”
The three of them then walked into their tent, and sure enough, there were only candles lit inside, and there was no sign of the two of them.
Li Tianqi said: "I lit the candle. It was pitch black when I came in, and when I touched the candles, it was cold, and it was clear that they had left without lighting them. And it doesn't look like an internal emergency, I've been waiting here for a while, and I realized that something was wrong, so I informed you. ”
Lin Yixian said: "Xu Shaoyu is experienced, and he shouldn't move around casually, unless there is something that he pays special attention to." Eshang is a Maoshan Taoist priest and a person with skills, so he won't just leave quietly. ”
"Hmm. I also think so, there is no special trace here, the water and dry food are there, if they were taken away, then why did they leave us? "I think they probably just went to some nearby places, so they didn't bring water and dry food." ”
Lin Yixian asked, "Did Xu Shaoyu say how far it is from Loulan here?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "I haven't heard him talk about it, but looking at his expression, it doesn't seem to be here." Besides......"
"And what?"
"Besides, he needs our help too, or he might have already gone this way." This is Li Tianqi's speculation about the purpose of Xu Shaoyu's trip, although he is not sure, but Xu Shaoyu's recent performance is very different from the past, and he has to have some thoughts about Xu Shaoyu.
Something suddenly occurred to him, "That's right, camel! ”
Before the words fell, Li Tianqi had already run out of the tent, and Lin Yixian and Lu Linlang also followed him, walking towards the stake where the camel was tethered.
There were originally five camels, one of which had been given to Fan Shitai to ride away, and there should be four left, but now there are only two left, it seems that Xu Shaoyu and Eshang are indeed walking together.
Li Tianqi said: "They shouldn't go far. I'm worried if they're in trouble, so Yixian and Linlang, you stay here and I'll look for them. ”
Lu Linlang said: "Brother Apocalypse, now that the night is dark and the wind is high, the sky is boundless, and the field of vision is limited, how can I find them?" Why don't we wait until dawn, and if they don't come back, wouldn't it be better for us to set off again? ”
Lin Yixian also said: "Yes, we are not familiar with the terrain in the area, and it is not easy to find people in the dark. Let's wait until dawn. What if you leave and they come back? Won't that start looking for you again? ”
"You have a point, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Li Tianqi's eyes widened, and he pointed behind them and said, "Look...... There's a fire in that! ”
Lin Yixian and Lu Linlang immediately turned around and looked behind them, and sure enough, there was a bright spot as small as a firefly floating in the wind in the distance.
"Maybe they're lost." Li Tianqi said, went back to the tent and found a torch, lit it immediately, and raised it high to show the way to the people over there.
He shook the torch from side to side, but the other party did not react, and instead extinguished the fire.
The three of them waited in the cold wind for a while, but they still didn't wait for anyone to come.
At this time, the other party's fire was lit again, but it seemed to be farther away.
"What's going on with them? Don't you see? Li Tianqi was a little anxious, and he said, "Yixian, Linlang, you are here." I'm going to pick them up. ”
He pointed to the tent and said, "There are two torches in there, so you can light one and stick it in front of the camp, so that I can identify it." ”
Lu Linlang said softly: "Brother Apocalypse! ”
Lin Yixian said: "You better not go over." I figured if they hadn't noticed the fire, there must have been something strange. In case ......"
Li Tianqi said with a smile: "They are highly skilled, and they are all old rivers and lakes. Besides, Brother Shaoyu led the way all the way, if something really happened, it would be troublesome. It doesn't seem to be a long distance, it's okay, don't worry, I'll go and go back. ”
Lin Yixian and the others saw that he was so persistent, so they had no choice but to give up.
Originally, Lu Linlang wanted to follow Li Tianqi, but he knew that Lin Yixian's martial arts were not high, so he could only give up and watch Li Tianqi leave.
Lin Yixian muttered, "You will be strong." ”
Although the two of them had their own thoughts, after a while, Li Tianqi had already ridden a camel and walked away.
The fireflies kept beating in front of him, guiding Li Tianqi forward.
After walking a hot tea, Li Tianqi couldn't help but look back at the camp, the camp really lit the fire, he could still clearly recognize the direction, he raised the torch in his hand and waved it, signaling to the two people in the camp, and then turned back to look at the firefly, but found that the firefly did not seem to shorten the distance, but was still swaying in front.
This made him feel a little strange, how could he walk for such a while without shortening the distance?
In fact, the vast wilderness always gives the person in it the illusion that it looks like a place that is very close, but in fact it is not as close as it seems.
Fortunately he had come on a camel and was not tired, but judging by the speed of the camel, he had already left the camp two miles away, and when he looked back at the light of the camp again, he found that it had also become small.
Li Tianqi raised his torch and waved it towards the camp to signal safety.
Lin Yixian shuddered and took a breath of heat into his hands, and said, "Linlang, he waved his hand again, it seems that nothing will happen, let's go back inside." It's too cold outside. ”
"It's fine." Lu Linlang walked into the tent and didn't forget to take another look at the direction Li Tianqi was taking.
The terrain became a little downward, Li Tianqi felt as if he was walking a long downward slope, and couldn't help but stare at the firefly in front of him, the firefly became clear, and gradually showed the outline, faintly like a pale cyan lantern.
The camel's feet suddenly slipped, almost not throwing Li Tianqi off, he quickly used a torch to shine on the surrounding environment, and found that it was a steep downward slope, and it was full of gravel and sand, and the distance between two zhang seemed to be a deep ravine. This discovery startled him, and if the camel could not see clearly, he walked a few feet crookedly, and then fell down. He couldn't help but concentrate on riding the camel.
When he had walked the gentle slope and descended to what resembled the valley floor, he found that the fire in the camp behind him was no longer visible, and was replaced by a dark night and a bitter cold wind.
Presumably, this gentle slope obscures the view.
He stopped suddenly, because when he looked back at the firefly, he saw that the firefly that had drawn him to it was also gone......
What's going on?
