Chapter 59

When I got out of the carriage, I put an extra cloak on my body, and the wide hat of the coat covered my head, obstructing the view from both sides, and also avoiding the extremely strong presence of the soldiers from both sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The snow has been falling one after another, sometimes large and sometimes small. The plum blossoms blooming on the hillside are a bright red, and there is not much grass in the forest, except for a large area of unmelted snow, which contrasts sharply with the color of the flowers, and is particularly beautiful.

From a distance, there is not a single footprint on the snow, and it is spread out smoothly, and it looks soft and beautiful. But when I really got to the ground, my boots stepped on the snow, and the ground sank a little bit, and a footprint collapsed, which was harder than I imagined. Stretched out his hand to bow, but poked three hard fingerprints on the snow, grabbed it, and pulled out a large piece.

I pinched a snowball and shook it in front of His Majesty, and before I could say a word to His Highness, he turned sideways, let the surrounding soldiers retreat, and said to me lightly: "There is a passage ahead that I can't pass." ”

Can't get by? "Is it an avalanche?"

"The soldiers who went to explore the road said that it was a ghost hitting the wall." His Majesty motioned for me to follow, with an indifferent expression, and he didn't say much*, contrary to the excitement I had when I saw him, "I can see the wide road, but I can't get through." ”

When it comes to the march, I naturally won't talk nonsense, and I will follow His Majesty closely.

The accident was a little farther away than I had expected, and the two of them moved away from the place where the army was stationed, and made their way along the snow-covered mountain road into Merlin.

I picked a plum blossom and twisted it in the palm of my hand to look at it, and suddenly I was thinking, I didn't notice anything wrong when I was so close, wasn't it that the soldier was blinded by the flower forest, and he mistakenly thought it was a ghost hitting the wall?

Looking around, the troops stationed there had been stopped by the mountain, and the plum trees and snowy ridges around them were all exactly the same, and there were few obvious things to identify the direction.

The light of his eyes flickered, falling on the figure of His Majesty in front of him, and before he could express his pleasing eyes, there was a sound of rustling snow, and the man's voice was sonorous and powerful: "Your Highness." ”

But all the soldiers who wore armor were born with extra majesty in my eyes, and their bearing and eyes were slightly different from those of the palace guards, so that I unconsciously leaned behind His Majesty.

His Majesty glanced at me, but did not push me out, but said to the soldier, "Repeat what happened before." ”

The man should have taken two steps forward, described the passage of reaching here and being blocked, and at the end, pointed to the plum tree in front of him: "This is here, it is like a wall, and it is impossible to pass." ”

I glanced at the plum tree, but I couldn't see anything.

When the soldier saw me coming forward, he hurriedly stopped me: "Three of us came out to explore the way, and after we walked to this Merlin, the two of them disappeared without saying a word, only I encountered this ghost hitting the wall and was confined in place, so it is better for the Heavenly Master to be careful." ”

Don't blame him for calling me Heavenly Master, and at the same time afraid that I will drag my feet. People know that I am the sister of His Royal Highness, and I worshipped Ji Yunqing as a teacher, just like I worshipped other masters to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is, to cultivate sentiment.

I said yes and didn't move. At the end, throw the snowball in your hand at will.

The condensed snowball disappeared silently after passing over the plum blossom, so fast that it seemed to be distracted and dazzled in the blink of an eye.

But the snow on the other side of the field was still as smooth as new, and no snowballs had fallen on it.

Two moments later, there was a very slight "pop" in the air, as if something had been punctured, and a slight gust of wind vibrated out. The viscous blood then came up from the bottom of the snow, and there seemed to be an endless spring buried under the snow, and from time to time it stained the snow under the plum trees, and gradually gathered into a stream, flowing down the mountain.

"Blood!" The soldier's pupils shrank, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he wanted to come over to protect His Majesty.

I took His Majesty's hand one step ahead of him, "It's okay, it's just a formation." "And to Your Majesty," Your Highness watch your steps and don't get touched by blood. ”

This time, the soldier no longer doubted my conclusion, and then took two steps back, shocked, "How can there be such an evil thing here?" ”

"It wasn't originally used to harm people, but I guess there are some variables." I don't dare to jump to conclusions.

In front of others, His Majesty didn't ask too obviously, "How big is this array?" Can you get around it? ”

"I can't tell." I broke a plum branch and poked it in the bloody snow. The freshly tender branches that had just been broken off instantly seemed to be drained of water and became dry and hard. "This is the technique of the arrangement of the large array, and it does not give people a real connection. It's like a point in a "painting", the frame can't be seen from this, the whole "picture" may be a city, maybe a mountain, we just hit one of the points, touch its edge. ”

The soldier was silent, and I took His Majesty two steps away, and whispered in his ear: "This is not very good, there may be a ghost market, and it is not an ordinary ghost market, there may be no one in the city anymore." "The ghost market is extremely yin, in order to avoid conflict with mortal yang, there is often a large barrier around the ghost market, so that mortals cannot break into a certain area, which is commonly known as ghost hitting the wall.

A normal ghost market is like this, but now there is blood in the array, and it has turned into a fierce array, and the environment inside must have changed.

Cloud City is just a small city, located in the middle of nowhere, with few people circulating. When mentioned to outsiders, it is more like a paradise, self-sufficient. Correspondingly, if something happens, the news will not be delivered quickly.

It stands to reason that the army will not pass through here, but during the Longdong season, the river surface where the boat could have been crossed has formed ice floe, and it is not safe to sail here. The point is that in His Majesty's previous life, the day when he received the order to march would be a little later, and the ice floe on the river would melt, and it would no longer affect the boat.

The itinerary changed, and I encountered an unusual ghost market, and I was faintly unstable in my heart: "Or go around a little farther and withdraw from the mountains, but there is still a way?" ”

"If you go farther, you have to go down the mountain again, and the journey will be a day and a half late."

The snow march is already difficult, if it takes an extra day and a half...... I clenched my fingers: "Then why don't I go inside?" ”

"Yes."

...... "I didn't expect him to agree so simply, even if it was for the sake of the overall situation, he would symbolically persuade me, so as to show that he didn't throw me too easily!"

His Majesty gestured to the soldier who was far away, and told him to go back first.

"Are you afraid?"

I was in a bit of a mood and said, "It's okay......"

He grabbed me and took his hand, and gently pulled me in Merlin's direction: "Then let's go." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed him with both hands, "Brother, you can't go!" ”

I dragged him with both hands, but he still didn't move, "I have something I need to tell you." ”

"What?"

"If you think about it carefully, since we were reborn, the development of everything has probably come according to the situation of the previous life, but there are also changes, such as your early arrival in Shangjing and a series of events after that, why did this change arise?"

I was silent, "Naturally, we made a different choice than in our previous life. ”

"Then the imperial order was issued in advance, and the canal has not yet thawed, so the march detoured, what is the cause of this change?" His Majesty said lightly, "Maybe it was our previous actions that disrupted the subsequent process, making the actual development slightly deviate from the previous life. Or perhaps, this variable has nothing to do with you and me. ”

“……”

"If there is one, there are two, and there are three, and it does not necessarily mean that we are special beings."

Since I encountered the frozen river, I have also guessed this, but I don't want to think about the bad side, which ruins the mood of going out. But the situation has become what it is now, and I have to be more realistic, so I took the initiative to enter the formation earlier: "If there is really someone else who is reborn, the change he caused will do us all kinds of harm and no benefit, and it is very likely that he is the opposite person, and even this is a trap." He shook his head again and again, "Then brother, you can't go." ”

It's even more inappropriate to let other people go, no one in the army practices ghost cultivation, and entering the formation is no different from giving away people's heads.

His Majesty basked slightly, "It's a trap, and it's coming at me." Even if you enter the formation alone, I can't call it safe. "In the entire situation of this life and previous life, the only thing that has value to change is the location of His Majesty, and the ultimate ownership of the throne can be said to be the focus of the dispute in the Three Realms. If you are a reborn, you may not know me, but you will never know Your Majesty.

This is also true, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it. The best way to do this is to pull him out of the shadows.

His Majesty saw that my expression was slightly relaxed, and his actions were earlier than everything, so he didn't allow me to think about it anymore, so he walked straight inside with me, "You don't want to learn to be alone, and cover Ji Yunqing in the back, this time try my hand first." Moved his eyes slightly, his eyebrows were smiling, I don't know how serious he was, a little teasing, "Lord Gu Yu, will you take care of me?" ”

My face was hot, and I couldn't think of anything else, and my desire to protect was unprecedentedly inflated. Straightening his back, he was categorical, "Of course. ”

……

Within the formation, even the air became much more humid, mixed with some kind of violent and bloody negative emotions. I can refine those impurities through the mantra, but His Majesty looks at it and is not affected by it at all, and he is calm all the way.

I paid close attention to him for a long time, and found that he really did not restrain his forbearance before he settled down, and after thinking about the whole thing, I felt that there were a few things that seemed to make no sense: "But brother, during the days you entered the palace, there was no obvious obstruction from anyone. Although this time the timing is just the right time to inflict a heavy blow on my brother, it is not uncommon to have a better time than this, long before my brother goes to Beijing, others will have countless opportunities to assassinate. Could it be that he was bought off halfway? ”
