Chapter 709: Don't Look Back

The thick fog on the surface of the river made Yama Xi very uncomfortable, and he walked south for another two hours, and the sound of wooden oars sliding in the water was still in his ears.

"Don't look back!"

Duan Ling's tone was very different from just now, and there was no joking at all.

This abruptly changed and made Yamaki a little uncomfortable, and he did the same as before, when the other party had just given the forbidden password, he did it.

This time, however......

It was a cyan-glowing, shapeless gas that was sometimes large and sometimes small, and even the smallest could be seen very clearly in the night.

The qi was extremely strange, both the speed of its movement and the direction of its movement made it difficult for Yama Xi to fathom.

Soon, Sanki lost all consciousness.

The two of them were walking through the Misty Forest, and the bushes with teeth and claws stretched in front of them, as if they could never get out.

Duan Ling carried Shan Xi on his shoulders, and held his breath with his eyes as if he were walking on flat ground.

......

Yamaki felt as if he was in a steamer, soaking wet, only his face was hit by a small wind from time to time, but unfortunately, the wind was also hot.

He had never been out of Sanssouci Valley when he was a child, and in the mountains, even in the hottest season, he had to wear a single coat.

"How many suns are in the sky?" he asked, as he hit his head on the ground, got up, and asked.

Normal people have been in a coma all day, and the first thing they do when they wake up must be to ask, "Where is this?" Duan Ling was once again thundered by Shan Xi's three views.

"See for yourself?!" Duan Ling threw away the banana fan in his hand, let out a long breath, and replied.

"Hey, why are you wearing so little?"

The second question still didn't hit the point, Duan Ling was completely speechless, he turned around and went to get water for Shan Xi to drink.

By this time, the sun had set, and the earth, which had been scorched for a day, showed no signs of cooling down.

"I just heard that there are four months of the year in the Southland, and I didn't expect it to be such a hot method. Duan Ling fanned the banana fan while looking at the cracks in the ground and said to Shan Xi.

"Master said: Chang'an is the richest place in the whole continent, but their land is sunburned like this, how can they grow crops......

Duan Ling didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart: "What you care about is really none of your business." ”

"Let's go, it's getting dark. ”

The two hid in the woods outside the north gate of Chang'an City for a whole day, and then returned to the main road.

The tall and majestic tower stood in the night, and the night did not completely obscure its majesty.

The big iron gate made of two whole pieces of black iron was closed at this time, and even on this hot night, the two big iron gates of the north gate did not make people feel the slightest warmth and accommodation, and it turned away Shan Xi and Duan Ling with a blue face.

Entering the city, they have their own way.

At the base of the castle wall, Yamaki quickly untied the papyrus wrapped around the peach stick.

Duan Ling on the city wall anxiously watched Shan Xi's every move, but Shan Xi held the stick motionless, did not follow him, and inserted one end of the long sword into the gap between the wall tiles.

Could it be that the gap is too thin...... Not enough?!

"It's impossible. Duan Ling knew that the peach stick in Shanxi's hand was a good treasure, and it was said that it could be thinner and thicker at will.

"What happened to me last night?" Shan Xi shouted loudly at Duan Ling on the roof of the castle tower.

"Shhhh ”

Duan Ling didn't have any good way to meet this upright and brainless person, so he had to coax in a low voice.

The elasticity of the peach sticks, coupled with the strength and tenacity of the straw paper, made it easy for Yamaki to climb the castle tower.

Standing on the highest tower in Chang'an, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City. Shortly after nightfall, the city of a million people was just coming alive.

The lights illuminated the entire city of Chang'an as if it were daytime, and the streets were full of gorgeously dressed men and women, and the stall owners on the grocery stalls shouted one after another.

"What's that?" asked Sanki, pointing to an elephant.

In a square in the west city of Chang'an, a baby elephant is performing "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers". The soft trunk spewed out a thin jet of water, which spread out a foot above the ground, and the water sprinkled on the people, causing everyone to cheer.

"It's a bit of a sight, but unfortunately I don't know what it is?" Duan Ling seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned to Shan Xi, who was sitting beside him, and then asked:

"Don't you want to know what happened last night?"

Say. ”

"I've said it all, don't look back, you want to watch. ”

"If you don't look back, how can you see?"

"You're good, so I carried you for hundreds of miles. You owe this favor. ”

Sanki had a look of apology on his face, but he didn't say anything.

"If you're not mistaken, the place we passed by last night is what the old man in the town called the Confused Forest. ”

"The Confused Forest is very weird, and even a swordsman who has entered the Xuanmen may not be able to escape the confusion of the forest. However, as long as you keep your head down and go your own way and don't look at it, it won't take you a long time. ”

"You didn't look back, why did you carry me on your back?"

Duan Ling finally heard a useful word.

The two have been together for two days and one night, and his thinking pattern of Sanxi is really ......

"I have dates from the master. ”

"It turned out that everything was arranged. ”

......

Four days ago, Duan Ling received a call from the head of the family and hurried up the mountain and became one of the candidates appointed by the head of the family to go to Chang'an.

For Duan Ling, who had never walked out of Madang Town, when he learned that he was going to Chang'an, for a while, he was happy with a little bit of anxiety.

The night began to get late.

The entire Chang'an City is illuminated by lights, except for the southeast boundary of the city, which is the location of the highest university in Chang'an, the South Academy.

Condescendingly, Duan Ling inadvertently looked at this place.

In the darkness, the dark shadow of Nan Academy seemed to attract him with infinite charm, so much so that he even forgot that there was Yamaki beside him.

"Quack—"

It wasn't until the tiles under his feet made a crisp sound that Duan Ling realized where he was.

"Where are you going?" asked Shanxi as he got up with Duan Ling.

The cold wind blew over them, drying the clothes that were attached to them.

"It's time to go down, and if it's too late, the night market should be closed. ”

......

As soon as he entered the city, Yamaki was full of people asking where the best hot pot restaurant in the city was.

However, where would the nobles of the upper class of Chang'an look at this kind of food without nutrition and pomp.

Finally, Lu met an eldest sister with a dignified appearance but a voice thicker than a man, and pointed it out to them:

"Well, walk along Qinglong Street all the way to the south, and after entering the south of the city, turn right on the second side street. There is a good one in Yong'an Fang, and the boss's surname is Hu. ”

Along Qinglong Street all the way to the south, the signboard of the first store in Yong'an Fang really reads - "Hu Yiguo" three big characters.

There is also a line of small words under the signboard - eat hot pot and come to Hu Yiguo (note: here is hard Guang:)).

Before Duan Ling could understand, Shan Xi had already raised his feet and entered the store.
