280 Wiccan Barrier
Beyond a mountain peak, the terrain instantly becomes open, and a main peak rises in the middle of the mountains. Lan Junyao turned her face sideways, and when she saw the excited faces of the people beside her, she knew that the destination of this trip had arrived.
The Great Elder opened his mouth and reminded, "Be sure to follow my footsteps, and if something goes wrong and suffers, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." With that, he walked to the side, and the three elders beckoned them to follow quickly.
Lan Junyao and Shuang Xiujing glanced at each other, this place is not simple, far less calm than it seems on the surface, in this small valley, there are actually several formations, one of which is a remnant formation handed down from ancient times. The people of the Wu Clan can use it to protect the land, and they must have broken this formation.
Although she was in a hurry these days, Lan Junyao's face was much better than when she stayed in the inn. She nodded, and took Yun Shu and Shuang Xiujing down the path led by the Great Elder.
There is a huge phantom array in the outer layer of this valley, with several surrounding peaks as the base of the array, such a big gesture is something they have never seen before, and it is not unreasonable for the ancestors of the Wu clan to choose this place of seclusion.
The closer he got to the main peak, the more excited the color on Wu Thirteen's face became, and even his body became lighter. Unlike them, Lan Junyao and the three of them became more and more cautious, Lan Junyao observed the footwork of the Great Elder on one side and the terrain around them on the other. The heart is divided into two purposes, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur.
As soon as she stepped on the wrong foot, she felt that the terrain in front of her instantly became different, but fortunately, her foot did not fully land, and she quickly withdrew the foot she stepped on.
The Great Elder glanced back at her, the meaning of blame was self-evident, but the Sixth Elder, who had been like an invisible person all the way, came to her side silently, beware of her making any more mistakes.
They walked for a while, but the Great Elder stopped, and Lan Junyao looked up, but it was someone from the Wu Clan who found them back and greeted them all the way. He saluted the Great Elder first, and then turned to look at Lan Junyao and his party who were following behind the Third Elder.
When the Great Elder saw him, his complexion improved significantly. When he looked at Lan Junyao, he opened his mouth and smiled at her, the clear reflection of the figure in his eyes, he got closer and asked, "Are you the holy sister?"
Lan Junyao smiled and didn't answer, but the six elders on the side touched the top of his head dotingly, not allowing him to break away, and said, "The patriarch is still a little lax today, if he knows that you have sneaked out again, he can't escape if he wants to beat him." β
"The sixth elder is the worst, he actually teased me in front of the holy sister, this time it was not sneaked out, it was my father who asked me to pick you up. He blushed and tilted his head to the side.
Lan Junyao caught the hint in the words of the six elders, and also understood the identity of this young man, who turned out to be the young patriarch of the Wu clan. Looking at his reckless and naΓ―ve actions, I think he is too well protected in the Wu Clan.
"Sister Saintess, my name is Wu Yinyue. He kept following Lan Junyao all the way, chattering non-stop, Lan Junyao only nodded to him occasionally, and finally couldn't stand his pestering work, so he told him his name.
The moon led them to the foot of a mountain, and from a distance, they saw the dressed Wu clan patriarch leading his people outside the cave. Seeing them approaching, the Wu people behind him saluted Lan Junyao one after another, and said in unison: "Welcome the return of the Holy Maiden." β
The Great Elder took Lan Junyao's place to let them get up, and after a few words, he let the patriarch disperse and take them to rest by the lunar moon.
In the past few days, when she was on the road for several days, and it was nine cold days, Wu Yinyue went to pull Lan Junyao's hand, but was stopped by Shuang Xiujing, who had been staying by her side, but she still took off the brown fur coat on her body and draped it on Lan Junyao.
This is a natural cave with everything in the cave, and there is a five-foot square pool in the cave, and the spring water gushes out at the bottom, revealing the slightest warmth.
Lan Junyao glanced at the furnishings in the cave, all the items looked very ordinary, but they were not simple, just the inconspicuous bed was polished from the warm mirror stone that had been soaked in the hot spring water for many years. There is also a table placed next to the bed, which is actually hollowed out of the whole piece of jade to make tables and chairs.
This kind of handwriting seems a bit too luxurious, but if you don't look closely, you can't see any clues. Wu Yinyue didn't have any idea about all this, just urging her to hurry in.
"Holy sister, this is what the Great Elder prepared before leaving, I heard my father mention that the holy daughters of the Wu clan have lived here. Wu Yinyue obviously liked this cave very much, and he continued: "Turn right out of here, and there will be my house every three caves, and if the Holy Sister has free time, come to my house to have a look." β
After careful questioning, Lan Junyao realized that the highest mountain they saw outside the valley was inhabited. There are people guarding it day and night, and it is an important place for the Wu clan, and even if Yin Yue usually wants to go in and have a look, he has to get the approval of the great elder.
Most of the questions asked by Lan Junyao about Wu Yinyue can be answered, but it involves some core questions of the Wu Clan, but even he doesn't know. He was very affectionate to Lan Junyao and sat beside her.
Shuang Xiujing wanted to stop it, but Lan Junyao stopped her behavior, and Wu Yinyue sat down beside her, and stuck out her tongue at Shuang Xiujing defiantly, and Yun Shu on the side laughed again and again.
Wu Yinyue was the same age as Lan Yunshu, but like a child who didn't grow up, she pulled Lan Junyao and kept asking about everything outside the valley. There are many young people in the clan who have left the valley, and even the companions who grew up with him have gone out a few times, but every time he wants to go out, his father will not allow him.
After going back and forth, he made up his mind to get out of here, and tried to sneak out of the witch patriarch several times, but he didn't succeed in his plan. He looked at Lan Junyao and begged: "The next time the Holy Sister goes out of the valley to run errands, you must take me, if the Holy Sister is willing to take me out, my father will definitely agree." β
Lan Junyao had other considerations in her heart, she would not stay in the Wu Clan for long, since Brother Qingyue was still alive, she must find him. After leaving here, I have to go back to Moyun Valley first, and I have to ask Master about this matter.
If it weren't for a majestic scolding sound coming from the entrance of the cave, I was afraid that Wu Yinyue would still stick to Lan Junyao and ask non-stop, and the person who came would be the patriarch of the Wu clan.
As soon as Wu Yinyue saw her father coming, she immediately became more well-behaved than a rabbit, and got up quietly to stand aside, but secretly made a grimace at Lan Junyao when the patriarch couldn't see it.
"Is the Holy Maiden satisfied with the environment here?" the Wu clan patriarch pulled over the chair and sat down face to face with Lan Junyao.
"Not bad. Lan Junyao replied truthfully, this place is indeed taken care of, and even the pool in the middle is led to the underground hot spring water, although it is a cold day, there is no trace of chill in the cave.
"This time, we can find the return of the Holy Maiden, and the revitalization of our Wu clan is just around the corner. "The patriarch of the Wu clan made his intention clear, and they had been planning for this day since the beginning of the signs in the clan more than ten years ago.
"The patriarch laughed, I'm just an ordinary woman. Lan Junyao took a sip of the tea in the cup, and the quiet lotus fragrance filled her nose, as if it made people even have a turbidity in their bodies, good tea.
The patriarch did not hide it, and told her the prophecy left by the ancestors, and the Wu clan attached great importance to this matter, and the holy woman returned with the holy relics of the Wu clan, which alone shows that the prophecy of the ancestors was not wrong.
"The saint doesn't have to be too humble, I don't know if the holy relics can lend me a look. "The Wu clan has been trying hard to retrieve the holy relics for many years, and the Wu clan patriarch is also a little excited for a while.
This is the greatest guarantee in his hands, and Lan Junyao can't easily give this thing to them. Shaking her head at him gently, she said, "Forgive me." β
The patriarch waved his hand at her, and Fang said: "It's me who is too anxious, I know that you can't trust us for a while, this matter is not in a hurry, I am here today just to tell the Holy Maiden, the big array outside the valley is laid by the ancestors, if you fall into the formation, what will happen even I can't guess, the Holy Maiden will rest in the valley for a few days, and if you need to add anything, someone will tell me." β
After sending off the patriarch, there was finally a moment of calm in the cave. Yun Shu was about to speak, but Lan Junyao covered her mouth, she pointed to the wall on one side, the wall has ears, they must always be on guard.
Yun Shu was clear, and the internal force gathered in the dantian, forcing the sound into a secret, and sending the words he wanted to say into Lan Junyao's ears. After listening to her words, Lan Junyao nodded, when necessary, this young patriarch can take advantage of it, but at the moment, he can't be overly enthusiastic about him, so as not to be seen.
After a while, someone came over again and led Lan Yunshu and Shuang Xiujing to rest in another stone cave. I think the patriarch had explained in advance, and she had a respectful look on her face when she saw Lan Junyao.
Guided by this witch girl, Lan Junyao was able to explore the furnishings outside the cave, only to see that countless caves had been dug into a natural stone peak, and the surrounding peaks must have been the same, and these Wu people settled in these stone caves.
The place arranged by the patriarch for them happened to be distributed on both sides of the stone cave where Lan Junyao lived, such an arrangement could not be said to be unsatisfactory, but Lan Junyao could not deny it, all because of the Qianqiu Heavy Lock in her hand, which she could understand.
For Lan Junyao's sake, although the decorations on both sides are not as good as the stone cave where she lives, they are also precious things. The Wu people have a request for her, and they naturally do everything with all their hearts.
Frost Xiujing on the side, smiled and joked to her: "I think this saintess of the witch clan is more expensive than you, the queen, if you stay here, although the environment here is not as good as Moyun Valley, it can be regarded as a paradise." β
Lan Junyao glanced at him and replied, "If Brother Wuwu wants to stay, I have no objection, the patriarch's residence is not far from here, why don't I come forward and ask, does he have a little daughter?"
"You know my intentions, why bother?" Frost Xiujing was halfway through his words, and then stopped talking, how could he mention this stubble.
