Chapter 172: The Woodcutter
As the temperature slowly cooled, the people who were bathing in the spring also came out of the spring, and the fire had risen beside the spring, and everyone sat by the fire for a while, and waited until their clothes were completely dry, and then they were ready to continue their journey.
They immediately looked for the exit, but they came to the realm of the four countries, except for the outside world, it seemed that there was no way to get the exit of the realm of the four kingdoms, and when they returned the same way to find the entrance to the secret realm, the original path had completely disappeared, and they were now trapped in the secret realm and could not leave.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Ju Mang stood up.
Along the way, the three ancient gods didn't say a word, but the three of them leaned on tightly, and they didn't talk to the others, as if they were discussing something alone, and even though the three of them were by their side, they couldn't hear the three of them talking, and they could be blocked.
Then the three ancient gods remembered what the others were looking for, and said, "We can open the exit."
"Just ......"
"Just what?" Nalan Yan asked, she looked at Ju Mang's appearance, and vaguely felt that Ju Mang was going to say something, so she immediately asked.
Ju Mang reviewed Bei Harvest and Zhu Rong, and the three of them nodded at the same time, before saying: "It's just that I have one thing to tell you, this time you have entered the secret realm, and you can be regarded as seeing the place where the Nightmare Beast was sealed, but the seal of the Nightmare Beast has not been reinforced, our appearance means that the seal has been much weaker, and the Nightmare Beast will soon break through the seal, and the world will inevitably usher in a catastrophe, you should also be careful."
"Is there anything you can do to stop it?" After hearing this, Nalan Yan said hurriedly.
A large part of them came this time to prevent the birth of the Nightmare Beast, but now Jumang said that there would definitely be a catastrophe, which she couldn't imagine.
"Providence is like this, it is not something we can contend with, whether it is a blessing or a curse, only in the face of catastrophe, and it cannot be avoided." Ju Mang deeply forgot about Nalan Yan and shook his head with a sigh.
The most feared thing is still going to happen, listening to the words of Mang, Nalan Yan seems to be able to see the disaster that will happen in the future, she pinched her palm slightly, and always felt that her palm was faintly hot.
Ju Mang has been facing Nalan Yan, and the people behind him are also in his eyes, Zhu Rong stepped forward and patted Ju Mang's shoulder, walked to Duan Tianze's side and said to Duan Tianze: "There are more important things to go out this time, go to the Xuan Netherworld to get the last seal in your hands, and it is also needed from time to time."
He still trusted Duan Tianze more, so he handed over the matter of finding the seal to Duan Tianze, Duan Tianze knew how important the seal was to the Nightmare Beast, and immediately nodded in response.
Ju Mang withdrew his gaze and smiled lightly to comfort everyone: "It doesn't have to be so heavy, everything has a solution."
With that, he turned around and walked to a clearing with Bei Shu and Zhu Rong, and the three of them held hands and transmitted spiritual power to their hands.
I saw that the three of them were surrounded by blue, red and white light, and three pillars of light rose around the three of them, and the hands of the three people slowly let go, and as they pushed to the pillar of light, a gate rose in the middle of the three pillars of light, and they could see the outside world.
After the gate was raised, the three of them opened their eyes and withdrew the spiritual power in their bodies, and the light gradually faded, and they said to the others: "Let's go."
Even if he knew that there would be a catastrophe, as Ju Mang said, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was better to think of a way to deal with it, Nalan Yan withdrew her thoughts, although her face was a little ugly, but she still accepted the fact that the catastrophe was coming, and was led out of the door by Duan Tianze.
The last to walk out was the three of Jumang, after the three of them walked out, the light on their bodies began to dim, and when the light disappeared, they still closed the door again, so as not to happen bad things.
"The spiritual power outside is not as good as in the secret realm, and our entity can't be maintained, remember, we must get the seal of the Xuan Netherworld." Ju Mang took advantage of his virtual transformation and immediately said to Duan Tianze and Nalan Yan.
With that, the three immature teenagers disappeared, turning into three rays of light and burrowing into the tripartite seal that was still hidden in Nalan Yan's chest, and the seal began to flicker a few times, and then disappeared.
Nalan Yan took out the seal and handed it back to Duan Tianze's hand.
Although they had left the secret realm, they had no impression of this place at all, and the exit was not the exit of the original Shikoku realm, nor was it a gap, so they didn't know how to go, so they could only leave in the direction of the sun.
I think that the three ancient gods also opened the door to such a hidden place in order to be safe from being discovered by others.
They walked in the woods, making marks as they went, although they didn't find any marks left by them along the way, but the scenery around them really didn't change at all, the position of the trees, the appearance of the flowers and plants, which made them unable to distinguish the direction at all.
Now they don't even know which country they are in, let alone bring it up.
Just when the crowd was almost desperate, Duan Lin was about to go up with his sword to find the direction, there was the sound of footsteps in his ears, and the sound of his body slashing through the trees.
When everyone heard this voice, they immediately became alert, the surrounding trees were thick, and they couldn't see what was coming at all, but listening to the footsteps, it should be a human being, and they were guessing that a middle-aged man came out of everyone's side with a bundle of firewood on his back.
The man was also taken aback when he saw this group of people, and almost slashed directly at it, but when his eyes fell on Duan Tianze, he paused slightly, so that he was not very afraid.
"You're lost." The man spared everyone and walked in front of Duan Tianze, but there was not the slightest fear on his face, but he was very calm.
"Don't kill me, I'm just a woodcutter who makes a living by collecting firewood nearby, I'm familiar with this area, you don't have to be afraid, you can go out with me." The man also showed everyone the firewood on his back and smiled.
However, Nalan Yan was very cautious, because she found that when the woodcutter looked at her, there was something wrong with her face, as if it was mixed with some anger.
"What kind of place is this?" Nalan Yan stopped Duan Tianze and asked the woodcutter.
The woodcutter didn't want to pay attention to Nalan Yan, but it seemed that he wanted to hide something, so he said to Nalan Yan with a smile: "This is a mountain forest near Yanhuo Country, now you should believe it."
Everyone who didn't know where this was heard the woodcutter say that this was in the Yanhuo Country, so they were naturally relieved, Nalan Yan slowly put her hand down, maybe she was too suspicious, so she didn't stop it.
The woodcutter led the way in front, and they followed behind, and every now and then the woodcutter had to look behind him to look at the people who followed, and smile when he met the eyes of Duan Tianze.
Nalan Yan doubted this woodcutter more than once, but looking at the calluses on the woodcutter's hands, as well as the scars on his body due to the years of shuttling in the woods, and the dead skin left by the sun, Nalan Yan still couldn't believe the person in front of her.
The woodcutter walked all the way and told them that his family had always lived at the foot of the mountain, so he was very familiar with a piece of wood, and in the midst of small talk, the woodcutter had already led everyone out of the mountain forest.
After walking outside and looking at everything around them, they knew what kind of place this was, and they had also arrived near the Imperial City, in addition to thanking the woodcutter who took them out of the mountains and forests, they also wanted to thank the Three Ancient Gods who directly brought them back to the Yanhuo Country.
Since they are all the people of Yanhuo Country, and they helped them today, Duan Tianze directly took out all the silver on his body, handed it to the woodcutter, and said, "Thank you, a little gratitude is not a salute."
The woodcutter didn't accept it, but his face was a little more anxious, looking at the woodcutter's appearance that he wanted to speak but couldn't speak, Duan Tianze was puzzled: "When I saw you just now, I felt that something was wrong, do you actually know our identity?"
This time, the woodcutter was even more nervous, he was just a commoner, and when he knew Duan Tianze's identity, he could still pretend that he didn't know that it was already powerful to take everyone down the mountain, but now it seems to have been exposed, and the woodcutter didn't know what to say.
"Yes, Cao Min knows that you are the prince of Yanhuo Country, and it is really a coincidence to see the prince this time, but the grass people also have one thing I hope you can make decisions for the grass people." The woodcutter sighed, and finally organized the language, and said to the same day.
After that, he knelt down, was caught by Duan Tianze, and said: "You are also our benefactor, you don't have to be like this, you are all the people of my Yanhuo Country, so naturally you want to help."
Only then did the woodcutter put his mind at ease, unloaded the firewood on his body, and said to Duan Tianze: "Lord Wang, I am a reckless man, I am fortunate to have a daughter in the family, who is beautiful, and now I have grown up, but a few days ago, I was favored by the little young master of the General's Mansion, and I have to marry back, Lord Wang, please also make decisions for the grass people."
General's Mansion?
Everyone felt that something was wrong when they heard this, if they wanted to talk about this general's mansion, you must know that there is only one general's mansion in Yanhuo Country, that is, the general's mansion of Nalan Sirong, isn't there only Nalanche for the little young master of the general's mansion?
Hearing this, Su Zhe also looked at Nalanche who was behind him, Nalanche also looked puzzled, but he hadn't figured out the situation yet, and he couldn't draw conclusions at will.
Wait, General's Palace? Which general's mansion are you talking about, and which little young master is the little young master. Duan Tianze still didn't believe it, so he asked.
The woodcutter sighed: "Which one can there be, of course, it is General Nalan's mansion, and the little young master is naturally the one called Nalanche."
As soon as everyone heard the woodcutter say that Nalanche robbed his daughter, Nalanche himself was still standing in the line, how could he rob someone else's daughter, everyone believed what the woodcutter said.
Nalan Yan sneered and asked rhetorically, "Are you sure that it was Nalan Che who snatched your daughter?"
The woodcutter looked at Nalan Yan's eyes no longer so hidden, but directly let her see the anger in the woodcutter's eyes, and the woodcutter nodded and said, "Yes."
Nalan Yan and Nalan Che look very similar, so when the woodcutter saw Nalan Yan's appearance, he naturally thought of Nalan Che's body, and the fierce beast in his eyes appeared from this.
Nalan Che behind him wanted to stand up and reason clearly, but was stopped by Nalan Yan raising her hand and letting Nalan Che hide behind Su Zhe's back, this matter is too strange, it is better for her to ask more.
Nalan Che saw what Nalan Yan meant, Su Zhe and Feng Xi got closer and blocked Nalan Che tightly, originally the woodcutter was very nervous when he saw everyone, so he didn't notice Nalan Che, who was short in stature, and it was really a big fuss now.
"Uncle, do you know that the Nalan General's Mansion you said is my family, I am the young lady of the General's Mansion, Nalan Yan, the Nalan Che you are talking about is my younger brother, how can he do something that has lost his conscience." Nalan Yan revealed her identity, she wanted to see if this woodcutter was lying.
I saw that the woodcutter's originally angry eyes suddenly changed, as if he knelt on the ground directly because he knew Nalan Yan's identity, and this time, Duan Tianze didn't support him, because he also felt that the woodcutter was lying.
"So, what are you lying about?" Seeing the woodcutter kneeling, Nalan Yan immediately asked.
How do you know that the woodcutter suddenly cried and mourned, the whole person was soft on the ground, looked at Duan Tianze and Nalan Yan fiercely, and said: "Is there any royal law, you are clearly in a group with that Nalan Che, now it's good, the officials and the officials are all in a group, how can we ordinary people have a way to live, blame me for having no eyes, it actually fell into your hands, it seems that this matter is ignored by our family, and our family should lose a daughter."
