Chapter 815: Fishing
The cool breeze swept over the leaves on the soles of the feet, so that the traces of the leaves that Yue Shaoan and his party had just stepped on and buried in half of their legs disappeared in an instant. The trees had never moved, and the wind was not strong, however, in the dense woods, why there was such a uniform wind, Yue Shao'an really couldn't understand.
As soon as he entered this forest, Dao Yan said that he had something to do, and then he and Yue Shao'an went their separate ways. He himself said that he would be able to catch up soon, but looking at the way that did not leave a trace, Yue Shaoan was still a little worried, he was not worried that Dao Yan would not be able to find it, in order to prevent this, Yue Shaoan had the guards mark the trees along the road since he was like a forest.
What worries him is precisely this unprovoked wind, I don't know where it comes from, and I don't know where it goes, it seems to have been rotating around the forest, it seems to be irregular, and it seems to have a certain trajectory, anyway, from the moment I came here, I feel weird everywhere, for example, at this time, the sunlight that originally shone down on the top of my head has never been on the road, and what falls through the canopy is a strange dark red light, which ordinary people may not be able to describe what this light looks like in their eyes, but Yue Shaoan is too familiar with this color, It's like the color of blood that stays on the ground for a little longer and naturally darkens after a great battle.
This kind of light, this kind of color, has a special feeling in the eyes of people like Yue Shao'an, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, so that they all unconsciously closed their mouths and naturally fell silent.
A few hours passed. Yue Shao'an had been trying to find every tree that might leave a mark, however, he was disappointed. There is no trace, it stands to reason that Fu Ning is delicate in his daily life, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
The more puzzled, the more worrying it becomes. The silence was terrible, and the whole forest was lifeless, not even the sound of birds in the ordinary grove, and there were only endless trees in front of him except for the dark red light......
Little by little, time passed. A guard who was not far in front of Yue Shao'an turned his head and said, "Lord Wang, have you noticed ......?"
Yue Shaoan was slightly stunned, although he had already been called the king, few people called him like this, and these guards around him were all close people, and he was a little unaccustomed to being called like this suddenly. However, just for a flash, Yue Shaoan frowned and said, "Notice what?" β
"It seems that the sun has not changed since an hour ago...... the guard's tone was a little deeply worried.
Yue Shao'an raised his head, the strange dark red light seemed to be brighter, and the blood-red sunlight that could be faintly seen through the canopy of the tree seemed to have not moved a bit.
Yue Shao'an took out the compass prepared in advance from his arms, only to see that the needle seemed to be crazy, spinning at an extremely fast speed, and he couldn't point the direction at all.
Cold sweat fell unconsciously from the corners of his forehead.
Looking back at the road from which I came, it was very straight, and I could see my own carved marks on a few nearby trees. Yue Shaoan gritted his teeth, since he had already arrived here, he didn't plan to give up halfway, he lightly knocked the stirrup under his feet, and whispered: "Go!" β
The stopped team continued to fall silent and moved forward......
The cool breeze was still blowing gently, more than three feet above the ground, and the hair did not move a single bit, but the traces of the step did not stop for a moment, and were instantly covered by the leaves that passed by the wind.
Time passed bit by bit, and the road behind him was still so straight, as if you could see Xiaoyao Town directly.
Two hours passed...... According to the normal time, it is already ten minutes of sunset, but the dark red light above the head has not changed, and even the dark red sun has always hung in one direction.
All this was beyond the scope of Yue Shao'an's cognition, and he couldn't find a clue in the knowledge he had learned to explain all this. However, the more strange it was here, the more hope that Yue Shao'an was thinking about seemed to be closer to reality......
However, the guards were a little nervous, and it was no wonder that although they were all people who had experienced life and death, the constant and high vigilance of this psychology was no worse than the pressure of facing thousands of troops.
The most frightening thing is not a person coming to you, but a person who you feel coming towards you, but you can't see anything, the unknown is always scary, it is something that makes people tremble in their subconscious.
At this moment, time is extraordinarily long for them, as if it has no end.
Yue Shaoan is also far from being as calm as he seems on the surface. After a day's journey, they didn't sweat, but they hadn't taken a sip of water or eaten a mouthful of food. Under high pressure, none of this seems to be so important.
After walking for a while, the scenery in front of them finally changed a little, and the dense trees began to become thinner, which gave them some hope, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.
After a while, the trees became scarcer, and the thick leaves ahead were gradually replaced by rubble.
After a few more miles, the trees were gone, and the ground was full of white flat stones, and in the center of the flat stones, a stone platform half a foot high was built, and on the stone platform, an old man with a beard hanging down to the crook of his arm wore a hat on his head, and held a wooden stick in his hand, and at the other end of the wooden stick were tied several rattans, and the rattan extended from the stone platform, and at the end of the rattan a small puddle was tinged with turquoise.
Looking at the old man's appearance, it seemed that he was fishing.
The guards all looked towards Yue Shao'an. Yue Shaoxin couldn't help but be vigilant, in this kind of place, seeing people is not necessarily a good thing, but if you don't see people like before, it will definitely not be a good thing, he gestured gently.
One of the guards walked towards the old man. When he came to the stone platform, the guard coughed lightly, saluted, and said, "Old man, ......"
The old man was expressionless, did not speak, did not move, and did not seem to hear. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice and shouted, "Old man! β
The old man still didn't respond.
The guard frowned, and shouted again, "Old manβ"
This time, the old man moved, and saw the hat slowly writhing towards the guard. A face slowly appeared in front of the guard's eyes, it was an extraordinarily delicate face, delicate like a pretty woman, and the large beard, although it grew on the lips, was out of place, as if it had been rigged on.
The lips surrounded by the beard slowly opened: "Are you talking to me?" It was a young woman's voice.
The guard was taken aback, his eyes widened suddenly, and he was speechless.
And the "old man" suddenly raised his head and laughed, the laughter was unusually harsh, and at the same time as she laughed, the dark red sun above that was not covered by the canopy of the trees suddenly more than doubled......
The guards suddenly screamed and shouted, "Lord Wang, go quickly-"
