Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 277: Alone in the Forest

They followed Zhu Tong for a long time.

The road behind can no longer be ridden. It was a swamp, and Zhu Tong walked lightly over it, but the horses hesitated. After a few steps, one leg of Mo Liang and Xi Yu's horse sank into the mud, even though it was the position that Zhu Tong had just stepped on, she was unscathed. It took a lot of effort for them to pull the horses up, and now the other horses said that they would not go. Zhu Tong looked at them innocently, as if those reproachful eyes were gratuitous and vicious. In fact, everyone knows who the bad intentions are. It made them even more reluctant to go with her, as if there was some trap waiting in front of them.

Doubt is doubt, and if you want to solve the problem, you have to keep up. They all complained in their hearts, but they had a somewhat "see what tricks you can play". After leashing the horses, they followed Zhu Tong for some distance. The exact route is not clear, and it feels like time has passed. At first, when I asked her how long she had left, she always said that it was almost there, and when she asked again, she didn't bother to talk.

It was only after noon that they came to a stone wall.

Dai Luan felt that this place was very similar to the cliff where she had strayed into the Shadow Pavilion, but it was not very similar, maybe not too far away.

Seven people walked in one after another, Shi Wuqi told them to stand back, and he took the lead. Mo Liang raised his sword vigilantly, and at the end he alertly pricked up his ears and looked left and right. Until the mountains and seas retreat to the end, let him move forward with confidence. The passage was a little damp, and a faint sound of water could be heard. The fluorescent mosses and other plants grow denser the deeper you go. The fluttering blue bugs come in groups of three or five.

"There's a lot to walk here." Zhu Tong finally spoke, her soft voice amplified in the empty cavern, "There is no dead end, each one has an answer." ”

"Answer?"

Dai Luan repeated. She wanted to know what the answer meant, but Mu Wan didn't want the answer, she wanted the end.

"Where's the exit?" Shi Wu asked.

"When you get the answer, you can get out."

As he spoke, a fork in the road appeared in front of him.

Because the light was too weak, they only found out when they walked in front of them. Zhu Tong turned around and said to them:

"Divide yourselves into two groups...... There were so many people that we were worried that if we caused a commotion, we would not be able to cope with it. ”

"You're afraid of this?" As if he was laughing, Xi Yu said.

"Half of the people, please come with me. If the other half has a fork in the road, continue to split into two groups. ”

This statement is disturbing. Will the crowd be diverted and everyone will be left with themselves in the end? They don't know what tricks this guy is up to. Mu Wan finally couldn't help it, she asked:

"Why? Give us a reason. You say that, and we are very suspicious of your motives. ”

"Because you're afraid we'll take advantage of this to kill you all?" Zhu Tong tilted his head, "But that's not good for us." ”

"Then who knows? After all, the ghost sigh, the demon sealing blade, and the incense burner are all on us, and I don't believe you don't know this. ”

"That's true." Zhu Tong nodded, "But snatching is not our purpose. If we really wanted it, we would have done it a long time ago. But please rest assured, Satsuki-kun has an order, even if some of us are tempted, we will not do what we shouldn't do. ”

Shi Wuqi raised his eyebrows slightly. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I believe you in that." Well, I can part with you, who is going to come with me? ”

As he spoke, he came to another cave. He looked sideways as he walked over, and there was no difference between the two sides, there was a faint cool breeze, which sounded distant. There is no danger in the nearest place. He glanced at Shanhai, who nodded. He knew that Wu Qi meant to let him follow Zhu Tong and not let a group of girls take risks.

"I'll come."

As he spoke, Mo Liang walked over with his sword. Xi Yu was a little flustered, she looked at Dai Luan and them, then looked at the two people standing over there, gritted her teeth, and followed.

"Aren't you afraid?" Mu Wan asked.

"Don't be afraid!" She crossed her waist, "I always keep my mind in mind. If you don't break my sword, you're not afraid! ”

Mu Wan was speechless for a while, she remembered the sword that was broken by Ji'e, and she hadn't compensated her yet, so she was a little embarrassed.

"Go back and ...... again"

"Don't you take her with you?" Zhu Tong suddenly interrupted her and turned to Shi Wuqi. She pointed to Miss Qi.

"Tsk."

"It's useless to try to measure in this way, she can't walk a few steps, and she will become a puppet with broken threads. The distribution of spiritual power and spiritual veins here is very complicated, and it will definitely be disturbed. ”

Shi Wuqi stopped talking and walked into another cave without looking back, and Miss Qi broke away from the original group and followed him. Mo Liang nodded at them and walked over as well. Only Xi Yu was reluctant to give up and turned back frequently.

The master and apprentice and Mu Wan continued to follow Zhu Tong. The scenery in front of me has not changed, and I wonder if it is the same on the other side. The few people didn't walk for long, and they could still hear the footsteps in the cave next door, but now they are completely inaudible. At first, Mu Wan was still a little flustered, but Dai Luan, who saw that she was big-hearted, was not too afraid, and she relaxed her courage. The wind gusted, making her brain as numb as her face.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for another fork in front of him.

"Let's go over there, two of them." Zhu Tong made a gesture of please again.

Mu Wan has never liked to play pantomime.

"What the hell do you want?" Her tone was angry, "Why did you deliberately separate us?" Tell me, what is your purpose. Don't prevaricate anymore, or I'll use the Demon Sealing Blade to muddy the spiritual power here. ”

It is indeed a powerful threat, Zhu Tong frowned slightly, his face was embarrassed, but he was still smiling. Dai Luan pulled the corner of Lamuwan's clothes and whispered, "It's not so ......."

"I don't know what virtues these people have? If you don't force her to make it clear, she'll just sell it endlessly! ”

"Oops...... It's a bit of a hassle for you to do that. Zhu Tong smiled bitterly, but his tone was still very relaxed, "The reason is indeed very simple, but I don't know if you believe it or notβ€”each of you has a story and a secret." But not all of these stories and secrets are wanted to be known to others, even the closest friends. In that sense, might it be better to give each other some respect? You can't force them, it's embarrassing. ”

At first glance it sounded reasonable, but it didn't convince her.

"I don't believe anyone has a bad past."

"Why are you so unreasonable?"

"Isn't it unreasonable for you to wantonly peep on your privacy?"

Zhu Tong laughed shallowly again. This smile on a child's face somehow has a bit of a rogue meaning.

"Don't argue with her." Shanhai sighed and said, "What do you think? If you're worried about her tricks, you can let Luan go with you. I'm relieved that you're together. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Mu Wan felt that it was indeed a little inappropriate for her to argue like this in front of a girl who had just turned sixteen, and what she wanted to do was to set an example for her seniors, rather than need a child to protect.

"It doesn't matter." She gritted her teeth, "It's better for you to be with your apprentice." I'm going to follow her and see what other tricks the group of people in the Shadow Pavilion have up their sleeves. ”

Shanhai wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He patted Mu Wan on the shoulder and turned away. Dai Luan frowned a little melancholy, and was also a little in a dilemma. Mu Wan only reassured her to follow the master, and she followed the mountains and seas.

The cave seems to be wider than before, and I don't know if it's because there are fewer people that Mu Wan feels empty.

didn't take two steps, Zhu Tong suddenly ran up, she was stunned, and hurriedly chased after her.

"What are you doing! Hold it! ”

Mu Wan also quickened his pace and chased forward. But the little creature ran so fast that it flew away, and in a moment it disappeared into the boundless darkness in front of him. She sped up and tried to catch up, but the scenery in front of her suddenly opened up, and she subconsciously stopped her feet, and finally stopped at the edge of the cliff - the empty space in front of her was a cliff within a mountain. She stopped and took a few steps back, her legs limp, and she was scared for a while. She poked her head out from above, bottomless below, faintly glowing blue, I don't know if it was water or some other plant. The top was a little wider, and many stone stalactites appeared. There is not a road in front of you, but there is a huge spine on the side, and there are long bones sticking out of the rock mass in front of you, like fangs that grow naturally out of the soil.

The cliff was still some distance from the bones, and she didn't know how Zhu Tong jumped up. Mu Wan carefully pressed against the edge of the hole and leaned out a foot, the tip of his shoe could barely touch, but it was difficult to move the gravity of his entire body. She shrank back, looked left and right, and couldn't jump over from a proper angle.

Just give up all the previous efforts, turn around, and go to the original fork in the road to find the mountains and seas?

She turned her head and looked at the empty darkness, somewhat unwilling. What's more, Zhu Tong said that the spiritual veins here are very chaotic, and she walked back like this, not necessarily the original way.

She took a deep breath to relax her legs, and it took a while for her to shake less. She is not afraid in her heart, but her body does not obey the call. After a while, she took a few steps diagonally back into the hole, gritted her teeth, and rushed towards the spine.

Jump on it! But suddenly her left foot slipped and she lost her center of gravity. Before planting it, she grabbed the curved rib-like thing on the side, so that it didn't fall. This bone is also not very strong and is a little loose when you grab it. She groped her way cautiously, and when there was no place to hold on, she bent down, clutched her bones, and crawled over with her hands and feet. It seemed funny, but she didn't care.

She was relieved to finally be on the other side. Just after she patted the dust off her clothes, the bone bridge behind her suddenly collapsed. A loud rumbling sound echoed through the cavern, making my feet tingle. After a cacophony of sounds, the bone path disappeared, and a large amount of dust floated in the air. She poked her head out with her breath in her breath, unable to see any ripples in the glimmer below.

There's really no turning back this time.

Mu Wan continued to move forward, and soon, she saw a curtain of vines with glowing green flowers on it. She had never seen a flower that was green. They are so small that if you don't look closely, you will think they are leaves.

She lifted the curtain, and the ground was covered with white gravel. It's a big space, and it seems like people come here all the time. There are many wooden cabinets around it, piled with books and bamboo slips, and some cabinets are stuffed with bottles and jars. From a distance, it looks like a variety of rouge gouache used by women, but the air is clearly filled with a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

There were a lot of tools in the middle that she couldn't read, probably for distillation or other processes. Is this a pharmaceutical workshop? Or something else. There was a basin of steaming water, and a bowl was floating, and in it was a half-melted piece of something.

Mu Wan stretched out his hand and wanted to pick it up and take a look.

"Don't move."

A stern voice was heard. Mu Wan retracted his hand sharply and looked up. There was someone in front of him, and he turned his back to her, rummaging for something on the cupboard.

When she saw it clearly, a burst of ignorant karmic fire surged in her heart.

"Wu Yin?!" She shouted angrily, "You're the hell! ”
