Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 202: Keep your eyes peeled
If it's the height of summer, the sky in the east will be about the same as the faint light. But the year has not yet passed, only the stars in the sky twinkle and twinkle weakly.
The group was walking in the direction of the low-lying area, a place that no one had visited before. It goes further than the direction of the cemetery, and the average person does not go down this way. And there were no roads, just more weeds, and it was more difficult to walk than any previous mountain road. Xi Yu brushed aside the branches in front of him, looked at the bottom of the ravine, and guessed the distance in his heart.
"How long do you have to go?" Dai Luan was a little tired.
"It won't be long...... Xi Yu was a little anxious, "I remember going so far." β
"I haven't seen any caves you say so far, not even the cliffs. What you say is true or false, is there such a place? Or are you lying to us? β
Mu Wan's questioning was pressing step by step, and his tone was getting higher and higher, obviously suspicious. The others slowed down a little, probably a little suspicious. Xi Yu was a little anxious, she turned around and argued:
"I said I'll show you the way, how can I regret it? I am...... I don't remember exactly what it is. But I remember that I just went down this path, and I couldn't go wrong. Do you believe me?! β
Chi Li sighed slightly: "How do you make us believe ......"
"Wait." Ye Yuejun said, "I guess that place is hidden in the enchantment. A cunning person like She Jiu would not let important locations be directly exposed in broad daylight. β
"I think so...... I think the location of the cemetery is quite exquisite, but there are some irregularities in feng shui. If it is said that the person who chose the site does not know, it is impossible to say it, after all, there are at least half of the onmyoji in Xueyan Valley, and they will not understand. Now that I think about it, it should have been deliberate. β
After Shanhai finished speaking, he walked a few steps to the south slightly, and looked around. There was the sound of running water nearby, but it was relatively small, and I don't know where it was. Others were not careless, and they all paid attention. Dai Luan said again:
"We should be careful. I still remember that Gao Yuejun and his men liked to play the tricks of the five elements. β
Shanhai and Mo Liang looked around. Shanhai pointed in one direction and said to Xi Yu:
"Look, is that there?"
"This ...... I don't see it. But I feel like this is the time to go. β
"When they take you, who does anything to make a small move? That's probably a spell to unravel the barrier. β
"No, I ......don't remember," Xi Yu said honestly.
Everyone sighed, it seems that they can't count on this unreliable girl. The mountains and seas shook out a talisman and tried to search for a specific direction and unlock the blockade of the barrier. Mo Liang tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered:
"Stand back...... I'll give it a try. β
"Do you have a way? You can also. β
So he took two steps behind Mo Liang. Ye Yuejun kept looking at him, and she also wanted to know how much ability this little child could use. Mo Liang took a deep breath and suddenly ran forward, while fiercely pulling out a white-gold sword light. The light whistled across the prairie and suddenly hit the invisible hood out of thin air. A crisp hum came from ahead, and the light suddenly disappeared. They were silent for a while, waiting, waiting, but nothing else happened.
Shanhai sighed slightly, ready to step forward and crack it by other methods. At this time, some strange voices came. The cracking sound that occurs when a porcelain is fired has failed, lasted for a while, followed by the sound of glass scattering, but not noisy, like a vase breaking in the distance.
Suddenly, they saw a very different piece of scenery - the barrier had been punched out.
"This ......"
They all glanced at Mo Liang. Especially Ye Yuejun, she opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she still gave up. They burrowed through the hole where the barrier had been broken, and the scenery they saw was still green mountains and waters, mixed with unmelted snow. The layout of those mountains and rivers is probably still based on the design of the Snow Yan Valley, but it does lack some kind of aura, and they can feel it.
"This is a gradual enchantment...... Ye Yuejun glanced back, "It is probably a gas-based drug that allows the human body to inhale it before it slowly blends into this world, and if the scenery is too abrupt, the little girl should also notice it." This kind of enchantment is thin but thick, so ......"
"The sword qi of that sword general just now compressed the enchantment." Mu Wan frowned and looked at his sword with Ye Yuejun.
The appearance of a mountain appeared in front of him, which was indeed incompatible with the grass just now. But the sky ahead was dark and oppressive, as if something was circling.
"Are we late......" Ikeri muttered.
Dai Luan stared at it for a long time, and couldn't see it: "What is that?" A flock of birds? Swallows? Or ......"
"It's a bat......"
"W-What about this? Whatever it was, they were all released......"
Mu Wan began to get anxious again. When it comes to big things, she can't hold her breath. She hoped that this would be changed, but reality always gave her time to react, and trouble ensued.
"What about this, this hole?!" Dai Luan felt a tingling in her scalp, "I want them to fly out......"
Xi Yu followed and worried. Something suddenly occurred to her, and she asked, "Can that ...... If you can break up this kind of barrier and spread it again, maybe you can fill this hole. β
"Yes, yes, but this group of bats must have sucked out the antidote, and they can't stop it."
Ye Yuejun rushed up against the black oppressive clouds. There was indeed a large hole above the rock face, and bats were constantly flying out. There was still murmuring water on the rock face, maybe that's what they heard. There is a trail next to it that leads to the cave, and now it's too late.
Ye Yuejun still took three steps and two steps, jumped directly onto the bulge of the rock wall, and kept walking upward, and the wet and bumpy terrain seemed to have no effect on her. When she reached a relatively calm place, she pulled out the familiar spell again, and pierced the arrow, drawing her bow above the sky.
"Ah......h
Mo Liang raised his head below and opened his mouth slightly.
"What's wrong?" Dai Luan asked.
"That spell ......," he pointed to Ye Yuejun, "That's the Mo family's painting method, it's very old...... There are fewer people who practice archery, and people from my grandfather's generation still use some. β
The mountains and seas were silent, thinking that it was probably passed down by his ancestors.
She changed her arrows very quickly, and those off-string arrows suddenly exploded at a certain point in the sky, like fireworks, and stabbed the bats in the sky one after another. The arrows fell one after another, and soon turned into dust. This talisman still has an effect on such spells, but there are too many of them, and it is not a way to go on like this.
"If the tengu are here, they will be killed by biting them." Dai Luan said indignantly.
"I'm still afraid that it will be infected with some kind of Gu disease, and it will be killed by other means. It's just ...... now"
She summoned the three gods with a spell, and they understood what she meant. Dai Luan moved her ears, noticed a trace of abnormality, and was a little anxious:
"Look at the water on the rock wall...... Have they changed? β
A few people looked over, and the water flow was really like a bead curtain, and it was gathered together by an invisible force. When they come together, they look like an upside-down, uprooted tree. The painting-like water tree suddenly moved, and it slowly rose from the rock wall, like a waterfall that had been provoked. It raised its head and snaked its body, looking very large, clinging to the cliff and standing in front of Ye Yuejun.
Like a snake made of water.
Ye Yuejun's arrow shot out, and it poked its head to block it. The arrow was swallowed up by the water, did not penetrate and did not explode.
Two people came out of the cave, both of whom were old acquaintances.
"Yo, Master She." Mu Wan mocked, "We thought you left him as an outcast and ran away." β
"Huh? What you say, I can't hearβ"
She Jiu deliberately put his hand to his ear and stood on the edge of the cliff pretending to hear clearly. She was even more angry. Chi Li raised his sword and pointed it at him and scolded, this kind of person should be dragged down and beaten. That movement is almost the same as Mu Wan, and I don't know when I learned it.
Shanhai quickly thought: "They don't necessarily come down, it's very comfortable up there." We need to strengthen the barrier, stop the Gu poison, and deal with those two difficult people. We have limited manpower, so I'm afraid we won't be able to arrange it. β
"It's not realistic to force the two of them to stop."
Mu Wan looked in the direction of the two. Hazuki-kun tried to get close to them, but no matter how hard she tried, the pesky water snake would interfere with her movements. The water splashed, and her whole body was drenched. Although she probably wasn't cold, the people below really didn't feel good when they looked at it. Chiri Says:
"If you strengthen the barrier, you also need to find a way to solve the Gu poison and the pest at the same time. If you can clean up these two big troubles in a short period of time, it doesn't matter if the barrier can't be saved. β
"Your thinking is right, we seem to have a lot of people, if you worry about all aspects, you must not be able to do anything." Shanhai looked at Chi Li and said, "You...... Hmm, it's better for you to support Ye Yuejun with Mu Wan and deal with them. Your sword skills and umbrella skills are suitable for close-range combat, Mo Liang and I are trying to find a way to use the Yin Yang Technique to crack the Gu Technique in other places. β
"Dao Chief, you don't have to take care of us." Chi Li looked at him seriously, "I know you probably think that if we don't confront the enemy personally, we will be unwilling. You also know that even the height of the heaven and the earth is not easy to say. β
"I do mean that, but I don't think so, so I ......"
Although Mu Wan's hand was holding the umbrella, listening to their words, he did not act rashly for the time being. Chiri interrupted him and said:
"You and Liang Qiu have cooperated for a long time, and Xiao Liang and I also know each other's paths, and it is more efficient to cooperate with each other. I'll go with him to help Ye Yuejun, Mo Liang has fought with that monster and knows some routines. Liangqiu has a lot of Shikkai, which should be of great help in stopping those little monsters. The one who can really destroy them may only be able to count on Ye Yuejun, and we must protect her. β
"I can do it too." Mo Liang said seriously, "I'm really ......"
"Is it okay to do that?" Dai Luan glanced at Mu Wan, "What she said also makes sense, do you agree with this?" Don't make a break with Wu Yuangui, and only solve the problem as quickly as possible. β
"Of course, we should do the important things first." Mu Wan said, "What kind of thing is he from afar?" β
"Then do it." The mountains and seas slapped the board.
"Wait!"
Chi Li pulled Mo Liang and ran a few steps, and Mu Wan suddenly recalled Hanshui Ji and turned her back into a spell and handed it to Mo Liang.
"You know how to use ......"
"Okay."
After this entrustment, there were only three people left. Shan Hai sighed lightly: "If the magic weapons are sufficient, it will be much easier to invite the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder to purify the Heavenly Venerable, and destroy them." Forget it, it's useless to talk about it......"
The mountains and seas waved the dust and recited the incantations that Dai Luan had heard or had never heard, and the yellow and white rune paper floated in the air, turning into sharp blades and piercing the black and oppressive sky.
"Can you really please?"
Mu Wan said and opened the umbrella. Shiraoji jumped lightly onto the umbrella and flew upwards against the night sky. The fluttering white fluff was scattered in all directions, and only a few of them could stain the bats. When they get entangled in the fluff, they suddenly can't flap their wings neatly, and they fall one after another. Seeker rushes up and severs them with his tail blade. But that's not enough.
"Yes, I said he could!"
Dai Luan interjected, her eyes motionless as she looked at the swarm of bats. There were very few falls, and she was in a hurry. Losing the Peachwood Sword, she knew she could only watch. Dai Luan glanced back behind her, and the small piece of scenery leading to the outside became thin, perhaps because the barrier was beginning to dilute. She looked down at her hands, then at the barrier.
Before, it was ...... What kind of feeling is it?
