Ling Yi's efficiency is still good, in one day, he collected three maps, Qiu Jue had only seen this kind of map in some museums before.

There are no obvious marks, and it is very rough.

Qiu Jue carefully asked them what these marks meant.

For example, rivers, mountains, and quicksand, dangers, and so on.

After Qiu Jue understood this, he hand-painted one by himself, and the three days passed in a flash.

Before leaving, she went to see the so-called master again, but still did not see the man.

Rejecting Ling Yi's idea of following, Qiu Jue took the lark into the realm of Lingnan.

Half a month later, they have arrived in the hinterland of Lingnan and have seen more and more people.

The people here are different from the outside world in that they don't build houses and live in treehouses.

The humidity here is so heavy that it is impossible to survive on the ground at all, and there are water stains when you lift the ground.

Of course, there are also very dry places where there is no grass growing at all.

For some reason, the closer she got to the hinterland, Qiu Jue had a strange feeling, as if she had heard of this kind of geology.

But I can't be sure.

That night, they stayed in a small village, and the local people were very welcoming, and they heard that they were from Shengjing, and their expressions were very pious.

Qiu Jue tried to inquire about the saintess.

She had heard from the people of Urado that there was news among the tribe that they were going to choose a saint.

That's why Uraldo rushed back in such a hurry, thinking that this so-called holy woman was very important.

But Qiu Jue has come all the way, but he has not received any news about this.

"The saints have been chosen, don't you know?" This is an old woman, with a wrinkled face, and she is very old with her body bent, but her cloudy eyes are sharp.

Qiu Jue secretly screamed that it was not good, this old woman was obviously suspicious of their identity.

If one doesn't say it well, he will die without a place to be buried.

And the lark, who was standing behind her and played the role of a dumb maid along the way, had quietly touched the hilt of the sword at her waist with her hand, thinking that if she killed people now, she could take her master away safely.

This place is full of mystery, this secret forest they broke into by accident, but it is not actually on the route they are going to take.

Before leaving, Qiu Jue researched three routes by himself, and finally vetoed the other two while walking, and this one came here, and it became a dead end.

Who would have thought that an accident caused them to fall directly into this secret forest.

The people of the village were very enthusiastic, but also strange, except for this old woman, no one else spoke.

Qiu Jue's mind turned, and he explained, "Grandma doesn't know, we went out with the young priest to do errands, and we only returned recently, the young priest took the first step, and we are returning at this moment, this is not without being out of the clan, and we took the wrong way to get here." ”

The old woman's eyes were even more puzzled, "Are you the people next to the young priest?" ”

Before Qiu Jue could nod, the old man continued to speak: "Then why have I never seen you?" ”

Qiu Jue was speechless, is this still an acquaintance?

The lark saw that her master could no longer make it up, and she was already planning to do it.

Listening to Qiu Jue's mouth, he said very calmly: "What? Grandma also knows the young priest? ”

"Of course." The old woman only said this, obviously she didn't say anything.

Qiu Jue smiled dumbly and said, "I didn't expect that in such a remote place, there are people I know in Uradour, didn't grandma stay in Shengjing?" ”

As soon as the three words of Urado came out, the doubts in the old woman's eyes suddenly disappeared, "The girl is right, the old woman, I did stay in Shengjing for a while, and it was also in that waiting for a little bit of the favor of the young priest. ”

When she said this, she indirectly explained her understanding of Ulardo.

Qiu Jue and the two stayed in the tree house, and in the middle of the night, the lark planned to go out to investigate the situation, Qiu Jue asked her to be careful and lay down again.

The treehouses they live in are more than three meters above the ground, and there are rope ladders to climb up and down again, which is how people live on weekdays.

The lark went out for a short time and came back after a while.

"How?"

Qiu Jue was a little nervous, and the lark noticed that her expression was wrong, so she asked, "What's wrong with Niangniang?" ”

She made sure that there was no one around, so she reassured Qiu Jue and said.

"Someone has just come, and they all arrived at the door, but they didn't come in."

Qiu Jue naturally didn't dare to sleep in a strange place, especially when the lark was not around.

She was just heading in the direction of the doorway, and she hadn't noticed anyone climbing the rope ladder until the person's head was reflected on the door with the moon, and the shadow was so obvious that she couldn't ignore it.

Then another man appeared and said something to the man, and the man slowly climbed down.

"I'm sure it's the old woman who came up last."

Qiu Jue probably told the lark about the matter, and the lark was shocked, although he knew that there was no one else in this place at the moment, he still leaned on the side of the door and looked out.

Only the mottled trees swayed, swaying back and forth like ghosts, and nothing else.

Especially at this time of the day, when everyone should go to sleep.

But what scared her was that the old woman didn't live in the same tree with them, so when did she appear here?

If it weren't for that person, Qiu Jue wouldn't have found out at all.

If you go out by yourself, is it in the eyes of others?

If so, Niangniang will definitely be in danger now......

"Let's go!"

Qiu Jue didn't know that at this moment, the lark had already thought so much, and she was about to ask the lark what she had found, so she was pulled away.

Qiu Jue hurriedly motioned for her to let go, "What are you doing?" ”

"You can't stay here, even if our identities are not revealed, but the old woman left before us, the slave and maid watched her go elsewhere before leaving, but when did she go to the tree house, the slave and maid don't know, you don't know, so, maybe she already knows our whereabouts, and if you stay here, the slave is afraid that she will be unfavorable to you......"

When there were people along the way, the lark had always played the role of a dumb person, but now that he suddenly said so many words, Qiu Jue was still a little unaccustomed to it.

However, she still pulled the lark back first, "Don't talk yet, or our identities will really be exposed." ”

The lark was really anxious, and now that he understood it, he immediately calmed down.

"But either way, you and the slave maid get out of here first."

The people and things here are full of weirdness, and she is not sure that she can take Qiu Jue away safely.

"No, if we leave now, it's really empty-hearted."

Qiu Jue's voice was very small, "You talk about it first, what you learned." ”

The lark frowned, knowing that he couldn't persuade his master, calmed down again, and said: "The terrain here is very complicated, there are about a hundred families, all of whom live here, and behind this is a mountain range. ”

"We don't think we've seen such a large area of mountains on the map."

Qiu Jue thought for a while, the terrain here was a mountain range on the map, inconspicuous, and there were no tribes.

She chalked it up to the fact that outsiders couldn't know everything about it in detail.

"Niangniang, let's leave this alone, we have already inquired about this way, the detoxification holy hand is in Shengjing, let's leave tomorrow!"

She hadn't found Niangniang so inquisitive before!

For some reason, she remembered Li Jingzhi's relieved expression when she heard that Niangniang was not walking with him.

Qiu Jue nodded in response, let her sleep quickly, and lay down on her side.

She secretly wondered about things in her heart, and slept until dawn.

The chirping of birds outside woke them up from their sleep and stretched their waists, the lark, who had turned from a secret guard to a maid, was used to it, she had already prepared things for washing, and when she saw Qiu Jue wake up, she went over to wait.

Qiu Jue washed up casually, and the voice of the old woman came from outside.

The lark went to look at the door and begged her to leave here with his eyes, Qiu Jue nodded, which was regarded as a promise.

As a result, the old woman came in and first asked them if they slept well at night, and then without waiting for Qiu Jue to speak, she proposed to let them stay for two more days, saying that there was a child here who was going to get married, and invited them to eat and drink.

Qiu Jue agreed with a smile, and then asked some questions and taboos, and took the lark down the tree house and came to the mountain range.

There's a river here that stretches for an unknown amount of time, and it flows into the same mountain range.

Qiu Jue lowered her head and looked at herself in the water, most of the year has passed, she is no longer what she used to be, this Qiu Jue's appearance is more gorgeous, and now although she has not applied powder, she is still very beautiful.

She and the lark were playing in the water here, and a few little girls came running, but they had never seen them, so they were a little afraid.

Qiu Jue put aside the lark, walked up to a few little girls, looked at the forks in their hands, and asked them in Lingnan if they could teach her to catch fish.

The girl thought she was very good-looking, and she spoke in a good voice, so she asked her if she was a guest picked up by Grandma Ulla?

Only then did Qiu Jue know that the old woman's surname turned out to be Ula.

For some reason, she instantly thought of the young priest Urado.

Originally, she thought that the names of the people here were so strange, but now that she thinks about it, this Ulla turned out to be a surname.

Qiu Jue didn't dare to ask more, she knew that her actions would definitely fall into the eyes of those people, and every question she asked would be known by the old woman.

If she senses that something is wrong, she will definitely kill them.

Therefore, Qiu Jue just nodded and asked them to teach her to spearfish, she had never done such a thing in her two lives, it was very fresh.

Although the children said that she was stupid, the little girls were still very enthusiastic to teach her.

The time of noon passed in a flash, Qiu Jue only caught one fish, and still picked up a ready-made one, and his mood was not beautiful.

So, when the little girls saw that she was unhappy, they invited her to their house for dinner, and said that their mother's cooking was delicious.

The last few little girls also grabbed it.

Qiu Jue hurriedly told them that she would stay here for a few more days to participate in a girl's marriage ceremony.

"That's my sister."

One of the little girls was very happy, and immediately pulled Qiu Jue to her house.

The other little girls followed, and the lark was completely transparent, but she was mute, so it didn't matter if no one cared, and immediately followed her to a treehouse.
