Chapter 82: Night Walk in the Mountain Stream
Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen stood on a high place, overlooking the light of the fires outside the mountain gate—the torches of the guards and the lanterns of the palace people.
The lantern that Xiao Qi and Du Weifeng were holding slowly descended along the mountain road until it joined the large army.
"I really don't understand Your Majesty sometimes," Feng Yan leaned on the railing, gently supporting her face, "Do you have to send Junjun up at this time?" If there is any accident on the road of the Junjun, then the Cen family and the eldest princess's mansion will not count all this account on my head. ”
"Since it was the eldest princess's mansion who took the initiative to make a request, it can be seen that I am still afraid of whether you are really willing to forgive." Wei Xingzhen said in a low voice, "The matter of the martyrs is now a step away, Your Majesty may ...... It's just pushing the boat down the river. ”
Feng Yan's eyes darkened.
Truly.
Weekdays' favor is favor, but at such a critical juncture today, people like Junjun are inevitably pushed to the front by others.
I don't know, can she think of this layer herself?
Feng Yan sighed lightly and looked at Wei Xingzhen, "When are we leaving?" ”
"When does Yan want to leave?"
"Everything."
"Now then." Wei Xingzhen said softly, "Go early and return early." ”
Feng Yan nodded, "Then let's go lead the horse now-"
"No, you don't." Wei Xingzhen stretched out her hand to block Feng Yan, "It's not safe to ride down the mountain at night." ”
"Lord Wei is trying to ......"
Before Feng Yan finished speaking, she saw Wei Xingzhen stretching out her hand towards her.
"I have a faster way." Wei Xingzhen said in a low voice.
Feng Yan hesitated a little, but still curiously held Wei Xingzhen's outstretched hand—and in the next moment, Wei Xingzhen grabbed her and jumped out of the fence of Tianji Palace.
The sound of the wind in my ears suddenly became louder!
Beyond the fence of Tianji Palace, there was a near-vertical cliff, Wei Xingzhen jumped and flew among the raised rocks of the cliff, Feng Yan hugged his neck tightly.
For a moment, she suddenly remembered the night when she watched the lanterns by Luoshui.
At that time, Yin Shiyun and Wulang slid directly down from the height like this - Feng Yan practiced for a long time with the ability to resist the wind, but he never got the essentials. And both of them are spiritually proficient, and some of them have their own talents to learn.
And today, under the dim moonlight, in the oncoming mountain stream and strong wind, Feng Yan once again felt indescribable freedom.
Something like a bird jumping in the woods hasn't happened since the last time you killed the pseudo-luan.
Such an opportunity is always available to Feng Yan, because not every monster has as much demonic energy as a pseudo-luan, abundant enough to lift Feng Yan to come and go freely in the air.
However, if there was one thing that surprised her the most tonight, it was that night flights weren't at the top of the list at the moment.
What shocked her the most tonight was Wei Xingzhen's determination in this matter again.
He seemed sure she wouldn't panic—and it was.
"Lord Wei!" In the midst of the wind, Feng Yan unconsciously raised her voice.
"What?"
Feng Yan raised her hand and pointed to an ancient tree growing in the gap between the cliffs in the distance, "Can you go to the tree over there - stop for a while!" ”
The unknown rugged path on the cliff, the clear lake like cold jade in the distance, she wanted to stop and take a good look.
Wei Xingzhen didn't speak, but quickly adjusted her direction.
In the mountains and forests at night, he was like a swooping eagle, leading Feng Yan towards the destination.
The wind ruffled the hem of their garments and made the sound of hunting as the flag fluttered.
……
At this time, there is still more than an hour in the ion time, and the incense under the mountain temple is still flourishing, and there are more and more mountain people who spontaneously come to celebrate the birthday of Daxian.
The temple at the top of the hill was still empty, and the old man during the day was carefully inspecting each room and locking the door from the outside after making sure that no one was there.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear something overhead.
The old man turned his head at the sound, but only saw the shadows of the trees swaying gently not far away.
Oh, is it the wind?
"Uncle Zhang!" A young man hurried from the front yard, "There are too many people down there, I can't drive them away!" ”
Uncle Zhang snorted in disgust, "I don't see such piety on weekdays, I heard that we dare to set up an ancestral hall here, so I came to celebrate the birthday of the immortal......"
"So what now?"
"Shangxian said, as long as you don't let people enter this mountain temple tonight, you go to the bottom of the mountain road and sprinkle lime on the steps, and tell them that it's okay to celebrate their birthday, but if you cross the line, you will make Shangxian unhappy, and you will bear the consequences!"
"Then the two living sacrifices will come in the evening—"
"You don't have to worry about it," said Uncle Zhang, "when the hour comes, I will personally go down and fetch them." ”
“…… But Uncle Zhang, I, I don't think those people are dressed and talked like ordinary people, and I heard that His Majesty sent some people to Tianji Palace this afternoon, I'm afraid—"
Uncle Zhang took the cigarette gun in his hand and smashed it on the young man's head, "I see that your brain is rusty!" Will the people from the palace run to our little temple! ”
The young man held his head in his hands and reacted, "Why not, we are so spiritual." ”
The old man glared at him, "The nobles in the imperial city are all above the top, and it's too late to sprinkle silver in those pagodas and Taoist temples, they will only treat us as crooked and heretical!" And I asked when they came in the afternoon, and the two girls were the daughters of merchants in Chang'an, because my sister was not in good health, so she came to seek medical treatment. ”
"Oh...... Such. ”
The old man stroked his beard and laughed twice, "It's also my luck, I've been looking for that sword for several years, where did I think it would be delivered to the door today-it can be seen that God can't help but give us a gift for the third thousand birthday." ”
"That'...... Then the immortals will be able to bless us again tomorrow? ”
"That must be easy to say," the old man smiled, "you do your errand tonight first, and tomorrow the immortal blessing will be indispensable for your benefits." ”
"Huh." The young man nodded again and again, ran away a few steps energetically, and suddenly braked, "I finished sprinkling lime for a while, Uncle Zhang, do you still need someone to help here?" ”
"No," Uncle Zhang waved his hand, "you go and tell the rest of the people down there not to go near the temple tonight." When I lock all these doors, I'll have to get out of here. ”
"Understood!"
This conversation reached the ears of Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen in the high place word for word.
Between the mottled shadows of the trees, Feng Yan saw that the old man had locked the last door in the guest house, and then slowly retreated through the side door.
Feng Yan sighed softly.
These people are too easy to deceive.
She doesn't think about the Taoism of this "immortal" for three thousand years, but I'm afraid that it is not even three hundred years......
There was only one thing to be wary of - she had never seen a monster so young and so pure in demonic spirit before.
It can be seen that the origin of this demon, or the bloodline, does have a great origin.
Feng Yan thought about it, and suddenly looked at Wei Xingzhen, "Lord Wei, do you want to avoid it for a while?" ”
"Huh?" Wei Xingzhen was a little strange, "Why." ”
Feng Yan pondered and said, "I'm afraid that if a wave hits you—"
"No, it won't." Wei Xingzhen laughed, "Ah Yan just follow her own ideas, I don't have any problems." ”
