Returning to the foot of Tiandao Mountain, Chu Junlan found that the situation on the mountain had changed dramatically in the three days she had been away.

At the foot of the mountain, 3,000 battalions were still stationed in place, but no one had entered the mountain to search. Cheng Zhixian and the local errand men have already left.

Looking at their appearance, they had completely given up the search and completely believed that Xiao Xu had become an immortal.

Chu Junlan was angry in her heart, too lazy to tell them about the delay, what these people were thinking, she couldn't be clearer, it was nothing more than the law not to blame the public, even if the prince really "became an immortal", the emperor would not behead all of them for the sake of a prince.

Prince Gong will not do this for his son, that is touching the scales of the Son of Heaven.

I can't say it, Prince Gong lost his son, and he will express his gratitude to Tiandao with great fanfare, he has a son who has become an immortal, how famous it should be.

Chu Junlan suppressed his anger and met with Huo Yeqing, who was waiting at the bottom of the mountain with a scruffy beard.

"Is the mountain guarded all the time?"

"Yes. Third Miss, we have been taking turns to stay where we are, and we have not seen anyone enter or leave. ”

"Silence, right?"

"Nope."

"Very good," Chu Junlan nodded, "What has happened to the Zong family these days?" ”

"Third Miss, the Zong family is still the same, the court does not allow believers to go up the mountain, and it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people, and the master of the sect also came forward to persuade the people and help the local magistrate."

Chu Junlan sneered: "He is a person who understands righteousness. ”

"The subordinates also feel that this sect master is very problematic, but since that day, the sect's courtyard has been increased by thirty percent, and the patrolling people have been in waves, in order not to startle the snake, the subordinates have not dared to act indiscriminately."

"I know," Chu Junlan turned to look at Xia Zhenyan, "Young Master Xia, please come with us." ”

"Okay." Xia Zhenyan nodded.

Huo Yeqing respectfully bowed his hand to Xia Zhenyan, and then walked in front to lead the way. Chu Junlan followed, Xia Zhenyan's movements were the slowest, wrapped in a dark blue cotton cloak, and he followed slowly with his hands.

is obviously a vigorous young man, but now, his steps are lazy and slow.

Chu Junlan and Huo Yeqing were anxious, and their steps were fast, but if they were not careful, they were about to shake Xia Zhenyan away.

Knowing that he was loose-minded, it was clear that he was begging others to help save people, and Chu Junlan was not so dissatisfied, so he had to persuade him with good words: "Young Master Xia, please hurry up." ”

"Hey, okay." promised in his mouth, but he acted like a seventy-year-old man, and he couldn't see that he had such treacherous skills.

Huo Yeqing was almost angry and sweaty by Xia Zhenyan's slow speed.

But Xia Zhenyan persuaded them in turn: "Don't worry, what are you anxious about, I've been trapped for more than ten days, and it's not too late." ”

Having said that, the closer he got to the back mountain, the more anxious Chu Junlan became, and he only hated that he didn't have ribbed wings and flew over directly, Xia Zhenyan was so abrasive that Chu Junlan wanted to beat him up.

When it was easy to climb the back mountain, Jing Yu and a few guards were guarding a small bonfire to keep warm.

"Third Miss!" As soon as they saw Chu Junlan coming, Jing Yu and the others all stood up and gathered around Chu Junlan.

"Third Miss, you're back!"

"It's really hard for you to stay here in such a cold and harsh environment."

"Third Miss, what you say, this is what we should do."

"Who, Third Miss, the prince is not there, it is a dereliction of duty on our part, even if I lose my life, I should lose my life."

When a few people were gossiping, Xia Zhenyan had already turned his hand behind the group and took a serious look.

Chu Junlan's heart sank, and he hurriedly walked closer and asked softly: "Young Master Xia, is there a formation here?" ”

"It's true, and it seems that it really has some relationship with the formations on our mountain, but these are just very rudimentary and simple, just like the one you were last time, the purpose is to make people get lost."

Xia Zhenyan said, he broke a branch, and he didn't see which place he moved, Chu Junlan originally looked at the position that he felt a little distorted, and the strange sense of distortion disappeared, and behind the bushes that were covered in a thicket, a cave suddenly appeared!

Everyone who had never seen such skills was already stunned at this time.

"Is there really a problem here?"

Chu Junlan didn't care about it so much, and rushed towards the cave quickly.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly followed, exclaiming: "Third Miss, be careful!" ”

The entrance to the cave is only accessible by bending down, and taller ones are more laborious. Chu Junlan went inside, while observing carefully, there was no fishy smell of animals in the air, and he could feel the breeze in his face, it seemed that there was an exit in the cave.

Chu Junlan wanted to call Xiao Xu a few times, but in the case of unknown circumstances, she was afraid that she would startle the snake if she rashly made a sound, so she had to purse her lips and endure it.

The further you go inside, the more spacious the cave becomes, and by the end you can straighten your back, and you can see a light in front of you, and if there is an exit in the depths of the cave, this cave is like a tunnel, it leads to another place!

Chu Junlan came out of the exit, and the bright snow couldn't open his eyes.

At this moment, a hoarse voice full of surprise came from not far away.

"Qingqing?"

"Shizi?"

Chu Junlan gradually opened his eyes, and what he saw was an oval-shaped flat land, with thick fallen leaves under the snow, and a few coniferous trees, the four walls were cliffs, looking up, he could only see one side of the sky, Xiao Xu was wearing the big clothes they came, his face was pale and thin, his hair was scattered, his face was full of stubble, he was unprecedentedly sloppy, and he was sitting against the mountain wall guarding a small bonfire.

"You're here!" Chu Junlan was overjoyed, rushed over regardless of it, and hugged him.

Xiao Xu's face was still in shock, as if he couldn't believe that Chu Junlan had found him, and seeing Xia Zhenyan, Jing Yu, Huo Yeqing and others coming out of the cave in turn, Xiao Xu muttered, "So is that the exit there?" ”

Chu Junlan was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand and asked, "Yes, that's the exit, didn't you find a hole there before?" ”

Xiao Xu smiled bitterly: "I'm almost frozen here, if I know it's a hole, I can't hide in it." ”

Chu Junlan hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, stuffed the green pill inside into Xiao Xu's mouth, and then turned back to ask Jingyu, "Did you bring anything to eat?" ”

"Bring, bringing!"

Jingyu touched a handful of tears, and hurriedly handed over a piece of cake in his arms, and Huo Yeqing also untied the water bladder on his waist and offered it with both hands.

Xiao Xu took the cake and ate it in a few bites, even though his eating demeanor was still elegant, he could see that he was really hungry.

Chu Junlan looked at the enclosed environment around him and said, "How did you get here?" How did you survive these days? ”

Xiao Xu smiled bitterly: "There is no shortage of water to eat here, and the snow on the ground is enough." When I was uncomfortable, fortunately I still had those pills you gave me, and occasionally caught hares and wild sparrows, but I was knocked down from above, and with my light skills, I couldn't fly off the cliff at all. ”

"Someone knocked you down?" Chu Junlan was furious, "Are you from the Zong family?" ”

Xiao Xu nodded, and said with a straight face: "I have found the secret of Zong Mohan's immortality." ”
