Chapter Twenty-Five: Revisiting the Old Place
It was obviously a soft whisper, but it was like a heavy punch falling on Leng Changxi's heart, and suddenly, there seemed to be a huge force pulling him out of this series of memories.
"Changxi?" Qin Yunuan hurriedly supported Leng Changxi, who was a little crumbling, she had known Leng Changxi for so long, she had never seen Leng Changxi look so flustered.
Beads of sweat oozed from Leng Changxi's forehead, and he quickly inhaled in a big gulp.
"What did you see, Changxi?" Qin Yunuan was a little worried, saying that this fluorescent lake was strange, Qin Yunuan was also afraid that Leng Changxi would be confused by some phantoms in this lake, and then thought like that group of crazy soldiers, he couldn't pull it back, but fortunately, Leng Changxi still consciously raised his hand to wipe his sweat, he turned his head to Qin Yunuan, and said gently: "I'm fine." โ
Seeing that Leng Changxi was safe and sound, Wan Yansu and Lu Wuyi behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, Leng Changxi was their backbone and could not be lost.
The sun has gradually climbed up the mountain, the emerald green mountain seems to be plated with a layer of gold, and the blue fluorescence in the lake water has gradually disappeared, Leng Changxi raised his head and looked at the mountain peak not far away, the mountain peak is like a sword, like a huge pocket, looking down from above, it looks like a crescent moon shape, this mountain is exactly the same as the emerald green and leisurely mountain that Leng Changxi saw in the environment.
Leng Changxi called Maugham, although he was blind and did not play any role in guiding the way along the way, he was the only survivor who had entered and exited the Savage Valley after all.
"When you entered the valley seven years ago, did you go up to the mountain east of Fluorescent Lake?"
"Mountain?" Maugham raised his tone in surprise: "You don't mean that ghost mountain, do you?" โ
"Is it called Ghost Mountain?" Leng Changxi still looked at the mountain, "Or, is it called Crescent Mountain?" โ
"I don't know the real name" Maugham shook his head, "The name of this ghost mountain was given by us, because we were greedy for shortcuts at that time to take this mountain road, who knew that this ghost mountain is not only gloomy, but also, there really seem to be ghosts in it." โ
"Nonsense, where are ghosts in this world?" Wan Yansu scolded Maugham, because Yasu was by his side, he didn't want Yasu to feel scared, "Even if there is, our sun god will protect us." โ
"How can there be any sun god" Leng Changxi's lazy tone was a little mocking, he looked at the mountain tip in the distance, "If there is really a god blessing, those few people in your team will not die." โ
Wan Yan was stunned for a moment, but Leng Changxi turned his head, his tone was firm, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation: "I'm going to that mountain." โ
Lu Wuyi was surprised: "But that's not our correct route, we should have gone in the southeast direction, who knows what will be in the east, what if there are really ghosts?" โ
"You can go first, I'll go for a trip, and I'll catch up with you."
Wan Yan was puzzled: "Tuoba Gongzi, what reason do you have to go there?" โ
Leng Changxi turned around and said something equivalent to what he didn't say: "A very important reason;
ใ โ
After Yan Su choked up, he replied wordlessly, and before he could speak, Acha on the side had already patted his chest and stood up and said: "Tuoba Gongzi, if you want to go, I will be with you, Lao Tzu's life is yours." โ
Leng Changxi glanced at Atcha's sworn face: "No need." Compared with Leng Changxi, the children and wife of the Atcha family need him to go back alive.
"Changxi." Qin Yunuan stepped forward and took Leng Changxi's hand, "I'll accompany you." โ
Leng Changxi didn't speak, just groaned, he didn't know whether he should let Qin Yunuan accompany him to take this risk, the purpose was just to prove the truth of an illusion, but to leave Qin Yunuan by Wan Yansu's side, and stay with this Yasu, who had always been hostile to Qin Yunuan, Leng Changxi couldn't do it.
"That's it," Wan Yan frowned, and made a decision, "Acha, you lead your team to follow Tuoba Gongzi to the Ghost Mountain, we set off towards the path on the map, when you are ready to set off towards the team, use huรกng'sรจ fireworks to report the message, and we will wait for you in place for two hours." โ
The meaning of Wan Yan Su's words is that if it is more than two hours, he will not pay attention to these stragglers anymore, and also, in a place like the Savage Valley, where there is no mercy in eating people, staying means death.
Atcha had quite a prestige in the army, and after a while, four of his team of thirteen people voluntarily stood up and entered the Ghost Mountain with Leng Changxi, and the others, Acza was not embarrassed.
"It's just" Seeing a small team separate from the team, Wan Yansu tactfully made a request: "The lives of so many of us are in my hands, I don't dare to joke casually, Mrs. Tuoba, I think the map?" โ
Last night, Qin Yunuan had already put together all the four maps, as long as he had the map, Wan Yansu only needed to be careful, maybe he could keep his life and go to the place where endless treasures were hidden.
Wan Yansu stretched out his hand towards Qin Yunuan, obviously asking for the life-saving map.
Wanyansu and Leng Changxi had friction between the two forces, and the day they set off from Beidi Dadu was destined to finally part ways and fight each other, but they didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly and so quickly.
"Nature." Unexpectedly, Qin Yunuan just smiled lightly, and naturally took out four maps from a purse with national characteristics on his waist, and the serial number had been carefully indicated, "This is the map, Your Highness, we can go now." โ
Wan Yansu raised his head slightly, and his always elegant face actually showed a bit of yin and smugness that was extremely inconsistent with his temperament: "Naturally, you guys, go early and return early." โ
The words "go early and return early" are like irony.
Watching the big team gradually move away, Atcha looked at the strange ghost mountain in the distance, took a deep breath, and said to Leng Changxi: "Master Tuoba, let's go." โ
"You don't have to go with me, and if you go, you will die in vain." Leng Changxi's attitude was very resolute, "Before the team has gone far, go back." โ
Acha is very determined: "Even if you follow everyone, you will not escape death, and Tuoba Gongzi, you are not just going alone, you also take Madame, if Madame has any accidents, how bad, a few of us, at least we can protect Madame." โ
Talking about things with Qin Yunuan, who Leng Changxi was most worried about, really made Leng Changxi's heart soften, he didn't say anything, just looked in the direction of Crescent Mountain, and said softly: "Let's go;
ใ โ
Today's Crescent Mountain, but now it is called Ghost Mountain, maybe because of this name, walking here feels the wind gusting, the branch suddenly hung on the white yarn that binds Qin Yunan's eyes, and outlines the white yarn with a finger length opening, Qin Yunuan is troublesome, Suo Xing took off the white yarn, a pair of clear and bright water spirits, like a jewel in the desert, and took everyone's attention at once.
"So Mrs. Tuoba, your eyes." Acha was on Qin Yunuan's left side and was responsible for protecting Qin Yunuan's safety, and he was really surprised when faced with such a scene.
"My eyes have been healed for a long time, or rather, I have never been blind, because of this white veil, I can see more clearly, see clearly the good and bad of people's hearts, and see clearly what is true and what is false." Qin Yunuan replied very calmly, for these people, Qin Yunuan does not need to hide it, firstly, since they are willing to risk their lives to accompany Leng Changxi here, they have enough will, and secondly, they can come in now, but they may not be able to get out alive.
Atcha and the other four people were all very embarrassed, this seemingly weak Qin Yunuan could hide such a secret for so long, and he also hid it from everyone.
Before I knew it, I had already walked into the depths of the Crescent Mountain, and the wind seemed to be cooler, with some biting smell.
Suddenly, Leng Changxi stopped, his keen senses quickly caught a trace of strange breath in the air, and sure enough, a black figure immediately flashed through the trees, shuttling faster than lightning.
"Someone!" Atcha immediately shouted, and the rest of the people immediately made a defensive posture, almost subconsciously, everyone surrounded Qin Yunuan in the middle, as a key object of protection.
"Over there." Leng Changxi pointed in the southeast direction, Atcha immediately took out the short bow crossbow in his sleeve, shot at the black shadow, and actually missed, Atcha Xingzi was in a hurry, and hurriedly wanted to shoot the second shot, just when Leng Changxi was shouting "stop", the short crossbow was already out of the sheath, Leng Changxi struggled to throw the spear in his hand, and with a bang, the spear pierced directly into an old locust tree surrounded by two people, and Acha's short crossbow was impartially concentrated on the spear head, and it fell to the ground with a crisp clang.
Just when Atcha was surprised, Leng Changxi turned his head and said coldly: "She is a woman." โ
After speaking, I saw the black figure flash into the dense forest quickly.
In this wilderness, the valley of savages full of traps, the most terrifying ghost mountain in this valley, there is actually a woman living, looking at her dress does not look like a person from the local tribe, but the strange thing is that this woman's familiarity with this crescent mountain is by no means ordinary, otherwise it would not be so elusive.
"How does Tuoba know that she is a woman?" Atcha took a deep breath, and the black thing just now suddenly rushed out, which really startled him, "Maybe it's a female ghost?" By the way, the one named Maugham didn't mean that they had encountered ghosts here when they came seven years ago, and it was also pitch black. โ
Leng Changxi stared carefully in the direction where the female hot left: "She has slender limbs and dexterous movements, she is either a woman or a monkey, but have you ever seen that monkey wearing shoes?" Although her shoes and clothes were messed up, she would do her best to keep them as they were, and even when she ran away, she did not forget to lift the hem of her skirt, which must have been excellently educated. โ
"Not only that," Qin Yunuan picked up a delicate azalea on the ground, "This fell from that black shadow, this kind of azalea is only available at the foot of the mountain, it seems that this woman came down to pick azaleas on purpose, it seems that she not only has a good upbringing, but also loves beauty very much?" โ
