Chapter 9: Into the Mountains and in Distress
Mangcang Mountain Range is located in the southwest of Longhua Kingdom, stretching for thousands of miles, with layers of mountains and mountains, miasma and forest, retaining the most primitive ecology of nature.
This is not only a paradise for plants, trees and animals, but also a dangerous place for ordinary people.
The aisle into the mountain is always a busy scene, with all kinds of supplies and mountain goods displayed on the stalls on both sides, vehicles carrying supplies from the trading houses coming and going, and warriors busy forming teams and shouting endlessly.
The Lin family relied on the Mangcang Mountains at their backs, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and their ancestors also made a fortune by operating medicinal materials, animal skins and animal bones, etc., and later gradually cultivated their children to enter the sect to cultivate, and transformed into a small family of cultivating immortals, which can be regarded as one of the richest families in Jiuxing Town.
Lin Lan lowered her felt hat, dressed as an ordinary martial artist, and was not eye-catching. She carefully avoided the crowd, especially the Lin family guard where Lin Yi'er was, and in the blink of an eye, she threw herself into the towering mountains and forests and disappeared.
In order to bypass Lin Yier's team, she chose a shortcut in her memory.
There were not too many waves along the way, Lin Lan's foundation was firmly established, and after a year of formal cultivation after the spiritual test, he introduced the spiritual qi into the body, accumulated thick and thin, and had already entered the third layer of qi refining, which was more than enough to deal with ordinary poisonous insects and beasts.
The children of the Lin family are not all flowers raised in the greenhouse, and while exercising their physique since childhood, many children have been sent to the shops, guards, caravans and other places in the clan to experience. Lin Lan has followed his second uncle's caravan into the mountains to see the world since he was a child, and in order to sharpen his tenacious character, he is no stranger to the environment on the periphery of Mangcang Mountain.
She had a clear goal, followed the map, and it only took half a day to come to the place where Qin Xiaohan was rescued in her previous life-Luoxia Valley.
The setting sun pours down through the gaps in the peaks overhead, nourishing the plants in the valley. Butterflies dance on colorful stamens, and mountain streams meander from the valley like jade, which is indescribably leisurely.
Spring and Jingming, the haze is gone. Arriving at the destination, the nervous and tired mind was relaxed, and in the embrace of nature, Lin Lan felt the freedom and comfort that had been lost for a long time. The greenery filled the sky, she tilted her head and stretched out her palms, and the setting sun shone on her face through her fingers, reflecting the fine and shallow fluff.
It's nice that the world is so alive.
She sniffled, suddenly moved, having been in the dark for so long that she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had breathed so fresh air, had not experienced the taste of such freedom.
"Everything will be fine", she reassured herself.
……
The next thing to do is to wait for the rabbit.
Lin Lan looked around, and not far from the entrance of the valley, he chose a towering tree that several people hugged and climbed up, hiding his body with the help of dense leaves, and using the advanced technique "Dead Wood Decision" that he had been lucky to get in his previous life, to properly restrain his own breath.
As for the qigong method that Lin Yi'er gave her, she had already left it in the corner.
The location is relatively safe and offers a wide view of the valley.
Although I don't know what trouble Qin Lianhan encountered in his previous life, what can seriously injure him is an existence that cannot be provoked for a rookie character like himself. She just came to clean up the battlefield and pick up a disabled person by the way, and she didn't want to die in vain.
She stroked her abdomen and sighed faintly, not to mention, Qin Lonely Han was too complicated and heavy for her. If it weren't for the last resort, she really didn't want to face him again.
As the time passed, the temperature gradually cooled, Lin Lan stayed in the tree, from the initial nervousness to the fatigue, Hacher again and again, seeing the night falling, but there was no movement.
"That's not right", she secretly wondered, calculating the time, according to the trajectory of the previous life, at this time, the person should have arrived.
"Didn't you remember the wrong place?"
Lin Lan thought about it, and shook her head again, it won't be wrong, although she can't remember many details, but this incident happened just after Lin Yi'er was sixteen years old, and it left a very deep impression on her.
Especially, when she was in the sect, Lin Yier would always show off to her fellow disciples shyly and timidly, "It's rare to go to Luoxia Valley to play, so you can save Zhenjun, presumably this is fate......"
Bah! The fate of the hell is just a calculation.
She almost heard these words with calloused ears, and she couldn't be mistaken. Settle your mind and listen carefully to what is happening around you.
A long time has passed, and the surroundings are still peaceful.
Not only was there no imaginary sign of a fight coming, seriously injured and waiting to be saved, but even Lin Yier's team was nowhere to be found.
I deliberately arrived in this valley early to guard, there shouldn't be any mistakes, right?
"Where did they go? Could it be that we have already met? The mountain wind passed through the valley, making a whining sound, Lin Lan's heart was pounding, things seemed to be out of her control, and a bad premonition arose.
No, we can't let the tragedy of the previous life happen again, and we can't let Lin Yier take the lead!
Finally, Lin Lan lost his patience, jumped off the tree, and walked out of the valley.
There was silence all around, Lin Lan panicked, and went around and around, until the night was like ink, and the stars were hanging high, but he didn't even see a single shadow.
Her sense of direction faded, and she regretted her recklessness.
Either way, she had to get back to the valley first, or find a place to stay.
In the dark night, the jungle became more dangerous, and the sound of stepping on dead branches was very clear in the forest, and Lin Lan could only follow the previous mark, deep and shallow, slowly looking for the way out.
Suddenly, there was a noise in front of her, which made her vigilant and froze.
The starlight and moonlight were blocked by the shadows of the trees, and when there was no wind, it was difficult to distinguish the five fingers when he stretched out his hand, and the grass and trees not far away were rustling, and the muffled snort of the man was faintly heard.
"Who, who's there?" She plucked up her courage and asked, and at the same time a thought arose, didn't she bump into the injured Qin Xiaohan?
The hope in her heart made her relax her vigilance, did not leave at the first time, and was about to muster up the courage to come forward to investigate, suddenly a pair of strong arms stopped her by the waist and picked her up, and then her feet were empty, and the feeling of weightlessness dizziness came, and when she came back to her senses, she had fallen into a hole in the ground.
"Who are you?" The other party was dressed in black, Lin Lan couldn't see his appearance clearly, she instinctively stepped back, and her back was against the stone wall.
The man propped his hands on the stone walls on both sides of Lin Lan's head, panting heavily, as if he was holding back some kind of emotion.
"Woman......" The man's voice was hoarse, and the scorching breath sprayed on Lin Lan's neck between his breaths, making her tremble.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Lan secretly said that it was not good, this man was not in the right state, she reached out and wanted to push him away, but it was like a catalyst, breaking the last trace of the man's sanity.
A ray of moonlight spilled from the hole above his head, and in a haze, Lin Lan met a pair of red eyes.
"You let go of me......" she came back to her senses, frightened, and struggled hard, but she couldn't move like a grasshopper shaking a tree.
The sound of the girl's pleading and pleading echoed faintly and meanderingly, mixed with the sound of the wind blowing and moving, and finally whimpered invisibly.
In the forest, the moonlight is like water.
