Chapter 97: The Strange Jialan Mountain
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Suddenly, the Void Wind shouted.
He Jun immediately stretched out his hand, but Lu Zhan, who should have been within reach, disappeared without knowing when, leaving him with nothing but a bottomless mist.
"Your Highness!" He Jun also said aloud: "Your Highness, it's gone!?" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
All the shadows and guards moved when they heard the sound, and for a while, the originally orderly team became chaotic in an instant.
"Don't panic." Chu Yu's voice fell from the sky.
In the next moment, everyone heard the sound of a long whip swinging across the earth. Then the fog, which was originally so thick that it was outrageous, gradually dispersed.
Everyone is also gradually emerging.
"Your Highness!" Looking at Lu Zhan beside Chu Yu, everyone was surprised and delighted.
Xufeng and He Jun took the lead in rushing over.
After groping up and down to confirm that Lu Zhan was really not injured, the two of them were relieved.
"Ancestor, what the hell is going on?" Void Wind was puzzled.
He had just seen Lu Zhan disappear. And He Jun obviously shouted loudly because of this.
Why was Lu Zhan by Chu Yu's side in the end?
"Someone wants to pass through the fog and take Ah Zhan away." Chu Yu briefly explained the situation, "Let's cheer up the spirit, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry forward." ”
"Yes. Ancestor. Everyone replied in unison.
Lu Zhan was tightly clasped by Chu Yu's side.
I didn't want to, not long after leaving, Lu Zhan suddenly said, "Stop!" ”
His cry made everyone pause.
"Your Highness, is there any problem ahead?" Void Wind asked.
With the experience of the past, He Jun immediately rushed to his side to escort him.
"I heard something unusual in front of me, subtle but real." After speaking, Lu Zhan held his breath and pricked up his ears more and more.
Unfortunately, he never heard anything else after that.
Chu Yu looked at him and asked, "What kind of voice is Ah Zhan, is it a beast or a man-made?" ”
For Lu Zhan, Chu Yu never doubted.
But she had led people to the Blue Mountains several times before, but she had never encountered such a situation today.
What's more, Hemon is still ahead, which can't help but make her a little worried.
"I don't know." Lu Zhan listened carefully for a moment again, and shook his head, "Old Ancestor, I can't tell the difference, this voice is very peculiar, like a roar, and like a ......."
"Like what?"
Faced with his desire to speak, Chu Yu immediately asked.
After all, whether it was the roar or the other sounds he said, Chu Yu didn't hear it.
"It's like a ghost screaming again." Lu Zhan said.
Ghost scream!?
As soon as these two words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Under the four eyes, everyone looked around, as if trying to see a clue.
Chu Yu looked even more solemn, "Everyone be careful, they all show their weapons." ”
"Also, remember to see clearly before you do it, and don't hurt your own people by mistake."
In this case, once the mess starts. Cannibalism is more likely than being hurt by an enemy.
"Yes, Ancestor."
At the same time, Lu Zhan also added, "Don't all surround me and break it into pieces." As you are usually trained, you act in small groups of three. ”
"Yes!"
For a moment, everyone was on high alert.
But what they didn't expect was that the road was very smooth. There were no traps, no fog, and no beasts or anything else had been seen.
But everyone didn't dare to relax, especially Lu Zhan.
He was sure that he had heard correctly, but how could he explain the calm of the moment?
Just when he couldn't understand it, he suddenly heard a cry of "woo~woo~woo~".
Like crying, low and ghostly.
Let everyone hear a chill down their backs, like a cold snake crawling up their spines.
"W-what's that sound?" I don't know who took the lead in asking the exit.
"No sound, keep going!" Lu Zhan and Chu Yu said this almost in unison.
The people who were originally uncertain seemed to have found confidence.
Without further ado, he really continued to maintain his formation and walked forward.
It's just that......
The sound of "whoosh" has not yet been seen by most people. Then a dark shadow flashed.
Even more surprising is ......
"Ghosts, there are ghosts!" The guard, who had just met the shadow, shouted in horror.
Although it was really wrong for the man to act like a guard, his eyes were not deceiving. He was really panicking, a panic that came from the heart.
Although the palace guards are not as good as the shadows, they are all good at one to ten.
Seeing this scene, He Jun, as the great commander, stepped forward very angrily and said, "You be sober, there is nothing here." It's just manipulation. ”
"No, it's a ghost, the Grand Commander is really a ghost, I see it. His face is ...... Grimace...... It's ......" The guard turned blue with fright, and his hands gestured anxiously.
As if he wanted to prove that he was not lying, the more he said this, the more ugly the crowd became.
"Smack."
A resounding slap fell.
The guards, who were originally restless, were silent in an instant.
Lu Zhan withdrew his hand at this time, "There are no ghosts in this world at all, there are all kinds of smoke, illusions, and blind eyes." As a palace guard, if you don't even have the guts to do this, you don't have to follow this palace anymore! ”
They are not ordinary people, and the east does not do what the west does.
What could they do if they were driven to the palace?
In the face of despair, people can always burst out with great courage. The same is true of this group of guards, who clenched their swords one by one, "Don't say there are no ghosts, even if there are real ghosts." For the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, we also have to meet gods and kill gods, and kill Buddhas when we meet Buddhas! ”
"Go to the soup for His Royal Highness, and I will not hesitate!"
After shouting, everyone returned to their peak again.
Seeing this, Lu Zhan bowed his head and said, "Go on, move forward." Remember not to panic whatever you see. ”
Disrupting the morale of the military is not unavoidable.
Lu Zhan would never allow such a thing to happen.
"Yes. Your Highness. The crowd replied in unison.
Chu Yu always knew that Lu Zhan had the ability, but he could see it today. I still couldn't help but praise, "Our Ah Zhan has really grown up." ”
Lu Zhan smiled slightly when he heard this, and then lowered his voice and said, "Old Ancestor, that black shadow is indeed strange. ”
"How strange?" Chu Yu deliberately distanced himself from the team before asking, "Could it be that Ah Zhan, you also saw the appearance of that person?" ”
Lu Zhan nodded, "See, he has a blue-red grimace and a pair of fangs." ”
The black shadow that flashed in a flash not only looked at the guard, but Lu Zhan also saw him from the angle he was.
It's just that the former was frightened and didn't know what to do, and Lu Zhan insisted on it as if nothing happened.
"Are you sure?" Chu Yu, who has lived for a hundred years, has never seen such a creature.
It makes strange noises, has a grimace, moves as fast as lightning, and has a pair of fangs.
It's just incredible.
"I'm sure, Ancestor." Lu Zhan nodded, he didn't dare to joke about such a big thing.
Both fell silent.
In the end, it was Lu Zhan who broke the silence and said, "Old Ancestor, how far are they from where we are now?" ”
Chu Yu replied: "It's not far away, we can walk for half an hour at most." ”
"Then meet them quickly. As for...... I'll talk about that later. Lu Zhan said seriously.
That thing just now was really weird, and it was friend or foe.
Only by combining Hermon's power can they have a few more chances of winning.
"Okay, let's go." Chu Yu then bowed his head, and his other hand kept clasping Lu Zhan.
Half an hour later.
Chu Yu finally met Hermon at the agreed place, but what she didn't expect was that.
There was no one but Hmon at the moment.
"Enrui, what about the others?" Chu Yu looked at everything in front of him and was puzzled.
But Hemon remained as if he hadn't heard.
What the hell is going on?
Seeing this, Chu Yu no longer lingered, but immediately wanted to walk up to the man.
didn't want Lu Zhan, but intercepted it, "Old Ancestor, something is wrong with Hemeng. ”
Chu Yu originally wanted to say that something was wrong, hadn't Hemon always been so silent.
But she didn't have time to say this yet.
I saw that Xufeng suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, Ancestor, be careful!" ”
In the next moment, Hemon, who had just been motionless, looked like a wild horse on the loose. Lightning-fast at them. If it weren't for the void wind and everyone, I was afraid that Lu Zhan would be splashed with blood on the spot.
"Enrui, what are you doing, I'm Xiaoyu." Chu Yu, looking at the sudden situation in front of him, was very stunned. While quickly protecting Lu Zhan behind him, he shouted loudly.
Hemon didn't seem to hear him, and he didn't say anything in response, and he went on a killing spree at the Void Wind.
"Old Ancestor, leave with Your Highness."
"We're running out of stopping!"
The voices of the crowd came and went, and Chu Yu's eardrums burst when she listened, but let her leave at this time.
Chu Yu couldn't do it.
But if she doesn't leave, she has nothing to do, and Lu Zhan, who has no internal breath, can't help but stand such a fierce attack.
What to do?
Just when Chu Yu was messy, Lu Zhan's voice came: "Old Ancestor, play the bone flute." ”
When Chu Yu heard this, it was like an initiation. immediately took out a small bone flute and began to play "Peach Blossom Crossing".
The song is melodious, and the song ends.
Hemon finally stopped what he was doing, but the whole person fell into a sluggish state again.
"Enrui." Chu Yu put away the flute and stepped forward to lightly cover Hermon's face with his hand.
Hmon remained unconscious.
The people who stopped the fight breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ancestor, could our people be ...... Shao Sima killed, right? Void Wind eased up and asked, holding his sword.
The rest of the people were also apprehensive, after all, Hermon's combat effectiveness was obvious to all.
If it wasn't for Chu Yu playing the flute in time just now, I am afraid that they would also be dead on the streets.
"It's not him." Chu Yu, his eyes were slightly red, and he retorted directly.
It's just that the blood on the ground, and now Hemon's dementia behavior, all no longer validate their suspicions.
Just when everyone was about to ask again, Lu Zhan opened his mouth, "Ancestor, but the people who are lost have come?" ”
If so, it would perfectly explain why their people were slaughtered.
"As far as I can see, the lost ones did not come." Chu Yu said truthfully: "Otherwise, my bone flute will not be effective." ”
After all, the bone flute in Xuan Lost's hand is the original, since they can refine Hermon. Nature can also be transformed, and once they make a move. Chu Yu had no chance of reversing.
At least not yet.
"What do you mean, Ancestor?" Lu Zhan continued to ask.
But everyone could see that the cold aura around him had risen sharply.
"In this forest, there are people who can control the puppets. In addition to me and Chu Fuyao, there is a third person. Chu Yu said with a calm expression: "As for the rest, Ah Zhan, I need some time to recover Enrui." ”
"How long?" Lu Zhan, don't ask the reason, don't ask the result.
Just choose to believe her.
"The kung fu of two pillars of incense." Chu Yu raised his eyes and replied.
"Okay." Lu Zhan nodded directly, and then ordered, "Xufeng, you take someone to protect the Dharma of the ancestors." The rest of the people gathered around in case of emergency. ”
"Yes. Your Highness. ”
Just after the two pillars of incense, there was an earth-shattering roar.
Hmon regained consciousness, but his eyes were still bloodshot.
It's terrifying in such a misty jungle.
"Enrui." Chu Yu took the lead in stepping forward.
Hermon stared at her for a moment, and the blood in his eyes faded, "Xiaoyu, I didn't kill those people. ”
Finally Hmon regained his senses.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yu nodded directly, "I know, they didn't die at your hands. But what happened? Did you encounter some ambush? ”
Otherwise, Chu Yu really couldn't believe how he could have suffered such heavy casualties.
"I don't know." Who would have thought that Hemon would reply like this.
For a while, everyone questioned it.
"Young Sima, who knows if you don't know about this?" Void Wind said bluntly.
It was not easy for them to come all the way, and they were almost killed by him just now. Now it's not an exaggeration to ask the truth.
"I really don't know." Hemon, looking at everyone's strange looks, said worriedly: "Xiaoyu, do you believe me? ”
He wasn't good at words, but he could understand.
This large group of people didn't believe him, what about Chu Yu?
"I believe it." Chu Yu nodded without hesitation, "What happened, you slowly explain clearly." Don't worry, Ah Zhan and I both believe in you. ”
After speaking, Chu Yu turned his head to look at Lu Zhan, "Is that right?" Ah Zhan. ”
Lu Zhan nodded, stepped forward and patted Hmon on the shoulder, "Yes, don't be in a hurry to speak slowly, we'll all listen." ”
After Chu Yu and Lu Zhan's affirmative answers, Hemeng was not so anxious after all.
Instead, he began to recall, "When I arrived, a group of them were already fighting each other. I never saw the object of the fight. But they all said with words like ghosts, blue-red grimaces, fangs, and strange screams. ”
If before, or even a day before.
Hearing these words, both Lu Zhan and Chu Yu would be very strange.
But now that the two just glanced at each other, Chu Yu then asked, "What about later?" How did you get out of control, remember? ”
"Later, I saw that they were simply killing each other, so I hurriedly tried to stop them. It was at this moment that a white mist suddenly floated in the sky, and I didn't react yet. I felt that it was dark in front of me, and then I was completely unconscious. Hermon said truthfully.
Lu Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you remember the scene where you just started with Xufeng and them?" ”
"So, I hurt them?" Seeing that the group of people were more or less injured, Hermon asked with some embarrassment.
Lu Zhan nodded.
Hermon said: "Prince Nanyue, I'm sorry, I don't have an impression. But I really didn't mean to hurt them. ”
Although this sounds, it is really very weak.
But Hermon really thought so.
"I believe in you. They won't blame you either. Seeing his thoughts, Lu Zhan comforted him.
Hemon, listen to him.
A little embarrassed, he looked up and glanced at the people around him. What he didn't expect was that this time there was no longer fear and doubt in everyone's eyes. On the contrary, there was a little smile on the face.
Xufeng said bluntly: "Young Sima, it's good to make things clear." Besides, we are all skin wounds, and we don't get in the way. ”
Of course, the reason why the void wind expressed its position so quickly.
In addition to really not taking this matter to heart, it is more because of the ancestors of his family.
Under Chu Yu's frosty eyes, Xufeng really didn't dare to make another attempt.
It's just that this matter has come to an end for the time being.
But......
"What about the Hidden City?" Lu Zhan asked, "Before everything happened, did they say anything about the hidden city?" ”
The reason why they hurried to Jialan Mountain was for the hidden market.
However, Hermon's reply disappointed Lu Zhan again.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, but they were already fighting each other when I came. Really...... I didn't have time to say anything about the hidden market. ”
This is definitely not what Lu Zhan wants to hear.
But at this point, Lu Zhan knew that there was no point in blaming. just waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay after all." ”
Then, his eyes turned to look at Chu Yu, "Old Ancestor, this Jialan Mountain is full of weirdness, since there will be no clues in the hidden market for a while." Why don't we go back first? ”
If his people really entered the hidden city, then as long as they can come out, they will definitely go back.
"Okay." Chu Yu, the head of the jaw.
Both of them had that thing in their hearts, and they had no objection to returning.
No, Xufeng and He Jun glanced at each other, but the two raised objections, "Your Highness, Old Ancestor, are we just going back in vain?" ”
"Since a group of people have entered the hidden city from here, no matter how bad it is, we should search the surrounding area."
He Jun also proposed: "Your Highness, the old ancestor, and your subordinates also think that it should be so. ”
It's a shame to come here and go back like this.
Moreover, Jialan Mountain has something to do with the secrets of the Emperor of Nanyue, even if it can find out some clues.
It can also make Lu Zhan not have to be too passive.
Therefore, He Jun felt that this matter should be investigated to the end.
"No need, it's getting late, let's go down before sunset." didn't want to, but Lu Zhan denied it.
In this regard, He Jun stopped talking, he has always been obedient.
Xu Feng was just about to refute, but was glared back by Chu Yu's eyes.
In the end, he had to say sullenly: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
"Woo~Woo~Woo~" However, just as they were about to leave, the strange sound sounded again.
Then there were a few "whoosh" clicks, and several black shadows poured in from all directions. And this time, there were more than one or two guards, and there were many guards who could see the front of the dark shadow clearly.
I can't help but ......
