Chapter 223: Someone Enters the Mountain
Qiushi said: "The weather is fine today, so it doesn't hurt to go for a walk in the mountains." When we get back, we will see if we can meet such mountains and if the weather is so good. The slave maid is also very curious, will there be any gods in this group of mountains? ”
Xiao Yulin said with a smile: "Whether there are immortals or not, this king does not know, anyway, this king has never met it." However, the master, this king has encountered a few. It's just that ordinary masters are reluctant to deal with outsiders. The master who this king has made friends with is only Feng Miaoshou. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Then let's go to the mountains for a walk!" Perhaps, what more adventures will there be? ”
Zhong Yuqi wanted to see if he had the luck to meet a master in the world, or if he could find any mysterious places, such as returning to the entrance to the future world.
Xiao Yulin said: "In this case, let's have breakfast first, and then go into the mountains!" ”
Subsequently, Xiao Yulin ordered someone to prepare breakfast. He also asked Jueying to go to the neighborhood to explore the way, to see where it was more appropriate to enter the mountain.
After breakfast, they entered the mountains through a path to the east.
Chunhua still didn't dare to go, so she stayed where she was on the pretext of taking care of Yanyue.
Xiao Yulin also left two guards here to watch things, and there were still a few secret guards guarding in secret, but he didn't have to worry about Chunhua's safety.
The humidity is heavy in the mountains and forests, but the air is really good. Because the sun is out again today, the fog in the mountains is also heavy. The snow in some mountain streams has not yet melted, which makes people feel cold.
Zhong Yuqi felt very comfortable while walking and breathing in the fresh air. She had that idea, if the capital really couldn't stay any longer, then she would come to this group of mountains to live in seclusion.
In this season, there are not many birds, and even in such a large mountain forest, only a few bird calls can be heard occasionally. There are no insects at this time, so the entire mountain forest is almost silent.
Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi walked side by side, looking sideways at Zhong Yuqi from time to time, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Pepper, are you tired of walking?" Xiao Yulin asked.
Zhong Yuqi didn't dare to look at Xiao Yulin, in fact, she didn't dare to look at his face, which would make her feel a little embarrassed.
Now hearing Xiao Yulin ask her, Zhong Yuqi said: "I just left, why do you say that you are tired?" ”
Xiao Yulin said: "If you feel tired, just say it earlier, and we can go back." ”
Qiu Shi said with a smile: "There is really an aura in these mountains, and the slave maid feels very comfortable!" ”
Zhong Yuqi only smiled, and it was not easy to explain the principle of photosynthesis to her, so she only said: "That's because there are many trees here, and people feel comfortable looking at these greens." ”
Qiu Shi looked at the green around him with some surprise and said, "Huh? Miss, that's true! ”
Zhong Yuqi smiled, and then said to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Wang, there is a path in this mountain forest, and it seems that people often come into the mountain. Grass grows on the path, indicating that no one has walked here for a long time. If that were the case, would it still be inhabited? ”
Xiao Yulin turned his face, looked at Zhong Yuqi with a smile, and said, "Since you are a person who has lived here for a long time, you will naturally be ready for winter." There is still a lot of snow in it that has not melted, so people think that the road in the mountains is still not walkable, so no one has come out. In addition, there is more than one way into the mountain, maybe people have come out of the mountain from somewhere else? ”
Seeing Xiao Yulin's discordant face, Zhong Yuqi hurriedly skimmed her face again and said, "I don't know how long I have to walk before I can meet the master!" ”
Xiao Yulin said: "Masters like to live in seclusion, so naturally they live in places that are not easy for people to find. Perhaps, in a cave somewhere. Perhaps, on a cliff somewhere. Or maybe it's a big tree to live in. That's all bad! ”
Turning a hill, it is a three-way intersection.
Zhong Yuqi found that there were several messy shoe prints on another intersecting path, and the shoe prints were still relatively new, and they were going to the mountains, and it seemed that there were at least three or more people.
Zhong Yuqi pointed to the ground and said, "Look, prince! Someone has gone into the mountains here. ”
Xiao Yulin had already seen the shoe prints on the ground, and only after Zhong Yuqi finished speaking, Xiao Yulin said: "Indeed! Looking at it like this, it should be about three people who only entered the mountain in the past two days. However, these are not traces of masters. ”
Zhong Yuqi said suspiciously: "Why does the prince think so? Could it be because there are only footprints in the mountain, but no footprints out of the mountain? ”
Xiao Yulin shook his head and said, "Definitely! Generally, most of the masters who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests have unique skills, and this martial art is also essential. If not, if you encounter any jackals, tigers and leopards, isn't it just to give them food? ”
Qiu Shi listened to it, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Zhong Yuqi understood what Xiao Yulin meant, nodded, and said, "The prince is right!" Look at this footprint is disorganized, and it is also a little deep, not like a master. But, as the prince said, he didn't have any effort on his body, and he definitely didn't dare to enter this deep mountain, even if he had three or five people. Who will they be? Could it be Orion? ”
Xiao Yulin said: "In spring, those beasts and cats have a winter, there is not much meat on their bodies, and the taste is also very strong, and the hunters will not come out to hunt at this time. Moreover, the beasts at this time are hungry and crazy, one is not good, and the hunter is still prone to death. Therefore, it is not cost-effective to go into the mountains to hunt at this time. ”
Zhong Yuqi frowned again and said, "Then, who could it be?" ”
Qiu Shi said: "Could it be like us, going to the mountains to play, or to visit the masters?" ”
Xiao Yulin said: "It's hard to say! Tell someone to look around and see if there's anything suspicious. ”
A voice came from nearby: "Yes! ”
Zhong Yuqi continued to walk forward, not worried that these people would be assassins. Because if someone else wants to send assassins, they are also masters of finding, and there are more than three or five people.
A quarter of an hour later, the shadow fell in front of Xiao Yulin, and said: "Lord Qiqi, on a mountain in front, the subordinates and others did not find anyone, but they found a thief hole. The cave is new, and there is still fresh dirt nearby, and there are many footprints. It seems that those are tomb robbers, taking advantage of the fine weather these days, and no one in the mountains to walk, so they went into the mountains to rob the tombs. ”
Xiao Yulin looked at the terrain in front of him, but because he was in the mountains and forests, he couldn't see the trend of the mountains. However, there is a white mist flowing between the various mountainsides, like flowing water.
On the highest mountain in front, there was a cloud of white gas gathered on the top of the mountain, and I didn't know if it was clouds or fog, and I could vaguely see a peaceful air circulating in it.
