Chapter 288: Stalemate
"Why does the old gentleman think it's a lie, could it be that if the old gentleman hasn't seen it, it can be treated as if it doesn't exist? This is inevitably too arbitrary and determined. ”
Feng Xiaoyue tried her best to calm down, sort out her thoughts and logic, and talking like this is equivalent to making a gamble, betting on whether this old gentleman is really reasonable.
Sure enough, after the old gentleman heard her say this, his eyes were no longer full of contempt and suspicion, but really faced it.
"The little girl won't think that the old man hasn't been out of the mountain for a long time, so he doesn't know anything about the outside world, and the old man is not such a complacent person, but the girl's words really make the old man can't believe it."
"Why did the old gentleman say this, but it was blown from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and it was not outside the sky, why did he feel so surprised. You have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, don't you know much about the situation on the mountain of falling wind? ”
Although Feng Xiaoyue already had a hazy answer to this in her heart, she still couldn't believe it, and she always dared to make a conclusion after confirming it with him.
After hearing this, the old gentleman couldn't help but be stunned, and he reacted in a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face that was incomprehensible.
"The girl didn't think that this was on Luofeng Mountain, if it was so simple, the old man wouldn't have made that guess about the girl."
"Then please ask the old gentleman for advice, the younger generation really can't figure it out." Feng Xiaoyue's heart was clear, and at the same time, she felt that a stone had sunk, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while
"Speaking of which, it has some relationship with Luofeng Mountain. Just on the back of Luofeng Mountain is one of its back mountains, called 'Qiyun Mountain', which is just the opposite of the characteristics of Luofeng Mountain. ”
"This mountain lives up to its name, more than half a mountain higher than Luofeng Mountain, and once the miasma in the forest rises, this cliff is in a poisonous mist."
"The people who live here want to live, so they have to put their houses on the mountain wall, which is what the girl saw." The old gentleman said that, took off the small yellow gourd on his waist, opened the stopper, and a faint aroma of wine wafted out.
It doesn't look like a place with a cellar where you can make wine, but now is not the time to think about this fringe issue.
Feng Xiaoyue twisted a pair of beautiful eyebrows, at this time, her subordinates were in trouble for a while, she had never heard of the name of Qiyun Mountain, and it was not marked on the map, even if Murong Lin was now beside her, she might not have an impression.
I remember that when I fell from Luofeng Mountain earlier, I and Murong Lin were on a vertical grass. Then the touch of green that I saw through the gap in the canyon in this house was none other than the meadow of Luofeng Mountain.
In this way, the younger generation is the evil wind on the mountain that is falling. Blowing around a mountainside before falling here? Feng Xiaoyue's face was surprised, "Then the green space in front of this canyon is not the mountain of Luofeng Mountain?" ”
"Hmm." The old gentleman saw that she had always adhered to the original reason, and his suspicion of her was also reduced a little, but it had not completely disappeared, so his tone was a little indifferent.
In this life, Feng Xiaoyue has dealt with all kinds of people
Dao, she already has a self-contained system for how to judge a person's meaning. Therefore, when she noticed the old gentleman's face, Feng Xiaoyue could roughly guess his attitude without saying much.
Judging from the few words vaguely mentioned in the old gentleman's words, the old gentleman should be very wary of outsiders intruding here. But not everyone has a different mind, there are always some surprises, why don't you look away? ”
I haven't been worried to such a point, why is this old gentleman like this, there are so many good eaves and stone climbers here, are you still afraid that you can't be a weak woman.
Feng Xiaoyue said, she couldn't help but smile in her heart, and politely held the fruit that Basheng brought in the morning to him. The old gentleman knew what she meant, and though he was still a little unhappy, he took the fruit anyway.
"If it's just such a distance, it's normal, this Luofeng Mountain looks big from the outside, but in fact there is only a thin piece, and this Cloud Mountain is connected to the mountainside,"
The fruit looks soft, but it's actually quite chewy. As soon as the old gentleman bit it, he took the position of the kernel, and Feng Xiaoyue was inevitably a little surprised, looking at the old man who was almost seventy or eighty years old, his teeth were excellent.
"It can also be said that it is a mountain road blown by the strange wind on the mountain, which closely connects the two mountains, but separates the Feiya Mountain next to it."
"If that's the case, if you go down from this Cloud Mountain, will you have to pass through Luofeng Mountain again?" Seeing that a fruit was quickly bitten clean, Feng Xiaoyue simply handed over the remaining pieces.
"That's natural, you come from the domain over there, and you can only go back the way you came. If you take this cloud mountain, not to mention the territory of the imperial court behind it, there is no mountain road for going down the mountain. ”
The old gentleman threw the fruit pits out of the window in a dashing manner, waved his hand to refuse Feng Xiaoyue's kindness, and cleaned up the two fruit pits left by Basheng by the way.
Although the action was small, Feng Xiaoyue still saw it keenly. Although Basheng is alone here, the old people who live nearby here are also considerate to him.
If the old people like to come to the house at this time, and he happens to go out hunting at this time, it is reasonable that he can rarely meet a few times in the day.
After completing this series of actions, the old gentleman took over half of what he had just said. "Behind this cloud mountain, it is connected to this canyon, and it is also a deep abyss."
"Aren't there a few roads here that people can walk well?" Feng Xiaoyue gasped and couldn't help but sigh so much. "Does the old gentleman know if there is any flowing water at the bottom of the canyon that can flow all the way to the flat ground?"
"Why aren't you in a hurry to leave at this time, and still inquire about these trivialities." The stool in the room was too low, and the old gentleman sat a little tired, so he simply stood up and turned back and forth in the house twice, scattering his muscles and bones.
"There is flowing water, but only one section, which flows from the back of this cloud mountain in the direction of Luofeng Mountain. However, there seems to be a hole at the foot of Mt. Luofeng, and the flowing water disappears when it reaches it, and it is estimated that it is back underground. ”
"The turbulent and surging water flowed in the hole, and suddenly the shadow disappeared, and you can imagine the bottom
What kind of damned place is next? The old gentleman said that he was excited, and could not help knocking on the crutches, and pointed the crutches outward.
asked Feng Xiaoyue to look in the direction he pointed, but only saw a hole and eye in the canyon that was a little darker than other places.
"But there is one more thing, what the girl just said is not right, there is still a gentle hill in this mountain." The old gentleman turned his head, and Feng Xiaoyue also listened.
"Just to the north, about four or five hills, there is a horizontal mountain, the most stable and easy to walk, in the past was the only way for the feudal territory and the imperial court to connect. Now that so much time has passed, the hill must have fallen a little lower. ”
"If the people in the domain miss this mountain, they will have to bypass most of the country to reach the capital. But I think there shouldn't be people in this world who like to waste their efforts so much, and suffer this crime. ”
The old man had not spoken for a long time, and it was inevitable that he would be verbose as soon as the class began, which was reasonable, but what made her feel puzzled was why the old gentleman had to talk to herself about these things.
"That being said, the old gentleman also knows a little about the things in the domain, can you recognize King Li?" The old gentleman didn't need to see Feng Xiaoyue's face, just from her tone, he could guess what kind of doubt and temptation was in her eyes.
"Although the old man has lived here for a long time, he occasionally goes out to bring some things back, and it is inevitable that he will hear a sentence or two. The current ruler of the domain is King Li, and the girl thinks what the old man said is right? ”
The old gentleman snorted silently from his nose, picked up the flask and took another sip.
"Yes, yes." What he said was leaky, and he didn't even reveal a trace of superfluous information, and it was difficult for Feng Xiaoyue to find out what was special.
This old man exudes a sense of mystery in everything he says and does, and people can't help but want to explore it. But after all, he is now so old, Feng Xiaoyue thought that even if there was any origin, it was a dispute in the previous life, and it had been so long since then, maybe it had lost its original effect.
"Thank you for the guidance and revelation of the old man, so that the younger generation has benefited a lot. It's not too early now, can the old gentleman raise his hand to open the exit of the forest for the juniors? ”
"Although the old man has a way to take you out, it's just that now is not the time, and the old man is also powerless." The old gentleman shook his head, and looked out the window, and a black figure could be vaguely seen flying up and down in the forest.
Doesn't sound like prevarication, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help frowning, "What does the old gentleman mean by this." ”
"It's better not to ask too much about the hidden secrets, that's not something you, an outsider, should know." Finding that the dark shadow in the forest had not come up for a long time, the old man guessed that he was probably preparing to return home.
"The old gentleman thinks I'll be stupid to this point, there are many flaws in the gentleman's previous words, I won't fail to find it." Feng Xiaoyue smiled faintly, put her hands in front of her, straightened her waist, and had a righteous aura.
"How can I prove that I don't have half the meaning of what the old gentleman is desperately trying to hide. Now I just want to get out of here. After my husband let me go, as long as I close the exit again, no one will come in. I didn't think I had the courage to be blown away by that wind again. ”
