242 The Secret Passage to the Cold Mountain
Yun Yichen frowned and listened to the narration of the old man surnamed Ou. After so much has been done. Although he does not believe in the coincidences of the world. But such an inevitability. It's as if every step they take. It's all about following a set script.
If that's the case. Then the final ending. It's already settled?
Yun Yichen was anxious in his heart. But on his face, he elegantly stroked the blue-green jade flute in his hand with his crystal clear but slender right finger. A gentle smile appeared on the pale face. asked the old man surnamed Ou.
"Old man. Your patron saint. What are you going to do?"
A hundred years of waiting. Nothing extraordinary.
Jing Yun Yichen asked. The old man surnamed Ou first took a step back alertly. After seeing Feng Weilun's approving eyes. And nodded in agreement. Only then did he slowly say word by word.
"The god told us to take the patronus he described to a place."
This time, there is no need to show the clouds and dust. Wind Willen has automatically and spontaneously exerted his privileges as a "patron saint". Immediately after the old man's answer, he asked in succession.
"Somewhere."
Maybe it's because it's admired in my heart. And the Patronus who has been waiting for me to ask questions. So the old man surnamed Ou trembled excitedly for a while. It was a reversal of his previous hesitation. He replied very quickly.
"A secret passage to the cold mountain of Seibu Province."
What the..
This answer from the old man surnamed Ou. It was like a thunderbolt that suddenly bombarded the side of Yun Yichen, Feng Weilun, and Jiang Rumu.
The reason why they appear here. It is to go to the cold mountains of Seibu Province. And now there is an old man. He said he would take them through the secret passages. Someone told his ancestors to do this a hundred years ago.
Yu Fei, who was supposed to be standing in the distance with Cangxuan Yanye. I don't know when it appeared on the right side of Wind Willen. Said to the old man surnamed Ou, who still didn't know what shock effect he had brought to others after saying this sentence.
"Old man. Take us there."
The cold mountains of Seibu Province. It wasn't a holy mountain a hundred years ago. There is no Seibu Province either. But now I want to go up. But it's not easy anymore.
Hence the secret passage that the old man surnamed Ou said. For today's Yu Fei. It is undoubtedly a good way to save time and effort. After all, the Eastern Chu Kingdom can't fall out with the Xiwu Kingdom yet. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult to deal with the Northern Tiger Kingdom.
Although the old man surnamed Ou was injured. Yu Fei also wanted him to rest and recuperate first. But just now the bandits appeared here. And a flash of fire here. It shouldn't be long before it gets the attention of Seibu Province.
And what Yu Fei lacks most now is time. So after making sure that the old man surnamed Ou and his son were not worried about their lives. Yu Fei and his party decided to make a quick decision. Hurry up and head to the secret path that leads to the cold mountain of Seibu Province. After that, let the old man surnamed Ou leave. It also allows him to complete his mission early.
Jiang Rumu, who walked beside Feng Weilun. Finally changed the depressed face that had been sullen for the past few days. Touching the chin. Lian Cheng looked up and down in surprise at Feng Weilun. Said in a tone of disbelief.
"I can't think of it. That's what you do. There will be a day when I will become a 'guardian saint'. Tsk.."
glanced at Jiang Rumu's villainous look. Wind Willen decided to ignore him and move on.
The origin of this "patron saint". Feng Weilun himself felt inexplicable. But after being bitten by that monster snake. He seems to have been blessed with a lot of misfortune......
Except that the monster form at night is not convenient for him to travel. I thought it would be a forbidden love that would be brought into the coffin. Wind Willen said openly. And get half a year to win Jiang Rumu's heart.
Now it's even more so strange to look at. Considered ridiculous "patron saints", they save a lot of twists and turns. You will be able to enter the cold mountains of Seibu Province......
The cold mountains of Seibu Province. The reason why it was named Hanshan. Name implies. This mountain is full of cold rocks. Just enter it for a hundred miles. If the internal force is insufficient. Stayed on it for a long time. The veins of the whole body will freeze and die.
It really depends on the strength of Hanshan. Just by looking at the cold sword in Cangxuan Yanye's hand, you can know. How many people in the world want to use cold stones as weapons in their hands? But because it is a sacred mountain in Seibu Province. Heavily guarded, no entry.
Even if you get a cold stone by luck. Crafted into a weapon. How many powerful martial arts masters can control the Ice Cold Sword like Cangxuan Yanye.
For this on the rivers and lakes. A weapon made from cold stone. Except for the Icy Sword. There's nothing else to tell the story.
The Eastern Chu State stole the cold stones on the cold mountain. The matter of creating an icy cold sword for Cangxuan Yanye. It's impossible to hide it from Seibu Province. However, I don't know what agreement Cangxuan Yanwen reached with Wu Youlie, the king of the Seibu Kingdom. In order to make Seibu no longer pursue this matter.
And that's exactly what it is. Cangxuan Yanye can use the Ice Cold Sword openly on the rivers and lakes. There is no need to fear that the Seibu Congress will hold them accountable.
But now Cangxuan Yanye and they are going to enter the cold mountain. It's not the same as stealing a piece of cold rock. If you accidentally get discovered. I am afraid that it will be a conflict between the two countries. After all, Cangxuan Yanye is now the Ye prince of the Eastern Chu Kingdom. It represents the Eastern Chu State.
The old man surnamed Ou was supported by his son. Maybe Cangxuan Yanye's momentum is too compelling. For this two people leading the way. It looks very reserved. Always careful. Only when the road is more difficult to walk. will turn around and whisper a reminder to them.
The more you go into the forest. The more Yu Fei felt that this road was a little familiar. It's not possible though. In the five kingdoms of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Except for the Nanjaku Kingdom when he first entered the other world. After passing through the green country. and finally to the Eastern Chu State. The other Seibu Province and the Northern Tiger Kingdom. Yu Fei had never been to it before. I rarely even hear people talk about it.
Yu Fei tried to ignore the weirdness in her heart. He asked the old man surnamed Ou who was leading the way in front of him, "Old man. Are you sure you won't go wrong on this path? Can you really reach the cold mountains?"
The old man surnamed Ou leading the way ahead. After hearing Yu Fei's question. Stunned. He didn't expect the other party to think like this.
Because of Feng Weilun's respect for Yu Fei. Coupled with Cangxuan Yanye's invisibly maintenance of Yu Fei. So the old man surnamed Ou didn't dare to get angry. And his son. He just patted the back of his hand. After organizing the language a bit. Only then did he say respectfully.
"Girl. This path is walked by every patriarch every year. As for whether you can reach the cold mountain. You'll find out after that."
After a hundred miles of cold mountains. This will produce different degrees of cold. The closer you get, the more chilly it gets. So just reach a certain range. The old man surnamed Ou believed that he didn't need any words. Everyone else will know if it's under the feet of the cold mountain.
So after the old man surnamed Ou finished speaking. The atmosphere became a little silent for a while. No one spoke again. There was only the faint sound of footsteps falling to the ground.
Moments later. In front of Yu Fei and they appeared a valley. Because the sky has lit up slightly. So you can see the flowers and trees in the valley in full bloom. There are even bowl-sized flowers. And those who are attracted by these scents of flocks of butterflies. It's here to dance carefree.
Here are the flowers. It seems to be the same as the flower in the thick flower snake with a bowl mouth outside the weird tomb at that time...
Here's the familiarity. Yu Fei wasn't the only one who felt it. Cangxuan Yanye, Yun Yichen and others also discovered it very early. So when Yu Fei asked the old man surnamed Ou that question. They are after hearing the answer. I have more or less doubts in my heart.
It's just when I really see these familiar bowl-sized flowers again. They only really realized. There may be dangers they can't see.
Maybe it's because the scene here is really too similar to the one outside the tomb. So much so that even Jiang Rumu, who has always been careless. I can't help but be vigilant all over my body. With a loud voice, he asked the old man surnamed Ou who was still walking in front of him.
"I said the old man in front of me. Is there really no danger here? For example, snakes and stuff."
"Huh. Childe, how do you know there are snakes here?"
The atmosphere of silence along the way. It was broken under Jiang Rumu's loud voice. However, the tone of the old man surnamed Ou at this time was full of surprise. This seems safe on the surface. A hidden crisis. I didn't even notice it back then. How come these strangers know about it?
If the gods say. The old man with the surname Ou can still understand. After all, this is a place arranged by the gods a hundred years ago. It would not be surprising that you would know. But how did the others find out?
A word from an old man surnamed Ou. Jiang Rumu, who has been moving forward. It stopped alive. And reflexively pulled the wind Willen. No longer let him take a step forward.
Jiang Rumu didn't know. It's been a few days. He took the initiative to pull the wind Willen. And it's a subconscious move.
This move to Jiang Rumu. Wind Willen's godless eyes. There was a strange glint of light. So fast that even Cangxuan Yanye didn't even notice it.
Xu is Jiang Rumu's reaction is too big. The old man surnamed Ou had to stop. Explained to Cangxuan Yanye and his party.
"There are indeed some scary flower snakes here. But there's more than one way to get to Cold Mountain. That road is for trespassers. Or people with bad intentions go. I'm going to take the gods and you on a different path now."
"We just had to walk through the woods behind a wooden house. Reach a small mountain. The entrance is just over twenty meters from the peak. Protruding from top of a boulder. It's just that you have to enter the entrance to the cold mountain from there. There must be an ancestral jade pendant that our Ou family got from the gods. I'll take you there."
While talking. An old man surnamed Ou with his son. He took the lead and walked away. That doesn't really seem like a lie.
And it's just based on the time they've spent together. Yu Fei believed that this old man surnamed Ou had no need to lie to them. The old man was afraid that until now he had not realized that his group was not from Seibu Province.
