Chapter 10: Up the Mountain
Since they came up, Meng Yilu did not come to say a word to them, but the girl who was with him jumped up and down and talked to them for a while.
However, it was not so much with them as with Lanhe, after all, during this period, Bo Yanhe only said two or three words, and it was the girl who asked her questions before she spoke.
At night, many people gathered in front of the mountain gate one after another, Lan He looked at them all, and then sat back beside Bo Yanhe and stretched out the sesame cake in his hand in front of her.
"I bought it on the way when I came, eat a few pieces to fill my stomach!"
"Thank you!" Bo Yanhe was not polite at all, she took a piece and lowered her head to eat it.
When she settled down at the inn at the bottom of the mountain, she prepared a lot of food, which was originally to be brought up, but because it was too heavy, she only took the packed pancakes, and gave the rest to the beggars on the side of the road.
The baked cake was eaten shortly before she arrived at the mountain gate, and she thought about enduring it and going up the mountain, but since Lan He put the food in front of her, she naturally had no reason not to eat it.
"I just inquired, and when they came up, they were the same as me, and when they passed through those formations, they didn't feel anything!"
When Bo Yanhe heard his words, her hand holding the sesame cake paused, she looked up at Lan He, and frowned: "Really?"
A hint of grievance flashed in Lan He's eyes, his voice was quieter than Fang Cai, and he lowered his head to not look directly at her: "You don't believe me?"
Bo Yanhe: "???"
I really didn't understand why he was like this suddenly, Bo Yanhe quickly stuffed the remaining sesame cake in his hand into his mouth, then clapped his hands, got up and walked to the place where Meng Yilu and the little girl were staying.
"I'll ask what's going on, and I'll be back in a moment."
"Oh." Lan He nodded, he turned his head to look at Bo Yanhe's departing figure, and sighed with a helpless smile.
Before Bo Yanhe could get close to the two, he saw the little girl walking over quickly, hiding behind Meng Yilu, putting her chin on his face, and her mouth open to say something.
When she got closer, Meng Yilu looked up and stopped his gaze on her.
"Little girl, I don't think you're ugly! Why is it always covered with a long veil? Are you a ghost? Can't see the light? ”
"......" Bo Yanhe stopped his steps, and looked at the little girl with a somewhat stunned look.
"Although there is no rule in Yangxu Palace that prohibits non-human cultivation, there has never been a ghost like you! The old ones were ......."
"Qingheng! Shut up! Meng Yilu opened his mouth and scolded her.
The girl named Qingheng reluctantly closed her mouth when she heard this.
"Girl, Qingheng is not sensible, I will wait for her to apologize to you!"
Meng Yiyu's words came to her ears, and she came back to her senses: "Childe's words are serious!" After all, it's my fault, I should have taken off this long gauze hat a long time ago! ”
She raised her hand and took off her gauze cap.
Because she was wearing men's clothes, she took off all the jewelry she wore on her head before she came and gave it to Liuyan. The green silk was loosely tied at the back of her head by the headband, and when she took off the gauze hat, she accidentally pulled the hairband, and the hair became even looser.
The hair with shorter ears was blown out by the wind, Bo Yanhe put away the gauze hat, reached out to pick up the headband, and quickly pulled the hair back up.
In this process, Meng Yilu's gaze stayed on her until she pulled it up, then withdrew her gaze, turned her face to the side and coughed lightly.
Bo Yanhe didn't notice this, she looked up at Meng Yilu and told him what she had experienced when she passed the formation.
"Everyone else doesn't feel anything, why do I feel it?"
"What a feeling! I think you're delusional! Qing Heng shouted behind Meng Yi.
Meng Yilu glanced at her, turned his head to look at Bo Yanhe and said, "This formation was taught to me by my son-in-law, and he only told me that the formation would not cause harm to ordinary people, so I put it on the long steps!" As for the situation you mentioned, I'm sorry! I don't know what's going on! ”
Bo Yanhe hurriedly said: "It's not in the way!" Out of the way! Maybe I'm thinking too much! You don't have to apologize to me! ”
Qing Heng snorted coldly: "Maybe you are not an ordinary person!" Maybe it's a ghost! Or some other youkai! ”
Meng Yilu pulled Qing Heng out from behind him, pushed him in front of Bo Yanhe, and asked her to apologize to Bo Yanhe.
Bo Yanhe frowned, said "It's okay", and quickly walked to the place where she was staying.
In the past few days, she has been listening to Lan He apologize to her, and then Meng Yiyu, she feels uncomfortable listening, she never felt anything wrong before, but since she woke up on the day Bo Yaruo got married, she felt that something had changed vaguely in her mind, but as for what had changed, she couldn't figure it out.
Lan He was still sitting there, and when he saw her come back, he stood up: "How is it?" What do you ask? ”
Bo Yanhe shook his head, sat aside, and then looked directly at the ground with his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, he sat back quietly and did not ask any more questions.
After the people at the foot of the mountain came up one after another, the Meng Yilu counted the number of people and took them up the mountain.
A large part of them thought that this was already the second stage of the general election, but they did not know that the overly long stage was included in the first stage.
Although Bo Yanhe had never seen an immortal sect similar to Yangxu Palace, there were still many pictures in her mind.
They are not considered disciples of the Yangxu Palace now, so they are not qualified to go to the main hall of the main palace, let alone live in the residence of the disciples.
As soon as Qing Heng came up, he disappeared, Meng Yiyu closed his eyes, put his index finger and middle finger together in the center of his eyebrows, Bo Yanhe looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was doing.
Lan He glanced at her, and when he saw her like this, he leaned closer to her: "He's communicating with those peak masters who accepted us up the mountain."
Bo Yanhe turned his gaze to him and asked, "How do you know?"
Lan He smiled: "I'm smart!"
Bo Yanhe: "......"
I don't know if it's an illusion, she feels that the longer she spends with him, the more annoying the way he speaks, and it vaguely makes her feel a sense of familiarity.
Seeing her look at her speechless, Lan He stopped smiling and said with a serious face: "Look! It's getting late, so we have to have a place to stay! ”
He paused as he spoke, looked at Bo Yanhe, as if asking if she was listening, Bo Yanhe nodded, then saw him point to Meng Yilu, and continued: "When he came, he was very behind Di He, I heard that Di He has not been back for many years, then he must be a person from Di Yuan Mansion, although we are not yet disciples of Yang Xu Palace, but we are also under the management of Yang Xu Palace, so he must be communicating with those peak masters who recruited us up the mountain."
"Really?" Bo Yanhe was a little skeptical.
Not long after she finished asking, the voice of Meng Yiyu over there sounded: "Since you have already gone up the mountain, you can be regarded as half a disciple of Yangxu Palace, and there are still two stages of assessment waiting for you after that, I wish you all can be selected!" Now it's not early, and the peak masters will come in a while, everyone will see which peak master you are reporting your name to, and then follow him to the place where you temporarily stay! ”
Bo Yanhe glanced at Lan He, and when he saw his smug look, he couldn't help but glance at him.
Lan He naturally knew, but he was happy in his heart, so he didn't care.
After Meng Yilu left, it didn't take long for those peak masters to arrive.
Seeing the people around him walking towards those peak masters one by one, Bo Yanhe finally became anxious.
It was Bo Lu who reported her name to the peak master, she was still sick at that time, and she had been staying in Taoyuan and had not gone out, how could she know which peak master she should go to now.
"Alas!" Lan He, who had been by her side since she had been up the mountain, sighed inexplicably.
"Why are you still standing here if you don't go to the peak master you signed up for!?"
Lan He looked at her and touched his nose quite embarrassedly: "You may not believe it, and I don't know which peak master reported it."
"Didn't you see him when you signed up?" This was the first thing Bo Yanhe thought of, and after asking, she remembered that he had just said that he had just said the word "also", "How did you know that I don't know which peak master I reported my name from?" ”
"Didn't I tell you! I'm smart! ”
“……”
At this time, there was still embarrassment on Lan He's face, and instead of it, he was full of pride.
Bo Yanhe couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to greet him.
The moment the slap fell, she came to her senses, but it was too late.
“……”
“……”
The air froze instantly, and Bo Yanhe looked up at Lan He, who was stunned by her slap, and let out a chagrined "tsk-" in his heart.
"Hug, huh, hey, sorry! Are you okay?! ”
Lan He glanced at her tightly pursed lips and sighed helplessly: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Bo Yanhe asked uncertainly, "Really?"
Lan He said "um": "Don't take it to heart. The most important thing at the moment is which peak master we should go to! ”
Hearing this, Bo Yanhe immediately remembered this matter, she looked at the peak masters over there, and saw that some of them had already turned around, and her heart panicked again.
"What to do? They look like they're leaving! ”
Lan He tapped at the people behind the peak masters who were about to leave, and found that they were all twenty people, and then he glanced at the remaining peak masters, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Bo Yanhe was still worried, and suddenly his right hand tightened, and before he could react, he was pulled forward and took a step.
"What are you doing?! Men and women receive ......"
"I know where we're supposed to go!"
Bo Yanhe was attracted by his words, and hurriedly asked him, "Where?"
Lan He raised his chin and pointed out to her the peak master they should be looking for, and then without giving her the slightest chance to ask again, he pulled her over quickly.
When the three big words "Shenshui Pavilion" appeared in front of them, the peak master who was walking in the front stopped.
"This is where you will be staying in the next few days, it is not early, you have to get up early tomorrow, after choosing a room, you can rest early!"
With these words, he disappeared from their presence.
Bo Yanhe chose a back room, thinking that she could be quieter when she rested at night, but the moment she opened the door, Lan He stepped into the next room first.
