Chapter 119: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms
Ten miles of peach blossoms.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, tens of thousands of miles of desert are like the sea. However, a winding Peach Blossom River may be called the Peach Blossom River. From the foot of the mountain straight through the depths of the desert, the blood-red peach blossoms bloom brilliantly, and the scene in front of you does not make you think of magnificence, but fear. There is no grass on the yellow sand, but there are patches of peach blossom forests, like a continuous river flowing into the depths of the desert.
"Ning'er, walk along the peach forest to the River of Exile." Ethan pointed to Xi Ning in the distance.
Miao Ren was also stunned by the scene in front of him, as did the shadow and the mighty dragon and the tiger. It's so weird!
When going up the mountain, the carriage has been unloaded under the mountain, and if you enter the desert, this horse will not last long!
"Find some cloth to wrap the horse's feet. Shadow, how much water is there? Xi Ning turned around and asked.
"There are also seven bags of dry food that can last four days." The shadow rummaged through the horse's back and counted.
"There's not enough water!" Xi Ning looked at the end of the peach blossom forest, almost connected to the sky, this journey almost took a few days! And the desert is so weird, I don't know if you can find a water source inside, and even if you have a water source, you can't guarantee that you can drink it. I can't go back to prepare now, I can only talk about it when I go in.
"Ning'er, why don't we go back and get ready and go in again!" Ethan wanted to delay, he regretted it all the way, he shouldn't have told Xi Ning. Now that Xi Ning is pregnant, what should happen if something happens.
"It's okay, let's go! Go down the mountain and go in before it gets dark to find a place to rest, the desert night is not good! Xi Ning led his horse. He glanced at the wrapped horse's feet and rolled over. Miao Ren then rode to catch up, and Ethan waited a little. After the shadow wrapped the horse's feet, he hurried to catch up. Weilong Weihu followed.
The shadow stood up with his feet wrapped in his horse's feet, and looked at the team that had entered the desert, he looked at the peach blossom forest, his heart was restless, and he always felt that something would happen. He shook his head and looked back at the road behind him. muttered to himself: I'm afraid that if I see less blood, I will be so restless.
Wait for the shadow figure to disappear at the top of the mountain. Four men came out at the end of the road.
"Master, the shadow guard seems to have discovered us." Ling Yuzhen whispered.
"No way. Senior sister, when you enter Taoyuan, you know what you should do, right? Yu Xin asked with a flattering smile.
Yu Wu glanced sideways at Yu Xin's face. He looked back at the end of the road and said, "Don't you just want a hostage?" Catch whom? ”
"The Empress or the Imperial Husband." Yu Xin said with a smile. She estimated in her heart that the flame body must be the imperial husband Ethan, and after following this way, the bewitching man was unlikely, and the remaining guards were not like it, only Ethan was the most suspicious.
Yu Wen didn't speak on the side, she had already seen through Yu Xin's careful thoughts, and now she would count the calculations as the top.
"That senior sister is responsible for luring that fox away! He's not easy to deal with. Yu Wen took a step forward and blocked in front of Yu Wu, the meaning was very clear. If you don't agree. Then she and Yu Wu won't make a move.
"That fox has already noticed me and Zhen'er, and when their physical strength is almost exhausted, Zhen'er and I will be responsible for luring him away." Yu Xin patted Ling Yuzhen's shoulder.
"Good!" Yu Wu's personality is relatively straightforward. is the most disdainful of scheming, but if others really want to calculate her, she will not sit still. Yu Wen and her are siblings and have the same heart. At this moment, of course, she trusts her sisters the most.
Yu Xin is an orphan who was adopted by their master and given the name Yu Xin. The three grew up together. A lot of things are known at this time. Yu Xin's most uneasy thing is Yu Wen, Yu Wen seems to be kind and doesn't care, but in fact he is the most resentful, he played them last time, I don't know if something will go wrong this time. And what kind of situation Yu Wen's alchemy has reached, she has not yet understood it, she is not worried about the Gu art and witchcraft of the Burning Witch Clan, what she is most worried about is alchemy, which is impossible to prevent. The last time I saw Yu Wen make a move was ten years ago, an opponent in Ling Zong's business, and Yu Wen didn't even find the body after he made a move.
Ling Yuzhen sneered in her heart, if this senior sister practiced her hands, it would really be difficult to deal with it, but now she was smashed in the nest, this scene is just as good.
The withered yellow branches are full of blood-red peach blossoms, like a soft ribbon in this endless desert, dancing lightly in the wind.
"Why don't these petals fall off?" Xi Ning felt strange, after walking such a long way, not a single petal on the ground was missing, even if the wind swept by, there were not a few pieces that fell.
"There used to be a river of blood under this desert, and it is said that the blood flowed like this peach forest into the river of exile. Some people also say that these peach blossoms are the thoughts of those unjust souls, missing their wives and children at home. No matter what it is, in the Southern Dynasty, peach forests appeared in this desert, and some people came to enjoy the flowers at that time, but they also died under the peach trees. ”
Listening to Ethan's comments or explanations on this place along the way, they are all some bad directions, Xi Ning thought, maybe Ethan really didn't want to come here, if it wasn't for Nuonuo, maybe he wouldn't have appeared in this place in this life.
But then again, this peach tree is called the executioner in Feng Shui, just because the peach blossoms, peach branches, and peach fruits are all blood-red, and it is a place where demons and monsters are willing to live. Moreover, it is even more strange that these trees grow so abruptly and illogically here.
"The sun is about to set, let's rest on the spot, eat some dry food, and drink less water. The nights in the desert are extremely cold, and everyone buries themselves with sand to keep warm. Xi Ning commanded everyone to rest, secretly happy in her heart, if she hadn't been born in the 21st century with advanced information, she really didn't know these common senses.
Wei Long stepped forward and pulled several horses together, ready to tie them to the peach tree, but Ethan saw it and hurriedly stopped it.
"Weilong, don't tie the horse there."
Miao Ren stood at the back of the line, bowing his head and slowly walking forward. Dressed in a pink coat, he was more beautiful than the peach blossoms in the sunset, and Xi Ning sat in the sand and looked at him.
As the sun sets, darkness reigns in the desert. Gusts of wind also began to blow at this time, and the sand would hit your eyes at all times. Xi Ning tore a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around his face as a mask. I tore two more pieces and handed them to Miao Ren and Ethan.
"Shadow, you also put on the veil and protect your mouth and nose."
After Xi Ning finished speaking, he lay in the warm sand and looked at the sky, it was pitch black, there was no starlight at all, the sky was very abnormal, as if the sky was covered by a black cloth.
"Woo woo" The wind blows the peach blossoms and makes a strange sound, it feels like there are a lot of people crying, and it sounds very infiltrating.
"Someone" Miao Ren shouted, jumped up quickly, and walked towards the depths of the peach forest. Xi Ning hadn't had time to shake off the sand on his body, and half of the figure was already invisible.
"It's really impatient! Before entering the desert, he was impatient to make a move. Xi Ning calmed down, sat in place, expanded his consciousness and walked towards the darkness. She wanted to see who was so anxious.
Shadow and Weilong Weihu each stood in one direction to investigate, and Ethan stayed by Xi Ning's side, also guarding against the unknown under the darkness.
Under the cover of the night, Xi Ning didn't find a single living thing, except for the rustle of the peach tree being blown by the wind, Miao Ren seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and there was no trace at all. At this time, a black shadow slowly appeared behind a peach tree, and Xi Ning ran towards the black shadow like lightning.
The lightning and flint happened, the speed was already quite fast, and when Xi Ning chased after him, there was still a figure there? She then felt fooled and turned around and hurried back to where she was. Six horses were still there, but none of them were there. She began to panic faintly, feeling that things were strange. She chose a direction and walked towards the darkness, walked dozens of meters, and saw Weilong Weihu fall to the ground, Xi Ning squatted down to sniff, still alive.
"Weilong, wake up!" Xi Ning called a few times, but Weilong didn't respond, and she came to Weihu's side again, but she couldn't wake up. She got up and walked forward in the dark, her consciousness expanded again, and there was still a person lying a hundred meters away. When she got closer, the shadow was lying on the ground, as if it had fallen suddenly, and Xi Ning turned it over and wiped the sand off her face.
"Shadow, wake up!"
"Lord... Child... Taken away... Finish! The shadow finished speaking intermittently, tilting his head and falling unconscious.
Xi Ning picked him up and walked back, she kept reminding herself to calm down, if Miao Ren came back and couldn't find anyone, she would definitely be in a hurry. Walking to the place where they were resting, Miao Ren still never came back, she didn't know whether to look for someone or continue to wait.
This is a night, Xi Ning has been looking for it with his divine sense, but there is nothing, has it disappeared?
The sky gradually shone brightly, the black cloth was suddenly pulled apart, and the sight returned again, Xi Ning hurriedly got up and kicked Weilong Weihu, and the two slowly woke up. Xi Ning came to the shadow and pushed him, and the shadow opened his eyes as if he had just woken up, only Xi Ning had been tormented all night, staring at the shadow with a pair of red eyes.
"Master," said Shadow, sitting up and rubbing his temples.
"What happened last night?" Xi Ning hurriedly asked, "Why didn't you see anyone when you turned around?" ”
"Last night, as soon as you left, Weihu and I were about to catch up, when I felt dizzy and knew that it must have been poisoned. At this time, two figures came out of the peach forest, and stabbed the master's back with something like a needle, because it was too dark, I didn't see what was going on, and the master was carried away by the man. Weilong and Weihu and I tried to chase after us, but somehow passed out. The shadow intermittently recounted the general process.
Miao Ren finally returned, carrying an elderly woman in his hand.
"What's going on?" Xi Ning took a few steps forward to meet him.
"We've been tricked, this man is a member of the Witch Clan. Brother Sen has not been arrested, I am now rushing to the River of Exile, and I can still have time. Miao Ren threw the woman in his hand to the ground, kicked it, and continued: "There is another person who let her run." ”
"Talk as you go!" Xi Ning set off anxiously, she vaguely felt that things were not so simple. Ethan's internal strength is very good, and it is impossible to be caught with his hands tied, what the hell is going on? (To be continued)
