Chapter 9 Into the Mountain
"By the way, you really don't mess around with me?" Lian Cheng peeled an orange and stuffed it into his mouth, and tried his great cause of persuading Zhai Chen for the thousandth and first time, "I am very reliable, and I will definitely not treat you badly." When you enter our Yanyu Building in the future, you only need to mention my name, and you will definitely not be bullied. β
Zhai Chen listened to him talk like this for three days, and he had already changed from boredom at the beginning to numbness now.
"No, no, Zhai can't stand it."
Before Liancheng could say more, the carriage stopped at this time, and the window was lightly buckled twice, and Ye Shenyu's voice sounded outside the window:
"We're in Liangzhou City."
"It's here!" Liancheng's eyes lit up, and he was about to run out immediately, and his head just hit the door, making him grin in pain.
Zhai Chen let out a long sigh, feeling the humiliation of life for the 10,000th time.
Liancheng didn't have time to pay attention to him, he was annoyed by Ye Shenyu by talking too much in the past few days, so he could only stay in the carriage bitterly. The space in the carriage was small, and the only one who could speak was Zhai Chen, who didn't look down on him, but he was embarrassed. Now that we've finally arrived at the place, it's not about getting some fresh air.
"Liangzhou, I'm comingβah!"
Everyone turned their heads one after another, indicating that they couldn't bear to look at Liancheng, who was halfway into the pit and still maintained a stupid posture.
"Alright." Ye Shenyu couldn't stand his stupidity, so he stretched out his hand and pulled someone, and the two walked to the group of horse bandits together: "Wait a minute, I will send you to see the official, whether you are dead or alive depends on yourself." β
The leader of the horse bandits had a bitter face, but he didn't know who to turn to.
"Still not convinced?" Ye Shenyu glanced at the few people who were about to move, "You have been on the Wasteland Ancient Road for so many years, and you don't know how many innocent lives you have on your hands, but now you just deserve it." β
Liancheng nodded again and again on the side, but his heart was empty.
If you think about it, the lives in his hands are only a lot more than theirs.
If Ye Shenyu, who came from a famous and upright family, remembered this stubble one day, he pointed a sword at his neck and said that he was crooked......
Liancheng only felt a cool breath on his neck, and involuntarily reached out and touched it.
It's too scary, don't think about it......
Lian Cheng was still thinking about it, and Ye Shenyu had already completed the handover with the officers and soldiers. In the thousands of thanks of a group of businessmen, Ye Shenyu walked to him with Zhai Chen.
"Let's go, take us to the Demon Cult."
Zhai Chen shook his head, "It's not that I won't take you there, I also told you before, without the identity token, you can't go through the passage of the disciples in the sect, you must enter from the Thousand Absolute Trace Realm." β
"You're a real inkblot," Liancheng turned over and got on his horse, "take us over first." β
"Did you die of this heart?" Zhai Chen looked down on him the most, and sneered, "It's okay." β
Ye Shenyu nodded, and brought Yi Xue, who was harassed by the charcoal on the side, overwhelmed, "Let's go." β
The man in white is personable, and the young man in black is chic and uninhibited, riding side by side, but it is indeed a scenery on the path outside the city.
The premise is that you are not the Zhai Chen who chased after the horse with light skills.
Both of these people have black hearts...... He wiped the sweat from his head and thought hatefully.
The two horses and one man were not slow, and it took less than an hour to go around from the edge of the city to a valley. Zhai Chen cautiously looked around before saying, "Ghost Shadow Valley, this is it." β
Ye Shenyu and Liancheng glanced at each other, and the two of them were bold, so they dismounted together and followed Zhai Chen inside.
It may be that the name "Ghost Shadow Valley" sounds strange and scary, although this mountain road is not rough, but when passing through the bushes and dense forests, Liancheng always feels inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and he has to look back from time to time.
On the contrary, Zhai Chen, who was coerced by them, has been happily leading the way in front. From time to time, I bypassed a few corner forks and became familiar with the road.
"Here it is."
Ye Shenyu and Liancheng stopped at the same time.
In front of them was a very high mountain wall, towering into the sky. The mountain wall looked fairly flat, but there was only a few clumps of moss between the cracks in the rocks, which made them suspicious.
"This is the entrance to the Demon Cult?" Liancheng couldn't help but touch it, "It's too unhanded." β
"This is the entrance to the Thousand Lost Realms." Ye Shenyu's robe sleeves flicked, and the long sword with a chill was placed on Zhai Chen's neck, "So far, do you still want to play any tricks?" β
"There is only one entrance to this religion." Zhai Chen sneered, not afraid at all, "If you don't believe it, you can move the small square stone on the right by yourself." β
Lian Cheng looked at him suspiciously for a long time, and when he saw Ye Shenyu nodded, he pressed his right hand on the stone with his right hand wearing fine iron gloves.
With Liancheng's slight exertion, the square stone also slowly moved away, revealing the bronze dark grid inside. There is a depression on the dark grid, and there are many patterns on it, which seems to be the location of a mechanism.
"Do you see clearly?" Zhai Chen sneered, "This is only the first level of entering the sect, and the identity token can be placed in the secret grid before the mountain gate can be opened." β
Ye Shenyu frowned.
Liancheng Mao glanced at his waist a few times, and reached out to scrape the patina on the mechanism, and simply clapped his hands neatly and said:
"I don't believe it."
The other two were stunned together.
"Your Demon Sect has a huge power, thousands of disciples, and every time you go back to the Demon Sect's main altar, it's so troublesome? Besides, this mechanism is so old that it must not be your usual entrance. Lian Cheng walked back behind Zhai Chen, kicked him on the crook of his knee, and the dagger in his sleeve was bound to the back of Zhai Chen's neck: "Don't play tricks with us." β
"So you're not stupid." Zhai Chen was just stunned for a moment, and a cold smile oozed from the corner of his mouth, "It's just that I realize it now, it's still too late." β
"What do you mean?" Ye Shenyu asked in a deep voice.
Zhai Chen just sneered and didn't speak, his face, which was originally Zhou Zheng, looked more and more hideous.
"You ......"
Liancheng still had to ask, but he faintly felt a little unstable on his feet. He looked at Ye Shenyu, and Ye Shenyu's face also showed a look of surprise.
It seems like...... Where they were, the mountains had begun to shake.
"None of you can run." Zhai Chen slapped a palm at Liancheng behind him, Liancheng was unprepared for a while, and was slapped on the shoulder by his palm, although he was not injured, but he also staggered back a few steps before holding on to a boulder to stabilize his body.
He was just about to fight back, but as soon as he looked up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him:
"Be careful!"
Ye Shenyu immediately turned around and found that a row of small holes suddenly appeared on the originally smooth mountain wall, and arrows shining with metallic luster in the holes were pointing at them with a bone-chilling chill.
The two didn't think about it, so they turned around and ran.
"Just because of you, you also want to enter our Demon Sect?"
Zhai Chen stood up, the look on his face was hideous and crazy. He didn't dodge or dodge in the spot, but laughed wildly and shouted: "Two hairy boys, let's die honestly in the Thousand Absolute Traces Realm!" β
"You!" Lian Cheng was just about to speak, when the feathered arrows on the mountain wall were already stabbing at them.
Ye Shenyu jumped a few times, and the long sword in his hand quickly pulled out a few sword flowers and shot down a few iron arrows. And the iron whip in Liancheng's hand over there also danced a cloud of phantoms, quickly clearing a gap.
Rao is the two of them are strong in martial arts and quick to respond, so they can be regarded as narrowly escaping. It's just that when the two of them were leaning against a big tree together to catch their breath, they happened to see Zhai Chen in front of the mountain wall stopping in place without dodging.
"Hey!" Lian Cheng didn't care about the positions of both sides, and shouted at Zhai Chen, "You don't want to die?!" β
Zhai Chen raised his face suddenly, and at the same time, several iron arrows shot through his back, and several blood arrows gushed out from the wound, making his figure look extremely terrifying.
Zhai Chen's mouth continued to drip blood, and he stared at the two of them with that single eye, and there was a sense of resentment in his eyes.
"Those who break into my holy religion will not return!"
"You ......"
Lian Cheng instinctively wanted to refute, but the current form did not give him a chance to fight with this person.
The shaking of the mountain became more and more violent, more and more alarming. Even the tree behind Liancheng and Ye Shenyu was swaying left and right, and neither of them could easily stabilize their figures. The two glanced at each other, and they both saw from each other's eyes that the situation was not good at this time.
"Let's go!"
I don't have time to care about what's going on behind my back.
The two of them immediately started light work, and without thinking about it, they ran down the mountain.
Two figures, one black and one white, quickly passed through the dense forest.
The sound of "rumbling" in my ears is getting louder and louder, and I can even smell the smell of dust rolled up by the rubble and quicksand when the mountain is falling. The mountains beneath their feet were shattered, trees and rocks were scattered all over the ground, and even huge stones rolled down on top of their heads.
The mountain collapsed.
Liancheng hurriedly avoided several boulders, and the long whip flicked towards a tree in front of him, the whip wrapped around the tree, and he used his strength to pull and swing, barely escaping the heaviest collapse.
However, Ye Shenyu behind him was not so relaxed.
Liancheng was originally a killer and was good at light skills, while Ye Shenyu was born in a famous family, and it was just a trick to play with others, but this kind of dodge was a shortcoming.
Seeing a tree trunk smashing towards him, Ye Shenyu swung the long sword in his hand and split the trunk in half, but his body was in the air, but there was no place to borrow strength, and he fell into an extremely deep and dark place under him.
"Shen Yu!"
Liancheng shouted, and he was about to reach out and grab it.
Ye Shenyu raised his hand to reach Liancheng's hand, but after all, he ......
Missed by a fraction.
Ye Shenyu's snow-white sleeves brushed Liancheng's hand, Liancheng reached out to grab it, only to hear a "stab" sound, half of the sleeve stopped in his hand, but Ye Shenyu's figure was like a light silk, falling downward.
Lian Cheng didn't think about it, and with a shake of his left hand, the whip was retracted.
"Shen Yu!"
Ye Shenyu's eyes widened in mid-air.
Liancheng's face was a nervous and serious look he had never seen before, and as he fell, the black cloak spread out behind him, like an eagle.
"Shen Yu! Catch me! β
The long whip in Liancheng's hand wrapped around Ye Shenyu's waist, and then he gritted his teeth and lifted it up, and then hugged Shenyu tightly in his arms.
He stretched out his hand to protect Shen Yu's head and neck, and said in a low voice:
"We're all in this together."
