Chapter 20: Nowhere to Run
The other end.
Under Mu Weiyang's guidance, Di XVII soon arrived at the unknown mountainside in the Medicine Valley.
It is a mountain that is not very dangerous, and the lush trees are covered with shaded forest paths, giving it a very light feeling.
"Where do we go next?" Di XVII stopped at an intersection.
Mu Weiyang poked her head out of the carriage and looked around, she wasn't sure where to go.
"Is the person you're looking for really living on this mountain?" Di XVII asked.
"Hmm."
"So, what is the approximate population? Is it a large family that lives in seclusion? ”
"It shouldn't be a big family." Mu Weiyang replied while thinking.
"Let's go here." Di XVII said, stretching out his hand and pointing to a path.
"Why?" Mu Weiyang looked at Di Seventeen in disbelief.
Di XVII smiled for a moment, and then said: "Look at the grass on this ground, almost all of the soil has been seen at this end, and this end can still cover the color of the soil if you don't look carefully." You, a royal family who grew up in the city of Qimu since childhood, naturally can't recognize the traces left by the people coming and going in the wilderness. ”
After listening to Di XVII's words, Mu Weiyang closed the open car curtain and expressed her unhappiness, although she didn't want to admit it, but Di XVII's words were actually reasonable.
"Okay, then let your child who grew up in the mud lead the way." The voice came from behind the curtain.
Seeing that Mu Weiyang even had to press himself to find a way back to the field, Di Qiqi couldn't help but feel funny, where is this still Mu Weiyang, the princess who gave the surname Leng Liuqing to the nobleman of Han Yanguo some time ago.
But Di XVII was not as knowledgeable as her, and after "driving", he drove the car to the path that was almost covered with dirt.
After about another stick of incense, Di Qiqi stopped the carriage and said to Mu Weiyang in the car: "It seems that the next section of the road is unworkable, should we get out of the car and walk over?" ”
Mu Weiyang jumped out of the car, picked up a package that looked quite big, and handed it to Di Qiqi: "These are some more precious and important items, and I have the most important ones with me, you can hold these." ”
Seeing Mu Weiyang's posture, Di Seventeen knew that they might not be able to come back to pick up this carriage, so he let go of the harness on the horse, let it move freely, and then continued to move forward with Mu Weiyang.
After another stick of incense, the two finally came to a place that looked like someone was living.
A hut stood among the flowers and trees on the mountainside, and around the house was a hedge with vines, about a man high, and a gravel path that zigzagged to the door.
When the two got closer, they found strange objects that they couldn't see in the distance before.
In the middle of the fenced off was a small table with intricate threads strung on it, and at the other end of each line there seemed to be something else around it.
Outside the small table, every few steps there was a strange-looking small wooden object placed on the ground, but all of them were dressed in intricate lines, connected to each other or separated from each other.
What the hell is this?
Their eyes followed the direction of one of the lines, trying to know where it ended up, but it was beyond the complexity they could imagine, and it didn't take long for them to be dazzled by the line.
Mu Weiyang and Di XVII looked at each other, and it seemed that if they wanted to enter the courtyard of this hut, they had to bypass these first.
Di XVII first asked, "Shall I go and see?" ”
Mu Weiyang thought about it, but shook his head, and then shouted at the hut: "Hello, may I ask anyone?" We are from a neighboring country and would like to visit Mr. Fei. ”
Mu Weiyang's voice was not low, judging from the area of this hut, it should definitely be audible.
However, there was no response from inside.
Di XVII also called again, however, after a long time, there was no response.
"What now?"
"I'll take a look." Mu Weiyang said, took out a small string, and began to tie up his cuffs, hems, trouser legs and other places that are easy to drift.
"You?" Di XVII exclaimed.
"Well, this thing is too dense, you're tall, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Mu Weiyang explained.
"Aren't you a martial artist?"
"Yes, no, but my ability to escape is top-notch." Mu Weiyang said, and suddenly laughed, as if he meant something.
Since Mu Weiyang said that he wanted to try, Di Seventeen didn't stop him, but just took out a few knives from his arms and picked up a few small pebbles on the ground, always ready to rescue him when he was in danger.
Mu Weiyang saw Di Seventeen's posture as if he was facing a great enemy, and he was also aroused for a while, and the expression on his face became serious for a while.
Mu Weiyang suddenly hooked his body, half-knelt on the ground, moved a little, and touched the ground carefully, in case something like a hidden line was buried underground.
After all, these physical objects in front of her were so subtle that even she had never seen them, so she could only follow the guidance of her master when she was young and follow the rules.
While touching and walking, Mu Weiyang's speed of movement was not slower than that of ordinary people.
Little by little, Mu Weiyang had already walked in the direction of the yard and bypassed the one-meter-high fence.
It was at this time.
Suddenly.
"Click".
Mu Weiyang was stunned, she didn't touch anything, she could be regarded as extremely careful when she touched it all the way, but why did she still touch the mechanism?
This was followed by a series of "clicks", and the sound of wood chips plucking all around was heard at the same time.
Before she could figure out what was going on, a lot of bamboo sticks were erected at her feet.
Although the bamboo stick is not fatal, it is certainly not pleasant to be pricked.
Mu Weiyang jumped backwards, in case these things would attack her, but she was wrong, with the protrusion of the bamboo sticks, the wooden unknown objects placed on the ground around her began to emit a new round of "click" sounds.
These bamboo sticks are completely buried under the soil, and there will be no discomfort even if you step on them, no wonder Mu Weiyang didn't find any problems when he touched them all the way before.
But how exactly is this buried and how is it activated?
Mu Weiyang didn't understand, and he didn't have time to understand, but he saw that those bamboo sticks changed differently with his movements, and activated more mechanisms, Mu Weiyang hurriedly stopped.
As Mu Weiyang stopped, the bamboo sticks also stopped at her feet.
"When".
Just when Mu Weiyang was preparing for defense, a crisp metal strike suddenly sounded from a certain position.
