Chapter 50: The White Fox Leads the Way
Shennong Ridge.
Shangguan Jiyue and Mo Yi returned all the way along the road they came, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier at this time, and the ground on the trees was already thick, and the sky had begun to darken, and it was about to get dark.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the thick fog appeared in front of him again, this time the fog was extremely heavy, thicker than when he first came, and the visibility was less than five steps, Shangguan Jiyue kept at his feet, holding Mo Yi's arm tightly in his hand, for fear that the two would be separated.
But as she walked, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly stopped, frowned, and stood still.
"What's wrong, Brother Qi?" Sensing Shangguan Jiyue's strange appearance, Mo Yi took a step forward and hurriedly asked.
"We seem to be on the wrong track!"
"No way, when I came, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out, so I made marks along the road."
"It's those broken saplings, right? I found you on those little saplings. Shangguan Jiyue changed her words, "However, those little saplings are gone, and we haven't seen those broken saplings on the road we are walking for a long time." ”
"Really?" Mo Yi heard it one by one, strode in disbelief and walked in front of Shangguan Jiyue to lead the way, leaned over to investigate all the way, walked for a long time, couldn't help but collapse his face, looked back at her and said, "Brother Qi, I really can't see it!" ”
"We may be lost......"
"What then?"
Shangguan Jiyue lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and resolutely decided: "Light the torch!" Go in one direction! ”
The two quickly found a thicker piece of dead pine and made a simple torch. The faint light of the fire shone on the faces of the two in the thick fog, adding a little warmth.
The two supported each other and walked in one direction according to their subconscious, all the way, all the way, all the way, but as they walked, Shangguan Jiyue's face became completely ugly, looking at a small sapling crooked in front of them.
Mo Yi also saw it, and his handsome face became tense, and he looked at Shangguan Jiyue and said, "Brother Qi, are we back in place again?!" ”
"Hmm!" Shangguan Jiyue tried her best to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and hummed softly.
"This is too evil! We were obviously going in one direction, and there was absolutely no turn. ”
"It's so foggy here, we don't know if we turn a corner."
"How? Do you want to keep walking? ”
Shangguan Jiyue looked up at the bigger and bigger snowflakes under her, and said firmly, "Go!" If you don't leave, you'll freeze to death here! ”
Mo looked left and right, and felt that it was really getting colder and colder, and couldn't help but snort: "Brother Qi...... Did you say we had a ghost hitting the wall? ”
"What? Now that you know you're scared? Shangguan Jiyue heard Mo Yi say this, but felt a little more down-to-earth in her heart, and winked at him and said, "It's also very possible, I heard that ghosts hit the wall are usually female ghosts, you should be careful, they like handsome men like you the most." ”
"Cut! The master is not afraid! With Brother Qi and you here, they probably don't look down on me......"
When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, not only did he stop teasing him, but Mo Yi's words reminded him that the so-called ghost hitting the wall was actually just nonsense, and the situation in front of him was very likely to have encountered a formation such as Qimen Dunjia.
However, who would set up a formation in this wilderness, in an uninhabited place? Moreover, this Shennongling Ridge has a history of hundreds of years, could it be that someone set up a formation here hundreds of years ago? That's ridiculous, isn't it?
While she was thinking, a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of her, which startled her a lot, Shangguan Jiyue looked intently, and saw that the white fox was on the snow a few steps ahead, and her fiery red eyes looked straight at her.
The color of its fur blended with the snow on the ground, and if it weren't for those fiery red eyes, it would not have been possible to see its existence in this foggy place.
Mo Yi on the side also saw it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and he smiled at Shangguan Jiyue and said, "Brother Qi, you see that I'm ready to let it go, it's very bold, and it's sent to the door again!" ”
"Mo Yi, don't mess around!" Shangguan Jiyue saw that Mo Yi had already put his hand on the arrow feather on his back, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.
I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that it's not a coincidence that this white fox appears here, the fiery red eyes are very spiritual, a bold idea appeared in her mind, she couldn't help but her eyes flashed slightly, and she couldn't help but look at the white fox in front of her in disbelief, could it be that this white fox knows the way out?
Strange to say, the white fox seemed to understand the emotion in Shangguan Jiyue's eyes, glanced at her again, turned around and walked towards the fog in front of him.
"Keep up with it!"
"Follow...... Keep up with it? ”
"Keep up! Since it can appear in the Long Wind Forest, it must know the way out! ”
Shangguan Jiyue immediately decided to follow behind the white fox, anyway, he would not be able to get out of this fog, it was better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe he could get out of this fog array.
So the two followed behind a white fox, walking around in a hurry, and I don't know how long they walked, the white fox suddenly stopped, glanced at Shangguan Jiyue with some anxiety, turned around and ran quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'm tired of the master!"
Mo Yi stretched out his hand to hold a crooked-necked tree beside him and bent over to pant for breath, looking at the white patch in front of him that was still covered with thick fog, his disappointment was overflowing, and he looked at Shangguan Jiyue and said, "Brother Qi, in my opinion, this little thing seems to be lost, haha!" ”
Shangguan Jiyue didn't speak, closed her eyes and stared, recalling the footwork that the two of them walked with the white fox just now, she counted the steps carefully in her heart, this footwork seemed to be messy and disorganized, but in fact, she turned the direction every nine steps, then took three steps, and turned the direction again......
Under careful scrutiny, there is a pattern to be found! This not only made Shangguan Jiyue happy in his heart, but also determined that the mist in the forest must be what kind of formation the master laid here, although thousands of years have passed, it is still not affected at all, it can be seen that the person who set up the formation is really a peerless master.
It's just that this person is laying out this precise formation in this barren mountain and wilderness, what is it? She doesn't know. Presumably, the white fox must not be wild, but has been raised, otherwise how could it be so knowledgeable about human nature? Could it be that this white fox has really lived in this Shennong Mountains for hundreds of years? If that's the case, it's incredible!
While thinking about it, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly heard the sound of a horse neighing in the distance, and it seemed that she was extremely uneasy and frightened, as if she had seen something terrible.
The two of them looked at each other, and their faces were half happy and sad, happy that not far ahead was where their horse was tethered, and worried that the war horse must have encountered something that made it frightened, so it made such a frightened cry.
What is it that can make a war horse who is accustomed to the smoke of war on the battlefield so frightened?
So, both of them gathered their strength, galloped wildly, and took advantage of the horse's cry to never stop, all the way to the place where Shangguan Jiyue tied the horse.
When I got closer, I saw the horse snorting in place, spinning back and forth trying to break free of the reins, and the front hooves kept scraping the ground, looking extremely nervous and uneasy.
