Chapter 29: The Nine-Song Maze (1)
The next day, Nissan still had no one to be seen. The fog in the sky continues, and people become impetuous.
There was not a single donkey tied to the boulder, and Nissan left on foot.
No one knew where Nissan had gone, no one knew when he left the camp, and Han Qingxin, who had always been alert, did not find out in time. The bedding in his tent had not been touched all night, and it was neatly arranged. The food and drinking water on the donkey were all intact, and he didn't take anything with him when he left.
Let's go, don't wait for him. Han Qingxin's attitude was very cold, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking in her heart. Nissan's disappearance didn't seem like an accident to her at all, and she didn't care if Nissan lived or died. Zhu Beichen was particularly resistant to her approach in his heart.
Han Qingxin ignored Zhu Beichen, and didn't even look at his face, she was debugging the compass in her hand. The shape of the compass is somewhat different from similar products available on the market, and the index hands on it are more complex, and the function and sensitivity are much improved. The tip of the needle on the compass is pointing out of order, and it circles in all directions, unable to determine the direction.
"The magnetic field here is very unstable, and the compass can't be used."
When she entered this fog yesterday, she noticed the geomagnetic disorder here. What Nissan told her at the time was that it was normal for the mountain jungle to fog here, and the rest was vague. It makes her think that Nissan may not be so simple. After entering the tent at night, he kept a state of false sleep, and deliberately set up the tent next to the tent where Nissan was, always keeping an eye on the movements there. Then a figure was cast on the inner wall of the tent in the fog, and she galloped out without thinking, probably because Nissan had left them alone at that time.
Why did he run, did he know something, or did something scared him. Han Qingxin has always been puzzled.
"Nissan is not a simple person, you don't have to worry about him. Now I can't tell the direction, and only by walking along the river can we pass through the valley in front of me and enter the tropical rainforest to reach the settlement of the black seedlings. If you are afraid, go back down this river now, and you can walk back as well. ”
"Perhaps, even if you follow this river, you may not be able to walk back to the ancient town." Zhu Beichen's tone was very light, he was not annoyed by Han Qingxin's agitation. He looked at the top of a mountain in the distance, and on the top of the mountain, which loomed in the mist, there was a towering blade, and he was confirming his idea, which was so terrifying that he could not convince himself to believe it.
"What do you mean?" She felt that Zhu Beichen had become very eccentric, compared to a few months ago, he was still the same as the boy she saw in the hospital, with a resolute and unyielding face. But now, he has more things on his body, an emotion that he can't see through and can't understand. The inheritance of the Yin Fu is unpredictable, maybe he saw something. Han Qingxin thought a lot in a flash.
"Let's go forward, there is no turning back from the bow, and besides, I may not have much time left." His gaze became substance, resolute and unshakable. People's will to survive is really strong.
The team of two people and three donkeys slowly moved forward like this, and the valley not far away was faintly swaying in the fog.
"What was the figure you saw last night, or was it a person?" Zhu Beichen thought that the kind of fluttering figure and the tense atmosphere that almost condensed the air would be her at first, but he quickly rejected this idea. Because of a kind of aura, it is like being able to discover Ouyang Ying's existence with his sixth sense of Xuan and Xuan at the beginning, and now he also has this feeling, but that figure is obviously not. He didn't feel the familiarity and danger of it. Maybe she's really good, perfect, but she's also dangerous.
"What do you think, do you still think that monster is still a person?" Han Qingxin rode on the Yunnan donkey and ripped open his sleeve, which was a mark that penetrated deep into the flesh and blood, similar to the sharp claw marks of carnivores, deep and slender. Her mood did not change when she spoke, as if she was telling about an incident that had happened to someone else, and the wound had begun to scar.
"I don't know, it was already running away when I went out. Not sure what it is, but it looks like a person. Zhu Beichen's expression was very solemn, and he couldn't tell whether he was distressed about the woman's injury or something else.
"That thing is called a dragon."
"A spooky monster in legend."
In the legend of the mountains, the ghost is a general term for a kind of ghosts that harm people. But what people don't know is that in fact, the spirit refers to the mountain god, and the charm is another kind of mountain spirit, and only the dragon is collectively called the water god, which haunts the river and the river near the water, which is a hidden species, with the ability to disturb people's minds. Hidden in the river mist, haunting in the middle of the night, with a human form, incarnated as a girl, with sharp claws, sharp, and can break sharp blades, it is a kind of ghost that exists in mythology to dig people's hearts as food.
Han Qingxin had only heard of it in the ears of the elders in the family, and this was the first time she had come into contact with this species.
"How did you get hurt by it?" In Zhu Beichen's memory, the woman in front of her was a master of the Daomen, and she was full of Xuanmen kung fu, even if she only existed in the legendary spiritual aliens, she might not be able to easily hurt her.
"I'm not an iron fighter, and I'm not a monster, so why can't I get hurt?"
Han Qingxin was angry for a while, the dragon in the night moved very quickly, relying on the fog, running around to dodge, so ethereal that she couldn't find a trace, and she couldn't see the other party's face. With his own extremely keen body sense, he is circling with the other party, and his movements are very agile and cunning, constantly changing his strange body style, relying on the hazy environment to bring him strong psychological pressure. The castration of the scimitar misses again and again, and the blade of the blade breaks through the air next to it, but it cannot hurt it in the slightest. Han Qingxin was so angry that he sped up the frequency of his shots, relying on his sensitive body feeling in the dark, he slashed out the scimitar extremely quickly sideways when he found the dragon in close proximity, and the powerful force slashed the scimitar carrying internal strength towards the dragon, and all the strength was concentrated on the slender blade, and he slashed the opponent's body firmly.
As a result, it was unexpected, the other party was not cut off by the waist, and the blade was on the surface of the dragon's body, unable to advance a bit. The cunning dragon counterattack was very fast, and the sharp claws then swept towards Han Qingxin, she couldn't avoid it, and the skin on her arm was swept by the other party, leaving claw marks deep into the cortex. At this time, the dragon took the opportunity to run away.
"The wound, that, must be very painful." Zhu Beichen's concern is very muna, his personality is a little introverted, there has never been a woman to care about, and he naturally doesn't know how to care about women.
"It's okay, it's been disinfected with alcohol at night, it's medicated, it's okay."
Han Qingxin's tone softened a little, staring at the slender wound, and sighed faintly. The look on his face was the same as usual, and there was a hint of warmth inside. He finally learned to care about people, and he still cared a lot about his attitude, even if it was only a few words.
"I've always wanted to tell you something, but." Zhu Beichen wanted to speak and stopped.
"If you don't say it, I won't ask." Han Qingxin's attitude gradually changed, and she may not even realize that she had begun to deliberately distance herself from each other and keep her distance from each other.
"I found a problem, but I haven't been able to confirm it, and it doesn't make much sense to say it." Between the words, he raised his head and looked at the distant mountain peaks on his side, the mountain terrain here vaguely fit a certain rule in the Yin Fu Sutra, his qualifications are too shallow, the time to learn the Yin Fu Sutra is still short, the content in the Yin Fu Sutra is too profound, and he has not been able to understand the mysteries in each, he doesn't want to talk too much and deepen each other's ideological baggage.
It is highly probable that the contiguous mountains are alive. As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, even I felt terrifying.
The scenery in the distance gradually approached, and the pace of the Yunnan donkey moved forward at an even speed.
The gravel road on the ground has unconsciously turned into soft soil, as the entrance of the valley in the distance approaches, the channel of the Jiuqu River has also become narrow, the widest point is only more than ten meters, the water flow is gradually turbulent, the speed of the fog overflow in the water slows down, and the vision ahead widens. And Zhu Beichen's expression was worried.
"What's wrong with you?" Han Qingxin has been paying attention to his emotions, the inheritance talent of the Yin Fu is a very important point, even if he is not deeply involved, but every change in his emotions has more or less captured something, or rather, he feels something.
The acceleration of the flow of water is due to the narrowing of the river into the valley, and there may be another reason. Zhu Beichen didn't want to explain too much, Han Qingxin, who was also a descendant of the Daoist Sect, she might have seen something somewhat. The closer the fog is to the valley, the slower it will escape, and the higher the pressure in the valley, causing the wind in the valley to blow outward, and the combination of the two causes the fog to disperse very quickly.
There are still about two or three miles to reach the mouth of the valley, and the two of them can already see the lush trees in the valley, and from time to time the birdsong will come to their ears with the breeze in the valley.
"It's nothing, let's hurry as soon as possible, I want to pass through the valley early, but I'm afraid that this donkey's footsteps will have to sleep in the valley tonight."
The endurance of the Yunnan donkey is excellent, but the foot is surprisingly slow, perhaps due to the heavy fog. Zhu Beichen noticed that the marks of the third Yunnan donkey stepping on the soil were very deep and deep, sinking into the ground about five centimeters. The stuff it carried on its back was heavier than the two of them.
"You pitted that donkey? Give it something, don't get tired of it. ”
"Don't worry about it, it's all things that you might need in the next few days, and the donkeys in Yunnan are good at this, with strong endurance and excellent weight-bearing capacity." Han Qingxin glanced at the other party, and rarely showed the posture of a little woman, maintaining a sense of mystery.
