Soon Lin Wanyan changed into the same black clothes as Yue Ziwei and put on a hat. In order to dress up a little better, she also specially asked the maid to find a strip of cloth and wrap her breasts around a few times, in addition to strangling herself uncomfortably, she also looked like a weak man.

Yuan Hongyi personally led thirty or forty Yue Ziwei and Lin Wanyan out of the Yue Wang's Mansion and went straight out of the direction of the city. Lin Wanyan found that Yuan Hongyi only showed a token from afar, and the group went out of Nanli City without stopping, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city not only did not stop them, but also stood and saluted until everyone left.

Lunch was served in a small inn on the side of the official road, because I had to hurry, and I was in a hurry. Lin Wanyan was very worried, and she didn't have much appetite to eat. During this period, they passed through two small cities before they entered the gate of Xitang City at nightfall.

"Princess Wanyan, we've already arrived in Xitang, why don't we continue to go after dinner?" asked Yuan Hongyi.

"May I ask how long it will take for Uncle Yuan to arrive?" Lin Wanyan was not hungry, she just wanted to see Xiao Yuwen quickly.

"There is probably an hour from here to Xitang Mountain. Yuan Hongyi This is still a conservative estimate, after all, Xitang Mountain is too big, and this time is only to reach the nearest mountain pass.

"Listen to Uncle Yuan's arrangement. Lin Wanyan smiled. Now that it's almost there, she doesn't have to worry so much, she doesn't want to eat, but so many people can't go hungry.

So, the group found an inn and had dinner casually and continued to Xitang Mountain. Lin Wanyan found that Xitang City looked more depressed than the two small cities he had passed by before, and the houses were very old as far as he could see, and there were almost no people on the road at night. The food in the inn is also dominated by game, and the taste is not good, but it is very fresh.

Xitang City is built on the mountain and is named after Xitang Mountain. Xitang Mountain is made up of several rolling mountain ranges, and the Xitang River on the south side has a waterway leading to several nearby small towns. But because the mountains are majestic, the vegetation is luxuriant, and there are many wild animals, it is dangerous after entering the mountain, although the people here rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but basically do not go into the deep mountains, and few people take the waterway.

After entering Xitang Mountain at the nearest mountain pass, the group slowed down, and several Yuezi guards dismounted and looked around on the side of the road for the marks left by the people who entered the mountain before. Then follow the marker and go into the mountains.

Walking at night, although there are torches to illuminate, Lin Wanyan's eyesight is not as good as Yueziwei, and he only feels that the more he goes inside, the colder it gets, and the road is also very small, and if he is not careful on a horse, he will hang on the branch next to him.

Lin Wanyan always thought that Yuan Hongyi said that he still needed an hour to mean that he could reach the place where Xiao Yuwen was trapped in an hour. It has been more than two hours since the departure, and the group is just looking for signs all the way to the deep mountain, and the mountain seems to be so big that it can walk for days and nights.

"Uncle Yuan, where are we going?" Lin Wanyan couldn't help but ask.

"Looking for the third master. If you meet someone who comes to him, you can act together. Yuan Hongyi replied.

"Uncle Yuan means that no one knows where the third master is in this mountain?" "What is the difference between finding a person in such a big mountain and looking for a needle in the sea?"

"There is no news yet. "From yesterday, when the Lingye Palace was stationed in Xitang Mountain, and saw the smoke of the emergency signal for help when patrolling, five or six groups of people have entered the mountain. At this time, the people of the Lingye Palace in this mountain, the people of the Yue Wangfu, and the people of Yang Chengyue added up to no less than five hundred, but there was still no news.

"I want to ask Uncle Yuan, did the third master just have some accident and was trapped in the mountains, or was he ambushed?" These are two completely different types of disappearances, and the danger factor for the missing and the search and rescue is also very different.

"I don't dare to jump to conclusions before I find the third master, let's be more careful. Yuan Hongyi has a number in his heart, and most of them have encountered an ambush. Recently, there have been people in the DPRK and China who have coveted the iron and copper mines in Xitang Mountain, and the emperor's attitude is unclear, and there are many people who are ready to move behind them.

Lin Wanyan's heart was tight, and the situation was even more unoptimistic than she imagined. Xiao Yuwen left for two days, according to the time, they were trapped in this mountain for at least a day and a night, even if they could hunt some prey in this mountain to feed their stomachs, but if someone was injured and not treated in time, it was very likely that they would die.

The group continued to the mountains, and traces of fighting were found in several places along the way, but it was obvious that someone had passed by before, and although the corpses were too late to be disposed of, the bodies of the enemy and me were placed in different places. Even if Yuan Hongyi didn't say it, Lin Wanyan knew in his heart that he must have encountered an ambush. As for who it was, she had no way of knowing.

It wasn't until noon that they saw a bonfire in the woods in front of them from a distance, and the Yuezi Guard, who had gone to explore the way, came to report that it was the Spiritual Guard. Lin Wanyan and Yuan Hongyi dismounted, and Linghu walked over.

"Steward Yuan!" Linghu saluted, looked at Lin Wanyan beside Yuan Hongyi, and opened his mouth in shock. "Princess Smoke?"

"I didn't feel at ease when I came. But what's the news?" Lin Wanyan asked anxiously.

The spirit fox looked at Yuan Hongyi, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he said: "I have already split up to find it, and the spirit wolf of the Xuan Wei Wei has also gone, and there is no news yet." The people who met the Baihua Palace on the way, and other unknown people, did not stay alive. ”

Yuan Hongyi nodded and didn't ask anything more. Lin Wanyan went to the side to rest worriedly, there were no marching tents, everyone rested on the back of a tree. Linghu specially sent two very square but thin bedding, Lin Wanyan saw that no one else was there, but he was really afraid of the cold, so he still took it and wrapped himself like a silkworm chrysalis and leaned on the back of the tree.

In the middle of the night, the cool breeze in the mountains gusted, the bonfires in the clearing jumped, and everyone closed their eyes and rested except for a few supernatural guards on patrol. Lin Wanyan stared at the bonfire for a long time, but still closed his eyes. Although he will have to leave here in a few days, he still has to see him well, otherwise he will not be at ease.

The next day, when it was dawning, Lin Wanyan heard that everyone else had gotten up, so she also untied the two thin quilts. Linghu handed over a kettle and two coarse grain steamed buns that were already hard, Lin Wanyan didn't speak, took the kettle, but only one steamed bun. She doesn't like to nibble on steamed buns, and she has no appetite at this time.

After everyone finished eating the steamed buns, they extinguished the bonfire and got on their horses. Dozens of supernatural guards led the way in front, and Yuan Hongyi and Lin Wanyan led Yueziwei to follow behind. The sight is better during the day than at night, but the light is not much better, and the trees here are so lush that Lin Wanyan feels like walking in a primeval forest.

The further you go inside, the quieter it becomes, and you can faintly hear the roar of the beast. The paranormal guard was still looking for the marker all the way, but he didn't see it, and his travel speed slowed down.

Until noon, there was still nothing, Lin Wanyan became more and more anxious, and couldn't swallow it anymore after gnawing half a steamed bun.

"Do we have any other way? I don't know when we will find it aimlessly!" Lin Xuanyan asked Linghu with a cold face.

Linghu shook his head, he was as anxious as Lin Wanyan, but after several lives and deaths, coupled with long-term training, he no longer showed his emotions on his face.

Lin Wanyan felt a despair that he had never felt before, the insignificance of people was obvious at this moment, no matter how awesome your third master was, he was lost in this deep mountain and old forest, and he couldn't find it everywhere.

Her nose was sore, and she felt that tears were about to fall out, so she hurriedly got up and walked away, silently wiping away a few disobedient tears from the corners of her eyes. Sniffed in, took a deep breath, and didn't let yourself be immersed in this emotion anymore, what a gaffe to shed tears in front of so many people.

"The third master Ji people have their own natural appearance, they will be fine, Princess Wanyan don't worry too much, watch out for yourself!" Yuan Hongyi walked up to Lin Wanyan and said softly. How many times has Xiao Yuwen wandered outside the ghost gate over the years, and she was afraid of scaring her when she said it.

"Thank you Uncle Yuan for your comfort, I'm fine!" Lin Wanyan barely squeezed out a few ugly smiles.

Yuan Hongyi also smiled and walked away.

Setting off again, Lin Wanyan's mood was extremely low, and she kept hanging her head. Yuan Hongyi saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything. When twilight fell again, the group lit a bonfire in the woods, and found some game to roast and handed it to Lin Wanyan, but she still shook her head.

Lin Wanyan didn't feel hungry anymore, so he only drank a few sips of water, and then sat down in a daze with his back against the tree. According to the agreed time, she should go to get the customized ring today, and the day after tomorrow is Xiao Yuwen's birthday, but now that others are still uncertain, how can she eat?

The bonfire was extinguished, the torches were lit, and the group prepared to continue on their way. There was a faint "whoosh" sound, and everyone didn't care about it at first. But the sound stopped for a moment, and it sounded again, and it was clearer and longer, and for a moment everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen. The "whoop" sound repeated this six times before it stopped.

"It's the spirit wolf, you may have found the master!" The spirit fox's cold face couldn't help but show a little joy.

When Lin Wanyan heard this, he instantly raised his head, and his eyes lit up.

Linghu talked to Yuan Hongyi for a few words and began to lead the way in front, and they did not continue to walk forward, but went down in the southwest direction. This path is more difficult to follow than before, and it is almost instantaneous. After walking for about a pillar of incense, the sound of "whooshing" sounded again, and everyone immediately held their breath and listened, and the same six sounds stopped later. Linghu judged the direction again and continued to move southwest.

After a few clearer and clearer "whoosh" sounds, the group came all the way to the edge of a steep canyon, and there was no road ahead. The spirit guards dismounted one after another to check, and Lin Wanyan also dismounted.

Walking to the side, Lin Wanyan looked down through the torch of the Spirit Guard, and couldn't help but feel dizzy. This is probably hundreds of feet high, there is a winding river below the canyon, and there are some trees on the cliffs, but in such a high place, it is impossible to go down by clinging to these trees.

Everyone could only go back and wait for the "whoosh" sound to sound again. After the half-pillar of incense, the voice sounded again, and it was very clear. The paranormal guard walked over to the edge of the cliff again, making sure the sound was coming from below the canyon.
