Chapter Ninety-Five: Strange Mountains and Forests
By the time the two of them arrived at Lianmeng Mountain, it was already the third day.
According to what Ling Hao said, they found the Mengsheng Inn at the foot of Lianmeng Mountain.
This inn looks no different from ordinary inns, except that the second chef in it, including the shopkeeper, is a woman.
"This is it." Wen Su looked up at the plaque and said with certainty.
"Hmm......" Yan Shi looked in the other direction, a familiar figure flashed by, puzzled, and looked closely, but the figure had long since disappeared.
"What are you looking at?"
"Oh, nothing." Yan Shi dismounted, helped Wen Su down, and the two walked straight into the inn.
The shopkeeper didn't look very old, smeared with thick rouge, and his gestures were indeed indifferent and arrogant.
From the moment Yan Shi and them entered the door, she caught a glimpse, just looking at the account book in front of her, and reprimanded the juniors vigorously, turning a blind eye.
"Shopkeeper, we ......"
Wen Su spoke, and she raised her eyes to look at them.
Then he smiled, his red lips hooked a deep arc, looked Wen Su up and down, looked at Yan Shi again, and asked, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”
"We want to go to Lianmeng Mountain."
As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper's face collapsed, and he became even more ugly, and lowered his head again and continued to look at the ledger.
Seeing this, Wen Su added: "We heard that it is not easy to go up Lianmeng Mountain, and we heard that we have come to ask for your guidance. ”
"I guide?" The shopkeeper smiled again, put down the pen, leaned forward, stared at Wen Su's face tightly, and asked, "Then what's the reward?" ”
Wen Su was stared at by her uncomfortably, and turned her head to look at Yan Shi.
Yan Shi also felt that this person was very strange, and answered: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper is easy to say, and please guide me, we have urgent matters." ”
The shopkeeper withdrew his body and said, "Say, who told you to come to me?" ”
"Mr. Ling."
Hearing that it was Ling Hao, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and replied, "Then you wait here, and I'll come when I go." ”
"Eh......"
Looking at the back of the shopkeeper who left directly, Wen Su and Yan Shi looked at each other, and had to stand there and wait.
I never expected that this wait would be two hours.
By the time the shopkeeper reappeared, she had already changed her outfit and even removed the makeup on her face.
"Come with me."
Although I think this shopkeeper is very strange, but since Mr. Ling said it, it is still safe to follow.
This Lotus Mountain is really not something that ordinary people can easily go up to.
Not to mention that this half of the mountainside is dense and horizontal, overgrown with weeds, this road can only allow one person to walk, the more you go up, the more foggy it is, no wonder it is called Lianmeng Mountain.
Walking to the top of the waist, the shopkeeper suddenly turned around and said: "Follow the stone forest in front, see the gate passing, and follow the lotus pond to meander away, which is the main hall of Lianmeng Mountain, and tell the guards at the door, the person you are looking for will naturally help you report." ”
"Aren't you going?"
"Of course I'm not going, I'm just going to get here."
Before the two of them understood her words, she said, "I can remind you, it is better to hurry, there are many things you can't think of on this mountain at night, and there are some things that you can't touch, so it's better not to touch them." ”
"Oh, thanks ......"
Before he could thank him, the shopkeeper turned and left.
Wen Su looked at the deep road in front of him, and then looked at Yan Shi, no matter how difficult it is, he has to go, in order to save Jin Ge.
With Yan Shi's eyes agreed, the two of them followed the path one after the other, and soon saw the stone forest.
"Hikoshi!"
After Wen Su finished shouting, he suddenly stopped and turned around, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yan Shi who was stepping forward, close in front of him, and his magnified face, and the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.
Yan Shi took a step back, distanced the two, and looked at her with a confused expression, "What's wrong?" ”
"Uh...... I forgot what to say. ”
After saying that, he immediately turned around and continued walking.
Yan Shi shook her head, she enjoyed this state of the two of them in her heart, and she was so liberated that Wen Su of nature was not even good for her head.
Suddenly, she turned back again: "I remembered, I was just going to say ......"
The two stared wide-eyed, one was thinking hard, and the other was waiting to speak.
"We're only halfway up the mountain, but it's almost hour, can we catch up?"
Yan Shi pursed her lips and looked up at the mountain, where she could vaguely see the main hall, but it must not be easy to get there.
"Let's go to the stone forest first, you're tired after walking for so long, let's go rest for a while."
"I'm okay......"
Hearing this, Yan Shi paused, and then said: "I'm tired, I want to rest for a while, this weeds are overgrown, I am afraid that there are snakes infested......"
As soon as he heard that there was a snake, Wen Su's hair stood on end, his face was pale, and he still pretended to be calm and said, "Then let's go quickly." ”
Yan Shi obviously noticed that her pace had quickened a lot......
Seeing that the stone forest was not far in front of me, I walked for a long time before I finally stepped into the land.
Wen Su said that she was not tired, but her physical strength obviously couldn't keep up, and as soon as she entered the stone forest, Yan Shi found a flat place and asked her to sit down.
"But if we don't hurry up......"
"It's okay, it's a big deal, just sleep here for the night, and then continue walking tomorrow."
Yan Shi said easily, sat on the ground with his butt, and lay straight up, really having the posture of wanting to sleep here.
Seeing this, Wen Su also sat down.
The body has been traveling for several days in a row, which is already the limit, and now I have to climb the mountain again, and I am really tired.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the closer you get to night, the thicker it becomes.
This lay down, and really fell asleep.
When the two of them came to their senses, it was the middle of the night.
Wen Su felt that her body was slightly cold, and she felt the warmth of the other side emanating from her sleep, so she couldn't lean over there and curled up, but the coolness of her back and the strange cry still pulled her out of her sleep.
When I opened my eyes, I found that I was nestled in Yan Shi's arms!
Shocked, Wen Su sat up abruptly, seeing that Yan Shi had not woken up again.
Just two or three days after the full moon, although the moon tonight is a little broken, but it is still as bright, shining in the stone forest, reflecting the light, but it is even brighter.
A cool breeze penetrated her clothes, sweeping away the warmth she had just had, and from time to time she could hear some strange sounds, which made her feel a little scared.
Looking down at Yan Shi, it seemed that he was sleeping very deeply, thinking that he was tired, so let him sleep a little longer.
Wen Su thought about it, and just watched Yan Shi sleep.
Suddenly realized that something was wrong, Yan Shi is not as good as a man as a woman? Besides, he still has some martial arts, and he doesn't seem to be such an unalert person on weekdays, so he sleeps so peacefully and so deeply at this time? The two of them sat down to rest for a while this afternoon, why did they fall asleep? Is there something wrong......
Thinking of this, Wen Su's scalp was a little numb, and he reached out in fear and dragged Yan Shi's arm, calling his name softly, and as soon as his voice came out, it was even more ethereal in this silent night.
"Yan Shi...... Wake up......"
At first, I just called him gently, but there was no response, and then I shook his arm slightly, but I still didn't wake up.
At this time, Wen Su's chest was thumping, as if his heart was about to jump out.
Yan Shi: What's wrong?
"Yan Shi...... Yan Shi ......"
Shouting a few more times and not waking up, Wen Su felt that he was about to cry, his brain was a mess, he didn't know what to do, he trembled and stretched out his hand to test Yan Shi's snort, he felt that his behavior was stupid, obviously the person in front of him was still in good temperature, and exhaled slightly.
A shrill cry pierced the quiet of the night, followed by a sound of soot, as if it was near, yet as if it was far away.
Wen Su was startled, suddenly increased the force in his hand, and shouted with a crying voice.
Yan Shi suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and didn't react yet, looking at Wen Su's panicked expression, he frowned, not knowing what was going on.
Watching Yan Shi wake up, Wen Su seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and tears couldn't help but flow.
She was really freaked out just now.
Yan Shi didn't know what was going on, and looked around, dark and silent, like a bottomless abyss, ready to rush in and devour them, and only this stone forest was shining with light, so that he could see Wen Su's frightened appearance at this time, which made people feel distressed.
He sighed, took her in his arms, and stroked her back comfortingly.
"What's wrong?" Listening to Yan Shi's surprisingly gentle voice, Wen Su gradually calmed down and told him what had just happened.
"Strange, why did we just fall asleep?" Yan Shi said as she looked around, "Could it be ...... Is it this fog...... Questions? ”
"I also found that the closer it is to the night, the thicker it becomes, and the pressure is lower, and it is still a lot more dispersed at this time."
"It must have passed the end of the day, and the fog gradually dissipated."
"We've slept long enough."
Wen Su smiled and couldn't help but joke.
Seeing that Yan Shi, whose eyes were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, couldn't help but tease her: "It's the first time I've seen someone crying and laughing at the same time." ”
"......" Wen Su raised his hand and gave him a punch, but it didn't have much force, and hit him in the shoulder.
Yan Shi also smiled, leaned back on the stone, looked at Wen Su playfully, and said, "Why don't we cherish the time and continue to sleep, and sleep until dawn before leaving." ”
Originally, I thought that Yan Shi's proposal was quite normal, but when I raised my eyes and saw his expression, the smile with unknown meaning on the corner of my mouth, Wen Su understood where the point of what he said.
It's about "we keep sleeping".
“…… This stone forest is quite bright, and you should be able to see the road. Wen Su didn't look at him, stood up, and looked in the direction he was going.
Yan Shi stopped teasing her, got up and patted her shirt, and rubbed her sour shoulders and arms: "Let's go." ”
This stone forest is indeed very bright, and it is all stones, and the two of them are relatively steady, and it is easy to find any foreign objects once they appear.
"What did you say was that weird scream?"
Wen Su couldn't help but tremble when he thought about it now.
"I didn't hear that."
"......" Wen Su pursed her mouth helplessly.
That's right, he didn't hear it, how do you know what came out.
"I always feel strange, what do you say Lianmeng Mountain does? Cultivating so weirdly? ”
"Jianghu territory, most of them are like this." Yan Shi said lightly, "We are all ordinary people, and the affairs on the rivers and lakes are not something that we can pay attention to and contact at will." ”
