Behind Qing Yanzi, Tongzhu and Tongsong arrived one after another.

"Old fellow, now you're happy. Tongzhu Liu's eyebrows were raised horizontally, and he scolded sharply.

"Alas......" Tong Song sighed and said, "I'll chase him, he will go down the mountain like this, something must happen." ”

Qing Yanzi waved his hand to Tong Songyi and said: "Lao Tzu will deal with this matter, take care of your junior sister, and she will not be allowed to leave the village for half a step without Lao Tzu's permission." ”

Tong Song was stunned for a moment, but immediately responded with a "yes". Tongzhu's face turned pale, and she was about to say something, but Qing Yanzi made another move, and she stood motionless in place, leaving only a pair of eyes that could still turn, staring at Qing Yanzi fiercely.

"Master?" Tong Song screamed in surprise.

Qingyanzi said: "Don't say anything, take your junior sister in, ask Tongbai to take care of that little girl, don't have any accidents." ”

Hearing this, Tongsong was shocked again, and said, "Did you find it?" Brother Li, he ......."

"Cuiwei Mountain is such a big place, what else can escape Lao Tzu's heart and eye to investigate. Qing Yanzi shouted, and then his face sank and said: "It's just that there are some things that seem to be negligent before Lao Tzu, which is really unexpected!"

Hearing this unprovoked sentence, Tong Song showed a puzzled look, but he said: "Master, Tong Bai and I will take care of my junior sister and Liu Ling, but Brother Li is not familiar with life, so it is better to get him back quickly." ”

After Qing Yanzi nodded, his figure disappeared in place. Tong Zhu's eyes were almost on fire, but he couldn't move at all, a pair of angry eyes had to stare at Tong Song, Tong Song smiled and said: "Senior sister, don't blame the master, you are angry at me, the master and his old man also have difficulties, you also know that some people in the door are staring at the master, if the master does something that violates the door rules, the consequences will ......"

Tong Song didn't say anything, but the anger in Tong Zhu's eyes faded a little, and Tong Song hurriedly helped her to walk inside.

..............................

Li Ding ran all the way, and I don't know how long it took, two forks suddenly appeared in front of him, one to the left and one down, and in a hurry, Li Ding ran away according to the downward road.

After a while, the winding mountain road suddenly became wider, and as far as the eye could see, what appeared in front of Li Ding's eyes was a flat land surrounded by mountains.

Obviously, Li Ding has arrived at the bottom of the mountain, but he never thought that the mountain was such a scene, and when he looked back, he found that half of Cuiwei Mountain was hidden in the clouds and mist, no wonder he usually couldn't see the scene under the mountain.

Outside the junction, a large road stretched almost straight to a town hidden behind a mountain forest in the distance, and around the town, at the end of the line of sight, several successive peaks could be faintly seen reaching into the sky.

The main road leading to the town is lined with large fields of farmland, planted with crops unknown to Li Ding, and sporadically toiled by people. Li Ding saw that these were just ordinary farmers, and he had never seen a single living person along the way, so he hurriedly rushed towards a piece of farmland with people in surprise.

In the field, the middle-aged man wearing a hat also saw Li Ding, and quickly stood up and shouted: "Hey, what's the matter with you, look at it, don't step on my ......"

However, the middle-aged man was surprised before he finished speaking, because Li Ding's speed was too fast, and he came to him in a blink of an eye.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Ding had already slowed down, but when his fast figure reached the middle-aged man, he still brought a strong wind, almost blowing off the hat on his head.

"Uncle, have you ever seen a girl in a long green dress coming down from the mountain, or passing by here? Li Ding asked eagerly, his anxious face a little scary.

Looking at Li Ding, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became nervous, his body trembled slightly, and the hoeing tool in his hand fell to the ground because of his unstable grip.

"Put away your momentum, this is just an ordinary person, you scared him. In Li Ding's heart, Xiao Dan's voice suddenly sounded.

Only then did Li Ding realize that he had lost his mind too much, and hurriedly combed the vitality that rushed into the meridians, and his face softened a little: "Uncle Mo Wei, I'm looking for my sister, have you seen it?" ”

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, and after swallowing his saliva hard, he said in a trembling voice: "I...... I've been here for a long time, and I haven't ...... I've never seen any girls. ”

Hearing this, Li Ding's eyes lit up, his fists clenched, and he didn't want the middle-aged man to suddenly kneel down and say, "Childe...... Childe, don't be angry, little ...... I haven't seen a villain before!", he said, as if he was about to cry.

Looking at the appearance of the middle-aged man, Li Ding was a little inexplicable, he didn't do anything, he didn't understand why the middle-aged man was afraid of being like this, so he had no choice but to say "I'm sorry, I'm offended" and turned to leave.

When Li Ding walked away, the middle-aged man staggered up from the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I apologize again, I don't know if it's the young master of that family, teasing the villain like this, this ...... Isn't that a human life?"

Li Ding didn't hear the middle-aged man's words, and after asking two more people, he was sure that Liu Ling had not passed by here during this morning, because these farmers who were questioned by him were all frightened and knelt down and begged for mercy, although they didn't understand why they were like this, but at least it showed that they didn't dare to tell lies in front of him.

The questioning was fruitless, but Li Ding's anxious heart gradually calmed down, and looked back at Cuiwei Mountain, Li Ding suddenly felt that he might have gone in the wrong direction, or maybe Liu Ling did not go down the mountain, but just hid somewhere on the mountain.

However, just as he was standing at the intersection and hesitating, in the sound of clattering horses' hooves, he saw a richly decorated carriage on the mountain road hurrying forward, and it was a big man in black who was sitting in front of him.

The honest smile on the big man's honest face also made Li Ding stunned, but then he said in a deep voice with a straight face: "I'm sorry, I'm looking for my sister, thank you for your kindness." ”

As he spoke, Li Ding wanted to walk towards the mountain, but as soon as his body moved, a delicate female voice that made people tremble came out of the carriage: "Are you looking for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?"

Hearing this, Li Ding's whole body was shocked, and he looked at the car window and said urgently: "Have you seen it?" However, the curtain on the car window did not open, and Li Ding didn't know what kind of person was speaking.

"Last night, I went to Qingping Town because of an emergency, and I met a girl on the way, seeing that her face was haggard and hurried, I wanted to stop and ask, but unfortunately I have to do something urgently, so I don't know if it is the girl you are looking for. The delicate female voice said unhurriedly.

Li Ding only felt that his heartbeat was intensifying, and he actually held on to the car window and asked anxiously, "Does she ...... She wasn't wearing a long green dress, just a little shorter than me. ”

"I can't say how tall or short she is, but the girl I saw was wearing a long green dress. The delicate female voice replied.

"Where did she go, I ...... I mean she went in that direction?" Li Ding only felt tears roll in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little.

"I remember......" The female voice paused, and then said, "Uncle Hong, this is the way that the girl should take, right?"

Hearing this, the big man in black sitting in front of the car seemed to recall, and suddenly said, "Yes, we met that girl before we came to a fork in the road." As he spoke, he said to Li Ding: "I think, that girl should go to the city." ”

"Really?" Li Ding turned from sadness to joy and looked at the man in black with an expectant expression.

The black-clothed man smiled innocently and said, "What am I lying to you about, I really don't know if that girl is the person you are looking for, besides, because of the Alchemist Conference in the past two days, there are a lot of people here, and it has been so long since last night, maybe she has left Gusang City." ”

"Gusang City?" Li Ding only felt that this name was familiar, but at this time he didn't care about this, and eagerly arched his hand to the black-clothed man: "Thank you, uncle." With that, he turned in the direction of the town.

"Hey, I don't think you're like a local, or I can help you inquire all the way into the city. The voice of the man in black sounded behind him, Li Ding looked back and thought that he was indeed unfamiliar with life, so he jumped into the carriage and sat next to the man in black and said, "Then there is Uncle Lao." ”

The man in black smiled, moved to the side, shook the reins, and after the horse snorted, the carriage immediately left.

Along the way, Li Ding learned that the surname of the big man who drove the car was Zhong Minghong, and the lady of his own family was sitting in the car.

The road leading to the town became smoother and smoother, and in a short time the carriage had passed the mountain forest that he had seen before, and the outline of the town gradually became clear, and Li Ding realized that the scale of the town was much larger than his counterpart. Because this is a real city, it is by no means comparable to the small sea cliff town on Lingyan Island in Li Ding's memory.

From a distance, he saw the tall city walls surrounding the entire city, and the closer he got to Li Ding, the more shocked he became, he couldn't compare how such a huge city was built.

As more and more pedestrians on the road, Li Ding found that there was more than one fork in the road leading to the city, and when the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and the city gate in Uncle Zhong's mouth appeared in front of him, no matter how much he tried to maintain his composure, he still naturally showed a surprised look.

In his memory, the highest gate Li Ding had ever seen was the one outside the Eight Gods Temple of Jinguangmen, but the city gate in front of him was three zhang high and more than two zhang wide. Huge copper nails fill the tall city gates, giving it a heavy feeling just by looking at it.

On both sides of the city gate stood a row of people dressed in black armor, wearing helmets, and holding spears.

Zhong Hong, who was beside him, seemed to feel Li Ding's nervousness, but he just smiled faintly, and with the flow of people, he drove the carriage slowly towards the city gate.

It wasn't until he entered the city gate that Li Ding relaxed a little, his eyes couldn't help but look around, and a noisy noise immediately sounded in his ears. Soon, he was surrounded by the exuberance of the city.
