Chapter 151: A moment of eye contact
The journey of experience is long and unrealizable, and it has suddenly reached the end of spring in March.
In order to rush to Qianyue Lake, the team crossed Qugong County, and finally left the county from the southeast and entered a complex boundary with unpredictable and changeable climate.
Broken rivers and mountains, more than 1,000 zhang high, barricade rivers stand. Its mountain shape is peculiar and rare, the mountain walls on the north and south sides are smooth like a screen, the east and west sides are just connected to both sides of the gorge river, and the river flow is forcibly blocked into two sections so far.
In the afternoon of this day, the team went over the mountain, intending to take advantage of the road to the east bank of the river.
The mountain road is steep, the rocky rocks are craggy and abrupt, there are many cliffs on both sides of the mountain, although everyone is athletic, but they do not dare to be careless, they can only move forward cautiously.
Halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of cranes, and several cranes flew by from the sky.
Bian Yao couldn't help but stop, holding the old pine and looking into the distance, only to see the dark clouds walking away, surging from all directions, it seemed that heavy rain was coming.
It didn't take long for black clouds to cover the sky above the rivers and mountains, and the low-hanging sea of heavy clouds seemed to be surging like black waves! In the dark and oppressive clouds, there were bursts of muffled thunder.
The wind was raging, and the wind speed intensified and howled, blowing on the grass and trees in the mountains.
The people hurriedly stopped their progress, each looking for a hollow, a convex rock, or a mountain pine to take refuge, and prepared to wait for the storm to pass before hurrying.
Under the sloping peak on the south side, there is a tortoise of the size of a zhang, which resembles a thatched eaves.
Below the rocks, there were three people standing quietly, Mu Wanyan stood on the east side, Twilight Song stood on the west side, and Bian Yao stood between the two.
Since the first taste of barbecue game, Mu Wanyan has never forgotten the taste, and at every turn he has supported Mu Chen and Mu Xiao to hunt, and borrowed seasoning from Bian Yao many times. In this way, after several contacts in a row, the relationship between the two sides became familiar unconsciously.
For more than a month after that, when resting or sleeping at night, Mu Wanyan often went to chat with Bian Yao. The topics that the two talked about were basically idle things, some about Mu Qianxue, some about night corpses, and more about some things that happened to Bian Yao when he was crossing the chaotic plain.
It's just that when the two of them talked, Twilight Song, who was on the side, never interjected or answered. Even if Bian Yao pulled the topic to him, or even joked about him, he still didn't say a word, either lowered his head, twisted his flushed face away, or simply closed his eyes and meditated.
At this moment, the sky is dark, the wind is very fast, and the rain has not yet fallen.
Under the convex rock, Mu Wanyan stood quietly, her long pale green hair fluttering with the rapid wind, and the green leaves on her sideburns vibrated with her hair.
She looked at the vast river in the distance, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever encountered this situation when you crossed the chaotic plain?"
Bian Yao leaned on the stone wall, quietly crossed his arms, and looked at the cliffs below the mountain and the grass and trees dancing in the wind, and his expression was particularly leisurely. After hearing this, he smiled without thinking: "Of course I have encountered it, but at that time, the two of us were sitting at the mouth of a cave to avoid the rain, and the scene we could see at that time was far less wonderful than what we see now!"
"And what did you see at the time?"
"What else could be special, being in the mountains, except for the mountains and mountains, at a glance, there are mountains, forests and wild trees. But when those peaks are shrouded in mist, it's quite flavorful to look at. ”
Regarding Mu Wanyan's questions, Bian Yao never hesitated to speak, and generally answered them carefully and attentively.
In fact, not long after entering the valley, she was called out to talk by the eldest lady of the Mu family for the first time, and after learning that Mu Qianxue and her were aunts and nephews, Bian Yao had a good impression of her. It's just because her aunt is not only the old ghost's friend, but also He Qingyin's master.
After a while, after a long thunderclap, the rain suddenly poured down.
The rain, falling on the protruding rocks, accumulates and catches up and then flows down from the sides of the convex rocks. The wind blew in gusts, whipping up raindrops in the air and lapping people's bodies.
The right half of Twilight's body was already soaked, and he stared motionless ahead, and in the wind and rain, the river in his field of vision showed a white fog.
Under this convex rock, a man with a sword stood like a stubborn stone, half of his body was bathed in the rain, but he did not move. The other two asked a few questions and answers from time to time, and the wind and rain were in their ears, accompanied by the distant voices.
After about half an hour, the wind slowed down and the rain fell silently.
The rain clouds have not completely dispersed, there are still dark clouds hanging overhead, the sky is still dark, fortunately, in the four sides of the sky, there are already flashes of golden light.
After a while, the sky over the broken river and mountain became brighter again, and the wind and rain stopped.
Everyone walked out of the shelter one after another, greeted each other, and prepared to continue on their way.
Bian Yao and the others walked out from under the convex rock, Mu Wanyan stepped in front, and the three of them followed the rugged and slippery mountain road, followed the figure in front of them, and walked forward slowly.
Suddenly, there was a "thunderclap"!
An extremely thick purple lightning bolt resembled a ferocious dragon! In an instant, a thick cloud layer was drilled out and slashed towards a sloping peak on the west side of the Broken River Mountain.
Immediately after, there was a thunderclap that shook the heavens and ears, violent like an explosion!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The whole mountain seemed to be shaken by thunder, and there was a brief shaking! The slanted mountain peak was destroyed by a sudden lightning strike, and large and small gravels fell and rolled down like rain!
"Oh no! flash flash!" For a while, there was a rush of shouting in the mountain road, and everyone moved away to hide!
"Retreat to the rock just now!" Bian Yao saw that the situation was not good, and shouted urgently.
When evading, Twilight Song, who was originally walking at the end, looked up at the falling rocks falling from the sky, and then hesitated for a moment, and dodged under a nearby mountain wall, his body clinging to the stone wall.
Mu Wanyan hurriedly retreated, and when she passed a wind cave, she happened to have a sudden squall wind coming! Hearing a fierce wind howl, her whole body was swept off the ground by the surging wind current, thrown into the air, and her body hit an oblique pine.
Taking advantage of the cushioning pause, Mu Wanyan hurriedly stretched out his arm, grabbed the branch, and jumped down on a slanting bluestone. Unexpectedly, the soles of his feet slipped suddenly, his center of gravity was instantly unbalanced, and before he could shout out, he had already turned over and fell, rolling towards a cliff below.
A gray shadow suddenly flashed out, his body was as fast as lightning, and his feet stepped on the slope of the hill, like a goshawk, and he leaned over the cliff at great speed.
A few miles away in the air, three small figures were flying in the air. Below the three figures, a sword-bearing figure was flying at a low altitude among the rocks in the mountains! It was none other than the four teachers in the valley.
Mu Wanyan only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and the grass, the sky and the river, these different pictures from far and near, quickly and constantly alternated in her line of sight. After a few breaths, she had rolled to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly she felt empty under her, and she fell down the cliff hundreds of feet high.
At the moment of falling, a gray figure rushed into Mu Wanyan's sight.
Twilight Song suddenly jumped forward, his left hand reaching out, and at the same time, his right hand suddenly drew his negative sword, and thrust it into the gap between the stone walls, stopping his body from sliding forward.
He crouched on the edge of the cliff, face down, his left hand tightly gripping a rounded wrist.
Mu Wanyan hung in the air, his body swayed slightly, and his beautiful face naturally raised up. The moment she fell, she felt her right wrist being grabbed by a sudden hand, which was full of strength, and held her wrist very tightly, so tight that she felt a trace of hot pain!
For a moment, inevitably, the eyes were facing each other. In such a situation, at such a close distance, there seem to be nameless fireworks popping out between the four eyes!
For a moment, time seemed to stand still!Twilight Song stared at the beautiful face, and her eyes flashed with a fleeting infatuation. Mu Wanyan's eyes flashed with surprise and joy at the same time, and there was a hint of sweet panic, rippling in her heart.
Coming back to his senses in an instant, Twilight Song lifted his arm and pulled Mu Wanyan up, then turned around, quickly unfolded his body, and ran towards the side who was standing above and watching.
At this time, Mu Chen rushed over with a nervous face, and Mu Qiyuan and the other three teachers also came to the edge of the cliff one after another, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that Mu Wanyan was safe and sound.
Under the support of several people, Mu Wanyan returned to the mountain road in silence. During this time, her cheeks were slightly hot, and her delicate face was flushed, I don't know if it was caused by panic or other reasons.
Previously, the lightning destroyed the mountain peak, causing a large number of rockfalls, and everyone avoided it in time, so no one was injured.
It was a thrilling episode, and the team continued along the slippery mountain road, under the supervision of the instructor, and there were no more accidents on the way.
About an hour later, everyone finally crossed the broken river and reached the east bank of the river.
