Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Reappearance of Green Money
Li Yiheng and Qingping used these thick fogs to track the soldiers escorting the old man, but because these Ying soldiers were flying most of the time, Li Yiheng and Qingping had to speed up the speed of climbing the branches, relatively, this would increase the movement when climbing, and it was easier to arouse the vigilance of the soldiers.

Fortunately, the higher up they go, the thicker the fog becomes, and the more favorable the conditions are for Qingping and Li Yiheng: Li Yiheng can discern their position based on the sound of the soldiers flapping their wings, and these dense fogs are close to viscous to provide Li Yiheng and Qingping with a good natural hiding place.
I don't know how long I followed, the sound of the wings flapping of the soldiers in front stopped abruptly, and suddenly the surroundings quieted down, Li Yiheng, who was standing on the branch, signaled Qingping to stop all movements, at this moment Qingping happened to hold the branch at the height with both hands, and was about to turn up, seeing Li Yiheng's instructions, he didn't dare to move, and his body hung straight there.
The fog here is also mixed with water vapor, Qingping vaguely felt a chill, about to sneeze, Li Yiheng saw Qingping's movements, and immediately stepped forward, in order to reduce the sound of footsteps, Li Yiheng almost jumped to Qingping, almost made a sound when landing, and its movements were almost comparable to cats.
Li Yiheng hugged Qingping who was "hanging" on the branches, and slowly put it on the ground, Qingping couldn't help it anymore at this time, seeing that a sneeze was about to be born, Li Yiheng's strong thumb quickly pressed down on Qingping's human center, pinched it hard, Qingping actually felt that the feeling of sneezing gradually lessened, and finally disappeared.
Qingping, who returned to the ground again, followed Li Yiheng's example, holding his breath, trying to capture even the slightest movement of the soldiers, but these soldiers seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and Li Yiheng and Qingping couldn't hear any sound at all.
At this time, Xiao Xiao, who was originally hiding in the hidden pocket of Li Yiheng's waist, woke up at this time, it surged out of the hidden bag, grabbed Li Yiheng's clothes with both claws, and went around Li Yiheng's chest at an angle almost parallel to the ground, and gradually came to Li Yiheng's shoulder, sleepy-eyed.
Li Yiheng knows that every time Xiao Ji wakes up, he will always habitually scream "chirp", which means that I am awake, please listen to my most beautiful singing!
However, at this juncture, Li Yiheng did not give Xiao Ji time to react, and pinched Xiao Ji's beak to completely stop the screams that might cause the enemy to notice.
Xiao Ji for unknown reasons was suddenly pinched by Li Yiheng's mouth, and he was also very puzzled: Why did Li Yiheng, who is usually very willing to listen to my singing, be so decisive today?
Just as Xiao Ji guessed, Li Yiheng pinched Xiao Ji's mouth with one hand, and made a "shh" gesture to Xiao Ji with the other hand, signaling Xiao Ji to be quiet.
"We've been together for a while, I don't understand what you mean, but don't squeeze it so hard, your beak is about to break. Xiao Ji thought secretly, and his mouth was faintly painful because of Li Yiheng's excessive force.
"Whew, whew", the familiar sound of flapping wings sounded in front of the originally silent again, Li Yiheng let go of his hand, Xiao Ji stretched out his right wing and rubbed his mouth, staring at Li Yiheng angrily, because since he was born, no one dared to put his unwashed hands on his mouth, Li Yiheng This is the first case, Xiao Ji silently combed the feathers on Li Yiheng's shoulder, Li Yiheng knew that he had made a mistake this time. Whenever Xiao Ji combs the feathers on Li Yiheng's shoulder, it means that Xiao Ji will throw all the miscellaneous hair from Li Yiheng's neckline, and then Li Yiheng's body will be itchy and unbearable, which Li Yiheng has learned very early.
Now it's not worrying about this time, Li Yiheng was worried that the soldiers suddenly stopped moving just now, would it be because they found their traces and Qingping, now it seems that the danger has passed, so Li Yiheng signaled Qingping to continue climbing, Xiao Yi realized the thick fog around him, and he didn't know where he was now, through Li Yiheng's actions just now, Xiao Yi knew that he couldn't make a sound, so he firmly grabbed the clothes on Li Yiheng's shoulders and followed Li Yiheng to move forward horizontally.
As the surrounding fog became brighter and brighter by the light, Li Yiheng knew that he was about to approach the canopy, and the "mulberry ginseng" was not far away, and the pace under his feet felt much brisker.
Eventually, the sound of the soldiers flapping their wings above stopped again, this time no longer quiet, but a cacophony that seemed to be something more deliberated by many people.
Li Yiheng and Qingping took the opportunity to speed up their climbing, and they were almost under the trunk of the tree where the soldiers were, and they could clearly hear the soldiers' conversation, and feel the bright white light struggling to break through the fog and sprinkle into the world below.
"Just use him to worship the holy land, and the 'mulberry ginseng' can last for a longer time. ”
"Yes, for those who destroy the Holy Land, they must be allowed to sacrifice blood to the Holy Land in order to appease the anger of 'Sang Shen'. ”
"He Huo Yang has tried to steal the light seed five times, and this time he must be executed. ”
Through these dense fogs, Li Yiheng clearly heard people talking about "mulberry ginseng" and "Huo Yang", and it seemed that he had reached his destination.
At this time, a gust of wind rose in the air, gradually blowing away this layer of dense fog, and Li Yiheng, who was hiding among the branches, could clearly see the characters in the sky above: there were soldiers just now, and some people in cyan robes.
The voices that spoke were made by these people in cyan robes, and Li Yiheng deduced from their words and the dress on their bodies that these might be sacrificial personnel, and they were about to sacrifice the captured old man Huo Yang to the "Sang Shen".
In order to see more clearly, Li Yiheng quietly clinged to the dense branches to a position almost parallel to the trunk of the tree where those people were, and then Li Yiheng really saw the appearance of "mulberry ginseng": across almost the entire canopy of the banyan tree, derived from dense rattan-like branches, intertwined with the branches of the banyan tree; the countless branches were like a waterfall pouring down, draped on the canopy of the banyan tree; the branches were covered with dandelion-like protrusions, the size of a person, and were emitting a dazzling white light.
Li Yiheng, Qingping and Xiao Ji looked at the "mulberry ginseng" in front of them, and they were all deeply shocked, it turned out that what illuminated the world was also a tree!
The soldiers escorted Huo Yang to an upside-down branch of the "mulberry ginseng", although it is a branch, this is only relative to the whole tree of "mulberry ginseng", but compared to people, like the branches of the banyan tree, wide enough to build houses here.
The light of the branch was dim, and the soldiers tied Huo Yang to a wooden rectangular stele next to the branch, which was carved with cumbersome patterns, like runes and abstract words, and the stele body had taken on a dark black, which was even more mysterious.
Huo Yang's head is tied to the stele, and it can barely be as tall as the stele, and one of those wearing cyan robes is older, holding a dagger, and the rest of them are saying in unison Li Yiheng's incomprehensible words, walking towards Huo Yang, he will carry out the so-called "sacrifice".
"You people, in this way, demagoguery, manipulate the world, and are outraged by the people, even if I die, there will be more people to expose your evil deeds. Huo Yang looked at the person walking towards him with disdain, as if he had already seen through life and death.
No one was talking, only those in cyan robes were saying incantation-like words.
The soldiers, on the other hand, retreated to a distance from the altar and watched the ritual unfold without the necessary precautions, as if they felt that it was unnecessary and that no one could escape from it.
Qingping saw that Huo Yang was about to be executed, he was very anxious, and gently pushed Li Yiheng, signaling if he wanted to go to him now, but looked at a group of soldiers nearby and hesitated: "In this current situation, if you really want to save them, it is very possible to put the two of them in again." ”
Li Yiheng understands Qingping's mood at this time, but at the moment, except for watching, there is really no effective way to save him, the pair of soldiers who caught him before are also there at the moment, Li Yiheng has observed Huo Yang's skills, and his combat effectiveness may be above himself, even he can't fight this group of soldiers, and he is just one more sacrifice.
The two of them were anxiously thinking of a way, and suddenly saw a figure jump out of the branches in the sky, wearing the same blue-gray robe as Li Yiheng, just between the dagger and Huo Yang, the moment he turned around, Li Yiheng recognized it - that was Qingwanjin.
Qing Wanjin snatched the dagger, slashed at the neck of the person in front of him, and easily cut the throat of that person, Qing Wanjin didn't wait for the person to fall, and came to Huo Yang with an arrow and cut the rope that bound Huo Yang.
Seeing this, the soldiers standing in the distance immediately besieged and blocked the way of Qing Wanjin and Huo Yang.
Qing Wanjin took out two bamboo tubes from his body, slammed them at both ends, and threw them at the ranks of soldiers, the bamboo tubes exploded in the air, and many black and shiny particles were sprinkled on some of the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Wanjin took out two bamboo tubes, concocted them in the same way, and threw them at the soldiers' ranks again, but this time the two soldiers aimed at the bamboo tubes and threw their spears in their hands, hitting the bamboo tubes almost at the same time, and the bamboo tubes exploded at a high altitude far away from the soldiers, although there were also black particles that burst out and sprinkled on the soldiers, but at this moment there were already more soldiers rushing towards the two.
Huo Yang lost his weapon, snatched a spear held by the rushing soldier with his bare hands, spun it twice in the air, and rushed into the ranks of soldiers who rushed to start a fight.
Qing Wanjin pulled out the long sword at his waist at this moment, and also fought with the soldiers who surrounded him, although Qing Wanjin was old, but Li Yiheng could not see any procrastination from his movements, and the long sword's move was also full of strength, and soon all the soldiers who surrounded him were killed to the ground.
The soldiers who followed them spread their white wings one after another at this moment, and they also launched an offensive from the air, cooperating with the soldiers on the road to gradually suppress the Ling Yan offensive of Qing Wanjin and Huo Yang.
"What are you waiting for, come and help. Qing Wanjin took advantage of the gap in the scuffle to shout in the direction where Li Yiheng was hiding.
"Why is he here, and how did he know we're here?" said Qing Ping, puzzled by the sudden appearance of Qing Wanjin.
"Don't think about it, don't hurry up, ask after you save them. Li Yiheng had already jumped on the branch, the umbrella blade of his right arm had been unfolded, rushed through the melee team, and after putting down a row of soldiers, he was also surrounded by the soldiers who followed.
Qingping is still hesitating, to go or not to go? Go, with his own ability, he will definitely not be able to withstand the three rounds of siege by these soldiers; if he doesn't go, Qing Wanjin is being recalled, and Li Yiheng has already rushed out.
As he wandered, he let out a long howl, turned into a big bird, and rushed towards the soldiers in the air, grabbing the wings of a soldier with both claws and falling towards the wooden stone tablet.
The other robed priests had fled without a trace, only the sound of weapons handing over, mixed with shouts, one after another.
"It's a big deal to be carried back. Qingping said, jumping up as well and rushing towards the scuffle.
Seeing another person rushing out, these besieging soldiers were a little powerless, and they divided a team to attack Qingping, this time, the five people almost divided the combat effectiveness of the soldiers equally, effectively disrupting the original group battle plan of the soldiers.
Huo Yang was even more brave this time, a spear was played in his hand, "whirring", moving forward and right, up and down, forcing the soldiers to retreat one after another.
Qing Wanjin had never made a move before, and this sudden appearance surprised Li Yiheng, and then looked at Qing Wanjin with a steel sword in his hand, like a fierce dragon crossing the river, and his moves showed the spirit of a king.
Qingping was a little overwhelmed, and the dagger in his hand was obviously at a disadvantage against the spears of the soldiers, so he came to Li Yiheng to seek refuge while fighting.
These Ying soldiers were also very strong, gradually stabilizing the formation, and according to the different combat values of Li Yiheng and others, they quickly assigned the corresponding battle echelon, and fought with Li Yiheng and the five people.
Qing Wanjin saw that it would not be long before he could fight again, so he chased after Li Yiheng. Huo Yang understood his meaning and retreated to Li Yiheng's side, at this time, Qing Wanjin took out a white round egg from his waist and threw it to the ground, suddenly bursting with a dazzling white light, which was more dazzling than the light of "mulberry ginseng", and all the soldiers, including Li Yiheng, Qingping and Xiao Yan, felt a tingling pain in their eyes, and it was difficult to open their eyes.
When the light disappeared, the soldiers found that Li Yiheng and the others had disappeared.
