Chapter 220: The Bridge of Mourning
Yunchen and his group of four people, along the southwest edge of Baiqi Mountain, finally arrived in Yunze after ten days, everything seemed so smooth, in fact, this was thanks to the Xuanyin Sect people chasing behind them, it was they who attracted the attention of most of the sword witches, so that Yunchen and his party had a lot less trouble.
This is a legendary land, for the first time to come to Yunze, no legend and rhetoric are enough to describe its wonderful, as if the clouds in the sky have fallen to the ground, the whole land and mountains are covered by a thin layer of white clouds, and then with the hot and humid breeze gently rolling, you can see the clouds without looking up.
The clouds on the ground are not thick, waist-deep, you can't go anywhere is waist-deep, the vigorous and upright crane pines, the slender bauhinia, as if growing in the clouds, the sound of water flows under the clouds, the animals jump in the clouds, the clouds and mist weave into the earth, piled up into the mountains and rivers, like a fairyland on earth.
It's a wonderful feeling, and it's like you're walking in the clouds, in the sky.
But as the novelty passes, so do the troubles, the sulphurous mist that comes from the heat of the earth, makes people always in a kind of yin heat, and every time you take a step forward in this cloud, it seems that an invisible firework sticks to your body, making you wonder if you will spontaneously combust in the next step.
The bonus of cultivating the fire surname exercise is like a fish in water in the hot environment of Yunze, but Yunchen, Huajian and Yunxiu, who practice the water surname exercise, are a little miserable, it can be said that from the first day they walked into Yunze, they were in a state of dizziness, and the most bitter was Da Ling'er, which was now entrenched on Yunxiu's shoulders, listlessly looking like a dead cat.
The sword witch is no longer in danger, in fact, there is only one kind of food abundant in this vast land - the kind of sour and numb dragon fruit, the sword witch and the savage mountain people live in the mountains around Yunze, the crisis is those hidden in the clouds and mist, suddenly jumping into the attack of the primordial beasts and beasts.
In this kind of place, Da Ling'er's perception is not as good as that of Huajian and Huahong, and when a certain Yuan Beast has already appeared or pounced on them, it will hum weakly. The only advantage is that after seeing the sword witch from a distance, you can squat down and forget about hiding in the clouds.
When they hid all the way, fought and killed out of the plains of Yunze, and stood on the peaks where the clouds and mist were relatively sparse, half a month had passed, and there was an urge to cry after being reborn among the Yunchen flowers, in Yunxiu's words, they seemed to want to die.
The only thing that I can't give up is the bonus, her more and more charming face looks like she plans to grow old here when she has the opportunity in the future, the only one who is full of interest is Yunxiu, she almost with a kind of dizzy pleasure, all the way to touch the Yuan Crystal of the Yuan Beast came over, this kind of ground-level low-level Yuan Beast Fire Fox's Yuan Jing is magnificent and bright red, crystal clear in the Yuan Jing There is also a lifelike fox pattern, more attractive than the most precious ruby, even the bonus has a lot of collections.
Of course, this kind of fire fox, which is only two feet long, is a very headache for Yun Ze's sword witch, because it has a high resistance to the law, and it is difficult for ordinary low-level spells to give it fatal damage, but the defense of sword qi is amazingly low, and even Yun Xiu can easily kill them, which is also the main reason why their party was able to cross Yun Ze.
Standing on this mountain full of bauhinia peaks, the clouds and mist under their feet were less than half a foot, which meant that from now on they had to release the sword witch again, although they were all wearing robes and painted faces, but the faces of each faction here were different.
"Where is the Hump Peak. "The flowers stand on the top of the mountain, looking to the west.
In the golden sunset, in the far west, a huge camel stands in the sky.
Hua Hong, Yun Chen, and Yun Xiu, seeing that they were discouraged here, sat on the ground, the last thing they wanted to do now was to walk, and they had been walking almost in their dreams for the past two months, and even Da Ling'er whimpered, slid from Yunxiu's neck and fell to the ground to pretend to be dead, which means that it didn't want to go while holding it.
"Where will Hatsune Hatsuyo take Yunxue?" asked Yunxiu worriedly.
"Definitely. Yunchen stood up and took the lead to go down the mountain to the west, thousands of miles away in the desert, he can bring the clouds and snow out, and in the mountains thousands of miles away, he also has the confidence to bring the clouds and snow out.
Yun Ze was gradually run behind them, and the eyes were full of peaks and mountains, inaccessible deep mountains and valleys, and the grades of the ubiquitous Yuan Beasts all the way, there were also low-level to high-level ground-level beasts, and even Tian-level Yuan Beasts appeared, which was by no means what their strength could cope with now, so that they had to be cautious step by step, but the only good news was that when climbing the mountain, there were flower bonuses with Yunchen Yunxiu flying straight up, and when going down the mountain, Yunchen Yunxiu in turn took the flower blossoms and floated down the cliff, which saved a lot of time。
As time passed, birds gradually appeared in the sky, the kind of optimus cranes that made Yun Jing's eyes greedy, and here they flew like sparrows in a flock, as well as the earth-level high-level colorful cranes and the legendary phoenix cranes, but no matter what kind of cranes, they are peaceful and docile creatures, as long as they don't break into their nests or take the initiative to attack them, they will be safe with each other.
The most headache for Yunchen and his party is the snake-headed dove with a bare neck and an ostrich-like body, this kind of earth-level high-level primordial beast seems to have an uncommon enmity against creatures with human surnames, and the three snake-headed doves stared at them for four days, and they hid in a cave halfway up the mountain, with bats and mice in the hole, and the stench and smoky taste was really unbearable.
In any case, they stumbled all the way and finally reached the foot of the Camel Swallow Peak, to be exact, to a place where they could clearly see the whole picture of the Camel Swallow Peak, and they could not walk an inch at this point.
The tall camel swallow peak is connected by three peaks, from south to north are the head of the camel and two humps in front of them, the top of the mountain is snow-capped in the sun, the mountainside is verdant, and the foot of the mountain is a blade straight up, and the pale stone is bare.
Under them, there is a huge deep valley that is thousands of zhang wide, the clouds and fog below, the roar of the unknown primordial beast is endless, and there are even lone peaks in the middle, and occasionally a few giant captures fly up from it, and above the deep valley, a stone pillar that is no more than a person wide, entangled with vines, like branches from the lone peak in the valley, stretching to both sides of the deep valley, intertwined into the only way for them to pass in the past.
"How to go?" Hanama looked at the stone pillars on both sides of the coiled deep valley, as well as the primordial beasts flying over the deep valley around the stone pillars, and subconsciously asked, walking here, almost to the Jedi that the barbarian sword and witch rarely touch, there are many primordial beasts that they can't recognize their names and grades at all.
At that time, they were hiding under a boulder that protruded outward, and after Hua Jian finished asking, he looked at Hua Hong in unison, walking in such a dangerous place and not forgetting to open Yunchen who was cultivating in Juyuan Pagoda, his perseverance and tireless spirit was indeed very speechless.
But Yunchen looked at Yun Xiu, Yun Xiu was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted, took out the map she drew with her own hands and compared it, "It's really here." ”
While everyone was waiting for the next step, Yunxiu suddenly stopped squeaking, and after a long time, he pointed to the drawing and said, "We took the wrong road, according to the map, there is a bridge to cross in the south." ”
"Is there a road to walk here?" Yunchen asked rhetorically.
Hua Hong snickered, Yun Xiu bowed her head shyly for her slip of the tongue, yes, every step forward here, the road was stepped on by them.
Time unconsciously entered the middle of summer, and Yunchen even forgot how many days his party had been around this deep valley, the only thing that was certain was that they were getting farther and farther away from returning home. In this kind of place where you may encounter a primordial beast to escape at any time, the white cat with the shadow of the cup bow and snake has completely lost its vigilance effect, and after devouring enough of the gallbladder of the primordial beast, it seems that its lazy appearance is about to start evolving again.
"It's here. On a light rainy day, Yun Xiu's words were tantamount to the sound of heaven in the ears of Yun Chen and the others, who were numb and climbing the mountain, and they stood halfway up a mountain peak, looking at the direction of Yun Xiu in the rain curtain, and then the clear surprise on everyone's faces instantly solidified, and gradually degenerated into decadence.
"This is the bridge you are talking about?" Yunchen had an evil fire in his belly.
"That's the mark on the map..."Yun Xiu stopped talking after arguing for half a sentence, she understood the anxiety in Yun Chen's heart, Yun Xue had been captured for almost three months, and now life and death are uncertain, but people who are familiar with Yun Chen generally don't look at his face, but look at his eyes, his eyes are becoming more and more terrifying.
Lying above the deep valley two miles away from them is a broken bridge, or rather, this should be regarded as the remains of an ancient bridge, both sides of the deep valley arched upwards behind the bridge that is 100 zhang long and two zhang wide, and a section of the bridge deck in the middle of the kilometer has disappeared, and more importantly, the rain curtain carried by the wind above the deep valley on both sides of the broken bridge "woo" endlessly, cutting off Yunchen's plan to fly past.
"Let's go and see," Hanama said, taking the lead down the mountain.
Walking to the periphery of the broken bridge, all vegetation and creatures have disappeared, only white bones and rocks are left everywhere, and there is a sad and dead air that even the drizzle can't suppress.
Bridge of Mourning.
This is the name engraved on a stone tablet next to the broken bridge, only to find out when you walked in, it turned out that the bridge was not erected by the ancients, but a natural formation of the natural artifice, along the way the white bones to the edge of the abyss, has been swept away by the wind, the blue bridge deck is smooth as a mirror, the drizzle converges into a grain of water droplets, and before it rolls down, it is swept away by the whining wind.
Yun Chen was just about to step on it, but Yun Xiu suddenly grabbed his hand from behind, "Look..."
Yunchen, who had been paying attention to his feet, looked up suddenly, and a huge optimus crane flew from the opposite Huoyan Peak, and in an instant it had fallen to the half-section of the bridge deck opposite the Wai Bridge, and then the rain curtain swept up by the wind above the deep valley.
Yunchen Huajian ran up the bridge deck, supporting each other in the smooth bridge deck and whirlwind, and soon ran to the end of the broken bridge......at least they thought it was the end.
When they walked to the "end" outside a hundred zhang, they found that there was no end here, or they were deceived by their own eyes, Yunxiu was right, this is really a bridge, and the missing part in the center of the bridge from a distance turned out to be a transparent and colorless crystal, which gave people the illusion of "broken" under the lingering rain curtain.
Yunchen rushed across the crystal bridge deck, and when he stepped on the blue bridge deck opposite, he finally saw the clouds and snow that had been lost for a long time.
Yun Xue was tied with her hands behind her back by Chu Yu Hatsune, her cold face was already haggard, and her slightly tired eyes showed a trace of heartache after seeing Yun Chen, and then she was covered up with indifference and affection, as if she didn't know the two people in front of her.
Yun Chen secretly shouted for Yun Xue's performance, if he changed to Yun Jing's neon clothes, he would definitely cry and shout at this moment, so that he would almost be at the mercy of the other party.
Behind Yun Xue, on one side is Yun Chen's old acquaintance, Hatsu Yu, who has broken an arm due to him, and on the other hand, there is an old acquaintance among the flowers, with a cyan scorpion tattooed on his gray cheeks, and Hatsune who was rewarded with 10,000 contribution points by Kaiyang Pass.
"I know you're going to find it," Hatsune raised her sword to Yun Xue's neck, a look of pride.
"She has been fed poison by us, and I can assure you that no one in the world can cure this poison except me. Hatsune opened his mouth, and a gloomy aura made people shudder from a distance of 100 meters, "You know, most of this map was scraped by you from me, and I am first of all grateful to you for helping me complete the most important part." But I think you still have a map like this, so take it out and give it to me. ”
Hatsune didn't say that there were mistakes on the map, but she thought of another map that might be backed up on the enemy, and she found two errors on the map, and she couldn't be sure that there were several errors in the drawing that they had completed, and she couldn't ask because you couldn't tell if the other person was wrong or right, and in this case, the other party would have a backup of the correct drawing. That's what Hatsune wanted.
"We have traveled thousands of miles to find this place according to the map, why should I give you the map?" Yunchen looked quite relaxed, it looked like he had nothing to do with Yun Xue, and if he really wanted to fight, even if the other party had two ** respects, Yun Chen was confident that his side would not fall below, you must know that here in this crisis, it has basically become impossible for Hatsune to ride the Optimus Crane to kill them.
"Then I'll kill her with a sword. With a swing of Chu Yu's long sword, a line of blood had already been drawn on Yun Xue's white neck.
"Senior Sister Yunxue..."Yun Xiu, who walked hand in hand with Hua Hong, knelt behind Yun Chen, hugged his leg and begged. But Yunchen didn't even blink his eyelids, and waved his hand to Chu Yu to make a gesture asking her to just do it.
In Hatsune's eyes, the captives she captured seemed worthless in the eyes of Di Yunchen, who was famous throughout Heze, and she waved her hand to stop her sister's action of killing Yunxue with a sword, and said, "It seems, do you want to earn this treasure with me?"
"As you can see in Wangsheng Valley, we are not the only ones. Yunchen blackmailed, anyway, when the moon was dark, they fought chaotically with the sword cultivators of the Xuanyin Sect and the encamped sword witches, and the Hatsune sisters launched an attack as soon as they landed from a high altitude, not necessarily clear, in fact, their sword cultivators dared to go deep into the hinterland of the sword witches and kill each other.
Yunchen said that seeing Chu Yu Chuyin here, he didn't refute it, knowing that it was really as he thought and didn't know, he took out a piece of the drawing that belonged to his own custody from his arms and shook it open, "I have drawn a lot of such drawings, and we have a lot of people, if you dare to kill Yun Xue, then I swear, most of Yunze's village, will get this drawing overnight, I lose a senior sister, you may not get anything." ”
Although Chu Yu Hatsune is also a sword witch, but their forces are far away from here after all, and once this drawing attracts the attention of a certain Dharma Saint or Dharma Emperor, it can be determined that they will have nothing to do with the unknown treasures that may be involved in this drawing in this life, "You..." Chu Yu angrily drew his sword and put it on Yun Xue's neck before he could threaten him, Yun Chen was not afraid, and made a gesture of invitation to the two of her again.
Hatsune waved her hand lightly to stop Hatsune, her gray lips opening slightly, "You're smart." ”
"Not really, it's just a burning of jade. Yunchen was modest, and he seemed to be naïve and put forward the conditions, "You have solved the poison on Yun Xue's body, let her go, and we will cooperate together to hunt for treasures, if there is a treasure used by the sword witch, the sword cultivation will belong to us, and then everyone will be afraid of each other, and they will never see each other." ”
"Woohoo... We're not as naïve as you think. Hatsune smiled sadly, gloomy, she took out five small milky white porcelain bottles, "Her antidote is contained here, she must be taken once a day to suppress the poisonous surname, but the medicine in these five porcelain bottles must be swallowed in turn to suppress the poisonous surname, if the order is reversed, she will die immediately." ”
Sure enough, it was very despicable, and immediately cut off Yunchen's plan to take a look at the opportunity and raid and kill people to find an antidote, because where is the antidote, five identical bottles, for Yunchen who don't understand pharmacology, this is even more cruel than not being able to find an antidote, which is very likely to let him kill Yunxue with his own hands.
But Yunchen was even more despicable, he directly stuffed the map in his hand into Da Ling'er's mouth, and motioned for Da Ling'er to send it to Hatsune.
Hatsune motioned for Hatsune to press Yun Xue to retreat, she could be regarded as having seen the horror of the big white cat, her body was glowing with colorful light, and she did not relax her vigilance at all because it was a kitten, but when she picked up the map in the white cat's mouth and glanced at it, the whole person was stunned.
Yunchen laughed, because the map he gave Hatsune was exactly the same as the map that Hatsune received from Yun Xue, and even the wrong places were the same, just like only Hatsune knew how to use the medicine of five porcelain bottles to save Yun Xue's life, these two maps undoubtedly told Hatsune a fact, without him Di Yunchen, you don't want to find the treasure.
