Chapter 194: Climbing the Cave and Climbing the Mountain
According to the Elders, the path was dug by their ancestors to go to Arroa to find a way to lift the curse on them.
Judging from the current situation, it should be a failure. But the road remained.
However, in view of the fact that the elder was already seriously in a state of credibility, Shangguan Li did not fully believe these words.
And there are too many loopholes in the old man's 800-year-old story, which can't stand scrutiny at all.
Why did the man who came out of Arova get seriously injured by the river, why didn't he leave, and what was the purpose of staying in the village? Is it really to show that Arowa is cruel and takes pleasure in harming others?
History is written by survivors, and who knows what happened back then.
Shangguan Li bit a piece of grass in his mouth and thought slowly.
She should be able to reach Anning Town in the safest state now, but what about after that? No one knows the situation in Anning Town, what the identity of the mysterious person who wrote to her is, and what purpose it is.
What is their connection to Arrowa, and who are the people who live in Tranquility now?
Looking at the deep road in front of her, she suddenly felt a little uncertain about the future in her heart.
The three of them walked around underground for an hour or so, and finally came to the end.
It was a very narrow clearing, surrounded by hard stones, and there were several traces of fires on the ground that had long since turned to dust and smoke.
Above the clearing, there is a well-like upward passage, on which a soft ladder is erected, and the sky light is falling overhead, and the call of birds can be faintly heard.
"Here we are."
The elder finally spoke in a hoarse voice and said the first words along the way.
"Now you can ......"
"Smack-"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shangguan Li directly knocked him unconscious with a knife.
"Shall we leave him here?"
Settueuil Road.
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"No, take him with you."
"Huh?"
Xitu's eyes widened, although she didn't say it, but Shangguan Li could see the slow disgust in her big eyes.
Isn't that a burden?
Shangguan Li knocked on Xitu's head and said earnestly.
"Girl, listen to your elders. With him, there can still be a meat shield at the critical moment, right? ”
Although she had other uses, it was not certain at this time, so I didn't say anything more to Citu. She pulled the soft ladder and said leisurely.
"It's pretty clean."
After speaking, he followed the soft ladder and climbed up a few of them.
She was very careful not to poke her head out for the first time, but to look around first.
This is really a well, the well is a dry well, the edge of the well is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a deserted ruin, and the houses behind the well are relatively low, but it can be seen that it is a common tiled house style in Jiangnan.
The view in front of you is blocked by a broken wall, so you can't see it for the time being.
After confirming that there was no one around, Shangguan Li jumped out of the well, and by the way, he turned around and pulled Xitu, who was following behind her ass.
"Sister, you just said it was too clean. Could it be that these grandchildren actually came here not long ago? ”
Situ hummed and carried the elder out and asked in a low voice.
"Possibly."
Shangguan Li nodded.
"What are the people from the village doing here? Alas, I'm getting more and more confused. ”
Situ sighed and dragged the elder up, feeling that it was really difficult to use his brain.
"It's not very clear for the time being, but now it seems that we should be in Anning Town."
Shangguan Li took Xitu into the room with the air leaking on all sides, although it didn't have any serious effect, but it was more hidden than standing in the unobstructed courtyard.
Looking out of the rotten windows of the house, I could see several houses next to each other, all of them looking dilapidated, and there were no people in sight.
Xitu's heart had already been lifted when Shangguan Li said the sentence "to Anning Town", and now when he saw this scene again, the whole person suddenly stiffened into a human-shaped plank.
Shangguan Li ignored her and took out two maps from his arms, one from the Green Fox Gang and the other from Xu Fengyan.
Her finger landed lightly on one of the points, and Situ recognized it as the location of the village.
Then I saw Shangguan Li's index finger move slowly after staying for a while, she moved very slowly, especially when she changed direction, she had to stop and think.
Gradually, the dots that passed through her fingertips became threads. If Situ had been more sensitive to space, he would have found that this was the path they had just walked in the tunnel.
Shangguan Li's hand stopped, landing right on the edge of the circle on the map.
This circle represents Anning Town...... No, where is Arrowa?
Shangguan Li frowned slightly, and his eyebrows, which were originally quite gentle, showed a sharp coldness.
She picked up the map, walked around the window, and finally stopped in front of a towering mountain.
"Looks like we're going to get ready to climb the mountain."
"Ahh Right now? ”
Situ, who was highly concentrated, was stunned, not understanding how their goal had changed from Anning Town to mountain climbing.
Shangguan Li put away the map and yawned a little tiredly.
"When it gets dark, there may be someone waiting for us on the mountain."
It was almost evening when they arrived in Anning Town, and it got dark very quickly in winter, so the two of them didn't have to wait long for the sky to get completely dark.
Even at such times, they did not see the lights in the town.
"It won't be wasted."
Situ muttered, carrying someone on her shoulder without delaying her as she walked.
The two of them took advantage of the night to quickly walk out of the town, and there were no gatekeepers here, as if it was really a place that had been abandoned for a long time.
That mountain is very high, and at a glance it is definitely a "dragon and phoenix in the mountains", the kind that is impossible to miss.
Just by looking up, Situ felt that her feet began to soften, she really had to climb such a high mountain with a humanoid burden?
"No, let me know, but follow me after you go up the mountain, don't talk casually."
Shangguan Li's eyes sank a little solemnly, the person who wrote to call her could not be to let her visit the uninhabited monuments, if there was no one in Anning Town, there must be someone on the mountain.
And the rigor of the arrangement these days is certainly not comparable to any time she has encountered before.
Hearing the solemnity of her words, Situ also put away his playful thoughts and nodded.
The night is like a heavy cloth shrouded in the mountains, there are no stars and moons in the sky, and there is no light in the world.
Just after Shangguan Li and Xitu quietly sneaked into the mountain, on the opposite side of the mountain, on a cliff, dozens of "chrysalis" were hanging.
When the wind blows, the chrysalis shakes gently.
Suddenly, as if stimulated by something, the chrysalis slowly moved.
