Volume 5: The First Song Three Hundred and Eighty-Five: The First Sight of the Ram

Qian Chao quietly left the Five Spirits Sect by himself, it was already night, if in the past, he would definitely go to Li Jian and ask him to walk with him, but today is the day of Li Jian's apprenticeship, although the apprenticeship is over, but now all the disciples of the Cold Moon Fairy have returned to his side, and the master and apprentice and the brothers will definitely get together to talk or listen to the Cold Moon Fairy teach the arts, which is very important to Brother Li, so Qian Chao is inconvenient to disturb; And Qian Chao actually had a very bad premonition in his heart when he left, and he had been delayed for a few days, he always felt that Shang Jie and Zhang Han were likely to have been killed, so there was a high chance that he would not have to do anything with someone to inspect this time, so he didn't have to take Lu Pingchuan with him, as for Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, it was already night when he set off, and it was not convenient to find them at this time, so Qian Chao rushed to the cold pool alone.

It is a long distance from the Five Spirits Sect to the cold pool, Qian Chao relied on the big sword he used to hurry all night, and finally rushed to the vicinity of the cold water pool before dawn, and then he could no longer use this big sword, although this spiritual weapon was fast, but it was also eye-catching to fly, so after approaching the cold water pool, Qian Chao put away the big sword and only relied on his air control technique.

For the sake of prudence, Qian Chao did not fly high, and when he deliberately walked through a mountain forest, he was alone when he entered the mountain forest, and when he came out again, there were eight or nine figures, the closer Qian Chao got to the cold pool, the more careful he was, for the sake of safety, he used the "incarnation talisman" in the mountain forest, and at once multiple fake bodies flew out of the mountain forest, and Qian Chao himself carefully followed behind.

Shang Jie and Zhang Han have more than one hiding place here in the cold water pool, and all the places Qian Chao knows, there is one in front, Qian Chao is worried that there may be an ambush, so he doesn't dare to rush in front, only with his own fake body close to inspect, even so, those fake bodies are also cautiously skimming the treetops and flying low, the speed is also very slow, do not make any sound, after getting closer, most of these fake bodies are on guard around, only three or two cautiously close to the past, However, there was no trace of the two men in the hideout, which had been used many times, and they all appeared to be normal, with nothing suspicious or unusual.

Then Qian Chao took these fake bodies and rushed to the next hiding place.

At dawn, Qian Chao had already searched several hiding places for Shang Jie, and except for the traces of recent human habitation in a cave where he was hiding, there was no gain, and there were only two places left at this time.

Because the sky was faint and it was possible to be discovered, Qian Chao was more cautious when he acted, and almost all the time he was in the forest under the cover of trees, and in the next place, Qian Chao finally made a discovery.

It was a cave on the mountain wall, it was very secret, the entrance of the cave was not big and it was completely covered by the vines growing on the mountain wall, if you didn't know in advance that there was a hole behind the vines, you couldn't find this place at all, Shang Jie and Zhang Han repaired the inside of the stone cave, so that you could be more comfortable when hiding inside, and there was no change in the entrance of the cave. Just now, when one of Qian Chao's fake bodies approached quietly, he found a clue after a little closer inspection, although the vines at the entrance of the cave still covered the hole, but several of the vines had been broken, and they were cut off by a sharp blade.

Immediately, Qian Chao and all his fake bodies were on high alert.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger there, Qian Chao himself approached the entrance of the cave, he pushed aside the vines and walked in, there was no light in the cave and it was pitch black, he took out a pearl to illuminate it, the cave room here is not big, after entering Qian Chao realized that there had been a fight here, the time may not be long, under the light of the pearl in his hand, he could see that there were two stone platforms in the cave that were used as beds, and a few fluffy demon beast skins scattered on the ground were probably laid on it as soft cushions, In addition, there are lamps on the floor of the cave, broken teapots and teacups, etc., which looks messy. And when Qian Chao walked in with Mingzhu, he found a few sword marks on the cave wall, one straight stab, and a few horizontal slashes, and there were blood stains near the sword marks that pierced into the cave wall, as if this sword injured someone and then the blood stains were left here, it should have happened a few days ago, and the blood stains had dried up dark red.

The sword marks were on the wall of the cave near the entrance of the cave, and it all seemed that someone had broken into the cave, and then the people in the cave were alarmed and fought back and injured the intruder with their spirit swords, but then what happened is unknown, there were not many sword marks, and it seemed that the battle ended abruptly.

Qian Chao looked at the bloodstained cave wall for a while, and saw that the traces left should be that Senior Brother Shang and Senior Brother Zhang had fought with the guy who broke in, but they should have been subdued immediately, otherwise the sword marks left in this cave room could not be just a few, under the fierce battle, this cave should have been cut and shattered by the spirit sword, so it must be that the opponent must be not too few, relying on the large number of people to quickly subdue the two senior brothers.

This made Qian Chao's worries about the situation of Shang Jie and Zhang Han even more serious.

After carefully inspecting the cave and finding nothing else, Qian Chao was ready to look elsewhere.

But they all walked out of this cave room, Qian Chao walked back and looked at the bloodstains on the cave wall again, even if he had guessed before, but he didn't dare to confirm whether the bloodstains were left by the people who captured Shang Jie and Zhang Han, or this bloodstain was Shang Jie's or Zhang Han's, Qian Chao took out a new pen, wet it with the spirit wine he brought with him, and then used this pen to dip the dried blood stains left on the cave wall on the pen little by little, Next, if you can't find Shang Jie and Zhang Han, or the mysterious person who appeared in the cold pool, as they said, then the blood on this pen may play an important role.

Next, Qian Chao went to Shang Jie and Zhang Han's last hideout, but still found nothing there.

So...... Are Senior Brother Shang and Senior Brother Zhang alive or dead now?

It has been several days since Zhang Han came to him, and it can probably be confirmed that these two people have fallen into the hands of those people for several days, can these two people still survive such a long time?

Qian Chao has no bottom in his heart, if Shang Jie and Zhang Han die like this, he will be very uneasy, since he is here, he must always look for it thoroughly, so when the fish belly gradually turns white in the east, Qian Chao set his eyes on the direction of the cold water pool, and after searching for so long, only there has not been a search, Zhang Han said that the first thing he said was to find a person sneaking in the cold water pool as if he wanted to crack the formation there, so would they still be there?

In the cave of Shang Jie's last hiding place, Qian Chao took out a stack of "incarnation talismans", after the flash at the entrance of the cave, more Qian Chao began to come out of it, and then all the fake bodies quietly flew up, surrounding Cold Spring Valley from various directions, all Qian Chao's fake bodies were carefully gathered from the periphery towards the center of Cold Spring Valley to search for the past, and at this time, the real Qian Chao has been staying in Shang Jie's hiding place and sitting quietly.

It was the first time to use so many avatar talismans, and this was also an extremely wonderful feeling, Qian Chao sat quietly on a stone bench in that hiding place, but in his mind it was a different scene, more than twenty fake bodies were forming a big circle, carefully guarding and searching from all directions towards the center of the cold pool, all the eyes of the fake eyes were presented in Qian Chao's mind, although he himself had been sitting in this dim cave, but the vision in his mind was impossible for ordinary monks to understand, He alone surrounded the entire cold pool, and all the eyes of the fake bodies were stitched together in a strange picture, as if his eyes were looking at the cold pool from all directions at the same time, and constantly moving forward.

Suddenly, one of the fakes stopped, immediately hid in a safe place, and peeked at a distance, and then all the fakes quietly approached there.

And the tide of money in the cave was also startled Huo Ran got up, and in the picture in his mind, he saw people from a distance...... Three, two of them were in tatters, hanging their heads, and sitting on the ground back to back, and the third was sitting on a wooden stake, and the two people on the ground recognized it at once, it was Shang Jie and Zhang Han, who had not seen him for many days, although these two people were in tattered clothes, there was no blood on their bodies, but it could be seen that both of them were exhausted, and there were no scars on their heads and faces, nor were they tied, I really didn't expect these two to be alive!

And the third person sitting on the stake was also dressed as a disciple of the Five Spirits, as if he was resting and thinking about something, and he couldn't see his face clearly with his hair scattered.

Loose hair!

Qian Chao immediately remembered that a few days ago, when Zhang Han came to him and said that the guy who was sneaky in the cold water pool looked like this, his hair was scattered, and his appearance was not bad, it seemed that he was this guy.

Worried that there was an ambush here, Qian Chao left a few fake bodies for surveillance, and all the other fake figures began to search carefully around these three people like a plow again.

Subsequently, Qian Chao became more and more surprised, there was no one else near and far among the three of them, it seemed that Shang Jie and Zhang Han were captured by this guy with loose hair.

Eventually, he didn't know what had alarmed the man, and he looked up and looked around in the direction of a fake figure with a sparkle in his eyes.

And in the scene in Qian Chao's mind, it was the person who looked at him directly.

It's been discovered!

Qian Chao opened his eyes suddenly, since he was discovered, there was no need to hide, since there was no ambush nearby, there was no need to be too afraid of him, and more importantly, Shang Jie and Zhang Han were still alive, so they had to be rescued, at this time Qian Chao regretted that he came here alone tonight, how good it would be to have a helper, but he couldn't care so much, he couldn't continue to let Shang Jie and Zhang Han in his hands.

Thinking of this, Qian Chao let his many fake bodies retreat one after another, and then he walked out and flew towards the position of the three people.

Dressed as a disciple of the Five Spirits, his black hair was scattered, his face was a little pale, and under his slender eyebrows was a pair of shiny long eyes, which was indeed a good look, this person stood up to greet him, his tall figure and facial features revealed an elegant and lazy temperament. And the merchant and Zhang Han on the side also turned their heads in surprise, and muttered something in surprise after seeing that it was Qian Chao who flew over, causing the man to look at them sideways.

Just as Qian Chao's figure fell, the man smiled slightly, bowed and said:

"In the lower ram yellow, I have seen Qian Chao Qian Gongzi!"
