Chapter 13: Circling the quicksand
Looking at each other, her eyes flowed, Xihe immediately bounced up from the bed, she hadn't said a word for a long time, she seemed to have forgotten how to speak, looked at the handsome man in front of her, and stammered, "I... I'm not... Deliberately..."
He looked calm, as if the accident hadn't happened.
"I really didn't mean to, I don't know... You're away from me... So... Nearβ" She spoke in a quieter and quieter voice.
Without waiting for her mind to ease up, the mountain ghost calmly stood up and walked out the door, and after Xihe ran to the makeup to get back his flower hairpin, he hurriedly followed him.
It wasn't until she stepped out of the threshold that she asked in surprise, "Did you break the barrier outside this gate?" β
He replied lightly, "It's just an enchantment." β
Barrier only?
But Mi Niang said that this enchantment is not something that ordinary people can break, and from the layer of enchantment outside the door, she can find out that Yujingzi's cultivation is unfathomable.
She trotted behind the mountain ghost, for fear that as soon as he left, the mountain ghost twisted the stealth decision, but Xi He said, "Stealth is useless, he can see it." β
The mountain ghost suddenly froze, and was bumped by Xihe, who didn't have time to stop his pace.
He turned half of his body to the side, saw her touching his forehead and smirking at him, stretched out his hand and waved it at her, a layer of silver light poured down, and the wedding clothes on her body instantly changed to the usual plain clothes.
Xihe looked down at the clothes on his body, smiled softly at him, and continued to follow him until he walked into the main hall.
The hall is not as deserted as yesterday, but it is particularly lively, and the hall is also covered with red silk cloth, which looks particularly festive.
At this time, Yujingzi was drinking bowls of joy wine with the blessing of a group of people, and she didn't notice the proximity of her and the mountain ghost at all.
She tugged at his sleeve and asked, "What are you doing here?" We'd better go now. β
She believed in the strength of the mountain ghost, but she didn't know the depth of Yu Jingzi's cultivation, and if she alarmed Yu Jingzi and caused the two to fight, she wasn't sure if she could run away.
The mountain ghost was silent, only stretched out her right hand, and just when she was confused, a fan suddenly flew into Yu Jingzi's sleeve into his hand.
He held the handle of the fan in his right hand, and after a quick glance, the red fan seemed to have received some kind of edict, and it flew out of his hand in an instant, and the red silk in the hall fell to the ground, and it happened that a red silk happened to fall on Yu Jingzi's head.
Without waiting for Yu Jingzi to react, Xihe pulled the mountain ghost and left.
Out of the mountain gate, Xue Gu was hovering in front of the mountain gate with a sword, worried.
After seeing them come out, she ran forward, looked at the mountain ghost and complained, "If Du Gongzi hadn't thought I was in the way, I would have rushed up." β
Xihe comforted, "Didn't we come back safe and sound?" β
She looked at the mountain ghost and said, "Thanks to the mountain ghost, if he hadn't broken the barrier, he and I wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly." β
The mountain ghost looked at the high mountain gate, there was a big red satin hanging on the door, he raised his hand and waved, the red satin was torn off by him, and then turned around and said, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid your junior sister will really become the cottage lady of the snake demon." β
"Mrs. Cottage?" Xue Gu looked Xi He up and down, and said with some disgust, "I said how did you rub the fat and powder, it turns out that the mountain demon is going to marry you." β
Helpless, he sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this yet, we have to leave quickly, and we won't be able to run away if it's too late." β
The three of them went down the mountain road without stopping.
But they were trapped in the endless desert and walked all night without getting out.
Xue Gu looked at the scorching sun overhead, frowned, and said depressedly, "It's a quicksand formation again." β
Hearing these three words, Xi He said, "I once heard Yu Jingzi mention the quicksand formation, saying that this formation can only temporarily trap people, and there is no fear of life. β
"It's true that there is no fear of life, but if you are unlucky, you will never be able to get out." She replied angrily.
"And how did you get out?"
Xue Gu's gaze looked in the direction of the mountain ghost, "Thanks to Du Gongzi, I can see through the mystery." β
"In this case, if you can go out once, you will definitely be able to go out a second time." Xihe smiled.
And his words made her smile freeze on her face, "The quicksand array is ever-changing, and this time the array is different from the last one." β
He continued, "Benjun has already probed around, and there are a total of eight directions with wind, compared to only four last time, which is why he used the same formation to trap us. β
"Eight directions?" Xue Gu said incredulously, "Last time, when there were only four directions, we searched for a day to figure it out, how can we find these eight directions?" β
At this time, Xi He put a hand between his eyebrows against the wind, noticed that the direction of the wind blowing his sleeve was not the same as the direction of the wind, and said strangely, "The wind here is so strange, it is actually reversed." β
"It's really backwards." The mountain ghost nodded and said, "Reverse direction is not in line with the laws of nature, which means that the place we are in is an illusion, not an eye. β
"So that means that the wind in the eye of the gust is in accordance with the law of wind direction?"
The mountain ghost replied, "Generally speaking, there is no wind in the eyes, and if there is really wind, it must be in accordance with the law." β
"Then we have to get out before Yujingzi arrives." Xihe hurriedly said.
The two of them followed behind the mountain ghost, and walked for a long time in the boundless quicksand formation, but they still couldn't find the eyes of the formation.
The mountain ghost felt the gaze behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Xi He's expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
"What do you want to say?" He asked.
Xihe stared at the red shaking fan in his hand and asked, "Lord Mountain Ghost, I see that your fan is so powerful, can't you directly break the quicksand formation?" β
Xue Gu looked at it smoothly, and noticed the fan in his hand for the first time up close, especially the golden eye was particularly arrogant.
The mountain ghost unfolded the folding fan in his hand and chuckled, "Not all formations can be broken strongly, and some are better outwitted." β
The sun was high, and she couldn't open her eyes, and the moment she escaped, she actually thought that Yujingzi would not let herself go so easily, but she didn't think about it so much.
Xue Gu lost her patience and simply said, "Xihe, let's pass on a signal to Master." β
"Don't wait any longer, Master, her old man is still in retreat, don't disturb her until the critical moment."
The mountain ghost inquired, "Who is your master?" β
"Family Master Lingyao Immortal Venerable, I don't know if the mountain ghost has ever heard of it?" Xihe knew that he had been trapped for many years, and it was estimated that he knew very little about the outside world.
His eyelids fluttered at the familiar name, and in an instant they returned to normal.
Seeing that he was silent, Xue Gu said lukewarmly, "I guess you don't know, my master Lingyao Immortal Venerable is the apprentice of the ancestor of the creation of the world, Qingru Divine Maiden, and the immortal position is noble, forgive you for being a little mountain demon who has never seen much of the world." β
The mountain ghost heard the contempt in her words, glanced at her lightly, and said calmly, "It's true that Benjun hasn't seen anything in the world for a long time, but at least this quicksand array Benjun can break it." β
Xue Gu choked on his words, and wanted to continue arguing with him, but was interrupted by Xi He, "We seem to be in the midst of a storm now, and the wind has stopped!" β
"Will this change your eyes?" Xue Gu was puzzled.
The mountain ghost explained, "It's not going to change, or it's just the eye of the formation." β
"The eight directions in this quicksand array represent the eight directions in the innate eight trigrams at the same time, and in the course of the day, the four hours of the only time, noon, mao, and unitary time are exactly the conjunction of yin and yang, and all things are in harmony, and it is also the time when the wind is the least in this array, and the headwind that covers the eye of the array will also disappear."
Xihe said, "So you knew where the array eye was in early on, and you brought us here on purpose." β
"The quicksand array is not difficult to crack, since Benjun can break it for the first time, he can also break it for the second time, but it will take some time."
Xue Gu pouted and said, "In that case, then you should take us out." β
The mountain ghost shook the purple fan in his hand and said unhurriedly, "In the gossip, only Kunbei is connected, put it in this quicksand array, and go north is the exit." β
Xihe bent his eyebrows, and couldn't help but praise, "Lord Mountain Ghost, you are really amazing." β
He inadvertently caught a glimpse of her fluttering red lips, and suddenly recalled the accident in the marriage room last night, and unconsciously pursed his thin lips.
After reaching the end, before the mountain ghost could take out the red shake fan, the Bright Moon Sword in Xue Gu's hand had already flown over, piercing through the barrier in front of them, and they finally returned to reality through the flowing sand gate.
As soon as he walked out, as soon as he raised his head, the smile on his lips stopped, and the group of people in front of him seemed to have been waiting for a long time at this formation, and the man at the head was still wearing the festive groom's dress last night, smiling extraordinarily brightly, "Sister, I said that if I want to marry you, I will marry you until I am married, how can I let you run away easily." β
Before Xi He's words could be spoken, Xue Gu neatly drew his sword and faced each other, and Yu Jingzi quickly dodged sideways, and the sharp sword aura lifted his long hair and the corners of his clothes.
Xue Gu turned around and pushed the sword away, forcing Yu Jingzi to retreat in a virtual step, he turned around and jumped onto the Mingyue Sword, Xue Gu wanted to lift the sword upward, but Yu Jingzi took a step forward in the air, and slapped the Mingyue Sword back with one palm, and the Mingyue Sword instantly pierced through Xue Gu's ear and pierced directly into the temple wall behind him, and a trace of sword qi that followed cut off half of Xue Gu's hair.
Knowing that Xue Gu was not his opponent, Xi He hurriedly stopped in front of Xue Gu and hurriedly said, "Don't do anything, if you have something to say." β
Xue Gu looked at her and said angrily, "What do you think there is anything else to say about a despicable villain like him?" β
Xihe attached to Xue Gu's ear and whispered, "You also fought with him just now, do you think you can beat him?" β
Xue Gu turned her head to look at the Mingyue Sword on the wall, and as soon as she closed her fist, the next moment, the Mingyue Sword returned to its scabbard.
Yujingzi walked up to Xihe, clasped her hands around her chest, and said with a smile, "I know that my sister feels sorry for me." β
At this time, the mountain ghost also came over and stood beside her, and said quietly, "I heard that there is a ban in the fairy world, prohibiting inter-ethnic marriage, if you want to marry her, you must first become an immortal." β
He looked sideways at Xihe again, hooked his lips, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Or, she fell into a demon." β
When Xue Gu heard this, she was anxious, glaring at the mountain ghost, and was furious, "Who are you, and what kind of bad idea do you have?" Xi and her will never fall into a demon, don't even think about it. β
Xihe was also wondering, obviously he was still resolute not to let her get married last night, why did he turn his head and say this again.
Yu Jingzi disagreed, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "That's the rule of the fairy world, why should we demon clans abide by it?" β
He looked at Xihe with a smile in his eyes, "I said that if I want to marry you, I will definitely marry you." β
In order to talk about it once and for all, he completely broke his delusions, and told him again categorically, "I also said that I would not marry you, so don't embarrass me anymore." β
Yu Jingzi couldn't listen to her words at all, and said arrogantly, "I know that my sister is afraid of the old people in the Heavenly Palace, but my sister can rest assured, since I dare to marry you, I will definitely be able to protect your safety, and I have my own way to deal with them." β
"You're alone? You hairy boy is really crazy, don't think that if you win my move, you will be invincible in the world, there are more people in the heavenly palace who are more powerful than you. Xue Gu sneered.
The mountain ghost slowly unfolded his red fan to cover half of his face, and he was amused by Xue Gu's words.
This woman said not long ago that he, the Demon Venerable who was feared by people 80,000 years ago, had never seen the world, and now pointed to the nose of the dignified son of the snake king and said that he was a hairy boy.
It's funny.
